My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Chapter 339 Good things for you to see

  After Zhang Anshi finished drawing, he began to teach the official and other officials how to fill in the form.

  These people looked at it very seriously, and when they looked closely, they all showed shock.

  This thing...really...compared with the money and food book, it is really different.

  Especially a clerk like him who has been dealing with money and food for a long time knows the benefits of this thing.

   Not only is it easier to calculate, but most importantly...it's more intuitive.

  Intuition is the most important thing, and this official knows it very well.

  Because not everyone is an old official who is good at money and grain, he can hold a book and flip through it to know the situation of money and grain well.

  In fact, the officials he served knew almost nothing about it.

   This requires patient explanation by yourself, and the other party can only barely get a general idea when they are in the fog.

   But now...with this...

   It is clear at a glance.

   It’s okay to be clear at a glance, but you can directly compare the numbers of last year, the year before, and even other provinces, and this...

  The official seemed to be enlightened in an instant.

  For a person like him, this thing is nothing more than a boatman making a living on the water. Suddenly, the shotgun changes and the steamboat starts.

At the moment, he became excited, and Zhang Anshi began to make other tables, and patiently told him: "The most important thing is the ruler. For example, there is this kind of table called a columnar table. Look, draw it like this. And this ..."

   Zhang Anshi became more and more detailed in his explanations. There was no way. Now that the management stall is getting bigger, the administrative efficiency has become the biggest problem.

   It is impossible for Zhang Anshi and other officials to spend a lot of time continuing to look through various money and grain books.

   But now, it is enough for a layman to instantly understand the current situation of various money and food in the mansion.

"This thing can be used not only in money and food, but also in other places, such as the number of schools in various prefectures and counties, the situation of students enrolled, and... In short, as long as it involves numbers, you can use these few things. A list method. Come on, draw one and let me see."

"Yes Yes."

  Eager to try, the official took a long ruler, imitated the example, and began to draw seriously.

  Zhang Anshi smiled slightly, of course... The administrative efficiency improved by this thing is amazing, because it not only makes the various numbers clear and intuitive.

  The most terrifying thing is that it is an explosive involution tool.

  What is the so-called efficiency? Efficiency is KPI, or key performance indicator.

  Before the New Deal, the achievements of local officials mainly came from the so-called official voice, and the official voice was a very illusory thing. And... almost all of this official voice is in the hands of the country sages and gentry.

  They can effectively organize to give you the Wanmin Umbrella, and the word-of-mouth they spread can be spread.

  But after the New Deal, it is clear that official voices are no longer reliable.

  At first, Zhang Anshi ruled the Taiping Mansion. Because the place was small, almost all the officials were under his nose, and he had an intuitive and clear understanding of who was willing to use his life and who was shrewd.

   It’s just that as Zhang Anshi governs more and more places, and there are more and more officials under him, the expansion of the organization and the increase in personnel, it is no longer possible for Zhang Anshi to know all the officials.

   At this time, this performance appraisal has become a crucial thing.

  Turn all the issues that affect local governance into certain factors of various performances, and finally use the money, the number of enrollments, business taxes, and local property output as the standard. Between prefectures and counties, even compare your performance this year with last year's performance as an important basis for your merit test.

  Then... Zhang Anshi, the right governor, can sit back and relax.

  Of course...the most important thing is...Zhang Anshi also intends to spread this method widely.

  Isn’t North Korea going to set up a left governor? Then press the head of the left governor, and let people post this stuff every day to disgust you.

  What kind of **** official voice, in front of the real data, in fact, there is nothing to hide.

"Yes, it looks good. This method needs to be promoted. In my opinion, don't be in a hurry to take up the post. I plan to hold a watchmaking class for civil servants in Qixia, and let the civil servants in each county choose three people." If you want to learn, some of you should come to be lecturers. This thing is simple, you can learn it for three to five days, and then... require all prefectures and counties to promote it."

