Chapter 68: The Rise of the Empire (5)

Hundreds of officials stood in line in the hall according to their respective official positions, listening to the mournful cries of the eunuchs before death from time to time outside the hall, many people were frightened into a cold sweat, you must know that the current emperor is not a good person to talk to, since he came to the throne, but he has killed a lot of people, and it is really the descendants of the Zhu family.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of officials had been waiting for more than half an hour, and Chongzhen did not appear for such a long time, and many officials began to gather into small groups, chattering and discussing something together.

"The emperor has arrived" With the eunuch's unique spy voice coming out, the entire hall fell silent in an instant. With the help of Wang Chengen, Chongzhen, who was pale-faced, walked up the steps and sat on his dragon chair, and the hundred officials below immediately returned to the team to bow down after seeing Chongzhen's arrival.

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, looked at the ministers below, and did not open his mouth to let this group of guys get up, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, except for a few people who were promoted after themselves, according to the intelligence of Jinyiwei, almost none of them are good things, Chongzhen is now completely disappointed in this group of officials, what policy he would prefer to convene a few henchmen into the palace to discuss, so that it is not only quiet, but also more efficient, and there is no need to waste time on this group of old things in the court.

"Big companion, read the holy decree" Before coming, Chongzhen asked the celebrant to sort out his intentions into a holy decree, and today he moved a little, and his head jumped with pain, and he really didn't have the strength to argue with this group of ministers, so it was better to make an order directly, and save it.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: From now on, the criminal department, Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other officials of the three law divisions shall not be transferred to other departments without a holy decree, and the officials of the three law departments shall not participate in political affairs in the future, and shall not be stationed in the cabinet, all officials are directly responsible to the emperor, and the responsibilities of the criminal department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are now adjusted, and the criminal department is still the central judicial organ, and has the responsibility of trying cases in various places, and now the right to review and enforce criminal punishments has been increased. Dali Temple is a prudent criminal organ, mainly managing the rejection and rehabilitation of unjust and wrongful cases. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the organ for supervising law and discipline, which not only examines death penalty cases, but also participates in autumn and hot trials, and supervises hundreds of officials. All punishments are mainly based on the book of the criminal department, Dali Temple Temple, and the left of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The right capital is supplemented by the imperial history. "This is not a separation of powers, Chongzhen has not gone crazy, in this special period, he will not propose these institutions that empty his own rights, this is just a separate judicial independence, which has the advantage of avoiding the influence of other officials other than the emperor himself on the judiciary as much as possible.

After Wang Chengen handed over this holy decree to Yang Tinglin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, he then picked up another holy decree and read it

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: order 10,000 yuan to select the world's elite to set up six doors, six doors are mainly responsible, the impact is particularly bad, the harm to the people is great, cross-regional, long-term unfinished cases and other special cases, all the six doors are professionalized and hierarchical, according to their respective case-handling capabilities, iron seals, copper seals, silver seals, gold seals four kinds of seals, money used during the case handling, a series of expenses such as quick salaries are spent by the inner treasury" This is a special case team specializing in dealing with major cases. Although criminal cases do not greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the empire, they have a crucial impact on the stability of the empire, and only an empire with relatively fair justice can achieve long-term peace and stability.

The empire after the Qin Dynasty did not have a national fortune for more than three hundred years (not to mention the Western Han Dynasty, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, this is not a complete continuation, they have all been interrupted), the empire of the past dynasties has perished, nothing more than land annexation, corrupt officials in power, judicial injustice, these several reasons, and unfortunate is to encounter natural disasters, such as the current Ming Dynasty. Rectification of corrupt officials, fair justice these are not unsolvable problems in various dynasties, as long as the emperor is determined, they can be solved, but these methods are only a symptom but not a cure, completely relying on the emperor alone, when encountering an unreliable emperor, the original form will be exposed, and only the United States in later generations has handled it relatively well in this regard, that is, judicial independence.

But one of the most serious is land annexation, but no dynasty has solved it perfectly, in fact, land annexation is the biggest harm to the empire, as long as so much land in the Ming Dynasty is divided, with the existing population of the empire, these lands can be fully fed, but now most of these lands are not in the hands of farmers, they are all annexed by those families, officials and landlords, farmers have no land, one or two do not affect, but if 100,000 million farmers have no land, it is a big trouble. Land annexation in the feudal dynasty has never appeared a way to cure the root cause, in this regard, to say that the best in this regard, that is, the later generations of the red government completely solved the land annexation that has plagued countless dynasties for thousands of years, that is, all land is nationalized, prohibiting private trading.

However, during this period, Chongzhen did not dare to issue an order to recover all the land, although the whole world is not the king's land, but this is only in name, if he really dares to do that, Chongzhen can guarantee that as long as such a holy decree is reached, it will not be long before he will be ousted from the throne, and there will be no corpse, a good policy is only a good policy in the era that conforms to it, change the era, don't say anything, look at Wang Mang, who is known as a traverser, how many good things the unlucky child has done for the people of the world, but what is the final result.

Directly apply the modern advanced system, that is absolutely a death, and is a big death, land nationalization is currently Chongzhen in thousands of years of history, see the only way to solve this problem, but can not directly apply the system of later generations, to change the approach, this cross-era system to slow to urgent, in fact, this method Chongzhen has already begun to implement, that is, all the confiscated land is kept by himself and no longer distributed, send eunuchs to recover the land to establish a royal village, hire landless farmers to produce, At the same time, the tenant rent of the hired peasants was reduced, and only all the land was under the name of the emperor, under the management of the eunuchs, so that the land would not be annexed by others.

I am the emperor of the empire, the land is in my own hands, that is, in the hands of the empire, the land is in my own name, and I can completely put an end to buying and selling, as for the land annexation, I can't stop it, so make him even more crazy, your family annexes the land, then I can also support the eunuchs in the imperial village to annex the land for the imperial family on a large scale, I am looking forward to those landlords and the eunuchs in the palace who go out to take charge of the imperial village to meet together, and then see who has annexed whom, Sooner or later, the land in this world will be my private domain, and as long as I don't have a fever in my head, I can achieve the ultimate goal of nationalizing the land.
