Chapter 668: Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people
Zhenwu glanced at him, Lao Shi obviously didn't know about the case in Shaanxi and Gansu, so he immediately ignored him, stared at Yue Zhongqi, and said in a deep voice: "I want to go first with fast horses and microservices, in order to prevent news leakage, you send five hundred people along the post road straight to Zhending, and enter Shanxi through the deer and well, and intercept all the fast horses along the way."
After arriving in Jingcheng, he left 100 people Hou Zhen, and the other 400 people were divided into Pingding, Liaozhou, Daizhou, and Qinzhou in Shanxi, and collected all the details of the disaster relief from the local people.
Another 500 people were sent from Zhangjiakou to Jin, through Datong Mansion, Shuoping Mansion, Ningwu Prefecture, the task is the same, the two teams of men and horses to Taiyuan convergence, I stayed in Taiyuan for three days. ”
As soon as he heard Zhenwu's arrangement, Yue Zhongqi immediately reacted that it was a big disaster relief, and hurriedly replied: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
Zhenwu nodded and said: "There is a serious drought in all parts of Shanxi, and the soldiers bring their own dry food, and they are not allowed to disturb the people, and they are not allowed to harass the post stations along the way. ”
"Wechen obeys." Yue Zhongqi hurriedly bowed and said.
"Without further ado, you can kneel down first." Zhenwu looked at Yin Qi as he spoke, and when Yue Zhongqi bowed and withdrew, he said, "Do you still want to follow Brother Tenth now?" ”
Yinqi has a straightforward temperament, and he is not stupid, of course, he also knows that there is an accident in Shanxi, Zhenwu is not going to Shanxi to visit the mountains and rivers, and the head of the person may be killed if he is not good, but the governor of Shanxi, Su Keji, because of the relationship between Yue Le, the prince of Lao'an, is very close to the starling, since there is an accident in Shanxi, Su Keji is inseparable, and it is good to be able to go with him.
Besides, the old fourteen is out of Beijing, and the one in charge of the capital is the starling, and he holds the military power of the Shunyi battalion, doesn't this stimulate the starling? If the starling really can't hold it for a while, he is not a person inside and outside when he is caught in the middle, and he is still at ease with Zhenwu.
Zhenwu, who listened to it, asked, and Yin Qi salivated and said, "Your Majesty." The minister stayed in the barracks every day, and he was bored for more than a year, so he naturally wanted to go out with the emperor to breathe, and then he said. The emperor once promised to bring his ministers for a private visit. ”
"You're also gone, what about the Shunyi camp?" Zhenwu smiled and said, "I also pointed to you to sit in Shunyi and protect the Jingshi. ”
"Your Majesty, there are 100,000 soldiers stationed in Beijing and eight banners in Beijing, why do you need to guard the new army?" Yin Qi smiled and said: "Weichen implores Hu to accompany him, and the emperor will go on patrol." Someone has to relieve your boredom, right? ”
Zhenwu knew that he was afraid of staying in Jingshi, so he smiled slightly, and then he said: "Okay, I was bored along the way, so you are the only one who asks." ”
"Oh, Weichen obeys." When Yin Qideng, he smiled and said: "Weichen promises not to stuff the emperor." ”
Zhenwu nodded slightly, and said, "You and Bao Fuquan will go together to discuss with the rotating ministers of the guards, and stay in Dingxing County tomorrow." The day after tomorrow, I stayed in Baoding Mansion, and the guards didn't need too much, and the guard of honor couldn't keep up. All of them were canceled, and there was no surplus food to supply them in the land of Jin and Shaanxi. ”
Yin Qi listened to it for a while, and stayed in Dingxing County tomorrow? It was a journey of two hundred miles, and he had to bump around on the horse this day, and he didn't know how big a case there was in Shanxi, which provoked Lao Fourteen to be so ruthless, he didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Weichen obeys the order." ”
In the front hall, Zhang Pengxi, Ma Qi, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu, and Wang Luo were relatively speechless. The gentry paid the grain as an errand and the squire supervised the affairs of the magistrates, and there was not much room for discussion. Zhenwu went out on patrol, and he must have wanted to try it out in the land of Jin and Shaanxi.
And the matter of the squire's supervision of the magistrate, although it is unheard of, but the benefits are obvious, and besides, they don't know how much supervision authority Zhenwu gave to the squire, and this matter is still waiting for Zhenwu to explain in detail, what can they discuss at the moment?
They are now more concerned about Zhenwu's patrol, and several people are secretly thinking about the purpose and intention of Zhenwu's patrol, and how to arrange it for the Jingshi, this is the first tour after Zhenwu Yuji ascended the throne, and the court will treat it with caution. …,
Zhenwu returned to the front hall, and when he saw a few people getting up to salute, he waved his hand and said, "No courtesy." With that, he sat down. After sitting down, Ma Qi bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed beneficial for the country and the people for the gentry to pay grain in one place, but the drought in the northern provinces has just eased, and at this time, the servants are quite worried about whether the local squires will have a chance to take advantage of?"
Hearing this, Zhenwu couldn't help frowning slightly, the spring drought in the north, the imperial court spent tens of millions of silver relief, and exempted the provinces from taxes for a year, and there are also 'four constants' interest-free loans, which can be described as the emperor's grace, what opportunity can the local squires take advantage of? Glancing at Ma Qi, he said, "It's okay to say it directly." ”
After a little hesitation, Ma Qi said: "Your Majesty, it is not the emperor's initiative to spread the ding into the mu, the emperor is just to implement it, and when the emperor was in power, it was tried in Guangdong, although the squire was dissatisfied, but he did not dare to be dissatisfied with the emperor."
