The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart.

There is no doubt about this.

Sun Jie also knew very well in his heart that it is very difficult for people to maintain integrity forever.

If the number of people is small, it may be able to be restrained. If there are a pair of people, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

The night outside the window was dark, and Sun Jie only hoped that there would not be too many people involved behind it.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the society was quite clear, but there were still many corrupt officials.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's knife was almost curled, so he killed those signs.

But not too many years later, these people made a comeback, aggressive.

Corrupt officials are always a difficult thing to solve.

Sun Jie also does not believe that there is any system that can solve the problem of corrupt officials once and for all.

In fact, Sun Jie never had such an idea.

As long as the political situation is stable and the society is peaceful, it is already very good.

But then again, if you let this matter go, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress the greed of these people.

Where are you now?
In the future, the territory will become bigger and bigger. If these things cannot be dealt with in advance, it will only bring greater greed and disaster.

Hangzhou Mansion, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong moved here to avoid the chaos of the Jin soldiers, and named it Lin'an.

After Zhu Yuanzhang took over the world, he changed his name to Hangzhou Mansion.

This is a place with beautiful scenery, countless cultural and historic sites, a flourishing style of writing, and a large number of talented people.

After Sun Jie took Jiangnan, he followed the modern system and changed the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang Province to Zhejiang Province, the provincial capital Hangzhou, and the administrative seat in Hangzhou.

The chief official of Zhejiang is the governor, who is in charge of the people's livelihood in Zhejiang province.

A town governor was also set up to manage officials in Hangzhou.

The two official positions intersect each other and manage each other.

The specific framework is almost the same as the modern one.

The modern management framework is, after all, the summarization of the wisdom of thousands of years. Sun Jie naturally wants to use these advanced things.

Generally speaking, the two official positions of governor and town governor are held by two people.

But now there is a shortage of manpower, and many places have not yet been completely pacified, so the governor and town governor of Zhejiang are served by one person.

This man is called Cui Xinghe, from Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province. During the Jiajing period, there were Juren and scholars in his family. In the Wanli period, the family was in decline. By the time of his generation, there were only two earthen houses left in his family.

But he was extremely eager to learn. After Sun Jie took charge of Shaanxi, he was admitted to the university with excellent grades.

Belonging to the first batch of college students, he was highly valued by Sun Jie at that time.

He has good academic performance and outstanding ability, which quickly attracted Sun Jie's attention, and at the same time he focused on training.

This person is also related to Sun Jie by marriage. The brother of Sun Jie's father-in-law, Sun Chuwen, married his daughter to him.

He is very capable. After graduation, he asked Sun Jie for orders and went to Nuer Gandusi, saying that he would govern this place with blood.

Sun Jie was also so happy and transferred him over.

Nuer Gandusi is not a good place. It is difficult to live in Liaodong under the Little Ice River, let alone Nuer Gandusi, which is further north than Liaodong.

When it came to Nuer Gandusi, Cui Xinghe had to personally intervene no matter what happened, and even led his troops to the deep mountains to recruit wild people in the mountains.

During the year when Nuergandusi was in power, he made great contributions.

At the same time, Nuergan City was rebuilt.

In the local people won the hearts of the people, highly respected.

Later, he was transferred to Henan by Sun Jie, where he practiced in the Central Plains for half a year, and then came to Zhejiang.

Sun Jae takes him very seriously.

Zhejiang is the place where Sun Jie will focus on development in the future, and it is very important for Daqin.

Because of his outstanding ability, this place was handed over to him, and he was appointed as the governor and governor at the same time.

According to the path arranged by Sun Jie, in the future, he will be in charge of overseas affairs and guard the local area.

The world is pre-determined, and those who guard the place must be absolutely loyal and have outstanding abilities.

Cui Xinghe is the first college student, and he is also related to Sun Jie by marriage.

It stands to reason that such a person is absolutely fine.

But people change.

Wang Jingwei was still a hot-blooded youth back then, and he became a traitor in the end.

The wind and snow in Nuer Gandusi failed to wear away his steel bones, but this gentle town in the south of the Yangtze River made his bones crisp.

There is a house by the West Lake in Hangzhou. Next to the house is a small cement building, seven or eight stories high, named "Zhaixing".

Standing on the top of the Zhaixing Building, you can overlook the entire lake.

It is a good place to drink and have fun with beautiful scenery.

