Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 212 212 Let’s fight quickly
"My house has been ransacked. If I'm looking for any clues, just look for dirty money and other physical evidence!"

Wang Buli glanced at Zhu Biao: "I don't think His Majesty is looking for clues at all. The prince may have thought in the wrong direction."

"Forehead."

Zhu Biao also glanced at Wang Buli with confusion in his eyes. You have a reputation of being an expert in solving cases. Why are you looking for dirty money instead of clues?

“The evidence is in the dirty money.”

"Oh!"

Zhu Biao suddenly realized that his thinking had reached a dead end, and he felt that he should peel off the cocoon and solve the case like Wang Buli did before.

Qian Tang and others were speechless.

"My father is very angry that Zhao Xingsheng and other old soldiers are so crazy about amassing money. I guess I will send people to various inspection departments to investigate secretly."

Wang Buli didn't have any good solutions for Zhao Xingsheng's refusal to admit corruption, which meant that they were all in single-line contact.

Otherwise, how could he protect Liu Youjiang just by relying on Zhao Xingsheng alone.

Zhu Biao was still thinking about why after the establishment of the new dynasty, many people who gained power began to put money into their own pockets.

After we get married, we will move in together. "

Hu Weiyong listened to Tu Jie's report and said that he had just seen His Majesty whipping a soldier, and he heard that his name was Zhao Xingsheng.

"His Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhao Xingsheng who was groaning at the side.

Whether these people can survive is still a question.

But Wang Buli can be sure that there must be someone above Zhao Xingsheng.

After searching a lot of stuff, I didn't see much money.

Mao Xiang had no choice but to go back to the palace to report that Zhao Xingsheng's family did not have much dirty money and needed to check again.

"I don't know. You have to ask Wang Buli about this." Tu Jie didn't know about this little pawn:

Now the criminal is insisting that he refuses to admit it. In short, I have no problem.

Hu Weiyong stood up immediately.

How did Zhao Xingsheng become enmity with Wang Buli? He had to find trouble with him.

"I've been busy recently. I went to see the newly built princess mansion. It's in good repair. If you're not satisfied, we'll fix it when the time comes.

Wang Buli ruffled her hair and said with a smile:

But the problem is that there is no confirmation before and after, and even the dirty money cannot be found.

Hu Weiyong has begun to consider how to draw a clear line with Zhao Xingsheng, but he doesn't know if His Majesty will believe it.

There are so many people in the county government, and there are always people who can't resist the temptation and say something driven by money.

It sounds like a method of fighting for favor over and over again. Even Lao Zhu, a strong workaholic, still has a lot of demand for women, not to mention learning new postures while observing his son-in-law's sports in the fairyland.

Zhao Xingsheng was not afraid that someone would search his home. All his salary and salary were given to his family. He also spent all the filial piety Liu Youjiang gave him in addition to using it to honor others.

Mao Xiang's search was very thorough, and he directly controlled all the wives, children, and children of Zhao Xingsheng's family, and turned them upside down.

"Wang Buli first went to the Ministry of War, and then Lin Shangshu went to find His Majesty. Your Majesty sent someone to arrest Zhao Xingsheng."

"Ah."

"Wang Lang, you haven't come to see me in the palace for a long time."

Hu Weiyong couldn't figure it out.

The youthful atmosphere of a girl is so joyful!

Wang Buli looked at Zhu Mingxiu wearing a pink skirt with the dimples on her face. She ran up the steps and stood in front of him, panting slightly:

"But do you want to know what happened?" After Hu Weiyong stabilized his mind, he continued to question.

He was caught despite having a single line of contact.

He looked slightly flustered.

Hu Weiyong nodded slightly.

what happened?

Lin Rong, Minister of the Ministry of War, put aside the account book. This account book was made by Liu Youjiang.

So he stood up and said, "Prime Minister Hu, I'm going to send someone to the county government office to find out what's going on."

This was just after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Biao remembered that after his descendants became emperors, they did many things that were not part of their job. The civil servants and generals below did not know how much money belonging to the court they had to embezzle!

Tu Jie is a smart man. He saw that Hu Xiang seemed a little too anxious when the name Zhao Xingsheng was mentioned.

Zhao Xingsheng's wife and children kept crying, and Mao Xiang showed no sympathy at all.

