Corrupt! When power is in control and unchecked, it becomes extremely unreliable to rely solely on human moral restraint.

Corrupt officials have been like the sand of the Ganges River throughout the ages, innumerable. But what about the Qing officials? At least the Qing officials that Li Xiao knows can be counted on two hands.

Li Xiao has seen the corruption of the Donglin Party, the corruption of Wei Zhongxian, and the collective corruption of the Chongzhen Dynasty from top to bottom, from the emperor to the officials.

Now he is also faced with this huge problem, how to limit this humanized gadget to a controllable range.

Li Xiao has never thought of completely solving the problem of corruption, and no one in the world has really solved the problem of corruption, no matter what kind of clan, what kind of political system, and what kind of civilization.

Greedy! It belongs to the human bones, and it is the kind that goes deep into the bone marrow. You can't even scrape the bones to cure the poison to eradicate the corruption.

"If we want to rectify corruption, we can't delay the current government affairs of various yamen. And to be honest, according to the law, I'm afraid that the officials of the entire Liaodong will have to be arrested. In that case, the entire government affairs of Liaodong will be finished.

Now that the key moment of the policy change of the country and the DPRK, Liaodong, Hebei, and Shandong are finished, I am afraid it will be ......! Zhang Huangyan said and looked at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao understands that the agricultural tax is exempted. If we fail to collect enough commercial taxes, the country's finances will be in crisis.

More importantly, the industry in eastern Liaodong is the best place in the whole Ming Dynasty. Whether it is military or civilian, it is the pillar of the country. Every year, more than ninety percent of Daming's industrial manufactured goods are exported from these three provinces.

Anti-corruption is very good, but what is more important is ...... Healthy functioning of state finances.

"Mr. Sun said in the past that with the heart of a bodhisattva, hold the thunderbolt method. This article may not be enough to deter people in Jiangnan, but it can be used in places like Liaodong.

After all, they are all old subordinates, and they can't bear to raise the butcher's knife. Li Xiao still can't bear to act like Jiangnan for his base.

The Liao army is all old subordinates who have followed him for many years, and they are also the most loyal to Li Xiao. Don't look at some of their irregularities, but once Li Xiao is in trouble. These people must be the people who support Li Xiao the most, and for such people, it is inevitable to open up the net.

"With the heart of the Bodhisattva, hold the thunderbolt means! That's a good thing to say. Then grab a few big heads and punish them solidly. Then people from the Supervision Yuan were dispatched to inspect various places.

What needs to be improved, what needs to be corrected. The right people need to be promoted, and the wrong people need to be deposed. ”

"Hmmm! We must combine public opinion and let the big guys know what we are going to do. For those who are able to admit mistakes on their own initiative, and who are useful to the state. You can open up the net and not blame the past, but for those who still commit crimes against the wind, and the official master does not change his habits.

Catch a batch, kill a batch! In the final analysis, this is the same as killing chickens and making an example of monkeys. The bloody chicken hangs there, and if the monkey jumps too hard, hehe! Don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"With regard to the employment of personnel, the method of employing personnel can be reformulated. Liaodong, Shandong, Hebei, Tianjin are the best places for Daming education.

I think that in the future, the work in the yamen will have to be examined. The same goes for large companies, which have to take an exam to get in. In this way, it can more or less prevent some people who do not learn and do not know how to enter.

At the same time, it can also reduce some employment requests. In the future, even if there is a request, it must be a person who meets the standards. ”

"That's right! Just do it and see who you can find. Be sure to find a few with big heads and post their deeds in the newspaper. Let the whole people discuss it! also let people know that I, Li Xiao, will not cover up my own people's affairs.

The court that should give it to them will definitely give it, but they take it themselves...... Hehe, the court didn't agree. ”

"Ao Ye's ...... over there!" Although he received Li Xiao's support, Zhang Huangyan still had scruples about the old military leaders of Ao Ye and Man Ye.

These guys are extremely protective people, if Zhang Huangyan rashly moves their subordinates, it is difficult to say what these old military leaders will do. Zhang Huangyan didn't want to be knocked on the door by Ao Ye!

The Zhang family are all honest people, and it is not enough for these bastards to stew with a spoonful.

"I'll talk about Ao Ye's side."

"That's great!"

"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! The phone rang suddenly, Li Xiao picked up the phone and listened for a while before hanging up.

