Chapter 457: The Shadow of the Prosperous Capital(1/2)
On the surface, the capital has been peaceful recently, but in fact, through the sorting out by the Ministry of Punishment, the backlog of cases since the founding of the Ming Dynasty has reached a new peak.
Everything has two sides. When the Qunying Chamber of Commerce brought prosperity to the capital, a large number of people also gathered towards the capital.
Especially with the prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce, now that restrictions are gradually being relaxed, the migrant population alone has increased by at least half a million in the capital this year.
Because of the construction of various factories, such as cement factories, paper mills, and printing factories, as well as the rise of previous industries such as brewing, clothing, textiles, frosting, and porcelain.
More and more common people are beginning to transform into workers.
During the passage of checkpoints, the original restrictions have become much simpler, which has led to a large number of young and middle-aged people choosing to work in factories in order to seek a stable wage.
Because Zhu Ying has established a protection system for workers and has a minimum monthly salary standard, so compared to farming, it seems that becoming a worker can also support a family.
With the full implementation of the allotment policy, population fertility has been stimulated. Many middle-aged men generally have four or five children and are continuing to have children.
For example, when tenants farm for landlords, their rations are simply not enough. In contrast, they earn more by working.
A large number of tenants began to flock to the nearest factory. As the news spread, more people discovered that wages were more generous in the factories on the capital side.
If you have some conditions, you can simply travel hundreds of miles and rush directly to the capital.
Once there are more people, the ingredients naturally become mixed.
Three religions and nine streams began to form a circle in the capital.
In just over half a year, underground gangs in the capital have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Even Zhu Ying doesn't have a good solution in today's world.
The current population in the capital is close to three million.
The number of Jinyiwei and the Public Security Department is only less than 30,000.
It is impossible to rely on 30,000 people to monitor 3 million people.
The large number of royal guards are not responsible for supervising the people, but only for officials and nobles.
Not to mention the Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
The only way now is to continuously expand the team of the Public Security Department.
As the team of the Department of Public Security expanded, more good and bad people joined it, and even some gang members became patrol officers of the Department of Public Security.
Judicial offices everywhere are already facing a shortage of manpower.
Even though people are afraid to report crimes, the current situation is that all judicial offices are queuing up to report crimes.
During the morning court, Zhu Yuanzhang had been angry several times regarding the security issues in the capital.
Even Yang Jing, the Minister of Punishment, was almost dismissed for incompetence.
But there is still no way.
The capital's economy is prosperous, but its literacy rate is still not improving.
Workers from all over the country were also divided according to their hometown and locality, and they all gathered together.
"Dasun, it seems that you are right about the law. We need to establish a separate imperial examination and find more talents to suppress this kind of chaos."
Zhu Yuanzhang has been having a headache recently, because as far as the capital is concerned, the biggest case now involves court officials.
Just a few days ago, a high-ranking official from the capital was actually killed on his way to the morning court.
Although only three days later, the murderer was caught and beheaded in public.
But this also means that there are already many daring desperadoes in the capital.
Zhu Ying replied: "Grandpa, the current capital is in urgent need of experts in solving cases to serve as role models, so it was publicized in the Di newspaper to scare Xiaoxiao."
"Sun'er was recommended by Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Service, to recruit an expert in solving cases in Shanxi. I think it should be of some use."
"This person is said to be a descendant of Di Renjie during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He has the reputation of being a god in solving cases."
If you want to curb the misbehavior of some lawless people, you must first make them fear the law.
In the absence of surveillance, it is difficult to bring some criminals to justice.
There were not a few who escaped.
Once you taste the sweetness, committing a second crime becomes a foregone conclusion.
At this time, there was a great need for figures like Di Renjie from the Tang Dynasty and Bao Qingtian from the Song Dynasty to appear.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Since it was recommended by Zhan Hui, I think this person must have some talents."
"Zhan Hui is indeed doing well in selecting officials."
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang could not hide the compilation of the talent list of Ming officials by a minister like Zhan Hui.
The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has always favored Zhan Hui and has never been transferred to other departments is because Zhan Hui's actions in the official department were very recognized.
At present, there is no one who can replace Zhan Hui in this area.
When Di Yusen came to the capital, Zhu Ying immediately summoned him.
"Your Majesty, Di Yusen, pays homage to His Highness the Grand Sun."
