Chapter 174

"Your Highness, the official immediately went to various counties and personally supervised them, and ordered the officials to recruit the full amount of civilians in front of the palace within three days to obey the orders. If there is any delay, the official will take off his black hat by himself.?                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

"The sincerity of the prefect Zhao is Wang Xiao, but relying on forced recruitment is always a solution to the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is not in line with the rules of the General Administration. We must come up with a long-term solution." Zhao Bing knew that Zhao and Luo's method was to rely on administrative orders to suppress one level, and in the end they would force one level. In the end, the unlucky one is the common people, whether you want to or not, they all tied up.

"Your Highness, the officials also know that this will inevitably cause resentment from heaven and man, but if not, those poor officials are willing to be attentive and the unruly people are willing to obey orders!" Zhao Yuluo sighed. Obviously, he also knew that the current solution could only be an emergency, but the situation had already formed and he was unable to change it.

"With that being said, why are we preparing for the troops?" Zhao Bing asked.

"Of course, it is to defend the territory for you, protect the territory and the people, and revive my Song Dynasty!" Zhao Yuluo replied immediately.

"This is not bad, but we finally make it easier for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. This disturbance of the people is contrary to our original intention." Zhao Bing chuckled, but he also felt that he was funny. His wishes were always full, but reality was the backbone. But this was also the dream he had pursued for a commoner.

"Your Highness's love for the people is admired by the officials, but the foolish people are short-sighted and do not know that your Highness is for their own good. It is really stupid to refuse to apply for the recruitment, but the current project cannot be delayed!" Zhao and Luogong bowed, but they were extremely disappointed. It is said that although the little prince is small and capable, it seems that this is not the case now. First, Yi Shan led his troops to leave, not only did not send troops to suppress them, but instead sent people to send money. Now the unlucky people are not willing to apply for the recruitment, but they are just threatening themselves. However, he acts as if he is compassionate to the heavens and people and refuses to use force. It seems that there is no hope for Qiongzhou to act like this.

"Your Highness, what Zhao prefect said is right. The people do not know the general, and they do not understand your highness's painstaking efforts. If you do not deal with it decisively, it will be even more difficult!" Pan Fang, as the head of the Transport Department, recruiting civilians and raising military funds was his responsibility. If his tasks were not completed, he would be punished. However, Your Highness was so careful that he could not accomplish it, so he also stood up and said to him.

"Hmph, deal with it decisively?! How to deal with it? Send troops to tie them up? I don't care about it, nor can I care about it, but Qiongzhou will never allow such a thing to happen!" Zhao Bing snorted coldly, "Have you ever thought that Qiongzhou is facing not only external troubles, but also internal troubles. Lidong is unstable, pirates are rampant, and the people are suffering from various regular taxes and donations. They are all angry. If they force themselves to serve, aren't you afraid that they will rise up? When the Tartars come, they tie you up and sacrifice you to the city and surrender?"

"In addition, although I have not been born in the countryside, I have experienced the sufferings of the people and seen the rampant evil officials, I have read several books. People will deceive others, but history will not deceive others. It contains: The so-called position of a town pavilion is extremely difficult, and corrupt officials are unreasonable and are extremely despised. I will be able to chase and call each other, and I will be able to break up the family and lose their fortunes. Since the superiors are despised, they scold them like slaves and treat them like prisoners. The subordinates are despised, so they are despised, so they may rely on the law to be traitors, or hide the thief to avoid the rules... etc., are they all nonsense in history?"

"Have you not done your duty to do your parents?" Zhao Bingyu shouted in anger, "Why are you doing this? You have ever thought about why this is the case? They obey orders in front of the yamen every day. If they don't find a salary position, they have to rely on other businesses to support their families. Even if they have a salary, they have very few people. How much energy does they have to do official duties? How can they be willing to serve with peace of mind? In addition, they are the vassals of the chief officials, and how many people are willing to listen to their words, often insult them, and they often use sticks to treat you as servants. How can they be willing to use their lives for you?"

"Of course, the deterioration of things is not caused by you. As the saying goes, it is difficult to get rid of the accumulated problems. But you also have the responsibility of supervision. Have you ever tried your best? Have you ever thought about governing?" After Zhao Bing said that, everyone bowed their heads and said, "And what the people seek is nothing more than to be able to have food and clothing and have a place to live. But now the taxation is like Mao, the evil officials are rampant and the labor is heavy. They have some complaints and resistance is normal. How can they be regarded as foolish people and unruly people!"

"Everything that Your Highness said is exactly what you say is right to the current problems, and the officials are ashamed!" When the officials saw Zhao Bing shouting and shouting, slamming the table and glaring, they were obviously really anxious. However, they also knew that what Your Highness said was the point. They admired him and said in secret that they were ashamed and saluted.

"The saint said: If you can correct mistakes, there is no great thing. Now that everyone knows the root cause, how can you correct them?" Zhao Bing said with a wiping sweat, and thought to himself that he would not give them any good deeds, really think that he was a child!

"Your Highness, my subordinates think that the current plan is to take advantage of the time when the officials are rectified, to eliminate illegal officials, severely punish evil officials to serve as a warning, and to recruit those with virtuous talents as a responsibility." Deng Guangjian gave his students a lot of face. When he saw His Highness asking for advice, he stood up and said.

"Well, what sir said is very true!" Zhao Bing nodded and praised.

"Your Highness, my subordinates think that they can be appointed to officials. The rural households are willing to be officials, and they want to use this to gain an official position and be promoted to an official household. Although the court has laws, there are very few people who actually teach them, so the recruited people are unwilling to do their best and do it perfunctorily!" Cai Wanyi also stepped forward to offer advice.

"This can be considered!" Zhao Bing thought about it, but it was not impossible. In ancient times, people wanted to become officials just to participate in the imperial examination, but that was a one-plank bridge that crossed a single-plank bridge. Even the Song Dynasty, which had the most scholars in the imperial examination, had a very small proportion based on its population base. If there were multiple ways out, it would inevitably increase its enthusiasm.

"Your Highness, the clerks are just not just having no salary to make up for their power and make up for their wealth. The subordinates think that the government can provide appropriate subsidies to make up for their labor and borrow them to support their integrity." Zhao Mengjin then spoke.

"Well, it's good to eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, and to use people's money to eliminate disasters, this is also good!" Zhao Bing nodded. Unless he has the financial strength or hobby, it will be difficult for anyone to do it for a long time. Just telling the horse to run away but not give it to the horse grass, no beast will do it after a long time.

"It is better for Your Highness to be dedicated to governing, but if many clerks are appointed as officials, it will also be harmful to redundant officials. Paying their salary will increase the burden on the prefectures and counties, and you are afraid that the victim will be the people in the end." Chen Zeweng hesitated and stood up and said.
