Chapter 221: Three Senses
Yingcheng listened carefully to the discussions of many courtiers.
Overall.
Just as Lees put it up.
Strict investigation, strict investigation, strict investigation!
But this!
When the power is really out of control, it can't be found out at all.
Because.
In the loss of control of power, it also includes the loss of control of the power of those who are strictly investigated.
The existence of the East and West Factory in the Ming Dynasty is the best proof.
The sentence 'I will kill those who Dongchang dare not kill.' I will take care of the things that the East Factory does not dare to manage, in a word, I will take care of what the East Factory can manage, and I will take care of what the East Factory can't manage. First cut and then played, the imperial power concession, this is the West Factory, whether it is clear enough. ’
It's not something worth preaching and praising about, let alone domineering.
It's just a product of the loss of control of power.
Its real significance lies in the fact that in the Ming Dynasty, the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Three Law Divisions of Dali Temple were no longer enough to deter and solve the problem of uncontrolled power, and the imperial power needed to charter a new department to solve the problem of uncontrolled power.
However, the imperial concession quickly became a major issue.
And because of this.
Surveillance measures.
It can work very well for a while.
But in the long run, it can do more harm than good.
Because of such a system.
Just like the relationship between the government and the people, one percent of the officials govern the people.
Equally.
In the group of officials, the supervision system also manages 99 percent of the officials with one percent of the supervision officials, and in particular, this proportion does not increase with the increase of the number of supervision officials.
Yingcheng saw that many officials had said almost everything, and there was no good idea, so he said:
"Supervision is only a supplementary tool, and supervision cannot be expected to make officials self-disciplined."
As Yingcheng began to correct, many courtiers quieted down and began to listen with great interest as if listening to teachings.
And Yingcheng did not pause much, and said: "Checks and balances are power, and there are three laws, one supervision, two yode, and three officials." ”
"The policy of supervision is, as Li Gong said, to supervise the law with the law to avoid the loss of control of power."
Li Si nodded, still very much recognized Yingcheng.
The best way to check and balance power is to supervise the law through legal supervision.
But he was interested in Yod and the Rulers.
He is not averse to any advantageous, practical, new strategies.
Yingcheng did not pause, and said slowly:
"The policy of Yode is to restrain the conduct and morality of officials, and regularly hold official upright and righteous law conferences to correct unreasonable ideas among officials."
Hearing Yingcheng Yode's strategy, Li Si below couldn't help frowning.
A Confucian set?
And is it a set of Zizhang Zhiru?
Confucianism pursues the gentleman to self-discipline, Sun's Confucianism inherits the Confucianism, since Xunzi created Confucianism, earlier when he went to the school palace, he learned Xunzi's Confucianism, but Confucianism is also biased towards a set of self-discipline of the gentleman.
And now Yingcheng's policy of virtue is more inclined to the gentleman of Zizhang Zhiru to self-discipline, flaunt virtue, and have a high moral position.
In other words, it is necessary for officials to correct their own thinking through the study of discernment.
This is tantamount to a fantasy.
But.
Lees did not immediately express his opinion.
Quietly waiting for Yingcheng to finish.
Yingcheng did not pause without any pause, and continued:
"The policy of controlling officials is to solve the loss of control of power from the degree of the official system itself."
"There are three of them."
"The system of transfer of the same post to another place, the system of power transfer and rotation, and the system of official welfare."
"Among them, the rotation system of the same post and different places can be a permanent officer, and the three and one are the same difference for a period of five years, and the same position of the official shall be transferred with the same authority within the same scope of authority, and the official must be transferred in different places when he is transferred."
"In the transfer of officials, officials in the same government will be transferred in turn with the power of mutual checks and balances, and a round of transfer will be completed within five years, and in the handover before and after the transfer, that is, the responsibility will be handed over, and the officials will not be investigated for the responsibility of their predecessors in the performance of their duties, but only their positions, and during the five-year term, the first year will be to take responsibility, the third year will be to govern, and the fifth year will be to hand over responsibility."
"The official welfare system, to improve the official salary, based on the monthly salary, on the first day of each month, the imperial court will issue the official salary of the month in advance,
According to the level of the government and the standard of a local economy, the restaurant is borne by the local government treasury.
During the transfer, the imperial court is responsible for the supply of chariots and horses, and after the transfer, the imperial court is responsible for the supply of the mansion and purchases the mansion at the official level, which is a mobile mansion, and the term of office is settled, and the transfer is left, that is, the official does not have to worry about any trivial things in life in the transfer of the imperial court. ”
Be quiet.
As Yingcheng's voice landed.
The entire court fell silent.
All the courtiers were in deep thought.
Dead silence in deep thought.
It was as if the sound of touching footsteps was clearly audible at this time.
No one pays attention to surveillance.
Monitoring has been around for a long time.
No one pays attention to Yode.
The matter of Yoder is determined by human nature.
But.
Commanders.
This is the real policy of control.
"Could it be that once an official becomes a court lieutenant official, he can only become a court lieutenant official in this life, and there is no possibility of being transferred to other positions?"
"This, isn't it that if the former official leaves a mess of rags, the later official will become a wronged ghost."
"However, this official welfare system is very good, which greatly solves the problem that after taking office, the officials themselves pay for the purchase of mansions, which is also a valuable expenditure for officials."
