Zhu Han pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "The key to enforcement lies in the clear distinction between rewards and punishments. Those officials who are honest and dedicated to the public affairs and have outstanding political achievements should be given generous rewards to encourage them; while those who are corrupt, pervert the law and neglect their duties,
We must punish them severely to serve as a warning to others. At the same time, we must strengthen supervision to ensure that every government order is implemented."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Han Wang is far-sighted, and Biao'er has learned a lesson. However, the relationship between North Korea and China is complicated. How to ensure that during the reform process, corruption can be eliminated without shaking the foundation of the country?"
Zhu Han smiled slightly and looked deeply: "What Your Highness said is absolutely true. Reform needs to be carried out cautiously and step by step. We can start from a small start and gradually expand the scope of reform. At the same time, strengthen contact with the honest and upright people in the DPRK and China to win their support.
Support and jointly fight against the forces of corruption. In addition, we need to listen to public opinion extensively to ensure that reform measures are in line with the interests of the people, so as to win the hearts and minds of the people."
Zhu Biao nodded, and his heart suddenly became enlightened: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true, and Biao'er will definitely keep it in mind. However, the reform still needs the father's approval before it can be implemented. I wonder if Uncle Han has a good plan to convince his father.
?”
Zhu Han smiled slightly, and his eyes revealed the light of wisdom: "The key to convincing Your Majesty is to show the determination and effectiveness of reform. Your Highness can first formulate a detailed reform plan and select some areas for pilot testing. After achieving significant results, then
Report to your father. At the same time, strengthen communication with important ministers in the DPRK, win their support, and jointly make recommendations to His Majesty."
When Zhu Biao heard this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Han Wang's plan is very clever, and Biao'er immediately started to prepare. However, during the reform process, it is inevitable that various resistances and difficulties will be encountered. Does Uncle Han have any strategies to deal with it?"
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The key to dealing with resistance and difficulties is to unite as one and face them together. Your Highness can form an alliance with the honest and upright people in the DPRK and China to jointly fight against the corrupt forces. At the same time, strengthen intelligence collection and analysis.
, grasp the dynamics between North Korea and China in a timely manner, and predict and prevent possible crises. In addition, we need to remain calm and firm, and not let temporary setbacks shake our determination to reform."
Zhu Biao nodded, full of admiration and gratitude for Zhu Han in his heart: "What Uncle Han Wang taught, Biao'er must remember in his heart. With Uncle Han Wang helping him, Biao'er's confidence has doubled."
The two continued to walk side by side, the night wind blowing on their faces, bringing a bit of coolness. Zhu Han looked into the distance, his heart full of longing and expectations for the future: "Biao'er, although the road to reform is long and difficult, as long as we work together, we will be able to
Can usher in a new chapter of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao clenched his fists and looked firmly: "Uncle Han, don't worry, Biao'er will live up to his trust and serve the Ming Dynasty till his death."
After the two returned to their respective residences, they immediately threw themselves into the intense preparations for the reform. Zhu Han convened his close aides in the palace to discuss the reform plan and pilot plan in detail; while Zhu Biao had frequent contacts with important ministers in the palace.
, and strive for their support and help.
Zhu Han was in the study room of the palace, with candlelight flickering, reflecting his focused face. He carefully reviewed the detailed plan on the reform pilot in his hand, making marks on the paper from time to time. At this time, an attendant hurried in and whispered
Report: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince would like to see you."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Han put down the pen in his hand, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Please come in quickly, Your Highness."
Soon, Zhu Biao walked into the study with a worried look on his face. When he saw Zhu Han, he quickly saluted: "Uncle Han, Biao'er has something urgent to discuss."
Zhu Han quickly stood up to greet him, helped Zhu Biao up and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite. If there is something urgent, it doesn't matter."
Zhu Biao sat down at the table and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Hanwang, regarding the reform, I have recently discussed with several important ministers in the court. Although they agreed, they were worried that the reform would touch too many vested interests.
, causing turmoil.”
Zhu Han smiled slightly, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes: "Your Highness is very worried. The road to reform is already full of thorns. But because of this, we need to act more cautiously and take every step step by step."
Zhu Biao nodded, with a trace of determination between his brows: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true, and Biao'er also knows that reform is inevitable. But, how can we not only promote reform, but also ensure the stability of the court?"
