Regarding Xu Ping's stubbornness to strengthen Shaanxi's ability to transport grain and grass, the ministers in the palace did not think so, and even Han Zong's father, Han Yi, did not support it.

Shaanxi has been at peace for decades, and it is impossible to make a big move because of a little friction. Moreover, now that the deployment of guarding against the northern Khitan has been completed, and there are many implications when it is moved, which minister is willing to do it.

In the end, it was Xu Ping's face that he made a compromise, and Han Zong, the judge of the salt and iron department, was the judge of the Shaanxi Transshipment Division, who was specifically responsible for the grain transportation system of the army along the border states, and everything else remained unchanged. Han Zong's responsibilities were restricted, and he did not participate in the routine inspection and inspection of the prefectures and counties of the Lulu Division, and was only responsible for the transfer of grain and grass.

Generally, the transfer judge requires those who have served as governors or general judges with political achievements, and Shaanxi Road has higher requirements. Although Han Zong was once appointed as the general judge of Yongzhou, he did not arrive, and his seniority was not compatible, and Xu Ping reluctantly agreed to do his best to protect the Zhongshu.

This kind of guarantee is not just talking, there is clear joint and several responsibility, if Han Zong has an accident in office, Xu Ping will also be punished by one level. Not particularly trusted people, officials rarely do this kind of patron.

Although Han Yi disagreed that his son had just returned from Lingnan and went to Shaanxi not long after, he was still grateful to Xu Ping for his trust in Han Zong.

Xu Ping was very serious about this matter, but it was just a trivial matter in the hearts of the rest of the palace, and after agreeing to Xu Ping's proposal to reappoint Liu Xin as the judge of salt and iron, he sent him out and continued the discussion.

Out of the Great Interior, Xu Ping returned to the outside of the editing office at the front of the imperial city, looked at the slanting sun in the west and exhaled deeply, and a sense of loss came to his heart.

Busy and busy, I always think that I am doing something great for this era, but in fact, in the hearts of others, it may be just watching a young person's nonsense on the road of growth, perfunctory on the lips, and not taking it very seriously in their hearts.

The gap between the court and the family, the old and the new, is always everywhere.

Just like the day before yesterday, Panpan planted a plum tree in front of his house, a small sapling, and pulled Xu Ping to water and cultivate the soil very seriously. She babbled and told her father when the little tree would grow leaves, that it would bloom in a few years, that it would bear fruit in a few years, and that the whole family would not be able to eat all the fruit in a few years.

Xu Ping was also so casually perfunctory, only playing as a child in his heart, and never thought that he could eat the fruit of this tree. It's just to coax the child, it doesn't matter if he bears fruit or not, it's just to change his happiness for a while.

Panpan also held the little tree to look at the sunset, I don't know if she has such a sense of loss in her heart, I don't know if she firmly believed that the little tree she planted at that time would grow and would really bear the fruit of a tree.

Xu Ping believes that Han Zong's trip to Shaanxi this time must not be in vain, and he will definitely reflect his value in a few years.

In the chief hall of the Salt and Iron Division, Xu Ping looked at Han Zong, who was standing in front of him, and said with a serious face: "This time I transferred you to Shaanxi Road to transfer the envoy, I insisted repeatedly, and the ministers of the DPRK and China did not care. I was originally in Yongzhou for a few years, and I just returned to the capital as an official not long ago, and it was a little unkind to transfer you out again. However, I estimate that in a few years, the party project in the northwest will be reversed, and if you have actual achievements in the past few years, the future will be limitless. Now we are all still young, and it is better to work hard for a few years than to be transferred back and forth in local states and counties after a few decades, don't blame me. ”

Han Zong smiled bitterly in his heart, this has already been decided, and the next day, the edict of Zhongshu has come down, what else is strange or not. After following Xu Ping for a few years, Han Zong knew that Xu Ping was a person who was immersed in things, and he didn't have the mind to rectify himself, according to his experience in Yongzhou, he was afraid that Xu Ping was not a guess. If Xu Ping is right, it is indeed an opportunity for him to accumulate political achievements.

