Chapter 17 Simple Things
"The 'pirates' in Jiangdong are so fussy?"
When receiving the urgent report from Hangzhou, King Li Tai of Wei was a little surprised, "There are such powerful 'pirates' in this world?"
"Your Highness, it doesn't matter whether the 'thief' is 'thief'."
The official of the Prince's Mansion reminded in a low voice, "The important thing now is how to appease the Jiangdong clans. It is important to know that the Jiangdong clans are very friendly to China. There has never been a shortage of 'filial piety' in the cold and heat for twelve years. In the old days, when they went to Chang'an, they were often called "old acquaintances of the King of Yue"..."
After shaking the fat meat, Li Tai suddenly remembered: "Yes, I almost forgot."
He was afraid of collecting Feng Zhidai's money, and he forgot that he had a not-so-small wallet. However, after moving the capital, most of the wallets were returned to the emperor's father, and fewer of them were put into his own pocket.
"Then... I am contacting Liaodong and leaving it to His Majesty for the decision?"
"Your Highness can discuss with the scholars of Hongwen Pavilion first, and then the scholars will plan to contact Liaodong. Then your Highness will summon famous scholars in Jiangdong and comfort them with words."
When Li Tai heard this, he immediately felt that doing this made sense. Although it was the same thing, it was really beneficial to sell the face of Hongwenge and Jiangdong families with just one hand.
"It's reasonable, I will go to Hongwen Pavilion in person."
It is different to summoning the scholar of Hongwen Pavilion to come and meet with the prince himself. What does it mean to give people face? This is to give people face.
At this time in Hongwen Pavilion, Kong Yingda was discussing the incident of "pirates" in Jiangdong with his colleagues. Many people were watching the excitement, but Kong Yingda still reminded them: "Since moving the capital, except for the old Luoyang tribes, the capital is now 'filial piety', and the Huaiyang, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Guangxi. It should be noted that when the three provinces are declining, 'filial piety' will be handed over to the cabinet and the inner palace. If you sit and watch the sea affairs in Jiangdong are corrupt, there will be less ice at that time and there will be no charcoal in the cold winter, don't complain about the weak public funds of the court."
"The public statement is reasonable, but we are not the head of the Ministry of War and the police guards, what if it does?"
"If we ask for the people for their own sake, the local government will suffer. Since we are Chinese ministers, we should be sympathetic..."
Kong Yingda said halfway, picked up the teacup and took a small sip. The bachelor's and Hongwen Pavilion interns were stunned for a moment, and then thought carefully and felt that Old Man Kong was right.
In the current situation, after all, the scholars of Hongwen Pavilion cannot directly exert force on the local government. Their own official positions cannot directly interfere with local "public security". However, because of the special nature of the scholars of Hongwen Pavilion, they have an impact on the direction of governance.
If the local government relies on a certain Hongwen Pavilion bachelor's degree, then the personal tendency of this bachelor will lead to the originally ambiguous policies of the prefectures and counties becoming clear immediately, and "favoring the emperor" is a convention.
Furthermore, the "pirates" can be big or small. Just as the "horse thieves" in the north can be big or small. To put it in a big way, it means that the "barbarians from outside" are striking the border. To put it in a small way, it means that the local public security is a bit disordered.
As for whether this "transformed barbarian" is really a barbarian, it doesn't matter. Most of the time, this organized troublemaker is the powerful Han family, and it is not entirely a "big dog dealer" who does import and export trade in border areas.
So the attack will not be a blow. If it is a blow, it depends on the needs of the top. For example, if Wen Yanbo is alive, the "horse thieves" in the north will be small, why? Because it is very likely that the "horse thieves" are Wen Yanbo's relatives, so can they be punished to death? As long as the soldiers in the border government are not regular soldiers, they are looking for trouble. As for the souvenirs in the county, they are not so brave.
He is loyal and selfless, and he is not a background.
Kong Yingda's meaning is actually understood after thinking about it. No matter what the "pirates" are like, they will yell in the court first, express sympathy for the local government first, and start with public opinion first. It is not without public opinion's policy. Yes, the bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion has no real power for the time being, so what? The emperor has the will to open them all.
Since the emperor cannot fire them all, we have to talk about it separately.
Under the background of the emperor's intentional suppression of military honors and aristocratic families, the "partners" who governed the country with the emperor must re-support. After the emperor's will gradually become clear, most of Kong Yingda and others understood the emperor's needs. There were two targets of support, each of which was divided into civil and military.
The imperial examination and Jinshi are literary, while the low-level officer is martial.
When everyone nodded, how to get benefits from this situation depends on the ability to calculate. It is nothing more than the two groups of low-level imperial examinations and Jinshi officials who need more people and fewer people from other families. In this way, even if the interests of the old era are cut off, they can still be made up for in the new era.
Kong Yingda said "pleading for the people", and the scholars of Hongwen Pavilion did not go to kill thieves, but just talked about it, without any expenses, and were very influential. If they really wanted to start killing thieves, the first merits of the thieves should not be forgotten. Just like An Pu's Laozi Anxili, who was obviously a useless man, but among the Western Regions, he jumped out to fight against the Turks. Then no matter how weak Anxili was, the Tang Dynasty would express his opinion.
As for whether a few people can be put into certain areas where thieves can be killed in the subsequent specific policies, it depends on your ability to not be in place. Only by being troubled water can you catch fish. Kong Yingda does not want to stuff his children into the place and get a job.
The emperor gave kindness to low-level officers, which made all the glory and interests of low-level officers tied to the emperor. As long as the emperor was still strong, he would not be able to play with it. If one day he was tied up and blackmailed by the low-level officer group, it would only mean that the empire had expanded to a time when it had to undergo a thorough change.
Who is not a human being who can hang out in Hongwen Pavilion and gain reputation in the court?
Kong Yingda only started to start, and everyone had already figured out how to write suggestions to the emperor. He not only showed loyalty to the emperor, but also showed kindness to the Jiangdong clan, which was a killing of two birds with one stone.
As for whether to take the opportunity to get some mulberry fields, looms, docks, and warehouses in Jiangdong at this time, it depends on your appetite.
But before a group of bachelors could have time to be beautiful, they saw King Li Tai of Wei coming. After they came, they brought up the incident of Jiangdong's "pirates" and said.
When King Wei spoke, Kong Yingda and others turned green.
After Li Tai left, someone cursed angrily: "What kind of shame, even this credit is to take!"
"Hey. The King of Wei is a honest person, and he will not do this. I think it was the prince's staff who gave advice, so what if he did. However, there is also a benefit to the handling of this. If things change, if Liaodong asks for inquiries, it will be the King of Wei to deal with it, and it will have nothing to do with us."
"How can this matter change? Can a mere 'pirate' turn the world?"
“'Pirate'?"
Kong Yingda couldn't help but sneer at such an age, "Which 'pirate' have you seen that can block the entire Zhejiang River Seakou?"
“…”
Some details may not be able to be caught by anyone, but who is Kong Jijiu? He has never dealt with a local dog. When the sugar was sold, he got the monopoly rights of more than ten prefectures and counties, and made a lot of money. It was better than enclosing tens of millions of acres of land.
However, the sugar price was severely lowered later. After the suppression, the profit was not too great, and the profit was all on overseas exports. The transformation of Kong Jijiu's entire family also changed accordingly. The tail of a certain local dog is the main weather vane for the family's career changes.
Seeing Lao Kong say this, someone woke up. I'm afraid it's really a bit deep here.