The main focus is on instant gratification. Only by climbing up can I have more opportunities to make money.

A red cloud flew over Zhu Mingxiu's face, he lowered his head slightly, and nodded again.

The two walked side by side, Zhu Mingxiu chattering about things in the palace.

If you admit it, the whole family is done playing!

But Zhu Yuanzhang could not reveal the fact that Zhao Xingsheng entered Qinhuai to spend money, otherwise how would the money of these corrupt officials flow into his hands in the future?

Others don't know it, but since Zhu Yuanzhang discovered the counterfeit banknote case, he began to ask people to record the people who enter Ye Qinhuai for consumption every day, so that if something happens in the future, he can arrest people.

"Take him down and give him a good trial. Don't let him die, and don't do anything to others."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, and Mao Xiang quickly sent someone to take Zhao Xingsheng away.

Then he picked up another memorial and continued to read it. It was sent by Li Wenzhong, the principal of the Imperial College. At present, the atmosphere of the Imperial College has been greatly changed.

In order to consolidate and maintain imperial power, Zhu Yuanzhang had two weapons in his hands, one was the army and the other was the bureaucracy.

Suppression by force.

Official documents rule.

Otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would not spend a lot of time processing official documents every day.

Lao Zhu climbed from the position of a soldier to the position of emperor by relying on force. After so many years, he has a strong control over the army.

But the weapon in the other hand seems weaker.

That is, the number of officials needed from the imperial court to the local level is not small. The total number of bureaucrats at all levels is less than 100,000.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who started from scratch, had nowhere to find more than 100,000 loyal and capable scholars!

The old officials of the Yuan Dynasty had fought for so many years, and not many survived. A group of people who knew how to handle things had surrendered to Lao Zhu early.

Most of the rest are corrupt officials, either old and dim, or they moved north to the desert with the favor of the old country.

There are also those who are afraid of Lao Zhu's revenge, such as Luo Guanzhong, who hide their names and hide in the world.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang put a lot of effort into gathering this team, the number was still far from enough.

Zhu Yuanzhang began to look for officials in the Yuan Dynasty again, because the Yuan Dynasty was governed by officials, and even the ruling ministers were appointed by people who were officials, which created a very bad atmosphere.

In particular, there are more and more laws and regulations, which are more and more detailed. Most people cannot handle them or even understand them. This makes it easier for officials to cheat, and the rule of officials replaces the rule of officials, or even replaces the rule of the king. This is absolutely impossible. unable.

Another way is to use scholars who have never been officials. Scholars want to be officials, but they also have concerns. The Ming Dynasty's regime is not stable. It has not been unified internally. Mongolia in the north has maintained a lot of power externally. They are worried that this new regime will be destroyed. .

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, all the high-ranking official positions were occupied by "Huai people", leaving only a few small official positions for them.

In addition, Lao Zhu has high standards and strict requirements for officials. Once he is found guilty, he will either kill his clan or do things in shackles, which scares away many people.

The last option is to appoint landowners as local officials.

However, there were still not enough people, and the things these people did as officials were very inconsistent with the needs of Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, so after the Kongyin case, a group of people were killed to strengthen the central government's rule over the local areas.

Lao Zhu had extremely high requirements for officials, so he recruited a large number of students from the Imperial College to serve as a reserve for new bureaucrats.

In order to prevent the phenomenon of recognizing the teacher rather than the emperor, all the teachers in the Imperial College from top to bottom were court officials, and even the principals were appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Li Wenzhong was not qualified to personally hire teachers to teach in the Imperial College.

Since the establishment of the Imperial College, there have been two main sources of students: official students and people's students.

Official students were divided into two types. The most noble ones were the children of officials, and the other class were the children of foreigners (Southwestern chieftains, Japanese, Ryukyu, and Siamese), who were personally appointed by the emperor. People's livelihood means that local officials from various places recommend students from prefectures and counties.

One hundred and fifty people are from official positions, and fifty people are from civilians.

The purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the Imperial Academy was to train officials and students on how to implement rule.

Because in his policy, whatever your father does, you do.

However, with the continuous expansion of enrollment, people's livelihood accounts for an increasing proportion.

