Chapter 1115 Strong Suppression of Corruption

Chen Shengzhi, a prime minister with a good official reputation, is honest and has no bad record, and does not even have a great presence in the officialdom. However, even such an inconspicuous person, his family property is conservatively estimated to exceed five or six million.

Similarly, King Hami, a small vassal king far away in the Western Regions, had a very weak sense of existence. There were 1 million taels of gold alone! It was not even considered land and real estate...

Two giant corrupt officials suddenly entered everyone's eyes and shocked the world.

Even Wang Ning'an was unexpected.

He needed to calm down and think about what went wrong... "There is nothing strange about this, I don't feel surprised at all." Wang Rong and Wang Anshi were also discussing this issue.

When Wang Anshi presided over the reform, Wang Rong said that if you want to promote the reform, you just need to kill Wen Yanbo and Jia Changchao...

Of course it seems very naive now, but there are some reasons.

"Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the kings and scholars shared the world. To put it bluntly, they mean sharing the interests... After so many years, the reforms have been constantly reformed and restricted, but it is undeniable that the power of civil servants has continued to increase. At least 80% of the benefits obtained by the reforms have been taken away by a very small number of officials and nobles. The people have obtained very few things and have even suffered serious impacts."

Wang Anshi frowned and was unwilling to admit it.

"Yuanze, you can't say that. Over the years, we have promoted equal land and achieved the land that we have not achieved for thousands of years. This is an amazing moral policy, and the people have still gained a lot of benefits."

Wang Rong grinned, "Dad, although I don't really agree with Wang Ning'an, I have to admit that if there was no equal land order and if there was no division of land, the people would not only not be able to get benefits, but would also be completely drained! This is the last trace of bottom line that has saved the peace of the Song Dynasty, otherwise the Song Dynasty would be...hehe..."

Wang Rong did not continue to say it, but Wang Anshi was speechless, and his son's insight made sense.

Over the years, various interests have developed rapidly, and various interests have poured in from overseas, such as mercury pouring into the earth, and the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky... But so much water and so much benefits are not evenly distributed.

Some of the abilities, those who are in high positions, those who are related to relatives, students, officials, aunts and aunts... These people have their own ways and capital, and even if they don't have them, they can borrow money from banks... In short, they have made a fortune and gained benefits. They are all rich and rich, and they are rich enough to compete with their country.

Of course, ordinary people have made some progress in their lives, but the progress has been too small. Moreover, due to the rising prices and the cost of living increases, almost half of them have no spare money in their hands after a year of busy work.

I dare not eat or wear. I am worried all day long, afraid of losing my job and my way out will be cut off... In the city, even if I die, there is not even a cemetery!

The public is full of grievances and complaints.

Wang Anshi narrowed his eyes and thought for a while.

He said slowly: "The changes are the laws of the ancestors, and the laws passed down for thousands of years... Alas, I am powerless, it depends on whether His Highness Qin can come up with a solution!"

...

Even the always-conceited husband, who was always arrogant, was silent, which shows how difficult this matter is.

Wang Ning'an also diagnosed Da Song, and his conclusions became clearer.

The current bureaucratic system and distribution of interests have not exceeded the pattern since the Qin and Han dynasties... And this set of things was formed in the agricultural era. Now the Song Dynasty has stepped into the threshold of the industrial era with one foot. The times have changed, but the entire bureaucratic system has not kept up.

Take the past as an example. In addition to having a generous salary, the prime minister of the court also had various filial piety, ice respect, charcoal respect, tax exemption, and service exemption... Although many were eliminated, they also retained their tails, especially some people with weak self-discipline ability, and they formed habits and could not be changed.

Just like Chen Shengzhi, he likes gold and stone, so people try their best to give him calligraphy and paintings and good things... He refuses once or twice, and there are always times when he can't refuse.

After receiving the gift, he actually didn't have to do anything. He was a joke and the title of a dignified priest can be exchanged for money. Moreover, there were thousands of orders passed by the Political Affairs Hall, and not everyone had to be watched by the Prime Minister and the Emperor. Chen Shengzhi randomly approved a few projects, and he would benefit from it.

In the past, in the agricultural era, the summer and autumn taxes were just two taxes, and the court had so much budget. If it was divided, it would take advantage of the points and not much money.

Now the economy has developed more than ten times. Commercial taxes flow into the court every moment and flow out of the Ministry of Revenue. It is unimaginable how much benefits there are in the middle... After figuring out these, it is not so surprising to see Chen Shengzhi's property and Zhao Shijiang's accumulation.

"Prince!" Chen Shunzhi said: "All officials are greedy and robbed. This matter seems to have nothing to do with Your Majesty falling into the water, but in fact it has a huge relationship... Just imagine, how can a mere Feng Jing, a Hami King, and 200,000 taels of gold be able to break through all the links and assassinate Your Majesty?"

Chen Shengzhi said heavily: "The Song Dynasty is full of corrupt officials, and they have eaten and drunk enough. His Majesty will continue to fight for victory. Starting from the southeast, they will clean up the mess... These people are afraid and worried, fearing that the fire will burn on their heads. Therefore, they either instigate secretly, pretend to be stupid or add fuel to the fire. In short, these people are to blame for the murder of His Majesty!"

