Ning Yu has thoroughly understood, in fact, the problem is still the same old, that is, within the scope of his control, the implementation of the policy can be guaranteed, but when it comes to the most basic link, not to mention the problem of being out of shape, there is no implementation at all, because there is no such person at all.

Don't say that he is the emperor, but even if he is the emperor, Ning Yu can only directly manage the courtiers of all sizes, and then he can only look at the officials of the provinces and provinces.

Although Cui Wancai's expression was also very solemn, he was not as profound as Ning Yu thought, in his opinion, this situation was too normal...... If the people below don't play tricks and don't use their hands and feet, how can there be so many disasters in the world?

Ning Yu talked with Orion for a long time, although most of the time he was asking, and Orion was answering, but through the other party's answer, Ning Yu probably grasped the living conditions of the local people - to put it bluntly, make do with life, as long as you don't starve to death, it will be God's eyes.

For the people here, they can't even afford to eat the cheapest private salt, and as for the official salt, it only exists in theory, and the salt transported from Hanyang Mansion, which is close at hand, has risen to an unacceptable price in Yunyang, and as for the Orion's location, they are not even qualified to contact - all the buying and selling rights are monopolized by the local land insurance.

Ning Yu almost didn't have to think about how deep the dark curtain was hidden here, and after secretly writing it down in his heart, he immediately asked in a low voice: "Has the current law of apportionment into acres in the imperial court ever been implemented?" ”

Orion sighed lowly, "This is there, but the villain's three acres of thin fields, where to put them, it is said that they are all inferior fields, but after the account books, the villain's fields have become high-grade fields, but there is nowhere to say this......

In fact, since the system of apportioning the land into the mu and the gentry paying grain in one place was fully rolled out, many large households began to use their connections to register their own high-grade fields as low-class fields, and other people's low-grade fields as high-class fields, so that almost all the burden was passed on to the poor households, so that many poor households completely abandoned their fields and fled and became homeless.

"Sir, I think no matter how fierce this tiger is, it is not as ambitious as some people!" Ning Yu snorted coldly, obviously already exuding a bit of murderous aura.

Under Ning Yu's order, the Praetorian Guard Regiment quickly arrested the local land guards and the relevant gentry, and together with all the officials of Fang County, they all became prisoners, and then Ning Yu didn't go anywhere, so he stayed at Orion's house, and summoned Zheng Mingqiu, the prefect of Yunyang, and Wen Dingzhi, the county commander of Fang County.

The two of them hurried overnight, from Yun County to Fang County, and then under the leadership of the chamberlain, they rushed to Orion's house, but the Orion's house was too remote, so that by the time the two arrived, it was already a moonlit star.

It's just that when they arrived at the door of Orion's house, Zheng Mingqiu and Wen Dingzhi were a little dumbfounded, the door in front of them was already closed, and they had no intention of opening it at all, so they had no choice but to kneel on the ground.

"The criminal minister Zheng Mingqiu knocks on Your Majesty!"

"The guilty minister Wen Dingzhi knocks to see Your Majesty!"

At this time, Ning Yu was holding a book in the courtyard, although he heard the voices of these two people, but he ignored it at all, but after Orion knew Ning Yu's identity, he sat on the chair with some trepidation, he wanted to kneel down, but he was helped up by Ning Yu.

"Your Majesty....... This...... ....... small people"

Orion heard the sound outside the door very clearly, especially when he heard that one of them was the county magistrate, but he shivered at the moment, he was kneeling outside, and he was sitting in the courtyard, so that he could have good fruit to eat in the future?

Ning Yu snorted coldly, "Let them kneel first, calm down, and think about their own way of being an official!" ”

Seeing that the emperor didn't mean to see the two of them inside, Zheng Mingqiu was so frightened that he had to kneel on the ground honestly, while Wen Dingzhi was remorseful, he seemed to understand something.

After more than two hours, when the sky gradually brightened, Ning Si walked out of the courtyard and came to Zheng Mingqiu and Wen Dingzhi, and said in a low voice: "Two, please come with me." ”

When they saw Ning Yu, Zheng Mingqiu and Wen Dingzhi knelt on the ground again, but their bodies trembled slightly, and they knew in their hearts that this time they were afraid that it would not be so easy to get through.

