Luoyang, Henan, Special Envoy Yamen.
"My Special Envoy, since our special envoy's office launched the grand immigration plan, up to now, the entire Henan has emigrated nearly 300,000 people, accounting for more than 90% of the total number of refugees. There are no more than 100 refugees on the current official roads. Now.” Yang Shanlu was sitting on an official chair at this time, and the officials from the Department of Civil Affairs he brought with him were reporting to him.
When Yang Shanlu heard it, he was very satisfied... Very good, the immigration work was done quite well, and it also proved from one aspect that he brought out a savvy and capable team, which effectively ensured the development of the immigration work. .
Of course, even so, Yang Shanlu is still very clear that if he wants to completely solve Henan's problems, this alone is not enough.
After all, Henan is a populous province with a population of seven or eight million. Even if you add the previous gangsters and the current immigration, Henan still has a population of three or four million. So With such a large population and so poor land, we still need to make great efforts to help them improve their lives before they can finally manage Henan successfully!
So next, Yang Shanlu entered the next step of the process... that is, started the assistance plan after the grand immigration plan!
That is to say, among the more than three million people left in Henan, the refugees whose survival time is calculated in days are gone, but the situation of the remaining three million people is also very bad.
That is to say, among so many people, the main body of them are some self-cultivating farmers, and these self-cultivating farmers, although there are still some meager land, but under this kind of natural disaster, and the bullying and pressure of the government in the past, they are also struggling on the verge of bankruptcy! So next, whether they survive or die depends on Yang Shanlu.
In view of this, Yang Shanlu immediately gave instructions-launched a vigorous big help plan! And he was personally led! In other words, to learn from the 359/Brigade of the year, Yang Shanlu personally led the three thousand Xuanjia army down to various fields in Henan.
The army put down its weapons, picked up the hoe, and began to help these self-cultivators, and they could do anything, planting rice seedlings, planting seeds... even building houses, carrying water and digging wells, anyway!
And at the beginning, when these people saw the soldiers coming, they were all frightened and scattered. The image of officers and soldiers in the past, especially those of the Central Plains officers and soldiers, really scared them... But now.
After they fled back, they found that the water tank at home was filled with water, and the dilapidated house was repaired... But the only thing that did not move was their rice tank... This recognition touched these homesteaders. I almost shed tears, this kind of team is Daming's official army...
After a few times like this, the common people no longer fear the Xuanjia Army. When they go to the countryside again, they dare to gather around to talk and exchange, and they have truly achieved the military and civilian life!
Then, with this foundation, coupled with the large number of capable officials brought by Yang Shanlu, it has also changed the common people's perception of the government in the past, and it is no longer an official like a tiger, an official like a wolf! Thinking about how to'eat' them all day long!
It actually guaranteed the integrity of the local officials, fairness and openness, and fulfilled the promise of not collecting taxes for one year. This kind of charity gave these self-employed farmers a good breath.
In addition, Yang Shanlu's big help plan also brought two great tools to improve people's livelihood... Feitian powder and sweet potato.
Needless to say, Feitianfen, it's not an exaggeration to say that it is a little bit into gold! As long as it is used in the sky, the yield per mu will increase by one or two times, which is not a problem at all.
As for sweet potatoes, let alone, after nearly ten years of improvement by Yang Shanlu, sweet potatoes were already satisfactory when governing Shanxi, but what about now? After more than a year of improvement, various indicators have been further improved, so the effect of promotion at this time...
In addition, sweet potatoes do not have high requirements for water and soil. Various fields, wild grasses and beaches, and even stone fields can be planted, so they are especially suitable for the situation in Henan. They are simply natural equipped! So after Yang Shanlu gave the order, countless sweet potato seedlings began to be promoted to the whole of Henan, and even Shaanxi, Shandong, and Huguang, all four provinces.
Then, after a whole month of hard work, the situation in Henan has finally stabilized... The wheat seedlings in the fields have grown, and the green areas look very gratifying, including many places that are not suitable for farming, and the green vines of sweet potatoes. It has also been overgrown, and the original Chidi Qianli no longer exists.
