Chapter 177: Emperor Chongzhen's Methods
The first wind and rain drifted away
During the Spring Festival holiday in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen had a very happy time, mainly because he received a bit more red envelopes.
Through the combination of beating and pulling the royal family and nobles, some of them were smart and clever people who knew the emperor's needs and entered the palace to pay protection fees.
Of course, the amount of money per person varies, some people are more, some people are less, it all depends on their consciousness and judgment of the current situation.
At this point, Emperor Chongzhen did not force how much it was necessary.
At least these people are more in awe than those dead pigs who are not afraid of boiling water, and you can help me and be indifferent, aren't they?
However, having said that, there are also some people who are opportunistic and perfunctory.
Let's put it this way, some people have a lot of property in their families, but they deliberately cried poor with Emperor Chongzhen, and took a small part of it out, in a vain attempt to deceive them.
They thought that Emperor Chongzhen couldn't do anything about them.
After all, there is a lot of secrecy in such a thing as property, who knows about it?
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know how much property they had, but he didn't want to be a fool, so he called Lao Wang of Dongchang, Li Ruolian of Jinyi Wei Luoyang and Public Security Division.
There is no way, they all think they are very smart, but they don't know that Emperor Chongzhen, who has a factory guard in hand, wants to find out the property of officials and nobles, and it is not a trivial matter.
In this way, Emperor Chongzhen could know which nobles deceived him.
In a word, take a small notebook and remember it, and then you will have to settle accounts after the autumn.
As a king, how can you be deceived?
I'm sorry for those who deceived me, since you love money, for the sake of your ancestors who shed blood and sacrificed for the Ming Dynasty, I can let you spend the rest of your life.
But, I'm sorry, your family's career has come to an end.
Don't think that I can't play without you, if you want to be my dragon legs, you can line up from the capital to Nanzhili without repeating.
At this point, Emperor Chongzhen still has this self-confidence.
In this world, I don't know how many children from poor families are eager to get ahead?
"Daban, the officials in charge of the four products of the capital in the East Factory, find out their Xuntian, Zhitian and the acres of land they occupied, and all of them are archived in the file, which must be accurate."
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen instructed Lao Wang.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he simply touched the official's property and made it easy to use in the future.
Lao Wang leaned over to receive the order, and Emperor Chongzhen said to Li Ruolian again: "The Public Security Department is responsible for finding out their industry and business conditions, and they will be handed over to Dongchang for archiving." ”
Li Ruolian was ecstatic in his heart, when did the Department of Public Security also become the peripheral organization of the factory guard?
However, it seems that the manpower of his own security department is insufficient.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, the Department of Public Security needs to increase manpower."
Li Ruolian has an upright personality and applied on the spot.
"Hmm!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded, seriously considering Li Ruolian's suggestion.
The Department of Public Security is a newly established unit in Daming, and its main function is to collect protection money from shops in the capital, which is actually a model of alternative taxation.
It should be said that good results were achieved.
Last year's half-year income collected a total of more than 700,000 taels of protection fees, which increased a lot of income for the inner treasury.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen also intended to expand the scale of the Public Security Division and expand to the cities around the capital.
But where did the key recruit this person from?
Recently, the factory health business has been busy, and they are also expanding their recruitment, so they can't deploy personnel to support the Public Security Division.
If recruited from the people, Emperor Chongzhen was afraid that people would be too honest and couldn't control the scene.
You must know that the work of the Public Security Department is special, and it is necessary to use some subordinate means to make the merchants obediently pay the protection fee.
Especially when it is not in the capital, without the support of Jinyiwei, it is difficult to carry out the work.
"Emperor, the old slave has a suggestion, it is better to recruit some people from the splashes who were arrested last time to enrich the Public Security Division."
Among the three, Lao Wang understood the situation here best, and also understood Emperor Chongzhen's difficulties, and put forward his own suggestions.
"Yes!" Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up and immediately agreed to Lao Wang's suggestion.
What is called the outside file of the East Factory, in fact, it is the famous back-handed man and temporary worker in later generations.
What dirty water and everything wrong is poured on them, a group of special talents who work hard and do not explain.
Do more, take less, have to take the blame if something happens, and are inherently inferior to others.
I didn't expect it to be in the Ming Dynasty.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was not worried that they would harm the people.
For they are the scourge of merchants.
The wicked must grind for the wicked!
To be honest, most of the merchants in Daming are not good birds, and now it is just right to let these splashes deal with the merchants.
"Emperor, the big case of the War Bureau a year ago, a total of 256 people were involved, the size of the crime has been determined, it is divided into five classes, and the rest are all imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, how should it be handled?"
Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was happy, Lao Wang reported another thing.
The case of the War Bureau a few years ago involved the household department, the military department, and the Ministry of Industry, and some of those who should have been killed were killed, and those who should have been copied were also copied, but there were still some officials who had not been convicted, and they did not know how to deal with them.
"Whoever is guilty, is it all clear? Who paid the money? ”
Emperor Chongzhen came up and asked quite directly, who paid the money?
Obviously, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, this case is not a case, and it has little to do with it.
It is a matter of who is going to pay the money and how much money is being paid.
The three of them looked at each other, and they didn't react to the emperor's "directness" for a while.
