In a court debate, the chief minister of the cabinet requested a tax investigation case, and the emperor approved it.
The self-tax case rose and the strange peace that enveloped the capital was instantly broken under this resolution.
The complexity of not being able to be cleaned up is also completely revealed with this resolution.
Even the emperor is difficult to see clearly what the final direction of this storm will be.
There are thousands of people and thousands of faces. Everyone has their own interests and every faction has their own interests.
Unless at the beginning, the emperor will directly intervene and end with thunderous means.
Otherwise, the complexity of the spread and evolution will be now.
The emperor's interests also changed little by little as the case evolved.
From suspicion at the beginning, to a little bit of temptation, to sitting and watching, and finally, to now, to the interest in Liu Qiyuan.
Compared to the illegality of the Wuxun represented by the case, what the emperor cared more about was naturally the class contradiction.
Martial merits are illegal and can be cracked down at any time, but this class contradiction has lasted for more than ten years, and it has been a continuous disaster until now and even in the future.
It is much more important to have a slight change than this case.
After all, there is a world of difference between proactive cooperation and forced transformation!
What's more, it's still related to the rule of the whole world!
This year's end is exactly the same as the end of Zhaowu's fourth year that has just passed.
The same storm related to taxes, and the people involved are also powerful.
However, although one is powerful, he is a slave to the emperor, and this one is a representative of the ruling order.
No one can see clearly what the final result will be. At least, at the end of this year, it is impossible for a result to appear.
Another new year is approaching, and the festive meaning is beginning to fill the capital again.
The upper class is complicated. As long as it is still in order and does not collapse the order, it will never affect the lower class people under great governance.
Under the years of great governance, compared with the chaos and depression in the late Ming Dynasty, this capital city has changed a lot.
The most obvious point is that after the land reform, fiscal and tax reform, most people finally stopped working for a year, but worked for the landlords.
After working hard for a year, you can have some surplus grain. With surplus grain, it means that you have accumulated a little wealth and the people have a little wealth, which will naturally promote the circulation and prosperity of the overall economy, and will naturally appear.
At this time in previous years, the emperor often liked to visit the city in a very low-coat manner, to experience this rare noisy and hustle and bustle, so as to wash away his loneliness that ranks high in the world and add a bit of humanity.
But this year, the emperor obviously has no time. He wants to secretly control this storm. If he loses control, he will have to come to the scene in person and make the road right!
In the Qianqing Palace, the warm stove in winter was already on the tin. The stove was not ordinary coal on the market, but charcoal made of some kind of good wood.
As the burning was made, the faint aroma of wood lingered in the hall with the warmth in the furnace.
As usual, the emperor sat upright on the table and handled major national military and political affairs.
The suppression of gentry and civil servants was eventually fed back to the emperor, just like Zhu Yuanzhang, the former Ming Dynasty Emperor, abolished the prime minister, and many of the government affairs that officials should have handled were concentrated on the emperor.
This is obviously an abnormal thing, and the emperor would not think that his descendants would be able to handle national military and political affairs in a row like him.
Sooner or later, we will have to return to a barely normal order.
As time passed, the emperor issued more and more memorials. At some point, the emperor's smooth review movement suddenly stopped. A deep and cold feeling in his calm eyes also suddenly appeared.
The content of the report is very simple. The Ministry of Personnel submitted it to the Ministry of Personnel, and the students of the Taxation Council and the Civil Sciences Academy have passed the assessment and formulated a list of officials.
And many names on the list are familiar to the emperor.
It is not only that one can surpass one’s life, but that one’s bloodline is extraordinary.
That is.........the relatives and children of powerful people...
After being silent for a long time, the invasive coldness seemed to become stronger and stronger, but in the end, the emperor still stamped the emperor's seal on this memorial.
The emperor knew very well that Daheng had a bad country, so the order after the founding of the country was a deformed order.
Just as his foundation was the army of Wuxun, his class enemy was the gentry and landlord of the former Ming Dynasty.
In order to suppress the gentry and landlords of the former Ming Dynasty who were reluctant to cooperate, he had to use martial honors and use them in various ways, and even opened the door to the convenient door to the former Ming Dynasty to suppress the remaining poisons.
