Killing tens of thousands of people in order to govern the officials?

It sounds like a fantasy, those group leaders in history, some are willing to kill tens of thousands of people for the scourge of witchcraft, some are willing to kill tens of thousands of people for rebellion, and some are willing to fight for factions and kill tens of thousands of emperors, but there are no ones who are willing to kill tens of thousands of people for the sake of the rulers!

Not to mention tens of thousands of people, involving dozens of officials, it will be a "rat bogey", involving hundreds of people, only the head of the evil will be punished, involving thousands of people, they simply dare not move, or even unwilling to move, to comfort themselves with "the water is clear and there are no fish".

In 1774 AD, that is, the 39th year of Qianlong, the first major corruption and pollution case in the Qing Dynasty, the Gansu Relief Case began, and all officials in Gansu Province collectively divided the disaster funds in the name of disaster relief every year, no one was not greedy, no one reported, for as long as seven years, the court above did not know anything about this matter!

In the end, it was forced that the local Salar people "Su 43" revolted against the Qing Dynasty, which led to the revelation of this major case.

What is the final result of such a horrific case?

As a result, in the end, the officials of all sizes who were "involved", that is, 113 people, and the collective behavior of the entire Gansu officialdom, only 113 people were dealt with in the end!

Only 47 people were put to death.

And to Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, "from now on, those who commit dirty crimes will not slack off", in the eighth year of Hongwu, he ordered that all officials who committed dirty crimes be demoted to Fengyang's hometown to do farm work, only in the ninth year of Hongwu, there were nearly 10,000 officials who farmed in Fengyang, most of them were greedy officials.

These should be relatively minor offenders, those big officials, such as the case of Guo Huan, the head of the household department, who stole and sold official food, involved senior officials such as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the criminal department, the waiter of the Ministry of War, and the waiter of the Ministry of Industry.

Not only that, but even the officials below the rank of squire of the six ministries were all executed, and tens of thousands of officials involved in various political envoys were arrested and imprisoned and severely punished; countless officials and tycoons involved in this extraordinarily serious corruption and corruption case were raided and executed throughout the country.

These numbers sound heart-wrenching on paper, not to mention how much pressure should Zhu Yuanzhang have in the face of this situation at that time?

But that's what he did, and if you dare to be greedy, I'll kill you!

Lin Mu admired Zhu Yuanzhang, especially admired him, and never said in his eyes, "For the sake of overall stability, tolerate one or two corruption cases, let the water muddy a little, anyway, there is no harm in the short term", that is the Lord who really puts the interests of the people first.

Some people may ask, won't he kill like this, won't it cause turmoil in the court and chaos in the world?

Not really!

During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Heqing Haiyan and the people were happy.

Zhu Yizun of the Qing Dynasty included a poem that reflected the social and people's livelihood of Zhu Yuanzhang's time, "The mountain city is sunny, and the mountain birds are singing." Business travel, farmer farming. The old tile pot is full of wine, and the clamor is suddenly silent", which is in stark contrast with Liu Zongyuan's "The Snake Catcher Says", "The fierce officials come to my hometown, shouting from east to west, and from north to south, and the uproar is terrifying, although the chickens and dogs are not at ease".

Even the compiler of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", Zhang Qianyu, an official of the Qing Dynasty, also highly respected the rule of officials during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, and when the Qing Dynasty was about to turn the Ming Dynasty into a dog, he could not help but recognize the effectiveness of Zhu Yuanzhang's rule in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not discredit it, and it is estimated that he was also envious and jealous in his heart, so he could only blacken him in the appearance of Lao Zhu, and looked at the "dog slave" YY in the court.

No way, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, more than 60 years of rule of Qingming, put in the entire history of the world, it is also unique, proud of the past and the present, under the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang, it is very risky to be an official, but when you are a common person, it is indeed a good profession.

In addition to the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen's waste of great ambition and talent, harming the country and the people, other Ming Chengzu, Renzong, and Xuanzong all learned from the inheritance, and continued to purify the officialdom, and also achieved the prosperity of "Yongle Governance" and "Renxuan Governance", the so-called "Kangqian Prosperous Age" This is simply a scum in front of these two brothers.

Of course, such a method of governing officials, officials will definitely not like it, and the reputation of these two prosperous eras of the Ming Dynasty is not obvious, which can be regarded as the credit of these officials.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the emperor was more mediocre, the means of governing the officials were a little weaker, and the officials were a little more indulgent, which inevitably caused the decline of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang let everyone see a result, a result of anti-corruption and corruption at all costs, he told all the descendants that strict punishment and strict law can really make the country prosperous and stable, even if you kill 10,000 greedy officials, you don't have to worry about being useless, because there are countless people behind, even if they see the miserable situation of their predecessors, they have to sharpen their heads to become officials......

……

Lin Mu thought about these things about Zhu Yuanzhang, and was fascinated for a while.

He really couldn't imagine what the social status quo of a country that had maintained a clear rule for 60 years would be like, and he couldn't imagine what kind of prosperous era would be created if the later emperors had not been so wasteful and had continued Zhu Yuanzhang's methods of governing officials......

Although he knew that Lao Zhu's methods were too cruel and poisonous, he should be submissive, at least let those who want to be good officials tell Yulu that he can feed his family, and under the butcher's knife in his hand, there is no shortage of unjust souls crying.

However, Lin Mu just admires Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, there is no perfect person, who can do this, Zhu Yuanzhang is already enough to be called the first emperor of the ages.

Thinking of such a ruler, Lin Mu looked at the old version of "Yitian" that was torn up in front of him, and there was no pity anymore.

Lin Mu decided that after drinking this jar of wine, he would go to the "Ming Dynasty District" in "Heaven and Earth" to take a look, although there was no map of "under the rule of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty", but it is estimated that after the plot of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" was developed, the original map of the end of the Yuan Dynasty would be transferred to Zhu Yuanzhang's rule.

Just think about it.

After taking a sip of wine, Lin Mu calmed down, and picked up the latest version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" next to him.

This is a revised version of Jin Daxia's previous life, and the revised content involves countless aspects, those large and small bugs, in this book, have been improved, and even as small as a letter from the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau at that time.

Of course, what Lin Mu paid the most attention to was the revision of the end of "Yitian".

seems to have been scolded miserably, Jin Daxia deleted the plot of "Zhu Yuanzhang used medicine to charm Zhang Wuji and make him disheartened and leave" in the new version of "Yitian".
