Theoretically speaking, if the consul appointed by the central government is an outsider, it will be difficult to form complex interpersonal relationships in the local area in a short period of time, so the probability of local crimes will be smaller.

But Luo Yi knows that no matter how well a system is conceived, it is inevitable that some people will find ways to exploit loopholes.

Still take the nest case of the Yiyang Kingdom as an example.

If the consul appointed by the center is a foreigner, the local social relations in a short period of time are not enough to form a complex network of human relationships.In this case, the consul generally would not take the risk of collaborating with the unfriendly local nobles.

However, the case of the Yiyang Kingdom's nest aroused Luo Yi's distrust of the entire aristocratic class.

Luo Yi suspects that even consuls with foreign origins will "slack in politics" because of "class friendship".That is to say, they knew that the local nobles were uniting to carve up the land, undermining the "land to the tiller" policy stipulated by the King of Kings, but pretended not to know.

Would the Archon do that out of "class friendship"?
Luo Yi didn't know.

But Luo Yi knew that the European knights treated the captives kindly in the war, and their starting point was to hope that one day they would be treated kindly after being captured.

According to this logic, the nobles of the Yiyang Kingdom united to carve up the land, and the consul may also join or at least acquiesce in the behavior of the local nobles out of the mentality of "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the things hurt the other".

Therefore, it is still not safe enough to only apply the "avoidance system of native place" patch.

Even if the consuls appointed by the central government are not locals, they are still bureaucrats and nobles.Since the nobles in the European Middle Ages still treated people of the "same class" kindly in battle (they still treat non-nobles arbitrarily and kill them kindly), why do you think that the nobles in the Dyson ball world will not "open the net" to "our own people" "?
If you want to prevent nest cases from the root, you still have to rely on tribunes.Because the tribunes are incompatible with other officials, they are the most powerful insurance against nest cases.

To become a tribune, all private property must be donated, and the salary is only the median income of the local citizens.

Ordinary civilians with a median income, grit their teeth and save enough money, and still have an occasional luxury.However, once the tribunes spend extravagantly, they will be regarded as duty crimes.In other words, the quality of life of a tribune may not be as good as that of a commoner with a median income.

Analyzing from a dark perspective, due to legal restrictions, the tribunes can only live a relatively poor life all their lives, so the tribunes may be even less tolerant of other officials' corrupt and illegal behaviors because of this.

Seeing other officials corrupt and breaking the law, it is obviously impossible for the tribunes to maintain a peaceful attitude.

As for cooperating with corrupt officials... Tribal officials cannot wear fancy clothes, eat delicious food, live in a mansion, or ride a horse.Colluding with other officials for corruption, what are you trying to do?
So as long as there are tribunes, no matter how bad the government of a place is, there will be a bottom line.

Take the matter of Yiyang Kingdom this time as an example.

As long as the tribunes discover a problem, the Kingdom of Yiyang will not be able to cover it up.

The officialdom of Yiyang Kingdom could not even take drastic measures to make the tribune disappear or die.

Because once the tribune dies, whether it is a natural death or an accidental death, the local officials are equivalent to entering a terrible "strike hard" period.And once the special state of "strike hard" is entered, the central government will send officials to intervene in the investigation according to regulations, how can the Yiyang Kingdom's nest case be hidden?
Therefore, tribunes are basically the natural enemies of corrupt officials and the nemesis of cases.

The only problem is that the conditions for becoming a tribune are too harsh.

Because the tribunes are so powerful that they can almost compete with the double consuls, Luo Yi has strict prerequisites for the tribunes.

For example, applicants must be sensible and have certain knowledge (at least literacy); for example, applicants must not have illegal records; for example, applicants must be guaranteed by at least 1‰ citizens.

These preconditions are set to avoid the situation where Germany does not coordinate.

Luo Yi does not think that the poorer the people, the more noble their ideology and morality.Among the poor, there are also many people with bad ideology and moral character.

For wealthy and middle-income people, tribunes are like ascetic monks, a kind of existence that should be kept at a respectful distance.People from this class can only become tribunes without hesitation if they have the spirit of sacrifice.

However, if people at the bottom of society want to become tribunes, it may not be because of a lofty sense of mission, let alone a spirit of dedication and sacrifice.

Because the people at the bottom may simply be greedy for the tribunal's salary, which is not a generous salary at all.

After the lower-level people who hold this purpose become tribunes, they may be satisfied with the improvement in the quality of life.Therefore, they may ignore the oppression of the common people by the nobles and bureaucrats, but instead look down on their own original class with eyes full of superiority.

If the unreasonable bottom of the society becomes a tribune just for food and clothing, it will violate Luo Yi's original intention.

If the tribune harbors simple class hostility and firmly opposes other bureaucrats who agree with him, then the local bureaucracy will completely fail to work properly.

If the tribunes are appointed by a rascal who has no money, and then abuses his power to bully the city and rob the women of the people, the situation will naturally be even worse.

Out of caution, Luo Yi had no choice but to set strict prerequisites for tribunes.The high threshold can certainly ensure that the Tribunes will not have people who pretend to be fake, and the quality is guaranteed, but what about the quantity?

Regardless of the early Ming Dynasty, there was only one Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty in the next 200 years.It can be seen that the vast majority of people who are already rich or able to live a rich life are not willing to live a poor life.

With such an example before, Luo Yi felt that no one in most kingdoms was willing to become a tribune, he felt nothing at all, and even wanted to laugh a little.

In fact, the number of tribunes is not a matter of more or less.In the entire world of Dyson spheres, kingdoms with tribunes are rare.

However, the Yiyang Kingdom did not have tribunes.

People who are willing to become tribunes do not meet the conditions; those who meet the conditions do not want to become tribunes.

For this problem, how should we solve it?

Luo Yi thought for a while silently, and then decided to make another patch.

Those in power all hope that the army will be more elite, but elites are rare, so they can only relax the standards.Even if your combat skills are not outstanding, as long as you can reach the qualifying line, you can join the army and become a soldier.

In the same way, since there are too few people who can become tribunals, Luo Yi can only find another way.

Luo Yi does not intend to lower the prerequisites for the Tribune, because his attitude towards the Tribune is to prefer the lack to the excess.But he could create an office of similar duty to make up for the absence of a tribune.

Luo Yi decided to add an official position called tribune.
