Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 358
The clerk is writing down everything Nan Surou said.

"If the disaster relief strategy cannot solve the problem of corruption in ink, it will be a strategy that will harm the country and the people." Nan Surou paused every word: "Your Majesty must re-appoint the imperial censor to severely punish officials who are corrupt in ink."

The emperor said coldly: "Everything is based on evidence, without evidence and without evidence, it is to frame Zhongliang!"

The emperor naturally knew what Nan Surou said was the truth, but Nan Surou said so bluntly that the officials he appointed were greedy for ink, the emperor was still uncomfortable after all, and showed an angry look on his face.

But Nan Surou's face was just calm, kneeling on the ground, without any look of fear.

In her previous life, Nan Surou took every step of the way carefully, and in the end she was plotted to death. It's not like she has never seen death like this before.

After rebirth, Nan Surou realized that life is a gamble, a gamble without any rules.

The so-called gambling game does not refer to gambling in the casino. According to the instinct of creatures, as long as the goal of "survival" can be achieved, it is a victory.

Since surviving in such a world is itself a victory, then, in a long life, the game will continue to be played. …it’s all a gamble.

Nan Surou is taking a gamble at the moment, a gamble, as long as she wins this bet, she will get huge benefits from the emperor.

It's no big deal if you lose, but Nan Surou knows the personality of the emperor in front of her very well, and she has an [-]% chance of winning.

Therefore, Nan Surou lowered her head, straightened her back, with a firm expression.

The queen's skirt has long been soaked in cold sweat...

In the end, the emperor said in a cold tone: "The problem of greedy ink has been predicted by all the capable ministers under my command, but the preventive measures have not worked. You can just say it. If you can't tell me what countermeasures to use, I will I will deprive you of your current status and give you the death penalty for deceiving the king!"

Nan Surou bowed her head and said: "Your Majesty, in my court of law, local officials are responsible for all cases and have full authority to dispose of any orders issued by the court. It can be said that the full responsibility is heavy, but there is a lack of supervision, so that the current situation has occurred. A "Minqingzu" should be established. If people in various places are dissatisfied with officials, they can hold a post to "appeal" and go to the "Minqingzu" to sue officials. Report to the imperial court to investigate and deal with the officials who were reported. If the report is found to be untrue after verification, the 'Minqing' is obliged to find out whether there is a misunderstanding or intentional slander. If there is a misunderstanding, it is necessary to explain it clearly to the people who reported it. If it is slander, it is framing the imperial court to appoint officials, and it should be handled according to the law. It is also fair to be falsely accused of officials. You must examine yourself three times a day, and put an end to the filth of government officials."

Hearing these words, the concubines were all in a daze, and the emperor was a little dumbfounded.

Is there such an official in this world?
Ten years of hard study, for the title of the gold list.

The dream of being named on the gold list is because the scientific examination can be ranked among the glorious lintels of ministers.

The goal of Guangyao Mentel is to be a superior person, to be the leader of the people, not to be a slave to the people!
Nan Surou's "people's feelings" clearly wants all officials to take the pitifully small salary and then become loyal servants of the people. What's the point of being an official?It's better to go home and farm, and one day to see which official is unhappy, go to the "People's Feelings" to report it!

The emperor immediately said angrily: "The people have sued the officials. This has never happened in the past. You are trying to shake the foundation of the country. What is the dignity of the officials?"

The queen mother couldn't help interjecting: "And the salary of a small sesame official is meager, there is no place to be filial, and even starving, how can I devote myself to the court?"

"Naturally, extraordinary things must be done in extraordinary times." Nan Suju said: "Your Majesty just asked how to deal with the riots in the disaster area. The courtiers are just discussing facts. You want evidence. Of course, only those who can see the evidence can produce evidence. The victims of the disaster are those who have personally experienced the evidence, and only when the officials are clean and honest can the people feel at ease."

Only then did the empress understand why Nan Surou didn't explain this strategy to the prince. The prince...has no right to implement the new policy at all.

"Having said that, but..." the emperor fell into deep thought.

Nan Surou added: "People's petitions should not be overdone. The 'Minqing' must have the right to investigate, but not to have trial authority. And, to avoid official disapproval, another benefit had to be added.”

"What kind of welfare?" The emperor blurted out.

"Promoting honesty and gold, 'people's sentiments' should not only investigate corrupt officials, but also clean officials, publish the list of clean officials every year, and give certain gold and silver rewards according to their merits, so as to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing, and can be officials with peace of mind, and will no longer be useful' The salary is too low to live on' as an excuse to corrupt the law." Nan Surou lowered her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, things have already happened. A country is like a person. If you are sick, you must treat the disease to save the patient. Any preventive measures It's useless, if you can't prescribe the right medicine, it will only spread the pain."

The Empress Dowager also said just now that the salary of local officials is too little, and the family with a slightly larger population can only drink northwest wind. If there is no place to worship, they will not be able to eat at all. If the court wants to encourage integrity, it must take measures to protect integrity. Otherwise, except for those whose faith is greater than material life, the rest of the common people will be more or less greedy, and the atmosphere will never be correct.

This so-called incorruptible list is similar to Nan Surou's "comparison of masters' lists" in Hu's residence.

Many of the officials are fame seekers. They want to make money, but also want fame and fortune. Once a list is announced, it is linked to money, and everyone will rush to do a good job.

There are not so many loyal people in this world. They are all about the combination of interests. Only when both parties are satisfied with each other can things be done.

The emperor thought for a moment.

Nan Surou is right, the most urgent thing is to prescribe the right medicine.

Those competent ministers couldn't think of a countermeasure, but Nan Surou's countermeasure was unconventional.

On the bright side, this "people's sentiment" does have a certain effect, but it is definitely not something that the bureaucrats in the government and the opposition can come up with, because no one wants to be an official but also be a slave to the people. Even if they know that the people are water, They can overwhelm the boat, and they still feel that they are more noble subconsciously.