Ning Yu glanced at the two of them, and after rushing all night and kneeling for two hours, his face was extremely pale, and even a little shaky.

"I made you kneel for two hours, not for me, but for this brother and for your people!"

When Orion heard Ning Yu say this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the little people don't dare...... How can the two adults kneel down to the little people? It's really ......."

Ning Yu snorted coldly, "They should kneel for you, and they should kneel for the people of Fangxian and Yunyang!" ”

Zheng Mingqiu and Wen Dingzhi hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The criminal minister really deserves it, please punish the emperor severely." ”

"The foundation of my Great Chu country lies in the people of the world. The people of Huguang sacrificed a lot for the establishment of the new dynasty, and every family in Yunyang did not have children to serve as soldiers in my Han army? If we can't even guarantee the rear, so that the people don't have enough to eat, how can these soldiers die for Dachu? ”

"The guilty minister is ashamed, he has failed His Majesty's hard work, no matter how severely he is punished, the criminal minister is willing."

"Get up first!"

After Ning Yu got angry, his mood was not so bad, "Zheng Mingqiu, I won't have other opinions about you just because you are a child of the Zheng family, as long as your heart is towards me and the people, then no one can do anything to you!" ”

Zheng Mingqiu burst into tears when he heard this, what he was most worried about was this, and now when he saw the emperor personally making a promise to him, he had some bottom in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to praise his grace, and then retreated to the side.

Ning Yu turned his head to look at Wen Dingzhi again, he was still quite optimistic about this person before, so he was a little disappointed, shook his head lightly and sighed: "Wen Dingzhi, I still don't know you well enough, the reason why I called the two of you here today, do you know my intentions?" ”

Wen Dingzhi's face showed shame, "The guilty minister understands that this is His Majesty telling the guilty minister what is the way to be a minister." ”

"The lesson I gave you earlier is really not enough..... As a local shepherd, what you do will directly affect the people's perception of the court. We must not only stand from a high position, but also bend down to listen to the thoughts of the people! ”

"The sinner knows his mistake! Please also punish Your Majesty severely! ”

Wen Dingzhi put his official hat aside and knelt deep on the ground to show his shame.

Ning Yu snorted coldly, "Put your hat on!" Now that there is a shortage of people in the imperial court, it is impossible for me to come here just to take off your hats, and if I find a problem, I will solve it! Of course, this matter can't be counted like this, Zheng Mingqiu was demoted to three levels to temporarily act as the prefect of Yunyang, and Wen Dingzhi was demoted to three levels to temporarily act as the county magistrate of Fang County. The Metropolitan Procuratorate conducted an in-depth investigation of all the officials involved in the case, killing those who should be killed, and closing those who should be closed. ”

"For the people of Yunyang, we should fully implement our policy, the field tax system strictly distinguishes the upper, middle and lower acres of land system, and then I will ask the Ministry of Agriculture to come up with a regulation to completely abolish the grading system of land division and fundamentally avoid this malaise."

Ning Yu inadvertently threw out another shocking topic, but Cui Wancai, Zheng Mingqiu and others were shocked when they heard it, how could they not understand how big the interests involved are, it can be said that under this kind of policy, it is easy to cause some problems with one size fits all.

"All the daily necessities that Yunyang Prefecture lacks must be well guaranteed, markets need to be set up in Yunyang counties, and the prices of salt and grain should be stabilized, and the government must play a leading role in this, and it is necessary to severely crack down on hoarding and reselling key strategic materials."

"Yes!"

Under Ning Yu's attention, and after the Metropolitan Procuratorate was stationed, this matter was quickly investigated clearly, strictly speaking, it was not a major case, and it was not even involved at the county level, it was purely those local security guards who were working below, trying to make personal gains for themselves.

By the time Ning Yu returned to Nanjing, the case had been thoroughly handled, and Ning Wanjun, the political envoy of Hubei Zuobu, Zheng Mingqiu, the prefect of Yunyang, and Yu Shi Xue Yong, the inspector of the Provincial Metropolitan Procuratorate, jointly submitted a document detailing the cause and effect of the matter, and the corresponding people involved in the case were severely punished.

