Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

How many gentry and rich merchants, how many powerful officials, these people, if the world is unified, under his oppression, for the sake of their lives and rights, they will inevitably become the source of disaster everywhere.

But now, most of these people who should have been the source of disasters have come to Nanming in the hope of survival.

Even so, it will inevitably strengthen Nanming's ability to organize, and it will also make Nanming's resistance more determined.

However, compared with Daheng as a whole, in the short term, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages!

After all, without the existence of Nanming, he, the emperor, is probably still struggling with how to put down the rebellion. How could he sit and watch the world's ups and downs as comfortably as he is now.

While his thoughts were flowing, the emperor looked at Xu Feng who was standing aside:

"In a few days, I will go to various prefectures and counties near the capital with me. If I don't look at it in detail, I still feel a little worried."

"Sir, obey the order."

The emperor waved his hand, Xu Feng retreated, and only the emperor was left standing in the hall.

After a while, the emperor's gaze suddenly fixed on the land of Liaodong.

Up to now, it has been more than half a year since his triumphant return from Liaodong, plus the few months of reform...

If possible, he would really like to go to Liaodong in person, and take another look at how this reform has fallen to the bottom, what are the pros and cons, and how to avoid it...

However, obviously, this is somewhat unlikely. In this current situation, it is impossible for him to leave the capital and go to Liaodong again.

All he can do is to read and understand the situation in Liaodong through the reports of Liaodong officials, the reports of the garrison troops in various places in Liaodong, and the reports of Jinyiwei secret agents.

But hearing is believing, seeing is believing.

No matter how detailed those memorials are, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't be at ease.

It has always been a tradition in official circles to report good news but not bad news.

"Secret playing system..."

The emperor whispered to himself, but there was a rare hesitation in his eyes.

……

Chapter 5 and eight

In a sense, the secrecy system is an extended variant of Jinyiwei's spy politics.

After all, Jinyiwei exists, and it is an aboveboard existence.

Any institution, as long as it exists, will inevitably have its own interests.

In particular, this organization is still investigating people in the world.

The world knows without thinking that Jin Yiwei is useful, but only on the premise that their interests are not involved, and once their interests are involved, the term "worthy" may not be feasible.

Just like this investigation, Jin Yiwei must have played a role in it, greedily devouring a considerable part of the profits...

Every institution has its survival mode, and Jinyiwei also has a survival mode of Jinyiwei.

No matter how strict his requirements are, Jinyiwei will inevitably gradually integrate into this system, and if he integrates into the system, he will inevitably be bound by the rules and lose the original intention of designing Jinyiwei.

Even now, the Son of Heaven already feels this way about Jin Yiwei.

As for the secrecy system, obviously, if it is only the function of monitoring the world, the secret system can already perfectly replace Jinyiwei.

First, secret books have no grades, that is, anyone can be a spy, and no one knows who will be a spy. This is enough to make it extremely difficult for officials to trust each other. Therefore, it can also be avoided to a large extent. Party struggle!

Second, the secret agent and the emperor are in a single line of contact, and have not passed through the layers of screening. Naturally, no one can hide anything!

In this way, the secrecy system is enough to make the officialdom transparent to the emperor from now on!

Any detours, secret passages, will not be able to hide the attention of the emperor!

There seem to be many advantages, but there are naturally many disadvantages.

Not to mention far away, let's just talk about the imperial court. This secret system may be enough to make a group of scholar-bureaucrats who regard their names as their fate, even more alienated from him, the emperor.

"Liaodong..."

The emperor murmured, his eyes still fixed on the land of Liaodong on the map, as if he had made up his mind.

If he wanted to thoroughly understand the implementation of the reforms, as well as the pros and cons brought about by the reforms, he could either visit Liaodong privately in a micro-service and investigate carefully, or he could only rely on secret reports.

The playbooks handed up layer by layer, it is okay to look at it roughly, but it is difficult to look at the specifics, the pros and cons!

Even if Liaodong is the martial arts he relies on, it is useless.

