Emperor Chongzhen has actually been paying attention to this Zhang Pu. Regarding the fact that he was favored by others and slowly accepted the so-called favors, and even bought a luxury compound in Yangzhou Prefecture at an unimaginably low price, Emperor Chongzhen knew it immediately through eavesdropping. .
Emperor Chongzhen did not say how angry he was in such a situation. This was a situation that would naturally occur in officialdom. It all depended on what Zhang Pu himself would do. If he continues and does not change, then he will be no different from most officials. After being an official for a long time, he will become one of the corrupt officials. If he can change and wake up, with Zhang Pu's talents, he can be used further instead of just treating him as a so-called cruel official.
What Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that Jiang Dong, the stall owner of Dongchang, always maintained his original intention and even warned Zhang Pu.
Generally speaking, even if it is the Dongchang that supervises hundreds of officials, many people do not have the heart to serve the country and the people when they first become one of them. It's just that after holding power for a long time, after being attacked by sugar-coated bullets, they often fall into the trap and turn to collude with the officials being monitored.
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen's reign, after he had just traveled through time, he reorganized the factory guards. It has been two years now. Although Jiang Dong is a good person, it does not mean that everyone else is like this.
Emperor Chongzhen was alerted when Zhang Pu's mother told Zhang Pu that he had dragged Jiang Dong into the water. Factory guards still need to be beaten regularly, and the system must ensure the integrity of factory guards.
Emperor Chongzhen thought a lot about this while leading the army to Datong Mansion.
Factory guards who can maintain their original aspirations must be encouraged in time, this is one of them; of course, factory guards who have degenerated must be severely punished immediately, and this kind of rat shit cannot be allowed to stain the surrounding rice.
In addition, the scope of responsibilities of factory health supervision must be rotated.
Take Jiang Dong for example. He has been with Zhang Pu for two years. After getting along for a long time, it is easy for them to fall together. A rotation system is required. In this way, even if Zhang Pu wants to recruit people from the East Factory, the people from the East Factory are often rotated, so the cost of recruiting people will be high. In addition, as long as there is a factory guard who maintains his original intention, Zhang Pu's affairs will be exposed.
Of course, this is just an example. Zhang Pu swore with his severed finger that this subject should be well publicized in official circles, so he introduced Zhang Pu again and called on all officials to learn from Zhang Pu.
From Zhang Pu's incident, Emperor Chongzhen had another thing that he was quite dissatisfied with. Even the officials of the local Metropolitan Procuratorate, because Zhang Pu now had great power and was in a high position, they followed him and fawned over him.
On the other hand, the local procuratorate is responsible for supervising local officials. It is very possible that they will also be attacked by sugar-coated bullets from local officials. It seems that the local metropolitan procuratorate must also implement a rotation system, and inspectors cannot be allowed to stay in one place for a long time. In addition, as a censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he must register his property income at the beginning of taking office. If the income is greater than a certain amount of silver, he must report it within the Metropolitan Procuratorate system. Once it is discovered that there is property that has been concealed or not reported, or the source of the property is unknown. , if the explanation is unclear, the crime will be tried.
In addition, it is forbidden to have any personal relationships with the censors of the local Metropolitan Procuratorate, even if they are friends of the same age. This may be a bit unkind, but Emperor Chongzhen felt that the censor who monitored local officials should keep a distance from other officials. Otherwise, even if no bribes are taken, the two parties will eat and drink, and the friendship will definitely hinder the work of local supervisory officials.
Supervisory officials should be portrayed as unkind, cold-faced officials who are difficult to get close to. Of course, because the local Metropolitan Procuratorate also accepts complaints from the people, it is necessary to understand the people's sentiments. Therefore, we cannot stay in the local procuratorate and have no contact with anyone. We must go out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and go among the people in civilian clothes to listen and understand. At the same time, we must record what we saw during the trip, and finally select the most important ones. The local files of the trip must be kept, and we can even report them to the Capital Procuratorate for the benefit of the capital. , can also have an understanding of the public sentiment across the country.
