Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 610 We Need You Outside the Customs

After issuing the imperial decree to deal with the case of attacking officials in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Youjian asked Wang Chengen to summon several eunuchs from the supervisor of ceremonies, and began to screen hundreds of books about the integration of gentry and gentry. The notebooks that are online are selected.

Since you want to resolutely carry out this important measure of governing the country, you must drive out the hardliners among the opponents from the court to express your attitude, and let those moderate opponents recognize the reality by the way, and stop Try to counter yourself with other actions.

Since the content of these inscriptions is not much, under the busy work of Wang Chengen and others, within half an hour, more than [-] inscriptions were placed in front of Zhu Youjian. Supervisor of rituals.

Among these books, except for six of which were written by Ke Dao officials, most of the rest were written by officials who moved north after the abolition of the small Nanjing court.

"My lord, how will these dogs be dealt with? Dismissed and returned home, won the fame, or handed over to the factory guards to arrest and treat them?"

Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youjian's face carefully and asked.

"It is the responsibility of the Kodao spokesperson to write a letter to say something, and I will not punish him for his excessive words. It is not feasible to block the way of speech.

However, Ke Dao's letter must also be based on the facts, and what he said must not be false. Write down the list of the six people and send them to the inspector's office, asking them to give admonishment and talk!

The rest of the people spoke badly because of the invasion of self-interest. Their words and deeds are not beneficial to the country, so they preached the decree. All the more than [-] people were demoted to the positions of the seventh rank, and the whole family was sent to various counties in Liaoning to teach and educate the people!
If someone threatens to resign and return home, then his fame will be taken away, he will be demoted to a commoner, and the whole family will still be moved out of the customs! "

Zhu Youjian ordered calmly.

Ever since they moved to the north, this group of people still has the old habit of finding fault. No matter what policies the imperial court promulgates, they always point their fingers at the sidelines, pick their noses and eyes, and have to list a lot of nonsense. to object.

These people are of relatively high grade, and they all have the right to act in the book. At first, Zhu Youjian looked through their inscriptions out of curiosity, wanting to see if there are any outstanding talents, so as to avoid the impression brought by him. And the sage was left out, but the result disappointed him greatly.

These inscriptions are full of nonsense citing scriptures, and they did not put forward any suggestions or strategies that are beneficial to the government. They were written purely to show their presence and attract their own attention.

Since then, Zhu Youjian's impression of this group of people has become even worse, but because they have been ignored by officials big and small in the current Yamen, and they have no real power in their hands to influence the government's decrees, so they tolerate them until today.

Compared with the important ministers in the current court, this group of people has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and they have tens of thousands of acres or even 10,000+ acres of rent-free land under their names or clans. They were the ones who suffered the most damage, so after hearing the news, this group of people tore off their masks of benevolence and morality, and publicly jumped out to accuse Zhu Youjian loudly, trying their best to prevent the introduction of this decree.

Zhu Youjian had been bored with them for a long time, and this time he happened to use them as targets to scare chickens and monkeys.

In the more than two hundred years since the Ming Dynasty, there were not a few officials who were beheaded or dismissed because they offended the emperor, but dismissal is dismissal, and your rank is still there.As long as you are still alive, after the limelight is over, those same-year-old friends who stay in the court will say a few good things to you from time to time, and you may be able to resume your original job one day, and it is common to go further.

But demoting an official is rare in the Ming Dynasty. This is a direct demotion. No matter how many years it took you to get promoted to today's rank, it will be invalid from today onwards, and you will go back to the starting point of your official career. If you want to get up again Almost impossible.

This kind of punishment is the most severe punishment except beheading and deprivation of fame. For these old bureaucrats who have worked hard in the officialdom for many years, it is worse than being exiled.

Because the imperial decree said that the whole family was sent outside the customs, which was actually a distribution.

It is estimated that after receiving the imperial decree, these people have a dead heart.

This time I really misjudged the situation, lost my wife and lost my army, and suffered along with my family.

Once he went to the bitter cold place outside the customs, even if his hometown had tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and earned millions of gold and silver every year, it had nothing to do with him.

In the barren land outside the pass, no matter how much money you have, you have no place to spend it. At most, you can dress warmer and eat better than others, and the rest are no different from others.

As for the dozens of candidates who were arrested by factory guards for uttering lies in public, Zhu Youjian planned to release them after a few more days of detention. Hand in a letter of repentance.

Zhu Youjian originally wanted to send these people to Liaoning together, but he finally gave up his original plan considering that he could not be accused of being a criminal.

We must let people have the right to speak, right?

"Although the emperor is a little more serious than before, his heart is still too soft. The factory guards should deal with these murderers. If we copy dozens of others, the internal funds will be more generous?"

Wang Chengen muttered in his heart and bowed to accept the order, and then he turned around and was about to order someone to deliver the order. After Zhu Youjian thought about it for a while, he then ordered: "Big companion, by the way, send someone to the cabinet to deliver the order, and call the cabinet ministers and the six ministries." Hall of Honor, Zhaoren Hall, to discuss matters!"

In order for the reform to be carried out smoothly, it is necessary to have a group of loyal supporters. It is very unwise to expect yourself to single-handedly fight against the whole world.

Although the safety inside and outside the imperial palace has been rectified, and I no longer have to worry about "accidents" such as falling into the water and dying, my ultimate goal is to change the existing system of Ming Dynasty, not to enjoy the prosperity and wealth with peace of mind.

Uniting a large number of people, isolating and combating a small group of ignorant people, and placing trustworthy and capable officials in various important positions throughout Daming, so that one's will can be carried out smoothly, is the current top priority.

So how should the majority of officials be united?

Interest bundling is the only means.

When everyone has the same interests, any obstacle will become the common enemy of the interest groups. At that time, these people will stand up spontaneously and use various means to safeguard their own interests without mobilizing themselves.

Isn't the Jiangnan interest group a clear proof?
At any time, in any system, there will be different interest groups, which no one has the ability to stop.

Interest groups are not terrible, what is terrible is the group that only cares about the self-interests of small groups and disregards the interests of the vast majority of people.

What I want to establish is the kind of group that takes into account the interests of the people of the world while taking into account its own interests.

Eat meat by yourself, and people all over the world will drink soup and eat steamed buns.

Well, that's fine.

"My lord, the elders are already waiting at Zhaoren Hall!"
