Chapter 621 Prevention + Severe Punishment
Chapter 621 Prevention + Severe Criminal Law
The morning court began, and after the rhythm of shouting for a long time, all the ministers took their positions. Chen Xie's position was just after the five cabinet ministers. This was not because he wanted to stand here, but because he could only stand here. Now, Chen Xie, a cabinet minister who was not in the cabinet, dared to compete for his position with him?
Zhu Youjian saw the tall and powerful Chen Xie at a glance, and immediately took the initiative to greet him: "Sihua, come in front of you, and you will have something to tell you later." Just this time, Chen Xie had to come forward with a wry smile and bowed: "Your Majesty, love!"
The ministers looked at Chen Xie incorrectly. This holy favor! No one in the court can match! Although Chen Xie is known as a grand scholar, everyone knows that he will not enter the cabinet in the true sense. Who told him to be the emperor's son-in-law? This rule cannot be broken. The civil ministers will consciously maintain it, and Chen Xie will consciously avoid suspicion. Zhu Youjian also understands this very well, and is unwilling to break this unspoken rule, let alone break the rules and force Chen Xie to force Chen Xie.
"My dear friends, if you have something to say, you will be separated if you have nothing to do." Zhu Youjian said with a smile. Everyone knew that he was in a good mood and came forward to talk about the affairs of each department in turn. Chen Xie stood in the front row, right next to Zhou Yanru. Hearing him talk about the affairs of the court, he could do it one by one, and he could do it at will, and the situation was clear. He thought that this prime minister was not simple, and he could know everything.
The position of the chief minister looks very high-end, but in fact, it is really true that the chief minister who wants to do things has never had a good ending. Why? Because what they have to do often touches the interests of the sects of the world. The king and his subjects are interdependent and the relationship between interests and competition. It is difficult for traditional farming civilization to avoid this vicious circle. In fact, no matter any form of civilization, the contradiction between the interests of the ruling class and the national interests has never disappeared.
It is not difficult to understand this point when looking at how the American leader Roosevelt did. This contradiction will always exist and is irreconcilable. Whether it is rule of man or rule of law, this contradiction will not disappear. Or as long as there are people, the contradiction between interests between people will not disappear. But it is not the price. Is it cost-effective to hurt the interests of others? The same is true between countries. If the cost of robbery is too high, then you will not take risks.
Chen Xie was unwilling to sit in this position. His foundation in Xinghai City was completely different from that in the capital. It was a new world. Although various contradictions existed, they were not obvious. Now it was just a piece of white paper, and he would draw whatever he wanted. After he established a complete set of rules, especially the existence of a mechanism to promote institutional reform, the future will depend on what future generations do. The general direction should not be wrong.
When Chen Xie was sleepy, Zhu Youjian felt funny when he looked at it. As expected, letting him stand here was torture.
"Sihua, Sihua!" Zhu Youjian and others said almost everything, so they shouted on their own initiative, and Chen Xie suddenly looked up and smiled embarrassedly, "I slept a little late last night." Everyone in the morning laughed, with an expression that everyone understood.
"I heard that you proposed a new charter before the morning court. Let me tell you now." Zhu Youjian said this, and the ministers' expressions were a little serious. Chen Xie's budget system looked very beautiful. In fact, who knows? This guy has never been a good person.
Chen Xie smiled and said, "The memorial is well written, and the whole set of words is not clear here. I will send you to the palace and take some time to take a look." Zhu Youjian knew that this kid was not kind-hearted. This was for the ministers.
After the court was dispersed, Chen Xie naturally couldn't leave, so he left Wang Chengen and followed him into the palace. A memorial was already on Zhu Youjian's table. Zhu Youjian didn't say that he would go and see it first, but asked first: "What is the purpose of doing this?"
Chen Xie said: "Rights need supervision! And it is all-round supervision. Now the chief officials of each province, prefecture, and counties have too much power. The three departments constrain each other, resulting in inefficiency, and then they have the position of governor. I think that the power of the governor and governor are too large and must be restricted. This restriction is mainly reflected in finance. However, this restriction cannot be expressed too clearly and has caused a comprehensive rebound, so it is necessary to make a cloak of the fiscal budget. In general, it is to let the provinces and departments of the capital come up with a budget of what to do next year and how much money to spend. With this budget, each province will have a digit of money spent, and it is convenient for the court to supervise it. From the perspective of the governor, after the budget is completed, they will be convenient and flexible in doing things."
Zhu Youjian then said, "Okay, I understand, let's start watching now, you can go back first."
