Chapter 423: If you don't accept it, you rebel and gamble on the table
Daming did a very good job of fighting corruption and grasping corruption, and Hai Rui published a book on the head case, the main content of which was to discuss corruption methods.
Traditional corruption has almost disappeared under high pressure, and the spectacular scene of pulling silver to send filial piety can no longer be seen, and a new type of corruption is forming.
In the city, the officials let the comprador hold it on their behalf, and opened an inconspicuous shop, which contained all kinds of high-priced goods, such as tea for fifty or even hundreds of silver taels, paintings by a certain master, poetry collections, gold and stone (antique) objects of certain ages, silk products, ready-to-wear clothes, and so on.
When the guest sees the official, a sentence of 'accidental get', for example, an accidental group of dragon tea table taels, etc., this is a bribe, the official immediately heard the piano and knew the elegant meaning, the official's reaction at this time, naturally is clear in the heart, and does not like the shape, the whole process highlights a clean, because the master next to him is responsible for realizing the guest's demands.
Even where there is a little more gold and silver, the guests and officials don't even need to meet each other, they only need to talk to the store about the difficulties encountered when they buy things, and the store will always remind me that if you give this money, it will be difficult for me to do things.
Eventually, power rent-seeking will be realized.
This kind of corruption method is already very difficult to verify, if this brokerage comprador is controlled by a local wealthy family, and the local wealthy family will accumulate the stolen money every year and send it to this person's hometown, it will be even more difficult to find traces.
There are countless people like brokers, compradors, and sue sticks in the Ming Dynasty, and the master is responsible for contacting these people, all of whom are wicked people in the corruption chain and moths of the Ming Dynasty's corruption.
Hai Rui didn't have a good way to deal with these people, he found clues to investigate to the end and bring the evil to justice, but the crime was hidden deep under the water, and Hai Rui was a little helpless.
This again involves the issue of the cost of anti-corruption, which is hidden, causing the cost of anti-corruption to skyrocket, while the benefits of anti-corruption are plummeting.
In the past, you only need to raid your home to get all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and you can get them back after starving for more than ten days, but raiding your home is outdated, and the goods have never passed the hands of officials or even their families, how to check? The house is clean, and raiding the house has even become synonymous with unjust, false and wrongful cases.
Li Le, the prefect of Yingtian, investigated and handled a similar case.
There is a person in Liuhe County, Tianfu, who is not even an official, who is worshipping in the Temple of Literature, educating the students who belong to him, and managing the local county school.
Li Le, as Zhang Juzheng's disciple, has extremely strong ability, and he was a sharp blade for Zhang Juzheng to deal with Wang Chonggu at the beginning. But after checking and checking Li Le, he found that the resistance was very great, and he couldn't even deal with the teachings of a county government.
The teachings of a county government that do not enter the stream, such a big resistance, aroused Li Le's interest, Li Le admonished the teachings, and it seemed that the punishment ended here, but in fact, Li Le secretly invited the ancestor.
Zhu Yijun learned that Li Le was going to investigate the case, so he ordered the horsemen to intervene, and after half a year of overt investigation and covert visits, the horsemen finally figured out what was special about this teaching.
All private schools and family schools in Liuhe County have inherited an incense from this teaching.
Probably in this Liuhe County, all the private schools and family schools, if they do not pay filial piety on time and on time, they will be banned by this teacher in the name of 'rectifying the study and administration', and the family ranges from fifty taels of silver to hundreds of taels of silver, and the reason why it takes half a year is that these silvers are not directly given to the teachings, but through the hands of the brokerage compradors in the middle, they turn around, and finally become land in the teachings' hometown.
The whole process is extremely hidden, and it is difficult to track down without the intervention of Tiqi.
According to Tiqi's visit and investigation, this is not only the case in Liuyi County, but also the entire Yingtianfu and even the entire Nanya.
