"An old saying goes..."
Wei Zheng's persuasion skills are quite professional.
Chen Chu immediately became annoyed after hearing this.
He is indeed the speaker that even His Majesty Li Er is afraid of.
terrible!
Chen Chu couldn't help asking: "Lord Wei, what do you mean, His Majesty has to find a way to prevent officials from all over the world from cheating?"
Wei Zheng nodded: "That's right, that's right, it's just deceit."
He felt that Chen Chu summed it up pretty well.
The so-called policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom is actually a fraudulent place.
Chen Chu shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "Even if according to what you said, my words are to alert the father and the court, but what you said... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't do anything about it, I don't care about Tang's political affairs. If you don’t know, you should ask those who have years of political experience.”
What a joke!
ask me?
Do you think I didn't die fast enough?
Chen Chu sneered in his heart.
It seems that Lao Li and Lao Wei are planning to change the system.
Huaxia's penetration has always been conservative, especially the system is not easy to change, not because no one sees its drawbacks, but once the system is changed, it will touch the interests of many people.
It is said that officials in various places practiced fraud, and there must be many in Datang.
Those officials have long regarded it as a way to get promoted and make money.
Now, if Chen Chu teaches Wei Zheng to find a way to prevent it and let the officials know, especially those with vested interests, I'm afraid they can't help but fight Chen Chu desperately.
Therefore, Chen Chu resolutely refused.
It's better not to touch this kind of thing.
Reformers have always come to a bad end.
Shang Yang's reform was successful, but he was torn apart by a car and died.
This is the lesson of blood.
Chen Chu is not afraid of things.
But I don't want to take the initiative to cause trouble!
Wouldn't it be nice to marry a princess and go home and make money with peace of mind?
It is also a happy thing to be an idle consort.
He made up his mind, so he kept his mouth shut to Wei Zheng, not saying a word.
"Master Wei, please go back, I really can't do anything about this..." Chen Chu said.
Wei Zheng talked earnestly for a long time, but he couldn't get Chen Chu to speak.
I saw him showing disappointment.
Wei Zheng just wanted to leave.
But Cheng Chubi suddenly ran in, with a hasty look on his face, ignoring Wei Zheng who was standing next to him, and said: "Uncle, it's too bad, I just found out that there are traitors among the group of people we secretly sell meat. These guys deliberately sold the price higher than our price, and then the excess part was greedy for ink... I have asked people to check it out, uncle, do you think you should kill them or directly sell the previous price? Get back all their wages and drive them out of Chang'an?"
"Cough cough cough..."
As soon as Cheng Chubi opened his mouth, Chen Chu coughed hastily and kept looking at Cheng Chubi.
Who knows, Cheng Chubi didn't understand at all, but asked with concern: "Uncle, are you suffering from a cold? I'll go and invite a doctor for you..."
As he said that, he turned around and saw Wei Zheng with a dazed expression on his face.
Cheng Chubi suddenly felt that he had caused a catastrophe.
Originally, Chen Chu was forced by the court to sell meat, and he was also forced to lower the price.
Then they sent a group of people to quietly sell meat at high prices.
It's all right now, Wei Zheng knows about it.
Cheng Chubi suddenly had the idea of killing people to silence him, but when he thought of Wei Zheng's identity, he immediately lost his temper.
He stood there, not knowing what to do, and looked at Chen Chu for help.
Chen Chu saw that Wei Zheng didn't move, so he stopped choking.
So he said to Cheng Chubi: "Once there are huge benefits, few people will not be tempted. Killing or punishment can't be stopped, and there will still be people who do it in the future. In fact, the solution is also very simple. Our black market , You also need to follow the rules. You should release the news. As long as the meat on the black market is too expensive, you can report it. A reward of ten catties of flesh for the whistleblower..."
Cheng Chubi smacked his lips and said, "Uncle, aren't we encouraging whistleblowers? I'm afraid that many good people will come out and whistleblower, what will we do then?"
Chen Chu snorted coldly: "If it turns out that the report is false, then don't blame us for being rude..."
Cheng Chubi said: "I understand, I'll do it now..."
Chen Chu turned his head and saw Wei Zheng standing there stunned.
So he ordered: "Come here, bring a sheep to Mr. Wei, and send it to the mansion."
Then Chen Chu cupped his hands towards Wei Zheng, and said: "Master Wei, there is no way, the people under his command also need to eat, we sell meat in the black market, it is a last resort, and I hope Wei Da..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Zheng suddenly became excited, grabbed Chen Chu's sleeve, and said, "Chen Chu, your method just now can really stop those who sell meat at a high price without permission?"
Chen Chu was taken aback, and then explained: "Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, but it still has a certain effect. This method can not only deter those who want to secretly sell high prices, but also deter those who want to make a fortune by reporting..."
"That's right, that's the reason..." Wei Zheng nodded repeatedly, looking a little out of his mind.
At this time, a servant came in and said, "Boss, the sheep have been loaded into the car, are they going to be sent to Mr. Wei's residence now?"
Before Chen Chu could speak, Wei Zheng suddenly pushed him away and said, "I don't want your meat, hahaha, you have done a great deed..."
"Hahaha……"
Wei Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and went out.
Chen Chu was left in the same place without knowing why.
The servant asked: "Boss, do you still want to send it?"
Chen Chu scratched his head: "Old Wei is confused, he hasn't promised to keep it secret for me, forget it, I won't give it away..."
