Chapter 597 The prisoner's diary

After the ministers retreated, Zhenwu also stood up and walked slowly in the hall. After decades of entering the pass, through continuous marriages, the flags were invisibly connected. The so-called flags were like mountains, just the princes and nobles of the upper class did not interact with each other. The flags of each flag were already in harmony with each other. This situation was not a good thing for him, and it would increase the resistance to the reform of the Eight Banners.

To change this situation, we must break the existing system of restricting flags and intermarriage among the people. However, this is a fundamental task that shakes the Eight Banners system. At least for now, he dare not break it. What he can do now is to break the barriers between the upper three banners and the lower five banners and the Zhenyuan territory, and encourage the Eight Banners to intermarriage freely. This will further weaken the control of the princes and princes of the banners over the people.

However, for the royal family and the princes and nobles of different surnames of each banner, it is better for him, the emperor, to marry. They cannot let them marry each other, so as not to form a large interest group, which is not conducive to the stability of the country. Thinking of this, he couldn't help sighing, if he is involved in politics, he should not expect freedom of marriage unless he can give up his current identity.

The court's opinion on the punishment of the case of pursuing fraud in the Cangchang camp was soon spread in the inner city. After hearing this, the princes and nobles of each banner all breathed a sigh of relief. They were not too concerned about the Cang official Yu Li who committed the case. They were only concerned about how to punish the grain commerce. Since they were just ordering double refunds, it means that Zhenwu had no intention of exploring them.

After hearing the news, the bannermen were relieved. Since they were just punishing the corruption, they would not kill too many people. Ordinary warehouse officials, Yu officials, were not qualified to be corrupt, and there was nothing to worry about.

The most depressing thing was the group of grain merchants involved in the case. Compared with the Ming Zhengdian punishment and the punishment for dismissal of the family, the double refund of illegal gains was like a mercy outside the law. But the problem is that there is no definite period. When should this confusing account be calculated? Everyone knows what the outcome is to be the same as the criminals. The group of grain merchants frowned and thought about it again and again. To be on the safe side, they could only do what they could and compensated all the stored grains in their hands.

The large-scale grain merchants in the capital transported grain back to the official warehouse on a large scale, which immediately caused a sensation. The people in the capital had no good feelings for these grain merchants. When they saw this, they all applauded. The more sufficient grain the official warehouse was, the more stable the grain prices were, and the ordinary official grain was guaranteed, so the people were naturally very happy.

March was coming in a flash, and it was still raining. However, the relief money and grain from Nanyang, Jiangnan and Huguang had begun to arrive in Tianjin continuously, and then it was transferred to disaster areas in various provinces. The large and small docks in Tianjin were busy every day, and all ships entering the port were loaded with grain, while ships leaving the port were immigrants to Australia.

This is the imperial court, considering the serious disaster and the large number of ships transporting grain to the north, in order to reduce the losses of empty ships and reduce the pressure in the disaster area as much as possible, the main lieutenant increased the number of immigrants in various provinces.

The disaster relief food arrived continuously. The people's hearts in the capital immediately became stable. Zhenwu and the court officials were relieved when they saw this situation. The disaster relief food and money were provided in time. The specific relief matters were the affairs of officials from the following provinces.

Disaster relief matters in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other provinces have long been fully launched. After officials from various places extracted the allocated disaster relief money from the "Four Great Hengs", they began to purchase surplus grain from local grain storage households for porridge and medicine. The labor-for-relief projects have also been launched in various places.

Officials from all over the country knew that this disaster relief was of great significance, and no one dared to be careless and slack. In addition, the capital sent many supervisory officials and supervisory students to various places, which made them walk on thin ice, and officials were easy to say. The most difficult thing to guard against were those young supervisory students.

Although the supervisors are qualified to be an official, they have not yet become officials and know nothing about the rules of the officialdom. Although they have never experienced disaster relief, they have learned about it before they came to the local area. They basically understand some common sense. They like to verify and compare everything, and they even ask endlessly. The local officials are very annoyed, and they are not able to offend them. These supervisors have to write supervisor diaries every day and send them back to the capital with the Beijing News. It can be said that they are going directly to the heavens. How dare they offend easily?

It’s a good idea to deal with the prison students who like to communicate with local officials. What they fear most is the prison students who like to visit privately. That’s what is called being unprepared. How many officials are now clean? If they hear about greed, bribery, injustice and other things in their diaries, it would be really fatal.

The local officials were extremely troubled by these deadly prison students. They were busy with disaster relief while being distracted by them. It was a pity.

Not only local officials, but also the ministers in the court were suffering because of the diary of the supervisor. All the supervisors knew that the diary could reach the heavenly voice, so they were also very serious. They were not only diligent in observing, but also had their own opinions in order to win the favor of Zhenwu. The diary was not only limited to recording disaster relief matters, but also had their own knowledge. They were not only limited to recording disaster relief matters, but also had a lot of research on stations, roads, bridges, cities, academies, academies, ages, escorts, lawsuits, etc. in various places, and every article was full of long discussions.

At first, Zhenwu looked at each one carefully. After only one day of reading, he felt that he couldn't bear it. He handed over the diary to the Shangshu for preliminary review and submitted the valuable ones. The ministers in Shangshu were already very busy, so they could not take so much time to read them carefully. He asked for an order now and recommended that the diary be transferred to the officials of the various departments, temples, and Hanlin Academy to read and select them first, and only a small part was kept in Shangshu and Zhenwu's hands.

Zhenwu had no objection to this suggestion, but only reminded him to pay attention to the relationship between local officials in case someone deliberately concealed it. This caused an extra incident for the officials in the capital. He had to read a few diaries of the prisoners every day and wrote a brief description. Each of them was naturally full of complaints, but this move was a pioneering move by Zhenwu, and the officials could only complain a few words.

After watching for a few days, a group of officials who worked in person felt that they benefited a lot. The students who went to various places for supervision were selected from the Imperial College. They were basically recruited, tribute supervisors, entrusted students, and children of bannermen and ministers. Most of them were talented, knowledgeable, noble and self-disciplined. They were widely discussed in the diary. After watching for a few days, they had a general understanding of the prefectures and counties where they were located, and the image of local officials was also vividly displayed on paper. Some interested officials gradually realized the importance of these diaries of the student.

Because these students were in prison, they did not understand the rules of the officialdom, and did not have any interest relationships. They can be said to be completely based on a fair standpoint and truthfully recorded the local situation. These diaries can be used as the basis or evidence for the evaluation of officials, and they gradually became concerned about this matter. {Piaotian Wenxue www.piaotian.net Thanks to all book friends for their support, your support is our greatest motivation}
