Emperor Huai'an was in a pretty good mood. Although he didn't kill all these guys, he still managed to capture a few of the borers he had always wanted to get rid of.
Fortunately, there are still more than two months to go. If he wants to deal with these officials, he must take his time and not be impatient.
"Today's play is over, should we go back?"
When Li Baiyi heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet. If you want to rectify the government, you just need to gain the trust of the people. This is only the first step. The second step is the key."
"If we want to accomplish this, the focus is still on official governance. Talking without practice is just a lie. We must refresh the official atmosphere so that the people can feel the most real changes among officials."
"These two steps are indispensable. Without the first step, the people will not support it. Those who want to cause trouble will encounter huge opposition pressure from the people if they do anything casually."
"But without the second step, there will be no substantial improvement in the official atmosphere, and the trust regained will be lost again. This is an inevitable result."
"Of course, the people's trust is easy to lose and easy to gain. If you want to rectify the government, you must use certain methods to be effective."
"This road will definitely be difficult, but once it is successful, the government will be clear and transparent, and the government and the people will be united, Dakun will be revitalized."
Emperor Huai'an couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this. This guy kept chasing him and never stopped. He definitely didn't want to get angry with these guys.
Does he really have any means to solve this officialdom problem?
To be honest, as an emperor who wanted to make a difference, Emperor Huai'an certainly wanted to rectify the government, but he was unwilling to take risks unless it was absolutely necessary.
If Li Baiyi really has a way, he will rush up even if he risks his life!
Li Baiyi, Li Baiyi, please don’t let me down.
Huo Bai, who was not far away, immediately turned serious. Of course he could also hear what Emperor Huai'an heard. This boy seemed to be prepared for what he did.
How could he be so sure that these people would listen to him, and how could he come up with such a method? Could it be that he was bluffing.
Judging from Li Baiyi's previous performance, he was definitely not bluffing.
How did this kid's head grow? Do you want to stop him?
If he is really asked to hand over a good means to rectify the officialdom, Emperor Huai'an will get this means and clean up the Dakun court. When Prime Minister Guo comes back, the day lily will be cold.
Thinking of this, Huo Bai couldn't help but take a breath.
"You kid, tell me what good means you have to accomplish this."
Emperor Huai'an stared at Li Baiyi with bright eyes.
Li Baiyi said with firm eyes: "Your Majesty, of course we must take serious measures to rectify the situation. Only by acting vigorously and resolutely and letting the officials see our determination to rectify the government can the will of rectification be truly implemented."
When Huo Bai heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this. All officials work hard every day, and your Majesty and Dakun are all working hard. We can learn from the sun and the moon."
"If we are cruel to all officials, wouldn't it make all officials feel cold? When the time comes, who will have the motivation to share the world's worries?"
Before Emperor Huai'an could reply, Li Baiyi rushed to say: "Master Huo, right? What you said, if ruthlessness doesn't work in the right place, of course it won't work."
"If you can use appropriate force and only deal harshly with the officials who committed the crime, then it will be fine. Other officials who behave uprightly will naturally not have to worry about this."
Huo Bai hesitated for a moment, but snorted coldly: "It's easy to say. What if some officials want to maliciously obstruct us and expand the scope of the attack?"
"When the time comes, the waters in the officialdom will become more and more muddy, and we will stop doing business. If not, the imperial court and local officialdom will be paralyzed."
Emperor Huai'an was silent for a moment and said: "Yes, Li Baiyi, how to solve this problem? If this problem can be solved, we will definitely be able to rectify the administration of officials, but this problem is precisely the most difficult to solve."
Huo Bai's face was expressionless, but his eyes looked at Li Baiyi with a hint of pride.
Huh, kid, if you still want to fight me, just stay where it's cool. The officialdom is very deep and you can't control it.
Li Baiyi said to Emperor Huai'an with a relaxed look: "Your Majesty, no matter how difficult things are in the world, as long as you want to solve the problem, you have to try it."
"If His Majesty is worried that the rectification of officialdom may cause some turmoil, we can set the scope of rectification within a controllable range."
When Emperor Huai'an heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his eyes full of interest: "It's within the controllable range. Can this still be controlled?"
Li Baiyi nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, Your Majesty, if you can't do this, I'm afraid you won't make any mistakes in the process of rectifying the administration, otherwise your hands will be tied up and nothing can be done."
Huo Bai couldn't help but his right eyelid twitched. Although what this boy said seemed quite mysterious, what he meant seemed to make sense.
Could it be that he really found a good way to rectify the officialdom?
Emperor Huai'an pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then you can tell me how to control the scope of the rectification."
Li Baiyi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, we can demarcate a county or a state as a pilot state or county for rectification of officialdom."
"It's just a small county or a state. Even if something turbulent happens, its influence will be limited after all. Dakun can still handle it, and His Majesty's power is enough to control the situation."
"When the successful experience of this state and one county is available, and then it can be extended to all provinces and even Kunming, it will be a matter of course. What do you think?"
"Of course, all this requires the cooperation of the court and local officials."
When Emperor Huai'an heard this, his face was calm, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
Pilot states or counties, how could this guy come up with so many shocking methods in his head?
Is he really a genius?
Why have I never thought of using a state or a county to conduct experiments before?
Just like Li Baiyi said, even if it fails or some turbulent event occurs, can't he, the emperor, still be able to control the situation?
He originally thought that the methods proposed by Li Baiyi could only be empty talk but could not be implemented.
However, with just these few words, Emperor Huai'an saw the feasibility of his strategy. At least the harm he had been worried about due to the rectification of officialdom had been avoided.
Thinking of this, Emperor Huai'an immediately planned to agree with this method. I have to say that he was really moved. It won't take long for this method to be fully rolled out throughout Dakun!
One state and one county can rectify the officialdom very quickly. The experience gained can be copied and pasted to the whole Dakun. It won’t take long for the whole Dakun to take on a completely new look!
