Thirty years of Hongwu.

Da Ming seems to have become unfamiliar to everyone overnight.

In the sky of Yingtianfu, it is rare to see the blue sky of the past, and the gray sky falls layer by layer, turning into the white tax silver in the treasury of Yingtianfu.

The Yamen, the governor of Zhili, is in full swing to collect authority from the 18 prefectures of Nanzhili, and at the same time, the mature industrialization reform accumulated by Tianfu is also swept away from the Beijing division to the 18 prefectures of Nanzhili.

The cement road from Beijing is getting longer and longer, and it has begun to form a dense road network in the 18 prefectures of Nanzhili.

The Ministry of Industry is ambitiously planning an unprecedented project.

Under the leadership of Zhang Ergong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, they will build a bridge on the Yangtze River moat, which has been flowing for hundreds of millions of years, so that people can walk on the ground.

Technically, the Governor of the River, Yamen, has accumulated a lot of experience for the Ministry of Industry.

The dams in the upper reaches of the Yellow River have basically been completed, and Pan Deshan, the minister of the river governor, sent a full five truckloads of river water conservancy and road system from Luoyang City to the imperial court after the beginning of the year.

The silver of the white flowers and the golden gold were excavated and mined from the four provinces of Yingzhou and the southern regions, and turned into money and grain for the people to work in the hands of the household department.

Taiping Province to the west of Yingtianfu is building a huge steel industry cluster, with the Yangtze River as a link, and the steel raw materials and steel raw materials produced in the upper reaches of the country are continuously transported to the territory of Taiping Province.

The production of large steel structures such as heavy artillery and steam engines, which were required by the imperial court, was increasing day by day.

The raw material demand for the new ironclad steam warship ordered by the Longjiang Shipyard has also been delivered to the Taipingfu Iron and Steel Industry Cluster.

Adult wrist-thick rivets were forged in batches and sent to the Longjiang Shipyard on the railway connecting Taiping Province to Yingtiancheng.

With the help of a water hammer driven by the river, it was lifted all day and night, and then fell heavily, forging every piece of steel to the standard set by the craftsmen.

Once these steel pieces are forged by water hammer, they are sent directly to the Longjiang Shipyard by river boat.

The people of Nanzhili no longer have a single pursuit to work in the government-run workshop.

Because the Governor of Zhili, Yamen, issued a new new policy order.

Starting from September 18, the 30th year of Hongwu, all the people who work in the 18 prefectures of Nanzhili will receive a guarantee called endowment insurance.

This guarantee is, of course, limited and demanding.

The common people need to completely break away from farming, and at least 20 days a month need to work in government or private workshops.

After meeting the requirements, these people need to work in the workshop continuously or for a total of 20 years before they can begin to receive coverage.

The money is not much, according to the preliminary plan of the governor of Zhili, Yamen, he can probably receive a guarantee of 300 wen per month.

And this money will be paid entirely by the workshops where the people are located, and will be collected by the tax divisions of the Nanzhili Domestic Taxation Bureau, and the transfer of Daming Silver will be coordinated and invested in various local commercial investments.

After experiencing the last destruction of Zou Xueyu, the businessmen of Nanzhili have been completely rotten.

If they move away from Nanzhili at this time, they will not be severely levied by the government again.

And as long as they pay 100 yuan of pension insurance to those workers every month, they will not lose money if they calculate it, except for honestly starting to implement the administrative order of the governor's yamen, these people also began to think about how to evade this regulation.

The Ming Dynasty is starting from Nanzhili and gradually becoming what people could not understand and imagine in the past.

At the same time that Zou Xueyu was opening and closing to implement various reforms in Nanzhili, the assessment of officials at all levels below the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, which had been determined long ago, was finally put on the agenda.

According to Governor Zou's meaning, the tenth day of August is a good day, and the entire Nanzhili Prefecture and County Governments, including the Transshipment Division, the Lianghuai Governor's Salt Transshipment Division, and the Caoyun Division, need to participate in the assessment.

For this reason, several transshipment divisions of Nanzhili jointly supervised the salt transshipment envoy and the Caoyun division to the cabinet to oppose such an unreasonable demand of the governor of Zhili, Yamen.

And for good reason.

In the past, these yamen had always been under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.

The establishment of the various transshipment divisions was for the purpose of distributing money and grain to the imperial court. The Lianghuai Governor Salt Transfer Envoy is related to the Lianghuai region, and the annual value of millions of taels of salt is a livelihood. And Caoyun firmly maintained the grain and grass materials in the north of the empire.

In the past, these yamen were either under the management of the household department or directly appointed by the emperor.

Now Zou Xueyu is in one breath and wants to include these officials in the yamen into the assessment of Nanzhili officials.

Naturally, these yamen were unanimously opposed.

