Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 305 Zhang Haogu's promotion system for government officials, shocking changes in Shaanxi!

Zuo Guangdou was silent instead.

Zhang Haogu smiled and said, "Mr. Zuo, let me ask you a question!"

Zuo Guangdou pondered for a while, looked at Zhang Haogu and said, "Excuse me, Elder Ge!"

"You said, I want to build water conservancy projects and widen canals in the entire capital area and Shandong area. What is the biggest resistance?" Zhang Haogu asked with a smile.

Zuo Guangdou pondered for a while: "Money!"

"No!" Zhang Haogu shook his head: "This pavilion has no other skills. Simply speaking, the ability to make money is still first-class. If you want to make money from overseas silk and porcelain, it is not difficult. You Guess again!"

Zuo Guangdou thought for a moment, then said: "That's the problem of scheduling. When migrant workers gather together, disasters will always happen. For example, in the former Yuan Dynasty, 17 workers along the bank were ordered to build river embankments and let the people gather. If this is the case, The invasion of the cult will definitely cause turmoil!"

"In addition, there is corruption in the imperial court. First of all, the wages allocated by the emperor for repairing the river can be deducted, and the rations of the migrant workers can be deducted. Anyway, if they don't eat or drink, it has nothing to do with them. This is a large amount of income. The project The expenses can also be deducted, anyway, the flood of the Yellow River will not drown the officials like myself."

Zuo Guangdou said clearly: "The other thing is the river affairs. For such a big project, there must be corvee quotas. Find dozens of people and go to various villages. If you see a man, you will take him away. The reason? To build the embankment, if you don't want to go? Just come blackmail!"

Zhang Haogu smiled, waited until the sweet potato porridge in his hand was almost cold, and then drank it: "What you said is still wrong!"

"No?" Zuo Guangdou was taken aback for a moment, looked at Zhang Haogu and said, "Then, please give me your advice!"

"Building embankments is a matter of scheduling. As long as the money is in place, the supervision is in place, and even the people are allowed to report the embezzlement of the superiors, as long as a bottom-up feedback mechanism can be established, as long as the superior leadership is sufficient. , kill the corrupt, see if they still have the guts to continue to embezzle!"

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "This is a rough move, but it can intimidate people's hearts, so scheduling is not a problem!"

"Then what's the real problem?" Zuo Guangdou was rather curious.

"Let me ask you again, Zhao Nanxing has thousands of hectares of land in Zhending Mansion, but if he wants to repair the embankment or dig a canal, he has to pass through his land. Let me ask you, do you think Zhao Nanxing will agree?" Is it?" Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

Zuo Guangdou was stunned instead, he hesitated for a long time.

Although Zhao Nanxing and himself are both members of the Donglin Party, but based on his understanding of Zhao Nanxing, Zhao Nanxing would definitely not agree. He shook his head: "I will not agree!"

"That's it. Not only will Zhao Nanxing refuse to agree, but he will also desperately obstruct our water conservancy and road projects. Does Zhao Nanxing know that the construction of water conservancy will increase food production? Does he know that there are A road to facilitate business trade?"

Zhang Haogu looked at Zuo Guangdou and said with a smile: "If it was someone else's house, I think he would definitely agree, but this is his own house, he would definitely not agree!"

Zuo Guangdou looked at Zhang Haogu in a daze, and Zhang Haogu said casually: "So, he died not only because Zhao Nanxing colluded with bandits, but also because his existence hindered the progress of Zhending Mansion." The happy life of every common people hinders the road of prosperity for the common people of Zhending Mansion, he stands on the opposite side of the common people, so he is destined to be defeated!"

While talking, Zhang Haogu stretched out his hand, took the tea cup from the hand of the clerk on the other side, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said slowly: "So, not just one Zhao Nanxing, but the whole capital , I will gather all the land in Shandong, and if the gentry obstruct me, I will completely eliminate them!"

Zuo Guangdou's breathing began to become heavy, and Zhang Haogu said casually: "I know that the gentry in this place are always inextricably linked with the imperial court and the government, so I don't hesitate. After cutting off these relationships, I distributed the land to the common people, so that the construction of reservoirs and water conservancy projects will truly come naturally!"

