Chapter 551
When Zhao Bing first arrived in Qiongzhou, in order to ensure military supplies and avoid the goal of the army being burdened by logistics, Zhao Bing carried out a series of reforms.
'BiQuGe.
CN has changed the grassroots regimes in the township, changed the way of selecting clerks, strengthened baojia, and subsidized civil servants, etc., which changed the grassroots regimes for a long time in a loose, scattered, poor and weak state. Therefore, once war arises, governments and personnel at all levels will immediately and efficiently mobilize to complete the tasks of collecting food and fodder, raising new recruits, preparing funds, paying military supplies and mobilizing civil servants.
After the Battle of Qizhou Ocean, the trip to Yashan and the inspection of several major events in Quanzhou, this system can operate efficiently and successfully complete the war mobilization and material preparation. Not to mention what will happen in the long run, at least at this stage, the smooth progress of the war has been ensured, and there has not been a matter of delaying war preparations due to local work.
However, as officials in the court gradually sent local governments, variables appeared after Zhao Bing led his army to the expedition. The officials sent to the country demanded the restoration of the original system and abolished the new regulations on the grounds that the clerks participated in government affairs, had too much power, and needed the court to pay salaries, and the people had to pay compensation for labor. They violated the family laws of the ancestors and the court's laws and the court's laws, so as to achieve the purpose of saving court expenses and preventing gentry and clerks from engaging in power.
After reviewing the 6, Xiufu felt that this was a heavy economic burden for the court. Moreover, the participation of clerks in local government affairs was not in accordance with the court's practice and should be abolished. In order to be cautious, he still held a meeting and asked the court officials to express their opinions on this matter. At that time, Zhao Bing personally enlisted the government and left the court officials, and the officials who were left behind were at an absolute disadvantage in the court and were easily approved. After Chen asked the Empress of Heaven to approve, the Secretariat issued a document to restore the old system and abolish the new system.
However, the number of people in the local area, the original general's mansion occupied the majority, and the important positions were all selected and appointed by Zhao Bing himself, which caused local dissatisfaction. However, the court forced the rectification within a time limit, and the policy was implemented, which also aroused conflicts between the two sides and led to the incompatibility of government orders. After the Eastern Expedition Army conquered Qiongzhou, a large number of materials were transported back, and the civilians needed to be recruited to load and unload and transported.
In the past, this was not a problem. The General's Mansion only needed one order to go to various prefectures and counties. The clerks and Baozheng below would enforce the orders, and they would receive rations and subsidies at the same time, and then collect civil servants to go there. However, at this time, the new law was abolished and the original system was difficult to restore. Either the recruitment could not be obtained or the subordinates were passively slackened, resulting in a situation where the goods were unloaded after the ship arrived at the port.
6 Xiufu knew that the ship would return immediately after unloading the goods, and His Majesty was urging him to the cargo, but the more difficult things were to control. He did not expect this situation to occur. On the one hand, he ordered the local government to quickly recruit civilians, and on the other hand, he quickly asked the garrison to serve as loaders and unloaders to unload the ship. Originally, Zhao Bing took away most of the Qiongzhou army in the eastern expedition, and the former imperial guards were still under training and could not be used. The remaining troops were fewer, and the tasks they undertake were heavy. They were naturally exhausted to carry out military affairs and unload ships, which aroused dissatisfaction from the military.
Under the strict orders of the court, local prefectures and counties suppressed tasks at all levels. Officials from the General Administration were dissatisfied with the arbitrary change of the "Sage Order" and they would definitely not work hard when they were executed. The newly arrived officials did not understand the local situation and destroyed the original system. Of course, they would have to use the strong execution to implement the task, which caused dissatisfaction among the people. They cursed the court's orders every day, which made it very likely that the prestige that Zhao Bing had just established was lost.
6 The side effects of Xiufu's arbitrary change of the new system were also very obvious, which led to a large amount of goods being unable to enter the warehouse quickly, resulting in a pile of goods on the dock. The people of Quanzhou who arrived in advance were difficult to resettle in time, and stayed around Qiongzhou Prefecture City, slept in the countryside. The original promises could not be fulfilled, so they felt deceived, and they all demanded to return to Quanzhou. This made the rushing party feel overwhelmed, but they couldn't think of any good way to change it. They opened it countless times, but could not come up with a proposal, which led to the tendency of worsening.
The Bureau of Affairs has the responsibility to supervise public opinion. They knew that the situation was serious and quickly reported the situation. Although Zhao Bing was anxious after receiving it, he was very helpless and could only sigh secretly. It was him who remembered someone in his previous life who said the officialdom's slickness and slickness, and said, "I heard your words quite reasonable, but I dare not say it; although it may be fine, it will never be wrong; since this is the case, it must be correct, it seems that it is almost the same; probably or maybe it is, but I am afraid it may not be necessary; so I always think that I am still unsure...
