Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1491 Don't even try to escape

  The fundamental problem lies in professionalism.

   To put it bluntly, most of the current censors and Dali Temple are scholars with titles on the gold list. They have read the Four Books and Five Classics for half their lives, entered the Imperial Academy, and then entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate or Dali Temple.

   Regarding the so-called laws, they may not even be clearer than the petty officials.

  Since this is the case, then simply introduce a new trend, recruit a group of young people, conduct professional training, and let them be responsible for these things.

  The various Beijing inspections do not interfere with each other. You search for your certificate, and he checks his.

  Once there is enough evidence, it will be directly submitted to the Beijing Procuratorate.

   There are thirteen members of the Jingcha envoy, and to put it bluntly, they are supporting these little Jingcha envoys.

  Although in the end, the emperor can't be spared.

   But at least... in the past, the supervision of officials was just relying on the so-called impeachment of officials, but now... it has begun to be more formalized.

  Emperor Hongzhi probably read the regulations, and then raised his head: "Is it safe to do so?"

   Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to this matter.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, it is very difficult to be foolproof. The so-called people's hearts are separated from the belly. The most difficult thing in this world is loyalty and treachery."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "So it seems useless?"

"It's useful." Fang Jifan said confidently: "As far as I know, many officials are unscrupulous. They take oppression of the people as a routine, even a dog in their family is extremely rampant. But with supervision, son I can't guarantee that they will never be greedy for money, nor can I guarantee that they will not engage in malpractice for personal gain, but... it can make them restrain themselves a lot."

  Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes: "Huh? Restrain?"

Fang Jifan nodded, and said: "The so-called Dao is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet high. In the past, because he had no scruples, even a small official could openly drag the small people on the street to ask for money, but there is supervision. Afterwards, they may still search their guts for greed, but the method is by no means so rough, the same is true for petty officials, and the same is true for senior officials. Nothing can be accomplished overnight, and freezing three feet is not a one-day cold. His Majesty's decree can eliminate all the evils, which is a bit taken for granted."

Fang Jifan paused, and then said: "If my son is a small businessman, and he goes in and out every day, he is directly asked for property by the petty official, and if he encounters a lawsuit, even if he is wronged, he will only fight according to the mood of his parents and officials. Come on, what do I think?"

"But because of the deterrence, the petty officials don't dare to be so blatant. Maybe... only when someone asks them, they dare to ask for some benefits in a covert manner, and secretly give some benefits to others. And if they encounter a lawsuit , Although the parents and officials are in a bad mood, they also have some scruples. Even if they are partial to criminals in their hearts, they dare not do too much. On the surface, they maintain justice. Isn't this a huge improvement for Xiaomin?"

Emperor Hongzhi listened carefully to Fang Jifan's analysis, his eyes gradually brightened, and he suddenly realized: "There are some truths, I can't eliminate all the evils, but I can eliminate the heinous ones, so that those who do wrong will be severely punished." , Only in this way can people be restrained. The Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot high. This is a good saying. I didn't expect you to know the truth that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish."

Fang Jifan said with a chuckle: "Your Majesty is generous and benevolent, he is thrifty, not sensual, and he is diligent in political affairs, attaches great importance to the judiciary, and speaks freely. Not only that, he also drives out traitors, is diligent in political affairs, and strives to govern... My son is learning from His Majesty's side. , Is there any reason not to be enlightened."

  Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "I know, even if it is to do this, it will not be easy, and there will inevitably be a lot of resistance, Jifan... I am very worried about you."

Fang Jifan said calmly: "This matter is beneficial to the country, and it is also of great benefit to the people of the world. I will do my best. As for the resistance, of course there is, and it is even possible that my minister will be retaliated by countless people, but this A piece of cake…"

  Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head, glanced at the regulations again, and couldn't help saying: "There is Chen Tianjin here? This person...hasn't just opposed it..."

Fang Jifan said conveniently: "Mr. Chen is just discussing things as they are. His character is noble and pure, and he has always been admired by his ministers. Public is public and private is private. In private, the ministers admire him very much. A straightforward person like him has become a The Jingcha envoy, this matter will come to fruition."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but have a look of approval in his eyes, and said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, you still have such a heart."

  Fang Jifan also expressed emotion: "I have talked with this Chen Shilang, and I am deeply impressed by his uprightness. In my heart, he is like my elder brother. I have feelings for him."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and finally said: "Since that's the case, let's do it."

   Let go and do it... My hand is hurt.

  Fang Jifan pondered in his heart, and secretly lamented the backwardness of the ancients, and it was unreasonable that there was no compensation for work-related injuries.