Although the Beijing newspaper is now issued, one Beijing newspaper is not lower than the county, and the second is that the foolish people in the countryside are few and literate, and the servants are worried that the public will be rich and the words of the people are terrible, which will damage the reputation of the emperor. ”
Hearing this, several people were shocked, Ma Qi's words were in his words, implying that if the gentry were launched at this time, the gentry in the world would most likely target Zhenwu, and now the emperor is still there, so as to prevent someone from taking advantage of the squire's dissatisfaction to attack with ulterior motives.
This is not unreasonable, after all, in the past six months, some of Zhenwu's measures have touched the Eight Banners system and infringed on the rights and interests of the Manmeng nobles.
After a moment of deep silence, Zhen Wucai looked at Zhang Pengxi and said, "Zhang Pengxi, what do you think?" ”
Zhang Pengxi bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, the implementation of the gentry as an errand to pay food, the gentry will naturally resist, but the emperor also gave the gentry the right to supervise the magistrates, canceled the consumption of envy, greatly increased the officials' salaries, micro-ministers steal, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people." ”
"Well said, justice is in the hearts of the people!" Zhenwu smiled slightly: "I want to see who dares to jump out, it is imperative to implement the integration of the gentry and pay for food, there is no need to say more, I don't care about fame." The matter of the squire's supervision of the magistrates was discussed. ”
Only then did he touch a soft nail, Ma Qi was also anxious to redeem it, and hurriedly said: "Although it is unheard of for the squires to supervise the affairs of the magistrates, the benefits are obvious, one can be used to appease the gentry of the world and vigorously improve the status of the gentry, and the other can effectively prevent the magistrates from expropriating and expropriating violently, and most of the fields in the townships and counties are concentrated in the hands of the gentry, in order to safeguard their own interests, they will inevitably actively perform the right of supervision, and furthermore, this move will not increase the number of officials and do not cost the court money and food." ”
"However, there are many drawbacks." Wang Luo followed up and said: "This measure can only curb the state and county officials from raising taxes privately, but it will encourage the gentry to take over the lawsuits and pit the people, and on the other hand, it will also greatly increase the difficulty of the state and county officials, because this move will promote the local gentry to form together to resist the officials." ”
Xiao Yongzao also followed: "The affairs of the county are in charge of a county, in fact, it is the money valley, the four major responsibilities of criminal name, education, and public security are inseparable from the local gentry. ”
"Not really." Zhang Pengxi said in a deep voice: "The situation of the inferior gentry controlling the county government is now there, but it is actually a mediocre official, neglecting the king's affairs, colluding with the local gentry, getting up and down their hands, grabbing money, and killing the people. After the implementation of the apportionment of the land into the mu and the gentry to pay grain as an errand, the county officials and the gentry instead formed a conflict of interest, which would force the county officials to be close to the people and turn to seek the support of the clan. ”…,
Hearing this, Zhenwu knew that he had thought about things simply, it seemed that this matter was in a hurry, this time he went to Jinshan, and he wanted to go to the county to understand the situation, thinking of this, he glanced at a few people, and then said slowly: "The state and county officials are pro-people officials, if they are in harmony with the local gentry, it is not the blessing of the local people."
I propose that the gentry supervise the local officials, not only to appease the gentry and urge the officials to be honest, but also to encourage the gentry to care about state affairs. ”
"The ministers obey." Several people hurriedly bowed and said, raised up, and Wang Zong said: "The ministers are ignorant, and they don't know how to exercise the power of the gentry to supervise, so I beg the emperor to give advice." ”
After a moment of deep silence, Zhen Wucai said: "The sales channels of the Beijing newspaper have been spread to the counties, and in the past, the local gentry were only encouraged to report the situation through the channels of the Beijing newspaper, if the gentry supervision system is implemented, the gentry must report the local situation on time every ten years, as for the supervision authority, it should cover all aspects, and the elected gentry representatives have the right to check the accounts of the county government, observe the trial, regularly and irregularly inspect the prison, and regularly inspect the city, the school palace, the almsgary, the warehouse, etc.
Of course, the gentry only have the right to supervise, point out the deficiencies, and cannot interfere in the administration and judgment of the state and county officials, and cannot arbitrarily encroach on their powers. ”
A few people looked at each other when they heard it, this power of supervision is very scary, and it really wants to be implemented, and the county officials can't live? Dealing with these gentry all day long was enough for them to be busy.
In the guard office, Yi De, the minister of the guard on duty, listened to Bao Fuquan's edict, saying that Zhenwu was going to patrol Jinshan, and he was going to leave early tomorrow morning, staying in Dingxing County, two hundred miles away, he looked at Yinqi, and then at Bao Fuquan, and said in disbelief: "Is it early tomorrow morning?" ”
"Could it be that we still dare to be pretentious? Uncle is still hesitating about something, so let's arrange it quickly. Yin Qi said casually, Ide is his uncle, and he speaks very casually.
"It's too much," Ide sighed slightly, and then ordered one after another: "Come, hurry up and gather all the ministers of the guard, and the ministers of the interior will come and discuss quickly." ”
Yin Qi smiled and said: "Uncle, I'm afraid that you should quickly arrange someone to go to the front station, if it is late today, you can still run more than 100 miles." (To be continued.)
