Chapter 409 is more ruthless than peeling the skin and filling the grass
Chapter 409
"Ah...... Ah......h
Originally, Fan Wencheng would always be strong to the end, but what he didn't expect was that just after the first cut, his voice was extremely poignant, his face was distorted, and fear grabbed his heart tightly, making him scatter.
Fan Wencheng has done many crimes, full of thirty major crimes, of course, as a party, Cheng Shijie knows that Fan Wencheng actually has several crimes that are wronged, he has not done it, on the other hand, only the person who wronged him knows how wronged he is, but the problem is that it doesn't matter, because Fan Wencheng's real crime is enough to die a hundred times.
Fan Wencheng has not been beaten, Huang Taiji has beaten him, Haoge has beaten him, Daishan has kicked him, and even a little Niu Lu Ezhen can sneer at him, he has been enduring it, enduring it in the future, and then settling accounts with them.
It's just a pity that now retribution is coming, and retribution is never equal to original sin, it may be ten, hundred, thousand, or even ten thousand times the original sin! But unfortunately, many people can't understand this truth until the end, and Fan Wencheng and others are no exception.
Everyone is a knife and I am a fish, now Fan Wencheng knows that he is afraid, but unfortunately it is late, of course, no one pities him, his only hatred is to yell at Cheng Shijie: "Thief, can you kill all the scholars in the world!?" ”
Cheng Shijie said indifferently: "If all the scholars in the world are wolf-hearted things like you, what if you kill them all?" ”
Sun Zhili felt the strong killing intent on Cheng Shijie's body, he was very worried that Cheng Shijie would expand the attack area, if he really wanted to kill all the scholars in the world, the world would really be completely gone, and the officers of the Ning Navy could help Cheng Shijie fight the world, but he could not help Cheng Shijie govern the world.
"Lord Regent, Lord...... Don't be impulsive! ”
Sun Zhili hurriedly persuaded Cheng Shijie, although Cheng Shijie is not the emperor now, he is the regent supervising the country, this is the power given to Cheng Shijie by Queen Zhou, and it can be regarded as above board, of course, as an emperor, no matter how clear and honest he is, as long as he has no military power, it will be in vain.
is like Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin controlled by Li Zicheng, he has been from the prince of Qin, the dynasty is in power, and the year name is Shunzhi, but it is not important, Zhu Cunji's order cannot get out of the palace of Qin.
Just when Sun Zhili was still thinking about the words, Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Do you remember Liu Gong, the Zhongzong of the Southern Han Dynasty?" ”
"Remember!"
Sun Zhili naturally knew that Liu Gang was a famous strange emperor in history, and he was also a king of the fallen country, Liu Gang had a very famous point of view, that is, he felt that if the courtiers had their own families and their own descendants, it would affect the country and not be loyal to the court. If you have an idea, you should realize it, right, Liu Gang is this kind of person who dares to practice.
He ordered that anyone who wanted to become an official in the court must first give himself a "gelding", and only then would he be appointed. So much so that former officials must use knives against themselves to keep their official positions, and civilians can only have the opportunity to become officials if they are castrated themselves. The idea is good, but I didn't expect so many people to be ruthless to themselves in order to be officials, resulting in more than 20,000 eunuchs in the small Southern Han Dynasty, and a large number of redundant officials dragged down the political system of the Southern Han Dynasty.
Cheng Shijie said: "In order to become an official, even if you need to castrate yourself, there are countless people who are willing, and most of those who read are actually grass on the wall without ambition, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and there are many starvations in the palace, and the same is actually true for scholars, there are people with integrity among them, but more of them are flies and dogs!" ”
"The king's meaning is ......"
Sun Zhili still doesn't know Cheng Shijie's true intentions, of course, he doesn't really know, but he can't figure it out, if someone else can figure out Cheng Shijie's intentions and do things for Cheng Shijie, but as the current prime minister in Daming, Sun Zhili doesn't need to do this, what he needs is to follow Cheng Shijie's pace and communicate with Cheng Shijie seriously.
Cheng Shijie thought about the past dynasties in history, this is an evolutionary process, the position of the servant, in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, was an internal servant, but in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he became the prime minister, and when it came to the Tang Dynasty, the power of the servant was further expanded, and there was also the power to refute the holy decree.
The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, which was only a secretarial body at first, gradually became the department of the head of state, but it turned out that the cabinet yamen split from the emperor in just over a hundred years. In fact, the cabinet of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was reduced to a decoration in the middle and late periods, first setting up the Military Aircraft Department, and then setting up the Prime Minister's Yamen, adopting a set of teams and three yamen.
The construction of any system cannot be without loopholes, the government and military system of the Tang Dynasty, the guard system of the Ming Dynasty, the Tuntian system of Cao Wei, and the systems of the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty will all become unrecognizable with time.
