Xia Yuanji sighed, "I understand. All crows in the world are black. In the world of crows, white swans are sins. Honest officials are rare, while corrupt officials are like sand in the Yellow River."

"That's it. The world is so vast that even if I work myself to death, I still can't govern it all. That's why officials are needed to govern on behalf of the emperor.

Even if I replace all the officials in the world, who can guarantee that the ones who are replaced are not corrupt officials? And they are corrupt officials with empty stomachs?

Therefore, sometimes they are greedy and I turn a blind eye to it, but if they cross the line, they must be arrested and killed! Wanting the world to be full of honest officials is only a dream.

Because this is human nature, human nature is greedy! People will never be satisfied. If they have 100 taels, they want 1,000 taels. If they have 1,000 taels, they want 10,000 taels.

The way of an emperor is the way to employ people. Only those who can manipulate people's hearts are qualified to fight for the world. Nine out of ten civil and military officials in the court are corrupt, but what can be done?

Be it Wang Chunsan or Zhao Mian, don't I know they are greedy? But I want them to help me with things, so as long as they don't cross the line, I will forgive them where I can.

But once they cross the line, their greed is their death warrant! Because people are never satisfied, even if they are in a high position and rule the world, they are still greedy! "

Zhu Yunhuan stood up, and his words revealed too much helplessness.

Xia Yuanji said he understood, "I have seen too many such things since I entered the government."

“Well, if he is capable and has not exceeded the line of corruption, we can just turn a blind eye to it. If he is capable but has exceeded the line of corruption, then when the last value of his value has been squeezed out, that is, when he is liquidated, if he is incompetent and still embezzles, he will be put to death if he is found out. So, corruption is not necessarily a capital crime. It mainly depends on your ability to do things and whether you know how to be content.” Zhu Yunhuan came and sat down next to Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji was puzzled. "I understand. Your Highness, what is your intention in telling me this?"

"I know you are poor and you don't covet money. You live a hard life and are an honest official. I am afraid that you will not be able to stand their corruption and then be killed by them, or you will not be able to bear the mentality of being regarded as an alien by them and then become corrupt as well. So I remind you to take care of yourself. There are so many corrupt officials in the world and you can't manage them all."

Zhu Yunhuan replied.

When Xia Yuanji heard this, he looked as if he had suddenly understood something. So that's what it was.

"Your Highness, rest assured. I will do my job. I am not from the Anti-Corruption Bureau, so there is no need to make things difficult for them. It's okay as long as I am not greedy. No matter what others think or say, I am not greedy! As an official, one should worry about the world before enjoying oneself, and be happy after the world is happy." Xia Yuanji bowed.

Zhu Yunxun hummed, "Do your job well. I have high hopes for you. You can go down as well."

"Thank you for your encouragement, Your Highness. I will take my leave."

Xia Yuanji bowed and left.

Zhu Yunhuan rubbed his brows and said, "Now the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel are all in my hands. The military power, the financial power, and the power to appoint and dismiss officials are in my hands. Only then can I hold the lifeline of the world.

Wang Chunsan is of great use. Once he really makes a report, he will have to work with me. Chang Sheng is my uncle, so he can only stand on my side. The only one left is Tang He, who holds military power, but his attitude is unclear for the time being.

However, as the Huaixi Group, at least they will not be hostile to me. I have to build a personal army. The Divine Mighty Invincible General Cannon will be equipped to me first, and the rest of the soldiers should use the Hongwu Cannon first. "

Zhu Yunhuan analyzed the power he currently controlled to himself.

You still need to be strong in order to strike iron.

[Ding Dong! The Red Cannon is released ahead of schedule, the host has control over finances, the power to appoint and dismiss officials, and the power to mobilize troops, and is one step closer to the goal of becoming the greatest emperor of all time, triggering hidden mission rewards.]

[Hidden Mission Reward: Unlock the System Mall! The host can buy whatever he needs. ]

Hearing the system prompt sound, Zhu Yunhuan’s thoughts also entered the system space.

Sure enough, I saw a mall page.