   As he said that, Zhang Anshi turned his head, looked at Gao Xiang and said, "Gao Fu Yin, you set an example... From now on, everything will be tabulated, and everything will start from Taiping Mansion. Taiping Mansion will set up a statistics department here."

  Gao Xiang stood aside early, watching carefully. He is proficient in money and food affairs, so he can naturally know the subtleties at a glance.

  So Gao Xiang said: "Don't worry, the governor, this matter... the officials will arrange the layout, and the Taiping Mansion must be ahead of the other mansions."

Zhang Anshi said again: "Also, go to the household department later...forget it, get all the data from all the prefectures, and make them into tables. You have to work hard, get it out for me before noon tomorrow, and after noon, I will go Holy face."

  After giving instructions, Zhang An Shian slept peacefully all night, and did not get up until the sun was rising.

   And the officials and some civil servants were already exhausted and paralyzed.

  They stayed up all night and finally got a notebook.

  Because he slept very well last night, Zhang Anshi is in good spirits today.

  At this time, I took the book and opened it, but there were various numbers.

  His eyes lit up a little, and he praised: "Very good! Take a good rest for two days, thank you for your hard work."

   Immediately, Zhang Anshi entered the palace to have an audience.

  Zhu Di had known that Zhang Anshi would enter the palace today to thank him, but at this time, Zhu Di was standing on the window sill with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly, and stopped talking.

  Zhang Anshi came in, saluted and said: "Mr. Thank you, Your Majesty..."

   "There is no need to be too polite." Zhu Di said calmly: "How is it? Is the matter arranged properly?"

"what…"

   "I want to ask you, how is your arrangement as the right governor?" Zhu Di said: "Governing several mansions is different from managing one mansion."

   "The minister...has...arranged, nothing will happen."

  Zhu Di suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Anshi.

   Zhang Anshi realized that Zhu Di's face...was very ugly.

  He was startled, today is not the time to come! If he had known that His Majesty was in a bad mood today, he shouldn't have come at this time.

  Zhu Di smiled reluctantly. After sitting down, he looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Hey, you, you... look at you, will I eat you?"

  Zhang Anshi shook his head, then said, "Is there anything on your mind?"

  Zhu Di said: "I don't have anything on my mind, it's just..."

  He looked at Zhang Anshi suddenly: "You are the commander of the Jinyiwei, and you know it. Don't you know what happened outside?"

"Ah..." Zhang Anshi said: "From yesterday to now, since I was entrusted with the title, I have been busy all the time...I didn't sleep all night last night with the affairs of the various houses. When I got up today, I rushed to thank you. newspaper, but I didn’t read it.”

  Zhu Di nodded, which was understandable. Immediately, he looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile: "Yesterday's court meeting...is really thrilling."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, dare to ask..."

  Zhu Di said: "The candidate for Zuo Dudu, who do you think someone recommended?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "This... I can't guess."

   "I can't think of it either, if they didn't play it, I really want to break my head, and I can't think of it..."

  Zhu Di put away his smile a long time ago, and even seemed to be suppressing his anger.

  His eyes flickered, sometimes cunning and suspicious like a fox, and at the same time like a hungry wolf, passing by many murderous opportunities.

  Seeing Zhu Di's reaction, Zhang Anshi couldn't help asking curiously: "Who is this person?"

  Zhu Di said lightly: "Zhu Chun!"

  As soon as these words came out, Zhang Anshi was stunned: "Which Zhu Chun?"

  Zhu Di said: "How many Zhu Chuns are there in the world?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "That toon, is it next to the wooden characters?"

  Zhu Di snorted from his nostrils.

  The royal family of the Ming Dynasty generally used rare characters, and even...may even create characters, and often used radicals such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to name them.

  This approach is to avoid colliding with others.

  After all, in ancient times, if ordinary people had the same name as the emperor, it was taboo, and the royal family's choice of uncommon characters solved this problem.

   Zhang Anshi asked next to the wooden word, which actually meant the same thing, because there is only one person named Zhu Chun in the world.

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help being surprised and said: "Your Majesty, this...is not in compliance with the rules."

