However, Yu Xiaotian vigorously curbed corruption at the same time, but also fully considered the difficulties of the Ming officials, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the officials were given a lower salary, and a certain process also caused the officials to be greedy if they were not greedy, they would not be able to make ends meet, even if the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang took harsh measures, he could not stop the greed of officials.

Therefore, Deputy Yu Xiaotian increased the income of the officials, and included some of the people who were previously free from the fringes of the system to work for the government into the system, and at the same time that the state gave them money, he also issued a death order, and abolished all kinds of malpractices established or formed by the local government privately throughout the country, such as the means of making money such as pouring sharp kicks and burning silver, and at the same time raising wages, strictly ordered all localities to cancel it immediately.

In the future, if you find that someone is still using these methods to coerce the people, then I'm sorry, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Jinyi Guard will settle accounts with them.

Some corrupt officials thought that this was ostensibly to increase their income, but in fact it cut off their secret money, and also caused them to lose control over some of the people under them.

But now these personnel have been included in the system, and they are uniformly paid by the imperial court, and their identities and powers and responsibilities are clarified, these people only need to do things according to the rules in the future, and as for their former masters, their control over them has weakened a lot.

The most important thing is that although the imperial court issued a decree saying that they had increased their salaries, this part of the salaries raised was still much less than the money they secretly held, which undoubtedly cut off their financial routes, and the real corrupt officials did not live on their salaries at all, so such a new policy undoubtedly touched the vested interests of these corrupt officials again.

But where is Yu Xiaotian's tough methods, most of them have now been taught, and they are fighting against it head-on, which is to make it clear that they are paying New Year's greetings to Lord Yama and have a long life.

But if they want to comply, these corrupt officials will definitely not do it, and they will have more means to deceive the upper and lower levels, although there are orders from above, but they have their own methods below, which is called having policies and countermeasures, as long as they are still officials, then they can continue to cover the sky with one hand.

Of course, when Yu Xiaotian decided to promulgate the new policy, he also knew very well that there would be a considerable number of officials who would think so, but he didn't care about these things for the time being, just promulgate the policy first, and then it was a matter of strict investigation and strict handling.

You used to be greedy, it can be said that the Ming Emperor was too picky, you can't support your family, you have to be greedy, and now Lao Tzu has raised your salary, if you are still greedy, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian greeted the Metropolitan Procuratorate early, selected people from all over the country, and selected those who had been harmed by corrupt officials and had meritorious names or some young people who were literate and hyphenated but had no meritorious reputation, but were shrewd and capable, and those with meritorious fame were temporarily arranged to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the imperial history, and those who had no meritorious reputation but were shrewd and usable were arranged to enter the Jinyi Guard.

The original number of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was expanded from the previous 110 to more than 500, almost ensuring that each prefecture and county could be assigned a supervising imperial historian, and each supervising imperial historian was assigned another five to ten new Jinyi guards as their auxiliary force to help them investigate cases or arrest corrupt officials who committed crimes.

In fact, after the transformation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Jinyi Guard, their functions are closer to those of the discipline inspection departments of later generations, although they are not of high rank, but they have great power, and they are directly responsible to the imperial court, not subject to the jurisdiction of local officials, and the handling of cases is completely independent.

In addition, these inspectors did not serve in the local area, but all hired people from different places, and the areas under their supervision were determined by lot, and the areas of office were changed every two years, and they colluded with the local officials in the province to form a party and collude with each other.

In addition, when these inspectors and imperial historians went to the areas where they were in charge to exercise their supervisory powers, they all went in plainclothes and in light vehicles, and they were not allowed to meet with local officials when they had nothing to do, so that the local officials could not know when the supervising imperial historians and brocade guards arrived in their land, so that they could secretly supervise the local officials.

In addition, for the supervision of the imperial history has also set up a supervision, on the supervision of the imperial history, set up more than 30 carefully selected by Yu Xiaotian personally selected sub-patrol envoys, these more than 30 sub-inspectors secretly to various places to supervise, the same they do not know the following supervision of the imperial history, just do their own things, once the sub-patrol envoy and the local supervision of the imperial history of the investigation of the matter have strict zhòng differences, the sub-patrol envoy found that the local officials are greedy, but the responsible for the local supervision of the imperial history did not know, Then the local superintendent will be arrested and punished for serious crimes of negligence.

