Chapter 891
As a result, the next meeting process entered the next stage, which was the important case where Emperor Chongzhen was besieged by revenge after he intervened in the hegemony, and it was useless to show the Jinyiwei waist badge.

In this matter, Emperor Chongzhen never thought of going through the normal process, but cut through the mess quickly, directly announced the witness and material evidence, and then decreed that the main culprits, Chen Donghai and other principals and the people behind them The magistrate of Suzhou Prefecture, Tongzhi and other officials punished the nine ethnic groups, and the accomplices, that is, the more than 3000 mobs were all exiled for three thousand miles, all sent to the grassland, and thrown to Hong Chengchou's men to enrich the number of Han people.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that the prefect of Suzhou actually has no physical evidence of letters, but it can be confirmed from the confession that he is one of the backers.Besides, if something like this happened in Suzhou, the magistrate couldn't escape the responsibility.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was merciless and did not show mercy outside the law.

Following the emperor's decree, the captain of Jinyiwei and the Dongchang fan didn't care what other people thought. They just listened to the emperor alone and executed it immediately. They took the prisoner and killed a person not far from the side of the stage. rolling.

I have to say, this scene is still very shocking.In the nearly 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the scenes of conspiring against and punishing the nine clans are really rare.At this moment, the majesty of the imperial power was once again deeply engraved into the bones of these civil servants, generals, and ordinary people with individual heads.Especially the older ones, those who participated in the civil uprising in Suzhou before, feel deeply afraid.

If this matter were changed to the previous one, many officials on the stage would probably oppose it.They don't care about those common people. A big official like the magistrate will kill as soon as he says, or punish the nine clans. Under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, he must try to stop it as much as possible.Because they can be sure that if the magistrate knew that the emperor was in the house, he would not dare to do so if he borrowed 1 courage.

But this time, if the Jinyiwei cavalry hadn't arrived quickly, the emperor would have almost died in this private house.It is said that it was very dangerous at that time, and the mob smashed the door of the house and rushed in.If something like this happens, the emperor will still reason with you?Will I have the patience to discuss with you in detail whether the magistrate has the intention to seek rebellion?Believe it or not, the emperor in a rage directly classified you as one of his party?
Judging the situation and judging the situation, being wise and protecting one's life are also part of the officialdom. Therefore, all the officials present were as obedient as a mud bodhisattva, and no one dared to have an opinion.

Relying on this power, Emperor Chongzhen announced several more measures after the execution was over.

First, in the past, the government did not go to the countryside, and the villages agreed to self-government. There were too many disadvantages. Not only did the local tyrants and evil gentry oppress the villages, but they even dared to turn black and white and point a deer as a horse without the government. This must never happen again.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen decreed that township chiefs with more than [-] households should be appointed by the government, with eight ranks, and officials in different places.It is equivalent to setting up another chief official under the county magistrate.Below [-] households, it remains the same, and it is still about the length.Whether it is the head of the township or the head of the covenant, they all follow the rules of the township covenant.

This system, to put it bluntly, can be regarded as borrowing the administrative system of later generations.Townships with more than [-] households are similar to the concept of township in later generations; towns with less than [-] households are similar to villages in later generations.Of course, there are still many practical differences.But at least in this way, the government will go to the countryside!

With this decree, Daming will have an extra level of official position. If it is a township head like Nanxun Town, it is better than some county magistrates in low-level counties, which cheers up many officials.I don't know how many people have been selected as scholars, even Jinshi.But with one more level of officials, there will be more opportunities!Therefore, most people naturally welcome this will.

Of course, there are also those who are not happy.For example, local tyrants will be deprived of their interests, and there will be no local emperors to be emperors in the future.Although they can still make waves and make decisions about the township chief appointed by the court, they are not as good as before.

If this decree had been made in the past, it might have attracted a lot of opposition.After all, the situation has not changed for thousands of years, and there are conservative people.But now the emperor uses his personal experience to tell the world that this system is very necessary.Whoever opposes it doesn't care about the suffering of the people in the countryside.

Second, it is another very innovative will.At the township level, that is, in towns with more than [-] households, a children's school must be established.Anyone who wants to be a child student must study in a children's school for one full year and obtain a certificate of completion before taking the child examination.As for school fees, take care of yourself!

According to the original intention of Emperor Chongzhen, the best course is compulsory education, and all children are concentrated in schools, so that they can not only read and write, but also carry out ideological education from an early age.However, reality is greater than ideal.It is impossible for the current imperial court to come up with this money.With no other choice, I had to use this alternative method for the time being.

The reason why this alternative plan is used is because those who want to become Tongsheng are naturally the youngest in the study floor.Of course, those weird ones are not ruled out, and they will not be able to pass the exam as a child student when they are too old.In this way, at least in the current situation, the youngest bookboys with the greatest possibility can get together.

Then, Emperor Chongzhen also had other plans for the subjects in the children's school, that is, to teach him for a year from the beginning of enlightenment, and not to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.In other words, the best choice for children from rich families is to put their children's enlightenment in children's schools, so as not to waste a year.So in this year, it was the year when Shushulang was brainwashed when he was the youngest.Let them sing the national anthem, display the national flag, recognize the concept of the country, and be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

When the imperial court has enough money in the future, on the basis of this, it can become a free school, and even subsidize the children's families, so that all children can receive this year's reading, literacy and brainwashing.If you have more money, you can go further, anyway, you can gradually start compulsory education.

This plan can be said to be the most cost-effective one.The government only needs to give out a piece of land and conscript some civilians to repair the school buildings. This is basically no cost to the government.As for the teachers, you can just leave the talented people from the county school to be teachers for a period of time, and you can make the best use of them.

Of course, this plan can only be implemented on the basis of the reform of the village contract system.After all, if it was changed before, the government only went to the county level, and it would be a bit beyond the reach of such things.

The last decree is also interlinked with the previous decree, and it is used to solve the problems found in this visit to Jiangnan.
