Zhan Hui said at the right time: "I don't know what kind of clever plan His Highness Taisun has come up with."

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled it and said: "What Da Sun means is that whether it is a local county or a prefectural city, there is a big drawback, that is, the person in power is almost subordinate to the civil and military officials.

One person governs.”

"When you lose the control of others and have the power in your hands, too many things begin to become completely different."

"It's okay if you have a kind heart, but if you have evil thoughts, it will naturally be easier for you to collude with some landlords and businessmen, and collude with government officials and businessmen."

"If we want to completely stop the corruption trend, we must have people to check each other and act as enemies. It is best to divide them into three parties and use the three-legged power to divide the power in their hands."

"In this way, they will be afraid when breaking the law."

After listening to His Majesty's words, Zhan Hui felt vaguely touched.

What is different from others is that Zhan Hui is a cruel official and has no clan or clique due to some connections.

For example, recommending Liu Bingyuan, the magistrate of Dantu County, is because Liu Bingyuan is indeed talented.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Zhu Yuanzhang has always trusted him in terms of loyalty.

Zhan Hui's self-cultivation is very high. Apart from being a bit mean and a bit sinister, he is a good official.

The father of Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was named Zhan Tong, and he served under Chen Youliang in the late Yuan Dynasty.

Later, Chen Youliang died, and Zhu Yuanzhang recruited him as Doctor Guozi, because there was a shortage of talents at that time, and Zhan Tong was a very talented person.

Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated his talents in writing, and he could also implement some of Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas very well. In many aspects, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied, so Zhu Yuanzhang always valued him and took good care of him.

Even when he was old, Zhu Yuanzhang's care for him did not weaken.

Both father and son are ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, just like the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, which is astonishing.

In fact, Zhan Hui was always monitored by Jin Yiwei for almost twelve hours.

Including those servants, servants, and maids, there are countless people who are secret agents of Jin Yiwei.

Even one of Zhan Hui's side rooms might have some private contact with Jin Yiwei.

Mainly because of the position of Minister of Civil Affairs, the power in his hands is too important.

Throughout the dynasties, what the emperors were most worried about was the collusion among officials.

The Minister of Civil Affairs is the most likely to cause this situation.

The future of middle and low-level officials is almost entirely in the hands of the Ministry of Personnel. Once the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has careful thoughts, the impact will be huge.

Zhan Hui has been the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for many years, and he knows the situation of some local officials by heart.

Hearing His Majesty mention His Majesty the Grand Sun's thoughts, Zhan Hui couldn't help but applaud.

"I heard what your Majesty said is actually a good medicine to cure corruption."

"I have seen too many students here step by step on the road of corruption. His Highness Taisun's words almost go to the core."

"It's just that we need to think more carefully about how to decentralize power here."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "It seems that we have some ideas now. The Public Security Department founded by Da Sun is pursuing this method."

"Dasun is on patrol now, so he can also see whether this method is effective or not."

"If there is a Department of Public Security in a place where corruption is greatly reduced, then we can start implementing it."

"If the situation has not been reduced even after the intervention of the Public Security Department, then we have to look at where the source of this corruption comes from."

"In this way, you can write a charter first. There is no need to go too high. First, decide on the county seat."

"Re-divide the powers held by some officials in the county and specify them in detail."

Zhu Yuanzhang explained.

He wants to try to carry out a reform of the county officials.

Let’s see if the power of a county magistrate is divided and it really has the effect of curbing corruption.

Moreover, after this reform comes out, it can be tried in a large number of counties first.
