Chapter 243 The benefits of the Independent Commission Against Corruption!
"I know His Majesty's worries. There are some officials in the court that Your Majesty does not want to touch. You are afraid that the Independent Commission Against Corruption will find out about these people."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
Chongzhen said he was worried that the Independent Commission Against Corruption would frighten all the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government into danger. Lin Fan absolutely did not believe this. After all, as the emperor, what he wanted was for the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government to be afraid of him.
Only when officials are afraid of themselves will they do their best to do what they ask. Only in this way will Chongzhen's ambitions have a chance to be displayed.
"You are right. After I came to the throne, many officials in the DPRK and China changed. If the Independent Commission Against Corruption is established, the flow of officials in the DPRK and China will be even greater!"
"Moreover, the relationship between North Korea and China is so intricate that even if the Independent Commission Against Corruption is established, it will inevitably be infiltrated by some people."
Emperor Chongzhen said.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. You can personally take charge of the ICAC, and the evidence found by the ICAC should be shown to you first."
"As for whether you want to convict certain people, that's up to you to decide. In this way, the things you worry about will disappear."
Lin Fan suggested.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Haha! If I really do this, I will definitely attract criticism from the officials in the DPRK. Many things cannot be hidden."
"Your Majesty, as the head of a country, are you still worried about this?"
Lin Fan asked rhetorically.
In my heart, I once again despised Chongzhen: "Oh! This old boy Chongzhen really disappoints me. As the leader of a country, he is actually afraid of the criticism of his courtiers!"
"Throughout history, how many of those emperors were good in the eyes of the ministers?
Those ministers, whether they are romantic or not, even if the emperor accepts a concubine, they can stand up and obstruct it."
"Therefore, the emperor should be decisive and use strong means to suppress those ministers. Only in this way will the emperor's rewards be rewards and favors be favors."
"Otherwise, these officials would still think that the emperor was weak and not their opponent, so they lost to them."
this……
Emperor Chongzhen was touched by Lin Fan's voice. He found that his son was a deviant, but every word he said and everything he did was very reasonable.
Could it be that I am really too incompetent?
"So, the Independent Commission Against Corruption must be established?"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lin Fan and asked.
"Your Majesty, after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Although it will scare most officials, it can act as a deterrent, and it can also encourage those who are capable."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Okay! I have agreed to establish the Independent Commission Against Corruption. How do you think I will recruit officials for the Independent Commission Against Corruption?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked again.
"Your Majesty, this is even simpler. I think it is best for the first batch of officials of the ICAC to be selected from eunuchs, and then gradually replaced by people trusted by Your Majesty."
Lin Fan suggested.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not allow eunuchs to interfere in politics, this taboo was broken during the reign of Emperor Tianqi. If Emperor Chongzhen came again, the officials would have nothing to say.
"I'm afraid it would be even more inappropriate for a eunuch to do this..."
Emperor Chongzhen said.
"Your Majesty, the shadow left by Wei Zhongxian in the hearts of these officials still exists. At this time, you set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption and put the eunuchs in charge."
"Hey, those officials will only be afraid. Your Majesty only needs to withstand the pressure from the early stage. By then, the court will definitely be extremely stable."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded. Although he still had many worries, the benefits of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption were too great.
"I have agreed to this matter. I will announce the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption tomorrow morning. At that time, Wang Chengen will be the one to work for me."
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Lin Fan was not worried at all that the ICAC would affect him, and he could also use the ICAC's help to continuously blackmail these officials.
Almost none of these officials in the last years of Chongzhen was a good person. How much money he could make was all based on his ability. Making money is not about making excuses.
After leaving the palace, Lin Fan did not go to the Baihusi Yamen. Lin Fan had already asked the people from the Baihusi to deal with Xu Fengchu's matter, and he also told Sun Buer about it.
I believe that with Sun Buer's temper, Xu Fengchu had deceived his son, how could he be tolerated?
It will definitely be tortured severely.
Back at Lin Mansion, Lin Fan signed in as usual.
Recently, the rewards for signing in have been all kinds of weird. There are soaps, washing powder, everything, but only one pack is given, which makes Lin Fan speechless.
Why don't you give me a formula so that I can produce it and make a lot of money?
Ding!
"The host signed in successfully and received a piece of potato."
kindness!
Actually gave it to potatoes!
Lin Fan cooperated with businessmen in Xi'an City and asked them to search for crop seeds all over the world. Among them, potato seeds were the one Lin Fan wanted to get most.
You know, the yield of potatoes is very high. Even in the Ming Dynasty, the yield per mu could easily reach four thousand kilograms.
What is this concept? During this period, the wheat yield was only about 400 jins per mu. Some land was barren, and the yields ranged from 200 to 300 jins to 700 to 800 jins per mu.
From this we can see the beauty of potatoes, and potatoes themselves are seeds.
Lin Fan held the potato in his hand and walked excitedly inside.
Liu Qingqing saw it and came over and asked: "Sir, what is this in your hand?
It looks like a lump of soil."
"This is a good thing. When I grow it, I will make it delicious for you!"
Lin Fan said.
"Sir, people have been coming to the palace for the past few days. They say that your wedding is approaching and they want you to learn etiquette."
Liu Qingqing said.
After this period of time, Liu Qingqing became much more cheerful and seemed to have accepted Lin Fan's intention to get married.
Lin Fan said: "Why should I learn that if I have nothing to do?
If someone comes from the palace, just find a reason to send them away."
After that, Lin Fan went to his backyard and planted potatoes in the vegetable garden. The vegetable garden had a tenfold bonus, and with the addition of farmyard manure, it was twenty times.
In other words, it only takes half a day for the potatoes to sprout. Cut them and plant them. In less than ten days, you can harvest hundreds of kilograms of potatoes!
At that time, I will buy some land outside the city and plant it in a large area. By June and July, I can harvest a large amount of potatoes.
Moreover, potatoes mature relatively early and can be planted again, which means that people will also be able to obtain potato seeds.
