Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 254 Centipede Insect
Qin Wangfu.

This is the palace of Huizhou Prefecture.

Therefore, insiders generally call this place the Palace of King Qin.

At this time, Zhu Xi came here.

The accompanying persons included Zheng Caiwei, Zheng's mother, and Han Qinghe.

Of course, Xin Ying is naturally inseparable.

In addition, it is a personal guard team.

But there are still some people.

These people are all officials of Huizhou Prefecture.

However, these were all people who were transferred here last month and were selected by Yao Guangxiao.

Yao Guangxiao once had a debate with Zhu Xi.

The theme of the debate is the impact of some humanistic changes in the current era of Lingnan.

Among them, Yao Guangxiao mentioned that every year, two groups of people are selected from the university to serve in the localities.

Yao Guangxiao said: "In Lingnan now, people are not ashamed of pursuing profit, but are proud of it. The changes brought about by this atmosphere are significant. It is precisely because of this that Lingnan can develop so rapidly... Everyone knows If you want to make money, everyone has learned how to make money, so the wealth of Lingnan is increasing day by day. Therefore, the land of Lingnan can change from a small one in one day to a big one in three days. However, the entire society now has such a trend. For these For students who have just stepped out of school and are about to enter the official service, it is a bit difficult.”

"Society is a big dye vat!" Zhu Ping didn't have any objections to his words.

But Zhu Xi disagreed with what happened next.

Yao Guangxiao finally said: "So, it is inevitable for officials to be corrupt. What's more, the punishment for corruption in Lingnan, which is ruled by His Highness, is not as serious as that of the imperial court. Therefore, when many officials first left the university, they were like a piece of pure gold. Yu, but not long after taking office, they began to become tactful. In another month, or two or three months, they would dare to start corruption. This kind of chaos has appeared more than once... Your Highness, should we, Follow the example of the imperial court and severely punish these people, as an example to others?"

Yao Guangxiao's idea is to make the punishment heavier.

Zhu Feng immediately disagreed. He said seriously: "According to the setting of my father, officials who embezzle five taels of silver will be imprisoned, and those who embezzle dozens of taels of silver will be skinned and stuffed as grass. Then some officials will be sentenced to death if they are embezzled enough." After getting the money, you will die anyway, will you take risks? This is only one of the reasons. The other is that some people are just a little greedy for money, but they also have abilities and abilities. The so-called gold is not enough, and no one is perfect. He was killed with a stick, right? Therefore, if he makes a mistake, we can punish him and correct his mistake."

"If this is the case, it may be very difficult to clear up the administration of officials." Yao Guangxiao expressed his concern.

Because, he has been doing the work in this area all along.

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "If the water is clear, there will be no fish... Of course, it is indeed a good thing that there are no corrupt officials in the local area to prey on the people, but it depends on us, not them. How to supervise and how to put an end to these corrupt practices , is what we have to do. In the future, when telephones and televisions are popularized, and the Internet is also popularized, then every common person can become a monitor of our Ming Dynasty, and it is best to let society supervise it. As for the law In terms of law, there is no need to amend it.”

Although Zhu Fang refuted Yao Guangxiao's opinion, it also illustrates a problem...

Corrupt officials are truly inexhaustible!
why?
The reason is that officials in the DPRK are also human beings.

If you are a human being, you will have seven emotions and six desires.

Will be dominated by desire.

Today, Zhu Ping called all these officials over to teach them a lesson.

"The public begets enlightenment, and integrity begets authority. If you are well paid, the people will care for you. It is easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for God to bully..."

Zhu Xi was telling them the famous sayings of Meng Chang, the last lord of Shu.

At this time, someone came in to report.

After hearing this, Zhu Xi nodded and said: "Let them come in!"

At this time, Zhu Ming, dressed in a cloth shirt, looked like a teacher.

Soon, Xiang Hai and several others were brought in.

But Zhu Yu didn't look at them, but continued: "I believe you have learned the meaning of these sixteen characters many times in school, and your teachers have also taught you many times! So today , this king will not say much... This king asked you to come here, just to tell you that these so-called warning words are actually meaningless. In short, if you make a mistake, it is unfair or dishonest, Whether you will be punished or not is actually up to me!” These words shocked many people!

As expected of you, His Highness the King of Qin.

You really don't play by the rules.

There was so much foreshadowing before, and a lot of talk about how everyone must be fair and honest as officials in the future, but then the conversation changed here, and you said that all those previous words were actually nonsense?

If you make a mistake, you decide whether or not to be punished, and how to punish it...

In other words, the final right of interpretation lies with you!
At this time, Zhu Xi finally looked at Xiang Hai and the others.

Then Zhu Xi began to name names: "Xiang Hai, Shen Quan, Lu Zhong, Luo Yang...Chen Jinxiu. I believe everyone knows these people, right?"

Just kidding, these people are all officials in Huizhou Prefecture.

Some people are in the financial yamen.

Some are in the transportation yamen.

But many of them are in the Inspectorate, Inspection, and Punishment Departments.

It can be said that these few people happen to be everyone's immediate bosses.

Who wouldn’t know it?

"I, the king, will first talk about this Chen Jinxiu."

Zhu Ming said loudly: "Chen Jinxiu took advantage of his position to not only collude with the evil forces and demand money, but also to have dealings with the traitors of the imperial court...According to Ming Dynasty law, this is a crime of treason and rebellion! Therefore, Chen Jinxiu was dismissed immediately. Investigate and investigate, and when the culprit is caught and the evidence is conclusive, he will be executed immediately!"

Chen Jinxiu was dumbfounded when he heard Zhu Ming's words.

Treason?

rebel?

This is a death penalty!

Chen Jinxiu immediately shouted: "It's unfair! Your Highness, I... it's unfair!"

He is still complaining.

It’s no longer enough not to cry out for injustice.

"How have I wronged you?" Zhu Xi asked.

Chen Jinxiu immediately knelt down and said: "Your Highness, please look into it... I have indeed committed corruption, but there is no rebellion! Since Your Highness said that I have rebelled, please provide evidence."

As expected, they all studied in university.

At this time, Chen Jinxiu is still asking for evidence.

"I would like to ask you whether brothers Jiang Jiuli and Jiang La have colluded with you?" Zhu Xi asked.

Upon hearing these two names, Chen Jinxiu's eyes tightened.

He was keenly aware of the problem.

Could it be said that these two people are the so-called rebels?

Then he definitely can't admit it!
