Chapter 2789 Civil and Military Disputes Have Their Own Thoughts, Dreams and Ideas, and Salty Fish.
In the hall, the atmosphere was slightly depressing.
Just like the current political situation in Jiangdong.
This situation, to put it simply, is like that of old Xue’s cat.
There is a master in Jiangdong, yes, but now there is no master.
Logically speaking, being without an owner should be relatively chaotic, but not too chaotic.
Military and political affairs are in a state of cooperation, but they also have their own little thoughts.
Zhang Zhao was silent for a while, then took some books from the desk beside him and handed them to Zhang Hong, "Brother Zigang is here just in time... This year's statistics have just been calculated, and the numbers of each county this year... are simply... ...』
Zhang Zhao sighed.
In Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao is the logistics manager, and of course this type of data is collected by him.
Zhang Hong's heart skipped a beat and he quickly took the collected documents. He glanced up and down, then frowned, raised his head and met Zhang Zhao's eyes.
Zhang Zhao was stroking his beard and seemed very calm, but there was also a little helplessness in his eyes.
Not only Zhang Zhao is helpless, but anyone who sees this summary of the plan will feel helpless.
deficit.
Jiangdong also has the problem of hidden households, which is even more serious.
These hidden households are actually part of the household registrations controlled by the wealthy families relying on their privileges and power, including slaves, children, slaves, tenants who rent the land of the wealthy families, as well as poor clansmen and guests. These people are all attached to wealthy families. In addition to paying rent for farming and performing labor services, they also serve as private soldiers, caretakers of homes and courtyards, patrol guards, etc.
These hidden households, also known as shadow households, under the control of powerful landlords, are people who are hidden under the sects of wealthy families and no longer have any relationship with the central government.
The center of Jiangdong is, of course, the Sun regime.
"There's a problem here!" Zhang Hong shook the book and said with suppressed anger, "It was still profitable in the first two years, so why is it in the red this year?" And he still lost so much money? ! 』
Zhang Zhao sighed, remained silent, and didn't say anything.
Zhang Hong was a little angry at first, but when he saw Zhang Zhao's appearance, he suddenly understood. Then he figured out all the worries before and after, as well as a series of things. He couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he sighed, " A big man...a weak master..."
Understood.
The roots are here.
The Han Dynasty is weak, but what about Jiangdong?
Of course, Zhang Hong couldn't say what Zhaquan was like, so he could only use the name Dahan instead.
Zhang Zhao also understood what Zhang Hong said.
This matter is really difficult to handle.
The two of them looked at the album in silence, and neither of them could say anything for a moment.
This booklet was like a huge slap on Er Zhang's face.
Even if Jiangdong Shangji's data submission speed is slow, he still pulls this trick. It's like letting the two people in charge of government affairs be like squid on the iron plate. Not only will they be teased back and forth on the surface, but they will also be tortured underneath. Roast.
There are many problems in Jiangdong's plan, but this time it seems that he is taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Maybe it can't be said that it is to cause trouble. It is more accurate to say that it is "taking the opportunity to write off the accounts".
In the past, in order to make the data look good and have outstanding political achievements, in the report of the previous plan, there might be fraud and there would be some gaps in the data. For example, it is easy to make some fraud in the amount of cultivated land, relief and water conservancy construction expenditures.
There are too many things like this, just like when we were planning to build a water canal, the initial plan was one million, but it ended up costing three million, which was an overrun. Is there any reason for overspending? It seems normal at first glance. For example, when purchasing materials and the construction period is urgent, there will be expedited fees. Then I find that the urgent purchase cannot be used. Do I need to spend another amount of money to purchase it somewhere else? So whose responsibility is this? From the purchasing staff? Of course it can only be regarded as temporary labor for procurement, eh, whoever it is.
However, even if the temporary workers are fired, money has been spent.
This is a shortfall, what should I do? If you can't find a reason, you can only hide it first, then find some opportunity to reimburse it, misappropriate it, and then wipe it out soon?
And now, it is obvious that all the counties in Jiangdong seem to unanimously feel that it is a good time to wipe it out...
In the past few years, Sun Quan had tightened his grip, and at that time, Scum Quan was ready to rebel and cause trouble at any time. In fact, many people in Jiangdong knew it, so would those who had problems dare to report it? Naturally, everything is repaid. If you lose, you should lose first. Anyway, it is nothing new to eat Yin and Mao Liang.