Private schools, county schools, government schools, and academies in various places will be rectified if they do not give them a reminder, a correct study, and a filial piety, and the resistance will also come from this. It is inevitable that the entire Yingtian will be traced, and then under the leadership of Pan Jitao, the governor of Yingtian, a comprehensive investigation will be carried out on the entire Nanya.
And the edict is not the exclusive share of this income, but the entire Liuhe County Ya, the magistrate of the county takes the lion's share, the one who leads the court takes a part, and the edict takes a part.
This is the revenge of killing the father.
Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing parents.
When Li Le found out here, he knew that he couldn't play anymore, so he immediately wrote a letter to his husband, and then wrote a letter to his little brother Zhu Yijun, asking whether to continue the investigation, and finally got the answer that it would be investigated to the end, who stopped and who died.
This case has ended at the beginning of September of the eighth year of Wanli, and the entire Nanya officialdom has undergone a major earthquake, and nearly 700 people have been arrested and put into the Nanzhen Fusi Yamen, waiting for the final trial and exiled overseas.
The Daming weightlifting team is really too rolled, and these officials in Daming are all rubbish, but when they go to the overseas governor's mansion, they are all rare talents.
Xu Fan relied on his father to win an official position in Daming, but when he arrived in Taixi, Xu Fan was able to be a minister of state, and he did a very good job.
Is it just that the rectification of the school and politics has become a political tool for accumulating wealth in the course of implementation?
There are also Qingzhang and returning fields.
When the imperial court wants to clear the zhang, the luxury households will be entrusted to the local officials, especially the specific households, when the zhang is cleared, the household reveals some land that is not on the fish scale book from the fingers, or then Li Dai Taozhuang, so that the cost of the new policy will be borne by the people.
"The new policy of the Ming Dynasty has been implemented until now, and it has finally encountered Wang Anshi's dilemma, or the dilemma of the new law." Zhu Yijun closed Hai Rui's recital, and rubbed his eyebrows a little anxiously.
Wang Anshi's Qingmiao method was originally well-intentioned, flexibly using the grain storage of Changping and Guanghui warehouses, converting them into capital, and lending them to bankrupt farmers and urban handicraftsmen at an annual interest rate of 20 percent, so as to help the people tide over the difficulties and at the same time alleviate the bloody stripping of private usury, and at the same time increase the government's financial revenue, promote the development and production of industry and commerce, and achieve the effect of 'the people do not add endowments and the country uses enough'.
From the perspective of system design, there are indeed no loopholes in this set.
But in the end, it became a knife cut to the people.
Money always flows to places where there is no shortage of money, and when the magistrates carry out this order, the primary consideration is to take it back, not to release it, and release the money to the small people, and what will the small people take to pay back the money?
Therefore, when the money is released, it is often directly given to the big households, the big households have big businesses, and they can still recover the debts if they can't afford to pay them back, but they don't give them to the small households, and the small households will fall down as soon as the wind blows, and the big households will lend to the small households layer by layer after getting these resources, resulting in the final interest even exceeding the private usury.
In the end, the three words of good Qingmiao money became synonymous with usury in the two Song Dynasty, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
In the process of Qingzhang, the fields of the big households were concealed through various methods, and the people's fields were a lot of land, and there were even additional acres of land that did not exist were apportioned to the heads of the people, which can be described as miserable.
And the rectification of school politics has also become a poison of local education, and the harm is endless.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty always have policies and countermeasures to carry out adaptive adjustments, and obtain their own interests in the new era and new background.
Zhu Yijun was completely awake from the dream that Daming had once again great, and he fully understood how Zhu Yuanzhang's four major cases, the big case with tens of thousands of heads, came about.
As far as Li Le's hearing about these things, not only in Nanya, but also in the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun was eager to kill and create two more Qingzhang cases and Xuezheng cases.
