Since the beginning of spring, the people of Lianghe have been surprised to find that the Xuanfu Division does not seem to have overhauled the army and conquered the Quartet as usual. Instead, it became quiet, and there was no movement in the army.

Although not long ago, the Loyal and Righteous Navy destroyed the Mizhou Navy of the Puppet Qi and firmly controlled the southern part of Shandong and the mouth of the Huai River coastal sea. But when it comes to it, it's not really a big battle.

The Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army has hoarded more than 30,000 troops in Hejian Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion on the Hebei border, and even Cangzhou, and tens of thousands of troops have also been piled up in Shiling Sanguan north of Taiyuan, but whether it is Hedong or Hebei, the defense line between the Loyal and Righteous Army and the Jin people is nearly 100 miles apart, and there is no substantive confrontation and fighting.

In the land of the two rivers, Gyeonggi Henan Province and Shaanxi Province, there was a brief period of peace, with all kinds of industries waiting to be developed, people shuttling through the fields, merchant ships rushing to the canals and rivers, and vehicles full of goods on the post roads endlessly. Since the Jurchens went south in the last years of Xuanhe, the original northern roads of the Great Song Dynasty have finally recovered a little bit of vitality.

The major generals of the Xuanfu Division and officials from all walks of life, including Wang Song himself, frequently appeared in the fields to inspect the growth of crops, probe the livelihood of the people, and see whether the various measures of the government were effectively implemented.

"The green seedlings are growing well, and Wang Xianggong appears in the field", seeing this report, Wang Song smiled slightly and shook his head. Nowadays, the headlines of newspapers are becoming more and more eye-catching.

For example, when introducing the suffering of Biansai, the headline in the newspaper was "The north wind is tight, the iron armor is cold, and the recruiter is lonely"; If there are soaring prices, it is "the sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and the prices are rising every day"; Of course, there are also reactions to the corruption of officials «taken from the people, used for themselves».

Most of the writers in the newspaper are literary masters, such as Huang Zong, Zhu Mengshuo, Guo Yong and others. These people are familiar with historical events and anecdotes, and in the time of official business, they write in writing, witty words, vivid and lively, which makes people laugh and laugh.

Wang Song naturally will not stop these, these are symbols of social civilization and progress. For him, opening up people's wisdom and broadening his horizons, every small progress excites him.

When he saw an article "Qing Jun's side, except for the eunuchs, Miao and Liu Chun entered the sea at night", Wang Song was subconsciously shocked in the heart of the earth. The vicissitudes of life, the times have changed, and the changes of Miao and Liu have inevitably occurred.

The change of Miao and Liu in history was a farce, but it was just a wave of soldiers who protested against the Song Dynasty and fled south. Miao, Liu and others just killed a few insignificant ministers and eunuchs, and nothing else, there was no positive significance.

Zhao Gou was forced to abdicate and then reinstated, and Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan, Wu Zhan and other backbones were killed. However, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others have risen to the top, and Lu Yihao and Zhu Shengfei have also stepped into the political hall.

The only regret is that Zhao Gou's three-year-old son died of fright.

Wang Song continued to watch. Sure enough, the process is basically the same as in the original history. It's just that at the end, he frowned.

The Song army of tens of thousands was picked up by a huge fleet of unknown ships and went north into the sea......

Wang Song looked at it carefully a few times, and said to the guard: "You go and call the commander Li of the water division, I have something to find him."

"No need to look for him!"

Wang Qing walked in, Wang Song waved his hand, and the guard retreated.

"Big brother, what, do you know what is going on?"

Wang Song understood a little in his heart. The eldest brother is in charge of Ji Yisi, and when such a big thing happens in Jiangnan, the eldest brother must have heard of it or participated in it.

"Erlang, there was news from the Jiangnan Intelligence Office that day, due to the urgency of time, I asked the sailors of Liuqiu to go directly to meet Miao Liu's people."

Wang Qing looked at the stunned Wang Song, and said with a straight face: "Big brother knows that you don't want to get involved with the imperial court, so you make your own decisions." Big brother is also thinking about you, if you want to blame it, blame big brother. ”

"Big brother, you're really the first to cut and then play!"

Wang Song shook his head and smiled bitterly, speechless for a while.

To be honest, if this matter is to be handled by him, he

I really can't make up my mind.

"When you married the princess, the eldest brother was unwilling. If you are still entangled with the imperial court, you will cold the hearts of the soldiers and lose the hearts of the people of the world!"

