Chapter 215: Heavenly Eye

"Da Ming Law" is a law formulated during the Taizu period, known as the law that is not easy for eternity, such a name is enough to bluff people, but it is actually a joke.

Even in the later generations with a sound legal system, the laws of the country do not dare to say that they are perfect, and they are constantly improving.

The "Tax Law" is a law that completely separates the tax law from the "Da Ming Law" and is specifically formulated for taxation, which has been compiled for more than ten years, and it can be said that all the knowledge of tax law that Zhu Houwei knew in his previous life is summarized, and then many staff members in the palace have worked hard to compile it.

In addition to the "Tax Law", there is also the "Criminal Law", which is also a painstaking work, but Zhu Houwei's knowledge is limited, otherwise he would want to drum up the fundamental law, that is, the "Constitution......

However, it is not difficult to formulate and promulgate a law, but it is difficult to actually put it into practice.

There's so much at stake.

So Zhu Houwei either doesn't move, since he wants to move, he must make a final decision!

The seven elders of the cabinet have been completely shocked, looking at the thickness of the "Tax Law" is almost the same as the "Da Ming Law", and the taxation is so complicated?

In fact, this can't be blamed on the seven elders' shallow knowledge, they have read the books of sages all their lives, and let them write articles or write poems and lyrics, they are all good hands, but the law?

Even if you read the law well, will you take the test during the imperial examination?

Since you don't take the test, why do you want to study it?

As for the fact that as a local official, it is true to decide a case, but don't forget that a local official has a staff member and a master, and these are all professional talents, so naturally they don't need to work their own.

If you want to say that you have studied the law, it is naturally the officials of the Criminal Department, such as Jin Gui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who was present.

So Jin Gui got up and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Zhu Houwei and said: "Jin Aiqing doesn't need to ask more, I have my own opinions, and you will take this "Tax Law" back and study it well, and you can tell for it."

Jin Gui had no choice but to sit back.

"The local government has administrative, prison-breaking, anti-theft, taxation and other affairs, which are all under the sole responsibility of the local official seal official, I do not mean that it is bad, but such a grasp will inevitably breed corruption, and there is a lack of sound supervision institutions in the local area, and there are too many disadvantages just by relying on the imperial court to appoint inspections from time to time.

Therefore, I decided to set up special tax departments in the counties, state capitals, and even provinces, so that the power to collect taxes was independent from the official office, and the local tax departments were directly responsible to the higher tax departments, and finally gathered in the household department.

In addition, in order to prevent local tax offices from setting up false names, indiscriminately levying excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and causing the people to complain, a full-time supervision and inspection agency should be set up, and the people can make anonymous complaints, and once verified, they will be severely punished! ”

The seven elders of the cabinet were a little unimpressed, Taizu also stipulated that if the officials were illegal, the people could directly send the offenders to the capital, but in the end it was not a dead letter.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, the Seventh Elder still had to admit that this official protection was definitely not just talk.

The tax department, supervision and inspection seem to be interlinked, but in reality?

As long as it is profitable, the tax department makes false accounts, the supervision is complicit, and the patrol is fed, what is the final result?

Zhu Houwei sneered: "The tax department is a full-time tax collection department, and the local government has no right to interfere in the government affairs of the tax department, and the supervision department, not only the tax department, but all the yamen are within the scope of supervision, the local government is a government department subordinate to the political envoy department, the tax department is subordinate to the household department, and the supervision department is subordinate to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I am not afraid of their collusion, as long as their illegal affairs are not known to me, otherwise I don't mind killing him and shedding a river of blood."

As soon as the murderous words came out, the seventh elder immediately knew the determination to punish corruption today, but determination is determination, and many things cannot be done with determination alone.

It's like during the Taizu period, officials who embezzled sixty taels of silver would be stripped of their skins and stuffed with grass, the criminal law can not be said to be strict, and the means cannot be said to be spicy, but in the end?

Should I be greedy or greedy......

Since ancient times, the wind of corruption has disappeared because of killings, and now he thinks that corruption can be stopped through supervision and killing, and the seven elders can only say that he is still too young......

"You Aiqing seem to think that I may not get the desired effect if I set up a supervisory body?" Zhu Houwei sneered: "Indeed, if it is just like this, of course, it will have little effect, and it can even be said that I have never expected the morality of officials to make them stop their thoughts of accumulating wealth, let alone believe that the sage books they read will let them know what is incorruptible and shameful."

The face of the seven elders is a little not good-looking, although they have not said it explicitly, but between the lines they have already degraded the morality of Confucian scholars, they are not able to refute it.

Because this is reality in itself, at this time, what do you want to say that the scholar has his own righteousness in his chest, and what kind of righteous man and gentleman Ying Dynasty are talking about, but the emperor directly asked Jinyiwei to take out the evidence of corruption and perversion of the law by several officials and throw it in their faces......

Don't think it's a joke, Jin Yiwei's duty is to supervise the lawlessness of hundreds of officials, and there are definitely not a few criminal evidence of hundreds of officials in Jinyiwei's hands, and if it can be mixed with the courtiers, how clean can it be?

Not to mention anything else, that is, the cabinet officials themselves may not be clean, and the officialdom is so good, who dares to say that they are alone.

"Let the officials supervise the officials, I have never had the luxury of expecting." Zhu Houwei snorted coldly: "So I will establish the Heavenly Eye!"

Yang Tinghe was shocked and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the Heavenly Eye?"

"The eye of heaven is the eye of the Son of Heaven supervising the hundred officials!" Zhu Houwei said solemnly: "Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and he has the responsibility of picketing hundreds of officials, but it is not of great use.

The members of Tianyan may be the fans of Dongchang, the soldiers of Jinyiwei, or the soldiers in the army, and even the private businessmen and ordinary people may be the people of Tianyan, they don't know each other, and the only one who can contact them is their own independent Shangguan.

The incumbent members of Tianyan have the right to report the lawlessness directly to Yousi, and the officials on the bright side of Tianyan have the right to directly enter the palace to meet me. ”

The Seven Elders are already terrifying, what is the eye of the sky, they have completely understood, this will be an incomparably terrifying net!

As the so-called open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, whether it is Jinyi Wei or Dongchang, at least it is how to deal with it on the surface, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty have already made a law, but this Tianyan!

It's just going to cut off the way of life for all officials!
