Chapter 322 Can Zhu Dian, who has a criminal record, be used?
After Chen Yan left the palace, Zhu Youjian began to think about one thing in his mind. After Pan Yongtu was punished, who should the Shuntian governor ask to do it?
The lack of suitable senior officials is a big problem currently facing the court. Military generals can grow up after fighting a few battles, but government officials cannot. Without long-term training in local government affairs, their political experience will be reduced.
Immature, in a sense, the problems faced by government officials are more complex than those faced by military officials. They are solving a problem that does not have an optimal solution. Unlike military officials, who can be flexible in their approach but have certain answer standards.
The original bureaucracy prevents young officials from rising quickly, and the new bureaucracy does not produce a group of officials who can really take the lead. This is the current situation of the officialdom ecology. What is most needed at the moment is a group of officials who can complete the transition between the old and the new.
In another three to five years, young officials will be able to put them to great use.
The capital will be the next key development place. The construction of the Miyun Factory Area is actually a reserve for the development of the capital. The real takeoff of the Ming Dynasty depends on whether Beijing and Tianjin can become new industrial cities.
In theory, Song Yingsheng is the most suitable candidate to be the governor of Shuntian, but he just went to Tianjin last year to take up a post. The business in Tianjin and Zunhua has just opened, so it is inappropriate to transfer him to Beijing at this time. Liu Lishun will be transferred to Dengzhou during the Chinese New Year.
The talent growth plan has been disrupted, and Song Yingsheng cannot be touched this year.
Fang Yizhi is too young and has only been training for a year, so he certainly cannot be moved. Song Quan of the Xuanmi Administration has just started his work this year, so he cannot be moved. How about Ma Shiying? Ma Shiying has a very long history of working in the local area.
, Zhu Youjian is quite satisfied with his work in the Civil Affairs Bureau this year, and he is a suitable candidate. But the question is, after he is transferred to Shuntian Mansion, who will take over the job in the Civil Affairs Bureau?
Counting and counting, there are only so many people at hand, one carrot and one hole, no one can touch it. Forget it, let’s not think about it for now, we will talk about it later.
The day after Chen Yan returned, an uproar broke out in the official circles of the capital. Chen Yan, along with people from the Ministry of Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, took Pan Yongtu away that morning. Within the next day, all relevant accomplices were arrested.
When Shuntian Prefecture Yin was arrested, the courtiers were naturally alarmed. Zhou Yanru ran into the palace at noon and asked what was going on? Why didn't he receive relevant news in advance?
"Did Scholar Chen not tell the cabinet about this matter?"
"Fasheng disappeared early this morning! The old minister only found out about this after receiving news from the Ministry of Punishment." When Lao Zhou said this, his beard was shaking with anger. Why is he also the head of the hundred officials? Chen Yan
What's the point of arresting a second-rank official and bypassing the cabinet? Do you still have some organizational discipline?
"Yesterday, I was informed by the emperor about Pan Yongtu's embezzlement of project funds. I think he may have thought that he would take action first and then report it to the cabinet, so as not to alert the enemy? After all, Pan Yongtu is one of the most important officials in the imperial court. If this was not done secretly, it is very likely that
Something bad will happen."
"No matter what, I shouldn't hide the secret from the old minister. Could it be that the old minister would leak the secret!"
"After the Grand Master has finished this matter, he will tell the Second Assistant, so that if similar things happen in the future, he can communicate with the cabinet ministers first to avoid misunderstandings." Zhu Youjian was a little impatient with Zhou Yanru coming over to ask questions. You guys
The chief and deputy chiefs didn't communicate with each other, so why are you looking for trouble in the palace? It's not like the Jin Yiwei came to arrest people.
"Your Majesty, how will Pan Yongtu's case be investigated and how will he be convicted?"
"Isn't the Ming Dynasty Law there? Isn't it written how to punish the crime of corruption!"
"Your Majesty, although Pan Yongtu is greedy, he has been dedicated to state affairs these years. I sincerely ask your Majesty to treat him leniently."