You must know that Jiangdong's current financial operation model is actually similar to Zhang Hong's going to eat. He eats first, pays the bills, and then pays and writes off the accounts at a certain time. Therefore, now that the power of the scum is restricted, Jiangdong is actually in an ownerless state. , or in a state called a weak master, and in addition, some areas in Jiangdong were affected by the disaster this time, isn't it a golden opportunity? If you miss it, won’t you regret it for the rest of your life?
Zhang Hong even suspected that among these reported losses, some guys even reported profits or losses in subsequent years!
check?
This is not easy to check.
Even if it is not a big man, but in later generations where there are QR codes that can be traced, isn't there someone who specially tore up the QR code, and then it was broken, gone, or lost? How many more people were crowned because of this? At best, they were hiding from the limelight, only to reappear a few months later.
Unexpectedly, the upper echelons of Jiangdong are in chaos, with mountains rising up and attacking each other. How can we expect the counties in Jiangdong to be honest and behave themselves?
Coupled with the disaster in Koto this time, if you don’t count all the expenses and everything in the disaster account, and wipe all the shit under the butt curtain, is it possible to wait for the curtain to be lifted next time?
Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao and others felt very comfortable when they first restricted the scumbag power. After all, they felt that there was no scumbag power on the side to cause trouble, and all the counties and counties were performing their duties. It seemed that everything was fine, but now problems have arisen. …
If Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, then Er Zhang can be regarded as the chief steward of Jiangdong. Now the master has not exercised his authority for the time being. As a result, the two stewards have been working for a year and such a big mistake has appeared. Does it mean that the steward is incompetent? ?
So can the two pieces be studied in detail?
If we look into it further, does it mean that the two of them must take the blame and resign first, and that there will be an indelible stain on their life and political career?
This matter can only be treated as a disaster.
After the debt was settled, we were all still good friends.
Anyway, the one who loses in the end is the Lord of Jiangdong.
Of course, there are also ordinary people in Jiangdong. But the voices of ordinary people are too low, and if they are cheated, they will be cheated. And isn't the Lord of Jiangdong now "restricted in authority"? Naturally, there is nothing he can do to them.
Everyone is not stupid.
But this will inevitably make Er Zhang feel aggrieved.
What is this?
Shooting yourself in the foot?
In the hall, the two of them didn't speak for a while.
It’s true that people in Jiangdong are not unified, but they are not unified, these guys are really united in making money!
No wonder the expensive peach wine, Parthian spices, and Jiangbei war horses are all out of stock!
The people above Jiangdong have no money, and the people at the grassroots level in Jiangdong have no money either. But these guys in Jiangdong are very rich, live in mansions, raise beautiful women, drink good wine, ride horses, and then say that they are very hard-working, working hard for the big man, and for Jiangdong.
Jiangdong is the epitome of the Han Dynasty, even more serious than the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty. Because the people in Jiangdong are less educated, less knowledgeable, more ignorant, and easier to deceive than the people in the Central Plains of Han Dynasty.
Naturally, he is better at the trick of deceiving others. Parts of Jiangdong were really affected by disasters, and the South Vietnamese barbarians really rebelled, but behind these truths, there were a lot of lies...
"The Governor..." Zhang Hong asked slightly uneasily, "But is there any... news?" 』
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said, "There is no news yet." 』
No news, maybe good news.
Zhang Hong was silent, then smiled bitterly, "Everyone has his destiny, but what can be done about it?" 』
Even Zhang Hong himself often feels unwell, but what can he do? I heard that a hundred medical clinics were built in Chang'an, which brought together many famous doctors. Jiangdong also wanted to build one, but no famous doctors came, so what's the use of just putting up a sign?
Or should Zhou Yu and Zhang Hong just abandon Jiangdong and go to Chang'an for medical treatment?
If he really goes to Chang'an, can he still be regarded as a minister of Jiangdong?
What's more, the current ills in Jiangdong not only involve civil affairs, but also military power.
Zhou Yu understood the righteousness and gave up many of Zhou's private soldiers, reducing the number of his subordinates. But what about the other generals? Generals don’t need to raise soldiers. After raising soldiers, they don’t need to eat or drink?
