Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 260 Chen Yunfu talks about managing politics for an official

Chen Yunfu did not enter Luojiazhuang, he had no intention of entering it from the beginning to the end.

There were too many accompanying officials this time, and he didn't want to disturb the people of Luojiazhuang. Most importantly, he didn't know how to deal with the dozen or so families who lost their children, husbands, and fathers back then.

Let time dilute and heal the wound, Chen Yunfu doesn't want to be the villain who exposes the scars.

He took a group of officials and returned to the city in a carriage.

There is also a symposium with the officials of the Henan Chief Political and Envoy Division that has not yet been held.

In a spacious bright hall, two new national flags of the Ming Dynasty were hung symmetrically on the wall. Such a layout made Chen Yunfu's thoughts seem to be brought back to later generations in an instant.

"Everyone, sit down."

Yang Shiqi opened a chair for Chen Yunfu, and the latter sat down on the only high seat without hesitation. In front of him, a dozen senior officials from the Henan Chief Commissioner sat down in sequence.

This time, all the officials learned to be smart, and each of them prepared a copy of paper and pen.

Chen Yunfu sipped his tea lightly, coughed and said.

"Before, we talked about the benevolence and self-encouragement of being an official. Next, let's talk about what it means to be diligent."

"As I said before, let's not discuss the literal meaning of diligence. We only say that how to implement the core meaning of diligence into actual actions is the key."

"The sage once said, 'Don't eat every day, just sit and wait for the day'. This is the highest ideal requirement but it is unrealistic. If you don't eat or sleep, then this official will not be able to be an official for a long time. After all, the body is the capital of an official's governance. .”

Everyone laughed out loud.

Although some new vocabulary often pops up in the words of the chief minister of the cabinet above the big guy, but fortunately they are all in plain language, and it is not difficult to understand.

"However, the sage never imagined that after thousands of years of evolution of the so-called officialdom culture and customs, today, the behavior of being diligent in political affairs is despised by colleagues.

On the contrary, poetry, wine and banquets are called romantic and elegant. Isn't this going to two extremes?

If proficiency in poetry and poetry is regarded as a kind of flair and a status for officials who become officials, then Benfu who has no ink and can't even write a doggerel would be ashamed and ashamed. "

Everyone laughed and dared not speak.

"What should Qinzheng do, and what should be done to be called Qinzheng. In a word, if you can't push it away, don't push it away. If you can do it, do it as soon as possible."

"Officials always like to push when they encounter something. You push me, I push him. The common people go around in the middle of several official offices, rolling around like a ball in Cuju. But everyone, you have to remember that the ball No matter how you get out, he's still there.

It doesn't matter if the common people make more trips, but the business that should be yours is still there. The more you save, the more you don't want to do it.

This year's official inspection, Mr. Qi Ge said that he needs to set a quantitative standard for the selection of officials. He is still busy. When Mr. Qi Ge finishes his work, I think I can discuss it with Mr. Qi Ge. This quantitative standard is easy to set. If the work in hand is not finished, they will not be allowed to be transferred for the rest of their lives, or they will resign on the spot. Honsuke feels that this can effectively select and supervise officials. "

A group of people trembled at the same time.

"Diligence is not asking you to observe the people's conditions without eating, drinking or resting for twelve hours a day, but, even if you can handle the affairs in your hands and the affairs of the day, it is already called diligence. It is already a great thing for the common people to burn incense and ask for it.

But officials all over the world, not only do not do it, but also do everything possible to delay and push it, push it to the successor, push it to the subordinate, push it to the colleagues, and when they shirk to the point of accumulating files, they will simply burn them. Clean up, just come out of sight and out of mind.

Then such an official, after eating Guochao's salary, how should he return it to Guochao?

Peeling the real grass made Benfu say that it was too heavy and too strict, so he could do as much labor for the court as he had eaten for years, so that they would complement each other. "

If the people just now were just nervous, they were already dripping with cold sweat at this moment.

