Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 909
The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the officials in the world and is related to the current governance status of the empire.

Lu Hao came here this time to check the work status of the past year, and all the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs were mobilized.

After the initial name change of the empire, many officials had not yet adapted. However, with the deepening of the administrative reform measures and the assessment system, these inactive officials have been replaced and removed, which has been greatly improved.

The task assessment mechanism cited by Lu Hao and the responsibility system implemented at all levels have been comprehensively promoted and deepened, giving the empire a completely new look.

Of course, the main reason is that large-scale projects are all led by the Imperial Ministry of Industry. There are not many large-scale projects in the local area, and naturally there are fewer corrupt officials.

However, with the economic development of the empire, many large-scale factory constructions are likely to be decentralized to each state. It will be difficult to say by then.

The official assessment was combined with the people's livelihood survey, and people's mailboxes were opened at the government offices to allow everyone to put forward all their dissatisfactions.

Once someone reports that an official has taken bribes and violated the law, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will immediately start an investigation and be sure to give an explanation to the people.

Lu Hao's idea is very good, but it is still very difficult to implement it.

As Xu Liting was Murong Yuan's former employee, Lu Hao did not replace him, and he was also cautious about his career and did not dare to make any mistakes to avoid being directly replaced by the emperor.

In fact, Lu Hao is not a narrow-minded person, so he will not care about him being Murong Yuan's man.

Lu Hao read through many files sent in, as well as the job description reports of the officials below, and found some areas of dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, we will make rectifications immediately and ensure that these existing problems are solved."

Xu Liting said quickly.

"Master Xu, you should know my temper very well. I will give you three days to solve the problems I have flagged. If you cannot investigate well, you should know the consequences."

Lu Hao's voice was neither impatient nor impatient, but it was extremely lethal.

"Wei Chen understands!"

Xu Liting responded quickly.

"Especially the corruption among officials, we must suppress it. If it doesn't work, those who have embezzled millions of taels of silver will be pulled out and chopped!"

Lu Hao's words were simple and clear.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Once a corrupt official is discovered, he will be executed on the spot immediately. We will never condone the traitor!"

Xu Liting was horrified.

"I am quite generous to officials at all levels. I should not treat everyone unfairly in terms of salary. If someone dares to cross the line or just muddle along, it would be outrageous. As for how to punish him? I leave it to Mr. Xu to decide for himself."

Lu Hao warned again.

"Your Majesty, after passing the scientific examination, the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are rigorously reviewed and selected at all levels. They are also constantly focusing on the integrity assessment..."

Xu Liting explained again.

"The empire has now established the Anxi Protectorate. The imperial staff must send people there to supervise the implementation, and the people sent must be capable to avoid getting involved with them..."

"With the expansion of the empire's territory, the tasks of the officials will become more and more heavy. However, the administration of officials is the foundation of the empire's political power. Corruption must not start from the top. When the time comes, we will perish ourselves without others coming to attack us. .”

Lu Hao said sincerely.

Xu Liting also deeply felt the great responsibility and nodded repeatedly, hoping to do these things better.

"Xu Aiqing, don't feel any pressure or have any worries in your heart. No matter whether it is a relative of the emperor or a member of my family, once you violate the bottom line, you will be punished if you need to be punished and reported if you need to be reported. Just go ahead and do it. I will not Protect your shortcomings!"

Lu Hao comforted with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!"

Xu Liting was deeply moved.

"Okay, in order to support your work and rectify the imperial administration, if you still have any difficulties, you can tell me directly and I will try my best to help you solve them."

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"To be honest with the emperor, there are indeed many people who come to seek official positions. However, as the emperor said, all ministers must pass the imperial examination and be selected on the basis of merit. They will never dare to bend the law for personal gain!"

Xu Liting assured again.

"In this case, I will leave the administration of officials to you. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me at any time." Lu Hao warned.

The two made some optimization and adjustments to the current official management plan, and then Lu Hao left the official office.

Next, Lu Hao visited the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry.

Now that the empire is in peace and prosperity, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Ministry of Punishment is the most relaxed, because the crime rate in the empire has reached a new low.

The Ministry of Revenue now has money, so there is not much pressure at all. Even taxes have been cut a lot by the emperor, so the number of tax collectors has also been reduced.

The Ministry of War is also very idle now and basically does not continue to recruit new soldiers. The soldiers in Yanshan Camp are enough.

Du Ze, the Minister of Rites, saw Lu Hao coming and said he wanted to take him to see his sister-in-law, which almost made Lu Hao furious.

There was no way, the Ministry of Etiquette had the least to do, and Du Ze had already arranged the celebration.

"Your Majesty, please come back with me, just to have a meal and meet my little sister-in-law. To be honest, my little sister-in-law is really beautiful, and she is one of the most beautiful women in Yandi City..."

Du Ze was still trying his best to persuade him.

"You brat, look at how much you brag. I haven't seen your little sister-in-law before?"

Lu Hao was really speechless.

"Ah! Have you seen it? Where have you seen it?"

Du Ze wondered.

"You have forgotten that I once hosted a banquet for the families of all the civil and military officials of the dynasty. Didn't you bring them? And you took the initiative to introduce them to me?"

Lu Hao reminded.

"Since you have met Wei Chen's sister-in-law, you should know her. What does the Emperor think of her?"

Du Ze still refused to give up.

"I'm really scared of you! Tell me, why are you trying so hard to promote your little sister-in-law? Do you really want to become a relative with me?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, from what you said, doesn't it mean that my sister-in-law likes the Emperor? Otherwise, Wei Chen wouldn't be so attentive."

Du Ze looked bitter.

"Hehehe... I'm surprised. She doesn't understand me, so how could she like me?"

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"It's true, my sister-in-law said she won't marry me unless you are the one!"

Du Ze responded seriously.

"I am already too busy at San Gong and Liu Yuan. Aren't you sincerely causing trouble? Tell your sister-in-law to find a good family to marry and stop worrying about me."

Lu Hao joked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, how can I explain to my wife when you are like this?"

Du Ze looked depressed.

"Hehehe... Is your wife a tigress? So afraid of his wife?"

Lu Hao laughed dumbly.

"Your Majesty, if you don't save me, I will die!"

Du Ze begged.

"Okay, then let's go to your house for dinner. It can be considered as a favor to your wife."

Lu Hao knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only go and take a look.
