As soon as Lao Zhu finished speaking, he felt that his idea was becoming more and more possible.
Can people who understand corruption so well not be corrupt?
"Zhu Chongba, put away your suspicion!"
Empress Ma's expression was serious and she said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "You don't want to think carefully about Mr. Su's talent and his many properties in Lishui County."
"Does he need to be corrupt?"
Zhu Yuanzhang only had a rough understanding of Su Jing's wealth before.
However, because Li Shanchang had investigated it, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew a lot.
Not to mention making a fortune every day, but it is definitely quite lucrative.
At least, in the Ming Dynasty, there are no officials with Su Jing's income, except for the princes and nobles.
Of course, this must be apparent income.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment by Queen Ma's words, but he still retorted:
"Sister, what you said is wrong."
"Su Jing herself said that corruption is human nature, and there is no inevitable connection between being rich and talented and corrupt."
I have to say that Lao Zhu still has a lot of brains, especially when it comes to corruption.
Queen Ma suddenly became a little angry. She recognized Su Jing's talents and conduct.
"Chongba, I see you are just angry that Su Jing is better than you in anti-corruption."
Queen Ma launched a desperate counterattack.
If anyone knows Lao Zhu best, it must be Queen Ma.
Sure enough, as soon as Queen Ma finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became a little unnatural.
If anyone else spoke like this in front of him, it would at least be a scolding.
No, no one except Queen Ma dared to say that in front of Lao Zhu.
Or, Su Jing, who didn't know Lao Zhu's identity, dared to touch this brow.
"Sister, I'm just talking casually. I know Su Jing disdains corruption. He just gets money in a legitimate way and doesn't have to be too slow."
Lao Zhu took the initiative to give in and said with a smile on his face.
Empress Ma did not dwell on the matter, but said: "Chongba, it stands to reason that this anti-corruption matter is an internal matter. I am just a woman, so I shouldn't talk too much."
"But Mr. Su's suggestions are very wise, and Biao'er also has his own ideas and has drawn up a strategy. I think it is best to implement it as soon as possible."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, the anti-corruption matter cannot be delayed. I will immediately hand over Biao'er's specific strategy to the chief executive for implementation."
Among current civil servants, Li Shanchang is the one Zhu Yuanzhang trusts the most.
Li Shanchang is also the Prime Minister of Zuo, so it is natural for him to be responsible for promoting this kind of thing.
Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion.
Li Shanchang had just received the imperial edict and sent away the father-in-law who delivered the edict. He also launched the anti-corruption strategies formulated by Zhu Biao.
It was naturally impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to show Su Jing's original words to Li Shanchang.
After just a simple scan, the expression on Li Shanchang's face became a little exciting.
In other words, it should be called becoming dignified.
These anti-corruption strategies of Prince Zhu Biao are quite practical and feasible in Li Shanchang's eyes.
As the prime minister of the left, Li Shanchang commanded the civil servants, both large and small.
It is impossible for him to be unaware of the corruption of officials in the DPRK and China.
In other words, he himself is very familiar with the methods of corruption.
"I'm afraid this is Mr. Su's masterpiece again."
Li Shanchang sighed slightly, not sure if it was emotion or some other emotion.
Zhu Biao is certainly very smart and talented.
Li Shanchang, one of Zhu Biao's former teachers, knows this very well.
But at the same time, he also knew that with Zhu Biao's talent and age, it would have been impossible to write such an anti-corruption strategy without Su Jing's guidance.
"Come here, go and inform Mr. Hu, the young minister of Taichang Temple, to come over. No, I'll go there in person."
Li Shanchang originally wanted Hu Weiyong to come to his residence, but after thinking about it briefly, he decided to go in person.
As a subordinate he personally promoted, Hu Weiyong is Li Shanchang's confidant.
Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption edict made Li Shanchang feel the pressure.
He had to find someone he could trust to discuss it.
Not long after, Li Shanchang arrived at Hu Weiyong's residence.
"Prime Minister Zuo, if you have anything to do, just ask me to come over. Why bother to go there in person?"
As soon as he saw Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong immediately came up to him.
This is where your future lies, and you must take care of it.
Li Shanchang waved his hand and said: "Wei Yong, let's not talk about this anymore. I just received your Majesty's order to take charge of the anti-corruption matter."
Li Shanchang was relatively at ease with Hu Weiyong and spoke very directly.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister!"
Hu Weiyong immediately congratulated Li Shanchang: "Being able to receive such a heavy responsibility from His Majesty shows that Prime Minister Zuo's status in His Majesty's heart is getting higher and higher."
The flattery is good, but Li Shanchang does not accept this trick.
He just handed a draft to Hu Weiyong and said: "Then take a look at this. This is the anti-corruption strategy drawn up by the prince."
Hu Weiyong immediately looked at it seriously, but after only seeing half of it, Hu Weiyong's face didn't look good.
"Prime Minister Zuo, this"
Hu Weiyong was a little surprised and said: "Is this really the strategy drawn up by His Royal Highness?"
When it comes to corruption, Hu Weiyong himself has some experience.
Originally, he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shanchang to take charge of catching corruption, which was a normal operation, to investigate and then arrest.