   "It's really against the rules!" Zhu Di rested his finger on the copybook, and continued: "It can be seen...someone wants to jump the wall in a hurry, and wants to teach me to kill."

  Zhang Anshi immediately understood.

  Tingtui refers to ministers of the fourth rank or above, who all elect ministers to take up official positions. In the Ming Dynasty, there were more than two hundred such ministers.

  Zhu Chun is the prince of the feudal clan and Zhu Di's brother. The prince of the feudal clan will become a feudal clan when he becomes an adult, and he is not allowed to enter Beijing without the court's will.

  But who would have thought that at this moment, someone would suddenly propose Zhu Chun as the left governor.

  This... Saying that he wasn't making trouble is not justified.

  So Zhang Anshi asked again: "Your Majesty, who is... so bold?"

   Zhu Di said: "Li Shimian, Prime Minister of the Imperial College."

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

"how?"

  Zhang Anshi was speechless, because...if it was someone else, Zhang Anshi would still be amazed, how can someone be so bold, isn't he afraid that Jin Yiwei's knife is not sharp?

  But when Zhu Di mentioned this person, Zhang Anshi had an impression.

  Because this gentleman... can be said to be the biggest leverage in the early Ming Dynasty. In history, this person's record is very fruitful.

In Zhu Di's later years, after Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, the three main halls were struck by lightning. Li Shimian, based on Dong Zhongshu's theory of "the unity of man and nature", aimed at Zhu Di's successive years of expeditions to the North, voyages to the West, and the construction of the city of Beijing. Move, impeach Zhu Di.

   Zhu Di was so angry that his blood pressure soared in his later years, and he almost died of anger.

  Of course, although Zhu Di was not **** to death, Zhang Anshi's brother-in-law Zhu Gaochi was almost **** off by Li Shimian.

  After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, because of poor health, Li Shimian wrote a letter to impeach Zhu Gaochi, saying: "I heard that it is not appropriate to be close to concubines during funerals, and it is not appropriate for princes to be around..."

  This memorial, on the surface, is to persuade Zhu Gaochi not to be close to women, but in fact it is to scold Zhu Gaochi for being close to women.

  So Zhu Gaochi was furious, and reprimanded Li Shimian in the Golden Palace, but Li Shimian refuted sentence by sentence on the spot.

  Compared with the bragging of scholars who were born as Jinshi, Zhu Gaochi was obviously no match, and Zhu Gaochi was so angry that he almost fainted.

   Soon after, Zhu Gaochi passed away.

  At that time, people said that Li Shimian was mad at Zhu Gaochi to death. When Zhu Gaochi was dying, he still couldn't forget Li Shimian, holding Xia Yuanji's hand and repeating: "Shi Mian insulted me too much!"

   It's a pity that Zhang Anshi's brother-in-law is still an honest man after all, and he hated Li Shimian until he was dying, but in the end he didn't give the order to kill Li Shimian.

  Such a person... Zhang Anshi was not surprised when he proposed anything during Tingtui.

  So Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I want to know... when the court pushed... how many people seconded Li Shimian?"

  Zhu Di said with a sullen face: "Six out of ten."

  Zhang Anshi already understood in his heart that any ancestral method is fart.

  Don't look at the civil servants holding this one by one to restrain the emperor on weekdays, but once they want to solve the problem, they immediately use it as toilet paper.

  Who doesn’t know, it’s a big taboo for the prince to govern Gyeonggi!

  But obviously...someone who does this is forced to rush.

  The actions of His Majesty and the Crown Prince have brought some people to their end.

  Since this is the case, one of the assassins proposed Zhu Chun as the candidate, and the others followed suit.

  This is not only to prevent the emperor and the crown prince from coming to power, but also to express his dissatisfaction with the New Deal.

  But Zhu Di fell into a very dangerous situation because of the booing and nonsense of these people.

  Zhu Di started from Jing Nan, and he got what he is today in order to protect the interests of his clan and brothers.

   Now everyone is saying that Zhu Di's brother Zhu Chun is wise, and he can be the left governor.