Of course, Yang Shanlu knows that although the people's livelihood in Henan has been improved, the foundation is still weak and cannot stand ups and downs, so further support is needed in the future.
Insert a sentence, really good, it is worth installing, after all, there are many books, complete books, and fast updates!
In other words, it is necessary to help these farmers all the way, until after the summer harvest in the first season is completed, every household has harvested enough summer grain, which is enough for the whole family to eat for three months! Only in this way is the preliminary governance successful!
Because after this, even in the most extreme circumstances, the next season’s grain harvest will not be harvested, and you will be able to survive safely, and will not be able to escape from famine, Yang Shanlu can stand up and say... The governance of Henan has been successful! The lives of the people have been improved!
So now, it's actually just beginning.
But at this critical time, the money basket in charge of the disaster relief money came (this time he was also recruited), and the money basket was to report to Yang Shanlu: "My lord, the four million you brought The two silver tickets have been spent! Then there is no money!"
"Oh, is it all done?" Yang Shanlu nodded when he heard it, but this was already in his plan, or he had already thought about it...
To help the victims in the four provinces, four million taels is not enough! And we still need to see that the burden of helping the victims in the four provinces is so heavy, how can we let him take it all alone? Those corrupt officials, who have absorbed many people's anointing, can make their due contribution.
Because Yang Shanlu came from later generations, he has a clear understanding of the social structure at this time. For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, it seems to be synonymous with tragedy. It is often not a case here* or a major drought. , The people are poor and the people's livelihood is difficult.
In fact, objectively speaking, it was the people who suffered at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and those who were officials did not suffer! Or in other words, the people are not without wealth, but the wealth is uneven! All in the hands of a small group of people, so now...
So Yang Shanlu immediately said: "This question is not difficult, call Hai Jilian."
For this matter, it is necessary to use Hai Jilian, the black-faced Hades. Since Hai Jilian came to Henan, he has been responsible for the work of the Supervision Department and the Intelligence Department. During this period, Yang Shanlu was in charge of disaster relief. Hai Jilian is constantly collecting evidence of various corrupt officials and officials, so now, it's time to sharpen his sword to the pig and sheep!
In addition, because he knows that this is also an important part of the governance of people’s livelihood, Yang Shanlu attaches great importance to the next anti-corruption action, not only will there be such cadres as Hai Jilian, but also he will be seconded. Manpower...
That is, when he left Beijing, he also brought hundreds of supervisory historians (mostly composed of Donglin party members), so these supervisory historians were also not idle, investigating and visiting all over Henan, of course, mainly In the upper middle class, so now, it's time to close the net.
Hai Jilian's office was also in the special envoy's Yamen, so he arrived soon, and when he arrived, he had already handed over the documents Yang Shanlu needed.
"Master Qi, you need the information on corrupt officials, we have completely checked out. After this whole month of visits and investigations, we have unearthed all corrupt officials in Henan Province! At least 95% or more!"
"Furthermore, we divided these corrupt officials into three classes according to the severity of their crimes. The first class is the kind of heinous, corrupting more than fifty thousand taels of silver, and there are many, even dozens of lives. This kind of person recommends the execution of the decisive decision! And all the family wealth should be confiscated!"
"Then the second class is to embezzle more than twenty thousand taels of silver, but there is no life in his hands, or there are only indirect acts of harm. So for such corrupt officials, although they will not beheaded, they must be sent to jail. Inside forever!
As for the third type, the crime is the lightest. The embezzlement is not more than five thousand taels of silver, and there is no life on hand. The opinion on dealing with this kind of person is that there is no need to beheaded or to sit in a prison, but the gain All the stolen money needs to be spit out, in addition to that, he will have to go to jail for twenty years, thinking of atonement! "
After Hai Jilian finished speaking, he handed Yang Shanlu a list. In the nearly 100 states and counties in Henan, there were only more than 500 officials above the county magistrate. But what about now? There are more than 400 people who meet the conditions, and more than 200 people should be killed! This shows how dark this officialdom has become! But now...
