In June, the weather in Qingzhou suddenly became hot.
At this time of the year, he is very nostalgic for the contemporary T-shirt and big pants. After all, compared with such a cool dress, he can only wear dragon robes everywhere now.
Fortunately, he was the emperor and was always attended by people. In order not to be distracted by the heat when dealing with government affairs, he asked Qian Dafu to find saltpeter and water. At the same time, he asked the equipment department to make a hand fan.
Saltpeter will absorb a lot of heat in water when it meets with water, causing water to freeze. The fan can blow this cold wind over.
In this way, it is cool and humid, and the effect is not much different from installing an air conditioner in the house.
The only disadvantage is that it needs to consume the strategic resource of saltpeter. However, since taking control of Bashu, the Department of minerals has taken over the saltpeter cave in Sichuan, and finally he does not have to worry about the lack of saltpeter resources.
In the past, when Xiao Ming was dealing with government affairs, Qian Dafu always stood outside the door, but now he is standing inside.
This is Xiao Ming's understanding of his hard work. This move is very small, but it makes Qian Dafu very moved.
Just as he was enjoying the cool inside, a little eunuch came to the door. Qian Dafu asked the little eunuch and went back to the house.
"Emperor, the Korean mission has arrived in Qingzhou and is arranged by the Foreign Affairs Office in Jinxiu restaurant." Qian Dafu said.
Xiao Ming was correcting the fold he had sent. He raised his head and pondered for a while. He said, "I'll see them tomorrow, but I'm not in the mood today."
Qian Dafu answered, turned around and asked the eunuch to inform the foreign affairs office. Then he turned back and asked, "the emperor was very happy just now. Why is he in no mood now?"
Xiao Ming has always trusted Qian Dafu. He likes to talk to him if he has anything to say. With a sigh, he said, "it's not the corruption of officials. It's only a few years since I've been on the throne. These officials can't help helping themselves to make money."
"So that's it." Qian Dafu thought for a moment and said, "at the beginning of the great Chongqing state, the problem of official corruption has become more and more serious. In that year, Emperor Gaozu was so angry that tens of thousands of officials were decapitated that there was a lack of officials everywhere in the great Chongqing state. But this still can't be cured. Although some of the officials in the great Chongqing state graduated from Qingzhou University, most of them were old officials I'm used to corruption. How can I stop it? "
Xiao Ming nodded. Qian Dafu was right. 80% of the corruption problem was caused by old officials, and 20% by officials from Qingzhou University.
This is just the fold sent by the supervisory court, and the officials who have not been found estimate that it is more.
Xiao Ming sometimes feels powerless about this problem. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, almost killed all the officials, but he didn't stop it. Now how can he solve this problem?
After pondering for a while, he said: "the radical cure of corruption does not lie in killing, but in changing customs. For thousands of years, the Confucian etiquette of reciprocity is the root of corruption. This is a kind of corruption culture. As long as the soil of this culture is not eradicated, the state of Chongqing will be corrupt forever."
At this moment, Xiao Ming thought that it was very important to develop science and technology, but it was also important to eradicate some dross culture. Of course, Confucian etiquette was about etiquette.
But after thousands of years of inheritance, this kind of etiquette has gradually extended to the need to give gifts.
In addition to this custom, the relationship society and the human relationship society are also different from his own, because it is essentially a continuation of the clan relationship and also a drawback that hinders the realization of the rule of law in Dayu.
In this kind of relationship, officials accept bribes through human feelings, so that the law is trampled on.
at the same time, as an official, the whole family is promoted to heaven. For a long time, in places where the ruling power of the imperial court is weak, clan forces will appear to control a certain government department or even the government affairs of a certain place.
"Changing customs, changing customs..." Xiao Ming kept repeating, because this is the fundamental solution, and also the key to avoid the rule of the rise and fall of dynasties.
Qian Dafu is already gaping. The solution proposed by Xiao Ming is something he has never heard of.
"Emperor, the people of Dayu are used to this kind of life. How difficult is it to change it?" Qian Dafu shook his head.
"It's hard to say, and it's not hard to say. The imperial court represents the law, while Confucianism represents the moral restraint of the people. Naturally, we should start from the cultural foundation to change the customs. If Confucianism changes the customs, the state of Dayu will change the customs." Xiao Ming said.
Through seven years of observation, Xiao Ming found that the concept of Confucianism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and their status in the hearts of the people is not inferior to that of Western Christianity.
Christian believers abide by the doctrines, while officials and people who trust Confucianism abide by the ideas of Confucianism.
If the people use the spirit of soaking pig cage to deal with corruption, the problem of corruption in Dayu will be solved.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ming thinks that it is right that Confucianism has not been completely eradicated. Maybe he can be both a great Confucian and an emperor of the state of Dayu, and cure the maladies of the state of Dayu for thousands of years from both material and spiritual aspects.
Qian Dafu stares at Xiao Ming in a daze. He feels that the emperor who never follows the rules is going to make a big noise again."By the way, where are the three of them now?"
Xiao Ming asked, this matter naturally needs three people to cooperate.
He decided to create a century of deception, so that the three people become the great Confucians of the new era, through their works to influence the thoughts of the people of Dayu.
Of course, this idea must pass through his hand.
"They were in Qufu. After the news of the victory of the Northern Expedition came back, the three men went to Qufu. I have to say that the three men were also extremely clever. With the victory of the northern expedition, they had more confidence."
Xiao Ming nodded gently, "let them come back to see me."
"Yes, Emperor." Qian Dafu answered.
After thinking about it, Xiao Ming wrote a written reply to the memorial. Although it is necessary to change the customs, these corrupt officials should also give heavy blows. Otherwise, the punishment is light and less threatening, which can not cause a shock to the current officialdom.
After correcting the memorial, Xiao Ming began to think about how to deal with Korea.
It is obvious that Korea is just fish on the chopping board for him now. Even if Korea and he work hard, the final result is just defeat.
However, the war of subduing people without fighting is always better than military force. Since Koryo chose to surrender, he would take this opportunity to assimilate Koryo and turn it into a prefecture of the state of Dayu.
It may be a long time, but it is not a wise choice to keep an unstable factor around Dayu.
Therefore, what he has to do is assimilate, erase the history of Korea, and let the Korean people tame.
