Dominate the Country

After Chen Han formulated a series of laws and regulations, no matter how harsh and severe they were, Chen Ming had full power to strictly implement these laws and regulations.

As the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty, he was an absolute poisoner of power. As long as he pushed forward what he wanted to do, the laws and regulations he enacted would never be like the rabbit in his previous life. .

The Rabbits in Chen Ming's previous life began to formulate business policies for the children of relatives of relevant officials in 1985. In the 21st century, they have successively introduced specific regulations and certain guidelines for clean and honest politics. The real problem of the Rabbits is not the lack of regulations and systems, but the lack of regulations and systems. It lies in implementation.

Maybe the impact of the opening was too great. In order to stabilize the high-level situation, the Second and Third Generations did not implement the laws and regulations that had been enacted. As a result, no matter how good the regulations and systems were, they became a pile of waste paper. There are endless incidents of violations of laws and disciplines among the first and third generations, and the bad influence has always existed and is getting more and more serious.

Rabbit's sign is that Chen Han will continue to teach him a lesson.

Fortunately, Chen Ming was the founding emperor of the country, with high prestige and huge power. He was able to follow his words and regulate the world. If it were a traditional Chinese dynasty, the legal system left by Chen Ming decades later would be the law of the ancestors.

"The vitality of the system lies in its execution. Systems and regulations are formulated by people, and they also need people to implement them. No matter how good the system and regulations are, if they are just words and hanging on the wall without execution or implementation, they are still nothing. . The regulations issued by the court this time need to be worked hard in terms of operability and execution. If we can truly put the word "strict" in the forefront, dare to confront the tough, and stick to it, I believe it will definitely bring great benefits to the construction of clean government across the country. A huge boost.

Of course, regulating the business and enterprise issues of relatives of officials is only one aspect of preventing violations of law, discipline and corruption. The most important thing is to solve the root problem, that is, the regulation of power.

There are examples for reference: In order to standardize official reception, Shanghai clearly requires that before reimbursement, you must first fill in the official reception form and provide the documentary basis for the reception. When reimbursing, the name, unit, and level of the party being received must be left on the reception form for future reference. After inspection in the future, it will be found that some people are eating, drinking and having fun under the guise of hosting, and the phenomenon of false invoicing has been basically eliminated. To put it bluntly, as long as you control your wallet, you will naturally control your mouth. Similarly, the key to preventing officials from violating laws, discipline and corruption is to control the power in the hands of officials and put power into a cage of the system so that power does not dare to be used for private purposes. Law-breaking, discipline and corruption will naturally have no market. "

Having been a leading cadre for more than ten years, Chen Ming can speak such high-sounding words very smoothly.

What can Chen Cong and Wang Huizu do? The emperor was worried, and his ministers relieved him of his troubles. Especially in recent times, the negative news about the "second generation of officials" is indeed true, so it is obvious that this is an issue that requires officials to reflect on.

Regarding the management of people around officials, including relatives and children, this is really something that has been repeatedly emphasized. Don't always think that the affairs of relatives and children are private matters, trivial matters, things that the court should not have to deal with and that you can take care of.

Various phenomena in his previous life have told Chen Ming that he must not be confused about this issue. The legal alarm has been sounded countless times, and managing relatives is by no means a "private matter."

"Officials should always check their own words and deeds, and at the same time pay full attention to the words and deeds of those around them, including relatives. This is their duty and conscience. Only in this way can we have a clear conscience and be magnanimous. We can relax and take care of those around us. People who make demands and think that they don’t need to be cared about or shouldn’t be cared for will often end up being burdened by them and even be implicated, affecting their own future and destiny.”

"Look at the people who have fallen in these corruption cases? Some cadres do not hesitate to trade state laws and use public power for personal gain for the selfish interests of their children; some let their children use their own names to extort money in doing business. Seeking improper benefits; some are willing to serve as a protective umbrella for their children Illegal activities provide channels and resources. The result of all these must be harm to both the children and themselves. In the end, everyone will be betrayed and family ties will be lost. This is not only a personal tragedy, but also a great harm to the country. The lessons were many and painful.”

