895 Obey the house
On the day the emperor returned to Beijing, he directly issued a decree to reject Wen Tiren's request for guilt, and also asked for resignation, but it was still not allowed.
Only on the second day, the emperor issued a holy decree and officially announced it to the world, emphasizing the "Ming Law" volume 12, "Ming Huidian" volume 129 "service house violation" article, that is: all official and civilian houses, vehicles, clothing, utensils and the like have their own ranks, if they violate the style, there are 100 official rods, and the dismissal is not described; Those who are unofficial shall be flogged fifty times, and those who are guilty shall be punished by parents and craftsmen, and shall be flogged fifty times. If he uses the forbidden dragon and phoenix script, the officials and the people shall each have 100 rods, and shall be imprisoned for three years; One hundred craftsmen's staff, even when the Fang family was small, he went to Beijing to fill the bureau.
However, considering the current public situation, the government and the people are allowed half a year to carry out rectification. Half a year later, it was strictly enforced, and the implementation of this type of obedience was included in the important evaluation indicators of officials.
Immediately after that, a second decree was issued, and the court encouraged goodness, so those who had both moral character and were recognized by the government could give preferential treatment in houses, cars, clothing, utensils, etc., as a source of encouragement. This is followed by detailed terms, such as donating funds for education, paving roads and bridges, etc.
As soon as this will was made, there were many discussions inside and outside the capital, and the streets and alleys were all about this topic. There is no way, because this holy decree has something to do with almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty.
No, in the famous "Drunken Immortal Building" in Beijing, the diners on the first and second floors are all discussing this matter.
"Ah, Brother Liu, haven't you seen the latest imperial court announcement, you dare to wear such a bright dress?" A fat diner who arrived first said with a smile to his late friend.
There is a strict rule in the founding law that the common people can only "wear light colors", they are not allowed to wear glittering brocade, and their jewelry is not allowed to use gold and jade. Therefore, the fat man said this as soon as he saw the color of his clothes.
That Brother Liu smiled when he heard it: "Isn't it half a year, don't wear it much, and it will be really difficult to wear it out in the future!" ”
"Come on, come on, Xiao Er, order!" When the fat man heard this, he first greeted Xiao Er, and then said to his friend with a smile, "It's not going to be, isn't Brother Liu's mansion rich?" If you spend some money to do good deeds and get the title of a good person, you will be able to be extrajudicial and benevolent! ”
"That's some money!" When Brother Liu heard this, he shook his head a little depressedly and said, "It's just that you have to pay every year." Only those who are recognized by the imperial court as having the title of 'virtuous' or 'master' can do it once and for all! ”
"The title of 'Master'? Forget it! The fat man shook his head and said, "Even if it is those masters, it is estimated that few people can get the title of the imperial court, and the notice said that the master is not only a master of exquisite craftsmanship, but must be able to make good things that benefit the country and the people, or leave a blessing for future generations, and be read and approved by His Majesty." “
In fact, the masters are divided into one, two, three, and so on, but they have nothing to do with these two people, and they don't think to discuss them in detail.
After the fat man said that, he glanced at his friend, suddenly showed a smile, and seemed to gloat a little and said: "Hehe, Brother Liu's mansion has a lot of misuse, if you don't take out some money to donate to a good person, not to mention whether it looks good when you go out in the future, it's too wasteful just to use those clothes!" “
When Brother Liu heard this, he glanced at him angrily and said, "Aren't you?" Nowadays, who doesn't buy some good things with a little money, not to mention anything else, just the gold, jade, pearl and emerald jewelry of your wife and two concubines, don't you wear them out? ”
"Ah, who's to say it isn't!" When the fat man heard this, he lost a smile on his face, and sighed and said, "With this will of the imperial court, it is estimated that every family will have to pay extra money!" Really, live a good life, such a holy decree has come! ”
Hearing this, a strong man who was drinking alone at the table next to him suddenly turned his head and interjected: "This can't be blamed on the imperial court, who let the Jiangnan side make too much trouble and compare the pomp and circumstance of the Ming Emperor, can you play like this if you have money?" ”
There is a kind of psychology that exists in ancient and modern China and abroad, and that is hatred of the rich.
The Jiangnan side is famous for having money, and the north side is naturally incomparable. As soon as he heard the words of this strong man, the fat man's emotions at the table immediately pointed the finger at Jiangnan's side.
"It's great to be rich, you know how to show off, it's okay now, they deserve to vomit blood!"
"Yes, half a year later, there will be excitement to watch, see how it ends in Jiangnan!"
“……”
According to the proclamation of the imperial court, houses, cars, clothes, utensils, etc., must be strictly in accordance with the law. I heard that there are rich businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have built their houses one by one to make them like the palace. Definitely not, but the more you use it, the more money you have to pay. In this comparison, the psychology of these people is much more balanced.
As everyone knows, even in the Jingshi, those poor people treat them the same way they look at the south side of the Yangtze River. With the comparison, many people who paid for it were also relieved.
Something similar happened in all corners of the Kyoshi. In the end, Liu Xingzuo, commanded by Jinyiwei, said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the speech guidance of the Jingshi side is very effective from the current point of view. The dissatisfaction caused this time was mostly aimed at the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan. ”
Emperor Chongzhen listened, smiled and nodded, this is the best.
"Your Majesty's will, the last general really admires!" Liu Xingzuo then said, "Judging from what the last general has learned, there are almost no people under the bottom who curse the government on their faces, which is also an important reason for successfully transferring their dissatisfaction. ”
"Of course, if the court says that the court collects money, it is estimated that there will be many people who oppose it." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he also said slightly proudly in his heart, "But the money they took out was directly used for good deeds, who can object?" ”
Speaking of which, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be a little secretly grateful to Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang for setting such a good limit at the beginning of the founding of the country. Now that the people of Daming are rich, and the sheep that have been raised for so many years are their turn to shear the wool. It's just a decree that without any capital, many things that the imperial court originally wanted to solve with money can be solved.
In addition, there is another advantage, that is, if you want to control the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty in the future, or cooperate with the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, you can continue to add to this matter. For example, if a soldier has made great contributions, he can also use this reward to give a first-class merit, a second-class merit or something like that, and he can also enjoy preferential treatment in food, clothing, housing and transportation.
This cannot be announced yet, and it must be coordinated while changing the social status of the Ming warriors.
After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen put this matter behind him, passed the decree, set up the Beijing camp, and had to go to see the situation of the second batch of new troops.
