Chapter 505 503 Building a Better Qi State

"The king has high expectations for you, and the reward he gives you will definitely satisfy you. But I told you in advance that the title of nobility is just a nominal position. If you want to develop in the officialdom, you must have the ability to show it!

Before coming, I didn't have much confidence in Brother Zhai Yun, but after seeing your collections, I think Brother Zhai Yun should have a future."

Zheng Shaoguan didn't say it directly.

Zhai Yun heard it, but he laughed: "Bowan Silver Mine and these things are all presented to the king, as long as the king likes it."

"Not because of these things."

Zheng Shaoguan shook his head.

"What is it for?"

Zhai Yun scratched his head.

If not for these things, is it for me as a person?

Zheng Shaoguan said: "Of course it's for you as a person."

"Ah?"

Zhai Yun was puzzled.

"You can travel around the world, and your ability to know the sea charts, routes, and go to the distant seas in this world is what the king needs."

Zheng Shaoguan pointed out.

He himself was originally active in the North Sea and the East Sea, and the farthest he went was the South Sea. Most of the time, he traded with neighboring countries near the sea. He had never even been to the Western Luo Kingdom, let alone the more distant Luoyin Continent and Shengfa Continent.

And Zhai Yun, for Qi, which is committed to developing ocean trade, is a piece of the puzzle that makes up for this shortcoming.

After joining Qi, with his understanding of the king and the king's wise eyes, there will be no situation of pearls being cast in the dark. The king can always dig out the abilities of different people and put them in the right positions.

There are no people who cannot be used, only the wrong positions and directions of use.

This big pirate who was spurned by the emperor in the old scene will definitely play his role in the hands of the king.

Zhai Yun is very smart. When he heard what Zheng Shaoguan said, he knew that the other party was pointing at him.

As long as he grasps this positioning and has core competitiveness, maybe he can really make a name for himself in Qi!

He immediately bowed to Zheng Shaoguan and said, "Thank you, Lord Zheng, for your advice!"

Zhai Yun really wanted to be an official. When he failed to become an official, he knew that his identity as a pirate would hinder him, so he changed his eldest son's name and sent him to Jian'an Province to be fostered in a farmer's home, just to get a good reputation and bring honor to the family.

Now his eldest son has been admitted to Wuzhou University.

Zhai Yun's requirements are not high. As long as he becomes an official, his son can change his surname back to his, and he can return home in glory and honor, and he will be very satisfied.

Zheng Shaoguan understood his thoughts, and after discussing with Ren Nuan, Ren Nuan also had a bottom line in his heart.

He took out the conditions offered by the court.

Zhai Yun was conferred the title of Junxiong County Earl, and he enjoyed the treatment of a full-time department. The actual position will be arranged after he enters Beijing to meet the emperor.

"Thank you, Emperor!"

Zhai Yun set up the incense table and welcomed the imperial edict, and he was overjoyed.

Although he has not yet obtained an actual position, he has been overjoyed to be an earl.

This is the second title awarded by Qi after Zheng Shaoguan, and this is of great significance to him!

"Lord Zhai, the King of Qi pays the most attention to public morality and ability when judging people. To be an official in Qi, whether it is the Ministry of Personnel examining civil servants or the Ministry of Defense examining martial arts halls, they do not pay much attention to your personal morality.

The public morality of serving the country and the people, as well as the ability to work, are the most important considerations.

Here, I wish Lord Zhai a prosperous career, loyalty to the king, dedication to the court, and benefit for the people."

Ren Nuan delivered the imperial edict to Zhai Yun and asked him to do so.

Hearing Ren Nuan call him "Lord Zhai", Zhai Yun's bones all lightened by two taels, and the whole person was floating in the air.

Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Thank you Lord Ren for your advice, I will definitely remember your instructions."

Zhai Yun tried hard to change his identity from a pirate leader to an official.

Fortunately, since he became a local resident in Bowan, he has actually governed Junxiong County and other counties on the island. Although the entire Bowan Province only has Junxiong County in the north, Wang'an County in the middle, and Nanwan County in the south, the three counties are so large that there are less than 60,000 people including the natives.

But at least he has governance experience and can be regarded as a civilian official without a black hat.

With this transition, the transformation process is also smooth.

