"Suppress and eliminate those corrupt officials who deceive the court and oppress the people for their own selfish desires, and only want to harm the country and oppress the people for their own benefit."

"Only by truly attracting a group, dividing a group, and suppressing and eliminating a group can we truly curb the continuous emergence of corrupt officials."

"Otherwise, if we treat those corrupt officials simply and brutally to curb corruption with killing, then it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

"Even if the killing is over now, the number of corrupt officials will increase after His Majesty is gone!!!"

After listening to what Yan Changqing said, the prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all looked at Yan Changqing with bright eyes, and their eyes were full of admiration.

[As expected of Mr. Yan, these words are really enlightening and rewarding! ! ! 】

[It’s no wonder that no matter how the father kills corrupt officials, the corrupt officials are always killed. The biggest reason for the "five zeros" is that the father has always only wanted to kill corrupt officials, but he has never thought about what a corrupt official is. appeared! ! ! 】

[Everything must be investigated to the root, even if it is a corrupt official, it is also necessary to understand why those corrupt officials became corrupt officials. 】

【Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine and truly solve the problem of endless emergence of corrupt officials from the source! ! ! 】

[To win over one group, divide one group, suppress and eliminate another group, this is true for those corrupt officials, so is it possible to treat other power groups in the same way? ! ! 】

[If it is true as Mr. Yan said, if one group of corrupt officials is recruited, another group is divided, and another group of corrupt officials is suppressed, then it is estimated that the number of corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty will be reduced by at least half? ! ! 】

[The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death; similarly, if an official really reaches the point where his whole family will starve to death if he does not become corrupt, then how can the emperor be able to deter the corrupt officials even if he kills as many corrupt officials as possible? What about corrupt officials? ! ! 】

[After all, if you don’t get corrupt, the whole family will starve to death; if you get corrupt, your father will find out later, and the whole family will die. 】

[In this way, if you think with your feet, those officials will choose the former, at least they can live for a while longer if they are corrupted. 】

......

At this moment, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Yan, Zhu Di and other princes more or less had some ideas in their minds about how to govern and solve the problem of the endless emergence of corrupt officials.

At least they will no longer solve the problem of corrupt officials by killing like their father Zhu Yuanzhang.

At the end, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent. He never thought about why corrupt officials became corrupt officials.

Because in his opinion, a corrupt official is a corrupt official, so there are so many reasons!

In other words, the most fundamental reason why those officials become corrupt officials is because those officials are not greedy and their hearts are greedy! ! !

So in the face of these corrupt officials, killing is over.

But now Yan Changqing told him that not all corrupt officials became corrupt officials for the same reason.

There are a large number of officials who are not willing to become corrupt officials at the beginning, and he has the ability to prevent them from becoming corrupt officials.

However, apart from only thinking about deterring those corrupt officials through continuous bloody killings, he never thought about whether he could further guide these officials from other aspects so as to prevent them from degenerating into corrupt officials.

Looking at the silent Zhu Yuanzhang, Yan Changqing sighed softly and said:

"Your Majesty is a saint, but His Majesty cannot require all the officials under your command to be saints."

"Most officials are just ordinary people with their own needs."

"They also want to pursue a better life, to be respected by more people, and to have higher power and status."

"People have their own desires, and this is understandable."

"As long as we can grasp this degree, the top will not harm the country, the bottom will not oppress the people, and the middle will not violate the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"So whether they want to pursue a better life, or want to be respected by more people, or to have higher power and status."

"These should be within a range that can be tolerated and accepted by His Majesty."

"However, what kind of officials are those officials that your majesty expects in your eyes?!!

"In the eyes of His Majesty, it is best for all officials to live a simple life, not extravagant, wasteful, and competitive with each other, less likely to participate in gatherings, and to interact with each other, and to work hard for the country, the public, and the people. For the sake of the imperial court, the country, and the people of Li, he will go through fire and water, and he will die without hesitation..."

"But such an official, what kind of official?!"

"That is a famous minister and virtuous minister who is enough to be recorded in history books and has a long history like Zhou Gong and Zhuge Wuhou!!!"

"And for thousands of years, how many officials like Zhou Gong and Zhuge Wuhou have been searched through the history books?!"

