Chapter 130: Corruption perverts the law

After Xu Da conquered Shanxi, he also arranged for some people to mine coal, and those coal mining workers inserted bamboo tubes into the coal mine to discharge the toxic gas, and then dug out the coal basket by basket.

It's just that with the efficiency of coal mining now, most of these coals are not available to these people, and the families and officials are waiting to use it, not to mention that the Ministry of Industry also has a great demand for coal.

Coal is known as black gold, industrial food, and when the world recovers, Zhu Biao will definitely increase the mining of coal mines, and the coal resources of Daming are still very rich.

However, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, and the people still use charcoal from the stove, so large-scale charcoal burning is also necessary.

This is not so difficult, as long as there are many people, charcoal is still relatively easy to make, and there will be no shortage of wood along the way.

There are many things, and Zhu Biao has never worried about heating in winter in his two lives. Needless to say, the afterlife. It is in the high-walled courtyard of Zhu Biaosheng in this world, the white fox fur when you come out, and the charcoal on the stove when you enter, and there is not only a warm jade to warm the bed when you sleep, but also a soup woman who changes once an hour.

The princes and nobles don't have to do anything in winter except to raise fat, and for those people, winter is their most difficult day, they can't do anything, the family can only eat the little rations of the autumn harvest, and the family is cold and hungry together, for fear that an illness will take the family away.

Zhu Biao sighed, didn't look down, he really didn't know how high he was standing. If Zhu Biao is an ordinary little nobleman, according to his character, it is estimated that he will only live this rich and noble life honestly, change the world, and cook as many bowls of rice as he has the appetite.

But in this life, he became the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Biao felt that he had some responsibility for his people, and this feeling was not born from birth, but as Zhu Biao grew up.

He has received extremely delicate care since he was a child, and he has grown up with fine clothes and food, but he doesn't think it's strange, after all, aren't all children in later generations like this?

But as Zhu Biao's eyes fell from his own small world to this world, Zhu Biao felt a great contrast, there were too many living people who were starved to death and froze to death, and too many children did not even have the opportunity to grow up.

Song Lian and other scholars are expecting him to create a prosperous era of literature and Taoism, so that they can leave their names in history.

The old nobles are expecting him to inherit the throne safely, so that their children and grandchildren can follow the wealth of the world and retire with the country.

The young Xungui and others all hoped that Zhu Biao would be ambitious, and after ascending the throne, he would continue to send troops to the east and west, so that these generals could show their skills and win a higher status.

The people hoped that Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty would ensure that they had a piece of land to cultivate, and they could safely exchange their strength for food to support their families.

This is the pressure on Zhu Biao's body, but it is not heavy, because no one can force him, and everyone only has expectations for him.

Compared with that person, Zhu Biao can be said to be extremely happy, and no one can force him to do anything, the same is poetry, didn't Li Qi also want to force him to make a poem, what is the result?

Zhu Biao didn't want to do it, Li Qi was also a dignified prince, and he didn't want to kneel down and ask Zhu Biao for forgiveness, but that one, the poem was also done, but he still died violently...

As soon as Zhu Biao took a sip of the tea brought by Da Shuang'er, he saw Liu Jin walking in with some eagerness.

After Liu Jin saluted Zhu Biao, he said: "Master, something happened, just now that Wang Yizheng went to the Shengshang Imperial Study to play, impeaching Yang Siyi, the household servant, for corrupting the law and conniving at the officials who collected land taxes to oppress the good. ”

Zhu Biao frowned, it is common for household officials to be impeached for corruption and perverting the law, and no one is immune to this process.

However, since the imperial history feels that it is in the imperial study, it means that he does have the evidence, and this matter is not small, Yang Siyi is Lu Yong's henchman, and it is estimated that there will be a large number of officials if this matter is big.

Zhu Biao was a little irritable, the imperial examination was about to take place, and his big wedding, and then there was the matter of moving people from Shanxi, these things were annoying enough.

Liu Jin continued: "The Holy Lord is furious, and has summoned all the officials above the fourth rank to rush to the Fengtian Hall immediately. ”

Zhu Biao was stunned, more than four grades?

Zhu Biao thought about it and wanted to get up and walk towards Fengtian Palace, and Liu Jin and the others hurriedly followed.

Since it is corrupt and perverts the law, it is to accept the filial piety of the lower levels and condone the officials to oppress the good, that is, the petty officials below have used disgraceful means when collecting the land grain tax.

Last time, Zhu Biao discussed with his father about the promotion of officials, and Zhu Yuanzhang also relieved himself that he would mention some in the future this year, but Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing.

Zhu Biao has already revealed the rumors of this matter. It's just to tell the officials not to hit the knife at this time.

The last time Zhu Biao helped the officials intercede to improve their income, it was because their income was indeed a little low, and if they didn't make some extra money, it would not be a strange thing for the whole family to drink the northwest wind.