The system is dead, but people are alive, officialdom pays attention to policies, there are countermeasures, everything has two sides, now Cheng Shijie feels, in fact, there is no need to beat the imperial examination system to death, kill the imperial examination system, that is the real unfairness, and the imperial examination is relatively fair.
Just like the exam-oriented education in later generations, children from ordinary families receive ordinary education, and the children of the rich receive elite education in various make-up classes, in a fair game, will there be fairness at all? This is like a boxing match, it is undeniable that some talented fighters can defeat high-level opponents across levels, but the problem is that letting Fu Shiming fight Zhang Zhilei is not a fair contest in itself.
A lightweight fighter can hit a heavyweight a hundred times, however, a heavyweight fighter only needs one punch to send a lightweight fighter, and that's the problem.
As a reader, Sun Zhili naturally knows very well that reading is just the front door of readers, what books they read, not because they really like to read what books, but what books are useful, just like in later generations, if the country really abolish English classes, believe it or not, immediately ninety percent of the people in the country will not even speak English?
"In the next period of time, it is necessary to produce the Enke test paper, and Ben Shuai is ready to open Enke next year!"
Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "Unlike Daming, this time, we have to add an age limit, Xiucai's age is forty-five years old, if the maximum forty-five years old has not been admitted to Xiucai, don't take the test again, it's not that material, don't waste your energy, the upper age limit of lifting people is fifty-five years old, this time, those who have the fame of lifting people can be relaxed to sixty years old!" ”
In the Ming Dynasty, officials did not have a pension, but they could continue to enjoy the privileges of officials, no need to pay taxes, no need to serve forced labor, and it was a little preferential treatment. The Ming Dynasty's harsh treatment of officials was well-known in the past dynasties, except for some officials who received special rewards, the remaining Ming officials had almost no pensions, and those who had no children to support had two stone of rice per month that the emperor rewarded in his personal name.
This is also a problem that there are more corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no future guarantee, but Cheng Shijie is ready to adopt the official pension system, and adopt the principle of deducting half of the officials' salaries and supplementing half of the imperial court, for example, an official will deduct two taels of silver a month, and the court will make up two taels of silver in the future, so that officials will have a pension of four taels of silver per month.
This system needs to be implemented in both officials and the military, and there are this benefits, of course, including Cheng Shijie's own industry, Cheng Shijie is ready to adopt the state-owned enterprise system of later generations, package resources into enterprises to operate, and support the industrial and commercial system of the Ming Dynasty.
"Thank you, the king!"
Sun Zhilan was very excited: "The ministers of the world officials thank the king for his great kindness!" ”
"In addition to this retirement pension system, Ben Shuai also wants to propose a pension fund!"
Cheng Shijie looked at Sun Zhilan puzzled, and explained: "At present, the salary of officials has increased several times from the original, and officials at all levels can take one-tenth of it as a pension, and in principle, it will be paid after retirement together with the pension. ”
Sun Zhixi: "Since the corrupt officials on the king dare to be corrupt and derelict in their duties, they may be dragged into the water by others, and once they enter the water, they will ......"
"The heirs of corrupt officials, within three generations, are not allowed to go out of office, are not allowed to take the imperial examination, are not allowed to join the army, and are not allowed to engage in business!"
Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Ben Shuai wants to see, the three generations of children and grandchildren are tied together, do they dare to take risks!" ”
"Enco time is in September, in Golden State!"
Cheng Shijie said: "The scope of the exam is the same as the last time, and this time I am going to take a thousand!" ”
"This will ......"
"This is a special case!"
For now, Cheng Shijie has done the most is liquidation, Fan Wencheng is now unconscious, but he has been treated clearly, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I are scared to the point of feces and urine, of course, most of the people who watched the punishment have gone back, and they really can't look at it, which is too challenging for people's nerves.
On the execution ground at the entrance of the vegetable market, Cheng Shijie and Sun Zhili fully exchanged views and discussed the principle of settling accounts after the autumn, and these scholars dealt with it, and Cheng Shijie's principle was that only those who wrote poems and articles to advocate for Huang Taiji, or acted as lobbyists, lobbied the generals to surrender, or used the advocates of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter the customs and waved their flags and shouted, all of them were executed.
All the captured generals of the Qing army, the generals of the Guanning army, and the generals of the Ming army who took refuge in the Qing army when the Qing army entered the customs will be executed!
All the civil and military generals and eunuchs who colluded with the Qing court and opened the border passes of the Great Wall, Yongping Mansion, Shuntian Mansion, Baoding Mansion, Zhending Mansion and the gate of Beijing City to present the empire and various cities to the new master will be executed!
All gentlemen who came to Beijing during the occupation of Beijing by the Qing army to seek officials were to be executed!
In addition to these three wills, Cheng Shijie fought a cold war inside and outside the government and the opposition, which almost wanted to send most of the officials, gentry, scholars, and nobles of the Ming Dynasty in the capital to the guillotine!
