At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Ren Yong was very upset right away—You Sima Zhongda has always been known for his ability, and you wear a hat of an official, and now you come to me to pack straw bags?

So he speaks very rudely.

Anyway, I've rarely been polite.

"Sima Duhu has always been known for his ability and courage. The entire Annan Duhu Mansion knows that Sima Duhu is the head of capable officials. He handles government affairs without any mistakes and is orderly. I have always admired him. Why is he so timid at this time? Are you still chattering and fearing fools?"

It's very blunt to say this, comparing Sima Yi to a man who is afraid of a good-for-nothing is almost swearing.

No matter how well-bred Sima Yi was, he still felt a burning fire in his stomach.

If he didn't dare, he really wanted to punch Ren Yong in the face and make him arrogant!

Of course, dare not dare.

Sima Yi took a deep breath, smiled all over his face, bowed his waist and said with a chuckle: "What Mr. Ren said is out of the question, who knows who doesn't know, we local officials seem to be strong, but in fact they don't wear Shackles work?

The use of money depends on the face of your Ministry of Finance, and the face of the Ministry of Punishment depends on the employment of people. When you do something, you have to be tied up, and you have to write a report afterward. You guys are all wrong. "

Ren Yong listened to this kind of routine official speech too much, and it didn't make any sense at all.

He waved his hand.

"Sima Duhu, if you have something to say, Ren has a lot of things to do here."

Well, that's what you said.

Sima Yi smiled.

"Ren Langzhong said this, so I won't go around in circles. Ren Langzhong, the non-cooperative attitude of those merchants is already very obvious in this matter, and it is very unlikely that they will talk about it. Ministry's request, there is only one way."

"any solution?"

"The police force was dispatched to forcibly close these non-compliant shops."

"Then go out, this is not something you Sima Duhu said? What are you doing here? Will my order be useful?"

Ren Yong felt very annoyed.

Sima Yi spread his arms.

"Mr. Ren, you put it lightly. Is it doomed to have conflicts with those merchants and their people if I send the police force? If you push me and fight with each other, there will be a fight, or a group fight. When the time comes, you will be injured. If someone is killed, who is responsible?

It's not like you don't know that once I use the police force to enforce something, I have to write a report to the criminal department. After the criminal department reviews it, if they think there is something wrong with me, they will come to ask me what's going on. I think I'm serious. , more than once.

But in the current situation, if I make them shy away from doing anything, I'm afraid that the police force will be seriously injured by them!Things get worse and worse, and once they get out of hand, this responsibility becomes even more unbearable. "

Ren Yong took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.

He suddenly remembered that this year was the last year of Sima Yi's term as the guardian.

It turned out to be the case.

"Sima Duhu, you and I both know these things, just tell me, what do you want to say when you come to me, what do you want me to do, just say it."

When Ren Yong asked, Sima Yi said it straight.

"Ren Langzhong, I can dispatch the police force to handle this matter, but you have to be responsible for communicating with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If the police force is not stable, the attack is heavy, and a few people are injured, it cannot be regarded as my fault." The problem, this is a request from your Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Punishment..."

Sima Yi plans to see him poorly.

Ren Yong understood the meaning of Sima Yi's coming today.

Feelings come to find the blame man who took the blame with him.

This matter itself is related to Sima Yi's political achievements, and it must be inseparable from Sima Yi.

But this matter also involves the achievements of the Ministry of Finance, loans, and central government orders.

The central government instructed the Ministry of Finance and the local government to work together to solve this matter. If Sima Yi couldn't handle it well, the Ministry of Finance couldn't get away with it.

If the loss cannot be stopped in time, once the loss expands, none of them will have good fruit to eat.

Ren Yong knew that what Sima Yi meant was that he could do things well, but I couldn't bear the blame alone. Your Ministry of Finance also had a part in it. This blame is too dark and heavy, so we must bear it together.

This old boy is very treacherous and cunning, and he doesn't want to take any responsibility.

The more Ren Yong looked at Sima Yi, the more he disliked him, and the more he wanted to beat him up.

But there is no way, what he said is indeed reasonable.

Chapter 1549. What kind of bicycle do you need in one thousand four hundred and sixty nine?

