Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 24
Everything in the Metropolitan Procuratorate was new to Chen Yunfu, but the freshness always came to an end, and Chen Yunfu became idle again.

Whoever let him stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate really has nothing serious.

Shi Pu arranged for Chen Yunfu to enter the Zhaomo Institute, which is also the archives room, the most idle and idle unit in the Procuratorate.

The daily work is simply drinking tea and reading newspapers.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a residence newspaper, but it would not be copied to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. What Chen Yunfu could read was actually piles of files that had fallen into ashes long ago.

For example, the Hu Weiyong case that caused a sensation all over Ming Dynasty!
Also called the Huaixi case.

Hu Weiyong is the spokesperson of the Huaixi Xungui Group, a banner figure. His demise is not only about his own family, but also all relatives, old officials of his disciples, and relatives of his hometown who can be killed or not.

It's a pity that the native dog in his hometown will never have the chance to enter the palace as a guard dog in this life.

There are so many files in the Hu Weiyong case, enough to fill two rooms. In addition to compiling Hu Weiyong's own crimes, more of them are the nearly 2 people involved in the case.

How to kill so many people.

Chen Yunfu's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.

In the dossier, Hu Weiyong was convicted of treason, killing nine clans, but Hu Weiyong's nine clans together only had more than 2 people. This case affected more than 2 people. It is difficult for more than [-] people to plan to murder Zhu Yuanzhang. against?

There are too many files, and there are more doubts. Anyway, Chen Yunfu can't understand it.

I don't understand and I don't bother to ask. There are only fifteen or six people in the whole Zhaomo Division.

The school inspector is also surnamed Chen, and he and Chen Yunfu probably belonged to the same family 500 years ago. Their name is Xinli, and they will be approaching their forties this year.

40 years younger, and a ninth rank, that's all in this life.

After staying in the procuratorate for more than ten days, Chen Yunfu had a basic understanding of the official position system of the Ming Dynasty, and made a simple conversion.

First-rank ministers are at the national level.

The second and third ranks are senior officials.

Fourth grade and fifth grade bureau level.

Six-rank and seven-rank county level.

Eighth grade.

Jiupin stock grade.

However, there are still some gaps.

For example, the participation of local chief envoys in politics.

Participating in politics exercised the power of deputy chief minister, but the level was only fourth grade, and some prefectures and counties were divided into upper, middle and lower levels in the early Ming Dynasty.

Those with more household registrations are the superiors, and those with few household registrations are the subordinates.

The top leaders of different levels of prefectures and counties have different tastes.

At the most disparity, two products can even be separated.

For example, in the earliest Fengyang magistrate, Zhu Yuanzhang was a crown of the fourth grade with a big wave of his hand, but in remote areas such as Guangdong and Guangxi, many prefects were only from the sixth or the seventh grade.

This is almost the gap between cities under separate state planning and county-level cities.

In addition to the disordered administrative system, the most terrible thing about Ming Dynasty is that there is no central government agency!

The so-called central government simply means that it lacks a central government similar to a cabinet.

After the case of Hu Weiyong, Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China without any hassle, which had a very serious consequence. Where should the local government affairs be reported to?
Is it the Secretary of the General Administration?

The duties of the Tongzhengshisi itself are similar to the two-in-one of the Central Office and the State Affairs Office. He does not have the power to directly approve and instruct the three-level officials of the provincial capital and county. Therefore, all local affairs must be handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang. to do it.

This led to the saying that "everything is in detail, and you know it before the emperor", which created Zhu Yuanzhang's image of working overtime as a madman.

At the busiest time, Zhu Yuanzhang had three dynasties a day, morning, noon, and evening. After the three dynasties were over, Zhu Yuanzhang had to deal with memorials from all over the country.

Involved in political, military, criminal and other fields.

Going up to a province for disaster relief and reducing taxes, or going down to a county to have a hugely influential murder case, Zhu Yuanzhang has to personally approve and even issue an edict.

The files of these cases are all kept in Zhaomosi, and Chen Yunfu has found more than ten cases by himself.

Lao Zhu is also tired enough.

Therefore, there was the initial prototype of the cabinet.

In the 15th year of Hongwu, that is, the last year when Chen Yunfu traveled to Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to establish a palace scholar.

And Shao Zhi, who recommended Chen Yunfu to the Metropolitan Procuratorate before, was the first batch of bachelors in the Hongwu Dynasty.

Last year, Shao Zhi was a Bachelor of Huagai Temple, Song Na, a scholar of Imperial Academy, was a Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, Wu Bozong, a reviewer in front of the palace, was a Bachelor of Wuying Temple, and Wu Chen, a scholar of classics, was a Bachelor of Dongge.

However, the so-called great scholars at this time have not reached the point where they have power and assist the country as in the Xuande Dynasty. They only exist as Zhu Yuanzhang's secretary.

The Pin Yi of the Grand Scholars is only the fifth rank.

These great scholars are low in character and have no real power. They sound like Chen Yunfu, who are the little officials around Zhu Yuanzhang.

Help Lao Zhu to look at the memorials from various places, and highlight the important parts with pen and ink, so that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't have to bother to read long and endless nonsense.

Who let the local officials write too much nonsense to the emperor.

Before the [-]-word business, at least write a [-]-word greeting, and a [-]-word flattery, without repeating the same, how capable.

"If I were the emperor, I would have to dismiss all these nonsense writers."

Chen Yunfu pursed his lips, thinking so.

Write tens of thousands of words in a question book?It's still written in traditional characters with a brush, it's a lot of effort.

He, Chen Yunfu, wrote novels with the keyboard in his hands, and he could write tens of thousands of codes in a day.

"Boom~ Shen Zheng, a moment!"

The sound of announcing the alarm sounded outside the window, and Chen Yunfu waved away the wild thoughts in his mind, and began to pack up the files in front of him.

Get off work on time.

"Chen inspector, the officials will leave."

Walking to the position directly opposite the door, Chen Yunfu bid farewell to the procurator Chen Xinli, but was stopped by the latter.

"Yunfu wait a minute."

While talking, Chen Xinli stood up, and invited with a smile on his face: "I'm hosting a banquet tonight, how about we have a light meal together with Zhao Mosi?"

Is this considered unit building?

Chen Yunfu blinked, but he couldn't refuse, so he bowed in response.

"The labor inspection school has spent money, and the officials obeyed."

Doesn't matter if he is a team builder or not, anyway, I have no money, so don't expect me to pay for the annual salary of 20 taels a year.
