Red Alert 1895: Chapter 790 0 tolerance on

After Cen Chunxuan copied the news about the corruption in the construction department to the emperor, the cabinet, the court, the parliament, etc., this immediately made many people explode. And this news forced Wang Guorui to hold an inner court, that is, he invited important figures to hold a meeting in the harem. It was a meeting in a small circle, unlike the Grand Court Meeting where officials of rank five or above could participate. And this internal court has a certain degree of confidentiality, but all the participants are senior officials.

"This is really too hateful, too hateful. He dared to be so corrupt. How long has it been since he ruled the world, and he started making money? Also, he started making money so early, and we Don't know? It seems that we must seriously investigate, I don't believe that the major civil servants in our government are all clean?" Wang Guorui said angrily.

Although Wang Guorui knew that there must be corrupt people in the government, Wang Guorui did not take the initiative to investigate before. But now that the real investigation has started, it really is shocking. Moreover, Wang Guorui probably understood that the Supervision Office he set up earlier was completely in the same boat. The officials of the former Supervision Office did not dare to do anything casually, because they were also members of the system. Like the censors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were afraid that if they went to work in other departments in the future, they would be put on small shoes. Therefore, some small cases are not dared to investigate casually.

"Those guys from the Supervisory Office back then were all dereliction of duty!" Wang Guorui said angrily.

And the newly appointed Prime Minister Xiao Hongsheng was a little embarrassed, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think they were at the stage of starting a business back then, and at that time their embezzlement was not much, it was very little money, so everyone didn't want to I'm hurting my peace because of this little thing!"

"Asshole, the appetite of corrupt officials is getting bigger and bigger. Today he takes one yuan, tomorrow he dares to take ten yuan, and the day after tomorrow one hundred yuan! Don't they understand the truth of stealing needles when they were young and stealing gold when they were grown-ups?" ?” Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui is very clear. He has read many confessions of corrupt officials in later generations, and they all mentioned their growing appetite more than once. Maybe they were trembling at the beginning of charging one or two cigarettes and alcohol, and they didn't even dare to charge one or two cigarettes and alcohol. But once you get used to it. Their appetites will also increase. From one or two cigarettes and alcohol at the beginning to the millions of wealth later, they have no pressure to embezzle and accept bribes. Only when the incident finally came to light, could they truly recall their lives, and then realize that they had grown up from an upright person. From a good official serving the people enthusiastically, he became an enemy of the people. From a person who didn't dare to accept cigarettes and alcohol at the beginning, he became a gluttonous monster with tens of millions of wealth without changing his face.

Therefore, this kind of appetite is getting bigger and bigger. If you don't hit them when their appetite is small, then their appetite will become bigger and bigger, and problems will inevitably occur in the end.

"Look at Director Yang, he was one of the first batch of people in my year! At that time, it was Taiwan, and he was the first batch of foreign students we invited! When we invited many foreign students from outside, they are now They are in high positions. The lowest officials are at the level of director and deputy director, and the high ones are just like you, cabinet members. But now, they have become corrupt officials. This is really unreasonable. And you have a look , From his data all the time, he started with a small amount one by one, and then his appetite became bigger and bigger. This is all the appeasement of those supervisory departments. It seems that it is true, if the supervisory department cannot be truly independent Come out. Then we can't expect them to be fair!" Wang Guorui said.

However, someone immediately asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do with these guys?"

"What should I do? Send it to the court. How to deal with it is the court's business. Why do you ask me? According to the constitution, I cannot interfere with the judiciary!" Wang Guorui said.

However, someone immediately said embarrassingly: "Your Majesty, Director Yang was the first person to follow you after all. For so many years, there is no credit but hard work! Besides, if it is sent to the court, isn't it just telling the whole world People, do we also have such corrupt officials? This is not good for our reputation!"

"The first ones who followed me had hard work without credit? Then the salary I gave him was to feed pigs? While holding the salary I gave him, that is to do things for the court. The court gave them a salary, that is to let them What they do is not for them to embezzle. It is their duty to do things, so how can they have any credit? Moreover, we also have various bonuses such as performance bonuses and so on. Since then, he has done things well. Excellent, we have not lost the bonus that should be given. Besides, we have not treated him badly in welfare, have we? We have reserved a house for them in the capital area. Just wait for the house to be built, there must be him It's a set. So, I really think I didn't treat him badly, right? I have given him the bonuses and benefits that he deserves for all the hard work, so I don't seem to owe him anything, right?" Wang Guorui asked.