What is the salary of his father to the officials, 1044 stone rice a year for a first-class officer, decreasing downward, and only 90 stone rice a year in Zhengqipin Zhixian County.

Although it belongs to grassroots cadres, it is the foundation of the country to live in peace - Gaiqi is not only to implement the central principles and policies, laws and regulations; Ensure the completion of the annual task of collecting money and grain taxes and maintaining local security and political stability.

The magistrate is the "parent official" of the local people, and it is also the largest official that the local people can see, so his political performance, whether he is honest or not, and even his personality and talent, etc., can be regarded as playing the role of the "image ambassador" of the imperial court.

Even Zhu Biao felt sorry for them, under his father, he was not only the county magistrate, but also the president of the county court, the chief prosecutor of the procuratorate, the director of the finance bureau, the director of the tax bureau, the director of the industrial and commercial bureau, and the captain of the county construction team.

After working so hard for a month to earn more than seven stones, he is simply a diligent old scalper, who eats grass, leaves blood, and milk.

A magistrate manages so many things, it is inevitable to reward the small officials below, or who is willing to work for you, as the saying goes, the king of Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult, and no one will work for you seriously if there is no reward or benefit.

What's more, he still has a large number of long-term followers under him, divided into the rank of uncle and second master. The uncle has the door master (the gatekeeper), the manuscript sign uncle (the ink grinding in the signing room), and below is a group of two masters, including "hair trial", "duty hall", "with the seal" and others, these people are the office staff in the county signing room, in addition, the county's important departments will send people to watch, and the county will also bring their own cooks and masters.

This large group of people are all subordinates of the county officials, and they all have to be supported by him. There are only 7.5 stone of Yulu a month, so everyone has to drink the northwest wind.

Besides, who would be willing to be a magistrate, naturally you have to climb up, you have to give some gifts when you ask to see your boss, you can't come to the door empty-handed, so the official has to be sent to, and walk around during the New Year's holidays, it is far from enough.

Zhu Biao had already walked all the way to the Fengtian Hall at this time, and as soon as he arrived at the door, a eunuch saluted and invited him in.

Zhu Biao nodded, tidied up his sleeves slightly, and then stepped through the gate of Fengtian Palace, now it is obviously the time when the weather is sultry, Zhu Biao seems to feel a trace of coolness the moment he steps in, I don't know if it is a psychological effect.

Zhu Biao's face was a little serious, and the slight bulge between his eyebrows could make people feel his dissatisfaction instantly.

This is also a normal performance when the prince of the court heard that someone was corrupt and bent the law, Zhu Biao's eyes swept away, the Fengtian Hall was a little empty, the number of people was far less than when he went to the court, all the ministers did not speak out loud, Yang Sicheng, the head of the household, knelt in the middle, and Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the throne above, leaned on the dragon chair with his eyes closed.

As Zhu Biao sat in, the ministers on both sides turned around and bowed to Zhu Biao, neither of them spoke, but Zhu Biao could feel that they hoped that the prince would save the scene. In particular, Tobe Shangshu, he bent over the longest time.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had his eyes closed, and suddenly understood something, nodded slightly, walked to the front and knelt down towards his father: "Sons and ministers see their father, long live your father, long live your father." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't open his eyes, but just said: "Calm down." ”

Zhu Biao stood up silently and walked up the sixth-story imperial stairs from the side road, bowed towards Zhu Yuanzhang, and then faced the ministers.

Zhu Biao glanced at the group of royal historians behind Liu Bowen with clean sleeves and a righteous face.

Although they were not of the fourth grade, they were the plaintiffs after all, and even if they were not allowed in, they would make noise outside the Fengtian Temple.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was helpless to them, who let when he was choosing the imperial history, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to find those nerd Mr. Daoxue and admit death to do this business, because this job offends people and can't make money, and Mr. Daoxue is the most suitable person.

Secondly, in the method of small to large, these imperial histories are all seven-rank officials, which can be said to be sesame officials, giving them the right to supervise the chief, from Li Shanchang to the nine-rank sesame officials, there is nothing they dare not manage.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang has nothing to do with them, especially the most upright ones, which is really about to die if he doesn't agree with them, so that he can leave his name in history.

This is why Liu Bowen's Zhedong Party can compete with Huaixi Xungui, others are afraid of being beaten, these people are really not afraid, their behavior characteristics can be summarized as: If you want to beat me, I will scold you, impeach you every day, and if the emperor does not punish you for a day, I will impeach you for a year. ”

This guy has a very high level of action, don't look at them are all weak scholars, Lan Yu has planted a lot of heads on them.

A month before Lan Yu's expedition, he was on a par with a six-grade imperial history, and in the end he was annoyed, so he ambushed him in the alley and beat up the imperial history.

It's a pity that it's useless, people have a blue head and one eye, they still have to impeach you, and they have to add a beating to the court officials.
