I am the king of the dead

When the Dengwen drum rang, Yu Shiyue's heart almost jumped into her throat. Who is this? If you have a grievance, just say, why are you beating that drum?

This has been said for a long time, and it has nothing to do with their criminal department.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Chen Yi, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Chen Yi didn't know about this at all!

No one mentioned it to him at all. This involved a major event in Sichuan Province. He didn't even know it before the sound of Dengwen's drum.

He said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I don't know the details, and I have committed the crime of negligence. Your Majesty, release me as an official!"

The position of the chief constitution cannot be sat down any longer, and if you sit down again, your life will be gone.

Wang Wen held back his laughter, and after sitting for a few days in the position of Chief Procuratorate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he took Chen Xun's place as a scholar in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Although this work is hard, it is much more stable than the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhu Qiyu knew exactly what the Metropolitan Procuratorate looked like. He issued an order to not violate the curfew, but three people refused to obey the order. They drank with Uncle Huichang until late at night, and even pushed and insulted the curfew soldiers of Wucheng Bingmasi pawn.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand to signal Chen Yi to return to work, and said to Li Sui, "Go on."

Li Sui said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, this one-household-two-collection, plus apportionment level by level, is not worth eight cents, and at least five cents a year on the heads of the common people."

"Five coins of silver, Your Majesty's people work for only twenty or thirty copper coins a day, how long will it take to collect the five coins?"

"The bureaucrats at all levels use your majesty's reputation and power to plunder the common people. The superiors get half of the things they plunder, and the prefectures and counties take half into their pockets."

"When I first started doing these things, I still had some scruples. After working for a year or two, it became an old practice. After another term, I started to follow the rules. After ten or 20 years, it became more legitimate and smoother."

Zhu Qiyu said with a full smile: "I already know about this matter, you go to Donghua Gate to read the list first, it's okay if you don't read it, I tell you, you will pass the test."

"Okay, let's get back and prepare for the imperial examination."

"Your Majesty..." Li Sui still wanted to argue, but Hu Min kept winking at Li Sui, signaling him to go first.

Li Sui didn't know His Majesty's disposition, how could Hu Wei not know?

His Majesty speaks calmly now, smiling and talking to Li Sui, because he is afraid of chilling the heart of Li Sui, a newly promoted Jinshi, and he is protecting Li Sui.

Since His Majesty knows about this matter, there is no reason to ignore it.

Although Li Sui didn't understand, he bowed his head and retreated.

Fengtian Hall was very quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing against Luo Mu.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Sui's leaving back and fell into thinking.

How did the civil uprising come about?

Aren't they all like Li Sui, who didn't understand the troubles in the local area, made troubles in the capital, made troubles in the capital, and ended up in the capital, but also made troubles and didn't understand.

How did the Sichuan supervisory censor react?One push four five six, nothing to do with oneself hang on high.

After a long time, the people knew that there was no way to complain about this kind of thing, so they silently suffered from this and stopped trying to find a way to complain.

At the beginning, bureaucrats at all levels were still scruples. Later, they were Xiao Gui Cao Sui, and finally they became righteous. In the final analysis, the bureaucrats found that the people can't do anything to them, isn't it justified?

The people are so angry, just like a pressure cooker, when they can't stand it, isn't it a civil change?

It is better to block than to scatter, and to prevent the mouth of the people is worse than to prevent Sichuan. These truths are said by scholar-officials who have just finished their elementary studies, but how do they do it?

Layers of containment.

After being silent for a long time in Fengtian Hall, Zhu Qiyu said: "I'm very glad that at least there are still people who are willing to say it, but no one is willing to say it when it comes to it. Our Daming is almost dead."

After saying this, the courtiers were all in a cold sweat. Why is His Majesty's association ability so rich?

This private apportionment can be said to be one of the unspoken rules, and it exists everywhere, but the degree is different.

The purge of officials is already underway.

"Lian Gang has done a good job in Nanya, let him go to Sichuan. At the end of next year, I will send Tiqi to visit secretly." Zhu Qiyu stood up, took two steps and said: "That Sichuan supervisory censor, get rid of it. "

"Corpse meal."

Zhu Qiyu walked out of Fengtian Hall and looked at the sun shining brightly. These are all chronic illnesses of more than 20 years and need to be changed a little bit.

At the same time, he is also a little lucky. He always has a way to generate income, and he is always cautious about raising taxes.

Before the overall governance of officials is clear and improving, tax increases will put shackles on the people's heads.

These people are so cruel.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Sichuan Emergency Report!" A Ti Qi rushed over like the wind, shouting loudly.

