Yan Jun came out of Hangzhou City in the first half of the night with the prefecture slip issued by Gao Hanwen. After leaving the city, he went straight to the residence of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province. However, after traveling more than 100 kilometers, by the middle of the night, this fifty-year-old body couldn't bear it any longer.
We had no choice but to tell Cheng Xueyan to go ahead alone. Yan Jun and another student had to rest in a nearby village. Fortunately, Yan Jun was relatively well-known in this area, and with the guarantee of a teacher from the clan school, it was easy for him to eat and drink for free.
It was more difficult for Cheng Xueyan. He stayed up all night with one person and two horses. He ate some dry food in the morning and exchanged horses to continue. Finally, he arrived at the governor's camp at nightfall the next day. He really did what a Marshallese person did. Without resting, his buttocks were constantly bruised with bloody marks.
This matter is commonplace when it comes to sergeants. The eight-hundred-mile express is even worse than this, but at least Cheng Xueyan is a Confucian scholar. It can be considered a risk.
When they arrived outside the camp, Cheng Xueyan fell down after showing his military badge.
The sergeant at the camp moved him into a small, free earthen house and laid out a mattress. After a pause, when he opened his eyes, Hu Zongxian had already come to visit in person.
"Mr. Yan, why is Xue Yan in such a hurry?" Hu Zongxian was quite curious. It's not that the war is tense now. In fact, all the work has been completed. If there is anything else, the Taizhou disciples have to risk their lives to deliver the news.
Cheng Xueyan couldn’t say it clearly in front of a bunch of people. Think about it, if these gangsters knew that the military merit awards were delayed, they would have to explode immediately.
Hu Zongxian also understood from Cheng Xueyan's polite words that the occasion might not be appropriate, so he ordered people to carry Cheng Xueyan on a stretcher to the governor's house.
As soon as he sat down in the carriage, Hu Zongxian stepped back. At this time, Cheng Xueyan was lying on a stretcher, and he wanted to struggle immediately to report. Hu Zongxian immediately knelt down and stopped him.
In this way, Cheng Xueyan lay down and finished talking about the method mentioned by his mentor Yan Jun and Hangzhou prefect Gao Hanwen about dividing the affected areas before the war and amortizing the military merit rewards in installments according to the tax increase after the war.
After hearing this, Hu Zongxian first smiled knowingly, then frowned a little. This is indeed a good method. Finally, there is an assessment method that can aim at winning the war instead of just cutting off people's heads. But this method may not please both ends. What if the post-war development is too good and the tax revenue increase is huge, but the court is unwilling to honor it? Of course, the more basic thing is how to persuade the sergeants to accept the amortized military merit reward in installments.
In this day and age, a bird in the hand is far better than many birds in the bush.
To ensure that the sergeants believe it, the post-war governance must be supervised by representatives of the awardee group of the previous army at least during the amortization period. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for civil servants to cash in on cards. In addition to retaining some civil servants who join the army and become officials as a check and balance, some sergeants with meritorious service at the lower level can also be incorporated into the government offices to serve as government officials, such as arresters, jailers, and the like.
After thinking about supervision, Hu Zongxian had to think about how to prevent the very real situation of the court refusing to honor rewards.Real question. Thinking about it, if the money was spent a few years ago, it would probably be a face-saving thing, so I would have tolerated it. If I spent more money later, I would probably not accept it as the personnel changed.
At this point, Hu Zongxian felt that the annual amortization was unreasonable. As the people's livelihood recovered, the more rewards the court gave, the more painful it became. The court must find it profitable.
So, he thought about it and adjusted his strategy, that is, to accelerate amortization according to the proportion of the remaining years to the total remaining years. For example, based on a 10-year period, the amortization of the next year is 10,110,102. In the future, the denominator remains unchanged and the numerator decreases by one year. Only in this way can amortization be balanced. Although the amortization ratio is high in the early period, the base of the tax increment is low. Although the amortization ratio is low in the later period, the base of the tax increment is high.
The sergeant received a relatively stable reward, and the court seemed to get an advantage. The most important thing is to be able to reverse the prevailing trend of beheading in the army, and finally be able to fight as a whole with the goal of victory.
Hu Zongxian discussed his ideas with Cheng Xueyan and modified some unsatisfactory wording. He immediately called for two generals, Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, to come over and ask questions. Whether this thing can take shape depends on the attitude of the frontline military attaches and sergeants.
Taking advantage of this gap, Hu Zongxian discovered that the Gao Hanwen he had seen before was panicked, but now he was so experienced and well-adjusted, and he had also mastered logic not long ago. You can benefit a lot from reading it yourself.
Hu Zongxian was able to see this thing thanks to Yan Song. As Jiajing promoted the new record of cleaning up injustice in the Jinyiwei system, Yan Song also promoted the new record of cleaning up injustice in the Ministry of Punishment. Not only that, Yan Song also personally sent a signed copy of the book to all of his disciples. As if he was afraid that his students would suffer a loss if they learned late. In fact, they are also afraid that the teacher-student relationship is not tied deep enough.
Since Hu Zongxian got this newly compiled record of the remission of wrongs, he has been reluctant to read it, and secondly, he has become more worried about his own future and that of Gao Hanwen.
Mr. Cheng Xueyan praised Gao Hanwen a few times for being a giant in Western and Western studies. Then he suddenly remembered that Gao Hanwen still had letters he wanted to deliver, and he quickly handed them over to Hu Zongxian.
Hu Zongxian squatted on the ground and his legs were numb. After receiving the letter, he stood up and sat on the chair.
Seeing this, Hu Zongxian almost gave up all his good impression of Gao Hanwen just now.
Being so shameless is like being a Confucian scholar.
Well, Gao Hanwen is now fighting against the Western learning, and he no longer bothers to follow the rules of Confucian scholars.
The key is that Gao Hanwen himself made the relationship between himself and Mr. Xiaoge very tense, but when he saw the crisis, he forced him to be a pawn.
My dear, the little fourth-grade governor actually wants to use himself, the second-grade governor of Zhejiang Province, as his spearman. I'm really not afraid that this gun will break my teeth.
Seeing that Hu Zongxian looked unkind, Cheng Xueyan asked carefully, "Mr.Lord Governor, what did Gao Zhifu say in his letter? Do you have any better suggestions?"
With this sentence, Hu Zongxian understood that Cheng Xueyan and even Yan Jun had never read this letter on the way. Okay. A gentleman can be deceived. As expected, the road becomes much easier if you don’t act like a gentleman.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that the content is too exaggerated, but it’s not a big deal. You'd better go to my wing to recuperate and have a good rest first." Hu Zongxian dismissed Cheng Xueyan with just one sentence. But he was pacing back and forth in the study with a letter.
A gentleman can be bullied, this Gentleman, do you want to do it yourself?
Qi Jiguang, who had arrived outside the house, first saw through the crack of the door that the governor was thinking about something, stopped smoothly, and waited quietly outside the door together with Yu Dayou.
