Chapter 110: Zhu Youzhen, who made a guest appearance as a teacher
Since the Hongwu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has strict laws and regulations on the daily life and work of officials, and after several dynasties, the Chongzhen period was followed.
However, due to Zhu Youzhen's continuous supervision of local state and county officials and the re-expansion of Dongchang's power, the supervision system that was originally on the verge of collapse has resurfaced and is becoming more and more perfect.
And this perfect supervision law made more and more Ming officials dissatisfied.
As for the reasons for dissatisfaction, there are nothing more than these:
We and other officials have all been studying hard for decades, and they have read the books of sages and sages to become famous and become officials, so hard that your emperor can't let me enjoy it?
Don't say that you are the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if you are really an immortal in the sky, you can't hinder me from enjoying my happiness.
This kind of hedonism has been deposited in the Ming officialdom for a long time, and has become a "rule" that many people have tacitly assumed.
But Zhu Youzhen, who is familiar with history, is not a master who follows the rules.
He Zhu Youzhen is still very clear about the truth that hedonism kills people, and after the tax collection power of the household department is withdrawn to the royal tax office, the household department with agricultural tax and state treasury subsidy has more adequate funds.
For all officials of the Ming Dynasty, the distribution was also more timely, and benefited from the nationwide business network of the Ming Royal Bank.
A comprehensive use of means has been made to eliminate the various forms of exploitation that had accumulated in the heads of officials.
That is, the use of silk and goods to exchange silver and silver deductions, not only that, officials can also freely choose to withdraw the annual money on a monthly basis.
And according to their own actual situation, the grain part of the Yulu can be exchanged for Ming silver coins according to the proportion.
That is, Zhu Youzhen is constantly promoting the Ming Longyuan, constantly seeking well-being for officials, which is actually Zhu Youzhen's clean policy from another angle.
Although high salaries do not curb corruption among officials, if they do not provide enough money to support their families, then officials will be corrupt, even if they are not greedy.
will also gradually fall silent because of the barrenness of life.
After all, when the stomach is not full, even the sages may not be able to avoid vulgarity.
The gradually expanding East Factory and various inspection agencies jointly built a unique official supervision system in the Ming Dynasty, under which Zhu Youzhen originally thought that it would play a certain deterrent role in corruption incidents.
After all, it is no longer only the responsibility of the imperial court to investigate and prosecute official corruption.
Every Daming citizen can report directly to the branch of the Anti-Corruption Inspectorate set up by the local Dongchang or to the Daming Royal Financial Inspectorate.
Once the report is true, then the whistleblower can often receive a large amount of silver and two rewards.
And Zhu Youzhen once took the opportunity of the article publication in the "Daming Monthly" to promise the people of Daming that as long as there is corruption, there will be a clean government inspector of the Daming East Factory.
As long as you report it, someone will definitely investigate and deal with it.
If you report it, your personal information will be treated with the same level of confidentiality as war intelligence.
Wei Zhongxian also attached great importance to ensuring that everyone could fairly establish a bridge of dialogue with the imperial court on the supervision of officials.
Of course.. For Wei Zhongxian, as long as it is something that Zhu Youzhen ordered to arrange.
They often do everything themselves, and they dare not say that they can keep improving and find fault in everything, but they also make ordinary people unable to find faults.
Therefore, in a short period of time, the integrity supervision office of Daming completely replaced some of the functions of the original East Factory, and gave this part of the functions to be independent and at the same time gave more tough supervision and investigation powers.
"This round of targeting the state and county officials in the Huguang area took advantage of the reform of the Ming Imperial Court to attack the local soldiers, which can be said to have revealed many ugly faces of the Ming officials.."
Zhu Youzhen did not discuss with his cronies and officials in the Dongnuan Pavilion today.
Instead, he came to the Royal Academy of Management in Daming, as the only management school in Daming, where Zhu Youzhen inherited a large number of management books from the Huaxia Library.
Through the reading and data collation of a large number of books, combined with the actual situation of Daming, a management system suitable for the development of Daming has been gradually explored.
And this is not only the cradle of the training of students and scholars who have passed the new imperial examination, but more importantly, a perfect system of official training has been established here.
In this system, the teaching team of the cabinet elders, the seven departments of the Shoshu Shiro, and the left and right imperial histories as the core lecturers is mainly a teaching team, and regularly conducts nationwide unified official seminars.
Yes, Zhu Youzhen wants to use the shell of the Daming Royal School of Management.
For the Ming officials all over the world, a large college for their officials to study was created, and in this graduate school, they not only had to receive the ideological education of loyalty and patriotism.
More importantly, it is necessary to learn the new knowledge of the Ming Empire and learn scientific management knowledge.
It is necessary to understand the important role of the people to the imperial court, and to understand that while the officials are on the political side, they must also love the people like children.
"And the ugly face exposed in this matter is the drawback that exists in the appointment of officials in grassroots areas such as Damingzhou County today, that is, most of the local scholars will stay in the local area as officials."
Behind Zhu Youzhen was a huge blackboard, holding a piece of chalk made of white lime, in a classroom at the Daming Royal Academy of Management.
That's how I became a teacher.
Zhu Youzhen likes this feeling very much, although he was not a good student in his previous life, he is still a little confident in whether he can be a good teacher now.
After all, history is like a dark and bright mirror, and any actions of anyone will be recorded by it.
"There is nothing wrong with this system itself, when the transportation of the Ming Dynasty was not particularly developed, the people in every place, whether it is a scholar or a businessman, mostly know less about the outside world."
"But now it's different, "Daming Monthly" has allowed many people in Daming to see a broader world, and the vast territory of Daming has gained a drastic impact once it was published in Daming Monthly, and many people have expressed their desire to go farther to see it."
"This is a good thing, but the officials of the Ming Dynasty still stay in the locality, using part of the power of the family and clan in the locality, using the exploitation of this system, putting the well-being of the people in their own pockets, and burying the majesty of the court in a place that people can't see."
"This kind of thinking is extremely dangerous, and the consequences of the imperial power not going to the countryside are extremely serious, and I don't want to see this scene."