If Zhou Yu dies, no matter who takes the position of governor, the Jiangdong generals series will inevitably cause a lot of turbulence. In order to prevent his own boat from capsizing at a moment's notice, he took the opportunity to do something to strengthen himself, and became the Jiangdong generals. An ineffable consensus of the series.
Zhang Hong looked at Zhang Zhao, and the two of them avoided looking at each other in a tacit understanding. Although Shangji Wenzhu slapped them in the face, they had to endure it like this. They couldn't yell or scream, and they had to act as if nothing happened.
On the other side, the military generals are making a fuss about going to Wuling to quell the rebellion. Of course, they are not really doing it to quell the rebellion, but to take the opportunity to expand their ranks and plunder the population of South Vietnam to serve as soldiers and expand their authority.
Ever since, a strange phenomenon happened. Perhaps most of the middle and upper class people in Jiangdong knew the secrets one after another, but no one had the courage to lift the almost transparent veil. This is the current situation in Jiangdong, and this is the basis for the inexplicable cooperation between Jiangdong's civil and military forces before the disaster and rebellion.
Zhang Hong's good mood just now after eating the fish dumplings was completely ruined. All that was left was the heaviness all over his body. He let out a long sigh and said, "In the New Year, I just ask the Lord to win my love..."
Zhang Zhao also nodded.
This year's deficit can be said to be attributed to the disaster, but what about next year? Is it possible that there will be some kind of disaster next year? What about the year after next? Three years of disaster? Even a pig's brain knows something is wrong. However, among the feudal dynasties in history, there was a certain emperor who claimed to be a great emperor, and then local officials said that all the food was used for disaster relief, and he did so for several years...
But doing nothing like this really makes Er Zhang feel very uncomfortable. In addition, if you want to ask Sun Quan to come back, you also need a suitable reason. You can't say that the blame is too big, so Sun Quan can come quickly?
So Zhang Hong thought for a long time, and suddenly his heart moved, and he groaned, "... what a chirping sound, I heard it in the east chamber of my palace." There are four or five brothers, all of whom are servants. Five days later, the roadside was full of spectators. The golden horse's head is so bright. The peach tree grows on the well, and the peach tree grows next to it. Insects come to bite the peach roots, and plum trees replace the peach roots..."
Zhang Zhao tilted his head slightly and listened, "Brother Zigang means..."
"There will be strife between east and west!" ” Zhang Hong said slowly, “The balance between east and west... If there are external forces... what concerns Jiangbei will be the same as those in Guanzhong. Although some soldiers were stationed in Jingzhou, they had no intention of going south. Therefore, we can be friendly to him, pay annual tribute to the emperor, show his strength to the prime minister, receive praise from the emperor, and gain trade between the north and the south...the benefits are not unkind. 』
Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment, then glanced at Zhang Hong and said, "I heard that the governor also has this strategy... However, I haven't implemented it yet..."
That's right, this was not created by Zhang Hong. Zhou Yu had vaguely proposed this strategy before, but it was not implemented. On the one hand, it is because of Jiangdong's political system, each of which has its own constraints. On the other hand, if this matter is really to be carried out, Sun Quan will naturally be required to authorize it. However, everyone is not satisfied yet, and the interests of Sun Song's death have not yet been divided. Clearly, how could Sun Quan be allowed to come out so quickly?
So although Zhou Yu proposed it, he said that he would study it and consider it, and then shelved it.
Anyway, this is also a traditional bureaucratic skill of the Han Dynasty, and it is not a rare thing.
But it's different now...
Zhang Hong said with a smile, "The governor did have this strategy in the past, but it can only be implemented today!" But things are different tonight..."
According to Zhang Hong, if Zhou Yu's strategy was followed to find Cao Cao, Cao Cao would not believe it at all! It is impossible to say that it will arouse Cao Cao's suspicion and become more wary of Jiangdong. After all, Sun Quan had a minor conflict with Cao Cao before. Not only did he fight to the death in Jingzhou, but he also went to Guangling to plunder a lot of people and money. . Under such circumstances, he suddenly said that he wanted to form an alliance with Cao Cao. Of course, Cao Cao would not easily believe it.
But it's different now. Jiangdong has been hit by a disaster!
