On the large flat in front of the academy lane, on a flagpole with a bucket more than four feet high, a flag with red characters on a blue background is hunting and fluttering in the north wind.

On the flag, there is a long list of titles of "the right of the Imperial Palace, the prime minister's grain reserve, the admiral's military affairs, and the governor Yingtian", which makes people awe-inspired.

The flagpole is facing the figure-eight wall of the yamen. In front of the eight-character wall, a pair of stone lions show off their might, highlighting the official authority of the feudal officials.

The soldiers with swords and guns stood solemnly inside the gate, and no idlers were allowed to approach.

Outside the gate, a full fifteen blue tweed sedan chairs were parked.

The sedan chair driver wearing the red robe, and the officials and officials who accompanied the sedan chair, did not dare to breathe, as if they would disturb the adults in the yamen.

Today is the day when Hai Rui, the new governor of Yingtian, officially takes office. The eleven local governors of the ten prefectures and one prefecture under his jurisdiction, as well as the local supervisors such as Su Songchang Town's Bingbei Road, Huining Chi Taibing Beidao, and Supervising Grain Road, naturally all came to stand up for the rules.

At this time, Hai Rui was dressed in a crimson official robe, sitting on the top of the lobby, and the fifteen local high-ranking officials were all silent, not daring to look at him.

The huge governor's hall was full of red robes, and pins could be heard.

It wasn't until Hai Jui opened his mouth that the dead silence was broken.

"You are all order-abiding and first-level seal officials, and the shortest ones have been out for more than ten years, and the scene is definitely better than what this court can say." I heard Hai Rui say in a deep voice: "Let's get straight to the point." ”

"Please advise Zhongcheng." Cai Guoxi and others were panicked, like mice seeing cats.

"Wuzhong is the richest place in the world, but now it is full of habits and cheats, and there are signs of depression. This hospital is graced, the governor of Jiangnan, when the clean-up of the accumulated malpractice, the wind and discipline, so as to live up to the emperor's grace. ”

Hai Rui arched his hand towards the north, and then cut the railroad categorically: "This court thinks that the key to cleaning up the accumulated malpractices and improving discipline is to restrain officials at all levels. Turning the people into customs, the prefect is doing it, and the merit is in a house; Knowing the county for it, the credit is in a county. If the local government is competent, the people of Yiyi will live and work in peace and contentment; If you are incompetent, the people will be in dire straits. ”

"The so-called 'if you want to reassure the people, you must first obey the order', and if you want to obey the order, you must first legislate." As soon as Hai Rui waved his hand, Tian Baiguang came out with a thick stack of pages and distributed them to all the adults.

This is the 35 articles of the "Treaty of Supervision and Pacification" formulated by this court based on the treaties formulated during the time of knowing Chun'an and rejuvenating the country, combined with the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, and slightly polished and processed. Now it will be promulgated to all of you, and when you go back, it will also be issued to all the prefectures and counties, and all officials in the prefectures and counties must be ordered to follow this and not violate it, otherwise this court will not be blamed for severe punishment! ”

After speaking, he snapped and slapped the shocked wood hard.

Frightened, all the high-ranking officials of the four grades trembled together, and hurriedly opened the "Supervision Treaty" in their hands to read.

To put it simply, this "Governor's Treaty" is a system of laws and regulations formulated by Hai Jui for himself and his subordinate officials.

To sum up, there are about five aspects.

First, it is forbidden for subordinates to talk about pomp and arrogance when receiving themselves. For example, when it is stipulated that when he goes to the locality, the officials are not allowed to go out to greet and send him off; There is no drum music everywhere in this hospital, and it is not allowed to spread felt and tie colors, etc.

The second is to oppose extravagance. If it is stipulated that when you go to the state or county, you will only live in the original public office, and you are not allowed to rebuild it; If all the furnishings in the public office are only used in the original, they shall not be new; When you go to the place to eat, where the price is high, each meal shall not exceed three silver coins; Where prices are low, no more than two dollars per meal.

