Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 534
Hearing his words, the civil servants below were surprised.

Afterwards, it was the Chief Assistant He Fengsheng who said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to solve the chieftain problem?"

Based on the fact that before the Ming Dynasty, there was no precedent for the chieftain to return to the native land before he rebelled and died. Therefore, for a while, they couldn't get around this detour.

After He Fengsheng asked, Zuo Maodi, Ni Yuanlu and other officials all stared curiously at Emperor Chongzhen, waiting for him to speak.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them, and said with that firm tone: "In my Ming Dynasty, the chieftain system was abolished, and all were changed to prefecture and county systems. The original chieftains corresponded to official positions according to the size of the jurisdiction. Set up a title and let him choose a place to live in the Central Plains."

"This..." He Fengsheng gasped when he heard that.

To put it bluntly, it means that the emperor has great courage; but to put it bluntly, isn't this a bit ambitious?

The issue of chieftains was like this even during the time of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu. Your life has just improved, and if you want to come to such a big one, won't it force the chieftains to turn against each other?
Thinking of this, He Fengsheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed going to be done, but is it a long-term plan? The world has just seen the hope of peace. If you treat the chieftain like this, I am afraid that the southwestern chieftain will turn against him, and the world will be in chaos again." !"

"Yes!" Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, hurried out of the line, and quickly echoed, "Your Majesty, you will force against the chieftain!"

When the others saw it, they all waited to come out.

However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't wait for them all to speak, but asked in a deep voice: "If you don't change the land and return it to the people, will the chieftains be rebellious? Let's not talk about it, since the first year of Tianqi, the southwestern chieftains have settled down?"

"..." Upon hearing this, the courtiers in the Wenhua Palace were speechless.

In the first year of the apocalypse, the southwestern chieftains began a large-scale rebellion, which directly dragged down the military and political affairs in the southwest of Ming Dynasty, and lasted for more than ten years. This is obvious to all.

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, Zuo Maodi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the world to be peaceful and recuperate for a period of time before implementing this...the policy of reforming the land and returning it to the people?"

The others nodded slightly after hearing this.Some people even wanted to stand out and persuaded the emperor.

But at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen asked Zuo Maodi: "Now the armies are all elites. Do we have to let a group of soldiers who have never fought fight again when they are old?"

"..." Zuo Mao heard it for the first time, and was immediately speechless.

At this time, the officials in the Wenhua Palace had heard that the policy of reforming the land and returning the natives announced by Emperor Chongzhen must be resolutely implemented.

However, this kind of aggressive plan and such a strong style don't look like the emperor's own!

Thinking about it this way, Wang Chengen suddenly realized the most, and hurriedly went out to play: "Long Live Lord has already discussed a countermeasure, and the slaves and servants can wait for the order!"

Hearing this, He Fengsheng and the others immediately came to their senses.

This is the first time that the current emperor has mentioned this kind of reformation of the land to the locals with them, but the eunuch Wang Chengen, who is the emperor's most confidant, said that the emperor has already discussed the countermeasures. Who did he discuss with?Who is more qualified than them to discuss with the emperor?

Thinking of this, a word naturally jumped into their minds: Emperor Taizu!

It really doesn't work if you don't think so!

The event of Emperor Taizu's appearance was something they saw with their own eyes, even though it had been several months, it was still fresh in their memory!
But now the emperor's attitude towards this matter is exactly the same as the legendary emperor Taizu!
Isn't the answer obvious?

After thinking about this point, He Fengsheng and the others all bowed down and said: "The minister waits for the order!"

Who would dare to disobey the meaning of Emperor Taizu?

Emperor Chongzhen saw that a consensus had been reached, and they were all listening to him obediently, so he looked down at the draft on the imperial case, and then raised his head and said to his subordinates: "The matter of reforming the land and returning to the country requires six parts. Only by working together with the local government can this matter be done well. You must work hard and work together to do this well. Now, I am announcing the key points of the policy of reforming the land and returning it to the local people!"

Sure enough, it has been negotiated!
The ministers were thinking about it, and they all listened with pricked ears.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen laid out the few points he had concluded from the conversation with Liu Weichao one by one, and told them all of his courtiers.

In fact, if you want to do one thing well, it is not simply a matter of force, but requires the coordination of soldiers, officials, workers, rituals, punishments, and the Ministry of Households.

How to treat the chieftains differently, and what level of treatment is more reasonable for them, is a matter of comprehensive opinions from all sides.

In order to govern the chieftain area, the imperial court must send officials there, not just the chief officials.Because on the chieftain's side, it is necessary to rebuild all the shelves of the local yamen, which is another very important thing.