Cui Xinghe stood by the railing, looking at the scene in front of him with a smile.

A fat gentry stood behind him, and said with a smile, "My lord, how is it here? Chang'an, do you have this scene?!"

Cui Xinghe turned around, looked at him, and said, "Where did Chang'an have such a scene? The northwestern land is full of gold and iron horses, how can there be gentleness in the south of the Yangtze River?"

There were a few stools upstairs, and Cui Xinghe sat down.

The fat gentleman stood in front of him, pointed to the West Lake in front of him, and said: "Emperor Gaozong used to enjoy the scenery by the West Lake. It is very prosperous here, and the seasons are like spring. Although I have never been to the north, I can still think of it. Chang'an Compared with this place, it is much worse. I heard that His Majesty plans to move the capital to Jinling recently?"

The fat gentry's name was Wang Yongchun, originally an evil gentry from Zhejiang, his family was engaged in a smuggling business, the scale was very large, his family was wealthy, and he had thousands of servants.

According to the rules set by Sun Jie before, people like Wang Yongchun would not be able to survive now.

But when Cui Xinghe arrived in Zhejiang, Wang Yongchun came to him and spent a lot of money to save his family's life.

Under Cui Xinghe's protection, he transformed himself into an army gentry, and even won a military medal.

Of course someone reported it, but how could this kind of thing get to Chang'an?

They were all suppressed by Cui Xinghe.

That Wu Zhirong was connected with Cui Xinghe.

After half his life's money, he gave it all to Cui Xinghe, and only then did he get a county magistrate.

It is precisely because the family property is gone that he will blackmail the dealer.

After all, the dealer is in Wucheng County, but he has a name and a surname.

Cui Xinghe is no longer the Cui Xinghe he was back then, with many wrinkles on his face and a lot of thoughts in his heart.

No one else knew what was going on in his mind except him.

Cui Xinghe, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Wang Yongchun with a smile, and said, "Where did you get the news? Why don't I know?"

How could Wang Yongchun not understand what Cui Xinghe meant?
Quietly, she took out the deposit check of Daqin Bank from her sleeve.

"Master Cui devoted himself to Zhejiang and suffered a lot for such a long time. Please accept it and buy some tea!" Wang Yongchun stuffed the deposit ticket into Cui Xinghe's sleeve with a smile.

Cui Xinghe frowned slightly, and said calmly, "Who do you think I am? Corrupt officials?"

The voice was a little louder, which made Wang Yongchun's heart tremble.

Thinking that he had given less, he hurriedly took out a deposit ticket from his pocket.

When I was about to hand it over, I suddenly thought of the past.

With the advancement of Sun Jie's troops, various institutions were also established in various places.

In today's Hangzhou, Daqin Bank is also located there.

It's not just for issuing silver coins or exchanging silver.

The salaries of local officials, or public officials, are all issued by the bank.

At the same time, each official can only have one account in the bank and is under the supervision of Daqin Bank.

Ordinary people or businessmen, deposit money in the bank, there are two ways of passbook and deposit check.

The use of passbooks is similar to that of modern times, and it is basically used by ordinary people.

The deposit check was actually created by Sun Jie, which is similar to a bank note for the convenience of merchants.

When the time is right in the future, paper currency will be issued based on this.

After the money is deposited in the bank, how much deposit will be given, how much deposit certificate will be given.

When buying and selling bulk goods, because a large amount of silver dollars is inconvenient to carry, they can be traded through deposit checks.

There is one biggest difference between a deposit ticket and a passbook, that is, the person who recognizes the ticket does not recognize the person.

However, on the deposit ticket, there will be anti-counterfeiting marks and numbers that have been specially calculated and coded.

The bank will not pay too much attention to small-value deposits. If it is a large-value deposit, the bank will sort it out and send it to the head office at the same time.

The head office will conduct statistics and verify based on the large deposit certificates sent back by banks in various places.

At that time, it will be clear who is the owner of this deposit ticket, as well as the last owner.

It's actually useless for a large deposit to enter Cui Xinghe's hands.

The denomination is too large, and it is impossible to spend on ordinary expenses. If you go to the bank to exchange it, it will be easy to be discovered.

Therefore, Cui Xinghe usually accepts bribes in cash or in kind.

Wang Yongchun changed his mind and quickly figured out these things.

"My lord, please forgive me for not thinking carefully."

Wang Yongchun took back the two deposit slips.

