Huangji Gate, this morning held the morning court again.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"Flat."

After the ministers bowed, they stood up one by one, and the faces of the officials above the court had changed a lot, and a group of high-ranking officials of the Donglin Party were all dismissed and questioned, or arrested and examined.

All the officials found that this time the emperor of the early dynasty burned a charcoal stove in the palace, and these tribute charcoals were all red Luo charcoal, all of which were black and shiny, and they were smokeless and tasteless when burned, and the fire power was long-lasting.

In the early days, the emperor did not give them charcoal stoves, and many officials were frozen with their hands and feet. This time, however, the emperor was compassionate to his ministers, not only on the charcoal stove, but also on the chairs, and gave seats to the elderly officials.

Previously, Zhu Youxiao had no way to discuss government affairs with these officials at all, and the relationship between the two sides was very stiff.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat."

"The minister has the right to play." Wang Shaohui, the secretary of the ministry, came out of the ranks and bowed down.

"Exactly."

"Your Majesty, the cabinet and the six ministries are now vacant, and they should be immediately elected to fill the vacancies to ensure the normal operation of government affairs." Wang Shaohui said.

"Exactly."

"The snake can't do it without a head, so the East Pavilion should be promoted first. The minister elected Shen Yun, a scholar of Dongge University, as the chief scholar of Dongge. Wang Shaohui said hard, who will be the head of the cabinet, the emperor has already decided, and now the election is just a formality.

Of course, the emperor can also not take the line of recommendation, he can appoint by himself, Fang Congzhe was appointed by Emperor Wanli himself, and other parties were naturally unhappy, Emperor Wanli simply removed all the people in the cabinet, and as a result, there was only one Fang Congzhe in the cabinet, and one was six years.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe is a veteran minister of the royal family, and the love of incense is naturally not comparable to other officials.

Since a group of political forces have been supported above the court, Zhu Youxiao naturally does not need to use any brute force.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

At this time, a group of 'eunuch' officials came out to second, and the other Donglin party officials trembled one by one, and they didn't dare to come out to touch the emperor's mold.

In less than a month, the Donglin Party has lost more than 60 officials, all of whom have been implicated in the three clans, and everyone can see that the emperor has an opinion on the Donglin Party.

Anti-corruption is anti-corruption! For Mao to stare at the Donglin Party? Those Qi Chu Zhejiang Xuan Party is clean?

The emperor used high-sounding reasons to rectify the Donglin Party, and this group of Donglin Party had no other way than to spread rumors.

It's a pity that this trick doesn't work well in the north, especially in the North Zhili area. On the contrary, the emperor completely stinked the reputation of the Donglin Party.

At present, the Donglin Party still has the upper hand in the southern region, and the rumors it spreads still confuse many ignorant people. And those businessmen and magnates did know the truth, but the emperor harmed their interests, and naturally unanimously promoted Zhu Youxiao as a faint king.

It's just that the southern provinces are obviously not in chaos, and Zhu Youxiao doesn't care very much. Just don't mess up in the north, once the north is in chaos, the Ming Dynasty will be finished.

Since ancient times, the emperor was not good at war, and it was a fact that the south was not good at war, and only when everyone was united and the productivity exceeded a lot, could the south compete with the north, such as the Song Dynasty.

The south was controlled by the nobles and chaebols, and was already in a state of high autonomy. In later generations, some people shouted all day long that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they could only throw the north to thieves and wild boar skins, and then move the capital to the south. If so, what will happen to the hundreds of millions of people in the north? Moreover, the population and foundation of the north are lost to thieves and wild boar skins, and if others integrate resources, they will not blow up the chaotic south in two times?

Zhu Youxiao's current goal is mainly to maintain stability in the north and integrate resources. Since the south has a high degree of autonomy, it can only collect some taxes for the time being, and it is unrealistic to fully collect commercial taxes. As long as the north can stabilize dìng and prevent thieves and wild boar skins from gaining population, there is nothing to worry about thieves and wild boar skins.

After all, the south has always sought wealth rather than officials, and the military threat is very small, as long as it ensures that it is not killed by the shadow, as for rumors or something, how to spread rumors and how to spread rumors. When the north is clear, it is natural to turn the troops to deal with the southern nobles and chaebols.

In addition, the people in the south are at least starving to death now, and they don't need to be saved so urgently.

So that the current Donglin Party in Beijing, has become a big villain that everyone shouts and beats, this time the early dynasty saw a group of 'eunuchs' also have a lot of people, jumping out is obviously of little significance, so I have to continue to stand silently.

"Exactly."

"Minister Shen Yu bowed to thank the emperor." Shen Yun's expression was a little excited, the chief scholar of the East Pavilion is the prime minister! It is definitely the pinnacle of the career.

Reaching the top is a great achievement in life.

"The minister elected Cui Chengxiu as the head of the household department ...... Shangshu"

"Seconded by the Minister"

"Seconded by the Minister"

"Exactly."

"Ministers Elect ......"

"Exactly."

"Exactly."

Zhu Youxiao repeated that it was just one word, and he didn't bother to say a word more, and the group of Donglin Party below even hid his face and looked at it in shame. Even if it's a formality, be careful! What does it mean to have the same repeater?

