In the study room of Qianqing Palace in the Imperial Palace of Beijing, Hongzhi Huangdi, Liu Jin, Zhong Zhong, Wang Shouren, Han Wen, Yang Yiqing, and Liang Chu were discussing national affairs.
"Your Majesty, the officials of the Immigration Bureau of Xiayun Town, Heitu Province, together with the officials and officials of Xiayun Town, embezzled 2 million taels of silver in resettlement funds, 5,000 horses, 1,000 cattle, and 30,000 sheep."
Wang Shouren took out a memorial and reported to Hongzhi Wasteland on the immigration affairs of Black Earth Province. He was the cabinet minister responsible for immigration affairs. When such a thing happened, he felt that there was no trace of brilliance on his face.
This is something that everyone turns a blind eye to. Even Emperor Hongzhi knows about it, and Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, is also accepting it.
But it is different now. The income of officials in the Ming Dynasty is already quite high. Even the income of seventh-grade officials has exceeded 200 taels of silver. In addition, there are subsidies, food, cloth, tea and other physical goods distributed by the court. The income It is far beyond ordinary people.
The income of ordinary people is only five or sixty taels of silver a year. Calculated, the income of seventh-grade officials is more than five or six times that of ordinary people.
With such an income, coupled with the extremely low prices in Ming Dynasty, it can be said that there is no problem at all in supporting a large family, and there is no need to talk about being greedy.
"But people's hearts are not enough, and corruption is still an important problem. Every year, a large number of officials are investigated and punished for corruption.
"Humph~"
¡°Immigration has traveled thousands of miles to the Black Earth Province and responded to the imperial court¡¯s call to immigrate to the border areas. However, no matter how much settlement allowance and property they deserve are taken away by these people, it is simply unconscionable.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi read the memorial carefully, and immediately threw the memorial to the ground in great anger.
The immigration issue has always been the issue that Emperor Hongzhi was most concerned about.
In the view of Emperor Hongzhi, emigration is not easy. Leaving his homeland and wandering in other places, with confusion and panic about the future, he was willing to emigrate entirely because he believed in the imperial court.
Now such a problem has arisen. The resettlement allowance has been embezzled, and even the cattle, sheep and horses distributed to immigrants have been embezzled. They also collude with each other, thinking that everything can be done seamlessly.
"Your Majesty, the immigration policy is related to the long-term peace and stability of our Ming Dynasty, and is related to our Ming Dynasty's rule and management of remote territories. It must not be affected by these moths."
"I think these corrupt people should be dealt with seriously."
Liu Jin stood up and said with a serious face.
Corrupt officials have existed since ancient times. Some corrupt officials know what can and cannot be corrupted. For example, when a famine occurs, money and food for disaster relief cannot be corrupted, because once they are corrupted, there is no telling how many victims will die. .
"But there are some officials who are just greedy. No matter how much money they have, they dare to be greedy. They also have a huge appetite and want to become fat in one bite and swallow everything in their stomachs.
Such corrupt officials have no moral bottom line. They only care about money and don¡¯t care about anything else. They are like a scumbag project for future generations. Once something goes wrong, no one knows how many people will be killed.
Liu Jin deeply hates such people, and has always been merciless. He will punish every one he finds out, making him regret it for the rest of his life.
"Your Majesty, I also believe that these corrupt officials should be dealt with seriously. They will never tolerate adultery, and they will be published in newspapers so that they will be reviled by thousands of people and serve as a warning to officials all over the world."
Zhong Zhong also stood up to express his support.
In fact, these officials who went to Black Earth Province to serve as officials were not only promoted faster than those in other places, but also received salary subsidies and the like.
They can also be rewarded with large tracts of land. Even ordinary seventh-grade officials can obtain thousands of acres of land, as well as a lot of cattle, sheep, horses and slaves.
It can be said that in this regard, the imperial court has formulated a complete set of perfect systems, which not only attracts ordinary people to immigrate there, but also allows these officials to govern in these places with peace of mind.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect that some people would still commit corruption.
"Your Majesty, these corrupt officials must be severely punished!"
?? 强牺 99bxwx.com 读牺。Wang Shouren also expressed his stance.
&nbsThe monopoly of land, coupled with the gentry and landlords, etc., caused the land conflict in Henan to be extremely acute.
And a large number of people migrated out, and at the same time these princes, big and small, were also moved out. There was a lot of land in Henan that was deserted and uncultivated.
Secondly, a large number of immigrants also increased the grain output of the Ming Dynasty. The development of Liaodong, Hezhong, Nanyang, Central Asia and other places, and the use of mechanized farming of large amounts of fertile land, greatly increased grain production, allowing the Ming Dynasty to truly get rid of the problem of famine. , which is the foundation for the prosperity and stability of the Ming Dynasty.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:???????????????????????????????????????:???????????????????????????? for the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Zhang Si. It can be said that immigration has many benefits, and it is also a policy that the Ming court has always adhered to. Even though the Ming Dynasty is now short of local manpower, the court still insists on immigration.
Relocate people from mountainous areas, relocate people from areas with harsh natural conditions, and allow these places to slowly restore their natural environment, etc.
Control the big one and control the owl. "Your Majesty, the Yangtze River dredging project plan has also been formulated!"
After talking about the immigration of Black Earth Province, Yang Yiqing also submitted a memorandum on the plan to dredge the Yangtze River.
PS: Ahem, are there any big guys who are doing engineering work? Can you tell me about the situation~
