Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 214 Sun Chuanting swings the sword
The atmosphere in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was led astray very early, especially the continuous party struggles in the Wanli Dynasty, Taichang Dynasty, and Tianqi Dynasty, which exacerbated official corruption. This is a systematic group status quo.

In the general environment where power-seeking, power-for-money transactions, and collusion between officials and gentry prevail, frequent replacement of a few cabinet ministers cannot solve practical problems.

After all, most of the local officials in Daming are like dogs of a feather, and even if the policies that are not conducive to them are formed in the court, how many of them will implement them without compromise after they leave the capital?
According to Emperor Chongzhen's conception, after replacing a group of ministers who were obsessed with scheming, pragmatism, and slapstick through the Yuan case raised this time, and this case made the civil servants have nothing to say, the basic political structure of the court , will not move easily in a short time.

How to obtain more money and food, how to expand the size of the new army, and how to build a basic plate are the things that are placed in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

"When you got together and familiarized yourself with the various systems required to rectify the Chongwenmen tax customs, the situation in the DPRK and China experienced some ups and downs."

Sun Chuanting sat on the official hat chair, looked at the big and small officials of the Chongwenmen tax customs he had selected, and said with a serious expression: "I haven't submitted the memorial to recommend you to Your Majesty yet.

If you have regrets in your heart, you can explain it to the official now, take off the official uniform you are wearing, and leave directly, and the official will not blame you.

After all, Jin Yiwei's supervision of Yuan Chonghuan's case has caused quite a lot of controversy and turmoil between the government and the opposition, and I don't want to judge this matter too much.

Yesterday outside the Meridian Gate, many ministers and students from the Imperial College gathered, and even Han Yuanfu was alarmed in the end.

This official has never done things that are difficult for others. The next thing to do will inevitably touch the interests of some people. If you are not too determined, it is best not to get involved.

You were all from the Shuntian government office before, people with good abilities but no connections, this is the only chance you have, whether you can grasp it depends on your own choice. "

After saying that, Sun Chuanting picked up the teacup, took a sip, and didn't pay attention to the people gathered in the hall. These were all selected by Sun Chuanting to replace the officials of Chongwenmen tax customs and various tax bureaus inside and outside the capital.

If you want to rectify the Chongwenmen tax customs and meet the standards set by Emperor Chongzhen, you must first make solid preparations, and you can't go on the rampage as soon as you come up, otherwise there will be troubles that will affect all the squares in the capital, and you will be caught by the patrolling censor .

"Fu Yin, the lower officials will not back down!"

It made Sun Chuanting feel gratified that none of the officials he selected flinched, and each of them shouted in a deep voice with firm expressions.

After all, before this, they had no connections in the capital, and they did all the dirty work, and others took the credit for their hard work. Now that they finally had the opportunity, how could they slip away the opportunity in vain?
"Okay, I really saw you right."

Sun Chuanting stood up, lifted the sleeves of his robe, and said: "Do your job with all your heart, abide by the new regulations set by the Chongwenmen Customs, as long as you can do this well, your Majesty will not fail to see it.

Let's go, go with me to the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, and prepare to lead the new tax bureau to take over the various places. "

"Here!"

Since it was to rectify the Chongwenmen tax customs, in order to avoid problems during the takeover period, Sun Chuanting still adopted a safe method, from the loyal army led by Sun Zushou, and selected a group of soldiers with severed hands and arms from the soldiers who had been disabled in the previous battle. With them as the backbone, a group of newly recruited soldiers was selected to form a tax team directly under the Chongwenmen Tax Customs.

The political task of properly arranging the disabled soldiers was previously explained to Sun Chuanting and Sun Zushou by Emperor Chongzhen when he returned to Beijing. in charge of this matter.

Let those soldiers who have bleed and been injured by the Ming Dynasty, even if they are disabled, not need to worry about their future livelihood, and can even earn money to support their families with their skills. This is what Emperor Chongzhen insisted on doing. Instead of wasting time and energy, To win over those civil officials, it is better to win over these illiterate soldiers.

Every time a dog is slaughtered by justice, it is mostly a scholar who bears his heart.

"Mr. Sun... what wind brought you here." Sun Zushou, who came out with a knife, walked towards Sun Chuanting with a smile on his face, and saluted Sun Chuanting, "But is there anything that I need to do?"

Seeing the officials behind Sun Chuanting, Sun Zushou knew what was going on.

"Admiral Sun, Your Majesty sent an order to the Admiral's Mansion of Jiumen to assist me in rectifying the Chongwenmen tax customs." Sun Chuanting returned the salute with his fists clasped, "It was never the best time before, but now I think it's time, I don't know what to do directly under How is Admiral Sun's ordering of the tax team at the Chongwenmen Tax Customs?"

"It's been sorted out a long time ago."

Sun Zushou said with a smile on his face: "I have been waiting for news from Mr. Sun Fu Yin, what should I do next? I need the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, what should I do?"

"Everything is done according to the rules."

Sun Chuanting said calmly: "I also ask Admiral Sun to send someone immediately to give orders to the guards of the various gates inside and outside the capital to maintain order in each gate.

The rest of the matter can be handled by officials sent from various places. "

"no problem."

Sun Zushou nodded with a smile, then turned around, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come here, immediately pass on this admiral's order, ordering the guards everywhere to strictly observe their duties and maintain order in each sect. Engage!"

"Here!"

For the Emperor Chongzhen, by entrusting the guarding of the capital to the jurisdiction of the ad hoc nine-door admiral, it can guarantee to the greatest extent that once the various plans for the capital are about to enter the implementation stage, there will be no major chaos.

If the Emperor Chongzhen had not threatened to win a great victory when he returned to the court in triumph, he had ordered Sun Zushou, the admiral of the nine gates, to lead his troops to take over the guarding of the inner and outer gates of the capital.

"Sun Fuyin... Right now, there is a lot of movement in the capital."

Sun Zushou stepped forward and whispered to Sun Chuanting: "At this time, you will intervene in Chongwenmen tax customs. I'm afraid those patrolling city censors' offices will definitely not let it go."

"I have already discussed these matters with Bi Shangshu."

Sun Chuanting lifted the sleeves of his robe, and said with a calm expression: "It is also out of this consideration that you are not asked to get involved in the official affairs of the Nine-door Admiral's Mansion, or you will follow the temperament of Ke Dao's gang of officials and censors, Won’t pass up this opportunity.”

Hearing this, Sun Zushou raised his brows slightly, and secretly rejoiced that Sun Chuanting was a good person, otherwise if he wanted to trip him up, he might not be able to bear what happened.