  If Zhu Di was furious because of this, there would inevitably be rumors of the brothers in the palace fighting against the wall again.

   What's more, the matter of serving as the governor at the moment has been made into a joke by these people.

   This is obviously deliberately making things difficult for Zhu Di, and also deliberately turning Zhu Di's implementation of the New Deal into a laughing stock.

  Of course, a group of people were so bold as to sacrifice Zhu Chun, which was more like a provocation to Zhu Di. Doesn't it show that among the clansmen, Zhu Chun is the most virtuous, so... who is not virtuous?

  As for the Shu king Zhu Chun, he was once called Shu scholar by Emperor Taizu Gao when he was Emperor Taizu Gao.

  People say that he is filial, friendly and kind by nature, has a comprehensive knowledge of classics, has a good tolerance, is good at reading, is close to Confucian scholars, and can write articles.

  After he arrived in Sichuan and became a vassal, he made great efforts to educate and educate the people of Shu.

  Although Zhu Di killed Fang Xiaoru afterwards, he was full of praise for his brother, telling people everywhere, "My brother is kind and filial in nature, smart and knowledgeable, well-known, and well-known in the military and civilians." '

  In the past, the ministers were patient with Zhu Di, but now, they obviously couldn't bear it anymore, especially when Zhu Di implemented the New Deal, there was a tense situation in the court.

   At this moment, Li Shimian directly jumped out to recommend Zhu Chun, but it suddenly became the fuse of the conflict.

  Seeing Zhu Di's murderous aura, Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty calm down, I think... this is the story of the Northern and Southern List case when all the officials wanted to imitate Emperor Taizu Gao."

   The Ming Dynasty did not have challenges to the imperial power. When Emperor Taizu Gao was there, he did not know how many times he challenged it.

  But there are so many brave people.

  Although they killed batches after batches at the beginning, they still continued to follow.

   Now that Zhu Di's implementation of the New Deal is so vain, he doesn't even hit the White Lotus Sect as a fig leaf.

  Hundreds of officials gathered together and directly counterattacked, Zhang Anshi didn't find it strange.

  Many people have the impression of a scholar as a weak scholar, but in fact, this is just a created image.

   If their fundamental interests are touched, not to mention that they are just fighting against the imperial power, even if they kill a **** river, they will not blink their eyes.

  Zhu Di was obviously very angry. At this time, his eyes were like sharp swords, and he sneered: "This person Li Shimian...download the driving sticker immediately, and I will punish his three clans."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Li Shimian is no more than a mere supervisor of the Imperial Academy, even if he is killed, what's the use?"

  Zhu Di took a deep look at him and said, "Then what does Zhang Qing think?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Killing is worse than killing one's heart. If he kills such a person directly, he thinks that he is doing the right thing, that he sacrificed his life for righteousness, and is admired by all generations. This has made his reputation , the minister thought that... it is not as good as..."

  Zhu Di has already said urgently: "How to punish one's heart?"

  Zhang Anshi thought about it seriously: "This actually depends on Your Majesty."

   "Huh?" Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and raised his eyebrows.

  Zhang Anshi then said: "Your Majesty...the one recommended by the court is Zhu Chun, the King of Shu. Your Majesty thinks, why do they push His Highness the King of Shu so hard?"

  Zhu Di immediately said: "Naturally, I want to use this to humiliate me and to praise the wiseness of the king of Shu. Don't they often use such methods of using the past to satirize the present and the king of Shu to ridicule me?"

   In the words, it is difficult to hide the boredom!

  Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "I think... more than that... They are forcing His Majesty to use the King of Shu."

  After Zhu Di heard this, his eyes widened slightly, as if he had been awakened all of a sudden.

Zhang Anshi continued: "Although the King of Shu is a clan relative, he regards himself as a scholar-bureaucrat, advocates enlightenment, and has a good reputation. Among the clan, many vassal kings have moved overseas one after another. Only a few people headed by the King of Shu are Refuse to move."