Wang Qing said bitterly: "Do you think Li Bao will obey me?" Do you think I can mobilize the Mariner? Do you think Li Bao can transfer the sailor at will? Anything that is beneficial to the loyal army and you, Zhang Heng and Li Bao will do it!"

Wang Song was shocked. The two main admirals of the Navy, Li Bao and Huang Feihu. I suppose both of them should be faithful to him, but in this matter they were all the first to be the first to the last, and surprisingly united.

Now the naval division has hundreds of ships, tens of thousands of people, enough to crisscross the sea, and the naval artillery diplomacy.

He didn't want to do anything to the Great Song court. Dong Xian occupied Jingzhao Mansion, and then the whole of Shaanxi; He had no time to take care of the Great Song Dynasty, so the navy received so many western troops from the north, which greatly weakened the strength of the imperial court.

One man, one country, most of the generals now regard him as the lord of the world. What he hesitated about, naturally someone cleaned up the aftermath for him.

I don't know, how many other things did these people do behind his back that he didn't know?

"Li Bao and Huang Feihu were demoted by half a level, their March salary was deducted, and Fang Xiong was promoted to the head of the Jiangnan Intelligence Department."

Wang Song smiled slightly, and asked softly, "Big brother, Miao, Liu, and others and their subordinates, where are they now?"

Wang Qing said: "All the sergeants and family members of Miao and Liu went to Liuqiu first, and now they are all in Haizhou, and they will go north one day. Miao, Liu and others have letters here, willing to be a field of sheweng, the gold and silver they carry are dedicated to the army, and the military power belongs to the Xuanfu Division. ”

Wang Song nodded and said, "Miao and Liu are also loyal and righteous people. Tell them that if they are willing to lead the army and fight on the battlefield, they can give them a proper position in the army. If you want to retreat bravely from the rapids, Gan Lao Quanlin, we are not reluctant. The soldiers and families under his command will naturally be properly settled. ”

Wang Qing left, and Wang Song couldn't help but shake his head secretly. The friction between the Loyal Army and the Great Song Dynasty has been highlighted.

"Li Gong, have all the corrupt officials who "take from the people and use them for the people" mentioned in the newspaper have been dealt with?"

Wang Song turned his head and asked suddenly.

In the first battle of Yaozhou, the loyal and righteous army lost 30,000 troops, and the Xuanfu Division received the casualty figures reported by each army, and ordered it to the local government according to the roster, and the local officials immediately went to the homes of the dead soldiers to offer condolences and send money and food for the bereavement.

The Department of Public Welfare and Rehabilitation stipulates that after verifying the casualty figures, the pension must be delivered to the family within one month. In this way, the ashes of the fighters have not been returned, the bereavement has been received, and the condolences have been delivered. This policy also won the hearts of the sergeants and the common people.

The originally good policy, when it was implemented, was violated by some local influences.

Some of the soldiers who died in battle had no immediate family members, and because of the huge amount of silver taels in pensions, local officials, together with their subordinates and relatives, set up fake rosters, filled their own pockets, and took advantage of the wealth, and everyone became rich.

After all, paper can't contain the fire, under the continuous reports of the people, and under the push of newspaper public opinion, Xuanfu Sima set up a supervision department, visited and investigated, and dug out a large group of rats.

"Returning to the minister, a total of 268 officials were involved, and the money involved was as much as 130,000 yuan. Zhou Hua, the governor of Longde Prefecture, Huang Liang, the governor of Zhaozhou, and Liu Zheng of Jiaocheng County, are all important criminals who are greedy for ink. How to deal with it, the Criminal Division is still waiting for the minister's instructions. ”

Following Li Ruoxu's words, Huang Zong was worried.

"Xianggong, since Taizu and Taizong, I have always been greedy for officials. During Taizu's 17-year reign, less than 30 corrupt officials were executed, and only one person was at or above the rank of state capital. Since the Taizong Dynasty, there have been very few officials who have been punished for corruption, and almost no one has been held accountable for corruption. If the prime minister is serious, I am afraid that he will attack it in groups, and in the end, it will not be done. ”

Zhu Meng also said: "Xianggong, you have to be cautious!"

In the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Pu, Ding Wei, Wang Qinruo, Cai Jing, Qin Hui, Tong Guan, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and others, one by one

The family has a lot of money, and the wealth is comparable to the country. These people are corrupt and pervert the law, sell their official positions, expropriate and extort money, pretend to be public and private, and use their power to make enough money.

