Chapter 41: Daming Version of Political School (1)

The news that Zhu Di entered Beijing and was reappointed as the chief of the general staff of the General Staff Office, and the news that Jinan Wei commanded Sheng Yong to serve as the commander of Beiping caused a sensation in the Ming Dynasty at this time was unique.

First of all, in terms of clan relatives, King Yan pleaded guilty, but was not punished by Zhu Yunwen as everyone had guessed before, but became the nominal military supreme commander of the Ming Dynasty at this time, which made the vassal kings of the world even more convinced that Zhu Yunwen was the king of leniency.

In the imperial court, the three pavilions also breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor cut off the largest Yan domain without using troops, and the days of peace in the world could at least be several more years. For a time, although the whole world was shocked by this matter and there were many discussions, the political situation was very stable.

As for Yao Guangxiao, this monk suffered a full 3,000 knives before he died, and Zhu Yunwen personally supervised the punishment, but he couldn't hold on until he was halfway through, and he returned to the palace and vomited for several days.

"This kind of torture is intolerable, and it should be abolished from now on."

This may be regarded as the only contribution Yao Guangxiao made to the progress of Daming's punishment, and I don't know if Yao Guangxiao should cry or laugh after he died, knowing that he became the last criminal in Daming to be executed by Ling Chi.

Zhu Di handed over a roster, all of which were the dark stakes and eyeliner he had left in the government and the opposition over the years, and the internal list of the princes of each clan, but Zhu Yunwen didn't even look at it in front of the former, so he burned it.

"Now that the Haiyan River is clear, why do you need to regenerate incidents."

As the culprit, Zhu Di was not held accountable, and the rebellious ministers on this list, how could Zhu Yunwen sacrifice the butcher's knife again, causing panic in the world. Since the world needs Renjun, he has to play this role well now.

More importantly, he doesn't have time to change the courtiers now, Zhu Di bowed his head, marking that the plan to cut the feudal domain has achieved a milestone victory, and the progress behind will only be smooth sailing, and he has to devote his energy to the next plan.

Zhu Yunwen doesn't know how many years he can be the emperor, but he must be enough to live a long life, and people are easy to faint when they are old.

Zhu Yunwen planned to spend five to six years to cut down the feudal domain, and try to complete it by peaceful means, because the vassal king had an army in his hands, more or less, Zhu Yunwen didn't want a civil war, so he had to plan it slowly.

It's that everyone has a dream, and after cutting the feudal domain, he can find something for these feudal kings to do what they like, for example, Zhu Di is good at fighting, and Zhu Yunwen gave him the position of chief of the general staff.

"All the military orders in the world are out of the General Staff Office, and the fourth uncle is the marshal who commands the world, and the annual salary is tentatively set at 10,000 stones."

Zhu Yunwen has not abolished the patriarchal law, the prince has a fixed annual salary every year, that is, 10,000 stones, and now Zhu Di has added the position of chief of general staff, Zhu Yunwen has added another 10,000 stones to him, so that Zhu Di's annual salary has been as high as 20,000 stones.

This is another preparation of Zhu Yunwen for cutting the feudal domain in the future, the future Zhu Ming clan relatives, it is impossible to receive money from the treasury as soon as they are born, if you do not hold public positions in the imperial court, you can't contribute to the world, you can't get any salary.

The complete separation of the treasury from the clan is also to prepare for the integration of officials, gentlemen and peasants in the future, and when the patriarchal law is abolished in the future, Zhu Di will have to pay a tax of 10,000 stone with an annual salary of 10,000 stones!

After settling Zhu Di in a game of chess, Zhu Yunwen hurried to the Wenhua Hall at the end of the month.

Because Zhu Yunwen didn't like the previous dynasty, he changed the day to a month, and the affairs of the court and the central government were all handled by the cabinet.

On the last two days of each month, the cabinet works in the Wenhua Hall and convenes officials from the Six Ministries, the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, and the Dali Temple to hold a month-end summary meeting similar to that of later generations in the Wenhua Hall.

The first is to review the expenditure schedule of the thirteen provinces in the current month, such as where to build roads, canals, and embankments.

The second is the inspection, reporting and appointment recommendation of officials, and the big guys will discuss a charter together, and wait until the court meeting at the beginning of the month to submit it to Zhu Yunwen.

Centralized office, promote the simplification and convenience of administrative orders. The province, like the previous dynasties, had a major event of sesame mung beans, and everyone had their own camps and parties in the court.

Therefore, when Zhu Yunwen arrived, the Wenhua Hall was very lively, plus the six departments, two law divisions, and one Hanlin Xuezheng, more than 100 people in Wuyang were busy reviewing a copy of the script, and from time to time enthusiastically issued their own words.