"Mr. Ge, this act has killed too much and offended the gentry. There is always a better way. For example, you can discuss it with Zhao Nanxing. Maybe, maybe he will agree?" Zuo Guangdou couldn't help but said .

Zhang Haogu laughed when he heard the words: "Will you agree? Zhao Nanxing will agree, and he will not collude with bandits. Take a step back and say, even if Zhao Nanxing agrees, what about the other gentry? Don't you?" Would it be really naive to think that they would really agree?"

Zuo Guangdou couldn't help but said: "Just like Mr. Ge, if you kill them all at once, will the problem really be solved?"

"At least, now I want to build water conservancy, I want to build roads, no one dares to object, at least, now the court still has this money, doesn't it?" Zhang Haogu laughed, and said casually: " Who dares to speak out to stop it?"

Zuo Guangdou said: "Master Ge, aren't you afraid of leaving a bad name in the future?"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Do you think Zhao Nanxing's reputation is more rotten, or my reputation is more rotten?"

Zuo Guangdou opened his mouth. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Apart from other things, Zhang Haogu definitely has a hand in the public opinion war. If he wants to discredit a person, his means and ability That is beyond the reach of the entire Donglin Party.

He opened his mouth, originally wanting to say something about the common people in the world.

But one Mo, what Zhang Haogu is doing now is not only for the sake of the common people, but also for the people. Looking at Zhang Haogu who is calm and relaxed, he thinks that he is actually supporting the construction of water conservancy , For a while, I don't know what to say.

What Zhang Haogu said seems to be right.

Can't refute.
"Grand Zuo, today you are here to build water conservancy well. In the future, if you stand against the common people, I will deal with you as well!" Zhang Haogu smiled and said, "I, Zhang Haogu, can tell. It can be done!"

After leaving the Water Conservancy Bureau, Zuo Guangdou was also preoccupied.

He admitted that he was indeed prejudiced against Zhang Haogu before, but after some conversation, he suddenly discovered that even though the political ideas of the two parties are different, Zhang Haogu seems to have a good starting point.

"Men, mentor!"

As soon as Zuo Guangdou came out, Shi Kefa walked over quickly. He looked at Zuo Guangdou worriedly, and quickly said, "Men, are you okay? Zhang Haogu, a thief, did he ever abuse you?" ?”

Zuo Guangdou took a deep breath, and slowly said: "It's okay, I was wrong!"

"Wrong?" Shi Kefa couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "What's wrong?"

Zuo Guangdou took a deep breath, and slowly said: "I used to think that Zhang Haogu wanted to build water conservancy for his own self-interest, but because he was greedy for advancement, but now it seems that this is not the case. This person , but really want to implement the water conservancy in the capital area!"

Shi Kefa couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and couldn't help saying: "Men, what are you?"

Zuo Guangdou was a little tired, pinched the center of his brows, and said slowly: "Today, Zhang Haogu asked the old man for his opinion and asked about the many processes of water control. It can be seen that he sincerely wants to build water conservancy. Really let Zhang Haogu do it, I'm afraid it will benefit Qianqiu, but the old man used to think of him a little bit wrongly!"

Shi Kefa was stunned: "Master, is this so ancient?"

Zuo Guangdou fell into deep thought, and then slowly said: "Xianzhi, I heard that Zhang Haogu established Datong College in Yongding County, and recruited some scholars. This Datong College still has a lot of government affairs Member, tomorrow, you will go to Datong Academy!"

Shi Kefa was stunned: "Master, do you want me to join Zhang Haogu's sect?"

Now who doesn't know, there is another promotion system under Zhang Haogu's sect, and each of these government officials has been greatly promoted. Although they are still agents, they are still in charge of the government.

This group of people basically occupied the north.

One is the capital, and the other is Shandong. In addition, there are government officials in the center of the imperial court. These people are involved in the specific affairs of the imperial court.

This group of people are all promoted except temporarily, and they all have clear promotion standards.