"Grand Master, I will only say this once! Rules should be followed when governing a country, and officials should be lenient at will, causing harm to the country and the people. I can forgive other things, but this is definitely not the case if the money spent by the court cannot be used in the place, otherwise the New Wind Movement will not
Isn’t this a joke? Nearly ten million taels of silver are spent every year without achieving the desired results. How much money can the court have to compensate for the greed of officials? Don’t plead for people who are unclear and cannot understand the situation.”
Lao Zhou was so frightened by the emperor's sudden harsh tone that sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing that Zhou Yanru stopped talking nonsense, Zhu Youjian continued to speak: "The most important thing that the Grand Master should be concerned about now is how to reestablish the official administration of Shuntian Prefecture as soon as possible. This is an important matter that concerns the people of Li and the imperial court. For one
Sympathy for stupid and corrupt officials who are confused is not the behavior of the chief minister of a great power. The people who should be sympathized with most are the people of Shuntian Prefecture. I prefer Ma Shiying to succeed Pan Yongtu as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. However, Ma Shiying is an errand of the Anmin Bureau.
, Incompetent ministers and officials can take over, what does the Grand Master have to think about?"
Old Zhou calmed down for a long time before his head came to his senses. The emperor wanted to appoint Ma Shiying as the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, which was definitely not negotiable. The governor of the Anmin Bureau is now considered to have a good job, and it is worse than the governor of water transportation back then. Who should he ask to take over?
Is this really lacking? "Your Majesty, Zhu Yanzhi from Jinhua came to the capital recently, and I am worried about the lack of proper job placement. He has experience in governing the people, so he is suitable to be the governor of the Civil Affairs Bureau. It's just that this person has a record of corruption in his previous office. I don't know.
Is it suitable?" Lao Zhou added these last words to avoid being scolded by the emperor again. Anyway, he recommended the candidate.
"Are you talking about Zhu Dadian?"
"Exactly this person!"
Zhu Dadian came to Beijing? This man was the number one figure among the officials in the late Ming Dynasty, and he was written down in the history books of later generations. It should not be difficult for him to find a new job in Nanjing! Why did he come to Beijing?
?
"Why did Zhu Dadian come north? He is not allowed to stay in Donglin?"
"This person has a bad relationship with Donglin. Zuo Mengeng over in Zhejiang is using troops to disrupt the government, and he cannot tolerate it."
Does he have enmity with the Donglin Party? This is a new thing. I don’t know why, Zhu Youjian always looks down upon those who have enmity with the Donglin Party. “It is rumored that he came to the palace to speak out, let me see.
Is he still worthy of use? In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, is there anyone who is not corrupt? It doesn’t matter if there were bad deeds in the past. What matters is whether there will be bad deeds in the future. If the officials are not governed well, everyone will do evil, and if the officials govern the evil officials clearly, they can also be good. How to make it better?
The administration of the Qingming Festival by officials is the first thing that important ministers of the country and dynasty think about."
Zhou Yanru almost spat out a mouthful of blood when the emperor said, "Who is not corrupt in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom?" Although this is not an exaggeration, it is a slap in the face. How could such a thing be dealt with so straightforwardly?
What did you say? Could the emperor be warning me when he said this? It seems that I have to be more careful about accepting and demanding bribes in the future. Should Zhu Dadian return the filial piety he paid me when he came to the capital? In order to avoid implicating myself because of this matter.
I can't be a famous minister.
In fact, Zhu Youjian had no idea that a person with a history of corruption should be the chief official of the Civil Affairs Bureau, which is the most expensive department at the moment. How come there are so few officials in the Ming Dynasty who are not corrupt and have strong abilities available? In his heart
Deep down, Zhu Youjian is actually desperate whether he can find an official who is not greedy or possessive, has strong ability, and cares about the people. Even if it is a relatively easy-to-use prison-gongsheng-sheng system now, when they grow up to be in power,
