Emperor Chongzhen thinks it's just spending some money, what's the big deal.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are their own lifeblood, used to build roads or something, this kind of project must be handed over to their own people to rest assured.

However, the risk of opening mountains and mining is relatively large, especially in the Ming Dynasty, when the security guarantee is not in place, it is better to fill in the lives of foreign people.

Barbarians, beasts, too.

It is impossible to be wrong in the words summed up by the sages of the ages.

Since the sages have said that barbarians are beasts, then barbarians must be beasts.

Especially when the Ming Dynasty needs to take human lives to open mines and mountains.

Then don't think about it, anyway, you don't feel distressed about how to waste the consumables that you can buy with money, right?

As for how Zheng Zhilong and Mao Wenlong arrest people, that's a headache for them.

But in addition to Mao Wenlong and Zheng Zhilong, who don't have a headache at the moment but will definitely have a headache in the future, there is another person in the court of Daming who has a headache.

The secretary of the Shangshu Fang felt that he had a headache.

The country children are mischievous, and there are always some bear children who like to poke the hornet's nest. Even if they are stung by a wasp and cry and scream, the next year there are still some bear children who will do this kind of thing.

Poking a hornet's nest is too exciting.

The six-year-old Jingcha is about to start, and he is the child who acts as a hornet's nest.

Even though Fang Zhuangli felt that he was a good boy and didn't want to poke him, the time had come, so he couldn't help himself.

Gritting his teeth, Fang Zhuangli came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, it is now the second year of Chongzhen, and it is time to start the matter of Jingcha, and foreign officials should also be assessed." ”

After listening to Fang Zhuangli's words, Chen Yuting, the imperial history of Zuodu, also began to have a headache.

You said that you offended Lao Wei and was dismissed from work, so you can forget it at home, but what kind of activity are you doing.

But now this little lady is not what she imagined.

Originally, I thought that Emperor Chongzhen was biased towards the Qingliu faction, but in fact?

Emperor Chongzhen really staged a play called turning his face faster than turning a book, what is called the ruthlessness of the heavenly family, and what is called the emperor's mental trick - to put it mildly, it is simply the truest portrayal of the ruthlessness of the bird.

It's more ruthless than going to the Qinglou by yourself.

Originally, I thought that I would wait for Jingcha to make a good name and take a step forward.

Well, now, after Jingcha, it is true that your colleagues hate yourself for not dying.

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, looking at Fang Zhuang, who was bowing down at the foot of the imperial stairs, but his legs were trembling faintly, and Chen Yuting, who wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, Emperor Chongzhen smiled in his heart.

It's been nearly two years since I crossed over, and I've seen a lot in the court, even if I'm still an unqualified political novice, but I don't have the impulse to do it with a knife in a hurry.

In Emperor Chongzhen's view, it is certain that he will do it with a knife, and the necessary political means still have to be played.

As for those who don't have the same heart as themselves, that is, they are politically incorrect, and the knife should be cut off by them.

Kyocha is a good thing.

The so-called Jingcha is that the officials and the Yushi Yamen sent people down to fight tigers, and they were flies and tigers together, regardless of whether there was anything wrong with them, they would check it first.

The standard of this check is to use the "four grids" and "eight methods" as the lifting standards.

The "four grids" are: Shou, government, talent, and year. Each criterion is a table in which they are classified according to their achievements as competent, industrious, and serviced.

Shou, on behalf of integrity, integrity, fairness, greed; Politics, on behalf of government affairs, diligent, peaceful, and lazy; Cai, divided into long, flat and short; Nian refers to age, which is divided into young, middle, and old.

Among the four grids, those who are listed in the first class are registered and have the priority of being promoted to foreign officials.

The "Eight Laws" are: greed, coolness, inaction, imprudence, old age, illness, impetuousness, and weakness. Sanctions such as questioning, dismissal, or demotion are respectively given.

Those who are found to be "unscrupulous" and "soft" shall be dismissed from their posts; Those who are "impetuous" and "untalented" are demoted; Those who are "old" and "sick" are ordered to retire.

As for "greed" and "cool", there is nothing to say.

Except for the big mite Qing can make such a strange thing as the guilty silver, the Ming Dynasty is not interested in this.

It's basically about losing your head.

And the only thing that displeased Emperor Chongzhen was that it had been too long - this game room is now once every six years, and there is an egg.

