Chapter 337 Hai Rui Has a Son

Chapter 337 Hai Rui Has a Son

It may be because of his father's early death that Hai Rui has a deeper understanding of human nature, or it may be because he has been an official at the grassroots level for a long time. Therefore, although he is a member of the landlord class, like Zhu Yuanzhang, he has a deep understanding of the powerful officials of his class. Gentlemen are never afraid to speculate with the greatest malice, and even naturally believe that powerful officials and gentry are worse than ordinary people, so they often favor ordinary people when they are in power.

so that.

He has always advocated the restoration of the strict bureaucratic government of the Hongwu Dynasty.

And it's the same now, Hai Rui instinctively regards the dignitaries, officials and their children as the biggest destroyers of the new post road policy.

In his view, once these people use the post station, the local officials in charge of the post station cannot control these people because of their low rank and power. money, and even be blackmailed by him a lot.

However, not everyone was as hostile towards bureaucrats of the same class as Hai Rui.

Most bureaucrats, including these enlightened civil servants in front of Zhu Yijun, still have more favorable impressions than dislikes of the powerful bureaucrats of their own class, and they are generally considered to be gentlemen, who know the etiquette and morality, and do not care about small profits, or even He refused to owe post fees on credit.

Even the great scholar Pan Sheng couldn't bear it, and at this moment he stood up resolutely, expressed his objection, and said:

"Da Sinong is too contemptuous of princes, officials and gentry, and thinks that they are not as good as ordinary people in the country's righteousness. This is a paradox!"

"From my point of view, most of the princes, officials and gentry understand righteousness through reading. In addition, none of them are poor. If they know the way, they are rich and know how to be courteous. How can this damage the post road new policy proposed by His Majesty?"

"His Majesty!"

"It is not a minister who speaks nonsense. The mistake of governing the world is often to hope that the rich and noble will abide by the righteousness and understand friendship, and think that they can not be punished with severe punishments and strict laws; but they think that the small people value profit over justice and are easy to be unreasonable;"

"It's actually the opposite!"

"This dynasty is a state of etiquette, so even small people know courtesy and virtue, and the reason why they are not expensive is that they value righteousness and despise profit. Otherwise, they would have already become rich by cheating or self-deprecating their status. Get rich for slaves;"

"As for the rich and noble, either they are distinguished because they despise righteousness and value profit, or even though their family style is upright, they will inevitably be seduced by slaves. There is a way to follow evil like collapse and do good like climbing. They can truly stick to the bottom line and grow up." There are few people who have power and do not do evil!"

"The old minister asks your majesty to guard against the villain first and then the gentleman. You must guard against the fact that these powerful officials and gentry are easy to use the post station and owe the post fee on credit!"

"Otherwise, although His Majesty's government is convenient for the people, it will be a burden on the country's wealth, and the country's wealth is taken from the people, and it will eventually be a burden on the people!"

Hai Rui eloquently talked about his own opinions, and then looked at Pan Sheng: "Mr. Ge is not a local, so he doesn't know the evil of the rich. They are always honest and polite in front of such powerful people as Mr. Ge. It is beneficial, but in front of the public interest and the people's wealth, it is like a gluttonous ear!"

Pan Sheng turned to look at Zhu Yijun and said, "Your Majesty! According to what Da Sinong said, what's the use of reading and knowing etiquette? It's wrong to know etiquette even if you tell the truth!"

"People's desires are hard to suppress, and rich people know benevolence. From my point of view, they are all reasonable. Partial beliefs are useless, and simultaneous listening is often enlightened."

Zhu Yijun smiled and talked about his views at this moment.

It looks like a mess, but it's true.

Human nature is sometimes less certain than the movement of particles in terms of good and evil, but for a group, everyone is rich and knowledgeable, which will increase the difficulty of internal strife, making it difficult for people in this group to do evil internally. Increased difficulty.

Zhu Yijun also knew that even if the ruling minister he appointed was already a selected enlightened faction, there would still inevitably be disputes over specific policies.

