Chapter 1020 Reusing Tian Wenjing

"Cabinet Attendant Bachelor, Chen Tian Wenjing, I respectfully invite Sheng An."

"That's it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Come on, give me a seat."

"Yes." Yan Lin, the head of the Qianqing Palace, hurriedly moved a brocade stool for Tian Wenjing.

Tian Wenjing, who was born as a supervisor, is over sixty years old, and he is only a fourth-rank cabinet servant studying for a bachelor.

Who would have thought that less than ten days after his ascension to the throne, the new monarch summoned Tian Wenjing alone and gave him a seat.

Tears welled up in Tian Wenjing's eyes, and he choked up and said, "Thanks to the grace of the emperor, I feel deeply guilty, and I wish I could not be married..." He said a lot of words of gratitude.

Yuzhu looked at Tian Wenjing calmly, he knew better than anyone else that Tian Wenjing was a cruel official.

The old emperor didn't like cruel officials, so he never reused Tian Wenjing.

Now, Yuzhu is going to implement four reform measures in the south of the Yangtze River, that is, the integration of gentry and gentry to pay food for errands;

Li Jiapo is also a family, but Li Jiapo's high salary and honesty are also very successful.

In Lijiapo, it took decades to see a corrupt official, and Yuzhu wanted this effect.

"Yi Guang, I have just ascended the throne, and I am determined to reform, reform the government and the economy, I wonder if you are willing to help me?" Yu Zhu was too busy to talk nonsense.

Anyway, if Tian Wenjing dared to risk his life to carry out reforms, Yuzhu would immediately promote him.

If he wants to play tricks, then I'm sorry, and he will go back where he came from.

"I would like to do my best to serve the emperor's kindness." Tian Wenjing is not stupid, good luck is fleeting, if you don't catch it, you will be the number one fool in Tianzi.

"Okay, then you go to Suzhou and act as the chief envoy of Jiangsu. You must thoroughly sort out Jiangsu's economy." Yu Zhu unequivocally promoted Tian Wenjing.

Tian Wenjing was aggrieved for most of his life, and finally won the appreciation of the new king, and the touching emotions in his heart gushed out in an instant.

"Returning to the emperor, I am not afraid of mountains of swords and seas of fire and thousands of cuts. Even if it is in the crevices of rocks, I will definitely squeeze oil out." Tian Wenjing's words were extremely vulgar.

However, this is what Yu Zhu wanted.

"Minister... woo woo woo..." Tian Wenjing, who was about to retire from office, actually rejuvenated his second political career, and fell to the ground in front of the imperial court and cried loudly.

Yuzhu wants to use Tian Wenjing, a cruel official, as an example, so naturally he won't treat him badly.

I saw that Yuzhu stepped down from the throne, holding a big handkerchief in his own hand, and wiped away Tian Wenjing's tears.

Tian Wenjing was overjoyed on the spot, with his mouth open, completely at a loss.

Yu Zhu insisted on doing good deeds to the end, and helped Tian Wenjing wipe his old face clean.

"Why are you crying? I just like you, a serious old official like you. Now go to Jiangsu, let's go and do it. If you encounter any troubles, you can send them to Qianqing Palace in secret." Yuzhu is not afraid of Tian Wenjing offending others, but afraid that he will be timid Don't dare to be cruel to the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

With Yuzhu's support, Tian Wenjing was originally ruthless, but now he really is, not afraid of anything!

When parting, Yuzhu said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will never let you have no good results."

"Yes." Tian Wenjing wasted decades of time, and once he got the opportunity to let go of his ambition, he answered so loudly that even the guards standing at the gate of the palace felt numb in their ears.

After Tian Wenjing left, another old acquaintance came in.

"Hubu Langzhong, minister Li Wei, I respectfully invite Shengan!"

"You Jie, come, sit here." Yuzhu pointed to the opposite side of the table above the kang, and affectionately beckoned Li Wei to sit over.

The real Li Wei in history, a native of Tongshan, Xuzhou, had a thousand hectares of fertile land in his family, so he donated a Yuanwailang who would make up for the vacancy if he had money.

You must know that in the former Qing Dynasty, officials who donated their background usually had to wait a long time to pay enough money before they could make up for the real shortage.

Li Wei's family had a lot of money, and within a month of donating an official, he became a real-time member of the Ministry of War, Wailang.

In less than two years, Li Wei was recommended by his superiors to become a doctor of the household department because of his meritorious service, and was appreciated by the fourth child.

This created a miracle in the donation class!

After the fourth child became a rebel, Li Wei originally thought that disaster was imminent.

However, Yuzhu has never liquidated Li Wei's crime of being attached to the fourth child.

Although Li Wei was not a Jinshi, he has read a lot of books.It's just that he is very wise and stupid, and he often pretends to be illiterate on purpose.

Since Yuzhu asked him to sit opposite, Li Wei did not hesitate, and immediately sat opposite the emperor.

"You Jie, everything in the past has been erased, let's start over." Yuzhu smiled and forgave Li Wei's crime of treason.

If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely kneel down and thank him.

However, Li Wei is not an ordinary person. He pondered for a moment, then whispered: "Whatever the emperor asks the minister to do, the minister will do."

These words are extremely vulgar, but Yu Zhu likes to hear this kind of truth that is not exaggerated.

If a felony is forgiven, there must be some meritorious service, right?

Li Wei is a very sensible person.

