Because he wanted to build a base on the newly acquired island, Dong Zhuo did not return to Dahan with Cheng Yutian Feng and them. However, this guy is not as loyal as Lu Zhi, and building a base is those things. Therefore, after the planning was completed, except for going to the island when he had nothing to do, he usually stayed in Palembang City to have fun.

And today, Dong Zhuo was about to go out to have some fun, when someone suddenly came to report that Liu Zhong, the chief manager of the Internal Affairs Office, had arrived at the Governor's Palace. This is amazing, you must know that Liu Zhong is not just the emperor's descendant, but also one of the five giants of the military. Dong Zhuo, who got the news, dared to slack off, so he hurried to meet him.

Liu Zhong and Lu Zhizheng were polite, and at this time, Dong Zhuo entered the door. No matter what Dong Zhuo said, he was also the highest commander of the military here, he came, Lu Zhi and Liu Zhong couldn't hang others, so they hurriedly invited in.

With Dong Zhuo joining, the scene is much more lively. This guy is good at drilling camps, and deliberately stammers Liu Zhong. After a while, he got into a relationship with Liu Zhong, and shouted at Liu Zhong one by one, like that, let alone be more affectionate.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhi shook his head for a while. But then after pondering, what Dong Zhuo said was also true. After all, the identity of the family has been confirmed by the national uncle Dong Zhong, so from there, it should really be called Uncle Liu Zhong. But when Lu Zhi thought of Dong Zhuo's identity as a hero, he was so drilled into the camp, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Alas, it is human nature to climb power and wealth. Although I can't get used to this, people don't harm others, so I can only follow others. ”

Although he understood it in his heart, Lu Zhi still couldn't turn that corner. And he looks like this. But Liu Zhong found out. But Liu Zhongzhi didn't think much about it, and thought that Lu Zhi was tired. So, in order to give Lu Zhi a rest, they took their leave.

After leaving the Governor's Palace, Liu Zhong wanted to go back to his ship and inspect the route. But Dong Zhuo, who was in charge of the navy, how could he let Liu Zhong leave so easily.

"Uncle, whether it is India or Arabia, it is not the territory of our Han Dynasty. You're just a boat. It's dangerous to take a few people with you. It's better to wait a minute, little nephew, I will transfer a few warships over and personally accompany you to see the route. ”

"You don't need it, do you?" Listened to Dong Zhuo's words. Liu Zhong hesitated, "Your warship." It's all about tasks. If you need to cruise back and forth, you will delay the business if you go to see me off. ”

"Uncle, it's the right thing to send you." With such a good opportunity, how could Dong Zhuo easily let it go, "You go to inspect the route." That's on behalf of the royal family, and we, the Royal Navy, are first and foremost to serve the royal family. So, no matter who says it. I'll send you to inspect it, and that's as it should be. Besides, the little nephew will not transfer all the cruising boats, and he will not delay the cruising. ”

After listening to Dong Zhuo's statement, Liu Zhong also felt reasonable. Since the battery life could not be delayed, it was arranged by Dong Zhuo. And when Liu Zhong and Dong Zhuo went to the warship, Lu Zhi sat in the room, pondering Liu Zhong's advice to him.

Liu Zhong and Dong Zhuo left on a warship, and Lu Zhi was also thinking about how to govern. At this time, Zuodu Yu Shi Dumi went to the palace in person and went to find Liu Hong.

Hearing that Du Mi wanted to see him, Liu Hong didn't mention how strange it was. You must know that Zuodu Yushi, that is the inspector of hundreds of officials, and when he comes, he must be eyeing something terrible.

Thinking of this, where did Liu Hong dare to delay, and hurriedly called Du Mi in.

"Du Aiqing, why did you come to see me?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen came here to discuss with Your Majesty about Cheng Yu's servant and Deputy Secretary-General Hetian Feng." Du Mi has always been a straightforward person, and when he heard Liu Hong's question, he directly said what he meant.

"Cheng Yu and Tian Feng, what's wrong with them?" Hearing what Du Mi said about these two people, Liu Hong was weird.

"Your Majesty, do you know that Cheng Yu and Tian Feng brought back a large number of gifts worth tens of thousands of dollars after the death of Sri Buddha. And now, this matter has caused a sensation outside and spread the rumor. ”

"I know this, haven't they all reported and paid their taxes? Why is there still a lot of uproar? ”

Liu Hong knows that Huaxia is a society of personal affection, and it is inevitable that there will be courtesy. Therefore, at the beginning of the reform, he made very detailed regulations on the issue of receiving gifts. And this time, Cheng Yu and Tian Feng did it completely in accordance with the regulations, and in Liu Hong's opinion, they had no violations.

"Your Majesty, the main reason for the uproar is that they have received too many gifts, and the value is too great."

