In the case that it is impossible to eradicate the atmosphere of low-level officials and corruption.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang killed all the corrupt officials in Shangyuan County.

The moths that would be too frightened to reach out were limited to the state and county officials around Shangyuan County.

For those corrupt people who are far away from the emperor, how much more taxes they should collect will definitely not be less than a grain of rice.

I can't say it, and I will laugh at the court for only seeing what is in front of you.

I can't care about those of them who are on the horizon.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to educate Zhu Fan on how to deal with such things, Zhu Fan paused and continued: "After the Shangyuan County case is over, the Criminal Department will specially select a group of experts in handling cases, and then divide them into two groups, starting from the north and south to investigate, and urging officials to arbitrarily collect taxes. ”

"The captains of the Governor's Mansion are also divided into two groups, but they are investigating in the shadows, and they only have the power to collect evidence, and the criminal department is fully responsible for the trial."

"Even if the officials of the Criminal Department bend the law for personal gain, the lieutenant can only play with a sloppy performance, and must not interfere in any way."

As soon as this strategy came out, the disappointment in Zhu Zhang's eyes instantly turned into ecstasy.

Because those who only know how to kill corrupt officials can only be regarded as mediocre.

However, those who can take the heads of these moths to deter the officials of the world.

In the future, he will inevitably become a qualified successor to the Ming Dynasty.

After all, in the absence of the ability to eradicate the source of corruption.

Only by setting off a major case can we deter the world.

Even if the deterrent effect can only be maintained for a few years, it will be enough for the people to live a peaceful life.

As for a few years later, there will be corrupt officials again.

The same solution is.

No matter how many such moths are killed, they will not affect the livelihood of the people.

This is a means summed up by his years of experience in governing the country.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Zhu Fan had also learned some essence of governing the country, and couldn't help but smile with relief: "Second brother, since you already have a plan in your heart, then Shangyuan County is fully responsible for the case of overcharging taxes." ”

Zhu Fan pressed the fire today, and watched Xiongsan see them doing evil in the countryside, just to deal with these moths himself.

Now that he got what he wanted, he suddenly smiled and said: "Thank you for your father's trust, my son will never let a corrupt official slip through the net." ”

After Zhu Fan subdued the Tan people, Zhu Yuanzhang had no doubts about his ability to do things.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also understands that this is actually taught by Lin Che.

If you change to Zhu Zhang's previous temperament, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm down and do things.

Zhu Yuanzhang wrote down an order casually.

Suddenly thought of one thing: "Second brother, why are only the officials of the Criminal Department allowed to try the case, and the captain can only investigate the case?" ”

"Have you forgotten? The lieutenant also has the power of torture? If the two are investigated together, not only will the efficiency be faster, but there should also be a lot fewer unjust, false and wrongful cases, right? ”

Zhu Fan was very strange, why the wise and martial father, Emperor Hongwu, would ask such a simple question.

But he still explained seriously: "Father, the captain can handle few cases on weekdays, and there are few opportunities for meritorious service, so as soon as they get the opportunity to investigate the case, they will be like a vicious tiger out of the cage, and they will try their best to catch more 'prey'." ”

"In this mentality, I'm afraid that all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who overcharged taxes in the name of the imperial court will be punished."

"If you don't have the money to honor these good officers of the school captains, I'm afraid they will all have to be accused of corruption and perversion of the law."

If it were before, if anyone dared to say harmonious and bad things in front of Zhu Zhang, he would inevitably be regarded by this kid as a traitor with a ghost in his heart, and wanted to slander the loyal Son of Heaven's army.

It can be taught after many days of Lin Che.

In addition, after the crown prince Zhu Biao took over the Governor's Mansion, he also told him some of his experiences.

Zhu Fan gradually realized that although the lieutenants were loyal to the imperial power, they were also ordinary people with seven emotions and six desires, no different from those who studied for the examination and became officials.

Even sometimes, because Mei Wenguang has so many opportunities to make money and be promoted, after encountering a case, a captain with a bad mind will deliberately make a small thing big.

In this way, bribes are collected on a large scale, and the blood of innocents is used as a ladder for their promotion.

Of course, it does not mean that all school captains are such perverts.

In the same way, even those who are eager to make meritorious contributions can play an unexpected role at certain times.

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Zhang's explanation, his face was full of smiles that could not be hidden.

He chuckled, and then said, "Okay, very good, second, now that you have recognized the true usage of the captain." ”

"If you can properly handle the case of Shangyuan County, and investigate whether other states and counties overcharged taxes in the future, we will also give you the right to supervise and handle the case."

After realizing that Zhu Fan had embarked on the right path to becoming a qualified vassal king.

Zhu Yuanzhang decisively created more opportunities for the second child Zhu Fan to participate in actual government affairs.

Even if you can't be in charge of investigating cases, even if you are a bystander, you can accumulate a lot of experience in governance.

In the future, when you become a vassal territory, there are many advantages to governing the region.

Zhu Fan didn't expect that he would still have the opportunity to participate in the big case, and he was suddenly overjoyed and said: "Father, the son will definitely not disappoint your expectations." ”

In the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, after taking over the will to supervise the case in Shangyuan County.

Zhu Fan chatted with his father for a while, and then went home happily and prepared to go.

……

Following.

Ying Tianfu Wharf.

Due to the return of Tang He, the Duke of Xinguo, and Nanyang, Zhu Yuanzhang did not go to the early dynasty today, but took the Manchu civil and military forces in advance to meet Tang He's envoy fleet.

However, I don't know which minister who is not strict leaked the news.

The people of Ying Tianfu all knew that the envoys of the Nanyang countries who returned with Tang He wanted to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

So they all rushed to the dock early.

Outside the realm line of the well-armoured, mighty Han generals with their bodies.

The probe probed his brain and waited for the returning fleet.

"Here we are." I waited for about half an hour, when everyone was bored and started talking to the people next to them.

I don't know who shouted, but many people who watched the excitement looked at the dock together.

I saw dozens of majestic treasure ships that had weathered the wind and waves, breaking out of the light mist.

Even though the fleet was still some distance from the dock, there were still people with good eyesight who clearly saw the bow of the first treasure ship, and there stood a general wearing a cloak and armor.

and a four-hoofed beast with a book-long neck and a body covered in lumpy golden spots, somewhat restless.

"Kirin!"

The people with good eyesight, after seeing the strange-looking beast.

After just being stunned for a moment, he yelled excitedly.

And as the fleet got closer and closer, the others, under his guidance, also discovered the existence of this beast with an extra-long neck.

"The Rui Beast of the ancient legend is actually true!"
