The prefect Wang, who was not a person inside and outside, sent Yang Kun and the Liaodong people back to Wuchang at his own expense.

How to apply for this matter in detail to the constitution, we have to carefully consider it, and I found the criminal master to discuss it repeatedly, and he started to write the draft himself, changed it again and again, and wrote down the entire incident and the follow-up treatment in detail, saying that the troublemakers have been obtained, and they are waiting to be released.

However, it did not mention that the cause was the suspension of the exam, and the situation of Wu Tong making trouble and demolishing the hall of the government was written lightly.

While waiting for the news, Wang Xian sent the martial arts instructor to the mansion to give a lecture, telling them that the merchant had gone, and that the previous martial arts examination had not been completed, and he decided to continue the examination the day after tomorrow, and ordered them to tell the children in various places to take the exam.

Who knew that on the day of the exam, there were very few people who came to the exam, half of them were exhausted, and they had to go home. The other half naturally participated in the trouble, lest the prefect use the exam as a pretext to arrest them, so he did not dare to show his face for fear of crime.

In this regard, the prefect Wang was helpless, and could only finish it hastily this year and let everyone pass the test. And those squires came to ask several times one after another, and Wang Xian, who had nothing to hide, said honestly to his face: "This matter has been decided by the boss, and the boss must wait for the fate, and the official cannot make the decision." However, the officials promised to get them, but there is a glimmer of opportunity to exonerate them, and I will do my best to exonerate them. There are also a large number of martial arts boys gathering and destroying the lobby, all of which have been concealed. ”

Those squires were not grateful to him at all, and said with a needle hidden in their faces: "The Fuzun is sympathetic to our people, and it is truly a blessing of the place. But this incident really started because of the suspension of the exam. ”

"Alas!" Wang Xian sighed, why didn't he finish the exam first, and then deal with the people of Liaodong?

After that, some loyal squires no longer came to pester him, and there were also a few treacherous people or relatives who were imprisoned, who waited impatiently, secretly prepared a plan, and ran to Wuchang to take control.

Moreover, the military can be divided into the new faction and the old faction in general, and among the nobles and nobles, there are also the Jingnan faction and the founding faction, and there are traditional southern and northern parties in the officialdom. It seems that Xu Hao's time point has its own providence in the dark. After Zhu Yuanzhang's round after round of sweeping the officialdom, almost none of the civilian and conservative forces since the founding of the People's Republic of China have become forces, and it can be said that there are basically no so-called factions in the officialdom under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule.

After the Battle of Jingjing. Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai and others have deep qualifications. The famous minister was dealt a heavy blow. The officials are like a plate of scattered sand, which can be called the period when the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have the least right to speak, which provides excellent convenience for Xu Hao to silently promote many things. Even if there is no Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it is rare to encounter difficulties in the entire officialdom.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere was relatively open-minded, officials were willing to accept new things, Cheng Zhu Lixue had not yet formed a climate, and the eight stocks were not deeply rooted, such as newspapers, such as new-style schools, but were welcomed, because newspapers provided a platform for many readers to understand national policies and local news, and new-style schools could also educate young people more, without touching the basic national policies. Even foot binding is relied on public opinion propaganda as much as possible, and opposition and criticism are raised in various ways, and there is no blanket order to prohibit it completely.

Xu Hao kept in mind the saying that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, without the support of the cabinet and many officials, he would never forcibly promote a certain innovation, thus pushing himself to the opposite side of officialdom.

In fact, he did not participate in any national policy at all, even if he wanted to do anything, he would first communicate with Yang Shiqi Xie Jin and others, and then persuade Zhu Gaochi, often wonderful at this point in time, and also wonderful in this Ming Dynasty without Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the imperial power is shrinking unconsciously, the power of civil officials has not yet stabilized, the vassal kings are collectively suppressed, and the eunuchs are still the servants of the emperor's family, as long as they do not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, there is no eunuch party to control the government, and maintain friendship with the literati, then almost anything can be done. As long as there is a good enough reason.

If it is the Qing Dynasty that adopted high-pressure governance, the era of writing a poem will destroy the family, just in time for the early stage, then it is still honest to be a small landlord, if you are fortunate to travel to the turbulent Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, don't just think about industry to save the country, simply rebel to be simple and effective.

Xu Hao admired the well-known way of learning from things, paid attention to the development of commerce to revitalize the economy, with the fact of muskets, artillery and gunboats, he also had the confidence to speak, introduced punctuation marks and Arabic numerals, attached importance to the writing of vernacular literature, attached importance to the printing and promotion of books, attached importance to medicine and health, attached importance to all walks of life, attached importance to civil suffering, attached importance to specialized talents, attached importance to maritime trade, and repeatedly said that the literacy rate of the Ming Dynasty represented the strength and progress of a country and other refreshing topics. There will inevitably be some officials who will be infected, either actively or passively.

As the saying goes, there are still many officials who want to do something for the people for one term and benefit one party. Newspapers often publish the statistics of the provinces and counties every year, even if the statistics are not scientific and detailed, but for example, the economic scale of the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas far exceeds the rest of the provinces is obvious, followed by the two lakes and two Guangzhou, among which in recent years, Liaodong and Shandong coastal areas and Songjiang Prefecture have sprung up, even if they do not shake the traditional rich areas, they have been much stronger than Yunnan, Guizhou and other remote provinces.

In the past, this was also the main basis for evaluating officials, and now there are more statistics that are more simple and easy to understand, and the specialized industries that came into being born, that is, real professional civil officials.

