The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 363
For those in power, nothing can be done on a whim.Whatever you do, you must have an opportunity.

For example, for a time traveler like Guan Yi, although he is not a law major.But he lives in an era of information explosion, and his legal concepts may be at the middle or lower level in modern society.But compared with the jurists of ancient Greece and Rome, it may not be so bad.That being the case, he wants to inject some advanced concepts of Greek and Roman civilization into the traditional Chinese civilization, can't he just do it himself?
Can be can.But in doing so, the effect is very poor, because everyone will have doubts or even resistance.One bad thing will cause the whole people to oppose it.

What if Li Mi's huge mission came back with envoys and books from Rome and Persia?Then it's completely different: Oh, it turns out that there are really countries in the world that don't have emperors.It turns out that there are still countries in the world that can get rich without farming and grazing.It turns out that there are still countries in the world whose civilization is not inferior to ours... Then Guan Da Sima wants to do something, and it will get twice the result with half the effort.Not only that, in this process, if Sima Guan wanted to add some private goods, it would be easier.

The official style of Yongliang is far worse than that of Yizhou.In fact, Guan Yi had already noticed that Da Sima was no longer the little prefect of the past.In the past few months, people from various counties and counties have come down, and Da Sima knows very well what the local officials are like.But if it is clear, it should not be heavy handed: on the one hand, the most important theme in the Yongliang area for the past six months is stability.On the other hand, there is a lack of an opportunity: if there is no such thing as Qiao Xi and Zhang Hui, the ICAC will be established directly.The local officials in Yongliang must be very dissatisfied: Why, discriminate against us northerners?And the officials in the Yizhou area in the past must have been dissatisfied: Why, you didn’t do this when everyone was suffering, but now that life is a little easier, you just do this.
But now with the Qiao Xi case, it is different.Da Sima's brother-in-law has been beaten to the end, what else do you have to say?The children of the local aristocratic family emptied the county magistrate, put aside the country's policy of benefiting the people, and used natural disasters to cause greater man-made disasters, thereby expanding their estates.Is such a bad nature bad?Shouldn't it be strictly controlled?Shouldn't a new department be established to strictly investigate?
It is not that no one raised objections to the establishment of the ICAC with great powers.But in the face of the Qiao Xi case, all opposition was reduced to dust.

It's not that no one questioned Guan Yi's way of reporting the case to the whole people in the form of a public report: If the troublemakers know about this, won't they lose confidence in the government?Enemy countries like Jin and Wu know about this and don't make a big fuss about it and slander us as corrupt officials?
But in Guan Yi's view, such objections are all nonsense: Do you really think the common people are idiots?If you don't report this matter, so that similar things won't happen?Don't ordinary people feel it?Instead, the communiqué let the common people know: "Oh, so the government is against this kind of thing. We should report to the ICAC when we encounter such things in the future." Only in this way can we better prevent similar things from happening.

As for Jin Wu taking this matter to slander Ji Han?The same reasoning: the common people in Jin and Wu are not stupid.When they saw something like this, their first reaction was: Why did Ji Han resolutely suppress such things, but the government of his country didn't care about it and even liked to see it succeed?
Just like before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was a widely circulated ballad in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Hair is like a leek, cut back to life. The head is like a chicken, cut and sing again; officials need not be feared, and ordinary people should never be taken lightly." The literacy rate in this era is not high, and the exchange of information is not developed, so people think that ordinary people are stupid.People who have that kind of thinking, if they don't get retribution, their descendants will also get retribution sooner or later.

All in all, take advantage of the east wind of the Qiao Xi case.The ICAC, which Sima Guan had always wanted in his heart, was established.

In June 269 AD, after the release of the "Decree on the Establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption" by the Da Sima Mansion.Ji Han's officialdom and even the people of the whole country were blinded by the huge power and generous treatment of the ICAC.

The institution is divided into four levels.The first level is the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is directly subordinate to Da Sima himself.The chief officer is called Da Lian envoy, who is directly responsible to Da Sima himself.The annual salary is genuine Wanshi.Unless dereliction of duty or physical reasons can not undertake the work, its term of office is life.

Under the Dalian envoy, there are three departments, namely the execution, prevention and introduction.As the name suggests, they are respectively in charge of investigation and evidence collection, preventive education and reception of reports.

The state has a state incorruptible envoy, who is at the same level as the state governor.The annual salary is more than ten thousand stones, and its appointment is vertically appointed by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, not under the jurisdiction of the state governor.

The county has the county incorruptible envoy, and the county has the county incorruptible envoy.Both were enemies with the prefect and county magistrate of the same county.All levels of incorruptible envoys have their own officials directly under them.