   But Fang Jifan is still very happy, with His Majesty's permission, everything will come to fruition.

  Carefully selected a hundred young people. Most of these young people have good character and are all studying in Xishan. After they are selected, they will start training immediately.

  On the other hand, it is to ask for money and food. With so many Jingcha, they will always need money to work in the future.

  They need to rent houses in various places, and they need to hire some people to help them.

  Of course...it must be performance. Whoever can handle the case, and the evidence of the case is detailed, and has been approved by the Beijing Procuratorate above. In the coming year, the funds given will naturally increase, but if nothing can be done for several years, or if it is done with great difficulty, it turns out that the evidence searched cannot be convicted, and the worst performer will be abolished immediately.

   To put it bluntly, in Fang Jifan's view, bonuses and funds are the gas pedal for these Jingchamen.

  In order to make themselves more famous, become a leader, and have more funds, these Jingchao people must rush forward desperately.

  The responsibilities of the thirteen Beijing Inspectorate are exactly the brakes. They have to test the evidence, confirm the veracity of witnesses and physical evidence, issue search-related orders, and so on.

  Most of these young people are full of vigor, and they were all very excited when they learned that they were about to become the intern Jingcha.

  They began to familiarize themselves with the law of the Ming Dynasty, learned the skills of investigation and evidence collection, and even... how to recruit informants, identify the authenticity of informants, and so on.

  After more than a month of training, these people each received a sum of money and started working.

  In fact…

  This is a good time to feel like a duck to water.

  Because there is almost no need to cover up the corruption or oppression of the people in this era.

  It is not uncommon for people to grandiosely send countless amounts of silver to the houses of various families in the name of Bing Jing and Tan Jing, or to bully ordinary people under various names.

   There is no such thing as sneaking around.

  Therefore, the so-called evidence-searching skills do not exist at all.

  The various Jingchas began to accept reports continuously, and began to look for witnesses and physical evidence everywhere. Those who robbed civilian women, directly asked for money and food, and even ordinary officials were almost ignored by Jingchao.

  The things that happened in broad daylight can be described as shocking.

   People have long been accustomed to this.

  Countless criminal evidence and files, like snowflakes, piled up to fill a room.

  At this time... Fang Jifan immediately invited Zhu Houzhao.

  In a small courtyard in Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Houzhao recruited all the Jingcha envoys.

  These envoys of the Jingcha... actually don't have much idea about the Jingcha, but occasionally some official documents will be sent to them, telling them where things are going.

  Sometimes, I also invite them to sit down and let everyone brainstorm to see what they think of Jingcha.

nowadays…

  Thirteen Jingcha envoys gathered together.

  Yan Sheng Gong Kong Wenshao came, he smiled at everyone, he was a very easy-going person.

  British Duke Zhang Mao and Cheng Guogong didn't know much about this matter, so they thought they were here to make up the numbers.

  Shou Ninghou was on the side, but he was yelling that he was hungry, Zhu Houzhao glared at the uncle, and he stopped talking.

  Ouyang Zhi sat quietly in the corner.

  As for Liang Chu, he still looks like he is indifferent to the world.

  Xiao Jing also reluctantly came, and even reluctantly sat with Liu Jin.

  Although he was smiling, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, who are we and who is Liu Jin?

  The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mu Bin, had a stern face, with a gloomy look on his face.

  Chen Tianjin seemed rather proud, stroking his beard leisurely. Those who can sit here are not idle people. I am respected by Fang Jifan, a dog, but...

  Chen Tianjin still thinks that the Jingcha is louder than the rain, which is also very good, it is better not to make a fuss, not only has the name of the Jingcha envoy, but also saves trouble, isn't that good?

  Fang Jifan saw Chen Tianjin, and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Chen, how are you?"

  Chen Tianjin pursed his lips, turned his face away on purpose, and acted as if he was too casual, the old man has nothing to do with you, don't spoil the old man's name.

  Fang Jifan was not annoyed, the crown prince sat at the top, Fang Jifan coughed: "His Royal Highness, everyone is here, can we start to finalize the case file now?"

Zhu Houzhao seemed very excited: "Okay, from now on, everyone is not allowed to leave, until the more than 300 fraudulent cases are settled, and they can't leave. There are soldiers on duty outside, and even a fly can't fly out." .”

  His Royal Highness's words immediately aroused many people's whispers.

  What's going on?

  What more than 300 cases?

  What do you want to do?

  Why don't you let people go?

  Chen Tianjin's heart sank... No.
