In the vast history of mankind, corruption has always been a difficult problem. In order to maintain social stability and justice, the rulers of all dynasties have adopted various means to punish **. For example, caning, exile, death, confiscation, etc. Today we will take the Ming Dynasty as an example and draw on historical stories to learn from how to punish in ancient times.
In the first year of Hongwu (1368), Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, with the country name Daming and the year name Hongwu. Called the emperor and queen to rectify the rule of officials, Zhu Yuanzhang took extremely severe punishment measures against **. He stipulated that ** should be punished with heavy sentences. ** Those who are more than sixty taels will be shown to the public and paraded throughout the city.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also implemented the torture of "peeling the skin and grass", peeling off the skin of **, filling it with forage, making a straw man, and placing it at the door of the government to warn others. Such punitive measures make ** nowhere to hide, and play an effective deterrent role.
In the governance of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also paid attention to system construction to prevent corruption from the source. He established a strict supervision system, and set up institutions such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise and review the behavior of the people.
At the same time, he also implemented the avoidance system to avoid nepotism between relatives and friends and reduce the possibility of avoidance. This system is similar to the recruitment of modern tobacco ** departments.
In addition to heavy punishment and system construction, Zhu Yuanzhang also paid attention to ideological education, so that he could establish a sense of honesty and integrity. He personally compiled the "Great Message", emphasizing that we should be diligent in government, love the people, and be honest and honest. He also promoted Confucianism and strengthened the moral concept of the first through the establishment of lecture halls and academies.
In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, a ** was sentenced to death by Zhu Yuanzhang for accepting bribes. The ** regretted it and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to give him a chance, but Zhu Yuanzhang was resolutely unmoved. It can be seen that the ancient times had zero tolerance for **, and there was no chance at all.
There is also a story of being honest and honest, and Yu Qian, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, was honest and honest, which won the hearts of the people. He has always maintained a high moral character in officialdom and is not moved by money. Once, a friend of his brought a bag of silver taels from afar and asked him to do something.
Yu Qian refused with a smile, and wrote a poem to give to a friend: "Silk pegga mushrooms and incense sticks, the capital and civilians will be harmed." This story tells us that the duty of ** should be based on the interests of the people, and not for the sake of selfish interests.
In today's real life, we can still learn from the wisdom of ancient times to punish**.
First of all, we must establish a sound legal system to crack down on the best behaviors, so that there are no legal loopholes to drill.
Secondly, we must strengthen the supervision mechanism and increase all kinds of inspection and supervision systems, so that there is nowhere to hide. 
Finally, we must pay attention to ideological education, improve the public's moral quality and legal awareness, so that everyone can consciously resist the phenomenon of corruption.
Although the ancient method of punishment is different from that of modern times, the wisdom contained in it is still worth learning and Xi learning from. We should draw lessons from historical stories and constantly improve the governance system of modern society, so as to make our society more just, harmonious and beautiful.
