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

Ah!

Maybe, they will answer like this——

"Young man, be attentive~

Be serious~

Don’t learn to draw, don’t learn to write poetry, don’t learn miscellaneous things...

That thing can't be used as an official, so studying it is of no use! "

……

I thought about it again and again, but still couldn't figure it out.

I think this problem only applies to those oligarchs who patted their chests and promised the Mao people that "I am a patriotic businessman"...

Only then can they answer.

……

Duke Yansheng of the Most Holy Master's family arrived. Dorgon, who had just suffered two defeats and even the capital was surrounded, naturally did not dare to neglect him.

Not long after, Dorgon's personal attendants Zhan Dai and Suk Saha arrived with Feng Quan and others.

In order to show his closeness to Kong Yinzhi, Sun Zhixian, a Shandong fellow from Yan Shenggong, was brought along.

The meeting at the city gate can really only be described with one scene -

The beasts bow to the beasts.

They all have shaved heads, a small mane behind their foreheads, and the patches on their clothes are embroidered with various birds and animals.

Kong Yinzhi rushed to the ground before anyone came, and fell to his knees with a pop.

Behind him, all the direct descendants of the Kong family knelt down.

"Kong Yinzhi, the remnant of the former dynasty's criminals, pays homage to the master!

My lord, I kowtow to you! "

Kong Yinzhi called him "Dad" very kindly.

Kong Yinzhi's fat head banged against the hard bluestone again.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

The slate that was not easy to knock with the hooves of an animal was knocked out by him, making a clear sound of gold bricks.

Lao Gao's forehead, which was already bruised and swollen, immediately started to see blood.

Kong Yinzhi’s head was buzzing...

But he held on to his dizziness and held the ceremony very respectfully.

If it hadn't been for the incident with Ao'er Dusi, Zhan Dai and Suk Saha might not have looked at Kong Yinzhi favorably.

but--

Isn’t the Qing Kingdom in danger?

Kong Yinzhi, the eldest son of the Most Holy Master’s family, Yanshenggong, is here!

This is a good slave who is most beneficial to our Qing Dynasty!

How can you make someone lie on the ground and kowtow like a dog?

"Cough cough!"

Zhan Dai coughed lightly and pretended to be a step too slow. After Kong Yinzhi saluted, he quickly stepped forward.

He and Sukhasa, one on the left and the other on the right, lifted Kong Yinzhi up:

"Oh, Mr. Yansheng, you are too small.

How can I deserve such a big gift from you? "

"Feng Quan, help me stand up quickly.

Me~!

I want to give one to my husband too.

We can't bear the gift from my husband!

If the emperor's father, the regent, and the master find out, why don't you skin me? "

Zhan Dai and Suk Saha pretended to kneel down and kowtow to Kong Yinzhi.

How dare Kong Yinzhi let his noble master kneel down for him.

He quickly held their hands:

"The two masters have embarrassed the younger one!

The boy is just indebted to his ancestor Yu Ze and relying on his ancestor's blessing to have a bowl of food.

How can I deserve such a gift from my two masters? "

He was already over 50 years old, but he was groveling to two young men in their twenties.

He even calls himself young...

He even called him dad...

Although Kong Yinzhi said this softly.

There is a threat inside and out.

——I am a descendant of the most holy master, I am the head of the Kong family, and I am the core of Confucianism in the world.

I am here to apologize this time, and all the Confucian scholars in the world are watching!

Don't kill me...

I have the blessings of all the Confucian scholars in the world!

……

Zhan Dai and Suk Saha didn't understand. There was no reaction on their faces.

I don’t know if Kong Yinzhi is playing the piano to a donkey by beating around the bush...

But Feng Quan and Sun Zhixie understood.

only……

Although Feng Quan was the leader of the Northern Party in the court, he also understood his situation.

This Qing Dynasty...

Really inappropriate!

The men knelt on the ground and carried them into the prison...

This damn Aixinjueluo family puts up their trousers and refuses to recognize anyone.

Damn it, in the Ming Dynasty, I would kill the emperor if I wanted to.

When we came to the Qing Dynasty, we didn’t even have any fucking rights!

Not only were the top leaders of the various powerful departments of the imperial court, they were also members of the Eight Banners nobles.

Even the official positions at all levels below must be given full-time positions by the Eight Banners.

Only the deputy who worked was left to them.

