Zhao Xun could only severely deter the performance of these officials, and in addition, he could only train scholars through various academies. However, in the process of training, they should know what can be done and what can not be done.
This is related to the issue of virtue and talent. It has achievements, but it also has many mistakes. There are also many such people. Some mistakes can be exempted from crime, but they are not even big. Some mistakes constitute crimes. After all, merits and demerits cannot be offset.
.For these people, Zhao Xun had to deal with them according to the law.
Speaking of supervising officials, Zhao Xun remembered the secret memorials from the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Xun was considering whether it was also among the officials to arrange such secret memorials from the officials.
The so-called secret memorial is actually a small report, which means that it cannot be reported publicly. It requires a secret appointment and formally formed in writing with the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the emperor wanted to control everything, but he could not ignore the actual situation of the ministers. So, is that so?
A system that can not only meet the needs of the emperor, but also avoid unnecessary troubles caused by ministers due to public reporting?
In the Ming Dynasty, inhering in the system of the previous dynasty, officials could write to the emperor in two ways: title books and memorials. Among them, Impeachment, military, horses, money, grain, judicial and other official matters were title books, and private matters were title books. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was also
Following this system. However, the drafting and writing procedures of the title book are complicated, and it must be written in imitation Song font, with yellow and folded surfaces required for abstracts, and copying copies are also required. After the production is completed, the Transportation Administration Department will be transferred to the cabinet and passed through the cabinet.
The bachelor's review, drafted and submitted it to the emperor. After the emperor reviewed it, it was then copied and copied in Chinese, and then returned. It was too complicated.
In addition, the question book is easy to leak. The question book has been written by the author, the General Secretary, the Cabinet, the Emperor, the copyist, etc., and there are many links, and many people can't avoid being leaked. Although the question book is simpler than the question book, it requires experience.
The same links as the question book also have the flaws that are easy to leak.
During the Shunzhi period, in order to avoid these inconveniences, a new form of document was created - memorials. Memorials were free to write, and there was no need to add yellow, and the writing was quick, and there was no need to send them to the Tongzheng and envoys to the cabinet. They could be submitted directly.
The emperor personally read the instructions, which is very confidential.
The affairs of the country are so complicated. Some things only need to be informed by the emperor and cannot be communicated publicly. Therefore, a memorial that can only be known by the emperor is called secret memorial or secret memorial.
Secret memorials first appeared in the Shunzhi Dynasty. After Kangxi ascended the throne, the role of secret memorials became more and more important. Kangxi believed that the use of secret memorials could make "people cannot deceive me, nor dare to deceive me", so he implemented them and ordered his confidants to be civil and military ministers.
He often "accompanies Chen's secret memorials, so the affairs of various provinces cannot deceive the hidden secrets." There are more than 3,000 secret memorials from the Kangxi Dynasty, which were presented by more than a hundred people, indicating that the use of secret memorials is more extensive than during the Shunzhi period.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne, in order to directly understand the situation, purify the administration of officials, strengthen the imperial power and consolidate the rule, he vigorously promoted secret memorials and established a strict system. The ministers and ministers and other officials reported one shift every day, and secret memorials were reported.
Fengjin. At the same time, the bureaucratic ranks with power in the Yongzheng Dynasty expanded significantly compared with the Kangxi Dynasty. According to statistics, there were only more than 100 officials who had secretly reported the affairs of the Kangxi Dynasty, while the Yongzheng Dynasty grew to more than 1,200 in just 13 years.
.The Grand Secretary, General Officer, and the governors, governors, governors, towns, vassals, and statutes can all report secretly on the political, military, economic, administration, and customs of the people.
In addition, the Yongzheng Dynasty secret folding system has been procedurally, from the time of copying, packing, passing, reviewing, sending and collecting, all running in an orderly manner. The secret folding must be written by someone, put into the folding box, and then delivered.
In order to receive, review and process secret remarks in a timely manner, Emperor Yongzheng established an agency dedicated to transfer and accept secret remarks - the memorial office, which is received by a special memorial officer and transferred to the secret remarks. All officials with the power to transfer the memorial officer will
It was Emperor Yongzheng who was placed in the bureaucrats, and the person who was reported was secretly supervised by one or several other persons, forming a situation of mutual surveillance. In this way, everyone was in a state of surveillance.
The secret memorial system allows the emperor to directly handle common affairs and strengthens the imperial power. In addition, secret memorials do not go through the Tongzheng Department of the Government, the cabinet and other institutions. Therefore, things can often be determined quickly, greatly improving administrative efficiency. In addition, local officials are also allowed to
To restrict each other and not dare to violate the law and abusive power will be conducive to the purgation of officials.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Xun still did not arrange anything. He had to do it himself, and now was not a good time. However, Zhao Xun still ordered the officials of the Supervision Department to keep secrets when inspecting officials.
…………
Lingzhou Prefecture is in the hands of Zhao Xun, so Zhao Xun will naturally not let it go. Zhao Xun still knows about maritime trade. The world is big and there are many countries. On the sea, there is no need to talk about the profits of trade in the future and the sea.
Inquiry encouraged merchants from Lingzhou Prefecture to go overseas to trade and build shipyards. For a while, many merchants gathered in Lingzhou Prefecture.
"Lord, there are two merchants from Lingzhou Prefecture asking for a visit! They said they wanted to cooperate with the merchants under the lord's name to trade at sea." Wei Dong reported.
Because Zhao Xun has been busy discussing maritime trade with merchants recently, Wei Dong will report to the merchant for a visit.
