As soon as Yu Xin entered the Jinshen Palace, he found that low stools and cases had been set up in the hall, and Yu Xin smiled bitterly at that time.

The emperor has a moth again.

However, the other three were still a little puzzled and misguided.

"Elder Yu Ge, what is this for?"

Xia Yuanji asked, and saw that Yu Xin had already stepped to the first place, sat down, and hurriedly followed, but he didn't dare to sit down.

The emperor hasn't arrived yet, so how dare they sit and wait?

"Sit down."

Yu Xin called the three of them, this kind of scene, at a glance, I knew that when the emperor arrived, he was talking endlessly, and he didn't have the leisure to chat with them, this emperor's temperament and temperament Yu Xin had figured it out, and he would never waste time on useless things when he should talk about business.

As Yu Xin expected, Zhu Yunwen entered the hall in civilian clothes, and before Xia Yuanji and the three of them saw the ceremony, he waved his hand and said, "Don't see the ceremony, sit down quickly." ”

didn't have time to be polite to these people, Zhu Yunwen had already sat back with great interest and took out his small notebook.

His small book has been saved more and more in the past few years, and there are almost a hundred copies, and the one he takes out now has just been written a few days ago since he learned that Tyrant Zhao planned to give him a fortune.

"Regulations on the Application of Ming Officials and Officials, Ding Worries, Suspension, and Expulsion"!

"Today, the old man of the Tyrant Pavilion told the old Zhishi, which reminded me that many of the officials and ministers in the imperial court, many of them have already passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and they want to think about what will happen after they are old."

Zhu Yunwen remembered some key words according to his small notebook, and by extension, when he looked up, he found that several people were looking at him and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't look at me, there are no flowers on my face, write them down." ”

All four of them smiled bitterly, shook their wrists, picked up their pens, and began to prepare for copying.

Didn't you say that we should be called to consult together? You liar, great dictator!

"The elder of the Storm Pavilion is sixty-five years old this year, so let's float and formulate it according to this standard in the future."

Zhu Yunwen said that the four of them and Yang Pu, who accompanied the emperor, were all remembering.

"In the future, those who have a 65th birthday and other first-rank officials such as the bachelor of the palace and the governor of the five military governments can take the initiative to propose to the officer, and they will automatically leave office after the age of 70, and the court will give them a salary every year, and the amount will be 20% of the amount when they are in office.

Those over 65 years old will automatically step down, and the court will give them a salary of 30% when they are in office.

The fourth and fifth grades will automatically retire at the end of their lives and sixty years, and they will be forty percent when they are in office.

Below the fifth grade, he will automatically retire at the end of his life span at the age of 60, and he will be fifty percent when he is in office.

Below the seventh grade, he will automatically leave office at the age of 55, and he will not be in the same age.

The officials of the ministry and the prefecture and county will automatically leave office at the age of 50 and will not be in the same year. ”

is fifty-five years old and still can't mix with a county magistrate, which means that he has no ability to fart, and he still has a pension? Let's eat fart, the court doesn't raise idlers, leave the post early, give up the position to useful people, and go home to farm.

And the fifth to seventh ranks, most of them are prefects, county orders and other local officials, and most of the Beijing officials are Langzhong, Yuanwailang and other officials, similar to the directors of later ministries and commissions, all have specific affairs to do, and the affairs are cumbersome and the salary is not high, generally to the age of sixty, even if you are not tired to death, there are no years to live, and it is good to rest early to take care of the days and years, and receive a few years of stable food and wait for death.

As for the fourth-rank and fifth-rank officials, they have a certain amount of real power, or they are deputy officials in the provinces, giving some pensions, and the provincial officials are doing evil in the local area.

The second and third grades are equivalent to the ministers of various ministries and the chief officials of a province in later generations, considering that the Ming Dynasty only has six ministries and thirteen provinces, and the power is many times greater than that of later generations, it must also be taken care of.

There's nothing to say about a product, everyone understands it.

Yu Xin and Xia Yuanji glanced at each other, and they both calculated the account clearly in their hearts for the first time.

The pyramid is always the bottom of the largest base, seven grades below and the officials do not with the Zhi Shi year, then the largest expenditure is missing, the Ming Dynasty, but there are more than 1,000 counties and hundreds of prefectures, guards and other establishments, officials at least 100,000 people, save their annual salary, then this additional expenditure will not be too big.

