Chapter 1252

"I see!"

The wind was blowing on the lake, and there was a halo of water around the boat. Wen Xunpeng really understood.

He doesn't know that in the future, there will be many sources of financial revenue, but he understands that now, financial revenue is nothing more than two major channels of food and salt.

It can be said that both the local government and the imperial court rely on this.

In contrast, official salaries and official salaries are getting thinner and thinner. This does not mean that a large official salary is good, but whether it is an official or an official, the salary is often only one-tenth of the actual needs.

Especially officials, the government has to support a large group of small officials and servants as patrolmen, but the wages are only working food silver. The so-called working food silver, as the name suggests, is the basic cost of eating, which is only 4.8 taels a year. Completely canceled.

In other words, except for officials at all levels, all staff members who are not in leadership positions will be obliged to work from now on.

Fortunately, in this world, the minister persuaded me to live.

In order to survive and operate financially, the local government had to find a way to share the profits.

Floating income, Le Zhe, Cao regulations, Fan fees.

Among them, the feudal fee is the largest, that is to say, according to the unspoken rules, one-tenth of the feudal fee has to be paid for the passed-on project, and now one of the largest passed-on projects is the granary.

The granary is sold every year, bought, depreciated, and the army, counties, and officials all rely on it to survive.

"You are a grandson, you can abolish this bad habit, but you have to give us your life!"

"If you don't give us a way to live, we can only not give you a way to live."

Even though Wen Xunpeng is full of wisdom and skills, he has never thought about the problem from this perspective--personal corruption can be killed, so what about official corruption and national corruption?

Or to be clear, the state is greedy for the money of the local government and the officials, and does not provide funds or salaries. What will the local officials and officials do?
Wen Xunpeng thought hard about this question, and the more he thought about it, the more creepy he became. He stood in a daze for a long time, and then said with a wry smile: "It's no wonder that the people who investigated this case in the past all died. This is the anger of the public!"

Su Ziji still smiled, and waved his hands: "You still don't understand what you said, anger is a personal anger, it's a personal grudge."

"The second is public outrage, offending a large group of people."

"But this matter is not even generalizable to the collective, it is public anger--what is offended and damaged is the system (organization) itself."

"I'm a grandson, I can ignore private anger, and I can suppress public anger, but the anger of the system is hard to deal with."

Private anger is personal, just kill it and use it up.

Public anger has some energy, but it cannot last.

But if the system (organization) is blocked or destroyed, every day it operates, the system (organization) will suffer for a day. This hatred will last forever.

"Then there is no other way?"

Wen Xunpeng thought about it carefully, and finally figured it out. His heart was cold. He felt that he was unparalleled in the country, but he was like a child in the ways of the emperor and grandson.

When the superiors want to kill people, the best method is to have people investigate this case, which seems to be corruption, but is actually a necessary case for the actual operation of the government.

If you are guilty of the system (organization), you will die naturally without a burial place.

Su Ziji couldn't help laughing. He was walking in the cabin, but now he stood still: "This problem itself cannot be solved. To solve it, we need to change the financial distribution of the entire imperial court."

"I don't have this right alone."

"But that doesn't mean there's no way to deal with it."

"If the problem cannot be solved, it does not mean that it is meaningless. This is actually a touchstone for me."

"The worst thing is naturally the vigorous investigation and the crackling of the board, but it can't be carried out, and it can't go deep. This is incompetence."

"Everyone in the world knows that a lonely person is too harsh to be a king." Su Ziji smiled: "With this introduction, the emperor will have a reason to deal with me in the future."

Wen Xunpeng savored the grandson's words, and nodded sincerely.

"Secondly, I withstood the pressure and insisted on carrying it out. Many people were killed, and hundreds of officials' black hats were swept away. Will it actually solve the problem?"

"If the imperial court does not change, nothing will be solved, only a harsh reputation will be gained."

