Li Di stood up, walked back and forth at the table for two steps, and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, if you don't count the property of re-establishing households, you will be useless and useless!"

Xu Ping had tried his best to calm himself down, but he was still a little angry at this time and couldn't help asking: "How do you say this to me?"

Li Di turned around, looked at Xu Ping and asked, "Xu Longtu, do you know what the biggest use of fixed households is?"

"The upper-class households of the people only account for less than 10% of the total number, but 70% of the world's wealth is in their hands. If there is no fixed household, the tax service will fall on the lower-class poor households, which is uneven!"

"It's not bad. Determination of households is to let local governments suppress the powerful, and the poor people have a way out. Since that's the case, why must it be so detailed? Just use households and others to distribute the service department to the large households. If you divide it in detail, then the county and county officials can only do things according to the rules, and they will be restrained, and they will not become clerks?"

Xu Ping said: "What's wrong with doing things according to regulations?"

Xu Ping felt a little unsure when he said this. Since there were differences between officials, there were naturally different requirements. All officials who followed the rules were despised by scholars and officials, and being an official was about pioneering achievements. Public officials were completely the opposite, and they required to follow the rules and do things completely in accordance with the rules. Once they were surpassed, they would be a big mistake.

Officials emphasize that nothing is wrong, while officials are nothing is wrong, and different groups of people have different positionings.

Naturally, enterprising officials would object that everything has been ruled, and the way the predecessors handled it may not be right, so why can't they play a better way? Lu Yijian became the target of public criticism, although it was because he formed cliques, and it was also related to his establishment of regulations and the use of regulations to consolidate his position.

The prefectures and county officials are princes. The court only cares about making requests. You care about how they govern. If you have merits, you will be punished. If you have mistakes, you will be punished. If your superiors are less sceptical, you may not be able to have a low level of governance.

Li Di is a traditional scholar-official. When he heard that Xu Ping wanted to make detailed rules, he instinctively opposed it. There is naturally the principle of governing the world and saving people in the books of sages. How can scholars get so many rules when they become officials?

Looking at Xu Ping's appearance, Li Di snorted coldly: "We scholars use the great way to assist the king and govern the world. Everything is done according to the old rules. Then don't you think of yourself as an old official? Xu Longtu, please consider this matter carefully!"

Xu Ping coughed, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "My husband, you can't say that. If there is no such thing as a fixed household, the family will be a household registration this year and a household registration next year, the final rules will be inappropriate. Those who calculate property will be clerks!"

"What's the fault of one or several companies? It won't affect the overall situation! Besides, the officials who do things are the officials who set the rules are the officials of the prefectures and county officials. They will naturally decide according to the people's conditions of the prefectures and counties! I said, what's the use of re-setting these?"

"My husband, households and others use the wealth of the people to determine the wealth of the people, so that the servants and departments can first become rich and then the poor, so as to avoid the people's misfortune. This is one. Another way to use the wealth of the fixed households and other, which ones can adjust the flow of private wealth and let the people buy assets that can produce more wealth. For example, the plowing ox just mentioned is not included in the assets of the private households, so there will inevitably be more cattle. If there are more cattle raising, naturally, it can save manpower when farming, and cultivate more land and produce more food, right?"

"Nonsense! The wealth in the world is fixed, if it is not here, where do you want to adjust it? The wealth in the world is either in the official or in the people, not in the hands of the rich people, or in the hands of the poor. As long as you die, unless you are special, the servants and the staff can only spread to the top and middle-class accounts, and the world will be peaceful. Xu Longtu, if you only do something useless, I will not talk about you. But if you divide the households into the public, and the people will be disturbed for a few years, how can you make it?"

Xu Ping said in a deep voice: "Do you think the regulations on re-registration of household registration are useless?"

"It's not just useless, but harmful, and people cannot be at peace!"

Xu Ping stood up and said to Li Di: "Okay, the official documents from the Transportation Department will only ask each prefecture and county to submit a letter to review their opinions. Since my husband thinks it is useless and harmful, he can just write it on the letter and reply to the Transportation Department. I can't do anything about this, and then all states will not use the same standards. It's enough that Mengzhou under my rule remains unchanged!"

Seeing Xu Ping's face turned pale, Li Di's tone eased a little: "You say this, it's still a good teacher, unlike some young people who have a timid temper. Let the states take it into consideration, and it's almost the same."

"But, my husband, I'm talking about it before. At that time, I will not only compare each state with previous years. Each state will also compare with other states on this road, and each county will also compare with other counties in this state."

After hearing this, Li Di couldn't help but laugh: "Where do you get the confidence? You can cure prefectures and counties according to what you say! I have been an official for decades and will still care about how you compete in the exam! Haha, that's it, that's it!"