That night, Zhai Yun directed people to move his collection from traveling around the world to the Qingcheng.

He wanted to pull all these things to Qidu and present them to the king.

No matter how hard you work, no matter how well you work, you will die of exhaustion in the fields like an old ox, but it is better to give a pair of socks to the leader.

He understands this principle very well.

The emperor is rich in the world and doesn't care about money at all.

All the people in the world are the king's subjects, and the world is the king's land. If you give too much, he will think that you have embezzled his money, and it is possible that he will have a worse impression of you.

Therefore, giving him rare things that are not available in the world will make it easier to be favored by the emperor.

When the time comes, he will tell the emperor about his experience of traveling around the world. If he can attract the emperor's attention, his future may start from here.

When the Qingcheng left the port with a long "Woo..." sound under the farewell of the people, Ren Pingsheng had already returned to Qidu.

He did not complete his entire journey. After reading a document sent by Liu Qiang of the Ministry of National Defense, he directly stopped the subsequent research trip.

He returned to Beijing with a little anger.

As soon as he returned to Qidu, he called Lao Liu, who had always had no sense of presence, to the palace.

Lao Liu already knew what was going on. After his special car stopped at the entrance of the palace, he hurriedly straightened the veil on his head and entered the palace.

When he walked into the Yuanhe Hall in a hurry, he saw Ren Pingsheng sitting behind the imperial cabinet, with his eyes closed and a bit of chill on his face.

"Your Highness!"

Lao Liuyi bowed his head to the ground and said respectful greetings.

"You know everything?"

Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes and looked at Lao Liu.

Lao Liu nodded: "I know everything."

"This incident caused great indignation in the military! It is also the most egregious case with the most far-reaching impact since the founding of the Kingdom!

It directly affects the unity of the country's army, affects the discipline of the officialdom, affects the court's credibility among the people, affects the image of the country, affects the customs of the people, and affects... this king's face! "

Ren Pingsheng finished speaking slowly, but a heavy pressure was already pressing on Lao Liu's back, making him hunched over.

"Lao Liu, sit down."

Ren Pingsheng said.

The attendant brought up a brocade stool.

After Lao Liu sat down, he said: "This case really annoyed a lot of grassroots officers and soldiers. The matter reached the frontline headquarters and then the Ministry of National Defense.

Brother Qiang usually doesn't see me, but this time he handed the note to my Integrity Department. I rarely see him so angry.

Those insects are so courageous! "

“Capital is a giant beast, we have only unleashed it, but we have not yet shown its claws.

If no one is in charge of them, they may drag the kingdom into the abyss.

As long as there is 50% profit, they dare to take risks, and if there is 100% profit, they dare to trample all the laws of the world.

For them, only the law is not enough, but there is also a sharp sword hanging above their heads! As long as you dare to trample on the law, this sword will fall down promptly and unswervingly! "

Ren Pingsheng planned to use this opportunity to show his determination, measure his muscles, and deter businessmen who dared to violate the law.

Just as Lao Liu was about to answer the call, someone from outside came in and reported: "Your Highness, Xi Jian from the Department of Political Science and Law wants to see you."

"Let him in."

Ren Pingsheng said.

Soon, Xi Jian crossed the threshold and walked in.

"Bless your highness."

After Xi Jian came in, he saluted and said.

"sit down."

Ren Pingsheng was given a seat.

After Xi Jian sat down, he nodded with Lao Liu.

He has a three-inch beard, which is beautifully groomed. Matching his square face, he has a very majestic look.

"Xi Jian is here too, I'll leave this case to you two."

Ren Pingsheng said: "This time, the supplier used illegal means to bribe local officials and the quartermaster of the Army Department to sell some black cotton, rotten cotton, and fake cotton to our Army. It was simply a lie. The courage of a leopard is beyond heaven!

This batch of cotton-padded jackets were sent to the front line. The soldiers were fighting bloody battles with the barbarians, but the cotton-padded jackets harmed their health. Many soldiers suffered frostbite because the cotton-padded jackets did not keep them warm. Some injured soldiers got infected wounds because of this batch of cotton-padded jackets. This caused extremely bad effects among the frontline troops!

This evil trend must be stopped immediately! "

His attitude was very firm and his tone was very stern.

