"Your Majesty, now that the world is unified, do you want to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate it?" Tian Feng asked.

After defeating Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu had no intention of leaving Hebei and kept patrolling various states.

"What, is anyone anxious?" Yuan Shu put down the tea in his hand and said calmly.

Tian Feng smiled bitterly: "Yuan Shao has been destroyed and the world is at peace. There are naturally many people who want to receive merit and rewards, and be granted the title of marquis and Prime Minister."

"The world, what is the world?" Yuan Shu said calmly: "The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are just a corner of the world. Liaodong, the Western Regions, the southwest countries, Shendu, Guishang, An'an, and Rome are all part of the world. They cannot be swept away.

, talk about the world?"

"The road ahead is long. Your Majesty, while looking into the distance, should also keep your feet on the ground. In any case, the unification of the Han Dynasty is also a great event, and it should be congratulated to inform the people of the world and to comfort all ministers."

"I understand." Yuan Shu sighed softly: "My goal is far more than that. Rome and Parthia are far apart and difficult for me to reach, but I vow to capture the other countries. I don't want anyone to take them down at this time.

Then we lost our fighting spirit, and Da Chu’s true hegemony has just begun.”

"It is convenient for this grand ceremony to be held in Chang'an. Chang'an has been repaired for several years and is now complete. It is time to move the imperial capital to it. Although Jinling is good, it is indeed a bit biased. My future focus will be in the west, and Jinling will be the imperial capital.

But it’s inappropriate.”

"Well. The Chang'an Imperial Palace has been renovated, and the official residences, shopping streets, etc. have all been improved based on the Jinling design. The entire Chang'an City is twice as large as the Jinling City. It can be called an unprecedented majestic city. It is absolutely

He is qualified to be our imperial capital of Great Chu. Who do you plan to recruit to participate this time?"

"Let the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce each send out representatives. The states, counties, and hierarchies will each elect their own representatives based on their performance. Each legion will also send out some representatives to prepare for flag presentation and military parade." Yuan Shu directly copied what he had done in his previous life.

"In addition, a new list of all the soldiers who died in the battle since I started from Jiangdong will be compiled again. No one should be missing. The pensions for their relatives should be re-checked. If there is any misappropriation and personal possession, everyone involved in the case, regardless of official position

No matter how high or low, they will all be sentenced to life imprisonment. They will be dragged to the mine to mine for me until they die to atone for their sins. No one is allowed to plead for mercy." Yuan Shu said harshly.

"Your Majesty, do you know everything?" Tian Feng said solemnly.

"I'm not blind! These people have begun to seek personal gain before the world is pacified. They even dare to embezzle the money and food of the martyrs' survivors. If I don't destroy these three tribes, it will be easier for them."

Corruption can never be completely eradicated. Yuan Shu knew this very well. But he did not expect that when he was in power, there would be so many greedy people who would even dare to take care of the pensions for the survivors of martyrs.

"Your Majesty, our country is extremely wealthy now. This is a good thing, but it has also caused a lot of problems. The interests are too huge. Although your Majesty has vigorously dealt with corruption problems with iron and blood, countless officials still go ahead and embezzle money and food. Because of this paragraph

Over time, we have focused on state affairs and relaxed a little bit on the corruption issue. Now, there are already some bad signs." Tian Feng said with a tired look.

He is a person who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes. There are more and more corrupt officials in Dachu. Although he wants to solve the problem, he is unable to do anything. This is the pain caused by too fast development. It can be solved by using a large number of talented scholars from poor families.

This has solved the problem of lack of management talents. However, after all, the moral quality of poor people is uneven, and many of them are even weak-minded.

People from humble backgrounds tend to be more thirsty for money, so they engage in corruption. Although it is an exaggeration to say that poor families have many corrupt officials, it does make sense.

"I have been focusing on the battle during this period, and I have indeed neglected this problem." Yuan Shu said solemnly: "I thought that high salary and high integrity combined with the reporting system and secret supervision system could basically solve this problem. Now I think it's my fault.

You are so naive. The problem of corruption cannot be cured by relying on severe punishment. In the end, we have to deal with people’s hearts.”

"How does Your Majesty plan to handle this matter?"

"First, immediately dispatch a large number of newly promoted scholars to serve as officials and set up a special supervision department to investigate corrupt officials. These scholars must have excellent moral qualities and be proficient in mathematics. They must also supervise each other and there must be no officials protecting each other.

And the occurrence of situations such as taking the opportunity to make money. Link their future official positions to the number and size of the corrupt officials caught. Don't worry if they don't fight hard. But remember, you must have solid evidence. It is better to slow down the arrest than to cause an unjust, false and wrong case.

.”

"For officials found, they will be severely punished according to their circumstances and made public, and they are not allowed to be officials or businessmen within the three tribes. In serious cases, additional penalties can be imposed, and their wives, children, and children can all be punished. If you want to be corrupt, you must do it

What a price for the whole family to suffer!" Yuan Shu said bitterly. At this time, he also became cruel. In this era, the family has always been one. In the past, he always tried his best to avoid harm to his family, but now I think he was too naive.

Think about future generations, how many parents will be corrupt and amass money, transfer the money to their children under clever pretexts, and end up in jail with huge debts?

For a father, this is his beloved son. He is getting old. How can he live differently in the remaining days? Spent decades in jail can bring wealth to his descendants that cannot be earned in hundreds of years, isn't it?

Is it worth it? There are many corrupt officials who are driven by this idea. Their best protection is to prevent harm to their families.

They knew clearly that they had transferred the money to their sons and daughters, but with their clever tricks, the law could do nothing to them. They could only watch helplessly as their children legitimately used the hard-earned money of many people to save their lives.

Spending. How unfair this is to the people. Poor people must be hateful. No matter how reasonable it is, it is not a reason for corruption. Using touching family affection and love as a reason for corruption is

What a disgusting thing.

"Second, increase the salary and benefits of officials. Increase the salary as appropriate above the original salary to ensure that officials do not have to worry about supporting their families. Officials' food and housing are all arranged in a unified manner. Special nursing homes are arranged for officials' parents and children of appropriate age.

and schools, forcing them to join. While allowing officials to live a comfortable life, they have no place to spend money.”

"Strengthen the ideological education of their children and conduct real-time inspections. Prepare a special channel for officials' descendants to become officials. Specialized personnel must be deployed for strict review to avoid the transfer of power."

"Third, all businessmen, restaurants, brothels, etc. involved in corruption will be severely punished. Those who should be inspected will be inspected, those who should be taken to the mines will be taken to the mines, and those who fail to report relevant information will be punished."

"Finally, and most importantly, strengthen the ideological education of officials, carry out regular education every year, and always remind them to be upright officials and capable ministers. In the future, those who have not yet been assigned official positions must first undergo a period of ideological education

, observe their behavior, and those who behave inappropriately or have bad conduct can be directly removed.”

"This method is wonderful, Your Majesty is wise!" After Tian Feng heard this, he immediately said in admiration.

"If you don't want to be corrupt, you can't be corrupt, and you don't dare to be corrupt, you must pay close attention to the three steps. In the future, the accounts of the government and officials will be clearly recorded and subject to the supervision of Qingliu admonishers. The upper limit of expenditures of officials' families will be stipulated. Any large amount of improper expenditure or

Officials with large amounts of unidentified assets will be severely punished after verification!"

"Although this may be uncomfortable and unfair to officials, they have to pay a certain price for holding power. I can ensure that they have no worries. Although they are not rich, they can still be considered rich. However, they cannot be too greedy.
