Chapter 637: The ruler and ministers discuss the matter of relocating the big clan
"These two people thought of going together, and they both said in the letter that the fifth prince thought of it. I didn't expect that the fifth brother would still notice this!"
At this moment, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
However, Zhu Youxiao admitted that knowing the geographical situation of the Western Regions and drawing corresponding maps is indeed a very important thing for the imperial defense.
It is indeed rare for the fifth prince Zhu Cizhuo to have this consciousness.
In Zhu Youxiao's memory, in history, the success of Zuo Zongtang's regaining Xinjiang was related to Lin Zexu's previous map of the place after he was demoted to Yili, which was one of the factors that led to Zuo Zongtang's successful regaining Xinjiang.
Zhu Youxiao therefore ordered Liu Hongxun and other auxiliary ministers: "This is indeed very important. Reply to Heguo Duke and allow it to be implemented. The Ministry of War recommended an official to choose a surveying and mapping team to the Western Regions!"
"Abide by the order!"
Lu Xiangsheng, who was in charge of the Ministry of War, replied: "Your Majesty had mentioned that you should add a patrol station in the world before, and the retired officers and soldiers arranged it, including the Baigan soldiers, the Privy Council, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War in the southwest, decided to submit the communiqué of Chengguo, who was too old to be discharged from the land, according to their military qualifications, try to arrange it to the non-southwest areas, especially the Jiangnan area."
"Because the next step involves the relocation of the great clans in Jiangnan. Therefore, if the retired soldiers are arranged as many as possible to serve as officials in the vention center in Jiangnan, it is naturally possible to avoid collusion between local clerks and noble clans and obstruct the new policy of relocation of the great clans, which is conducive to the implementation of the plan to relocation of the great clans!"
"Very good! Just do it."
Zhu Youxiao said again: "The relocation of large clans is something that must be done nowadays, and there must be no mistakes."
"Yes! The government order to move the major clans was declared. Jiangnan was the governor and inspector in charge, while India was the governor of India Zhang Tongchang, while in the court, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of Revenue Cai Yichen and Minister of Revenue Zhang Jie."
Lu Xiangsheng replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked Han Zanzhou again: "What is the public opinion on this matter?"
Han Zanzhou replied: "Return to the emperor, according to reports from the people under the Dongchang, the division of the large clan was supported by ordinary peasant scholars and small landlords and small merchants, because the families of these scholars were bullied and even merged with each other! The scholars from the great family were naturally unhappy, and believed that the division of the large clan was a harsh rule, and they forced to break up their flesh and blood despite human ethics and feelings. Some even said that this was atrocity, and they were about to ask the emperor to issue an order, what should be done with those who speak too much?"
"Start carefully first!"
"The plan that divides the large clans is beneficial to the country and nation's future, and it must be implemented no matter what!"
"The key now is to prevent this matter from being completely implemented and achieving the effect we want to see. Let me tell you, if this matter cannot achieve the actual effect the court wants, what will be the cause?"
As Zhu Youxiao said this, he asked about his assistants.
Yuanfu Liu Hongxun replied first: "Report to Your Majesty, as long as the local governor must do his job in a solid manner, the government orders for the transfer of major clans will not encounter any obstacles when they are implemented! But there is no guarantee that there will be major clans who do not understand the original intention of the court and are dissatisfied, but they should not cause any big waves! The court now has a lot more official officers in Jiangnan than before, and their control is much stronger. Moreover, there are also additional patrol stations and more white-rod soldiers who have been retired and transferred to the local area! These white-rod soldiers are not familiar with the local people, and will naturally implement the government orders of the court in the short term."
After Liu Hongxun said this, Wen Tiren followed and analyzed: "If the gentry wants to fight against the imperial decrees, they can only be carried out by colluding with the government. Therefore, your Majesty, from my opinion, if there are any mistakes in the new policy of relocating the major clans this time, then the mistakes will only come from the problems of our court bureaucrats themselves!"
"If bureaucrats want to fail to achieve the goal that the court wants without violating the imperial decrees, either the superiors have policies and countermeasures. The superiors and subordinates collude together to change the list, change the local large households into small households, and small households are transformed into large households. Although the people who are relocated in this way are large households, they are actually small households. Small households are weak in power, and even if there are complaints, it is difficult to let the court know. Even if they are promoted, they will be easily suppressed!"
"Either take the opportunity to make a fortune, or use collusion between superiors and subordinates. If the large households who need to be moved to a better place, they must pay the bank privately. If the large households who need to be moved without being moved away and move away a house of the same clan or are converted into a small household, they naturally have to pay the bank privately!"
Wen Tiren continued to say this: "Although Your Majesty has always severely punished those who are greedy, the benefits are very generous. Moreover, there are many officials involved in this new policy, from the central court to local provincial governments and prefectures. It is difficult to guarantee that no one will be lucky and want to take the opportunity to make money! There is no cat in this world who does not steal fishy food, so my ministers believe that the evil of human nature must be guarded against. They should be covered with their eyes and say strict national laws, which will make the officials and workers in the world fear. If you find it, you should naturally be severely punished! In order to prevent the use of the good government, which is originally intended to suppress annexation and benefit the people's livelihood, it has really become a harsh government that disturbs the people and makes the people resent! "
"Immigration has never been a decree that can make the migrants happy, especially the forced immigration led by the court. However, if the reason is made and the situation of corruption is not too big a problem."
Zhu Youxiao said that, and Xuan met Han Zanzhou and said, "You Dongchang must conduct a close investigation. No matter who it is, once you find out that he is intending to disrupt the court's orders, you must report to me immediately. If I let me know, no one in your Dongchang did this, I will not spare me!"
"The Insider understands!"
...
"You should already understand what I mean. You just need to tell them that this is a chance to get rich, and don't just say it's what I mean, just say it's what you mean! They will naturally understand!"
The cabinet minister Cai Yichen was giving instructions to his confidant slave Niu San.
Niu San agreed: "Young people understand! Please rest assured! I'm afraid that the young people don't have to say that after they know that the relocation of the big clan is the matter of the Ministry of Revenue, they will know what they should do after they know that the matter of relocation to the big clan is the matter of the Ministry of Revenue.
Cai Yichen smiled and said, "I hope this is the case, but I have to let them know that this is the kindness of His Highness the Seventh Prince. After they know it, they will naturally know that I dare to do this because the seventh prince is the Bodhisattva who is suppressed."
After Cai Yichen said this, he looked at Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, look, what else do you have to give?"
Although Zhu Cihui was just a clerk in the official department, he sat in the top position because he was a prince and said, "Of course there are!"
"Please give your order."
Niu San replied tactfully.
"We must also let them know that the Emperor's meaning is the eldest son."
Zhu Cihuang started talking.
After hearing this, Cai Yichen hurriedly flattered him: "Your Highness is so clever!"
Zhu Cihui laughed out loud: "I don't know what my father would think if he learned that his elder brother was demolishing his rear guard behind his back!"
Chapter completed!
