Chapter 618: The Imperial Power Goes to the Countryside

"Chinese people are ignorant, ignorant as ......" Zhu Houwei closed the recital and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

What I saw just now is not uncommon among the people, and it can even be said to be an inevitable product of this era, Zhu Houwei has also seen similar reports before, but he has never thought about it, not because he doesn't want to take care of it, but the time is not ripe.

Because this matter involves the imperial power to go to the countryside!

Like the abolition of conscription, this is a major policy of the Dingge dynasties!

Its influence is not even much lighter than that of land reform?

Didn't the saints of the past know the importance of the imperial power going to the countryside, no!

They know it, but even the most ambitious king can only face this with more than enough heart.

It's too difficult......

With the number of talents cultivated in the imperial examination era, if you want to let the imperial power go to the countryside, then there will be several times more officials, and there will be several times more officials, which means that the financial pressure is unprecedentedly huge, and it is impossible for ordinary dynasties to bear it.

And the biggest confidence of the Jiajing Dynasty is that it is rich, and the second is that there are many people who read!

Therefore, the difficulty of the imperial power to go to the countryside is much less than that of previous dynasties.

The newspaper that Zhu Houwei read is actually nothing new, that is, a woman in the folk was judged by the clan elders in the village, and in the end, the woman was sunk in the pond in the name of bad morals and customs.

There are more such things in this world today, and the government will not take care of it and is too lazy to take care of it, and it is not even a dereliction of duty......

But what is different this time is that this woman was framed!

The cause of the incident is that the second son of the township elder fell in love with this woman, but this woman has been engaged to the man in the next village, and she will get married in less than two months, so it is naturally impossible to commit to this son, but who would have thought that this man would sneak into the woman's house at night and defile the woman, and beat the woman's father to a serious injury, and finally accused the woman of communicating with the scoundrel in the township. According to the rules of the township, the female dipping pig cage was sunk into the pond.

The means can be called outrageous, but what they don't know is that there is a heavenly eye in this world, and these ubiquitous eyes will sort out what happens in various places and report it to their superiors, and after the superiors sort it out, they will report it to their superiors according to the situation.

If this matter is not implicated in bribing officials, it is estimated that it may not be able to be reported, after all, it is a matter in the township, which is very common and not unusual, but bribing officials is different, these are all black materials, and they may be able to be used one day.

Zhu Houwei is also idle, he likes to look through the newspapers of Tianyan, if it is a busy time in previous years, I am afraid that even if it is placed on his desk, as long as it is not marked as particularly important, it is estimated that he may not have the opportunity to see the holy face.

"What does the imperial brother think?" Zhu Houwei waited for Zhu Houzhao to finish reading, so he asked directly.

Zhu Houzhao, who was lying on the chair bored, pouted and said: "What's so good about this, the evidence is conclusive, just arrest all the people and exterminate the clan."

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "Killing must be killed, but in the world as big as the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing is estimated to be as many as a carp crossing the river, and it is useless to kill alone......"

"So what are you going to do? Is it possible to plow Daming again? ”

"My brother is thinking about the imperial power to go to the countryside......"

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Zhu Houzhao muttered, his younger brother has been chatting with him these days, and naturally he has also talked about the imperial power going to the countryside, but he doesn't care, because at least in Dawu, it is almost impossible to realize the imperial power to the countryside......

"There is no easy thing in this world, go and call Zhai Luan."

After a while, Zhai Luan entered the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, please see Emperor Taiwu."

"Zhai Aiqing is exempt." After speaking, he showed the report to him.

Zhai Luan is confused, this kind of thing also needs to find him?

This kind of folk matter, looking for heaven and earth, at most, only need to find the local three law divisions, catch what should be caught, and kill what should be killed.

"Zhai Aiqing looks a little unimpressed." Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "There is no trivial matter in the affairs of the people, and everything needs to be seen through the appearance to see the essence, this matter seems to be just a heinous case among the people, but why did such a case happen, Zhai Aiqing has ever thought about it?"

Ever thought about it...... Thinking about a fart......

In the Jiajing Dynasty, he was tired of being the first minister, how could he have the energy to pay attention to such a thing.

"The people don't raise officials and don't hold them accountable, what a simple six words, even if the officials of the Ming Dynasty shirk their responsibilities for themselves, do nothing, and make a good excuse for the corpse to eat, but it is the people who govern the people, not only the officials of the world!

In this world, only I can decide a person's life and death, and there are only three law divisions! When will the local government turn a deaf ear to the lives of the people, and when will the local village elders and clan elders be able to casually use lynching and disregard human lives!

In this case, not to mention that this woman was wronged, but also died, even if she was not wronged, a villager could kill her with a single sentence, so what do you need to do with the three law divisions, and what do you need to do with all kinds of laws! ”

"Your Majesty said yes." Zhai Luan wanted to wipe his sweat with his sleeve, but he still held back, mainly because he hadn't figured out what the emperor wanted to do when he called him today.

To tell the truth, it's not easy for him, the head of the Ming Dynasty, how many people think that he is not qualified enough to stare at the seat under his ass, the key is bad luck.

Such a big thing as land reform happened three months after he took office, and he encountered such things that offended the whole world, and you said that he was unlucky or not.

What about the predecessor Wang Shouren? He was fine, he died of an illness, but he fell into a huge name, and the eyes of the jealous were red.

"I called Zhai Aiqing here today to let Zhai Aiqing take the lead in doing something......"

Zhai Luan chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"This is the imperial power going to the countryside." Zhu Houwei said solemnly: "To put it simply...... Isn't the administrative structure of the Ming Dynasty terminated at the county level now, and now I want to let the administrative units go down to the township or even the village! ”

Zhai Luan was dumbfounded, his brain was almost insufficient, and he felt that the emperor liked to think of a play, just because of this little thing, it was going to make such an earth-shattering fuss, as for it......

"Your Majesty, if the administration goes to the countryside, there will be countless more officials, the financial burden of the country will be extremely serious, and there will also be too many redundant officials ......"

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "I know Zhai Aiqing's concerns, so it depends on how to do it, for example, there is no need for the tax department to go to the countryside, and it is enough to collect taxes from all over the country if there are tax collectors, for example, there is no need for courts and procuratorates, and if the people want to file a lawsuit, they can go to the county seat to file a lawsuit, right?"
