Just when Zhu Youjian was about to continue talking, a white homing pigeon flew to the main entrance of the palace.
Look at the black strips of cloth tied to the pigeon's feet.
The expression of the general guarding the palace changed, and he quickly took out a small note from under the pigeon's leg.
After a brief glance, he directly led a horse from the side and galloped towards the Golden Palace, regardless of the obstruction of the guards around him.
Such unusual movements quickly attracted the attention of the palace guards.
After confirming the identity of the other party, the guards in the palace did not stop him.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Yellow River has burst its banks." The general quickly rushed into the Jinluan Palace, knelt down and shouted.
"What, the Yellow River burst its banks? Where did it burst? How were the casualties? Are the disaster relief operations going on?"
Zhu Youjian, who was already on the verge of anger, stood up and asked after hearing the news.
"Your Majesty, the breach occurred at the No. 387 Yellow River section that was just renovated last year. The casualties are still being counted. The local government is organizing forces for rescue."
Although there is no weather forecast now, Zhu Youjian is still clear about the apocalypse situation in the Central Plains and northwest regions.
During this period, due to the drought in Ming Dynasty, I took a rare vacation. However, there is not much precipitation in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River.
And in order to prevent the people from having no money due to the famine, and having nothing to do, and being taken advantage of by interested people, Zhu Youjian vigorously carried out work-for-relief methods to carry out disaster relief.
The Yellow River Basin has taken great efforts to repair it.
Because there were no large equipment, the dams could only be built by hand and small equipment, coupled with the limited funds of the court. Zhu Youjian divided the entire Yellow River project into more than 3,000 sections.
Part of it is built every year.
The No. 387 Yellow River section is just one of the sections and was just completed last year.
"Immediately deploy half of the troops from the nearby guard post for rescue!
Order the surrounding areas to ensure that even if they demolish the homes of landlords and wealthy people, they must provide me with food and clothing for the people in the disaster area.
After the water receded, all the bodies were burned on the spot!
Sprinkle lime near the body.
The people affected by the disaster were divided into groups of a thousand people and settled in scattered places. It was strictly forbidden to move around at will!
Mobilize nearby doctors (doctors) to go to the location of the refugees and supervise them. Once an epidemic occurs, the army will immediately seal off a radius of 20 miles.
The medicinal materials from all the surrounding pharmacies are collected into the official treasury and uniformly prepared under the command of famous doctors.
Purchase medicinal materials from drug stores at a price that is 1.1 times the current price of medicinal materials in the capital. If the local government has no money, it can issue an IOU first and repay it immediately when the disaster relief money from the court arrives.
Anyone who dares to hide medicinal materials will be punished!
Chuanling Tai Hospital immediately dispatched 30 imperial doctors to inspect the disaster area!
Allocate a batch of commonly used medicinal materials from Tai Hospital to the disaster area.
The Ministry of Revenue was ordered to immediately allocate 300,000 taels of silver and 30,000 shi of grain for disaster relief via the railway. "
"Send orders to the Jinyi Guards to immediately arrest the person responsible for building the dam!"
Zhu Youjian knew that God would not give him face during his reign, so he had already made a series of preparations to deal with disasters.
In this case of embankment bursting, the corresponding strategies were used.
As for arresting the person responsible for building the dam, there is no injustice at all.
Since ancient times, most embankments have burst due to continuous rainfall.
But where does the continuous rainfall come from in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River?
If you say this is not dregs of tofu, even a fool will not believe it.
"Send an order to the Imperial Guard to dispatch 500 elite troops to investigate the recently constructed water conservancy.
The imperial guards were ordered to dispatch 500 elites to inspect the disaster relief situation. If anyone was found to be corrupt, they would stand back and not do things properly. You can cut it first and then play it. "
During the construction of those projects, Zhu Youjian secretly sent a large number of Jinyi guards and secret guards to supervise, but Zhu Youjian did not get any news about such a large and shabby project.
This made Zhu Youjian very disappointed with them.
He even suspected that someone had stopped the Jinyi Guards and Secret Guards from uploading the news.
In order to prevent anyone from causing trouble, Zhu Youjian became a blind man during the disaster relief situation!
After spending a lot of money, the people did not get any help, but instead gained some fattening.
Zhu Youjian had no choice but to send out his most trusted army, the imperial guards, and at the same time gave them the right to kill first and then report later!
"Why are you still hanging around? The cabinet minister will stay behind, and the rest will go back to work immediately. If I find out who is holding me back, I will punish him!"
.....
Power is a delicious poisonous wine!
If you are not careful, you will be poisoned.
As the saying goes, a country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change!
But power can indeed corrupt a scholar who is motivated to make decisions for the people into a dog official who is despised by everyone.
Of course, for a scholar to become a dog official, in addition to the poisonous wine of power, the environment also plays a large part.
Therefore, if we want to ensure the purity of the officialdom, we cannot allow a fish to slip through the net.
One corrupt official who slipped through the net can bring hundreds of corrupt officials with him within half a year.
Throughout the ages, countless emperors have believed that the pig-raising model can have two benefits for rulers.
1. Kill corrupt officials and gather people’s hearts.
2. Kill corrupt officials and collect money.
But what about the reality?
Once you put down the knife to kill corrupt officials, when you want to pick it up again, you will find that the whole court is full of corrupt officials.
The dog-killing knife is in the dog's hand, how do you kill it?
If you kill with force, you will find that at some point, the knife has reached your neck.
Therefore, once Ming Dynasty starts killing corrupt officials, it must not stop.
Nor should we be lenient to some people because of their special status. Otherwise sooner or later there will be corrupt officials everywhere.
Before, Zhu Youjian still had to wait.
Wait for those officials you secretly cultivated to grow up. Wait until the talents trained by basic education come out.
Waiting for the Ming Dynasty Official Behavior Manual to be completed.
But when something like this happened, Jin Yiwei didn't give himself any limelight, which completely ignited the anger in Zhu Youjian's heart.
"From today on, anyone who is found to have committed corruption or bribery, no matter how noble his or her status, will be cut into pieces and thrown into the traitor temple, and the next five generations will not be allowed to serve in the government. This article will be the first article of the Ming Dynasty Law from today on.
From now on, no matter who dares to protect corrupt officials. Same crime! If the emperor shields corrupt officials, the emperor will automatically be deposed! This article is the second article of the Ming Dynasty Law. "
"In order to avoid someone deliberately framed Zhongliang,..."
In normal times, perhaps only the founding emperor would be qualified to speak directly and establish laws.
No matter how powerful the other emperors were, it was difficult for them to have the power of the founding emperor. Moreover, they were too preoccupied with their own reputations.
It's just a joke to say it as a rule.
But now, Zhu Youjian, with millions of elites in his hands, is chasing the Jiannu in the east and pacifying Mongolia in the north. Coupled with the continuous disaster reduction over the years and previous "miracles".
His power has long been no less than that of the founding emperor.
The basic conditions for words to become laws are already in place.
And at this juncture, who dares to ask questions?
Everyone is not a fool. The law is unwritten and there is no crime.
Since His Majesty has re-legislated it, he will naturally not use this law against previous officials.
As for corrupt officials in the future, there is nothing we can do to seek death, right?
Corrupt officials, no matter how clean they are, will always be beasts! It's a beast!
We all need face, so who dares to clear the name of a corrupt official openly?
Who dares to stop His Majesty from adding this to the Ming Law?
Don't tell me whether I can get out of this door smoothly.
Even if His Majesty lets him go, how will the people in the world view him?
Where to put your reputation?
