After Sima An left, Qin Mu paced in the imperial study alone, and after all, it was still the same sentence: the deterrent power of punishment lies not in its harshness, but in its inevitability.

It is definitely not okay to peel the skin and fill the grass like Zhu Yuanzhang. The key to keeping local officials from being corrupt is to rely on an effective oversight mechanism. In order to exercise effective supervision, we must first make the judicial supervision power independent, otherwise what kind of supervision can we talk about?

Qin Mu regarded this matter as the top priority, and the method proposed by Sima An was a feasible strategy, and if he really did what he said, he could effectively divide the opposition of local officials.

In the current local administrative structure of Daqin, the judicial adjudication power of the provincial-level organs is in the hands of the inspectors, the political envoys are only in charge of administration, and the supervision power is in the hands of the inspectors.

In other words, the judicial, administrative, and supervisory powers are separated, and only one law enforcement power has not been separated. However, provincial-level agencies usually take on cases submitted by lower-level agencies, and there are not many times when they directly enforce the law themselves.

In the structure of the prefectural, prefecture, and county governments, the prefects, prefectures, and county orders not only have administrative power, but also judicial power, and even the supervision and evaluation of subordinate officials are also controlled by them, and it is very easy for them to be corrupt.

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. It is they who scrape the ground directly from the people, and the impact is naturally the worst.

Provincial officials are greedy and often have to rely on lower-level officials to provide confessions. After clearing the soil for corruption among lower-level officials at the prefecture, prefecture, and county levels, it will not be so easy for provincial-level officials to be corrupt.

Not counting the newly established Liaoning Province and Ningxia Province and the two provinces of Luzon and Jinghai in Nanyang, there are a total of 1,562 prefects in Daqin, and if you count the prefects and prefectures, there are nearly 2,000.

The regime of Great Qin was built on the basis of these prefectures and counties, and this policy should be fully implemented, and the matter was too big for Qin Mu to consider and weigh it repeatedly.

At last. Qin Mu decided to wait a little longer, and after solving the Qitate of the Hetao, he had to adjust the army, implement the change of military methods, and regularly rotate the generals;

At the same time, it is safer to transfer Meng Ke, Ma Yongzhen, Li Dingguo, and other senior generals in the army back to Nanjing, and after further controlling the army, they will reform the administration. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens!

When Qin Mu came out of the imperial study. At the beginning of the snowstorm, a ray of sunlight shines on the temple, and the snow on the glazed tile surface reflects the light, which is very magnificent.

Hong Bao, who was following behind, saw the emperor walking towards Jingyang Gate, and he was secretly anxious, he had been trying to talk to the emperor about something in the past few days, but the emperor was too busy and never found a suitable opportunity;

Today, when the emperor left the imperial study, it was still early. Once the emperor entered Jingyangmen, he had no chance to say it.

In the harem, Qin Mu doesn't like to use eunuchs, basically uses palace maids. Most of the palaces are also taken care of by female officials, such as the Jingyang Gate of the Xijing Imperial Palace, where he and his concubines live, and the eunuchs are not summoned. Not admitted.

However, because the imperial study often had to communicate with the ministers, it had to arrange a few small yellow doors, and the little eunuch Hong Bao was only fourteen years old. Because people are clever. Since Qin Mu came to Xijing, he has always asked him to go to the imperial study to listen to the dispatch;

For the eunuch who was already unwelcome, this was a terrible thing, and it was not too much to say that he had ascended to the sky in one step, which eunuch was not very envious of him.

Hong Bao himself can't help but be a little fluttering, but he is still too young to understand the truth of contentment.

"陛xià......"

"Huh? Is there something wrong with you? Qin Mu turned around and asked casually.

"It's fine.....it's fine." As soon as he met Qin Mu's gaze, Hong Bao was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and he unconsciously bowed his body too low, "Your Majesty, the slave maid just sees that His Majesty is busy until night every day, and it is rare to be more idle today, and the slave and maid are happy for His Majesty in this heart." ”

"Haha, what's so happy about this?"

"The slave maid is blessed with His Majesty's grace, always grateful, and sees His Majesty every day to work state affairs, and the imperial food in the palace is so frugal, and the slave and maid are worried about His Majesty's dragon body."

Hong Bao was a clever person, and seeing Qin Mu's smile on his face, the more he spoke, the smoother he became: "According to what the slave said, Your Majesty shouldn't treat yourself like this, the slave heard that there are hundreds of millions of dragon coins in the treasury this year, which has to be piled up into a mountain of silver."