The fate of these corrupt officials is in the hands of Yang Shanlu.
And Yang Shanlu watched it carefully, especially the list of middle and high-ranking officials. He watched them very carefully. Originally, these should be the pillars of the imperial court...
After reading it, Yang Shanlu asked, "It seems that there are a lot of corrupt officials. Are there any mistakes or omissions?"
"Don't worry, Lord Hou, we are doing three-pronged approach this time. We promise not to catch the wrong one, and we promise not to miss one!" Hai Jilian said confidently.
You must know that he has been in this business for more than ten years, and he is already very experienced. Just like this time, there were sergeants from the Supervision Department who went to various places to visit and understand among the people. Kind of intelligence to provide support.
In addition, there are the materials collected by the supervisory censors, and then they are combined through the above three ways to compare them one by one, so it can be said with certainty that neither one will be let go, nor the wrong one will be caught!
"Very good, then proceed accordingly!" Yang Shanlu said after reading it, and he felt that this standard is still very appropriate. For example, the so-called heinous, that is, the occupation of fertile land, the life of the grass and so on, etc. Basically, they have been converted.
It seems that among the people who should be killed, there is a county magistrate that impressed him especially, because this person was born from a poor background, and he was a poor scholar. When he took office, he was empty-handed, but he was such a person. People seek profit, but start to earn money frantically!
Within just one year of taking office, this person has bought more than a dozen luxury houses and shipped back tens of thousands of dollars to his hometown! In addition, there are more than a dozen outside rooms! Therefore, Yang Shanlu was amazed by such a method of making money and such an extreme change!
In this aspect, we can see the irrationality of the talent training system, and in the other aspect, we can see the harm of corrupt officials to the people! As the so-called harsh government is fierce! A county magistrate in a district can actually find so much money. It is conceivable that the people under his rule will have a miserable life! That is three feet tall!
Therefore, it is definitely not enough for civilians to be angry if such a person is not killed! Of course, this kind of people are frantic about corruption, there are still some backers on the top, but now...
Then one more sentence. In fact, the three standards above are for embezzling fifty thousand taels of silver to beheaded. Yang Shanlu has already opened up the net. If it is really in accordance with the Ming law, this standard will be reduced by ten times, or even a hundred times. It's about to beheaded, but Yang Shanlu considers that the current official salary system is also improper. If there is no corruption, it is not enough to support the family.
For example, the most typical case is that Hai Rui is a standard upright official, right? But with his salary and no other ill-gotten gains, the family can't afford to hire a cook or buy clothes, so his wife can only spin and weave by herself!
Even his most respected old mother, on her 80th birthday, he can only buy a piece of half a catty of meat as a celebration, and even this incident is regarded as an anecdote by Jin Yiwei, who has not eaten meat all the year round. It was reported to the emperor, so it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty’s salary was low...
So taking the above situation into account, Yang Shanlu has actually been merciful... You can't live without corrupting officials, and the people can't survive with corruption, so Yang Shanlu has raised your hand... Even if you are corrupt, as long as you still have fear For example, according to his lowest standard, those who embezzle no more than five thousand taels of silver are not included in the punishment!
But if you embezzle for the sake of corruption, you will be greedy and frantic, unscrupulous! I'm sorry then! You must borrow your head to use it!
So after the final approval, Yang Shanlu immediately picked up a vermilion pen and wrote a line of instructions on it-do it accordingly!
So in this way, after Yang Shanlu's approval, Hai Jilian would be equal to the sword of Shangfang!
And with the current power of Yang Shanlu, the left hand is the sword of the square, the right hand is the gold medal, and he also sees the official first level, so in the whole future, who else can fight against him besides Emperor Chongzhen
As a result, since the founding of Ming Dynasty in Henan, the biggest earthquake in the officialdom of Henan officially began, and even this was called the April storm by some corrupt officials later!
Ps bowed and thanked my old friend scjosdu for his reward! Moreover, after being blank for five consecutive days, Baima was very nervous, thinking that the writing was broken, and now this encouragement... Thanks again! (End of this chapter)