In the current situation, the non-cooperation of the merchants in the government is already a fact. It is difficult to break the deadlock without using coercive force.

But once coercive force is used, even if weapons are not used, it is inevitable that someone will be injured. When the Ministry of Criminal Justice investigates it, Sima Yi's side is really not easy to explain.

Sima Yi was at the end of his tenure as the guardian, and he was about to be transferred and left. Whether he was promoted, demoted or transferred at the same level, this matter had a great impact.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has no financial responsibility. No matter how serious the economic crisis is in this matter, no matter how many shops close down, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice will still eat and drink as they please.

At that time, they might really be able to do things like adding insult to injury.

After the bad things that must be done are done, then go to blame the people who did the bad things. This is the source of their political achievements.

Sima Yi was dumbfounded.

Who is willing to do such a thing if you are charged with guilt after doing something?

These bastards are also extremely selfish and bad to the bone.

When things happen, they sit on the sidelines and watch from the sidelines, hiding in the official office and not leaving the door. When the crisis is over, they will wash themselves like white lotus flowers to uphold justice.

During every political storm during the Yande years, the Ministry of Punishment did this.

Under the leadership of Guo Yi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, they sat on the sidelines collectively, and when the matter was over, they came out to follow the emperor's order to "uphold justice" and reap a wave of benefits and political interests.

How many people hate the Ministry of Criminal Justice so much, but it's useless, who let the head of the family be a relative of the emperor.

Now it seems that the criminal style of the criminal department in the central government has obviously continued to the local areas. In this kind of thing, the thief will die. The typical upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

When it comes to that, Sima Yi really may not have a good fruit to eat, and Ren Yong obviously won't speak for Sima Yi.

Therefore, Ren Yong felt that it was meaningful for Sima Yi to maintain such a degree of vigilance and foresight in this matter, otherwise he would be paid for it when he was sold.

Naturally, an old fritter like Sima Yi who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years would not be a stunned young man.

So Ren Yong could only think carefully.

In this matter, he and Sima Yi are already grasshoppers on the same rope.

If things are not done well, Sima Yi neglects his duties, and he also neglects his duties. Sima Yi has no good fruit to eat, and he has no good fruit to eat.

So in this matter, he had to stand with Sima Yi and help each other in the same boat. If the two of them quarreled, it was guaranteed that there would be no good results together.

Thinking about it this way, Ren Yong felt that he had to join hands with Sima Yi to put a little pressure on the people in the Ministry of Punishment, so as not to make trouble for them when the time comes.

It's best to take the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice together when doing business, and everyone commits crimes together, and see how you hold me accountable in the future.

"What Sima Duhu said is indeed reasonable. After careful consideration, I feel that it is necessary to report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice in advance."

Hearing Ren Yongsong, Sima Yi heaved a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, it should be sooner rather than later. Let's report to the Ministry of Criminal Justice as soon as possible?"

Ren Yong nodded helplessly.

So the two decided to set off immediately to visit Gong Yun, the local head of the Criminal Ministry.

Walking on the road, Sima Yi wanted to get closer to Ren Yong, so he asked Ren Yong what role the court played in this matter.

"Shut down those small shops that have not yet been established, and keep those famous shops that have grown to a large scale. If we ask us to do such a thing, isn't it making us offend people?"

Sima Yi looked bitter.

Speaking of this matter, Ren Yong was also very dissatisfied.

"I also heard that there was a lot of quarrel in the court over this matter, but the decision to close those shops that couldn't stand the delay was made at the very beginning. The problem is... It is said that the emperor originally wanted to allocate a sum of money. Give it to the local Ministry of Finance, and let the finance department forgive the loans of those small businesses, so as to relieve their worries."

"Then it's a benevolent thing to do. Why should we encounter such great resistance?"

Sima Yi frowned and asked, "Who objects?"

"A lot of people are against it, not to mention those in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of War. There are also many people in the cabinet and the Ministry of Finance who are against it. It is still the same old rhetoric, saying that emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is the foundation of the country, and the Northwest should not be allowed to engage in commerce. , so that the farmers in the northwest don't do their jobs, they all go to low jobs.

