Chapter 272: Whether the Ming Dynasty is in chaos or not, Duke Ding has the final say

Xie Jin was transferred from Tongzheng to the Minister of Revenue and Governor of the Nanzhili Tax District, and undoubtedly got beaten.

From managing the overall situation and downgrading to being able to manage Nanzhili, it was the punishment for his poor performance. Who made you not keep it?

Xu Jingchang then proposed to transfer Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu and Hu Yan to the Tongzheng Department to serve as the senator. Since this is a third-rank official position, as long as the crown prince Zhu Gaochi of the Supervisor agrees and the Wuying Palace passes, he can take office. Just report to Zhu Di.

At this moment, Jian Yi would not object to the Wuying Palace's political discussion, and no one else dared to object. Therefore, the three were successfully transferred to the Tongzhengsi and became Xu Jingchang's command.

"Duke Ding, go around and go around, you still need to sit on this chair!"

Hu Yan said with emotion.

Xu Jingchang had just served as the Tongzheng envoy, so he came. Now he is here again, so I have to sigh. This is a fate.

Xu Jingchang also smiled, "Sir Hu, people are similar, things are different. We will gather together again, but we cannot be the same as before. Our Tongzheng Department must show our courage, make drastic moves, and do something with our hearts and minds."

Hu Yan subconsciously straightened his spine, and the other two Yangs did not dare to neglect them, so he looked at Xu Jingchang together.

Some words do not need to be said too clearly, people are similar but things are different.

Xu Jingchang used these six words to point out the situation.

When Zhu Di had just ascended the throne, Xu Jingchang became the Tongzheng envoy. He used Xu Jingchang to collide with the original court to help Zhu Di and consolidate the throne.

It can even be said that Yao Guangxiao would let Xu Jingchang take office for this purpose.

Xu Jingchang also did a good job, and he really made the court officials beat him up and eliminated people like Ru Yi, which was considered as helping Zhu Di.

Next, Xu Jingchang's resignation was not only indignant for the court officials, but also because he completed his mission, Zhu Di took advantage of the situation and agreed to the matter.

Otherwise, Zhu Di would have to take it, who could dismiss Xu Jingchang?

The things here are really subtle. Now that the Ming Dynasty is coming again, it is time to change, and Zhu Di plays the card Xu Jingchang again.

The meanings are very different.

At least the Tongzhengsi Department is already the first-class yamen.

It is a legitimate and obedient person, with the six divisions, commands the world, promotes profits and eliminates disadvantages, and has no obstacles.

"Duke Ding, what order do you have? Just say it, and I will do it with all my heart."

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "It's not a question of giving instructions. Things belong to us. The most important thing at the moment is to let these eight governors do things well, especially in Nanzhili. I hope that Master Jie can figure it out and not have any burden. He is the governor to take on a more important mission. His power in his hands is very amazing, and he can ask about business taxes and money. Nanzhili is also a place of important financial resources and has amazing potential. As long as you do it well, you will be in the heart of the emperor and make a fortune, only in front of you."

After Xu Jingchang finished speaking, he looked at the three people, "Who can transfer this meaning to Master Jie? Keep it intact and avoid misunderstandings."

The three of them looked at it again and again, but Yang Shiqi bowed and said, "If Duke Ding can be trusted, the lower officials are willing to reconcile the scholars."

Xu Jingchang smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll bother Senator Yang."

Then Xu Jingchang said: "What are the defects of the six ministries at present, and what are the shortcomings of the government?"

Yang Pu pondered: "Duke Ding, I will not hide it from it. The most important thing now is the Ministry of Justice."

"Ministry of Justice?"

Yang Pu nodded, "Duke Dingguo, this is how it is. The eunuch of Sanbao went to the West and built ships in Liujiagang. It has been endless for many years. There are also changing rice into mulberry trees in various places and setting up silk workshops. Songjiang, Suzhou, every family weaving cloth and every household reeling silk, which is a trend. Because of this, many villagers left their hometowns and entered the city to work. There are many people, and the quality is not uniform. Some people sneaked and some people cheated the villagers and used the excuse to find a livelihood to defraud money. In addition, there are also the villages below, because the male villagers entered the city and the family had no final say, so they took the opportunity to occupy the villagers' land. Some powerful households also privately annexed the land, forcing the people to change to plant mulberry cotton."

Yang Pu concluded: "Now there are all kinds of chaos in the city and there is no peace in the countryside. All kinds of litigation and disputes are as numerous as cows, and they are all pushed to the Ministry of Justice. However, the Ministry of Justice is unwilling to set up a large prison, for fear of being subject to severe punishments and harsh laws and harsh reputations of the people."

Speaking of this, Yang Pu calmed down and looked at Xu Jingchang, but found that Xu Jingchang looked as usual and smiled: "I know that this is the inevitable result of the development of industry and commerce. If there is a problem, you are not afraid of problems, but to solve the problem, you cannot delay and avoid it, and you cannot give up your food because of choking. The Ministry of Justice did not do well, immediately order the Ministry of Justice to give an explanation. If it still doesn't work, report them to the backlog of cases and do nothing."

Yang Pu was stunned. He didn't seem to mean that!

Seeing this, Hu Yan thought Xu Jingchang didn't understand and couldn't help but say, "Duke Ding Guo, do you want the Jinyiwei to ask about this matter?"

