Chapter 412 Strengthening Supervision

Chapter 412 Strengthening Supervision

Suddenly a burst of spring rain arrived, making the sky darker.

After hearing what Zhang Jingxiu said, Zhu Yijun looked at the bead curtain outside the eaves, pondered for a moment, then got up and sighed:

"It's still the same sentence. The construction of the new rituals is not a one-day thing. Even a son of an official like you will be ignored, let alone the common people?"

"It can even be said that I am not considered a human being by them, but just a symbol of power in terms of etiquette."

"What your Majesty said is true! But it's not that everywhere is bullying the people in the name of the Qing army's Goujun, it's true that only a few places are harassing the people in the name of the Qing army's Goujun."

"Moreover, after the imperial decree strictly prohibiting the Qing army from hooking up the army, most local bureaucrats are also actively patrolling to stop it, and dare not really ignore the decree."

"Generally speaking, there are good and bad bureaucrats all over the world. Although the examination law has not been abolished and the government is strictly controlled, it can only be said that there are few particularly bad ones, and indeed they cannot be eradicated."

Zhang Jingxiu replied.

"If it's everywhere, isn't the New Deal implemented in vain?"

Zhu Yijun asked with a smile, then lowered his face and said:

"The reason for everything is that the new ceremony has not yet become popular!"

"Of course, the reason why the new rites have not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is that the method of obtaining the benefits of the world has not been fundamentally changed. The method of obtaining profits through internal and external development to benefit the people of the world has not completely replaced the method of obtaining profits from land cultivation."

"Officials and ordinary people are still staring at the land!"

"But I believe that with the change in the way of seizing the benefits of the world, everything will change completely, and the disadvantages caused when the old rituals collapsed and the new rituals have not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people will be resolved!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Most people are used to peace, and officials are the same. Most of them prefer to live in peace and hate passing exams."

"In this way, the evil officials, local ruffians and evil gentry and local tyrants become more and more unscrupulous, and even coerce bureaucrats to pursue fame and fortune. There is a saying that evil is as good as destruction, and goodness is as good as success. After the old rituals collapse, the people are more likely to be ruthless and flattering, bullying the weak and fearing the hard; The new gift should solve this problem."

Zhang Jingxiu replied.

"But the new etiquette is not so easy to rebuild!"

"As you said just now, people's desire is to enjoy the honor and live in peace, rather than to work hard and rebuild new etiquette."

"Once a person is used to being free and undisciplined, it will become very difficult to restrain himself!"

"Be good at what you do."

"So, if the people of the world want to re-observe the etiquette, it is impossible to expect them to take the initiative to establish a new etiquette. They will only think about rebuilding the etiquette when they bring the country and the nation to the abyss of subjugation, but that At that time, the price will be high, and I don't know how many lives will be poisoned."

"There will even be no time to think and build new etiquette, only time to go the old way."

"So, we still need to strengthen supervision!"

"First of all, the factory guards must not be broken, otherwise, the final monitoring guarantee will be lost."

"Once Jin Yiwei is in peace, the science will follow Gou'an, and then the officials will follow Gou'an, the subordinates will become rampant, and the gentry will turn from good to evil!"

"In the end, I am afraid that a local ruffian and bully will be able to conquer a village and a town, making government orders and kings and laws regarded as nothing."

"Secondly, when the national treasury and the people's wealth continue to increase, we must further open up the wisdom of the people."

"It's not just about enlightening the common people's wisdom, including the wisdom of the scholar-bureaucrats. Nowadays, most of the people in the dynasty do not have the awareness that they are responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and they do not have the awareness of respecting their inner conscience."

"Even scholars are not the kind of people who take the world as their own responsibility in ancient times, but pay more attention to inner harmony and advocating tranquility of mind."

"Therefore, many scholar-bureaucrats did not hesitate to wrong themselves and wronged everything for the sake of the world. Rao, it was Zhao Nanxing who went to the doctor of the examination department. In order to prevent you from having trouble in the future, he did not hesitate to obliterate the justice of the examination, and did not hesitate to obliterate it. One's own conscience has even forgotten the etiquette requirements of treating a gentleman with courtesy."

"Even Jin Yiwei is the same, he would rather abolish his own power, and try not to investigate the crimes of hundreds of officials, so as not to cause more trouble;"

"If things go on like this, can the Son of Heaven prefer not to use the imperial power, and try not to ask the common people of the community, and don't ask the pros and cons of the world?"

