Chapter 173 There are so many twists and turns!
Having too many sons has the disadvantages of having too many sons, and having too few sons has the advantages of having too many sons.
But throughout history, as long as a father can control it, the more sons the better.Even if there are two rebels later, fierce men like Erfeng and Zhu Di, it is their own fault. Anyway, in the end, the meat will rot in their own pot.
But Cen Mingche is still young, and Xiaoyu seems to be a smart kid now. As long as he doesn't grow crooked, he is worthy of trust.
The days are long.
What matters now is the water conservancy of the Yellow River.
Yes, after many years, the Yellow River collapsed again.
Fortunately, this time it was just flooding, not diversion, and it was easier to recover.
Cen Mingche immediately ordered the dispatch of flood control officials to the lower reaches of the Yellow River to control floods and provide relief to the victims.
Sure enough, if the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and if the country is big, any kind of disaster can come, and natural disasters don’t make sense to you.
Today there is a collapse, there will be a breakup there tomorrow, there will be drought there, and I don’t know where there will be waterlogging the day after tomorrow.
This is a natural disaster, as well as a man-made disaster!
Corrupt officials are killing people incessantly. After killing one group, another group will follow.
There have been two extremes in dealing with corrupt officials in history.
One is the Song Dynasty, which adopted the method of raising integrity with high salary, and also had a special subsidy called the Silver for Maintaining Integrity.
One is the Ming Dynasty, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who adopted a high-pressure control method. If you are greedy, you will be killed. Naturally, later people will continue to make up for it - peeling daylilies to show to the public.
Straw fever is meant to scare birds, but it can even scare people to death.
But the results of both methods are not good.
Because in the final analysis, whether officials are greedy or not is actually based on the central government's ability to control local governments and the emperor's ability to control his ministers.
If this capability is in place and the system is used to supplement it, then corruption can be controlled to a very small level.
But if the emperor's power is decentralized and the court becomes a complex of multiple powers, then wherever there are people, there will be disputes and gaps, which will give opportunities to these moths.
And sometimes, it’s not something you can do if you want to be an upright official.
There is a line that says it well:
"If you don't take it, how can I get it? If I don't take it, how can Commissioner Geng get it? If Commissioner Geng doesn't take it, how can you and I make progress?"
"You must understand this relationship and join in it quickly. From township to county, from county to province, from province to province... it is like a network."
It can be seen that this history, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, is the same.
This predicament is so suffocating.
Cen Mingche's mentality is very good. He doesn't want to solve problems that cannot be solved by the new China in the future. As long as the work process and the individual's role in some affairs are weakened, the situation can be improved. many.
Otherwise, why would the feudal dynasty have pocket crimes?
It is used to catch those who have taken advantage of the system's loopholes.
Corruption, rebellion, malfeasance, there are three big hats on top of each other, there is always one that suits you.
The evidence was conclusive and the property inspection just made up for the shortfall.
When he needs to use you, he can just get up again. He still has to express his gratitude to God for his great grace.
This is the so-called imperial mind technique.
No one will tell you these things, not even the prince.
After all, the ministers who asked the prince to study did not want the future emperor to learn these things. They wanted the future emperor to be easy to manipulate.
In other words, the ministers were competing with the emperor for power.
And what about the emperor?He will not tell his sons this clearly, but let them realize it. How much they can realize is up to them.
This thing is the dragon-slaying skill that governs the balance between kings and ministers in the world.
The good thing about Cen Mingche is that he comes from later generations.
In the era when he lived, these "dragon-slaying skills" from the feudal period were clearly listed in books, and anyone could read them, with explanations and cases.
Therefore, from the moment he entered the game, it was much easier than others.
It can be said that God has rewarded me with food.
But there is another problem. Given the current inconvenient transportation situation, the emperor needs to understand the underlying situation and can only look at the official reports.
But excluding those low-level officials, there are more than 5000 civil and military officials in Daqian. Together with Beiweige, who is the emperor's confidant, there are basically more than [-] people who can directly give advice to the emperor.
Cen Mingche had requirements for the quantity and quality of the folding materials. If the requirements were not met, he would personally write the folding lines and submit progress reports to local officials.
At least two reports are issued a month to report on the local situation. The central government sends people out from time to time to conduct random inspections.
The current pattern of corruption in various places is just like Wuzhuangtou delivering products to the Jia family. They always calculate the total at the end of the year, and then make false reports after a few years. When problems arise, they estimate the amount and deduct part of it before giving it to the master.
But with Cen Mingche's move, these people underground were in bad luck.
Still want to fool around like before?Humph, no way!
There are two discounts a month. If there is a natural or man-made disaster, it must be reported immediately. There is no need to fool around!
Moreover, officials from nearby places supervise each other. If there is a problem anywhere, they will fix it from top to bottom!
It should be noted that the so-called "officials protect each other" means that when the court investigates and handles the case, the blame for the superior officer is passed to the lower officer.This subordinate official has been demoted. In the future, the superior official will look for opportunities to resurrect this subordinate official, and the two sides will pull each other.
But the continuous sitting system puts an end to this pull.
As long as there is a problem, whether it is the responsibility of the superior or the subordinate, the relevant responsible persons will handle it all in one line!
So neat!
For a time, the government was completely clean.
But Cen Mingche was the only one who paid the price.
——The price is that this table of endless discounts will be approved.
"You bastard, what the hell are you writing! One sentence, 'I'm fine, and my rule is fine, how are you, Emperor?', that's a hundred thousand words worth!!!!"
Cen Mingche angrily threw a piece of paper to the ground.
"Tell them from now on, don't give me nonsense quotes from scriptures! Speak more truthfully and less of this kind of fluff!"
"You have managed it very well. What's good about it? How are the crops in the fields growing now? Is it drought or flood? Are there insect pests? How to deal with it?"
"How are the merchants? How about the business tax? What kind of things do business travelers often trade? Is there anything strange?"
"I didn't say a word about what I wanted to see. The whole article was boastful and flattering, and it was just words!"
Cen Mingche pointed to the Hanlin waiting to be called aside.
"Here, I'll give you the ink pen. You can write for me!"
"Yes, I obey the order."
"Just write: It's full of fluff and nothing real. If you, as an official, keep doing this, I might as well replace you with a parrot. Not only can I not point fingers, but I can say more auspicious words than you!"
The Hanlin wanted to laugh when he was called, but he didn't dare to laugh. He respectfully dipped his pen in cinnabar and wrote the approval as instructed.
After sealing it, the fold will be returned to the official. I wonder how that person felt after reading it.
At that time, Qin Shihuang used bamboo slips to review the official documents. Because there was so much to read, his hands were too tired to hold it, so he hung his arms around his neck with a silk ribbon to read.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also the famous Liver Emperor. He was overwhelmed by the amount of news he read every day, and worked overtime until early in the morning almost every day.
Not only did Lao Zhu have a comrade certificate, he also brought a subordinate certificate, and he was given three days of leave a year!
I guess it means "I, Lao Zhu, won't even take a break, so you won't even have a chance to take a break either!"
Cen Mingche felt that he also had to learn from the two seniors.
As the emperor, he takes the lead, and everyone below should be rolled up by him!