There are detailed standards for how the local economy grows, how much the people's income increases, and how much tax they bring to the court.

For this, Zhang Haogu also broke his heart and set many standards, for fear that these bastards would blindly pursue GDP and exhaust their resources for fishing.

Although the promotion system that I made up is so-so, and there are even many loopholes, but it can be barely used, and if there is a problem, it will be patched slowly.

Zuo Guangdou shook his head, and said slowly: "I'm not asking you to join Zhang Haogu's sect, but I want you to go and have a look and learn more about it. You are still young, so you can try it." , You can go and see, before, the old man was biased, chatted with Zhang Haogu today, but realized that this person is also an open-minded person, if not, how could he reuse me?"

Shi Kefa pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since the mentor has spoken, the disciple is willing!"

Zuo Guangdou also nodded in satisfaction: "Go!"

The entire discussion process also took half a month, and this is the overall plan. Once the plan is established, the general direction is not allowed to be modified. Only some details can be adjusted. , only when force majeure factors are encountered can adjustments be made.

This time, the number of migrant workers mobilized is about [-], and the number of migrant workers indirectly mobilized is as large as one million.

This is just for repairing waterways.

The regulations for road construction are also being drafted

The charter was given to Zhu Youxiao.

The next step is to be approved by the Lijian Supervisor, and then the Ministry of Households will get the money, and this water conservancy project can start with great vigor.

The capital has already started to act quickly.

this is a big project
The capital began to mobilize from top to bottom, and the next step is the specific implementation stage.

West Garden, Interior Office
This office hall also officially became the Interior Office.

Zhang Haogu and his group work here. Zhang Haogu has specially handed over the repair of bridges and roads to professional talents, and he does not need to intervene in the rest of the work himself.

Learn to let go.

Professional matters are handled by professional people.

"Shaanxi, is there another severe drought?"

Zhang Haogu looked at the report in his hand, but couldn't help frowning. He took out grain to start a big project, and the news of the severe drought in Shaanxi came back?

The news is too late.

"Baorui!"

Zhang Ruitu on the side said: "Now the capital's grain has begun to be mobilized. At this moment, it is not easy for us to transport grain there!"

Zhang Haogu pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Transport grain from Shandong, do you think it is possible to transport grain by the Yellow River?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Zhang Ruitu took a deep breath, and said helplessly: "During the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the northern Jin soldiers from advancing south, Du Chong, who stayed behind in Tokyo, decided to open the Yellow River South Bank without authorization, forcing the Yellow River to flow from Si to Huaihe River. Now, the Due to frequent breaches and flooding of the Yellow River section, the Bianqu was completely submerged. From the Jin Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, the Yellow River diverted in multiple streams in southern Shandong, eastern Henan, northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui, with almost no definite course, and the silting and overflow of the river was even more serious. Common food, the Yellow River, has no transportation value!"

"Fuck!"

Zhang Haogu was also dumbfounded. After all, Nai Song was Dao Song, and he and the transportation captain were definitely in the same family.

The influence of this show operation in the Southern Song Dynasty was indeed great. It directly caused the Central Plains Dynasty to give up the strategy of transporting grain from east to west, and instead turned to the idea of ​​a north-south canal, mainly relying on the strong capacity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The dredging work of the Yellow River during this period The highest guiding principle is to protect the "water transportation" from north to south. At this time, the Yellow River has nothing to do with the value of shipping, and has become a completely useless background wall.

Even in the new era, the Yellow River cannot assume the role of transportation like the Yangtze River. It is expected to wait until 2030 for the Yellow River to be fully navigable like the Yangtze River and reach the sea across provinces.

It has to be said that the Southern Song Dynasty and the captain of the transportation team are absolutely indispensable.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Haogu took a deep breath, and quickly said: "Then prepare food from Henan, and go to Shaanxi at a uniform speed to help the victims!"

"If you have enough money in your hands, you must repair the Yellow River and make it possible for ships to pass through the Yellow River!"

