Sima Guang carried a few volumes of documents, and trotted all the way to the trial court, entered the hall, put the documents on the table, and gasped, "Oh! You're not late."
"Why is Bachelor Sima out of breath?"
Qi Hui, who had just entered the hall, was curious when he saw Sima Guang who was panting with one hand propped on the table.
Sima Guang waved his hand and sat down, "Don't mention it, I'm really unlucky today. I stepped on feces when I went out, so I had to go back and change my shoes. I wasted a lot of time and almost got late."
He has a very strict self-discipline character, and it is unacceptable for him to be late and leave early.
Qi Hui was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "To tell the truth, Bachelor Sima, I almost stepped on feces today."
Sima Guang was taken aback, "Really?"
Qi Hui nodded, and said with emotion: "I don't know what the subdistrict secretary is doing, there is feces everywhere, how can people walk."
But soon, they knew that this was not a coincidence, but that there was too much feces, and many ministers stepped on it, or almost stepped on it.
This affects the affairs of the officials, no matter how small this matter is, it is not a trivial matter!
"Dung" quickly became the number one hot spot in the imperial city today.
Really "stinks".
The ministers complained frantically to the Infantry Division and the Horse Military Division, because the military patrol shops in the capital were under the control of these two military departments.
This is the capital, how decent the streets are like this!
"It's unreasonable! These literati really don't feel pain in their backs when they stand and talk. If they don't travel in a horse-drawn carriage, how can they have so much feces? Now they blame our military generals."
Cao Ping returned home cursing.
Today's meeting did not criticize him well, especially the tone of those civil servants, which made him very angry.
It seems that they, generals, should deal with those feces.
After that, it becomes discrimination.
The key point is that Zhao Xu also handed over this task to him.
But he didn't make Cao Ping angry enough.
The old man suddenly reminded: "Master, you just went to the inspection department not long ago."
Cao Ping was taken aback, "You mean this has something to do with Dong'er?"
The old man said again: "As far as the villain knows, the young master has been with Zhang San for the past few days."
Cao Ping pondered for a while, "Go and find Dong'er."
After Cao Dongdong came back, Cao Ping immediately asked, "Donger, how are you doing in the inspection department?"
Cao Dongdong hehe said: "It's very good, my child likes this job very much."
"is it?"
Cao Ping asked again: "Then do you know that there has been a lot of feces on the streets recently?"
Cao Dongdong nodded and said: "If you go back to your father, the child knows what's going on."
Cao Ping hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Cao Dongdong immediately said: "Someone wants to take Zhang San."
"The whole three?"
Cao Ping frowned, "How do you say that?"
Cao Dongdong said: "When the boy took office on the first day, Gu Shaoqing once came to make things difficult for Zhang San, intentionally throwing some excrement nearby, and asked Zhang San to clean it up."
Cao Ping snorted, "Is there such a thing?"
Cao Dongdong immediately said: "It's absolutely true, if Dad doesn't believe it, he can send someone to investigate."
Cao Ping frowned and thought for a while, then said, "How can you let Daddy take care of such a trivial matter? Daddy entrusts this matter to you. Are you sure you can solve it?"
A gleam of joy flashed in Cao Dongdong's eyes, "Daddy trusts the baby so much, the baby will never let Daddy down."
Cao commented: "That's good! I will leave this matter to you. Don't lose face to our Cao family."
"Yes!"
Cao Dongdong said: "I'll do it now, baby."
After Cao Dongdong left, the old man next to Cao Ping said: "Master, this matter..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cao commented: "It must be the fault of that brat and Zhang San."
The old man said curiously: "Since the master knows, why do you still pay?"
Cao commented: "This disaster was caused by them, so of course they have to solve it."
Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and then said: "By the way, help me vent my anger, you bastard, you really treat us generals as easy to bully."
He is now vaguely aware of why the emperor entrusted him with this matter.
After leaving home, Cao Dongdong immediately rushed to the inspection department in the left wing.
"It's done! It's done!"
Cao Dongdong excitedly ran into the house, and said to Zhang Fei, Ma Xiaoyi, and Fu Shichun, "My father has given me full authority over this matter, this time we can show our strength."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Then let's play a big game and add some oil and water to our three yamen."
Ma Xiaoyi eagerly said to Fu Shichun: "Brother Xiaochun, hurry up and finish writing the regulations, so we can send them out."
Fu Shichun said depressedly: "It turns out that you came to me for this job."
Ma Xiaoyi giggled, "Writing is not our strong point."
Cao Dongdong said: "We agreed in advance that our carriage will take four or eight."
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "It's not up to the yamen."
Two days later.
"Huh? Why are there so many people there?"
"Go. Let's go and have a look."
"Hey! What are you looking at?"
"Traffic regulations."
"What traffic regulations?"
"It's just posted by the military inspection shop. It seems to be to rectify the cleanliness of this street. From now on, all horse carts, donkey carts, and ox carts must have license plates."
"What is this license plate?"
"See for yourself."
"Huh? What's that word?"
"Look carefully, those symbols correspond to one, two, three, four, five."
Fan Lou.
I saw a group of dudes gathered in front of the door, their mouths full of greetings.
"It's unreasonable! This is the idea of some birdman. The carriage and horses have to have a license plate, and they have to pay twice a year. Why don't they grab it?"
