Chapter 100(1/2)

Under the gaze of the emperor and the prince, Wang Xi carefully read the article written by the prince. When he let it go, he respectfully asked the emperor: "The prince's highness said that the court officials retired at the age of age is feasible, and the previous dynasty also had such policies, but because the age was too high, it was useless. The elderly care wealth he gave was mostly rewarded by the emperor. There were very few people over seventy, only a few people."

"Everyone receives different favors and receives very different rewards. For the most, there are ten thousand taels of silver and at least some food. In this dynasty, this system was almost abandoned, and the old ministers all reported to retire and pray for rest, or died in office without asking for retirement. In the great harmony of the sage, there was a mention of "old people have something to support", which is a great good thing, and the subtleties of it need to be discussed with the cabinet before the draft can be drafted."

Wang Xi means that in the previous dynasty, the age of retirement was too high, so who can live to be seventy years old?

"Since that's the case, the matter will be led by the Minister of the Beloved, and the cabinet votes were proposed," Kangxi called Wang Xi not only for this, but also said: "The prince will cooperate with the prince, and the affairs of the prince can be discussed with the prince, and I am just waiting for the final result."

The cabinet was in charge of the politics of the world. From the emperor having ideas to the cabinet's plan to draw a draft, implement administrative orders, and issue them to the corresponding departments to implement them. Kangxi called Wang Xi to make the prince familiar with the operation of the cabinet and master the steps to implement the government orders.

The cabinet is located south of the Forbidden City, very close to the Meridian Gate. The foreign minister entered through the Meridian Gate, and Yinreng walked closer through the Meridian Gate. As soon as he entered the Meridian Gate, he saw several palaces, and the west side was the cabinet.

After the emperor's instructions, Wang Xi then bowed to Yinreng: "I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to come to the cabinet."

Kangxi nodded and said to Yinreng: "Shen Shi will come back and follow me to listen to the lecture."

It's rare, the emperor who wished that Yinreng would tie him to his belt could let him follow Wang Xi to the cabinet.

[Xiaomei thinks that the child's father wants to do something that cannot be known to the child. Maybe this is the emperor's secret to time management!] Baihu told Yinreng with a serious expression.

Yinreng's heart moved and asked it with interest: Xiaomei might as well see for Gu, what is Khan Ama doing, Gu also wants to become like Khan Ama knows how to manage time.

Xiaomei's scalp was numb and she immediately closed her mouth.

If the emperor went to find a concubine to play with making babies, would it be struck by lightning again when it said it?

Wang Xi was waiting for Yinreng, and when the young prince came running, the old minister slowed down thoughtfully and asked Yinreng: "Do you need to order someone to carry the sedan chair?"

"The cabinet is not far away, Gu can walk by himself. Thank you Lord Wang for taking care of Gu," Yinreng walked quickly with his calf, without any breath when he walked. Wang Xi, who is more than fifty-four years old, is much shorter than Khan Ama. He can't keep up when Khan Ama walks!

Wang Xi guided Yinreng: "Your Highness is kind and grateful, I dare not take it. Please go here."

When Yinreng arrived, the palace people who followed the crown prince were waiting outside under the leadership of Jinxiu, Madam Xu and Yuzhu, and let Yinreng enter the cabinet alone.

There are six Grand Secretary of the Cabinet working in this palace. His eyes lit up slightly and he found that the third grandfather and the pearl in his hand were among them. Du Lide was also here, sorting out the case and handing over the entrustment matters with others.

Nearly half of them were familiar faces, and Yinreng suddenly felt no more nervous about going to a strange place.

Everyone looked surprised when they saw Wang Xi bringing the prince. In addition to the first cabinet minister, fifteen cabinet ministers came in and out of here, busy with various government affairs.

Wang Xi summoned the Grand Secretary and said, "The Emperor ordered His Highness the Crown Prince to work with his ministers to take charge of this matter."

