Chapter Ninety-Five: Urban Management Bureau (for the head of the "Mu Zhiqi Baa Ming" plus more)

Three days later, the three divisions of the three law divisions interrogated Wei Guogong Liu Lin and others for treason.

Wei Guogong and others colluded with Liukou to assassinate the King of Qin, intending to subvert the Ming court, with conclusive evidence and heinous crimes.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Lin, the Duke of Wei, should be executed by Ling Chi. The remaining sixteen were all beheaded.

According to the Great Ming Law. Seventeen family members including the criminal Liu Lin, and all men over the age of ten were beheaded.

Men under the age of 10 were demoted to official slaves. All female dependents, those over 60 years old, are pardoned, and all under 60 years old are confiscated into the department as official slaves.

When the cabinet sent this verdict to Jiang Chuan's desk, Jiang Chuan read it quickly, and only changed Liu Lin's Ling Chi to a five-horse corpse.

After the regent approved it, three days later, 17 convicts including Liu Lin, the Duke of Wei, and their families, a total of 574 people, were executed in public at the entrance of the vegetable market in the capital.

There were countless onlookers that day, and it can be said that there were thousands of empty alleys.

When the warden threw down the token, the executioner raised his sword.

Rows of human heads flew into the sky, and a puff of scarlet blood, under the sunlight, reflected a bewitching light, making onlookers exclaim, and even many people fainted or vomited because of discomfort.

Seeing more than 500 heads on the ground, many people silently looked in the direction of the Qin Palace.

Everyone knows that the era that belongs to the regent Egawa has begun.

The family property of Liu Lin and other 17 criminal ministers was confiscated, and the mansion was also taken over by the imperial court.

According to the preliminary statistics of the household department, these 17 families copied out a total of 13.4 million taels of silver and 500,000 taels of gold. Other items such as silk, silk, calligraphy, painting, antique utensils and other items are innumerable, and their value has yet to be estimated.

When raiding the house, there are Qin Wang Tiewei supervising by his side, so this number should be true and reliable.

This figure surprised Jiang Chuan, and he deeply felt that the heritage of these noble families was profound, and the wealth accumulated over the past two hundred years was really unimaginable.

And Su Qin also told him. This is only all the confiscated physical objects, not including fixed assets such as granges, fields, shops, etc.

This made Jiang Chuan surprised and couldn't help but have the idea of copying a few more noble houses.

The fact that the house was being raided was too profitable, so he couldn't help but be moved.

But he just thought about it, and if he really did that, it would really be perverse. Dong Zhuo had never done this back then.

This matter was quickly put aside, and what Su Qin wanted to discuss with Jiang Chuan was another very important matter.

Su Qin said in a deep voice: "My lord, regarding the placement of the palace maids and eunuchs who have been dismissed from the palace, the minister has drafted a charter, and I also ask the lord to look at it. ”

As he spoke, Su Qin handed over a book of folds.

Egawa took the fold and set it aside. smiled and said, "Let's talk about it."

Su Qin said: "Then let's talk about the placement of these eunuchs first."

At present, the entire Beizhili area and the vicinity of Jingji, and even the entire Qingzhou have been barren and the population has been greatly reduced due to the poisonous scourge of the Liukou.

Moreover, when the rogues retreated, they carried a large number of men, so that there were few men in these areas, and the fields were uncultivated.

After these eunuchs were removed from the palace, the local government could come forward to distribute these ownerless fields to these eunuchs, and take appropriate tax exemptions, and the government would provide preferential measures such as cattle seeds, so that these eunuchs could become laborers, so that these barren fields could be cultivated again. This is one of them. ”

After Su Qin finished speaking, he paused to see that Jiang Chuan was listening carefully, and then continued:

"The second method of placement. It is to set up new jobs in the capital. Take, for example, cleaners.

In the past few days, the minister has seen that many places in the streets and alleys of the capital are cross-flowing with sewage, and the feces are drowning all over the ground, which is very indecent, and passers-by have covered their noses.