"Found ready-made chickens, two!" Li Xiao stretched out two fingers with a sinister smile on his face.

The Great Liao River turns a big S-shaped bend at the place where it enters the sea, and every year the Great Liao River brings fertile soil upstream to the land in this bend. The rice here is very famous, and even surpasses the rice of Li Xiao's hometown in taste.

But if there is too much water, this place called Dawa will become a flooded country, and the people will be displaced and miserable.

Every year during the flood season, building embankments for flood control has become a major priority here.

Last year, it snowed very heavily in Mongolia, so this year's flood control task will be very heavy. A large group of peasants who had been requisitioned and carried all kinds of farming tools to the embankment.

Although there is no such thing as conscription in Liaodong, this is for the sake of the land of the big guys, so no one has an opinion. What's more, the official family also serves a lunch!

No one thought that the construction of the embankment this time would actually be the fuse of the anti-corruption campaign in eastern Liaoning.

Zhang Qingshan is in a good mood today, the blue sky is white and the clouds are white, and there are beautiful ladies by his side. Life is like this, what more could you ask for!

Whenever he saw others nodding to him, Zhang Qingshan felt that the bloody struggle in the Liao army was not in vain. At the age of thirty, he became a prefect.

I don't know how many prefects there are in the world, but the prefects in Dashuai's hometown are definitely different. If it weren't for being well appreciated, the boss would never have put this position on his head.

"Your Excellency, the people below have already prepared their lunch meal. The pavilion in front of it can see the sea near and the mountains in the distance, which is a place with excellent scenery. Adults may be inspired to chant a good poem. Governor Tongzhi Liu Zishan smiled and pointed to the mountain pavilion.

Both are the old department of the Liao Army, although the two are not the same army, their common experience has made them get along very well since they worked together.

"Zishan! They are all brothers from the Liao army, and the little ink in our stomachs was forced into it by the handsome. To be honest, if I hadn't learned to write in the team, I'm afraid I would still be illiterate in Douda.

To have today, I still have to thank Dashuai and Ao Ye. Zhang Qingshan Yao arched his hand in the direction of the capital.

"Huh! The adult said yes, I think I, Liu Zishan, am just a mud leg. My ancestors have been tenants for eight lifetimes, not to mention studying and becoming an official, even if they have a full meal, it is a luxury.

Just because he joined the army, he has now become a court official from Wupin. Every time I dream back at midnight, I will never forget the kindness of the handsome. Liu Zishan bowed in the direction of the capital.

"Today, I don't know how the embankment repair has been done over there? Last year, more than 700 people died. No less than 2,000 houses were destroyed, and if something like this happens again this year, it will be difficult to explain it to both the top and the bottom. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, this is a matter within the duties of the lower officials. Definitely not going to go wrong! ”

As they spoke, they had come to the gazebo.

It looks like this place has been prepared for a long time, and there is a kitchen dozens of meters away, which is frying and frying at this time. The cook lifted the cauldron, and a puff of white steam rose into the air.

The chef dipped his hands in cold water and took bamboo tongs to put dumplings out one by one.

The prefect estimated that he was hungry a lot when he was a child, and firmly believed that it was not as delicious as dumplings, and it was ...... fun!

"Prefect, please!" A table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, plus a large plate of white and chubby dumplings.

"Hey, how can this dumpling have a ...... today!" Zhang Qingshan picked up a dumpling and found that there was a green thing left on the outside of the dumpling, like a thread.

"Adults don't know, to say that dumplings are naturally the best with leek three fresh fillings. But leeks are just a handful of grass, and they don't have any nutrients at all. The reason why we put dumplings in dumplings is simply because leeks can make the meat in the dumplings more delicious.

In this way, Xiaguan invented a way to eat fresh dumplings. Liu Zishan said, pulling his hand on the green head. A whole leek was pulled out of the dumpling.

"Huh! Do not chop the leeks, wrap the whole root inside. This way we don't have to eat unnutritious grass, but just delicious meatballs. My lord, you try. ”

"Oh! It's fresh, try it! Zhang Qingshan was very interested, and he ate dumplings for a lifetime, but he didn't expect this to be true.

I took a dumpling, pulled out a leek and took a bite. Sure enough, pure meat dumplings have the taste of leeks, but also the taste of pure meat. Sure enough, it is a peerless top!