Soetu, who was also a Grand Secretary of the Baohe Palace, was secretly happy. The other Grand Secretarys were like Huang Ji, and Wu Zhengzhi were all Han ministers, and his relationship with Wang Xi was harmonious, and Nalan Mingzhu's smile became lighter.

The emperor now lets His Highness contact the affairs of the cabinet, and he really intends to cultivate a crown prince who can supervise the country. The eldest prince is still studying in the study room and is not fortunate to be able to go to and from the political and important places with the emperor.

Du Lide's smile is the easiest and kindest. He has successfully retired, and of course he is in a good mood. If the retirement and pension system is implemented this time, he will be the direct beneficiary.

The Grand Secretary and Yinreng greeted each other and arranged seats for him.

The retirement and pension system is just a small matter among many government affairs for the cabinet that operates smoothly. In the spacious venue, everyone recruits bachelors in the cabinet to discuss the draft charter. The division of labor is clear. Who is responsible for formulating the retirement pension figures and who is responsible for handling the process of contacting doctors.

These difficult affairs in Yinreng's impression seemed to have become easy things to do in front of these capable ministers. Some people even proposed: "May the allowances may be increased as the year goes to reduce the amount of medical expenses. In fact, people have limited lifespan, and few can survive over seventy, but it is difficult to survive over the years, and the disease will be reduced. My ministers suggest that those who work hard and make great contributions to the Qing Dynasty will be exempted from medical expenses."

"If the old ministers are great contributions, in addition to the six golds and the compensation of the doctor, the emperor also praises the reputation of the emperor."

"Maybe you can give me the reputation of your life and be famous."

"It is better to give the national scholars the highest reputation."

"If there is someone who is uninterrupted and wants to stay, then it can be made an exception and is called "the king's order is resolute to the lord."

The cabinet's efficient behavior can achieve many arrangements for the emperor's political leaders within one day. Now that people are gathered together to specialize in retirement and pension systems, Yinreng's eyes have become the Eight Immortals who show their magical powers. In just half an hour, they drafted the charter in a very good manner. He looked at this speech and that speech, and he was happy without saying a word.

Wang Xi also took care of Yinreng and asked: "What do you think about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Everyone looked at Yinreng one after another, and saw the little prince sitting upright, looking at them with bright eyes.

Everyone here is shining!

Xiaomei praised deeply: [The Cabinet is also known as the "Qing Qing Society and Animal Work Center"] "The adults have thoughts comprehensively, but I have no idea for the time being."

They didn't think Yinreng could say anything, but after completing the drafting of the charter efficiently, they submitted the charter for Wang Xi to review and then handed it over to Yinreng for review.

Wang Xi told Yinreng: "This is the first draft plan, and Your Highness can change it on it, and then the minister will make a second draft."

Yinreng asked: "You guys did not mention the question of how old the elderly ministers retired. The previous dynasty retired at the age of 70."

Normal people can't live this time.

Nalan Mingzhu said: "This matter can be decided by the emperor."

How old should I retire? That is something that the emperor can decide at once. It only depends on which old ministers Kangxi wants to let the current court enjoy their old age in advance. No one wants to do such offending old ministers with high status.

"Khan Ama is just waiting for the result and handed over the matter to Lord Gu and Lord Wang."

Yinreng discusses the facts, but when he is serious, he does not give him any room for detour.

Wang Xi was not afraid of offending others. He was an emperor and an isolated minister, a pure Han minister, had nothing to do with Manchu ministers, and he was devoted to the country. He knew that if there were too many elderly ministers who did not want to leave office, both the capital officials and the local officials had one common feature, that is, they were prone to mistakes. If the government orders were prone to mistakes, the government orders were not subject to success, and the people were suffering and burdened.

Wang Xi said seriously: "If the predecessors do not stop, it will be difficult for future generations to change. If this continues, there may be the pain of old age. Now that medical skills are developing, the stubborn diseases that are difficult to cure in ancient times can have hope of curing. I think that court officials can retire if they are 60 years old."

Wang Xi himself is the highest-ranking official. He is fifty-four years old and proposed to retire at the age of 60, which means he can do it for another six years.