Fortunately, Lao Wang was still clever, and immediately said loudly: "Report to the emperor, there are more than 200 people who have confessed their guilt, and no one has paid the money, so I don't know ......."
"Choose some people with less criminal responsibility, better confessions, and more atonement money, and get a medical parole!"
Facing Lao Wang's overwhelmed look, Emperor Chongzhen said casually.
Medical parole?
What is this?
The three of them are stupid, they haven't heard of it, they don't understand what the emperor means?
Finally, Luo Yangxing plucked up his courage and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what this 'medical parole' is?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen was embarrassed for a while, he was really talking nonsense, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the next generation, if he serves his sentence well, he can reduce his sentence, and he can be released on medical parole if he is sick.
Inexistent.
"Medical parole means that those who have paid the atonement money have a better attitude, and those who have not committed serious crimes can get out of their cells in the name of recuperating at home as a reward for actively paying the atonement money......"
Since the words were said, there was no reason to retract, and Emperor Chongzhen explained the matter.
The three of them were sweating in their heads, and the emperor was too violent, and he actually had this kind of operation for the sake of silver.
"The emperor is clever, and the old slave obeys the order!"
Lao Wang leaned over and replied.
"Companion, there are some people who are waiting and watching, and they think that I will not do anything to them, this group of people, you have to talk to them.
In this way, they know that the good and the bad are powerful, understand? ”
To solve these miscellaneous matters, Emperor Chongzhen's focus is still on Xungui.
"Emperor Qiqi, I don't know what this interview specifically refers to, or to that extent?"
Lao Wang was confused, the emperor's new terms are a bit much, I haven't heard of it myself, I don't know what the process is?
"This interview is to put people in the teahouse, drink a cup of tea, talk about the weather, talk about life, talk about ideals, etc., and then put people back. It's called an interview, you know? ”
Emperor Chongzhen tried hard to recall the 21st century's very good security bureaus, agents, FBI and the like.
There is a privilege to ask someone to drink tea and coffee, and be scared half to death by the person you are interviewing, and do everything obediently.
Emperor Chongzhen thought this was very good, why didn't he invite them to drink tea and talk?
This also allows them to feel the care of the emperor and the beauty of life. Only then will they have the motivation to pay money and know the preciousness of life.
"You Dongchang do things, don't always go to punishment at every turn, pay attention to civilized case handling, what I want is silver, not torture people, beat people ......"
Emperor Chongzhen said a lot of wordy, and the key issue was silver.
Silver is precious, the price of freedom is higher, if it is for life, the field can be thrown away.
Emperor Chongzhen just wants to force these people to take out the silver, whether you sell the land or borrow it everywhere.
Anyway, as long as the silver, I don't have much interest in beating you to the ground, shouting and killing.
Lao Wang also understood what the emperor meant, that is, to coerce others and scare others to pay the silver quickly, but he must be polite, so that Dongchang is "civilized in handling cases" and "treats people in a good way"?
To tell the truth, Lao Wang also very much agreed with the emperor's interview.
Historically, Dongchang has been synonymous with horror.
When you enter the East Factory, you still want to go out well, which is all very capable, and there are only a handful.
It's just that in this way, although the East Factory is powerful, its reputation is also stinky.
Now, the emperor said that he should handle cases in a civilized manner, ask others to drink tea, talk about life, and change other people's attitudes and understandings of life, which is much better than fighting and killing as soon as something comes up.
If you beat someone, you have to be born in stinky sweat.
Civilized case handling! Yes, this is it.
Lao Wang felt that it was very suitable for him.
"The old slave understands what the emperor means, so he will do it immediately, and he will definitely handle the interview properly."
Lao Wang is full of confidence in this matter.
If such a simple thing can't be done well, is it still necessary for me to do the position of the superintendent of the East Factory?
"Well, well, this thing, as soon as possible.
For those who still refuse to give in after the interview, further measures can be taken to invite the person to the small black room as a guest......"
Emperor Chongzhen only cared about what he said, and didn't see Lao Wang's dazed look.
"Emperor, the old slave doesn't know what this little black house is?"
Lao Wang felt that he was very stupid, and he couldn't pay attention to the meaning of the emperor.
This, for a factory governor, is quite bad, if you can't pay attention to it, the emperor will not treat you, and what awaits you is alienation and transfer.
"It's just a little black room, but it's a little special.
This room doesn't need to be too big, it can put a single bed, so that people can walk a few steps inside, this room, must ensure that it is not transparent.
Also, make sure to make sure this house is quiet.
That is, the person who lives in this house cannot let him hear anything other than his own voice.
Neither can he talk to anyone, eat, drink, or have any contact with anyone......
Emperor Chongzhen tried his best to recall the characteristics of this "little black house" and said it carefully.
Lao Wang's admiration for Emperor Chongzhen is already like a surging river, out of control.
It is said that the emperor is the son of the Holy Heaven, and now it seems that it is really good, and he can even come up with this kind of thing.
This is much more powerful than inventing some cruel punishment, this little black house, what directly tortures the human spirit!
I think if I stay in it alone, it's dark, and then no one talks to me, and I scare myself, or I'm afraid I'm going crazy in a short time.
