The days went by like this, and before I knew it, it was the middle of February. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

During this time, Xu Ping basically did not return to the mansion outside the city, but just rested in the small courtyard in the city. He was busy in the editing office every day, and he didn't have the energy to run inside and outside the city.

Lin Suniang will take Panpan to live in the city for a day every few days, take a look at Xu Ping, and by the way, give Xu Ping a conditioning condition.

Li Jing passed the provincial examination and nested in the small courtyard every day to prepare for the palace examination. According to Xu Ping's suggestion, he no longer read poetry books for the rest of the day, but concentrated on studying the real questions of the imperial examination since the Tang Dynasty, plus several books that were recognized as high-quality for the imperial examination. Comment on the poems that have been handed down, where they are good and where they are bad, and write them down in detail. Occasionally, Xu Ping would help him take a look when he had free time, and he himself often consulted the staff of the editing institute who came to Xu Ping's house for dinner. Most of the people in the editing institute are Jinshi Gaodi, and there are several champions and the like, and their opinions are often to the point.

The most leisurely is Xu Zheng, after Xu Ping's position in the capital was stabilized, and the title also reached the county marquis, Xu Zheng's circle of contacts was a big step up from before. In addition, Li Yonghe's family is the hottest relative, and he himself broke the case of the three officials a few days ago, fell into Yao County, and became a regular assassin, and his old friend Xu Zheng followed the rising tide.

As soon as he entered February, Xu Zheng began to run his own small circle, and gathered a group of idle and powerful officials like him in the capital, saying that he wanted to set up a poetry club. The poetry club of this era is somewhat similar to the club in Xu Ping's previous life, that is, a group of people with similar status and status, who get together to eat, drink and have fun when they are idle. The poems of the real poetry society can be passed on to future generations, but there are very few, most of them are just games for the occasion, and their literary and ideological qualities are relatively poor.

The Xu family is rich now, Xu Zheng is also old, and Xu Ping supports his father to enjoy life. The most important thing in the capital is the rich and noble idlers, Xu Zheng is integrated into that circle, and it is always stronger than looking for a presence in the morning and looking for a dark place. The Xu family has the best wine in the capital, endless spare money, and a place to play outside the city, so you can go crazy with Xu Zheng.

On 19 February, Xu Ping finally finished reviewing the first draft of the new regulations, and his body and mind were relaxed.

The first draft only includes the preliminary regulations of the three divisions, and the follow-up will add a table of statistical analysis of data, as well as documents that can be reported to the higher authorities and other yamen, and will be completed in three parts, and all of them will be completed by the middle of the year.

With the first draft of the new regulations, the teaching materials for the training of public officials are available, and the urgent need has been solved. Originally, the follow-up content was not required to be mastered by all public officials, as long as senior officials and officials could use it.

The sun is shining outside the window, and it is warm and not unpleasantly hot. The willows have become verdant and the colorful flowers have bloomed, and it is the best time of the year. The other officials of the yamen were busy calling friends and enjoying the flowers, but only the editing office was busy in the dark, and Xu Ping also felt that he couldn't go, thinking about compensating them well.

While Xu Ping was sitting in his seat and thinking nonsense, Liu Xin came in from outside and saluted Xu Parallel: "Deputy envoy, are you free now?" My subordinates have something to tell you. ”

Xu Ping saw that Liu Xin was serious, and hurriedly asked him to sit down: "If you have something to say, even if you have something to say, it just so happens that I have nothing to do now." ”

Liu Xin sat down at the bottom and was silent for a while before he said: "Deputy envoy, my subordinates have not told you recently, and they have done something without authorization, so don't go to your heart." ”

Liu Xin is very different from Han Zong. To put it simply, in terms of the ability to do things alone, he is stronger than Han Zong. But Liu Xin has a stronger independence, and often takes his own ideas to do things that are beyond Xu Ping's wishes. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, in the end he is just Xu Ping's subordinate, not a minion, and he should have his own ideas. However, some things often have unexpected consequences, which caught Xu Ping off guard.

Seeing that Xu Ping didn't speak, Liu Xin said again: "Recently, there are hundreds of public officials transferred from the lower prefectures and counties in the editing office, plus the newly recruited people in the capital. The subordinate was afraid that they would cause trouble, so he found a few reliable ones to do eyeliner and reported the movements of these hundreds of people to me in time——"

"So you found out, they're going to have an accident again?"

Xu Ping was a little helpless, Liu Xin's use of spies to spy on his subordinates and the officials around him had almost become an instinct, and now he was in charge of the military case in his hands, which was more convenient. Xu Ping is not ignorant of the importance of intelligence, but at this time, the officialdom lacks a mechanism for handling intelligence, and once spies are used to spy on the situation, it is easy to create a situation where everyone is in danger.

First, the spies used are uneven, and it is difficult for you to know how much of the information you get is true and how much is false, and whether these spies will blackmail people's privacy. Then, after the intelligence is collected, it cannot be analyzed and verified, nor can it be kept secret, and in fact, the positive meaning of intelligence collection is completely lost.

