How many people did Lu Yijian have in the court? No one knows the answer, and it is probably difficult for Lu Yijian to explain it clearly. But it is certain that, not to mention the local area, there are people from Lu Yijian in the key positions of each yamen in the court. Needless to say, the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, there are others from the Academy of the Scholars, to the Censorate, and the Censors' Court, and the Censors' Court. Lu Yijian can directly control it. It is the Three Divisions. In addition to Wang Weizheng, Chen Zhizhong and the other two deputy envoys also have a close relationship with Lu Yijian.

Lu Yijian was a powerful minister, not a treacherous minister. He had the desire to pursue power to control the government, but he did not have the ambition of Ding Wei to control the world. His small group was relatively loose. The first party to form a Jinshi in the imperial examination was in the Taiping Xingguo period. It was unconcealed and ambitious. Hu Dan's small group even conspired every night, leaving the idiom "midnight three updates" for later generations. After that, the political group became much looser. Everyone colluded for political power or pure promotion and wealth, and did not even have a unified political demand. It was not surprising that there were people with completely opposite political positions in the same small group. The typical one was Lu Yijian's group.

In history, it was not until after Fan Zhongyan that as soon as Ouyang Xiu's "On the Fraternity" was released, officials were divided into two camps of gentlemen and villains, and their political demands were united with the formation of gangs, and the party struggles suddenly became fierce.

Xu Ping had a thousand years of experience and could still grasp this. Therefore, he always adopted a respectful attitude towards Lu Yijian, neither taking the initiative to come up or deliberately provoking disputes with him. Anyway, as long as it does not affect the interests of most people in his small group, they will not take the initiative to attack others.

This time, Lu Yijian directly provoked a political dispute against Jingxi Road, which was quite unexpected to Xu Ping. He felt that his actions had always been very cautious, and he did not touch the interests of senior officials in the court, and tried to start a new job. Due to the large age gap, Lu Yijian and Xu Ping were not of the same generation at all, and they would not be bored to suppress him.

The times are different from before. Now, the imperial examination and Jinshi are in charge, and Lu Yijian does not have the method of competing for wealth for a hundred years for his descendants. In fact, his family education has always been very strict. Except for the eldest son Lu Gongchuo who is busy with secular affairs and has poor knowledge, his sons are all knowledgeable and have an unlimited future. When it comes to education for his descendants, no one of them can compare to Lu Yijian. The Lu family in history is a real scholar.

When Xu Ping thought that when he could threaten Lu Yijian's status, he was already old and the two had no direct conflict of interest. At this time, Lu Yijian was trying to target him?

Xu Ping asked a few more questions, but Yang Gao was not very clear about the affairs of the court. He only knew that the new money house policy had become a thorn in the eyes of some people, and he must get rid of it quickly. Although he had not decided on a candidate, he probably would still send ministers to Jingxi Road.

After seeing Yang Gao off, Xu Ping sat alone in the small flower hall for a long time. After thinking about it over and over again, he finally confirmed that except for those branch officials involved in the Tong Dalang case, no people were harmed. As for Mengzhou and Xiangzhou without the new policy, Li Di and Zhang Qi were out of date, and they were incompetent in the dynasty, and they had a disagreement with Lu Yijian during the dynasty, it should have nothing to do with this matter.

Then there is only one answer. The new policy he implemented on Jingxi Road stimulated Lu Yijian. In fact, if the court really affirmed the new policy on Jingxi Road, then the officials of Jingxi Road with outstanding political achievements would be promoted, thus breaking the personnel balance within the court. In this situation, Lu Yijian's careful layout in the past or two years would be greatly impacted.

After leaving the small flower hall, Xu Ping returned to his chief hall and called Zhong Shiheng over.

After the ceremony, Xu Ping said to Zhong Shiheng: "It's almost the end of the year. Have you paid all the money and grain applications from each prefecture and county?"

Zhong Shiheng was not clear about it, but just replied respectfully: "Most of the return to Ducao have arrived, and only a few states in the southern part of this road are left."

"Issuing a document to urge them to send it as soon as possible and not to wait until the end of the year! Also, since last year, Zheng Gouyuan of the Third Division has sent people to help officials in the Xijing City Education Transport Department learn to check accounts. How are they now?"

"Because the dog son also learned about this matter, the officials knew a little. If the people who did not have an official body learned it, they would have a job that would not be worried about for a lifetime because of their origins. They learned very well. It was precisely because of these people that the accounts of the companies and banks in Xijing and surrounding prefectures and counties could be clearly clear, and there was no major chaos. However, the officials in the Transport Office and the officials in various prefectures and counties learned it as a result. Although they took a lot of effort, most of them still couldn't do it."