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "Your Highness, we can start with those departments where corruption is the most serious and public resentment is boiling, as pilot projects for reform. By severely punishing corruption, we can establish determination for reform and at the same time demonstrate the effectiveness of reform.
To win the hearts and minds of the people and the support of the courtiers.”
When Zhu Biao heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Uncle Han, I think Biao'er has learned a lesson. But, where should we start?"
Zhu Han smiled slightly, took out a map from the case, spread it on the table, and tapped it with his fingers: "Your Highness, please see, this is the Ministry of Revenue, which is the foundation of the country's finances and is also an area hardest hit by corruption. We
We might as well use this as a breakthrough to thoroughly check the accounts, severely punish corrupt officials, and at the same time implement a new financial management system to ensure that every expenditure is transparent and traceable."
Zhu Biao looked at the map carefully and nodded in agreement: "Uncle Han Wang's plan is very clever. The Ministry of Household Affairs is the key to reform. However, this matter requires the approval of the father before it can be implemented."
Zhu Han smiled slightly, with confidence shining in his eyes: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already made plans for this matter. Tomorrow morning, I will report to Your Majesty the pilot reform and elaborate on its necessity and feasibility. Your Highness can assist you.
, let’s work together to convince His Majesty.”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he felt relieved: "Uncle Han Wang has thought carefully, and Biao'er will definitely cooperate with us."
Early the next morning, Zhu Han and Zhu Biao went to the morning court together. In the court hall, hundreds of officials stood solemnly, and Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair, majestic and solemn.
Zhu Han stepped forward steadily, and after performing the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand slightly, signaling Zhu Han to continue.
Zhu Han bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has recently discussed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and believes that the growing trend of corruption in the DPRK has seriously damaged the country, and reform must be started immediately. Wei Chen suggested that the Ministry of Household Affairs be used as a pilot to implement a
A series of reform measures to severely punish corruption and establish a clean and honest culture."

Detailed plan?”
Zhu Han quickly took out a roll of memorials from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is a reform pilot plan jointly formulated by the ministers and His Royal Highness. Your Majesty, please read it."
Zhu Yuanzhang took the memorial, slowly unfolded it, and began to read it carefully. The atmosphere in the court hall was solemn and tense, and all the officials waited with bated breath.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial, with a flash of approval in his eyes: "Brother Han, Biao'er, this plan is very much to my liking. I have decided to immediately approve the pilot reform plan, starting with the Ministry of Household Affairs, to comprehensively rectify the imperial system and revive the administration of officials.
"
When Zhu Han and Zhu Biao heard this, they were overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and thanked them: "Your Majesty is wise, and I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's high expectations."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, his eyes revealing firmness and expectation: "You two must cooperate sincerely to ensure the smooth progress of the reform. At the same time, supervision must be strengthened to ensure that every reform measure is implemented."
After Zhu Han and Zhu Biao received the order to express their gratitude, their hearts were full of excitement and determination. After retreating from the court, the two walked out of the hall side by side, with firm and powerful steps.
"Uncle Hanwang, this reform pilot can successfully obtain the approval of the father and the emperor, all thanks to your careful planning and firm determination." Zhu Biao said sincerely, with admiration and gratitude shining in his eyes.
Zhu Han smiled slightly and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder: "Your Highness is serious. This is the joint contribution of you and my uncle and nephew. Next, we need to go all out to ensure that the reform pilot goes smoothly and lives up to His Majesty's high expectations."
The two walked through the palace corridors as they talked, and returned to Zhu Han's palace. Inside the palace, the staff had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the two returning, they all stepped forward to salute. Zhu Han waved his hand to signal everyone to excuse themselves, and then summoned his close staff.
Enter the study room to discuss the specific matters of the reform pilot.
In the study, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the serious and focused faces. Zhu Han stood in front of the desk, holding the newly approved reform pilot plan in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, your Majesty has given us permission.
The reform pilot plan starts with the Ministry of Household Affairs and comprehensively rectifies the imperial court. This reform is related to the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no room for failure."
An older staff member stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do our best to assist Your Highness in completing this important reform task."
Zhu Han nodded, glanced at everyone, and said in a firm and powerful tone: "Okay, next, I will assign specific tasks. Mr. Zhang, you are responsible for supervising the accounting work of the accounts department, and you must ensure that every expenditure is clear and traceable.
