Human nature is greedy and evil, Ji Ling has long understood this truth, so he never thought of relying on human nature to get things done.
This is the case with the current silver mine, even if Chen Lixin's group of officials are replaced, Ji Ling can not guarantee that the new officials will be honest.
In fact, even if these officials are good now, there is no guarantee that they will not fall in the future, so the most fundamental way is to restrain them in the system.
During this time, Ji Ling has been thinking of a suitable method, but it is impossible to have the best of both worlds anyway, because in the end, it still has to be attributed to people and implementation, so Ji Ling can only improve the system as much as possible: if things are so easy to solve, wouldn't there be no drawbacks in the future......
In Ji Ling's regulations, one of the most important measures is to divide responsibilities and implement them: that is, to divide the management of silver mines into regions, and if there is a problem in the mining area under the jurisdiction of any official, he will be removed from his post and investigated at the least, and his house will be beheaded at the worst.
As for the silver mines, the first choice was to contract them to the local villagers, following the example of later generations, and if the local villagers were unwilling, they would consider contracting out to the merchants with high prices, but they would be subject to various restrictions.
And if the mining area he is responsible for is responsible, he will also have to go to jail, without him, since ancient times, it has been oppressing the poor and the poor resisting, which one have you ever seen oppressed the rich and the rich revolted?
If you want to wrap it, if you don't want to wrap it, get out!
No one forced you!
As for reducing taxes, ensuring the basic working conditions of miners, etc., each of them is very detailed, but the specific level of implementation depends on the degree of implementation, which Ji Ling cannot control.
In general, Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Ji Ling's suggestion, and basically implemented it according to his plan, and praised him, praising him for solving a big problem for himself.
And Zhu Qiyu didn't accept the silver that Chen Lixin bribed him, but just said that he had this heart, and let him take the silver to train the army.
As for Wang Wen and Cheng Jing, Ji Ling also bought a lot of good ones, after all, he gave them so many opportunities to employ people, you must know that Cheng Jing is now the most powerful eunuch around Zhu Qiyu, and Wang Wen's influence in the court is second only to Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
Why didn't Ji Ling buy it from Yu Qian?
Ahem......
As for his kind of person who is almost rigid, scolding himself is light, and looking back, it is really a waste of chickens and rice.
At this point, Ji Ling has perfectly solved the matter of the silver mine: the corrupt officials have all been taken down, and other officials have quickly made up for it, without causing a big shock.
When the people saw that the corrupt officials had been punished, they were naturally happy in their hearts, and the imperial court also issued preferential decrees such as tax cuts, which was even more joyful.
Wang Wen and Cheng Jing and others naturally needless to say, even Cao Jixiang is very grateful to Ji Ling for vacating two vacancies for his own arrangement.
As for those small fish and shrimp in Zhejiang and Fujian, they escaped the catastrophe, and since then they have converged a lot, but they followed the forces behind themselves to thank Ji Ling silently: Thank you old man for raising your noble hand!
The officialdom has stopped, the people are comfortable, and the next thing is that Tao Deer's gang of chaotic people who fled to the mountains will be unlucky.
Li Dazhi saw that Ji Ling really fulfilled his original promise, and made up his mind to serve him, plus Ji Ling was really generous in terms of military salary, so they trained even harder, never cheating, after all, they are all honest people!
As for Tao De and the others, there was naturally no reason to rebel at this time: the imperial court issued a decree, not only benefiting the local people, but also forgiving the sins of those who participated in the rebellion, and promised to give them a silver mine to surrender them.
The court has said so, if you are no longer interesting, won't you stand on the opposite side of the people?
There is no way, the values of the current people are so simple.
Therefore, there was no need for Ji Ling to incite Li Dazhi and others, they themselves were arguing to put down the rebellion for the imperial court.
So after more than ten days of training, Ji Ling finally took Li Dazhi's two thousand direct relatives and horses to march towards the mountains and forests where Tao De and the others were hiding.
Li Dazhi and the others have very strong combat effectiveness, not to mention that Tao Deer and these chaotic people have suffered a lot of crimes in the mountains, how can they be willing to fight?
Therefore, just after two battles, Tao Deer, Ye Xiba and others began to split internally.
Tao Deer advocated surrender because he knew that he had a few pounds and a few taels: if he dragged on like this, he would all have to be finished!
But Ye Xiba disagreed, because his father Ye Zongliu died in the hands of the government, "No, you must not surrender to those dog officials!"
Have you forgotten how Uncle Chen died?
” The "Uncle Chen" in Ye Xiba's mouth refers to Chen Jianhu, one of the former leaders of the uprising, thinking that when Ye Zongliu died in battle, Chen Jianhu led the crowd to surrender, but he himself was escorted to Jingshi and executed by Ling Chi, so Ye Xiba has no trust in the government.
As soon as Ye Xiba said this, Tao Deer really hesitated, but after thinking for a moment, he still frowned and said, "But if we continue like this, we will die!"
I heard that the imperial court sent a messenger to investigate a lot of corrupt officials, and also reduced taxes for the people, and now no one helps us, what do you say?
” Ye Xiba knew that the current situation was critical, but he still didn't want to let go, Tao Deer saw this, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Listen to Uncle's words, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's surrender now, and we won't turn back and become anti-fucking!"
When did Uncle hurt you?
” Ye Xiba didn't speak, but remained silent from beginning to end, and then quietly watched Tao Deer organize his subordinates, preparing to go down the mountain and surrender......
In fact, Dong Xing did not advocate recruiting these chaotic people, first, because he had fewer opportunities to make meritorious contributions, and second, he never believed that these chaotic people could really "change their evil and return to righteousness."
But Ji Ling wanted to preserve his strength, but he was also unwilling to make it difficult for the newly recruited people under his hands, after all, they were all ordinary people, so he strongly advocated recruiting Tao Deer, Ye Xiba and others.
At this time, watching the second-class Taode rebels walking down the mountain with their hands raised high, Ji Ling couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: everything was finally solved!
P.S.
Explain it, some readers may think that this case is too simple, in ancient times, it was a society governed by man, and if the emperor had a mind, it would be so simple.
It's just that in real history, the emperor relied on these mine supervisors to make money for himself (the emperor has an inner treasury and is separated from the household), so he has been turning a blind eye to this kind of thing, the most famous such as the Wanli Emperor, specifically to check it himself, anyway, not as many readers and friends think of wits and courage......
