Chapter 210: Nengchen
Chapter 210: A capable minister
Article 7: To employ people in an extraordinary way and promote practical talents, ask Your Majesty to offer rewards to the Duke and Marshals, and to obtain people who have made extraordinary achievements, and also invite the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel to issue a list of talents to recruit talents, regardless of their origin or family background, and to recruit them according to the best.
After seeing the seven pens, Ma Cheng applauded, and even scared the messenger. Qi Jin and the generals were also shocked. Ma Cheng repeatedly pondered these seven suggestions, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that they were unfathomable, and all of them hit the nail on the head.
The feeling in my heart was a bit strange. Is it because I was a time traveler or Lord Yuan? If these seven chapters can be implemented, the Ming Dynasty's revival will be expected. This is really a great man of the Ming Dynasty.
The salt and iron involved were specially sold by the court and were taken back to the country. The court said that the benefits of salt and iron in the world were captured. Then the army commanders would not invade fishing, and there would be no salary on the nine sides, so China could rest assured. I guess Mr. Yuan would still say it.
The strategic resources such as salt, iron, medicines, and minerals should be exclusive to the court, and this is what later generations did.
The seven-dotiao Chan is good at strategy and tactics, and the administration and economy.
Ma Cheng sighed, "Yuan Gong is really the prime minister." There was such a great man as the chief minister of the cabinet, so why did he make a mess today? The Ming Dynasty was not short of capable ministers and good ministers. Zhang Juzheng was the first, and Yuan Keli was the second, and both of them were
He is a capable man with a very strategic vision, but he also understands that it is a lucky chance to have Zhang Juzheng, and it is impossible to have another Yuan Keli. Party struggles, party struggles, and controls the government should naturally be a moral gentleman, like Yuan Keli, who is proficient in practice.
It is a loss of virtue.
From this we can see that the Donglin Party, which controlled the government during the Chongzhen period and scattered the dissidents, was the culprit of the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, and it was indisputable.
However, this Lord Yuan did not form a clique and was not private, so he could only be sent to Denglai. He could not sleep all night and wrote a reply to Yuan Keli, recalling the Liaodong wartime from beginning to end, and wrote
Come down and help Lord Yuan modify his shortcomings. Ma Cheng asked himself that he was just a cavalry company commander, who had been to the military academy for a few years. In terms of governing the country or governing the country, Zhou Yongchun and other veterans of the three dynasties were better at it. For example, Yuan Keli asked
The court sold salt and iron and strategic materials exclusively by the court, which was something that the outsider in Macheng could never have imagined. A reply letter was sealed with fire lacquer, and sealed it, and asked Qi Jin to take the Jiannu hat, helmet and armor seized from Haizhou city.
I picked a batch of weapons and gave them a gift to Lord Yuan. I think Lord Yuan was very happy.
The messenger left in a hurry and left ten large sea boats to enrich the Dongjiang Navy. It was not easy.
After seeing off the messenger and Qi Jin, Qin Bangping sat in the room. It was not easy to chat with Lord Yuan. It was dismissed from office and was demoted for 26 years. It was not easy to get back. No wonder Chen Zhong was a little angry.
In Yuan Keli's life, he had several major cases in Jiangnan and offended all the people.
Qi Jin recalled: "When Duke Yuan was a prosecutor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, his official reputation was very good. In the 20th year of Wanli, Japanese pirates appeared and banned the sea in Wuzhong. Jiangsu and Zhejiang families often framed each other on the charge of encroaching bandits, and launched a large prison, and several times
All the cases were found by Mr. Yuan. I don’t know that Mr. Yuan had patrol the sea in the 22nd year of Wanli and broke a major case with sulfur balls!”
Ma Cheng was very excited to hear that he went out to patrol the sulfur balls. He had never heard of this before, which was very interesting.
Qi Jin is well-known to Zhejiang people, so he started to speak. In the 22nd year of Wanli, a major case of Japanese communication was launched. A thousand general surnamed Li invited Yuan Keli to drink with him. During the meal, he presented three Japanese pirates knives. Yuan Keli examined it.