Therefore, the minister thought that he could set up a special cleaning post for these eunuchs who had been dismissed. In this way, not only can the placement of these eunuchs be solved, but also the sanitation and cleanliness of the capital can be solved, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement when he heard this, what Su Qin said was indeed a good way.

From ancient times to the present, many cities have been a headache with hygiene, and Beijing is no exception. The streets and alleys are full of garbage and urine.

Say nothing else, just one thing.

It is said that in the year of Gengzi, when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army invaded the capital, they were surprised to find that the entire capital was a huge open-air toilet, and many residents directly poured their toilets on the street in front of the door.

This made the invaders very surprised and angry, so they ordered that open defecation was strictly prohibited, and as a result, many public toilets were built, which made the capital start to be tidy.

The problem of public toilets has been a serious shortage in many cities in modern society, and many outsiders have been miserable to find toilets in the city for half a day after coming.

Jiang Chuan had also seen this phenomenon in those cities when he was in Liaodong, but he didn't expect that the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven in the capital were so dirty, which made him shake his head.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "Your method is good, just implement it like this." When the time comes, these cleaners can set up a special yamen to manage. According to this king, it is called the urban management bureau, referred to as the urban management.

In the future, let the chengguan manage the problems of cleaners and hawkers occupying the road and encroaching on the road at will. As for how to set up this new yamen, you go down and draw up a charter, and when the time comes, we will discuss it. In addition, these eunuchs worked in many yamen in the palace, and many of them had some skills, and they could also consider using these people's skills to open some special shops or workshops, and use their own products to support themselves, and the excess profits and income could be handed over to the government. ”

After listening to Jiang Chuan's words, Su Qin groaned slightly, and found that this was a good way, and said excitedly: "Lord, this method is really a good way, let them be self-reliant, so that there is no need for the imperial court to pay extra funds." As for the city administration, the minister will draw up a charter and ask the lord to look at it when the time comes. ”

Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "Actually, there are many ways to place these eunuchs, you can go down and think about it, or you can recruit the people below to brainstorm, this matter is not in a hurry." The number of these eunuchs and palace maids is very large, we can't do evil things in the end in the spirit of doing good, so we must let these people be gradually cleared out and gradually resettled. It is not possible to remove all of them in one go, but to ensure that a batch of them is removed and a batch of people are resettled. ”

Su Qin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The minister understands, please rest assured."

After talking about the eunuch, the two began to discuss the placement of the palace maid.

For the placement of palace maids, Su Qin's idea was to post notices in Beijing.

All men in the capital who have reached the age of 18 to 40, who are not married or widowed, as long as they are in good health and have a family and a business, can register with the government.

When the time comes, the government will organize these palace maids to meet and blind date with these single men, and those who like each other can be registered in the government to form a family.

In addition, if there is a palace maid who does not want to marry. The imperial court could also set up some shops or workshops suitable for women to work so that these women could be self-reliant.

Jiang Chuan also agreed with Su Qin's method, and he didn't have a good way at present, after all, this is not a modern society, but a feudal era, so there are many methods that cannot be implemented here.

Jiang Chuan finally explained: "You are fully responsible for this matter, first come up with the charter, and when the time comes to implement it, the cabinet will be anxious to assist the various yamen." Anyone who shirks the blame will be severely punished by this king. ”

After discussing the placement of eunuchs and palace maids, Su Qin proposed another matter.

"My lord, the minister thinks there is one thing that is very important. This is very important for the reputation of the main attack. ”

Jiang Chuan asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

Su Qin said in a deep voice: "Since the lord has always felt that Yuan Chonghuan and Zhou Yunyi were wronged and died, and most of the ministers and people are unhappy with the two of them. So now that the lord has just taken regent, he is just rehabilitating Zhaoxue for the two. In this way, not only will the descendants of the two families be grateful to the lord, but also the government and the opposition and the people will also praise the lord's name of benevolence and righteousness. ”
