Chapter 679: Inspection System

The Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen completed its last mission today. The last return visit is over.

More than a month has passed since the first day of the establishment of the Imperial History Yamen, and for more than a month, Chen Letian, as the leader of the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen, has made the greatest contribution to the annual abnormal establishment of the Imperial History Yamen in Shu under the imperial decree.

This can be regarded as the biggest balance that Chen Letian can deduce, and the imperial court and the independence of Shudi. Or arguably the biggest compromise of the two.

On the one hand, under the premise of still retaining the absolute autonomy of Shudi, it can make the government of Shu land change from the original stripping of the central court to at least one or two months a year under the supervision of the imperial court. If you don't consider the people, you can directly rectify you, dismiss you, kill you, and exterminate your clan, these things that will not be touched before have become possible under the annual inspection system of the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen.

The people can accept the forbearance for the time being, and if they suffer from having nowhere to complain, they can wait until the imperial court premier comes down and then file a complaint. Waiting for the time being is to make it even more difficult for you officials to walk around in the future, and you will no longer be like before, with no way to complain, so you can only swallow your anger.

This is the kind of feeling that the people want to rely on.

The text of the imperial court was first sent to the prime minister, the imperial history of the yamen. Then it went down to Shu from top to bottom, from the Governor's Mansion of Shu to the county government of various places.

There were two days between them.

Therefore, the great changes in the rule of Shu that the people really knew were actually two days later than the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen.

The official documents were posted on the walls of the county offices in various cities in Shu.

For example, the source of this huge storm in Shudi, Bazhong City.

After the morning sun rose, the poster had already been posted, and two officials stood next to it.

First, the people passing by came up to see it, and then more and more people gathered around.

Among them, of course, there are literate readers. They are responsible for reading to illiterate people.

"Retain the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen, and make the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen system an inspection system... In July and August of each year, the imperial court will directly send personnel from the Sixth Ministry or the Imperial History Observatory to sit in the town, and specially accept the complaints of all the people in Shu. Moreover, the petition must be replied to within two months..."

The scholar read this.

An old man with a hoe asked, "Can we sue every year?"

"Who are you going to sue at such an old age? Why didn't I see you sue this time?" someone next to him knew the old man, so he said.

The old man smiled: "Old man, although I didn't sue this time, but I may need to sue next time, I see that our workshop is a little bad, I went to my field to pick my family's vegetables, I asked him for money, but he didn't give it, and scolded me for slamming the door..."

"Forget it about your old age, don't bother the Prime Minister Yushi Yamen for this little thing, okay, the adults are very busy. ”

The scholar who read the notice stopped when he heard this and said, "What you said is not right, the notice clearly says that big and small things are things, as long as they are things that the people care about, it is not a small matter, and the theft of vegetables that this old man said is also a big thing." What did Chen Yushi tell us? Chen Yushi said when he was not Chen Yushi at that time that those who are officials and officials should take the people to heart, and they should not care about small things and do not want to do big things, and in the end it will be inevitable that the people will suffer great hardships and suffer great losses. So, everything starts small..."

Scholars say that big and small things should be paid attention to.

When Chen Yushi was still in Bazhong City, Chen Yushi dug up the dirty silver in the homes of these officials with the people every day in the case of 20 officials and bandits, and the people listened to him a lot. So the people took note of what he had said.

Later, Chen Yushi became the prime minister's imperial history of the Yamen, which was personally awarded by His Majesty the Imperial Court, and those words were even more remembered.

In the current Bazhong City Tavern, Tea Shop, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, everyone will say a few words that Lord Chen Yushi has said.

"If you don't stand guard, I won't stand guard, who will protect my family and country?"

"If you are corrupt a little, I will be corrupt a little, how many officials in the world will there be?"

"Only the people have always suffered, how can those who are officials and officials ever suffer?"

"The people of the capital are living a good life, but our Great Song Dynasty is not only the capital, but the Great Song Dynasty is more at the feet of non-heavenly sons like Bazhong City!"

"I'm an eyesore to cut off your heads as urinals, and the only role of corrupt officials is to ferment flesh and blood, and perhaps fertilize the fields. ”

There are words in addition to sentences.

For example: "He looks like a lost dog when he is proud." ”

"This one has to be killed, that one has to be killed, let's kill them all. ”

"One by one, one counts as one. ”

"That's not necessarily? It doesn't have to be a fart, just write the word "certain" a hundred times for Lao Tzu. ”

These words have become the words of the people of Bazhong City and even the entire Shu region.

It's been a long time since I've had such a person who is in charge of our Shu people, I really have to thank Lord Chen, but unfortunately Lord Chen may not come to our Bazhong City again, Lord Chen is too indifferent to fame and fortune.

The men, women and children of Bazhong City, who have never seen the people of Chen Yushi, in the following life, in the words of people and children and grandchildren, maybe gradually the name of Chen Letian will be misremembered, but this majestic momentum of being the master of the people will eventually be imprinted in the hearts of the people of Shudi. Become the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty and even the backbone of the world.

In July and August every year, the Lord Yushi is resident for two months, that is to say, at least two months in Chengdu, Shudi, and there will also be Yushi to go to the county government of each city to open up a government for the people to complain. In addition to the relatively large Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen in Chengdu, other cities can either rent local shops along the street, or open one in the county government. The key is to make sure that the people can report everything they deserve.

If there is a complex problem that cannot be solved in the short term, the imperial history will stay until the problem is finally solved and then return to Beijing.

Once a year. It is a system for the Prime Minister's Imperial History Inspection.

For the people, in fact, the simplest and biggest change is to file a lawsuit, and there is no need to go all the way to file a lawsuit. It saves a lot of trouble and a lot of dangers that may arise in the middle. Directly handed the case to the inspection of the imperial history sent by the imperial court. And because of the randomness of inspecting the imperial history, it is impossible for the Shu officials who are thousands of miles away from the capital to open up the joints in advance.

This fully ensures the vitality of the system as much as possible, living water can be drunk, and dead water is poisonous, the same reason.

The people of the Great Song Dynasty did not prohibit much from top to bottom because the government was well versed in the truth that the mouth of the people was more important than the defense of Sichuan. And the consequence of the formation of the mouth of the common people is that the common people often discuss the policies of the imperial court together.

As soon as the new inspection system of Shudi came out, it became a topic of conversation among the people. The entire Shu region and even the entire Great Song Dynasty are talking about this system.

Of course, the people of the Great Song Dynasty affirmed this system first. Because the problem of the rule of officials in Shu has always been a thorny problem for the dynasty. Nowadays, under the premise of not changing autonomy, there is a patrol system, which is just good for solving the pain points of the people who have been suffering for a long time.

There are even many local governors in their own staff, quietly sighing and saying that if we can use this method in this place, maybe the governor of this side can also be easier. The problem of government governance is not limited to Shudi...

But this can only be thought about in private, and he would never dare to go to the court.

After all, it is difficult for people to govern Shu because of the word autonomy, and other places are either autonomous, or the responsibility of your governor, and the local governor has an unshirkable responsibility. They can't say that I can't control my officials here, and I need the inspection system to help me, so wouldn't that be admitting that they are incompetent?

The king of Shu admits that he is incompetent is self-preservation, and if other local governors say that they are incompetent, it will be the consequence of demotion.