"This horse-drawn manure requires a cleaning fee, which makes sense. The most hateful thing is that this sedan chair also needs to have a license plate, and there is a dignity fee charged. It's simply lawless!"
"The imperial court asked them to clean up the streets, but they were lucky enough to find a way to make money. We wouldn't get this license even if we were killed."
During this day, the streets, large and small, were covered with notices of military patrol shops.
The core content is the car and horse license plate.
Whether it is a horse or a car, even a sedan chair, they must have a license plate, otherwise, they will not be allowed to go on the street, and if they are caught, they will be fined heavily.
However, once licensed, there is an annual street cleaning fee.
But such as the public carriages and ox carts, they only need to pay five hundred Wen a year.
And those trucks that pull goods only need to pay [-] Wen per year.
The key is that for these private carriages, you have to pay two guans a year, but if your family has two, then congratulations, you have to pay ten guans a year.
Even the sedan chair has to be licensed and paid for, and it has to be paid four times a year.
In this way, all fools know that this is aimed at those dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and gentry.
People are not qualified to go out in a carriage.
The ministers quit immediately.
Good guy!
Let us pay?
Who the hell gave you the courage?
We don't even have to pay taxes, so let us pay the cleaning fee?
Are these three ya crazy?
Of course, some ministers applauded it.
For example, Wang Anshi.
"Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Wang Anshi took the notice and praised him again and again, "Zhang San is such a talented guy. He even wanted to get a cow and horse account, so as to increase the financial resources of the inspection department."
This move really suits his appetite.
It is exactly the same as his idea of reform, to collect money from the rich to enrich the country.
Talent!
What a talent!
Lu Huiqing whispered: "The students think this is a good thing for us. Let's see how those high-ranking officials will respond. When the new law is promulgated, we will have a bottom line in our hearts."
Wang Anshi smiled and nodded: "It's just as I thought, this is a good show."
Just at this time, a civil official came to the door, "Report to Bachelor Wang, and the government sent someone to ask Bachelor Wang to go to the Chuigong Hall to discuss matters immediately."
Wang Anshi said hehe, "It's going to the official's house so soon."
When Wang Anshi arrived at the Chui Gong Hall, there was already a lot of noise inside.
Entering the door quietly, I saw Gu Ji spitting out there.
"Your Majesty, let alone those license plates that disrupt people's livelihood, where does the key inspection department get the power to legislate? They are committing a crime of overstepping the rules."
Zhao Xu couldn't help looking at Cao Ping who was on the side.
Cao Ping immediately said: "The number of horse-drawn carriages in this city is increasing day by day, which not only often causes traffic jams, but also keeps increasing the excrement, but the funds allocated by the imperial court to the military inspection shop have not changed. Since you all feel that the excrement has increased, why not reduce the number of horse-drawn carriages? Or pay the cleaning fee."
Yushi Li Zhan immediately said: "Are you doing this to clean up the streets? You are clearly taking the opportunity to make money. Since you think that there are too many horse-drawn carriages that lead to more excrement, why do you have to pay for the sedan chair?"
Before Cao Ping could open his mouth, Wang Anshi, who had just entered, immediately came out to show his presence, "Since ancient times, princes have never dared to replace animals with humans. This sedan chair is inhumane. It is reasonable to charge dignity fees. I I think it’s too little.”
Sima Guang nodded and said: "Scholar Wang is right. This sedan chair is used as a human animal, which violates the laws of nature, and it is difficult to reflect our dynasty's benevolent government thought. Unless you have a handicapped person, you should not take the sedan chair lightly."
Lu Gongzhu, Wen Yanbo, Xu Zhongtu and others also stood up to support the dignity fee.
It turns out that in the Tang Dynasty, this sedan chair was generally only used by princes and nobles for travel, and officials could not easily take it. The sedan chair reflects a person's dignity, but now this sedan chair has become popular.
But because it is just beginning to become popular, there are a large number of scholar-bureaucrats who despise this thing very much.
Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and the others also often took a carriage, but never a sedan chair, because they all felt that it was too humiliating, and pulling people was something that animals do, how could they let people do it?
Of course, they didn't consider the feelings of cattle and horses.
Seeing so many people objecting, Li Zhan immediately said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the Inspection Department doesn't have this power."
Cao Ping immediately said: "Your Majesty entrusted this matter to me, why don't I have the power."
If you really want to talk about the matter, he really doesn't have this power. It involves laws and regulations, so he directly blamed Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu was slippery, and he pretended to be suspicious: "But I."
Cao Ping immediately said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this strategy is my son's idea, and the reason why I agree with it is because he is also thinking about city defense, which is my job."
"For the sake of city defense?" Zhao Xu hurriedly asked, "How do you say that?"
Cao commented: "Giving license plates for horses and horses is easy to manage in normal times, but in case of war, horses can be recruited immediately for military use and to protect the capital."
When the ministers heard this, they almost vomited blood. The emotional payment is not enough, and we have to raise horses for the country?
Why don't you go grab it!
Zhao Xu immediately said: "This strategy is very clever, and the important place of the capital country cannot be lost."
Isn't this talking about money?
How to talk about defending the capital.
This is too wild.
Wang Anshi immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also believe that this strategy will pay off in one fell swoop."
Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others showed doubts on their faces, but they didn't say anything.