It's just that the cantata was sent to the cabinet and was quickly beaten back.

He also left a joint annotation from the first and second assistants of the cabinet, asking these yamen chiefs to keep in mind the authority given by the emperor when the yamen of the Zhili Governor was established.

What are the powers of the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili?

At this time, people finally began to rummage through the piles of court documents in the past.

Eventually, they got the answer.

All the military and civilians in the territory of Nanzhili are under the jurisdiction of the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili.

This makes no sense.

Unless these yamen can move out of the territory of Nanzhili.

But after thinking about it, they felt that they probably didn't have the courage to move the official office of the imperial court.

Not to mention moving away.

It was they who moved a brick in the yamen, and as long as Nan Zhili inspected the imperial history and knew about it, they would have to be impeached.

Time.

Zou Xueyu is the heaven of Nanzhili.

In this way, it gradually gave birth to the earth and began to spread to the city of Yingtian.

But even such smear words still can't stop Zou Xueyu's determination to open up the assessment of officials in the 18th prefecture of Zhili Dao.

Soon, on the tenth day of August in the thirtieth year of Hongwu, Zou Xueyu's assessment day for the officials of Zhili came as scheduled.

Zou Xueyu rushed from the governor's yamen to the tribute courtyard next to Yingtianfu School early in the morning.

All the officials of the eight counties of Yingtianfu will participate in the first official examination since the founding of the Ming Dynasty in the Gongyuan today.

Zou Xueyu, dressed in a red robe, led the governor's yamen and the officials of Yingtianfu, Shangyuan County, and Jiangning County to stand at the gate of the Gongyuan.

Since Zou Xueyu took office as the minister of the governor of Zhili, many days have passed.

As an official, there has always been a saying that is becoming more and more powerful.

Today's Zou Xueyu is standing here without saying a word, and none of the officials behind him dare to speak out, and they have to be careful even when they move their bodies.

But Zou Xueyu is in a good mood today.

At least in Yingtianfu, where he had been an official for more than a year, the officials of the eight counties of the government all rushed to the tribute court as required.

At this moment, the fence in front of the tribute courtyard has been opened by the officers.

The officials of Yingtianfu, who had gathered outside the Tribute Courtyard early in the morning, were lining up to be inspected and verified, and queued up to enter the Tribute Courtyard.

When these people saw that Governor Zou was actually present at the scene, they all looked stunned, obediently obeyed the envoy from above, and came to the tribute court to breathe a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter what is going to be tested in this assessment, and whether some people will be eliminated, but at least it has to be a trip.

Otherwise, you will become the one who stands out from the crowd.

When the governor turned around, the first thing that came to mind was the dumb-headed crane.

"Subordinates, see the Governor."

A member of the Heavenly Mansion walked up the steps, bowed to Zou Xueyu, and then walked into the Tribute Courtyard with a bamboo basket and a schoolbag.

Zou Xueyu nodded in response, and looked sideways at Yu Dalian, the prefect of Yingtian, who was beside him.

"I really hope that these people who are referred to today can pass the assessment."

Yu Dalian was also smiling, and when he saw the governor speak, he replied: "Yingtian is a government and eight counties, with a total of 576 officials, all of which are referenced today. The lower officials hope that they can pass this assessment and weed out these people who only cheated and cheated and abandoned their duties in the past. ”

This is the real purpose of the assessment of the 18 government officials of Nanzhili.

Yu Dalian, as Zou Xueyu, the number one horse boy of the governor of Zhili, naturally knows the thoughts of the governor.

Zou Xueyu only smiled: "This governor is not a harsh person, no matter what the background of these people is, as long as they can take on the errands, do a good job of the errands assigned by the court and the yamen, and do not cheat for personal gain, the governor will be hired." ”

Yu Dalian only smiled implicitly at this time and stopped talking.

It is difficult to expect those local officials to be able to deny themselves and abide by the law.

If these people can do their job well and obediently obey orders, it is already a matter of burning high incense.

Yu Dalian's heart is actually the same as what he just answered Zou Xueyu.

The six rooms set up by the imperial court in the yamen of the prefecture and county were given the same expectations as the six departments.

It's just that often in the local area, most of these government officials are not selected based on their own ability, but on the basis of local fame and strength.

As Yu Dalian, who has stepped from the local level to the position of the Ying Tianzhi Mansion, he is very clear about what kind of problems exist in the local government yamen.

The first thing a court official who has granted a seal to the imperial court is often not to understand the local people's livelihood or to improve the people's livelihood.

Instead, he wanted to understand the relationship between the officials in his yamen, and to win over or divide and suppress these old officials who had been working in the yamen.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yu Dalian finally said the words that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

"Governor, in fact, there is a matter for the lower officials, and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

"Oh?" Zou Xueyu frowned, and when he saw that the last official of Yingtianfu had already entered the tribute courtyard, he turned his head to look at Yu Dalian: "Although it is said that if it is a good thing, it will be discussed in the governor's yamen hall at that time." ”

Yu Dalian took a few deep breaths, as if he was cheering himself up.