"Let them come in!" Zhao Xun said with a smile. The war has stopped. Apart from teaching children every day and looking at government affairs, there is nothing important. If the maritime trade can be done well, it will be a great thing.
.You must know that there are many unique specialties on other continents.
"Xiaomin has met the Grand Governor!" A moment later, two middle-aged people appeared in front of Zhao Xun.
"Sit down!"
After a simple conversation, Zhao Xun discovered that these two people were actually merchants in Yangzhou and were not under his jurisdiction. One was Zhang Yunqi and the other was Gu Fei.
"Yangzhou businessman? I'm very surprised that Yangzhou is much better than us. Why do you two come back to me to seek cooperation?" Zhao Xun said with a frown. Yangzhou is located in the south, and the terrain is excellent at going to the sea, facing east and south, all
It is better than the Lingzhou Prefecture, no one will leave the distance, and it will take this extra effort.
Zhang Yunqi smiled bitterly and said, "Our Zhang family and their Gu family were both top big merchants in Yangzhou in the past. They were definitely rich in Yangzhou. They had dozens of caravans under their command, all on the roads on the sea, traveling around the north and south. Among them,
There are also two or three shipyards.”
"With too much money, can't you hold it?" Zhao Xun said curiously.
Zhang Yunqi nodded and said, "Yes, since the death of the former emperor, Yangzhou has slowly fallen into the hands of the King of Qi. For the second, we need a lot of money and we are slaughtered.
The object. Overnight, the sky turned upside down and the teacup of the house was gone."
Zhang Yunqi smiled bitterly and shook her head, and then said, "The same is true for Gu Fei's family, but because they got the government, it's a little better. Gu Fei and I are friends who have been playing together since childhood, so we are in a downturn.
Brother Gu helped me. In just three years, I have made a lot of money through maritime trade. To this day, our two caravans have more than ten sea boats."
"As we grow, other wealthy businessmen who have close ties with the government naturally look at us. Fortunately, we are alert and cannot be so good by the government. At most, we need to pay more when we go to sea or return.
We have endured these difficulties, after all, the people will not fight with the officials.”
"Unfortunately, with the battle between the two guards and the Grand Commander in Qingzhou, all the Yangzhou naval army was killed. The Yangzhou naval general was eager to restore his strength, so he began to confiscate qualified sea ships to transform them into warships.
.”
Zhao Xun said: "So, are you the ones who were collected?"
Zhang Yunqi smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, in fact, not many of our fleet meet the conditions, only three. But because of the instigation of the hostile wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou, our entire fleet is being collected.
,How could we be willing to help us, take our family out, flee Yangzhou, and enter Lingzhou Prefecture."
In conjunction with the information from the Shadow Department, what Zhang Yunqi said is true. The Yangzhou navy's fleet that was not worthy of assisting the guards accounted for more than a quarter of the Yangzhou navy, almost one-third of the number.
The warships were all captured by the Xiaoguo Army, how could the Yangzhou navy not replenish them?
Therefore, the Yangzhou navy rushed to collect Yangzhou sea ships and transformed them into warships to enrich the strength of the Yangzhou navy. In addition, in Yangzhou, the maritime merchants need to pay far more taxes when sailing than those of the Xiaoguo army.
.And not only has high tax rates, but also a wide variety, which greatly reduces the interest of maritime merchants in sailing.
There is no doubt that Zhao Xun's policy, coupled with the policy of encouraging maritime trade, was warmly welcomed by merchants. This kind of maritime trade is not just a trade from south to north, but a trip to the Great Yan Kingdom and arrives in other places.
, conduct trade.
Everyone knows that there are many countries on the other side of the sea and many ways to make money. Strong merchants are quietly ready to show their strength and become rich overnight. To develop maritime trade, the first condition is to have a ship, and
It is a sea ship that can carry out ocean voyages. Therefore, the shipyards in Lingzhou Prefecture are also very popular now, and the orders of several shipyards have been taken three years later. Therefore, Zhang Yunqi and Gu Fei are naturally unwilling to build their own hard work.
The fleet paid in vain, not to mention that the Yangzhou government was the culprit of destroying its family.
You know, even the shipyard in Lingzhou Prefecture is now working day and night to produce sea ships, but the shipyard's manufacturing capacity is limited, and it takes nearly a year to build a sea ship. In a hurry, these ten more times
The value of a large sea ship can be imagined.
Although the Xiaoguo Army and the Yangzhou Navy are not in the way, the merchant ships traveling from south to north will not sink or capture. Of course, if your business target is Yangzhou, I'm sorry, the tax revenue will be more than others.
Yes, Zhao Xun will not stop the merchant ships in Yangzhou. If there is any ban, a notice will be issued in advance. For example, the last time the guards were blocked, the Xiaoguo Army made a clear notice, prohibiting the transportation of food and military supplies to the guards.
Entry, other things will not be blocked.
"Where are your fleets now?" Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice.
"Now it is docked in the seaport of Donglin County, Lingzhou Prefecture, and there are a total of fifteen large sea boats that can be voyed far away." Zhang Yunqi replied.
"What are your freight items on weekdays?" Zhao Xun asked. Zhao Xun knew that such long-distance ships often drifted on the sea for a year, sailed very far, and even arrived in the European continent.
"Mainly silk and porcelain! These things are definitely rare in other places, and in some places, they are more expensive than gold." Zhang Yunqi said with a smile.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you will settle down in my Xiaoguo Army and go to the Commercial Bureau to hang out your name. You are the merchants under my Xiaoguo Army. Sail again and hang out with the banner of my Xiaoguo Army.
Whether it is Yangzhou navy or Yangzhou government, I dare not understand you at all."