If Old Wei's front hand takes the sheep, and the second hand reveals the news that I am selling meat on the black market, it will not be a big loss.
……
Royal Palace.
In the Tai Chi Hall.
Everyone looked forward to it.
There have been many reports from the Imperial Army and Wuhou Shop that Wei Zheng has not been found.
Wei Zheng, a living person, seemed to have disappeared suddenly.
Everyone was worried.
At this moment, footsteps sounded at the entrance of the main hall.
Then a too fake voice sounded in panic: "Master Wei, according to the rules, you still have to inform before you can enter!"
Followed by Wei Zheng's voice.
Wei Zheng said unhappily: "What's the report, the old man is in a hurry..."
Everyone heard the voice and turned their heads to look.
I saw Wei Zheng rushing in, rushing straight to the front, ignoring the stunned expressions of the ministers, but said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, Chen has found a way!"
Li Er and the ministers were all at a loss.
Li Er hurriedly asked: "Wei Aiqing, you disappeared so early in the morning, where did you go?"
Wei Zheng patted the snowflakes on his head, and said, "Your Majesty, I went to Chunming Gate early in the morning to drink sweet wine with Chen Chu, ah no, I went to ask Chen Chu for advice."
If you want to blame, you can only blame Chen Chu's sweet wine, which is so delicious that Old Wei can't forget it.
……
Chapter 209 Old Wei, Your Uncle
Looking at Wei Zheng, his face turned slightly red.
Changsun Wuji couldn't help but said immediately: "Lord Wei, you are so upbeat. Your Majesty and I are all worried about your safety, so we sent people all over Chang'an City to look for you. It's better for you to go and talk to Chen Chen early in the morning. Chu was drinking and chatting..."
Li Er also looked at Wei Zheng in surprise.
Wei Zheng ignored his elder Sun Wuji, but said to Li Er: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I have no problem. I went to Chen Chu, but it was not for my own self-interest, but for the country and society of the Tang Dynasty!"
Changsun Wuji sneered and said, "Master Wei, drinking and chatting is also for the sake of the country of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Hahaha……"
When the ministers heard this, they all laughed.
Wei Zheng was so angry that his beard was trembling, he pointed at the crowd and said, "Wait, I don't know much, hum... Your Majesty, I have found a solution to your Majesty's heart trouble."
In a word, let everyone in the hall quiet down.
Li Er also asked curiously: "Oh, Wei Aiqing, what you said was what I said yesterday?"
Wei Zheng nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, I went to the tower of Chunming Gate today, and I wanted to ask for advice, but Chen Chu was timid and afraid, and refused to say anything. Finally, after going around the mountains and rivers, giving some pointers to the minister, Chen suddenly realized, and rushed to report to His Majesty..."
After a pause, Wei Zheng glanced at the crowd triumphantly, and said, "Your Majesty, on the way here, I have already thought about it, that is, to solve the fraud of local officials, there are policies and there are countermeasures. The answer is very simple. , that is to issue an imperial decree to encourage the people of the world to supervise local officials. As long as they think that the actions of local officials have violated the imperial edict and the government's decree, they can go to Chang'an City in person or send a letter to report... …Once the court finds out, those officials who harmed one side will be severely punished, and at the same time, those who report will be rewarded. In this way, although the matter cannot be completely resolved, it can still deter a group of officials.”
Li Er's eyes lit up.
The ministers were also dumbfounded.
This trick...
Never heard of it before.
Once the common people can report the actions of officials, these officials will be restrained when they do things, and they will do what they dare not think about.
In many remote areas, some parents and officials are called Tu Huangdi, because in his territory, he alone has the final say, and even if the people under his rule have complaints, there is no place to appeal.
And once there is a reporting system, this problem can be easily solved.
Many people began to praise Wei Zheng.
Li Er also nodded in satisfaction, but he didn't immediately agree.
He is still thinking.
At this time, Wang Gui stood up and said: "Master Wei, this method sounds perfect, but, isn't this encouraging whistleblowers? In time, I'm afraid that all kinds of fake reports will be rampant in the world. At that time, how to deal with it?" Of……"
Wei Zheng recalled the conversation between Chen Chu and Cheng Chubi, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Wang, what you said is not unreasonable, but I have already thought of it... That is, once it is found that the report is false, or the report is deliberately false, Those who report must be severely punished to serve as an example to others... At that time, all those who report officials will definitely not report without sufficient evidence and full confidence..."
This problem was also solved.
Then, another official asked a question: "Many people are as timid as a mouse. If they are asked to report their parents and officials, do they dare? Are they not afraid of being retaliated against?"
Wei Zheng said with a smile: "We can use secret letters so that people can't find out who reported it..."
Officials expressed their doubts one after another.
Wei Zheng answered them one by one.
The reporting system, which was originally vague, gradually became clear.
At the end, Li Er said: "Go to Yushitai, gather people, study this reporting system carefully, and come up with a charter as soon as possible..."
Then he looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Aiqing, you have solved a serious problem for the court, and you have contributed a lot to this matter."
Wei Zheng shook his head: "Your Majesty, if you say credit, it's all Chen Chu's. I'm just passing on the word."
Old Wei has already become a prime minister at an early age, but he is not greedy for credit.
He gave all the credit to Chen Chu.
Li Er waved his hands when he heard the words: "Why should Wei Aiqing be modest, that kid Chen Chu, what does he know..."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and asked the servant to announce his retirement.
