Chapter 107 Helplessness and Mud
After thinking for a while, Xu Ping asked Liu Han and Zheng Jian: "A few days ago, have you heard of the things I encountered in Heyin County 14? There is something to learn from when dealing with it there."
Zheng Jian said: "I heard a little. However, the officials don't think there is anything to learn from!"
Xu Ping looked at Zheng Jian and thought to himself that this young man is too straightforward. No wonder he was in his forties and was only in his forties that he became the judging of the Salt and Iron Department. In the second year of Tiansheng, Zheng Jian was the third place in the first class of Jinshi. Look at the brothers of Song Qi and Song Xiang of the same class, and look at Ye Qingchen, who is not better than him? Even Han Qi, the latter class, was almost caught up with him. Even his brother-in-law Fan Zhongyan, who is known for his integrity and courage, is better than him.
Zheng Jian means that no matter what Xu Ping did in Heyin County, the court is sending people to investigate now, so don’t mention it before there is no result. Who knows if Fan Zhongyan and Sima Chi come back will charge Xu Ping’an.
This is a choking in front of the boss. Where has the experience of becoming an official for more than ten years gone?
Seeing Xu Ping's face was not good, Liu Heng hurriedly said, "The deputy envoy meant to learn from Heyin County and let the craftsmen in the field manage these small shops themselves? I'm afraid it's not that easy."
"Does things always try step by step? If you continue to do it carefully, there will always be good results. People's associations have been recorded since the Zhou Dynasty. The origin of the country is very early, and the so-called country is the foundation of the country. However, at that time, the society was run by the court and the people participated, which was for the commune. When the Han Dynasty entered the Han Dynasty, the times changed, and most of the communes were not in decline, and private communities emerged. Today, only the legacy of the two communities in the Spring and Autumn Period was left. The public and private communities that helped each other back then were rare to see them."
Scholars require a general history to know the past and present, and it is useful to talk about the truth. No wonder the Chinese like to reform the ancients when they say reform. It is really because of the knowledge of ancient times and almost anything can be put in. Xu Ping opened a cooperative in Heyin County. When he had free time, he studied the changes in the ancient and modern society, which was really eye-opening.
When the Zhou Dynasty founded a country, it occupied a large territory, but not many people in the country, and implemented a feudal system. The state and the state were the core areas, while the commune system was implemented in rural areas. Of course, the society at that time was not empty, but was part of the country's sacrifices, and there were places for sacrifices. The people who entered the society helped each other and opened up the wilderness were an important part of the 800th anniversary of the two weeks.
By the Han Dynasty, the room for development of the Central Plains was already very small, and local areas turned into internal struggles, and the political system also changed tremendously. Communes disappeared and private communities emerged. Then there were local tyrants, prominent families, and clans gradually replaced public-private forms of society, and until the Sui and Tang Dynasties. From this perspective, the history of the development of society is the history of rural development in China.
When the Song Dynasty entered the Song Dynasty, the powerful and powerful families were wiped out again, and the romantic family was always blown away by the rain and wind. The clans based on the clan society had also disappeared, and rural management actually entered a vacuum period. At this time, various private communities developed like mushrooms after a rain. People who farmed were various names such as Niu Society, Horse Society, Qu Society, etc., and scholars' classes, book society, and economic society. In contrast, the name of the cooperative Xu Pingding was a bit inconsistent. In fact, before he left, the locals themselves had changed it to Niu Society, Tian Society and Kiln Society.
The reason why later generations had the term society was because in ancient China, in addition to government organizations, the life of the people was closely related to society. A person's life was inevitable to deal with society.
In the past, Xu Ping was still a little nervous when he used the knowledge of the cooperative in his previous life to this era, worried that others would not understand and that he would not adapt to the environment. Now that he has learned this knowledge, looking back, he can almost find a shadow in Chinese history. After all, is it still a reform through ancient times?
How many people can really get a new one? Xu Ping didn't play the reform of the ancients in his previous life. The reform was different. What's the difference in his bones? It was just that at that time he believed in foreigners than he believed in ancients.
Zheng Jian didn't have the patience to listen to these things. What he had to know was very simple, but the people on the list could not do it. After working under Xu Ping for nearly a year, it was rare that Xu Ping was the boss that Zheng Jian could see. If Xu Ping said that he would suppress the matter, Zheng Jian would do it, but he would just adjust his impression of Xu Ping in his heart.
Seeing Zheng Jian’s face was dark and silent, Liu Ying said, “What the deputy envoy mean is to change those small shops to join the club?”
"Yes, only by doing so, everything is in the hands of the craftsmen themselves, can the powerful and powerful be relieved of their hands."
After hearing Xu Ping's words, Liu Heng saw Zheng Jian on the side without saying a word, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Since this is the case, we will talk about the regulations, and the three of us will go back and consider it."
"I said a few basic items. If you go back and add the other items, please list the regulations and take them to me. The first is that those who join the club are willing to do so, and those who come will not refuse, and those who go will not chase after them. The second is that these small shops do not aim for profit, but only see if they can make a living by craftsmen. The third is that the selling price of the items in these shops refers to the normal selling price of the outside shops. People who enter the club can buy things from here. Fourth, check out monthly or quarterly, of course, annually, it can also be paid.
