Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 520 Recruitment (1)

Due to the influence of geographical restrictions, the war turmoil in Liaodong has not caused any major turmoil in Daming territory for the time being.

With the momentum of suppressing the rebellion by the bandits and the rebellion by building captives, it gradually became clear, which also made the order of the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty less chaotic than before.

Even the development under the rule of Shanxi has gradually improved, which is very gratifying and emotional for Emperor Chongzhen.

Wenhua Hall.

"I'm setting up the Wenhua Palace today to summon the ministers. There is a political matter to discuss." Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, looked at Han Yu and Bi Ziyan, and said with a serious expression: "Now the climate is getting worse and worse. It's cold, and it's only a few months away from Zhengdan, and the time for busy farming and autumn harvest has passed.

Previously, Lu Xiangsheng, governor of Zhili, and Chen Yansheng, prefect of Tianjin, had submitted to me a memorial to rebuild the Chidao Road in Zhili, and I agreed with that.

The local government raises a batch and allocates a batch of internal funds. This matter has been gradually implemented, and the corresponding construction has achieved good results. "

The cabinet ministers Han Yu, Wen Tiren, Bi Ziyan, Xu Guangqi, and Zhou Yanru all showed different expressions, obviously thinking about what the emperor said.

For Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Zhili, and the group of civil servants in the court, there are good things and bad things. After all, Lu Xiangsheng has done a lot of things since he took office. He even worked with Han Jisi to clean up a group of local corrupt officials. This caused strong dissatisfaction among many groups.

Under the supervision of Lu Xiangsheng, the officialdom atmosphere under the rule of Beizhili was gradually reversed. Even the local gentry, landlords and other groups did not dare to openly violate the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations.

Before Lu Xiangsheng became the governor of Zhili, the prefectures and counties under the rule of Beizhili were doing all kinds of things, such as corrupting the law, exploiting the people, annexing land, etc., without any scruples.

Although Beizhili is right in front of Da Mingzi, if the local government doesn't want to cause some bad things to come to the capital, there are still many ways to do it.

But it was precisely after the Zhili governor was established independently, especially the establishment of the Zhili Disaster Relief Office, which gradually penetrated into the administration of various prefectures and counties, the situation reversed.

Local officials dare not be negligent in their administration.

Gentlemen dare not be unscrupulous.

The students and scholars under the jurisdiction of the Zhili Disaster Relief Office are all young and vigorous. If they know anything illegal, they will report it to the Zhili governor's office in time.

Who can bear this.

"I think this is a good opportunity."

Seeing everyone's reactions, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "In the name of the Disaster Relief Office, I want to issue a decree to the administrative offices in Shanxi, Zhili, and Shandong.

Ordered the disaster relief agencies in the three places, and began to rectify water conservancy, widen rivers, build reservoirs, and renovate roads under the rule.

Through these rising constructions, workers are recruited in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction to absorb the refugee groups under the rule, and the registration is gradually completed.

For the refugees who have completed the registration, the governors of the three places, under the administration of the prefectures and counties, can allocate some official land for resettlement based on the exploration opinions of the Disaster Relief Administration, so that they have a place to stay. "

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely impossible."

Hearing this, Han Yu hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "If you really do this, it will undoubtedly drag down the national treasury, after all, no one knows how many refugees there are in the above three places.

Even if the nearby chief envoys knew about the recruitment situation, would they flock to the above three places in large numbers?

Moreover, there are countless official lands in various places. If they are used to resettle refugees, the loss will be the taxation of the treasury. "

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, he could somewhat guess Han Yu's excited reaction.

It's nothing more than not wanting to pay for money, which is the main thing.

The second is that this incident has caused too much noise.

Furthermore, if this is really done, I am afraid that the background of the Disaster Relief Administration will become stronger and stronger. By then, all parts of Ming Dynasty will gradually clarify this system.

Regarding the special establishment of the Disaster Relief Office and the separation of local administrative offices, in fact, many civil officials in the DPRK and China opposed and criticized it, especially the household department.

The disaster relief system built by Emperor Chongzhen, a group of officials under his jurisdiction are all young students and scholars who have always hated each other. They extremely hate such corruption and breaking the law.

Previously, there was a disaster in the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court was required to allocate food and salaries to ensure local disaster relief. Originally, the Ministry of Households was directly responsible for this, but there was a lot of oil and water in it.

And these batches of disaster relief food and salaries are transferred from the capital to the local areas, and they will also experience layers of exploitation. After they actually arrive in the disaster-affected area, [-] to [-]% can be used for disaster relief, which is considered a high incense.

But now there is a disaster relief office in the court and a disaster relief agency in the local area, which has achieved a seamless connection, so that many people can't get involved, which will undoubtedly cut off many people's money.

Bi Ziyan is a true Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and can ensure his own integrity, but there are so many clean officials under the Ministry of Household Affairs, and there are so many officials under its jurisdiction, and how many of them want to make money, it is impossible to check.

"According to Han Qing's point of view, can I understand that all the bankrupt refugees under the rule of Ming Dynasty are not the people of Ming Dynasty?"

Emperor Chongzhen stared at Han Yu with cold eyes and said, "If that's the case, why don't the cabinet draw up the bills and submit them to the Military Aircraft Department, let them draw up the bills, mobilize our troops from all over the Ming Dynasty, and treat the refugees from all over the place as exiles? The thieves have been wiped out? Wouldn't it be easier?"

Han Yu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I absolutely have no such intention."

Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the refugee group was affected by multiple factors such as the three major salary assessments, the collapse of the guard system, exorbitant taxes, land annexation, and disasters. It can be said that it is increasing year by year. Once the rebellion is suppressed, bandit rebellions will break out in other places in Ming Dynasty.

"Since there is no such intention, then find a way to solve it."

Emperor Chongzhen said resolutely: "The cabinet is there to share my worries, not to ask me questions. If you can't even solve this matter, then what do you want the cabinet for?
Just dismiss them all.

Furthermore, when discussing this matter, have I ever said that the national treasury will be fully paid out?What did I tell you when I founded the Disaster Relief Office? "

At this time, the Wenhua Palace fell into silence.

In general, Han Yu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is still qualified. At least after Emperor Chongzhen mixed sand in the cabinet, he did help him share a lot of pressure.

Become a standoff in the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power.

But Han Yu, sometimes his political thinking is a bit solidified, and his mind is full of the small peasant economic routine. If Daming continues to follow this routine, even if he can eradicate some bad governance, it will not be able to solve practical problems.