After all the four major Hongwu cases were completed, of the more than 8,000 students in the Imperial College, only four were official students, and the rest were all students recommended by local officials in accordance with the law.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no objection to Wang Buli deceiving a large number of people to go to the north for training. These people were more motivated to go on their own initiative than to be sent by the officials.

Nowadays, not many people are willing to go to that bitter and cold place in the north.

Zhu Yuanzhang initially only asked the Imperial College to educate students in the Four Books and Five Classics, because the way out for these students was to become officials.

The Confucian classics of the Four Books and Five Classics are all in it, and the principles of governing a country and bringing peace to the world are all in it. Some of Confucius' thoughts were very fond of by Zhu.

Especially the one about respecting the king and rectifying his name, the king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, the son, is the most in line with his taste.

As for some of Mencius' words, Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others were not allowed to read them.

Now that the atmosphere in the Imperial College has changed, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to let these students continue to study the Ming Dynasty law.

Only in this way can they reduce the chance of committing crimes. Just like Wang Buli, they are familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty and do things very appropriately.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote again and asked the teachers from the Imperial College to teach the latest version of the Ming Dynasty Code.

Then he began to think of ways to increase the prison regulations of the Imperial College.

All meals are provided at public expense.

If a family member is allowed to take their family members to school, they will receive an additional six bushels of food per month.

Supervisors and teachers must ask for permission from Lao Zhu before asking for leave or going home.

Lao Zhu was actually very dissatisfied with Wang Buli's approach of breaking up the class and getting it back together for training.

Because in the prison regulations formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, the prison students are prohibited from uniting and organizing!
Even communication between classes is prohibited.

This is to prevent them from forming a party early in the Imperial College!
These people are all "supervisor students".

Both Tian Wenjing and Tian Wenjing of the Qing Dynasty were born as supervisors, so why should they show off their power in the Ming Dynasty?

But these officials who were born as supervisors were really easy to show off their power in the Hongwu Dynasty.

From the highest-ranking local second-rank officials to the envoys and envoys, there are no rank-level teachings and no official duties.

In addition to becoming officials after graduation, supervisors at the school can also be ordered to go on missions to inspect various places, inspect the cases of officials, go to local areas to build water conservancy projects, perform tasks such as measuring and recording land area, and fixing grain, and go to various yamen for internships .

In addition, because of the major cases created by Zhu Yuanzhang, which implicated tens of thousands of people, many official positions were vacant. Zhu Yuanzhang vigorously promoted these supervisors, which effectively supplemented the normal operation of the bureaucracy.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang resumed the imperial examination, the good days of the supervisory students began to go downhill.

To become an official, one must come from the Jinshi department, and many supervisory students also take part in the imperial examination.

Gradually, the Imperial College lost its exclusive position in cultivating bureaucrats, and the Jinshi began to seize the jobs that originally belonged to the Imperial College students, and it became easier for them to form a group.

The status of Jinshi became more and more important, and the status of Supervisor was less and less visible on the stage, so he was forced to work as an official at the grassroots level and in various yamen.

Zhu Yuanzhang again remembered that Wang Buli wanted to set up a school in Yong'an Village, where both boys and girls could go to study. With a stroke of his pen, he decided to issue an edict to set up "social studies" - rural primary schools in the local area.

The main task is to let them learn the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty so that they can perform their duties better.

Zhu Yuanzhang has made up his mind that he must do more things before the treasure banknotes become worthless as they will in later generations.

After writing a poem, Zhu Yuanzhang called the eunuch Kang Changmin to hand the memorial to Wang Buli.

By the way, I sent him the newly engraved bronze medal of the Prince Consort and asked him to read the memorial and discuss it with Li Wenzhong. What do you think of my idea?
Kang Changmin hurriedly walked toward the Ministry of Works with the tray in his hands. He was seen by many people along the way and did not dare to ask questions.

When he arrived at the office of the Minister of Industry, Kang Changmin found that the consort was not here, and he quickly asked in surprise: "Your Highness, where is the consort?"

"Father, does he have something to do with him?"

Zhu Biao didn't understand very well. His father didn't want to meet Wang Buli immediately, so why did he still look for him?

"Well, Your Majesty asked the Prince Consort and Duke Cao to take a closer look at this memorial to see if there are any modifications. He also gave this badge to the Prince Consort."

Zhu Biao nodded and urged the people waiting around him to call Wang Buli back. Of course, the love between children is not as important as national affairs.