Xu Ping would rather use the system on the surface to achieve his goal than spy on the surface, this is the reason. Intelligence work, especially internal intelligence work, requires the entire system to be matched, and once the system fails, intelligence spying will become a cancer of the entire mechanism. However, Xu Ping did not prohibit Liu Xin from doing this, but was just careful not to have a negative effect on his actions.

Seeing that Xu Ping's face was not good, Liu Xin stubbornly said: "Yes, Xiaguan has found some bad things." ”

"Tell me, what are they?"

"Since the public officials began to listen to the officials of various departments talk about the regulations of the three departments, some officials have deliberately encircled these public officials. Of course, most officials just want to be able to pick capable people to join the department after a while, but there are some motivations that are not so simple. ”

Seeing that Xu Ping had no expression on his face, Liu Xin continued: "Especially the opening of the division of Lu Gongxuan, he was the first to preach to the officials, and it was very embarrassing that no one answered the questions after class. There was a Confucius from Tangzhou, named Chen Zhengping, who took the initiative to stand up and answer, rounding the scene. ”

"Isn't that great?" Xu Pingping said expressionlessly.

"Well, that's a good thing. After this incident, Chen Zhengping once took the initiative to find Lu Gongqiu, and since then, the two have been in close contact, which is completely beyond the normal level of interaction between officials and officials. Also, that Chen Zhengping suddenly became active at hand, and often invited the officials around him to eat, drink and play, and now he is very popular with the little officials. ”

Hearing this, where did Xu Ping not know what Liu Xin meant? Leaning back in his chair, he didn't speak for a long time.

Liu Xin was a little anxious, and leaned forward and said, "Deputy envoy, the lesson of that Taishi Liu's disaster is not far away!" ”

Xu Ping nodded: "I understand, I understand what you mean." But what do you want me to do? Return that Chen Zhengping to Tangzhou? Or is it just delisted? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping shook his head: "This is not the solution to the problem. After a Chen Zhengping, as long as they have a heart, they will naturally find another Li Zhengping, what's the use? If you want to find someone, you can always find someone! ”

"Are we just sitting idly by? So why bother! ”

"Of course not, we people get up early and are greedy and have done so many things, if everything is still the same, even if you don't blame me, I myself will not be happy. ――Rush, what should you do to make these officials do things in a proper manner? ”

"Naturally, there should be clear rewards and punishments, especially for those black sheep, we must not tolerate and nurture traitors, and we must clean them up immediately! The so-called embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, and if it lasts for a while, there will be a catastrophe in the future! ”

Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, to deal with ulcering abscesses, you must be decisive in your mind and strict in your means, which is indeed right." However, the so-called rewards and punishments are clear, and the first important thing is the reward, and the punishment is equal to the next. If you reward once as long as the consistent money, then you are not willing to give up the consistent money, then the loss will be far more than 100. ”

Seeing that Liu Xin was a little disapproving, Xu Ping said again: "People, especially those in top positions, always feel that thunder means can show their majesty, and they tend to be mean and unkind. It is not advisable to reward excessively, but it is even more harmful to reward without reward. Just like you said about this Chen Zhengping, if I guess well, aside from his clinging to the powerful, all aspects should be good among the public officials at the same time, am I right or not? ”

Liu Xin nodded: "The deputy envoy is right, he learns quickly, remembers well, and is indeed better than others." ”

"Attaching to the powerful also has to have their own skills, which capable person likes to let a fool follow him. Then again, I'm not afraid that he will cling to the powerful, as long as we insist on merit here, we will be rewarded, and we will be out of the public, are we still afraid that he will make trouble? ”

Liu Xin still didn't understand, and after listening to Xu Ping's words, he sat there a little deflated.

Xu Ping said again: "These officials, if there is another month, it should be distributed to the yamen." You let the military case come up with a regulation, how to reward those who learn well, list the name and article, and publish the list. Remember, the most important of these is that for those particularly prominent public officials, you can make an exception and transfer officials early. After it is drafted, it will be submitted to the letter, and the letter will be issued if it agrees. ”

Liu Xin finally understood what Xu Ping meant, and asked in a low voice, "What does the deputy envoy mean—"

"Grace out of the public, don't be used by people with a heart to use the state and the city for personal favor. If he does a good job, the three divisions will promote rewards according to the regulations, and there is no need for others to intercede. After being promoted, it will naturally be important, and people will make the best use of their talents! ”

Xu Ping said that the important Liang'an was very important, and Liu Xin understood it in his heart.

If you attract people, you will naturally be arranged to a position that is beneficial to you. But fundamentally speaking, the use of human rights is still in the hands of the relevant yamen, and it is good to transfer people from those positions. Let the relationship between the two sides be neglected for a few years, and it will naturally fade, will the Prime Minister's Mansion still be with a small official for a lifetime?

Lu Yijian was able to control many yamen, that is, there were many officials who scolded him, and once he ignored it, his power naturally fell quickly. He really has a great ability to cover the sky with one hand. (To be continued.) )
