The old man, Zhu Yuanzhang, came in from the door with a smile on his face, his face was rosy, and he was obviously in a good mood.
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa Huang, you look good today!"
For no reason, Zhu Yuanzhang blushed and said, "Your grandpa was not in good mood one day!"
Zhu Yunxi wanted to laugh but didn't dare. The old man was over sixty and still did that. He was worthy of being a son of the plane.
"Have you had breakfast?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked as he sat down.
"Not yet, I'm waiting for you to eat together!" Zhu Yunxi saluted.
Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously a little unhappy, "What are you waiting for? You are a young man, you have to eat when you get up!" After saying that, he looked at the memorials and said, "If you don't even eat, how can you have the energy to govern the country?"
Then he said to the eunuch, "Bring breakfast, let's eat it with the eldest grandson!"
After finishing speaking, he picked up the memorial that Zhu Yunxi had just approved and read it carefully. What he was reading was exactly what Zhu Yunxi had just written, about the methods for local officials to deal with disasters.
"Why go to all this trouble, just kill him!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked away and said, but when he saw the back, he became thoughtful.
"Killing is easy, but killing is useless to the disaster!" Zhu Yunxi said, "When my grandson went to Jiangxi, he found that some local officials were afraid to report the disaster. In fact, local relations are intricately intertwined. It's not that they don't report, but that they start from the grassroots level.
Hiding it layer by layer to facilitate them, using their hands to enrich themselves with natural disasters."
"So Sun'er thought, if we could send the censor, Jinshi, and supervisors to patrol, supervise the local area, and check the public sentiment. At least, it would be a constraint on the local area."
"That's a way!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then sighed, "We have killed so many corrupt officials, but there are still people who want to be corrupt in the local area, so we can't stop killing them!" He said, shaking the memorial, "Whenever there is a natural disaster, there will be
When they were getting rich, the Chief Secretary of Henan Province was quite good. He did not ask for money or food, but was exempted from taxes. This is true and benefits the people!"
"My grandson has some immature views on officialdom!" Zhu Yunxi thought about it and said.
"Say it!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind it, and took a sip from his grandson's tea bowl.
"The so-called blocking is worse than sparing. Human nature is greedy and relies solely on killing without supervision and restraint. Corrupt officials will never be killed!" Zhu Yunxi spoke slowly, looking at the old man's face as he spoke, "My grandson thought, it would be better if we were in the center. , in addition to the six departments, another one was organized. The censors and honest Hanlin Academy bachelors were appointed as officials to supervise the officials of the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang bit the tea foam in his mouth and said, "This is what the Inspectorate is for, why bother adding another one?"
"The Inspectorate is responsible for reporting on rumors, and the department Sun'er mentioned is specifically responsible for supervising the administration of officials!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "To put it bluntly, it supervises officials all over the world. The Inspectorate only has the power to report, but not to deal with it.
right."
"Then how to monitor?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"For example, if a reserve official selected by the imperial examination has his family property registered with the inspection department, in addition to his own property, there is also the property of his immediate family members, such as parents, brothers, children, wives, and clan members. The records are registered one by one every year or
The supervisory department will check once every three years. If his wealth has doubled, it goes without saying that he is a corrupt official. Even if he hid his property and put it in someone else's name, there are always traces."
"You are very courageous. Even your grandfather would not dare to register the property of an official!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
Zhu Yunxi continued, "Secondly, every time there is corruption among officials, it is only after the Supervisory Council reports it that the emperor orders people to check it. The supervisory department that Sun'er mentioned has set up official positions in various parts of the world, such as government offices, etc.
Local government officials should set up integrity envoys to supervise local officials and petty officials. Those who violate laws and disciplines can be reported at any time and dealt with at any time. To prevent petty corruption from turning into big corruption, and big corruption from turning into huge corruption!"
As he spoke, he looked at the old man's face and said, "My grandson knows that what he said is unrealistic, but this is just my humble opinion. The details include brainstorming and discussions with the courtiers. However, grandson
What I mean is that it is best to establish a system, use the system to purge officials and govern according to national laws, and deter unscrupulous officials!"
