Chapter XXIV: Rewards and Punishments

Many things are difficult to predict, but if you summarize them afterwards, you can still see clearly.

Within the Shidafu Group, there is no shortage of smart people.

This war was fought without any feeling. But after the fight, they suddenly found that most of the founding honors group were gone. Even if some remain, it will be difficult for them to have much influence in the military in the future. The group of heroes who made Zhu Yuanzhang so angry that he had to kill talents to suppress them almost disappeared.

Secondly, it was the civilian-official group that gradually grew up from the late Hongwu period that was swept away.

For the Shidafu Group, they don't really care about cleaning up once or twice, after all, no matter what, they need scholars to rule the world. It's just that they are moved and desperate by the situation in front of them.

Yes, it takes people to read the world, and the people who read are not necessarily them.

During Jianwen's reign, he held several imperial examinations. It is not only to recruit talents, but also to buy the heart of scholars. These people have produced a lot of talent. During the Yongle period in history, many ministers were born here.

But now they can't.

All officials who were born in the imperial examination during the Jianwen period were put into a separate book. If they didn't become officials, the court wouldn't recognize their reputation as scholars. Naturally, there are no privileges to speak of.

And the Northern University Alliance is graduating in a steady stream. One or two thousand people a year. Nowadays, a considerable number of officials in the imperial court are from these people's backgrounds. The juniors of their own family are not properly arranged, who has the time to arrange these people.

Especially Zhu Yunwen's betrayal, which gave these people a very hard blow.

Because the reason for Zhu Yunwen's betrayal is very simple, that is, with the original governance model, it cannot support the new changes in the war. In order to conform to the changing forms of warfare, the imperial court had to change. This change hit them.

As a result, these scholars and doctors have a deep sense of crisis.

The reason why readers are valued is because the world can't play without readers. Not only the scholars themselves think so, but the court thinks so, and the people also think so.

And now they suddenly found that they had left them. The imperial court not only played well, but also turned better.

That's what makes them feel so desperate.

Many people are thinking, what's wrong with Confucianism? What happened to Da Ming?

The biggest change for these scholars today is that except for some stubborn Kong Yiji, who can only say that the world is not ancient. Most Confucian scholars wanted one thing, and that was to bring He Xi's doctrine into the Confucian system.

In fact, the most powerful advantage of Confucianism is inclusiveness. Strong inclusivity.

As long as they don't knock them down all at once, they always have to get up. Reinterpreting the classics. It's just that the host and guest have been transposed.

In the past, it was He Xi who thought of his own way to link scientific theoretical ideas with Confucianism, and used scholars and doctors to learn, but now it is these people who take the initiative to do this thing.

In the future that can be met, He Xi must be a generation of saints of Confucianism. is even ahead of Zhu Xi.

That's all for later. At least these people are already very knowledgeable. They hate Zhu Yunwen more than Zhu Xiongying, so naturally they won't find themselves unhappy at this time. It's just that they are in the ground, just like those villains, and it also makes them feel ashamed, so it's a monarch and a minister.

So, silence is the best way to deal with it.

After Zhu Yunwen's matter was decided, there were others.

For example, Ding Xian. Ding Xian's sin is naturally said to death. However, He Xi played a trick at this time. Naturally, there is some emphasis on Ding Xian's crimes.

Without him, the evaluation of the dead is not actually based on what the person has done. It's about what the living need.

It's like some things Ding Xian did, and many things were learned from He Xi. If He Xi nailed many of Ding Xian's policies to death, then what about He Xi's own policies?

Therefore, He Xi decided more on Ding Xian's private morality. However, it is clear that Ding Xian's private morality did not disappoint. Just on some of the disgusting deaths that Ding Xian did in private, he died a few times, one

The point is not wronged.

At the same time, there are some people. For example, the Korean public.

The Korean Gong seized the throne of the National Prince. Degraded to a concubine. And the group of nobles who followed the Korean Duke also won the title one by one and were driven out of the army, but with their accumulation over the years, it is still possible to be a rich man.

It's just that in this way, these people are very dissatisfied.

But what's the use of being dissatisfied?

If the Han Gong surrendered before the Northern Army took Nanjing, it would still be very valuable. However, after they took Nanjing, they could be regarded as changing their attitude, and it was too late.

He Xi naturally settles accounts after the autumn. Even many of the Northern Army wished they would rebel. so that they may fight the last battle and make a military contribution for them in the future.

This is naturally a great thing for them.

As a result, there is no possibility of retaining the original job of the Korean public.

In fact, for He Xi, he will not fall into the ground. But the end of the Korean public has today, which is also the reason for He Xi, when He Xi was discussing the title with Zhu Xiongying, He Xi said that he felt that this title should be limited to a certain number and could not be sealed indiscriminately. Otherwise, it will not be worth much in the future.