"Ah, I know that, too." When he learned that Tian Feng had made a fortune, Jia Xu also slaughtered Tian Feng, and when he got the news, he also went to participate. Therefore, he couldn't figure out Du Mi's intention now, "I received a lot of gifts, and I didn't break the law, what do you mean by that?" ”

"Your Majesty, now people are reflecting that Cheng Yu and Tian Feng took advantage of their positions to receive these gifts. Therefore, their gifts should all be handed over to the imperial court. Now this kind of voice is very loud, and Wei Chen can't make up his mind, so he came to ask His Majesty. ”

As soon as he heard Du Mi's words, Liu Hong understood. This is Cheng Yu and Tian Feng's foreign wealth, which makes people red-eyed, and wants to stir up yellow for them. If I can't get it anyway, then no one else can think about it.

Thinking of this, Liu Hong asked: "Du Aiqing, this kind of thing is in your charge, I don't know what you mean?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen just can't make up his mind, that's why he came to you." Saying that, Du Mi sighed and said: "Speaking of which, Cheng Yu and Tian Feng, both of them did according to the rules, and did not violate any regulations, and the gifts they received should belong to them." But what those people said also made sense, and the gifts they received were indeed because of their positions. Then it is reasonable to hand it over to the imperial court. ”

"Because of the position!" Hearing this, Liu Hong laughed secretly, "Nima's, the official who received gifts, isn't it because of his position?" People are not fools who give gifts, if you don't look at the power in your hands, why would people give you their own things! ”

But Liu Hong thought about it, he was really happy. After all, so many people are jealous of the gifts that Cheng Yu and Tian Feng have received, which means that the rules he formulated for receiving gifts are really effective. Otherwise, if all officials had the opportunity to receive large gifts, they would never have been able to do so. After all, today they let the family pay it, and tomorrow they will receive a generous gift, and they will not be able to keep it either.

Don't forget, Liu Hong traveled in the later life, and this kind of thing is in the world where receiving and giving gifts has long been accustomed to in the later life, but there are too many examples. At that time, no matter who went out to do something, if you didn't ask an acquaintance to give some gifts, your heart would not be steady. And the public servants are even more at ease. In the end, it directly became an unspoken rule, and if they were not allowed to accept it, they couldn't stand it. Even many public servants don't want to do it because they are forbidden to receive gifts for the New Year, it's really speechless to think about!

"Yes, I have cut off the solution for them from the root, which is much stronger than the ban on treating the head and the foot of the doctor. After all, if you don't form a long-term system, just rely on a paper ban, you can control them today, and you will definitely not be able to control them tomorrow. Thinking that his own system would one day be able to surpass the truth of the universe, Liu Hong was proud not to mention it.

Of course, pride is pride, but the matter of Cheng Yu and Tian Feng needs to be solved.

In Liu Hong's view, if the situation of Cheng Yu and Tian Feng did not cause a sensation, they should not be ignored at all, because it is not representative. After all, such a thing needs to take advantage of the right time and place to make such a situation happen. If you want to run into it once, I don't know how many years it will take. You say that in a situation like this, where can you care about it? But now that it's causing a sensation, it's also necessary to explain it clearly.

To be honest, Liu Hong, who used to be a dick, really wanted to confiscate all the gifts received by officials. But thinking about it, Liu Hong also knows that it is absolutely not okay. Once you do that, there are absolutely no consequences for you.

"Du Aiqing, since the policy of the imperial court has been formulated, it must be strictly implemented. There are no loopholes, and there must be no overnight changes. And even if there is a loophole, it is the responsibility of the imperial court, and the family cannot be allowed to pay. Therefore, don't say that the policy of the imperial court is not wrong, even if it is wrong, it needs to be implemented after the system is corrected. Now that the imperial court has confiscated the gifts of Cheng Yu and Tian Feng, it should never be. ”

"Your Majesty, what you said, Wei Chen agrees very much." Du Mi nodded, and then asked, "But Your Majesty, before this, we don't care. But in the future, if this kind of large gift collection occurs again in the future, will we let it go, or will we formulate a system to manage this aspect? ”

Regarding Du Mi's question, Liu Hong shook his head for a while. He knew very well in his heart that whether it was now or in the future, the people were disgusted with officials receiving gifts, not because they were jealous that they had benefited, but because they were worried that they would be unjust in the future. As long as officials can treat everyone equally when handling official affairs, the people will never care how much they receive during the New Year's holiday. Of course, if they really do treat everyone equally, there will be no one to give them gifts.

"The gifts received by the officials are not much, mainly depending on whether they have abused their power for personal gain and betrayed the interests of the imperial court. As long as they sit upright, no matter how many gifts they receive, it is their own business, and it has nothing to do with the court. But as long as they abuse their power for personal gain, even if they only receive a copper plate, or even confiscate anything, they will also be punished! (To be continued......)
