These clans who have passed the examination and been trained, throwing away their clan status, are actually mostly ordinary people, where have they ever seen such a tragic situation, hundreds of officials were beheaded in front of them, and the shock to them was too great. Many clans had previously fantasized that they could make money and make a fortune after becoming officials, but now the illusions have suddenly disappeared, and they have been replaced by trembling, for fear of following in the footsteps of these slain officials.

Of course, it is not enough to rely only on killing methods to keep the rule of officials clear, and after careful consideration, Zhu Youzhen decided to set up a new yamen, the Inspection Department, independent of the imperial court bureaucracy, to supervise the corruption of local officials. The Inspectorate has the power to investigate and collect evidence, and is temporarily responsible for supervising the corruption of officials below the seventh grade, and once corruption is discovered, the Inspectorate has the right to directly remove the official and investigate the crime in accordance with the Ming Law, as long as it is reported for the record afterwards.

The inspection department has set up an inspection envoy in each province, and the inspection envoy can be served by the factory guard, and each province has set up a sub-department, in which the staff are filled by locally recruited scholars or children of the clan, and the status of reserve officials is given, and once it is verified that there are officials who are corrupt, they will be promoted directly to become officials.

Of course, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, the Inspection Division can only be implemented in Yansui, Xuanda, and Liaodong, which can be fully controlled, and the conditions for implementation are completely absent in other provinces. However, because the Jinan Prefecture has investigated and dealt with a large number of officials, it will appoint a large number of clans as grass-roots officials at all levels of the yamen, so that there are conditions for implementation, and the Jinan Prefecture can now try it out.

After careful consideration, Zhu Youzhen decided to appoint Chang Wei, a hundred households in Jinyi Wei, as the Shandong inspection envoy, and then select 50 people from these clans as personnel of the inspection department to establish the Shandong inspection department. In order to strengthen the strength of the Patrol Division, another 100 Praetorian Guard soldiers were allocated to the Patrol Division as a law enforcement force.

Of course, the scope of the Inspectorate's activities is limited to Jinan Prefecture, and in other prefectures, because there is no force as a guarantee, it is really difficult to really supervise officials. And Zhu Youzhen wants to set up supervision subdivisions in other state capitals, and there are not so many manpower for the time being.

After the establishment of the Shandong Supervision Department, there was also a task to monitor the gentry and merchants in Jinan Prefecture, and the reason why the officials were corrupt was inseparable from the bribery of the gentry and businessmen. In the future, all the gentry and businessmen involved in the investigation of officials will also be dealt with severely.

In fact, in the purging of King Chade and the purge of Jinan officialdom, there were also a lot of gentry involved, and these gentry were also ordered by Zhu Youzhen to confiscate their homes, and all the land wealth was confiscated.

It is said that in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Dongchang and other prefectures, many gentry were worried that the emperor would do something to them, as in Yansui, and many of them fled to other places with their families......

Of course, Zhu Youzhen has no intention of making a move against all the gentry in Shandong, in that case, the movement will be too big, which is equivalent to directly declaring war on the gentry class, and it is not yet the time.

"Your Majesty, King Lu sent someone to send a petition for guilt, and I am willing to take the initiative to hand over 80,000 acres of Lu Domain's hidden Wang Tian, and ask Your Majesty to send someone to Yanzhou Mansion to receive it." Wang Chengen put a note in front of Zhu Youzhen.

"Hehe, King Lu still knows each other," Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, "Since King Lu knows each other, the next thing will be much simpler, follow the example of the German Domain, and implement the reform of the clan in the Lu Domain." ”

"Your Majesty, is there also an Enke Township Test for the clan in Yanzhou?" Wang Chengen asked.

Zhu Youzhen nodded: "Hold it, imitate the Jinan Township test questions, order someone to send them to Yanzhou, and order Wen Tiren to be the main examiner." The number of Lu clans is more than that of the German clan, and the number of admission places in the township examination is 500 people. Other ordinary clans that did not pass the exam, if they were willing to give up their clan status, they were all given land. ”

"Yanzhou has no officials to check the officials, how can so many sects be settled?" Wang Chengen wondered.

Zhu Youzhen said: "Then a supervision branch will also be set up in Yanzhou Mansion, and 100 Yanzhou sects will be selected to be included in the supervision branch, as long as they can find out the corruption of Yanzhou officials, won't they have a position?" The redundant clans will be with the army for the time being, and some will be used in the future. ”

In this southern tour, Zhu Youzhen has to make a big move, which requires too many manpower, and those literate poor clans, after training and training, are considered good manpower.

"By the way, another Qingtian Division can be set up, which is responsible for directly managing the official fields that have been inventoried, dealing with tenant conflicts, promoting sweet potatoes and corn and other vassal crops in the official fields, and at the same time being responsible for collecting land rents." Zhu Youzhen said again.

The Yansheng Mansion has just been discovered, and more than one million acres of fields in the Yansheng Mansion have been found, plus the fields of the German Domain, the number of fields found is almost more than 2 million mu, and the tenants of these fields belong to tens of thousands of households, and these fields are not only in Yanzhou Mansion of Jinan Prefecture, but also distributed in other provinces and even neighboring provinces, if all the tenants of these fields are pushed to the local government, it will not be long before the confiscated fields are afraid that they will be embezzled by the gentry, and most of the land taxes that should be levied on these fields will be embezzled by local officials.

The establishment of the Qingtian Division to manage the people in these fields can give the imperial court an extra million stone tax grain every year, which can not only feed the newly recruited clan officials, but also use the surplus grain to feed the army.

And the many officials trained by the Kiyota Division will also be of great use in the future!

"Are the officials of the Kiyota Division also served by these clans?" Wang Chengen asked.

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while: "You can use some clans, and more can be recruited from local scholars." You can recruit some poor talents and children, but they still have to be strictly trained, coupled with severe punishment and discipline, and the inspection department is responsible for supervision, and the corruption reaches 20 or 2 will be executed, and those who are small in the number of corruption will also be dismissed from their posts and raided their homes for severe punishment! ”

The scholars in this world are not only the gentry, but in fact, the gentry are only a very small number of scholars, and more are scholars who have not obtained fame, such as those children, or scholars who have won the examination for fame but can no longer go further. Although Xiucai is considered a scholar, but there is no qualification to be an official, the only privilege is to reduce or exempt their own forced land tax, but the road to the imperial examination is very expensive, if there is no certain family business, it is very difficult to persist in the examination, most of Xiucai is actually very poor, but suffering from not entering the ranks.

And if these talents are given the opportunity to become officials, countless people will definitely flock to them, even if they were only officials at the beginning, there are countless talents who flock to them.

The gentry class, which occupies huge fields and has great privileges, is to be severely cracked down, while the poor talented children are the objects that can be co-opted and reused. Of course, even if they want to use these talented children, they have to go through a period of training and brainwashing, and they also have to implement strict supervision, which is the responsibility of the Inspection Department.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about not having enough human resources at all when establishing Kiyota Division. Of course, the chief officials of the Qingtian Division in various places, as well as the chief officials of the Inspection Division, must be their own people, and this time the southern tour to worship the ancestors, the more than 1,000 graduates of the engineering and business schools of the Academy of Sciences who accompanied them can just serve as the chief officials of the two divisions, responsible for leading these clans to show off their talents.

However, the Kiyota Division actually has the functions of the local government, but it exists independently of the government, and once the time comes for comprehensive reform, once the war with the gentry class is completely declared, the Kiyota Division officials can completely replace the local government.