The third is to prohibit corruption and turning public affairs into private interests. It is stipulated that 'not for the public and the people, and will never use public property', and public property shall not be used to entertain guests and give gifts. If there is no distinction between public and private, and if there is no distinction between public and private, and the use of mixed expenses is regarded as embezzlement.

Fourth, it is forbidden to give or accept bribes, stipulating that it is forbidden to give gifts to officials, and at the same time, it is also necessary to strictly prevent officials from accepting bribes. If an official gives a bribe, the punishment is increased.

Fifth, severe punishment for dereliction of duty. All routine and assigned errands must be completed on time, otherwise they will be punished. For example, if the officials and soldiers in charge of paying salaries in each prefecture and county cannot receive two items, the prefecture and county officials cannot withdraw them, or they can withhold and issue the salaries of the prefectures and counties to the officials and soldiers.

~~

After reading this "Governor's Treaty", Cai Guoxi and his friends were all stunned.

This, this, does this still make people live?

You can't take bribes, you can't embezzle, you can't eat and drink, you can't talk about pomp, and you can't grind foreign workers...... What else does this official mean in front of you?

But what Hai Rui asks them to do, he also asks himself to do it, and he is even more ruthless and has no room for his own requirements.

This made the prefects and priests not dare to bother, and only looked at Haizhongcheng with bitter gourd faces, looking at him pitifully.

"You don't have to be like this, these thirty-five articles of the Governor's Treaty are already much more lenient than the regulations I made in Chun'an Xingguo before." Hai Rui turned a blind eye and said: "And every article can be found in the original text from the "Daming Huidian", and there is absolutely no article made up by this court out of thin air, which is difficult for you." ”

"This ......" Zhenjiang's Qian Governor couldn't help but whisper: "Zhongcheng Rongyu, there are many unkind things about Huidian......"

"Therefore, this court has only promulgated thirty-five articles." Hai Rui glanced at him and said lightly: "The Qian Governor's Mansion is not enough, this court can add a few more for Zhenjiang Mansion now!" ”

"No, no, no......" Qian Zhifu was so frightened that his hair exploded, and he waved his hand again and again: "Enough, enough, enough......"

It's okay if it's not accommodating, but if you are accommodating, you have to add a few more, who the can stand it?

The officials immediately shut up. No one dared to bargain with the King of Hades anymore.

Hengzhu Hai Rui will be in trouble for three years, and he should be in prison for three years......

~~

The Governor's Ordinance will come into effect immediately upon its promulgation.

Hai Rui began to hold accountable on the spot, and he looked at the heartfelt Zhenji who was standing at the end of the class and said:

"Sincere prefect, this official flipped through Lin Zhongcheng's unfinished official business, and found that Yingtian's ten mansions and nine mansions have been cleared, only Songjiang has not been cleared for a long time, I don't know what the reason is?"

"Hui Zhongcheng." Zhen Zhenji sweated coldly, bowed to the end when he came out of class, and said in a trembling voice: "The strength of the Songjiang squire is too great, and the government can't control it. For this reason, Lin Zhongcheng personally sat in the town to supervise the supervision, and was besieged by the villagers......"

The Xu family's ship is full of holes and crumbling, of course he has to draw a clear line and take a stand.

"But don't worry, Zhongcheng, I'll start doing it again when I go back!"

"At the end of the year." Hai Rui said coldly: "The clearance must be completed before the end of the year, otherwise the prefect will impeach himself." ”

"The subordinate obeys." Zhen Zhenji obediently retreated.

Hai Rui looked at Cai Guoxi again and said, "Cai Zhifu." ”

Governor Cai was so frightened that he shuddered, and hurriedly went out of class and said, "The lower official is here." ”

"This hospital will inspect the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, and the first stop will be in Suzhou." I only listened to Hai Rui's deep voice.

"Yes, yes." Cai Guoxi squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying and said, "It's an honor." ”