While his thoughts were flowing, the emperor raised the tip of the pen, pondered for a moment, and waved the tip of the pen until finally, the tip of the pen was put down, and the seal of the emperor was affixed.

This imperial decree also went through Yuqianying to various places in Liaodong.

No one knew that the emperor's will had quietly changed again.

However, nowadays, no one can notice such side details.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the result of the tax case has already been found out, but the tax case has no intention of stopping the closing of the case, on the contrary, it has been implicated wantonly.

And the thorough investigation of the Confucian Mansion has already begun. Anyone with a little knowledge of the two storms can easily see that the emperor is still preparing for that reform.

Of course, with the passage of time, in this turbulent capital, the focus of the topic is no longer a tax case, not a Confucianist Confucianism, but Daheng's first time since the founding of the country to open a course to obtain a scholar!

Strictly speaking, this is the first time since the death of Chongzhen in the former Ming Dynasty, after many years, the first time to obtain a scholar!

As early as the emperor's decree in the second year of Zhaowu, countless scholars from all over Daheng set foot on the road to this capital.

There are even not a few scholars who are native to the south of the Yangtze River and who are native to the land occupied by Nanming.

According to the decree of the emperor, the day of the beginning of summer is the time for the admission of scholars.

Now it is March, and the distance from Lixia seems to be very close.

For the vast majority of scholars, it is obvious that they do not care about Confucianism and Confucianism, nor do they care much about reforms.

They only care about one thing, and that is whether they can get rewards for their decades of hard study.

Other than that, everything else is out of their minds.

Even if they want to care, want to care, and even feel dissatisfied, if something goes wrong, they will definitely shrink the fastest.

After all, decades of hard study in spring and autumn have come to an end. If the background is big, it’s okay to not care about it. If it’s an ordinary family, who wants to go to the troubles of decades of hard work!

If you are a little careless, decades of studying hard in the cold window will be ruined in one go.

Gold list title!

It has long been the greatest desire and demand engraved in the genes of every scholar.

Under this kind of demand, the streets and alleys of the capital are also full of celebrations for the titles on the gold list!

On the street, all kinds of handmade gadgets with profound meaning can be seen everywhere, and the shouts of vendors resounded through the street.

The red lanterns are hung high, and the words implying high school are depicted on the lanterns and hung on the eaves of the roadside. At a glance, it looks like Chinese New Year, and even Chinese New Year is not so lively.

It's just that, amidst the excitement and festivities, it's rare to see the protagonist who created this excitement and festivities.

Scholars, during this time period, have long been shutting themselves out, studying hard, or praying silently, praying for the title of the gold list.

Compared with the whole court, the emperor did not pay much attention to this time.

In the eyes of the emperor, this imperial examination, and even the next imperial examination, and even the next few years, are just to add vitality to the ruling class, so that he can better survive the fittest, thereby cleaning out some unqualified ones.

As for other functions, he thought it was useless.

The imperial power going to the countryside, the seeds of science, everything still needs time to support its evolution and policies to support its emergence.

It's just that the current environment can't support what he wants to do at all, so the emperor can only take the next best thing, temporarily castrating the reform, making certain aspects of the reform one size fits all, and letting the seeds of reform be planted first.

Then, slowly rectify the administration of officials, reverse the ideological concept, and promote education!

In the not-too-distant future, when everything has matured, at that time, it will be what the emperor wants.

The imperial examinations will recruit talents from all over the world, and spread the ruling tentacles of the imperial court to every corner of the world!

The education system with the imperial examination as the branch can also allow all scientific theories in the world to flourish in this imperial examination!

The ruling system of the imperial court, civil, military and military administration, will adapt to the times bit by bit and change accordingly.

This land that has been reincarnated for thousands of years will completely break the reincarnation of history repeating itself again and again, and bring this civilization to a peak and prosperity that has never been seen before!

Chapter 5 Nine Zhang Huangyan

How big is the difference between dream and reality?