Based on the current annual salary of 13 million taels of silver, the annual pension of the central government in the future should be between 100 and 2 million taels, which is completely acceptable.

"After the decision is settled, let's talk about Ding Wei."

As soon as Zhu Yunwen's words changed, the four of them jumped eyebrows.

Ding Wei system from the Han Dynasty, in the final analysis, is still the Confucian set of "filial piety" content, advocating officials as an example of the people, should fulfill filial piety, including the two Han Dynasty recommended as officials, born is also called "filial piety." ’

At the beginning of the Ding worry system, it was March, that is, 100 days, and then it was seven months and thirteen months after the funeral of the family, and then the big guy was troublesome, so he simply extended the time of Ding Wei: three years!

It is said that it is three years, but in fact it is only twenty-seven months, so don't get confused.

Why is 27 months to be called three years, the reason is that the first three years of the child's birth are inseparable from the support of the parents, and naturally after the death of the parents, they must keep filial piety for three years, as for why it is only 27 months, this point can be thousands of words, it is really not so cheeky, everyone will check it for themselves.

After the Han Dynasty, the Ding worry system became more and more deviated, in addition to the death of his grandparents and parents, even the death of his brothers and sisters also had to worry about Ding worry, but the time was not uniform, and it did not take three years as long, but there was always one to three months. Many officials who have been officials for 20 years may have been busy worrying for more than ten years!

Zhu Mingzu instructed the Ming Dynasty to govern the country with filial piety, and has always been very supportive of Ding Wei's affairs, allowing officials to keep filial piety after the death of his grandparents and parents, but in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, although this matter is attached to filial piety, it is simply a waste of national strength!

Because when the official was in the Ding Worry period, the court wanted to give him half of the amount when he was in office.

"Half a year is given."

This is the record left by Hongwu Nian.

And the official Ding Wei is gone, what if his position is vacant? The imperial court still has to choose materials to fill the position, and this Ding Wei official left his post because of filial piety, which is not considered a crime, and what if his official status cannot be canceled?

When Ding Wei returns to the local provincial government or the ministry to report at the end of the period, the imperial court will arrange a seat for him, and if there is no seat at the same level, he will be promoted to a half-level arrangement, and if there is no half-level position, he will wait, and wait until the first vacant seat will be arranged.

It's like a criminal department of the fifth grade Lang Zhong went home to worry about it, and after coming back, he waited for three months, and waited until a rite department was the first vacant from the position of the fourth grade, then this official went to the Ministry of Rites to be an official.

It's ridiculous!

And the most unacceptable thing for Zhu Yunwen is that Hong Wunian has an unlucky guy who has been worried for twelve years in a row!

Grandparents and parents died of illness one after another, and when he went back and forth to mourn, when this thing returned to the court to report on his work, the officials of the Ministry of Officials didn't know him!

"The Ding worry system must be changed."

Zhu Yunwen said unceremoniously: "Emperor Taizu, as the father of the people of the world, only kept the filial piety of the hundred officials and the people for three days when he was in Bintian, and he and the princes only kept it for a hundred days.

Taizu did this because he hoped that the officials of the world would devote themselves to state affairs, and not be empty for him, and the court would neglect the government, Taizu's love for the people can be seen by the sun and the moon, and I naturally hope that the officials in the world can learn from Taizu.

Since he is an official, he is the 'parent' of the people, if everyone is in the midst of the people's misery for the sake of their own filial piety, is this still worthy of being an official?

I want to change this rule, and the time for Ding Wei is according to my standards, 100 days! During the period of Ding Wei, the imperial court gave him all the money, and his position was temporarily filled by the deputy, and no other person was selected, and he was directly reinstated to his post after Ding Wei was over. ”

According to the emperor's standards, Ding worried!

Now you have no temper, what Zhu Yunwen said makes sense.

Don't you all keep saying that the emperor is the father of the people of the world, when Emperor Taizu was in the sky, you only kept filial piety for three days, why did your father have to keep it for three years?

What's wrong? The emperor's father is not a father?

Heaven and earth monarch teacher, Emperor Lao Tzu in front of your father, this order is also set by you, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, loyalty in front of filial piety, this is also set by yourself.

What else to say?