After hearing this, everyone was silent, because all kinds of bonuses and benefits were paid according to the system, and there was no deduction. So for the credit and hard work, everything that should be given has been given, and Wang Guorui and the court don't owe them anything. Is it unreasonable to use credit and hard work to talk about things now?

"Your Majesty, it doesn't sound good to spread the word! After all, we have just founded the country. If we announce it like this, what will the people think of us? At that time, how will the people think of our new court? Will the mother think that we are different from the past? Like the imperial court in China, it is a place where corruption is rampant? So, I think it is better to solve it internally, dismiss them, and then let them go home to sell sweet potatoes, never to use them. And confiscate property, confiscate all illegal Income."

And some people said: "Your Majesty, corruption cannot be cured. Zhu Yuanzhang fought against corruption and killed so many officials, but in the end, corruption was rampant? Therefore, it is impossible to eradicate corruption simply by punishing and killing people." Yes. So the emperor wants to fight corruption, so don't worry about it right now!"

Wang Guorui said again: "Huh, do you think this is a trivial matter? You say that corruption cannot be completely cured, and if it is announced, will it affect the image in the hearts of the people? Is it to discredit me? But you Confused! Corruption cannot be cured. We know this, and the common people also know it. Our anti-corruption will not affect the hearts of the people, but will win them. The people actually know that corruption cannot be cured, but what they care about is us How to treat these people. If we cover it up and solve it in private, then this is the most unpopular."

Wang Guorui is also an ordinary citizen in later generations. As an ordinary citizen, he also knows that it is impossible to expect the government to be completely clean. There are corrupt officials in every country in the world, and this cannot be completely cured. Not only officials know this, but ordinary people also know this. What they care about is not how many corrupt officials there are, how much money those corrupt officials have embezzled, or even how many corrupt officials were shot. What they care about is the government's attitude towards corrupt officials, whether they choose to tolerate or severely punish them, and they will never tolerate them.

In many cases, taking the initiative to deal with corrupt officials openly will not only prevent the common people from thinking that the government is hiding evil, but they will applaud them because they are determined to clean up these corrupt elements. There are some black sheep in any organization, the key is that you must have the determination to clean up these black sheep and let them accept severe punishment. If you choose to appease these black sheep, there will only be more black sheep in the end, because they think that since they are not severely punished for being black sheep, they will dare to try their own methods.

"Let me tell you, you said that Zhu Yuanzhang killed so many corrupt officials but did not prohibit corruption. I don't think it is strange. Because killing people can't solve the problem, because although Zhu Yuanzhang fights corruption~www.mtlnovel.com~, he didn't really use the right method method to fight corruption. He relies on his own authority to fight corruption, and uses his own authority to kill people. And the result of this fight against corruption is based on his own authority. Once he leaves, what should he do? Moreover, this Zhu Yuanzhang’s anti-corruption, his subjective consciousness is too strong, whether to kill or not is all in his mind. If, if, when Zhu Yuanzhang dealt with a corrupt official, due to some unexpected reasons, his heart softened and he chose to let go If he dies, then all the things he did before will be in vain. Because more corrupt officials know that someone can survive by luck, and in the end they still want to try their best because they have a fluke mentality."

"No matter how hard you kill those corrupt officials, it can't be solved. Because as long as one person is lucky enough to escape the punishment, there will inevitably be more people who are lucky enough to choose to try the law by themselves. In ancient times, a society ruled by men If an official is corrupt, whether to kill him, **** him, the extent of his involvement, whether to pardon him, whether to punish him, and how to punish him all depend on the emperor's own thoughts. If you kill him, there will still be many people who will try their best in the end.”

"So, when we want to crack down on these corrupt officials, we don't care how heavy the punishment will be after the crime, but the attitude towards corrupt officials. Only by achieving zero tolerance for corruption can we truly solve the problem to the greatest extent. means of corruption.” (To be continued.)
