The silver was distributed, and immediately Qi Chu, who took refuge in Zhu Youxiao, immediately felt that the money was a little hot.

"Lord Shen, do you think you should take this money?" Xu Dahua and the others found Shen Yu and were obviously suspicious of the silver distributed by the emperor.

"Huh! As a courtier, he eats the king's money, and he can't get anything. Shen Yan smiled, obviously speaking official words. Xu Dahua's face turned bitter, and he whispered: "Lord Shen, you can get an idea!" ”

"If today's son is Shengming, how can he not know that our ministers seek officials thousands of miles just for money? His Majesty also knows that when the water is clear, there are no fish. Besides, do you dare not accept this money? Shen Yan asked with a smile.

Xu Dahua and the others immediately smiled and stopped talking.

This silver is really hot, because after receiving this money, if you dare to be greedy in the future, it will obviously be extremely fierce.

But do they dare not take this money?

Now this group of people can jump up like a rocket, because they have the emperor as a backer behind them. According to the normal script, it should be that after they came to power, they also went up and down like the Donglin Party, and they also embezzled a lot. It's just that in terms of doing things, we should be more beautiful and positive.

At that time, as long as it is not too excessive, the emperor can generally only turn a blind eye, after all, this is a deal that he is willing to fight and suffer. If the emperor encounters a little corruption and shouts to kill him, then it is too much, and he has to give some benefits to you, right?

But it was different when he took the money, the emperor was equivalent to giving them a part of the money, and it was regarded as their normal income. It is equivalent to giving them benefits, plus they did not investigate the past after reporting their previous embezzled family property, which is to give them a channel to make a fortune.

Shen Yan's natural way Xu Dahua is what kind of people this group of people are, and he can't help but admire the emperor's hand. Rather than letting this group of officials rely on the emperor's support and their role in the emperor, secretly not knowing how much silver they are greedy, it is better to distribute that amount of money to them in the open, and then use torture to deter them so that they dare not embezzle.

The benefits of this are extremely obvious, and in the process of fiscal revenue and fiscal expenditure, the cost of loss has been effectively controlled. There will be no chain loss due to corruption.

For example, to repair a water conservancy project, planning to build a reservoir for 10,000 taels of silver, but was embezzled for 5,000 taels, and the reservoir was built into a tofu slag project, maybe the reservoir was washed away in a few years, and the imperial court not only spent a sum of money in vain, but also reinvested a sum of silver to rebuild.

So to put it another way, before the reservoir is built, it is assumed that the official is given 1,000 taels of silver, and then the official is asked to spend 10,000 taels on the construction of the reservoir. In the end, the cost was 11,000 taels, but the quality of the reservoir was guaranteed.

The former turns a blind eye to official corruption, and sometimes you don't know how much they will be corrupt, and the risk is uncontrollable. The latter limits the loss to a certain range, and although the expenditure increases, it is not prone to problems.

As for how to prevent corruption, it is actually relatively simple. As long as those in power dare to investigate ruthlessly, dare to break the unspoken rules of officialdom, and make corrupt officials pay a heavy price, while making the income of these officials visible, most of the corruption will disappear. After all, there is no need to take this risk when the number of people has increased significantly.

Embezzlement or non-embezzlement is often just a matter of the cost of crime. If the annual income is enough to ensure that you live a good life, you may not take that risk to embezzle. If someone commits a crime against the wind, and the corrupt methods are so clever that they cannot be seen under strict investigation, it must be that the means are extremely concealed and will not bring a bad atmosphere, and it is their ability not to be found out.

What I am most afraid of is blatant corruption, and I don't care about it. Other officials who are not corrupt look at it, he can be corrupt, why can't I be corrupt? So they followed suit, and corruption immediately became commonplace.

Therefore, the fight against corruption is actually a very simple matter, as long as those who are openly corrupt are eliminated and then made to pay a heavy price, the trend of corruption can be curbed immediately. As for in-depth anti-corruption, it can also be carried out, but it does not necessarily need to be perfect, and there is no perfect thing in this world.

After all, all things are symbiotic with yin and yang, if a thing is pure yang, it is an immortal, it has jumped out of the five elements, does not enter the three realms, and is not considered a thing in this world.

The ancient period of China was actually a spiritual civilization, and in the period when there was no written language, Taoist scholarship had already appeared, and it was mainly used to guide cultivation at that time. The Taoist monk is the pure yang that makes his own energy pure, so that he can last for a long time. Later, some people were unwilling to practice, so they split into the cultivation world and the secular world, and the Datong society collapsed, and the secular world began to indulge in pleasures, and because of the lack of productivity at that time, it evolved from the Datong society to the slave society, and later developed the writing and productive forces, and then transitioned to the feudal society. It was only in the Spring and Autumn Period that Lao Tzu summarized Taoism in words.

Therefore, there is a coexistence of light and darkness in this world, and no one can completely eliminate darkness. However, there is another law of yin and yang, that is, 'yang dominates yin and follows', that is, when the positive energy is equal to the negative energy, the positive energy must be dominant. Westerners are still stuck in the low-level level that the dominant positive and negative ions are not certain.

According to the law of 'yang dominates yin and follows', it can be found that in a healthy country, although the underworld and evil forces exist, they cannot be put on the stage, and they belong to the state of seeing the light and dying.

