Chapter 624: Reasons For The Rebellion Of Miners And Common People, Supervision By Separation Of Pow
After Prince Zhu Biao was dismissed, King Qin Zhu Xi immediately took over the words and said:
"Mining coal mines can easily lead to the gathering of miners. What if the miners are dissatisfied due to mining, and then are instigated by someone with ulterior motives, leading to rebellion?!!"
Whether it was in the Ming Dynasty or other dynasties in the past, the court was actually very taboo about gatherings of people.
Especially with the experience of Qian Yuan, Ming Dynasty or Zhu Yuanzhang was quite resistant to gathering people to mine!
Because in the former Yuan Dynasty, a large number of people were recruited to build the Yellow River, which caused the people's resentment to boil. Then they were instigated by Han Shantong, Liu Futong and other thoughtful people, and finally hundreds of thousands of people directly rebelled.
And summoning people to mine is also something that can easily cause resentment among the people.
Tens of thousands of people gather together, and any dissatisfaction will be quickly amplified. If Han Shantong, Liu Futong and others secretly instigate it, then it is not impossible to repeat the Yellow River incident at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
Therefore, based on this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards mining is "not necessary, no mining".
After hearing the words of Qin King Zhu Xiang, Yan Changqing's eyes moved to Qin Wang Zhu Xiang, and asked in the same tone calmly:
"Still saying that, has His Highness the King of Qin ever thought about why the miners rebelled?!!"
“Is it because of forced conscription and corvee labor?!”
“Is it because the daily mining and mining hours are too long and the work intensity is too high?!!”
"Or maybe the mine supervisor doesn't regard the miners as human beings and often insults and beats them?!"
"Or maybe there are other reasons..."
"If it is due to forced labor and corvee, then change the forced labor and corvee into voluntary employment!!!"
"Give the people wages that are enough to make them excited and let them choose whether to work in the mines!!"
"If the people are not willing to work anymore, then the people can pay their wages at any time and leave freely!!!"
"If it is because the daily mining and mining time is too long and the work intensity is too high, then it is stipulated that mining and mining are only allowed for a maximum of four hours a day, two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. People arrive in the morning and return home in the evening. !!!"
"If the mine supervisor does not regard the miners as human beings and often insults and beats them, then the mine supervisor must be restrained by legal restrictions!!!"
“Once miners find out that a mine supervisor is bullying or scolding them without any reason, they can report the mine supervisor to the local county government at any time!!!”
"After the local county government reported it to the court for verification, in front of all the miners and common people, they will all be held accountable!!!"
"In this case, Your Highness, do you think the miners will still gather in crowds to rebel?"
In Yan Changqing's view, why miners complained and even rebelled is actually the same as why employees in previous lives resigned.
The reasons are nothing more than those three: either you are forced to pay without freedom, or you are given less money, or you feel wronged.
The original miners were all forced to do so, and for them, mining was forced labor. They had no freedom, no pay, and were often insulted and punished. (bhch) How can there be no complaints under such circumstances?!!
When the accumulated grievances reach a certain level, how can they not rebel?!!
Just like those employees of Yan Changqing in his previous life, car loans and housing loans were like mountains, weighing on them, preventing them from leaving their jobs and thus losing their freedom of work.
Then the working hours are 996 again, and the only day off is the weekend. The company leaders have to organize employees to go hiking in the hot summer of more than 40 degrees, or in the cold winter of minus 10 or 20 degrees!!!
And in this process, company leaders also wantonly insult and punish employees, euphemistically called cultivating and training employees' psychological endurance, and creating the so-called wolf culture corporate spirit.
Damn it, under such circumstances, the complaints and resentment in the employees' hearts are simply more terrifying than the evil ghost that has been sealed for eight hundred years!!!
Even an eight-hundred-year-old ghost would have to turn around and leave when seeing such an employee!!!
This is also due to the popularization of Yan Changqing's laws in his previous life, so that all people know that Dao Method's laws are strict and cannot be violated.
