The first governor in the world

? In the first year of Yongzheng, a major case happened in the Qing Dynasty: the case of the first governor in the world.

? Things should start with Kangxi. In Kangxi's later years, officials were corrupt and the people were miserable. The so-called prosperous period of Kangxi is just an empty shelf. The treasury of the Qing dynasty consists of the central level household department and the local level vassal treasury. In the Qing Dynasty, officials, large and small, borrowed money from the state treasury and used various means to practice favoritism and malpractice to enrich themselves, resulting in deficits between the Ministry of Finance and the vassal state treasury for years.

? So the Qing government was poor, but the Qing officials were rich. Kangxi was quite worried about this. He sent four elder brothers Yin Zhen, later Yongzheng, to recover the deficit of the fact, but the resistance was great, and finally it went away.

? After the death of Kangxi, Yongzheng succeeded to the throne. In the first year of Yongzheng's accession to the throne, he issued a decree: the deficit of governors' treasury in all parts of the country must be recovered and paid off within two years, and all officials who can't recover will be dismissed and their property will be seized to pay off their debts!

? Yongzheng first targeted Shanxi. Shanxi is the province with the largest deficit in China, with a deficit of more than 3 million yuan. If Shanxi's vassal state treasury can be paid off, other provinces will be a cinch. So Shanxi is very important. Who will be sent to Shanxi to take the lead?

? Longkeduo, the Nine Magistrates and Minister of the Upper Study, recommended Nuo Min to Yongzheng, an honest official who was left out for many years because of his contradiction with the Eight Masters of the Household Department. Yongzheng promised to send Nuomin to be the governor of Shaanxi. Zhang, the minister of learning, stopped talking.

? The governor is the biggest official in a province. As soon as Nuo Min arrived in Shaanxi, he ordered state government officials to recover and pay off the deficit of Shaanxi state treasury within one year. Shanxi provincial government officials panicked and quickly sent a generation to visit Longkeduo with gifts.

? Longkodo seriously criticized the unhealthy trend of gift giving and asked the Shaanxi representative to bring back a letter to Nuo Min.

? Time flies. One night, Yongzheng received a memorial from Nuo Min: Shanxi Fanku's deficit of more than 3 million yuan has been paid off! Yongzheng was very happy and praised Longkeduo for recommending people properly. Yongzheng sent people to make plaques overnight. Thirteenth master is awkward.

? The next morning, Yongzheng held a grand commendation meeting in the Golden Hall. Yongzheng excitedly praised Nuo Min's achievements: he paid off the huge deficit in Shanxi within six months! Yongzheng announced in court that he was awarded the Nuo Min National Prize and gave him a plaque engraved with six bronzing characters written by Yongzheng himself:

The first governor in the world.

? For Yongzheng's award, ministers talked about it in succession: what tricks did Shanxi use to pay off the deficit for more than ten years in just half a year? Tian Wenjing, who happened to pass by Shanxi, was playing in Yongzheng, and there were also many check-in fees in Shanxi. Tian Wenjing's last performance poured cold water on Yongzheng. In case Nuo Min is fake, that plaque is a big joke! Which is more important, face or truth? Yongzheng focused and immediately ordered Tian Wenjing as an imperial envoy to conduct a thorough investigation in the name of acceptance.

? I heard that Tian Wenjing suddenly appeared in Shaanxi as an imperial minister, but Nuo Min dismissed it and continued to water the vegetable garden, not wanting to meet him. Tian Wenjing first questioned the magistrate who set up checkpoints in the governor's yamen, and the magistrate answered very tightly. The deficit of his county library was repaid by borrowing money from neighboring counties, and the borrowed money would eventually be returned ... Tian Wenjing was suspicious and announced to Nuo Min that he would inspect the San Francisco library. Nuo Min thought coldly.

? On the one hand, Nuo Min strictly forbids the following officials to set up sign-in fees; on the other hand, it strictly forbids Shanxi officials at all levels to handle Tian Wenjing in a unified way.

? Tian Wenjing led people to check the Shanxi Fanku, and more than three million and two thousand pieces of silver were the same. Is Nuo Min really okay?

? Just as Tian Wenjing was at a loss, another confidant of Yongzheng, Li Wei, came with Wu Sidao, his staff. Wu Sidao reminded Tian Wenjing that the Taizhou ingot or Beijing ingot of Fanku is the real official bank. Tian Wenjing suddenly remembered that Fanku had only 300,000 Taizhou ingots, and the other 2.7 million were miscellaneous silver. Tian Wenjing thought, where did these miscellaneous silver come from? Even if the people are exploited, it is impossible to search so much in half a year, right?

? Wu Sidao once again reminded Tian Wenjing that there are many banks in Shanxi, and the number of banks has reached the whole country. It is easy for the government to borrow money from them. Tian Wenjing suddenly realized! But how can we get the evidence?

? Wu si pointed out that the silver in the treasury is evidence! We need to blockade Francisco immediately ... Tian Wenjing got the message.

? Tian Wenjing blocked the San Francisco library, and Nuo Min was angry and annoyed. He immediately played Yongzheng, impeaching Tian Wenjing for being jealous and finding faults, in an attempt to destroy the good situation of the new dynasty ... Yongzheng realized that Tian Wenjing might be boycotted by Shanxi officials and was in a difficult situation. Yongzheng immediately sent the second imperial envoy: Turichen, the captain of the ouchi bodyguard.