The tone of Chen Yunfu's words didn't say anything serious, nor did he say anything too cold. The tone was obviously plain and straightforward, but it made people feel as if they had turned from the three volts in June to the cold winter in an instant.

"Si Mian has finished talking. Next, let's talk about how to be an official and eliminate ten harms for the people."

Yang Shiqi stepped forward to refill a cup of tea for Chen Yunfu, who moistened his dry throat.

"Ten perpetrators: Unjust termination of prison, failure to hear lawsuits, prolonged imprisonment, cruel torture, excessive pursuit, attracting complaints, overlapping tax collection, extorting money through punishment, sending officials to the countryside, and seizing property at a low price.

How should we look at these ten evils, how should we deal with them, and how should we correct them?

There is nothing to say about the injustice of the prison sentence. If you are not greedy, you will not break the law. Whether you are greedy for money, fame, or power, there must be some greed and some waste. This is related to clean governance.

Hearing a lawsuit without a trial is one of the lazy policies. We said before that the diligent policy will not be mentioned here.

The Yanyan prison system itself is also one of the lazy policies. The so-called Yanyan refers to delaying the trial of the prisoners.

Benfu knows, Benfu knows, the so-called king of Hades is easy to see, little ghosts are hard to deal with, untrial prisoners have to be given money by their families for food and drink every day, those who give more food and drink are good, and those who send less are cut off from their food and drink. It won't be long before you starve to death in prison, and you are not afraid that you will not be able to do business.

In this way, they can seek money by asking their family members for property. Benfu is from the Sanju Department. Bensuke is clear.

To get rid of this harm, relying on your locality alone is enough. After returning to Beijing, I will hold a meeting with the Sanju Department on this matter. What your local government should do is to try if you can, and release people if you can't.

There is nothing to say about cruel torture. Benfu also knows that it is difficult to solve and handle cases in localities, and sometimes torture is unavoidable.

This cruel torture is the same as the subsequent flood of chasing and attracting accusations. They all use heavy punishment to quickly solve the case and implicate the accomplices in order to achieve the goal of solving major and serial cases. on a prisoner.

Benfu once saw a very ridiculous case in the Zhaomo Office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. A criminal got up at Yinshi in the morning to steal people's property, and then committed theft, robbery, flower picking, tomb robbery and drunken murder in one day. In many cases, the location of the crime is not in the same county.

This is not a criminal, this is simply heaven and man.

The latter two overlapping tax collections and fines to get money are also almost the same. They are nothing more than clever tricks, relying on the ignorance and ignorance of the people to levy taxes and ask for money.

When the imperial court fights a battle, you have to pay a dime, and every year when the grain tax is collected, you have to waste money. When will the imperial court spend this money?
Pat your conscience more and don't make such stupid mistakes again.

Letting officials go to the countryside means that the people are afraid of evil officials, and fear them like tigers when they see them. But in the end, they are still afraid of officials and the messy means of extorting money that you set up. As long as the officials are upright, they will naturally be able to educate the officials well. The people will not be afraid of going to the countryside again. Not only will the officials go to the countryside, but more will go to the countryside.

What to do in the countryside is to educate the people, tell the people what the court is doing, how to do it, and how it is doing, so that the people can listen and see more.

Removing the ten evils is not only done by the imperial court, the cabinet, and government offices in various provinces and counties, but ordinary people can also follow suit.

The last thing is to steal things at a low price. I don’t even want to talk about this one. Relying on being an official and doing things for the court, it’s a trick to steal. What’s the difference between this approach and bandits? Satisfying my robber heart, I can only be this kind of beast in clothes in the end.

I look forward to all of you, if you have the heart of being honest, benevolent, and diligent, you will have the ability to be an official; if you understand the ten harmful evils and know how to eliminate them, you will be able to manage the government of a county, a government, and a province;
As a courtier and official, I dare not not encourage, dare not not understand, I hope you will do your best. "

Everyone memorized the last word, stood up one after another, and bowed to Chen Yunfu to the end.

"Young master has taught me the order, and the officials and others will keep it in mind, thank you for your enlightenment!"
