Chapter 43: On Politics
The old man Zhu Yuanzhang came in from outside the door with a smile, his face was rosy, and he was obviously in a good mood.
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly and said, Grandpa Huang, you look so beautiful today!
For no reason, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red. Your grandfather's mood was not good one!
Zhu Yunxiu wanted to laugh but didn't dare. The old man was over 60 years old and he was still doing that. He was worthy of being the son of the plane.
After breakfast? Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and asked.
Not yet, I'm waiting for you to eat together! Zhu Yunxiu bowed.
Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously a little unhappy. What should I do? You are a half-sized man, and you have to eat when you get up! As he said, he looked at the memorials and said, "If you don't eat food, you won't have the energy to govern the country!"
Then, he said to the eunuch, bring the breakfast and let’s have it with Dasun!
After saying that, he picked up the memorial that Zhu Yunyu had just approved and read it carefully. What he read was exactly what Zhu Yunyu had just written about, the way to deal with local officials' disaster situation.
It’s not so troublesome to kill it directly! Zhu Yuanzhang looked open and spoke, but when he saw it, he thought about it.
Killing is simple, but killing is useless to the disaster! Zhu Yunxi said that when his grandson went to Jiangxi, he found that some of the local officials were afraid to report the disaster. Even the local relations were intricate, not because they did not report it, but because they concealed it from the grassroots level. It was convenient for them to do it and use natural disasters to make themselves rich.
So my grandson thought that if he could send a censor, a Jinshi and a student to inspect the local area, and check the people's conditions. At least, it would be a constraint on the local area.
It's a solution! Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and sighed, "We have killed so many corrupt officials, but there are still people in the local area who want to be greedy, and they are really going to be killed!" As he said, he shook the memorials. Whenever there was a natural disaster, they would be when they were rich. The Henan Provincial Administration Office was pretty good. He didn't ask for money and food all the time, but was tax-free. This is the truth, benefiting the people!
Regarding the administration of the government, my grandson had some immature views! Zhu Yunxiu thought about it and spoke.
You said! Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dislike him, and he took his grandson's tea bowl and fucked him.
It is better to be distracted than to block it. Human nature is greedy. If you rely on killing without supervision and constraints, corrupt officials will never be killed! Zhu Yunxiu spoke slowly, while speaking, looking at the old man's face. His grandson thought it would be better to organize another department outside the center and six ministries. The inspector and the honest bachelor of the Hanlin Academy serve as official positions and supervise officials in the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang bit the tea leaves in his mouth. The Inspectorate was doing this, so why add another one?
The Inspectorate reported the news, and the department mentioned by the grandson was dedicated to supervising the administration! Zhu Yunxiu continued, to be honest, it is to supervise officials all over the world. The Inspectorate only has the right to report the memorial, but has no right to deal with it.
Then how should we supervise it? Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
For example, the reserve officials elected in the imperial examination registered their property in the supervision department. In addition to their own property, they also have the property of their immediate relatives, such as parents, brothers, children, wives and tribe members. The supervision department checks it every year or three years. If his family's wealth doubles, it goes without saying that he is naturally a corrupt official. Even if he hides his property and falls into the name of others, there are always traces to follow.
He is very brave, and even your grandfather dares not do the property of the registered officials! Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi continued, secondly, every time there is corruption among officials, it is only after the Inspectorate Report that the Emperor Grandpa ordered people to check. The supervision department mentioned by the grandson sets up official positions in various places, such as the prefectures and other places, sets up integrity envoys to supervise local officials and minor officials. Those who violate the law and discipline can report and deal with it at any time. In order to avoid small greed turning into big greed and big greed turning into big greed!
As he said that, he looked at the old man's face. His grandson knew that what he said was unrealistic, but this was just a little superficial view of the grandson. Among them, there was also the meticulousness of the grandson. However, his grandson meant that it was best to establish a system, use the system to clean up the administration of officials and intimidate illegal officials!