Yuzhu said with a straight face: "The salt administration in Lianghuai is becoming more and more corrupt. In the early years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, more than 1000 million taels of silver could be handed over every year. However, last year the Ministry of Households only collected 700 million taels of silver. Time to check it out."

Li Wei understood in a second, and he was really needed for Dare.

Therefore, Li Wei said without hesitation: "If the emperor uses the minister, if the minister dares to use the head of the whole family as a guarantee, he will definitely investigate the salt affairs in Lianghuai."

Yuzhu's heart is very satisfied, talking to a smart person, it is so bright!

"Okay then, you can go to Zhejiang and act as the governor of Zhejiang and the salt transport envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces to rectify the salt affairs for me."

As long as the salt business is mentioned, Yuzhu will get angry.

The salt business was monopolized by the imperial court, but the money received by the imperial court went from bad to worse, while salt officials and salt merchants became richer and richer.

In the past, these were all the old emperor's money, and Yu Zhu didn't bother to take care of them.

Now that the whole world belongs to Yuzhu, he will naturally kill a group of salt mice, ransack their homes, eunuch their cubs, and sell their wives and concubines.

In fact, as long as it is a government-run monopoly business, it has become the backyard of the rats.

Basically, the government-run monopoly business is often passed down from ancestor to son, son to grandson, grandson to grandson, and the continuous loss of public and private interests is endless!

It is very common for a fat job to be passed down for five generations!

Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption campaign seems to be very relieved, but in fact, it is completely unsustainable.

Because the upright official Hai Rui is neither greedy nor appropriative, but he can't even afford meat.

There is only one Hai Rui, and there are at least 3 officials across the country.

Therefore, it is essential to raise a clean bank.

Of course, the high expenses of officials are also inseparable from the ostentation of traveling.

This is an objective reality and must be acknowledged.

It costs a lot of money to raise four to eight bearers, horses, coachmen, and guards of honor.

Let people who don't want to be greedy have the ability not to be greedy, this is the focus of anti-corruption!

Don't dare to be greedy, can't be greedy, don't want to be greedy, if you are greedy, you will be caught, you can't be impatient, you can only take it slowly!

Li Wei has the air of a bachelor.

Yuzhu asked him to have lunch together, but he unceremoniously ate three bowls of rice in a row, and even ate most of the food.

Unlike the emperors of the former Qing Dynasty, Yuzhu's daily meals were actually very simple, with at most eight dishes and one soup, and usually six dishes and one soup.

Through Li Wei's vulgar behavior, Yuzhu saw what Li Wei really wanted to express.

Since Yuzhu let the past go, then Li Wei will go all out, he really dares to block people's way of making money regardless of his life.

Since ancient times, the sale of private salt has always been closely linked with sophisticated weapons and numerous party members.

Without severe violence, how dare you traffic in illegal salt in broad daylight?

Don't forget, Huang Chao, the great salt owl, is a fighter among the salt dealers!

After Li Wei left, Ertai came in.

Ertai, surnamed Xilinjueluo, styled Yi'an, Manchurian in Xianglan Banner, son of Ebai, the former Imperial Academy of Jijiu.

Yuzhu's employment is completely different from that of Principal Chang who only uses Zhejiang people.

As long as you are talented, Yu Zhu dares to use you, no matter you are a bannerman or a Han Chinese.

Why did the brick imperial power eventually lose to the republic?

The root problem is that under the imperial power system, even if there are British lords, there are more mediocre lords.

When a mediocre ruler governs the country, the incompetent will inevitably be reused, forming a vicious circle of reverse elimination.

Those who are in power are mediocre, and over time, the country will fail.

The most obvious example is Emperor Daoguang in history.

Emperor Daoguang himself was incapable of governing the country, but he was afraid that the ministers would look down on him, so he always picked out the words in the memorial and made a big fuss on purpose, appearing extra petty.

After Yuzhu destroyed the two countries in the two wars, the reform of the Western Regions and the Snowy Regions was put on the agenda.

The Ming Dynasty fought against Mongolia, and if it was defeated, it could not be occupied, which was tantamount to wasting national power in vain.

Yuzhu's basic national policy for the Western Regions is mainly to immigrate to the frontier, and to cultivate half-soldiers and half-farmers, so as to truly be self-sufficient.

Of course, Yuzhu was born late, so he must have more foresight than Zhu Chongba.

When Zhu Chongba established the military household reclamation system, he completely ignored the fact that the population of military households continued to increase, but there was only so much land.

How to do it?

Yuzhu must have a solution.

If you want to place the green battalion soldiers in the Western Regions and guard the frontier with peace of mind, you must solve their worries.

In addition to the permanent tax exemption, the extra members of the immigrant families from the Western Regions were all arranged by the imperial court to arrange errands.

There are many kinds of specific errands.

For example, the police stationed in the colony, the sheriff, the land allocated to the colony, and so on.

The military households and vassal clans in the former Ming Dynasty, and the Eight Banners Yu Ding Xianhan in the former Qing Dynasty have not been well resolved. After a long time, the accumulation will be hard to return.

Yuzhu is different. The vast colonies of Asia and Oceania are in the final window of occupation.

Talent is needed everywhere, to take up territory!

Think about it, the Philippine Islands, the Java Islands, the super island of Australia, the Indochina Peninsula, and the Indian Peninsula, what a vast territory?

I'm not afraid of crowds, but I'm afraid I won't be able to venture out!
