I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 247 Profitable?The way of checks and balances!
"Report to grandson! It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry to build national roads."

"It should be in charge of the Ministry of Industry!"

Soon, some ministers appeared to offer advice and suggestions.

But he was immediately refuted by another minister.

"Your Highness, it is the responsibility of the household department to check the acres of land and the flow of money."

"The Ministry of Industry is incapable of doing this! It should be in charge of the Ministry of Households!"

Seeing that people from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry are about to quarrel.

Another person stood up.

"No, no, no."

"Your Highness, I believe that neither the Ministry of Household Affairs nor the Ministry of Industry has this responsibility. The matter of buying land from farmers must be sponsored by local officials."

"The money should be allocated to local officials to host."

……

For a while, there were all kinds of speeches in the court.

Many ministers were quarreling.

Everyone wants a piece of the pie, and everyone knows how amazing the benefits here are!

It's just that everyone has a tacit understanding.

He never mentions interests, but only thinks about Ming Dynasty.

I want to do something for my grandson.

How could Zhu Yunxi not see what these people were thinking?
But it doesn't make any sense to dismantle them right now.

Such is the human heart. If you don’t see the Yellow River, your heart won’t die. If you don’t see the coffin, you won’t shed tears!

They never know regret before they really arrest them!

I don't take it seriously.

Instead, they will feel resentful towards him, thinking that he blocked their way of making money.

What Zhu Yunzhen has to do is to try to satisfy everyone while minimizing the opportunities for corruption.

Corruption... is unavoidable in the face of such a huge project.

Even in previous lives, everyone has a common consensus.

Engineering is the most profitable!
The same applies to the Ming Dynasty!

"Everyone, I feel a little confused after hearing what you said."

Zhu Yunxuan had a "confused" look on his face.

Said: "One moment it is the Ministry of Industry, another moment it is the Ministry of Household Affairs, and another moment it is a local official."

"Is this matter so complicated?"

Zhu Yunxi asked the ministers pretending not to know.

The ministers glanced at each other.

Reaching a consensus in their hearts, they replied in unison: "Your Highness, this matter is really complicated."

"This charter... I'm afraid it will take a while, and I won't be able to get it out!"

"Why don't we discuss it another day?"

Now that everyone is arguing with each other, it is better to retreat from the court early, and then discuss it privately after the morning court.

reach an exchange of interests.

When tomorrow morning comes, everyone will be on the same page.

It is tantamount to sharing interests.

No one suffers!
But Zhu Yunzhen would let them achieve their wishes so easily?
In the face of this interest, it is impossible that no one will be indifferent. Zhu Yunxi understands, but he will not choose to let it go!

"I see."

Zhu Yunxi looked suddenly enlightened.

Then he said: "Since it is so complicated, I'm afraid you alone don't know when the result will be obtained."

"It just so happens that many feudal lords have already returned to Beijing, and there is nothing for them to do for a while."

"so be it."

"The matter of redeeming the land will be in charge of the king of Qi."

Zhu Yunxi made a final decision, and directly handed over the matter of redeeming the land to Qi Wang Zhu Wei.

"In addition, ask local officials to assist in this matter."

"The Ministry of Industry only needs to be responsible for route planning and the terrain is good."

"The Account Department is responsible for money expenditures, and every account must be carefully checked!"

Zhu Yunxuan actually had an idea in mind.

There is no way he would hand over such a hugely profitable matter to any department to take charge of it. This would be no different from forcing the officials inside to become corrupt.

After all, who wouldn’t be tempted by such a huge benefit?
If you want Ming officials to be free from corruption, in the final analysis, you still need to improve the system.

Minimize opportunities for corruption by officials.

Then use strict punishments and laws to prevent officials from being corrupt!

Only by taking a two-pronged approach can we truly put an end to corruption!

"What? Let the feudal lord take charge?!"

For a while, the courtiers were all shocked.

Zhu Yunzhen looked from above and saw that all the officials were like ants on a hot pot, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Inside Fengtian Hall, it was like a pot had exploded.

All kinds of voices came, and the officials whispered to each other from time to time.

"quiet!"

The palace man's sharp voice sounded.

The guard outside the door touched the ground with his spear.

Shock the officials.

Only then did Baiguan calm down and restore order.

And after order is restored.

A minister from the Advisory Office immediately stood up.

Objected: "Your Highness! This is absolutely impossible!"

"The feudal king must not take charge of this matter!"

At this moment, the minister had no choice but to reveal the 'secret' inside.

"The redemption of the land has huge benefits. In case the vassal has evil intentions, he can profit from it, and then use countless silver taels to win over officials and build an army."

"Wouldn't it be a catastrophe?!"

The Chancellor of the Council had little to do with this matter.

Not pierced before.

It's just because they, as officials, have the final say in handling government affairs, and they have a share of this benefit no matter what.

But compared to the possibility of rebellion by the feudal king.

This benefit seemed to be insignificant again.

After all, who knows if the Advisory Office will still be there after changing to a superior person?
You know, Lao Zhu deposed the Prime Minister!
Although the advisory office established by Zhu Yunzhen was only equivalent to a dismembered and mutilated prime minister, it still had such powers!
Given time, he might not be able to become a real prime minister!

And for this, you only need to wait for an emperor who is not so wise and doesn't like government affairs.

Therefore, the ministers of the Advisory Office chose to stand by Zhu Yunxi's side at the critical moment!
"Oh? Huge benefits?"

Zhu Yunxi seemed to wake up suddenly, and asked: "Let's talk about it?"

The minister of the Advisory Office explained all the "secrets" contained in it one by one.

Although Zhu Yunzhen already knew it.

But he pretended to be completely unaware and angry after being deceived.

Angrily scolded: "Okay! Gu said why you are not so active usually!"

"There are such benefits in it!"

"Huh! In this way, it is even more impossible for Gu to hand over this matter to you!"

"King Qi is Gu's seventh uncle, Gu can trust him more than he does!"

"This matter will be handed over to King Qi in charge, there is no need to discuss it again!"

"Retreat!"

Zhu Yunxi left Fengtian Hall angrily.

Only a group of ministers were left looking at each other in shock.

It was supposed to be a feast divided by the officials, but a vassal king appeared on his head inexplicably.

And judging from His Highness Taisun's appearance, he is very determined and cannot be changed.

"Sigh... that can only be like this. At the very least, our Ministry of Industry is still responsible for route planning due to the poor terrain."

"We are also needed to build roads."

The officials of the Ministry of Industry are actually quite satisfied.

After all, in the past, they were born by their stepmothers without being loved by their mothers or uncles.

It would be nice to have a piece of the action now!

Although the household officials were uncomfortable, they did not break their bottom line, so they could barely accept it.

Zhu Yunxuan deliberately divided this matter among various departments, with the vassal king as the supervisor.

Just for checks and balances!

Don't let a certain party monopolize the power and completely embezzle the interests!He even had the audacity to directly lie about the news to the imperial court!

Create a pile of bean curd projects!

This is the way of checks and balances!

And... if you don't leave this matter to the vassals... how can you test these vassals?
This is also the situation Zhu Yunzhen laid for King Qi...

Next, we have to see if King Qi can get inside!

But in the face of such huge interests.

If King Qi really has other thoughts, it is absolutely impossible not to be tempted!