Among the pile of crows, a white one suddenly appeared. Those people didn't want to dye him black. How could they feel at ease?

When the other party is the emperor and cannot be shaken, choose to destroy it... It's really amazing!

Wang Ning'an's face was solemn. He thought a lot. Throughout history, there are many examples of this kind. They are prosperous and declining, and their country is destroyed and their families are destroyed. There are so many lessons, but no one is willing to learn from them!

It's so sad!

"Old Chen, it's time to take a ruthless move!"

Wang Ning'an seemed to be asking, and seemed to be talking to himself. His voice was not high, but it cheered Chen Shunzhi up!

He knew that the prince was going to play really!

Last time, Wang Ning'an took the initiative to abdicate and handed over the court to someone else.

Wang Ning'an thought that he hoped to rely on natural evolution to find a way to the Song Dynasty... But now it seems that he is too optimistic. A huge empire can not change that easily!

Since I can't do it, let me do it myself!

The decentralization of power over the years has not been ineffective.

At least the Political Consultative Conference appeared, the power fell into the hands of the Political Affairs Hall, and the new policy has become stronger...

The new power structure allows Wang Ning'an to make drastic moves and make complete reforms!

"Get Chen Sheng's sacrifice flag first!"

Wang Ning'an put forward opinions on Chen Sheng's case... Although Chen Shengzhi did not have any serious evil or specific cases, he was greedy and had a scary property, so he was never innocent.

Wang Ning'an asked to confiscate Chen Shengzhi's property and be exiled to the island prison for 30 years!

The Ministry of Justice, in line with Wang Ning'an's intention, announced the results of the handling of Chen Sheng's case.

The entire Song Dynasty was in an uproar!

Although he had executed important officials at the top of the prime minister in the past, those people, without exception, were involved in the dispute over imperial power and committed a big taboo.

And what about Chen Shengzhi?

He was not in conflict with the world, and during his tenure, he was honest and basically followed Wang Ning'an's arrangements.

In everyone's opinion, no matter how big the fault is, he should give up such a person, fines or bans, and the meaning is that he is. How can he be exiled to the island? That's worse than death?

You should know that the territory of the Song Dynasty has been vast in recent years. It is not only the overlord on land, but also controls countless islands.

On some islands, the Song Dynasty set up special prisons because they were surrounded by sea and were isolated from the world, and they were not worried that prisoners would escape... Usually, those countries destroyed by the Song Dynasty, princes, nobles, and captured generals were arranged on the islands and lived their lives for the rest of their lives.

Like Chen Shengzhi, the priest and husband who enjoys wealth and wealth, went to the island prison, was even more uncomfortable than killing him!

It's been 30 years!

I'm afraid I can't survive even three years!

"Prince, please spare me! Prince, give me a way out!"

Chen Shengzhi cried and knelt on the ground, constantly hitting the wooden railing with his head, and his head was broken, blood flowed out, condensed on the wood, forming a horrifying dark red!

Chen Shengzhi cried for three days, no one pleaded for him, and there was no room for maneuver in the case.

Three days later, Chen Shengzhi was taken away from Luoyang and sent directly to Haizhou. There was a boat there, which would send Chen Shengzhi to a deserted island thousands of miles away. If nothing unexpected happened, Chen Xianggong had to spend the rest of his life with the monkey!

...

"Oh, it's so cruel!"

Wen Yanbo was in Kaifeng. When Chen Shengzhi passed by, he secretly went to take a look. When he came back, the people were talking excitedly on the way, which was so satisfying that no one applauded.

Lao Wen really felt fear, what is the point of being pointed by thousands of people, what is the word of a person that makes gold, what is the accumulation of bones?... The people have long been angry and full of complaints.

Anyone who still feels that he has passed the Jinshi exam by relying on his real skills and has been studying hard for ten years, Yan Ruyu and the Golden House deserve it, that is, he is a brainless person!

Look at it!

Chen Shengzhi is the beginning, and I don’t know how many people are going to be unlucky!

When Lao Wen returned to his residence, he simply stopped studying books. This man changed his bookstore into a school and personally recruited students and gave lectures. He also opened a few pieces of land to plant vegetables.

Fortunately, I have developed a lot of skills in Ruzhou and I am familiar with it easily.

Mr. Wen had thought about it and had to show peace of mind, be content with poverty and be self-sufficient. Otherwise, who would know when a gust of wind blew on his head, and he would not want to be with the monkey.

In fact, it would be easier for people in the world to be as smart as Wen Yanbo.

But there are a lot of people who don’t believe in evil. They think that the court has rectified the administration of officials before. After so many years, it’s not a big deal!

Especially Wang Tao, he felt that he was honest and impeccable, and no one could do anything to him!

But he underestimated the strength of this rectification!

"Mr. Wang, we have received a report. You have appointed a private person and stuffed your nephew into the Imperial College. Please go to the Censorate immediately and explain the matter clearly!"
