Chapter 187: Investigation
The random inspection system is the most effective means of deterring corrupt officials.
According to research, unscheduled spot checks are more intimidating than regular spot checks.
Under the irregular spot check system, everyone is not sure when they will be spot-checked.
In this way, they will try to behave and obey the law at all times.
At the same time, the irregular spot check system can effectively save manpower and material resources compared with the inspection system of no matter how big or small.
So in general, the spot check system is an effective measure to curb corruption.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also nodded again and again.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had similar thoughts before.
However, at that time, there was no reason to implement it.
This time, Hu Changan gave Zhu Yuanzhang a good reason!
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and finally clapped his head: "Commander Mao Xiang of Jinyiwei, please immediately transfer a hundred people who are good at arithmetic from Jinyiwei to set up an audit team." ”
"The commander-in-chief of this audit team is temporarily served by Hu Changan."
"You must check all the ministers' accounts this time!"
"All ministers will be divided into three categories."
"One category is those who are not involved in corruption."
"Ministers who are not involved in corruption will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver each!"
"One is the ministers who have less corruption and are poor."
"Such ministers are punished with different numbers of canes according to the amount of embezzlement."
"And those ministers who have a large amount of corruption and have a wealthy family will be decided!"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang referred to some of Hu Changan's opinions, he also made adjustments to them.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very generous to those ministers who were not involved in corruption, and even rewarded them with three years of money at once!
This is definitely the biggest reward since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yuanzhang actually felt guilty about these ministers.
If he hadn't thought it through before, the price would have been too low, and these ministers would not have been so poor!
Looking at their thin and weak appearances, they definitely haven't eaten meat for a long time.
And those ministers who were less corrupt, Zhu Yuanzhang also temporarily let them go, and did not punish them substantively.
However, beating the board in public is also a very serious punishment for these ministers who want to save face.
I believe that as long as they make a little face, they will remember this punishment for the rest of their lives.
However, to those ministers who knowingly offended, Zhu Yuanzhang was not so polite.
The scum of this kind of country is definitely innocent!
When the ministers heard this, they were naturally happy and sad.
Among them, the most pleasing are naturally those ministers who are not involved in corruption.
They were stunned for a long time, unable to believe that such a big pie could fall on their heads.
That's a hundred taels of silver! Three years of money!
With so much silver, they will definitely be able to enjoy the beautiful life of eating meat every day for a long time to come!
When I thought of the tempting oil stars that I hadn't eaten for a long time, those ministers were almost gluttonous!
And the ministers who were not too corrupt were also greatly relieved.
Fortunately, they finally have a way to live!
At this time, they were extremely grateful to Hu Changan for his righteous words.
If there was no Hu Changan, they would really be dead today!
At the same time, they also have a firm belief in not being corrupt.
Embezzlement or something, it's terrible.
In the future, you must take good care of your own hands and not be complicit with those hateful colleagues!
And those officials who were extremely greedy were all pale, as if they were about to fall to the ground when a gust of wind blew.
Among them, Xu Duo, the head of the household department, was particularly annoyed.
He knew that with the amount of his wealth and corruption, he would definitely be tortured and die!
He shouldn't have agreed to the proposal of the officials below in the first place and opened the mouth of corruption!
He shouldn't have provoked Hu Changan.
If he hadn't provoked Hu Changan, he might have been able to live a quiet life for a while, and this corruption incident would not have been found out so quickly.
But now, it's too late.
Xu Duo had no choice but to bow his head tremblingly, letting remorse ferment in his heart.
Seeing that everything was almost announced, Zhu Yuanzhang announced his retreat from the dynasty.
The ministers all scattered with different thoughts.
And Hu Changan's matter has just begun.
After going down, Hu Changan did not leave, but sat in the side hall, quietly waiting for the call.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang assigned him an important task just now.
Hu Changan believes that the efficiency of these brocade guards will definitely not disappoint him.
Sure enough, not long after Hu Changan sat in the side hall, the door of the side hall was opened.
Pushing open the door was a man in a black flying fish suit.
The man was about thirty or forty years old, with a Chinese face and a resolute appearance.
Seeing Hu Changan, the man immediately saluted and said, "Hu Shilang, I am Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard." ”
"I have already brought all the hundred brocade guards that His Majesty asked me to order."
"For the next period of time, we will temporarily obey your orders Hu Shilang."
When Hu Changan heard this, he also hurriedly said modestly: "Master Mao, don't dare to say it if you obey the instructions." ”
"We're going to be a partner for a while."
"I hope we can work together to arrest all those corrupt officials!"
Jinyiwei, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guard.
In the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei definitely had great power.
In front of Jin Yiwei, Hu Changan naturally didn't dare to take Qiao.
When Mao Xiang heard this, he also smiled and said, "In that case, then Hu Shilang, what are we doing first?" ”
Hu Changan thought for a moment, and said to Mao Xiang: "Master Mao, I think our first step is to get the account books of all the ministers' homes. ”
"Right now, these ministers are on their way to the ministry, and they will definitely not have time to go home."
"I think we might as well take advantage of the fact that these ministers have time to make arrangements and take the first step to search the ledgers in their homes."
"In this way, it can effectively avoid some impure people from cheating on the spot."
When Mao Xiang heard this, he also nodded.
In other words, he would definitely do this as the first step.
Since we plan to start with the account books of these ministers, the first step must be to get these account books.
Mao Xiang paused, and said to Hu Changan: "Since this is the case, then I will send my subordinates to collect the account books first." ”
"Your Majesty specially cleaned up a side hall for us in the palace, and all future affairs can be completed in that side hall."
When Hu Changan heard this, he also nodded, indicating that he knew.
