890 Township Children's School
Therefore, the next meeting process entered the next stage, which was the case where Emperor Chongzhen intervened and was besieged after being retaliated and besieged, and it would be useless to show the Jinyiwei waist card.
Emperor Chongzhen did not think about following the normal process for this matter. Instead, he quickly cut off the mess and directly announced the evidence and then issued an order to rebel the main culprit, namely Chen Donghai and several other officials, as well as the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture, Tongzhi and other officials behind them, killed the nine clans and accomplices, that is, the more than 3,000 mobs were all exiled for 3,000 miles, and all sent to the grassland and threw them to Hong Chengchou to enrich the number of Han people.
Among them, it is worth mentioning that the Suzhou prefect actually did not have physical evidence of letters, but it can be confirmed from the confession that he was one of the backstage. Besides, if such a thing happened in Suzhou, the prefect could not escape the relationship. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen was not ruthless and did not give in to the law.
As the emperor's order continued, the Jinyiwei School Captain and the Dongchang Fans did not care what others thought. They listened to the emperor's own and immediately executed it. They took the prisoner and killed the person not far from the side of the Taiwan side, in full view of everyone.
I have to say that this scene is still very shocking. Nearly three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it is rare to plot against the nine clans. At this moment, the majesty of imperial power has been deeply engraved with heads one by one to the bones of these civil servants, generals and ordinary people. Especially those who are older and who have participated in the Suzhou civil rebellion before, I feel deeply afraid.
If this matter was changed to the past, many officials on the stage would probably have to be out of the list to object. They would not be able to control the people. A magistrate like the prefect would kill him and kill him at any time. If the rabbit died and the fox was so sad, they would definitely try to stop him. Because they were sure that if the prefect knew that there was an emperor in the house, he would not dare to do this with ten thousand courage.
But if the Jinyiwei cavalry had not arrived quickly, the emperor would have almost died in this private house. It is said that it was very thrilling at that time, and the mobs broke through the door and rushed in. If such a thing happened, the emperor would still reason with you? He would also have the patience to discuss with you whether the prefect has the intention of rebellion? Believe it or not, the emperor would directly assign you to the same party as the party?
Judging the situation and protecting oneself are also a part of the officialdom. Therefore, the officials present are as obedient as clay Buddhas, and no one dares to have any objections.
Taking advantage of this power, Emperor Chongzhen announced several more measures after his execution.
First, in the past, the government did not go to the countryside and had too many disadvantages. Not only were there local tyrants and evil gentry bullying the countryside, and even had no government officials. They dared to turn black and white and call deer a horse. This matter could never happen again. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to establish township chiefs in cities with more than one thousand households, and appointed by the government, with eighth rank, and other officials. It is equivalent to setting up another chief official under the county magistrate. If the households are less than one thousand households, they will remain unchanged and are still the chief principal. Whether it is the township chief or the chief principal, they follow the rules of the township contract.
To put it bluntly, this system is considered to be a borrowed administrative system for later generations. Townships with more than one thousand households are similar to townships in later generations; while townships with less than one thousand households are similar to villages in later generations. Of course, there are still many differences. But at least in this way, the government will go to the countryside!
This decree means that the Ming Dynasty will have an extra layer of official positions. If it is a township chief like Nanxun Town, it is better than some lower-class counties, which has boosted many officials. I don’t know how many scholars and scholars are not in charge, and even Jinshi. But if there is an extra layer of official positions, there will be more opportunities! Therefore, most people are naturally popular with this decree.
Of course, there are also unhappy ones. For example, local tyrants will be deprived of their interests and they will be able to be the emperor in the future. Although they can still make trouble and control the township chief appointed by the court, they are not as good as before.
If this will was issued in the past, it might have attracted a lot of opposition. After all, it is a change that has not been seen in thousands of years, and there are also conservative people. But now the emperor uses his personal experience to tell the world that this system is very necessary. Whoever opposes it will ignore the sufferings of the people in the countryside.
Secondly, it is another very innovative purpose. At the township level, that is, a town with more than 1,000 households, a child’s school must be set up. All people who want to become children’s students must attend the children’s school for one year and obtain a graduation certificate before they can take the child’s examination. As for the admission fee, they will be borne by themselves!
If we follow the original intention of Emperor Chongzhen, it is best to be compulsory education, which will concentrate all children in school to study, not only can they read and read, but also conduct ideological education from an early age. However, reality is greater than ideals. The current court cannot afford this money. There is no way, so we have to use this alternative method for the time being.
The reason why I used this alternative is because I wanted to become a child, I was naturally the youngest student. Of course, it is not ruled out that those weird guys who are old and cannot pass the exam for a child. In this way, at least under the current circumstances, the youngest student can gather together.
Then, in the subjects of the children's school, Emperor Chongzhen also had other plans, which was to teach him for a year from the start of enlightenment, and would not teach according to the students' different aptitude. In other words, the best choice for children of rich families is to put their children's enlightenment in the children's school, so that they will not waste a year of time. So in this year, it was the year when the scholar was brainwashed when he was young. Let them sing the national anthem, put the national flag, agree with the concept of the country, and be loyal to the emperor and patriotism.
When the court has a wealth of money, on this basis, it can be free admission, and even subsidized for children's family, allowing all children to receive this year's study, literacy and brainwashing. If you have more money, then you will go a step further, and you will be able to gradually carry out compulsory education.
This plan can be said to be the most cost-saving plan. As long as the government distributes a piece of land and recruits some civilians to repair the school building, this is basically equivalent to no cost to the government. As for teachers, they can directly throw the county scholars and become teachers for a period of time, which is considered to be the best use of the goods.
Of course, this plan is only possible based on the reform of the village contract system. After all, if the government had only reached the county level before, it would be a bit out of reach for such a thing.
The last decree is also linked to the previous decree, and is used to solve the problems discovered in Jiangnan this time.
