For example, when doing things, it is often that the money will be taken away by the responsible officials before it leaves the state treasury, and then the officials at the next lower level will divide it up layer by layer.
You take a little, I’ll take a little, and we’ll share the national treasury. Finally, when the money arrives, there are very few people to handle it.
Handlers are unwilling.
Why do you have to do things honestly if you can take me?
No, I’ll take it, too
So they took some more.
When things really need to be done at last, there are two achievements left in the money. Thank God.
Every time the court of the Song Dynasty decided to do something important, the end result was always unsatisfactory. Either there was a problem here or there, and then a bunch of people passed the buck to others.
But Zhao Shen knew that in the final analysis, there was something wrong with the money
What is wrong with money?
Being greedy!
How else can things go wrong?
Zhao Shen doesn’t know the bad habits of DaSong officialdom, and he doesn’t know how tricky it is here. If this group of corrupt officials is exchanged for a group of honest and honest officials, the efficiency of DaSong court can be immediately increased by ten times, and DaSong can immediately enrich Qiang Bing.
That efficiency increase is obvious.
But is it possible?
Zhao Shen wry smile.
People don’t know. He doesn’t know?
To fight corruption, we must first come to Zhao Gou.
As far as his adoptive father, the man who gave him the throne, all he really wanted was to behead him ten times according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty.
What Zhao Gou did was quite energetic. He not only took the initiative to take money from the finance, but also kept asking Zhao Shen to spend money, which was not enough and earned extra money.
Zhao Gou’s way of earning extra money is very interesting. He inherited Princess Guantao of the Western Han Dynasty and the excellent ten waiters of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and took people with money to help people eliminate disasters.
The specific way is that if someone wants to be an official or a promotion, they will get to know people around Zhao Gou and pay for friendly exchanges with each other, and then pay for Zhao Gou after reaching the initial conditions of mutual trust.
When Zhao Gou received the money, he confirmed that he would "recommend" some "practical talents" to Zhao Shen when he came to visit him, so that Zhao Shen could give them.
Zhao Gou didn’t intervene in specific political affairs and military issues, and he didn’t recommend "talents" in this field. He often recommended that personnel in national projects involve finance.
Zhao Shen didn’t want to promise, but after all, it didn’t involve sensitive issues such as the army and administration. His throne was ceded to him by Zhao Gou, and he really didn’t have the confidence to stand up to Zhao Gou.
At least once out of ten times, he promised to stay for two times. He really didn’t want to promise. It was a real law to put up with Zhao Gou. Seeing that his expression was wrong, he gave in and didn’t agree with Zhao Shen. It was really unpleasant.
Pull and pull Zhao Shen and put Zhao Gou to death.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how many corrupt officials work in Zhao Gou or collect money in Zhao Gou, but what can he do? He can also to Zhao Gou pocketbook?
A politically correct "filial piety" has crushed him to death and made him breathless.
So he really wants to fight corruption and clean up corrupt officials, but he can’t.
Every time he reads this, he feels a thorn in his heart. He is very painful, painful and uncomfortable.
So when Zhang Jun came to him again to report the progress of rebuilding the army, Zhao Shen said something to Zhang Jun.
"Deyuan, do you think Su Yonglin’s killing so many corrupt officials will cause any unrest?"
Zhang Jun blinked for a long time before he realized what Zhao Shen meant.
He bowed his head and gave a negative answer.
"Su Yonglin is the founding emperor with high prestige and great potential. He wants to fight corruption and punish corrupt officials. It is absolutely possible to do it in turmoil … the scale is not estimated."
"Not in …"
Zhao Shen sighed wistfully and said slowly, "That’s nice, Deyuan. Would it be much better if we could punish a group of corrupt officials?"? It’s not that I don’t know about those fucking things embezzling state funds, but it’s hard to pretend not to know. "
Zhang Jun knows what the emperor thinks.
He didn’t want to do this, and he hated corruption, but he shook his head naively after reasoning.
This is no good.
So he decided to say that Zhao Shen must have read the historical story in Zi Zhi Tong Jian to answer Zhao Shen’s question, and let Zhao Shen think about it himself.
