Let you be a faint king, and you have unified the six kingdoms?

"Be careful, this is the law set by the Taizu." Ke Wu said dissatisfiedly, but he felt that there was nothing to modify.

Yang Hong said: "If you embezzle 100 taels, you will die. If you embezzle 1000 taels, you will also die. Instead, corrupt officials will break the pot."

Hearing this sentence, Ke Wu was quite angry: "Then kill! Kill until they dare not be greedy!"

"You don't understand what I mean." Yang Hong shook his head, "There is also a problem involved here, let me give you an example. Suppose an official embezzles 100 taels, then he has to escape knowing that he will die. No one I want to die. And after successfully escaping, I will go all the way to the dark."

"However, if the punishment of 100 taels is changed to prison, which gives flexibility to the law, will this give corrupt officials another choice?"

"Nonsense!" Ke Wu said with a firm attitude, "Corrupt officials have no choice! I didn't expect that I would emphasize this kind of thing to you, Mr. Yang, corruption is sucking the blood of the entire Daqian!"

The prime ministers around were listening quietly.

The two have always had a good relationship, but they didn't expect to quarrel now.

They are more or less aware of the punishment mechanism mentioned by Yang Hong.

Speaking of which, many of the prime ministers here are also unclean, but because His Majesty did not investigate the corruption before enthroning, they escaped unharmed.

The salaries of officials before His Majesty ascended the throne were too low. If you find ten officials, six of them may have been corrupt.

"Actually." Yang Hong's tone was calm, and he handed a document to Ke Wu, "Zuo Qun still has a lot of political achievements, look."

Ke Wu picked up the document and looked at it, frowning.

"I was ranked second in the imperial examination 20 years ago, and I took office in Yundai City seven years ago. I almost developed this place by myself, built rivers and bridges, and even rectified law and order." Yang Hong said.

Ke Wu snorted coldly: "Then if he is not greedy, he can do better."

"Maybe so." Yang Hong did not refute, but continued, "Even if Master Ke does not recognize his political achievements, at least he admits that Zuo Qun has been an official for many years. He is not stupid."

"...So what if you're not stupid?" Ke Wu asked.

"Not being stupid means that if His Majesty's Jinyiwei is not that strong, and if His Majesty's East Factory has not developed, then even if His Majesty wants to investigate, such a smart official will have a way to get in." Zhang Qian said.

This statement came out.

Everyone was silent.

Many people recalled the previous period.

It is not that corrupt officials were not investigated during the first emperor's period, but what is the effect?

not good.

Because there are also corrupt officials in the team of investigating corrupt officials.

Court officials are the smartest group in this society.

The emperor has the highest social status, but it depends on the bloodline.

As for a person, he has the highest intelligence and intelligence, so far as he can go, that is to enter the imperial court and become an official in the imperial court.

In the face of death, wise people try their best to survive, and the explosive power of action is unimaginable.

"Actually, once Zuo Qun fled to Wu, according to the situation there, he will be a civilian in the future, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be brought to justice." Yang Hong said.

Everyone was silent again.

In the end, Yang Hong gave his core point of view.

"Focus on deterrence, not severe punishment. Formulate punishments corresponding to various degrees of corruption, and give these corrupt officials a chance to make choices."

"the most important is……"

"Once the classification is refined, [reduction of sentence] can be used as a reward for officials to report."

Chapter 346 Why is Chen Jun so powerful?Does the emperor matter?Does imperial power matter?

"Are you finished?"

Ke Wu's voice sounded.

And then, Yang Hong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Well, it's over."

Ke Wu nodded, and said: "Your words are not unreasonable, but in troubled times, heavy codes should be used. These few years are the time of all-out war, and this law is not easy to change. Not only is the effect not good, but it is easy to make Your Majesty fall into trouble. in righteousness."

"...Well, this statement makes sense." Yang Hong thought for a while and then said.

The surrounding prime ministers were all stunned.

This reversal is really fast.

Just now I felt that Yang Hong had the upper hand, but I didn't expect the discussion to end immediately.

"Next topic." Ke Wu said.

…………

Shu Kingdom.

The imperial court has received the latest news from the front line, and all of them are stunned.

broken!

A layman guides an expert!

Now stealing the chicken will cost you nothing!

"Now the dry army is invading in an all-round way! What should we do!"

"Ask me? Whom should I ask?"

