Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 206
Li Shimin asked: "How did you think of it?"

"Most local officials come from aristocratic families, and the new imperial examination you set up is tantamount to breaking with the aristocratic family. I think everyone has already torn their faces, so just tear it to the end, but if you remove the official positions of the aristocratic children for no reason, you can't stop it." There are so many people living here, so I thought about using the assessment, and the content of the assessment should not be the field that the aristocratic family is good at, such as Confucianism, but the focus should be on how to enrich the common people and other real political achievements. There are very few. When the time comes, you will be able to justifiably cut off the branches and leaves of the family and isolate its main body. In this way, people in the world will have nothing to say. When I think about the problems of redundant officials and personnel in the imperial examination, I feel that the examination The same applies."

"Okay!" Li Shimin glanced at Qin Feng unexpectedly, and said, "You really figured out a way!" He really didn't expect to get a good idea from Qin Feng, but only among the people he can trust at present Qin Feng is the only one who knows about this and can discuss it.Just try your luck, even if you don't get a satisfactory answer, it's better than thinking hard all by yourself.But he didn't want Qin Feng to use the simplest way.It was a big surprise to help him solve this problem.

Qin Feng said complacently: "What's the matter, I have a lot of ideas!"

Li Shimin's confusion was cleared, and he was in a good mood. Hearing Qin Feng's boast, his eyes rolled and he said, "Okay? Tell me to open my eyes."

"Corruption is the most troublesome problem in all dynasties. You can't stop killing and arresting, don't you think so?" Qin Feng asked

"That's right!" Li Shimin's heart was pounding in his chest. As Qin Feng said, corruption has been the number one problem in all dynasties, and it is also an unsolvable problem.And Qin Feng obviously has a way.Therefore, Li Shimin's tiger eyes flashed with fanatical flames.

Qin Feng stretched out his fist and raised his voice: "Recently, I read some official history, unofficial history, and miscellaneous books, and I also learned about some cases of corruption. In my opinion, there are three main methods for officials to engage in corruption: cover up by the boss, borrow money and food." Charge the account, falsely report the account." Every time he said a word, he stretched out a finger.

"The first way to deal with corrupt officials is to send imperial envoys to clean up the deficit. If you don't send imperial envoys and rely on corrupt criminals to investigate your own corruption, you will never be able to find out; relying on corrupt officials' bosses is also not feasible, because There is no corrupt person who does not curry favor with his boss, and does not give bribes and gifts to his boss. Even if his boss is clean, he is not reliable. Because if there is a serious deficit in the locality and corrupt officials are rampant, and they do nothing, then they can only There are two situations: either stupid officials or mediocre officials, it is impossible to succeed by relying on these people to clean up the deficit."

"Only by sending imperial envoys can we thoroughly investigate the situation of corrupt officials. The imperial envoys are directly under the imperial court and have nothing to do with the local government. These people have no lessons learned from the past and no worries about the future. They are directly under the leadership of the emperor and will definitely do their best. I want to ask for credit and reward by eliminating corrupt officials. The most suitable imperial envoys are Yushitai and admonishers. First of all, they are peerless experts who find faults, and they are sent to thoroughly investigate local problems; Secondly, Yushitai and admonition officials are independent from the three provinces and six ministries, which can guarantee a certain degree of fairness and justice. The imperial envoys patrol the world on behalf of the emperor, and their power is surprisingly large. , only give them the right to picket, collect evidence, and arrest them. If they cross the border, they will be killed without mercy, and all their property will be confiscated and paid to the victim's family."

"Wait, what is an imperial envoy?"

The imperial envoy, also referred to as the imperial envoy, was a temporary official position in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such thing as an imperial envoy.

The so-called qin means the emperor, and the imperial envoy means the emperor's dispatch. Therefore, the imperial envoy is an official sent by the emperor to handle certain matters.Because it represents the emperor himself, its status is very high.It is often a high-ranking official who is trusted by the emperor to hold this official position, and it is also an honor to be able to obtain this office.After the general affairs are completed and the order is returned, the official position will be cancelled.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, imperial envoys had great power, and local officials who violated the imperial program could be cut off first and then exercise power. Because of the excessive power, many imperial envoys made many incidents that harmed others and benefited themselves when they were patrolling the world.Because of this, Qin Feng limited the power of the imperial envoy in his proposal.

After listening to Qin Feng's interpretation of the imperial envoy, Li Shimin's thoughts were short-circuited.

After tidying up for a while, he finally sorted out the clues. A flash of understanding and excitement flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "The imperial envoy and the arrangement of his powers are very interesting. Don't be stunned and continue talking."

"You understand the meaning of the imperial envoy, then let's talk about the staffing of the imperial envoy and his team: In addition to the imperial envoy himself and his assistants, he also brought a group of idle officials who were assigned positions by the court to investigate and find out a corrupt official Immediately remove the dirty official, and choose an official of the same level from among the idle officials to take over."

