Chapter 105: Corruption and High Salaries

"The third point, there is a labor shortage in many places, the first half of the year is fine, at that time the people can not do every household has a job, but only in the past six months, everything has changed greatly, especially after the completion and opening of Shengtang Port and Honglu International Airport, a large number of tourists come to play, some across the enterprise, especially luxury goods, hotels, convenience stores, restaurants, etc。 ”

Zhang Bao also mentioned this question to Li Quan, and now the production of Health No. 1 is still in short supply, and what is lacking is not raw materials and production lines, but qualified workers, and he is also considering whether to relax the immigration standards a little.

"Fourth, this year, some officials, especially some officials in Honglu County, were corrupted by the glamorous world, and corruption and bribery were serious. ”

When Zhang Xian said the first three articles, the ministers below also nodded frequently, and seemed to agree with Zhang Xian's statement, but when Zhang Xian finished saying the fourth article, some ministers were indignant, some had nothing to do with themselves, and some lowered their heads and didn't know whether they were afraid or ashamed, or thinking about other things.

Li Quan saw the situation below clearly, but he didn't say anything, still expressionless.

Li Quan didn't blame Zhang Xian: "What is the crime of the elder of the pavilion, you didn't hide it from me, and if you say it at this court meeting, you are not only innocent, but also meritorious." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion on the old minister. Zhang Xian was very moved.

Li Quan continued: "Since we are talking about corruption, let's talk about corruption, the problem of corruption, not only in China, but also in any country in the world, in which era for thousands of years, this is a long-standing problem, people's hearts are unpredictable, desires are difficult to fill, and there is no solution. ”

When Li Quan said that there was no solution to the problem of corruption, many people looked at him in surprise, and then quickly lowered their heads, and there were even many people who had a fluke mentality.

Li Quan suddenly raised his voice when he said this: "If there is no solution, we don't care, indulge it, no, although it is inevitable, but we can make certain rules to reduce this kind of thing, what suggestions do you have for this?"

Feng Wu, the general of the town army, was the first to jump out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, what is there to say about this, the minister thinks that the previous law is too lenient for these people, and the minister thinks that as long as he is corrupt, it will be clicked, and it will save trouble and deter other silverfish." ”

I don't know how much this hated the corrupt, and he killed people at every turn, you must know that there are not many people killed by the New Tang Dynasty in a year, and since he became king, a total of four people have been executed, three of them are treason, and one is a madman who kills the whole family in a frenzy.

"General Feng can't talk nonsense. Feng Ping reminded in a low voice that although he was about the same age as Feng Wu, he was indeed Feng Wu's uncle, and his words still had a certain weight.

Feng Ping's official position was not high before, and I don't know what the situation was, but now he is a hot celebrity in the officialdom, and he is very much used by Li Quan, so he has become a second assistant at such a young age, one level older than Feng Wu, plus he is an elder.

The new Tang Dynasty is young and orderly, and Feng Wu can only be silent.

Liu Ming came out to relieve the siege and said: "General Feng's words are not rough, but the punishment is too harsh, and some bribes are not easy to define, so a red line can be set, as long as the bribes are accepted to a certain amount, they can be sentenced to death, and they can even sit together." ”

"The general's words have also passed, how can the innocent be implicated, and I, Xintang, have always ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, how can I kill people at every turn. "There are people who oppose it.

Some of them followed suit.

Liu Ming raised his voice and said: "Why can't you kill, why can't you implicate, one person takes bribes, the whole family benefits, of course, their family can kill their relatives and come out to report, so that they can exempt their family from the crime, otherwise it is aiding and abetting." ”

“...........”

Although there are many arguments below, Liu Ming no longer talks back, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to these tricks, because he knows that these people can say that the dead can be alive and the iron tree can blow the flowers into flowers, if it weren't for the siege of Fengwu, he wouldn't say this in public, after all, he just needs to lead the army.

"Okay, I'm asking you to make suggestions, why are you still arguing in the main hall, and what kind of system is it becoming. Li Quan was not angry and arrogant.

The king spoke, and of course the following could not help but give face, and they all listened.

Feng Ping said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can learn from the high salary and honesty of the outside world, our Xintang Dynasty is now relatively financially rich, and can increase the income of officials, and at the same time, as long as the official does not violate the law and discipline during his tenure, after retirement, he can be given a pension of sufficient pension according to the official position and achievements of the past years when he leaves office, so that there are still people who dare to know the law and break the law, and the minister feels that the general's words are not unreasonable, and he can be executed, because it is not a pity for this kind of person to die." Some ministers also think that the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong can also learn from it. ”

Tian Jing stood up and echoed: "The minister agrees with Feng Shangshu's suggestion. ”

Li Quan nodded, and he also agreed with this in his heart, he himself has zero tolerance for corruption.

Turning his head to Zhang Xian, he asked, "What about the opinion of the elder of the pavilion?"

Zhang Xian couldn't see that Li Quan was satisfied with this opinion in his heart, and he also felt that it was feasible, so he said: "The old minister also agrees." ”

Li Quan looked around and asked the other ministers below, "What about you?"

"The ministers agreed. "They are all people who have been officials for so many years, which one is not an old fritter, and at this time I can't see which way the wind is blowing, so it's a waste of time.

Li Quan was overjoyed, and sure enough, one person counted the short, and everyone counted the long: "Okay, since all Aiqing agree with this suggestion, then I have decided to establish the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and this department will be under my direct control like bad people in the future, and no one shall interfere with its operation." As for the standard of high salaries and pensions, the Ministry of Finance will discuss and formulate them, and tell me that we must ensure that the whole family of officials can get a superior standard of living and avoid their worries. As for the punishment, I also agree, and the specific standards are set by the Criminal Department. ”

As for the candidate for the director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Li Quan does not have a good candidate for the time being, and he needs to find an opportunity to choose on his own, and he cannot use people recommended by other officials.

It is best to hire an experienced and upright person from the outside world, and it must be ensured that this person has no roots in NTVO and no friends.
