Chapter 181: The Problem of the Ming Officials

And Zhu Qizhen is also sure that under his policy of loosening restrictions on businessmen, there will be a large number of big businessmen. In the future, the comparison will definitely be even more disparity than it is now.

The impact of this situation on Ming officials, Zhu Qizhen must think clearly.

The Ming Dynasty is a power society.

In such a society, those who have money are not as powerful as those who have power.

But it is conceivable what will happen to many businessmen who were previously regarded by the bureaucracy as mustard businessmen who have become richer than them.

There is still relatively little supervision of officials in this era, and many places are far away from the emperor of Tiangao.

The place where Zhu Qizhen can know everything is Beijing, or add Hebei. Farther away, you can only see it from some cases.

Farther away, even the person who wrote the case may not be clear.

"You mean to add money?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

Li Bing said: "Your Majesty, many officials are dissatisfied with the implementation of the Law on Officials, in fact, after the implementation, there are many things and annoyance, and they can't be as casual as before. ”

Zhu Qizhen has never considered the problem from this angle. After thinking about it carefully, he said secretly: "Isn't that so?" ”

In the same county, in the previous situation, the county order only needs to be connected to the above, and to complete the above order, as for how to complete it, how many problems there are, it is his own business.

As long as the county can carry it around and don't let things get into trouble, there will probably be no problem.

But after that, it's different.

Officials have become the official establishment of the state, although they are not as good as officials, but there is a difference between the number of days, but there is no essential difference between them.

The previous kind of arbitrary governance will become a lot of rules and regulations. The workload of each prefectural order has to increase a lot.

Many officials don't have such a long-term vision.

I don't think about what is wrong with this thing for the country. will only consider the impact on himself, Zhu Qizhen's actions are obviously adding to the workload of these low-level officials. It's as if the boss has added work and not increased wages. How can there be no complaints?

Zhu Qizhen's heart moved, and he also understood that increasing the number of people may not make officials more honest, at least it can reduce the degeneration of some people.

And the Ming Dynasty is not too high.

Zhu Qizhen left room for Yulu at the beginning, but now as long as he can increase Yulu and buy people's hearts, it is also good.

The problem is that the imperial court has no money.

At least now there is no money, the battle of the Western Regions, disaster relief, these two things, let the treasury of silver, as if a mountain of mountains and seas rushed out.

If it weren't for the inner treasury, there would still be some ballast silver. toward

The operation of the court is the problem.

Moreover, increasing the number of hundreds of officials seems to be a small problem, but no matter how much it is added, it is not a small number, and more importantly, in the future, this increased number will enter the regular practice of court expenditure. That is, it will increase every year.

Zhu Qizhen not only has to think about the present, but also about the future.

If it costs a few million taels, Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth and gave it, but this is likely to be one or two million taels more per year.

In retrospect, Li Bing's opposition seems to be also considering this aspect.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment, and could only let this one thing go.

Whether you want to do this thing or not, at least now it is not suitable to do such a thing.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Li Bing, and made a decision about Li Bing's arrangement in his heart.

It is better to make the work than to overdo it.

Li Bing used his ability to prove that he is not a wine bag and rice bag.

And although Zhu Qizhen will clean up many opposition parties in the DPRK and China under the strong suppression, the people who remain will definitely support Zhu Qizhen.

Not necessarily.

After all, Zhu Qizhen's purge of this kind of pressure, although it is a bit of a pretext, is not a political purge in essence, and anyone who steps down is problematic. It's nothing more than a small problem, and it's said to be a big problem, and the big problem can't be contained.

It's like Peng Shi, a scholar from Hanlin, he just doesn't have any handle. But he also saw that the general trend had gone and took the initiative to resign. Zhu Qizhen still let him enjoy all the treatment of Ming Zhishi officials.

The mentality of many officials in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen can also figure out a thing or two. It is nothing more than not wanting to speak on this sensitive issue. After all, the emperor is only temporary, and now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been on the throne for more than 30 years, and he is already the first in this dynasty.

After all, Hongwu is thirty-one years and Yongle is twenty-three years.

That's long enough.

How long the emperor can reign is already a question that many people have privately speculated.

Today's charge is ahead, maybe tomorrow will have to pull the list.

The people who are really willing to do things for Zhu Qizhen are either some people who agree with Zhu Qizhen's political views, such as Liu Dingzhi, Wang Shu, and Shang Chen. Either they are people who want to speculate, such as Xu Youzhen and Ma Shimei.

can stand alone, talented ministers, Zhu Qizhen does not have many entrainments. 、

There are not many ministers of Zhu Qizhen who stand with a clear banner.

Zhu Qizhen said: "This errand, you did a good job, but this year's Jingcha is too strict, there are thousands of people who have been dismissed, and the work of the Ministry of Officials is also very heavy. ”

"Although the county order is a small official, it inherits the imperial court and the people. Don't be careful. It is important to pay attention to it. ”

When Li Bing heard Zhu Qizhen say this, he was overjoyed for a while, and immediately saluted and said: "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's orders, and these two things will definitely be done well, and will not make a mediocre person in a high position, nor will he let a virtuous person sink into his subordinates." ”

Li Bing was not happy, Zhu Qizhen gave him the task.

It was the subtext of Zhu Qizhen's task to him. That is, the emperor dispelled the idea of replacing the secretary of the ministry, and the position of his secretary was finally kept.

That's why he's ecstatic.

Zhu Qizhen appeased a few more words, and then let the official go to the book.

It's just that on the second day, after Huai'en came back from visiting Yang Hong, he immediately reported the situation to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen listened, the brush in his hand fell, and said, "Chang Guogong, has it come to this point?" ”

Huai En said: "The minister did not dare to deceive His Majesty, and the condition of Chang Guogong took a turn for the worse. The doctor said, "It's just a matter of the past few days." ”

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a while, thinking of Yang Hong's various achievements, he sighed slightly in his heart, and ordered: "Prepare the frame." You go to the Changguo Mansion to make a front station, let them do everything as before, and don't disturb the Changguo Gong. ”

A visit by the emperor is not necessarily a good thing.

Especially if the person is already seriously ill, if the emperor comes, he will come out to pay tribute, and it will cost the person's life. Although Yang Hong, the prince of Changguo, is the time has come, and the oil is running out.

But now, Zhu Qizhen still hopes in his heart that Yang Hong can get through this juncture, after all, there is an old man in the family, especially at the critical time of many major military decisions.

Even if Yang Hong is on crutches, he can make many people feel at ease when he is above the court.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Zhu Qizhen is at ease.

It is more the heart of An Baiguan and the heart of the world.

Today's Yang Hong's status is just like Zhang Fu's status at the beginning.

Even if Zhu Qizhen gave such an order, the people of the Changguo Mansion did not dare to really do everything as before, except for the ward of the Changguo Gong, the others were waiting at the gate.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen arrived. There were dozens of Yang family disciples who knelt on the ground, all of them were in good shape, and a military temperament came out.

made Zhu Qizhen feel like he had arrived at the barracks.

Actually, this is normal.

Yang Hong was originally a military rule of law. The descendants of the Yang family are all over the army, and around the core of the Yang family, there are countless generals among them.

This is the influence of the Yang family in the army.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen even had a good feeling that Yang Hong had died.

Because of Yang Hong's death, Yang Hong's descendants will not be successful, and the Yang family will rely on his nephew Yang Xin to support them, but where will Yang Hong's descendants be convinced? The internal division of the Yang family is inevitable.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qizhen can accommodate the Yang family.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Flat." Then he strode in and went to see Yang Hong.