Feng Bao pondered for a moment and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, it is far from that point, as far as Li Le's case and the head case are concerned, if one case is found, one case will be severely punished, and it will be severe and severe, so as to obtain the effect of intimidation, this contradiction is well said, the contradiction is endless, and it is widespread, after the contradiction is resolved, there will inevitably be new contradictions, and in the face of this new situation, there will be new methods." ”
"The minister thinks that stability is good, after all, the acres occupied by the luxury households still occupy the majority, there is no widespread crime, and there is naturally a little sneaky fishing, but it is not to the point where the people's grievances are boiling, after all, the head is their own."
His Majesty's reputation for being good at killing people is on par with the reputation of being stingy, who doesn't know that Emperor Ming is still in prison on the first day of his wedding? A real bloody wedding.
"Feng Daban's contradictory reading is excellent." Zhu Yijun very much agrees with Feng Bao's opinion.
Feng Bao smiled and said: "The minister also looked at the contradiction and said that he was born, no matter how stupid he was, he was also a stupid bird that flew first, and he learned something." ”
"Your Majesty, in the minister's opinion, this matter can be included in the examination law, if the local self-examination cannot solve the problem, and still refuses to report to the imperial court, use the case of Luo Yao, the former governor of Sichuan, as a common practice, and exile him.
"If you can really make an iron bucket made in a province, without leakage, and you can't reveal any news, then don't be a governor or a patrol, just rebel."
Feng Bao is talking about the responsibility system of local governors.
As the leader of the locality, you can even be incompetent, incompetent will only be deposed, but you can't lose your faith, you must be loyal to the monarch and the country, this is the most basic bottom line, and if you touch this bottom line, you will be exiled or even beheaded.
The Ming court allowed local problems, and even allowed the governor to have problems that could not be solved, and then turned to His Majesty for help, which was part of the Ming imperial system.
This is a kind of decentralization of responsibility, and at the same time, it is also the decentralization of power to supervise the implementation of the new policy, and it is also the significance of the existence of local governors and governors.
"Good way." Zhu Yijun wrote the Zhu Approval, handed it to Feng Bao and said, "Send it to Mr. Wenyuange, and Mr. Ling will draft the articles of association to see." ”
Zhu Yijun knew very well what Feng Bao was doing, he was giving eye drops to the officials of the outer court.
This is the natural duty of eunuchs, if you don't deal with civil officials, what kind of eunuch should you be? Civil officials and eunuchs are naturally opposed, this is the rule of the game that has lasted for thousands of years, and it is the duty of eunuchs to speak in front of the emperor, otherwise this eunuch will be disgusting?
After coming up with a bad idea, the governors of various places were pitted, and since then, the governors have to keep their eyes open, and if they can't solve the problem, they must also find the problem.
Zhu Yijun got this bad idea, he thought it was a good idea.
The governor of the Ming Dynasty since the Yongle period, since its establishment more than 170 years, has become the de facto local leader, it is not an exaggeration to say that the feudal officials, such a big power, can not thoroughly implement the decree is a problem of ability, but can definitely find the problem, refuse to report, that is a matter of attitude, the result is exile.
"Your Majesty's Lady Zhongshun is already waiting outside the palace." Feng Bao bowed his head and said.
Zhu Yijun announced that he met the third lady, and received the third lady's collateral, a ship ticket worth nearly 200,000 silver, and the third lady reluctantly handed over the ship ticket to the emperor, this ruthless man, just accepted it directly.
Zhu Yijun carefully explained to the three ladies, and asked about the details of the winter outside the Saiwai, in the heavy snow, the first to freeze to death were livestock, so there will be no shortage of food, insufficient fuel, and insufficient warmth, which is the biggest problem for civilians outside the Saiwai to survive the winter.
The three ladies are very concerned about the mining of coal in Shanxi, and hope that the coal near Datong Mansion will also be eligible to be purchased, but Zhu Yijun did not agree, which made the three ladies a little regretful.
Everyone knew each other that without coal, the steppe would not be able to be smelted, and without large-scale iron tools, the Warat, Tatar, Uliangha, Dongyi, and so on would not be able to move south on a large scale.
