The Hall of Politics.Fang Congzhe said to Zhu Youxiao with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, since the Qing Dynasty and the decree of the strict investigation of the excessive phenomenon of slave storage, there have been many cases of foreign officials resigning and even hanging up their crowns and leaving, and there are now more than 70 cases, which has increased according to reports, and there have been no less than 16 cases of officials harassing post stations, and there have been three cases of post guards being beaten to death. ”Zhu Youxiao watched the sketch of his "Daming Garden" while listening to Fang Congzhe's performance.After hearing that Fang Congzhe's words about the resignation of foreign officials, and the increase in nuisance to post stations, and the death of post guards, Zhu Youxiao twisted his brows, revealing a fierce look."
Is there a report on this in the East Factory?"
Zhu Youxiao asked at this time.Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied: "This kind of nuisance post station, Dongchang has learned that there are more than 30 cases, 12 cases of killing post guards, and more than 20 cases of people being forcibly arrested and serving and dying as a result. ”"Dongchang reported more than the political hall to know, it should be the patrol of the imperial history and according to the officials of the judges, as well as the local states and counties for some officials and gentry to hide a lot, clear the acres of land, strict investigation of excessive slavery, is the policy of the benefit of the community, but now it seems that there are many officials who are not in the community!
If you don't want to offend the powerful and powerful, it's no problem to resign from the government, but this kind of refusal to benefit the people for the official side, but know that putting on the pomp of being an official, disturbing the post station, and even disregarding people's lives, is really resentful, and some officials hide it, and it is even more hateful. ”Xiong Tingbi followed at this time.Han Yi wanted to say a few words, but he still kept his mouth shut and glanced at Zhu Youxiao."
Anyone who takes the initiative to resign can be allowed, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials will be re-appointed to take office, but those who leave with the crown are disrespectful to me and ignore the discipline of the imperial court.Confiscation of family property!
”"Those who disturb the post station and commit evil deeds commit suicide, and their families are exiled, causing casualties, if they are officials and errands of post men and post soldiers, they will be complicit in the crime and punished all over the house!
If it is a civilian, he will be decided, his family will be exiled, and all his property will be confiscated!
East Factory Execution!
”"If the governor, the governor according to the imperial history, according to the judge, the state and county officials did not report, and were identified by the East Factory, the corresponding officials were beheaded together, and all the family property was confiscated!
No appeasement!
East Factory Execution!
”Zhu Youxiao put the drawings on the desk, not angry."
Slave obeys!"
Wei Zhongxian replied.Zhu Youxiao then looked at Fang Congzhe: "The Ministry of Officials, select new officials to take office as soon as possible!"
”"Yes!"
Fang Congzhe replied.......
"Since Duke Gao has a personal relationship with Father-in-law Li Shi and Father-in-law Li in the palace, the 50,000 taels of silver will be forwarded to Father-in-law Li." ”Huang Zunyi quietly handed out a meeting ticket to Gao Shijun here.Gao Shijun took the ticket and said with a smile: "Isn't Huang Gong already hanging up the crown and leaving?"
Why did he suddenly ask Gao to transfer such a big gift to Gonggong Li, could it be that Huang Gonggong still has regrets in the court?
”Huang Zunyi smiled: "It's not a matter of what, Huang just asks Gonggong Li to reveal the character of the future princes in the inner court through Gao Gong, although the princes have just been born, but people should take a long-term view, right?"
”"That's right!"
Gao Shijun laughed.But at this time, Huang Zunyi's house slave Lan Zhiwang ran over and hurriedly said: "Master, this is the palace newspaper that has just arrived, the emperor decreed, those who leave with a crown will be sentenced to punishment and confiscated family property!"
There are also nuisance stations. ”Huang Zunyi couldn't help but swallow after seeing this newspaper.Gao Shijun was also stunned, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Huang Gong, there is still something to do, farewell!"
”Gao Shijun said and left here in avoidance.Huang Zunyi said at this time: "Let's go, go back to Jiangnan immediately!"
”......
"How is the matter of clearing up the acres of land and strictly investigating the phenomenon of excessive slavery being carried out now?"