At that time, the sword face was as smooth as jade and very exquisite, but in the end, he refused to return the sword. Yuan Keli discovered based on his experience that this was not a Japanese sword, but something from Ryukyu.
A few days later, war reports came from the sea, saying that the army had won the battle, killed hundreds of Japanese pirates, captured twenty prisoners, a large number of supplies and ships. However, during the inspection, there was no confession of prisoners of war, and there was no evidence. The case was at a loss.
The military, eager to report the merits, demanded that the case be closed and executed. The inspector felt it was difficult and handed over to the reproach Yuan Keli to investigate.
When Yuan Keli took over, two people were killed and under the stick. The other eighteen people were also dumb with poison. Even if they were not dumb, they could not defend their injustice because of their language. Yuan Keli argued with reason and reported to the court to suspend the offender for the time being.
In prison, Yuan Keli carefully checked all the seized items and was surprised to find that the three Japanese swords he had seen were also among them, and they were reported as spoils. He suddenly realized that the case was very strange and immediately found Qian Li.
The general confronted each other, but Qian Zheng refused to admit that he had falsely accused of being a thief, and insisted that he was the Japanese pirates captured at sea.
Soon, the Ryukyu tribute envoy came to China. Yuan Keli, who was confident, asked them to come and identify them. The tribute envoy identified that these were all good people of Ryukyu. It was a time when he was transporting food at sea because the wind lost his rudder and drifted on the sea and was unfortunately captured by officers and soldiers to pretend to be Japanese pirates.
. Later, these eighteen Ryukyu citizens were acquitted and returned home. In order to thank Yuan Keli for saving his life, they built temple statues in Ryukyu to worship them, respecting them as gods.
Ma Cheng pondered for a long time and knew that he could judge the origin from the three Japanese knives. He was an extremely outstanding judicial official in the Ming Dynasty, far better than those who were the Donglin-mouthed moral gentlemen.
He asked again: "How did Mr. Yuan lose the official position?"
Qi Jin didn't know much, but only knew that it was during the Wanli period, when the Jingdemen in the capital was struck by lightning. Yuan Keli used the excuse to attack and directly advised him, scolding the passive and lazy Emperor Shenzong, which was offended by the emperor Shenzong and was demoted to the civilian.
He worked as a commoner at home for twenty-six years. He also wrote to the court for the people at home, asking for taxes and labor service in the people. He also actively assisted the government in investigating and measuring land. He was a supporter of Zhang Juzheng's reform.
Ma Cheng smiled and said that he was indeed a capable minister, a good minister and a pragmatic man, but he had no political wisdom. He didn't understand the temperament of the old Zhu family, so he was too straightforward. The old Zhu family emperors all had similar temperaments, and if they liked someone, they would die.
If you hate someone, you will never be able to turn over for the rest of your life. This Yuan Gong is not unfair. The judicial official is not born to me and does not know how to scrutinize the will of the saints, and he is not unfair for being abandoned for twenty-six years.
No one is perfect, Emperor Shenzong and Yuan Keli all have personality flaws. Ma Cheng, the people who came from later generations, could see clearly that there was only one Zhang Juzheng, who was both smooth and capable. It was a blessing for the world to produce a Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty.
I have resold my life for the Ming Dynasty, so I can't count on too much.
Despite this, Yuan Keli was still a rare good minister and a rare pragmatic official in the Ming Dynasty. He slept very firmly. Although the pragmatic officials were difficult to survive, Zhou Yongchun and Yuan Keli and other capable ministers eventually formed a force.
As long as you spare no effort to suppress the Donglin Party, these pragmatic officials will continue to emerge.
After waking up, Master Zhou from the capital sent a letter, and the Holy Lord issued an order to search Donglin Academy. The factory guards went out to the south of the Yangtze River and were looking for the remnants of Donglin everywhere. Ma Cheng laughed so happily, and the eunuch party who was scolded, Jiu
Qiansui finally took action? That's right? How can he be called a eunuch if he doesn't frame a few loyal people?
