The spot check system is the best way to deter corrupt officials.
According to research, irregular spot checks are more shocking than regular spot checks.
Under the irregular spot inspection system, no one is sure when they will be randomly inspected.
In this way, they will try their best to behave and abide by the law no matter what.
At the same time, the irregular spot inspection system can effectively save manpower and material resources compared to the detailed inspection system.
So in general, the spot check system is an effective measure to curb corruption.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded repeatedly.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had similar ideas before.
However, I was unable to implement it because I had no reason at the time.
This time Hu Changan gave Zhu Yuanzhang a good reason!
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and finally made a final decision: "Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, please immediately transfer a hundred people who are good at arithmetic from the Jinyi Guards to set up an audit team."
"Hu Changan will temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of this audit team."
"You must check all the ministers' accounts this time!"
"All ministers will be divided into three categories."
"The first category is those who are not involved in corruption."
"Every minister who has not participated in corruption will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver!"
"The first type is ministers who have relatively little corruption and are from poor families."
"Such ministers will be given different amounts of cane punishment according to the amount of corruption."
"And those ministers who have committed a large amount of corruption and are from wealthy families will all be executed!"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang referred to some of Hu Changan's opinions, he also made adjustments based on them.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very generous to those ministers who were not involved in corruption, and even rewarded them with three years' salary at once!
This is definitely the biggest reward since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Yuanzhang actually felt guilty towards these ministers.
If he had not thought carefully before, the salary set was too low, and these ministers would not be so poor!
Looking at how skinny and frail they all are, they must have not eaten meat for a long time.
As for those ministers who were less corrupt, Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily let them go without imposing any substantial punishment on them.
However, being slapped in public is also a very serious punishment for these face-conscious ministers.
I believe that as long as they have a little respect, they will remember this punishment for the rest of their lives.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not so polite to those ministers who knowingly committed crimes.
The scum of this country will definitely deserve to die!
When all the ministers heard this, naturally some were happy and some were sad.
The happiest among them are naturally those ministers who have not participated in corruption.
They froze in place for a long time, unable to believe that such a big pie would hit their heads.
This is one hundred taels of silver! A full salary for three years!
With so much money, they will definitely be able to enjoy the wonderful life of eating meat every day for a long time to come!
Thinking of the tempting oil star seeds that they had not eaten for a long time, those ministers were so greedy that their mouths were watering!
And those ministers whose corruption was not too serious also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, okay, they finally have a way to survive!
At this time, they were extremely grateful to Hu Changan for speaking up.
If it weren't for Hu Changan, they might really be dead today!
At the same time, they also strengthened their belief in not being corrupt.
Corruption and such are really terrible.
You must take good care of your hands in the future and don't join in the trouble with those hateful colleagues!
And those extremely corrupt officials all turned pale, as if they were about to fall to the ground after a gust of wind.
Among them, Xu Duo, the Minister of Household Affairs, was particularly upset.
He knew that with the amount of his wealth and corruption, he would definitely be tortured and die without a body intact!
He should not have agreed to the proposal of his subordinate officials and made accusations of corruption in the first place!
He should not provoke Hu Changan.
If Hu Changan had not been provoked, he might have been able to live a leisurely life for a while, and this corruption incident would not have been uncovered so quickly.
But now, it's too late.
Xu Duo could only lower his head tremblingly, letting regret ferment in his heart.
Seeing that everything had been announced, Zhu Yuanzhang announced his resignation.
All the ministers dispersed with different thoughts.
But Hu Changan's matter has just begun.
After the court, Hu Changan did not leave, but sat in the side hall, quietly waiting for the summons.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang had just assigned him an important task.
Hu Changan believed that the efficiency of these Jin Yiwei would never disappoint him.
Sure enough, not long after Hu Changan sat in the side hall, the door of the side hall was opened.
The person who opened the door was a man wearing a black flying fish suit.
The man is about thirty or forty years old, with a Chinese character face and a rather resolute appearance.
Seeing Hu Changan, the man immediately saluted and said: "Servant Hu, I am Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards."
"I have already brought all the hundred royal guards that Your Majesty asked me to order."
"In the next period of time, we will temporarily obey your orders, Mr. Hu."
When Hu Changan heard this, he also quickly said humbly: "Master Mao, I just obey the orders and dare not say anything."
"We will have a cooperative relationship for a period of time from now on."
"I hope we can work together to bring those corrupt officials to justice!"
Jinyiwei is Zhu Yuanzhang's personal bodyguard.
In the Ming Dynasty, Jin Yiwei definitely had great power.
In front of Jin Yiwei, Hu Changan naturally did not dare to touch Qiao.
When Mao Xiang heard this, he also smiled and said, "In that case, what is our first step, Mr. Hu?"
Hu Changan thought for a moment and said to Mao Xiang: "Sir Mao, I think our first step is to get the account books from all the ministers' homes."
"The court has just begun, and these ministers are all on their way to the ministry. They will definitely not have time to go home."
"I think we might as well seize the account books from these ministers' homes before they have time to arrange their arrangements."
"This can effectively prevent some people with impure minds from making false claims on the spot."
When Mao Xiang heard this, he also nodded.
If it were him, the first step would definitely be to do this.
Since we plan to start with the account books of these ministers, the first step must be to obtain these account books.
Mao Xiang paused and said to Hu Changan: "In that case, I will send my men to collect the account books first."
"His Majesty specially prepared a side hall for us in the palace. All future affairs can be completed in that side hall."
When Hu Changan heard this, he also nodded, indicating that he understood.
