Prince of Chaos

Chapter 370 Revolution is not a dinner party
People like Wang Xiaowu are not uncommon, on the contrary, there are many among the grassroots of Ji Town.

This is because Zhu Changluo's recruitment of officials in the governor's yamen this time focuses on the Xishan Huangzhuang.

In this regard, no one will gossip, and no one will say that Zhu Changluo is nepotism.

Because this way of employing people is commonplace both in the past and now.

Although meritocracy is the best ideal, ideals are always ideals, because Zhu Changluo is not sure who is virtuous and who is not.

He can't be sure that this sage will be loyal to him, understand him, and help him selflessly.

Because, Zhu Changluo knows that there is a difference between the sages he understands and the sages he understands in this era.

Therefore, from the standpoint of employing people, Zhu Changluo chose to be cronyistic more.

After all, only those who are close to him and loyal to him can properly carry out his ideas and will.

Those sages who cannot be sure of their loyalty, Zhu Changluo dare not move lightly, even if the other party has a particularly big name in history!
As long as he doesn't show his loyalty to Zhu Changluo, even if he is the pillar of the country that turned the tide in history, Zhu Changluo still doesn't need it.

Moreover, what's more, the historical figures in the late Ming Dynasty did not appear such top figures who turned the tide, and some were more tragic figures and people with ulterior motives.

In addition, whether it is Zhu Changluo or other local governors appointed by the court, the way they recruit staff is almost the same as what Zhu Changluo is doing now, they are all recruited by themselves.

These governors took office alone, and he did not rely on himself to order the local chief envoys, prefects, and county magistrates.He also needs a corresponding office to handle the errands entrusted to him by the court.

Therefore, they will also recruit the staff and clerks they need according to their own needs to run their governor's office.

Therefore, in this regard, the imperial court didn't care who the officials recruited as their staff!
What the court really cares about is the safety and security of the place.

As long as there are no vicious incidents of civil uprisings in a place, the population growth is normal, and taxes can be collected on time, the imperial court thinks that the officials here can do their jobs well.

This is not like a modern official assessment.

In addition to the assessment of taxation and gross product value, officials now also have to assess their ability and loyalty in other aspects.

Such as political stance, political consciousness and so on.

To tell the truth about these assessments, before Zhu Changluo crossed over and held such a high position, he would have sneered at such assessments.

And think that this kind of assessment is caused by the desire for power of those in high positions.

However, with the growing power and responsibility in his hands, Zhu Changluo did not dare to take it lightly. Zhu Changluo was always worried that his thoughts would be misinterpreted.

Therefore, gradually he also strengthened the ideological control and loyalty education of Xishan Huangzhuang.

Because, Zhu Changluo understands that such a huge empire cannot be managed by him alone.

He can go to the general manager to grasp the general direction, but it needs a lot of people to implement it in various places!
However, these people can’t be like before, as long as the scholars pass the imperial examination, the imperial court will give them official positions, and then let them act as the emperor and the imperial court’s agents to manage in various chief ministers, governments, and counties of Daming.

Because Zhu Changluo knows that this form of management may have been very advanced 1000 years ago, but after a long historical evolution such as the Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan Dynasties, this form still has loopholes.

Although the imperial examination destroyed the deformed family politics formed by Shilu Shiqing's nine-rank Zhongzheng system since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it guaranteed the supremacy of imperial power.

However, the emergence of the imperial examination also created a new interest class, that is, the vast class of scholars.

Although these scholars cannot influence the change of dynasties like the clans after the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

However, the influence of these people is more powerful than that of the elites. They almost influence the trend of public opinion in the whole world.

Whenever reformers who dare to touch their interests come to power, they will involuntarily form a group, and then attack them in groups.

Just like Wang Anshi in the Northern Song Dynasty and Zhang Juzheng in recent years.

Although they only made some internal interest reforms, their fates were surprisingly similar.

They were all attacked by scholars from all over the world at that time.

Zhang Juzheng, in particular, was almost dug into his grave.

It is conceivable that reform has never been a smooth road, it is a rugged road of struggle, and when walking this road, it must be accompanied by bloody storms!
To paraphrase a famous saying of a great man here: "Revolution is not about entertaining guests, making articles, or painting and embroidering. It cannot be so elegant, so calm, gentle, and gentle. Revolution is a riot, a violent action in which a class overthrows a class. !"

Therefore, Zhu Changluo is very aware of how difficult his future road will be.

However, no matter how difficult this road is, Zhu Changluo will still go on, because he feels that this road is an opportunity given to him by God to prove himself.

Therefore, no matter what, Zhu Changluo will be like Master Mencius said: "Where the Tao is, even if thousands of people oppose it, I will go there!"

No, with such courage, Zhu Changluo might as well just lie flat, play with women in the harem, give birth to a few children, and quietly wait for Emperor Wanli to pass away. It's over.

Back to the original topic.

Although these scholars who obtained official status through the imperial examination are known as the emperor's disciples.

However, their relationship with the Son of Heaven is always one of subordinate and superior.

Most of their loyalty to the Son of Heaven comes from their awe of the Son of Heaven and the influence of the thoughts of monarch and minister in traditional education.

To be honest, sometimes they don't care what the emperor thinks or wants to do.

He will even use the sage thoughts he has learned in turn to control the emperor's misconduct.

Therefore, these people are opposite to the emperor.

Since they are a group of opposing people, how could Zhu Changluo use them to accomplish great things?

Unless Zhu Changluo can influence and control them one day, otherwise, the more such people occupy high positions, the greater resistance Zhu Changluo will have to reform!

But, as the saying goes.

Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground!
Zhu Changluo wants to prepare for all these changes, so he has to be patient and start from the basics.

Just like the matter of dividing the fields in Ji Town this time.

As long as it was in the fields or in the streets, Zhu Changluo let people pull up flags and slogans.

On the front there are slogans such as "by the order of the crown prince of the state of Jian to transfer the army to agriculture", "by the order of the crown prince of the state of prison to divide the land with the people".

In addition to these slogans, Zhu Changluo also made people hold trumpets and beat gongs and drums every day in places where crowds gathered, singing and dancing to promote the policy of dividing land in Ji Town, so that these low-level ordinary people who can't read a few big characters can easily understand Understand Zhu Changluo's policies and benefits.

At the same time, Zhu Changluo will also take all the credit for this allocation of land under his own name, so that those who have been assigned to the field will know who gave them their blessings today.

　Chapter 2 arrives. .

　　Writing this chapter is very difficult. I always feel that I have a lot to say, but I am always afraid of saying it badly.

　　Tangled ah.
