Sending Gao Qiqian to the place where Lu Xiangsheng died in his previous life was like hanging Li Zicheng on a crooked tree. It is a truth: to use his own way to do what he is.

For those with serious sins, they should get an ending that they have never seen in their previous lives, and late justice is better than none.

Zhu Youjian was very happy with his creativity. As for how the Jinyiwei who was ordered to execute it, he no longer asked. Not to mention that Gao Qiqian has lost power for many years, even if he still holds great power now, as long as he gives his order, the Jinyiwei will still implement it completely without hesitation.

A few days later, the Jinyiwei team responsible for executing Gao Qiqian and burying him returned to the capital and entered the palace to report: Gao Qiqian, the eunuch in charge of the Shangyi, was ordered to inspect the place, and died in the well at night due to excessive drinking. Due to the hot weather, the body could only be buried on the spot. His heritage in Beijing was "assisted" by the Jinyiwei.

Within two days, a list of searches and 250,000 taels of silver was ordered by the Jinyiwei to send Li Ruolian to the palace himself.

Li Ruolian used this move to show Zhu Youjian that the Jinyiwei did not make any moves when dealing with Gao Qiqian's remaining property. Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with Li Ruolian's knowledge and praised him a few words.

This action was deliberately done by Zhu Youjian to test whether the atmosphere within the personal army was corrupt and degenerate. If someone in the Jinyiwei dared to take the opportunity to attack when he was raiding his house, then wait for the iron fist of the dictatorship.

The nails buried in the Jinyiwei in the East Factory have been waiting for the opportunity to make contributions.

Similarly, there are many personal military secrets in the Dongchang Mansion. Even the senior officials of the factory guards do not know who is who. These two-faced people have the right to report secretly. Whenever illegal acts are found in the factory guards, they will report them immediately.

This simple but effective measure began to be implemented three years ago, and the open supervision of the Nanzhen Fu Office has made tens of thousands of factory guards extremely cautious when handling the work, effectively preventing the huge threat that the rights of key departments are not controlled.

Only by effective supervision can we prevent the spread of corruption and large-scale outbreaks to the greatest extent, and the targets of supervision are not only factory guards, but also all officials who eat imperial grain.

The cross-supervision between factories and guards has achieved great results, and supervising all officials of all sizes is their most important responsibility. When they are uncomfortable, the factory guards have also made great efforts to monitor government officials at all levels, especially in the various temples in the capital. Originally, there were only personal troops stationed in the offices. Now even the East Factory has arranged personnel to the various officials under the order to remind officials of all sizes not to make mistakes.

The supervisory role of the inspector is relatively smaller than that of factory guards with a sensitive sense of smell and different system.

After all, everyone belongs to the civil service system, and they all came from thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. They have a natural psychological identity. When encountering certain things, there are some unexplained factors such as human relationships and interests. Even with the strict requirements of Shangguan, it is difficult to be in vain or indulge. This is also an important reason why Zhu Youjian strengthened the rights of the factory and guards. Practice has proved that the effect of this method is quite good.

Nowadays, when various economic activities are not frequent compared with later generations, officials basically make money through greed and bribery. It is very rare to ask for bribes and accept bribes because there are not many channels to monetize the rights in their hands.

Now the main body of the Ming Dynasty engaged in industry and commerce, or big-name households, either have deep backgrounds or connections, or their own family members like Sihai Commercial Bank, as long as the industrial and commercial households have tax certificates, the government has no right at all, and there is no need to restrict their legitimate business behavior.

As for small merchants and small business owners, they have meager profits, and the court also adopted special preferential policies of 50 taxes for these small businesses so that they can survive. After all, behind each vendor owner, there is a family of several people to support, and life is not easy.

Zhu Youjian's policy of maintaining integrity through high salaries allowed most officials to live a good life without using other means. In the absence of breeding grounds for corruption, the administration of the Ming Dynasty was still quite clear.

In addition to the various yamen in the capital, supervision of local governments is still an important responsibility of the Jinyiwei, especially for criminal and civil cases involving litigation laws and other criminal and civil cases, the Jinyiwei and the Censor will pay special attention to it.

Whenever a case is heard in the local criminal prosecution department, the local Jinyiwei and the chief censor must attend the trial in person. The Jinyiwei will also conduct a detailed investigation of the ins and outs of the case, and finally collect it as archives together with the final judgment of the case, so as to be used for review by the previous level of the criminal prosecution department.

Zhu Youjian believed that justice and fairness are the most concrete manifestation that can prevent the people of the world from being harmed by abuse of power. Therefore, he repeatedly mentioned this matter to the officials of the Jinyiwei Hall, requiring local Jinyiwei stations to take supervision of judicial power as the top priority and not to slacken at any time. The Jinyiwei South Town Fu Office must send personnel to regularly conduct secret investigations. Once they find that there are dereliction of duty within the personal army, they will be dismissed immediately and investigated, and they will be subject to joint seizures, and those who promote those who commit crimes must also be held accountable.

Zhu Youjian also issued a special order to cancel the evil policy that the people, whether they are defendants or plaintiffs, once they enter the yamen, will be beaten first, and thus establish the most basic fairness of the people, so that ordinary people in the world can slowly establish the concept of bold complaints if they have any grievances, and no longer regard evil policies as if they are angry but dare not speak out.

In fact, since ancient times, whether it is the court or the government offices at all levels, the most harmful to the people is not officials, but officials at all levels, especially officials in grassroots county offices. These officials hold real power, and they are the people who truly represent the government and deal with the people directly.

The King of Hell is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult to deal with. The ancient proverb has always been the most incisive summary.

Most of the original intentions of the policies formulated by the imperial master were good, but during the implementation process, these officials would use the loopholes to attack the people, exploit the people under the banner of the court, and finally make a fortune, but the court's strategy ultimately failed. However, the people were damaged by their own interests, thus attributeing their hatred to the court. In the end, after these hatreds and anger accumulate to a certain level, they will explode in an all-out due to an opportunity, which will cause huge turmoil in the entire society.

After abolishing various discrimination and restrictions on the promotion of officials, including them as part of the imperial grain, and disbanding their white servants (temporary workers) affiliated with them, the appearance of the official group suddenly changed greatly. Many officials with outstanding abilities have focused their energy on how to achieve something, so as to obtain an official position and continue to be promoted. When dealing with the people in daily life, they have also learned the kindness of the masters. When dealing with related matters, they also follow the law and no longer seek to exploit and abuse the situation.

Compared with the future and the greater benefits it brings, the benefits obtained by exploiting a hundred households are not as good as the salary income for one year after promotion. Besides, now, unlike the past, the Jinyiwei people are extremely cruel to the officials, and once they are targeted, they will never run away.
