In the office, piles of leather gear are piled up, ranging from leather armor and belts to knee pads, wrist pads, and leather boots. Don't look at Qing'er, this girl is usually very naughty, but she is unambiguous when she gets down to business.

Ouyang Shuo picked up the equipment and checked them one by one. The Bison Boss fur was sewn into two pieces of leather armor and four belts, the Boar Boss fur was sewn into four sets of knee pads and wrist guards, and the Wolf Boss fur was sewn into four sets of leather boots. As for the fur of the wild dog boss, it is of little value and is sewn into four quivers by Qing'er.

There are a total of eighteen pieces of equipment, except for leather armor, the rest are silver-level equipment. Two pieces of leather armor, one is gold-level and the other is dark gold-level. Ouyang Shuo estimated that Qing'er should have broken through to the master tailor in one fell swoop with the help of this dark gold-level leather armor.

[Name]: Bull Guardian (Dark Gold Level)

[Type]: Leather armor

[Weight]: 3 kg

[Defense]: 60

[Toughness]: 65

[Maker]: Mu Qingsi (has the right to name equipment)

[Evaluation]: Mu Qingsi, a senior tailor, is sewn from bison BOSS leather with a quality of 9 points. The craftsmanship is exquisite, the design is reasonable, and the protection is excellent.

At this stage, high-end players have popularized black iron equipment, and occasionally there will be one or two pieces of silver equipment. As for the golden equipment, it is estimated that only the leaders of the top ten mercenary groups have one or two pieces, and they are still regarded as treasures.

And dark gold equipment, in the entire China region, will definitely not exceed five pieces, and it is basically monopolized by lord players. Even if it is Qing'er, if she tries again, she may not be able to sew dark gold-level leather armor again. There's a lot of luck involved.

Ouyang Shuo immediately changed out of the savage guard leather armor he was wearing and replaced it with this dark gold-level brute bull guard. Then put on a belt and knee pads. As for the bracers and leather boots, because they are both silver-level, they have not been replaced.

The rest of this equipment, he is ready to award to the infantry squadron. Because the weapon workshop is not yet equipped to build iron armor, the newly formed infantry squadrons are all light infantry. These leather armors are suitable for their use.

However, now is not the time to hand out rewards. One has not yet been officially transferred to infantry, and the other has not yet decided the leader of the infantry squadron, and it is not known who the award will be.

After dealing with the equipment, Ouyang Shuo stayed in the office and never went out again.

On the afternoon of the next day, the year-end evaluation of grassroots government personnel by the Ministry of Merit Examination finally yielded results.

In the mayor's office, Fan Zhongyan, Tian Wenjing and Cui Yingyu gathered again to listen to the report of the examination department on the year-end evaluation.

Fan Zhongyan got up, and after saluting Ouyang Shuo, he said: "This evaluation is mainly for grassroots government personnel. As for the chief officers of each department, they will be personally inspected by the chief and will no longer be within the scope of this evaluation. In addition, the Beihai Village and Public Security Division, because it has just been established, is no longer within the scope of this evaluation. Therefore, this evaluation is mainly aimed at the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Construction, and the Department of Household Registration under the Administration Bureau, the Department of Taxation, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Sihai Money under the Department of Finance, and the Department of Yantian, the Department of War Readiness, the Department of Materials, and the Department of Carriage and Horses under the Department of Material Reserves. ”

"This evaluation is mainly from two aspects: virtue and talent. There are three departments, eight departments and one directly subordinate organization, with a total of 64 grassroots administrative personnel. There are four people who are evaluated as excellent; There are 18 people who are evaluated as good; Thirty-nine people were qualified in the evaluation; There are three people who are evaluated as poor. ”

After listening to Fan Zhongyan's report, Ouyang Shuo's expression was solemn. It is not difficult to see from the results of the appraisal that the quality of grass-roots government personnel is generally low, with more than half of them only qualified, only four of them are excellent, and three of them are poor. This couldn't help but make him very angry, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is the one who is the poor?" ”

Among the three people, one is the supervisor of the construction department, named Zhao Si. According to the artisan's reaction, this person has a rough style, often insulting and even whipping the craftsman. One person is the shopkeeper of the butcher shop of the material division, called Sun Quan. According to the clerk, this person often takes the meat from the butcher shop home privately, and then makes up for the deficit by missing two catties. The last person was the manager of the granary of the material department, dereliction of duty, and the granary was plagued by rats, which was not discovered in time, causing thousands of units of grain to be damaged. Fan Zhongyan obviously came prepared, and the report was extremely detailed.

Ouyang Shuo's face was gloomy and he asked, "For these three, what is the opinion of the Gong Division?" ”

"The opinion of the meritorious examination department is to remove them from their positions and never hire them."