Therefore, the profits should be distributed according to the amount of money spent by people joining the club to buy items in these stores. This is especially important to note that the cost of the shop should be distributed according to the principle that the more people buy, the more people buy, the less people buy. Others such as the cost of the company and the number of people paid as the basis for allocating profits. Only in this way can these small shops be really convenient for local craftsmen. Finally, the government will exempt these small shops from tax calculations and supervise them."
After hearing this, Zheng Jian could no longer help but ask, "Deputy Envoy, how should these powerful people who had previously reached out to deal with it?"
Xu Ping looked at Zheng Jian and smiled: "Tianxiu, remember, you are in charge of the Gouyuan. If you arrest these people, it is your thing to do if you should do. But arresting prisoners and sentence them to the sentences is not what you should do. When you three out the regulations I just mentioned, report this list and the regulations together, and explain the matter clearly. As for how the court deals with these people, it is not what we should do. We just need to cut off the hands that came to the Sansi."
Zheng Jian was silent. Xu Ping said something reasonable. He had his own responsibilities and should not speak out. But after thinking about it, he felt unwilling to give up. This was equivalent to working hard to do something but not getting the credit. In Zheng Jian's eyes, the credit was still a trivial matter. It was an indescribable charm to him that arrested people and punished the powerful.
Guo Zi didn't say a word from beginning to end. The cases he was in charge did not involve these. Moreover, his identity was also far from Liu Han and Zheng Jian. The Jinshi was different from the Jinshi. One was waiting for the palace examination, and the other was whether there were any capable people in the court to support him. Guo Zi did not have both, so he lacked the spirit of Liu Han and Zheng Jian.
Xu Ping had no choice but to do anything. Sansi did not dare to extend their hands out. If even Sansi arrested the person involved in the case of Sansi, they would encounter great rebound. Now more than 60% of the affairs in the court are in Sansi. If you care about things that should not be managed, Xu Ping first gave people the impression of being greedy for power and domineering.
How the people on the list handle it is a small matter, and how to establish a system to prevent things from happening is a big matter. Sending the list to the government affairs hall is a great possibility that big things will turn into small things, and Xu Ping will naturally know. But in this way, the priests will not talk much when the three departments establish the system, which is also a kind of exchange.
The more you do things and the more you participate, the deeper you will understand. After talking to Liu Han and Zheng Jian, Xu Ping suddenly remembered that these small shops in his previous life were actually consumer cooperatives, and they were fought for themselves with blood and rolling heads when facing the survival crisis. In history, he helped countless poor people to survive.
Without the bloody fact, perhaps many people do not know the value of these policies, and even those who have received favors will not remember Xu Ping's kindness. But so what? It is impossible for them to get anything done in everything. The so-called warriors have no great achievements. Perhaps this is the reason.
Among these three subordinates, Liu Heng is good at using tricks and likes to be stolen. Zheng Jian is jealous of evil, but lacks a view of the overall situation. Guo Zi is obsessed with technology and often makes mistakes in doing things. Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses, but they are all rare talents.
It is rare to have talents, and truly perfect characters are even more rare. The key is how to use them. Using their strengths and trying to prevent their weaknesses is what one should do, and it is also necessary to do, as a boss.
Liu Han, Zheng Jian and Guo Zi came to Xu Ping to deal with the powerful and illegal and profit-making, but in the end, they became a small shop. There was a certain gap in their hearts. Especially Zheng Jian, who was obviously unhappy.
Xu Ping smiled and said, "It's rare that you three of you came to our mansion together last time. This season was the season when the watermelon that Deputy Envoy Li brought back from the Khitan last year. It was just a matter of taste. I just said this. Don't mention it anymore. It's my intention to taste the fruits and vegetables in our mansion."
After saying that, the servants put the fruits and melons on them. In addition to watermelons, there are also some early-ripe peach and apricots. Although the taste is a bit green, it is rare that it is fresh in the season.
After hearing Li Zhang's words, Xu Ping had already thought that except for those who had to give gifts with watermelons, such as the palace, the Eight Kings' houses, and the Queen Mothers, such as the Yang Jingzong family and Li Yonghe's houses, they would not give gifts to other families. When they were free, they asked officials from the court to come to their homes to have a melon-tasting party, which also saved them from comparing.
And other people, of course, can taste it at their own home, so they start with their three subordinates.
(Note: The person who comes is not rejected, nor does he pursue the person who goes away. This is the principle of the "Lüshi Township Agreement" during the reign of Emperor Shenzong. In fact, the "Lüshi Township Agreement" at that time had a certain meaning of rural communes. Looking closely, most of the principles of consumer cooperatives that emerged in Europe later had, but consumer cooperatives were linked to interests, while rural agreements focused on customs and education. The "Lüshi Township Agreement" was the source of rural gentry's governance in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it only lasted for a few years and made a lot of changes in the practice process. Although there were still similar rural agreements in the Song Dynasty, they only appeared sporadically.
, and it was basically impossible to persist, so there was no such thing as a gentry in the Song Dynasty. It was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty that Wang Yangming implemented the "Gannan Township Agreement" in Jiangxi as a governor. After the regime intervened and dominated, the gentry dominated the countryside in the middle and late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. This is explained by the fact that many readers remember that ancient Chinese villages were the world of gentry and landlords. In fact, this situation was not mainstream in history. After the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the gentry became the local emperors in the countryside, which was already modern and modern history and did not belong to the category of ancient history.)