"In short, withdraw the original war supervisor."

The court was in a hurry.

Hastily issued a decree to cancel the previous decision.

Then they grimaced again.

How to do?

Now the situation is even worse.

At this moment, they hated so much why there are so many mountains in Sichuan and so many places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although this is a double standard.

But now they too hope that there will be fewer such places, so that the army cannot establish temporary strongholds.

…………

And in the dry army barracks of the Second Army.

Ke Huaan is writing a book.

This military book is specifically about how to take advantage of geographical advantages.

"To be honest, if there are enough Shu troops in Sichuan, then they are the ones who will take advantage of those geographical advantages at this time... The entire Sichuan will be impenetrable, and even a million troops may not be able to defeat it."

Ke Huaan sighed with emotion.

Being condescending is so important.

It belongs to the fact that shooting arrows casually can kill the enemy, but it is difficult for the enemy to shoot over. This also involves the problem of angle.

At the same time, enemies climbing hills will consume more stamina.

The defenders who sprint down will also gain an advantage in melee combat.

"Looking at it now, it was a very wise decision for Your Majesty to attack Wu, indulge the alliance between Wu and Shu, and consume most of the Shu army in Wu."

Ke Huaan sighed again and again.

As long as there are more Shu troops, it will not be as easy to fight as it is now.

So far, the entire Second Army, as a new recruit army, has only suffered 8000 casualties so far, and most of them were wounded rather than dead.

And the Shu army conservatively estimated... 5 people were killed or injured.

It was not the First Army, but the Second Army that beat the Shu Army like this on the territory of the Kingdom of Shu. Ke Huaan was really satisfied.

In addition, this battle is different from the previous city defense battle that the Second Army participated in. This is a real fight against the enemy on the enemy's territory, and the intensity is not the same.

After experiencing the baptism of this war, the Second Legion must have grown a lot, and will become an excellent legion for the Dagan Empire in the future.

The only trouble now.

Just can't move forward fast.

This will inevitably give the Shu court time to react.

To be honest, this is not in line with the high-speed combat that the army has always liked, but in order to reduce casualties, it is better to continue this steady policy.

"Let this general see... what cards the court of the Kingdom of Shu can show." Ke Hua'an murmured.

he thinks.

The court of the Kingdom of Shu has rushed to the street like this once. This time, it should be able to come up with a plan that a normal person can think of, right?

Hmm...should?

…………

Tang country.

They are being beaten by Chen Guo here.

Li Min watched the Qian army raging in Shu, and then killed the Wei army on the other side.

And his Tang Jun was held back by Chen Jun.

"Why?" Li Min was completely confused.

According to the information he got, Emperor Chen's power was not centralized at all, but why was such a split small country so capable of fighting?

Emperor Chen is now grinning every day, letting Chen Jun go and beat Tang Jun hard enough.

There is also a gap between emperor and emperor.

Li Min finally went to see Li Yuan.

The father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time.

At this time, Li Yuan was sitting quietly, as if waiting for Li Min.

Li Min was quite depressed, and sat on a chair: "Father..."

"Second." Li Yuan said, "Do you have any questions?"

"I don't understand... why Tang Jun can't beat Chen Jun..." Li Min sighed.

"...Do you think the emperor is important?" Li Yuan asked.

Li Min opened his mouth slightly.

Li Min would be angry if others said such treasonous words, but it was his father who had usurped the throne who said this.

"Of course it's important..."

"Well, it is indeed important. If the imperial power is strong, the country should be strong?"

"This……"

Li Min just wanted to say of course.

But suddenly stopped.

If you think about it carefully, there is actually no causal relationship between the two.

The imperial power is so strong that it can only implement the emperor's decrees.

"The emperor of the Chen Kingdom is basically completely empty now, and his subjects are very powerful. But the Chen Kingdom is actually well-organized. This is the so-called elite ruling the country..."

“有能力的人将被重用，皇帝没有那个能力把功高震来，自.小！说。群:9:8"0'2。0；5′8，5:6主的人给贬谪。”

"This is the fundamental reason why Chen Guo is strong."

"And the most important reason... is actually that Chen Guo has consciously focused on improving his military strength in the past few years."

"Chen Guo is not big."

"They know very well that if they want to hold Qian Guo's thigh tightly, they must show value."

"Economy...culture...these things are completely unnecessary, just rely on hard work."