No corruption can escape your eyes."
Mr. Zhang bowed and obeyed the order: "I obey, Your Highness. I will do my best to fulfill my mission."
Zhu Han turned to another staff member: "Mr. Li, you are responsible for the formulation and promotion of the new financial management system to ensure that the new system can effectively curb corruption and promote the smooth progress of the work of the Household Department."
Mr. Li also bowed and accepted the order: "I will do my best to live up to His Highness's great trust."
After assigning the tasks, Zhu Han looked around at everyone and said earnestly: "In this reform, we will not only severely punish corruption, but also establish a long-term mechanism to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will last forever. I hope you will work together to overcome the difficulties."
.”
Everyone agreed in unison, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became more solemn and united. Seeing this, Zhu Han felt a little at ease, knowing that with the help of these loyal and capable staff, the reform pilot would be able to proceed smoothly.
At the same time, Zhu Biao was also making intensive preparations in the palace. As the crown prince, he not only had to assist Zhu Han in promoting the reform, but also stabilize the government and ensure that there would be no major turbulence during the reform process. So he personally summoned several people
As an important minister in the court, discuss how to support the reform pilot and strive for the understanding and support of more courtiers.
In the imperial study room, Zhu Biao sat behind the desk with a solemn and firm expression. Several important ministers came forward one after another to express their views and concerns about the reform pilot. Zhu Biao listened patiently and nodded from time to time. After everyone had finished speaking, he slowly
Opening:
"It is true what you sirs have said. The road to reform is indeed full of thorns and challenges. But because of this, we need to work together to benefit the Ming Dynasty. My father has given permission to use the Ministry of Household Affairs as a pilot reform. This is not only
It is our opportunity, but also our responsibility.”
An old minister took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "What Your Highness said is absolutely true, but the reform will inevitably touch those with vested interests and may cause turmoil in the DPRK. Does Your Highness have any good plans to deal with it?"
Zhu Biao smiled slightly, with the light of wisdom shining in his eyes: "Don't worry, sir, I have a plan. First, we will strengthen publicity to let the courtiers and people understand the necessity and urgency of reform; secondly, I will personally supervise
The implementation process of the reform pilot ensures that every measure can be implemented; finally, I will severely punish those who obstruct the reform, take bribes and pervert the law, and will never tolerate them!"
After hearing the words, several important ministers nodded in agreement. As news of the reform gradually spread in the court, the actions of Zhu Han and Zhu Biao became more closely and efficiently.
Early one morning, Zhu Han convened the core staff in the study room of the palace to prepare to further refine the reform plan. In the study room, the atmosphere was solemn and focused. Everyone knew that they were about to embark on a road full of unknowns and challenges.
"Everyone, in this reform pilot, we must not only investigate corruption, but also establish a mechanism to prevent the breeding of corruption in the future." Zhu Han said in a deep voice, his eyes scanning everyone present, and his tone revealed an unquestionable
Firmly, "Our goal is to make the Ministry of Revenue become a breath of fresh air in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty and become a model for other yamen to follow."
A staff member stood up, cupped his hands and said, "What His Highness said is absolutely true, but how to ensure the effective implementation of the new system and prevent officials from acting in a shady manner is a problem we must face."
Zhu Han nodded slightly, with a flash of deep thought in his eyes: "That's true. I think that at the beginning of the implementation of the new system, a dedicated person should be responsible for supervision to ensure that every regulation is implemented. At the same time, a reporting mechanism should be set up to encourage officials and
People report corruption, and once verified, they will be severely punished."
Another staff member added: "Your Highness, we can also learn from the experience of the previous government and set up an independent audit agency to regularly verify the accounts of the Department of Accounts to ensure that the accounts are clear and transparent."
When Zhu Han heard this, a glimmer of approval flashed in his eyes: "This is a great plan. An independent audit agency can not only effectively prevent internal corruption, but also improve the work efficiency of the household department. Mr. Li will be fully responsible for this matter. Be sure to choose a loyal and reliable one."
people to ensure the fairness and independence of the audit work.”
Mr. Li bowed down to accept the order, with a firm light shining in his eyes: "I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust and will be able to establish an efficient and fair audit system." The discussion continued, with everyone expressing their opinions, from system design to personnel selection.