"However, what about the officials and all the people, if they all follow along, how can they survive, there is no land...... Hey, after collectivized agriculture, there is no selfish land, even if the transferred officials and all the people of the family have passed, then they have joined the collectivized agriculture, and the relatives of the officials enjoy the inferior treatment of officials, this! ”
"And transfer in a different place, then this!"
Someone has a sentence that is halfway said, but the words come to their lips and are not spoken.
During their tenures, officials bought real estate and land to support themselves.
But.
The imperial court almost took care of all the officials.
In particular, there is no need to worry about the distribution of food and clothing in advance, and the officials do not have to worry about food and clothing at all, and the restaurant is completely equivalent to a place where officials can eat at any time.
And this.
If the official still buys real estate and land during his tenure.
No matter how stupid the Supervision Department is, it can find out that there is a problem with its eyes closed.
"Half-check system?"
Li Si stared at Yingcheng in disbelief and gasped.
Right now.
He finally understood what Yingcheng meant.
When the three divisions were first established, the Tingwei Division, the Supervision Division, and the Three Divisions of the Dajufu were responsible for adjudicating and supervising the law, Yingcheng did not mention any imbalance in the power of officials.
Originally.
I had already thought about it.
In his opinion.
The so-called policy of controlling officials.
It completely revolves around a core point, the system of half checks.
In the frequent transfer of officials, the transition between the front and back is the real key.
The predecessor will be handed over to the next within a year, and he does not think that the successor will be wronged and clean up the mess for the predecessor.
Quite the opposite.
This is completely a half-check system, in officialdom, there is a saying that people go to tea and cool.
The predecessor leaves the place of office to take up a post elsewhere, and the successor officer has a one-year review of all the problems of the predecessor.
Because once a year has passed.
All the problems left by the former officials will become their own responsibility, and even if something happens, it has nothing to do with the predecessor.
And in order to ensure that he will not be investigated after leaving, where do he dare to act mischief during his tenure.
Put himself in his shoes, if he goes to take over, if he doesn't find out all the eighteenth generations of his predecessors, then he will never dare to take over easily.
And this.
If it is combined with the official promotion system.
"In other words, after each official has been in office for one year, he or she needs to truthfully report the facts of what he has investigated, so as to make it clear that he should not bear the responsibility?" Li Si asked in surprise in his heart.
Yingcheng looked at Li Si, and he really admired Li Si's grandfather.
He immediately said: "That's right, after every official has been in office for one year, he needs to submit and keep a record, which is the only life-saving report of the official, after being approved by the superior, if there is a problem in the record, it has nothing to do with the official he is in, if the problem is found after the verification of the record, the former official can be arrested." ”
"And in the huge number of transfers, any official in any position in the government office, when it is handed over, it is the time to investigate."
"It is not an exaggeration for Li Gong to call it a half-investigation policy, but in a real sense, this is a full-check policy, and it is not forgotten that the former officials also need to be transferred to other places."
"All officials must be clear about what their predecessors have done during their tenure."
Hear the words.
Li Si smiled heartily and laughed: "That's right, it's a good strategy." ”
"The old minister seconded the three official laws mentioned in the Great Law Decree, who still has an opinion, put it forward, if no one has an opinion, it will be implemented in accordance with the three official laws."
"I don't know when the Great Law Decree thinks that these three official laws will be implemented appropriately, and the old minister feels that after the end of spring ploughing, a large-scale transfer will be carried out,"
Faced with Li Si's answer.
Feng Quji finally couldn't listen to it anymore, and couldn't help but say: "Da Lu Ling, Li Gong, don't you forget, if you are transferred to the same position, it will cause another consequence, the problem of collusion between officials of the same position, and then the problem of the same party, which will lead to the problem of officials of all positions doing their own things and not communicating with each other." ”
In the face of this mixed system, the courtiers below also echoed Feng Quji's doubts one after another.
is also turning his brain sharply to find out the problem of the three senses.
If there is no objection, the three official laws will be implemented today.
But it was Yingcheng, who smiled softly and asked, "I don't know if Gong Feng has heard a word." ”
"Iron-clad battalion soldiers!"
Feng Quji asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Yingcheng said: "It means that the barracks are fixed, and every year there are veterans leaving, and new recruits coming, just like flowing water." ”
"In the administration, everyone must understand a truth, officials cannot represent the power of the government with full powers, officials are only using the power of the government, and the power of the government is stipulated by law, weighed by the court, and attributed to Your Majesty."
"Officials can only use the government after they are stationed in the government, and no one can decide what the government can do and what kind of power it can exercise."
"If you want to engage in business as a citizen, it is a dereliction of duty for you to be unable to handle the relevant documents in the Commercial Division because of the officials, but the meaning of the existence of the Commercial Department of the government itself is to handle business-related documents."
"As for the problem of collusion between officials of the same position, this is relative, and it is better to transfer the same post than to collude with officials in one place."
"Even if it is a matter of forming a party, then in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it, instead of forming one or two parties, it is better to form hundreds or thousands of parties, why not?"
"The real problem we need to pay attention to is to formulate a stable and reasonable official system to check and balance the problem of uncontrolled power, using one person to check and balance 10,000 people, either assimilated or sunk, how many people can rise among the 10,000 people?"