Seeing Xu Ping silent after hearing this, Zhong Shiheng said again: "Ducao, there is a saying that officials do not know whether they should speak or not."

"If you have something to say, you have been by my side for more than a year, so what are the taboos?"

"The officials thought that the officials who followed the learning process were distracted by the original errands in the yamen, and the other was learning well and bad, and they did not have much impact on them, so they were naturally lazy. If Ducao really wanted officials to learn this ability, they would still have to learn from the people. After learning the exam, what would happen after passing the exam? But what would happen?"

Xu Ping shook his head and whispered: "Things can't be done, too much is too much."

The common people followed the study and would issue a book certificate after the exam. In fact, Xu Ping's accounting in his previous life plus the professional qualification certificates of several related majors. However, in his previous life, these practitioners served economic entities and were given to them, which was essentially opposite to official supervision. And the jobs that Xu Ping has trained now are given by the official compulsory economic entities, serving official supervision and being consistent with the official interests.

Different eras have different measures to control the economy. No matter what the official approach is taken in this era, no one will object to it that it interferes with the operation of the economy and limits the freedom of businessmen.

Xu Ping's approach is much gentler than the previous guild's direct legal allocation and buying measures. He wanted to limit the relatively limited funds in this era to the cycle of the commodity economy through this relatively strict control. If he lets go, the marginal benefits of the commodity economy will be rapidly reduced when the commodity economy develops, and capital will be drawn out from the chain of the commodity economy and flow into industries with higher returns. Whether it is lending or buying houses and land to speculate on high prices, the temporary income is much higher than honestly working in an industry. Doing so will make it possible to cut off the chain of commodity economy production and return to the old path.

For ordinary people who have obtained this qualification, they have an iron rice bowl that has no worries about food and clothing, and their enthusiasm for learning is naturally higher. For officials at all levels who follow the study, their abilities have improved and their political achievements have been promoted. This kind of thing is illusory for most people, and naturally it is much more negative.

As for what Zhong Shiheng said about certifying officials and giving priority to those with certificates, it sounds reasonable, but in fact it doesn't work. It is a good thing to allow officials to have the ability to manage economically, but if it is further changed to allow only people with economic management capabilities to become officials, then things will turn into bad things. This is a matter of principle.

The economy is just one aspect of the country and society, not everything. It is not that the economy develops, everything is fine. If you only pursue good data and get rich people to the fields and poor people to the point of no place to stand, Xu Ping would dig a hole for himself.

This is the reason why the managers of the government are divided into officials and officials. Those who only specialize in one thing often lack the overall view. If you play with it within the scope of your own proficiency, you will often drag down the overall situation.

Not to mention this kind of audit statistics ability, even when the main direction of the imperial examination and the examination of morality and talent was changed to the examination of the classics, the selected officials degenerated a lot. It sounds like selecting talents according to their ability, but in fact, the real ability is not found in one exam. Whether it is the imperial examination or other methods, the original purpose of choosing an official is to select intellectual qualifications and moral qualifications. The most important thing is to break the world's official position and let the official team flow.

Ability is originally cultivated in work and evaluated in work. Where can we get it out as soon as possible? The original meaning of being a high-level scholar is not to be a great scholar, but to be a poor family. Let officials be mobility.

However, this kind of thing is not urgent for a while. What is really effective is to rely on the indicators of performance appraisal to guide it and adjust it at any time according to actual conditions. When the economy is not good, it emphasizes the economy, when education is not good, it emphasizes education, and when social fairness is not good, it emphasizes fairness. As long as you are really willing to select talents, you will never be short of them.

Zhong Shiheng's status is limited, so he didn't understand why Xu Ping said that, so he had to stand there quietly.

Xu Ping said: "In the next days, you will arrange for the officials of the Transportation Commission to count the money and grain of Jingxi Road this year. If those officials are not good at learning, they will always know how to fill in various forms. If they can't even fill out the forms, they have to get rid of the list and stop it. It is not easy to drive them home. The yamen will still have to sweep the horses and feed them to do what they can do."

Zhong Shiheng promised that there were not many people in the Transport Office, so I don’t know which ones would be unlucky this time.

Xu Ping said again: "You should hurry up and do this, the more detailed you do it, the better. Don't wait until the end of the year, it's best to complete it within this month. The court may have to send people down. It will not look good at that time until someone comes!"
