Wang Hou sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, whether it is the central or local government, officials are easy to govern, and officials are difficult to clear!" The officials of the flowing water are iron-beaten officials, these local officials, with deep roots and leafy roots, are intertwined in the locality, but they are the main force of the government's work, in some places, to say something unpleasant, the official's fart does not understand, the criminal name, the money and food are all done by the master, the official is responsible for the wind and snow, and the poetry is just right, the only thing they can do is to stamp the big seal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info An official, if he doesn't make good officials, he is afraid that he will not be able to do anything in the local area, but he must not underestimate these local officials and make them worse, it is impossible to prevent them. The reason why I saved a lot of money in Feng County back then was because of this. ”

"The rectification of the officials you are carrying out now, or do you start with the officials first?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, if you want to get to the root of the problem, you can only start with the official, in fact, as long as the chief official is capable, the local officials will be better at governance, because he understands, so he can effectively curb this kind of atmosphere." Wang Hou said affirmatively: "This first step, I want to put capable officials on the throne, drive away those who can't do things, and the next step is to rectify the small officials." ”

"Since it's intertwined, I'm afraid it's not easy to start." After being told by Wang Hou, Qin Feng obviously realized the seriousness of this problem, he has been in the army all the year round, and he has basically not had any dealings with these small officials, and his understanding is extremely insufficient.

"It's not easy, but no matter how hard it is, you have to do it." Wang Hou's voice was a little heavy, "But I didn't expect that the development of the matter in Shunping County this time would be so serious, it is obvious that the matter in Shunping County is not as simple as I thought." ”

The horse monkey walked in from outside, "Your Majesty, Huo Shangshu and Lord Tian are here." ”

"Let them in." Qin Feng nodded.

After listening to Wang Hou's introduction briefly, Tian Zhen's eyes immediately showed a fierce light: "Your Majesty, this wind must not last." A thunderous blow must be given to warn all those who are lucky that if they do not resolutely suppress it this time, Wang Shangshu's reform of official governance will be abandoned halfway. ”

"Li'er is this Li'er, but you can't blindly kill indiscriminately." Qin Feng said: "Tian Zhen, if you are in charge of this matter, you must first understand the ins and outs of this matter, for example, whether this foreigner has solicited or accepted bribes, you can't just rely on a few words from our Wang Shangshu, but you must get real evidence." ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister can save it. If you want to kill, of course, you have to kill them to convince them. Tian Zhendao.

"This matter is not just as simple as the officials rioting and killing the officials, there must be officials behind it, and even some big people will be involved, if you want to investigate, you have to find out, but Tian Zhen, you have to pay attention to personal safety when you go, since they have started, it is not ruled out that they will be alone."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern. If they want to kill Tian Zhen, they don't have the ability yet. Tian Zhen grinned.

Qin Feng turned his head to look at Huo Guang, "Huo Shangshu, how is the military strength of Shunping County now?" ”

"Shunping County now has 3,000 county soldiers, combat effectiveness is average, the commander of the county soldiers Ni Kun, this year is more than sixty years old, relatively stable, is a native of Shunping County, but also one of the gentry of Shunping County. His son, Ni Shan, is now the deputy commander of the county soldiers. Your Majesty is worried that the county soldiers are also involved in this matter, and is afraid that they will cause chaos? Huo Guang asked: "Then do you want us to mobilize the county soldiers from Yongping County and move closer to Shunping." ”

Qin Feng waved his hand, "If that's the case, it's too obvious, but it's not beautiful." Huo Shangshu, the county soldier system is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, you send an order to transfer this Ni Shan to the Yuejing City Gate Army to serve as a general, if this Ni Shan happily goes to the post, then it can be proved that this incident has nothing to do with the county soldier system, then the matter is much simpler. ”

"Draw wages from the bottom of the kettle." Huo Guang smiled: "As long as the county soldier system is not involved in this matter, then the matter is indeed much easier, Xiucai rebelled, and it didn't work for three years, a group of villains who can only play tricks on their hearts, in front of Lord Tian, are like little chickens, and they are not what they want." ”

Qin Feng smiled and turned his head to look at Tian Zhen, "Find out the truth and punish the crime according to the law." Hehe, I founded the country in the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of domestic stability, I have always been tolerant of the old officials, probably these people have forgotten, we won this flower, not by mouth, but by knife. Since they are going to hit the knife, let the knife see blood again. If you don't kill, you have to kill, you have to kill everyone in the world, and kill the villain. ”

"Obey the order!" Tian Zhen bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister will retire, and the minister will go back immediately to arrange for it to rush to Shunping County." ”

"Don't be in such a hurry, just now I was talking to Wang Shangshu about the affairs of the officials, Tian Zhen, you don't understand these things, Huo Shangshu has also dealt with these people before, just brainstorming, so I will also listen to it, the rule of officials, there is no delay, do not change the officialdom atmosphere at the bottom of my Ming Dynasty, rich country and strong soldiers, it is an empty word. No matter how hard we try, we can't stand up to a large group of moles digging into your corners. ”

"In that case, Your Majesty, it's better to invite Lord Shoufu too, this big article, a department of the Ministry of Officials can't do it!" Wang Houdao.

Qin Feng divided most of the huge palace buildings in North Vietnam, and concentrated all the central ministries and offices to work together, which was convenient for the officials to concentrate on their deliberations.