In the hearts of the princes of the imperial court, this is a trivial matter that cannot be smaller, and Cui Wancai also thought that this kind of treatment would be enough - so he submitted the response to the fold, and also attached some cabinet opinions, and the relevant responsible persons were dealt with strictly and severely to set an example.

Strictly speaking, there was no problem, but Ning Yu was a little angry after reading it, and he directly summoned the people from all the ministries of the cabinet, as well as the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and held a pre-imperial meeting.

"Smack"

The fold was thrown in front of everyone by Ning Yu, and the long fold was scattered directly on the ground, and the Zhu Pi on it seemed to be bloody, showing in front of everyone.

"This is the Cabinet's answer to me? If that's all it takes, I've already done it in Yunyang, what else do I want you to do? ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers deserve death for their dereliction of duty."

Ning Yu sighed softly, "Originally, the last thing I wanted to do was this so-called Qingtian Great Master, because in my opinion, this is our dereliction of duty!" If the government can solve the problem, why do you need a so-called Qingtian master? ”

"Of course, at the moment, our government has just been established, and many people and things are still ......being established," Ning Yu's tone softened slightly, "I understand that everyone has difficulties, but if you can't do it beforehand, you have to do a good job of supervising the work afterwards, I think that although I won't go to inspect later, the relevant inspection system of the imperial court must be determined!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they felt a little inexplicable, could it be that they could arrange the ministers of the Qin Mission?

Li Fu frowned, he could understand the emperor's mood, but he didn't care about it with such fanfare, saying that it was not worth paying attention to the corruption case in a small place, but Li Fu, who was good at figuring out people's hearts, didn't understand Ning Yu's thoughts at all this time.

Ning Yu did not sell off at all in this matter, but quickly stated his thoughts, that is, to set up a regular inspection and inspection team, the main responsibility is to implement all aspects of the policies issued by the imperial court, and do a good job of relevant records, but the power of the inspection team is limited to investigation and evidence collection, and does not involve specific punishment measures.

The inspection behavior of the inspection team will cover all the government offices from the central to the local, and it is an irregular inspection, and the inspection members involved will be organized in advance, and no special inspection personnel will be set up, so as to avoid some people using the inspection system to seek personal interests for themselves.

"The imperial court can't just talk about state affairs, the inspection system is not just supervision, but a process of self-learning, we only fully understand the following situation, so as not to cause jokes."

Speaking of which, Ning Yu's main expectation for the inspection system is not to deal with the officials below, but through this top-down channel, there are many channels for the people to happen, so that more gentry and officials have a number in their hearts, that is, no matter how busy the emperor is, he will leave an eye on the grassroots.

Of course, in this era, it is actually a bit idealistic to determine the inspection system, at least Ning Yu does not plan to do it overnight, but as long as he can make things better, he will choose to do it. As for the inspection team itself, Ning Yu has also done a good job of prevention in advance, only has the right to investigate, not the right to dispose of, and is not allowed to accept local bribes and not to contact the local investigation targets, so as to avoid problems in the inspection team itself to a greater extent.

In Ningyu's vision, the inspection team system will be a long-term policy, not just one or two targeted inspections, in addition, through the inspection team, to the townships and towns to publicize the relevant policies of Ningchu, to supplement the gap in the government below the county level, for some of the landlords and gentry who collude with officials, it is necessary to carry out a multi-faceted crackdown to ensure the implementation of the new policy.

"The problem this time is not only Xunyang Mansion, but also many other prefectures and counties, more or less there are some harsh policies left over from the former Qing Dynasty, and even the fire consumption abolished by the Ming Decree, and some harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which are still being collected in a grand manner...... My newspapers can't cover the counties and townships, so we need more publicity from the inspection team. ”

"For those officials who deliberately conceal the new deal and do not publicize it, one will be counted as one, and they will all be taken by me!"

"For those local tyrants and gentry who collude with officials and continue to collect harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, all of them will be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law!"

Ning Yu sharpened his knife and pointed his finger at the gentry who claimed to be the king and hegemon at the grassroots level, he would never tolerate this gang of people to destroy the foundation of the country, the unspoken rule of the government in the Ming and Qing dynasties not to go to the countryside was broken by Ning Yu's order, not only to go to the countryside, but also to go deep into the countryside!
