Zhenwu was very clear about the purpose of the crowd. After adjusting the civil and military officials, he left Beijing for half a month and returned to Beijing for a while. Lao Eighth and Lao Thirteen came to report on the trends of the capital during this period. This was the meaning of the title. Lao Eighteenth should have come to the Beijing newspaper for advertisements.

The Minister of Revenue Ga Mintu, the Minister of Justice Lai Du, and the Censorate of the Censorate Kuixu, these three people should have come to provide disaster relief. Now only one of these three departments is in charge of the Ministry. The Censor of the Censorate Zhao Shenqiao observes the style in various northern provinces. The Minister of Han of the Ministry of Justice Hu Huien took leave to return home to move to the grave. The Minister of Han of the Ministry of Revenue was originally Zhang Penghong, but he has been empty since he was promoted to Grand Secretary. Zhenwu has no suitable candidate for the time being, so he is just empty, which is actually equivalent to being both Zhang Penghong.

As for the gathering of ministers in the study, it is very likely that they are here to fight. The family of officials who invaded disaster relief money and grain were executed, and the discussion of donation system was difficult for them to accept. Moreover, it may be that they were asking for rain. He did not have the leisure to see each other, so he simply discussed it together to save time and effort.

Soon, Prince Lian, Yinsi and others entered one after another. After politely calling the Holy An at the door, they were divided into three rows and knelt on the white felt blanket where the matter was. Zhenwu glanced at everyone, but did not give them a seat to appreciate tea as usual. He let them kneel down and pondered for a moment, and then said, "The court affairs were complicated during this period, so can the Beijing News be busy?"

When Zhenwu heard that the first question was the Beijing News, the fifteenth old man Yinzhen was quite surprised. Zhenwu knew all this in the Beijing News, so why did he ask in public? He reacted quickly and immediately realized that Zhenwu might have adjusted the Beijing News. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, after three years of continuous development, the scale of the Beijing News is no longer the same as before. Now, it can print tens of thousands of copies a day, and it is no problem to publish it every three days."

Zhenwu nodded slightly and pondered for a moment. He said, "The Beijing News is the main way for local officials and gentry to understand the court's policies. If you can publish it every three days, then you can fix it. You will publish it every three days in the future. This will facilitate the local government to quickly and promptly understand the trends of the court.

In addition, the decrees of various businesses, salt merchants in donating money and severely punishing officials of corruption, disaster relief, disaster relief, and disaster relief must be published in the newspapers as soon as possible. The Beijing newspapers must also customize a detailed system for advertising."

"I respect the orders of the poor minister." Yinzhen hurriedly bowed.

When they heard this, the ministers in the study were anxious. If Zhenwu's decree was published in the world, there would be no room for maneuver. They rushed to wait for this, and they had such concerns. At this moment, Wang Shu said in a deep voice: "Report to the emperor, the corruption of officials is the fundamental reason for the corruption of the official system. Officials who invade disaster relief money and food are even more conscientious and shameless. The weak ministers also hate such inhumane officials. Severe punishment of such officials will not only benefit the court, but also benefit the people of the world. Even if they are ruthless, it is not an exaggeration.

However, the punishment is not as good as the bride, the officials have committed crimes, the crime is not as good as the parents. The disaster is not as good as the wife and children, and the officials have corrupt and abused the law. What crimes are the parents, wives and children? I beg the emperor to be careful."

Seeing Wang Fei's words so directly, Ma Qi couldn't help but complain secretly, fearing that he would anger Zhenwu, so he would have no room for mediation. He hurriedly followed: "The emperor is kind and kind, cherishes his people, and sympathizes with his subordinates. He is well aware of the officials' corruption in disaster relief money and food, which is very harmful, and he will be severely punished. All the people and the government applaud. However, if the emperor is so kind, it would be worth the loss.

The family members of the offender are also the emperor's people. How can the emperor bear to be punished without guilt? The slave prays that the emperor will turn the beheading of the whole family to raid the house. This will not only shock the officials, but also not harm the emperor's name of benevolence."

Zhenwu didn't care about his reputation. The administration of officials is a big article. In recent years, the world has been peaceful and the people have been rich. Kangxi continued to implement lenient governance. The officials have become greedy for bribery. The reason why he insisted on severely punishing officials who invaded disaster relief money and food was to make fewer mistakes in this disaster relief, and also intended to make excuses to lay the groundwork for the future rectification of the administration.

Seeing that Zhenwu was not moved, Xiao Yongzao knew that the two of them had not said the idea, so he hurriedly said: "If today's peace and peace in the country are all because of the emperor's kindness. Once the emperor's decree is published in the world, the gentry and people will inevitably be uneasy and doubt that the way to lenient government is changed. The most worrying thing is that local officials are calculating the will of the saints and invite favors with strict harshness to seek happiness. In this way, the people will inevitably be resentful, which will hurt the emperor's kindness and kindness and compassion for the people. The servant kneels to pray for the emperor to think twice." As he said that, he kowtowed repeatedly.

Hearing this, Zhenwu's face became solemn. Xiao Yongzao's words were at the point. When the new king ascended the throne, the local officials were watching. If he wanted favor with strictness, the gentry and the people would suffer. Besides, Kangxi was still there, so he could not suddenly change leniently to strictness. This is not a problem of fear, but a problem of benevolence and filial piety. Besides, he did not want to implement severe punishment laws, which would cast a shadow on the prosperous Qing Dynasty. Since ancient times, he has never heard of a prosperous era under severe punishment laws.

Seeing Zhenwu's solemn expression, Zhang Penghong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that Zhenwu was a little shaken. He pondered slightly and said, "The emperor has been focusing on farming, promoting sea trade, and advocating Western learning for many years. All of them are governing leniently. If the gentry misunderstood, it will be changed to strictness. The weak ministers may have the concern of giving up halfway."

