Chapter 770: Be as fair as possible


Chapter 770 is as fair as possible, and the functions of the cabinet continue to be weakened, and power is placed in the government council.In fact, a country can be managed by an emperor who has no ruling experience, just like Chongzhen?

The answer is yes, the harder Chongzhen tries, the easier it is to make mistakes.The Daming that Chongzhen took over was actually a terminally ill patient, and the fierce medicine could not be used, so he could only slowly recuperate.And it's not like most web novels write about, killing all sides, once it provokes a backlash from the gentry, the result is like now.Chongzhen has the power to veto the first assistant of the cabinet, and the first assistant of the cabinet will only make two choices when doing things, or like Shi Fenglai, his ability to implement Fenglai is definitely stronger than Wen Tiren, but Wen Tiren is obedient, and Chongzhen is very satisfied.But is it well governed?

Not only that, but at the most critical moment, he also put Chongzhen together.How many fucking Shoufu has Chongzhen changed over the years?

I'm afraid Chongzhen himself can't remember clearly, and he changed the cabinet like a horse, but in fact, he couldn't solve the problem at all, which is very similar to France.During World War II, France repeatedly changed presidents and prime ministers, but the result was a change of chicken feathers, which made France, once the world's No. 1 army, become the world's No. 1 joke.The only bad thing is that it almost puts the emperor in the air.The only bad thing is that this greatly limits the power of the emperor and almost sets the emperor in the air, but for the Ming Dynasty, this is not a matter at all, the Ming Dynasty has not been set up by the emperor, in fact, there are only a few Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, including Emperor Jiajing, Chongzhen is actually an emperor who has been set up.The emperors of the two Han Dynasty are also often set aside, and it is the norm for emperors in Chinese history to be overthrown, and Quan Xu just legitimized this.When Quan Xu was in Liaodong, he basically did not manage the affairs of the Government Council, he just put forward an idea for the Government Council to improve the implementation, including the reform of grassroots officials, taxation reform, education reform, and military reform.Through a series of government operations in Liaodong, this political system with Ming characteristics allowed Quan Xu not to worry about fatigue, but to deal with everything.Like in Liaodong at the beginning, Shen Mingze, the prime minister, just changed his title, but Shen Mingze also changed many official positions, from the very beginning of the deacon, the speaker, and the dean, now he has just changed the title of prime minister.The Prime Minister of the House of Ministers manages the Cabinet, and the Cabinet has become an extraordinary body, and only when it is time to run for the Prime Minister and national events, all the cabinet members will be called to come and vote for the election.The Ministry of National Defense is only equivalent to a management body, but it is not the highest leadership department of the army, and the leadership and command department of the national army has become the general staff, which is only responsible to the emperor alone, and civilian officials have no right to interfere, especially the prime minister, let alone directly command the army.The Armament Department is responsible for the research and development of weapons for military equipment, the production of weapons and equipment, and the training of equipment technicians, and is directly responsible to the army.If the prime minister needs to mobilize the army, this is impossible, and the emperor needs to be consulted, but the right to transfer and command power is still placed in the General Staff, and the personnel who carry it out have become the military.At the same time, Quanxu only set up 16 standing divisions, and Quanxu also needed to reform in the future, dividing the work of the army into two parts, one part of which was devoted to suppressing rebellions or fighting bandits and robbers, and the other was devoted to dealing with foreign enemies.As for local policing, it is managed by the local militia.The General Staff Department also has a logistics department under its jurisdiction, which requires the logistics units of the national army to mobilize transportation work, and the prime minister also has no right to interfere in this work, and is completely subordinate to the General Staff Headquarters.The rank of the General Staff is parallel to that of the Cabinet, and at the same time parallel to the Ministry of Legislation.The prime minister can manage the affairs of the whole country, but he cannot manage the legislation, even if the law violates the existing situation and needs to change the law, which is a matter for the legislating country.Of course, the reform of the central government is actually not too big, and the important thing is that with regard to the reform of the local government, the chief of the first and the chief of the first security must be elected by the same security officer and the same person, and the number of people who approve the election must be more than half.However, the mayor level needs to be appointed by the county order, and the mayor appointed by the county official must be recognized by the county citizens' representative brigade and the prefect, otherwise it is illegal.This move directly broke the pattern of the imperial power not going to the countryside.In the past, the township level was basically the final say of the local clans, and what the imperial power could manage, at most, was the county level, and the counties below the county level were completely independent kingdoms, and now it won't work if you want to play this set.At the same time, the new policy also stipulates that the mayor of the town has the right to run for the county magistrate, as long as his political performance is good enough to be approved by more than half of the county congress, the prefect can report to the ministry for review, and after the review is passed, he can become a county magistrate.Once it becomes a prefectural order, it is basically a high sky and a wide sea.This one is the heart of the local clan forces, and it has to give people a channel to rise, right?