I also lost money on the above calculation!
In such a serious situation, of course, if you show weakness to Cao Cao and ask for peace or something, you will naturally have an almost perfect excuse. At the same time, you will not worry about the visits of Cao's spies in Jiangdong. It is even possible that this information has been reported to Cao Cao. side……
Since the damage to the above plan is inevitable and the disputes between generals are difficult to control, then think about it in reverse, is it possible not to control it?
Use small losses to plan more and greater benefits.
And this huge benefit is naturally obtained from the peach tree on the side.
North of the river, there are two trees. Since your own plums are rotten, you might as well go to someone else’s house to pick peaches. In this way, not only can the bad debts of Jiangdong's plan be settled, but the unnecessary disputes between military commanders can be pointed in the right direction. At the same time, it can also give Sun Quan a better name to stand out. It is simply a perfect strategy!
Zhang Zhao's eyes lit up and he said, "Zigang's plan for Li Daitao to stand up is so wonderful!" 』
Zhang Hong stroked his beard slightly and continued: "The Wuling rebellion is really useless. It is useless to fight and it is a pity to abandon it." Therefore, it might as well be used for other purposes... If it can attract the Hussars' troops in Sichuan... then the Prime Minister will definitely not be suspicious..."
Not only would he not doubt it, but in order to make the war between Jiangdong and Hussars Sichuan and Shu more intense, Cao Cao would also give some special rewards and material benefits.
As for whether he would open the door to rob a thief or lure a wolf into the house, Zhang Hong said that there is no need to worry, because the Wuling area is mountainous and densely forested, making it difficult to pass. In addition, Jiangdong's navy is sharp. As long as the waterway is controlled, even if it is Sichuan-Shu. The hussars could only circle in the Wuling area at most and could not threaten the hinterland of Jiangdong.
The strongest cavalry of the Hussars cannot be used in the forested areas of Wuling Mountain, and the Jiangdong navy is the strongest. This is simply the best battlefield. Is it possible to use strengths and avoid weaknesses and use the strong to bully the weak?
And if the hussars really come, Zhang Hong can also ask Jiangdong generals to implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness in the Wuling area. At that time, the hussars will not only bring their own food and grass, but also be responsible for providing food to the Nanman Yue people in the Wuling area. Supply food and grass, otherwise not only will it be impossible to control the Wuling area, but it will even be counterattacked by the Southern Barbarians and Yue people!
Anyway, the Wuling area is useless. Even when it is usually stable, there is not much harvest, so it is not a pity to destroy it.
In this way, the generals will have a place to spend their energy. Of course, they will not be trying to get along with civilian officials all day long. They can unite more closely around the Sun regime and achieve greater and better benefits with the same goal. .
Yes, it's profit.
In this way, everyone can get the official enfeoffment from the imperial court, and can also get their own distribution of benefits. Is it a win?
Of course, this is just Li Daitao's stiffness.
At most, you can throw out the rotten plums and get some good peaches instead of cutting down the peach trees.
Jiangdong doesn't have the ability to cut...
After thinking about this problem, Zhang Zhao's smile slowly faded, and he sighed and said, "Brother Zigang, in this dispute... who will win and who will lose?" 』
Zhang Hong glanced at Zhang Zhao and did not answer immediately.
He couldn't answer immediately.
Why did Zhang Zhao show a capitulating attitude towards Cao Cao after he went south? In fact, it is not because Zhang Zhao is weak by nature, nor is it because Zhang Zhao is a scholar and does not understand military affairs. On the contrary, in the early days of Sun's regime, Zhang Zhao was still a general, not only commanding troops to suppress rebellions, but also conquering cities and territories. However, as he grew older, he no longer commanded troops.
So Zhang Zhao chose to surrender in history because he saw Jiangdong's weakness and knew that it would be difficult to resist Cao Cao...
Just like now, Zhang Zhao was asking about the winner of the East and West, but did not include Jiang Dong as an option for the final winner of the battle.
It claims to have a vast territory, but how useful will it be if there is danger from the Yangtze River?
If the East and West families really decide the outcome, how can the Jiangdong counties fight against the East and West families in a situation like this in Jiangdong? Although it is said that people without dreams are no different from salted fish, but what if they are salted fish from the beginning...
Do you still want to dream?
