Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 88 The Secret Folding System, the Administrative Staff System!

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "The emperor has thought it over carefully!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu and asked, "What can Master do?"

"The method is also simple!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "I think that they are unlikely to transfer their land in a short period of time. If things go on like this, it will be hard to say. If they really want to transfer the land, they must cooperate with the court's next step. The New Deal—Everything goes to the mu!”

"The land is divided into acres, I remember what the master said, that is to let people with more land pay more taxes, and people with less land pay less taxes?!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "This is a good policy!"

"Your Majesty, that day the ministers formulated the national policy of distributing the income to the mu in the cabinet. However, it is really not easy if they want to divide the income into the mu. Once it is implemented, it will inevitably encounter many resistances, just like the emperor said. They were hiding people before, but now they are hiding land!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Haogu paused slightly, and asked: "But your majesty, Rong Chen asks a question, who do you think knows the most about how much land these big landlords have?"

Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought, and then said, "Is it them?"

"It's impossible for them to remember!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile, "It's like now, I don't even know how much land my family has!"

Zhu Youxiao: "..."

Afterwards, Zhu Youxiao said: "Master, don't be a fool!"

"It's the common people, the tenant farmers in their family. They are the most aware of how much land the landlord's family has!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, first of all, what we need to train is a group of low-level officials. Their main role is to mobilize the common people and boldly expose how much land these landlords have hidden. Let the common people believe that as long as these landlords are exposed, it will be of great benefit to them!"

Zhu Youxiao was a little excited: "What the master said is very true, but, I, what should I do!"

"Your Majesty, didn't we establish Yongding County?"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Based on Yongding County, these refugees and disaster victims, the imperial court may as well give them an identity called Si Li, and let these alternate officials carry ten Si Li each when they go to the local inspection!"

Zhu Youxiao listened very seriously: "Master, what do you mean is to ask these officials to do a specific investigation?"

"These officials are responsible to the emperor!"

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, we might as well set up an academy. These officials are selected from the academy. They need to know how to measure land, know how to calculate, and also need to let them understand some propaganda, so that they can be responsible for publicizing the policies of the imperial court. In addition, you can still give the emperor a book!"

"First, let them introduce the local situation to the emperor's memorial every month. Second, it is also used to assist these alternate officials to prevent someone from cheating, so that alternate officials cannot discover the real corrupt officials. The third is Let them report and report corrupt officials, this secret book may not be sent to the cabinet, but also to our academy!"

What Zhang Haogu said was another immoral move of Yongzheng - the secret book system.

To put it simply, it is to allow officials, large and small, to submit secret memorials, which can make information collection and communication more convenient, but at the same time increase the burden on the emperor-how Yongzheng was exhausted.

Zhang Haogu didn't plan to have all the officials come to the memorial, so he must be exhausted to death?

The first is to specify the content, and the second is to specify the number of people.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "This is interesting!"

Then, he was slightly taken aback: "Isn't this the same as Jin Yiwei?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, the functions and powers are still different. Jin Yiwei is responsible for military and political reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. They can also participate in the work of collecting military information and instigating rebellion against enemy generals. The nature is different!"

"The task of the officials is to be able to read, read, and understand arithmetic. In addition, their main job is to help the imperial envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to complete the inspection work, but Jin Yiwei does not have this role!"

After a pause, Zhang Haogu murmured in his heart: "As far as Jinyiwei is concerned, it is okay to bully and oppress the common people. If you really expect them to do things, then forget it. If this is the Jinyiwei in Zhu Yuanzhang's era, there must be no problem, but the problem is that now It cannot be said that Jin Yiwei is useless at all, but that is what it is, and he has long been the lackey of Dongchang!"

At the end of Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei had a total of 15 people.

However, in the end, it did not bring any positive effect to Daming's precarious country.

"I think it's feasible!" Zhu Youxiao nodded: "However, how should these officials be arranged?"

"I think that the imperial court will give them a public position, which is different from Jinyiwei and Dongchang fans. How about calling them political servants? It is to assist officials in governing!"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, this political official is interesting!"

Zhang Haogu said: "Besides, I think that their treatment should be improved, after all, it is for the imperial court. After this year, ten taels of silver are always required!"

"In addition, there is the problem of providing for the elderly. It is necessary to solve their pension work. In addition, we must give them a certain amount of ideological education, so that they understand that what they do is a righteous act, and it is for the country and the people. For the benefit of future generations!"

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "Do you want to get money from the household department again?"

"I think that if it is carried out to increase the tax revenue for the court, it will not be a problem to support these officials!"

Zhang Haogu continued: "Your Majesty, it is impossible to let the horse run well and let the horse not eat grass!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "It makes sense!"

"also!"

Zhang Haogu hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "If you want to make them work harder, you have to give them official titles, breaking the boundary between petty officials and officials, if you have made great achievements!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu and said: "There is no precedent for the 200 years of the Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty, the new law of the country!"

Zhang Haogu said: "It is to break the tradition. Those who have made contributions to the court should be rewarded, and those who are capable should be reused. What I mean by ministers is not to be directly promoted. Start with small officials, for example, from the ninth rank. Give them An opportunity to make them think that as long as they make contributions to the court, they can be promoted!!"

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Will it be too hasty?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, this is a matter of course. Someone has made great achievements, and the Emperor rewards him. Now that there is a consensus within the internal, it will become a practice over time. Now that the practice has been formed, we will set up explicit regulations!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded. He didn't reject the idea of ​​these government officials. As long as they can govern the country, it doesn't matter whether they got the imperial examination or not.