That is the system of lifelong responsibility of officials, all officials implement a lifelong appointment system, and once the roads, bridges, water conservancy projects, and construction projects built during their tenure of office have problems within 30 years, even if they have resigned, they will be arrested and punished by law!

What if that guy hangs?

Then the father will pay the debt to the son, punish his children to make up the project money, and punish them until they are bankrupt!

The debt of death does not disappear.The last one is for all officials to scold their mothers, regardless of whether they are officials or military attachés, including those above the level of town mayor, must disclose their assets and give a reasonable explanation for the source of the huge amount of property, otherwise they will be regarded as accepting bribes.All officials are obliged to pay personal income tax, and the higher the income, the more they will pay, and the crime of tax evasion and concealment will be added to the level.At the same time, it is also stipulated that officials who accept bribes of more than 100 silver dollars or worth 100 silver dollars will be dismissed, their homes will be confiscated, and they will be exiled overseas.This article almost kills all officials, and the income situation is public, which is called how they accept bribes.For example, a county magistrate, the local per capita annual income is only fifty taels of silver, then the income of the county magistrate is multiplied by the local per capita income, for example, the county magistrate is a seven-grade official, multiplied by five, and the annual salary is two hundred and fifty taels of silver plus job allowance.If it is a prefect-level official, multiply the local per capita income by 10, 500 taels.and at the provincial level, multiply by thirty, and fifteen hundred taels of silver.If officials want to earn more, then increase the local per capita income, and the same high-ranking official, some high-ranking officials can get 1,000 taels a year, some can get 5,000 taels, and may also get 10,000 taels.Why are some officials good, and some poor to get the same money?

How can those mediocre officials get the income of diligent officials?

Widen the gap and quantify management.Of course, to measure the salary of a county order, it is impossible to rely only on per capita income, but also need to have education methods, infrastructure, people's livelihood facilities, including government management, and so on.In general, the income of county-level officials should not be less than 1,000 taels of silver, and if they do a good job, they can be 10,000 taels without a cap.Taking Jinzhou as an example, the per capita annual income of peasants is about 200 taels of silver, so the legal income of Jinzhou Zhizhou is 200 times 6, 1,200 taels of silver.Of course, there are other subsidies that will earn a little more.Overall, it is more than double the income of the original Ming officials.Some people might say, oops, that's too high.I remember that in 09, I saw the salary income of a senior official in a prefecture-level city, which was published in the newspaper, and I remembered that the annual income was less than 30,000 yuan, which was estimated that no one would believe it.If you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grazing.Although the illiteracy rate in Daming is still very high, it is an indisputable fact that the number of people who can read and write in Daming is higher than the total population of a European country.In addition, there is a series of preferential treatment, Xiucai sees that the magistrate does not have to kneel, does not have to pay taxes after the lift, and there is money to care for the silver hair every year, and the high treatment of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty is really enviable.But treating scholars so favorably, there are not many talents, but a bunch of cheats, which can only be said to be a problem with education itself.Of course, it's not that the imperial examination is not good, the Sui and Tang dynasties also implemented the imperial examination system, recruiting talents without sticking to one pattern, and creating a fantastic prosperous dynasty, and the Song and Ming dynasties are also imperial examinations, why not get worse and worse?

The reason is that the things you learn are different, and the things you test are also different.The education of Sui Tang belonged to elite education, and during the imperial examination, astronomy, geography, mathematics, water conservancy, military affairs...

All-encompassing, immersed in these fields for many years, and finally standing out, above the court, are all the elite of the elite.Therefore, at that time, Datang's scientific and technological talents and scientific research achievements accounted for 60% of the world's total, which was really exaggerated.In the Song Dynasty, it became a cramming education by rote, no need to learn those things that make people hurt their brains, as long as they memorize the Confucian classics, they will have the opportunity to be lifted, and the Ming Dynasty's Baguwen pushed this terrible education to a climax.Under this kind of cheating system, there are only a few Confucian classics designated by the imperial court in the world of scholars, and the scientific knowledge that the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties relied on to be strong is beaten into miscellaneous studies and even extreme tricks, and a scholar will definitely be ridiculed if he learns these things.The direct consequence of this kind of education is that the imperial examination selects a group of elm heads who can only memorize and fight with the nest, relying on such a group of people to govern the country, and only if there is no problem, it is called a ghost!

In my heart, the imperial examination system is still a relatively fair system.There is nothing wrong with the system itself, what is problematic is the content of the imperial examination.The content of the imperial examination prepared by Quan Xu will include Chinese, mathematics, physics, chemistry, geometry, politics, biology, and geography, just like later generations.Those who have passed the imperial examination can then study in the party school and be qualified for basic positions.I have a suite at the end of the Ming Dynasty