Only after the Ming conquest could the supply of coal be put on the agenda.
After the three ladies solemnly thanked the saint for blessing the grassland again, she glanced at the imperial study of Tonghe Palace with nostalgia, put on a big hat, and left Tonghe Palace.
This piece of Dayu, is a gift from the emperor after she entered Beijing, she is a product of Zhongshun Mrs., Daming Jingtang hundred officials also have, worsted woolen production, with a fluffy collar, the chest of the Dayu, the left side is embroidered with the sun and moon Gonghui flag, and the right side is written with a clear character, the three ladies will be draped in winter, and they don't care about Altan Khan's eyes that can't wait to eat people.
On the left side of the waist and abdomen cloth, there is a big red little man embroidered, which is the shadow puppet painting of the three ladies, the three ladies of this villain are particularly fond of it, she herself showed a shadow puppet of His Majesty on the other side, of course, it is the appearance of regular clothes, and no one said that the problem of loss of etiquette, no one is idle and has nothing to do to ask who the shadow puppet painting is.
Zhu Yijun maintains a certain respect for Sanniangzi, this is a political figure who cares about the people, and her stage is in the vast grassland.
Xindu Yang and its minions, a total of 234 people beheaded, the execution ground was set up on the Chang'an long street outside the Daming Noon Gate, the people of Daming Jingshi also like to see the excitement, the weather is cold and cold to come to see, Zhu Yijun arrived as scheduled, to the noon gate to be sentenced, when hundreds of horsemen shouted in unison to take it, the head fell to the ground.
When he needed to kill someone, Zhu Yijun never cherished his reputation, and it was better to be scolded as a tyrant than to die in the New Deal.
These hundreds of heads fell to the ground, representing the emperor's great determination to promote the new policy, rebel if he disobeys, and gamble his life on the table!
And the Ming Dynasty Imperial History Wang Qian, Sichuan Governor Wang Tingzhan's recital, so that Zhu Yijun breathed a long sigh of relief, the Sichuan Qingzhang that did not move at all, finally began to advance, and the cold winter wind can not hinder the footsteps of Qingzhang, the first stop of Qingzhang is the Shu Palace.
When Wang Tingzhan walked into the Shu Palace, he found that the Shu Palace, far less luxurious than the rumors, and even many palaces collapsed because of disrepair, and even appeared dilapidated, Jiajing 31 years, Jiajing Emperor stopped the palace repair cost of the vassal palace, the reason was that there was a war, and since then there has been no special repair cost for the vassal palace.
The acres of land under the name of the Shu Wangfu are more than 30,000 hectares, and the days of the Shu Wangfu are actually not too bad, but the decision does not match the 30,000 hectares of land and 3 million acres of land.
The process of Qingzhang in Sichuan has also driven the Qingzhang in Henan and Shaanxi, especially in Henan, and there are many palaces in Henan. His Majesty investigated to the end, resolutely implemented the new policy, and did not take into account the friendship of relatives at all, so that the royal mansions everywhere could only pinch their noses and return the acres of land under the name of the palace to the luxury households.
The palace was part of the hereditary officials, and they were not afraid of the retribution of the local lavish households, and it was a big deal to close the city gates to live their own lives, but they were very afraid of the emperor's wrath.
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty." Buyan came to Tonghe Palace to meet the Son of Heaven and thank the Ming Emperor for his grace.
Tuman Khan was canonized as the king of Huaiyi in June of the seventh year of Wanli, and Buyan became the prince of Huaiyi, after the three ladies left Beijing, Wang Shizi also bid farewell to the convoy, he would not personally lead the former caravan to Saiwai, but stayed in Daming.
Since the Tuban Khan was crowned king, Buyan has never returned to the grassland, he is a proton.
This time, the purpose of Buyan was to discuss many matters concerning the entry of Tuman Khan into Beijing to pay tribute next spring, or to determine the fact that the Ming Emperor was willing to take in Tuman Khan.