The financial support of the Lianshi Yamen at all levels is directly allocated by the Da Sima Mansion according to the actual income of the year and according to a certain proportion.In this way, the relative independence of the ICAC's personnel power and financial power is guaranteed.And anyone who has been in the system knows that if these two powers are independent, then this department will basically run amok.

"Maotong, how about it, I have won enough convenient rights for you under great pressure."

Guan Yi said that he was really not being hypocritical when he said that he was under great pressure: although Da Sima was covering the sky inside Ji Han.But there is also opposition.Among other things, the emperor in Chengdu had a lot of little things in his heart.Holding high the banner of anti-corruption at this time, I don’t know how many officials who have been vacillating before will make up their minds to move closer to His Majesty the Emperor: Your Majesty, it is too much for Da Sima to doubt our integrity so much.Please also show your majesty the power of the dragon and wipe out this lunatic Guan Zifeng to destroy the three clans.In this way, we honest gentlemen can serve you without supervision!
"Grand Sima, I am very grateful! Please rest assured, Da Sima. With the ICAC, it may not be possible for the big man to be absolutely clean, but the overall cleanliness, and even the official style and political style surpassed the time when the prime minister was in power. The next official has a deep sense. Confidence."

"Well, I don't know if you've noticed? The ICAC actually only has procuratorial powers but not ruling or enforcement powers."

"The lower officials have already noticed it. The lower officials also think it's good. Otherwise, the power of the ICAC is too great, which will cause the corruption of the ICAC itself."

"Yes. I received a letter from Ling Bo from Shule some time ago. If they go well at this time, they should have arrived in Sasan. I think they will return in the second half of next year. I will re-establish the Han Law by then. Then set up a new department and make the judiciary independent."

"I understand. At this stage, after the ICAC finds out a problem, it still needs to be ruled and executed by the local county government, the prefect's office, and the governor's office. There are bound to be many disadvantages in this. But these disadvantages will definitely be the order. After Uncle came back, Da Sima rebuilt the sharp weapon of the Han law."

"Hahahaha~~Maotong, you are absolutely right. It is only when the ICAC and the current administrative agencies at all levels continue to wrestle with each other that this official can have the possibility of independent judicial power. It is only a year and a half, you want I feel more wronged."

"It's okay, this is what the officials are willing to accept. It's just the staff of the Lianshi Yamen?"

"Well, I will draw enough personnel from the Lang Guan in the imperial court, the Si Wen envoy of Si Wen Cao Li, and the personnel laid off from the former Si Yan Xiaowei's Mansion to fill you up with the yamen at all levels. Lang Guan Most of them are young, and young people are full of ideals, daring to think and do. The people from Siwencao are good at inquiring about information and collecting evidence. And the people from Siyan Xiaowei’s Mansion, hehe, they used to be more or less related to corrupt ink, and they have nothing to do with corrupt officials. They are very familiar with the means. With their participation, Maotong's work will be more effective with less effort!"

"Da Sima's arrangement is very precise! Uh, I still have something to ask you."

"please say."

"The ICAC is a newcomer, and please ask Da Sima to write an inscription on the door couplet of the ICAC like the two colleges of Longshouyuan and Wuzhangyuan."

"...Well~~ I won't mention the door link. Let me write six characters for the ICAC. I can put him on the wall of every office of the ICAC."

"Great Sima, please show me."

Guan Yi asked someone to get a brush and ink, and wrote the six characters "open, fair, and just" very seriously.

"Maotong, the two words of integrity must be achieved. First of all, it must be open. Put everything under the sun. This must start with the ICAC itself."

"...Da Sima, the subordinate officials understand. After the ICAC personnel are in place, first of all, starting from the subordinate officials, everyone discloses their private property and family relationship. The amount of property is updated every year. In addition, all cases, under the protection of reporting Under the premise of people, it should be disclosed as much as possible.”

"Very good, that's exactly the case. Only with openness can fairness and justice be achieved. The quality of the ICAC's work will be guaranteed if Sangong has done it. However, to disclose one's private property, hehe, not everyone is willing."

"Then there is no way. Since you are going to be an incorruptible envoy and you are not even incorruptible, how can you ask others? The lower officials will make it clear to those who plan to join the ICAC yamen, and those who are unwilling or not to declare their personal property truthfully will not be allowed to join the ICAC." It is better for the ICAC to be temporarily short of manpower than to let this standard be lowered. Only when ICAC personnel are supervised by everyone at all times can ICAC personnel be able to police themselves at all times!"

　Today, more than 30 years ago, is Jiaci's Good Friday.In a blink of an eye, he was one year older.The dead are like husbands, never giving up day and night.