This is a spoils sharing meeting, a group of eunuchs are promoted by rockets, and one by one they soar into the sky.

From the six Shangshu, to the six servants, and the matter, all of them were replaced by eunuch officials.

"The restoration of the evil party is the misfortune of the world and the misfortune of the people." At this time, there was a low sigh among the ministers, and many people heard it, and a group of people turned their heads to look, but they didn't find who was speaking, but a group of eunuchs showed a smug smile on their faces. has the emperor as a backer, and the confidence is so sufficient.

Above the court, although there are still many Donglin Party horses, they are no longer able to stop the eunuch party's spoils sharing meeting. This kind of blatant distribution of spoils is also very hateful.

The results of the distribution of the spoils have been agreed before, so naturally there is no need to talk too much.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this anti-corruption campaign has achieved tremendous results, but it can also be described as shocking, and officialdom corruption is rampant. I have been thinking about it for a long time, many officials are greedy and desecrated, and it is because I have decided to raise the salaries of the ministers, what do you think? Zhu Youxiao threw out the issue.

"What the emperor said is very true, but the imperial court is in financial distress, and there are many officials in the country. It is better to raise the income in batches, and then increase it when the imperial court's finances are full. Shoufu Shen said with a reference to yì.

"Then the cabinet has a plan!" Zhu Youxiao instructed that the cabinet is still the main force in handling government affairs, and it must do things, otherwise why raise them!

After the cabinet has processed it, it will be sent to the celebrant for approval.

Zhu Youxiao sometimes doesn't want to deal with government affairs, so he can let the queens do it for him. They don't need to be too assertive, as long as they can evaluate the Cabinet's proposals in accordance with various principles.

In addition, the cabinet, the celebrant and the harem contain each other, and as long as Zhu Youxiao does not ignore the government for a long time, there will be no problems. After all, if something goes wrong, there will inevitably be a reaction among the three parties, and it is easy to figure out which side of the problem lies.

"Obey."

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the reconstituted cabinet was discussed. Soon, he came up with a plan to first increase the salaries of officials who are prone to corruption.

First of all, all the Beijing officials are promoted, and then the local county orders, governors, prefects, governors, and governors are all promoted.

The salary of Ming officials can only be said to be almost the lowest in history.

The uninhabited officials received 3 stone of rice per month, and the official of the first grade was 87 stone of rice. To say that according to this Yulu, Zhengyipin officials can't even afford to buy a house in the capital.

Therefore, it is already an unspoken rule that there are actually no truly honest officials at the end of the year, and there is filial piety to superiors and subordinates, even if they are honest officials.

Those honest officials of the Donglin Party are actually honest on the basis of ignoring the unspoken rules. If you really want to investigate it, everyone has a handle.

This time, the first product of the month is 1000 yuan (the original 87 stones), from the first product 900 yuan (the original 72 stones), the second product 800 yuan (the original 61 stones), from the second product 700 yuan (the original 48 stones), the third product 600 yuan (35 stones), from the third product 500 yuan (the original 26 stones), the fourth product 450 yuan, from the fourth product 400 yuan, the fifth product 350 yuan, from the fifth product 300 yuan, from the sixth product 250 yuan, from the sixth product 200 yuan, from the seventh product 180 yuan, from the seventh product 150 yuan, 130 yuan for the eighth product, 100 yuan from the eighth product, 80 yuan from the ninth product, 50 yuan from the ninth product, and 20 yuan for the unentered stream (the original 3 stones).

There are only more than 30,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty, which is an incredibly small number for such a huge country, and it is almost the lowest in the history of all major dynasties. However, at this time, the Chinese yamen, like later generations, also had many temporary workers who were not organized.

However, if you raise it comprehensively, the imperial court really has no money.

Therefore, this time, I will first mention the Beijing officials, as well as the local leaders. First of all, in the Jingguan, the cabinet grade is relatively low, and there are only five grades. However, after this promotion, the first assistant of the cabinet also enjoys the monthly salary of the first product, and the second assistant enjoys the monthly salary of the first product.

After a lot of money, more than 2,000 officials have enjoyed the standard of the new salary, and more than 1,000 officials who have not entered the stream have enjoyed the treatment of 20 yuan a month.

The annual increase in fiscal expenditure is more than 2.3 million, which is actually not a lot of money at the national level. Although it is only more than 1,000 officials, it is because the officials of the higher ranks are basically in the capital.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao took out another 500,000 yuan and privately distributed it to the 'Eunuch Party', which is actually the Apocalypse Party, Wei Zhongxian has been sent to the Taxation Bureau by Zhu Youxiao at this time, and the command of these Qi Chu Zhejiang Xuan Party Ma Zai is Zhu Youxiao himself, and the subordinate is Shen Xiao, the first assistant of the cabinet.

The reason why another sum of money was distributed privately was mainly because since this group of officials had defected to the emperor, the emperor naturally could not treat them badly.

It's just that at the same time as this batch of silver is distributed, it is also the third chapter of the law, and if anyone dares to be corrupt again, the consequences will be extremely severe. (To be continued.) )