In Kunning Palace, Di Yusen knelt down and bowed.
Zhu Ying said: "Get up and give me a seat."
Di Yusen bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhu Ying looked at Di Yusen and asked, "You know why I summoned you to the capital."
Di Yusen respectfully replied: "I have some talents in solving cases. If your highness wants to summon me to the capital, it must be the capital that needs my services."
Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Very good, I am indeed a descendant of Di Renjie, I am quite confident."
"There are many, I don't need to say more. Nowadays, due to the increasing prosperity of the capital, many illegal and law-breaking people have mixed in."
"Nowadays, there is already a backlog of many major cases in the Criminal Department alone. The Public Security Department Yamen, the Five City Soldiers and Horses Department Yamen, the Yingtianfu Yamen, etc. all also have many affairs, which are extremely difficult to handle quickly."
"That's why I now need a master in solving cases to shock people."
"I know your name from Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and you are the best among the talents of Zhan Shangshu and me to solve the case, so I hope you will not disappoint me."
"If you can achieve the abilities expected by me, the official rewards and rewards are only secondary. I will publicize your deeds in the capital's newspaper."
"Nowadays, the Capital's Palace Newspaper is spread all over the Ming Dynasty, and overseas countries also spend a lot of money to buy it. If you can stand on the Capital's Palace Newspaper, you will be famous both at home and abroad."
For literati, or for everyone, few people can escape the word fame and fortune.
Some of Di Yusen's files from Pingyang Prefecture and Pinglu County, Xiazhou County, Shanxi Province were sent to Zhu Ying for review long before he arrived in the capital.
Seeing some of the ways in which the case was handled, Zhu Ying also knew in her heart that Di Yusen was indeed a capable person.
However, due to the limitation of the job title, it is difficult to have the opportunity to rise.
Zhu Ying's current behavior can be regarded as demoting talents in an eclectic way.
As for talents, Zhu Ying didn't bother to say anything about supporting justice and went straight to something practical.
Di Yusen was extremely excited when he heard this. Everything he wanted was here, so there was nothing to hesitate about.
Immediately he stood up, knelt down and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty Di Yusen, I would like to thank His Highness Taisun for your kindness."
"We must do our best to ensure the safety of the capital, and do our best until we die."
Zhu Yingdao: "You don't have to be too happy. I will tell you the ugly things first. If you don't have much achievements after taking office, don't blame me for not being able to fulfill your promise."
"I don't want to hear big words, nor do I want to hear lies. If you really have the ability, then use your ability to speak to me."
"Here in this palace, I don't care about your background, nor do I care about things like the Four Books and Five Classics. As long as you can get things done, I will naturally not treat you badly."
These words made Di Yusen's boiling heart calm down a little.
However, Di Yusen has his own pride in his ability to solve cases.
Although he is only the representative historian of Pinglu County, the cases he has handled are not limited to Pinglu County.
Other counties and even Pingyang Fucheng have asked him to help solve cases.
Many complex cases were easily solved in his hands and the truth came to light.
If not, he would not have been on Zhan Hui's list.
Di Renjie bowed his hands and replied: "I understand that I will not disappoint His Majesty the Grand Sun."
Zhu Ying nodded and said, "Since you have been entrusted with an important task, I will not let you investigate those civilian cases. Most of the cases you are responsible for are difficult murder cases."
"Now that you have just arrived in the capital, you have not yet made any achievements. You have suddenly risen to a high position, and it is difficult to convince the public. So you should first serve as the county magistrate of the capital."
The responsibilities of the Jingxian County Magistrate are similar to those of other counties. He is in charge of arrests and solving cases.
And compared to other places, it seems to be just the seventh rank. In a place like the capital, it can be said to be pitifully small, but in fact, the official is small and has great power.
After a slight pause, Zhu Ying took out a talisman from his arms and asked Guo Zhong, the eunuch who was beside him, to give it to him.
"The handling of cases in the capital is unusual. In some places, there are quite a lot of constraints. But what I want is that you can not be afraid of power and stick to your heart."
"This talisman, I leave it to you for the time being. With this talisman, you can mobilize the Public Security Department of the capital and the Jin Yiwei to assist in handling the case. You can also check the household registration of the Ministry of Household. If you encounter any difficult or complicated matters, you can also
You can enter the palace directly and ask for help from me."
