Chapter 2046 Complaint
But Emperor Xuanming was furious, and slapped the table with his hands: "Presumptuous, giving valuables for promotion is corruption and bribery! Taking advantage of one's position to embezzle is a felony! I still have to find a way for them."
Chu Heng waited for Emperor Xuanming's anger to dissipate a little before saying: "The emperor calms down. What I pointed out is too common among local officials."
"Speaking of this, I have to mention what I said just now. First, it is the courtesy of the court to increase the salaries of officials. Second, if corruption and bribery still occur after raising the salaries of officials, then the court will naturally not Soft-handed, dealt with directly according to the law, and can live a good life on salary alone, coupled with the strict supervision of the court, officials who are less courageous, naturally dare not be 'forced' to do wrong things anymore, after all, most officials did not do wrong things at first. I have been in contact with officialdom, and it is relatively clean.”
"At the same time, the DPRK and China have explicitly prohibited officials from accepting heavy gifts. In this way, this matter will be resolved. In addition, there is a special supervision office. As long as evidence is obtained, corrupt officials will be sacked. It will never be so serious again, and maybe after ten or twenty years, the entire officialdom in Dachu will be clear." A longing flashed in Chu Heng's eyes.
He will not be corrupt, but he also hopes to clear up the entire officialdom and have more officials who do practical things. Only in this way can the entire Great Chu really usher in a prosperous age.
Emperor Xuanming was silent. He actually agreed with Chu Heng's words in his heart. Although it is difficult to implement this matter, if a special supervisory agency is really established, as long as the supervisory agency is in his hands, he will be afraid that any minister will be able to do it in private. mutiny?
He was so excited that he was silent for a while without speaking.
Chu Heng did not urge, this kind of major event cannot be changed overnight, even Emperor Xuanming may not be able to realize it as soon as it is said.
"I will read these notes carefully, and I will also consider what you said about establishing a new government office."
Although he didn't get an affirmative answer, Chu Heng was already very satisfied.
Immediately after, he talked about other things.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to report today."
"What's the matter?" Emperor Xuanming was in a good mood, although Chu Heng's suggestion, after it was implemented, would have an impact on the entire Great Chu without even thinking about it.
But it is undeniable that he is an emperor, so he naturally wants to see the prosperity!
"I feel that the law can be improved."
Chu Heng said and handed over another brochure.
When Emperor Xuanming met Chu Heng, he didn't let the servants stay in the hall.
So Chu Heng submitted it in person.
"Law?" Emperor Xuanming didn't know what he was thinking when he heard his words, but he was sure that he paid more attention to this aspect.
"Yes, there are not only the laws of the Ministry of Punishment, but also the laws on business that need to be improved. For example, when court officials buy goods, they must not be lower than 80% of the market price. Otherwise, they will be treated as bribes, and the final number of years will be handled according to the amount of bribes."
"I can think of this, it is Taifu Deng who reminded me." Chu Heng didn't mind expressing his dissatisfaction with Taifu Deng in front of Emperor Xuanming at all.
Emperor Xuanming frowned when he heard Taifu Deng mentioned, "What's wrong with you?"
Emperor Xuanming had a strange look on his face. He didn't even read the booklet, and looked at Chu Heng leisurely, clearly asking him to talk about it.
Chu Heng did not disappoint him, "The wife of the minister's family went to buy a shop with Mrs. Deng today."