"Hmmm! Not bad, not bad! Zhang Qingshan nodded his head in praise while eating.

"Today's wine is from a town called Moutai in Guizhou. The place was in the middle of nowhere, and only an airship could bring it out. Our yamen, but we have entered more than a dozen boxes.

Guess what! How much is a bottle of this wine? ”

"It doesn't matter how much it costs a bottle, is there any wine in the world that we can't afford to drink?" Zhang Qingshan said with a smile.

"Exactly! Yes, extremely! This year's budget silver has been declared by 20% more than last year, all of which were declared in the name of the river workers, and the above has just been approved. ”

"So it's another fat year." Zhang Qingshan picked up his wine glass and smiled very heartily.

"That's nature!"

"Lord Prefect, drink to win!"

"Drink to win!"

Two people drink wine and eat dumplings at the same time. The maid next to her diligently poured wine and vegetables, and the breeze blew through it.

is smoking leeks and eating dumplings, drinking Moutai wine transported from Guizhou by airship. Suddenly, I saw a man in a green official robe running over, although he was running fast with official boots under his feet.

"Big ...... My lord! "When I ran to the front of the gazebo, I was out of breath and couldn't speak.

"What's wrong? The wolf is as flustered as a wolf. Seeing the appearance of Xu Yan, Zhang Qingshan was a little dissatisfied. If this kid was not recommended by Liu Zishan, he would definitely be reprimanded harshly.

"My lord, it's not good. Somehow, on the embankment construction site in Dawa County, the migrant workers were given moldy rice grain. After two migrant workers ate rice grain, they actually ...... Actually died.

The migrant workers were in a hurry, and they had already tied up Zhang Dutou, saying that they were going to the governor of Jinzhou to sue you. The official spoke urgently, but it had the effect of a bomb. After finishing speaking, the two adults were a little confused.

"How can this be true? Rebellion! Rebellion! Zhang Qingshan stood up in shock, and the dumplings in the chopsticks also fell on the table.

That Zhang Dutou is his nephew, but he didn't expect to be tied up by a group of mud legs.

"My lord's capital has spread that the marshal has been quite dissatisfied with Liaodong, and this matter must not reach the ears of the governor. If it really goes to Jinzhou, our brothers' lives may not be guaranteed. If the marshal knew, he would definitely kill someone. Liu Zishan was anxious when he heard this, and he stopped his waist and looked at half of it, God knows how much money and grain those bastards withheld.

"Humph! When you gave people moldy food to eat, why didn't you expect to have today? With today's food prices, how much can you spend on more cornmeal? Penny wise and pound foolish! Zhang Qingshan was so angry that he pointed at Liu Zishan's nose and asked, maybe he was too angry, and the fingers pointing at the tip of Liu Zishan's nose were trembling.

"Your Excellency, isn't it that our yamen's office funds are insufficient. Moreover, ......, the family building will be built this year, so some river workers have embezzled some silver. I've also asked you about this. Liu Zishan was very aggrieved.

Lao Tzu does not deduct the money and grain of some river workers, where is the money to build a family building, where is the money for you to eat Haisai every day.

"Prepare the horse, Lao Tzu personally went to command the yamen. You must intercept these mud legs for Lao Tzu! "If you want to intercept these people now, I'm afraid you have to use force.

Under the Wugou battalion, there are 500 security troops. Two hundred and twenty of them were cavalry, as long as cavalry was sent. I don't believe it, those mud-legged people still have to carry the corpse and run past the four-legged war horse.

It's just some ignorant peasants who send cavalry to scare them, and then give a few money to compensate them in the yamen. Just give more money to press down, and it's not your own money anyway.

However, if you want to mobilize the garrison of the command envoy Yamen, you have to go to the prefect himself. Liu Zishan doesn't have so much power and face!

"No!" The servant hurried away, and after a while, he did not know where to get the two horses.

In the end, he was mixed in the Liao army, and Zhang Qingshan didn't wait for the horse to stop, so he flew onto the back of the war horse. The stirrups of both feet knocked the horse's belly, and the hand slapped vigorously on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse immediately ran out.

"Wait for me!" Liu Zishan's riding skills are obviously not as good as Zhang Qingshan's, and he needs someone to hold on to the reins of the horse before he can get on the horse.

The two horses galloped down towards the commanding envoy's yamen.
