Huangji Gate, the morning court was held again that morning.△Xiao,...o&1t;/p>

"Long live the ten thousand emperors, long live, long live."&1t;/p>

"Flat."&1t;/p>

After the ministers bowed, they stood up one by one. The faces of the officials in the court had changed a lot. A group of senior officials of the Donglin Party were all dismissed or arrested for review.&1t;/p>

All officials showed that the emperor burned a charcoal furnace in the hall this morning. The tribute charcoal was all red charcoal, each of which was shiny black and odorless when burned, and the firepower was lasting.&1t;/p>

Before the morning court, the emperor did not put charcoal furnaces on them, and many officials were frozen. This time, the emperor started to care about his subordinates. Not only did he put charcoal furnaces on them, but he also brought chairs to give seats to older officials.&1t;/p>

Previously, Zhu Youxiao, the morning court, had no way to discuss government affairs with these officials, and the relationship between the two sides was very stiff. This time, there was already a political force supported by Zhu Youxiao himself in the court, so naturally we had to do things well.&1t;/p>

"If you have something to report, you will leave the court without anything to do."&1t;/p>

"I have a copy to report." Wang Shaohui, the Minister of Personnel, came out and bowed to him.&1t;/p>

"Accurate."&1t;/p>

"Report to the emperor, the cabinet, and the six ministries are now seriously vacant. We should immediately recommend the vacancies to ensure the normal operation of government affairs." Wang Shaohui said.&1t;/p>

"Accurate."&1t;/p>

"The snake cannot do without a head, so we should first recommend the East Pavilion vacancy. I recommend the East Pavilion Grand Secretary Shen Wei as the East Pavilion Grand Secretary." Wang Shaohui expressed his efforts. Who will be the assistant to this cabinet? The emperor has already decided on the inside. Now the recommendation is just a formality.&1t;/p>

Of course, the emperor could not take the route of recommendation and act arbitrarily. Fang Congzhe was appointed by Emperor Wanli himself. The other parties were naturally unhappy. Emperor Wanli simply removed all the people in the cabinet. As a result, only Fang Congzhe was in the cabinet, and he was the only one in the cabinet, and he had been there for six years.&1t;/p>

Therefore, Fang Congzhe is a veteran official of the royal family, so his incense is naturally not comparable to other officials.&1t;/p>

Since a group of political forces have been supported in the court, Zhu Youxiao naturally does not need to use any brute force.&1t;/p>

"I'm going to discuss it."&1t;/p>

"I'm going to discuss it."&1t;/p>

At this time, a group of "eunuch party" officials came out to discuss the matter, and other Donglin party officials were all trembling and did not dare to come out to cause the emperor's bad luck.&1t;/p>

In less than a month, the Donglin Party had lost more than 60 officials and was implicated in all three tribes. Anyone could see that the emperor had an objection to the Donglin Party.&1t;/p>

Just fight corruption! Just keep an eye on the Donglin Party for Mao? Those Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Propaganda Party will be clean?&1t;/p>

The emperor used high-sounding reasons to curate the Donglin Party. These Donglin Party had no other way except spreading rumors.&1t;/p>

It’s a pity that this trick is not very effective in the north, especially in the northern Zhili area. Instead, it made the emperor completely ruin the reputation of the Donglin Party.&1t;/p>

At present, the Donglin Party still has the upper hand in the southern region, and the rumors spread have still deceived many ignorant people. And those businessmen, the powerful and powerful, did know the truth, but the emperor harmed their interests, so naturally everyone promoted Zhu Youxiao to become a foolish monarch.&1t;/p>

However, the southern provinces obviously cannot get into chaos, so Zhu Youxiao didn’t care much. Just don’t be in chaos in the north. Once the north is in chaos, the Ming Dynasty will be over.&1t;/p>

Since ancient times, the emperors were not good at war. It was a fact that the south was not good at war. Only when the whole nation was united and the productivity was produced, the south could compete with the north, such as the Song Dynasty.&1t;/p>