"No!"

Xu Jingchang flatly refused, without any room for negotiation.

What a joke, how could the Jinyiwei intervene in this kind of civil dispute?

"Master Hu, and you two, may not be clear. I have discussed with Your Majesty. In the future, the duties of the Jinyiwei will be limited to important military information related to the security of the Ming Dynasty... As for civil cases, we will also take care of them, but they must be serious and the local governments and the three courts are unable to deal with them, so it will be the Jinyiwei's turn to take action."

Hu Yan was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Duke Ding, but if the Jinyiwei takes action, it will definitely be a quick and immediate effect!"

Xu Jingchang said: "That can't break the rules... What's more, the Ministry of Justice is born to be in charge of the name of punishment and has a high responsibility. Why can't they achieve immediate results? As the same thing, who should be the one who should be, who can't escape responsibility, and don't even want to fool things up."

"Sir Hu, please paste the progress bar of the former Tongzheng Department on the lobby so that everyone can see which yamen has not fulfilled their duties!"

Hu Yan was shocked, "Duke Dingguo, doing this will probably make all the troops look disgraceful!"

Xu Jingchang snorted: "Face is earned by oneself, not given by others. They don't care about their own face. Why do they ask me to help them maintain it? Also, this time, not only will the process of doing things be announced, but this must also be included in the evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel. As for what to do, I will discuss with Guan Jian Tian."

Hu Yan was stunned for a moment and had to nod. Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu were so shocked that they had to cheer up. Now it seems that Xu Jingchang was not a fake this time, but he really had to make drastic moves.

All the officials in the court can only ask for more blessings.

As soon as he turned around, Hu Yan posted the situation of each department as Xu Jingchang's instructions, including a thick stack of unfinished case files under the Ministry of Justice.

"So many?"

Zhu Gaochi picked it up casually and opened it and found that it was just a catalog, which he was immediately enraged.

"What Ministry of Justice, I think it's just not possible!"

Zhu Gaochi was furious and went to find Xu Jingchang, and at this moment Xu Jingchang was discussing this matter with Jian Yi.

"Your Highness, do you have something to do?"

Zhu Gaochi snorted: "What's going on in the Ministry of Justice? He actually suppressed the case and refused to handle it. It's really awkward to God's kindness and lazy government affairs. It's so hateful."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Highness is a little restless. This is also human nature. There is no need to be angry. Let's discuss it slowly and see what to do."

Zhu Gaochi pulled the chair and sat down, "Duke Dingguo and Jian Tianguan, what are you doing?"

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "There is no good idea, but I plan to stop the allowances from the officials of the Ministry of Justice."

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, he was overjoyed, "This method is good, they are not worthy of receiving allowances from the court."

Jian Yi frowned and looked very uneasy.

"Official Jian Tian, ​​do you object to this matter?"

Jian Yi pondered: "Your Highness, you also know that the salary of our court is too low and it is difficult for all officials to make a living, so we have the allowance. This is still the virtues of Duke Dingguo. Now that he has just stopped the allowance of officials, wouldn't it make them unable to survive? This is probably inappropriate, and it also hurts the court's benevolence."

Zhu Gaochi frowned and snorted: "They were in vain and had not completed the government affairs of the court. Wouldn't they hurt the prestige of the court?"

Jian Yi was speechless.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Your Highness said it well, Guan Jian Tian, ​​you agree. What's more, it's not about not issuing it, but about suspending it. If it can be improved, it can be reissued. However, there is one thing that needs to be published clearly by the six ministries so that all the yamen can know about it."

Jian Yi's face turned dark in an instant, and he coughed lightly, "Duke Ding, I don't think so. The face of an official is probably going to hurt Swen's vitality."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "It's not that serious. Since you have become an official, don't mention being gentle. If you want to be a scholar, you don't want to be an official. Just go to Peking Academy and be a teacher and you won't starve to death."

Zhu Gaochi quickly asked, "Yes, just do that."

Faced with the two joining forces, Jian Yi really couldn't stand it and could only nod and said, "I'll do it."

As soon as he got up, Xu Jingchang added later, "Can you see the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow?"

Jian Yi was cheered up and sighed helplessly: "I will send it to the Duke of the State in the afternoon."

After saying that, Jian Yi quickly left, sighed, without a smile on his face. Sure enough, when the person named Xu came back, everyone would not have a good end.

"Cousin, I can't understand it when you say that you are punishing the Ministry of Justice, why is Jian Tianguan so resistant?" Zhu Gaochi looked curious.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "What's the problem difficult to solve, because once this matter becomes a case, the court ministers can be punished in the name of dereliction of duty. This time it is the Ministry of Justice, and the next time it is the Ministry of Works, and sooner or later it will fall on the head of the Ministry of Personnel."

Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly: "So that's it, look at it. Sooner or later, I will send Guan Jian to prison."

Xu Jingchang laughed, "Your Highness is so bold, I'll wait for this day."

Their cousins ​​are funny, but the Ministry of Justice is already in chaos, so why has our allowance been stopped?

Not only did it stop, it was announced!

A soldier can be killed but not humiliated!

Everyone went to settle the score with someone named Xu.

As soon as someone mentioned it, someone sighed, "Do we also want to learn from those supervisors?"

In an instant, everyone in the Ministry of Justice could not do it...
Chapter completed!
