I'm a big dick

Chapter 298 Reporting and reporting, there is a side called Yuan Chonghuan

It may be easier to start the reform from the top down.But to implement it in place and implement it in place, the grassroots is also an extremely critical factor.

Otherwise, a lot of policies will be launched, which seem to be drastic, but there will be no real effect at all.What's more, if a monk with a crooked mouth recites scriptures, a good policy will change beyond recognition.

In ancient times when there was no Internet, no computers, no mobile phones, and underdeveloped information and communication, it was obviously far from enough to rely on the Metropolitan Procuratorate to "correct and impeach all officials, identify wrongdoers, and admirals".

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao now not only wants to supervise all officials, but also gentry and businessmen who commit crimes must be severely punished.

Historically, for the supervision of officials, Wu Zetian once "cast copper as a 匦", and the copper 匦 was divided into four sides, painted in blue, red, white, and black, each with an opening for lettering.

Chaodong Qingjiao is called "Yanen", and those who offer poems and praises and seek official advancement vote for it; Chaonan Danjia is called "Calling Admonishment", and those who speak about the gains and losses of the government vote for it; Chaoxi Baijiao is called "Redressing Injustice", and Vote for those who are wronged; vote for those who speak of celestial disasters and military secrets, who are called "Tongxuan" in Chaobeihei.

It can be said that Wu Zetian invented the earliest "suggestion box" in history, which was an act of widening the voice and encouraging remonstrance.

But then, the "suggestion box" became a "reporting box", and the trend of whistleblowers flourished.Wu Zetian also stipulated: "If there are informers, the ministers are not allowed to ask them, and they will all be given to the post horses for five grades of food."

Informants not only enjoy generous treatment, but if the things they report are in line with the holy will, they can also be promoted in an exceptional way.Even if the accusation is false, there will be no punishment.

Therefore, under the encouragement of not confessing or reporting, and being innocent if you report your mistakes, "informers from all over the world flocked, and everyone held their breath."

"Zhi 匦" also deviated from the original intention of ensuring a smooth flow of speech and expressing feelings from the bottom up, and became Wu Zetian's means to strengthen political control, eliminate dissidents, and attack political opponents.

Speaking of the supervision and crackdown on the illegal behavior of merchants, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "reporting" order can be used as a reference for Zhu Youxiao.

The so-called "reporting" order is also to report and expose, and the targets are wealthy businessmen, and the illegal crimes are tax evasion and tax evasion.

If it is verified to be true, the imperial court will confiscate all the property of the tax evader, and the whole family will be exiled to the frontier for one year, and half of the property of the seized person will be rewarded to the whistleblower.

Although the "sentence" order greatly increased the country's income, it seriously affected the development of commerce. For a time, there were fewer merchants and soaring prices.

Zhu Youxiao, who has the perspective and thinking of a time traveler, can learn from it, but will not copy it.

There may be "suggestion boxes" or "whistle-blower boxes", but they are for the purpose of combating corruption, delaying the trial of injustices, and raising sentiments, rather than promoting whistleblowers.

The lawlessness of gentry and merchants can be reported and rewarded, but the reward does not have to be too large, which makes people greedy and false accusations prevail.

It is necessary not only to punish corrupt officials, but also to crack down on illegal businessmen and gentry. It is also necessary to maintain social stability as much as possible, promote the development of industry and commerce, and collect more taxes.

It's complicated, isn't it, but this balance must be mastered, and it has nothing to do with indecision or swiftness.

As the helm of a huge empire, Zhu Youxiao believes that this is a responsible performance, instead of making decisions just by patting his ass.

Whether the decision is correct or not, ears and eyes are essential.This is not easy for the ninety-five supreme beings deep in the palace.

The secret music system is a channel to obtain correct information, and the other is the factory guard system that has been criticized in history.

Wei Zhongxian, the governor of the East Factory, was kneeling in the imperial study at this time, and he was not dissatisfied at all because the emperor seemed to have neglected to let him live without courtesy.

Compared with officials, as an internal official, calling him a slave is more close to the emperor.The emperor was eager to read the report he submitted, indicating that it was an important task.Being able to handle important tasks did not show the trust of the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao didn't mean to make Uncle Wei kneel for a while longer. After reading the report briefly, he raised his eyes and said slowly, "Ban Wei, let's get down!"

Wei Zhongxian stood up after kowtowing again, bowing and standing.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, and said: "The investigation is very detailed, Wei Ban has worked hard."

Raising his hand to stop Uncle Wei from expressing humility, Zhu Youxiao continued: "We must keep an eye on the important people and not relax. Developing internal eyeliner, um, is quite good. Wei is very practical."

"Slaves dare not do their best." Wei Zhongxian bowed and replied: "Don't worry, the emperor, whoever dares to speak disrespectful words to the emperor or has a disloyal heart will never escape Dongchang's eyes and ears."

