Chapter 354 The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Household need to cooperate!
Chapter 354 The Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Husbandry need to cooperate!
"My dear friends, Wang Shangshu's attitude towards doing things is worth learning from you!"
Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.
Wang Wuji was praised by Emperor Chongzhen and couldn't help but feel a little proud. The officials present were silent. Once such a policy was implemented, it would be impossible for them to promote some of their cronies.
Du Buju, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stroked his beard and stood up: "Your Highness, you just said that our Ministry of Punishment should manage officials in various places and provide justice to the people of the world. How can we do this?
"
After Du Buju said this, his beard was about to rise to the sky. He was thinking in his heart that when His Royal Highness pointed out the shortcomings of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, he directly pointed out the problem.
When talking about the problems of the Ministry of Punishment, he was vague, which shows that His Royal Highness himself does not know what the problem is or how to solve it.
Then he would ask the question in public. If His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't answer, he could say that he would find a solution when he got back. If anything went wrong in the meantime, His Highness the Crown Prince would not be able to blame himself.
Lin Fan looked at Du Buju's arrogant look and knew what he was thinking. This guy actually wants to cause some trouble for himself, so I'll give you more work.
"If the Ministry of Punishment wants to manage officials in various places well, it needs to increase assessments, and the standard for this assessment is the crime rate!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"kindness?
Your Highness, how come I don’t understand what you mean?”
Du Buju said doubtfully.
"It's very simple. If you want to achieve this, the Ministry of Punishment needs to cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs. For example, in a small county with a population of 5,000 people, there is only one case of theft and other cases every year. Among the 5,000 people,
Someone committed a crime."
"Then the crime rate is so low that it can be ignored. If there are 50 cases among 5,000 people, that is a crime rate of 1%!"
"As long as the crime rate can be kept at around one percent, it means that the city's crime rate is not high. If the crime rate reaches five percent, it means that the city's public security is average."
"Similarly, if the crime rate in this city reaches 10%, it is a highly dangerous city. Think about it, ten out of a hundred people will steal. What is this concept?"
"The crime rate statistics require people from the Ministry of Punishment to count the cases that occurred within a year, and people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to provide the population of each city!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
hiss!
When Du Buju heard this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself, His Royal Highness actually thought of a way to count the crime rate. The number of things in their Criminal Department has increased too much!
Lin Fan looked at Du Buju's expression like pig liver and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the imperial court will not increase the workload of the Ministry of Punishment for no reason."
"The number of officials in the Ministry of Justice can be appropriately increased. However, these promoted officials need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Personnel. If you have someone you like, you can also negotiate with the Ministry of Personnel!"
"At that time, let the Ministry of Personnel submit the list, and if your Majesty approves it, you can join the Ministry of Punishment."
After Lin Fan said that, Du Buju's face looked much better. Being able to promote more people would also reduce the pressure on the Punishment Department!
Moreover, he can also promote his cronies, which shows that His Highness the Crown Prince has given himself enough face.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, His Royal Highness!"
Du Buju said in a deep voice.
Lin Fan looked at Du Buju's respectful look and couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
"This is human nature. As the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Du Buju promotes his cronies. That is his right. But I took it back first and then returned it to him, and he was grateful to me!"
kindness!
Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he heard Lin Fan's thoughts. Wasn't the reason why Fan'er did this just to establish prestige in front of the officials, but to win over people's hearts?
The emperor's mind!
This is the most advanced imperial art!
I have been the emperor for so many years, but I still haven't realized it yet, but Fan'er uses it with such proficiency, it's really shocking!
The matter of the Minister of Works meeting with the Minister of Punishment was also resolved, and he also stood up.
"Your Highness, I have something to say. You just said that if there is another drought in various places in the future, it will be the responsibility of our officials from the Ministry of Industry. They will cut off our heads. I have to risk my life to advise you on this matter!"
"Officials of the Ministry of Industry are also human beings. If it doesn't rain, it is God's will. The Ministry of Industry cannot control God!"
Gao Tianyun, minister of the Ministry of Industry, said in a deep voice.
"Yes! This matter is outrageous. His Highness the Crown Prince's requirements for the Ministry of Industry are really too harsh!"
"If the Ministry of Industry can control when it will rain, our Ming Dynasty will have a bumper harvest every year and there will be no more disaster victims!"
"Alas! His Highness the Crown Prince was a little impulsive when he spoke. Others may be right, but this one is definitely wrong!"
"Officials from the Ministry of Works don't know how to pray for rain! Should this matter be brought to the attention of the Ministry of Etiquette?"
"Bah! How come everything is blamed on our Etiquette Department?
We in the Ministry of Etiquette are responsible for opening altars to offer sacrifices, but that doesn’t mean we can pray for rain!”
"You think the officials in our Ministry of Etiquette are all mages!"
…
After Gao Tianyun's words fell, there was quite a stir among the officials. Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice: "Quiet! This is the court, not a place for you to make noise!"
Then, he looked at Lin Fan and felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous, so he said: "The prince said that with good intentions. In order for the people of the world to no longer suffer from drought, if any of you continue to talk nonsense, I will pull him out and chop him down!"
ah!
Lin Fan stretched his waist out of boredom, twisted his body, yawned, and said in a deep voice: "Are all of you officials' heads made of elm wood?
You don’t even know how to work around things!”
"The Ministry of Works is in charge of various fortifications. Among them, you should know the role of water conservancy projects better than anyone else, right?"
Gao Tianyun said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the role of water conservancy projects is to open up rivers and help people divert canals to irrigate farmland. However, these also have a prerequisite, that is, there must be water in the rivers!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have forgotten that once a drought occurs in a certain area, it means that the water in the river will dry up. No matter how many river channels our officials from the Ministry of Industry dig, what is the use?"
"That's right! There is no water here. Even if the people from the Ministry of Industry dig three feet into the ground, it will be useless!"
Officials from various ministries discussed carefully.
Lin Fan sneered and said, "What do you mean, once a drought occurs, all the mountains and rivers will dry up?
Is there no water in the Yangtze River and Yellow River?"
this……
Gao Tianyun was stunned. Even if there was a severe drought, the water in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River would not dry up. However, droughts rarely occurred around these two places. Even if they did, the Ministry of Industry could open up river channels and divert them.
