The Master of Time and Space, Earn three small goals with blood at the beginning

While Zhang Juzheng was racing all the way, a group of people from Longhu Mountain had already arrived in the capital.

The hottest thing in the capital now is Zhang Juzheng’s reforms, and Zhang Yongxu and others naturally heard a lot of news.

In an inn.

Yin Zhiping was talking about the news he had found out: “The entrance examination method has been introduced, and the officials are very dissatisfied, but there is nothing they can do. Zhang Juzheng has 10,000 strange demons in his hands, who can help Zhang Juzheng do anything.”

“These ten thousand demons also helped Zhang Juzheng measure the land near the capital, causing public resentment.”

The “people’s resentment” mentioned by Yin Zhiping is actually the dissatisfaction of the gentry.

Ordinary people, on the other hand, don’t care. They have neither property nor the means to hide it.

However, in the eyes of these Taoist priests, the gentry were the people, and ordinary Guizhou heads were not in their eyes at all.

The Zhang family, where Zhang Yongxu lives, also owns a large amount of land in the local area. Although religious people also have tax-free privileges, it is not always pleasant for others to know the details of their own land.

Therefore, Zhang Yongxu also did not like Zhang Juzheng’s reforms.

Zhang Yongxu said: “I understand that your Majesty is not such a reckless person. If the emperor had not replaced him, he would definitely not have supported Zhang Juzheng’s misdeeds. By the way, where did the ten thousand monsters in Zhang Juzheng’s hands come from?”

Yin Zhiping said: “According to the news from the palace, the emperor turned the soldiers into soldiers by casting beans, and used magic to conjure them up. They were handed over to Zhang Juzheng to help Zhang Juzheng perversely.”

The palace of the Ming Dynasty was like a leaky house, no news could be hidden.

Things are getting better now. There are still three major cases in the middle and late period of Wanli. A mental patient assassinated the crown prince and actually entered the East Palace. This shows the lax management of the palace.

Jiang Hao didn’t deliberately hide it, wishing he could take the initiative to promote that he could make waves and make soldiers by spreading beans.

First, give an explanation for the 10,000 more skilled intellectuals under Zhang Juzheng.

Otherwise, the unreasonable increase of 10,000 civil servants in the Ming Dynasty would be really appalling.

Secondly, it is also to strengthen the sanctity of the emperor and be more conducive to reform.

After all, the emperor knows magic, who can stop him?

Zhang Yongxu sighed and said: “It seems that today’s emperor is probably a fake. We all know that the human emperor is cursed by the emperor and cannot practice cultivation at all. Since ancient times, have you heard that there are emperors who can use magic?”

“Of course not. The law does not add noble people, but noble people cannot practice the law. This has been the rule since ancient times.” Song Yuanqiao said, “Since today’s people can practice, they must be monsters pretending to be evil. Today’s people have been practicing for many years, but they have never been among them. The door cannot have magical powers.”

The Holy Mother of White Lotus said: “But this evildoer is really powerful. Killing the emperor will definitely cause the fate of the country to backfire. But in the end, he was completely fine and could still occupy the magpie’s nest. It’s really incredible.”

Jinding Zhenren said: “Moreover, he can summon ten thousand demons by spreading beans. The power of this demon is simply shocking.”

Yin Zhiping said: “It’s really hard to deal with such a monster, and he’s an emperor on the surface!”

Zhang Yongxu said: “That’s why I have united with you! Only when we take action together can we be sure. Tonight, we will visit the palace at night to see the true face of that evildoer!”

…

At the same time, an inconspicuous little official also came to the capital with a whirlwind of travels.

The name of this petty official was Hai Rui. He was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the capital and served as a small chief.

As soon as he arrived in the capital, Hai Rui first visited his friend Wang Yongji.

After all, Hai Rui was unfamiliar with the place in the capital, so he needed the help of his friends to settle down in the capital.

Along the way, Hai Rui naturally heard about Zhang Juzheng’s reforms, and was especially shocked when he learned that Zhang Juzheng had already measured the acres around the capital.

Hai Rui is an official with practical experience in local work and knows how difficult it is to accomplish this.

He also heard that the current emperor was determined to reform and strongly supported Zhang Juzheng’s reform. This made Hai Rui find it incredible and also felt that the emperor finally found his way back. It was so sad!

Hai Rui had a lot of opinions about the Jiajing Emperor from what he had seen and heard along the way and what he had thought over the years.

That’s why he came up with “Public Security Shu” in the future.

However, Hai Rui was also deeply influenced by the Confucian idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, and he really regarded the emperor as the “father of the emperor.”

So when Hai Rui heard about Jiajing’s death in prison, he burst into tears and fainted.

Now that Jun’s father can pull back from the brink and get back on his feet, how can Hai Rui not be happy?

“Brother Ruxian, I have been waiting for you day and night, but now you are here!” Wang Yongji was very happy when he saw Hai Rui, “Come, come, come

, let me pick you up and wash away the dust, let’s go to the restaurant! ”

“The restaurant is too expensive, so there’s no need to go there. It’s just at your house. A few home-cooked dishes and a jug of wine are enough. That’s enough.” Hai Rui waved his hands.

The salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were actually not low, at least not during the Hongwu period.

However, as times change, prices rise and salaries remain unchanged. The salary that could originally support people has become very meager.

What’s more, in order to reduce costs, the Ming court did not pay wages to subordinate staff and official staff.

Therefore, when officials hold local posts, they have to pay the salaries of their subordinates and staff, which costs a lot of money.

Coupled with the booming population in ancient times, officials had to support a large family, and the expenses were not small.

If the family hadn’t already had money, it would have been beyond their means to support so many people with that meager salary.

But it won’t work if you don’t raise it.

A former official from other places is nominally Bailihou, but if he is alone, he may not be able to complete even basic tasks.

Therefore, it is necessary to bring along a staff, such as a master.

In addition, officials have spent their whole lives in imperial examinations, have read the Four Books and Five Classics, and are not very proficient in practical matters. A master is not enough.

We need help from Master Qianliang, Master Xingming and other masters.

This requires paying people wages.

Subordinate officials have no salary, so if they want others to do things, they have to pay them.

The boss is rich.

No money?

When you have no money, unless you are extremely capable and know everything, you will not be able to complete basic tasks, such as collecting taxes.

The most important job of the county magistrates in the Ming Dynasty was to help the court collect taxes, which was also their main achievement.

If the tax collection is unfavorable and the performance is too poor, your own reputation will not be guaranteed.

This forces officials to generate some extra income to meet their own needs, otherwise it will be too difficult.

Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty was a man who could not bear to rub dirt in his eyes. However, when he appointed Huo Xian to return to the throne, he also gave a part of Huo Huo (the loss during the smelting of silver) to officials as subsidies.

They even gave out a lot of “integrity-supporting silver”.

It cannot prevent officials from reaching out randomly, but it can at least prevent honest officials from being wronged.
