Chapter 59: Capital and the Officials
"Call Li Chuan back to me."
Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, and even Wang Dehai was stunned for a moment before running out to call someone.
Li Chuan didn't go far, and he couldn't go far with a few words.
When I was called back, I was still confused.
glanced at Fang Xuanling, but before he could understand the meaning of this look, Li Shimin spoke, "What do you think about corrupt officials and corrupt officials?" ”
"Kill." Li Chuan replied stunned: "Take the official and remove from office, and then throw him in prison." ”
Or else? What's the matter with letting them go?
"Can corruption be avoided?" Li Shimin then asked.
Li Chuan shook his head, remembering the fallen corrupt officials he would see on the news from time to time, "It can't be avoided." ”
"Corruption after a thousand years?" Fang Xuanling asked: "You haven't thought of any way to put an end to this phenomenon?" ”
"Marx said: As long as capital has 10 percent profit, it will be used everywhere, as long as there is 20 percent profit, it will become active, as long as there is 50 percent profit, it will cause positive risk-taking, if there is 100 percent profit, people will not hesitate to take the risk of the law, and with 300 percent profit, people will be willing to commit crimes, and even hang their heads." Li Chuan memorized this passage very well, "Corruption and bribery are equivalent to buying and selling without capital, and what comes from greed is profit, for those officials, they only have money in their eyes, and if they are greedy, they may not be found above, but they can live a good life, and if they are discovered, it will be a dead end, anyway, he has enjoyed it." ”
"Therefore, it is impossible to put an end to corruption and bribery, and we can only find a way to strictly investigate and find one by one." Li Chuan didn't hate those corrupt criminals, but he also felt that they all deserved to die.
This is also the increasingly humane sentencing in Huaguo, so that those corrupt officials who have embezzled hundreds of millions or billions of dollars can still enjoy a good life in prison, why do prisons not need money? That's all the taxpayer's money, why should the corrupt officials be greedy for the taxpayer's money, and let the taxpayers continue to support them?
If you want him to see it, it's better to slaughter it, and it can also reduce the burden on society.
Li Shimin frowned, corruption and bribery are indeed a big problem, the people are already poor, they also raise taxes and taxes privately, thinking of various ways to make money from the people, in the long run, won't his Datang be hollowed out? !
"How did you find out after a thousand years?" Fang Xuanling asked again, he is currently revising the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the national code of the dynasty, and the rectification of the rule of officials has also been put on the agenda, if there is a reference, wouldn't it be possible to take many detours? !
"We have discipline inspection and supervision departments, which are specifically aimed at officials, whether they are corrupt, whether they have treason and betrayal of the country, whether they are competent for their own work, whether there is dereliction of duty, and so on, are in their charge, and they are directly responsible to the central authorities and have great power." Li Chuan racked his brains and recalled that he usually paid little attention to this aspect, but he could probably say it, but no matter how specific it was, he didn't know.
"Dereliction of duty refers to ......" Fang Xuanling asked directly if he didn't understand.
"Dereliction of duty, abuse of power, favoritism, or, because of lack of capacity, causing huge losses to the country and the people." Li Chuan squeezed the adjective out with his fingers, but fortunately, he squeezed it out, "Anyway, it's an incompetent, selfish, and unqualified official." ”163
Fang Xuanling felt that he was struggling to listen, probably meaning, he could touch a little edge, but he didn't digest it thoroughly.
"Explain in detail." Li Shimin glanced at Fang Xuanling and gave orders from above.
"For example, a certain prefect, he has a county order vacant under his hand, and then he tries to build a relationship, and arranges his brother-in-law to the position of the county order, or a place managed by the county order is affected by a disaster, but he conceals it and does not report it, and closes the city gate, and allows the victims to die, or there are bandits in a certain place, but the local government seems to not see it, and allows the people to be plundered, these are all dereliction of duty, serious violations of the law, such officials are unqualified." Speaking of this, Li Chuan pondered.
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were also pondering, but they didn't think he was so rude.
"Actually, I think there is another kind of official, who is also unqualified." Li Chuan pondered and said: "They don't accept bribes, and they don't embezzle, or in other words, even if the amount of corruption and bribery is very small, generally this kind of officials are relatively bold, let them handle government affairs, their ability is mediocre, not brilliant, and they don't make many mistakes, let him judge the case, maybe there will be unjust cases, but it is definitely not the kind that deliberately wrongs people, let him lead the local people to make a fortune, he can't do it at all, and he basically has no merit and no fault during his term of office." "Your Majesty, Lord Fang, have you ever seen such an official?"
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, there are really them, and there are not a few.
There are evaluations of the officials every year, and some of them are superior, but most of them are average, and there are few inferior ones.
"Some of such officials are incompetent, incompetent, he can't do anything he wants, people like this don't do anything but do less harm to the people, and some officials are just messing around, maybe they have the ability, maybe they don't have the ability, in short, they are just a day official, eat a day's salary, just like a day monk hit the clock for a day, whether this monk has a heart to chant the scriptures, whether he respects the Buddha in his heart, no one knows." Li Chuan spread his hands and said: "I think such officials are not qualified, in fact, they should all be replaced, and capable and responsible officials should be put in place." ”
Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, it makes sense, officials don't do things in a mess, so isn't his food and salary given in vain?
"You can't dismiss all the officials who are in the middle of the evaluation." Fang Xuanling shook his head slightly, "It's difficult, it's difficult." ”
It is not so easy to change officials, especially in this kind of situation where the family controls the court.
"Well, it's not that difficult, is it?" Li Chuan said hesitantly, he didn't think it was difficult.
"Tell me about it." Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and waited to listen with great interest.
"Exams." Li Chuan hated this word, so he decided to let the literati of the Tang Dynasty also taste what it means to 'test you'!
"For example, the county order will give them a set of questions, and they will be tested: N ways to increase grain production. How to deal with various disasters. The trend of population growth in the prefecture. What are the special products of the county under their jurisdiction, how to use these special products to increase the income of the people, etc., and other livelihood issues. He didn't believe that such a test paper would test the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, they couldn't answer this.
Fang Xuanling's back suddenly cooled, and he felt that the official's nightmare was coming.
Sure enough, the next moment, Li Shimin said: "Okay, very good, then Aiqing will work hard and go back and produce a few more test papers." ”
Li Chuan: "......" He is asking for a job for himself again?!