That's it……

He doesn't have any decision-making power at all.

Not only does everything depend on the master's face, but he also has to pay homage to the money he finally robbed from the Zhu family from time to time...

Bitter!

Forget it, the point is, Dorgon's political methods are too ruthless!

Not only does it restrict them, it also divides them from each other.

For example, high-level officials such as Hong Chengchou and Jin Zhijun are all from the south.

These ministers who entered the customs and followed the dragon not only had to fight against the new generation of party leaders in the south, Chen Mingxia, but also suffered suppression from Fan Wencheng and others.

……

Feng Quan knew his situation.

Although he is the leader of the Northern Party, under this strange situation, he really does not dare to make any mistakes.

Feng Quan understood, but he didn't dare to say...

……

Ever since the Qing Dynasty entered the People's Republic of China, they have never believed in the literati group.

As for why this is the case, we dare not say!

If someone licks their buttocks with shit, and we expose it, what awaits them is not thanks, but suppression!

I am a powerless person, so if I ask the navy to hack us, it will be in vain...

……

At the beginning of entering the customs, Dorgon made rules when he took charge - the forehand at each level must be the Eight Banners.

Then... among many levels of official positions, he only has one position, what should he do?

It’s okay, add one!

For example, six.

Since ancient times, there has been only one person in these six ministers. (There will be additional titles in the future. This is to give you a name that you can use to suppress others.)

Rules are rules, you can't pee to death, right?

Add it!

what a big deal...

Therefore, the six ministers of the Qing Dynasty - all two people!

This is called "Manchu and Han ministers each have one person".

However, it was the Manchu minister who really held the real power.

To use an appropriate metaphor, a Han minister is equivalent to an honorary minister.

It is not that he has no real power, but the power he holds is very small - he can only control the Han officials below.

As for the subordinates Manchen...

sorry!

That's the master!

Do you still care?

If I don’t slap your big ears, I just think highly of you!

What about the clerk below?

Hehehe!

A recorder who writes and draws requires two people - it is called the pen-note style.

In this situation……

Since the early Qing Dynasty, government agencies have rapidly become bloated.

In the entire Qing Dynasty, the number of people in the government was many, many times that of the Ming Dynasty...

For officials, at least twice as much!

What about below?

More exaggerated!

such as--

In the Ming Dynasty, the total number of government and county officials was approximately 40 to 45.

In the Qing Dynasty, the total number of government and county officials was approximately - more than 500 million.

Directly increased tenfold!

On average, there are 3000 people in a county.

(It should be more than 2000 people. Specific data... It’s hard to check. Anyway, I don’t know the situation in the county in detail...)

There are so many people, do you want to eat, drink and have diarrhea?

How to solve financial pressure?

This is one of the reasons why the Qing Dynasty’s Literary Inquisition had extremely long wait times—find ways to raise money!

More than 150 years!

This was the heyday.

How many wealthy gentry were killed and how much money was robbed?

They don't dare to count, so we won't be able to find the data, right...

(The Literary Prison of the Qing Dynasty lasted for about 250 years.)

In the later stages, we had no choice but to set up tax cards everywhere.

Then go to the back of the court - there are so many officials, and they are not the only ones who are greedy!

What to do?

It’s okay, just take care of the customs!

It’s not a sovereign country anyway…

what a big deal...

In fact, just from the number of officials, we can see why the Qing Dynasty's science and technology regressed.

Just look at this and you will know why!

This—not counting the millions of bannermen who were waiting to die, as well as the high salaries of the huge clans!

Faced with such huge financial pressure, the Qing Dynasty had no choice.

In the early stage, homes could be ransacked, a large literary prison was created, and the gentry were robbed.

In the later stage, the gentry learned the lesson and it couldn't grab it anymore.

What should we do in the end - restore the tax farming system of the Yuan Dynasty!

How outrageous the life of the people in the Qing Dynasty was - if you go to a restaurant to have a meal, I'm sorry, you have to pay taxes!

Brush a hot pot, sorry, you have to pay tax!

When you get married or die alone, do you need to set up two tables for relatives and friends?

Sorry, please pay the tax first!

……

If that's tax evasion...

The penalty is 10-20 times!

This is given to the treasury.

How much will you charge below?

With so many mouths waiting for food, how can it still make you feel better?

………………

ps: I’m talking too much again. When I mention the Qing Dynasty, my head is buzzing...