In Emperor Chongzhen's opinion, let alone say that it is once every six years, even if it is once every three years or once a year, those who should be stared at and dealt with must be stared at.

Once there was a moment of relaxation, the officials of the Ming Dynasty, who were good at letting go of themselves, dared to fly into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Now that Fang Zhuangli has been proposed, and it seems that Chen Yuting, the imperial history of Zuodu, is also mentally prepared, there is nothing to say.

With a sneer in his heart, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Since Fang Aiqing mentioned Jingcha, I also have some opinions, so I will talk to you about them today." ”

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Just like Confucius summed up the poem 300 as innocent, I think that Jingcha can also be summarized as survival of the fittest.

Officialdom, that's what it's all about, the capable go up, the mediocre go down, the weak eat the strong, there's nothing to say.

But there has only been one Jingcha in the past six years, which is actually extremely inappropriate. ”

Seeing that none of the ministers under the imperial stairs came out to hold the stinky feet, Emperor Chongzhen continued stupidly: "I think it is very appropriate to change it to once every three years. ”

Even though Fang Zhuangli was a proper eunuch member in the eyes of outsiders, he had to stand up against it at this time: "Your Majesty, Jingcha was originally inspected every three years when Emperor Taizu Gao, and then changed to once every ten years.

The minister thinks that most of the reasons are caused by excessive vibration. Every time the Beijing inspection comes out, there is a shock in the officialdom, if it is a three-year inspection, the hundred officials in Beijing are still easy to say, but the local officials are easy to get nervous, so that they are alarmed by the locality.

Once every ten years, officials are prone to slackness and laziness, so it was only held once every six years during the Hongzhi period.

At this time, there were Jiannu outside the Ming Dynasty, and there was a rebellion in Shaanxi inside, and the minister thought that the movement in Beijing should not be too big, so please think twice. ”

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "What Fang Aiqing said makes sense, but I said that it was changed to once every three years, in fact, there are other reasons.

My imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty is a big examination every three years, what does this mean?

This means that every three years, a group of students in my Ming Dynasty will complete their studies and are waiting to become officials.

If some official positions are not vacated, how will they be placed? ”

But Emperor Chongzhen's words obviously did not help.

Who cares how they are placed, isn't Lao Tzu standing above this court now? As for the little rookies who have just won the Jinshi, let them boil it slowly, and it is not good to do chores in the six departments.

Besides, when the six-year Jingcha arrives, it is bound to clean up a group of officials who are not so pleasing to the eye, and then arrange to go out once, and there happens to be a new rookie jinshi to add in as coolies, isn't it beautiful?

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the officials under the imperial stairs with expressions that either had nothing to do with themselves, or with expressions like mourning, and continued with a secret smile in his heart: "Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the Aiqing above the court, everyone understands this in their hearts."

But everyone Aiqing thought badly.

Jingcha is not only related to all Aiqing, nor is it only related to the inspection of Aiqing itself, but it is related to whether you Aiqing will have enough benefits in the future. ”

Seeing that the officials below began to show a look of concern, Emperor Chongzhen knew that he was going to take a fierce medicine now.

If anything else, it's not very useful for these old fritters. But when it comes to matters related to their own bodies, then these people are very concerned, but Emperor Chongzhen changed his words, and continued: "Why pay attention to the rule of officials? What is it for? ”

Emperor Chongzhen has been talking alone for a long time, and seeing that no one has expressed his opinion, it should make Emperor Chongzhen unhappy, so Wen Tiren went out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that since the officials are to assist the Son of Heaven to herd the people, they should not disturb the people and disrupt the country.

Whether it is the filial piety and honesty of the strong man, or the later nine-rank zhongzheng system, or even the imperial examination, it is all to select qualified officials to assist the Son of Heaven.

However, there are a hundred kinds of people and a thousand kinds of officials. It is not easy to stick to one's heart after becoming an official, and many people have fallen because of this, and corruption and harm to the people have emerged in an endless stream, which is the foundation of Jingcha. ”

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said, "What Wen Aiqing said is extremely true. Let's take the example of corrupt officials.

People were so greedy, or gave some to the Aiqing in the court, but after all, they themselves fell big, right?

But the people at the bottom came nonsense, and in the end, they were unlucky, but most of them were Aiqing in the court who carried the black pot for them, and you don't have any ideas about this matter?

