Yun Xi also officially issued two wills above the court today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The first decree is the "Prohibition of Beggars and Displaced People", which probably means that beggars and homeless people do not produce and are not beneficial to the country.

Yun Xi hated beggars deeply, they did not create any social value, just a burden on society, Yun Xi hated beggars extremely in both lifetimes.

Not to mention the beggars of this era and all kinds of criminals hiding in the meantime, the organizations closest to the modern underworld in ancient China were the beggar gangs, beggars' bones, etc., in order to ensure social security, they must be banned.

Most officials have little opinion on this rule. The Chinese-style feudal society, or the ideal of Confucianism, is that everyone abides by Confucian moral norms, the state selects officials to select the virtuous and capable, the people have harmonious interpersonal relations, the old have their ends, the young have their support, and the state is useful, forming the Confucian ideal of a Datong society.

Regardless of whether this ideal is realistic or not, there is no place for beggars in this Datong society, and the officials of the current dynasty, who are followers of Confucianism, will naturally not support it. It's just that a few great Confucians have suggested that those who are old and have no relatives may be forced to become beggars, and ask His Majesty to consider it at his discretion. Yun Xi considered that the probability of such old beggars being sent to the frontier to die on the road was greater than the probability of reaching their destination alive, so he nodded and agreed to send them to the nursing home.

The second decree is "Changing the Edict of the Officials of Tianfu", which probably means that Yingtianfu is the best place in the country, and its local governance is complicated, and in order to adapt to the special governance of the capital, the system of Yingtianfu should be changed.

Yun Hee's purpose was to re-establish the local government system according to the system he remembered for the future generations. Since the Qin Dynasty in ancient China, the control of the grassroots has become weaker and weaker, basically the Ming Dynasty has fallen to the weakest, and the control of the grassroots has been strengthened in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Yunhee is not happy with this situation, especially in the city. There is no good way to manage the countryside now, and forced reform may make things worse, so it was decided to maintain the original system for the time being; However, the city has a high concentration of population, and there are no intricate clans, so it should be possible to succeed in reform.

And the reason why it is only temporarily carried out in Yingtianfu is that first, this violates the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, if Yunxi publicly reveals his ultimate goal, I am afraid that there will be a lot of obstacles in the court;

Second, because of the huge difference in the social situation in ancient times, Yunxi himself is not very sure about the success of his reform, and even if he succeeds in the end, there will be many detours in the middle; Taking Ying Tianfu as a 'pilot' to carry out reforms, and then pushing the system to all provincial capitals, prefecture cities, state towns, and even the smallest county towns after the system matures, can avoid social unrest due to detours in the middle to the greatest extent. After all, he personally watched in the capital.

The specific reform measures are as follows: 1. In response to Tianfu and Shangyuan and Jiangning counties, the six-room scribes were abolished, and the scribes were set up instead, and they were officials who were not in charge of affairs, and students were selected from the Guozijian for them.

Second, the original government service of one government and two counties will be abolished, and police will be added to manage public security, tax collection, arrest and other matters; The police establishment is temporarily under the health center, and it will be appropriately adjusted in the future, and it is not considered to be a menial service.

Third, change the authority of the officials of the Ying Tianfu, and in the future, the Fu Yin will no longer personally try the case, and add the lieutenant of the Fu and the five products, and use it to try and ask the case, and promote the official to support him; The daily security of the capital is managed by three general judges, who manage the north of the city, the south of the city, and the middle of the city, and have jurisdiction over the patrol police; In charge of the money and grain of the Tianfu in the middle of the governance, he is responsible for the government Yin.

Fourth, in the two counties of Jiangning and Shangyuan, the county order will no longer personally try cases in the future, and promote the classic history to the eight products, try and ask questions; A county lieutenant was added to be in charge of the daily security of the county and to patrol the police; The main book is in charge of money and grain, and is responsible for the county order.

Fifth, the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Five Cities of the Revolution, which is responsible for the daily security of the capital, is handed over to the two counties of Yingtian; The original commander of the soldiers and horses, the best one was selected as the lieutenant of the house, the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses, and was reappointed as the county canon; The rest of the people went to the Ministry of Officials to elect officials.

The practical implications of these reform measures are: first, to abolish the lowly status of grassroots civil servants in Tianfu, and second, to make the responsibilities and powers of the grassroots clearer.

According to the system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, the prefectural level is not enough, and the power at the state and county levels is highly centralized, all of which are in the hands of the governor/magistrate/county order, and at the same time, the setting of grassroots officials and economic officials is extremely simple, resulting in the fact that the vast majority of power is handed over to the gentry in the countryside, and to the gentry and various criminal gangs similar to the underworld in the cities.

At the same time, there are also a large number of 'white-bodied' officials who are not in the imperial court, and the imperial court does not pay them salaries, but there are still countless people who are willing to do it, so where does their money come from? It can only be exploitation from the people. Even Zhu Yuanzhang was helpless.

Yun Xi felt very puzzled after reading the history books and seeing this situation: Are the people above the court stupid? Don't they know that when there are not enough officials to control it, they hire a large number of 'white-bodied' officials, and these white-bodied officials will certainly not eat themselves? They will definitely exploit the people, why has the court been using such an incredible system since the abolition of the township pavilion system in the Qin and Han dynasties?