Chapter 492 Lecture hall expansion

"Don't be so panicked." Zhu Qiyu signaled Tiqi to stabilize his figure.

He took the military newspaper and read it for a long time.

A civil uprising occurred in Zhenxiong Mansion, Sichuan. This time, a people named Huang Long and Wei Bao led the uprising.

Huanglong is Han, Wei Bao is Miao, a total of more than [-] Miao people and [-] soldiers captured two camps in Zunyi Mansion, one called Xiping Village and the other called Huangtan Village.

The basis for this civil uprising was naturally the one-cent and eight-cent silver. In the first year of this year, five cents of silver were collected, and there was little silver in Sichuan. The five cents of silver were life-saving money.

The direct cause of the outbreak of the civil uprising was that some tax collection teams in Zhenxiong Mansion in Sichuan had overreached.

After the Hailong Tunguan Fort of the Yang family in Bozhou was razed to the ground, Zunyi Mansion was established, and Zunyi Mansion was under the jurisdiction of Sichuan. Just after the demarcation of the border, Zunyi Mansion was tax-free for one year according to the system, so that the people could settle down. It is imperative.

Under such circumstances, the scribes from Zhenxiong Mansion in Sichuan gathered a "tax collection team" of hundreds of people, and went to Zunyi Mansion to collect taxes as if they were going to the countryside to sweep.

Usually, these tax collection teams dare not cross the border, because there are local snakes in other people's land, but the newly established Zunyi Mansion has not yet formed a tax collection team, so these tax collection teams swaggered over the border.

This is where things go wrong.

The common people were all stupid. They took the emperor's imperial decree and started armed resistance to taxation. This round of tax resistance team won, but the common people couldn't survive, and finally captured Xiping Village and Huangtan Village in Zunyi Mansion. .

After these two fortresses were breached, the people in Sichuan were raging, and for a while, they resisted the power of the head and apportionment, and began to spread all over Sichuan.

The fundamental reason is that the government is dim, corruption is rampant, and the people are overwhelmed, in order to survive.

If the two taxes in summer and autumn this year continue to use the trick of cutting the head, I am afraid that a catastrophe will spread throughout Sichuan, and it will appear.

The bureaucracy is dim, corruption is prevalent, and the upper and lower collusion to protect, complicity, can this be blamed on Zhu Qiyu's head?

Since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, he has reprimanded the Metropolitan Procuratorate for the word "government of officials", the Mansion Law, the Beijing Procuratorate, the 95 "Constitutional Outlines and Matters", grand plans, and examination laws that have even led to rebellions across several provinces.

Isn't Zhu Qiyu caring enough about the government?All the means are used, and the multi-pronged approach is adopted, but the administration of officials is still not clear.

This is an old disease. It is not a day's work to freeze three feet, and it is not a day's work to melt the ice.

The administration of officials is advancing steadily, but in the process of promoting, there are still some things that Zhu Qiyu doesn't want to see.

Zhu Qiyu was a little dizzy looking at the military newspaper in his hand.

The disposal of the place is quite appropriate. The two captured camps have been surrounded by layers and are being calmed down in an orderly manner.

Maybe when Zhu Qiyu received this military report, the civil uprising had already been completely quelled. After all, the journey was long, and even if it was urgent, it would take ninety days.

But what about after peace?

If it is not handled properly, the situation in Sichuan, which is like a powder keg, will be completely ignited.

This trick is really too ruthless, eight cents for one cent, and finally accumulated to five cents!

Holding the military newspaper in his hand, Zhu Qiyu thought for a long time and said: "Decree to appease the local people, the chief evil weapon will be sent to the capital to make up for it."

"The [-] rebellious Miao people are persuaded to settle down. If there is any rebellion, they will be severely punished."

Zhu Qiyu's handling of the civil uprising in Sichuan is the same as that of Fujian.

The culprits must be dealt with, and these culprits are not necessarily good people, most of them are careerists who confuse the people in the village.

Such people are not rare.

Fujian civil uprising, divided into Ye Zongliu and Deng Maoqi.

Ye Zongliu clashed with the government army because of the silver mines in Fujian, while Deng Maoqi was the government forced the people to rebel. The specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail.

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "The minister accepts the order."

Zhu Qiyu returned to the lecture hall, took out the military newspaper again, and suddenly remembered Mr. Lu Xun's words:

"If a person is not a person, not only is it not a person, but it is not as good as an ox or a horse; it is nothing;"

"When people envy cattle and horses and sigh that "the chaos is not as good as Taiping dogs", then give him a price slightly equal to that of cattle and horses, just like the law of the Yuan Dynasty. If you kill other people's slaves and pay for a cow, people will be convinced , to celebrate the prosperous age of peace.”