In addition, the imperial court also needs to understand the life of supervisory officials. It must ensure that they have enough food and clothing, at least not like Hai Rui back then. In short, an upright official can be rich, but an upright official has to wear patched clothes and go out to farm and grow vegetables by himself. If this were to happen, how many Hai Rui would exist?
Regarding Zhang Pu's matter, Emperor Chongzhen thought a lot about the administration of officials. But he felt that this alone was not enough. But you can do things that you have already thought of.
So, while he was camping at night, Emperor Chongzhen wrote a decree, including all his thoughts, and then sent it to the capital. The cabinet, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers, including Dongchang, discussed and supplemented it, and finalized it. Then call him back to confirm.
After finishing this matter, Emperor Chongzhen also led the army to Datong Mansion.
Around Datong Mansion, you can still see traces of the invasion by the Jianlu and Mongolian coalition forces.
Some castles in the surrounding area have strong defensive capabilities. As soon as they saw the beacon fire, everyone hid in the castle and took precautions, so nothing happened. However, everything outside the castle was either robbed or destroyed. It was destroyed and it was devastated.
There were also some forts with weak defensive capabilities. When they saw the beacon signal and knew that the enemies on the grassland were invading, they immediately fled to the surrounding areas to hide. As soon as the Jianlu and Mongols came, they burned everything. Now, the people of Zhuangbao have returned and are rebuilding their homes.
However, the people's own abilities are very limited. Most of them still live in the open air and wait for the houses to be built first.
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen arrived, all the people knelt down to greet him.
At a glance, whether it's their clothes or their facial expressions, it can be seen that the people's lives are not good. Come to think of it, the border area is subject to military disasters all year round. Every autumn, the Mongolian tribes on the grasslands have the custom of raiding the autumn valley, that is, they will enter the border and plunder. In such an environment, it would be strange for the people to live a good life.
It is already September, and the weather in the north has turned colder, especially at night. People are still rebuilding their homes and have no place to stay, so it must be very difficult at night.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little heavy. Ignoring the civil and military officials from Datong Prefecture who came after hearing the news, they got off their horses and walked toward the people under the protection of the royal guards.
He first stepped forward and helped a gray-haired old man up. He did not speak, and the old man did not dare to speak. Then, Emperor Chongzhen helped up another young child next to him and touched his head. His face was sallow and thin, which was really distressing.
Turning around and looking at them, Emperor Chongzhen took a deep breath and suddenly said loudly: "I'm here. This time, I will beat those bastards on the grassland so that they don't dare to enter the border again. I promise, I will do my best to Make sure everyone lives and works in peace and contentment!”
The kneeling people were a little surprised when they heard this. You know, the emperor is very eloquent, and whatever he says will be thrown away. Is it true that the emperor is so sure that the Tartars on the grassland will not dare to enter the border in the future? Is this possible?
Thinking of this, they immediately remembered that at the beginning of last year, didn't the emperor come once and wipe out the Tumote tribe in the Loop outside the pass? In the past, this was something that no one would believe and thought was impossible. However, now, the emperor has said something that seems impossible. However, this is the emperor, maybe it will come true?
Thinking about the day to come, if there really is such a day, I will no longer have to worry about the Tartars from outside the customs entering the customs, no longer need to be frightened, no need to hide here and there, no need to work hard for a year only to be robbed by the Tartars. Such days, I'm afraid it will be the happiest day in the world, right?
Thinking of this, almost all the people fell to the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
If that was the case, with such a powerful emperor, they really hoped that such an emperor would live long and keep them safe forever, and never suffer military disasters again.
Emperor Chongzhen once again helped the white-haired old man who had knelt down again, and at the same time said kindly to the others: "Let's all get back together!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and ordered: "Send the local officials from Datong Prefecture to come over!"
The local officials of Datong Prefecture had long seen the emperor's situation here. Although they were a little far away and did not hear what the emperor said, they saw the excitement of the people and heard the sound of the mountains shouting long live.
At this time, when he heard the emperor's summons, he immediately became worried and came over cautiously. When the magistrate of Datong Prefecture approached, he immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the ministers have already distributed relief food to them in accordance with the court's disaster relief strategy."