Hu Weiyong thought that this was originally a good thing to strengthen the power of the prime minister.
Among all the officials, there are only a few with clean butts.
It is easy to check if you have the Holy Intent at your fingertips.
By then, with the control of all officials in hand, Li Shanchang's position as prime minister will be more secure.
But when he read Zhu Biao's anti-corruption strategy, he found that it was far from what he thought.
Because the core of Zhu Biao's anti-corruption strategy is to establish an anti-corruption system and use the system to avoid corruption, rather than simply arresting people, although this system requires people to implement it.
But the enforcers themselves also need to be regulated and monitored.
This kind of anti-corruption was something Hu Weiyong had never seen before and would never have thought of.
If this strategy is followed, anti-corruption may indeed be feasible, but the benefits that Li Shanchang can get from this anti-corruption work will not be that many.
"Your Majesty is not joking about this kind of thing."
Li Shanchang said calmly.
Zhu Yuanzhang loved to show off his sons, especially Prince Zhu Biao.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang would not do anything unintentional. It was not something Zhu Biao did, and he would not impose it.
Hu Weiyong was shocked when he heard this.
this.
If Prince Zhu Biao can actually come up with such an anti-corruption strategy, then officials like them will probably have a hard time in the future.
"but."
Li Shanchang changed his subject and said, "If His Highness the Crown Prince had not had the guidance of Mr. Su, I am afraid he would not have had such a strategy."
Su Jing!
Li Shanchang knew a lot about it, but the more he knew, the more unclear he became.
"Prime Minister Zuo, are you talking about Mr. Su, the crown prince's master?"
Hu Weiyong asked immediately.
As for Su Jing's reputation, he has also heard of it.
However, Hu Weiyong knew very well that he should not inquire about things himself.
"Yes, it's him. This talent is extraordinary."
Li Shanchang looked solemn and his eyes were quite serious.
Hu Weiyong's mind turned and he asked again: "Then what does Prime Minister Zuo think?"
He didn't dwell too much on Su Jing's question, and asked Li Shanchang directly about his attitude.
Li Shanchang was Hu Weiyong's biggest thigh at this time, and he could only hug him all the time.
Li Shanchang glanced at Hu Weiyong and said, "Weiyong, this is why I came to you. In your opinion, what should I do?"
Hu Weiyong seemed to have expected this matter a long time ago and said directly: "Prime Minister Zuo, I think this matter only needs to be carried out normally."
"oh."
Li Shanchang's expression moved slightly and he said, "Tell me why it only needs to be executed normally."
Hu Weiyong analyzed: "Prime Minister Zuo, this matter is the result of His Majesty's personal decree, the strategy provided by the Crown Prince, and it is also a matter of corruption."
"No matter how things are done, His Majesty will definitely pay close attention to it. Any small move will be easily discovered."
"At the same time, the strategy provided by the prince is quite detailed, and Prime Minister Zuo only needs to execute it."
"If it works, Prime Minister Zuo will naturally have a share of the credit. If it doesn't work, His Majesty will certainly not blame you too much. After all, it was carried out according to His Highness the Crown Prince's strategy."
"Finally, according to what Prime Minister Zuo said, this matter is closely related to Mr. Nasu. It just so happens that we can use this matter to see what Mr. Nasu's abilities are."
"After all, although this strategy is good, if it is really implemented, I am afraid it will encounter a lot of difficulties."
No matter how good the method is when it comes to anti-corruption, there will definitely be resistance to its implementation.
Because this is behavior that shakes the interests of "most people".
Li Shanchang nodded and said: "Wei Yong, you are right. This matter should indeed be handled in this way."
"If I have the chance, I will put in a nice word for you in front of His Majesty."
A useful subordinate, Li Shanchang will definitely lend a helping hand.
Hu Weiyong immediately said: "It is the official's duty to share the worries of Prime Minister Zuo. As for the official's opinion, I believe Prime Minister Zuo has already considered it. The official just said it for you."
"Wei Yong dare not take credit, but I can only thank Prime Minister Zuo for his cultivation."
This little flattery is quite accurate.
Li Shanchang also had a look of satisfaction on his face. It was so comforting to have such a sensible subordinate.
"Congratulations to Prime Minister Zuo."
Hu Weiyong sent Li Shanchang away, and the smile on his face froze for a long time before disappearing.
Su Jing!
Hu Weiyong frowned, thinking about the anti-corruption strategy he had just read.
Those anti-corruption systems and various supervision methods.
"This man is extraordinary!"
Hu Weiyong sighed slightly, feeling that Su Jing was afraid of being his biggest enemy in the future.
His goal as an official is quite clear, that is, to climb up.
For this reason, he also used some less than honorable methods during the promotion process.
That Su Jing was able to teach Prince Zhu Biao to write such an anti-corruption strategy shows his intelligence.
And Su Jing is the teacher of Prince Zhu Biao. If Zhu Biao ascends the throne in the future, he will be the teacher of Prince Zhu Biao.
That Su Jing is the one who is pressing down on him, Hu Weiyong, no, it should be a mountain on the heads of all the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
When he thought of this, Hu Weiyong's mind became active.
Gotta think of a way!
I caught up, it was just updated today.