Otherwise, those so-called leaders would have been hung up on the street lights by their employees!!!
After hearing Yan Changqing's answer, King Qin Zhu Di put himself into the perspective of the miners and thought for a while, shook his head and replied:
"If this is the case, the miners will naturally not rebel!!!"
Leaving aside other aspects, the fact that the forced conscription and corvee work of people to mine and mine is replaced by paying people to hire people, and the miners can freely choose to come and go, is enough to ensure that the miners will not rebel.
Because the prerequisite for the miners' rebellion is that the miners have complaints in their hearts, but they are unable to vent them, let alone leave.
So in the end, you need to rebel to vent your dissatisfaction, and to get yourself out of the "prison" of the mine.
But if the miners can come and go freely, then when the miners start mining and become unhappy with mining, they will just choose not to come.
The dissatisfaction in the hearts of the miners will not accumulate to the extent that they can be vented through rebellion, nor can they leave the prison of the "mine" through rebellion.
As for the subsequent conditions of "mining and mining for four hours every day" and "if you find that the mine supervisor is bullying or scolding without any reason, you can report it to the local county government at any time."
Relatively speaking, it is a supplement that is the icing on the cake. It does not matter whether it is present or not.
Being able to come and go freely is the most important thing!!!
This is the prerequisite to ensure that the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the miners will not accumulate to the point of rebellion!!!
After answering Qin King Zhu Di's question, Yan Changqing's eyes continued to fall on Jin King Zhu Fan, indicating with his eyes that it was his turn.
Seeing this, King Zhu Fan of Jin also stood up and bowed his hands slightly to Yan Changqing, then said:
"The benefits of mining are less beneficial to officials, more harmful to the people, and more beneficial to private individuals. What should we do?!!"
The benefits of mining are huge, but it does not mean that these benefits can be fully collected by the court.
Either a large part of it was embezzled by local officials who were mining, and then a small part was turned over.
Either a large part was embezzled by the supervisor responsible for supervising the mine, and a small part was then handed over.
What's more, they directly embezzled all the mining proceeds, and then used the emperor's order to force the people of the state capital to make up for it, which in turn greatly increased the burden on the people.
Situations like this have happened from time to time in the past.
"In matters regarding the government-operated mines, the three parties will supervise each other and rotate them every year!!!"
"The central censor supervises local officials, the Jinyiwei supervises the central censor, and the local officials supervise the Jinyiwei!!!"
"During this period, the central censors will be rotated once a year, the imperial guards will be rotated every two years, and the local officials will be rotated according to their terms of office!!!"
"During the mutual supervision between the three parties, if the other party is found to have committed corruption, accepted bribes, or concealed profits without reporting them!!!"
"Once verified, the whistleblower will be promoted and receive a bonus, and the whistleblower will regard him as corrupt, accepting bribes, and concealing the size of his income. At the least, his home will be confiscated and beheaded, and at worst, his family will be confiscated and his family exterminated!!!"
Yan Changqing replied almost without thinking.
For him, this issue is ultimately just a matter of local supervision.
When it comes to supervision, the simplest and most effective one is supervision by separation of powers.
In the case of separation of powers and supervision, unless someone can bribe people from three different political systems: local officials, central censors, and royal guards at the same time.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to commit corruption, accept bribes, and conceal profits without reporting them.
Even if someone could really buy off local officials, central censors and royal guards from three different political systems at once.
But as long as a rotation is carried out within a short period of time, it is enough to make such a bribe go to waste.
Even if you want to bribe again later, as long as one of the new central censors, royal guards, and local officials is unwilling to be bribed, then report it to the court.
Then the court can learn about the local situation and then respond to local problems.
It is not a big problem either to dispatch soldiers from nearby guards to suppress and solve the problem, or to directly send a large army to suppress and solve the problem.
After hearing Yan Changqing's answer, Jin King Zhu Fan thought for a moment, then nodded and sat down without saying anything else.
