Chapter 893: Gaining Maximum Support in Exchange for Benefits
(Girls' Literature) Chapter 893
"Okay, great, in this way, what else can I worry about, the old man will send a letter to my good brother He Manning for decades in a while, I believe that he knows these news, and he will definitely stand on His Highness's side."
"General Shi, who is this He Manning?" Duan Shaojun couldn't help but ask curiously. When he heard that this He Manning was the Liaozhou Jiedu envoy who was sitting in the northeast and had tens of thousands of troops, the joy in Duan Shaojun's heart became more and more intense.
This He Manning and General Shi are not only old comrades-in-arms, but also have a lifelong friendship, and the two are now a good family, the son of General Shi is married to He Manning's beloved daughter, such a relationship, presumably General Shi's opinion He Manning will think about it carefully.
After Duan Shaojun left Zuo Yu's Lin Wei camp satisfied, he rushed back to the Yunzhou Thorn History Mansion, summoned those officials, and used the same way to bewitch and induce them to quickly call friends to support and support Li Youwen to become the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, after Duan Shaojun once again took out 100,000 taels of silver tickets out of his own pocket, he viciously threatened these civil officials who were not good birds in the first place, compared to those military generals who went straight to the ground, it was much more difficult to deal with these civilian officials.
However, Duan Shaojun's vicious methods, these officials of Yunzhou who govern the people, have been ruthlessly taught several times, especially since Duan was in charge of Yunzhou's government affairs, every official was actually thrown into the dungeon of the princess's mansion by Duan Shaojun for three days.
According to someone Duan's words, it is better to let you experience life in advance than to go in again if you commit a crime in the future, so that before you really want to commit a crime, think about it carefully, and then do it, whether it is worth it or not.
Who the fuck wants to go in with these officials? But the problem is that Duan Dagongzi, as a henchman of Li Youwen, the actual supreme ruler of Yunzhou, is now in charge of the authority of Yunzhou, even if he is unwilling, he will be sent by Duan to send these unlucky ghosts to stay in prison for three days.
Nibbling on the moldy nest head, drinking the gruel that was clear to the bottom and the leaves were already yellowing, listening to the cries and howls of the felons who had been imprisoned before, looking at the toilet in his room that no one would clean for three days, and the bed full of fleas and bad smell.
Make these officials feel as if they are in hell. Although it was only a short three days, the first thing that every official who had experienced the three-day tour of the prison did after crawling out of the prison was to shed tears and breathe in the fresh, no longer smelly air of feces and urine, as if the whole person had been purified and sublimated.
And when they dragged their bodies full of tinkling bags, returned home, washed well, and returned to work, they were indeed far more cautious than in the past whenever it was profitable. Mu has a way, and those nightmarish experiences of three days and three nights are enough to become a nightmare for them in this life.
And of course Duan Shaojun won't just play a big stick, sweet dates are naturally there, what are sweet dates? Sweet jujube is the top three officials in the assessment, or get the opportunity to climb up, even if there is no position above, then, at least you will be moved to a first-order official position, so that the next time there is a position, an official like you can be considered excellently.
This approach is similar to the civil service structure in later generations, for example, you have reached the administrative level of the section level, but now there are people in the position of section chief, what should you do? Simple, you are given the same treatment as the section chief, however, you do not have the right to be the section chief, of course, if the position of the section chief is vacant, you have priority to compete.
The other is the last elimination system, which is similar to this, the officials of the entire Yunzhou, without involving professional crimes or other faults, the performance of the last three officials, although they can still stay in their own jobs for another year, but their administrative level will decline, that is to say, the county order of the seventh grade will become from the seventh grade, and the second year is not qualified, that is, from the seventh grade reads();.
If you fail to pass for three consecutive years, I'm sorry, laid-off boy, go home and sell sweet potatoes, other gods, don't even think about it, naturally there will be no chance to do it again.
For Duan Shaojun's new policy of officials, the officials in Yunzhou are really very dissatisfied, especially those officials who want to support prostitutes and drink every day, and then call it inaction.
Another group of officials strongly expressed their support for this new policy, if nothing else, although there are almost no officials who are not greedy, but there is no lack of self-motivation, and these people are also very clear that if they want to take the position under normal circumstances, there is only one point, that is, to boil up qualifications, even if you do well, as long as there is no one above you, it is also blind. can only obediently stay up enough time to move a small step.
But Duan Shaojun's approach is to break the convention, as long as you are good enough, after three years, you can rely on your true skills to go to a higher level and embark on more important jobs.
As for those who oppose it, even if they complain, at most they are crooked in private, and they still have to do what they should do.
Therefore, as long as Duan Shaojun gave him a task, these officials who had already become obedient and obedient would naturally do their best to do it when they heard that it was beneficial. These cultural people's desire for power is even far stronger than that of the soldiers, and they have told Duan Shaojun that they must not be afraid of difficulties and work hard and simply to complete the important affairs entrusted by Duan Dabie.
After Duan Shaojun, who had not rested since last night, returned to the house, his eyes were already dazzled, his legs were weak, and he fell asleep without even eating dinner, so he had to wait in the mansion, and Chu Chu Meizi and others, who wanted Duan Shaojun to tell them about His Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang's current thoughts, had to watch him sleep helplessly.
The sky had just been polished, and Duan Shaojun had to get up quickly in the urging of Qi Da, because there was another official business, Duan Shaojun was extremely angry and complained, but he also had to fight up and wash his spirit to deal with official business, who made him now the chief official who represented the history of Yunzhou and the governor of Yunzhou, Sima and many other positions.
Duan Shaojun, who was tired of becoming a dog, continued to work hard, kept handling official business, inquired about the autumn harvest, and had to assign personnel to summarize it, and in addition, he had to strictly guard the salt pond located in the north of Yunzhou City.
This salt pool, as early as after hearing that the Son of Heaven had an accident in Youxian Palace, under the strong request of Duan Shaojun, Li Youwen had already attributed the salt pool to the Yunzhou Thorn History, that is, the hands of Duan Dagongzi.
Don't look at this small salt pond, the lot of wealth it brings is only second, the most important thing is that since the appearance of this salt pond, the salt of several states and counties around Yunzhou has no longer been transferred from the south, but directly supplied by this Yunzhou salt pond.
Not only the salt used by the army, but also the salt used by the common people comes from this. It can be said that Yunzhou has suddenly changed from the position of chicken ribs in the past to the most important key state and county in the northeast of the Tang Empire.
The surrounding states and counties want to eat salt, so they can only look at Yunzhou, and those thorn history and festival envoys have also expressed enough goodwill to Li Youwen, naturally hoping that Li Youwen can meet their salt needs with quality and quantity.
And Duan Shaojun didn't think about using the refined salt produced in this salt pond as a bargaining chip at first, but this idea was only fleeting, and Duan Shaojun took the initiative to give up. After all, salt is a necessary demand for the production and life of the broad masses of the people, and if you use this thing to threaten others, what is the difference between your own actions and Zhao Linfu and others?
However, after thinking about it many times, Duan Shaojun decided to take an unprecedented money offensive. Unlike spending money to persuade those civil and military officers to wear and robes together, what Duan Shaojun wants to do is completely different from that kind of petty fight.
"Shhh...... I said, I said Shaojun Xian, are you crazy? What are you doing here, do you know that the budget you made before, just to repair, widen and partially excavate the new road south of Yunzhou, it will cost no less than 100,000 taels of silver, and what you have to do now is actually want to connect the counties of many surrounding states in the same way, do you know how much it will cost? ”
