Chapter 300: I'm the one who guards the calves
I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run...... Liu Chun still has some understanding of the routines of the official. The duty of a speech official is to scold people, so who can be famous by scolding? Nature is the most famous and powerful. For example...... Your Majesty the Emperor!
The officials of the Ming Dynasty would often scramble to find trouble with the emperor and force the emperor to beat them up, by the way, it was the court staff!
When beaten, the scar immediately became a symbol of merit.
They are asking for the people's lives, iron-clad, not afraid of life and death, daring to face up to the dripping blood, daring to face the bleak career, benevolent and brave, they are real clean officials, good officials!
Usually after being beaten, you can still not die, endure a few days, and you will make a comeback, and you will rise to the top. A little bit of understanding the resumes of officials in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, you will find that many people are born in scolding gods, and after a few years of hard work, they have climbed from a small imperial history to a high-ranking official at the ministerial level.
It's a big gamble that attracts countless adventurers.
But pay attention, this is the middle and late Ming Dynasty, at least in Lao Zhu, it rarely appears, why? Because Lao Zhu will really fight, fight to the death, you don't have to take the initiative to provoke His Majesty the Emperor, Lao Zhu will want to clean you up all day long!
Cutting off the head is not fun, make an adult leather pillow and hang it outside, that is also handy.
Therefore, under the rule of Emperor Hongwu, no one dared to take risks. However, it does not prevent the officials from skillfully using routines to deal with people who are not used to it!
For example, Xun Shunqing this time.
Impeach him first, and impeach him even if he knows it is false.
This is Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword with the intention of Pei Gong.
If Xun Shunqing wrote a book to distinguish it, they would continue to attack, and send people to investigate, tossing and turning repeatedly, and it would not stop for a few months.
The magistrate is in office for three years, familiar with the situation for at least a few months, and then entangled for a few months, or even more than a year, how much more can he do in the rest of the time?
If you can't do something, the officials will win.
In another case, just like Xun Shunqing, if you continue to rush forward under pressure, they will say that you are greedy for power, you have impeachment on your back, you are not innocent, and you do not wash away your grievances, that is, you have misconduct and suspicious behavior...... It doesn't have to kill you, but it makes sense to change jobs and change places.
Their small actions are very hidden and difficult to detect, just like Liu Chun, he doesn't have the energy to take care of hundreds of disciples, those who are not too prominent and have no fame, they are easy to be overshadowed.
Therefore, if you want to promote the reform of the law, you must always be ready to shed blood and sacrifice.
It's just that no one expected that a very subtle blow would be cracked by dozens of old farmers!
When they heard that Xun Shunqing was going to be transferred, more than a dozen villages, each village sent one person.
The villagers took out the white noodles at home, baked flatbread for them, carried them on their backs, walked all the way to the capital, came to the noon gate, and knocked on the Dengwen drum!
"What did this Xun Shunqing do, is it worth it for you to go to the capital and speak for him?"
Lao Zhu asked with a smile.
Compared with the quarrel between Liu Chun and the official, Lao Zhu is more willing to listen to it with his own ears and what the people think.
In order to let the people relax the pressure, Lao Zhu even got down from the dragon chair and walked in front of everyone. Then Zhu Yuanzhang made a move that stunned everyone, he sat down, and then beckoned the eunuchs, gave each old farmer a bowl of lotus seed soup, and let the big guy drink while talking.
Liu Chuncai swallowed his saliva next to him, daring to love him, he was not as important as an old farmer, it really hurt his self-esteem.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Xun Shunqing is a student, he is my protΓ©gΓ©, how is this student, has he embarrassed the master?" β
Liu Chun was simply mad...... Listen, is this human talk?
Zhu Chongba! That's my student! Not yours!!
Liu Chun didn't have the slightest idea except for roaring in his heart, so he could only listen...... mentioned Xun Shunqing, and the old farmer opened the chatterbox.
This official is good!
The biggest problem in their countryside is the water source, and the rice needs a lot of irrigation during the grain filling period, and the villages often fight for the water source, and some people are even injured and killed!
After Xun Shunqing arrived at the place, he encountered a serious conflict, and thousands of people gathered on both sides, and they set up a posture, and they were going to have a big battle.
He communicated with the people on both sides, and then found out the inventory of the acres of land, determined the plan for distributing water sources according to the number of fields, and personally watched the canal, and for half a month, the conflict was finally eliminated, and the two sides temporarily settled down.
During this time, Xun Shunqing communicated with the people, fighting every year is not a way, can the big guys work together to build another canal, or widen the current canal......
The common people resisted at first, they had to farm and serve in the yamen, how could they have time to build water canals, and it cost money to repair water canals, so could it be possible to increase taxes again?
Xun Shunqing has seen with his own eyes how Liu Chun regulates the conflicts of the people, but it is a pity that he does not have the ability of a master and cannot turn stones into gold...... But Xun Shunqing also had a stupid way, he put the gentry and wealthy businessmen in the county to the county yamen, set up a banquet, and then sent the officials to seal the door.
