Chapter 198 Dengzhou Gathering Discussion
Dengzhou, ancient Nanyang County, was the Jiedushi of Wusheng Army and was located in the center of the Xiangyang Basin of Nanyang. Luoyang County in the north, Xiangyang County in the south, and Nanyang County in the central part, was the skeleton of Jingxi Road. Dengzhou is located at the junction of Wanluo Ancient Road and Wanxiang Ancient Road. It has a fertile land, a large population, and convenient transportation. It has been chosen as the imperial capital since ancient times.
The place for the conferencing is chosen here, considering that the north and south of Jingxi Road are blocked by mountains and inconvenient transportation, so it is decided to be a place that everyone can reach. This also shows Xu Ping's determination that all officials in each state will arrive this time. Either the magistrate or the magistrate, and each state must come with someone who can take charge of the affairs.
Zhao He was not in charge of business at ordinary times, but he was very busy at this time. Although this prefecture is the headquarters of the Criminal Department on West Jing Road, the collective discussion was proposed by the Transportation Commission, and it could only be handled by Dengzhou.
On April 11, Xu Ping arrived in Dengzhou and stayed in the inn in the city. Zhao He, in the name of Dengzhou, welcomed Xu Ping, including Jia Changling, the criminal prison on Jingxi Road, all went to the meeting.
On the 12th, the notices of each state came, including Yan Shu, who was on the West Road of Jingxi Road. Xu Ping was preparing and greeting everyone, greeting Yan Shu, and summoned the heads of each state who had never met before to understand their opinions on "Strategy for the Rich Country and the People".
On April 13, on the 13th day of the divine city, officials from the west of Jing Road gathered to formally discuss "Strategy for the Rich Country and the People".
The officials sang promises to Xu Ping and Yan Shu who were sitting in the upper head and sat down one after another. Xu Ping said to Yan Shu: "Bachelor, what is discussed today is nothing more than money and food, so what will be discussed by Jia Tijian Supervisor?"
Yan Shu was a little distracted, nodded and said casually: "It's so good!"
Li Zunxu was a military officer, and the appeasement envoy was also in charge of military affairs. He did not come today, so the local officials respected Xu Ping. He was the Constitutional Department of the Criminal Department, and he has always been under the Cao Department.
The supervision of Jia Changling had already been decided, and at this time, he asked Yan Shu that it was just a formality. He nodded, and Xu Ping loudly announced that today the supervision of Jia Ti's criminal investigation was to let him choose the person in charge.
Jia Changling left his position and bowed to everyone. He then chose several public officials in his own Criminal Department and Dengzhou Yamen, and at the same time asked Dengzhou Observation Envoy to be his deputy. Observation Envoy was a constitutional position. Although the actual duty had no longer anything to do with supervision at this time, he still tried to use ancient meanings as much as possible to show his solemnity.
In all the busyness, Jia Changling took the selected supervisors to sit opposite Xu Ping and Yan Shu, and arranged the paper and pen. The public officials first counted the officials who arrived today and recorded the names one by one. This is not a casual meeting, but a case must be kept archived and reported. You cannot be careless.
Finally, Jia Changling stood up and said loudly: "In Bingzi, in April of the summer, the officials of Jingxi Road gathered at Longxing Temple in Dengzhou according to the order of the Transportation Commissioner, and discussed the new policy last year and jointly wrote the "Plan for Prosperity and Safeguarding the People" by this route. The Jia Changchao of the Criminal Prison was recommended to the supervisor. The officials expressed their opinions on the matters discussed. Anyone who had any words available must be recorded in the book and listened to the heavens. When discussing the matters discussed, the matters discussed and listed in the matters discussed shall not be involved in other matters, nor shall they be involved in any unrelated persons, nor shall they speak nonsense, and the supervisor shall be corrected according to the rules!"
After saying that, Jia Changchao read out the things he had decided today one by one. After the officials Ying Nuo said that they could understand, they bowed to Xu Ping above: "Today, the main proposal is to transfer the envoy of the capital of Jingxi Road, Xu Ping, the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and Yan Neihan, the Bachelor's Academy, watched the ceremony!"
Xu Ping returned the gift and Jia Changchao announced the official start.
The collective discussion was chaired by Xu Ping, and he didn't need to talk about it himself. He just needed to grasp the trend and ensure that he was not biased. Yang Gao stood up, stood in front of a large board pulled out by the public official, and began to explain the content of the collective discussion in pieces.
According to the past practice, the relevant public officials often read these contents. If no one says they can’t hear clearly, they will start. This will make the officials who need to participate at least have the memory ability and will not forget the content to be discussed at once. Therefore, the more people, the simpler the topics discussed will be. Xu Ping listed the topics on the board according to his habits in his previous life and placed them there to prevent someone from even not knowing what to discuss. The biggest advantage of doing this is that the content of the discussion is richer, and the participants don’t have to be so nervous, and they can discuss it calmly.
The collective discussions in this era are much more serious than meetings in later generations. The supervisors not only have to record the contents, but also are responsible for the discipline of correcting the rules. Not to mention being absent-minded, even if they are sitting in a bad posture and dressing in a bad manner, they will be scolded, which shows that their attitude is not right.
Before the discussion came, Xu Ping had already discussed the content with the people around him countless times, and he was familiar with it. He didn't have to listen to what Yang Gao said, but just looked at the crowd sitting below and thought about his thoughts. Yan Shu next to him was also absent-minded. He actually foreseeable that the biggest significance of today's discussion was to confirm the support of the officials of Jingxi Road for Xu Ping through such a formal occasion. In this kind of crucial thing, it was probably not the same. Anyway, if the court had offended Xu Ping, the transfer officer, and could not find the officials below, he would naturally be happy to agree. Otherwise, Xu Ping's revenge might have come first, and it would be no trouble to deal with the governor as his identity.
After being an official for a long time, he practiced this kind of skill in appearance first. Xu Ping and Yan Shu both thought about each other, but on the surface they were both serious and serious. They sat upright and looked majestic, and could not see any appearance of running away from the spirit.
The initial topic was a review of last year's new policy. Yang Gao listed the money and grain data of each state and asked the chief officer to confirm it. After the completion, the pros and cons of the new policy began to be discussed, and the atmosphere became lively. Speaking at this time does not necessarily mean that he has any opinions or suggestions on the new policy. Most officials are trying to leave an impression on Xu Ping and Yan Shu above, and some are simply sitting up and moving.
At this point, the discipline is not as strict as it was at the beginning, and private discussions are within the scope of permission.
Yan Shu's brows became tighter and tighter. Finally, he couldn't help but whisper to Xu Ping beside him: "For such a big thing, why didn't you see Li Xiang in Mengzhou and Xiang Gong Chen in Zhengzhou come? Li Fuma and Zhang Taiwei are military officials, and it's unreasonable, why are they?"
Xu Ping said lightly: "Although Mr. Li didn't say he wanted to come, he didn't say he couldn't. Mr. Chen agreed to come. Mengzhou is the northernmost, Zhengzhou is the northwest, and the farthest to Dengzhou. The two husbands are old and come late is very common."