Zhenwu nodded slightly. Under severe punishment and strict laws, it is extremely unfavorable to the prosperity of academics and economic development. It cannot misunderstand the gentry and the people. Even if the government is rectified in the future, it will be necessary to use the Beijing News to promote it. Now this relaxed scene is not easy.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "My original intention is to use severe punishments and laws to deter a group of corrupt officials. Since it is easy to be misinterpreted by local officials and misunderstood by gentry and people, he will turn the whole family into a house and write an article in the Beijing newspaper, stating the harm of corruption and invasion of disaster relief money and food, and the court's negation of pursuing discipline and severe punishment of corrupt officials."

When everyone heard this, they were all very happy. Ma Qi hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The emperor is wise, polite, compassionate with the people, and follows advice like a stream. This is actually a blessing for the Qing Dynasty."

At the beginning of his life, the crowd was naturally unwilling to fall behind, and immediately chanted in a tide. However, because they were kneeling and thinking about their knees, everyone was very conscious and clicked to the point.

Zhenwu glanced at everyone. Since he had given up, there was no need to bother them anymore. After taking a sip of tea, he smiled and said, "Let's just flat."

The ministers were immediately as if they were pardoned, and they stood up. Zhenwu pondered for a moment and said eruditely: "Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, used severe punishments and harsh laws to rectify the administration of officials, and even torture corrupt officials with skinned daylily, but they could only achieve temporary results. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, corrupt officials were still everywhere. How could I follow the lessons of the past?

After decades of hard work, the Qing Dynasty is now rich in people and wealth, and corrupt officials are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and they are emerging in batches. Now, from the capital to the local area, corruption and bribery have become a trend. The root cause is human nature. Greed is the nature of human beings. Strict punishments and harsh laws can only be effective for a moment, and severe punishments and harsh laws are not beneficial to the people and cannot be implemented for a long time. However, how can officials effectively curb corruption and bribery?

Only supervision and effective supervision can prevent corruption among officials for a long time. If the Qing Dynasty wants to avoid being tainted by these corrupt officials, it must formulate a set of effective supervision methods. This matter will be discussed in the study room and must be innovative on the basis of punishing corruption in the past dynasties."

When the ministers heard that Zhenwu had no intention of changing lenient to strictness, the ministers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as they did not implement strict punishments and harsh laws, everything would be easy to say. At that moment, the ministers in the study bowed together and said, "I will receive the order."

Zhenwu nodded slightly, scanned Fu Ning'an, Minister of Revenue Gamintu, Minister of Justice Lai Du, Minister of Justice, and Minister of the Left Censor of the Censorate, and asked: "I have already ordered you four to take charge of this relief. Now it has been six days. What progress has it been?"

Fu Ning'an was the minister of the study room, and naturally the leader of the four. After receiving the order, he rushed back to the capital from Tianjin. In the past few days, he had been discussing and making arrangements with the three people. After hearing this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Return to the emperor, the memorials of the disaster reporting in various prefectures and counties have only been sent to the capital in sporadic times. In the past few days, the three of them will join Gamintu, Laidu and Kuixu, and they will select officials and students in the Censorate, the Six Ministry, and the Imperial College, and have ordered them to go to various provinces in batches to understand the situation. As soon as they receive the memorials, they will quickly pass on the arrangements."

Seeing that they were moving very quickly, Zhenwu said with a slight hint: "Tell them that it is time to punish corrupt officials, and the main one is to help the people. Don't be reversed. He is dedicated to arresting corrupt officials and ignores the people's relief situation. He ordered the supervisors of all prefectures to make investigation records every day, and the information is directly transmitted back to the capital through the transmission personnel of the Beijing News."

Hearing that the investigation and supervision records were sent directly back to the capital, the left censor of the Censorate, Kuixu, said in a deep voice: "Report to the emperor, the four slaves discussed that they were stationed in one province to be responsible for relief matters. If they could not understand the relief situation of the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction in a timely manner, if there is any omission, they would not be able to take timely remedial measures?"

Zhenwu glanced at Kuixu. This person was the son of Nalan Mingzhu, a great-grandson who was once powerful in the Kangxi Dynasty. In the 35th year of Kangxi, he was promoted to the Hanlin Academy by the guards. He was promoted to the post of the Hanlin Academy and was appointed as the Minister of Rites. He was later promoted to the position of the Minister of Rites and was appointed as the Minister of Rites. In the 47th year of Kangxi, he was promoted to the Right Minister of Works and later to the Left Minister of Works. In the 51st year of Kangxi, he was moved to the Left Minister of the Censorate of the Censorate of the Hanlin Academy and was still in charge of the Hanlin Academy.

When Nalan Mingzhu was in charge of the government, his power was burning, and there were many disciples and old officials. Therefore, Kuixu also had a wide range of friendships and had many connections in the court. More importantly, he was a hard-core supporter of Lao Ba and his relationship with Lao Jiu was also extraordinary.

After pondering slightly, Zhen Wucai said: "The Beijing News was forwarded by the provincial government to various prefectures and counties, and the investigation records of a group of supervisors were available in duplicate."

When the four of them heard this, they hurriedly bowed to take the order.

Yinzhen secretly complained in his heart. The Beijing News transmission staff also have such a role. When you go back, you have to give some advice to the Tang officials in various northern provinces. If this matter is leaked, the hard work of the past three years will be in vain. In the current situation, maybe after the drought, the 14th brother may reward the brothers with great rewards. At this critical moment, there must be no mistake. {Piaotian Wenxue www.piaotian.net Thanks to all book friends for their support. Your support is our greatest motivation}