While talking, Li Di smiled and shook his head and walked, obviously thinking that Xu Ping was telling a joke.

Xu Ping had no time to tell jokes to him, there was no way. In theory, it didn't make sense, so he could only convince these people with facts. The Transshipment Author had no administrative authority, and Li Di had no choice but to resist and not implement his own policies. Instead of making such a embarrassment, it would be better to go their own way. It was because Xu Ping could not boost the economy of Jingxi Road, so if he really made achievements, he would leave only Mengzhou, and the Transshipment Author's supervision power would give Xu Ping something to say.

The former prime minister was once the imperial teacher. If he really got the worst evaluation, he would see where Li Di's old face was put.

At this time, the assessment of prefecture and county officials is generally taken as an average value in the previous three or five years and established as the ancestral value. If this year exceeds this ancestral value, it is qualified. More than 10% will be promoted or reduced according to regulations. If the ancestral value is not reached, it will be punished if it is less than 90%. Generally, the number of ancestral value will be extended. The gap is less than 10%, and there is no reward or punishment, which is a reasonable error.

The comparison method is rarely used. Historically, it was widely implemented during Wang Anshi's reform. In the words of Xu Ping's previous life, it was the last-place elimination system. The assessment of prefectures and counties is not only compared with the ancestors, but also with the surrounding prefectures and counties. The worst one is dismissed. The economic development is restricted by many factors. The comparison method is simple and crude, which is very deceptive. It is easy for local officials to fish out of their own land and overdraw local economic potential, especially not conducive to the implementation of some long-term policies.

Of course, Xu Ping would not adopt the last-place elimination system, but in order to encourage officials who work with him, he would have to divide the prefects of Jingxi Road into different levels. Every year, these are their future promotions in the officialdom.

After not reaching an agreement with Li Di, Xu Ping said goodbye and returned to the front office to preside over the inspection of Mengzhou's official duties.

The money and grain owners in the state were in charge of the magistrates. They watched the criminal prisons in the verdict and the military. Seeing that there were no major or suspected cases, Xu Ping went to the magistrate hall.

At this time, Li Shenan sat behind his case, watching the public officials in each case busy and sorting out various official documents for inspection. He knew what he had done. He had been diligent this year and had no handle for others to arrest him. He was naturally calm and did not feel nervous.

Seeing Xu Ping coming, Li Shen hurriedly got up and saluted.

Xu Ping nodded: "Let them go and have a good time, let's sit down and talk."

Li Chan thanked him and ordered the public officials to come and have tea.

After drinking tea, Xu Ping thought about it and said, "I just met Mr. Li of the Zhizhou. He did not agree to redefine how to divide households, etc., thinking that one is useless and the other is disturbing the public. How did you think?"

Li Shen smiled bitterly: "Ducao, the subordinates naturally do things according to the instructions of the governor of the prefect, so what can they think?"

Xu Ping smiled and said, "You don't have to be nervous. I'm not here to disagree with you. I just made a decision with Mr. Li, Mengzhou will not participate in the matter of re-issueing the household registration. Now I ask you, just listen to your thoughts, and there is no other meaning. Of course, other states have major changes, so there will naturally be more affairs. Mengzhou has fewer things, so you will inevitably have to go to other states to do things."

"Don't Mengzhou participate in it?" Li Shen was a little disappointed. "Du Cao had something to tell me, and the officials should do it with their hearts."

Li participated in Xu Ping's contact with him, and thought that as he said, he would definitely be able to achieve some results. Li Shen was originally from a noble family and needed these real political achievements and promotions. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed at this time. However, he had to do what Li Di decided to do, with no one in the court and no confidence to go against the magistrate.

"Let me tell you what you think first. I know what you think. After the river is built in winter, there will inevitably be major changes in Jingxi Road next year, and there will be many temporary things, so people will inevitably be transferred from prefectures and counties."

Li Shen thought about it over and over again and said, "The officials thought that what Ducao said made sense in Luoyang City last time. If they were really done according to the plan, the money and grain on Jingxi Road could increase by a lot within two or three years, of course, it would be a good thing."

"Just say this with you! As soon as the spring of the next year, the idle fields on both sides of the Yellow River will be sent by the Yingtianwu to reclaim them. You should first check the number of acres in Mengzhou and be prepared. Remember that it is idle fields, and you should connect them into large areas. Never count the land that the people are farming to avoid causing disputes."

Li Chan said respectfully: "The official understands that he will arrange someone to do it in two days."

"The field business is mainly about planting cotton and rotating rice and wheat. Once the place is assigned to them, the local area will not be able to interfere. You can only wait for the harvest to share the portion you should get. Rice and wheat are grain, and cotton is purchased by the three departments and the Transportation Commission. It is all cash. You must be clear about this and have a clear idea of ​​it."