I don't know how this word got out. As a result, many generals of the Northern Army who wanted to be crowned the princes of the country had ideas about the original princes of Nanjing.

Who is the Guogong in Nanjing? Wei Guogong Xu's family, this can't be moved. Song Guogong Feng's family, everyone knows what Feng Cheng has done, and they can't move, and the same is true for Cao Guogong and Li's family. As for the next, there is probably only the Xinguo Gong Tang family.

But this doesn't seem to have to move. Without him, Tang He died early, and none of the five sons were there, and now it has been passed on to the great-grandson. The great-grandchildren are not yet adults. Throughout the battle between the north and the south, the Tang family did not come forward.

It's not good to make people.

So the title of Duke of Korea naturally had to be removed.

He Xi immediately explained that in the future, he could not seal too much at one time, and it was not necessary to get rid of one Guogong in order to share one more. But Zhu Xiongying also has prejudices about the Korean public.

What is done cannot be undone. There's nothing to say either.

As for Fu Youde's Yingguo Gong, not to mention. Directly abolished. However, he gave a certain degree of praise to the posthumous names of generals such as Fu Youde, Geng Bingwen, and Sheng Yong who died in battle.

Without him, praising loyal ministers is something every emperor will do.

As for the character of Fang Xiaoru, I don't know how to evaluate it.

He Xi finally made a decision, praising Fang Xiaoru's private virtues, not talking about anything else. Neither talks about Fang Xiaoru's status in the literary world, nor does he talk about Fang Xiaoru's political achievements in the first assistant.

In fact, not talking about these is to deny Fang Xiaoru's achievements in this regard.

He Xi avoided these because he was worried about a lot of controversy in public opinion. After all, in He Xi's view, the biggest thing now is to make this conference go smoothly.

Determine whether the country is will, such a decision-making model. Some fundamental issues have been avoided by He Xi.

Fang Xiaoru's posthumous name is.

What He Xi wanted was to determine the official status of He Xi Xinxue at this conference, not to deny Confucianism. Or Cheng Zhu Lixue. The two seem to be the same, but in reality, there are some differences.

You can't push some too hard.

Slow things down.

The punitive stuff is said and done. Naturally, we want to talk about rewards.

First of all, it is naturally Ye Shen who wants to seal it.

Ye Shen fought two battles between the rivers, the first time blocked Fu Youde's attack, the second counterattack was successful, breaking Fu Youde, and then the battle of Guangwu, killing Fu Youde, and even swept the Central Plains, pushing the battle line directly to the Yangtze River.

Merit is the first.

Feng Liao Guogong. Lu Wanshi. Ten granges outside the customs and 100 miles of overseas fiefdoms.

The reward for Ye Shen can be regarded as a big reward below.

There is nothing to say about the Duke of Liao. After all, after the Battle of Hejian, Ye Shen was already the prince of the country. The Duke of Liao is nothing more than a big country. It seems like a lot, but it's not much. A year is more than 2,000 taels, nearly 3,000 taels.

Kanwai Grange, in fact, is in

Northeast.

The reason why this is the case is that he is honored and noble, and Citian is also one of them. Although there is still land for the finished products of the Ming Dynasty, there is not much left. Whether it's near Nanjing, or near Beijing.

And He Xi also wanted to guide the people to develop the Northeast, so he discussed with Zhu Xiongying and gave all the land outside the Guan. The land is good. But it's a little colder, but it can be given more.

As a result, Ye Shen earned as much as five or six thousand yuan a year.

Guogong's annual salary is two or three thousand yuan, plus Ye Shen's official position as a privy envoy, and other official positions. That's how it all up. Coupled with the Grange in the Northeast, the annual earning has exceeded 10,000 yuan.

That's actually quite a lot.

Not to mention, Ye Shen also has some shares in many industries. It depends. Not easy to measure.

But the annual income of 10,000 yuan is already the ceiling of the noble income in this era. It couldn't be any higher. After all, the Ming Dynasty has a maximum annual income of tens of millions of yuan.

Of course, this situation is expected to change soon.

But even if there is an improvement, hundreds of millions of yuan a year are almost the same. One person receives one-ten-thousandth of the country's income, which is already quite good.

And overseas fiefdoms are a new situation.

That is, Lu Zhongheng advocated the implementation.

This overseas fiefdom is 100 miles, and now it is only a qualification. When the imperial court lays down the place overseas, or in other words, he himself has a fancy to something, he can apply to the imperial court. In the end, the imperial court gave this fief to the nobles.

But there must be some limitations.

In terms of self-esteem, it is not as good as the vassal king. In his fiefdom, the feudal king could do almost anything, and he made laws. Murder and arson. Either way.

But the vassals must be subordinate to the imperial court, and many things in the fief must be aligned with the Ming court. You can't do whatever you want. And the size of the fiefdom was also limited.

For example, Ye Shen is just a hundred miles.