"I'm not afraid of no good things, but I'm afraid of no good people!" Zhao Bing sighed and said to himself.
On the surface, this incident was caused by the conflict caused by the arbitrary reform of the new system, but in fact, in Zhao Bing's view, it was caused by a secret struggle between the two hills. This situation also had a lot to do with him. When Xingchao was possible to settle in Qiongzhou, he was cautious in order to ensure his status. Because the arrival of Xingchao, he would inevitably be marginalized and he did not have the ability to compete with the imperial court bosses, so he took the lead in appointing local officials in the name of the General Administration. Of course, these people were their confidants or promoted by him.
In this way, Zhao Bing thought that he had controlled the local forces, and when the court came to the forefront, he had to rely on the local area. Then he had to rely on the commander-in-chief to control the local area and had the capital to bargain with the court, so he would not be beaten back to his original form, but he did not expect to bury a thunder for himself. After he ascended the throne, these people were self-respecting their disciples and of course they had to protect their master. Now that he was away, the confidants knew that they were unable to fight against the empress dowager's edict, so they used non-cooperation to confront each other secretly, waiting for him to return to the court before talking.
After arriving in Qiong, Zhao Bing thought he was the emperor, and both the central and local governments were under his control, so he didn't think much. Unexpectedly, they didn't think so. They had secretly divided into two forces. The people in the central government looked down on the local buns in the Supervisor's Mansion, so they wanted to make them suffer and establish their own authority, but they didn't expect that the local buns would not buy their accounts at all. Both sides held up the cow, but put Zhao Bing in the middle, which made him feel very embarrassed to deal with it.
To dig deeper into the roots, Zhao Bing thought it was still a problem with the feudal regime. Everyone knew that the emperor could exhaust him to death, not only by ruling a country, but by governing a prefecture and county. Therefore, the regime would rely on the state machine to rule the majority by achieving a minority of people and a top-down "reliable" bureaucratic team.
This pyramid-shaped bureaucratic team, rule of man is the core of its ruling order, and rule of law is just an auxiliary means to manage society. On the one hand, if the rulers want to obtain the loyalty of "reliable" officials, they must give them privileges; on the other hand, in order to obtain the privilege, officials will give their loyalty to the superior rulers, and strive to become a "reliable" person and strive for improvement, thus forming a unique ruling system in the ** society. However, in the bureaucratic team, people who do not have the ambition to serve the country, but more for "promotion and wealth".
The so-called "promotion" is ultimately for "wealth". Because the higher the official promotion, the more opportunities for wealth, the greater the wealth. Since being an official is for money, he naturally needs to try his best to be greedy, take bribes, and plunder as much as possible. Therefore, Chinese history has been full of corrupt officials for thousands of years. Although there are so-called honest officials, they are often legendary by people as myths. Treating "clean officials" as "legends", which is enough to prove how the corruption of Chinese bureaucrats has reached the level of universalization!
In order to promote, officials fight each other and fight to the death. In fact, it may not be a bad thing for the ruler. In this way, he can play well and be good at both sides, so as to ensure that his status is not lost and someone listens to his words. Because if you don't do it, I can immediately promote your opponent and let him do it. When your opponent takes power, you can imagine your fate, so that everyone has to be careful to serve you.
However, those in power are not all confused. For example, Zhao Bing, who knows very well that some people will do whatever they want to go to power, and this is not what he wants to see. A few days ago, he studied the works of Han Feizi, the world's most rude man. In order to explain this truth to Qin Shihuang, he also told a short story:
It is said that there is a wine seller in State of Song. He trades fairly, is rude, treats others with a gentle and kindness, and the wine tastes sour and the wine flag is high. In a word, the hardware is quite powerful. However, he has accumulated a lot of good wine, but no one comes to buy it. After a long time, the wine becomes sour, and the taste is even more exciting than old vinegar. The wine seller feels strange, and I don’t know what’s wrong, so he consults Yang Qian, the neighbor’s wise old man.
Yang Qian said: Are the dogs you raise ferocious?
The wine seller said: Dogs are very ferocious, but does this have anything to do with the inability to sell wine?
Yang Qian said: Of course it’s a big deal. People who want to buy wine are afraid of your dog! Some people beat their children, put money in, and came to get wine with pots. As soon as they arrived at the door, your dog rushed out, scaring them to run back like a leader. In this way, who would dare to buy wine?
Han Feizi actually wants to say that the country also has such evil dogs, namely the traitors and bad guys around the monarch. Talented people, with the great ability to govern the country, want to assist the king. However, those traitors and bad guys are jealous of the virtuous and capable, fearing that they will take their jobs, so they jump out like evil dogs to bite people.
