Editing of the ten loyal ministers and the emperors standing up

Chapter 124 A different kind of Hai Rui, Hai Qingtian

Hai Rui's measure soon had a good effect in changing the academic style.

In view of his good teaching skills, he was recommended by the "Inspector and Supervisor" and was later appointed as the magistrate of Chun'an County, Zhejiang Province. From then on, he moved from the teaching world to the political world.

So, Hai Rui took office in Chun'an County!
Hai Rui and Zhang Juzheng lived in the same era, so they naturally had the same drawbacks. People fled seriously and Ming Dynasty's taxes were very heavy.

One reason is that the equalization of corvee is too heavy, and the other reason is that taxation is uneven. People with land pay very little tax, while people without land pay a lot.
This is because the local wealthy colluded with the local government and tried every means to transfer their land to someone else's household registration name.
As a result, the ownership remains with oneself, but the tax liability is transferred to the poor, thereby achieving the purpose of tax evasion.

So in Chun'an County, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Not only Chun'an County, this is also a microcosm of the entire Ming Dynasty.

above the sky,

Hai Rui said calmly:
"The rich are taxed less, the poor are taxed more, those with land are taxed less, and those without land are taxed more. It's so difficult for the people of Ming Dynasty!"

The yamen servant behind him said respectfully and arrogantly,

"Sir, everyone else is doing this! Let's just follow the trend!"

"I can't control what others do. Under my rule, officials at both the upper and lower levels must not be corrupt. The common people work hard, and this is my bottom line!
There are also people who are slaves. It is not a national event. If they are used privately, they will be compensated according to the market. Public weapons are not allowed for private use! "

Hai Rui quickly organized the county officials, officials, and government officials to give lectures and fired the first shot at clean government!
Declaring that he would only receive a salary from the court and not a single stitch from the local government, this honest cadre canceled the local "black income".

Although the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was not as high as what is said online, they could not even afford food, but it was indeed very low.

With these "gray incomes" eliminated, Hai Rui could only live in simple clothes, or even worse, eat chaffy vegetables.

Hai Rui, who was constantly rushing around Chun'an County, even showed his talents, but he still rushed to the front line and worked tirelessly.

Great Qin.

Perhaps after seeing Zhang Juzheng's amazing performance, both Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng and Prince Fusu felt a little dull.

They are even thinking, why not follow Mr. Zhang’s method?

Young Master Fusu also said awkwardly:
"Master Hai seems to be a diligent and good official. It's a pity that he lives in the same era as Mr. Zhang. I'm afraid his limelight will be overshadowed."

Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng didn't reply, but he showed a look of approval. At present, it seems that this person is a good official, but I don't know what his ability is?

Big man.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others had much simpler minds. Zhang Fei smiled and said:

"Okay, this Hai Rui is an honest official!"

"No, this man has the demeanor of a big brother, he is only virtuous and virtuous, and he has the air of a gentleman!"

Guan Yu smiled and said,

Zhao Yun next to him interjected,

"Second brother, third brother, you think this scene is really strange. One of the characters looks more like Zhuge Military Advisor, while the other looks more like the lord, hahaha!"

Zhuge Kongming shook his head and smiled,

"That's not necessarily true. The nature of this Hai Rui is still somewhat different from that of the main attacker. It's better not to jump to conclusions prematurely. Let's take a look again!"

And Zhuge Kongming is Liu Bei's favorite, Liu Bei said seriously:
"Even if Zhang Juzheng is as good as he is, he can't compare to a military advisor's finger. You guys, please don't make random comparisons."

"Hahaha!"

"Brother is in a hurry!"

……

The monarchs and ministers of several other dynasties had similar views, and finally it was the turn of the Ming Dynasty!Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the little fanboy Hai Rui above the sky. He looked at this little brother with great admiration, as if he was the only one among all the courtiers who followed his own rules.