Because these people were important ministers of the imperial court and could not threaten the imperial power, the imperial court turned a blind eye to their corruption. Even the fall of a few of them (Cai Jing, Tong Guan, etc.) is the need and result of the struggle. Corrupt officials are well versed in the essence of the system, and they are only greedy for money and do not oppose the imperial court. Because they are in the system, the imperial court is their biggest backstage.

Wang Song shook his head, stood up, and said in a deep voice:

"Greed for ink can ruin the country, and it will also affect the lives of the family. Corruption of officials, encroachment on state funds, and corruption of the people is really intolerable by the law. If the law is not followed, the law is not strictly enforced, the supervision department is negligent, the business is corrupt, the upward and downward effects are effective, the desire for profit is rampant, and the world is corrupted.

It is impossible for the Xuanfu Department to be like the imperial court, with both the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and now the Criminal Department covers the crimes of government officials, while the Military Police Department specializes in dealing with sergeants in the army.

As for the people, it is a matter for the local government.

It's just that letting the officials investigate their colleagues, no matter how it looks, it smells of a thief shouting to catch a thief.

Perhaps, the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Anti-Corruption Bureau in later generations are a good attempt. Anyway, the Xuanfu Division is in ruins, and everything is in the grass creation stage.

"All the officials involved in the case will be dealt with in accordance with the law, and the money that is greedy for ink will be confiscated."

Wang Song said in a deep voice: "The harm of corruption, misleading the country and the people, must be severely punished." However, the lack of legal oversight is the root cause of rampant corruption. ”

Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Wang Song was going to have in his thoughts.

Wang Song said slowly: "Everyone, I want to set up a clean government department to specifically punish corruption among officials and clarify the rule of officials, I don't know what you think?"

Insert a sentence, the app I've been using recently, [Source Change Artifact] Android and Apple phones are all supported!

Everyone was in high spirits, and Li Ruoxu said loudly: "Xianggong, come quickly!"

Wang Song said: "Ladies and gentlemen, China has been a humane society for thousands of years, and the rule of man is not the rule of law, which is also one of the most important reasons for official corruption. The Department of Integrity that I want to set up is not as good as any other department of the government, but is an independent organization, that is, independent personnel, independent financial power, and independent case handling. ”

"Specifically, the Department of Integrity is not subordinate to any of the departments of the Department of Propaganda and Maintenance, and its highest official, the Commissioner of the Integrity Commissioner, is personally nominated and appointed by me. The duty of the Anti-Corruption Department is to investigate, and after the investigation is completed, all the materials will be collected and handed over to the Criminal Investigation Division, which will decide on the crime in accordance with the law. ”

Zhu Mengshu nodded, and then asked: "Xianggong, the Department of Integrity has made secret visits and has great power, who will investigate the officials of the Department of Integrity?"

"The ICAC is the only one family, and naturally has a self-monitoring department internally, namely the Internal Investigation and Monitoring Team. They are tasked with investigating indiscipline and corruption involving officials of the Department of Integrity. ”

"Shang Ying changed the law, and Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms. The advantage is that there is a law to follow and the country is governed according to law. As for the disadvantages, the foolish and the weak, I won't repeat them here. ”

Wang Song said: "The legal system lies in strengthening the country and enriching the people, not intimidating and punishing, enslaving the people and ignoring the people." The people abide by discipline and law, and the government loves the people and serves the people, and this is the foundation of the legal system. ”

After a lot of talk, everyone was convinced.

Li Ruoxu nodded and said, "That's very good!" and lest you owe favors and be in a dilemma. ”

Huang Zong shook his head and said: "Who said no, interceding for these people has made me tired of it!"

Zhu Meng said: "Xianggong, in this way, the sooner this incorruptible government department is established, the better, so as not to make the world uneasy!"

Wang Song said in a deep voice: "Governor Zhu, you are upright and resolute in your work, so you will take the post of "Commissioner of Integrity" of the Department of Integrity and be responsible for the preparation of the Department of Integrity and the removal of officials. What do you think?"

Zhu Meng was stunned for a moment, and Nuo Nuo said: "Xianggong, I'm afraid that the villain's talent is insufficient, and he missed Xianggong's big event!"

Wang Song said with a straight face: "Zhu Gong, are you ignoring the future of tens of millions of Han people for the sake of hundreds and thousands of corrupt officials?"

Zhu Meng said that Daigo was empowered, and bowed solemnly: "Don't worry, Zhu has answered!"
