Chapter 180: Zuo Erguan

Many scholars want to be officials, not officials.

The second official is not only an excessive class between officials and officials, but also an official, even if it is a petty official of eight grades and nine grades.

That's also an official body.

This can be regarded as a way out for many ordinary people, and it has given a lot of benefits to the people in the low-level Shilin.

The increase in the number of officials cannot be rejected by any bureaucracy.

But in this way, there are more officials in a county.

From the system designed by Li Bing, it can be seen that the county order is seven products, the deputy of the county order, the county Cheng, and the main book are from the seven products, and there is a division of labor below, and the main book is under the six house masters, all of which are eight products, or nine products, depending on the qualifications.

Inspections, warehouse ambassadors, teachings, school sacrificial wine, and officials in charge of each township in various places, there are eight products.

There are all kinds of officials, and there are dozens of officials in a county, with the lowest nine grades to the highest seven grades of the county order.

Hold on to the vital places.

The real clerk, that is, the clerk at the lowest level, is the clerk.

Even if some officials do a good job, they can have an official status, and they can only be promoted to officials after they have an official body.

Otherwise, he will be a servant for the rest of his life.

Moreover, on the first floor of the palace, some officials have also been specially added to be responsible for the management of officials.

In the past, the management of the officials in each county was in charge of themselves, but now even the management of the officials has to be intervened by the imperial court.

However, the management of officials naturally cannot be directly placed in the center, and it is simply unbusy and unrealistic.

So the heavy responsibility of this management is placed below.

Now, it is the difference between the so-called provincial and national editions.

And he made a lot of rules for the officials. For example, the recusal system.

The Ming Dynasty's recusal system for officials was generally the northerners and the southerners in the south during the Hongwu period, but later found that it was not very realistic, so it was changed to the avoidance of the province.

That is, under normal circumstances, officials will not return to their provinces to become officials.

However, such a system is not very suitable for officials.

First of all, the income of the officials is very low, after all, the salaries of the Ming officials are not too high, and the income of the officials is even lower, and they cannot afford the cost of moving too far.

If he is allowed to use the official post, it will be the imperial court that cannot afford this cost.

Second, it is necessary to take into account the special circumstances of each locality.

In some places, the dialect is very heavy, and the court officials do not deal directly with the people, and sometimes it is okay not to know the local dialect.

After all, there are not many people like Li Dongyang who work hard to learn the local dialect for a few years of service.

But the officials have to be on the front line to contact the people, how can they do it if they don't know the local dialect?

Therefore, for the official Li Bing, the county recusal.

In other words, officials can be on duty in neighboring counties. Generally speaking, although the dialects are intertwined in a county, even if they are not interconnected, it is easier for the locals to learn.

In addition, there are quite a few detailed regulations, which will not be detailed here.

Zhu Qizhen roughly looked at it. sighed secretly in his heart: "Li Bing is a talent. ”

Actually, this is nonsense.

Shangshu, especially the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, is not too much to say that it is under one person and above ten million people. Anyone who can be killed step by step from below, who is not a talent?

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment and said, "Li Qing, in this way, is there too much of Zuo Erguan?" ”

When Li Bing heard the words "Li Qing", his heart suddenly burst into joy. This shows that the emperor has accepted his surrender.

Li Bing's hanging heart suddenly fell.

There were even tears in the corners of his eyes.

Li Bing has had a hard time lately.

After all, every civil official boss must have a force behind him, and a civil official boss who does not have the support of this force will not be able to sit still.

But Li Bing is now at the point of betrayal and separation.

Even if he spoke within the ministry, it didn't work much, and most of the officials went to Cui Gong, the servant of the ministry.

This Cui Gong is from Hebei.

Zhu Qizhen has been promoting Hebei people over the years, and the proportion of Hebei people in the court has increased a lot, although it can't be half of Jiangxi in the Manchu Dynasty. But it also formed a group, and there was a Hebei gang looming in the middle of the court.

Of course, officials of geographical origin are often a loose alliance. Many people have different political views.

However, even so, there are some things that can support each other.

Cui Gong seems to have determined that Li Bing is no longer able to sit firmly in the Ministry of Officials, and is looking for a way up and down, trying to finalize the position of the Ministry of Officials.

It's like treating Li Bing as a dead man.

This is also the reason why Li Bing is willing to be humiliated and surrender to the emperor.

Although he had already written the law of officials, he had been struggling in his heart.

To be honest, Li Bing is not a person with too much desire for power. He dealt with his former allies strictly, and although he was a little ashamed, he was not ashamed much.

Because Li Bing dared to guarantee that there was no problem with all the cases he had passed, the most of them were a little heavy when the verdict was made. But also within reason.

If it was really framed, Li Bing would have to stop him even if he gave up his life.

It's just that his former allies don't think so.

Because law is law, law enforcement is law enforcement.

always felt that Li Bing was targeting them, so he attacked Li Bing the most.

Li Bing was a little ashamed at first, but after a long time, he didn't think so, he felt that these people were still inappropriate, Li Bing had been in politics for so many years, he was upright, and he never violated the law of the country.

Otherwise, I really thought that the emperor would not arrest people.

Zhu Qizhen has also checked Li Bing, since he entered politics, every term, even if it is not perfect, can not find a flaw. Otherwise, do you really think that Li Bing can be a secretary of the ministry?

The clay figurines are still a little angry.

Besides, the position of Li Bing's official department is still the book, do you really think it fell from the sky? It's not even a step by step kill among countless colleagues.

Li Bing said secretly in his heart: "Wait for the clown to jump the beam, wait and see." ”

He suppressed the cranky thoughts in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, there are not many officials, the ministers have served in the local government, and they know the local affairs, which are both many and cumbersome. There are many things that are too late to be ignored. If you don't want to, you can't. His Majesty thinks that this dynasty officials are hindering the country, but it is not just to abolish the officials, and the state system is good. It is necessary to sort out the way up and down. ”

"Fang is the way to go for the long term."

Zhu Qizhen listened and thought silently in his heart.

In his opinion, the so-called assistant officials are actually officials who can be in charge of special affairs in different categories. This suddenly reminded him of the difference between a political officer and a affairs officer.

The officials are all administrative officials, including the officials below, and only the county magistrate in each county is the administrative officer. With an arrangement like his, almost every county is a small court.

However, this is also normal.

Wasn't the beginning of the provincial system as if each province was a central government?

Li Bing said as he peeked at Zhu Qizhen's face, and continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is still a problem that the minister can't solve, so the second official is set up. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Oh, what's the problem? ”

Li Bing said: "It is a problem of the officials, the local officials of the court are low, and the treatment of the officials must be lower than that of the court officials, and among the officials, there must be a stream." In this way, it is not easy to distribute. ”

"The only way to include these high-level officials is to be included in the list of officials."

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he suddenly felt in his heart that Li Bing meant something else.

The salaries of Ming officials are not high, but on the whole, they are still passable. After all, after Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, he exchanged all the treasure banknotes and discounts. There are only two kinds of food, food and money.

Even in Beijing, they can be exchanged with each other. But at the local level, it depends on whether the local government has more money or more food.

This can be regarded as a salary increase in disguise.

It's just that after these years, with the development of the economy, there are more temptations in the world. There is not much money in the hands of officials. Of course, if you can't control yourself, no one will have enough money.

But compared with some wealthy businessmen and gentry, such as the Xian family, even if the Xian family is not a colt, they are also rich people who can take out hundreds of thousands of taels in one go.

Compared with the situation where each county order is only 100 taels a year, some of the contrasts are too stark.