Buying and placing eyeliner in the official's house, even though Zhu Youxiao reminded and instructed Jiangning weaving.But Wei Zhongxian is self-taught without a teacher, and he still appreciates Uncle Wei's ingenuity.

Now, even which concubine the official slept with at night, and what posture he worked in, probably couldn't escape the emperor's eyes and ears.

However, the source of some officials' property is very suspicious, and the emperor has focused on it, and the good days are only a few days away.

"The next step is to focus on investigating officials who have connections with merchants in the south of the Yangtze River." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing and stopped, and ordered: "There should be a lot of them, especially those officials from Donglin."

"Your servant understands." Wei Zhongxian said with a look of disdain on his face, "It's just those wastes who are usually impassioned but have no way to deal with the situation."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, satisfied with Lao Wei's summary, and said, "I also have some lists here, which will be sorted out and sent to Dongchang."

Wei Zhongxian said yes, but his heart was dark. He knew that the emperor had other information channels, but he didn't know that Zhu Youxiao came from the memory of his previous life.

"Your nephew Wei Liangqing came to the capital to join him, so let him go to the Zhenfu Division first!" Zhu Youxiao said lightly.

Wei Zhongxian quickly knelt down and thanked the emperor for his nephew.

Swinging back Uncle Wei, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a long time, and felt that it was a reward, and beat Old Wei so that he would not dare to bully the king.

As for Wei Liangqing, an honest farmer, he was sent to the Zhenfu Department as a brocade guard, and he was arranged to work and receive a salary. I don't expect him to do a good job.

Zhu Youxiao put away his thoughts, and approved a few more copybooks, and the palace servants reported that His Royal Highness Xin Wang was waiting outside.

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian came in to pay his respects, and what he saw was the warm smile of the emperor's brother, who greeted him cordially.

Since he no longer intends to let several vassal kings go out to serve as vassals, he has to arrange an errand for them.Although Zhu Youjian was young, he also asked the emperor for an order to go to the Ministry of Rites to observe politics.

"Watching politics in the Ministry of Rites, you have learned a lot. What kind of knowledge have you learned?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

Zhu Youjian sat on the embroidered pier and leaned over, saying: "Brother Huihuang, I have learned a lot about etiquette and music, religion, ethnicity and foreign policy, and feel that my vision has broadened a lot."

The Ministry of Rites has jurisdiction over rituals, ancestral sacrifices, hosts and guests, and refined meals. It is in charge of rituals and music, schools, religion, ethnic groups, and foreign affairs.

In modern times, the Ministry of Rites is equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs + Ministry of Education + Ministry of Culture + Bureau of Religious Affairs + Commission of Ethnic Affairs, plus some functions of the general office, as well as the state guesthouse, etc., it is not unimportant.

Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, although the Ministry of Rites had many functions, it was not as important as the soldiers, officials, and households among the six departments.On the surface, Zhu Youxiao also attached great importance to the Ministry of Industry, and the status of the Ministry of Rites was even lower.

But in Zhu Youxiao's heart, the functions of the Ministry of Rites, such as diplomacy, education, and ethnic affairs, are self-evident to the country's importance, but they must be prioritized.

For example, now that foreign enemies and internal troubles coexist, and natural disasters are approaching day by day, the top priority is to seize the army, collect money, and stabilize society.

"Well, the politics of diplomacy is really important." Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said with a smile: "There are countless countries outside of Ming Dynasty, whether they are enemies or friends, whether they fight or caress, how to get along with each other is a university question."

Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "What the emperor said is that, I didn't expect that there are so many Xiyi countries thousands of miles away, such as the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and Britain, France, you beat me and me all day long. Hit you."

Although the Ministry of Rites is not the department that Zhu Youxiao is currently focusing on, he still needs to master some knowledge clearly.

There are maps and explanations brought by the missionaries. The Ministry of Rites can sort out the countries in this world, and it is not that the Hongmaoyi and Xiyi are confused.

"It's all about interests!" Zhu Youxiao paused and said, "There are no permanent friends between countries, only permanent interests."

Zhu Youjian thought about it carefully, nodded his head as if he had realized something, and said: "Brother Huang's words are so rare, I will definitely remember them in my heart."

After a pause, Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "Brother Emperor, I have found talent in the Ministry of Rites. I wonder if I can recommend it to the imperial court?"

"Since you are a talent, why can't you serve the country as a virtuous person?" Zhu Youxiao signaled the palace servants to serve Zhu Youjian tea, said casually, and reached out to pick up the teacup.

Encouraged by the emperor's brother, Zhu Youjian said: "The head of the household department, Yuan Chonghuan, was born as a Jinshi..."

Uh!Zhu Youxiao almost spit out the water in his mouth, and couldn't help coughing again and again.