Wuchang's political envoy Fu Daren is very economical, which may have something to do with his family of merchants, and he highly admires the phrase that the economy can drive the people's livelihood, he has specialized in Liaodong, and does not rely on land tax, poll tax, etc., relying on overseas trade and factory workshops and mining, that is, he can collect enough tax and silver to build bridges and roads, feed soldiers, and buy grain, from having to get all aspects of the imperial court to gradually support himself, which touched him very much.

He listened to the complaints of Yang Kun and the Liaodong people, and saw that the local people were so stubborn. In addition to the mountains and mountains in Yongshun Mansion, if you don't open the mine, I'm afraid that there will be no changes in 10,000 years, what should I do?

Senator Zuo said: "Xia Guan used to be in Nafu, and he also served as a magistrate of the county, and the local people were indeed extremely stubborn. At that time, the lower officials wanted to build roads, but they encountered many resistances, and on the one hand, they enlightened them, and on the other hand, they encountered those who did not follow the religion. I took him and did two of them. made an example, and later the people didn't dare to do anything, and built the road to the mountains, and the people along the way got benefits. On the contrary, there is strong support from all sides to build the road. ”

Master Fu said, "Yes! I want to do something. You have to make a prestige first. So that the people have a fear, although it is ugly, there is no way, and the court said that the people's wisdom has not yet opened is this reason. The vast majority of the people don't even know a single big character, and it is useless to rely on explanations alone, so they must be accompanied by grace and power, so they will naturally follow us to this road. Otherwise, now that the court has explained and handled a lot of things, the people gather to hold officials hostage at every turn, and they have opened this trend, and they have paid it back? I think the official of the Wang Governor's Mansion is a little unable to do it, so it is better to invite him back to the province for the time being, and ask the elder brother to go on a hard trip. ”

This official's name is Li Deng, who was impeached for misconduct and was not promoted, and was demoted to the political envoy department, which is equivalent to the secretary of the municipal party committee in later generations who was transferred to a vice governor in charge of health education, and was waiting to retire, and there was no quota for the senator.

It was naturally great to be able to temporarily act as the prefect, and Li Deng was immediately full of joy and hurriedly got up to thank him.

Master Fu said: "Of course, I still have to discuss this matter with Lord Ma, if he agrees, you can first put the people of Yongshun in order, this is the first priority." ”

The feudal officials of the Ming Dynasty were far less powerful than the governors of the Qing Dynasty, and the highest level of the local government was the Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, which used the political envoys to check and balance each other, which was equivalent to the provincial party secretary and governor, and was responsible for civil affairs and taxation under the rule.

In addition, the three products of the Department of Procuratorial Envoys are supervised by the Procuratorial Envoys, who are in charge of the administration of justice within a province, and have the right to refuse the interference of political envoys.

The commander of the envoy is responsible for leading troops and defense, and is also qualified to oppose orders from the political envoy. In addition, there are 110 patrol imperial histories in the thirteen roads that are running around the world, specializing in collecting any wind and grass, and taking impeachment and prosecution as their own responsibility.

The three legal departments of the Central Committee and the six departments of the cabinet are very strict with the control below, plus the many vassal palaces, the six departments that even the emperor dares to scold the people, plus the large number of scholars and scholars, so it is still relatively hard to be a political envoy.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there was a matter of mutual blame between officials, or in the face of a large-scale rebellion of the people, the imperial court appointed the imperial envoy or the thirteen imperial historians as the temporary head of a province, and concentrated the power in the hands of one person to facilitate the response, that is, the governor! The governor was directly subordinate to the imperial court, and later some provinces formed a convention, the governor was located above the political envoy of the Chengxuan, and in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a governor was simply set up, and in the Republic of China he was called the governor.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were also very hard, Zhu Yuanzhang painstakingly abolished the prime minister system that lasted for more than 2,000 years, and attributed the prime minister's power to the imperial power, but it also doubled the work pressure of the emperor, his old man could review more than 200 catties of music a day, but the descendants were not so diligent and energetic.

The birth of the cabinet is definitely the most awesome, and it is adopted by most countries today, even if they all learn from the British cabinet system, but it cannot be denied that the Ming Dynasty has pioneered, including the most perfect civil and official imperial examination system.

First of all, we must admit that China's territory is vast, the population is large, the situation is complex, and the difficulty of comprehensive management is far greater than that of European countries, and the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty is the largest, most elaborate and most complex in the world, when Europe is in the dark Middle Ages, China has established a complete and practical civil service system, compared with the British civil service revolution in the nineteenth century, four hundred years earlier.

The Ming Dynasty also had an originality, which was the establishment of the Imperial Procuratorate, which could not only advise, advise, and criticize the emperor, but also held the power of impeachment and sanction of officials at all levels such as the 13 provinces of the Ming Dynasty and the Yamen of the capital.

The exhortation of the emperor himself was carried out by the General Political Department, so the General Political Secretary could also impeach and persuade the emperor, and even had the right to seal the edicts issued by the emperor, and the emperor could not change the general political envoy at will according to personal preferences.

Except for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's father and son, in the political system of the Ming Dynasty, officials restrained and supervised each other, and the state's administrative power, including imperial power, would not be malignantly expanded.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty also had famous spy agencies, and the chaos of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was also a major tumor in the Ming Dynasty, but it must be admitted that no emperor died at the hands of eunuchs, even if the powerful Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, Wang Zhi and others, the emperor will be wiped out in an instant when he gives an order.

Some people say that the Ming Dynasty did not die in the rogue, but in the factory guard, whether it is true or not, now Xu Hao has single-handedly cut off the east factory and the west factory, restricting the rights of the Jinyi guard, and can no longer arrest officials indiscriminately without restraint, so that the civil and military officials, the people, and the army will no longer be separated from the emperor.