"It's a bit shallow!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "However, as a gentleman, you are not afraid of doing or saying something wrong, but you are afraid that you don't dare to do it or think about it. That would be stupid!" He said, smiling again, "But,
This method is not advisable!"
Zhu Yunxi also said casually. In fact, this problem has been brewing in his mind for a long time, and he has never had a perfect solution.
"Just talking about registering the property of officials, do you know how much trouble it will cause!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to drink tea and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that as soon as this matter is said out, it will become the target of thousands of people and leave a thousand years of infamy. Even the emperor,
As long as you mention this matter, not to mention whether you can do it or not, you will be scolded as Emperor Sui Yang by the scholars all over the world."
"Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money. This has been true for thousands of years. Your grandfather has killed so many corrupt officials, but most of them were idiots who were greedy and stupid. Even the really smart corrupt officials, your grandfather can't do anything with them!"
"Just think about it. You can't say it, at least it can't come out of your mouth. Your grandfather has already gained a reputation as a cruel man. When it comes to you, you have to be a wise king!"
"Furthermore, if you set up a separate supervision department, what would it be called?"
Zhu Yunxi thought about it and smiled, "Integrity Yamen?"
"It's a nice name!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile, "Officials are important weapons of the country and cannot be taken lightly. You said that if you set up integrity envoys at the local level to supervise officials, who do they listen to?"
"For example, the Supervisory Envoy of Henan Province naturally listens to the Chief Secretary of Henan Province!"
"Haha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "Then what's the use of setting up this official? Aren't you just checking yourself? He wants to deal with corrupt officials. If the Chief Secretary doesn't allow it, will he dare to step beyond the level? If things go on like this, the Integrity Officer will soon be
Have you become the ears of the deaf and a decoration? Rather than that, it would be better to use the royal guards and the censors of the Inspectorate!"
Zhu Yunxi blushed a little. He also knew that this was a shallow view and there were too many immature aspects. But again, he thought this was a train of thought. Although it had many unrealistic aspects, it was still a direction.
.
Once you have a direction, it may not be impossible to eliminate the shortcomings and extract the essence through careful deliberation and careful adjustment.
At this time, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say again, "However, what you said is to use systems and national laws to restrain it. I agree very much." As he said that, the old man seemed a little sad, "You can't rely on killing. Your grandfather killed so many people."
Some people were killed by mistake!"
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang said again, "Do you know the root cause of corruption?"
"It's still on the emperor!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"Yes, you are right!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. "A foolish emperor only knows tricks and tricks, and does not restrain his ministers properly, which will naturally lead to the corruption of the official system. And an upright emperor, although inevitable, can make the officials of the world corrupt.
convergence."
"My grandson will set an example and be a role model for the world." Zhu Yunxi said seriously.
"This is what we like about you, kid. You always know how to set an example and do well yourself before you can ask others to do it!" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.
At this time, breakfast is served.
The two men sat at the dinner table and chatted while eating.
"We were at the door just now and saw you frowning while reading the memorial, but you encountered a problem that you couldn't solve?"
"Gansu repairs the Great Wall, please mobilize civilian workers!"
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his job and asked, "Do you think it should be repaired?"
"There is no right or wrong, only whether it is appropriate or not!" Zhu Yunxi said, "Building the Great Wall beacon tower can ensure the stability of the border, but Gansu is already barren. If people's power is abused, the gains outweigh the losses!"
"You are right, you cannot abuse people's power. However, military and state affairs cannot be delayed!" Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly, "You must not lose your love for the people, but the country, the country, and the country are more important. A king must sometimes be cruel!"
Then, the old man looked at Zhu Yunxi and said seriously, "Dasun, you will be a wise king in the future, but you must also be cruel!"
"My grandson will remember it!" Zhu Yunxi nodded and said.
"Eat, eat!" Zhu Yuanzhang pushed the food in front of Zhu Yunxi, "Lanyu's army has been back for a while, and the reward for the three armies has been delayed because of my birthday. Today, please go to the military camp.