? Knowing that Tulichen was going to Shanxi, Long Keduo called Tulichen in the evening to remind him that this trip to Shanxi is related to the wisdom of the emperor and the face of the court, and the burden is very heavy. Turichin asked what to do. Longkodo pointed out that the emperor finally set an example for Shanxi. If this time it is screwed up, I don't know how to end it. ...

? The next day, I reported Roncodo's summons to Yongzheng and asked Yongzheng for instructions. Yongzheng's instructions are clear: find out the facts and report in time!

? Turichin was ordered to leave. The second imperial envoy followed closely, but Nuo Min dared not neglect him and quickly led the Shanxi dignitaries to meet him. Tian Wenjing secretly told Tu Lichen about his detection plan: blocking the governors' treasury, placing Nuo Min and his officials under house arrest, and posting notices to inform all bankers who lent money to the imperial court to come to the yamen to collect the money within two days, otherwise it will be confiscated!

? Tu Lichen thought, in case Tian Wenjing talks nonsense, it is not good to detain a court official like Nuo Min ... Tian Wenjing in the picture hesitated, and quickly praised Tu Lichen, pointing out that Nuo Min would be exposed sooner or later. If there is no problem this time, the emperor will be held accountable in the future, and both imperial envoys will bear the crime of oversight!

? On second thoughts, Turichen decided to trust Tian Wenjing. In the name of * * * Mid-Autumn Festival, Tu Lichen asked Nuo Min and Shaanxi officials to stay with him in a compound, and not to leave. Nuo Min asked to leave many times, but was stopped by Turi Chen with a nice voice. Nuo Min knew he couldn't get away, suggesting that his subordinates leave. Tu Lichen's attitude is very firm, and neither Chen Bing's compound nor Shanxi officials can leave the compound.

? Nuo Min flustered, drink 1. Suddenly, a dozen soldiers broke into the house and pointed their swords and guns at Tulichen. Slaughterhouse noodles don't change color. He smiled and asked loudly whether Nuo Min and others were officials of the Qing Dynasty. The butcher loudly warned Nuo Min: His butcher and his entourage are both imperial guards and people around the emperor! If an honest official dares to kill an imperial adult and his entourage, it is the crime of genocide! Turichen and his entourage suddenly opened their coats and exposed their scars. Nuo Min was stunned in an instant and dared not move. ...

? Things will come out soon.

? Soon, Yongzheng received a joint letter from Tian Wenjing and Tu Lichen: Nuo Min colluded with more than 200 officials in Shanxi, borrowed money from Zhuang to make up for the deficit of the vassal's treasury, and deceived the imperial court to get a reward. Yongzheng did not hide the facts, called ministers to study the situation of Zhang, Ma and Long Keduo, and announced the results of the investigation. Zhang and others knelt down and asked Yongzheng to be treated as a crime of oversight. Roncodo pointed out that Nuo Min's fault lies in his eagerness to take credit, rather than dereliction of duty and graft. March retorted that this is a crime of deceiving the monarch, which is worse than graft and dereliction of duty! Longkodo thought that if Nuo Min was punished according to Ma's instructions, it would be detrimental to Regal ... Yongzheng stopped the argument.

? Nuo Min's findings spread like wildfire, and at that time there was an uproar in one's hand and in one's hand. Officials have played Yongzheng, to severely punish Nuo Min. Yongzheng was furious: no one warned in advance, but everyone was wise afterwards! Yongzheng summoned Ye and Zhang and accused them of not reminding him. 13 leaves admit that there are good things above and bad things below. Now that the fourth brother is the emperor, he dare not say it if he wants to ... Zhang's statement is not necessarily afraid to say it, but he is afraid that it will cool the emperor's determination to make great efforts ... Yongzheng got angry and left. How does this situation end?

? While gloating at Yongzheng's jokes, Ye Ba-party members invited them to recommend them one after another, on the grounds that the face of the imperial court was an honest official and could not die. Eight lords are powerful, and ministers who recommend Nuo Min account for the majority. Eight lords thought that Yongzheng had strong self-esteem and would not severely punish Nuo Min. Only a few ministers advocated severely punishing Nuo Min. On the surface, the Eight-Ye Party meant well to save Yongzheng's face, but it was a despicable means: to save Yongzheng's jokes and live targets.

? But Yongzheng is not a thin-skinned leader. On this day, Yongzheng summoned the minister of civil and military affairs, admitted that he was credulous, eager for quick success and instant benefit, and even deceived himself, so that Nuo Min and others had the opportunity to take responsibility and apologize to everyone! Yongzheng pointed out in court, don't think that giving Nuo Min a plaque will take care of your own face and the face of the court. Compared with Jiangshan country, your face and the court's face are nothing! Nuo Min must be severely punished! The deficit of the local treasury must be paid off!

? This is Yongzheng, an emperor who dares to deny himself.

? Finally, Nuo Min, the "first commander in chief in the world", was beheaded. Yongzheng, a pragmatic leader who only cares about facts, ignores face and dares to admit his mistakes, continues to forge ahead and opens a new era.