But disputes are a good thing, and some truths need to be fought to understand better.

It's better than pushing and attracting each other in a friendly atmosphere in the court, while stabbing each other behind the scenes.

So, after Zhu Yijun said that, all the officials bowed their hands respectfully to Zhu Yijun and said yes, and then sat back.

At this time, Zhu Yijun looked at Hai Rui and said: "What Da Si Nong said is actually not unreasonable, and I have thought about it, but in my opinion, you can't give up eating because of choking, and don't do things for the convenience of the people. The key is that the court must be upright in governing. It is understandable to borrow money for a while, but if it reaches a certain level, and even when the income is beyond the means, the debt should be pursued."

"The Ministry of War is responsible for the management of the Tianxia Station, and the Ministry of Households has added an audit department to be responsible for auditing the total money and food accounts of the Tianxia Station. If it fails to match, it has the right to ask the imperial court to order the Ministry of War to send troops to collect debts."

"When this decree is issued, it must be clearly stated that the Ministry of Households should regularly check the accounts and collect debts together with the Ministry of War. scientific research and expulsion of honors and titles."

"In short, I am not afraid of the debts of the common people, but I am afraid that they will not be able to bring income to the country if they do not spend money in advance and then know how to seek money diligently."

Zhu Yijun said.

Shen Shixing got up at this time and said: "Now that His Majesty's holy candle is shining, and the whole court is full of fierce officials, it is appropriate to carry out this policy. If it is really inappropriate in the future, civilian use of official posts can be banned again."

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "Then let's make an order!"

Hai Rui didn't object anymore.

Of course, everyone knew that with Hai Rui serving as Minister of the Household Department for a day, the world's rich and powerful officials might not dare to mess around on the post road for a day.

It is worth mentioning that because Zhu Yijun raised the salaries of hundreds of officials by means of rewards, and Hai Rui has now become a public servant, so he earns a lot of money, and even his concubine Lu Shi gave him a son because of this. Because of the increase in income, the fat and white child raised by Hai Rui should not die young again in this life.

Hai Rui also has children, and he is more interested in serving the country and the people, so he is not polite to attack other ministers in the court.

Turn the words back.

After that, Zhu Yijun drafted a decree for the whole country in order to serve the imperial court, to follow the emperor Taizu's idea of ​​"nourishing the people to change the outdated government" and "according to the wishes of the saints and the people to promote the prosperity of the people and the stability of the country." "For the reason, the road guide system was abolished, and the addresses of migrant workers and homeless people from all over the country were registered, and those who did not have addresses could register the addresses of relatives and friends in the place where they were located, so that the government could visit them, and the prohibition of official posts was loosened. Chi Yi.

At this point, Daming abolished the guide system, and began to actively encourage population movement in the name of the government.

For this reason, the Ministry of War also asked for the establishment of a post administration department. The car driving department was no longer in charge of post administration, but only in charge of chariot and horse administration. The post administration department was responsible for document mailing and post station management.

In this way, the court's shackles on the people of the country will undoubtedly be reduced a lot, and it will promote the development of the commodity economy.

Migrant workers recruited on various construction sites are no longer refugees without government protection.

Half a month later, in Huai'an City, Fengtian was the governor's yamen.

"Reporting to the nursing home, these are newly arrested paper-making refugees in the mountains, how do you think they should be dealt with?"

Xu Shengwen, the commander-in-chief of the Standard Battalion, escorted hundreds of foreign nationals to Lu Kun, the governor of Fengyang, on this day.

Lu Kunyin received from the imperial court: "All the ties will be released, and the family property will be returned! All the origin and address will be registered, the residence permit will be issued, and the damage will be compensated by the government according to the price."

After hearing this, the people who were escorted suddenly changed their faces from anger to disbelief, and then they were overjoyed.

"Is the old man really going to return the paper workshop to us?"

At this time, a refugee named Chen Jiuzhu couldn't help but ask for confirmation.