Quan Yun obviously already knew about Shunping County, and when he walked into Qin Feng's study, his face was a little heavy.

"We must resolutely suppress and make an example." After saluting, Quan Yun's first words seemed a little murderous.

The heads of several important departments have a rare unity of opinion this time.

"Leave the killing to Tian Zhen to do." Qin Feng had already relieved his strength at this time, and his mood calmed down, "Please come over, I suddenly had an idea, everyone listen to it, go down and discuss it, about the reform of the rule of officials, we can't blindly force pressure, just give thunder, don't apply rain and dew, it's not the way to balance after all." ”

Quan Yun nodded again and again: "I don't know what Your Majesty is going to do?" ”

Qin Feng said: "The reason why the small officials are difficult to govern, in the final analysis, is a management problem, the officials are in charge of the officials, the officials are in charge of the officials, the officials are incompetent, and the officials will naturally be in charge, this is a long-term and long-term link, and now Wang Shangshu is solving the problem of the officials, and what I want to say is the problem of the officials." ”

"For a long time, the imperial court did not give the officials a salary, but only some corresponding subsidies, and the expenses of these officials are paid from various taxes in the local government, which does cause the income of the officials to be meager, Wang Shangshu also introduced, in a county, those officials with real power in their hands, all earn a lot of money, and the lowest officials are not doing well."

Hearing this, several people in the room looked at Wang Hou, all with meaningful smiles on their faces, Wang Hou was born as a criminal master, this is a fat nest that eats the plaintiff and eats the defendant.

Wang Hou smiled, his first pot of gold was not clean, and he never shy away from it.

"What if you're having a bad day? Everyone has the idea of living a good life, so naturally they have to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water. Qin Feng's face became heavy, "The suffocation was born from this." In the end, it is the ordinary people who are unlucky. So this time, taking advantage of the reform of the administration of officials, I want to include the officials in the official system, and the imperial court will pay them in a unified manner, and of course, they will also be included in the unified evaluation, so as to change this problem from the root. ”

Quan Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the imperial court's finances will not be able to bear it, and now it is not easy to dismiss a large number of officials who are messing around, but they have added several times the number of officials to come in, and the expenditure will not decrease but increase." ”

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "On the surface, it looks like this, but in the long run, it is worth it. There are many officials in the local government, and you don't pay salaries, but where does the income of these officials come from on weekdays, and it is not from the local finances to set up a nominal expenditure, but also give these people the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes, and include these people in the system, but it will effectively curb the chaos of local finances and make a mess of porridge more refreshing. ”

"The minister thinks that His Majesty's idea is feasible." Tian Zhen echoed loudly.

Quan Yun glared at him, this guy is His Majesty's echo worm. "Your Majesty, there are regulations on the salaries of officials, these officials have no grade or rank, how can they be positioned? What is the right salary? The hearts of the people are insufficient, but I am afraid that if we pay them salaries, they will still be greedy when they should be greedy. ”

"That's why I'm going to include officials in the bureaucratic system. There is no grade and no grade, we just set a no-no for them, it's not something to be embarrassed about. These officials, generally speaking, are extremely difficult to promote, and they are not extremely good personnel, otherwise it is very difficult to change from officials to officials, and we can use some other methods to compensate, so that they will not be in this position for a long time, and there is no hope of promotion, and their salaries will not rise and give birth to some different thoughts, so I thought of a way, that is, these officials, we can use the method of years to slowly increase their salaries. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Quan Yun didn't understand Qin Feng's thoughts.

"Shousuke, I think so, for example, a clerk, just started to work, and set a junior salary, a month's salary of five taels of silver, then after he worked for three or five years, there is no promotion, but he has a family, and local prices have also risen, this silver is inevitably not enough to live, what should I do? If the highest level of the clerk is the ninth level, then this official has been in this position for decades and has not been promoted, but he has been promoted to the highest position of the ninth level, and the salary he receives is higher than that of a county magistrate who has just taken office. ”

Listening to Qin Feng's words, Quan Yun only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, "Your Majesty, what about this financial resources?" ”

Qin Feng smiled: "Of course, in this way, the income of the clerk is indeed very high, so we have given you such a high salary, do you have to work hard?" The salary is high, will everyone compete for this position? The evaluation of the ministry is about to keep up, do a good job, continue to do it, if you don't do it well, please go home. In this way, will the efficiency be higher, the efficiency will be higher, and the number of personnel needed will be less? Wang Shangshu, the officials should do a survey to see how many officials are needed to get things done in a yamen. After doing our research, we approved the staffing of each yamen. ”

"I think that's a solution!" Wang Hou groaned.

"This matter, I'm just an idea now, everyone go back and think about it, and then write down your thoughts to me, a big article, of course, you have to brainstorm, Shoufu, go back and you and Su Kairong to calculate, if you do this, if there is any problem with the finances, let the household department also make an article and hand it in."

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is indeed a big article, so that the reform of the rule of officials has included Shaxu, Taipingcheng and other places. ”

"These places are not a problem, Shayang, Taiping and other places, originally the official staff are very simple, and the number of people is not large, and when there is a complete set of perfect methods, they will start to implement them in these places first, of course, taking this opportunity, it is also pushed out in Shunping County. I'm going to try it at both extremes. If both of these places work smoothly and well, there is no excuse for the others. Qin Feng took a deep breath.
