Chapter 2143 The Supervision System of the Great Han
"I am here this time for internal supervision of the inner government." Li Xingchen got straight to the point.
Chen Yu and Du Qi both nodded.
It is reasonable for His Majesty to strengthen the supervision of the inner government. Although His Majesty has never mentioned this matter before, and it is difficult for everyone to directly implement some ideas and ideas on paper, it does not matter whether it is Chen Yu or Du Qi
, we all know that sooner or later such a day will come.
His Majesty obviously does not really regard the Inner Palace as his forbidden wife or as a house-playing game in the harem. If this were the case, the Inner Palace would not be as big as it is today. Obviously in His Majesty's heart, the Inner Palace is also important to the imperial court.
Otherwise, there is no need to establish a very complete regulatory system, because it cannot involve too much money and power transactions, and it is not strenuous enough to send people to investigate.
“The management systems and development ideas of the Inner and Outer Courts are quite different. The Outer Court is relatively fixed and seeks development in stability, while the Inner Court focuses on innovation and explores various fields that the Outer Court is temporarily unable to touch.
"Li Xingchen then said, "So the previous methods and ideas of Yushitai may be difficult to apply to the inner government."
Chen Yu nodded: "Your Majesty was the first to create the inner palace and dared to be the first in the world. I admire him. Without the inner palace, many things may not be so convenient today."
"Everyone present is not an outsider, so there is no need to flatter me." Lechang couldn't help but smile at this time.
Chen Yu and Du Qi also looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the study became much more relaxed.
His Majesty came with the Queen and the Concubine Xian. The lineup was very strong. The Queen was the direct manager of the inner palace, while the Concubine Xian was in charge of the finances of the inner palace. This made Chen Yu and Du Qi dare not speak easily or point fingers.
After all, they didn't know what the Queen's and Xian's concubines' attitudes were regarding the establishment of a supervisory system in the inner government.
In any case, the inner palace was built on the basis of the harem, and it was also the hard work of the harem concubines. Yushitai rashly came up with many plans that may directly affect the interests of the harem, so the queen and the virtuous concubine
I'm afraid I will try my best to put on small shoes for them in the future.
Now that the queen spoke directly, it naturally showed that she was open-minded and willing to be taught, which made Chen Yu and Du Qi dare to speak.
Needless to say, the most basic issue of official corruption and bribery is the same everywhere you go. If the books cannot be reconciled and the money is siphoned off, you have no room for negotiation.
But the problems existing in the inner government go far beyond that. In fact, just now Li Xingchen has clearly pointed out why it is difficult for the inner government to supervise.
It is also easy to understand. In the final analysis, it is because the inner government is almost always working in areas where the predecessors have almost no concept, such as hospitals, academies, etc. Although the predecessors also had similar institutions, some lecture halls, pharmacies
Ah, etc., obviously cannot play a completely similar role to current academies, hospitals and other institutions.
Therefore, how these institutions should develop, including how to arrange the supervision of funds and the mobilization of talents, etc., are really trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. It requires a little bit of adjustment and experimentation. During this period, it is natural to take many detours or simply go directly.
causing waste.
During statistical verification, detailed identification is required to determine whether these should be considered human errors or losses that should have occurred.
At the same time, because many of the things the inner government wants to do may not conform to the traditional morals and etiquette of society, the inner government can only be secretive and first obtain funds and resources through some private channels.
For example, this was the case with the establishment of women's colleges in the past. Although women's colleges are now considered a relatively successful move by the government, in fact at the beginning, in order to avoid being too public and attracting criticism, the money needed to open women's colleges was basically all.
It was raised privately from various wealthy businessmen, officials, etc. Some were loans, some were donations, and they were all different. Over time, it naturally turned into a bad debt, and there were too many opportunities to take advantage of it.
Not to mention that during this Northern Expedition, most of the donations of money and materials from all walks of life were sent to the front line through internal government channels. There is often only a rough idea of how many people donated, where they donated, and where they were used.
Recording, down to the details, I'm sorry, in the midst of the war, the inner government doesn't have that many manpower to record things.
If you can check these things in the past, you can check them. If you can't find them, you can't do anything. During the war, the waste of money and the loss of materials are sometimes unavoidable.
In fact, Li Xingchen's focus is not entirely on sorting out and searching for old bills, but on the future of the Inner Palace. The positioning of the Inner Palace has become increasingly clear. The outer chamber is responsible for the basics of the court, while the inner chamber will
Covering all aspects of society, this means that the inner government may do more so-called "deviant" things in the future, but the current inner government cannot be full of holes like before. At the same time, the management of many departments of the inner government
It is gradually becoming normalized, so someone needs to supervise them.
Chen Yu said directly: "When the Yushitai inspects hundreds of officials, they usually start from two places. One is the personal salary. Each person's account book is a breakthrough first, and there are also the houses where they live, etc. Those with low salaries
It is naturally impossible for an official to live in a high-rise compound. Another factor is naturally his personal connections. Forming cliques for personal gain is often more terrifying than corruption and accepting bribes. Corruption and bribery often involve small private matters, but forming cliques for personal gain is already outside the court.
Forming a self-contained group, everything it does is no longer to serve the big man, but to serve its small group to obtain more power and interests. Once it becomes strong, it will inevitably become a hidden danger."
Du Qi then added: "Based on our past experience, those who intend to commit corruption and bribery are often local and state officials. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, so there is naturally room for maneuver. Therefore, if more people are sent to conduct inspections, we can take action."
It has a certain deterrent effect. Those who want to form cliques for personal gain are often officials from various ministries in Beijing.
Local officials are transferred back and forth, and there is no opportunity to form cliques for personal gain. However, officials in Beijing are different, especially some officials with little power, who want to stick together for warmth. Maybe they are just unintentional, but what they do can be regarded as forming cliques for personal gain.
Over time, after these people take office one after another, they are likely to continue to join forces and directly form a group that confronts other officials of the imperial court. This is something we need to be wary of.
This matter has been mentioned in the revision of the laws of the Han Dynasty, and we, Yushitai, have been asked to work together to come up with a plan, which will be added to the law in subsequent revisions as a reference and even a key basis for judging whether cliques are formed for personal gain or not.
.And the inner government obviously has such problems that need to be solved urgently. I think your Majesty might as well start from here."
