"I have given my order to all the officials in Southern Zhili. They are deeply favored by their nobles. They really do not want to serve the country. Instead, they encourage the people to rebel. I hereby order the dismissal of all civil servants in Southern Zhili and the abolition of their status as nobles in Southern Zhili. All property will be confiscated. land."
"Here you go, Lu Xiang will be promoted to the south, directly under the administration of the Chief Envoy, and he will lead 100,000 elite troops southward to thoroughly investigate the illegal activities of officials."
"Hmph, they are a bunch of bitches. If you don't fight them, you won't know who is the master."
Who are you showing off your toughness now? When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they were not pretending to be grandsons.
Nowadays, tax arrears are in arrears. During the Qing Dynasty, people did not pay taxes on their knees.
A gentry family with money, land and fame. Why do they often evade taxes by half-paying and half-arrears?
And why didn’t they dare to do this in the Qing Dynasty?
The families of those who owe taxes for this reason have a say in local public opinion, and many families also have officials from the imperial court.
Come across this situation of tax arrears.
Local officials and tax collectors did not dare to use violent methods to collect taxes, so they could only put the matter on hold.
Of course the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also knew about this situation, but because the officials protected each other, the emperor had nothing to do with these people.
Because the power of local public opinion is in the hands of the gentry group,
Don't collect the money, the court has no money to spend.
Be careful everywhere when collecting money.
With a little more urgency, the gentry dared to incite the common people to riot.
If someone is accidentally injured or killed during the collection process, it will be even more troublesome.
The emperor was concerned about his reputation. Generally speaking, he would compromise when there was trouble in the local area.
This will further increase the other party's current attitude.
By the Qing Dynasty, those barbarians didn't care about their reputation.
Deliberately arrears with taxes to the court and serious consequences include confiscation of the family and genocide, and a slightly lighter punishment is removal from the official title.
The effect is immediate.
Jiangnan and other places no longer dare to default on tax payments.
The final analysis is that the cost of breaking the law in Ming Dynasty is too low now.
Coupled with the protection of officials,
Among the gentry, Ming Lv was no different from waste paper.
Just like the clear laws and strict regulations
Those who fail to pay taxes in arrears will be punished with a rod!
But if they have money and background, they can hire beggars or poor people to suffer the punishment instead.
This kind of behavior has become a local practice, and local officials who also belong to the gentry group turn a blind eye.
If you are so spoiled to the other party, it’s strange that the other party can abide by the law!
Manchu atrocities.
The effect is good.
But who makes us civilized people?
As a civilized man, Zhu Youjian would naturally not do such a barbaric thing!
But Zhu Youjian and Zhu Youjian would not be so spoiled to each other.
Starting from the Han Dynasty, many people felt dissatisfied with the harsh laws.
After all, the law is not God, and it is impossible to clean up all unreasonable behaviors through the law.
But in fact, strict laws are the only protection for the people at the bottom.
In the information age of later generations, we often see that in addition to having problems, the food under xxx has harmed the health of many people and was sentenced to just a few years. However, xxx was sentenced to ten years for catching birds.
Such a result will cause many people to feel that the law is unfair and that the safety of everyone's lives is worse than that of a bird.
Law enforcers are not heartless machines.
Law enforcement officers simply cannot guarantee that different people will be sentenced to the same sentence for the same mistake.
For example, Zhang San is a county magistrate. According to the law, if he fights, he will be punished with twenty sticks.
If an ordinary citizen made a mistake, it might be a real 20 blows.
But if his son, boss, or someone from the royal family made a mistake, would he hit him, or dare to hit him 20 times?
Even if it is really 20 blows, will it be as severe as the blows given by ordinary people?
Even in the hereafter,
Having money and background,
You can still reduce the penalty for yourself by finding a lawyer.
It is also said that the Ming Dynasty is now.
The law is a piece of waste paper here.
The whole thing was done without even looking for legal loopholes.
All the crows in the world are as black as black!
In the face of real interests, all the ministers, officials, scholars, candidates, and students in the Ming Dynasty have long formed a close alliance.
Everyone has already reached a consensus. Otherwise, there would be no thorough investigation, and there would be resistance from top to bottom.
If you push harder, there will be a popular uprising.
Faced with such disregard for the law!
Zhu Youjian will naturally not let go of the forces that affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
Aren’t you prone to arrears? Is it easy to incite people to cause trouble?
Well, I will give you a long memory and let you know whose world belongs to this world.
Taking advantage of this civil uprising and the military's blockade of the city, it was a great opportunity to eliminate the cancer in Jiangnan and other places in one fell swoop.
Now, the noble Ming Dynasty has already become a poisonous traitor to the Ming Dynasty.
It will definitely hurt when it is removed.
But if they don't cut it, they will continue to suck the blood of Ming Dynasty and cut off the roots of Ming Dynasty. Sooner or later, Daming will be beaten to death.
In other words, Zhu Youjian controlled the system, the military power of the country, and the public opinion of the Ming Dynasty.
Absolutely loyal biochemical soldiers are responsible for all your food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Otherwise, replace him with any emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It can only be done blindly.
Because they have to face more than just corrupt officials?
It’s a nationwide confrontation!
All dignitaries, officials, gentry, small and medium-sized landowners, and even ordinary people are involved! Not to mention that ordinary emperors can't do anything about this situation.
Even a tyrant, even a foolish king, can only pretend to be blind!
Not because they want to, but because they can’t!
Because once they break this tacit understanding, what they will face may be a coup or even assassinations.
To put it bluntly, the time has come for the Ming Dynasty to change its emperor.
After all, it's not just civil servants involved.
Military commanders are also involved.
Even the eunuchs in the palace would get involved. It's not too easy to kill someone.
Even if this person is the nominal master of Ming Dynasty.
After all, a madman could break into the crown prince's palace and beat him with a stick.
Is it possible that the emperor's assassination is any more rare?
Facing this circumstances.
What should the emperor do? What else can I do but act stupid?
Want to completely solve this problem.
Unless there is a change of government, take advantage of the change of government and take the lead to resolve this matter before the new interest groups become close interest groups.
And in the process of ensuring the continuation of the dynasty, the law has an absolute deterrent to vested interest groups.
Either the emperor has absolute military power. At the same time, he is willing to be a coward and a tyrant.
Otherwise, everyone will be caught blind!
"I have made up my mind. Anyone who stands in the way will be dismissed and investigated!
From now on, Jiangnan Province will enter a state of military control. "
"Martial control? What kind of control is it?"
All of a sudden, the heads of all the officials who were facing upwards were filled with question marks?
However, in order to show that they were not illiterate, no one asked.
At the same time, most of the officials who opposed Zhu Youjian chose to give in, leaving only a few who were removed from their posts and dragged out of the hall at the same time.
