Zhao Bing has been married for two years, but he has not been with them for a long time. Zhang Ping and Lei Yan, as ordinary concubines, have less time to accompany the emperor. So even though they are physically close, they are still very unfamiliar in spirit.

But today's performance made Zhao Bing look at him with admiration. They are not only talented, but also extremely talented in acting and understanding. They may also understand that the emperor's cultural level is not high, so they use vivid and easy-to-understand language to clearly explain the social welfare system created by Emperor Huizong, which also allows Zhao Bing to understand the "painful efforts" of this ancestor very well.

To be honest, the three major institutions of Anjifang, Luozeyuan and Jukaiyuan were created by Huizong and Cai Jing. The two of them spent a lot of financial resources and energy around these three institutions. But unfortunately, these institutions did not bring much real benefits to the people, but instead became the targets of criticism of those with knowledgeable friends between the two Song dynasties. Why is this?

Zhao Bing thought that the purpose of doing things was ultimately impure. Their starting point was not to benefit the people, but to gain the reputation of a "benevolent king". Then he could not start from the basic point of "for the benefit of the people", and he tried to "beautiful" in his work, so he only got a fancy comment that was frivolous and wasteful, and wasted money.

First of all, from the perspective of system design, Huizong and Cai Jing did not follow the right path. This assessment system that is only responsible for the upward and not responsible to the lower level finally brings a ridiculous result. In order to cope with the assessment, local governments also take the opportunity to make money and turn normal welfare relief into a luxurious meal. They not only put a curtain on the decoration of the house (generally only wealthy families can afford it), but also hire wet nurses and maids for the relief, which makes the poor happy (very enjoyable) and the rich very annoyed (need to pay).

During the implementation, Huizong also realized the mistakes and ordered corrections.

"I heard that local prefectures and counties have been implemented too much. Some places even set up banquets and banquets when helping the poor. They are not allowed to do this again in the future."

"What the relevant departments did in previous years was really outrageous. They actually reached the point where they bought mosquito nets for the rescued people and provided wine and meat. The money was spent uncontrollably, which encouraged the laziness of strong young people. They were idle all day long, eating and drinking for free, and the local government ignored them. It was really too much."

"There are officials who do not understand the laws of the late emperor and do improper practice. For example, they use clothes and quilts, and hire wet nurses and envoys, all of which are too rich, and they are almost unable to support them. The poor people in the world still have enough food and warm clothes, and the military personnel do not keep their food or flee to all directions. This is not the way to govern."

He found that some prefectures and counties deliberately controlled Anjifang. The number of people rescued by Luozeyuan was used to fill in the form and fill in the form to meet the assessment. He immediately issued an edict to "staff one hundred" of these people. At the same time, he also found that the Luzeyuan in some prefectures and counties chose to bury the bodies shallowly to save manpower, which caused them to be exposed soon, and ordered the standard of burying at least three feet deep, and ordered institutions at all levels to strictly review it.

Compared with the emperor's orders that are not painful and itchy, local officials care more about the emperor's feelings and their careers, and are more willing to give a good-looking "report". Under such guidance, local officials will naturally rack their brains to compete for the position, and it is not surprising that they will cause some ridiculous things.

In addition, Huizong and Cai Jing also tried to implement "numerical management" for nursing homes, Anjiyuan and Luzeyuan. For example, every doctor in Anjifang will have a "hand calendar", which records the number of recovery and deaths of patients treated by the doctor. During the end of the year, the cure rate and mortality rate in the "hand calendar" are used as the basis, and those who fail the qualifications will be punished.

The problem is: this kind of "hand record assessment" that takes for granted is not in line with medical common sense - some patients can heal themselves, while some diseases cannot be cured no matter how hard the doctor works. So after it was implemented, no doctor was willing to go to Anjifang. This is because the assessment of doctors does not conform to medical common sense. One is that many doctors are afraid of data statistics and have no confidence in whether they can achieve the recovery rate stipulated by the court.

All the prefectures and counties all came together to get a group of sickly people, pretended to go to Anjiyuan for treatment, and then pretended to "recover" to complete the cure ratio in "number management". The direct result was that not only did the doctors not have the will to save the world, officials and doctors colluded with each other, and unknown people impersonated good doctors and received salaries. At the same time, there were also evil officials involved in drug purchases, which greatly reduced the implementation effect of Anjifang.

Zhao Bing also figured out that the reason why social welfare in the Song Dynasty was so popular was that Huizong forgot his original intention of benefiting the people. He was blindly confident in the implementation, resulting in unreasonable system design, and many loopholes in implementation. In addition, the implementation of various channels, due to political changes, administrative agencies being complex and speculative, the role of welfare institutions such as Anjifang has not been well played.