Many ministers raised objections, and although they did not have a good impression of those who did not do anything about personnel, they were still shocked to kill so many people at once, and the government and the opposition were empty.
The most common opinion is whether it is possible to kill less and exile the army instead? Enough people have died in this war to bleed themselves anymore.
Cheng Shijie didn't think about it, and returned the proposal to change the death row prisoner to exile and charge the army to the minister of Shangshu: "In the army of this commander, as long as the loyal and brave army and the fierce people come to guard the territory of the Ming Dynasty!" Only these loyal and brave men can defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty! Exiled to the army? They didn't lose Daming's face enough in Beijing, and they have to go to the border to continue to lose Ben Shuai's face? ”
At the same time, Cheng Shijie immediately abolished the exile system, no matter what the officials and generals who committed any crime, there was no longer a chance of exile.
Sun Zhilan said: "Your Majesty, you are killing like this, I am afraid that the Jiangnan Jingentry Group will resist to the end......"
"Ben Shuai is still afraid that they will not resist to the end!"
Cheng Shijie's words gave Sun Zhili a wake-up call.
What did Ning Haijun rely on? That is to rely on the bandits, if they surrender without a fight, or surrender conditionally, will they be let go like this?
In the future war of reunification, the Ning Navy will also vomit out all the fat and ointment that these gentlemen and officials have eaten, and all the money they have collected violently, and the only way is to let them continue to die.
Now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have seen Cheng Shijie's toughness, and when it comes to decisiveness, this is only stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang!
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang comes, it is impossible to kill all the gentry officials in the world, but Cheng Shijie doesn't mind doing this, of course, Cheng Shijie's toughness is not all opposition, there are so many positions, one radish and one pit, if they don't pull out the radish, how can they have a chance?
The students of Liaodong Medical College soon graduated from the school, and those who did not graduate also retained their student status, while studying, they participated in the work, and flooded the medical and health industry.
The same is true for the students of Liaodong University, although Cheng Shijie is suspected of pulling out seedlings, but the problem is that he must do this, as for whether it will disrupt the students' academic situation, in fact, this is like training soldiers, battlefields and wars are always the best training places, and the Ning Navy is a strong army that relies on actual combat training.
Then the students in the Liaodong Management Committee system should also participate in this practice, and if they can't withstand the temptation and violate the law, they will also have to bear the consequences.
Then, Cheng Shijie promulgated the pension system for civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the pension system and the joint and several system, whether it is a crime of dereliction of duty, or a crime of corruption, or the surrender and rebellion of civil and military officials, it will affect three generations, not including himself, but three generations of children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
In this way, if you want to commit a crime, you must consider the serious consequences.
The current officials hate and love Cheng Shijie, and the pension and pension system allows officials to have a living guarantee after retirement, but this joint system makes them feel more ruthless than peeling their skin and filling the grass.
"Your Majesty, isn't it time for the princess and the prince to come over?"
Although Sun Zhili knew that Cheng Shijie did not want to repair the destroyed Forbidden City, the remaining palace was still enough for Cheng Shijie and his family to live, although Emperor Chongzhen did not have many heirs, in comparison, Emperor Chongzhen supported not a few people in the palace, in addition to the eldest sister-in-law and adoptive mother like Empress Zhang and Concubine Li Kang, as well as Zhu Changluo and the concubines of Emperor Wanli, these people Emperor Chongzhen needed to raise.
But Cheng Shijie is not necessary, there is no problem with raising Concubine Li Kang, this is Cheng Shijie's mother-in-law, and it is not much of a problem to raise Queen Zhou and Queen Zhang, but others, then there is no need to feed them in vain, let them move out of the palace, make a small amount of money, and let them fend for themselves.
In fact, the same is done now, the palace ladies and eunuchs in the Forbidden City, on a voluntary basis, can go home, and there are supplementary regulations, if they work in the palace for more than three years, less than five years, according to the salary of five years, severance pay will be paid, for example, a palace lady, she has a salary of two taels of silver a month, and after working for three years, she will be given one hundred and twenty taels of silver according to the five years of salary.
If a eunuch has worked for eight years, he will be dismissed according to ten years, this principle is supplemented by five years, less than 15 years, according to 15 years of compensation, less than 20 years according to 20 years of compensation, less than 30 years of compensation according to 30 years, after this series of operations, the Forbidden City alone Gong'e and eunuchs, more than 3,000 people were dismissed.
Cheng Shijie shook his head and said: "Ben Shuai will stay in the capital for a while, and he will return to Liaodong immediately, not only Ben Shuai will go, but you will also return to Jinzhou to work!" ”
"What does the big marshal mean to move the capital?"
"Don't you think there's a smell of the city?"
"What?"
"It's lifeless, Ben Shuai doesn't like it very much!"
Cheng Shijie doesn't like Beijing, he doesn't like it from the bottom of his heart, of course, in fact, what Cheng Shijie doesn't like is those people, but those people don't have the opportunity to take root in Beijing now.