Arching his hand to Xu Ping, Han Zong said: "I haven't been with the deputy envoy for a day or two, so I naturally know that the deputy envoy is not a person who talks a lot." Since it has been decided that I will go to Shaanxi, I will not shirk, try my best to do things well, and do not lose the face of the deputy envoy. And now the Shaanxi transshipment envoy is my relative, and he is also easy to do. ”

At this time, the Shaanxi transfer envoy was Su Qi of Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry, and like Han Yi, he was the son-in-law of Prime Minister Wang Dan. According to the convention, this relationship is to avoid suspicion, but Han Zong is Xu Ping's guarantee, and the responsibility is on him, so he can take up the post.

Xu Ping nodded: "There may be less constraints if you have connections, but there are still no available people under your hands." It won't be long before the bridge and road troops in Yongzhou enter Beijing, and then they will be transferred to Shaanxi to be a commander, which will be a foil for you. ”

Han Zong nodded in agreement. The two discussed some specific matters and agreed to let Han Zong write regularly, and Xu Ping would find a way to solve some difficulties in Beijing. The three divisions are in charge of finance, and as long as they have a heart, they can be of great help to the transshipment.

Shaanxi, Hedong and Hebei three roads along the border, the transfer envoy can take the pass to the post, has the right to directly do things. However, most of the affairs are in the hands of the three divisions, and some of the supervision and personnel powers are also in the three divisions.

On the morning of the 29th, Han Yi once again asked for the elimination of redundant officials in the three divisions. In the end, it was decided that in early February, the Academy and the Imperial Historical Observatory would organize an examination for the three officials, and the unqualified officials would be eliminated from the three divisions according to the results.

Naturally, the examinations of the officials could not be compared with the imperial examinations, nor with the examinations of the academies, and they mainly wrote the regulations according to the requirements to evaluate the number of grades. The examiner then interviews and deals with some of the given cases in person, and the two combine to decide whether to stay or depose the official

The identities of officials and officials are very different, and the requirements are also different. What is required of officials is to act in accordance with regulations and routines, and cannot play on their own. Officials, on the other hand, are required to be able to deal with them randomly, not by convention.

To put it simply, the incompetence of public officials is merit, and the ineffectiveness of officials is fault.

Of course, this is all theoretical, and this cannot be the case in practice. In particular, the method of grinding and surveying is becoming more and more rigorous, and the evaluation method of public officials is also more and more inclined to the middle and lower levels, and the lower the level, the more difficult it is to distinguish between officials.

In the evening, the restaurant by the Bianhe River was crowded with people and making a lot of noise.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Taishi, we are all from our ancestors for generations to eat this bowl of rice, and those officials don't know the fireworks in the world, and they will put the blame on us at every turn." It is really unreasonable for us officials to take less money than craftsmen to do their work, but to bear the responsibilities of officials. That's it, it's still up to us to see if we don't like it, and we have to lay off redundant personnel at every turn. How many times are those officials and men as ours, why don't you lay them off! ”

"That's it, that's it! How can we feed our families if we go on like this! Master, you must come up with an idea! ”

Taishi Liu sat on the main seat, with a calm face and did not say a word.

Since the turn of the year, things have not gone well. Changing the tea method was originally an opportunity for everyone to make a fortune, but as a result, a lot of old money was smashed in their hands, occupying the cash, and many businesses were not working.

I didn't expect this to be counted, not waiting for the first month, and cutting the redundant officials of the three divisions.

What is Redundancy? A few of those officials knew what these officials did on a daily basis! It's nothing more than the number of officials in previous years, and if there are more than the number of officials, there are redundant officials, and no one has done it, do they still care!

If you don't let go of some means this time, this life will really be unbearable.

Those officials are high, eating and drinking spicy food, thinking what they want, and really thinking that there is no way to cure them. (To be continued.) )
