"Msang, my concubine has looked at the accounts of the Nuantang Foundation for the past two days and found some problems!"
When it was almost noon, Han Yuxi found Li Zexuan in the Western Court with an account book and said.
There are only two alleys between Yonglefang and Anyifang where the headquarters of the Nuantang Foundation are located. Now that a group of "high-achieved students" from Yanhuang Academy joins the foundation, the pressure on Han Yuxi disappears in an instant, and he basically doesn't even need accounts. She's going to forget it! Because the people at Yanhuang Academy are very good at settling accounts! In contrast, she has become a layman!
Therefore, Han Yuxi now doesn't need to stay at the Nuantang Foundation all day. Normally, he only needs to go there once or twice a day. And the two sides are so close that it doesn't take long to go back and forth!
"Oh? Lady, what problem did you find?"
Li Zexuan, who was leaning on the couch reading a book, let out a shock, raised his head and asked.
Han Yuxi took the account book and leaned down and said, "Look, Xiang Gong, the Nuantang Foundation has received nearly 400,000 donations so far, but according to the list obtained by Qingque, the poor people we need to help add up. There are only more than 20,000 households. If each household spends 200 yuan, it adds up to five or six thousand. Compared with the total amount of donations, this is just a drop in the bucket!"
Li Zexuan frowned. He really hadn't considered this issue at the time. Recently, he left all his philanthropy "undertakings" to his wives and students to manage, and he was also concerned about the affairs of only 20,000 "poor households". Not knowing that much, after thinking about it, he muttered to himself in doubt:
"Could it be that what I had said scared the county magistrates?"
Earlier when he assigned tasks to Li Tai, he said that he would instruct local county magistrates to "draw up a list of poor households as soon as possible, and no over-reporting or under-reporting is allowed, otherwise he will definitely ask them to settle accounts." This made Li Zexuan I can’t help wondering whether the county magistrates in the counties follow the principle of
one more thing is worse than one thing less
and only report the people who are too poor to survive?
It’s no wonder that he is too mindful. It’s mainly because the population of Chang’an City and the more than 20 counties surrounding Chang’an City is three to four million people. If you say there are only more than 20,000
poor households
, what is it? impossible!
Thinking of this, Li Zexuan said: "Lady, let Qingque take a few people, and then negotiate with the county government, so that the county magistrates must compile a more detailed list of poor people, as long as they can’t afford it. People who can't afford briquettes and coal stoves must be on the roster, and none of them are allowed to be missed! I will also go to the counties to conduct random checks in the past few days. If I find any omissions, I will report it to your majesty and the staff. It will lower their exam results this year!"
The so-called examination is the evaluation of officials' performance by the ancient Chinese court, which is also called "examination of performance" and "examination of merit". The evaluation of political performance sprouted from Yao and Shun, and it was followed in the past, and there are many records in history books. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the examination system was very perfect. In particular, the establishment of the imperial examination system accompanied by the election of officials further completed the evaluation system for officials and played a very positive role in improving the governance of officials at that time.
Judging from the examination method formulated at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, civil and military officials and exiled officials above the rank of nine must pass a small examination every year. Every four years (also three or five years) another big exam is held. The content of the assessment includes the "four virtues" and "twenty-seven most", which shows the details of the assessment.
Li Zexuan's trick is not unrelenting, it directly holds the key to the local officials, unless you have no ambitions and always just want to be a small county magistrate, otherwise you will definitely care about the court's annual exams!
"Xiangong meant that the county magistrates everywhere underreported~?"
Han Yuxi blinked and asked.
Li Zexuan gave an "um" and nodded: "We estimate that we have underreported at least three to four times! Of course, this is just a problem. In addition to underreporting, Weihu thinks we have to increase our assistance to the poor. You can give them some more clothes or food. After all, this year's autumn harvest has reduced production in many places! What do you think of the lady?"
"Hmm! The concubine thinks so too!"
Han Yuxi nodded excitedly.
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Even so, there will definitely be a lot of money left! But it doesn't matter. This year we will help the poor people around Chang'an City first, and we will help people in further places next year! Let's just say in case. When natural disasters occur in the future, the money from the Nuantang Foundation will become life-saving money!"
Speaking of natural disasters, Li Zexuan's gaze suddenly became deep. Now he is no longer the boy who has just entered Chang'an and has no foundation. He has a higher status and a greater ability. Accordingly, he can do what he can do. There will be more things, and the effect will be greater!
"This natural disaster, I'm in charge~!"
If Li Zexuan just wanted to help his housekeeper survive the locust plague at the beginning, then he now wants to help the entire Datang survive the locust plague!
Because after nearly a year of life in the Tang Dynasty, he has completely fallen in love with this era and the people of this era!
In the Tang Dynasty, this may be a complex that the Chinese will never get around, and Li Zexuan is no exception!