"Don't your Majesty feel a little harsh when you use famous ministers and virtuous ministers who are worthy of being called saints like Zhou Gong and Zhuge Wuhou to demand those officials under your rule?!"

In Yan Changqing's view, Zhu Yuanzhang's requirements for officials are indeed a bit too high.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, an official can only live a simple life, avoid extravagance, waste, and comparison with each other, participate in parties less, and interact with each other, and work hard for the country, the public, and the people. The common people go through fire and water, and die without hesitation... Only then can they be regarded as a good official.

Is such an official a good official? ! !

Of course he is a good official! ! !

Simply good couldn't be better! ! !

But the question is, how many such officials have been written in history books for thousands of years? ! !

I don't even mention the records in the past history books, just say that there were 270 in the Guozuo of the Ming Dynasty in 0...

It is estimated that there are only a few people such as Yu Qian, Hai Rui, and Wang Yangming who can really meet the requirements of this good official in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Not to mention ten fingers, maybe even five fingers can count.

Why can ministers like Yu Qian, Hai Rui, and Wang Yangming be recorded in the history books, and they will be immortalized and sung through the ages? ! !

One of the most simple and straightforward reasons is that there are too few ministers who can do this kind of thing! ! !

If all the ministers can live a simple life, avoid extravagance, waste, and comparison with each other, participate in parties less, and interact with each other, and work hard for the country, the public, and the people, and even prefer to serve the court, the country, and the people. The common people go through fire and water, and die without hesitation...

Then Yu Qian, Hai Rui, Wang Yangming and others are not qualified to enter the history books, and they will be sung and sung by later generations through the ages.

It is precisely because most ministers are unable to do so that the deeds of ministers such as Yu Qian, Hai Rui, and Wang Yangming need to be recorded in history books.

In order to attract more ministers in the future, follow the example of Yu Qian, Hai Rui, Wang Yangming and others, and strive to become the next eternal virtuous minister who will help the society and serve the country and the people.

Similarly, it is precisely because most ministers are unable to do such things that can be called saints, so they should be asked of those ministers with a reasonable request that is within the reach of normal manpower.

Instead of asking those ministers with the request of a saint.

Because most of the ministers are just ordinary people in essence!

Most people are officials, but they don't really expect that they can be famous in history books, be sung through the ages, and be famous forever like Zhou Gong and Zhuge Wuhou.

The 0.3 they think is actually very simple, which is to improve their living conditions through being an official, so that they, their families, and clans can live better.

At the same time, if you can do some good and practical things for the people, so that you can be loved by the people, then your life will be basically perfect.

In other words, this is just their vision of their perfect life.

Life achievements like Duke Zhou and Marquis Zhuge Wu are too lofty. Although they will think about it in their dreams, they don't really think that they can do things like Duke Zhou and Marquis Zhuge Wu.

After all, how much ability they have, they still have a little bit in their hearts.

Therefore, like most officials, as long as they can be loyal to their duties, do things for the country and the people, do not corrupt the law, and do not practice favoritism, then it is enough to be called a good official.

Chapter 197: Basic salary + reward commission + performance appraisal, opening the era of introversion by officials in the Ming Dynasty [Please subscribe, please order in full]

"So, we have to increase the salary of this official by a large amount, so as to prevent the second and third types of officials you mentioned from becoming corrupt officials for one reason or another? !!"

Zhu Yuanzhang still looked at Yan Changqing with an unhappy expression and said in a muffled voice.

Although he still feels very uncomfortable about raising the salary of officials.

But after listening to Yan Changqing's explanation, he also understood in his heart that the salary of this official should indeed be increased.

Raising the salaries of officials is not for the sake of high salaries to maintain integrity, nor is it to completely eradicate the corruption of those officials, let alone to support the huge corruption of the country.

It is to give those officials who do not want to be corrupt, but because their salaries are not enough to support their families, a chance to stand upright in front of their families and face the court with a clear conscience.

At the same time, it is also to divide and win over officials who do not want to be corrupt, but are corrupt for various reasons, so that these officials can try to avoid degenerating as corrupt officials.