In the past, after he first learned of the transfer order to Liaodong, Zhang Huangyan had a great fantasy, dreaming of making a great political achievement, and since then he has made great achievements all the way, becoming a marquis and minister, serving as the emperor, and taking charge of the government. ...

But after arriving in Liaodong, I was caught in this surging trend of reform. From top to bottom, there must be reforms in words and deeds, and there must be reforms in behavior...

No matter how you look at it, those elite students who have undergone systematic training in civil science in the martial arts academy are much better than him, a scholar who is only proficient in literary and ink.

In doing things, he is much more agile than him.

The entire Liaodong is like a large army.

The governor's "military order" was issued, and there was no room for flexibility or hesitation, only execution, execution, and execution!

A mere ninth-rank county, under the overwhelming trend of reform, is just a pawn at the end, without much sense of existence at all.

As long as he dutifully implements the orders above and passes various assessments, no one will make things difficult for him because of his status as a literati and Jinshi!

For more than half a year in Eastern Liaodong, the dedicated and professional ones were the magistrates of the Jiupin County, the herdsmen's side.

After a long time, that little fantasy will dissipate.

Political achievements cannot be achieved in a short while, and abilities are not born innately. Everything needs to be accumulated over time!

Looking at it, Zhang Huangyan was free and easy, and what followed was a sense of responsibility for this land that he had taken for granted.

Although the superiors are all martial arts, although they are strict and ruthless, at least there are not too many nasty things like cockroaches and dog theft.

The warriors have straight tempers and look fierce, but as long as they have the right temper, they can get along quite happily.

Moreover, Zhang Huangyan is more suitable for this piece of land where people are united and vigorously moving forward, and it is also more like a fish in water.

"I don't care how high your status was or how powerful you were before, and I don't care what crime you came to Liaodong for..."

"You just need to know that when you arrive in Dingbian County, you are Dingbian residents. As long as you abide by the court's laws and follow the court's arrangements, I guarantee that you will be treated equally..."

In the early morning, Zhang Huangyan came to the outside of the county seat in person, looking around at the batch of criminal camps assigned here, Zhang Huangyan spoke loudly.

This is no longer the first batch of criminals he took over to confiscate their homes and send them here. Strictly speaking, it should be the third batch, and there are probably nearly a thousand people.

From sympathy at the beginning, to thinking later, to indifference now.

He knew that many of these criminals must have been wronged or implicated, but...he had worked in Liaodong for more than half a year, so he naturally had an extremely detailed understanding of this so-called reform.

It is precisely because of his incomparable understanding that he can truly understand why the never-ending storm in the pass is now.

Everything is for this unprecedented change!

How can we carry out a great change that has never been seen in the ages without breaking the ground and completely destroying the old order!

Today's reforms, although there are still many disadvantages, even, are obvious disadvantages.

But anyone can see that this is the helplessness limited by the times.

As long as the reforms are carried out and the world stabilizes, there will always be a time for revisions to minor details.

The same is true for the criminals in front of them.

In the truly great era, the survival of any individual is insignificant.

"Take them outside the city, according to the previous rules, first use work for relief, build houses, open up wasteland..."

As usual, after Zhang Huangyan made arrangements with the small officials beside him in an orderly manner, when he was about to return to the county government for dispatching and coordinating, a rush of horseshoes suddenly came from far to near.

"Ahead is Zhang Huangyan, magistrate of Dingbian County?"

The generals drink high.

"It's down."

Zhang Huangyan straightened his official robes and stepped out.

The messenger didn't say much, instead he looked around at these small officials and hundreds of criminals.

Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan hesitated for a while, and finally stayed away from the team.

"My lord Zhang, this is His Majesty's secret order. Remember, this secret order must not be known to a third person. If it is leaked, it will be regarded as a violation!"

Zhang Huangyan looked at the messenger in front of him suspiciously: "General, can you show the pass and defense notice to the subordinate?"

The messenger was taken aback for a moment, and without saying a word, he took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Huangyan.