The rest of the people, including Soetu, Nalan Mingzhu, etc., were all over forty years. After hearing Wang Xi say this first, I guessed that Wang Xi might have the idea of ​​praying for two years.

Yinreng thought about the names of the officials who died of illness in the court and said in a tangled manner: "A person who is fifty has been seriously ill and minor illnesses, and there are many officials who are said to be sick. Is it too late to retire from sixty?"

Everyone was silent and went to see Wang Xi.

But even if he has serious and minor illnesses, he will be able to survive until Wang Xi's age and retire as soon as he is promoted, which is too disrespectful to Lord Wang.

Wang Xi became a Jinshi in the fourth year of Shunzhi, and has been in the officialdom for 35 years. He has never seen anyone. When he saw that the young prince was really worried about asking questions, rather than targeting him, he said, "Your Highness, I am more than fifty-four years old this year. Do you think the old minister can still be competent for this position?"

Yinreng observed Wang Xi, and saw that he was full of energy and his eyes were wise. He nodded and asked Wang Xi again: "Do you have any worries about getting sick?"

"When the disease comes, it is God's will. If you are over forty years old, you may have illnesses. Even if you ask for a question, you may have bad eyesight."

By the way, Grandpa San is still myopic, and he can tell from reading books!

Since the popularization of glasses, Soetu took the lead in wearing glasses. The court officials did not feel embarrassed. Those with eye disease could get glasses. They were so caring for them. They were very comfortable in handling official duties. Yinreng looked around and saw nearly half of the six major scholars wearing glasses.

"You might as well add an additional note. If you are over fifty years old, you are an elderly person. If you have illnesses from fifty to sixty, you can reduce the medical expenses."

"It is not advisable to be sick if you are sick, or take office while you are sick. Khan Ama will be sympathetic to his ministers and will not be willing to die in office if he is overworked. He may order officials over fifty to attach two deputy officers. When he is sick, his deputy can take over his administrative affairs, and share the pressure on his government affairs when he is recovered, and do other miscellaneous tasks." It is equivalent to assigning two secretary to an elderly minister.

[The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is the Emperor's Secretary, and the children will assign the secretary to the secretary.] "What your highness thinks is reasonable, and the ministers of the six ministries have done this for the ministers of the six ministries. The other official positions are mostly replaced by subordinates or assigned to the emperor. In addition, more official positions are required, which are not only for retirement and retirement, but also for major affairs in the court, which cannot be decided by Your Highness." If someone else said this, it may offend the young prince, but it is said by Soetu, which is full of kindness and earnest teaching.

"Are the same for the Grand Secretary?" Yinreng said.

"If the Grand Secretary of the Palace and Pavilion dies of illness, there will be precedents no longer set up. Today, the Grand Secretary is not full of vacancies. There are very few people in the court who can serve as the first-rank Grand Secretary. However, the cabinet will conduct the government affairs and draft copywriting, and the cabinet will be the main force."

[No one wants to have an extra deputy to share their power, and cultivating and supporting their confidants is another matter! Otherwise, how could the third grandpa and Mingzhu fight like that? Children don’t think that the situation is going well now, because this matter has not touched their interests. If there are pros and cons, they will pull each other back.] In the end, everyone agreed that “you will enjoy medical exemptions over the age of fifty-five, and if you are under fifty-five, everything will be as usual.”

Everyone was satisfied with the final draft of the charter. After unanimously passing it, someone would submit a report to the emperor on the morning of the next day to read the content, and then say, "I have drawn up an order... I respect this."

The emperor will say whether it is accurate or not. If it is correct, the matter will be implemented in the following departments.

Yinreng likes to think and ask questions, and his divergent thinking often makes him think more profoundly.

When everyone scattered to do other things, Soetu wanted to get close, but because Wang Xiheng was among them, he should not seem too intimate with His Royal Highness here, so he gave up.

Wang Xi asked Yinreng: "I have seen the crown prince think deeply for a long time, but I wonder if your highness is suspicious?"