It put great pressure on the two people sitting in the hall.

"This time, we must use the most severe means, strictly and quickly, to bring unscrupulous businessmen to justice, and to bring corrupt officials to justice. Give an explanation to the frontline soldiers, a warning to Qi businessmen, and a warning to Qi businessmen. All people in the world give an attitude.

Liu Shiliu! "

Ren Pingsheng looked at Lao Liu.

"Your Highness!"

Lao Liu stood up quickly.

"The sword of the Ministry of Integrity needs to be sharpened! If you don't cut off a few heads, the people in the world will probably think that your sword is rusty!"

Ren Pingsheng's words made Lao Liu's face turn red.

"After all, the scope of the inspection system of the Ministry of Integrity is too small. Taking this opportunity, from now on, the Ministry of Integrity will dispatch anti-corruption teams to lower levels, ministerial-level working groups to provinces, and provinces to counties. Each county appoints a working group for each county, each county appoints a working group for each town, one level at a time, the superiors supervise the subordinates, and the responsibilities are consolidated layer by layer to form a long-term mechanism!

The Ministry of Integrity, in conjunction with Zhongshuge, dispatched inspection teams to conduct inspections in various provinces every six months, openly and secretly, and conducted detailed inspections among the people.

In addition, find an inconspicuous corner in the streets outside your Integrity Department compound and put a reporting mailbox. All provinces and counties adopt this approach. It's a way to collect clues. "

In addition to these internal supervisions, Ren Pingsheng also plans to launch external supervision.

Today, there are seven newspapers, publications and media in Qi. Except for Qiguo Monthly and Qiguo Daily, which are published nationwide through the post office of the Highway Department, the rest are publications within Wuzhou Province. However, with the convenience of train logistics, these publications have also begun to expand to other provinces.

Journalists in these publications can also be mobilized to cultivate their professional qualities, expose some social problems, expose the darkness in official circles, and give full play to their supervisory role.

However, Ren Nuan is not in Qidu now, so these arrangements will have to wait until he comes back.

"After I go back, I will immediately materialize this, form an implementation plan, and quickly arrange it!"

After listening to this, Lao Liu was excited.

As long as these things are implemented, the Anti-Corruption Department will no longer be the mascot of the Qi court!

In the past, in the officialdom, the name of the Night Owl Organization could stop children from crying at night.

And in the future, in the officialdom, as long as the Anti-Corruption Department does this work well, the officials will be afraid of adding an Anti-Corruption Department.

Xi Jian, who was listening next to him, couldn't help but be shocked at this time.

With the power given by the king, the Anti-Corruption Department, a paper tiger, will become a real tiger that chooses people to devour from today on.

This will definitely be a major change in the officialdom, a big earthquake!

"This time, you will lead the team in person to deal with the corruption of local officials. You must show your skills and use means. If necessary, you can let the local Night Owl Organization cooperate with you.

Make sure to handle this case as quickly as possible!"

Ren Pingsheng said.

"I must go all out!"

Lao Liu said seriously.

"Xijian, all the merchants who committed the crime this time will be arrested, dealt with strictly and severely according to the law, and publicly executed!

The place where the crime was committed this time involves Yuntai Le County.

This is also the place where the king started his career. It is really hateful that such a thing happened under the king's nose!"

Ren Pingsheng ordered Xijian.

"I understand the king's meaning, and I will definitely go all out to bring the offenders to justice!"

Xijian already understood Ren Pingsheng's meaning.

He also knew how to deal with this case.

Since it is the first time that the impact is big and bad, involving merchants' fraud and bribery, officials' bribery, dereliction of duty and other illegal and criminal acts, according to the king's meaning, this time it must be dealt with with the heaviest punishment to serve as a warning to others.

This case will most likely be publicized in the future, and there must not be any details that may be criticized.

It must be done neatly, achieve the purpose, and be perfect and beautiful so that people cannot criticize it.

"At this time, I will send the Zhongshuge Inspection Office to supervise the whole process."

Ren Pingsheng's words made the pressure on the two people even greater.

"Go and do your work."

Ren Pingsheng said.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving after they said goodbye, he was still thinking in his heart.

For Ren Pingsheng, this matter was more profound than the two people imagined.