The south was controlled by the gentry and chaebols, and it was already in a state of high autonomy. Some people in later generations shouted that they could only throw the north to the thieves and wild boar skins in the late Ming Dynasty, and then moved the capital to the south. If so, what should hundreds of millions of people in the north do? Moreover, the population and foundation of the north were thrown to the thieves and wild boar skins. If others integrated resources, they would blow up the chaotic South without even a single blow?&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao’s current goal is to maintain stability in the north and integrate resources. Since the south is already highly autonomous, it can only collect some taxes for the time being, so it is not realistic to impose a comprehensive commercial tax. As long as the north can be stable and not allow the thieves and wild boar skins to obtain population, the thieves and wild boar skins are not worth worrying about.&1t;/p>

After all, the South has always been seeking money but not officials, and the military threat is very small. As long as you protect yourself from being killed by evil spirits, you can spread rumors and spread rumors. When the North has cleared it, you can naturally turn your troops against the southern aristocrats and chaebols.&1t;/p>

In addition, the people in the south are at least not starving to death now, so they don’t need to be rescued so urgently.&1t;/p>

So the Donglin Party is currently in the capital and has become a big villain that everyone calls for. This morning, seeing a group of "eunuch party" is also crowded, it is obviously not very meaningful to jump out, so I have to continue to stand silently.&1t;/p>

"Accurate."&1t;/p>

"My memory, Shen Qi, thank you." Shen Qi looked a little excited. The Grand Secretary of the Donggeshi is the prime minister! It is definitely the pinnacle of his career.&1t;/p>

Just get to ding, it will be a great achievement in your life.&1t;/p>

"I elect Cui Chengxiu as the Minister of Revenue..."&1t;/p>

"Minist forum"&1t;/p>

"Minist forum"&1t;/p>

"Accurate."&1t;/p>

"My minister recommends..."&1t;/p>

"Accurate."&1t;/p>

"Accurate."&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao repeated one word over and over again, and he was too lazy to say one more word. The group of Donglin parties below even covered their faces and looked at it. Even if they were just doing a formality, be careful! What does it mean to repeat the reading machine?&1t;/p>

This is a spoils-sharing conference, a group of eunuchs were promoted by the Rockets, and they soared into the sky one by one.&1t;/p>

From the Six Ministers to the Six Ministers of the Secretariat, all the ministers of the Ministry of Education were replaced by eunuch party officials.&1t;/p>

"The evil party restores the world, the misfortune of the people." At this time, a low sigh came from the ministers, and many people heard it. A group of people turned their heads and looked at it, but the eunuchs showed a proud smile on their faces. With the emperor as their backer, they were so confident.&1t;/p>

Although there are still many Donglin Party mascots in the court, they are no longer able to stop the eunuch party from dividing the spoils. This open act of dividing the spoils is also very hatred.&1t;/p>

The results of the split of the spoils have been agreed before, so naturally there is no need to worry too much.&1t;/p>

"My dear friends, this anti-corruption campaign has achieved great results, but it can be said to be shocking. Corruption in the officialdom has become a popular trend. I have been thinking for a long time, and many officials have actually had their salaries too low. Therefore, I decided to increase the salary of the ministers. What do you think?" Zhu Youxiao raised the issue.&1t;/p>

"What the emperor said is very good, but the court's finances are in a difficult position and there are many officials across the country. It is better to increase the salary in batches and wait for the court's finances to be abundant before it can be improved." Fu Chenyan suggested.&1t;/p>

"Then the cabinet will get a plan!" Zhu Youxiao ordered that the cabinet is still the main force in handling government affairs, so it must do things, otherwise why should it be supported?&1t;/p>

After the cabinet has processed it, it will be sent to the Sili Supervisor for approval.&1t;/p>

Sometimes Zhu Youxiao doesn’t want to deal with government affairs, so he can let the queen and the others do it. They don’t need to be too independent, as long as they can evaluate the plans proposed by the cabinet according to various principles.&1t;/p>

Then the cabinet, the rank of the harem, and the harem will be restrained. As long as Zhu Youxiao does not ignore the government for a long time, there will be no problems. After all, if there is a problem, there will inevitably be reactions among the three parties. It is easy to understand which party the problem lies.&1t;/p>