"Therefore, our officials at all levels must regard managing their children well as a major matter, a matter related to their political future and destiny, and take it seriously and keep it in mind." Chen Ming mumbled without citing specific examples. Du Lala talked a lot, but at the end of the year, this incident suddenly happened, and there was such an additional blame to be shouldered, and a group of people below felt very bitter.

"Chen Zifeng, this little bastard, does a lot of harm to people."

The only two military bosses, Chen Erbao and Chen Quan, got into the same carriage on the way back to the Governor's Mansion. The end of the year is the busiest time for the Governor's Office, especially Chen Quan, who is acting as the Logistics Department, with his feet firmly on the ground, wishing he could imitate Sun Wukong's clone method. But now that such an errand happened to them, the two of them had no sense of honor at all, and all they had was gnashing their teeth at Chen Zifeng.

"The most unlucky one is Wen Yue. This matter cannot be hidden at all. Sooner or later it will spread throughout the officialdom... It's a pity for Wen Yue..." Chen Erbao lamented that Chen Wenyue's future is bleak.

People's opinions make gold, but accumulation destroys bones. There is another shackle on the official's head. Who doesn't want to worry about this? If we trace the source, it will only be Chen Wenyue who is annoyed in the end. It is the fault of a son not to teach his father. "I hope this is a wake-up call for everyone."

The emperor was not lying. Managing the people around him is indeed a kind of responsibility for his political life.

In recent years, the court has imposed more and more restrictions on officials. However, if we count these laws, the laws and regulations that the emperor is going to formulate are definitely the worst among many laws. If this set of laws and regulations is officially introduced, too many people in the court and the opposition will suffer losses.

If these people are given the courage to blame the emperor, then I don’t know how many people will blame Chen Wenyue and his son for this fuse. Chen Wenyue is lucky to keep his current position, let alone move up to a higher level.

"Alas, it is getting harder and harder to be an official in the court. No wonder some people say that being an official is not as comfortable as doing business..."

Chen Quan's youngest son was unwilling to enter the officialdom, but entered the Central Finance College to study, preparing to venture into the business world after graduation. In his words, it is more comfortable and free to have power than money.

The carriage rolled towards the Grand Commander's Mansion, just like the time that never stopped. The pace of time has never stopped because of what happened in the world. The ten days before the New Year passed lightly in her footsteps, and the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month also came silently in the passage of time.

The whole city of Nanjing experienced the bustle before and after the New Year. There is no need to describe how the city is decorated with lights and colors. But those ordinary people who celebrated the New Year did not notice the silence of the officials and nobles in Nanjing during the year.

There is no wall that is impenetrable in the world. The task that Chen Ming gave was soon known to the nobles and important officials, because those people with important identities, in addition to the guests in the mansion, had to attract judicial officials, lawyers and even professors of the Judicial College to plan for themselves. This matter inevitably spread out, but the latter mostly thought it was Chen Cong's own behavior. A few people with sharp eyes saw the mystery and kept silent one by one.

During this New Year, good news came one after another from North America, Nanmingzhou, Nanyang, Annan, India, and the battlefields of Siam and Burma. It seemed that the ships sent by those places to report the news were just coincident, and the good news was all concentrated around the New Year.

But this did not affect the low atmosphere of the senior figures in Nanjing City.

For these dignitaries of Chen Han, the changes in the world are not as important as the changes in their own policies. Before the new overseas lands have formed real huge benefits, they still focus 70% to 80% of their energy on the domestic market.

One is now, and the other is the future. The former is the most important, and the latter is too slim.

The failure of a newly opened base in Nanmingzhou, the failure of the Siamese in Burma, and even the failure of the North American Expeditionary Force in Mexico, all of these will not affect the overall situation and cannot harm their direct interests. If they fail, then start again.

