Li Hong led Li Lingyue, who had been talking all the way, did not go back to the East Palace directly, but came to Shangshu Province together. br>

The secretary of the criminal department is Cui Zhiwen, and the cooperation with Di Renjie in the past few years is also called a tacit understanding, so he has been staying in the position of the secretary of the criminal department and has not changed.

There are still many people in Datang who are still famous, and even Pei Xingjian is still the secretary of the Ministry of War, but he is just a nominal name, and he has not the job of handling the government affairs of the Ministry of War, and the real power is still in the hands of Shangshu Ren Yaxiang.

Li Lingyue took Li Hong's hand and followed him into Shang Shuling's office, and the large office made the little chatter begin to exclaim: "Wow, it's bigger than my father's study, brother Huang, be careful that my father is looking for trouble with you." ”

"You've been talking all the way, aren't you thirsty?" Li Honghua pulled Li Lingyue's head down and asked Yangwu to pour a glass of water for him.

The little guy sat on a wide chair with small arms and legs, and continued to look around leisurely, but Ren Yaxiang and Cui Zhiwen, who had just walked in, were startled, and when they saw the little thing standing up from the chair, they realized that there was still a person sitting on the chair opposite Shang Shuling's desk.

The two hurriedly saluted the little talker, Li Lingyue didn't care, and waved her little hand to say hello to the two.

"What do you two think of the bad people in the government?" Li Hong was straightforward, asked the two of them to sit down next to them, and then turned sideways and asked directly.

Li Lingyue occupied one of the two chairs opposite the desk, and refused to let go of it, so the two military department secretaries had to sit down on the two chairs far away from the desk.

"My lord, but the bad people are causing trouble again?" Cui Zhiwen frowned, the bad people created by the first emperor back then were originally served by people with evil deeds, and after decades of development, they have become a force to be reckoned with.

But it is precisely because of these decades that these bad people completely regard themselves as officials, because there are too few ordinary people, and they began to use their identities to start doing evil and fish in the township.

Li Hong smiled and said: "That's not true, if this kind of thing comes to me, I'm afraid you, the secretary of the criminal department, should resign, but bad people are an indispensable force in the official department, and our binding force on them is very weak." Even because their salaries were too low, they allowed them to expropriate and oppress the people among the people. ”

"But now it's even more inappropriate to ban it, right? After all, the government still has to rely on them to detect and arrest, without them, the official office will not have enough manpower, although these bad people are still in the township of fish and meat after being requisitioned by the government, oppressing the people, but after all, they are all a minority, and now they can only be restrained and controlled after committing crimes. Cui Zhiwen was still frowning, he didn't know the pros and cons of bad people, but he really couldn't come up with a specific way to effectively control them.

There were originally two kinds of fast catches, two kinds of catchers, catchers and fast hands. 'Arrest, the official service of catching bandits. Quick hand, the official service of the thief is also captured. With the evolution of history, it has slowly become the word "fast" in the mouths of the people.

Li Hong doesn't know if catching fast has evolved from bad people, but even after the Tang Dynasty, catching fast is the same as bad people, it is a cheap business.

Even in the Manchu Dynasty, the profession of catching fast was still considered a cheap industry, and its descendants could not participate in the imperial examination, even if you were talented and intelligent, and even if you left the industry of catching fast, your next three generations were still not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and only the fourth generation would be allowed.

And it is these professions that are not respected by the people, coupled with their own conduct and evil deeds, which will naturally cause them to break the jar and break the behavior, the government enslaves them, and the people despise them, so it also creates the idea that they dare not bully the officials, but dare to bully the people.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean......?" Cui Zhiwen didn't understand a little, since catching fast is the same as the function of bad people, why should he change it?

"Relying only on the bad people themselves, it is impossible to turn them into an effective team, the control of the government and their own restraint must exist at the same time, we can turn them into real catchers, not to mention, the bad people themselves are insulting to them, even if someone has the determination to reform themselves, because of the three words of bad people, I am afraid they will give up reform. Call it catching fast, I'm afraid it will be different. Li Hong snatched the inkstone in Li Lingyue's hand and put it on the table, and the little guy's hand quickly grabbed a pen and began to scribble.

"Your Excellency, do you want to reorganize them?" Ren Yaxiang listened quietly for a long time, and somewhat understood what Li Hong meant.

"Yes, the reform of the military department is imperative, and the reform of the criminal department is naturally and must be imperative...... Oh, the ranks of catching fast, in this way, can not only supply new soldiers to my Datang, but also use the old soldiers to drive the fast capture to improve their own quality, isn't it the best of both worlds? As for the Yulu, it can be equated with the soldier's Yulu formulated by the Ministry of War, and now Datang has money, it depends on whether you will spend it, whether you can spend it on the blade. Li Hong said in a good time.