"After Wei Xiaowu’s emperor ran west, the Northern Wei Dynasty split and the Western Wei Dynasty was controlled by Yu Wentai, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty was controlled by the minister Gao Huan. At that time, Du Bi, a card shark, was very dissatisfied with the corruption of the civil and military officials in the DPRK, so he made suggestions to Gao Huan for anti-corruption and rectification of bureaucracy.
But Gao Huan replied that he knew all about corruption, but now he couldn’t pursue Du Bi. He was puzzled and asked him what Gao Huan explained that corruption and bad habits had a long history, which he knew, but the situation at that time was three points.
To the west is Yu Wentai’s control of the Gao Huan Department, where many generals’ families are from, and to the south is Xiao Yan, the emperor of Liang Guowu in the Southern Dynasties, who was vigorously promoting the education of rites and music.
Gao Huan felt that if he didn’t give some benefits to his men, even the generals would run west to Yu Wentai, and the scribes would sneak south to Xiao Yan. Then, who can Gao Huan rely on to conquer the sky and stabilize the forces? "
Zhao Shen looked at Zhang Jun calmly after listening.
"As a mirror, I have read Deyuan. Are you trying to persuade me that if I can’t give some sweetness to the Ministry officials, they will all flee to the north?"
Zhang Jun certainly means this.
It is a matter for heaven and man to see that the North is strong and the Southern Song Dynasty is weak, and it is also a matter for heaven and man to see that the North absolutely has the ability to overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty.
What attracts people in the Southern Song Dynasty is that compared with the "leniency policy" in the North, it is a paradise that people pursue. If you don’t even have the last "leniency policy", what do you have?
We might as well go directly to the North, be honest, and be a winner in the end. Maybe there will be more political benefits.
What about you, a loser in the Southern Song Dynasty and a second-class citizen after the reunification of the North?
Find out your core competitiveness, Zhao Guanjia!
Chapter 66 Purely clear water makes fish.
Of course, some words Zhang Jun can’t say so clearly.
He must tell Zhao Shen that this is a higher audience by euphemistic stories, which is much better than pointing directly at Zhao Shen’s head and scolding him.
Zhang Jun, who has been in officialdom for so many years, has learned how to do it.
What he said was more tactful.
"It’s not just that. There is a follow-up to this story."
Zhang Jun said, "After Gao Huan explained his position, Du Bi didn’t give up. At one time, Gao Huan prepared to lead troops to Du Bi and hoped to get rid of thieves before attacking foreign enemies, otherwise the war would not go smoothly and there would be capsizing danger.
When Gao Huan asked him who the thief was, Du Bi said that he was robbing the people, bullying the men and bullying the women, and that Gao Huan, the country’s great scholar, let the soldiers show their swords and make way for Du Bi to come over from among the swords and specifically talk about his proposition.
Du Bi came all the way to see the soldiers glaring and murderous, and the sword was chilly, and his heart became more and more shocked. When he came to Gao Huan, he could not even say a word for fear of being hacked to death by angry soldiers on the spot.
Gao Huan just explained that now you have been scared to this point before the knife is cut out, and those honors you impeached are all so close to death in danger. Although they may be corrupt, my mind is more important. Forget it. "
Zhao Shen was silent.
Zhang Jun looked at Zhao Shen’s silence and slowly said, "After that, Du Bi never dared to fight corruption again, and this matter stopped. Gao Huan’s status has been very stable and his son Gao Yang laid the foundation for replacing Wei to establish Qi."
Zhao Shen was silent for a long time before he looked up at Zhang Jun.
"Deyuan, you mean I can’t do this thing. Even if I want to do it, I can’t find the right person to do it. People who do this will be killed by corrupt people, right?"
Zhang Jun didn’t deny it, but nodded with absolute certainty.
Su Yonglin, a fish with a clear water, can fight corruption with his potential and prestige, but who else can do it?
This time, he did it himself, and it was because he did it himself that he could carry out such a vicious attack on those corrupt officials. Who would dare to change others?
