In only the shortest possible time, the news that Wang Hengyue appeared to enrich the people during the southwest tour has made the rich people known all over the city.

Achiela was also quick to learn of the situation.

And the local tyrants who are rich people, their first reaction to the situation is to be a little panicked.

Wang Hengyue has come to enrich the people? What is he doing here? As soon as he entered the rich people, why did he make the entire county know about it? What was he doing there?

Ah Biao thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't think of it.

"Master, now that Wang Hengyue lives in Fumin County, he has brought seven or eight guards, and a foreign girl, if you want to start, it will be an opportunity."

"No, no" Ah Biao waved his hand: "The reason why Wang Hengyue only brought so many people to Fumin with great fanfare, I thought there must be a conspiracy in it." I'm afraid that Wang Hengyue wants to do something to us."

"Master, he's just a few people."

Ah Biao sneered: "How many people? He destroyed Liu Xianshi in one battle, and then killed Tang Jiyao, this person is dominant, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou are now in his hands, those who underestimate him have all died, how can we fight him with our strength? ”

"So, what to do"

Ah Biao frowned and thought for a long time: "Let everyone be ready, I will go to the county government to meet Wang Hengyue!" ”

"What?" The subordinates were shocked: "In case"

Ah Biao sneered, "Wang Hengyue still doesn't dare to get rid of me, get rid of me, what should I do if this rich people are in chaos?" ”

The Fumin County Government looks very poor, dilapidated, and has not been repaired for a long time.

Manan is a good official, and Wang Hengyue's first thought in his heart was like this. When I entered Fumin, I saw the easy-to-understand notice, and then Manan's efforts to enforce the smoking ban.

Now that he sees that his county government is so poor, his good feelings have increased.

At this time, Wang Hengyue had decided to take the rich people as a model, whether it was in internal innovation or the rectification of local tyrants.

Especially on the issue of local tyrants, Wang Hengyue just wants to tell the governors of various places that he is their biggest backstage, and no local tyrant force can override the government!

The woman who brought the tea was actually Manan's daughter-in-law, and the rich governor didn't even have a subordinate.

Wang Hengyue took a sip of tea, but he didn't taste tea at all, and he didn't know where he got the bargain, and Wang Hengyue didn't mind: "Governor Ma, you have a few factories in the rich people, why don't you get some benefits for yourself?" Also, your monthly salary is quite a lot, so you won't be so poor, right? ”

"Setting up a factory is all the funds brought by the lower officials, and the lower officials really don't dare to handle a penny, otherwise who else dares to invest in enriching the people?" Ma Nan didn't have time to think about it, but the following words made Wang Hengyue a little confused:

"As for the monthly salary of the lower officials, it is indeed a lot, enough for living expenses, and it is not a big deal to use a maid, but the reason why the lower officials are like this is completely for others to see."

Wang Hengyue was curious: "Do it for others to see?" Tell me what's going on? ”

Ma Nan did not hide it: "Xiaguan deliberately made himself so poor here, first, to let the businessmen who come to invest in the rich people know how honest Xiaguan is, and he doesn't take anything, so he can rest assured that he can invest here." The second is to reassure the common people, who have the opinion that a poor official is a good official because he is incorruptible. When the people believe in you and have confidence in you, everything will be much easier to do, and it will be much easier for the lower officials to carry out some orders."

Wang Hengyue sounded fresh to say this, but after thinking about it again, it was really like that.

Manan's approach is quite slippery, even a little opportunistic, but this does not affect his opinion of him. Now in addition to being a "good official", this person can also be called a "capable official".

"Get your good tea." Wang Hengyue said with a straight face: "This patrol envoy is here, are you still using this to fool me?" ”

"Yes, yes." Manan hurriedly responded.

His daughter-in-law quickly got good tea.

Wang Hengyue took a sip and put down the tea bowl: "Well, this tea is a little interesting." Manana, you are doing this for the sake of enriching the people, and I don't blame you, on the contrary, I want to praise you. But I thought of a question, an official like you can fool me, how many officials do you say are trying to deceive the above? ”

"A lot." Manan said honestly: "Among the ten magistrates, I am afraid that half of them are in defiance of the meaning of the above, and if they can implement half of the policy orders from above, then they can be regarded as very good officials." As for corruption [***], as long as you don't make things too big, don't make things too extreme, you can't find it above."

"yes, I can't find it." Wang Hengyue's expression was solemn: "Take me as an example, there are actually only a few people I can manage." The chief of staff, the commanders of the divisions, the governors of the provinces, and the civil officials to the level of Daoyin, I can only remember half of the names. As for the governor, I don't know nine out of ten, who is a good official and who is a corrupt official, I have two eyes in the dark, I can only listen to other people's reports, and when the problem is really discovered, it will be too late."

