People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 321: Put a big label on him and kill his whole family on the grounds of undermining the reform.

Chen Han fell into deep thought after hearing what the prince said.

Why did Zhang Juzheng implement the imperial examination law when he died? Zhang Siwei immediately abolished it as soon as he came to power.

Even the good old man Shen Shixing changed the test method during the implementation process.

It's not because the test method is not good, but because there are many people who take advantage of loopholes.

Just as Shen Shixing and others said at that time, when taxation meets the test of law.

It is impossible to complete it just because of a quota.

In many places, even 60% of the tax revenue could not be collected, so the court could only compromise.

Sometimes a fee of 50% is considered good.

And if the test becomes law, a dead number will be stipulated.

If the officials below cannot complete the task, they can only wait to be removed from office or be fined for a month.

They actively promoted reforms.

The salary is not much in the first place, but no one can bear the penalty of one month.

Therefore, some people below take advantage of the loopholes and feel that they have no hope of promotion.

This kind of change can only be counterproductive.

He finally understood why Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son were in a dilemma when encountering this problem.

By the time it was implemented at the local level, half a year had passed, and it naturally began to encounter obstacles when it was implemented.

They actively use rules and regulations to fix every move of the people below.

This kind of change is abnormal.

Some even use the examination method to seek their own interests.

How did these cruel officials come into being?

It is to agree with Wang Anshi's reform.

It's because they really want to support Chen Han in taking this path.

But the real problem is that many officials have to compromise because they have passed the legal examination.

What for?

The purpose is to be able to carry out the reform to the greatest extent, and the purpose is to please the higher-ups.

What I was thinking about was Wang Anshi's reforms back then. Many of the people he promoted were famous and cruel officials later on.

As soon as I heard about the reform, I immediately felt like a dog had smelled shit and followed the reform.

Once this happens, it becomes an irreversible trend.

These problems did not appear at first because the examination method had just been implemented.

Everyone is fresh and still adapting.

When many people heard about the reform, they immediately thought of Wang Anshi's reform in the Northern Song Dynasty.

After thinking about this, Chen Han sat down.

And the shackles are becoming more and more tight.

However, their method was counterproductive. Not only did they not make the reform take root in the hearts of the people, but they also made the officials at the bottom feel that more than one shackle was placed on their heads.

As a result, they now have a physiological reaction and feel like vomiting when the reform is mentioned.

Once this kind of thing happens, these people below will become popular.

When the time comes, let alone test the law, there will be no way to complete it, and even other basic reforms will be questioned.

Even if some people take advantage of the opportunity of taking the official examination, then maybe someone will take advantage of the opportunity of the gentry and the gentry to pay their own share of the income, and so on.

If someone really takes advantage of these loopholes, does that mean that this reform is not perfect yet and needs to be constantly changed.

And if there is such a hole, the suspicion of everyone will not be reduced.

Then these reforms will turn into a joke.

Thinking of this, even Zhu Yuanzhang, as the iron-blooded emperor, had to hesitate. His hesitation was not against the reform, but his hesitation was to promote the success of the reform.

After listening to the prince's words, Chen Han sat down.

Zhu Yuanzhang said at this time, "None of us want to see the reform fail and be unable to be implemented, not because the officials don't want to implement it.

But some officials took advantage of this situation. "

Chen Han was very angry when he thought of this and slapped the table: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, it seems that a bloody reform is really going to happen.

Originally, I always thought that reform was a very cruel thing to climb up by stepping on other people's bones.

But now I understand that this is right and this must be done.

Without blood and bones, it would be impossible to scare those young people.

I once even naively thought that only we could increase the anger of officials and make them agree to the reform.

Give them a taste of something good, and they will agree and follow suit.

But now I find that is not the case, it is not that simple.

These guys are stubborn and stubborn, and they dare to take risks for the benefit of some sesame seeds.

That being the case, let the butcher knife of reform taste blood. "

What Chen Han said was very bloody and decisive.

His intention is obviously to pass a bloody coup, that is, to dye this land red with blood,

Let everyone know that reform is reform, and reform is to make some people with vested interests lose their interests.

Reform is about improving outdated old rules.

The purpose is to let some people understand that what is happening now is a reform.

Rather than giving them a chance to take advantage of the loopholes.

Chen Han continued: "Let the tax inspection department go deep into the grassroots level, especially supervise the prefect level.

Aren’t fixed quotas reported every year? Can! Once it is discovered that some prefects are trying to retaliate against the magistrates below, they will immediately arrest him and chop off his head as a warning to others.

I don't believe it anymore. If I kill a few more prefects, I'll see who dares to fill in random reports.

As long as it is found to be malicious, the fixed amount made to attack colleagues will be immediately killed without mercy.

On the grounds of sabotaging the reform, he was slapped with a big label and his whole family was killed.

If we continue to kill like this, I believe that within a year everyone will know that the quota cannot be set casually.

At the same time, scientifically fixed and quantitative rewards will be given to those who can truly achieve their performance.

Give him a one-year salary or even two years' salary at a time.

The imperial court now has plenty of money, and can reward him with ten years' salary.

Now that we have overturned the Confucian stance of blindly pursuing fame, we must satisfy the welfare of officials who truly serve the court and serve the people in terms of interests.

I want those officials who actually solve the people's difficulties to know that as long as they make decisions for the people, the court will make decisions for them.

As long as he loves the people, the court will love them.

As long as they put food on the table for the people, the court would make him prosperous and wealthy for the rest of his life. "

Chen Han said very excitedly, which is also his current mood.

Just like what he said, the court now has a lot of real money and if it is spent, it will definitely be able to cultivate more good officials.

In the past, people who were officials would think that taking money would be an insult, but now Chen Han doesn't think so.

He even thinks that today's officials actually value money more seriously than before, and giving them more money before giving them is the greatest respect for them...
