Here comes!

Finally come!

Upon hearing the report, Zhu Houzhao's brow that had just been stretched out suddenly frowned again.

He swallowed and said with some difficulty: "Get up, get up..."

A silence.

When the visitor saw Zhu Houzhao still standing there, he had no choice but to speak out again to remind him.

"Your Highness is in Xuanfu, and there is still something that has not been completed yet?"

"If there is, just keep giving it to me, I believe that the people below will do their best to do their best."

This is a tactful urging Zhu Houzhao to leave now.

Zhu Houzhao said helplessly: "I understand."

"Let's go..."

There is nothing to clean up, so I left with both hands.

More than 5,000 Beijing troops were waiting outside the city gate. Such a conspicuous target would not be enough even if the people in the city wanted to be called "I don't know".

When I learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in Xuanfu City, and had just won a great victory and was preparing for the news of triumph.

Everyone walked out of the house and stood by the street waiting to see the true appearance of the crown prince of the State Council.

Zhu Houzhao rode on the tall horse, following Zhao Ce and others.

The reluctance just now all cleaned up and showed up in front of everyone.

No matter what, the face-saving project still needs to be done well.

What's more, he was a man who had just won a big victory.

Liu Jin was behind him, and he felt sad.

After all, if you go back early before, you can still be exempted from punishment.

But at this time, if you go back early and go back late, you will be punished.

While Liu Jin was sighing, the common people who saw the prince were already cheering.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for the triumphant success, and His Highness the Crown Prince, Thousand Years!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Cheers one after another sounded on both sides of the street.

Everyone was excited on their faces and bowed to Zhu Houzhao.

What's more, he even knelt down and kept shouting good words from his mouth.

Most people yearn for peace.

But peace is hard to come by and basically impossible to get it out of thin air.

This time, Zhu Houzhao was able to lead the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to win a complete victory. At least the frontiers will definitely be peaceful during this period.

Even if it is just a short period of peace, these ordinary people can live a comfortable life for a while.

Therefore, there were many words of gratitude mixed with everyone's shouts.

Zhu Houzhao rode on the horse, listening to what everyone said, and she was also happy for a moment.

Although I don’t know if his father will be angry after going back.

But at least at this moment, he felt that what he did this time was worth it!

When a group of people left the city, they saw the Jinyiwei and the Five Thousand Capital Army led by Mou Bin and the other two.

When everyone saw him coming out, they gave a big gift.

"I welcome the crown prince back to the palace!"

Zhu Houzhao's face was full of energy and was no longer pretending.

He stretched out his hand and raised it calmly.

"Thank you all for your hard work, get up."

"Thank you, Prince Qiansheng!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't take a carriage when she went back.

Still riding a horse, walking leisurely in front of you.

In addition to the five thousand capital troops, Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui also brought 10,000 elite troops to escort along the way.

It was not until they were sent to Juyong Pass that the group turned around and went back.

Zhu Hui’s affairs are not over, and he cannot go back to collect the credit this time.

However, Emperor Hongzhi will definitely not forget him, after all, he wrote the battle report.

Once you enter Juyongguan, you will be basically safe.

And it's getting closer to home.

Zhu Houzhao rode a horse and tried not to think about whether he would be praised or to serve him after returning to the palace.

He held Zhao Ce by his side and discussed together how to improve the issue of corruption in the military pay.

Zhao Ce was also a little home-oriented at this time, and he could not think of a better countermeasure in his mind.

I can only say vaguely: "Corruption has been repeatedly banned since ancient times."

"Whether it's military pay or anything else."

"But Lord Yang also said before that he started smuggling because his salary was too low."

"Although smuggling is not a serious crime, it is also wrong."

"If a person always follows the rules, he will probably be able to withstand a lot of temptations,"

"But once you know that you have made a mistake, even if it is a small mistake, you are still safe and sound, then the fearlessness and greed in your heart will become greater and greater."

"In the end, you will commit a huge disaster and even involve the family."

"So, have your highness ever thought that you might try the practice of maintaining integrity with high salaries?"

A high salary may not have much effect.

After all, high salaries cannot transform corruption into honest psychology.

It can at least help a small number of people and maintain the moral bottom line.

The salaries of officials of the Ming Dynasty, whether civil officials or military generals, were too low.

It is so low that there is no extra income that it cannot support the family at all.

A well-known honest official like Hai Rui, all of them are barely slutty, and their children will not be full and will starve to death.

There are not many officials of this type, but there are not none.

If some salary can be increased and their lives can be improved, I believe that many people can suppress the thoughts of taking risks in their hearts to make money.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned: "Raising the salary?"

"All the officials of our Ming Dynasty seem to be able to live without a chance. Are their salaries very low?"

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "How can you know the whole thing when you see the leopard in the pit?"

"But compared to the officials who cannot die of starvation, what I actually value more is the treatment of the lower-class people and soldiers."

Whether it is a high salary to support integrity or continue to use low salary, it actually has no impact on Zhao Ce.

He has titles and subsidies from the court.

The family also has a small business, which can bring him huge profits every year.

Even if he doesn't rely on the salary from the Hanlin Academy on Weibo, he can still live a happy life.

However, to rectify corruption, we really cannot just punish it.

At that time, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty hated corrupt officials to the core. After collecting a few taels of silver, he had to peel it and hang it at the city gate for the people to curse.

But despite this, there are still fresh officials hanging at the city gate every day.

In addition to punishment, Zhao Ce believes that it can give some sweetness to the people below.

Improve their sense of recognition of the court.

Just like what I said before, we should equip the army with propagandists.

Just talking, you can only care for a while.

In the end, the soldiers at the bottom must be given a full meal so that they can truly feel a sense of identity.

Zhu Houzhao pondered: "It is possible to increase the salary, but I am afraid that a group of officials with a bigger appetite will be raised by then."

"For these officials who transport military pay, the military pay will start to lose less when they leave the warehouse."

"We have been exploited layer by layer, and we are deeply in the temple and have no way of knowing it."

Zhao Ce also sighed.

"Yes, this is not easy to deal with."

"There is no perfect system, you can only choose the right system at the moment."