He continued: "Your Majesty, I have hundreds of acres of land outside the city, and a few houses by the West Lake."

Cui Xinghe smiled:
"You, you, it's always like this! Okay, don't talk about it, if you have anything, just tell it, I know, of course I will tell you!"

Seeing Cui Xinghe like this, Wang Yongchun finally calmed down.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to know how His Majesty arranges Jinling City now. I still have a few houses in the inner city of Jinling, and some properties in the outer city.

By the way, I have a nephew who is currently studying a new school, but I don't know how to enter the university. I heard that it is difficult to enter the university. "Wang Yongchun said.

Cui Xinghe frowned, but quickly relaxed it.

"Your Majesty's arrangement for Jinling City, I really don't know about it. If you are studying at Daqin University, I still have a clue.

Before, His Majesty set a rule, because the education levels in different places are different, and the time for receiving new education is different, so each province will be given a few places for direct reading.

Zhejiang is a place where the style of writing flourishes. Even if the new students are accepted late, I believe that they will definitely be admitted to the university! "

Cui Xinghe said.

The purpose is self-evident.

Wang Yongchun went on to say: "My property in Jinling was all thanks to my lord before, so it was able to be preserved."

"Let your nephew come over in a few days, and I'll see how it goes. If it works, I'll recommend it. After all, you have to be serious about selecting talents for the country."

As the night was dark, Cui Xinghe returned to the yamen.

Sitting in the study, drinking wine non-stop.

Although he received so many bribes today, he didn't feel any joy in his heart.

The depression in my heart is far from being able to make up for it with money.

After drinking for three rounds, he was drunk and talking nonsense in the study:

"Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng? Hehe, they are just former Ming courtiers, why are they in high positions? Even Song Yingxing, who is nothing, can hold high positions. I was born in a dignified class. I was sent to the frontier first, and then went to the The poor Central Plains, and now come here again? It's not fair, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"

Cui Xinghe has a very high starting point for the so-called "don't worry about scarcity but inequality, and don't worry about poverty but anxiety".

The first batch of college students, the first batch of college graduates, disciples of the emperor, and Sun Jie's brother-in-law.

The ability is strong, and the ability is not bad.

He did a lot of things back and forth, and proved his ability.

But in the end, he failed to achieve his goal.

I thought I would enter the imperial court and work in the central government, but Sun Jie put him in Zhejiang again.

Speaking of it, Zhejiang is a rich and prosperous place in the world, but how can it compare with the imperial court?
Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, counting, are only surrenders of the former Ming Dynasty.

In the past dynasties, how can there be any ministers who have achieved the position of prime minister?

It's fine if it's just a mascot, but both the Civil and Military Senate are real power departments.

You know, the earliest people who followed Sun Jie were not the two of them, but Qin Shang.

Cui Xinghe can be regarded as half a Qin businessman, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.

Although most of the departments are held by Qin people, the two most important positions are held by two outsiders. After a long time, there will inevitably be gaps.

In fact, Cui Xinghe didn't have much resentment in his heart.

He always believed that as the first student of Daqin University, even if he couldn't enter the center now, he could enter in the future.

But before he came to Zhejiang, Sun Jie's words completely crucified his future.

When Sun Jie summoned him, he asked Sun Jie about his arrangements.

Sun Jie didn't say it clearly, but what he revealed made him understand that he might not be able to enter the center in this life.

From Sun Jie's words, he could hear that Sun Jie's arrangement for him was to guard overseas.

This is equivalent to giving him a death sentence.

He is a very utilitarian person, from studying to going to Nuergandusi.

All efforts are to enter the center.

Now, all these efforts have come to naught, the meaning of the efforts has disappeared without a trace, and people have become depressed.

He was actually angry.

In his opinion, a person as good as himself should enter the center and govern the country, instead of guarding wild places overseas.

Guarding overseas is exile in disguise.

Over the years, people who have gone overseas are basically those who have been demoted.

As soon as he came and went, something went wrong in his heart.

Once people's hearts are unstable, they will not be able to resist the invasion of evil spirits.

At the beginning, he could bear it, but after a long time, he sank.

From the time he accepted the first payment, he was completely in trouble.

Later, the restaurant was broken directly.

Anyway, I want to go out. How can the mainland be better than the wild land overseas?

It's better to grab some as soon as possible, go there and enjoy it.

In such a heart, he fell into the abyss.