And a country that is about to perish, it is bound to be stronger than the negative energy, and the underworld forces have begun to openly swagger through the market and suppress the forces of justice. Because of the law of yang and yin, this state must not last long, when the ruler cannot change this phenomenon, once the suppressed positive energy bursts out, it is a change of dynasty. Just like thunder and lightning, the Yang Qi revives in spring and begins to fight against the Yin Qi, and the stronger Yang Qi is surrounded and compressed by the Yin Qi, which in turn produces thunder and lightning.

As Zeng Guofan once said, there were three precursors before the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

1. No matter what, there is no distinction between black and white.

2. Kind people, more and more modest and polite; Evil people are becoming more and more respected.

3. After the problem reaches the Cheng dù of Yan zhòng, everything is rationalized, and every qiē is acquiesced, and it is inexplicably false.

Forty years after the death of Zeng Guofan, the Qing Dynasty was indeed destroyed.

The three precursors of the demise of the country summarized by Zeng Guofan are actually derived from the theory of yin and yang, which is the advanced point of China's unique 'analogical thinking'. You can use the complex appearance, analogous to the five elements of yin and yang, Zhou Yi Bagua, and then deduce the essence through guò theory, and when solving the problem, then deduce the big principle through guò theory, and solve the problem according to this big principle, and the country will naturally return to normal.

Westerners' logical thinking does not have this ability, because they lack a core system of analogy. This is also the reason why Westerners are sometimes more rigid in their brains and look stupid.

Westerners pay great attention to detail when governing the country, but they do not have a clear sense of the general direction, and often make very low-level mistakes, such as Western countries being played around by businessmen and religions, which is a low-level mistake that is completely impossible in China.

However, this way of thinking of Westerners makes them less shrewd, but it does not mean that their brains are more stupid, so their way of thinking also has their advantages, that is, if they go down with a tendon, they will create a lot of deformed monsters, such as technology. Then use absolute material superiority to bully other backward countries.

And the difference in the way of thinking also makes the way China and Westerners govern the country completely different. China's leaders govern the country through analogical thinking, putting forward major principles and directions, and as long as the direction does not deviate, then the country will naturally become strong and prosperous, and they do not pay much attention to details.

The same is true militarily, and the Chinese pay attention to the general direction and the grand strategy in the military. Westerners, on the other hand, pursue the power of weapons, believing that superior equipment and materials can gain the upper hand, and are more sloppy in strategy. The Korean War fully demonstrated the difference between Chinese and Western militaries, and although the Chinese volunteers were outdated, they could still compete with the advanced U.S. military, and ultimately thwarted the U.S. ambition to support a puppet state on the entire Korean Peninsula.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao is engaged in anti-corruption, as long as he lets ** see the light and die, it will be considered a success. The current Ming Dynasty is already very much in line with the three precursors summarized by Zeng Guofan.

Through the five elements of yin and yang, it can be easily concluded that if you want to save the Ming Dynasty, the general direction is to fight against the underworld and evil forces and let justice regain the upper hand. Let the kind people be able to speak loudly.

If these Qi Chu Zhexuan Party Ma Zai who are gathered together are still greedy and pervert the law, even if they can do things, they will only let the Ming Dynasty survive, and it will not improve the problem in essence.

Zhu Youxiao's anti-corruption strategy is to start with these horses who have taken refuge in him, and then expand the position. In this area, once a corrupt act is discovered, it must be severely punished, so that all corruption will be seen and there will be no room for compromise. If these officials can be corrupt without being discovered, that is their ability, there is no need to dwell on this issue, the law of nature is doomed, and it is impossible to completely eradicate corruption.

Chinese officialdom will rot, and it has always rotted from above to below. The top takes the lead in greed, and the bottom will follow greed. If we do a good job of corruption among officials at the top level, our influence will gradually expand to the middle and lower levels.

In terms of governing the country, China's traditional model can be compared to 'yang', and yang is qi, which is more ethereal. The detail-oriented model of Westerners can be regarded as 'yin', and yin is qualitative, which is more concrete. The two have their own advantages and disadvantages, and when the national strength is not much different, the Chinese model still has a certain upper hand when they fight, because the positive is dominant.

However, the solitary yang does not grow, the solitary yin does not grow, and although the extreme can flourish for a while, it cannot be maintained for a long time. According to the law of the five elements of yin and yang, the balance of yin and yang can 'all things grow'. Therefore, the best governance model is to carry out integration. If the general principles are formulated in the traditional national arts, and the details are formulated in the way of Westerners, the country can be strong.

As a traverser, Zhu Youxiao obviously has a huge advantage in this regard. In the 21st century, in order to catch up with Western countries, China has paid more attention to details, although it has not reached the kind of Cheng Dù that Westerners almost 'go mad'. And in the Ming Dynasty of this era, there were actually many officials who knew how to govern the country with traditional national arts. After all, the literati in these years have all learned the five elements of yin and yang and the Zhouyi gossip, and grasping the big principle is what they are best at. So why is the support of the literati so important when there is a rebellion? It is because they can provide guidance on big principles and big strategies.

didn't let Zhu Youxiao wait long, and let the advantage of the traverser and the traditional Chinese statecraft advantage 'double sword', because Shen Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, gave him three twists and turns in one day, and put forward many strategies for governing the country, which suddenly made Zhu Youxiao like a treasure.
