"Your Majesty, if you are unified today, do you want to hold a ceremony to celebrate it?" Tian Feng asked.

After defeating Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu had no intention of leaving Hebei at all, and had been patrolling the states.

"What, is anyone in a hurry?" Yuan Shu put down the fragrant tea in his hand and said lightly.

Tian Feng smiled slightly bitterly: "Yuan Shao has been destroyed, the world has been peaceful, and there are many people who want to receive merit and reward, and pay homage to the marquis." ”

"The world, what is the world?" Yuan Shu said calmly: "The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are just a corner of the world, and the eastern part of Liaodong, the Western Regions, the southwestern countries, the body poison, the Kushan, the rest of the world, and Rome are all part of the world. If you don't sweep it away, how can you talk about the world? ”

"There is a long road ahead, and Your Majesty should be down-to-earth while looking into the distance. In any case, the unification of the Han land is also a great event, which should be congratulated to inform the people of the world and comfort the ministers. ”

"I understand." Yuan Shu sighed lightly: "My goal is much more than that. Rome and Sabbath are far away from me, but the rest of the kingdoms I vow to take. I don't want anyone to lose their fighting spirit at this time, the real hegemony of Great Chu has only just begun. ”

"This ceremony is convenient for Chang'an to hold. Chang'an has been repaired for several years, and now that it has been completed, it is time to bring the imperial capital to it. Although Jinling is good, it is indeed a little biased, and the center of gravity after me is located in the west, and it is not appropriate to take Jinling as the imperial capital. ”

"Hmm. The Chang'an Imperial Palace has been repaired, the mansions of hundreds of officials, shops and streets are based on the design of Jinling to be improved, the scale of the entire Chang'an City is twice as large as that of Jinling City, it can be called an unprecedented heroic city, and it is definitely qualified to be the imperial capital of my Great Chu. Who does Your Majesty plan to recruit this time? ”

"Shi Nong and Industry are all represented, and each state and county class is elected according to their own performance. The legions also selected some representatives to prepare for the presentation of flags and military parades. Yuan Shu directly copied the set from his previous life.

"In addition, since I started in Jiangdong, the list of all the soldiers who have died in battle will be recounted, and no one will be missing. The bereavement benefits of his relatives were re-verified, and if there was a case of embezzlement, all those involved in the case, regardless of their official position, would be sentenced to life imprisonment, and they would be dragged to the mine to mine and dig for me until death to atone for their crimes, and no one would be allowed to intercede. Yuan Shu said fiercely.

"Your Majesty, do you know everything?" Tian Feng said in a deep voice.

"I'm not blind! Before the world was pacified, these people began to seek personal gain, and even dared to embezzle the money and food of the bereaved families of the martyrs. ”

Corruption can never be completely eliminated, and Yuan Shu knows this very well. But he didn't expect that there would be so many greedy people in his power, and even the bereaved families of martyrs would dare to do it.

"Your Majesty, my Da Chu is now extremely rich, which is a good thing, but it also breeds a lot of problems. The interests are too huge, and although His Majesty has vigorously tackled the problem of corruption, countless officials have gone one after another to embezzle money and food. During this time, we have focused on state affairs and relaxed our attention to the problem of corruption, and now there are some bad signs. Tian Feng said with a tired face.

He is a person who can't rub sand in his eyes, there are more and more corrupt officials in Dachu, although he has the heart to solve it, but he is unable to do it. This is the case with the pain caused by too fast development, and a large number of talented scholars have solved the problem of lack of management talents. However, after all, the moral quality of the poor scholars is uneven, and many of them are even less determined.

From humble backgrounds, they tend to have a greater thirst for money, so they will engage in corruption. Although it is an exaggeration to say that there are many corrupt officials in the poor family, there is indeed a certain amount of truth.

"During this time, I have been focusing on the battle, and I am indeed negligent about this issue." Yuan Shu said in a deep voice: "I thought that the high salary and incorruptibility, coupled with the reporting system and the secret supervision system, could basically solve this problem, but now I think it is naïve." The problem of corruption cannot be cured by severe punishment, and in the end it is necessary to start with the hearts of the people. ”

"How does Your Majesty plan to deal with this matter?"

"First, immediately send a large number of newly promoted scholars as officials, and set up a special supervision department to inspect corrupt officials. These scholars must have excellent moral qualities and be proficient in mathematics, and they must also supervise each other, and there must be no situation in which officials protect each other and take advantage of opportunities to accumulate wealth. Linking their subsequent official positions with the number and size of corrupt officials they have caught, they are not afraid that they will not work hard. However, remember that it is important to have solid evidence, and it is better to slow down the arrest than to cause an unjust, false and wrongful case. ”

"For the officials who are found, according to their circumstances, they will be severely punished and made public, and they shall not be officials or merchants within the three clans. If the circumstances are serious, the punishment may be aggravated, and the wife and children may be punished. If you want to be greedy, you must pay the price of the whole family! Yuan Shu said hatefully. At this time, he was also ruthless, this era has always been a family, he used to try to make it as bad as his family, but now he thinks that he is too naïve.

Think about the future generations, parents are corrupt and accumulate wealth, transfer money and wealth to their children, and go to prison with huge arrears?

To the Father, this is the Son. I am dying of old age, where is the rest of the time to live differently? Isn't it worth it to spend a few decades in prison to bring wealth to your children and grandchildren that you can't earn for hundreds of years? There are not a few corrupt officials who are driven by this kind of thinking, and their families are their best protective umbrella.

Knowing that they had transferred the money to their sons and daughters, but with some of their clever methods, the law was helpless against them. can only watch their children justifiably use many people's hard-earned money to save their lives. What an injustice this is to the people. There must be something hateful about the wretched, and no matter how good it is, it is not a reason to be corrupt. How disgusting it is to use touching affection and love as a justification for corruption.

"Second, increase the salaries and benefits of officials. It is added to the original salary as appropriate to ensure that officials do not have to worry about supporting their families. Officials' food and accommodation are all uniformly arranged. Parents and school-age children and grandchildren of officials are provided with special nursing homes and schools and are forced to join. While allowing officials to live comfortably, they have nowhere to spend their money. ”

"Strengthen ideological education for their children and conduct real-time investigations. To prepare a special channel for the descendants of officials, it is necessary to assign special personnel to strictly examine them, so as to avoid the phenomenon of handing over power. ”

"Third, businessmen, restaurants, and green buildings involved in corruption will be severely punished, and those who should be confiscated will be confiscated, those who should be escorted to the mine will be escorted to the mine, and those who do not report the relevant knowledge will be punished."

"Last, but not least. Strengthen the ideological education of all officials, carry out regular education every year, and always warn them to be clean officials and capable ministers. In the future, for those who have not yet been assigned official posts, they must first carry out ideological education for a period of time, observe their behavior, and those who misbehave and have bad conduct can be directly brushed down. ”

"This method is wonderful, Your Majesty is wise!" After Tian Feng listened, he immediately bowed.

"If you don't want to be greedy, you can't be greedy, you don't dare to be greedy, you have to pay close attention to the three steps. In the future, the accounts of the government and officials will be recorded and clearly displayed, and they will be subject to the supervision of the Qingliu officials. The upper limit of the expenditure amount of officials' families is stipulated, and all officials who have large improper expenditures or a large number of unknown assets will be severely punished after verification! ”

Although this may be a little uncomfortable and unfair to officials, there is a certain price to pay for being in power for officials. I can keep them safe, and although they can't be rich, they can be considered rich. However, they can't be too greedy and want to be in power and want to take money. Don't be an official, don't be an official, don't be an official, and if you can't do this, don't be an official. ”