Wen Xunpeng's face turned pale: "The most tragic thing is you, grandson, who further cut down on counties and garrison offices, but there is no way to make them work."

"That's exactly what I want to say." Su Ziji nodded, looking at the lake outside through the window, his face no longer had a smile, under the dim light: "This is to blame the sky, and there is nothing to pray for!"

Seeing Wen Xunpeng suddenly panicked, he smiled: "But on the other hand, my countermeasure is very simple."

"I am the grandson, and my biggest responsibility is not to fight corruption, but to maintain the system."

"Things that impact the system are absolutely unfeasible."

"Not only can we not attack the system, but we must also build a strategic position, lead it, and maintain it."

"And I'm a grandson. To a certain extent, solitary is the system, the government office, and the rules."

"But since Gu is ordered to cure corruption, it won't work if he doesn't."

"Therefore, in the name of Gu, it is my duty to contact the layers of yamen involved in the granary, build a strategic position, and operate them in my palm."

"Follow my officials and run the yamen."

"Those who refuse to follow and are ignorant of current affairs are corrupt elements, who will be killed or demoted."

"First to ensure the normal operation of the yamen, second to distribute the benefits of the granary, and third to find out the corrupt elements and sweep them away."

Wen Xunpeng savored these three points and was convinced.

In this way, there is a system, benefits, and anti-corruption.

The most important thing is that people of insight in the world will naturally know Taisun's methods.

"Now you understand, follow my plan!" Su Ziji waved his hand: "First count all the account books and find out where the food went."

"Where the food goes to the public accounts, one by one, talk to the corresponding yamen and chief officials."

"Let them cooperate to clean up and hand over the accounts, and I will give them a way out."

"In this case, if you are still ignorant of the current affairs and stubbornly refuse to accept it, then go to death, no matter if you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it, not to mention that they have indeed embezzled money and food, and there is a law to kill them."

"Those who go into private pockets, in principle, don't show mercy, and some people are allowed to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds."

"Don't worry about Zhang Dai first, and he has the flag of Wang Ming, so I can't control it—without him oppressing the yamen and officials, how can our conversation with the local yamen be effective?"

"He is willing to be the black face of Gu, how can Gu stop it?"

"When something big happens, I don't care whether it's right or wrong, and I'll behead him immediately, and hang him in order to appease the anger of the crowd." Su Ziji said calmly while holding a teacup while looking at the water outside through the window.

Regardless of whether Zhang Dai is a loyal official of the ages or a giant beetle of the country, he must be killed at this point.

Wen Xunpeng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Just an hour ago, Su Ziji was "full of regret" for Zhang Dai, but in a short while, Zhang Dai had almost no way out.

The ups and downs of the officialdom are so shocking!
Although Wen Xunpeng was flustered in his heart, he bowed and said yes, saying: "My lord's general purpose has been determined, and the work will go smoothly, but there is still a problem in investigating the whereabouts of the grain."

Speaking of which, with a smile, the county magistrates will naturally know if they cooperate, and if they don't cooperate, they will be accused. There is nothing to say about this.

"Even if the counties and counties cooperate, we don't have many people."

"It's easy. I'm still a great-grandson and an imperial envoy, and the accompanying officials can't eat for free. I'll let them participate in the team of counting the account books of the granary."

"Even if the officials in the team are used, there are still not many people." Wen Xunpeng calmed down completely, thought carefully, and said.

"It's easy to handle. Talk first, and the cooperating counties and counties will first recruit their people. It only needs a hundred people, and it should be enough to count 74 granaries."

"For example, Yu Ming, the magistrate of Liangyang County, if he is willing to follow, let him transfer the counting office of the civil servants in the county."

"Yes!" Wen Xunpeng responded with a bow. Seeing that the grandson had nothing to say, he stepped out and was blown by the cool wind on the empty lake. It was refreshing, but it was slightly melancholy.

"Today we will know the methods of the Tian family!"
