Chapter 249 Profitable? The way to check and balance!(1/2)
"Thank you, Grandson! Building and building national roads is the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry."
“The Ministry of Industry should be in charge!”
Soon, ministers appeared to offer advice.
But another minister immediately stood up to refute.
"Your Highness, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs to check the fields and money flows."
"The Ministry of Works does not have the capability! The Ministry of Household Affairs should be in charge!"
I saw that people from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Works were about to start a quarrel.
Another person stood up.
"No, no."
"Your Highness, I believe that neither the Ministry of Household Affairs nor the Ministry of Industry has this responsibility. The purchase of land from farmers must be handled by local officials."
"The money should be allocated and allowed to be hosted by local officials."
…
For a time, all kinds of comments were made in the court.
Many ministers were quarreling.
Everyone wants a piece of the pie, and everyone knows how amazing the benefits are!
It's just that everyone has a tacit understanding.
He never mentions interests, but only thinks about Ming Dynasty.
I want to do something for my grandson.
Why couldn't Zhu Yunxuan see what these people were thinking?
But there is no point in trying to expose them right now.
Such is the human heart, it will not die until it reaches the Yellow River, and it will not shed tears until it sees the coffin!
They will never know any regret until they actually catch them!
I don't take it seriously.
On the contrary, they will feel resentful towards him and feel that he is blocking their way of making money.
What Zhu Yunzhen has to do is to try to satisfy everyone while minimizing the opportunities for corruption.
Corruption...is inevitable in the face of such a huge project.
Even in the past life, everyone has a common consensus.
Engineering is the most profitable!
The same applies to the Ming Dynasty!
"Everyone, I feel a little confused after hearing what you said."
Zhu Yunxuan had a "confused" look on his face.
Said: "One moment it is the Ministry of Industry, another moment it is the Ministry of Household Affairs, and another moment it is a local official."
"This matter is so complicated?"
Zhu Yunzhen asked the ministers pretending not to know.
The ministers looked at each other.
They reached a consensus in their hearts and replied in unison: "Your Highness, this matter is really complicated."
"This charter... I'm afraid I won't be able to get it out for a while!"
"Why don't we discuss it another day?"
Now that everyone is arguing with each other, it is better to leave the court early and discuss it in private after the morning court.
achieve an exchange of benefits.
When we go to court tomorrow morning, everyone will be on the same page.
It's like sharing the benefits.
No one suffers!
But Zhu Yunzhen would let them achieve their wishes so easily?
Faced with this interest, it is impossible for no one to be unmoved. Zhu Yunzhen understands, but he will not choose to let it go!
"I see."
Zhu Yunxuan looked like he suddenly realized something.
Then he said: "Since it is so complicated, I'm afraid you alone don't know when the result will be obtained."
"It just so happens that many feudal princes have returned to Beijing, and there is nothing for them to do for a while."
"so be it."
"The matter of redeeming the land will be in charge of the king of Qi."
Zhu Yunxuan made the final decision and directly handed over the matter of redeeming the land to Qi King Zhu Su.
"In addition, local officials are asked to assist in this matter."
"The Ministry of Industry only needs to be responsible for route planning and the terrain is good."
"The Account Department is responsible for money expenditures, and every account must be carefully checked!"
Zhu Yunxuan actually had an idea in mind.
It is absolutely impossible for him to hand over such a hugely profitable matter to any department to take charge of it. This is no different from forcing the officials within to commit corruption.
After all, who wouldn’t be tempted by such a huge benefit?
If you want Ming Dynasty officials to be non-corrupt, in the final analysis, you still need to improve the system.
Try to give officials as little opportunity as possible to become corrupt.
Then use strict punishments and laws to prevent officials from being corrupt!
A two-pronged approach can truly eliminate corruption!
"What? Let the feudal lord take charge?!"
For a time, all the courtiers were shocked.
Zhu Yunzhen looked from above and saw that all the officials were like ants on a hot pot, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Inside the Fengtian Hall, it felt like a pot had exploded.
Various voices came, and the officials whispered to each other from time to time.
"quiet!"
The palace man's sharp voice sounded.
The guard outside the door touched his spear to the ground.
Shock the officials.
This allowed the officials to calm down and restore order.
And after order is restored.
A minister from the Councilor's Office immediately stood up.
He objected: "Your Highness! This is absolutely impossible!"
"The feudal king must not take charge of this matter!"
At this moment, the minister had no choice but to reveal the 'secret' inside.
"The benefits of redeeming the land are huge. If the vassal king harbors evil intentions and profits from it, he can use countless silver taels to win over officials and build an army."
"Wouldn't it cause a huge disaster?!"
The Chancellor of the Council had little to do with this matter.
I didn't break it before.
It's just because they, as officials, have the final say in handling government affairs, and they are only subordinate to Taisun. They have a share of this benefit no matter what.
But compared to the possibility of rebellion by the feudal king.
This benefit seems insignificant again.
After all, who knows if the Advisory Office will still be there after a new leader is replaced?
You know, Lao Zhu deposed the Prime Minister!
Although the advisory office established by Zhu Yunxuan was only equivalent to a dismembered and mutilated prime minister, it still had such powers!
Given time, he may not be able to become a real prime minister!
To be continued...