But is this normal?
This is obviously abnormal, even completely deformed! It is even a reversal of history!
Throughout history, dynasties have changed again and again, and the fundamental reason is that the resource allocation is uneven!
That is, the very few people who rule the vast majority of people have the vast majority of their survival resources, leaving the vast majority of people without a way out.
This is the fundamental reason for the cycle of reincarnation and dynasty changes in thousands of years.
Throughout the dynasties, countless emperors, generals, and capable people have also been committed to reversing this point.
For example, the aristocratic families that once mastered most of the survival resources have disappeared into the long river of history.
For example, the birth of the imperial examination system, the opening of channels for talent growth, the weakening of classes, and the redistribution of resources to a certain extent.
For example, since the founding of the Kingdom of Daheng, he used a butcher knife to wash the world, and redistributed tough and bloody resources to individuals.
But...this is also in the cycle rate of history.
After all, the change of dynasties and endless wars is a subtle redistribution of resources. His bloody massacre from top to bottom is also a redistribution of resources.
But this is just the beginning. How to preserve the results of resource redistribution is the most fundamental reason for avoiding or delaying the arrival of historical cycle rates.
But no matter what, the few people who hold power must not be solidified.
Once solidified, no matter how even the resource is allocated, it will completely decay in a very short time!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In order to suppress those in the previous Ming Dynasty, he opened the door to Wuxun for convenience.
Let the military forces that already have hereditary characteristics easily enter the officialdom from the army.
If this continues, it will not take many years to become a family of families that occupy the upper class of power and have tentacles all over the world.
The so-called governing the country and herdsmen will also become an internal matter of these aristocratic families.
Hundreds of martial arts are hundreds of families!
They will occupy every part of the country, firmly control everything in this country, and the channels for ascending will be completely blocked.
Talent will not be the foundation of talent acquisition, and why is bloodline the most fundamental element.
The lower level is always just the lower level before the empire collapses.
The so-called resource redistribution is bound to be a huge joke.
Everything he did in the end would be a huge joke!
"Imperial Examination..."
The emperor pursed his lips, and this word that had been struggling with him for more than ten years also came to his mind again.
What he had always thought about was how to change education and change the material selection system.
But... after going through so much, many policies on education and material selection have been tried.
Such as colleges, such as education reform, supervisory yamen...
Strictly speaking, these, more or less, have disadvantages, and are even worse than the imperial examination for a country.
For example, the material selection system he wanted to establish at the beginning, namely, education was popularized, and the imperial examination became a public examination similar to that of later generations.
The college serves as a supplement, namely promotion training, and most importantly, the development of new learning.
Such development seems to be a pretty good educational material selection system.
But the problem is that under financial pressure, education cannot be popularized. The rising education system is destined to be an elite education that excludes the vast majority of people.
It is difficult to define the quality of elite education, but elite education can easily involve the word "fatal" fairness.
But not to mention whether the imperial government can afford the finances, even if it is a burden, the production conditions of this era cannot accommodate so many educated people.
Obviously, in this era, only elite education can be chosen.
Of course, why the education system is based on the framework of the times, the most fundamental problem is that it is based on the material selection system.
Is it a universal national examination or a progressive imperial examination selection process? This is the most critical and fatal question.
The emperor has always believed that the most fundamental purpose of the material selection system is not to select a virtuous and capable talent, nor to bring all the useful talents into the ruling system to avoid talents being left out and causing unstable rule.
In the mind of the emperor, the most important purpose of the material selection system is to open up channels for upward movement and carry out subtle resource redistribution.
At the same time, we must avoid class solidification to the greatest extent!
This is the role of the material selection system in the mind of the emperor.
The universal national examination and talent selection can achieve the purpose of selecting talents, and also achieve the purpose of taking all talents into the ruling system and avoiding instability.
But it is difficult to achieve the purpose that the emperor wants.
Children of a poor family must be talented and genius to pass the layers of assessment of elite education and enjoy the national education subsidies.
Otherwise, poor children will not be able to afford the high education costs at all.
Even if he passed the elite education through layers of assessment, he had two choices in the end, one was to enter the college, study new studies, and take the technical route.
