Chapter 352 It’s done

Emperor Hongzhi had no prior knowledge of the matter and Xia Yuan did not get along with him about the matter.

If this is really done, the difficulty of implementing the plan will be increased by several levels, which will add endless resistance in vain.

Even he, the emperor, felt that this matter was too radical and risky. If implemented in this way, the new policy would probably end in failure.

But before he had time to give up this somewhat unrealistic idea, Xia Yuan proposed a pilot implementation.

Similarly, the pilot method was not mentioned to him in advance, but using prefectures and counties as a pilot first made him swallow back what he wanted to say.

The so-called pilot project was not something Xia Yuan thought of at the last minute. Managing a big country is like cooking a small dish. Everything must be done slowly. You won't become fat after one bite, and you will only choke and become paralyzed.

"Choose one prefecture or county to promote the concept of allotment per acre first. It is relatively easy to promote it in one prefecture or one county. You can also see the effect of this new policy first. If it is successful, then it can be extended to one province, or even to the whole country.

In the world, what do Mr. Liu Ge think?"

Liu Jian was not in a hurry to answer. Thinking about it from the perspective of the imperial court, this was indeed the least influential and least disruptive way, and at the same time, it was also the safest way.

Find a prefecture or county and try it. If it doesn't work, the boat can be turned around easily and it won't cause turmoil in the world. If it succeeds, then successful public opinion will have been created. There will be a successful example there, and then it can be expanded and promoted.

, then there will be endless confidence.

Now that Xia Yuan had left the decision-making power to him, Liu Jian had to express his stance. For this reason, he could not say anything against it, but he could never express his stance easily on such a matter.

He was not from a noble family. He was from an ordinary family. During the years he had been an official, his family only owned tens of thousands of acres of land. Judging from his rank and official position, it was not too much, and he was not afraid of being investigated.

But he knew in his heart that there were many people in this dynasty with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of acres of land, not to mention those vassal kings.

Once you take a stand, it will be tantamount to offending a large number of people.

He is old, over seventy, and it is rare in ancient times for people to live seventy years. He is definitely considered to have a long life at this age. In a few years, he will have to beg for his body, resign and return to his hometown.

The more he gets to this time, the more cautious he must be and the less likely he is to offend others. He still wants to spend his old age in peace and wants to receive a good posthumous title after his death.

Not to mention Wen Zheng, at least there must be Wen Jing and Wen Xiang.

Liu Jian lived a very transparent life. What do people want to live for? To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than fame and fortune. However, profit will not be taken with him in life and death. It is not as good as a name, a good reputation, and a name that will leave history.

"It is a matter of great importance to the country, and we must be cautious. As a minister, you must do what is good for the country and the people, and you must be loyal to the emperor and the country in your duties."

Liu Jian gave an ambiguous answer, as slippery as a sperm eel, and naturally brought the topic to loyalty to the emperor and the country, and then said naturally: "Your Majesty, I think this matter should be treated with caution, but

Your Majesty’s will is the will of the world.”

After saying this, Xia Yuan smacked his lips and said, "Learn, there is no end to learning."

The old man who has become a master must speak his words to the point. He will not say anything clearly and do not act decisively. Everything will be handed over to His Majesty's Holy Judgment. Your Majesty agreed. At this juncture, all he can do is shout long live the mountain and shout out the Holy Ming.

On the surface, I protected His Majesty's dignity, but secretly I maintained my own dignity.

He is not implicated, does not offend anyone, and has achieved political achievements. After all, he is the first minister to ask for the Holy Will.

Once something is done, he can make a note of it no matter what.

If you don't say it clearly, you have a reason to shirk responsibility even if you fail.

Gee, there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at him deeply, and after a moment he slowly said: "I think this method is feasible, so I will implement it in one state and one county first. What do you think?"

After a brief silence, Liu Jian immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I will obey the imperial edict!"

The rest of the officials, regardless of whether they were willing or not, all kowtowed at this time, "Your Majesty is wise, and I will obey the imperial edict!"

After this matter was passed, the next step was to discuss which prefectures and counties should be used as the pilot sites. This matter was decided in a few moments, and it was settled on Changping Prefecture. Changping Prefecture is a hundred miles away from the capital, which is not far away.

But it's not close, and it's most conducive to implementation.

As for who should supervise this matter.

Xia Yuan already had a candidate in mind, a very suitable candidate.

"Your Majesty, I have a candidate to recommend. I have a student named Wang Shouren. I recommend him to supervise the promotion of small households in Changping Prefecture."

Hearing the words Wang Shouren, many senior officials had an impression. Li Dongyang was the Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi's reign. That year, Li Dongyang was the examiner of the examination. They had a deep impression of this person, but their impression was different.

It's really not that good.

He is obviously a young man in his twenties, but he gives the impression that he is lifeless and lacks the vitality that a young man should have. Moreover, he has a dull face and does not look very smart.

At the time of the palace examination, Wang Shouren ranked seventh in the second class. Although his cheekbones were a bit high, his appearance was still upright and he was very young. His father was Wang Hua, the number one scholar.

With all the advantages gathered together, it stands to reason that if you choose Shujishi, he will have a place no matter what.

But the six ministers and nine ministers of the cabinet sat high in the hall, looked at his not very smart appearance, and after some conversation and questioning with him, they came to the conclusion that this man was not only a bit stupid, but also not normal, so after some discussion,

I brushed it off for him.

There is no way, the threshold of the Hanlin Academy is too high. It is the talent reserve of the cabinet. It really cannot tolerate such a stupid and abnormal person, so I can only be sorry for the prince.

Li Dongyang couldn't help but ask: "Is this person feasible?"

"Mr. Li Ge, although this student of Xiaguan is useless, he looks stupid and stupid, like a retard. But it is most appropriate for him to do it. Let me ask, if even a retard like him can successfully accomplish this task.

, why can’t other states and counties do it?”

Xia Yuan looked solemnly and said what he said seemed to be true. How should I put it? Wang Shouren was powerful, fierce and a ruthless person.

But at this moment, he didn't accomplish anything, he didn't have any achievements at all, and his appearance was extremely deceptive. Just by looking at his expression, he felt like a fool.

But the princes in the court did not judge people purely by their appearance. When they got to know Wang Shouren's character in depth, they would find that this guy was even more abnormal.

After hearing these words, all the Gong Gong princes in the court were speechless. It turned out that this was what they had in mind.

It is simply embarrassing to ask a person who is not very smart to do an extremely difficult task, but if it is done, it will definitely set an example for states and counties all over the world.

But the problem is, such a person most likely won’t be able to do it, right?

Thinking of this, many people began to tell this person in their hearts that they had to let such a person go. It would not be the best thing to do.

So they all looked at the emperor of Fengtian Sect, hoping that his majesty would nod in agreement.

Although Emperor Hongzhi felt that this candidate was a bit off, he didn't know what words to use to describe it. He was mentally retarded and not very effective. He felt like he was speaking sarcastically, but looking at the appearance of the ministers in the court, it didn't seem like it.

It was really confusing to ask such a person to implement the New Deal, but after hesitating for a moment, he still chose to trust his son-in-law and said, "Then I will follow the recommendation of the Xia Qing family and ask Wang Shouren to supervise this matter."

After deciding on the candidate, everyone present fell down and praised him. Xia Yuan felt relieved that it was done.

The others also flashed these two words, that's it.

PS: I'll be able to relax a little faster starting tomorrow. I haven't slept well these days. I'll have a good night's rest today and resume the third update tomorrow.
