Cheng Xiaolian is no longer the chick who doesn't understand anything, in the past he still tried to fight against the civil and military ministers, although every time it seems that no one can compete with him on the surface, but they are forced to do something according to their ideas by their chatter.

So he also learned to take a step back from each other, Cheng Xiaolian, who can regress, no longer insists on it, but if he can't regress, Cheng Xiaolian wants to put him on the bright side, and everyone has a number in their hearts, so as not to push back and forth in the end, or a group of people to bully Cheng Xiaolian.

The word bullying is not too much at all, since Cheng Xiaolian became His Royal Highness of the Ming Dynasty, the civil and military ministers automatically became two opposing classes with him, this is the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, either the king overwhelmed the minister, or the minister overwhelmed the king, during this period, if the emperor was too lazy to do it himself, he would command the eunuchs around him, such as the East Factory and the West Factory, these eunuchs actually did not do much good work, and the biggest advantage was to listen to the emperor.

Although they sometimes keep the emperor in the dark, but in general, they must follow the emperor's wishes, because they have no foundation, the emperor wants to kill the minister, there will be other ministers to stand up and plead, the emperor wants to kill the eunuch, never so troublesome, a knife, no one will say anything.

Of course, if you meet the time when the monarch and the minister meet, it can be regarded as a peaceful and prosperous era, like the Ming Xiaozong period, the reward of the painter has to add a sentence: "Take it away quickly, lest those scholars see it and go to the book to impeach." "gave enough face to the minister, and became the highest-rated emperor in the Ming Dynasty except for the previous four generations of emperors.

For example, Emperor Chongzhen, with his temporary likes and dislikes, destroyed Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs, raised the Donglin Party to a very high position, and finally ate the bitter fruit and hanged the coal mountain.

There must be a balance between the monarch and the minister, it is not good for anyone to cross the line, of course, the founding emperor is not among them, that is the person who fights the world with a big knife, what do you mention to him to rule the world with the scholars, he slashes you and you have to be charged with rebellion.

Since Cheng Xiaolian doesn't want to kill like Emperor Taizu, he must firmly control this point, no matter who the heir is, he will not be set aside, nor will he act recklessly. This is what later generations often said, a good system makes bad people good, and a bad system makes good people bad.

Cheng Xiaolian's move was unsurprisingly praised by the Chinese martial arts, and everyone thought that His Royal Highness did not seek palace luxury, did not covet pleasures, and was definitely a famous monarch through the ages, so he began to publicize it. In short, they have got the benefits in their hands, and they don't have to bother to build a palace for His Highness, and it would be a little too ignorant to publicize His Highness's wise image again.

Cheng Xiaolian is not too disappointed, when he fights as a soldier for food, these people bring the whole family to run for such a day, if you want the horse to run, you have to give it some grass, of course, you can't let it eat too much, too full to be too lazy to run.

The six ministries of the cabinet were quickly established in accordance with the old system of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial historians and officials were also appointed one after another, and the only thing that changed was that Cheng Xiaolian gave ten times as much as Emperor Taizu, and he would never barter.

According to Emperor Taizu's salary, a county official of the seventh grade can receive 90 stone rice every year, which is enough for 35 people to eat for a year, according to Emperor Taizu's thoughts, it can be regarded as treating them well. But the actual situation is completely different from what Zhu Yuanzhang expected, those scholars have worked hard for more than ten or even decades, and finally got the title of the gold list to get the quota outside, and he only has 90 stone rice in his hand, and he still has to use this 90 stone rice to feed a person in the yamen, what is even more excessive is that this 90 stone is not pure rice, there was something that was produced more back then, and it was useless to keep it in the treasury, so it was exchanged for you according to the market price, and it was not okay.

That is, a county order has worked hard for a year, and only more than 50 stone rice can be brought home, which can feed 21 people, and some silk cloth, cotton cloth and the like are not worth much in the market, but they are very valuable things when they are exchanged for you.

So the officials of the Ming Dynasty were forced to have no choice, and there were real Qing officials, people like Hai Rui, there was only one old servant in the family, and he had to be responsible for growing vegetables for him to eat, he only ate coarse grains and brown rice for every meal, and he was reluctant to eat even white rice, which is the true portrayal of the Ming officials who were not greedy. Who has been studying hard for so many years in order to suffer crimes, so the Ming officials tried their best to find it back from the people.

And Cheng Xiaolian raised the money to ten times, and issued a strict order, the silver should be issued silver, the rice should be sent to the rice, the silver is accurate to one point, the rice must not be shoddy, if the court can not issue the money, officials at all levels can be corrupt, if the court is not the slightest bit of money, according to the rules set by Emperor Taizu, embezzle sixty-two, peel the skin and fill the grass!

Cheng Xiaolian's coming up with this regulation is not a hard work, on a whim, and later generations have a nice name for this behavior, called high salary and honesty. You said that the whole family can't eat enough, and you don't have the heart to be honest and honest, well, the seven-grade official's Yulu can feed 350 people, and it is not discounted, if you say that the whole family can't eat enough, then you can only blame you for eating too much.

The controversy in later generations about high salaries and incorruptibility lies in the fact that the Song Dynasty was very high, but there were also many corrupt officials. There is a drawback in this, the national policy of the Song Dynasty is to rule the world with scholars, and the so-called punishment of doctors is very well executed in the Song Dynasty, which also makes those people fearless.

But the Ming Dynasty is different, what is it to rule the world with scholars, don't you dislike Emperor Taizu's knife is not fast enough? Emperor Taizu could even think of skinning and making drums, what else did he dare not do. As long as you get enough sixty taels of silver, Cheng Xiaolian will not finish peeling the skin, and will also give you a tree stele for free and put it in the academy, so that you will be stinky for 10,000 years, and you will not be at peace if you lose your head.

There are no complaints about this, Emperor Taizu set such a low salary, those people didn't pinch their noses and admit it, and now Cheng Xiaolian has raised the salary, as long as he is an official, it can be said that he will not worry about eating and drinking, if he stretches out his hand again, but he will risk his life and death to take silver, and take a third-grade official, as long as he is not corrupt, he will get more than 4,000 stone of white rice every year, which is converted into more than 2,000 taels of silver.

Many people who have watched a lot of film and television dramas may think that it is not a lot, but you must know that the roadside oil vendor earns only 20 taels a year, and a third-grade official gets a hundred times the silver of him.

I've worked so hard to make changes, do you want to vote for me, hahaha!