”For Emperor Zhu Youxiao, what he needed to pay attention to was the progress of the new policy of the entire imperial court, so he did not ask about the arrest of an official who flouted the discipline of the imperial court and harassed the post station, and at this time he also asked about Fang Congzhe.Fang Congzhe smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and many people, even the officials are countless, and the ministers can only know the sages and fools of the governors, but they don't know the officials below the governors; Therefore, although the central decree of the imperial court has been issued on this matter, the effect of the implementation may take a year or two or even several years, and it all depends on what the officials below the governor can do!
But now it seems that even if the imperial court has passed the examination first, there are still many incompetent officials among the foreign officials, and even the officials who would rather sin the imperial court than the local powerful officials, so the current implementation has little effect. ”"I understand, everything is urgent!""
Speaking of which, there are still too few officials who work for the imperial court, and the governance below the county level can only rely on the gentry in the clan, counting on these people to clear their own acres?
Difficult!
Such a problem was encountered when Nanzhili implemented the Qingzhang Tianmu, and it was necessary for local governors and other officials to fight against it for a period of time; Therefore, it is necessary to increase the functions of the imperial court and increase the official position, the Ming Dynasty is different from the two Song Dynasty, the two Song Dynasty have too many redundant officials, and the Ming Dynasty has too few officials. ”After Zhu Youxiao said, he looked at Fang Congzhe and said: "But Daming is not short of people who are officials, as far as I know, there are still many officials waiting for officials in the ministry, but is there such a thing?"
”Fang Congzhe hurriedly echoed: "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing, but these are all non-Jinshi tribute supervisors, and even officials, and the official positions are not many as Your Majesty said, and after the Jinshi people occupy these official positions, there will naturally be very few officials left for these people." ”"Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of official positions, the edict of the Ministry of Officials, and the next reform of the administration of officials is to expand the number of officials and officials, taking the county as an analogy, in addition to the county and the county, each county will add a number of deputy counties and deputy counties, and live above the specific subordinate officials such as the main book and the canonical history, and be in charge of money and food, prisons, military recruitment, etc., and the main book, the canon and the history will also set up a number of deputy positions, at least one and two deputies, and the state government is the same as the political department."
Zhu Youxiao ordered."
Obey the order!"
Fang Congzhe replied."
Now the North Zhili Gyeonggi area has begun to set up patrol battalions, the effect is remarkable, South Zhili now also set up patrol battalions, with patrol battalions, prisons, public security, arrest and theft these things are all under the management of the patrol battalion, the local patrol department and the torture room are incorporated into the patrol battalion, the patrol battalion at the prefect level set up a patrol bureau at the prefect and the patrol battalion jointly controlled, the prefectures set up patrol bureaus, and the counties set up patrol offices, when the time comes, this can increase the local governance of the imperial court!
Now punish the nuisance of the post station, and issue an order to the military department, and issue an order to the patrol battalions, and directly take all those who violate the law of the country in their own jurisdiction, and don't wait for Dongchang to go!
Dongchang is a big case, and since there is already a patrol battalion, the perpetrators of such local cases, the patrol battalion will be arrested first, and then handed over to the subordinate government!
In addition, those who commit crimes elsewhere and have fled to their own jurisdiction should also be arrested immediately!
”Zhu Youxiao then instructed.…… At this time, Zhou Yuji had already gone to Nanzhili to take up the post of garrison, and became acquainted with a group of officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion in Nanjing.On this day, Zhao Hongsheng, the general in charge of the patrol battalion in Yingtian, suddenly said to Zhou Yuji: "Garrison, the lower official remembers that the newspaper said that Huang Zunyi, the prefect of Baoding, is a criminal wanted by the imperial court now. ”"Prisoner?!"
After hearing this, Zhou Yuji directly ordered: "Take your people and arrest him, Your Majesty has already issued an order, in places where there are patrol camps, this kind of Qin criminal, there is no need to wait for the people from Dongchang to come!"
”"Yes!"
Zhao Hongsheng replied, and immediately shouted to his heralds: "Gather people!"
”Not long after, Zhou Yuji took one of Zhao Hongsheng's people to Xu's spring garden.
