As June begins, the weather in Qingzhou suddenly becomes hotter.

At this time of year, he misses contemporary sweatshirts and big trousers very much. After all, compared to such a cool outfit, he can only walk around in a dragon robe.

Fortunately, he was the emperor and had people to serve him at any time. In order not to be distracted by the heat when dealing with government affairs, he asked Qian Dafu to find saltpeter and water, and at the same time, he asked the Equipment Department to make a hand-crank fan.

When saltpeter encounters water, it will absorb a lot of heat from the water, causing the water to freeze. Using a fan can blow this cold wind over.

This makes it cool and humid, and the effect is not much different from installing an air conditioner in the house.

The only disadvantage is that it needs to consume strategic resources such as saltpeter. However, since he took control of Bashu, the Minerals Department has taken over the nitride holes in Shu. He finally doesn't have to worry about lack of saltpeter resources.

In the past, when Xiao Ming was handling government affairs, Qian Dafu always stood outside the door, but now he is standing inside the door.

This was something Xiao Ming understood that he had made it with great effort. This move was very small, but it moved Qian Dafu very much.

Just as he was enjoying the coolness in the house, a little eunuch arrived outside the door. Qian Dafu asked the little eunuch and went back to the house.

"Emperor, the Goryeo delegation has arrived in Qingzhou and has been arranged in Jinxiu Restaurant by the Foreign Affairs Office." Qian Dafu said.

Xiao Ming was correcting the sent note, raised his head and pondered for a moment, and he said, "See them tomorrow, forget it today, I'm not in the mood."

Qian Dafu responded, turned around and asked the little eunuch to notify the Foreign Affairs Office, then turned around and asked, "The emperor was quite happy just now, why did he lose his mood now?"

Xiao Ming has always trusted Qian Dafu very much and liked to say anything to him. He sighed and said, "It's not the corruption of officials. It's only been a few years since I ascended the throne. These officials can't help but stretch out their hands to make money."

"So it's this." Qian Dafu thought for a while and said, "Since the beginning of the founding of Dayu State, the corruption problem of this official has been getting worse and worse. Emperor Gaozu was angry and beheaded tens of thousands of officials, so that there were no officials everywhere in Dayu State, but this is still impossible to cure. Moreover, although some officials in Dayu State have graduated from Qingzhou University, most of them are still old officials from the past. These officials are used to corruption, so how could they stop?"

Xiao Ming nodded. Qian Dafu was right. 80% of the corruption problem lies in the old officials in the past, and 20% of the officials from Qingzhou University.

This is just a memorandum sent by the Supervision Bureau. More officials who were not found were probably found.

Xiao Ming sometimes feels powerless about this problem. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the contemporary Ming Dynasty, almost killed officials but failed to curb this problem. How should he solve it now?

After pondering for a moment, he said: "The eradication of corruption is not about killing, but about changing customs. The Confucian etiquette that has been reciprocating exchanges for thousands of years is the foundation of corruption. This is a corruption culture. As long as the soil of this culture is not eradicated, the Great Yu Kingdom will continue to be corrupt forever."

At this moment, Xiao Ming felt that developing technology is important, but it is also important to eradicate some dross cultures. Although Confucian etiquette emphasizes etiquette.

However, this kind of etiquette has gradually extended to things like giving gifts after thousands of years of inheritance.

In addition to this custom, the relationship society and human relationship society are also differently recognized by him, because this is essentially a continuation of clan relations and a drawback that hinders the realization of the rule of law in the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

In this relationship, officials accept bribes through favors, thus allowing the law to be trampled on,

At the same time, when an official becomes an official, the whole family will be promoted to heaven. In the long run, clan forces will appear where the court's rule is weak, and even the government affairs of a certain government department.

"Change customs and customs, change customs and customs..." Xiao Ming kept repeating, because this is the fundamental solution and the law of avoiding the rise and replacement of dynasties.

Qian Dafu was already dumbfounded, and Xiao Ming proposed a solution that he had never heard of.

"Your Majesty, the people of Dayu have become accustomed to this kind of life. How difficult is it to change?" Qian Dafu shook his head.

"It is difficult to say it is difficult, it is not difficult to say it is not difficult. The court represents the law, and Confucianism represents the moral constraints of the people. This change of customs and customs naturally starts from the fundamentals of culture. Confucianism changes customs and customs, and the Dayu country changes customs and customs." Xiao Ming said.

Through these seven years of observation, Xiao Ming found that the concept of Confucianism was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and their status in the hearts of the people was indecent than that of Western Christianity.

Christian believers abide by the doctrine, while officials and people who trust Confucianism abide by the Confucianism's ideas.

If the people use the spirit of being immersed in pig cages to treat corruption, the corruption problem in the Great Chongqing Kingdom will inevitably be solved.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming felt that it was right not to completely eliminate Confucianism. Perhaps he could have two names: Da Confucianism and Da Yu Emperor, and to eradicate the problems that Da Yu had formed over the past thousands of years from both material and spiritual aspects.

Qian Dafu looked at Xiao Ming in a daze. He felt that the emperor who never acted according to the rules would make something big happen again.

"By the way, where are Ge Yiren and the other two now?"

Xiao Ming asked, this matter naturally requires the cooperation of three people.

He decided to create a century-old scam so that the three of them became great scholars representing the ideas of the new era and influenced the thoughts of the people of the Great Chongqing Kingdom through their works.

Of course, this idea must be passed through his hands.

"They were in Qufu. After the news of the victory of the Northern Expedition came back, the three of them went to Qufu. It has to be said that these three people were also extremely smart. With the power of the victory of the Northern Expedition, they were more confident."

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, "Let them come back and see me."

"Yes, the emperor." Qian Dafu responded.

After understanding this matter, Xiao Ming submitted a memorial to approve the memorial. Although it was necessary to change customs, these corrupt officials also had to give heavy blows, otherwise the punishment would be light and less afraid of authority, and would not cause any deterrence to the current officialdom.

After correcting the memorial in his hand, Xiao Ming began to think about how to deal with Goryeo.

Obviously, Goryeo is just fish on the chopping board to him, and he can slaughter it. Even if Goryeo fights him desperately, the final outcome will be nothing more than defeat.

However, the army that defeated others without fighting was always more skillful than the force. Since Goryeo chose to surrender tactfully, he would take this opportunity to completely assimilate Goryeo and turn it into a mansion in the Great Yu Kingdom.

This time may be a long time, but it is an unwise choice to keep an unstable factor around the country of Great Yu.