There are also miles, and the inner treasury has a lot of income, and His Majesty tightens his belt to save money, but the Internal Supervision R&D Department does not know how to save some for His Majesty;

The slave maid heard that the Internal Supervision R&D Department spent more than 700,000 dragon coins last year, but they didn't even develop a decent thing, I really don't know what they are doing with so much money, if they save this money, why would Your Majesty have such a hard time..."

Hong Bao was like a child, complaining angrily, looking like he was upset for Qin Mu.

Qin Mu glanced at him lightly, and Hong Bao hurriedly stopped.

The Inner Palace has many sources of income, such as the soap factory, the painting and embroidery workshop run by the Internal Supervision Department, and the trading company with Xu Yongshun and others, all of which are rich in money.

But the expenses are also very large, hundreds of royal Mongolian schools, three polytechnics, is the largest burden of expenses in the inner treasury. In addition, it is the Internal Supervision R&D Division.

There are many first-class craftsmen in the internal supervision department of the previous dynasties, specially designed for the royal family to create a variety of exquisite supplies, Qin Mu two years ago the internal supervision of the skilled craftsmen of the integration of the department, the establishment of a research and development department.

If he thinks of something, he will ask the R&D Department to study it, such as cement, soap, flush toilets, etc., which are researched by the R&D Department of Internal Supervision.

Hong Bao suddenly complained about the Internal Supervision R&D Department, but he was afraid that things were not so simple, and the Development Department of the Internal Supervision Department had always been managed by Han Zanzhou, the general manager.

Because of the military and political affairs, whether the Internal Supervision R&D Department really spent 700,000 dragon coins last year, Qin Mu really didn't know, but there were no research results last year, which is true.

700,000 dragon coins is not a small amount, and the funds allocated to the Ordnance Supervisor last time for the manufacture of Type 69 flintlock rifles were only 700,000 dragon coins, which was enough to make 20,000 rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition.

It seems that not only the outer court, but also the inner court must set up some supervision mechanisms.

Of course, Hong Bao took this to talk about things, and I'm afraid the motive is not so simple.

Qin Mu didn't say anything in the end, waved his hand and walked towards Jingyang Gate, Hong Bao was uneasy in his heart, stopped outside Jingyang Gate, and saw Qin Mu walking away, he quietly wiped his sweat.

There are only concubines and palace maids in Jingyang Gate, this is a deep palace court where all the fragrances compete for beauty, even the lowest palace maids have a chance to enter the palace after layers of selection.

Here, any one you meet is beautiful and graceful, and Chu Chu is moving. These hundreds of beauties, as long as you want, can overthrow any one anytime, anywhere......

Qin Mu walked on the gallery by the Taiye Pool, and inexplicably remembered some people, Empress Changsun, Wu Meiniang, Yang Yuhuan, these beauties who have been famous through the ages, have also walked by this Taiye Pool.

In a trance, it seems that you can still hear the gentle laughter of the beauty echoing on the pool.

Qin Mu didn't hear it wrong, there was indeed a beautiful woman's smile on the pond coming with the wind, looking across the water, but seeing Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan, Xu Ruoshi, and Li Zhiyin, the four beauties gathered in the warm hall, cooking tea, watching the snow, and chanting poems and music.

The breeze was light, and Li Xiangjun was faintly heard: "The warbler outside the courtyard is crying in mid-February, and the sun shadow on the dressing table is ...... At first glance, I tried to light Luo in the social rain, and occasionally tasted the new brew drunk east wind......"

This should be a seven-character poem, but Qin Mu only vaguely heard these four sentences, although it is not complete, but it is quite intriguing, presumably the whole poem is a masterpiece in the boudoir.

When Li Xiangjun finished chanting, Dong Xiaowan's three daughters praised her repeatedly, and then she didn't know what Li Xiangjun said, Li Zhiyin was so ashamed that she got up and played with her, and her delicate laughter spread frequently with the wind.

Looking at the shadows of a few beauties, Qin Muyou remembered a poem: You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs, the bright moon decorates your window, and you decorate other people's dreams.

Indeed, everyone is a landscape. I longed for Wu Meiniang and Yang Yuhuan by the Taiye Pool, and Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan were peerless beauties who were not the objects of future generations.

Qin Mu, who suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction, showed a heartfelt smile, he didn't bother Li Xiangjun and the others, turned around and walked towards the Zhaoyang Palace of the Red Lady.

As soon as he walked outside the Zhaoyang Palace, he heard a burst of delicate voices and the sound of swords colliding inside.........
