Liang Jun is very nostalgic for the time when the official could casually beep in the court and act as a-stirring stick, making the cabinet and the six ministries and even the 24 yamen of the inner court unstable.But now it doesn't work, although the six section officials can still spray, but they can't spray casually, and the cabinet has been clearly given the power to supervise the six sections.Therefore, now the six branch officials don't dare to beep blindly.Liang Jun therefore only said: "I don't believe that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are really willing to abide by these rules, like being asked by a saint, do you think the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can stand it?"
”"I heard that the moral construction that has nothing to do with crime is drawn up by Yuanfu, and today's Yuanfu advocates that it is strict with scholars, requiring scholars to abide by etiquette and correct style, so a series of moral requirements are put forward for scholars, the higher the authority, the higher the requirements, the princes and ministers of the same product and the same product, even the rules that are not allowed to speak foully, not allowed to fight, and not allowed to gamble!
On the contrary, there are no requirements for the people, except for those related to the monarchy, the people can trespass as they want. ”Yang Ming replied.Liang Yan sighed and said, "In the final analysis, this is all the poison caused by the emperor's eldest son's meanness and widowhood!"
If it weren't for the eldest son of the emperor, the imperial court would not have been so eager to ban extravagance!
”"Therefore, the benevolent lord is rare, I used to think that the king of faith was credible, and the performance of the king of faith in Shaanxi was very disappointing, and now I think that the eldest son of the emperor can be the lord of the world, but now it seems that he is also a cold-blooded person."
Yang Ming echoed.......
"God gave birth to me in this Zhongding family, so that I can live a rich and glorious life, not let me be managed by him Liu Hongxun like a saint!"
”Huang Jiuding, the middle marquis of Xungui Luo, was also angry after reading the newly promulgated edict.These nobles will still undertake the task of sacrificing important mausoleums for the emperor, and some of them still hold important positions in the army, so they will often make some tolerances, and naturally they will also have the opportunity to eat and take cards, and spend public money, but now, he did not expect that the imperial court would directly stipulate that if they were to spend extravagantly when they were on a mission, they would have to compensate for the expenses if they were found out, and even be fined, or even dismissed from their posts.Therefore, Huang Jiuding was very angry."
Sir!
Peng Yao, the official of the Ministry of Rites, has played a concert to impeach our Hou Mansion for trespassing, and the gate court has built the specifications of the national public, and now there is a Jinyi guard in charge of this matter to come to investigate, what should we do?
”At this time, Huang Jiuding's porter came to report something.After hearing this, Huang Jiuding said quite depressedly: "What else can I do, change it immediately, go to the craftsman, first tear down the gate and rebuild it, let the people of Jinyiwei come in, let them see, what are the other places that are encroaching, let's change it!"
”"Yes!"
Although Huang Jiuding was dissatisfied with Liu Hongxun doing this, he did not dare to disobey the edict, so he still cooperated honestly.…… It didn't take long.Localities have also received edicts on the investigation of shortfalls, the strengthening of work style, and the prohibition of extravagant consumption by officials.According to the rumors of Yu Shilu, after receiving this edict, Huguang Patrol was at a post station, drinking and chatting with several officials, and also eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, accompanied by prostitutes and the like.Lu Ruyan felt a big headache because of this, and said in his heart: "This is all the result of the emperor's eldest son's non-cooperation!"
”"Duke Lu, the current edict of the imperial court to exempt Tian Fu forever, although it is the first good governance in the ages, but this makes those of us who are magistrates, and the servants below, life is not as good as before!"
At this time, Gu Hongwen, the prefect of Huangzhou, who entertained him, did not know about the imperial court's strict investigation of deficits and strengthening the construction of work style, but still complained to Lu about the imperial court's policy of forever exempting Tian Fu.Although the government of permanent exemption from land endowment is beneficial to the landlords and the common people, it is not conducive to the local government and officials.Because the local government and the officials could not collect benefits by colluding with the gentry to change the field register.Therefore, for the local government and the officials, there is one less opportunity to take this opportunity to exploit the people.Lu Yanyan nodded and asked, "What do you say?"
”"Originally, it was enough for those of us who were local officials to be unable to use the people's power at will, and benefit one party, but now it's good, and the land is also exempted, and we don't even take any agricultural money, but in the event of a disaster, we have to take our own money and grain out for relief, what's going on, the government has completely become the official government of farmers, and only exploits businessmen?"
He Jiamo, a local gentleman, replied.His He family was already a commercial gentry, and the income from land and grain accounted for a small proportion of his family industry, and he could also erase this bit of land endowment by colluding with the government to revise the land register, and even by colluding with the government, he could get more profits by reselling the official grain after the government received new grain.But now, due to the increase in overseas colonial income and the increase in industrial taxes brought about by industrial development, the imperial court has completely exempted the land tax, which has made them, the gentry who do evil, lose the opportunity to collude with the government and make profits.Therefore, although a gentleman like He Jiamo is a big landowner, he is not very grateful because the court will never be exempted from land endowments.Therefore, under the instruction of Gu Hongwen, He Jiamo took out a huge amount of vote and said: "This is the money bank ticket of the Satsuma Domain, worth 50,000 silver dollars, and I also ask Lu Gongneng to tell the court about this matter, hoping that the court will withdraw the policy of forever exempting Tian Fu, and leave a favor for the kings of future generations!"
When it is done, we will give another 50,000!
”"It's hard to find a reason."
Lu Ruyan replied, and said: "But this official will write a book for you, as for whether to listen to it or not, it depends on the will of heaven." ”After Lu Ruyan finished speaking, he got up and said, "Remove this seat!"
I don't have to live in the Xianglou tonight, go back to the post station to live, and in addition, next, the public food provided to me in your house will be changed to three dishes and one soup!
”"Why is that?"
Gu Hongwen hurriedly asked."
Why do you say?
The imperial court has just issued an edict, and those above the fifth grade can only eat three dishes and one soup at the post station, and if they exceed it, they will drop the black gauze hat, starting from the time of replying to the telegram!
I have to go back tonight, or I will be called lazy!
Also, you must strictly check the shortfall, prepare in your house, make up for it as soon as possible, and don't cheat!
This patrol press will first say the ugly words first, and this time there will be no mercy. ”Lou rumored.Gu Hongwen became anxious after hearing this: "This, this, why is this all of a sudden, the good ones still have to check the deficit, how to check?"
”"All provinces, governments, prefectures, and counties self-check and report according to the truth, and then compensate the previous officials according to the situation reported by the previous ones, and if they do not report according to the truth, they will compensate themselves, and then patrol the imperial history to verify, and also report according to the truth, if they also follow the false report, they will be convicted of being convicted together!"
Lu replied.After Gu Hongwen heard this, she couldn't help but say: "Now it seems that you really have to check it carefully." ”"How so!"
At this time, the gentleman He Jiamo said a word, and then fainted directly.Because he had been an official in Sichuan, and he knew better how much he had caused a deficit when he was in office.Now, after the imperial court issued such a decree, it will undoubtedly mean that he will have the disaster of raiding his family.Travel through the Ming Dynasty as a tyrant
