Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei - Chapter 680
There is a very real problem here.
That’s… human nature!
The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.
Looking at the world, how many people are officials who are truly dedicated to the people?
Even in later generations, in an era when information was extremely developed, bureaucrats were unavoidable and bureaucratic, let alone this era.
Any policy, no matter how good and good governance, can easily become a channel for officials to scrape oil from the people.
The more the officials have contact with the people, the more opportunities they have to oppress the people!
This is almost inevitable.
The fundamental purpose of rule by inaction is to avoid too much contact between officials and the people, and to reduce the chances of human nature doing evil as much as possible.
Today’s Daheng, the central big government system and the sinking of bottom-level power, obviously run counter to the small government system of inaction.
The imperial court can manage everything, and wants to manage everything!
In this way, although it means that the policy of the imperial court can go directly to the lowest level, it can also easily mobilize all the forces in the world.
But at the same time, it also means that officials at the bottom have many opportunities to contact the people!
Even all aspects of the people are under the control of the lower-level officials.
Instead of the past, before the imperial power was sent to the countryside, the rights were limited to the county level. Although there was a lijia system, it was neither an official nor an official.
The performance of blocking Yinxi is its core, and it is here. Today’s Daheng, obviously… the management is too broad.
Lijia reform, land finance and tax reform, education inspection and education reform, and the state-owned bank business system, etc., the rights are reduced to the grassroots, and the people’s life, old age, illness, death, either, there is the right to control the court, or there is the court. Policy support, all of which are inseparable from officials.
Du Yinxi’s performance is not biased. Strictly speaking, it is more like a debriefing report, in the form of a memorial, telling him what he has seen and heard in contact with countless people at the grassroots level over the years, and the advantages and disadvantages.
One of the very real problems is that the orders of the court, whether good or bad, most of the officials they handle are not about how to fulfill the orders of the court, but how to get the best interests for themselves.
The emperor pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: “In recent years, the list of officials involved in the investigation and handling of the three judicial divisions has been brought here.”
“The slave obeys.”
Erdezi took the lead, waved his hand, and several eunuchs followed him quickly.
The emperor sat alone, leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers tapped slowly on his thighs, and his thoughts also flew.
Policies have pros and cons.
The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, and the disadvantages can be outweighed by the disadvantages.
And Daheng’s big government system compared with the small government system, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The disadvantage of this is undoubtedly the officialdom since ancient times, or the inferiority of people, which is unavoidable at all.
But this drawback has to be solved, and even if it cannot be solved, it must be suppressed.
The Son of Heaven has also struggled at the bottom. It is very clear that the power of the bottom, no matter how inconspicuous, even if it is just a low-level official, is unattainable for the grass-headed people!
This point, in this official-based society, whether it is in the past, now, or in the future, it is difficult to reverse.
When the emperor’s thoughts flowed, soon, a large pile of rosters was placed on the emperor’s table.
Looking at the thick stack of rosters, the emperor could not help frowning, what he wanted was only the rosters, not the case files!
Just the roster, there is such a thick stack, one can imagine how many officials Daheng has investigated over the years!
“When did this start?”
The emperor frowned.
Erdezi quickly replied:
“Report to Your Majesty, since the first year of Zhaowu.”
Hearing this, the emperor’s frown slowly eased. He picked up a book and flipped through it. The official’s name, position, region, what he committed, and the year were all recorded clearly.
Time passed little by little, and the emperor also read page by page, knowing that the twilight was coming outside the hall, the emperor put down the last roster file.
Obviously, the fallen officials are inseparable from the word “profit”.
Officials and officials, officials and merchants, officials and farmers…
The whole world is covered by various interests.
It is also obvious that only a small number of people are investigated, and this small number of people are still insignificant people.
Without the major changes originating from the center of the imperial court, those with high positions of power in the context of interests would never be investigated.
Of course, when status rights reach a certain level, what you care about is not just “profit”, but fame and fortune!
Just like the Son of Heaven, would he care about pure profit?
Obviously not.
The same is true for the important officials of the imperial court. For them, pure profit has no meaning.
To be a top official, to dominate the government of the world, all you care about is to display your ambitions, govern the world, and be famous in history.
But to do this, it is naturally impossible to rely on one person alone, just like the emperor alone cannot establish Daheng. , and always open one eye and close the other.
It is naturally the same for the important officials of the imperial court. In order to gain a foothold in the imperial court and to display their ambitions, there must be a series of intricate factional interests behind them.
For the interests of their own faction, they will inevitably turn a blind eye, and they will inevitably cover up!
This is also an irreversible necessity.
“call…”
Closing the roster, the Emperor let out a long sigh of relief.
In this life, from the moment he stepped onto the position of the world’s supreme, the former Li Xiu has already died, and now he has only one identity, from the psychological to the physical, and that is the founding king of Daheng, Emperor Zhaowu!
At this point, his only thought is to let the people of this nation have a better life, let this nation avoid the misery of future generations, and let this nation stand proudly at the top of the world in the future, still a mother. Undoubtedly the kingdom of heaven.
Only in this way, the self-confidence of the nation will last forever, and it will never appear, which is even more impossible.
Under the only thought, blocking Yinxi’s play, can be regarded as poking into the depths of the emperor’s heart.
The affairs of the Six Dynasties are only for the private affairs of the portal.
All the people in the world move for profit~www.mtlnovel.com~ Too many are deeply ingrained, and many of the policies of the emperor are against the general trend of people’s hearts, and are at the expense of the interests of the few who hold most of the resources and rights, come Benefit the majority of people who do not have the right to resources.
Even if this person’s heart is disobedient, it is only against the hearts of a small number of people, and the hearts of the vast majority of the people in the world are obedient and agree with the Son of Heaven’s policy.
But… the so-called people who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world, and this people never refers to the people at the bottom.
Since ancient times, the dynasties have changed again and again, even if most of them are driven by the common people, but in the end, how many common people can win the world?
In that new world, how many are those who are the powers and blessings of the old world?
It is never the common people who lead the policy decisions, even if the common people are born, but the people’s thoughts will change with the position of the buttocks.
Betrayal often happens, but those who betray class are too few and too few.
If he is here, he can still barely support him. If one day he is gone, even if Daheng still follows the path he laid, his inner part will inevitably deteriorate…