"I obey the order."&1t;/p>

After the court was dispersed that day, the reorganized cabinet held some discussions. Soon a plan was proposed to increase the salary of officials who were prone to corruption.&1t;/p>

First, all the officials in the capital will be given a salary, and then all the officials such as local county magistrates, prefects, prefects, governors, and governors will be given a salary. The salary of these top leaders will be given first.&1t;/p>

The salary of Ming officials can only be said to be almost the lowest in history.&1t;/p>

The monthly salary of the official who has not yet entered the market is 3 s of rice, and the official first-rank official is 87 s of rice. If you want to say that according to this salary, the official first-rank official cannot even afford a house in the capital.&1t;/p>

So it means that there are actually no truly honest officials, and those who are superiors and subordinates respect them, even the most honest officials will be accepted. This is already a hidden rule.&1t;/p>

Those honest officials of the Donglin Party are actually considered honest on the basis of ignoring the unspoken rules. If you really want to investigate, everyone will have a handle.&1t;/p>

The monthly salary for this time is 1 ooo yuan (original salary of 87 shi), 9 ooo yuan (original salary of 72 shi), 8 ooo yuan (original salary of 61 shi), 7 ooo yuan (original salary of 48 shi), 6 ooo yuan (original salary of 35 shi), 5 ooo yuan (original salary of 26 shi), 45 ooo yuan from the fourth shi, 4 ooo yuan from the fifth shi, 3 ooo yuan from the fifth shi, 25 ooo yuan from the sixth shi, 2 ooo yuan from the sixth shi, 18 ooo yuan from the seventh shi, 15 ooo yuan from the seventh shi, 13 ooo yuan from the eighth shi, 1oo yuan from the eighth shi, 8 ooo yuan from the nineth shi, 5 ooo yuan from the nineth shi, 2 ooo yuan from the fifth shi, 3 ooo yuan from the fifth shi, 2 ooo yuan from the sixth shi, 2 ooo yuan from the sixth shi, 18 ooo yuan from the seventh shi, 13 ooo yuan from the eighth shi, 1oo yuan from the eighth shi, 5 ooo yuan from the nineth shi, 2 o yuan from the fiveth shi, 2 o yuan from the fifth shi, 2 o yuan from the fifth shi, 2 o yuan from the sixth shi, 2 o yuan from the sixth shi, 10 ooo yuan from the seventh shi, 13 ooo yuan from the eighth shi, 10 ooo yuan from the nineth shi, 5 o yuan from the nineth shi, 2 o yuan (original salary of 3 shi).&1t;/p>

There were only more than 30,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty. For such a huge country, this number was incredibly small and almost the lowest in history among all major dynasties. However, at this time, like later generations, there were many temporary workers without staff.&1t;/p>

However, if you raise your salary in full, the court does not have any money.&1t;/p>

Therefore, this time, the official position of the capital was first promoted to the capital and the top local leader. In the capital, the cabinet rank was relatively low, with only the fifth rank. However, after this salary increase, the cabinet auxiliary also enjoyed the monthly salary of the first rank, while the second rank enjoyed the monthly salary of the first rank.&1t;/p>

After the salary increase, about 2,000 officials enjoyed the new salary standard, and more than 1,000 non-income officials enjoyed the monthly salary of 20 yuan.&1t;/p>

The annual increase in fiscal expenditure is more than 10,000 yuan. From a national perspective, this expenditure is actually not a big money. Although it is only more than 1,000 officials, because officials of higher ranks are basically in the capital.&1t;/p>

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao took out another 50,000 yuan and sent it to the "Eunuch Party", which was actually the Apocalypse Party. Wei Zhongxian was beaten to the tax bureau by Zhu Youxiao at this time. The command of these Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Propaganda Party horsemen was Zhu Youxiao personally commanded, and the subordinates were the cabinet assistants.&1t;/p>

The reason why I gave another salary in private is mainly because since these officials defected to the emperor, the emperor naturally could not treat them unfairly.&1t;/p>

However, while this batch of silver was sent down, there were three rules. If anyone dared to embezzle again, the consequences would be extremely serious. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
