Chapter 14 Filial piety is eternal
The world is only filial piety for a long time, and the dream is melancholy. Ren Jun has been filial piety for his mother for three years, grief and whimpering all day long, and he does not eat wine and meat, which is a good story. In March of the eighth year of Shunzhi, he returned to Beijing to take up his post, because he straightened out the financial relations between the right servants, clarified the financial chaos, and let the state apparatus of the Manchu Dynasty, which was just starting to be revived, began to turn normally.
Food is the lifeblood of the country and the first priority of people's livelihood. However, there is a shortage of inventories from time to time, and there are serious malpractices when it is time to cure them, and then the decay of corruption, if allowed to spread like a dirt disease, will only become more and more cracked, and will not disappear. The peasants of the prosperous dynasty always handed over the first mouthful of grain to the imperial court, and they gave their trust to the emperor, and they shouted "handing over the emperor's grain is not afraid of officials, and filial piety to parents is not afraid of the sky." "Give my whole heart to the country, and hope that the country and the people will be safe for a long time. However, when the world changed suddenly, when the people consciously turned in and turned into corrupt officials and corrupt officials to plunder frantically, the trust of the court was lost for a time, and over time, there was a distortion and turmoil in social relations! And habitual official malpractices are naturally accelerating the demise of a dynasty.
When the dust settled, the establishment of the Manchu Dynasty allowed the people to settle down, but if you want the people to have a sense of trust and subordination, you have to let the dynasty show righteousness! When Ren Jun took over as grain official, some officials inevitably trembled, it is no wonder that over the years, Ren Jun's reputation has spread all over the country, whether it is his wit and courage have won the admiration of the people of the world, his ingenious "rake" monk case alone is enough to make the world shocked! This guy who does not play cards according to common sense is going to take charge of the granary of the world again today, maybe there will be something earth-shattering, and some grain officials are terrified It is inevitable, because the Qing Dynasty still entrusts them with important tasks, not to cover up their crimes, and it is still difficult to fly if they commit something! And "blowing all the sand to gold", for those loyal and brave, naturally pay more attention to it.
Some people think that after several years of war, whether the army or the people starved to death, the granary must be empty, but when Ren Jun arrived at a large granary, not only was it empty, but it was a lot of mold, but the sad thing is that these grain officials only took these grains as they already had, even in the period of turmoil, let the soldiers and civilians starve to death, they were not released, lying about the military situation, saying that the grain and grass were in short supply, once these officials were investigated, who interceded for him, it was simply a matter of care! However, some warehouses were sold by bold officials and exchanged for silver taels, and soldiers were sent to the people's homes to plunder and gradually fill, and these will naturally not be spared! What's more, it is clear that there is grain in the treasury, and the officials use unscrupulous means such as making books and drawing tickets to justifiably enter their own homes, which is really infuriating and hateful! And the people are still living a life of hunger and cold! These officials are lawless, and it is really intolerable!
After several months of cleaning up and rectifying these corrupt officials, all of them were punished, but nearly 100,000 stone of grain were added to the granary. Naturally, the emperor was also very pleased with Ren Jun's ability.
In September of the eighth year of Shunzhi, the Shunzhi Emperor went hunting, stationed Dong Guozhuang, the governor of the Cangchang household department Ren Jun, and the imperial envoy Jiao Yurui and others were given food by the emperor, and robes and hats were rewarded to commend their merits. The next day, Emperor Shunzhi stationed on the dam, Ren Jun, Wang Yongji and others accompanied Emperor Shunzhi to inspect the wharf on the dam, and praised Ren Jun during his tenure, "For all kinds of personal fraud of officials, Ren Jun specially refuted the correct, clarified the many years of accumulation of defects in the warehouse since the Ming Dynasty, and said Ren Jun: "Honest and self-disciplined, and the group of people who dare not do it, hung for a long time and then plummeted to the front, the year increased by more than 100,000!" It greatly alleviated the crisis of defeat in the early years of the Qing Dynasty and made an important contribution to maintaining the survival and operation of the central organ of the Manchu Dynasty!
In May of the tenth year of Shunzhi, Ren Jun Shangshu: (the right servant of the household department), his same position (the former deputy capital of the imperial history) personally awarded the seal for two months, but he was determined to be anxious for the public, accompanied by the field to start, his initial government can be expected to be effective after the effect of Fang Xing, you hope that the emperor will miss the heavy affairs of the grain, fortunately win people, give the Taiwan to stay, and the national economy is very fortunate. “
The emperor saw Ren Jun's sparseness and praised it greatly. From then on, Ren Jun's position in the court as a Han minister was more stable, and his fellow countryman Sun Tingquan also held important positions, and they were like-minded and formed a backbone in the court, which played a decisive role in the conflict of interests between the Manchu royal power and the Han people, or the alleviation and reconciliation of the Manchu-Han conflict.
As a small number of Manchus, they can occupy China and establish a dynasty, and naturally have their strong courage, but it is far from enough to govern the country with their inherent royal spirit, and the entire Qing Dynasty will be governed better only by relying on the full cooperation of Hanchen. And only when Hanchen has a foothold in the imperial court, the people can have stability at all. The contradictions between the Manchu ministers and the Hanchens above the court also often occur, whether it is discrimination or jealousy is inevitable, and the Hanchens headed by Ren Jun and Sun Tingquan fought for reason on issues related to national righteousness and people's livelihood, and fought for the original status of the Han people in the court. Otherwise, if the Qing Dynasty is only the world of the Manchus, and the Han people are subservient to the people, they will never be able to raise their heads, and the Qing Dynasty will be an empty word! And if Hanchen's power in the court is not cohesive and loosened, he will suffer even more. Therefore, the affairs of the DPRK and China are more fierce than the dispute between the friends of the Ming Dynasty, and the future Ren Jun and other Hanchen have a long way to go for themselves or the people's livelihood!
Fortunately, Emperor Shunzhi had a lofty heart, and in the reconciliation of the incident, he was able to listen to the justification of the Han Chen, and was able to make people surrender, and with the full cooperation of Dolgon, the prestige of the Qing Dynasty among the Han Dynasty and among the people was rising day by day. Emperor Shunzhi was appointed as a talent, and he also paid more attention to both ability and political integrity, rather than only taking candidates for Manchu ministers, although some Manchu ministers were dissatisfied with this, but they could only secretly admire the ability of Han ministers such as Ren Jun, and they were ashamed.