"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, finished writing a letter of Zhu criticism, and then motioned for Buyan to sit down and speak.
"It's interesting, why did Tumen suddenly figure it out?" Zhu Yijun looked at Buyan and asked curiously, saying that it was a tribute to Beijing, but in fact, it was a surrender, a complete surrender, Zhu Yijun likes to stand on the basis of strength and tell the truth, without detouring.
"Father actually did his best." Buyan really thought about this question seriously and answered it.
As the suzerainty of Mongolia, the Tuman Khan even has a legal claim to the Mughal state, but the strength of this suzerain, compared with Altan Khan, is really a little weak, from the first year of Longqing, and the Ming Dynasty has also fought for 14 years, it should be over, and the ideal of reviving the glory of the golden blood has finally lost to reality.
Tuman Khan really tried his best, but he met Li Chengliang, Qi Jiguang, Zhang Juzheng, and this diligent majesty, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and the fixed skills of the grassland people are going westward, and when they can't beat the Central Plains, they go to bully the Western Regions, and the Tuman Khan can't do it, because there is still an Altan Khan blocked in the west, and the Ming border army even has the ability to attack.
At this point, it is already at the end of the road.
Buyan bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, anyway, the traitors of the steppe did not start with my father, but Altan Khan, who, as a member of the Golden Family, first betrayed the steppe. ”
"Huh? This... Also. Zhu Yijun was also stunned when he heard this, smiled, his face was extremely strange, and he spared no effort to publicize Altan Khan as a traitor to the grassland, and this purpose, anyway, the sinners of history are not his pictures, the first person in the golden family to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty was Altan Khan, he is the sinner!
"Your Majesty, Hu Zhongsheng has a lot of teeth, everything depends on China, if it is lacking, it must be needed. If there is no demand, it will be plundered. Looting is not allowed, only the western expedition, the western expedition is not, so it can only be attached, there are Xiongnu to submit, after there is Xianbei sinicization, and then there is Turkic dependence, Altan Khan can still run west, my father really has nowhere to go. "Buyan made the reason for the surrender very clear, everything depended on the production of the Ming Dynasty, especially the necessary salt and iron.
"Da Ming is willing to accept your father's tribute, and tomorrow the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites will discuss this matter with you in detail, so you don't have to worry too much about your father and son's lives." Zhu Yijun gave Buyan a reassurance, the suzerain Great Khan's tribute to Beijing, and stay in the Ming Dynasty forever, Zhu Yijun will not hurt his life.
This is not Zhu Yijun's personal choice, but the result of court discussion.
After all, it is the suzerain's master Khan, and there are still 3,000 nails in the rotten ship, and the Ming Dynasty needs to pay a greater price to completely eliminate the Tuban Khan, and accepting the surrender of the Tuban is undoubtedly a simpler way, and then it is to clean up the diehards and eliminate the last will to resist.
In fact, this is also the reason why the imperial court does not persecute the major royal palaces too much, forcing a palace to the point of bankruptcy, and all kinds of money can't even raise a million silver, but a royal palace rebellion needs at least more than five million silver to quell the rebellion, Jianwenjun Zhu Yunwen has proved the serious consequences of excessive persecution with practice.
The problem of Henan is difficult here, not the friendship in the mouth of the scholars, but the problem between cost and benefit.
The vassal king of Henan was able to take the initiative to clear the acres of land under the name of the treacherous envoy, which made Zhu Yijun very happy, if they continued to be stubborn, Zhu Yijun could only strike hard.
Buyan stood up suddenly, flicked his sleeves, and said loudly with five bows and three kowtows: "Please give your majesty a surname to reproduce heirs." ”
This is an inevitable process, changing the Chinese surname.