But I didn't know that the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at each other, and at the same time slandered in their hearts: "Yes, Datang doesn't have money left now, even if you go to Qujiangchi to participate in the poetry meeting, you brought 1.8 million taels of pocket money, Datang is really rich." ’

As for how to organize the details between arresting and recruiting, it is naturally not Li Hong's job as a scholar, what he has to do is to point out the direction to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, and then it will depend on their work efficiency.

dragged Li Lingyue out of Shang Shuling's study, and the two of them slowly walked towards the East Palace, along the way Li Lingyue saw that everyone was fresh, especially when Bai Chun was mentioned, he began to shout in his small mouth: "When I grow up, I want to be as beautiful as Bai Chun." ”

Li Hong is too lazy to pay attention to her, as long as you don't bring disaster to the country and the people when you grow up, you are a first-class beauty in history, and that Shangguan Wan'er is just not a good thing.

"Your Highness, King Xu's secret letter." The stunned appeared in the East Palace, holding a secret letter from Li Sujie in his hand.

Li Hong took it and checked it casually, this is the second one this month, it seems that the situation is more serious than Li Hong thought.

"Tell him I know, let him be careful, don't be caught by others and then framed him." Li Hong glanced at the cut secret letter, and then closed the old high in his hand.

Li Lingyue in front of her had been trying to reach the letter, and she was very curious about what was written in it, which could make the imperial brother's face solemn.

Before going to Taiyi City, when Li Hong passed by Xu Jingzong's house, he asked Xu Yanbo to accompany him to visit Xu Jingzong.

Although the old guy was sitting on a recliner, he looked good, but he couldn't walk freely, so he was confined to the house.

"The old minister didn't expect it, I wanted Yanbo to be able to serve His Royal Highness like the old minister, but I didn't expect that after a few years in Anxi, he would become a veritable military general." Xu Jingzong's gray hair was a little messy, and he said with a hint of regret.

"What? Could it be that even you, Xu Jingzong, think that military generals are not as noble as civil officials? Is it possible to discredit the ancestral grave of your Xu family? Li Hong said unceremoniously: "Xu Jingzong, it's not me talking about you, in your life, you have been thinking about how to improve the false name of the surname Xu, even if your surname Xu can be compared with the five surnames and seven families, what can you do?" How about the Jinyang Wang family, now you can't raise your head among the people in the world, you have lived all your life, how can you still not understand when you are old, and the false name is a mirror in the end. ”

"But people have left their names and geese have left their voices, and the old minister has worked hard all his life, and has made so many efforts for my Datang and my surname Xu, I don't want to work hard for a lifetime, and the surname Xu is still a small surname. Your Royal Highness, the old minister knows that you have always been ashamed of such an act of respecting the sect, from the time you forcibly pulled the old minister from the queen's side to the East Palace, shackled the old minister's mind, the old minister knew that in this life, he could not see that the surname Xu could become a famous family, but the old minister did not give up, Xu Yanbo was also angry, and he was also a studious student in the Hongwen Pavilion, if he didn't go to Anxi with you, it was not impossible to come to the current ....... ”

"That's right, coupled with the secret help of you, a great yin man through the ages, Xu Yanbo's career can be said to be smooth sailing, but why do you recommend him to accompany me to Anxi? What are you trying to do? Am I being calculated by you again? Li Hong asked curiously.

Xu Jingzong smiled lonely, now he may not close his eyes one day and never open them again, so he is not so restrained when he talks angrily.

smiled weakly and said: "When you went to Qujiangchi, you met Wang Bo and Yang Jiong, including Luo Bin Wang and Lu Zhaolin, especially Wang Bo, which did not leave a good impression on you, and you always thought that this person was too utilitarian, so the old minister thought that it was possible to let Xu Yanbo appear in front of you to attract the attention of you to recruit talents, after all, Xu Yanbo and Wang Bo are not the same kind of people." ”

"You're really good at taking advantage of loopholes, so you recommend your grandson to my use, hoping to catch my attention with his talent? But then again, how did you know that I valued Wang Bo in the first place? Li Hong was very puzzled, he did have expectations for Wang Bo at the beginning, but when he gave up the Chongwen Pavilion for the sake of his career, he decided to go back to his hometown to participate in the imperial examination or was recommended by the family, so he gave up on him.

In this short period of time, it is said that no one should notice that he had the idea of beating Wang Bo. But this eternal Yin man can know his mind clearly like the roundworm in his stomach.