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu...to some extent, he is like a mirror opposite to His Majesty, so...the scholars all over the world respect him very much. His great education in the middle of Shu is also in line with the appetite of the scholars. Besides...my minister I thought they wanted to use His Royal Highness the King of Shu to control the ministers."

  There was something flickering in Zhu Di's eyes, and the pupils were erratic. At this time, he was walking slowly with his hands behind his back: "Heh..."

  Although His Majesty must not be happy to hear these words, Zhang Anshi still thinks it is better for His Majesty to understand.

So Zhang Anshi said again: "The problem now is, how does His Majesty plan to solve it? If he is furious, then the people of the world will say that His Majesty will not tolerate his brothers, and will slaughter ministers if they disagree with each other. But what about another angle? If Your Majesty They summoned the King of Shu to the capital, and they took advantage of His Highness the power of the King of Shu to contain the Taiping Mansion. So no matter what His Majesty chooses, what they do is essentially for the New Deal."

  Zhu Di nodded, and said angrily: "I can't say that I don't love them very much! Allow them high officials and rich salary, and let them protect their descendants. But they stop the New Deal everywhere because of their own selfishness. It's really hateful to act so boldly."

  Zhang Anshi lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and then said: "Then why not... His Majesty invites His Highness the King of Shu to Beijing, so what?"

   "What?" Zhu Di opened his eyes suddenly, and said angrily, "Isn't this fulfilling their wish?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "I think, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, since he is really wise, then... he can distinguish right from wrong, good from bad."

  Zhu Di obviously disagreed with this, with a deeply tangled look on his face, he frowned and said, "My brother...you don't understand."

  Who says I don’t understand?

  Zhang Anshi thought to himself, looking at the King of Shu, basically, Zhang Anshi can conclude that he is a good man.

   It can be said that the New Deal did not harm his interests, so whether the New Deal is good or bad... At least for the King of Shu, his attitude should be fair.

  Even if they are influenced by scholars, don't these scholars... also pay attention to worrying about the world's worries first, and enjoying the world's joys afterward?

So Zhang Anshi persuaded Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, people's ideas can be changed. Didn't many of the ministers' subordinates also change? And Your Majesty, did Your Majesty really support the New Deal without hesitation? Isn't it also because... this method is effective, and for the sake of the country, isn't this why you support it?"

  Zhang Anshi continued calmly and calmly: "His Royal Highness King Shu's entry to Beijing... is really the best thing. His Majesty can just have a good talk about brotherhood with him. I will leave other matters to the minister."

Zhu Di glanced at him, pondered for a long time, finally concealed the murderous aura on his body, and finally made a decision, saying: "Then I will listen to you, but... you must be clear... once he is allowed to enter the capital, there will be troubles. , then I..."

  Zhu Di didn't continue talking, but the meaning was already clear.

  For him, this involves a matter of face, and he, an emperor who was born in Jingnan, still has to face.

  Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have a good thing here for your Majesty."

  The topic turned a bit suddenly, Zhu Di let out a long breath, his face finally relaxed a little, and said: "What is it, bring me to see."

  So Zhang Anshi stretched out his hand, and took out the memorabilia he had prepared from his sleeve.

  The **** who was waiting on the side quickly sent the memorial to Zhu Di.

  Zhu Di took a closer look, and the memorabilia unfolded layer by layer, and then... icons appeared in front of him one by one.

"This…"

  Zhu Di actually understood it this time.

  Because it is too intuitive.

  He was in a bad mood, and his whole body was a bit gloomy.

   But when he looked down carefully, his gloomy eyes suddenly brightened.

  His frowning brows finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but surprise and said: "The commercial tax of Taiping Mansion has increased several times?"

  Zhang Anshi said in a full-fledged manner: "Exactly, it's thirty times that of Ying Tianfu."

  Zhu Di took a deep breath and exclaimed: "I saw it, it's unbelievable, it's so much money..."

  ………

  I feel a little uncomfortable today, and the second episode will be a little later. You don’t have to wait, go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow to watch.