In addition, officials at the bottom may not see any hope of rising, and they feel that they have no hope of fighting for overseas fiefdoms, so all kinds of corruption are frequent.

But if you don't want to fight for overseas fiefdoms because of the people below, which is light? Which is more important? ”

Others are okay to say, Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai, plus the six Shangshu have different thoughts in their hearts.

Damn, Lao Tzu is hopeful, it doesn't matter if you have Lao Tzu or not, but Lao Tzu can do it.

You guys messing around at the bottom to make the big boss unhappy, you lose your head, and Lao Tzu has to eat melons with you, why?

I can't bear this! Kill these grandchildren!

Isn't it just an official, there are more people waiting in line to be officials in the Ming Dynasty!

With the carrot of the overseas fiefdom hanging in front, the officials in the Ming Dynasty suddenly felt that they had found the direction of their lives again - who doesn't want to leave a huge family business to future generations?

If you leave enough left, even if the descendants are losers, they can lose for a few more years, right?

What's more, His Majesty's performance has already shown that as long as it is not messing around with the people of Daming in the Ming Dynasty, no one cares what to do in the overseas fiefdoms.

It's fun to think about.

Without Jingcha, without the scaring people of Dongchang and Jinyiwei's grandsons all day long, how beautiful this little day is.

And now there are already obvious examples, and not one, but three.

Now who in the whole world doesn't know that the three guys of Tang Wang, Qing Wang, and Qin Wang, who were originally raised as pigs, are now hot and powerful princes?

Although these three guys have not yet gone to lay down a fief by themselves, they have recruited all the people, and seeing that the day of the trip is approaching, this matter is already a certainty.

When these three scumbags really become the kings of real power, can the other vassal kings in the country not be blushing? When the time comes, there will be not many good places left in this map of all countries.

Therefore, you should pay while it is hot.

Before there are still a lot of good places overseas, there is nothing wrong with working for the emperor first, and then changing the family business for future generations.

But there was a roadblock in front of me - those officials who were messing around below, and if they made problems, they would undoubtedly lower their impression of the emperor.

And the consequence is likely to be that he loses the qualification to buy overseas fiefdoms.

Since Tumubao, I feel that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty who can rank third are dissatisfied.

What I didn't say this time is that we must support the emperor, we must strictly rectify it, and it is best to let everyone in the cabinet and the members of the six ministries get a fief - the only pity is Huang Liji.

Fang Zhuangli and Wen Tiren had already vaguely expressed their opposition just now, and it was not good to change their words suddenly, but it didn't matter, Zhang Ruitu, who was originally a member of the eunuch party, jumped out first: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of governing the government is related to the society of the country and the country, and it must be governed strictly."

Originally, the land of Shaanxi was just a great drought, and the treasury and His Majesty's internal funds were all used to buy grain for relief, but there were still people in Shaanxi who were in turmoil, so why not?

Weichen thought that it was precisely because some officials in Shaanxi were corrupt and some officials did nothing that the cool officials were exploited too much, so that the officials forced the people to rebel.

It is precisely for this reason that the matter of Jingcha must not only be investigated, but also strictly investigated. Only when the people are stable, can the Ming Dynasty be stable.

But if he was too exploited at this time, Weichen thought that he could restart the punishment set by Emperor Taizu Gao. ”

Shi Fenglai, Lai Zongdao, Yang Jingchen, Li Biao, Qian Longxi, etc. of the cabinet expressed their support for the proposal.

Wen Tiren gave Zhang Ruitu a dry and beautiful look, Fang Zhuangli also cast a look of gratitude, Wen and Fang bowed down the donkey together: "The minister also seconded the proposal." ”

Kyocha has reverted to the rule of once every three years, even if it is so set.

But Emperor Chongzhen has never been too big to do things—no matter how big he is, he just hangs himself on the crooked-necked tree in the coal mountain.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "This time Jingcha, the four grids and the eight laws, must be strictly implemented, and the Jinyi Wei and the East and West Factory will assist from the side, only watch, not meddle."

But once there is a royal history that the officials below are trying to threaten and murder, Jinyiwei can provide the necessary protection. ”

……

Fang Zhuangli and Chen Yuting's hearts were already messy.

Originally, he had planned to do a good inventory, but Emperor Chongzhen used the excuse of protection to get the factory guards out openly - in case someone has a relative who wants to secretly protect something, how to get it?