"We must get rid of this increasingly stale habit of not wanting to cause trouble among the Han people in the world. We must open up the wisdom and wisdom they should have, know how to fight for their own rights, and care about state affairs and world affairs."

"I don't know when did this cowardly and peaceful weak thinking come from?"

"I look at the historical data. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the world was not like this. There were commoners who dared to drive the Tartars back to the desert with spears, and even more rebels who dared to attack the captives in the north. A bloody battle with the enemy."

"But in the end, there are more and more lifeless people. Fortunately, they are not completely wiped out, such as Mr. Haigangfeng."

"But no matter what, it is necessary to revive this strong prestige. It is necessary to let the Han people have a sense of resistance, the rise and fall of the country and the nation, and the awareness of their own responsibilities, and this is first of all. I want all Han people to read and love to read;"

"However, this is what I will ask the cabinet to do. What you Jinyiwei have to do is to encourage the Han people to fight for their rights, encourage them to care about the country and the world, and even supervise the national bureaucracy. Since the new ritual is to respect the common people I regard the Han people all over the world as national scholars, and I should accept all the words of the Han people all over the world. This is also the meaning of returning to the Taizu, encouraging the people to write letters and encouraging the people to sue the officials."

"So, what you Jinyiwei have to do is spread eyeliner widely, and at the same time let each Jinyiwei set up anonymous reporting points in various places, and special Jinyiwei guards the point to prevent people from vandalizing; let the people have a channel to report to officials through Jinyiwei."

"It is said to the outside world that it is ordered to inquire about the people's sentiments."

Zhu Yijun said.

Zhang Jingxiu clapped his hands and said yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun said again: "However, now, after you receive the appointment document, immediately go to rectify Jinyiwei, and tell Liu Shouyou what you saw, and tell him that it is my decree that he needs to deal with these criminals immediately. Officials should not be tolerated if they are arrested and taken to Beijing!"

"According to the order!"

Zhang Jingxiu responded.

And after Zhang Jingxiu left, Zhu Yijun ordered local officials at all levels to also set up anonymous reporting points in crowded places, so as to facilitate inquiries about people's conditions.

But Zhu Yijun is not satisfied with this.

In order to prevent Jin Yiwei and bureaucrats at all levels from being obedient and vigilant, they secretly prevented the people from suing the officials.

On the one hand, he decreed that the chief inspector of ceremonies would print the "Yu Zhi Da Gao" and distribute it to the people, so as to prevent the Taizu Yu Shu, which encouraged the people to sue the officials, from being deliberately hidden.

Simultaneously.

On the other hand, he also asked Jiangzuo Temple to continue to build a larger anonymous reporting box that only the emperor knew how to open, and set it up in various post stations across the country, and Jin Yiwei would regularly retrieve it and the emperor would personally read it.

Today, the technocrats of Jiangzuo Temple, represented by Qi Changguo and Zhao Shizhen, have mastered the superb manufacturing skills of precision mechanical gears, and it is still possible to manufacture a sophisticated mechanical lock box with complex ingenuity and even a password.

Of course, officially, this anonymous reporting box is called by Zhu Yijun a system for inquiring about people's sentiments.

Zhu Yijun is not afraid of whether the local officials Haoyou sent people near the post station to monitor the oppressed people and report them anonymously. He believes that the smart people will know to go to other places to send letters.

This is also where the local officials are helpless.

There are really too many officials and noble families in Ming Dynasty, there are not only one family in each province, even in each prefecture and county, and none of them can make themselves so powerful that other local officials have to look at their faces. Fight for a few more official positions in your own province.

After all, the provinces, prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty are all competing for the official positions in the court, especially those with real power in the capital. Naturally, it is impossible to fully work together.

It's just that after Zhu Yijun's order was issued, Shen Shixing had to report to Zhu Yijun:

"Your Majesty, encouraging the people to sue the officials like this may intensify the internal struggle between the officials and the people, and encourage the villainy in the bureaucracy!"

"There is a clear example of this in the time of the Taizu. In order to suppress the honest bureaucrats, there were really corrupt and treacherous officials who secretly instigated the people to falsely accuse the honest officials. There are also profiteers and evil gentry deliberately using this system to blackmail the timid bureaucrats, and then coerce these bureaucrats to do things for them. Therefore, Taizu sighed that anti-corruption is too difficult!"

"As a result, the "Dagao" was decreed not to be accepted in depth when it was established in the temple."