Because of the lessons of Huizong, when Zhao Bing tried to recover, the court officials were worried that he was also afraid that he was also trying to "get fame", for fear that he would act in a mess by his predecessors, not only wasting a lot of manpower and material resources, but also not getting the results he wanted to achieve. Therefore, everyone followed verbally but was not active in fact, so that he could dispel the idea of ​​restoring the "evil politics"...

"The official family, although the snow disaster seems to be very serious, it is actually not a big deal. Don't worry too much!" Zhang Ping saw that the emperor had eaten three bowls of wontons unknowingly, and handed him a meat pie.

"Oh, why do you say this? Isn't it a big deal for thousands of people to be affected by disaster?" Zhao Bing took the meat pie and asked in confusion.

"In the past, disasters have caused refugees to rise and hunger all over the ground. In fact, most of the disasters occur in remote areas. Because individual households have little food to accumulate, they will quickly consume all the food once they catch up with the disaster. The food in the fields is in owed production and even lost harvests, so they have to move to areas with milder disasters. The refugees not only cause social unrest, but also quickly consume the local food, forming a larger area of ​​famine." Zhang Pingyan said.

"Well, there are some truths. Only when the imperial court quickly allocates food and supplies to the disaster area can the people flee and famine, and it will not form a wave of refugees and affect the surrounding prefectures!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"After learning that the disaster occurred, the court quickly dispatched food to provide disaster relief. This was a correct solution, but it was not all right." Zhang Ping nodded and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Bing asked again. He had already asked them for advice without realizing it, but he was just unconsciously.

"The official family imagines that if the disaster occurs thousands of miles away, after the disaster, the local government will report the situation to the court. Even if it is rushed, it will take several days. The court will verify the situation after it is learned, and the officials will report it to the government after it is determined." Zhang Ping said, "Even if the official family issues an order to provide disaster relief immediately, the Ministry of Revenue will take time to raise food and then transport it to the disaster area. During this exchange, it often has half a month passed, and it will take time to wait for the food to be delivered to the disaster area. At this time, the disaster has often spread and a small disaster will become a major disaster. Once the local area is not in good condition, it will lead to civil chaos."

"My sister Defei is right. This snow disaster occurred in the capital area. The court can promptly inform that the capital was stocking a large amount of food, and the imperial edict could be provided for relief in a moment. The people's hearts will soon be settled, there will be no wave of refugees, and the capital will not be affected. The government does not have to worry too much." Lei Yan said.

"Well, I dare to comfort you after hearing what you said!" Zhao Bing smiled, and then said with a little gratitude, "This snow disaster occurred in the capital, but if it was a remote area, wouldn't it be a human disaster?"

He knew that Zhang Ping was right. Nowadays, communication methods are backward, transportation is underdeveloped, and information transmission is slow. Especially in remote areas, once large-scale disasters are encountered, the government cannot obtain information in time and provide timely relief, which can easily turn into disasters. In addition, the rich and poor in various places are uneven, and the warehouses and reserves are abundant and simple. Opening warehouses and grains also requires the approval of the court. It also takes time to transport money and goods. Small disasters between exchanges become major disasters, and one place becomes multiple places.

"Official family, is it still useful?" Zhang Ping asked when he saw that the dinner was left with some soup.

"I'm full, but you haven't eaten much!" Zhao Bing looked at the leftovers in front of him. He let most of the food be eaten by himself. Instead, the two of them didn't eat a few bites and said with a smile.

"Haha, we are just watching the official family eat, but our stomachs are still empty?" Lei Yan said with a smile.

"We are also happy to see the official family eat, so don't care!" Zhang Ping nudged him.

"Wang De, I ordered the kitchen to cook some food. Concubine De and Concubine Xian were not full!" Zhao Bing looked back at Wang Dedao.

"There is no need to trouble the official family, we will go back!" Zhang Ping waved his hand.

"It's snowing outside and the road is slippery. You will stay in the pavilion tonight and just let someone pass the message back!" Zhao Bing said.

"This..." The two of them looked at each other, with joy in their eyes, but they were a little hesitant.

"The official family has been in good health these days and needs someone to take care of us. We are careless and careless. It is better to be meticulous than the two empresses, so let's stay!" How could Wang De not know everyone's thoughts and smiled beside him.

"Okay, then I'll bother the high-ranking officials and send someone to inform them and ask them to send some clothes!" Lei Yan replied.

Then Wang De ordered people to go to the kitchen to pass the message, and arranged for people to go to the residences of the two empresses to pass the message, pick up things, and then asked people to clean up the table. Seeing that the emperor was still thinking about what had happened just now, Zhang Ping smiled and said, "The official family, in fact, there was a strategy for disaster relief, that is, to rebuild the charity warehouse so that he could save himself in time and wait for the court to provide relief!"

"Rebuild the charity warehouse!?" Zhao Bing was stunned when he heard this, and repeated the sentence softly, and suddenly realized in his heart, as if this was indeed a road...
