Corrupt officials, how to govern.

This is a question that has been discussed for ages.

But the ages have never been able to come up with a correct answer.

It is better to say that there is no such thing as a "right answer" from the beginning.

What is needed is for generations of emperors to stay sober at all times and have their own ideas of governance.

The contradictions in society are constantly changing at all stages, and there will never be a fixed formula that can solve all contradictions.

It is just like the so-called "Su Xuan's law".

How easy it is for an emperor to gain fame.

Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling.

He refused to be appeased.

Many people say that Zhu Yuanzhang underestimated human nature, because how can anyone who is not greedy as an official? The water is clear and there are no fish!

But were his methods completely ineffective?

For a long time, at least, officials understood that "corruption" was wrong, rather than taking it for granted, as the Mongol government took for granted.

Human nature is complex, so it is necessary for generations of emperors to exhaust their efforts and use all methods to guide.

Did Zhu Yuanzhang really underestimate human nature?

He should know better than anyone else that this world is the worst in the world, but he is unwilling to compromise.

It's a pity.

People are dead.

……

The two black shadows gradually dissipated, and Su Xuan and Yu Wentai walked over with pale faces and bowed their hands respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter, it should be a rumor in later generations, and I hope your Majesty will know about it."

After saying that, they also gradually dissipated.

Li Shimin glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and sighed, "No matter what, at least my old Li family will never have such an imperial power technique." ”

Liu Che also added, "My old Liu family doesn't have either!" ”

Liu Bang gave him a head in a rage, "Little rabbit cub, it's your turn to say this?" ”

Liu Che held his head, angry, endured it, and cut in anger in the end.

The corner of Lu Pheasant's eyes twitched, and he dragged it away one by one.

In the middle of the fight, several people also dissipated.

Ying Zheng said coldly.

"Great Qin Law, even those who are greedy for ink and money must be punished."

Zhu Yuanzhang's mood at this time had calmed down a lot, but his expression was still complicated and slightly cold.

Hearing Ying Zheng's voice, he paused.

Ying Zheng didn't pay attention to him anymore, with a faint negative hand sideways, and his figure gradually began to dissipate.

At the end, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly spoke.

"We've moved you into the Imperial Temple."

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and sneered.

"My status as an emperor, do you need to admit it? When I became emperor, you didn't know where to be dusty! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang: ............

As Ying Zheng's figure gradually dissipated, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Both are smart people.

Some things don't have to be said too clearly, but they are enough.

Ying Zheng understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant: I have turned black to powder.

Zhu Yuanzhang also understood what Yingzheng meant: I am the first emperor, I am too lazy to bother with you.

This is a "smile and enmity" that belongs to them alone.

The implication: next time, we can discuss the twists and turns together.

When all the emperors disappeared one after another, the little golden dragon squeezed out of the gap in time and space, probing his brain.

"Zhu Baba, have you found the answer~"

Zhu Yuanzhang: ......

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, forcibly ignored the first three words, and said mildly.

"What is the answer to the Golden Dragon Divine Envoy?"

The little golden dragon blinked.

"Of course, how to deal with corrupt officials!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, and then shook his head calmly.

"That's not the answer we want."

He can't do it at the expense of the people and for himself.

Rather than this, it is better to bear the infamy of eternity.

Xiao Jinlong thought for a while, and then said, "Then have you seen those three people?" ”

"It's like, it's like it's called ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang calmly added, "Hai Rui, Zhang Juzheng, Yan Song." ”

An incorruptible and competent.

A greedy and capable one.

An ink-hungry and incompetent.

Xiao Jinlong said, "Oh, I didn't tell you, in the later period of your dynasty, there was only one person like Hai Rui, most of them were like the latter two, and there were even officials who were greedy for ink for more miles!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, and his eyebrows gradually became angry.

People are dead, people are dead!!

After he leaves, even if he can't control the waves of the future generations, how can he not feel angry and powerless!!

If that's the case, then what's the point of what he's doing?!

Zhu Yuanzhang tried hard to suppress his anger, let out a long breath, and lowered his eyes.

"Please also ask the Golden Dragon Divine Envoy for guidance."

The little golden dragon was quite surprised.

"Fingering? I don't say it! ”

Without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's face to twitch, the little golden dragon turned around happily and flicked his little tail.

"But I can take you to find the answer, whether you can find it or not is up to you."

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then a stream of golden light enveloped him and broke into the starlight in the sky.

Towering huge bookshelves with no end in sight stand in all directions, small stars swaying and floating in them, and transparent and invisible jellyfish are swimming leisurely.

The spiral staircase spiraled up in all directions, and there were some light clusters wrapped in white light that could not be seen clearly, lingering for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up, and his eyes slowly filled with shock.

"It's ......"

The little golden dragon had turned into a majestic dragon at some point, and circled around him solemnly.

"This is the Library of All Worlds, which is all-encompassing, throughout the ancient and modern, where time and space are reduced to nothing, and only those who have great chances can get a glimpse of it at a certain moment of enlightenment."

Zhu Yuanzhang's pupils vibrate.

The golden dragon slowly closed the bright golden eyes that seemed to contain the universe.

A majestic voice sounded faintly.

"Go, you're a visitor I accidentally put in when I close my eyes, and when I open my eyes, the journey will be over."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the huge golden dragon fixedly, took a deep breath, and bowed heavily.

"Thank you Golden Dragon Divine Envoy, thank you for your great kindness!!"

He didn't delay any longer, and stepped into this fantasy world with hunger!!

Look for an answer that I don't know if there is an answer or not.

……

Ying Zheng, Li Shimin, Liu Che: ......??

……

Off topic:

(In the late Ming Dynasty, due to the Ming Dynasty treasure money and other reasons, the actual income of officials was too low, but according to my investigation, this problem during the Hongwu period is not too exaggerated, the officials' Yulu and the rich Song Dynasty are indeed lower, but the overall number of officials in the Song Dynasty can not be compared with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has just experienced the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is impossible to pull the officials' salaries to the level of the Song Dynasty at once.

In addition, it does not mean that I agree with Zhu Yuanzhang's indiscriminate killing, no matter what, indiscriminate killing must be undesirable. ）
