Chapter 9579 donation
After hearing Zhenwu's words, Zhang Penghong and the other four were all in a state of condensation. In history, the court's disaster relief was a great opportunity for local officials to take the opportunity to eliminate the deficit, embezzle and deduct relief money and grain. The relief money and grain were allocated from the Ministry of Revenue, governor, governor, governor, bureau, bureau, and county, and basically intercepted them from the wings. Five of them were left at the municipal level, and then they were deducted and embezzled by a group of minor officials, and finally fell into the mouths of the victims.
These disadvantages have been deeply rooted in their practice and involve a lot of involvement. All officials and officials of various departments have benefits. Although the four of them knew it well, no one dared to make any suggestions. Even Zhao Shenqiao, the left censor of the Censorate, who is known as the "official slaughter", dared not lift the cover. Those who offended were a lot, not one or two.
Zhenwu glanced at the four people and said in a deep voice: "This relief has brought a lot of money and food. It is impossible for a group of dirty officials to work on them, intercept them from layer to layer, embezzle them, and detain them. Fu Ning'an, the Ministry of Revenue, the Minister of Justice, and the Left Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of 30 people were drawn from the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Ministry of Revenue for supervision. Those who dare to seize food from the victims of the disaster will be punished and executed by all the officials. This is a permanent example and will be recorded in the "Qing Qing Hui Dian" and "Ministry of Revenue".
The four of them felt nervous when they heard this. Kangxi was lenient. This master did not seem to be a kind-hearted master, but he must not do harsh government. This master was in his prime and in good health. He could do whatever he had for 30 or 40 years. If he implemented harsh government, the relaxed atmosphere that Kangxi had finally managed would be wiped out.
Seeing the four people stunned, Zhenwu couldn't help but look dark and said, "Why, have you cut off your financial path?"
All four of them were shocked. Because there was Fu Ning'an's job in the will, he did not dare to think too much, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Slaves respect the order."
Shi Shilun kowtowed and said, "Xiao Zhong is a thief of Da Zhong, a small profit. The remnant of Da Quan, Xiao Ci is a thief of Da Quan. He embezzled and detained the money and food of the hungry people. Once a major disaster occurs, it will inevitably lead to countless victims starving to death. Such crazy officials cannot be judged by common sense. The emperor's move is actually a great benevolent act."
Seeing Shi Lun say this, Zhang Penghong hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have no mercy on the officials who embezzled and deducted disaster relief money and food. Is his crime really punishable? But what's the reason for his family? I beg the emperor to kill only the evil ones."
Wang Xiangling also followed: "The state has national laws and family rules. The poor ministers secretly believe that officials who violate the law should be punished according to the law of the Qing Dynasty."
After hearing this, Zhenwu couldn't help but glance at the two trusted ministers, pondered slightly, and then said slowly: "I am not a cruel person. I am not willing to implement harsh policies, but embezzling money and food for disaster relief is already difficult to return. Not so is not enough to intimidate a group of corrupt officials. Not so is not enough to make them feel awe. Officials are human beings, and disaster victims are also human beings. One embezzlement may cause hundreds or even thousands to starve to death, which is unfair to the disaster victims!"
As he said that, he looked at Fu Ning'an again and said, "The most important thing is supervision, which is to be responsible for the victims and officials. The reason why I have to send the prisoners who condemn the Imperial College to supervise in various places is that they are not infected with the bad habits of the officialdom. They will not protect each other, and will not deceive their superiors and subordinates, and they still have a conscience in their hearts. Experienced disaster relief is also a kind of exercise for them. It is better to travel a hundred miles than to read thousands of books and let them learn more about people's livelihood. It is beneficial to them to the court, and these prisoners must be strictly protected by local governments."
Fu Ning'an dared not say much at this time, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I respect the orders of the minister." Seeing the depressed atmosphere, he raised his head and deliberately pulled the topic away, saying, "Emperor, this time, there are various businesses and salt merchants who will take the lead in losing donations. There will definitely be many people who will respond. Naturally, there will be rich gentry. The court has not donated for many years, and it coincides with the emperor's change of the era. Can you pay for it to encourage the loss of donations?"
When Shi Shilun heard this, he couldn't help but secretly scold him for being confused. Once he admitted it, wouldn't he wipe out the emperor's contributions?
When Zhenwu heard about donating, he was immediately attracted. The donation system was one of the major ways for the court to select officials, and it was in parallel with the imperial examination, the imperial examination, and the recommendation. This system was a major failure of the Qing Dynasty, and the fall of the Qing Dynasty was not unrelated to this system.
Zhenwu had never expected that Fu Ning'an would suddenly appear. He hated the donation, but he did not rush to express his opinion. Donation started in Shunzhi, and Kangxi also offered to offer several times. He could not express his opinion rashly in this matter, at least he could not make too quick progress. He pondered slightly, then glanced at Zhang Penghong, Wang Xiangling, and Shi Shilun, and said, "What do you think?"
Shi Shilun immediately spoke without thinking: "Return to the emperor, I think it is inappropriate. The court is not short of money now. Besides, the loss of donations this time is enough to raise a large amount of donations, so why do we need to make trouble?"
Zhang Penghong and Wang Xiangling were unexpectedly surprised by this issue, and they both pondered and said nothing. Seeing this situation, Zhenwu couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Could it be that this donation is still a good idea? He glanced at the two of them and called out, "Wang Xiangling, what do you think?"
Seeing Zhenwu pointing to himself, Wang Xiangling hurriedly bowed and said, "The donation system began when Emperor Shizu Zhang and the Emperor attacked the "Three Feudalists" rebelled. Because the Dushu was not in charge, he once offered to accept the gifts and donated officials. Due to the famine in Xi'an, Datong was famine, the construction of Yongding River and the establishment of Tongzhou Warehouse, several donations were issued, and several donations were made. In addition to feather titles, licensing and additional records, he could not only donate to the magistrate, but also to the road. The government actually lacked officials.
In order to pacify the "Three Feudal Fellowship" and provide relief to Xi'an, the two things of famine in Datong were admitted because the court was in financial difficulties and the turnover was not continued. However, the construction and dredging of Yongding River and the addition of Tongzhou Warehouse were not urgent. Moreover, the treasury was quite surplus at that time, and the empress was quite puzzled by this. I think the Supreme Emperor's move was of profound meaning."
After hearing this, Zhenwu was slightly stunned. This donation system is really of no use? No matter what Kangxi said, he was also a wise lord and wise ruler. He could not be so short-sighted. He also offered donation officials for a few million taels of silver when the national treasury is full. He could not see the harm of donation, so why did he have to offer several times? What is the deep meaning behind this? Could it be that he still had no choice but to have any difficulties?
When Zhang Pengchong heard this, he cursed "Slips" inwardly. Wang Xiangling did not know the reason, but saw that Zhenwu was not happy with donation and deliberately avoided it, but he aroused Zhenwu's interest and asked himself to come forward to explain.
After whispering a few words in his heart, Zhang Penghui looked up at Zhenwu and saw that he frowned slightly. He knew that he did not know about this case. For the sake of donation, he had publicly debated in the court. The one who objected to the objection was Wang Shu. (To be continued) q!~!