But before the new learning has fundamentally revolutionized, this path is too narrow.
The other is to take the universal national examination. After passing the examination, he eventually became a small official from the ninth rank.
No matter how genius or capable he has no background, how many levels can he climb from a ninth rank in his life?
The biggest possibility is to waste your life in one or two locations in a county.
And those with backgrounds can still rise to the top even if they have no talent or virtue.
Bad money drives out good money, which will eventually lead to class solidification, and all civil and military officials in the court are all fools!
However, the imperial examination system is different. The progressive material selection system can even change one's fate even if it is a poor child who is on the list of gold!
According to convention, even if the Jinshi is a three-level Jinshi, the second most senior one is still from the seventh grade!
If the top scholar is the second place, and looking at the previous Ming Dynasty, as long as these people do not make fatal mistakes, the most serious person is often a minister like a minister of the ministry!
Looking at history, the education system and the material selection system are complementary. Most of the education systems of all dynasties have been half a dozen, and the limitations of the times are inevitable.
However, since the emergence of the material selection system of the imperial examination system, the upward channels have been truly broken.
Throughout the dynasties, many poor children have soared because of the imperial examinations! Even though they reach the peak of their ministers and dominate the country, there are many people!
Ascend to the Emperor's Hall in the morning, and become a farmer in the evening!
This sentence alone tells the essence of the imperial examination material selection system!
For universal national examinations, unless they follow the example of the imperial examination and set up the third grade, it will be difficult to achieve the positive effect of the imperial examination material selection system on the circulation of upward channels and breaking down class solidification.
However, the universal national examination and the third grade are obviously too much of a joke.
After all, the fundamental purpose of universal national examination is to choose "officials" rather than "officials"!
And if it progresses layer by layer, it is no different from the imperial examination.
But it has to be admitted that those who are awarded the sixth and seventh rank officials at the beginning of the imperial examination are not in line with the times. After all, as the times evolve, officials are not just herders' function.
The prosperity of business and the development of new learning bring about higher requirements for the quality of officials.
Strong knowledge and profound understanding of the officialdom and grassroots are indispensable.
If you only know how to talk big, you will become the Donglin Party.
These problems are the fundamental reason why Daheng has not formally determined a material selection system in the five years since its establishment.
How to balance the present and the future, how to balance the selection of talents and the channels for upward equitable upward to the greatest extent, and curb class solidification...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The thoughts are surging in the emperor's mind. The emperor knows whether it is to open up channels for promotion or break the class solidification.
The most fundamental way is to let the upper level have as many real new faces as possible.
Only in this way can the class be difficult to solidify, and the rights will be difficult to hereditary, and the channels for upward can be barely smooth.
How to make new faces appear as many as possible in the upper rights, and how to make these new faces competent for the upper rights, and not make these new faces a convenience for the hereditary rights of the upper rights...
This is the real issue that he, as the emperor, needs to consider.
But it is obvious that any advantage has its own disadvantages. It is impossible for the emperor to achieve a perfect system for the talent selection system.
The most fundamental thing about all problems is people. If Daheng is a wise and insightful saint king from generation to generation, even if all systems are a mess, Daheng can still flourish!
Class solidification and poor channels for upward development are just a matter of several people and families. If the situation is wrong, find an excuse to swing a knife and kill a group of people, and the location will be vacant.
Besides, isn’t his position as the emperor the greatest class solidification and hereditary power in the world?
Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but smile. The so-called cycle rate and dynasty change, everything is still a matter of humanity.
No matter how good the system is, it depends on people to implement it.
And this is just a problem with the Daheng civil servant system. The problem with the military general system is much more serious than the civil servant system!
"Trouble..."
The emperor shook his head and threw the memorial full of exchange of interests aside.
You cannot have both fish and bear's paw. In Daheng, anyone or any faction has its meaning of existence. If it exists, it will be beneficial.
Nowadays, what the emperor wants is profit, so he selectively ignores the disadvantages.
When will the meaning of existence be gone.
Then it's time to liquidate the "bad".
Those who are tactful, low-key and sensible, may still tolerate their existence. Those who are tactful, then go to hell...