It's a bit shallow! Zhu Yuanzhang said laughingly, however, as a ruler, you are not afraid of making mistakes and saying things, but you are afraid that you will not dare to do or think. That would be a fool! As he said that, he laughed again, but this method is not advisable!
Zhu Yunxiu also said it casually. In fact, this problem has been brewing in his mind for a long time, and there has been no perfect plan.
Just talking about the registered officials' property, do you know how big a setbacks it will cause! Zhu Yuanzhang continued to drink tea and said with a smile, afraid that once this matter was said, it would become a threat to thousands of people and leave a thousand years of infamy. Even if the emperor mentioned this matter, whether it was OK or not, he would be scolded by scholars all over the world as Emperor Yang of Sui.
Being an official for thousands of miles is just for wealth, and the truth is like this for thousands of years. Your grandfather has killed so many corrupt officials, but most of them are greedy and stupid fools. If you are truly smart corrupt officials, your grandfather can do nothing to them!
Just think about this method, you can't say it, at least you can't say it out of your mouth. Your grandfather has already gained a reputation for being cruel. As for you, you have to be a wise king!
Besides, if you set up a separate supervision department, what is your name?
Zhu Yunxiu thought about it and smiled, "The Integrity Office?"
The name sounds nice! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Officials are important weapons for the country and cannot be set up lightly." Do you think that local governments should be set up to supervise officials, who will they listen to?
For example, the Henan Supervisor was naturally the Henan Provincial Administrator!
Haha! Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, then what's the use of setting up this official? Isn't you checking yourself? He wants to deal with corrupt officials. If the Chief Secretary does not allow him, will he dare to surpass his rank? If this continues, then the integrity envoy will soon become the ears of a deaf person. Will the arrangement be made? Instead of that, it is better to use the Jinyiwei and the Censor of the Inspectorate!
Zhu Yunxiu blushed a little. He also knew that this was a shallow view and there were too many immature aspects. But the same sentence was the same. He thought that this was a way of thinking. Although there were many unrealistic aspects, it was always a direction to say it.
With the direction, after careful consideration and careful adjustment, it may not be impossible to remove the shortcomings and take the essence of it.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said again, but we agree with what you said, using the system and the national laws to restrain you. As he said, the old man seemed a little sad, and it was not possible to rely on killing. Your grandfather killed so many people, and some of them were also wrongly killed!
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "Do you know the root cause of corruption?"
It's still on the emperor! Zhu Yunxiu spoke.
Yes, it's right! Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "A foolish emperor only knows how to deal with his ministers. If he is not inappropriate in restraint, he will naturally cause the corruption of the official system. Although a correct emperor cannot avoid it, it can restrain the officials in the world.
The grandson will set an example and be an example for the world. Zhu Yunsheng said seriously.
This is what we like as a child. We always know how to set an example and do our best to ask others! Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
At this time, breakfast is on.
The father and the other two sat at the dining table, eating and chatting.
We were at the door just now and frowned when we were watching the memorial, but we encountered problems that could not be solved?
Gansu maintains the Great Wall and asks to allocate civilians!
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his job, do you think he should practice it?
There is nothing to be done or not, only suitable or not! Zhu Yunxiu said that building the Great Wall beacon tower can ensure the stability of the border, but Gansu is already poor, and if people's power is abused, it will not be worth the loss!
You are right, you cannot abuse the people's strength. But military and national affairs cannot be delayed! Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly, and love for the people should not be abandoned, but the country and the country are more important. Sometimes, those who are the king must be cruel! As he said, the old man looked at Zhu Yunxi and said earnestly, "Grandson, you must be a virtuous king in the future, but you must be a more ruthless!"
Grandson remembered it! Zhu Yunsheng nodded and said.
Eat, eat! Zhu Yuanzhang pushed the dishes in front of Zhu Yunxi. Lan Yu's army had returned to the court for some days. The rewards to the three armies were delayed because of our birthday. Today, you go to the military camp!