Especially when he saw that after Hai Rui took office, he strictly followed his own requirements for serving as an official. In addition to his own prescribed salary, he himself cut off all gray income.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said happily:
"Okay, this is our good minister. The salary we set has been carefully calculated in order to eliminate corruption among officials. This man's personal ethics are much better than that of Zhang Ju!"

Although our old Zhu has let go of Zhang Juzheng, it does not mean that he is not petty.

He could remember that someone lived an extremely prosperous life. Although his death was very tragic, this person did not meet the standard of a perfect courtier in his heart!

Zhu Biao said weakly:
"Father, although you have set such strict standards, in the end it is the corrupt officials who enjoy the blessings, while those honest officials, straight ministers, and loyal ministers are left in poverty and will not receive any good rewards!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, yes!Hai Rui.Such a minister who met his standards very well was just a civil servant. He even made great contributions and became a county magistrate!

Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie and others are tactful and flexible, and they are already considered famous officials with bad personal ethics!
What about the other ministers who are more greedy and incompetent?
These people even take money and do nothing!

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,

"Biao'er, we have set strict criminal laws. As long as the amount of corruption exceeds a certain amount, you will be skinned and stuffed as grass. This is our ancestral motto. Why will the Ming Dynasty in later generations be so decadent?"

Queen Ma glanced at her husband and said with an angry smile:
"No need to ask, isn't Mr. Zhang in front of me the best example?"

Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed, "Zhang Juzheng!"

"Oh I got it!"

Prince Zhu Biao also reacted and immediately understood what the Queen Mother meant. He followed Queen Ma's meaning and explained:

"Father, look at Mr. Zhang, he is not only the chief assistant of our Ming Dynasty, but also the Grand Master who is the head of the three princes!

He was the only voice in the entire Ming Dynasty, and he even dared to tell the court that he was the regent!
In the Ming Dynasty, under the promotion of Mr. Zhang, not only the examination method but also the whipping method were implemented perfectly, even better than your father's policy!

But what happens after he dies?Not only were the family members persecuted, but all the political reforms were overturned. Even the Ming Dynasty was about to perish. People died and politics died! "

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little distracted, and he said that he might be the man in his dream. He had been in the game for a long time, and he didn't expect such a simple truth!

Yes, he is like the ancestral dragon Ying Zheng. When he was alive, he could suppress the six kingdoms and not dare to act rashly. But after his death, how could those wealthy families, gentry and landlords give up eating away at the foundation of the Ming Dynasty?

"Alas, Mr. Zhang's method doesn't work either. This honest official named Hai Rui is also in such a tight situation. Where should I go from here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed!
Above the sky, the picture continues to play:
"Sir, life for the people of Chun'an County is getting better and better, and we are all happy to see it!"

"Aren't you complaining about me? I've cut off your financial path?"

"Where are you talking, sir? Those county magistrates in the past didn't eat the bulk and only gave the little ones some leftovers.
In the end, we have to bear the infamy of our neighbors and fellow villagers, and only the adults regard us as their own. "

"Yes, your Excellency not only thinks about us, but even cultivates the backyard into a vegetable patch and thinks of various ways to increase our income. It's too late for us to be grateful. How can we blame you!"

Hai Rui looked at his subordinates with relief, smiled and reassured:
"Okay, the days will get better and better in the future. I have already started to re-measure the land. From now on, the people of Chun'an County will pay as much tax as we should, and we will never let others take advantage of us!"

Hai Rui only effectively put an end to some of the "hidden rules". Chun'an soon returned to normal economic development, and people's lives were much better than before.

The officials and government servants saw it, and the people even more so. The people had a steelyard in their hearts, as clear as a mirror.

Hai Rui is a loyal minister, a straight minister, and an upright official!
But it is not a machine that cuts off human desires, nor is it a stupid person who runs to the emperor and begs for death, or a famous thief who pursues fame!

Hai Rui is not a clay Bodhisattva who is withdrawn and avoids strangers!

Otherwise, he would not be supported by the people, nor would he become the only Qingtian in history!

One is Bao Qingtian and the other is Hai Qingtian!