Under Zou Xueyu's gaze, in the curious eyes of the Ying Tianfu officials behind him.

Yu Dalian finally whispered: "Since the first year of Hongwu, the imperial court has had rules for the selection of local officials to be officials in different places, and there is even more emphasis on the rotation of the evaluation cycle of the officials, so that officials are not called officials for a long time.

The lower officials thought that the officials with the largest number of officials in the court should also follow this law. All the officials of this department shall not be elected by the local people's clan. ”

Among the officials appointed and dismissed by the imperial court, not only did the Ming Dynasty pay attention to a local person not being a local official, but all previous dynasties had such rules.

This is to prevent officials from leaning towards their own families and clans if they are local officials, and seek personal interests for their own families through the power in their hands.

Zou Xueyu blinked, thinking that this was a good idea.

He asked, "Do you have any details?" ”

Yu Dalian nodded: "The lower officials have also been thinking about it for a long time, and they feel that it is not suitable for the officials to be selected from all over the country. ”

After all, officials are not officials, and it is impossible for a member of the family to run from Shaanxi Road to Zhili Road to do things.

If this is really done, probably tomorrow the Ming Dynasty will only be left as officials, and there will be no officials to do things.

Yu Dalian said again: "The lower officials feel that they can pay attention to a government official, not a government official. ”

The meaning of his words, if it is placed in Zhili Dao, means that the officials from Yingtianfu cannot be officials in Yingtianfu, but they can be officials in other 17 mansions.

Officials from Suzhou Prefecture can work in the other 17 prefectures of Zhili Province except Suzhou Prefecture.

"Within one place, outside the government area, officials are appointed in different places."

Zou Xueyu summed up the core of Yu Dalian's words, and then nodded slowly.

Yu Dalian nodded: "That's what Xia Guan meant. ”

Zou Xueyu looked at Yu Dalian with great satisfaction: "Go back and write a charter, and when the time comes, the governor's yamen hall will be correct, and the governor will personally submit it to the prince." ”

As soon as he spoke, a smile immediately appeared on Yu Dalian's face.

And the Yingtian officials behind him were all surprised.

Officials are appointed in different places, if this is really the case. I am afraid that the turmoil set off is even more serious than the ongoing assessment of the officials of the Southern Zhili.

Although the officials of Yingtianfu, one prefecture and eight counties have all referred to it at present, everyone knows that Yingtianfu and the seventeen prefectures of Zhili Road may have a few yamen officials for reference.

Not to mention, let these local old officials who hold the real power of the local government and county be appointed in other places.

As for the assessment of the officials of the 18 prefectures of Nanzhili and the yamen of various departments, it was quickly summarized in all aspects.

"Bang!"

Inside the Mandarin Palace.

Zhu Biao, who had just gotten the summary news, angrily smashed the paperwork in his hand to the ground.

In front of him were the first assistant of the cabinet, Ren Hengtai, the second assistant Xie Jin, the cabinet minister Gao Yangzhi, and the minister of the governor of Zhili, Zou Xueyu.

Zou Xueyu also had another piece of music in his hand.

It is the chapter that he asked Yu Dalian to sort out for the appointment of the officials of the Southern Zhili in different places.

It's just that the prince's face is full of anger at the moment.

The four people present also knew it.

Nan Zhili's official assessment this time, from the beginning to the final result, is ugly.

Tomorrow is August 15 of the thirtieth year of Hongwu, but the four of them know that this Mid-Autumn Festival is probably unstable.

Sure enough, after Zhu Biao threw away the summary paperwork, he said with anger on his face: "What do they want to do? Do they really think they are the Emperor of the Earth? Are they forcing the knife to move? ”

These words are a bit heavy, and they rarely come out of the mouth of the prince.

Ren Hengtai squatted down tremblingly and picked up the paperwork on the ground.

Shousuke's face was also very ugly.

Nanzhili 18 Mansions, this time the official officer assessment, in addition to Ying Tianfu is full of reference. The remaining 17 prefectures, as a whole, are not even half of the reference number.

Reasons such as illness, tardiness, and working on errands outside the home can be described as endless.

There is even a bastard from Suzhou Mansion, who has been eating flower wine since the first day, and he ran to the outside of the examination room in a drunken way and soaked a lot of urine.

Ren Hengtai lowered his head tremblingly, and stretched out his hand to pat the summary paperwork.

Zhu Biao looked at Shoufu coldly.

Snorted coldly.

"Ren Ge doesn't have to persuade Yu Gu, Gu will not be tolerated this time!"
