As for Fujian Road System Envoy Shi Hongsheng, I plan to transfer him to the Central Government and let him set up the Ministry of Education. After Jiang Wanli served as Minister of Commerce, I have not yet had a suitable candidate for the Ministry of Education. The reason why I considered using Shi Hongsheng
, firstly because of Xie Daoqing, and secondly because he was keen on teaching and educating people, and during Fujian Lu's tenure, the only satisfactory political achievement was the success rate of Fujian Lu's students in the imperial examination.
Maybe Fujian food doesn't suit my taste, or maybe my mind is not on that, so I only tasted various dishes.
"Ye Mengding, Chen Xinshu."
"I'm here."
"I'm here."
"I hope you all understand that honest officials are only the foundation of good officials. Just like Shi Hongsheng, he is an honest official, but he did not make much achievements in the position of Fujian road system envoy. He also neglected to monitor local officials, resulting in
Their collective corruption can be regarded as a kind of dereliction of duty, so it is not enough to just be an upright official. What I need is a good official who has both ability and political integrity and is honest and progressive."
"I respectfully abide by the Emperor's will."
"Well, the second thing is that I will use Fujian Road as a pilot project to set up a Supervisory Office."
Chen Xinshu didn't know why. He looked at Ye Mengding who was also confused and said, "Your Majesty, what is the Supervisory Office?"
The Ombudsman's Office I want to set up is the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong in later generations. At that time, Hong Kong's officialdom, especially the police, was also collectively corrupt. Later, the government made up its mind and established the Independent Commission Against Corruption. More than ten years later, Hong Kong has become one of the few in the world.
A place of integrity.
In fact, clean government is something that every government with real power can do. Although it is difficult, the key lies in whether the government wants to do it.
"There is a supervisory censor in the imperial court who is responsible for supervising the words and deeds of all officials. However, it is inextricably linked with various ministries and is located in the official network of human relations, so it cannot treat everything fairly. I plan to
Supervisory Office established
It is only responsible to me and does not belong to any department in the court. The actions of the Supervisory Office will only be in accordance with the laws of our court and use solid laws to deal with the flexible officialdom. Only in this way can we be impartial. The Supervisory Office only targets the officials of our court.
Where there is
Anyone who violates the law has the right to investigate and collect evidence, and then hand it over to Nan Ya for trial. Similarly, Nan Ya does not belong to the Criminal Department, but reports directly to me. To put it simply, you, the Fujian Road official, are responsible for normal government affairs
,but
If an official violates the law, he will not be dealt with by his superior yamen, but will be handed over to the Supervisory Office and Nanya. Neither the Supervisory Office nor Nanya are subject to the control of local yamen, so that the situation between officials can be avoided.
"
"Your Majesty, what should I do if my other officials on Fujian Road are found guilty of corruption and perverting the law?"
"Chen Aiqing, let bygones be bygones. Now that you have been reborn, I will also give the officials under your rule a chance. From now on, I will not take responsibility for past corruption. But if there are any offenders again, I will give them a chance."
If the crime is aggravated, I will not give him a lenient sentence, and Chen Aiqing, as the highest official in Fujian Road, is also responsible for the lax discipline."
"Your Majesty, I understand. On behalf of all the officials of Fujian Road, I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness."
"Chen Aiqing, I hope to see a different Fujian Road, a vibrant Fujian Road that leads the way for us."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely act in accordance with your Majesty's will."
"Well, if all the official circles in our country change from darkness to light, then it will be the time for our country to revive."
As an old minister of the late emperor, Ye Mengding said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise, I believe that the time of ZTE is not far away."
Chen Xinshu also had a face full of passion: "What Mr. Ye said is extremely reasonable. With the emperor's sage wisdom, our country will surely move toward ZTE."
I smiled and said, "Dear ladies, let's talk while we eat."
Although Chen Xinshu has shown his loyalty to me, I am not completely at ease with these old-timers in the officialdom. In the current officialdom, everyone wears an invisible mask, and no one knows the expression behind the mask, even themselves sometimes.
I couldn't tell whether I was laughing or crying.
I touched my face and thought, who should hand over the Supervisory Office on Fujian Road? Who should be in charge of Nan Ya?
After three rounds of drinking, Ye and Chen relaxed a little.
"Your Majesty, when will you return to Beijing?"
"I will return to Beijing tomorrow."
Chen Xin wrote: "Your Majesty, are you in too much of a hurry? Your Majesty has many things to do every day. It's not easy to come here once. It's better to stay here longer so that the ministers can listen to your instructions."
"Chen Aiqing, Fujian Road, I will come again, but next time I come, there will only be two situations. One is that your achievements in Fujian Road satisfy me, and I am here to reward you. The other is that you let me
If you feel disappointed, then I will come to punish you."
Chen Xinshu picked up the wine glass and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a glass of wine. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely let Your Majesty see the first situation."
"Okay, remember what you said today." I said immediately.
At noon the next day, when the approval document from the Ministry of Commerce that MSG was not a contraband was sent to Fuzhou, I took Fang Ling, Yuan Ji and others on the way back. Huang Daopo, Song Wuxin and Xiaoyi followed Ye Mengding.
The large group of people then set off.
After leaving Beijing for more than ten days, although Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu had pigeons delivering messages every day, many matters in the DPRK were still waiting for me to deal with. Lin'an University officially opened, and I was responsible for new departments such as the Government Affairs Council, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Bank.
I went to inquire in person, and the first batch of 300 improved muskets had been produced and were waiting for me to go back and distribute them, so for me, it was a matter of time before I returned home.
Lin Ying and Chen Miao sent us to Shili Changting on the outskirts of Fuzhou.
I reined in the reins and said to the two people who were seeing them off: "Lin Ying, Chen Miao, we are not going to the Lin Family Village. When you go back, say hello to the head of the Lin Family and the elders. If you have anything, you can come to the Shifeng Trading Company in the capital. We will
Let’s just say goodbye.”
"Brother, wait a minute, I'll have a chat with Sister Lin, it'll be quick."
"Ling'er, I haven't said enough for so many days. You can tell me, we are not here either."
Not long after, Fang Ling and Lin Ying came to me together. Fang Ling said: "Brother, Sister Lin has something to tell you."
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
Lin Ying's face turned red and she whispered: "Master, I, I..."
Fang Ling smiled anxiously and said, "Sister Lin, if you don't tell me, you won't have a chance."
Lin Ying's pretty face became more and more rosy, and she plucked up the courage to say: "Sir, we have to say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see each other again. The last time I heard the song you sang on the top of Pingshan Mountain, I, I liked it very much. I don't know, I don't know.
Can you sing it again?"
"I want to listen to a song, okay." I smiled, "Now that we are in Shili Changting, let's sing a song related to Changting."
"Yeah." Lin Ying's voice was like a mosquito.
"Okay, brother, I don't think I've heard of this song before."
"Ling'er, this is my first time singing this song. Listen carefully."
I lowered my voice and sang:
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and the sky is green.
The evening wind blows the willow flute and the sound of the flute fades, the sun sets outside the mountains
At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, close friends are scattered
Life is rarely filled with joyous gatherings, only with many separations
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and the sky is green.
I asked you when you will return here. When you come back, don’t linger.
At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, close friends are scattered
A pot of turbidity spreads all the remaining joy, don’t sleep in the cold tonight
The song is low and melodious, showing the reluctance to leave.
Lin Ying's memory is not as good as Fang Ling's, but she can still remember seven, seven, eight, and eight. After listening to it once, she couldn't help but hum. "Take care, you two. Goodbye." I rode northward, and the moment I left, I saw Lin Ying