"Why? Because although he is not considered a human being, he is equal to an ox or a horse after all."

"There is a more straightforward statement here: first, the era when you can't be a slave if you want to; second, the era when you are temporarily a slave."

This is not only the tragedy of the land of the East, but also the tragedy of the world.

All sentient beings, what they want is nothing more than an era of slaves and stable slaves.

When the oxen and horses are hungry, the owner also knows to feed the oxen and horses some fodder to prevent them from working hungry, because the oxen and horses will really lay down their hooves.

Now the people who are cattle and horses, the emperor issued an order to exempt the two taxes a year to appease the people, but some people just don't want them to eat some grass in peace and make up for their bodies.

They have to squeeze out the last drop of their people's fat and people's ointment before they are willing to give up.

These people in Guizhou and other places suffered at the hands of various chieftains, and when Wang Ji and others rebelled for their own ambitions, they suffered at the hands of the rebels. Is it your own family?

The Beijing army is indeed their own family, and they don't burn, kill and loot, so they can be called the king's teacher.

But the people of Zunyi Mansion, within a few days of this peaceful life, the tax collection team from Zhenxiong Mansion in Sichuan came.

The people still have to be looted and suffer, and the only rations they have are also taken away.

Even at this point, the common people hope that there will be a master who treats them like cattle, horses, and property. They are hardworking and they can find grass for themselves, and they just ask the master to decide how they run.

The people want too little.

For example, the people of Fujian, they only hope that the imperial court can behead Song Zhang, who is the chief envoy of Fujian, who brought out winter animals and drained the last rations of the people.

The uprising of millions of people, Zhu Qiyu is just a piece of edict, exempt from taxes for one year, they are already grateful.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the back of the chair, wrote Mr. Lu Xun's "Bi Tan under the Lamp" according to his memory, handed it to Xing'an, asked him to give it to Hu Wei, and sent it to the Di Bao under his pseudonym.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the farm law can be fully implemented in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other places." Xing'an made Zhu Qiyu a cup of tea and said in a low voice.

He is the admiral eunuch of the Rites Supervisor, so he naturally has the right to discuss affairs, although he is more like a secretary on weekdays.

He came up with the idea of ​​enlarging the Grange Law.

Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table and said: "The farm method is not a cure-all, nor is it a panacea for all diseases."

Xing'an hurriedly replied: "However, there are voluntary corps training in the farm law, and the township department asks for more privately, so there is always a fear."

"If we encounter this kind of forced expropriation again, it will not lead to a civil uprising."

"Your Majesty, this farm law is indeed not a panacea, but when the Commander goes to the countryside, if Lizheng and Chief Jia have anything to say, they can talk to the Commander and finally report to the Secretary of General Administration."

"At least it won't be as passive as it is now, will it?"

Zhu Qiyu looked at the martial arts lecture hall behind him, and said with a sigh: "You are right."

"There are still not enough officers in charge. I originally hoped that the Juren could help me with this matter, but the Juren didn't look down on this kind of officials at all. They wanted to be officials even more."

There have been five generals and commanding officers in the lecture hall, and there are no more than [-] commanding officers, which is just enough for Beizhili, Shanxi Xingdusi, Jing'an, and Fujian.

Where is there a lot of manpower?

Zhu Qiyu originally hoped that these juren could do something, but people like Shi Luo Bingzhong, the head of Xiangwang's mansion, were in the minority after all.

Sending these juren to the countryside, they incited the people instead, muddied the water, and made things worse.

Officials and officials are two completely different worlds.

Even if you are a ninth-rank official, you are still an official, not an official, and an official is not popular, and a scholar can act as an official.

In the final analysis, a township official is just an official, and he is not popular. People look down on them, even scholars.

The lack of a commander is also one of the difficulties of the farm law at present.

"Expand the enrollment?" Xing'an said tentatively: "Actually, the military students of the Confucian School of the Weisuo have participated in the farm law for a long time, replacing the old people in the past, teaching the common people to read and write, and they can actually serve as township officials."

Commanders have their own jobs, and they have errands in the Beijing camp, so there are always not enough commanders.

But military students are different.

Zhu Qiyu stroked his chin, hesitated and said, "Are you a military student?"

Ke Qian, the No. [-] scholar in the second year of Jingtai, was a military student. He studied in the Confucian School of the Weisuo, passed the Juren examination, and won the No. [-] scholar.
