Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 134 ICAC
As if knowing what Yu Jackie was thinking, Tangning smiled and said, "Does Mr. Yu think that I have found the wrong person?"

Yu Chenglong is also an upright person by nature. He was guessed and did not deny it. He said directly: "Your Excellency is wise. Cao Min is a down-and-out scholar who has no achievements and no reputation. He has accomplished nothing. He dare not lie to Your Excellency."

Tangning's expression didn't change at all, and she said seriously, "It's gold, it always shines. Maybe you and Jackie Chan don't think you're a piece of gold, but I believe it."

"You don't need to ask me why I think you are a piece of gold, and you don't need to ask why I chose you in the vast crowd of Da Ming."

"Just tell me, what would you do if I made you a parent officer?"

Yu Chenglong was startled, he never expected that Tangning would ask such a question as soon as he opened his mouth.

But Mr. Tang's question, he naturally had to answer, and after a little deliberation, he blurted out: "An official should never take food and clothing as his ambition, and must not be ignorant of the world's conscience, care for the common people, and lead by example."

Tang Ning stood up and said in a loud voice, "It's a good one who doesn't take food and clothing as his ambition, and a good one who doesn't ignore the conscience of the world. He cares about the people and leads by example."

Having said this, Tangning's voice paused, then she turned to stare at Yu Chenglong, and said, "Did these words come from the bottom of my heart?"

Yu Chenglong quickly bowed and said solemnly: "From the bottom of my heart, the world can learn from it."

"Yu Chenglong, you have been in Fucheng for a few days. You should know that as long as you have ability, you will give full play to your talents. I hope you don't let me be fooled by you."

Yu Chenglong was immediately panicked, he didn't know how to respond, and he didn't know what Tangning was going to do.

Is it true that without investigating anything, he should be appointed as the parent officer of Yu Chenglong?

Obviously, Tangning's ideas were far beyond Jackie Chan's imagination. He urgently needed a talent like Jackie Chan, so naturally he would not let him start slowly from a small magistrate.

"In today's troubled times, wars continue, officialdom is corrupt, officials are in darkness, and the people are struggling to survive."

"Although our Chaozhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture have vigorously rectified, people's hearts are not old. Some people and some things have rotted to the root."

"If you want to get rid of the ills, you have to get rid of those rotten roots, and then find out those good roots that are covered one by one, and make the best use of them."

"As time goes by, there will be more and more good roots, and those rotten roots will no longer be able to hide. The bright world will surely reappear."

"In ancient times, there was the Yushitai, and in the Ming Dynasty, there was the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Today, I want to establish a clean government department, recommend good officials, clean up corrupt officials, and regularly count the achievements of each official.

Hearing what Tangning said, Yu Chenglong was greatly shocked. He didn't know why Tangning said this to him.

More importantly, Tangning's move was really treasonous.

If, as Mr. Tang said, the establishment of the Department of Integrity, the functions of the Department of Integrity will even surpass the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

How could such an important institution be set up by a local military attache by himself?
According to normal legal principles, it is indeed inconsistent, but in today's world, don't everyone support their own self-respect?
How many people in Hong Guangchao's heart are the waste emperor who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun?

The four Jiangbei towns that helped him to the top are already too big to lose.

Zheng Zhilong of Nan'an Bo even covered the sky with one hand in Fujian.

Tang Ning was not in the mood to interact with the smoky Hong Guangchao for a long time, and he couldn't manage other places for the time being. He just wanted to manage his own territory in an orderly manner.

If he could save face, Tangning would save some face for Hong Guangchao. For example, in terms of name, he didn't use the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the Secretary of Integrity.

The Department of Anti-corruption will be a brand new department. For the time being, Tang Ning will not give them any grades and no official positions, but they will be able to supervise all officials including him.

"Yu Chenglong," Tangning said suddenly.

Yu Chenglong was startled, and quickly responded: "Caomin is here."

"From now on, you are the Secretary for Integrity."

Yu Chenglong's face changed drastically, and he said quickly: "My lord, is there something wrong?"

Tang Ning asked calmly, "Is it because you are afraid that others will say that you are rebellious Yu Jackie Chan? Or is it because you are afraid that Emperor Hongguang will cut off your head one day?"

Yu Chenglong pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "As long as he can do something for the common people, Caomin is not afraid. It's just that Caomin is a scholar, so he might take on such a big responsibility."

Tangning said seriously, "I said you can do it, you can do it. I will fully support you in everything you need. Now it's up to you whether you dare or not."

Yu Chenglong really wanted to do some practical things in his heart. In the official history, he failed and failed again and again to gain fame. It was not until he was in his 40s that he got an official position and was sent to any magistrate in remote Guangxi.

The predecessor died and fled in a short period of time, and the following servants couldn't bear it, either died or fled, but he himself was unmoved.

With a tenacious will, he persisted for three years, and finally made a double result.

Without a strong will, without a heart for the common people, it is impossible to achieve this step.

But the booth that Tang Ning laid out for him was too big. If it was just a county magistrate, even if it violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he could display his ambition, he would admit it.

But after Tangning finished speaking, she didn't try to persuade her any more. Instead, she returned to her seat and started drinking tea.

This job seems to have a lot of power, but it is a hard job, a thankless job that offends people, without a tough heart, sooner or later you will lose your heart.

According to the official history, Yu Chenglong didn't enter his official career until he was 44 years old. Now he is only 27 years old, without more than ten years of hard work, so Tangning doesn't know what kind of heart he is now.

However, as long as he dared to take on this job, Tangning would dare to give him enough resources to hone his skills.

If Yu Chenglong himself didn't have the guts to do so, Tangning would not force this job on him, the most important thing is to abide by his heart.

Tang Ning didn't say anything more. Yu Chenglong knew that this was the time for him to make a decision, and he was really thinking about it seriously. He knew that if he accepted this appointment, he would have a greater chance to realize his ambition.

But in the same way, this means greater responsibility, greater pressure, and greater ability required.

He was a little worried that he would not be competent, after all, he had never held an official position.

However, Yu Chenglong didn't think about it for a long time, and immediately bowed to his orders, "Yu Chenglong, a grassroots man, accepts orders."

"Haha. Alright." Tangning laughed loudly, and immediately stood up, helped Jackie Chan up, and let him sit down on the seat next to her.

Tang Ning wasn't too surprised that Yu Chenglong agreed, because Tangning had confidence in the toughness of this person's heart. He was just a little worried that Yu Chenglong would not be able to pass the threshold of etiquette.

After all, this appointment is not justified, and it is impossible to be affirmed by the nominally orthodox Hongguang court.

But obviously, Tangning's worries were unnecessary.

Yu Jackie was born in the Wanli period and experienced the darkest period in the late Ming Dynasty.

Although I tried my best to do something for this dark age, but because of the darkness, I finally failed to enter the official career.

According to the official history, he entered the official career of the Qing Dynasty and was an upright official in the Qing Dynasty, which shows that he only wanted to do some practical things for the common people in the world. As for the distinction between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he did not have such a strong obsession.

So in his heart, whether he can get the affirmation of the Hongguang court is not a big deal.

He just needs to know that Tang Ning can be the master in Chaozhou and Huizhou and let him show his talents.