"Wonderful! Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" Li Shimin said five "wonderful" words in one breath, and he couldn't hide his gratitude and said: "Officials and officials protect each other is a persistent problem in the officialdom. Successive officials have always helped their predecessors to repair holes, and then Leaving a large shortfall for the successor to make up for it. This is one of the reasons why the shortfall can never be made up. But if you do it like this, it will be different. The person who took office later came to check the accounts Well, for the sake of his own future, the account inspector will naturally not smooth things over and cover for him. In this way, this corrupt official will have nowhere to escape, but to bow his head and plead guilty and accept punishment. Moreover, the account inspector also knows how his official position is. He came here, so he can only do things conscientiously, and dare not be corrupt, because no one knows that the imperial envoy will find him one day."

"The second way for corrupt officials to deal with inspections is to borrow money and food to make up the shortfall. When the boss comes to check the accounts, he borrows some money and food from local wealthy households to put in the treasury. When the people above see it, there is a lot of money. As soon as the inspectors leave, the money and food are returned. Because it is an official loan, not only the interest is high, but also they are not afraid of not paying back, and the wealthy households do not want to offend the local officials, so this method is often used by corrupt officials. In response to this trick, You have completely formulated a law, that is, no one can lend money and food to the government. You can borrow it if you want. I am willing to lend money and food to corrupt officials. Corrupt officials have nowhere to escape without the support of wealthy households.

For the false reimbursement of corrupt officials, you can set up an independent verification and auditing agency, whose task is to check and verify the payment of money and food by officials at all levels.Since then, all localities have to pay taxes or reimburse expenses, and the money, food and funds used have to pass the audit, and no one can do anything in the end. "

"The above is enough to cut off the emergence of corruption. As for the corrupt officials that have already occurred, the method is three steps: first dismissal, second compensation, and third home raid."

"Dismiss officials first: that is, after a deficit is detected, all official positions are immediately suspended, and the official is ordered to make up for it within a time limit. A dismissed official can no longer exploit the common people, and they can only fill the deficit with their own pockets. Officials who stole money appear, and the way to deal with this is to ransack their homes, and only by chasing down corrupt officials to the point of destitution, and making their descendants poor, can we achieve the goal of warning the world and future generations.”

"Hey! When these tricks are used in the officialdom one by one, corrupt officials have only one way to go, and that is a dead end! Because in addition to compensating the treasury, there are various laws waiting for him. For these people, my suggestion is There is not even a dead end. Some people know that their crimes are too serious to protect themselves, so they want to deny it at death, and use death to preserve their property for future generations to enjoy. This is absolutely impossible."

Finally, Qin Feng smiled and said: "You said, it's like this! What will happen in this world?"

Li Shimin shocked Qin Feng deeply. He couldn't recover for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter: "In this way, there will be no officials in the world who are unclear, and no officials dare to be corrupt! Come on, Jiangfang, Du The second prime minister invites me, hurry up!"

"See Your Majesty!"

Not long after, Fang Mou Du Juan arrived at the palace in a state of uncertainty.

"Xuanling, Keming, sit down!" Li Shimin couldn't hide his excitement and told Qin Feng's words one by one. If it was inappropriate, Qin Feng added from the side. The method of governing officials is completely restored.

"This proposal is very good"

Fang Xuanling took a step forward and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the several strategies for governing officials presented by General Qin are all the works of heaven and man. I suggest that laws be formed immediately and announced to the world!"

Du Ruhui also looked excited. With his intelligence, it is not difficult to judge that this strategy is indeed feasible. He seems to have seen the prospect of the entire Tang Dynasty being clean and honest for the people.

"Your Majesty, General Qin is a genius in managing officials. He has a unique ability to manage officials and has a long-term vision. Even if he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he is hard to beat. I suggest that General Qin abandon martial arts and follow literature. I also suggest that Your Majesty entrust the Ministry of Officials to General Qin." Du Ruhui's eyes widened. Light, the saliva almost stayed. With Qin Feng's level, if he entered the official department, he and Fang Xuanling, the actual leader of Shangshu Province, would be very relaxed.

Li Shimin looked at Qin Feng with a moved expression.

Compared with the military, Qin Feng has shown too many amazing strategies in literary affairs and the way of governing the country.

"No, no! I'm just good at talking, but I can't do these complicated things. The army is simple, which suits my temperament." Qin Feng was shocked. If he was transferred to the civil servant department, he would have to let the complicated government affairs His head was broken and his blood flowed, and his honor was given to Dongliu Shui for the rest of his life.

Fang Xuanling felt that Qin Feng was more developed in literary affairs, and that a young man could solve the eternal problems. If he was well trained, he would be a pillar of the Tang Dynasty in the future. He also heard that Qin Feng was not willing to go to the way of government affairs Development, but he loves talents eagerly, and induced Qin Feng: "Why do you have to join the army? Now that the world has been settled, it is time for a thousand wastes to be revived. Learning literature can help your majesty and govern the world. Isn't it better to realize your ideals? ambition?"

Qin Feng still shook his head resolutely, "The Turks have not been destroyed, the Western Regions have not been conquered, and the Northeast has not been restored. How dare the Prime Minister say that the world has been settled? My ambition is to be a centurion rather than a scholar. An ordinary man can't lose his ambition, please return me!" Your Majesty and the Prime Minister should not persuade you too much!"

Fang Xuanling was stunned, for a long time, he sighed!