Ouyang Shuo obviously didn't want to let go of these moths so easily, and said sternly: "This kind of treatment is far from enough. I saw that I would send these three men to build the walls and moats free of charge, and only to take care of the three meals a day, when they were finished, and when the punishment was over, so as to set an example. ”

"There is such a moth in the department, and the chief officers of each department are also responsible for negligence. I decided to fine Zhao Dewang, director of the Construction Department, for two months, and Du Xiaolan, director of the Materials Department, for three months. In addition, I remember that the butcher shop manager was appointed by Zhao Youfang, the former deputy director of the Material Reserve Department. He will also be punished, and he will be punished severely. I have explained before that the shopkeeper must be cautious, and this still happens. I decided to punish Zhao Youfang for half a year, and at the same time remove him from the post of director of the War Readiness Department and demote him to deputy director. ”

Ouyang Shuo's thunderous means made the hearts of the three directors present tighten. It has not only increased the punishment for those who have failed in their duties, but also further investigated the responsibility of their superiors.

Tian Wenjing, director of the material reserves, was even more worried. Two of the three people who were dismissed this time belonged to the Material Reserve Administration, and they were even dismissed from the post of director of a department. As the director, he naturally has no way of absolving himself.

Tian Wenjing got up, bowed and saluted, and said loudly: "The Material Reserve Department has made such a mistake, and the subordinates are to blame, please punish the lord!" ”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "Director Tian, you have not been in office for a long time, and you were not there when those two were in office. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, and this time the main thing is to punish the culprits, and it is not appropriate to expand the scope of the crackdown. Of course, I also hope that after coming down, Director Tian will be able to rectify the rule of officials. Similar situations do not happen. ”

Tian Wenjing nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you for the lord's forgiveness, my subordinates must work hard to completely rectify the material reserve department, so as to live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Ouyang Shuo looked at Fan Zhongyan again and asked, "Who is the winner?" ”

Among the four people, one is a grassroots clerk in charge of water conservancy projects in the Department of Agriculture, named Sun Yannong. This person is deeply loved by the farmers, and leads everyone to build water conservancy, with both ability and political integrity. One person is the grassroots clerk in charge of planning in the Construction Department, named Hao Jiancheng. The city walls and moat works went so smoothly thanks to this man. One person is the clerk in charge of handling loans in Sihai Qianzhuang, named Yang Yun. Attentive service and careful service. The last person was hosted by Shiotan Division, called Shen Chai. This person has a superb business and has a deep understanding of salt drying technology. Fan Zhongyan's comments are really concise and to the point.

Ouyang Shuo's face slowed, and he said with a smile: "Okay, these outstanding talents should be reused." As I said a long time ago, those who have done the wrong will be punished, and those who have made meritorious deeds will be rewarded. I have decided to appoint Sun Yannong as deputy director of the Department of Agriculture, Hao Jiancheng as assistant director of the Department of Construction, Yang Yun as the head of the lobby of Sihai Qianzhuang, and Shen Chai as deputy director of the Yantian Department. ”

Fan Zhongyan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said stubbornly: "Lord, I admit that Sun Yannong and Shen Chai are very good, but the two levels of direct promotion to deputy director, isn't it a bit of a seedling?" The subordinates suggested that it would be more appropriate to appoint him as an assistant to the director first. ”

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "Since these young people are so good, they should be boldly promoted and build a broader governance platform for them." Of course, there are other considerations for such a rush to promote. Since you asked, I'll give you a brief explanation. ”

"Let's talk about the Yantian Division first, since the day it was established, there has not been a proper chief officer, first by me, then by you, then by you, and now by Yangon, all of them are concurrently held by a higher level of chief officials. This situation has been in place for a long time, which is not conducive to the development of the work of YANTIAN Division. Therefore, I decided to make Shen Chai a key training target for Shiota Division. At the right time, if he can carry the banner of Shiota Division, then I will not hesitate to promote him again. ”

"Besides, the Department of Agriculture, a huge department, is in charge of many affairs of agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry in the territory, and it is obviously a little difficult to rely on the director Zhao Dexian alone. Therefore, it is very necessary to appoint a deputy director. Not only these two divisions, but also other divisions, if there are outstanding talents, the three of you can recommend them to me at any time. With the continuous expansion of the territory, it is very necessary to increase the training of reserve talents in the territory. Giving newcomers more opportunities is to create more possibilities for the territory. ”

The three directors nodded, accepting Ouyang Shuo's explanation. The reason why Ouyang Shuo explained a large paragraph was naturally because he didn't want these three important ministers to have doubts. Many of his ideas are to be realized through them. If you can't communicate well, there will be deviations in the process of implementation, which he doesn't want to see.

After dealing with the evaluation, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

Cui Yingyu said with a smile: "Big brother, it looks like the New Year is coming, have you prepared any rewards?" Everyone has worked hard, but they are all looking forward to you, the lord, scattering their wealth. ”

Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "Okay, you have to reward it well." Well, I'll set a reward. The chief officer of each department shall follow the standard of 1 gold coin for the director, 80 silver coins for the deputy director, and 50 silver coins for the assistant director. Grass-roots government personnel, the evaluation of the excellent will be rewarded with 1 gold coin, the evaluation of the good will be rewarded with 30 silver coins, and the evaluation of qualified will be rewarded with 10 silver coins. The Financial Services Department is responsible for the statistics, and after the statistics are completed, come to me to collect the money. ”

"What about the three of us?" Yingyu then asked.

"Naturally, you can't reward you with the smell of copper. Don't worry, I've prepared the rewards separately. As for what it is, we'll wait until tomorrow to find out. Ouyang Shuo quipped.