Yun Xi once consulted Zhu Yuanzhang after becoming the emperor's grandson, and Zhu Yuanzhang said at the time: "The system of Xu officials is really a public ,...... for the people."

Yunxi couldn't say that Zhu Yuanzhang could only stop at that time. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Yunxi immediately raised the wages of the economic officials as a transitional method in the transition stage, and it is only now that he has finally begun to completely change this situation.

The officials looked at each other, not knowing what to do with Yun Hee's will. Yun Xi's biggest change in officials is the abolition of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, but he also made a proper arrangement of the soldiers and horses to command, as for the division of the power of the government and the county order, this is even more deserved, they will not and cannot object.

It's just that His Majesty canceled the officials of Ying Tianfu all of a sudden, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil. Those who do the work of the servants are all veterans, which is afraid that the system is not in accordance with it.

Hanlin Gao Feng of the Hanlin Academy admonished: "Your Majesty, the disciples of the officials are cunning and impermanent, and the first emperor punished them many times when he was there, and it is also right to investigate them. However, since ancient times, Xu officials have been used to handle political affairs for the prefecture and county officials, and it may not be appropriate to cancel it rashly. ”

At this time, a person who surprised everyone stood up and said, "What's wrong? If you talk about the system of township pavilions since ancient times, the Qin and Han dynasties, the township chiefs and pavilion chiefs are mostly veterans, and they are not cheap servants. Your Majesty's move is in harmony with the ancient system. ”

Everyone was surprised for a while: 'Why did Fang Xiaoru suddenly stand up and speak?' He's not a flatterer. ’

After listening to his words, everyone suddenly realized: "It turns out that His Majesty's system is in line with the ancient system he admires, so Fang Xiaoru will come out to speak." ’

After that, people raised all kinds of different questions, and Fang Xiaoru and his friends blocked them one by one.

When others saw this, it was difficult to say what would happen to Yunxi's reforms, and they did not violate the interests of officials, so they did not raise their opinions.

It's just that those Confucians who are not from the same faction as Fang Xiaoru all secretly thought in their hearts: 'If something goes wrong, I can't say that I have to give another advice.' ’

Of course, Yun Xi understands what these people think, but he doesn't care: it's just a bunch of rotten Confucians, as long as Fang Xiaoru makes trouble from it, they have no impact.

Yun Xi returned to the Qianqing Palace, first replied to yesterday's performance, and then began to think about what Ying Tianfu would do next.

First of all, of course, it is necessary to distinguish the patrol police, the criminal police, and the tax police, which belong to the general judge, the lieutenant of the government, and the management of the central government. As for the future, whether to use the criminal police to continue to clean up the dirt and dirt in the city, or to use the patrol police to change customs, or to use the tax police to change the industrial and commercial taxes in the city? ’

Yun Xi had a headache. These three can be said to be equally important: although this time a large-scale cleanup of officials and beggars, influential bullies, and a crackdown on the underworld forces in the city, those little hooligans and little bullies who have families and businesses in the city have not yet been punished, and they still need to be defeated.

It seems that he is not in a hurry to change customs, but what Yun Xi is most eye-catching is the various habits of people now: horses walk on the road and pull feces casually, sewage is splashed on the street, people live with pigs, chickens, ducks and other domestic animals, and people do not pay attention to hygiene and encroach on the road,...... Yun Xi didn't want to put up with it for a long time.

As for the change of industrial and commercial tax, it cannot be delayed for a long time. The officials and the new policemen were abolished, and the merchants in the city were exempted from all kinds of extortion and only paid regular taxes, and the taxes were ridiculously low; Although the commercial tax was higher than the thirty tax set by Zhu Yuanzhang (Chapter 161), it was still low in his opinion, and it should continue to be raised.

Yun Xi thought about it for a long time and there was no result, so he put this matter aside for the time being and continued to criticize and answer. Fortunately, there is still some time, and it is not too late to think about it after the three police officers are separated and the Li Fang is rebooked. He thought.

In the afternoon, Huang Huai entered the palace and reported to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, according to the list of Jinyi Wei and Zhensi, there are a total of 725 Xu officials and bullies in the city who need to be arrested, only one has not been caught, and the rest have all been arrested and are being interrogated. ”

"Since there's only one fugitive, there's no need to worry too much. Anyway, if he rebooks the house in a few days, he will definitely be able to catch it as long as he doesn't go out of the city. How many beggars and homeless people were there in the city? Yun Xi said.

"Your Majesty, a total of 1,499 homeless people and beggars have been collected from the whole city without a guide or a fixed place, not including the beggars and bullies who have been arrested." Huang Huai said.

There are more than 1,000 beggars and homeless people in the capital with a population of one million, and Yun Xi doesn't know whether this is more or less, and the previous dynasties have never counted their numbers. But no matter how much or less, Yunxi's current disposal method is the same.

"My will has been prepared, and all these more than 1,000 people will be exiled to the rule of the Qin King in the northwest."
