Chapter Seventy-Eight: The People of the Grace Palace

The endless leek sprouts, the unbeatable Zou Yuanbiao.

Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly, if he was ten years younger, with this tiger energy, he should send Zou Yuanbiao to Henan to clean up King Fu's gang of clans.

"Intended purpose-" Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and said: "Guo Yunhou and Guo Xingzhi have formed a party privately, and the impeachment is ridiculous and unfounded, so they will be dismissed and sent out of Beijing immediately." ”

It is the duty of the official to supervise the hundred officials, but it has become a bad habit of officialdom to talk nonsense for personal purposes. The so-called rumors and rumors have become a talisman for the officials, chasing after the wind and shadows, and wantonly attacking.

Zhu Youxiao made an example of the chickens and monkeys, first dismissed the two guys, and went home to eat old rice.

Well, learn from Grandpa Wanli, if you don't fill the vacancies by eliminating officials, you can't paralyze government affairs, and you can save money.

How much is an official's salary? Zhu Youxiao wrenched his fingers but couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help rolling his eyes. Anyway, get out of one official, it should be enough to raise ten soldiers, right?

As for Zhu Tongmeng in the military department, he is not a Donglin party, and he is even considered to have no party or faction, and the impeachment of Zou Yuanbiao is against his teaching at the Shoushan Academy founded in Beijing.

And Zhu Tongmeng has been an envoy four times during his tenure, and he has a good reputation; In the military department, he is also known for his hard work, but he can be regarded as a usable talent.

"Proposed purpose: Zhu Tongmeng in the military department, add the rank of squire of the military department, governor Xuanda, and rectify military affairs."

"Proposed purpose: the imperial envoy Fang Zhenru was transferred to the governor of Henan......"

"Proposed purpose: to recruit 3,000 Mao soldiers from Henan to the southwest and put them under the command of Zhu Xieyuan, in order to suppress the rebellion of Hao Chongming as soon as possible."

"Proposed purpose: Sun Chengzong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is loyal to the country, has outstanding ability, and has the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, temporarily serving the Ministry of War, and then adding the scholar ...... of Dongge University"

Zhu Youxiao flipped through the small notebook and kept dictating. These decrees will be sent to the Cabinet after printing, and they will be decided through the normal procedure, and most of them will be approved.

There is no small matter on the side, so it is necessary to send people who are shrewd and capable and understand military affairs to work, or send people who are optimistic about them to exercise and inspect them.

For example, Sun Chuanting has already been transferred from the Ministry of Officials, served as a military rectifier, went to Shaanxi with Zuo Guangdou, and embarked on a life path related to Qin Bing in advance.

As for the financial problem, Zhu Youxiao is going to slaughter a fat sheep first, which can be greatly alleviated.

Wang Tiqian, the eunuch with the palm print, bowed and stood, waiting for the decree to be completed so that he could perform his duties.

After Zhu Youxiao finished saying a few wills, he glanced at Wang Tiqian and asked, "Wang Ban, how is the mansion outside the city repaired?" Is there enough money for the palace people? ”

Wang Tiqian hurriedly knelt down and bowed back: "The grace of the emperor, which slave dares not to be unsatisfied?" The two mansions outside the city will be completed in a few days, and there will be some money left! ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "That's good." I thought, if it's not enough, I'll take some from my inner bag and put it on the mat! ”

Wang Tiqian kowtowed vigorously and said gratefully: "The emperor is very kind, the slaves and maids have nothing to repay, and they dare not let the emperor pay even if they die." ”

"Get up!" Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "What kind of man is he who sheds tears at every turn?" ”

Wang Tiqian burst into tears when he heard this, he wasn't a man anymore, so he didn't let him cry!

"I've lost my word." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand helplessly and said, "Tomorrow I want to go out of the palace for a walk, you go and arrange it properly." ”

"Yes, yes, the slave will arrange it."

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to stop Wang Tiqian, and then ordered: "Those brocade guards last time were very good, the one called Lu Jianxing, let them follow!" ”

Watching Wang Tiqian go to errands, Zhu Youxiao shook his head helplessly.

When it comes to eunuchs, people may most easily think of bad guys, what Zhao Gao, Chang Yu, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian and so on. And the more famous good eunuchs, I'm afraid they can only think of Zheng He who went to the West.

In fact, eunuchs are a very sad type of people, and they are not easy to do. The powerful eunuchs were only a minority of the minority, and most of the eunuchs lived a more miserable life and had a more miserable fate.

Especially when the eunuch is old and can't do it anymore, and after being arranged out of the palace, it is even more sad.

Without a skill, no children to support, no pension, they were looked down upon in society, and even despised and rejected by their relatives, and most eunuchs were miserable in their old age.

Many people even live on the streets, become beggars, and die of starvation.

Therefore, eunuchs are more greedy for money, and there is a certain reason to prepare for old age. For example, if you adopt a child, you have to expect the adopted son to have a little conscience; Or donate money to the temple and go out of the palace to go to the temple to support the elderly.

As for those who can afford to buy a house and hire people to wait, after all, they are very few, and they cannot be generalized.

The same is true for palace maids, especially those in the Ming Dynasty, who are quite miserable.

So much so that even the emperor Lao'er had to admit that "everyone in the palace is a good family, and the palace is deep in the shadows, and it is pitiful."

As a modern person, Zhu Youxiao is of course unaccustomed to it.

There are still regulations in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, and the palace maid can be sent out of the palace after twenty-eight and pay a severance pay.

The palace maids are all lifelong, this is not scientific and inhumane!

Don't be twenty-eight, twenty-five, let's count by year.

If you have worked in the palace for ten years, you will be sent out of the palace, and we will not only give you silver, but also build a large mansion for you, which is a collective dormitory.

Those who have no relatives to collect them, or who cannot find them, live here. If you give the palace maid some textile and handicraft work, you can also support yourself.

As for the eunuchs, when they are old, they also have a place to live and food, and they are now the "retirement home" built on the outskirts of Beijing. There is also a royal village next to it, which is also handed over to them to take care of, and it is also an elderly activity to grow some vegetables and raise poultry or something.

Of course, this is not for nothing. It's like if you don't pay social security, you won't have money to receive when you retire. But it's not much, you pay two taels of silver every year, and you can enjoy this treatment after ten years.

All in all, Zhu Youxiao introduced these benevolent policies and stipulated that the palace would not accept palace people for five years.

Not to mention five years, with the number of palace people now, it is enough to not collect it for ten years!

In history, the chaff of the Qing Dynasty once said that there were 100,000 eunuchs and 9,000 palace maids in the dynasty, and there were starvation deaths every day, and the emperor didn't care.

This is nonsense, smearing, and nonsense! Zhu Youxiao can pat his chest to testify, there are definitely not so many.

However, there are quite a few of them! Every year, the money of light fat powder in the palace costs two or three hundred thousand, and the internal use of charcoal is even worse, which is very unspeakable.

Well, Zhu Youxiao knows some of the tricks, and has begun to secretly send people to investigate, preparing to get rid of a group of rats in the palace.

Now, the reduction of palace personnel can reduce the cost for the time being, right? If it can't be lowered again, it will be a wave of anti-corruption and anti-corruption in the palace, and I still don't believe it.

If you don't sweep a room, how can you sweep the world? If you can't manage your own family well, what country will you govern?