Yan Changqing smiled and said:

"The salaries and benefits of Ming officials must be increased, but it cannot be increased directly and simply."

"Because if His Majesty raised the salaries of those officials so simply and directly, then those officials would be grateful to His Majesty even for a while."

"But after a while, they will take it for granted that they should have this high salary."

"Perhaps the number of corrupt officials can be reduced a lot in the future, but apart from this, His Majesty's increased salary has not played a greater role."

"In this case, doesn't Your Majesty feel that the salaries he raised for officials are a bit too wasteful and a pity?!"

Listening to Yan Changqing's last meaningful words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became very interested.

He was very resistant to things like raising the salaries of officials, but if Yan Changqing had any way to toss those officials, but it would be beneficial to the operation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang would undoubtedly be very interested.

So Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked:

"It's really a waste and a pity, so what idea does Mr. Yan have for us to recover this part of the loss?!"

"At least let our increased salary be worth the money!!!"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Yan Changqing smiled even more happily.

In his previous life, he was involuntarily vomited by various scroll kings, scroll monsters, scroll gods, etc. Now it is finally his turn to let others try the feeling of being forced to involuntarily.

Thinking of this, Yan Changqing said to Zhu Yuanzhang without hesitation:

"I suggest that Your Majesty, implement a comprehensive salary model of basic salary + bonus commission + performance appraisal!!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his brows lightly and muttered softly:

"Basic salary?!"

Prince Zhu Biao's eyes were curious, and he said thoughtfully:

"Reward commission?!"

Yan Wang Zhu Di lowered his eyes and murmured to himself:

"Performance review?!!"

The princes Zhu Yu, Zhu Yan, Zhu Wei, etc. couldn't help but repeat what Yan Changqing said, while thinking:

"Comprehensive salary model of base salary + reward commission + performance appraisal?!"

Yan Changqing nodded and said:

"That's right, it's the comprehensive salary model of basic salary + bonus commission + performance appraisal."

"The so-called base salary is the current salary treatment of Ming officials."

"This part is a fixed salary income that guarantees income from drought and flood. In other words, it doesn't matter whether the officials of Ming Dynasty do well or do poorly."

"The officials of the Ming Dynasty all have such a fixed salary, which will not increase or decrease."

"And this fixed salary, if the officials live a simple life, do not spend extravagantly, waste, compare each other, participate in parties less, and interact with each other, then it can support the needs of the officials' families."

"But, that's all."

"If officials want to live a better life and get more salary, then they have to rely on rewards."

"For example, for example, the imperial court wants to promote the cultivation of potatoes to all over the world within five years. For this reason, the imperial court took out 10 taels as a commission reward."

"Then within a year, the officials who take the lead in completing the promotion and planting of potatoes under their rule will be rewarded with a commission of 1 taels of silver."

"Within two years, officials who have completed the promotion and planting of potatoes under their rule will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver."

"Within three years, officials who have completed the promotion and planting of potatoes under their rule will be rewarded with a commission of 100 taels of silver."

"By analogy, the first to complete the potato promotion planter gets first, until all the silver rewards of the 10 taels reward commission are distributed."

"This is the reward commission."

"With 360 five days a year, there are so many state affairs and political affairs that need to be promoted, governed, and completed by the imperial court."

"Then it is possible to set different amounts of rewards and commissions according to the importance of those state affairs and political affairs, and the size and scope involved."

"In this way, as long as these officials have outstanding abilities, they will work hard to complete various state and political tasks assigned by the court."

"Then after one year, these officials will naturally be able to obtain more legal and reasonable income through their own efforts and through this legitimate means of job competition!!!"

"I don't dare to say anything else at that time, but at least these officials want to communicate with each other, so they can do so generously, and if they want to live a prosperous life, they can also live a prosperous life."

"And as long as they work hard to complete the various convenience and benefit policies arranged by the imperial court, then after a long time, the common people will naturally notice their performance."

"It doesn't matter whether they are doing it for commission or out of sincerity, as long as their behavior is loving and beneficial to the people, the people will naturally love them gradually."

"In this way, whether it is the money needed to meet the needs of a prosperous life, or the reputation that can be respected and loved by others, they can get it all!!!"
