Ah well, now I see clearer: without govenors you also have a not to low problem with unrest, is that right? And you have taxes on low and build all law and happiness building first? So, may be your economy is underdeveloped, or at least you are not making the money you should with your empire. Nevertheless, 7,000 in corruption is way to much.

After moving your capital, you should also place governors in all cities, if possible. Even a corrupt governor with much influence is better than none. The governor will reduce unrest, what will allow you to raise taxes. Let him have his share, and take the rest. I think that even a corrupt governor creates less corruption than none at all.
