Beiping Mansion is according to the Yamen of the Judges.

The new officials have taken office three times, not to mention that so many chief officials have come at once, and the officials of the yamen have been very honest recently, for fear of becoming moldy people.

According to the inspector, Wang Li inspected the Department of Prisons and was in charge of the affairs of Beiping Prison.

There are officials who commit crimes, there are errand servants who violate the rules, there are gangsters who commit crimes, there are unfilial descendants, and there are peasant households who owe taxes......

Beiping was sentenced to prison according to the inspector Jiang Yande, and respectfully accompanied the inspector to inspect the prisons to check whether there were any good people who were wrongly killed.

Finally passed the test and didn't cause trouble, Jiang Yan had to turn around and go to the Shizi Mansion and tell Zhu Gaochi about today's events.

"If he wants to investigate, let him investigate generously, which is a good thing, and improve the public security environment in Beiping."

Zhu Gaochi said calmly while flipping through the official documents.

Although Zhu Di reprimanded him, there was no actual punishment, as usual, after Zhu Di returned to Beiping, although things were gathered in Zhu Di's hands, the official documents that could be processed would be transferred to the Shizi Mansion and handed over to Zhu Gaochi to read through them, so that Zhu Gaochi could learn how to handle government affairs.

"It's okay to check normally, but what I'm afraid of is that the king is the inspector, and he has the idea of deliberately picking out the problem, so the lower officials are worried."

"He won't be unruly." Zhu Gaochi disagreed.

What the government is afraid of is that the palace does not act according to the rules, in order to avoid this, they dare not mess around, otherwise it will give the palace a chance to mess around.

The government itself is in chaos, and the palace is even more chaotic.

Jiang Yande felt that what the little prince said made sense, and breathed a sigh of relief, the new official took office with three fires, who knows what the situation in Beiping will be in the future.

Relying on the advantage of the window period, the palace stopped the power, if you want to return to the situation before the Lanyu case, the third division will have to fight with the palace.

These lower-level officials, with small arms and legs, really don't want the gods above to fight, and they suffer.

The political envoy and the palace have cooperated very well, and I hope that these new officials can also reach a tacit understanding with the palace as soon as possible.

"In our Ming Dynasty, if a person who is not filial piety, if his parents complain to the government, it is a big crime, and there are pros and cons to this move."

Zhu Gaochi finished reading the official document, and said to Jiang Yande with a smile: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages, all efforts must be within the degree, beyond this degree, any good thing will become a bad thing." ”

"According to the inspector, he will inspect the prisons to check whether there are any good people who are wrong, if there is no good thing, if there is, he must correct it, otherwise after the incident, he will be punished, which will affect his own future, so he is more serious about you, don't scare yourself."

Regardless of the intensity of enforcement, at least that's how the rules are.

As for how well people carry out, in addition to the level of governance of the officials, it also depends on the level of resistance of the people.

If they are all honest people, then it will naturally make the officials bold and dare to do more excessive things.

Every incident in which the powerful persecute an honest person, every honest person who is disguised as an honest person, he is an accomplice in promoting the arrogance of the powerful.

These honest people who have relented and swallowed their anger hope that someone else will come forward, but their behavior has fueled the momentum of the powerful.

Officials in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, no matter what, defended their rights and dared to pay for their lives in the struggle for imperial power.

In the Qing Dynasty, the officials stopped fighting and became groveling minions, and the emperor had to sing praises when he farted.

Compared with the two, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were stronger.

As for the victims.

Those righteous soldiers who dare to make trouble, in the face of injustice, they eat meat and drink wine, kill officials and slaughter nobles, and those honest victims, in the face of injustice, they sell their children and daughters, begging for food and soil.

The progress of civilization has never been given by the ruling class, but by the struggle of the common people.

If he is afraid of death and does not dare to fight, and does not know how to fight, then he deserves his suffering.

As a powerful person, Zhu Gaochi touched the bottom line of the people, understood the current atmosphere, and felt more confident in his heart.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, because of population and land, as long as they could eat enough, they were honest people, and there were not many people who were dissatisfied with the status quo.

Above the food and clothing line, below the well-off, can make the vast majority of the people obey.

In China, since the pre-Qin Dynasty proposed that the prince and the prince would have a kind of remark that he was willing to cut the emperor off the horse, the common people had a spirit of resistance.

Compared with the thousand-year-old royal family, it is the great progress of civilization, and there are still people in later generations who envy the thousand-year-old royal family.

Zhu Gaochi is sometimes very confused, whether the ancestors have more spirit of resistance, or the later generations have more spirit of resistance.

Even in the most ignorant and numb Qing Dynasty, there were still people who organized Hongmen and other forces.

Before the last prince of Dayuan Island surrendered, he also knew that the Hongmen list would be packed into an iron box and sunk to the bottom of the sea to avoid falling into the hands of the Qing court.

Now that the power of officials is great, Zhu Di is worried that the content of the technical newspaper will arouse the attention of officials, so Zhu Di banned the publication of part of the content of the technical newspaper.

Zhu Gaochi was jealous of the power of the government, so he naturally compromised, anyway, he was still young and had a long time.

Mo Lin outside, secretly visited Beiping, returned to Beiping City, met Wang Li, the envoy of the inspection, and told him in detail what he had seen and heard along the way.

Steam engines, railways, reclamation ......