Wang Tiqian hurried forward to pat the emperor on the back, and Zhu Youjian also stood up with a concerned face.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao stopped coughing and waved his hands, saying it's okay.

Slowing down a little, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian with a strange expression, and said, "Go on."

Zhu Youjian blinked his eyes, and then said: "Yuan Chonghuan is generous and courageous, and likes to talk about soldiers. When he was the magistrate of Shaowu County, he met an old school who retired, and he talked about things in front of him. He knew the situation in Esai. He can be regarded as a frontier talent."

Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes and didn't blame Zhu Youjian much.It is not without reason that Yuan Chonghuan has been used exceptionally many times in history.

The first time was recommended by the censor Hou Xun, and he was promoted to the head of the Ministry of War; side, it has to be reused again...

In Zhu Youxiao's view, Yuan Chonghuan first took advantage of his Jinshi background, and claimed to be proficient in military affairs.

Zhang Dai, a historian and writer during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, once commented on Yuan Chonghuan, saying that he was quite blunt, saying: "...it is so shameless to talk about world affairs. But dreaming and dreaming all day long, falling into the clouds of curtains, But I don't know what it's about. It's five years to destroy the bandits, the bandits can't be destroyed, but they will be destroyed by themselves..."

In other words, Yuan Chonghuan's words are indeed provocative and demagogic. No wonder many people regard him as a frontier talent, saying that he is proficient in military affairs.

During the period of "All Zheng Ying Chao", Yuan Chonghuan was able to obtain miraculous promotion and promotion by virtue of "putting satellites".But in Zhu Youxiao's view, if Yuan Chonghuan is used in the military, the bigger the official, the faster the situation will deteriorate, and the worse the Liao incident will be.

"Three years of work experience in the county magistrate, learning how to use soldiers from veterans, and Xiaoesai, I have never experienced a war." The corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth slightly curled up, and he said with a faint smile: "My brother really thinks that just by talking about it Can you tell it's a side talent?"

Zhu Youjian was a little stunned, and asked subconsciously: "So the emperor knows this person?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "When the Guangning war broke out, Yuan Chonghuan went out of the customs privately, saying that he was reading the situation outside the customs. After returning to the court, he boasted, 'give our army money and valleys, and one person can guard the mountains and seas'. I don't ask him why he resigned privately. Responsibility, just transfer him from the Ministry of War.”

"Riding alone inside and outside the inspection pass is a bit courageous." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he changed his tone and said, "Brother Huang's transfer of him from the Ministry of War is also a small punishment and a wise move."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "My wise move is to observe people's actions, not to listen to people's words. If the high-sounding words are true, how many famous talents and generals are there in the world? Youjian, is Yuan Chonghuan a frontier? Just, you need to observe more!"

"What the emperor said is that the younger brother has been taught." Zhu Youjian felt that the emperor's impression of Yuan Chonghuan was no longer good, so he stopped arguing and nodded in agreement.

Zhu Youxiao leaned back in his chair, and said: "Soldiers, the major events of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must be observed. Dongjiang Mao Wenlong, who has little literary knowledge, has grown up step by step from actual combat; Xiong Tingbi from Liaozhen was the first to pass the martial arts examination, and won the first place in Huguang; later, he passed the Jinshi examination, so he can be regarded as both civil and military."

As soon as the conversation changed, Zhu Youxiao continued: "However, there are very few people with both civil and military skills. There are many disadvantages of using civil officials to lead the army. It has already been used as a lesson in the Liao incident. If Wang Huazhen was not taken away in the Battle of Guangning, I am afraid It was another disastrous defeat. And Wang Huazhen's big words were ashamed, and they were praised by all the court officials at that time."

Zhu Youxiao sneered, sat up straight, and said, "If you invite [-] soldiers to settle the situation in one fell swoop, isn't it a big joke now? There are also court officials who usually make generous speeches, but they have no way to deal with the situation. This is a common problem of civil servants, I have corrected a lot, but it is still far from enough."

Wang Huazhen, Yuan Chonghuan, are there similarities?Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, lost in thought.

"The generals who command the army in the future will all be from martial arts." Zhu Youxiao finally expressed his final vision, "Of course, this is just a military command. Salaries and military laws must be controlled, but they must not interfere with the military." command."

Zhu Youjian understood a little bit, and said: "The supervising army can have it, but it is only for food, and it is a crime of nuclear meritorious service. It cannot be stopped."

"Youjian is smart." Zhu Youxiao felt that he should not be attacked too much, so he praised him and said: "The She'an Rebellion was rampant at the beginning. The military supervisors restrained the generals, civil and military disharmony, and restraint in advance and retreat were an important reason. The Liaodong Company Defeated, the weakness of the civilian command of the army is also fully exposed."