Besides, the two of them are about to get married, so there is no need to stay together forever.

So when Wang Buli was called back, his face was a little unhappy.

Wang Buli took the bronze waist plate, which was about ten centimeters wide and twelve centimeters high. He weighed it and returned his temporary wooden sign.

Listening to the words of Prince Zhu Biao, Wang Buli opened the memorial of Zhu Yuanzhang's feedback and glanced at it from beginning to end. He felt very contemptuous of Lao Zhu's rules that were so inhumane.

However, he still agrees with his suggestion that people in the Imperial College learn the Ming Dynasty Law and set up rural primary schools to learn the Ming Dynasty Law.

After people from the Imperial College become officials, they usually have to do a lot of work. Learning the Ming Dynasty can at least reduce the frequency of making mistakes, so as to avoid being tricked by those under them.

Even as a supervisor, Wang Buli felt that he was very unqualified.

This is also the main reason for studying the Four Books and Five Classics. At least this group of people will make progress in the future. Lao Zhu asked them to start studying the Ming Dynasty law collectively.

"Why are you always frowning?"

"The rules are too strict." Wang Buli pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and emphasized:
"Even students can't be trained to study hard. It's just that the classes can't interact with each other in class. Why can't they interact with each other after class?

We have been studying together in school for two or three years, but when we leave school, we are all strangers. How can this be possible? "

In ancient China, in the final analysis, it was a human society, and everyone had relationships.

As a result, you, Lao Zhu, did not allow the supervisors to have connections, but those Jinshis all had connections, and in the end it became a small circle of Jinshis who had the right to speak in the court.

"If a person does not communicate with strangers for three years, when he becomes an official, he will have to communicate with thousands of strangers. If he does not practice in the Imperial College, how can he do it?"

Zhu Biao nodded. This is the truth. How can we do it without communication?

"And this one, anyone who dares to insult the teacher will be punished with a hundred sticks and will be sent to Guangxi."

Wang Buli chuckled: "The meaning of insulting a teacher is very broad, whether it is disagreement in language, writing, actions, or even criticism, it can be interpreted arbitrarily.

As for reporting troubles, they can be used at will. Anyone who does not comply with prison regulations, is dissatisfied with the current situation, or students who demand improvements in teaching and life can use this provision to make a one-sided judgment.

This is simply unreasonable. "

In Zhu Biao's view, since he is a teacher, he has the right to severely punish students.

"Brother-in-law, aren't you too kind-hearted?"

Zhu Biao looked at Wang Buli and said softly: "If jade is not polished, it will not become a tool. If a person does not learn, he will not know justice. If the master is stricter, it will be easier to produce a good disciple."

"I bother."

Xue Xiang wanted to stand up. An honest man like him was really surprised that Wang Buli had so many bad habits in communicating with the prince.

He was afraid that he would eventually get involved.

On the contrary, Qian Tang, the Minister of Punishment, looked like he was having fun. It would be best to start a fight so that it would be more lively.

It can also be regarded as bringing some after-tea talk to the boring work.

Wang Buli chuckled: "Brother Prince, you have to know that most people in the world are ordinary people. How many capable people can be produced in the entire Ming Dynasty?
Why should you use the standards of saints to strictly demand ordinary people?
Even if it is a person like His Majesty, I can only find Liu Bang and Liu Bei who have similar experiences.

If an official only knows how to drop his book bag and does not even know how to communicate with others, that will be the tragedy of the people he governs, and will only make his officials behave even more recklessly. "

"Okay, okay." Qian Tang nodded repeatedly: "The Prince Consort is right. Your Highness, what do you think?"

Zhu Biao didn't hear the mention of Qian Tang, the Minister of Punishment, and just nodded slightly and said:

"Brother-in-law, you were secretly changing your reasons just now. My master is strict with his students in order to help him become more talented!"

"Consort, what the Crown Prince said makes sense." Qian Tang looked at Wang Buli again and encouraged him to refute Zhu Biao.

"Brother Prince, are you sure that Master's strict teaching is definitely right?"

"People can not escape from doing wrong?"

"Brother Prince." Wang Buli pointed to the paragraph in the memorial: "A person is not a sage, and no one can do anything wrong. Take a good look at this paragraph, and then tell me this sentence."