"Quanzhou Salt City has been open for three months, and the salt tax has been collected by 1.68 million taels, and the Fujian political envoy has asked to expand the scale of the salt market."

"Fu: The cabinet has approved." Yu Xin said without raising his head, "The tax and silver do not have to be paid to the national treasury, Fujian retains it, encourages the increase in production and expansion of the salt market, and stabilizes the salt price in the northwest as soon as possible, so that by the middle of next year, the salt price in the northwest will be reduced to 30 wen per catty." ”

At this time, the price of salt in Nanjing was only about 20 wen per catty, which was quite cheap, but the price of salt in Gansu was as high as 65 wen, which was nearly three times that of Beijing, which was really expensive.

"The Liaodong Weaving Bureau was established ten days ago, and the first batch of wool obtained from the border market trade has begun to be processed, and the Ministry of Industry has received the book, please set the price."

"How much has the price of cloth set by the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau."

"Twenty cents for cloth, seven cents for brocade, and one or two taels for silk."

"Fu: The cabinet proposes to tentatively set three cents, which will rise and fall according to the approval of the people."

Zhu Yunwen hid in the corridor of the side hall and watched, nodded with satisfaction from time to time, and said to Shuangxi beside him, "Yi Zhen said, this is very good, the big guy focuses on dealing with state affairs, so there is no time to form a party for personal gain." ”

Shuangxi flattered, "The world is public, all because of the saint's arrival." ”

Zhu Yunwen laughed, "I don't dare to be a saint, it's far away." ”

Zhu Yunwen was happy, and the sound was also heard in the hall, and when he looked for the sound, he suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, "The ministers knocked on my emperor's holy bow." ”

Zhu Yunwen moved into the main hall, "Get up, I'm bored in the harem, come out for a walk." ”

Sange got up, "I don't know what your majesty has to say." ”

"I didn't have an edict, but I was idle, and I thought of the Hanlin scholars and politicians in the Wenhua Palace." Zhu Yunwen walked to the first place and sat down, overlooking the ministers, "Since I founded the Hanlin academic and political system, the big guys have also been involved in the governor's affairs for more than a year, and they can be released, so I plan to take the school exam, so that the local government can learn from the center as soon as possible, simplify the government decrees, and facilitate governance." I don't know what the opinions of the three ministers are. ”

More than 100 people in the hall were stunned, and the release of Hanlin students to become officials was the only way for scholars to pursue their political careers, but since the emergence of the position of Hanlin Xuezheng, there are not many people looking forward to the release of Hanlin Academy.

The Ming Imperial Examination, the scholar in the Jinshi, entered the Hanlin Academy for the compilation first, and was promoted to the Hanlin Bachelor, or released to the county official.

After Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, since the early years of the Zhan Shifu and the Hanlin Academy, a group of talented followers of the cabinet, named Hanlin Xuezheng, the promotion route of the Ming scholars has changed, and they are all looking forward to becoming Hanlin Xuezheng, one day they can be like Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi and the two of them, hang up the title of assistant scholar, it is a direct ticket to the cabinet and a very popular minister.

However, since the emperor Chrysostom was opened, everyone had no choice but to accept the order.

"What's going on? It seems that everyone's interest is not high. ”

Zhu Yunwen laughed, "I have a word first, this matter was decided after careful consideration, this time the school examination, although it is only a group of Hanlin scholars and politicians in the school, but it happens that everyone is there, so let's take the school together, if the school is not passed, I will pick a side hall in the palace, and wait with me, let's learn again." ”

Does the emperor still have the problem of being a good teacher?

The big officials who were already ranked among the officials of the six departments suddenly looked like bitter melons, it's over, Emperor Laozi is trying to find fault.

Listening to this meaning, if you fail the school examination, you will be dismissed.

"Of course, if you pass the exam, I will write it down here." Zhu Yunwen glanced at the ministers, "Promotion and promotion, give priority, and in the future, the magistrates will also come to participate in the school examination." ”

Each level has something that should be learned at each level, Zhu Yunwen followed the old leader, and rose all the way, and there were many classes in the party school, so he naturally knew the importance of this party school.

As soon as they heard that they could be given priority in promotion after passing the examination, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled with their eyebrows, "Please give me a question." ”

Who do you look down on, our big guys are all from Jinshi, and they also came out of the mountains and seas back then, what questions have not been done, no matter how good the emperor is, after all, he is in his twenties, how much ink can he have in his stomach.

"My first question: What is land annexation?"

As soon as Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth, he threw out two big thunders, "My second question: What is the national dynasty?" ”