"I heard that the matter of reclamation was proposed by the eldest prince of the palace and attracted Yan Fantai, I see, this is the plan of the palace." Wang Li frowned and said.

Mo Lin and Wang Li are both students of Guozijian, and they have a mentor behind them and colleagues in the same department, and they have a dense relationship and belong to one of them.

Officials have a three-year imperial examination, and they have a future that they can only have in their lives, and the honors and generals were born to obtain.

It's unfair and it's not good for the country.

Wang Li is an orthodox official, and so is Mo Lin, but Mo Lin is more conservative, and Wang Li is inclined to Qi Tai.

"Reclamation of land is a major plan for the people's livelihood, Yan Fantai cannot refuse, nor should he refuse, if his term of office, he can reclaim millions of acres of fertile land in the northern parallel province, and such political achievements may be able to go down in history."

Mo Lin said enviously.

The historical materials are very long, and there may not be many people who record them, but as long as they have made great contributions to water conservancy or land reclamation, they can be recorded in it.

The same is true of history, whether it is Wang Ren or Mo Lin, it is just a mention of an official appointment and dismissal in the large records.

Officials who reclaim acres of land or build water conservancy will leave relevant pages in historical materials.

"The king's conspiracy." Wang Li's face was worried.

The palace was already powerful, and the rights of the three divisions were more or less taken away by the palace, and in order to restore the previous situation, they should have worked together.

But the biggest official of the political secretary, the political envoy, is busy with the politics of land reclamation, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.

"Do you know when Shen Butai will be back?" Wang Ren asked suddenly.

Mo Lin shook his head, "Shen Butai just went to inspect the place, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Beiping in a short time." ”

"One is not responsible, the other is hiding, and the court is not human." Hearing this, Wang Ren sighed and saw through the intentions of the new right-hand political envoy Shen Kui.

Now that this person has left Beiping, it is not to avoid the whirlpool.

He was waiting for the situation to calm down, and after a while, the movement of their new officials had subsided, and it was estimated that it would be time for this person to return.

"No, I want to write a letter to Qi Tai to inform him of the matter of Beiping." Wang Ren made up his mind, without the political secretary coming forward, he couldn't pry the situation by relying on him alone.

"Will it cause dissatisfaction among the two political envoys?" Mo Lin felt that Wang Ren was a little impatient, and he had not yet figured out the situation in Beiping.

"Can't wait, the prestige of the palace in the guard has also been seen." Wang Ren's voice was a little quieter, "The imperial grandson is young, and the saint is old, so he has to be anxious." ”

When Mo Lin heard this, he sighed, and no longer persuaded him, since the death of the prince, the country has gradually become eventful.

If only the crown prince were still alive.

……

R&D Division.

Zhu Gaochi was beaten by Zhu Di, and his attention shifted from Beiping political affairs to the factory, and in addition to reading the official documents approved by Zhu Di every day, he began to return to the headquarters to work.

Today, the R&D Department has developed a number of weights and measures standards, including rulers, buckets, scales, containers, etc.

Zhu Gaochi held an iron ruler and engraved an even scale on it.

"We studied the tooth ruler of Shangzhou, the ruler of the Qin Dynasty has not been unearthed, the Han ruler of the Han Dynasty, the Han inheritance of the Qin system, the Han ruler should be similar to the Qin ruler."

Xiao Jiu introduced on the side.

"The Han ruler is the most refined with the wrong silver iron ruler unearthed at present, and the front and back are divided into ten equal inches, of which one side is divided into three equal parts in the third inch, the fifth inch is divided into five equal parts, the seventh inch is divided into seven equal parts, and the ninth inch is divided into nine equal parts."

That is, it is more than 20 centimeters long, the most detailed section, and the scale unit is minutes.

One inch is equal to more than three centimeters, equal to ten, and one minute is nearly one-third of a millimeter, and the scale is already more accurate.

The ruler has been born from Shangzhou, with a scale on it, and the decimal system is applied, which is 16.95, 15.78, and 15.8 centimeters long, respectively, which can be used as a reference for the actual length of a ruler in the Shang Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, the ruler was based on 31 cm as the provisional standard. The scale of the Ming and Qing dynasties is about the same, and the Jiajing tooth ruler of the Ming Dynasty is 32 centimeters long.

"To be precise, it can't be regarded as setting standards, but adopting the standards of our dynasty to build a set of original rulers at the headquarters and use them to make the rest of the rulers."

Zhu Gaochi nodded with satisfaction, and then saw the "scale".

Xiao Jiu saw that Zhu Gaochi was interested in this thing, and took the initiative to introduce: "This thing is called 'weighing'. The bronzes of the Western Zhou Dynasty are engraved with such inscriptions: "Jin Shiyu", "Silk Sanyu", and "Jin Shiyun". "Gold" is not gold, it refers to copper; "寽" and "uniform" are units of measurement. ”

From these inscriptions, we can know that as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ancestors mastered the principle of levers and made a tool for weighing the mass of objects "weighing".

Xiao Jiu knew that Xiao Wang Ye liked to listen to the origin of these technologies the most, so he told him thoroughly about the trade-offs from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods, and even the current development.

"The early trade-offs consisted of a beam and two weighing pans, the center of which was suspended as a fulcrum with a string, and the weighing pan was suspended by strings at both ends of the beam, which had holes through which the string was secured."

"We improved it and replaced it with iron." Pointing to the iron balance, Xiao Jiu said with a smile.

"It's good."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