It’s fine if nothing happened before, but now that something happened, if we don’t hurry up and depose the Northwest’s cheap industry once and for all, should we still allocate funds to the Northwest and take money from the treasury to subsidize the lowly industry?Isn't this ridiculous?There are so many people who have such views, and the emperor is helpless to play the watch desperately. "

Ren Yong shook his head again and again.

Sima Yi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"This...is too much."

"No way, agriculture is the foundation of the country, and business is a cheap industry. The emperor has never opposed it. How can he oppose it today?"

"And then what?"

"Then? Of course, the emperor doesn't want the Northwest Commerce to be deposed. It has finally developed to this day, and deposed? Isn't this the same as the former Han Dynasty when the court wanted to abandon Liangzhou?

So the emperor was furious, dismissed the three officials who yelled the most fiercely in court, severely reprimanded Zaobutang, the Ministry of Civil Affairs who took the lead, and then forcibly passed the current resolution. "

"Is there such a thing?"

Sima Yi was a little hard to imagine.

Ren Yong sighed: "Even if the current situation is caused by the emperor's anger, if the emperor ignores it, with Zaobutang's qualifications, the business in the Northwest would have ended long ago. Years, placed in the former Han Dynasty, that is also a figure with disciples and old officials all over the world."

Sima Yi nodded slightly.

"Zaobutang has always paid attention to farming and farming. It is said that when the Supreme Emperor was still the prefect of Shanggu in the former Han Dynasty, he assisted the Supreme Emperor in handling farming affairs in Shanggu County. Among the many veteran officials, Zaobutang has made a lot of contributions."

"That's natural, otherwise, why would those old officials regard Zaobutang as the leader?"

Ren Yong said in a low voice: "Zaobutang has deep qualifications and great contributions, and has always been strong. Wang Butang has low qualifications and insufficient credit. Keeping Northwest Commerce, the current situation is really hard to say."

Sima Yi nodded slowly, then frowned.

"The Zaobu Hall has always been the Emperor's confidant, and it is also the Emperor's policy to do business in the northwest. How could the Zaobu Hall be so opposed to the Emperor's policy? I can't figure it out either."

Ren Yong smiled helplessly.

"It's also interesting to say that Zaobutang has been in charge of farming affairs since he became an official of the Supreme Emperor. He has been farming for decades, and his achievements are all over the world. All the farming farms in the world have the hard work of Zaobutang. Zaobutang attaches great importance to this. thing.

It is said that Zaobutang was very dissatisfied with the large number of farmers in the northwest who did business instead of concentrating on farming. They believed that this was a move that would make farmers lazy, cunning, selfish, and focused on making money, which would affect the atmosphere of the entire Wei state. "

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and unexpectedly found that Zaozhi's reason was quite reasonable.

In recent years, there have been endless business cases in the Annan Protectorate's Mansion about intrigue among merchants, some of which were so bizarre that even Sima Yi's heart was shocked, and he felt that people's hearts were sinister.

This was unimaginable before.

"What Zaobutang said... may not be unreasonable."

Sima Yi looked at Ren Yong.

Ren Yong hesitated for a moment.

"Actually, I think so too, but well, what the other side said makes sense. The climate in the northwest is bitter and cold. No matter how hard you work, the grain harvested in the fields is not as much as that in the Central Plains. If you don't do business, you can't support so many people. eat."

Sima Yi weighed left and right, and felt that it was indeed very difficult to make a decision.

The current situation was won by the emperor, which showed that the emperor was not willing to give up the business in the northwest and chose to stand on their side, but the conditions were relatively harsh.

What bike do you want?

The two could only think about how to deal with Gong Yun later.

chapter 1550 one thousand four hundred and seventy

Gong Yun's tenure in the Annan Protectorate was not as long as that of Ren Yong.

Compared with Ren Yong's seriousness and forcefulness, he looks less forceful and serious, but rather easy to talk about.

But if you think that he is really a talkative person because of this, then you really misidentified him.

The officials of the Ministry of Punishment were recognized as difficult to deal with in the officialdom of the Wei Empire, and they were recognized as difficult to deal with.