Zhang Haogu pondered for a while, and then said: "Henan prepares grain. At the same time, I will bring a sum of money to Shaanxi, and let the wealthy businessmen in Shaanxi bring out the grain. At this time, the land is not allowed to be merged. I will spit out as much as I want. come out!"

Zhang Ruitu also nodded quickly. He was also very aware of Zhang Haogu's uncompromising character, and the number of people who died under his hands was definitely not a small number.

Shanxi Province
At this moment, this place has become like a hell on earth. The successive droughts have made the famine even worse in Shaanxi. Apart from the famine, there is also the epidemic. Many people have starved to death in the joints!
When the vegetation is exhausted, people eat each other
This is, at this moment, the truest portrayal of Shaanxi. =
"Pay your taxes, pay your taxes!"

Baishui County

The officials searched and extorted even more. A group of officers and soldiers came to Baishui County and said loudly, "Villager Wang Er, why don't you pay taxes?"

Baishui farmer Wang Er looked up at the officer and soldier in front of him and said, "My lord, we really haven't harvested a grain of grain from our fields this year!"

The officer and soldier sneered, and said: "It's not collected? I can't see it? It's just you gangsters who don't want to pay taxes. Haven't you heard of the new policy of the imperial court? You are required to pay 15.00% tax!"

"Our family doesn't have much tax this year!"

Wang Er said loudly: "The imperial court still wants 15.00%, you are trying to drive us to a dead end!"

At this time, the farmers in the entire Baishui County looked at these tax collectors in fear. This year, the grain harvest was already poor, and now they have to pay 15.00% tax, which is simply killing them.

Snapped!
At this moment, the officer slapped Wang Er hard on the face: "I want you to pay taxes honestly, don't you pay taxes? Then take out all the land in your family, Wouldn't it be nice to change some white flour steamed buns?"

After being slapped heavily, Wang Er's expression changed
Zhong Guangdao next to Wang Er said loudly: "You dog officials, I know that this stall is paid for by the mu. It's not like charging us so much tax. Is the imperial court going to give us land, or according to Our harvest is calculated, not [-]% of our harvest, but [-]% of our harvest, and on top of that, people with more land need to pay more taxes!"

Then, Zhong Guangdao was kicked hard on the stomach by the tax collector: "Fucking unscrupulous people, dare not pay taxes?"

While speaking, the tax collector pulled out the knife from his waist.

"Dog officer!"

Wang Er roared angrily, but swung the sickle fiercely in his hand, and the sharp sickle blade pierced the tax collector's neck fiercely.

Killed, killed?

Wang Eryi gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Kill them!"

The tax collectors were stunned and were about to scold them, but Wang Er snatched the weapons from their hands.

A group of people used Ershan for medical treatment, and hundreds of victims raised their flags to revolt in Baishui County.

Wang Er picked up the knife, painted his face with ink, and said loudly: "Brothers, we have killed these dog officials. We have absolutely no way out. Kill the dog officials to survive!"

"Dog Killer, please survive!"

kill!

Subsequently, the rebel army first fought in Chengcheng, which was severely famined.At the foot of Chengcheng County, Wang Er shouted: "Who dares to kill the county magistrate?" The crowd responded in unison: "I dare to kill!"

Wang Er felt that the army was united, so he led them into the county and killed Zhang Douyao, the county magistrate.

After opening a warehouse to help the people, Wang Er was afraid of the encirclement of the officers and troops, and retreated to the north of the Luohe River in Baishui County.

In Luohebei, more and more hungry people followed the army, and their momentum became stronger and stronger, so they moved to various parts of Weibei, attacking cities and villages, beheading evil officials, fighting the rich and helping the poor, and the people supported them.

Wang Er's rebel army grew rapidly, even at a somewhat rapid rate, and then Shaanxi immediately began to arrange officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them.

The final result was surprising, and the Ming army was defeated.

Wang Eryi's army defeated the official army.At this time, many hungry people and some deserters from Shaanxi also joined the uprising team one after another. Later, Wang Er's uprising army expanded to thousands of people, and they were active in Shanxi, Pucheng, Yijun, Luochuan, and Baishui.
