Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Even the sage Confucius said - there are only two kinds of Confucianism:

Or a gentleman and a Confucian;

Or the villain is a Confucian scholar.

Gentleman and Confucianism...

Anyone who dares to call himself a gentleman is a saint.

Throughout the ages, there are only those five saints...

Oh no!

Didn’t there still be that one and a half later...

Uh……

Among those semi-saints, isn’t there a dust collector?

They are all taught well by saints!

This is called teaching by words and deeds...

As for other Confucian scholars——

The sages and teachers have all said it - they are all villains!

These Confucian scholars are just villains!

How could the words of the Holy Master be wrong?

This was decided by the Confucian ancestors.

Since he is a villain...

What's wrong with knocking on the bones and sucking out the marrow?

This is the inheritance of the master!

This is the root of Confucianism's "people need worms".

What is "official"?

Official word - two mouths wearing a hat.

The mouth opposite, big things are reduced to trivial matters, the mouth blocked by hundreds of talkers!

The mouth opposite, a trivial matter turns into a big deal, three gluttonous mouths that talk a hundred things!

……

Chief Wang has been a junior chief for so many years, so he has some understanding of the county government.

The annual tax that Song County paid to the emperor was only three to five hundred taels of silver.

And the taxes paid to the Yamen amounted to more than 60 real gold and silver!

This is not to mention the filial piety of the merchants in the county...

This is really true for the beggars of the Zhu family to indulge in the wind and drink, while the officials enjoy the hot and spicy food!

It's okay, I still want gold and silver, and I want to smash a few "pure servants" for fun...

More than 60 taels of silver!

Just like Song County - a poor place with less than half of the land per capita!

Where did this money come from?

Aren’t the hard-working people down there risking their lives to fight for the wealth and wealth for the great master!

They don't work hard...

What should I marry the eldest master’s concubine No. 18?

The land that the eldest man bought in his hometown is enough to build Zhuangzi. What will the eldest brother give to his overseas "country"...?

Catfish made it very clear - his family has nine figures!

That’s it, he’s not yet a county magistrate!

They are just subordinates under the county magistrate!

They are all provided with leeks...

……

Wang Jiachang took a deep breath.

He understands the ways of officialdom.

Chen Ding, Chen County Lord, who is sitting in front of him, understands better!

but--

He is just a armor commander...

Although the nail length has been super-edited dozens or hundreds of times, the nail length is still helpless.

When the government collects taxes, it is the village elders from various townships who come after them!

The village elder asked the village chief. Who did the village chief look for?

It’s not like they are little armor-bearers!

If a family is poor and cannot come up with the money to pay taxes, he, the commander, will have to pay for it himself!

If he can't make up for it and the big boss signs it off at the same time, he will be taken to the county government office and put in big shackles!

If the big yoke is put on and the family still doesn't send money, then send people to demolish the house, pull the cattle, catch the mother...

As a county magistrate, there are many ways to make you surrender...

He is Bailihou!

At that time, even he himself was busy making money all day long, so how could he help others?

Wang Jiachang remembered that year...

Not very emotional.

Who doesn’t want to be a good official?

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!

He wanted to avoid being scolded on his spine...

However, if others do not point at his spine and scold him, the whole family will tighten their belts and point at his nose and scold him when they are hungry...

It’s hard to be a village official!

now--

Finally done!

People can all go to work, earn money, and buy food.

In order to facilitate management, he, the commander, naturally leads the team.

According to the new official position prescribed by His Majesty, he, the armor commander, is a ninth-grade official!

Officials are not part of the official system!

The system to which civil servants belong is the Taxation Department.

The generals of the Taxation Department are all transferred from the army.

The two big guys who took the lead were the generals who led the peasant army to surrender.

Such people, because of their origin, can only rely on imperial power.

Only the emperor can preserve their glory and wealth!

In other words, the bosses of the tax department must become the emperor's sword in order to have a bright future!

The department in charge of taxation is Dongchang.

Even the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, which has regained its real power, can't control them!

People - directly under the imperial power system!

Not to mention the Ministry of War within the civil servant system.

Long live the Ministry of War system and block it within the official system!

- Officials can be promoted to officials, but officials cannot be transferred to official positions!

This is the iron law set by the emperor!

It's painted on the walls in the village...

……

Since the dramatic changes in Jiashen and the emperor's move to the Han capital, the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy was divided into three parts.

Civil servant system - cabinet, six ministries, provinces, prefectures and counties.

The military commander system - the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the Border Town Governor's Mansion, combat soldiers, garrison soldiers, and patrol soldiers.

The imperial power system - Dongchang, Jinyiwei, taxation, and officials.

Independent of these three major systems are the emperor's privately owned military industry, civilian industry, heavy industry, and university towns...

As well as the Handu merchant group, in which the emperor held a dominant position, and its various factories and workshops.

The boundary is intertwined with each other and is the system of nine temples.

That is, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Weiwei Temple, Zongzheng Temple, Taipu Temple, Honglu Temple, Sinong Temple, and Taifu Temple.

To put it simply:

It is to unify the civil rights in the cabinet, and this system is the world of literati - the imperial power system supervision.

However, the governance of civil rights rests with the officials - this is within the imperial power system.

The power to govern the military lies with the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion, and this system is the domain of nobles and nobles - the supervision of the imperial power system.

The financial power lies in the imperial power system - the poor people in the world are the foundation, and those civil servants who dare to interfere will die!

This is the separation of powers that Zhu Youjian is promoting.

Each other's authority is clear, and at the same time, the countermeasure systems are multiple and intertwined.

The most important thing is that when the emperor clearly supported the common people's resistance to unjust officials, he tied the largest number of common people to the imperial power.

This is the power of the common people to "respect the king and fight against corruption" and to resist unjust officials!

In other words - the top and bottom of the pyramid are complementary to each other.

In order to ensure the last point, Zhu Youjian deliberately painted every village he could manage——

"Edict of the Emperor of Heaven:

In privately owned legal land and houses, people have unlimited rights of self-defense.

Hooligans, bandits, unjust officials... oppress the people and kill without guilt!

This order, the iron law of the Ming Dynasty, is sacred and inviolable and cannot be changed forever! "

"Edict of the Emperor of Heaven:

The administrative staff is subordinate to the Taxation Department. Officials have the right to write requests for cooperation but have no right to force apportionment.

If any official violates the rules, the official should immediately report it to the local tax department and anti-corruption bureau.

If it is verified that the case is true, the official who first reported the case and the official who made the greatest contribution to the report will be promoted from 1 to 9 levels, depending on the size of the case.

If the whistleblower does not receive a response from the Department of Taxation and the Anti-Corruption Bureau within fifteen days, he should report it to the Information Agency.

If the Information Agency does not respond within fifteen days, it should be reported to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and a secret report should be sent to the Emperor.

If government agencies or private officials violently suppress you, you will not be charged with murder!

If the Mizu people are attacked and persecuted, if the Mizu people or the people related to the Mizu are injured or disabled, then the three tribes of Yi and the Nine tribes will be exiled for thirty thousand miles;

If the person who played the secret music, or someone related to the secret music, dies, the nine Yi tribes and those who are interested in it will be exiled for thirty thousand miles and will never be pardoned!

This order, the iron law of the Ming Dynasty, is sacred and inviolable and cannot be changed forever. "