"This has always been the case in our country. The emperor only asked the prime minister, the various ministries, what prefects and counties below, and what things did the emperor know? Happened to know that a local official was corrupt [***], and the people were very angry, so they caught a few and did a few, so they became a Ming Jun, and the people were happy, but how many corrupt officials and evil officials could an emperor arrest? Every dynasty and every generation has to handle several major and important cases, but as soon as the limelight passes, corrupt officials and corrupt officials have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain."

Wang Hengyue's brows tightened the tighter and tighter he was. What Manan is saying now is exactly the same as what he thought before, rectifying the problem of officials and solving corruption [***], with the expansion of his territory, it is already more urgent.

It is not difficult to lead an army to conquer a place, but how to solve the problems that arise after the conquest is the most difficult.

Many commanders like themselves can defeat the enemy's thousands of troops, but they cannot defeat corrupt officials.

Countless dynasties were also hollowed out little by little by these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and finally collapsed

"In fact, all previous dynasties had a system of supervision of officials." Manan is not bold, and he can talk eloquently in front of the southwest patrol envoy:

"China is the first country in the world to establish a supervision system and supervision institutions. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, China has had a fairly complete supervision system and supervision institutions, and they have distinctive characteristics. First, it is directly under the emperor. The officials of the supervision department were directly accountable to the emperor and had a strong reading surname. Second, it has a lofty status. In the Han Dynasty, the highest supervisor of the country, Yu Shi Dafu, also served as the deputy prime minister, and was called the three dukes together with the prime minister and the imperial lieutenant, and could sit down in front of the emperor to discuss matters. The imperial historian of the Yuan Dynasty was served by the crown prince or prince, and the official was a good one. Third, officials are small and powerful. In ancient times, the main force that really carried out the supervision task was to supervise the imperial history, and the level of supervision of the imperial history was very low, only seven grades. But the imperial history of the dynasties could supervise anyone but the emperor, including the inspectors of the central department. Fourth, weight and responsibility are light. In order to reassure the supervision officials, the supervision officials are given special privileges, and they can even 'hear about the incident', and they will not be guilty if there is no substantiated evidence."

Glancing at the patrol envoy, Wang Hengyue listened very carefully, and Manan continued:

"But such a supervision system is too restrictive. The royal surname is the obvious problem, and it is the root of all ills. Both the supervision system and the supervision officials are responsible to the emperor alone, which requires the emperor himself to be a responsible person. But in fact, some emperors were incompetent and took the lead in undermining the system, and even changed the supervision system at will; Although some emperors attach great importance to anti-[***], the intensity is very great, and the punishment measures are also very severe, but the design of the entire system is unreasonable, and even forces the good to be a coward, and the result is that the former is corrupt one after another, and the repeated prohibitions do not stop, Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongzheng are the best examples. The second is unprofessional supervision. Supervision officials have the right to report, but they do not necessarily have the right to investigate cases, and in the process of investigating and handling many cases, major matters are reduced to small and minor matters, which weakens the deterrent effect of supervision. Thirdly, the issue of oversight of Ombudsman has not been effectively resolved. Some supervision officials were honest and honest at first, but due to the lack of strong supervision and restraint, they began to deteriorate over time, and they became corrupt local officials in the same stream, causing supervision to become another kind of [***]."

Wang Hengyue couldn't be clearer about these truths, but they just came out of the mouth of an official in this era, but Wang Hengyue had a greater curiosity about Manan.

Wang Hengyue nodded slightly: "Anti-corruption, anti-corruption, the more anti-corruption, the more corrupt it becomes." Manan, you have analyzed well, analyzed thoroughly, you can see through all these problems, it's not simple, it's not simple! ”

Manan said: "Do you know that there is a country called Sweden? ”

Wang Hengyue smiled dumbly, he didn't know Sweden? But he didn't show it, but said lightly: "Say, how is Sweden?" ”

"Sweden claims to be the country with the most incorruptible officials in the world, and there is a reason for this." Manan didn't show off at all, but said seriously:

"Sweden was the first country in the world to introduce a system for registering the property of officials. Hundreds of years ago, Swedish citizens were granted the right to inspect the assets and tax status of all officials, and any citizen has the right to check the prime minister's property and tax list, and this system has continued for nearly 200 years. Sweden requires all citizens and groups, including public officials, to disclose their property and income details to the tax authorities and to accept inquiries from all owners. I think this is probably the main reason why Sweden is clean. ”

Wang Hengyue suddenly asked, "Have you ever been to Sweden?" ”

"No, Xia Guan just likes to study, and asked his friends to bring a lot of books on this subject from overseas, so he also knows a little about this matter!"