If you want to come up, you can donate a little money per person, and if you don't have money, you can give food, wood, and stone, and those who come will not refuse anyway.
He also went to the county treasury and scraped together 200 stone of grain.
Relying on coercion and temptation, he was deceived and deceived, and finally started to build the canal.
When repairing the canal, Xun Shunqing told the people that the imperial court planned to implement the integrated grain service of the gentry, and spread Ding Yin into the fields. In this way, the people who have no land will not have to pay the tax of the ding. If the gentry were unwilling to serve, they had to pay for it and hire someone to serve in their place.
In other words, the new policy of the imperial court is to let the big guys bear less and the gentry bear more...... I can have more time to build a canal so that the big guys don't have to fight and die for water again.
"Your Majesty, this new law is really good! We all understood, others don't know, but ten miles and eight townships, who has how many fields, we all know, in the first few years of measuring the fish scale book, many of them are wrong, some people's lunges are long, some people's lunges are short, in the end, it is still the common people who suffer......"
Don't underestimate these old farmers, they have been in the field for the first time, and they don't understand what tricks they have, but no one has made decisions for them before, and they dare not speak out.
When Xun Shunqing arrived at the place, he often took out a big edict and explained it to the people.
It is precisely because of this that the people know about Dengwengu and know that there is something to find His Majesty to complain about...... Maybe Xun Shunqing couldn't have imagined that what he taught the people would save him first.
"Your Majesty, Lord Xun is really a good official, we beg Your Majesty!"
The old farmer who took the lead, after finishing all the words in his stomach, lay on the ground and kept kowtowing.
Lao Zhu waved his hand, "We have a number in our hearts, you go down to rest, don't be afraid, take a bath, fill your stomach, let them take it, and see the scenery of the capital." β
Lao Zhu was kind enough to appease, and a eunuch took the old peasants down.
When the old farmer left, Zhu Yuanzhang's old face also changed color, black as the bottom of a pot!
His Majesty the Emperor stood on top of the Danqi, looking down at the hundred officials, and suddenly shouted angrily!
"Get on your knees!"
It's okay now, even Liu Chun has to follow, who am I messing with? I knew I wasn't here to join in the fun. Liu Chun still has idle henchmen, but what about the others, especially the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials, are already covered by dark clouds at this moment, and lightning and thunder are roaring.
"Good! I finally opened my eyes! Your set of methods, using a literary word, is it called power? β
In a word, Zhao Mian and Yang Jing hurriedly knelt and climbed two steps and pleaded guilty together!
Both of them are considered new officials, and in terms of responsibility, it is not a big deal, but who made them the heads of the two yamen, and who did Lao Zhu look for if he didn't settle accounts with them?
"I allowed Yu Shi to hear about the rumors, because I was afraid that you would not dare to speak, the great disadvantage of the country lies in the obscurity, the way of speech is cut off, I can't hear the truth, and the world is not far from chaos. That's why I have given you the right to speak up, and I will not be convicted of my words. β
"But what have you done now?" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "A diligent magistrate with outstanding political achievements, praised by the people, for him, he did not hesitate to run hundreds of miles to the capital to express his grievances." When you open your eyes, you can see that those people are poor people, they have been to the county seat as far as their lives, and you have forced them to run all the way to the capital. You know, a lot of people leave home with a will to die, you know? is also an official, who can make the people spare their lives? Stand up and let me see? β
Old Zhu paused and sneered: "No, not one!" If I kill you and hang your head on the wall, it will only attract the people to applaud! Ask yourself, are you ashamed? β
Lao Zhu's words are really heart-wrenching.
Yang Jingping has always prided himself on being a cadre, but now that he thinks about it, he is really far behind!
The Metropolitan Procuratorate has a bad heart, which is simply a shame on all the officials, and if they are not severely punished, they will be sorry for the piggs on their chests......
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhao Mian again.
"Officials! You are in charge of the selection, the officials below the fifth grade, the evaluation, appointment and dismissal, scheduling, and the salary are all under the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials! Who is the Qing official and who is the capable minister, if you can't even tell, what else do I want the officials to do? β
Zhao Mian hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the minister will immediately investigate thoroughly when he turns around, and the minister is willing to guarantee the head on the item, if there is any further mistake, the minister is willing to ask for the death penalty!" β
Lao Zhu was noncommittal, he turned his gaze to everyone again, "I govern the world, I have never shown favoritism, and I have never been soft on corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Today, I want to add one more, that is, all the courtiers who are honest and hard-working, I must take care of them and reuse them. It is never allowed to reverse black and white and confuse right and wrong in the Ming Dynasty! I am not the Turbid World, and I will not allow you to come nonsense! β
Lao Zhu is really loud, cutting gold and jade, every word is like a sword of immortals, directly hitting the heart and lungs.
"This case is not over, in addition to framing Zhongliang, do you still want to use this to fight against the law? The Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate must investigate clearly and punish them severely! I also want to tell you that whoever obstructs the change of the law first will lose his head, and you are welcome! β
"Now, go down at once, and reflect on yourself...... Liu Chun stayed, and I still had things to do. β