There are a large number of Tartar officials in the Ming Dynasty, all of whom need to be changed to Han surnames, such as Gongshun Bo Wu Yuncheng, who is a Tatar, and brought 5,000 households to the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period, and gave the surname Wu; For example, Chai Bingcheng, the governor of the army and the commander of Liangzhou Wei, was also a Tatar, after his death, his son was the heir, and his son's name was Chai Tiezhu, and this lineage lasted until the death of the Ming Dynasty;
Many people misunderstand the Tatar officials as the Da of the dignitaries, but in fact, the Da of the dignitaries is the developed Da.
Please give the surname of Daming, the bloodline of this lineage can really multiply, and when it comes to Daming, the surname is only a catty, and the heir is the only result, and the Han surname is changed, in fact, no one pays attention to it.
Shang Jiu's Shang himself is a Han surname, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki is actually a Han surname, which is barely a Han surname, because at this time, the Wa Kingdom did not have its own writing, and all the culture was Han culture, even the year name.
"Just give Bao the surname." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and chose one of the surnames played by the Ministry of Rites.
He originally wanted to give the Er'er family a very formal surname Liu, which is not without purpose, who made Genghis Khan Temujin really the bloodline of the old Liu family, but in the end Zhu Yijun didn't do that, the prophecy of the golden knife, but the prophecy of the Central Plains lasted for more than a thousand years.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Buyan bowed to Shane again.
The prophecy of the golden knife is that there is a prophecy that says: The Son of Heaven surnamed Liu will inevitably save the world from peril, if Liu Bei's Ji Han is really successful, the old Liu family is really likely to become the hereditary Son of Heaven, the emperors of all dynasties are taboo about this golden knife, and the same is true of the Ming Dynasty, there is not a single knife made of gold in the palace.
Yang Yuhuan's cousin Yang Guozhong, whose real name is Yang Zhao, almost failed to become the prime minister because of a standing knife, and took the initiative to change his name to Guozhong, just because he was afraid that the emperor would see the standing knife and remember this prophecy.
After Buyan left, Zhu Yijun looked at the book in his hand, this was a solution he thought of, the problem of Henan Qingzhang, Zhu Yijun actually had a complete set of methods, but he hadn't made a move yet, and the king of Henan had instigated it first, which really made Zhu Yijun a little regretful.
This is a great gift prepared by Zhu Yijun for the vassal kings.
Zhu Yijun planned to invite all the vassal kings to Nanjing to participate in the great event of the Ming Dynasty and carry out the ban to the end.
On the grounds of sacrificing filial piety, the feudal kings from all over the country were summoned to bring their families into Beijing to worship their ancestors, which was the law of the ancestors, and in the Jianwen period and the early years of Yongle, the feudal kings from all over the country had to go to the filial piety tomb to worship.
Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's will, the vassal kings of various places are not allowed to enter Nanjing to worship for three years, but the heirs of the vassal kings in various places must keep filial piety in the filial piety tomb in Nanjing.
Zhu Di's sons Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu have been in Xiaoling for a long time.
These vassal kings came to Nanjing, and after worshipping, they couldn't go back when they came, Zhu Yijun planned to lock them all up in the high walls of Fengyang, raise pigs, raise free-range breeding, and raise concentrated breeding.
Centralized pig breeding law, Zhu Yijun is planning to end the curtain in the Sichuan head case, Henan has become the only big trouble in Qingzhang, and then carry out the difficulty, for this matter, Zhu Yijun also discussed with Wan Shihe for a long time, Wan Shihe provided the ancestors into the law, Zhu Yijun is responsible for the implementation.
And these vassal kings are scattered all over the Ming Dynasty, not everyone lives a life of Zhong Ming Ding food, even if it is the prince of Shu King Zheng and others, life is also tight, and the Ming court has repeatedly lowered the income of the clan, and life is already very difficult.
But the vassal kings are not stupid, the current emperor is already a relative of the five suits, the Ming Dynasty has completely lost its original role, and has gradually become one of the stubborn diseases of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun's centralized pig breeding method is still in the imagination.
As Zhu Yijun gradually grew up, he now hopes that a vassal king will rebel, so that he can suppress it by force and announce it to the world.
Da Ming's sword now, how sharp.
