Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

In short, it was just a bunch of messes, Xu Xianchun and Cao Huachun didn't dare to leave Nanzhili lightly for a while, for fear of making some monsters again.

And Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, had the same headache.

The impact of the Jiangnan officialdom earthquake this time is definitely not limited to the superficial point, and its impact is far-reaching, and may even last for several years or even ten years.

Not to mention too much, officials alone are a big problem.

Nearly [-]% of the officials in the entire Jiangnan officialdom were killed directly, and thousands of officials, big and small, were killed in Nanjing alone.

It's easy to kill people, just drag it to the execution ground and wipe it with a knife, the head will fall off from the neck and then a little blood will be sprayed, and the job will be over.

But what about the mess left by these people?Someone has to clean up, right?

If it was possible, or if these people were more knowledgeable and interesting, Emperor Chongzhen would not choose to directly kill everyone.

At least take it slow.

But it was these people's ignorance that completely angered Emperor Chongzhen, who made him order to remove these garbage regardless of his care.

Now that the rubbish has been removed, someone has to fill the gap created.

After securing the first batch of more than 1000 official positions in Nanjing, the official secretary Fang Zhuangli said that I would quit facing nearly [-] official positions in the entire south of the Yangtze River.

This time, more than 1000 official positions were vacant, and almost all the reservists in the capital who were still walking in the eight departments were wiped out, and all of them were filled with real vacancies.

Then tell me now there are nearly ten thousand gaps?

Don't be ridiculous, you are the emperor, you are awesome, you have the ability to conjure officials out?

Emperor Chongzhen was annoyed and funny when he looked at Fang Zhuangli, who was a bit of a rascal.

I am the emperor and I am awesome, that's for sure, but I tell you clearly, I can't change so many qualified officials!

Even if it is not enough to increase the number of admissions of Chunwei in Chongzhen 13 years, unless it is not based on grades, as long as you have participated in Chunwei, there is only a slight possibility of admission!

However, this is useless, because it is simply impossible.

After pondering for a long while, Emperor Chongzhen finally said: "Since this is the case, the issue of county lieutenants in various places should be resolved first."

As soon as he heard Chongzhen's words, Fang Zhuangli suddenly felt a pain in his egg.

The official position of county lieutenant can be said to be low-level, responsible for the security of a county and the work of arresting thieves, and the rank is below the county magistrate.

Moreover, this dynasty did not have this position originally, or the correct name of this position should be Canon History, but I don't know what the Emperor Chongzhen was up to, so he had to change it back to the title of County Captain.

Of course, it's just a title, and no one would compete with the emperor on such a trivial matter, so it was up to Emperor Chongzhen to change it.

The problem is, since Emperor Chongzhen said that he wanted to give priority to solving the vacancy of the county lieutenant, he must have a certain plan, or the possibility of doing something is higher.

Sure enough, what Emperor Chongzhen said next made Fang Zhuangli feel even more painful: "The post of county lieutenant is related to people's livelihood. I intend to let the veterans in the guards retire to serve as county lieutenant and chief catcher."

Seeing that Fang Zhuangli was going to speak up to object, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand directly: "Fang Aiqing is not in a hurry to object.

There are many benefits to letting these veterans retire to serve as county lieutenants.

First, these veterans are used to fighting, even if they are faced with any murder, they will not be stage fright, like a civil servant serving as a county lieutenant.

Second, it is precisely because these people are veterans that they can manage, train and arrest fast according to the system of the guards, and it can also make the common people feel more at ease, right?

The third is to solve the headache of veterans placement in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. At the very least, Duke Cheng and Duke Ying have to think of you, don't they? "

Fang Zhuangli really wanted to say yes.

The first reason is valid, and the second reason is just bullshit - the county government officials and arresters are all people with families and families, and if they are managed according to the mode of guards, there are still people in the world Are you willing to be the catcher and yamen servant?

As for the third article, I'm afraid it is the most fundamental purpose of your old man, right?

By arranging these veterans of the guards to serve as county lieutenants in various parts of Ming Dynasty, the most basic force organization will be in the hands of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, or in other words, it will be in your own hands!

But after weighing things up and down, Fang Zhuangli also had to admit that this is the fastest solution, at least in the shortfall of nearly [-] people, because this method can remove about [-] people.

What about the remaining eight thousand?

Emperor Chongzhen laughed lightly, and said, "I'll choose from among the veteran officials.

The Ministry of Officials will set the test, the chief secretary, and the county magistrate. Anyone who has worked for more than three years can take the exam. Those who pass can be promoted to the county magistrate. "

Fang Zhuangli thought about it and said, "If that's the case, what about the other officials who have been promoted?"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said: "It's still the same as before, go to the various ministries first, and then release it outside after passing the experience.

If these scholars who have just left the books are directly placed in official positions, it will not be good for them, but will harm them, and there is even a possibility that they will be ostracized by the old officials. become waste. "

Fang Zhuangli was left behind, and Emperor Chongzhen directly summoned the Minister of Rites, Meng Shaoyu, into the palace.

The imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty really came to a time when it should be changed.

Of course, what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to change was not to change it directly from the root, but to tear a hole little by little first.

For example, first make Enke a routine, and then change the Chunwei Kewei to every two years?

Otherwise, these officials will always be insufficient, which is also a big problem.

As for the future, is it difficult to slowly let go of the second hole after the first hole?

Take your time!

Faced with Emperor Chongzhen's plan to change the imperial examination from once every three years to once every two years, Fang Zhuangli instinctively wanted to express his opposition.

The reason is very simple, if it is not intended to kill the existing officials in large numbers, the number of people who have passed the examination once every three years is basically enough, and there is even a surplus.

But after careful consideration, Fang Zhuangli gave up his plan to persuade Emperor Chongzhen.

Regardless of whether the age limit for the imperial examination is changed now, Emperor Chongzhen will not be lenient in beheading people.

Instead of having a headache because there are too few people and not enough people like now, it is better to increase the number of these officials, so that I can worry less by then.

As for Meng Shaoyu, he has no such worries at all.

Emperor Chongzhen often prescribes Enke, which is extra, not a routine, and this kind of thing has nothing to do with him.

But if you change the fixed three-year imperial examination to two years, then it is your own political achievements.

Regardless of whether the Emperor Chongzhen always cut people down and caused insufficient officials, it will not have any impact on this point.

At the very least, scholars in this world have to think of their own good, right?

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down his excitement, Meng Shaoyu bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise. If the three-year period is changed to two years, it will not only solve the trouble of frequent enco Solved the problem of talent shortage in Ming Dynasty.”