Chen Xie left very easily. He knew that as long as he said this, Zhu Youjian would be moved. In fact, this fiscal budget system has little to do with the administration of officials. There are policies and countermeasures above and there are some corrupt officials to embezzle. The biggest trap buried in this system report is actually the Consulting Bureau. After a one-year fiscal budget is released, it is reported to the Ministry of Revenue for review, and Your Majesty passed it. It seems that the final right is in the hands of the emperor, but once it exceeds the budget, you will apply for additional budget. Sorry, you have to explain it to the Provincial Consulting Bureau. The Consulting Bureau recognizes your additional report before you can report it to the Ministry of Revenue.
You can also do more when making budgets. Haha, I'm sorry, the provincial fiscal budget report must be recognized by the Advisory Bureau. More than half of the provincial parliamentarians voted to report to the capital, which appeared as an effective government report. The pit was dug very much, and it was not something that looked so delicious. Zhu Youjian was not stupid. After he understood the truth, he would actively promote this matter more than anyone else. Promote the establishment of the Advisory Bureau of the Beijing, otherwise who would supervise the six ministries and cabinets of the capital. They could spend the country's money at will, wouldn't that dig out their own corners?
After all, this is a supervision mechanism, but it is hidden under the skin of the fiscal budget. As an emperor, of course, he hopes to see such a thing happen. It is clear how much money the governments at all levels below spend every year. Some people help supervise. The censor is unreliable, and there is also a private institution of the Advisory Bureau. Now the censor is equivalent to the discipline inspection department. However, these grandsons do not need evidence to impeach ministers. The news is reported. This rule is too annoying.
It is not possible to not tell evidence, so Chen Xie emphasized the importance of the rule of law in this report. It is recommended to write this system into the big news. There is another problem that Chen Xie knew is inevitable, that is, the Consultative Affairs Bureau did not rule out collusion with the government to make profits. At this time, the importance of the censor was reflected. This department can be used as a basis to establish a department for official integrity. This department is directly controlled by the emperor, combined with the existing Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and is dedicated to inspecting the corruption problems of officials at all levels. It also emphasizes that this inspection is not a good example, but must be implemented. Therefore, this department cannot be too miserable. You have to have a higher salary as a guarantee of your life.
Zhu Youjian finished reading it very seriously. He ate a few bites for lunch and read it in one day. At dusk, he got up from the chair and walked in the yard for a walk. Chen Sihua had so many ideas in his mind. You must admit that these ideas were very good. The issue of official administration in the Ming Dynasty has never been solved in a real sense. In this new budget system, Zhu Youjian was hesitant, which was to significantly increase the salary of officials. Even if there is no need to corruption, officials can live a good life. Can this fundamental solution to the problem? Chen Xie said in the report very clearly that high salary and integrity cannot be cured. What should he do, but this system can only exert a little force, not the fundamental solution of the problem. The fundamental is still four words "severe punishment and law". You must never be ruthless against corruption.
That is, he emphasized strict punishment and rule of law, and also emphasized the rule of law, and also safeguarded the monarchy. This is how Zhu Youjian understood it, but he did not see the contradictions here. What contradictions? The contradiction between rule of law and rule of man is hidden a little deep!
Overall, these things are beneficial to the Ming Dynasty. Especially the administration of officials, it is indeed time to not be rectified. Starting from this budget system, then reverse it bit by bit. Today, there are too many problems. Zhu Youjian had no idea before and didn't know how to solve it. Chen Xie told him that prevention is better than after the incident. After a problem occurs, it is better to deal with it severely than to take it lightly.
If you are an individual, you have the heart of interest. It is impossible to eliminate it, and it will only make him see that the consequences will be very miserable. Back then, when the Taizu period was greedy for fifty taels of silver, it was impossible to eliminate corruption. Therefore, we must take multiple measures and try our best to take preventive measures. It is not realistic to expect human nature to be good, and it is impossible to expect human nature to be educated in the face of interests.
Zhu Youjian called Wang Chengen to take the report, print and send it to the department and cabinet to see it, so that everyone can give their opinions and gather ideas. This is the emperor's mind again, it is nothing more than just looking at the faces of these officials.
Of course, Chen Xie knew that he had thrown something into the lifeless Ming Dynasty. When this thing exploded, it would definitely throw bags into the fish pond and could blow up pieces of dead fish. But this thing really had to be done. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty's officials are in power, which is not enough for them to be greedy.
Chen Xie is very clear about the consequences of doing this, but he doesn’t have to worry about his current identity and situation. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