Do these things need money and food support, and the emperor said that to open free schools and educate the local people, people need money and food?
This is not just a matter of a chieftain site, but the entire Southwest of Ming Dynasty, must do the same.

Basically, it can be foreseen that in the next few years the government will focus on reforming the land in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this still needs to go smoothly in the military. If the military fails or there is a stalemate, it will take longer.

This imperial meeting has been going on for a long time.

Emperor Chongzhen put forward a general policy framework, and then the senior officials of Ming Dynasty refined the policy and made it concrete.

Emperor Chongzhen will listen to whether they are satisfied with these detailed plans, and if not, he will put forward his own ideas.

For example, on the point of selecting the southwestern chieftain to be appointed by the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen directly named a large number of names of censors and officials, and asked them to practice, saying that if they performed well, they would be ready to be reused in the future.

However, these people in the hall immediately pointed out that the censors named by the emperor were all those who impeached Sun Chuanting.

To put it bluntly, the emperor's meaning should be to allow them to personally experience the difficulty of the Yunnan-Guizhou region, so as to understand the difficulty of Sun Chuanting;

As for the ugly point, the emperor was dissatisfied with them and was retaliating.

However, if they stop it, they can't say it.

The emperor said, let them go to practice, if they perform well, they will be reused, and they can't stop them from being promoted!

Today's emperor, if it is said to be reused, he really knows how to reuse, and there are many examples of leapfrog promotion.

With the emperor's current temper, if he didn't want to go, he would probably be an official.It just so happens that the matter of preferential exemption for officials and gentry is still being investigated very strictly.If you don't have the status of being an official, it's hard to say how far life will go backwards!

Based on these, most of the civil servants in the Wenhua Palace couldn't help but be vigilant secretly. Today's emperor is not easy to offend!
Be careful, even if you get revenge, you will be speechless!
As for fooling the emperor again, let alone!
The factory guards are so rampant, and the consequences of daring to fool them are definitely very serious.

Therefore, they followed the will of Emperor Chongzhen and made this national policy of reforming the land and returning it to the people.

After discussion, it was determined that there were originally only three titles of Duke and Duke in Ming Dynasty, and it was restored to the five titles of Duke and uncle Zinan in the previous dynasty;

The treatment given to the chieftain is divided into three options: civil, military and knighthood.According to their own ability, the surrender chieftain can choose the corresponding civil and military official position, or those who don't want to be an official can be named viscount or baron according to the size of the territory.

Afterwards, chieftains were treated the same as ordinary civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty. If they were rewarded with merit, they could be promoted to the duke;
At the request of Emperor Chongzhen, officials who were about to be assigned to the Tusi territory had to go to the Daming Official Academy for a month of advanced study;

As for the content of the training, it depends on their understanding of the imperial court's policy on the chieftain's territory. If they fail the assessment, they can postpone their training for one month;

These officials in the Wenhua Palace were not surprised by this method.

Because since the opening of the Daming Official Academy, Emperor Chongzhen has actually been doing this.Vacancies for local officials appeared in various places, and those waiting officials were allowed to go to the Daming Official Academy for further study, and they were appointed by the Ministry of Officials according to the order of their assessment results.

In the same way, if an official wants to be transferred, whether it is promotion or demotion, they will be required to go to the Daming Official Academy to study the requirements of the official position they are about to hold, and they can only be transferred after passing the assessment.Among them, if the demoted officials fail the assessment, they may be transferred to a lower-level position.

Now, Emperor Chongzhen asked to go to the Tusi territory to serve as an official appointed by the first generation of the imperial court, and asked to enter the Daming Official Academy for further studies, which is a logical thing, and no one has any objection!
As for the establishment of a free school in the chieftain's territory, the school's professors or instructions, as well as disciplines, were appointed by the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty to teach science and take Confucianism into consideration.

The reason is simple. Confucianism is the foundation, and science is a new learning. Except for the talents of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many others who have the ability to teach.

As for the specific lessons, the system and so on, the Ming Dynasty originally had it, and it can be changed a little bit.

In fact, after Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, he attached great importance to education.The official credits of the Ming Dynasty are divided into two types: the central official school and the local official school. The teaching content includes the four subjects of rites, archery, calligraphy, and mathematics, as well as books such as the etiquette of awarding scriptures and history. The book is 500 words, and mathematics must pass "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

Local government schools also have a strict examination system. The monthly examination is held by the instructor once a month, and the yearly and scientific examinations are presided over by the education officer who is in charge of the education administration of a province.

The combination of science and Confucianism, that is, a slight modification on the basis established at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty;

After all these discussions were over, He Fengsheng and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, he found that Emperor Chongzhen's expression was a bit strange, and he knew immediately that there was probably something arbitrary to announce!