China has the capital to bear all this.

Only at home. The will of the emperor, the ideas of the big guys, any changes may have a profound impact on the entire situation.

No one will give up their roots, so throughout the New Year, the top leaders in Nanjing were actually discussing and speculating about the legendary set of laws and regulations.

Anyone with a brain should know that the restrictions on them will be further deepened after the introduction of this set of laws. However, the powerful class of Chen Han did not think of resisting, and all they could do was to bear it silently. Then, before the law was introduced, they cleaned up their own head and tail.

The common people were happy and happy for a better life, for a brighter hope, and for a better world. But they didn't know that in less than a month, many things had happened to the top leaders.

Another thing was a vague feeling that during this New Year, the children of nobles fought and made trouble less and less. Or to be more precise, the number of children of nobles wandering in the Qinhuai River during this New Year was greatly reduced. Chen Zifeng's previous experience was still there, and the "rich children" in Nanjing suddenly became gentle.

Even when drinking wine, he would send a car to invite the girls to his own courtyard instead of going to Qinhuai River in person.

Chen Ming, who stayed in the deep palace, built his own world with his own ideas, and his thoughts were gradually integrated into it. Although he changed only a little bit in many cases, society is advancing and evolving. As time goes by, a little change can often affect a large area. This is like tin plague. When the temperature drops below minus 13.2℃, tin will gradually change from silvery white to a coal ash-like powder. A light touch will turn into a pile of powder, which is called "gray tin". There is another interesting phenomenon in the transformation from white tin to gray tin, that is, gray tin is "contagious". As long as white tin touches gray tin, even a little bit, white tin will immediately turn into gray tin until the whole piece of white tin is destroyed.

Chen Ming's approach is similar to this.

He did not read the seven words "governing a big country is like cooking a small fish" thoroughly, but because his brain was empty at the beginning. Facing a huge empire inherited from the previous year, Chen Ming wanted to change it but didn't know how to change it, and he didn't have a systematic concept in his mind. He could only be cautious. He changed this country little by little and infiltrated his thoughts into this country.

Culture, military, politics, economy, folk customs...

In the past few years, Chen Ming has been changing the country. His actions are much lighter than those emperors in history who are famous for reform. He uses his clumsy political wisdom to guide public opinion and take advantage of the situation, whether it is the reform of the imperial examination or the customs and folkways; no matter how inferior Chen Ming's skills are, he rarely forces all classes to bow their heads and obey. Perhaps he really does not have the domineering power of the First Emperor and Zhu Hongwu, nor the toughness of Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng. But God is lucky to let him be born in this era. There is no powerful enemy around China that puts great pressure on China, and the Westerners have already discovered so many colonies, which gives Chen Ming enough targets to divert domestic conflicts.

The power and benefits held by the founding heroes of Chen Han cannot be said to be the least in all dynasties, but compared with their obedience to the law - not long after the official founding of the country, taking advantage of the opportunity of the national military reorganization, Chen Ming almost took away the real power of all the generals, established the four major departments of General Logistics, General Staff, Equipment Department [Military Industry System] and General Politics under the jurisdiction of the Grand Commandery, plus the military department under the cabinet, and all the rights were distributed, which greatly restricted the influence of a single person and a single faction in the army.

But all these nobles of Chen Han obeyed the deployment obediently. In addition to Chen Ming's undisputed supreme influence in the army, it may be that Chen Ming took out the temptation of overseas vassalage to attract them.

The current scene is also the same. Everything is exposed, and there is still a Chen Wenyue father and son who attract hatred for him. Chen Ming sometimes felt that he was not aggressive enough in his actions, but seeing the situation changing and the situation moving in a good direction, he accepted it. Now he hoped that his political skills would improve by leaps and bounds, so that his methods of stirring up public opinion would be more ingenious and more covert.