Under such layers of supervision, Yu Xiaotian believes that even if someone wants to fish in troubled waters, I am afraid it will not be too easy, his idea is that one corrupt official is caught and one is killed, and he is not afraid of killing many, and he is not afraid that because there are too many corrupt officials arrested, there will be a shortage of officials in various places.

The most important thing in this world in China is people who want to be officials, as long as there is a vacancy, then there will definitely be more people competing for this vacant position.

In fact, in the matter of controlling corruption, it is easy to govern officials and difficult to govern, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty have always basically been in different places, which can be regarded as iron-clad battalions and flowing soldiers, but those officials are basically local officials, and some local officials can even be said to have been hereditary for more than a hundred years, and have been serving in the local area for generations, and have already formed an intertwined local relationship network, and sometimes even can put officials in the air and do their own thing.

Therefore, some officials angrily reprimanded and said: All officials in the world can be killed, this sentence contains the blood, tears and helplessness of many officials, so it is not easy to control the officials, but it is difficult to control the officials in those places from being bad.

Now the reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Jinyiwei that he has launched is to control corruption, not only to deal with corrupt officials, but also to focus on governing local officials, killing a large number of officials who are a disaster party, and replacing them with fresh blood, in order to truly govern good places.

The way of adding brocade clothes and guards is undoubtedly the best way he can think of at the moment Yu Xiaotian, as for the civil supervision mechanism, it is all false, now even if it is to give ordinary people the power to supervise officials and give them democratic power, they don't know how to use it, China's thousands of years of feudal rule has long been ingrained in the people to form a fear of officials, if you talk about democracy to them now, it can be said that it is like playing the piano to a cow, and it will be treated as a madman.

After months of intense preparations, hundreds of newly released Overseers of the Imperial History, plus thousands of freshly baked brocade guards, all of them flocked out of the Jingshi in high spirits, like a group of vicious dogs with teeth and claws, rushing to various places according to the results of their lottery and began to exercise their powers.

Although Yu Xiaotian knew that these people might not be able to achieve what he wanted to achieve, he could expect that these people would definitely be able to set off a huge bloody storm in the land of Daming.

However, such a result can be expected that in the near future, it will greatly curb the corruption of local officials, of course, if you want to really achieve such a goal, you must have enough force to support these inspectors and the new brocade guards.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian spared no effort to continue to expand the number of soldiers and horses of the Yu family army in this year, and gradually began to secretly start to move against the Ming military.

A group of hereditary generals, who were sent by him to some places to lead their troops to suppress rebellious soldiers or thieves, like these Qiu Ba who relied on the hereditary shadow of their ancestors to obtain military power, there are very few people who really have the ability, they are more like some landlords with military positions, and when they really want to use soldiers to fight, they all immediately show their original form.

Even if they are asked to go to fight some small groups of bandits, these guys are often more than successful and more than defeated, and if they can't complete the task, many of them will be directly killed by their enemies or beaten and lost, and flee home.

And through this method, Yu Xiaotian also caught the sore feet of these guys, dismissed them on charges of incompetence, and went back to be their rich man, handed over the military power and pulled them down, if they refused to comply, then they would be beheaded all over the house on the charge of rebellion, and they would be uprooted without leaving any trouble.

After pulling out these guys who stood in the pit and didn't, Yu Xiaotian used the generals of the family army to fill their vacancies, and gradually infiltrated his Yu Xiaotian's force throughout the country.

In less than a year, Yu Xiaotian pulled out more than ten general officers, more than 30 deputy generals, and a large group of guerrilla generals in various provinces.

And through such means, he promoted a large number of officers from the Yujia army under his command, replaced these pulled radishes, or a radish and a pit, and also filled tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yujia army in various places.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian re-used the conscription system to completely replace the original Ming Dynasty's military household system, and the military household system was no longer a hereditary occupation in the future, and the military household system and the hereditary replacement system were abolished, and the officers no longer relied on the hereditary inheritance of Yin Meng, but were selected and stationed by the military, and the province formed a local warlord group.

Of course, these actions have not touched the warlord family groups that have more troops and military power in various parts of the Ming Dynasty for the time being, such as the Guanning army outside the Guan, he did not move for the time being, because he still needs Zu Dashou's group of Guanning soldiers and generals to temporarily keep an eye on Jiannu for him outside the Guan, and now for the time being, he can't spare his hands to exterminate Jiannu and restore Liaodong.