The officials behind him also nodded immediately, fearing that the emperor would misunderstand and punish them.
The white-haired old man next to him heard this and saw the prefect looking at him with a cry for help in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment and said to Emperor Chongzhen with a little fear: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the common people are indeed... We have all received the relief food, but if the prefect had not distributed it in time, the poor people would have been hungry."
Knowing that he was coming, it would be really audacious for the local government not to provide disaster relief! Emperor Chongzhen was thinking in his mind, and nodded and looked at the magistrate of Datong Prefecture and said, "You have done a good job. As a local official, you must fulfill your responsibilities as a local official. Now that the whole country is engaged in disaster prevention and relief, we must not be careless about this matter." of."
When the magistrate of Datong Prefecture heard this, he naturally agreed repeatedly, saying that he would never neglect his duties.
Emperor Chongzhen patiently listened to his statement, then turned to look at a military attache behind him and asked him: "Are you the commander of the Datong Guards?"
"The general is here!" That person was the commander of the Datong Guards. Hearing the emperor's roll call, he responded quickly.
After Emperor Chongzhen confirmed it, he said to him in a slightly stern tone: "Immediately send out the garrison troops to build houses for the people affected by the war! Do you understand?"
Although the guard troops at the border are better than those in the interior. But the battle against the steppe Tartars did not mainly rely on them. Letting them participate in disaster relief was considered a legitimate use.
When the commander of the guard station heard this, he was slightly stunned. He had never done this before. However, the emperor issued an order in person, and even if he was given a hundred thousand courages, he would not dare to refuse, so he immediately agreed.
Emperor Chongzhen then turned to look at the magistrate of Datong Prefecture and said: "There is a precedent in Jiangnan for local health offices to participate in disaster relief. In the future, I will issue a decree and this will be added to the functions of local health offices. You are the local chief official and should be responsible for local disasters. If there is a major disaster, you can apply for the Guard Army to participate in disaster relief and report it to the Command and Envoy Department afterwards."
"I obey the order!" Upon hearing this, the magistrate of Datong Prefecture quickly agreed.
It can be heard from the emperor's words that although it is just an example now, it is estimated that this method of disaster relief will be implemented across the country soon.
When the people nearby heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Building a house requires strength. And there are several strong men in the family. But the army is different. When an army comes, they are all powerful. With their help, the house construction speed will definitely be very fast, and they will not have to sleep in the open for a long time.
At this time, they watched Emperor Chongzhen talking to civil and military officials, so they did not dare to express their thanks. However, the eyes they secretly looked at the emperor were full of gratitude.
After dealing with the victims of the military disaster, Emperor Chongzhen led the army into Datong Mansion. He did not rest, but immediately summoned local military forces. Of course, Wu Sangui was also here.
Looking at the generals of Datong Prefecture, the generals of reinforcements and suppression, and their generals at all levels, Emperor Chongzhen said solemnly: "I came here this time to solve the border troubles and eliminate the Jianlu led by Jierhalang and He He. You should know about the Mongolian tribe that is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Then I will tell you something you don’t know."
In the hall, all the generals knew exactly why the emperor came to fight in person. They had actually discussed it privately before Emperor Chongzhen arrived. Although the emperor had the experience of annihilating the Tumut tribe before, this time, if he wanted to annihilate the grassland enemies led by Jianlu, after much deliberation, he seemed to be unable to think of any good way. As a result, they all expressed doubts and worries about the emperor's personal expedition.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's words made them no longer think about the issues they had already thought about. Instead, they were all a little curious, wanting to know what the emperor was going to say that they didn't know.
Emperor Chongzhen looked around them and said loudly: "The capital camp was restructured, the weak were eliminated and the strong were eliminated, and in the end only 5,000 troops were left. It is inevitable to supplement the strength of the capital camp. Therefore, I decided to During the war, soldiers who have made military exploits and performed well can become soldiers of the Beijing camp. I will also promulgate this decree to the soldiers along the border. Did you hear it?"
