Chapter 350: Zhu Zhang: Let the guilty officials serve in the new Ministry of Industry

"Starting anew?"

Zhu Fan keenly captured the key point of what Lin Che said.

Incredible asked, "Sir, are you planning to set up a new ministry in addition to the Ministry of Works?" ”

Zhu Fan thought that he wanted to kill all the corrupt officials in the Ministry of Industry was radical enough.

Unexpectedly, my husband directly wanted to cut the roots of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials!

Just imagine, these moths who could easily lie on the court and suck blood by virtue of their positions.

Suddenly, I found that the entire Ministry of Industry had become an empty shell in name only.

Not only will there be no chance of corruption and perversion of the law in the future.

Even the official position that has been obtained after years of hard study has become a product with neither power nor substance.

Come to think of it, this taste of losing power is probably more uncomfortable for them than being beheaded.

……

"Mr. Lin's strategy is really beyond the reach of people."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping in the next room, pondered for a moment the strategy given by Lin Che to deal with the maladministration of the Ministry of Industry.

In an instant, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise it.

Since the Ministry of Industry is already rotten, pushing it over is a choice that can cure the root cause.

The prince was away, and Fu Youwen took over the work he recorded.

This is when he also stopped writing and exclaimed: "No matter what Mr. Lin looks at, he can always give the most thorough solution." ”

Although the construction of the new engineering department is a big project.

During this period, we will also encounter obstruction from officials with various vested interests.

However, if we can really build a ministry that will carry out the method of innovation.

Fu Youwen felt that at least in his lifetime, the new Ministry of Industry would inevitably be the most honest department in Daming.

However, Liu Sanwu tugged at his beard and thought for a while.

pointed out a key question: "Your Majesty, although this plan is good, if you put aside the existing officials of the Ministry of Construction, where should you find so many officials who are proficient in construction and water conservancy?" ”

You must know that people who can prepare for big projects are scarce talents no matter what era they are.

If you don't have enough experience, you can't do it even if you're honest.

Liu Sanwu thought that Lin Che's strategy was good, but he did not consider the actual situation.

Zhu Yuanzhang instantly restrained his smile when he heard this.

I also noticed that the policy of the new Ministry of Engineering looks very good.

But if you can't find it, there are enough officials with both ability and integrity.

The so-called new Ministry of Industry will always be just a flower in the mirror.

The other side.

Under Zhu Fan's expectant gaze, Lin Che took a sip of bear broth, and then answered his question and said:

"Not only the establishment of a new ministry, but also other departments of the imperial court, if the resistance to reform its ills is so great that it exceeds the cost of new construction, it can do so."

"As long as the rules for restraining officials from harming the people are formulated when the new yamen is established, and the merits must be rewarded and mistakes must be punished, the life of the craftsmen will be much better."

In history, this trick has been used by many ambitious emperors in the middle and late dynasties.

In the case of vested interests in the court, which have become intertwined.

Basically, he will choose to set up one or more new yamen who are loyal to him.

Slowly strip the power from the hands of vested interests, and let them gradually marginalize the centers of power.

The expulsion of uncontrolled ministers at once in order to achieve the goal of consolidating imperial power.

Although today's Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point where the emperor needs to wrestle with courtiers.

However, it is precisely because Zhu Yuanzhang's power is now firmly in his hands.

The establishment of a new yamen to reform the old maladministration of the Ministry of Industry can save a lot of trouble.

Zhu Fan nodded thoughtfully.

I planned to ask Lin Che for some details on the establishment of a new Ministry of Industry.

However, before Zhu Fan could speak, Zhu Bai, who had been quietly listening to the lecture for a long time, suddenly asked:

"Sir, the Ministry of Industry is one of the six departments of the imperial court, bringing together talents from all over the world who are proficient in various projects, if it is thrown aside, how can the imperial court do things in the future?"

This is also the concern of Zhu Yuanzhang and others in the next room.

The establishment of a new yamen is nothing but a matter of will.

But if you want it to reach the point where it completely replaces the old Ministry of Industry.

Among them, the officials must be proficient in the ability to preside over various large-scale projects.

"Isn't that easy?"

Zhu Fan glanced at Zhu Bai with disdain before Lin Chekai could do so.

Smirked: "Today's Ministry of Industry, although corruption is rampant, but not everyone is a moth, right?" ”

"You just need to be able to do it. Officials who are also incorruptible, and those who are proficient in the things of construction, and who have committed lesser crimes, are singled out.

"With honest people as the main officials and guilty people as auxiliaries, the shelves of the yamen of the new Ministry of Industry will soon be erected.

Zhu Fan didn't believe that the officials of the Ministry of Industry were all dark crows.

Those who do not want to go along with the dirt will not exploit the craftsmen if they want to come and treat them.

As for the appointment of guilty officials in the new Ministry of Works.

It is Zhu Zhang's recent management of the government, what he learned is not as good as the skill of controlling people.

He believed that the guilty officials would not only work hard to atone for their sins, but also have no courage to commit corrupt things again.

Lin Che looked at Zhu Fan with a rather smug expression on his face.

I couldn't help but smile and shook my head: "If you want to build, an ordinary Ministry of Industry Yamen, such a plan is enough." ”

"But if you want to be higher than one, you can't help but benefit the country and the people, and you can also benefit the craftsmen, then you must not appoint guilty officials, and even the Qing officials of the old Ministry of Industry cannot be used."

When Zhu Fan heard this, his eyes were instantly filled with deep doubts.

He asked puzzledly: "Sir, why can't you summon the old officials to serve in the new Ministry of Industry?" ”

"If not, these officials who are proficient in organizing and supervising the construction, then how can they replace the old Ministry of Works, which is full of maladministrations?"

In today's era, most scholars are obsessed with the eight-strand imperial examination.

Not many people are going to study how to build.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court are either family scholars or genius players.

If you don't select talents from among them, it will be difficult for the new Ministry of Industry to play the role that everyone expects.

"You kid has a problem, can you not think about getting rid of it in one step?"

Lin Che took a bite of the sour pickled cucumber.

Rubbing his cheeks, he said, "Have you forgotten that the purpose of setting up a new Ministry of Industry is to reform the atmosphere?" ”

"If you don't have enough officials who are proficient in the construction of things, then spend time cultivating them yourself."

"But if you want to save trouble and recruit officials from the old Ministry of Industry to do things, you will let them bring a bad atmosphere into the new Ministry of Industry, what will be the result of this, I don't need to say more, right?"

A sudden look flashed in Zhu Fan's eyes.

He still remembered that Lin Che had said that the corruption of the imperial court was irreversible.

No matter how good the rules of the new Ministry of Industry are, if a large number of moths are mixed in it, then its atmosphere will quickly fall.

Only as Lin Che said, build a new Ministry of Engineering from beginning to end.

Condense its new atmosphere of integrity, and the life of the craftsman can be better.

Zhu Fan figured this out.
