This is really a slap in the face. Without those bureaucrats who thought they were indispensable, the situation of "many upright people in the court" has ended. The state affairs are thriving. The repeated defeats in the Liaodong battlefield have been completely reversed, and there is a glimmer of hope for the elimination of slavery.
Do you really think you can't do it without you? Do you really take yourself seriously? Bullshit!
Look, government affairs are still running smoothly, even more smoothly than before; those who want to be officials are still studying hard, and those who are selected by the Ministry of Personnel are still lining up.
For ordinary people, these changes were still irrelevant and they could not care less about them. But for the privileged classes such as bureaucrats, gentry, and students, they were frustrating changes that they had to accept.
As the "Imperial Party" continues to expand, fewer and fewer people speak up for the frustrated, and even sympathizers are rare.
Those who dared to attack were either confiscated and exiled, or beheaded and purged. The opposition forces became weaker and weaker, and fewer and fewer people dared to resist, let alone cause any trouble.
The emperor could also sense this, and the number of people being confiscated and exiled became less and less, which cut off his way of making money.
There is always a downside to every advantage. Zhu Youxiao said helplessly: I am much more capable than Old Wei. It took only about two years to deal with the civil service group, and there was no large-scale unjust imprisonment.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao also had to admit that after defeating a group of civil servants, he also fostered a bureaucratic force. Who made so many people want to be officials, all of them rolled around happily and gathered around me.
However, the emerging bureaucratic forces obeyed the emperor and did whatever the emperor said.
Although there were people like Liu Lishun who were loyal to the court and people like Ni Wenhuan who were opportunistic, the results were not much different.
From Zhu Youxiao's perspective, as long as he could implement his policies, he had already achieved his goal. Why bother with those bureaucrats?
Whether it was to bring honor to his family, leave a name in history, or perhaps even achieve a promotion, Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to guess. Just be a good department manager, and Chairman Zhu will naturally make your dreams come true.
It can be said that only by continuously strengthening the execution ability can Zhu Youxiao's policies be implemented and the Ming Dynasty can be truly revitalized.
In addition to the officials' execution ability, Zhu Youxiao was also satisfied with the performance of several major chambers of commerce.
While making money, the Maritime Merchants Association also provided great assistance to the imperial court through sea transportation. A large part of the transportation of grain, ammunition and supplies to Liaodong was completed by the Maritime Merchants Association.
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce actively carried out the emperor's orders. Relying on the Ming Dynasty's post roads and post stations in the north and south, they vigorously built logistics and warehousing facilities and tried to develop private postal services.
In ancient times, ordinary people could only ask acquaintances to deliver letters and messages. No one could be sure of the delivery time, and it was also difficult to be sure whether it would be delivered.
Zhu Youxiao issued administrative orders requiring major cities to name streets and determine address signs, laying the foundation and creating conditions for the development of private postal services.
Although this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, which country in the world is currently vigorously developing warehousing, logistics, transportation and postal systems?
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce was the first to take action, and Wu Dazhang is also working hard. Construction in the north should proceed quickly, and the renovation of the post stations will benefit many people.
This also includes the kid named Li who destroyed the Ming Dynasty in history. The emperor couldn't help but smile intriguingly when he thought of this.
………………………….Dividing line……………………………………
"Fake, fake news, fabricated..." Nurhaci's angry roar spread far away, and perhaps people on the street outside could hear it.
A brand new copy of "Da Ming Forum" had been crumpled and torn, thrown on the ground, and kicked away by the furious old slave.
Unfortunately, I am uneducated and cannot decisively refute “fake newspapers and fake news”.
Li Yongfang had been dismissed, but the Jiannu intelligence system was still functioning. Even if they didn't secretly bring back newspapers from Zhangjiakou, they would send people from Liaonan and Dongjiang to distribute them.
Huang Taiji, who was no longer the leader of the banner and stayed in Shenyang as a councilor, had read the newspaper and knew the reason why his father Khan was furious.
He got the news so quickly, and he suspected that this was intentional by the Ming court. Well, it's not suspicion, it's almost certain.
The newspaper vividly described how Amin and other captives were taken to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, where they were treated to rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, and how they cried for mercy on the execution ground, looking weak and cowardly.
In fact, this can't even be considered news, but rather a novel. The vocabulary and the plot are captivating. The ugly scene of Amin and his companions, covered in feces and urine, unfolds before the reader like a movie.
There were even Jiannu captives who cursed Nurhaci and resented the old slave for harming them and leading to such a miserable end.
"Even drinking his blood and eating his flesh cannot relieve the hatred in my heart. Wait for me in the underworld and let him experience all the tortures of hell..."
Could Amin have said this? No one would believe it. Nurhaci was right to curse "fake, fake".
Even if you know it's fake, you're still furious and about to burst a blood vessel, which is perfectly normal. Just like hearing slander and rumors can make you see stars and feel your heart flutter.
Nurhaci roared and yelled for a while before sitting down in the chair, panting like a mad bull.
"Father Khan," Huang Taiji said, bowing. "This is a rumor fabricated by the Ming court to provoke us. Although Amin and his men were unfortunately captured, how could our Jurchen warriors be so insolent?"
Nurhaci snorted, his anger seemingly subsiding, perhaps because he was tired of shouting. He gently stroked his forehead and said slowly after a while, "You are trying to provoke me. I will not be fooled. It is the height of summer, not a good time for our army to launch an attack."
