I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 598 The Royal Entertainment Room
Although what they said was exaggerated, this was exactly what Li Tian wanted.

Transparency in the work and salaries of civil servants is not enough to make officials all over the world clean, but at least it can minimize corruption.

This is not empty talk.

Regardless of whether it is a high-ranking official or a small official, if they want to collect money, it is impossible for them to end it by themselves.

It is important for them to have subordinates to do things for them. Since they are allowed to do things, it is impossible not to give them benefits.

But after all of their subordinates became civil servants with transparent income, other civil servants would know who suddenly became rich and whose family suddenly became rich.

Reporting corruption of colleagues and superiors is one of the basic duties of civil servants. When they are aware of corruption, they will be designated to report it as soon as possible for promotion.

Unless a corrupt official can buy all the public officials under him, the corruption will definitely be detected.

It has to be said that Li Tian's move is very vicious, and it is much more efficient than Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di's secret agents of Jin Yiwei who secretly monitored all the officials in the world.

And history has also proved that giving Jinyiwei and Dongchang too much power is simply putting the cart before the horse, not only failing to eliminate corruption.

On the contrary, it is easy for them to become tools for those who want to eradicate dissidents.

Li Tian also realized this, so he abolished most of the Jinyiwei at once, and basically abolished the East Factory.

In his opinion, as long as Jin Yiwei acts well, the duties of the armed police and criminal police are enough, and there is no need to participate in the anti-corruption duties at all.

As for Dongchang, as the detective team directly under the emperor, it only needs to fulfill the duties of investigating and handling major and important cases assigned by the emperor honestly, and there is no need to continue to retain other rights.

The benefits of civil servants, the six ministers have a thorough understanding, and basically agree with Li Tian's decision.

After getting their approval, the next thing will be much easier to handle.

Li Tian doesn't have to worry about the assessment and promotion of civil servants, just leave it to Yang Shiqi and others to continue discussing with them.

What remains to be urgently resolved is to clean up the problem of redundant officials in the imperial court.

The interest issues involved in this cannot be resolved overnight.

If it is not done well, I am afraid it will cause more serious problems than the investigation of the Tianxia Wei.

Fortunately, the system of civil servants has given them a good buffer.

Get out of the court system, if they are really talented, they can still find a suitable position in the emerging class of civil servants.

But if they can't even pass the examination of civil servants and are finally eliminated completely, there is nothing to complain about.

At that time, if there are still people who are dissatisfied or even make trouble, Li Tian will not be the same as he is now.

When necessary, beheading a hundred or eighty of his heads is not a big deal.

The two assessments for different groups of people are currently the top priority. Li Tian is asking them again and again, telling them to treat them with caution.

In order to motivate them to do these two things well, in the end Li Tian also let go. In the two assessments, those who did well would be rewarded, and those who did not well might even be slapped to the end.

Now the six ministers are completely nervous, and no one dares to take it lightly.

After all, the person who can get to their position has not been through decades of hard work, and no one would be willing to be kicked out of the power core of Daming just like that.

At the end of the discussion, Li Tian waved his hand and classified the basic service personnel of the Tiangong Institute, the Exchange, and the Household Reform Bureau into the category of civil servants.

This can be regarded as a sign for the officials and grassroots officials.

Let them know clearly what a civil servant is and what a civil servant needs to do.

The division this time can be considered as a big help to Huang Zhun and Zhou Zhen.

With the positions in these popular departments as backup, even if those who were rejected by the assessment still have criticisms, there will be no chaos.

After all, these departments are places that many people can't get into even if they break their heads.

After solving the problem here and giving follow-up opinions, Li Tian ran out of the cabinet in a flash, leaving all follow-up troublesome matters to them.

I plunged into the entertainment room to enjoy myself.

What he didn't expect was that the entertainment room was extremely lively today.

Not only more than half of my cheap son and daughter came, but even several concubines from the harem came.

When he arrived, the queen was carefully playing billiards under the guidance of Zhu Gaosui.

Some of the other little guys were cheering for their mother and concubine, while others were playing table football.

Seeing Li Tian's arrival, they were all taken aback. They all stopped their movements and froze there, not knowing whether to continue or run away.

The queen was very generous, she stepped forward to help Li Tian take off the thick cloak, and hung it on the hanger beside her.

asked curiously,
"Isn't Your Majesty discussing important matters with Mr. Yang Ge and the others? Why did you come back so soon?"

As she spoke, she also had a bit of embarrassment on her face.

Everyone knows that this place is Li Tian's exclusive relaxation and entertainment room, and they really shouldn't come to occupy the magpie's nest.

Li Tian saw that everyone was having fun before, and it was not easy to drive them away, so he smiled and waved to everyone.

"Keep playing, today I will treat you as a holiday."

The concubines didn't respond, but the little fellows were as happy as monkeys, jumping up and down.

Li Tian lay comfortably among the concubines, enjoying their massage and back massage.

Greet the queen and they continue,

"Keep playing, too. I want to see how much progress you have made after secretly practicing for so long."

The queen's face turned red, she really didn't have much talent for playing this game, let alone the little prince Zhu Gaosui of billiards, she couldn't even beat a few eleven or twelve year old princes and princesses.

At most, she can only bully the other concubines.

After several mistakes in a row, the queen simply threw away the pole and leaned against Li Tian, ​​saying in a sour tone,
"Don't play, it's not fun at all, Your Majesty is biased, here are some things suitable for men to play, why doesn't Your Majesty make something suitable for courtiers and others to play with?"

Hearing what she said, the other concubines also chirped and said,
"That's right, there's nothing suitable for us to play."

Li Tian smiled wryly, and muttered to himself,

"This can also be blamed on me. This place is my usual recreational place. Who asked you to join in the fun!"