Yinreng looked at the others, looked at him, and asked Wang Xi humbly: "Mr. Wang, the officials in the court, need to consider this comprehensively. What about the retirement problems of scholars, farmers, workers, and businessmen? The sage said, "There is a place to support the young, and the elderly have a place to support the elderly." The Qing Dynasty could make the people in the world have a place to support the elderly?"

Wang Xi was extremely surprised: "Your Highness still wants to push this move to the whole world?"

Yinreng shook his head: "I'm afraid there will be many difficulties. I just thought of it, so I came to ask the adults for their doubts."

Wang Xi pondered for a moment and replied: "It is indeed difficult to implement the retirement system of all people in the world, because the money paid in it will become a major issue for national expenditure. However, scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants have many people and different positions, so it is difficult to obtain regulations."

"However, the court also provides assistance services to the elderly, young, widowed and widowed, disaster relief, raising and raising the elderly and even local officials is a reflection of the political achievements of local officials. Many capable ministers have developed Yixue under their rule, established nanny churches, and confucianism and widows. "

Yinreng asked again: "What if the tax he paid is counted?"

"Taxes should not be moved rashly, this has nothing to do with the former," Wang Xi said seriously.

Yinreng asked Wang Xi: "It is not tax, but it is included in pension. Medical funds are accumulated to a large amount. After a certain period of time, you can enjoy pension assistance policies when you reach the age of retirement. Get the money and food collected by young people to help you with the elderly, and young people will eventually get old one day. If this implementation is implemented, it may be possible to make the Qing people have a place to support them?"

The prince was curious about the hundred thousand reasons, like a sudden enlightenment, hit Wang Xi's heart. The unpassable road in front of him suddenly became clear, but Wang Xi still wanted to struggle: "You can't increase the burden on the people anymore, and if this method is implemented, it may not be convincing."

Fortunately, Yinreng had Xiaomei. Although he racked his brains and had a direction when his thinking was divergent, he asked Wang Xi again: "Maybe we can start with the most convenient management 'scholars', and implement the people who work for the country, such as officials, Imperial College, etc., to increase the credibility of government orders, and the court will make the decisions voluntarily, so that farmers, workers, and merchants can pay voluntarily, and not force them. Maybe in the long run, we can subtly achieve the goal of having a good old age?"

"If this method can be implemented, the burden on the treasury does not seem to be as heavy as imagined, because it is to use the people's money to support the people. Only in the medical field, the state needs to invest money and train doctors. But I heard that local officials have also taken the initiative to build medical clinics to benefit the people. If these are led by the court, they may develop into a huge and powerful event that benefits the country and the people?"

Wang Xi was stunned, and his heart was thrilled by Yinreng's imagination.

"Mr. Wang, if this matter can be done, can it make the people trust the Qing Dynasty more? It also makes them more stable? With the guarantee, if you can make a reputation, will the people who receive benefits be grateful? If there are old and young men in their family who come to join the army, can they help them again?"

Without Kangxi blocking Yinreng's little mouth, the divergent little thinking attacked Wang Xi in a series of attacks. Every time a question was mentioned, the old minister also followed his thinking.

Wang Xi: Is it feasible?

The charter was of the same size and how to improve it inadequately. Yinreng didn't say anything, and he thought about it tens of thousands of whys, and his fingers trembled slightly when he said Wang Xi.

"Your Highness, this matter..." may be done, and it will be of great benefit.

Before Wang Xi could say this, Yinreng said to Wang Xi guiltily: "I asked too many questions, and Lord Wang didn't have time to answer, because I was too ignorant."

"No, Your Highness asked me what I had never thought about," Wang Xi said solemnly: "I think this matter is feasible, but it needs to be discussed for a long time and drafted repeatedly."

Yinreng blinked and wanted to speak, "Mr. Wang, I just have this doubt and don't really want to continue to promote it."

"No! Your Highness has been thinking far-reachingly. If you promote this matter, it will be a major event that benefits the country and the people. I believe that this matter should be reported to the emperor!" Wang Xi said excitedly.
To be continued...
