Chapter 120 The Disadvantages of Drifting

Of course, this is just the beginning.Artillery and Cavalry, which Zhu Youxiao values ​​more, will start courses in the near future, and more officers will enter martial arts.

"Sun Chengzong, Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Qiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Households, and Tao Lang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, made a statement first: The matter of corruption and corruption has been investigated, and many officials are involved. Ask for instructions on how to deal with it."

Liu Ruoyu reported the three returned memorials to the emperor together, and looked at the emperor inquiringly.

"Confiscation of family property, loss of nationality, and exile." The young emperor spit out a plain but somewhat cold disposition without thinking.

"Yes!" Liu Ruoyu's heart was awe-inspiring, and his mouth should be yes.

Zhu Youxiao is no stranger to the term "Piaomi". He has seen it many times in his novels, and he is deeply angry at the shamelessness of those civil servants.

At that time, for the Ming army stationed at the border, the military pay, food and grass were all escorted by the superior civil officials in the location.Even things like armor and weapons were escorted by civil servants, so there was the saying of drifting away.

Specifically, ten to eight, or ten to six, of which [-]%, [-]%, or [-]% will be given away. Civil officials' explanation is "drifting".It means that these things encountered accidents on the road and disappeared.

In fact, the ground was wet with water, and the officials withdrew layer upon layer, and all of them were embezzled by corruption.

This is true of food and silver, as well as armor and weapons.The shipping fee was paid separately by the imperial court, and it was not deducted from the "drifting".

It's not shipping by sea either. If the ship sinks in a storm, no one can do anything about the loss.Can those silver, armor, and weapons still fly along the way?

Historically, Dongjiang Town’s floating quota was “[-] yuan per year, until it reaches [-] to [-] yuan, and the rest will be returned as floating.” Who made you lose people in the court, which also shows the greed of civil officials at that time.

If the civil officials are gone, the military generals can only be withheld, and the soldiers suffer unspeakably, resulting in low combat power and unwillingness to fight to the death. The source is the corruption of the civil officials.

Zhu Youxiao had asked the factory guard to investigate secretly, and handed over the found evidence and the list of officials involved to the three new ministers.

How could the three ministers not understand the meaning of the emperor and clean up the house by themselves. This is the face given by the emperor, and it is also a chance for them to take office as new officials.

However, there are indeed many officials involved.Sun Chengzong and others also wanted to be more cautious, so they asked for instructions to see whether the emperor should take it lightly or seriously.

For civil servants, it is nothing to be demoted and dismissed, but it is a very serious punishment to lose their membership.

First of all, being expelled from the official ranks is the same as ordinary people.Strictly speaking, even the clothes of scholars are not allowed to wear.

This matter of face is not a big deal, the key is that after the citizenship is reduced to the people, the privileges that they originally enjoyed will be gone.

Not to mention collecting money in the cabin, even if you farm the land, you have to pay taxes normally, and you have to serve as errands and pay food just like ordinary people.

Therefore, the officials who have lost their status are not only a matter of losing face and losing their jobs, but their future livelihoods will be seriously affected.

Zhu Youxiao's punishment is very heavy, this is an outsider's opinion, but compared with Zhu Baba's skinning, Zhu Youxiao still thinks it is too lenient!
"Piaomi" was originally an unspoken rule that could not be stated clearly, but in the late Ming Dynasty, it became a semi-public rule. Civil officials took it with peace of mind, and others thought it was normal.

To take corruption for granted is simply horrific, the spectacle of the end of a dynasty!
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao believed that if he kept the rules and tolerated them, and did not need to govern with an iron fist, no matter how hard he tried, Daming would be doomed.

Wang Tiqian walked into the hall lightly, which still alarmed Zhu Youxiao.He signaled Liu Ruoyu to pause, and turned his gaze to Wang Tiqian.

"My lord, His Royal Highness Xin Wang is waiting outside." Wang Tiqian hurriedly bowed to report.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Let him in!"

Not much time, Zhu Youjian, the king of the new letter, entered the hall to salute and thank the emperor's brother.

After overthrowing Li Sancai, and getting a house and money, Zhu Youxiao took care of everything about the house bestowed by the king.The house has not been overhauled, so Zhu Youjian has to leave the palace and move in.

"My brother doesn't need to be too polite." Zhu Youxiao pointed and said with a smile, "Sit down and talk."

Zhu Youjian sat down and looked at the emperor with some respect.

"Although I'm leaving the palace to open a mansion, I still have to come to see me often in the future." Zhu Youxiao said kindly: "You must also study hard and study hard, and don't play wild."

Zhu Youjian cupped his hands and said: "The teachings of the emperor's brother should be remembered by the ministers."

Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile: "Have you read the imperial palace newspaper and the "Da Ming Forum" these days?"

"Emperor Brother has instructed, and I dare not slack off, I have read it all."

"How do you feel about the removal of officials?" Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips slightly, with a hint of consideration.

Zhu Youjian thought for a while, and said: "Brother Huang is wise, such people who form a party to fight slander, harm the country and the people, should be dismissed."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said: "Xu Zhaokui, who was deposed, and Zhao Nanxing, who was allowed to resign before, are said to be very upright, and there are quite a few people who complain about them. What do you think?"

Zhu Youjian couldn't help scratching his head, after all, he was still young, and was a little dizzy by the repeated inquiries.

"They, they are also forming a party to defend the corrupt Li Sancai." Zhu Youjian finally thought of the reason, and blinked at Brother Huang.

Zhu Youxiao picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said slowly: "This is what I did on purpose, to drive these useless officials who claim to be 'justice' but stick to the rules and sit and talk about the way from the court."

Oh, Zhu Youjian's eyes widened, looking a little surprised.

Although he also has a teacher, but when it comes to the emperor's scheming, the teacher can see it, and dare not explain it to him in depth.

"I'm usually impassioned, but I don't know what to do when I'm in trouble; I'm guilty of admonishing the royal family not to be greedy for money and talk about profit, but I'm helpless when I'm financially distressed, and I need internal money to help." Zhu Youxiao sneered, "What's the use of selling fame and honesty?"

Zhu Youjian seemed to understand, blinked, but nodded.

Zhu Youxiao said: "I am not afraid of what will be written in the history books. I want to be a responsible and accomplished king. If you don't have the courage to bear the stigma, if you don't treat the country as a home and govern it carefully, how can you resist foreign aggression and make the country peaceful and peaceful?"

"Brother Huang is very right." Zhu Youjian seemed to have realized something, and said: "Let those people talk behind their backs. If the country is well governed, Brother Huang is the king of Yao and Shun."

My younger brother should be Yao and Shun!

Zhu Youxiao thought of Emperor Tianqi's expectations for Chongzhen when he was dying in history, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when he heard the familiar words.

Don't trust those "just" civil servants, you have to take responsibility, or you are not afraid to bear the stigma, Zhu Youxiao felt that he had given some education enough, so he told him again, and then let the young Zhu Youjian leave.

In case, in case I was harmed, I will try my best not to let you bastards cheat the rookie Zhu Youjian and harm the country.
