Chapter 907: Conditions for Promotion

"Virtuous son-in-law, come down carefully!" When Li Shimin heard that Xia Hongsheng suddenly had a way, he was overjoyed, and immediately sat up straight and said to Xia Hongsheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Son-in-law obeys!" Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Father-in-law, what the brother-in-law said is mainly two things. First, it is called temporary training. Second, it is said that grassroots work experience. These two things are actually the same thing, but one is the method and the other is the purpose. One is a measure and the other is a regulation. ā€

Li Shimin heard a new term from Xia Hongsheng's mouth again, so he asked: "I can guess this grassroots work experience, I think I should have had the experience of doing things for officials at the grassroots level, right?" ā€

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "My father-in-law is right, the so-called grassroots work experience is the experience of working at the county level and in the imperial court institutions below the county level. Including county orders, county orders, master books, county party committees...... Even the yamen servants, Li Zheng and the like. That is to say, there is experience in working at the lowest level of the court that can directly contact the people, go directly to the people, directly deal with the affairs of the people, and deal with the people. Grassroots work experience is too important. There are a lot of things to do in the people. Only by understanding the actual situation at the grassroots level, getting close to the people, strengthening the people's concept and feelings of the court officials, and strengthening the flesh-and-blood ties between the court and the people, can the officials govern the people and benefit the people in a targeted manner. And for the benefit of the people, with the people have feelings, the people will naturally be convinced of these officials, the court, and will be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the court, loyal to Your Majesty. ā€

"What the virtuous son-in-law said is good!" Li Shimin nodded and said: "The sage Mencius has a cloud: there is a way to win the world, to win the people, and to win the world; Win the people have the way, win their hearts, and win the people; Get his heart and have a way, gather with it as much as he wants, and don't do anything evil! If the courtiers have never been in contact with the people and have never penetrated into the people, how can they know what they want and what they are evil? How can you win their hearts? If it is unpopular with the people, how can it make the world stable for a long time? ā€

"What my father-in-law said is very true! Also, father-in-law, you must know. Among these courtiers, there are also some written and unwritten rules. Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin: "Let's talk about the imperial examination, if a scholar wants to enter the court as an official, he must go through the imperial examination, and only after the first can he be considered qualified to seek an official position." The law is express, so it is a written rule. There is also the interpretation of the Ministry of Ministers, only those who have passed the interpretation of the Ministry of Officials, and the Jinshi or the Ming Scripture can be assigned official positions, which is also a rule of the imperial court, so it is also a written rule. Candidates who can enter the Scholars Department mostly record their poems and essays into a volume before the Ministry of Rites Examination and submit them to the examiner or a person of status to express themselves and strive for their recommendation. If it is appreciated and recommended, the probability of the exam and the first is much greater, this is not the express rule of the imperial court, but the students who enter the Shike must invest in the paper every time they take the exam, and those who seek high positions will be recommended, and they will be promoted in the future, and they will be much faster. And that's always been the case. That's the unwritten rule. Your Majesty, the promotion of courtiers nowadays, from the imperial examination, or recommendation, or meritorious, or shadowy, to the assignment of official positions, and then to the promotion of official positions, there are all restrictions on these conditions. The imperial examination is a condition, the recommendation of high-ranking officials is a condition, and it is a condition to obtain merit after taking office, and it is a condition for someone to promote in the court. When these conditions are met one by one, the official will be promoted. The more conditions you meet, the better your chances of promotion. Therefore, the imperial court can completely supplement the grassroots work experience to these conditions. That is, in the future, whenever an official is promoted, he must have experience in grassroots work, otherwise he cannot be promoted. ā€

"All officials must have experience in grassroots work to be promoted, otherwise they cannot be promoted...... Li Shimin groaned, thought for a while, and then said to Xia Hongsheng: "This is a good way to ensure that the officials of the DPRK and China will not lack the experience of contact with the people. If there is such an order in the court, then if any official wants to be promoted, even if the court does not arrange it, he should try to ask for those grassroots to take up his post. ā€

"Yes, father-in-law!" Xia Hongsheng said: "There is no need to worry that once this regulation is in place, the officials will crowd to the grassroots level. Those who do not have grassroots work experience should go to the grassroots level to make up for the experience. Those who already have work experience are promoted to the state, province, or even the central government. There is no shortage of officials from top to bottom. Now, now that the high-ranking officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee have been decided, it is not good to ask them to go to the grassroots level. We can start with the newly promoted imperial examinations and those who have passed the imperial examinations, and directly confer these imperial examinations and firsts to the grassroots level, so that they can directly obtain grassroots work experience, and after they are promoted in the future, they will have new imperial examinations and firsters to supplement the localities. ā€

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, it's a good way!" In this way, in the future, the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee will all have done things at the grassroots level, and they will all have direct contact with the people and go deep into the affairs of the people. It will be possible to avoid the government not knowing the people. Good! That's a good idea! Officials don't know the people, how to govern the people? However, there is a problem. ā€

Xia Hongsheng looked at Li Shimin, heard Li Shimin frown, and said: "Those who enter the government in the shadow, their ancestors have meritorious service to the country, and their descendants can inherit their thrones. This is what our ancestors bought in exchange for merit. If it is conferred to the grassroots level, wouldn't it be chilling? For example, if I ask his son to be a county lieutenant, not only will I not be able to live with his contribution to the Tang Dynasty, but others will also be chilled when they see it. There are some people who have been recommended by Ling, and they do have real talents and learning, but they deliberately let him do the county order and the like, isn't it a waste of talent? ā€

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "This involves the other word that the son-in-law said." ā€

"Temporary workout?" Li Shimin has a good memory, and after listening to it once, although he didn't understand the meaning of the matter, he remembered it.

"Not bad. It's a temporary exercise. Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "The so-called temporary training is that the upper level selects some public service personnel, retains their current status and rank, and sends them to the lower level of the official office to hold a certain position for a period of time, to study and exercise, and accumulate experience. ā€

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes immediately froze, he thought for a while, and said: "What the virtuous son-in-law means is that a group of people will be selected from the court, so that he still has the current official rank, and he is still only an official now, but he will be sent to the grassroots level to do things for a period of time, and then recall."
