As soon as this new system was implemented, officials in various ministries were frightened, especially those who had not made political achievements for many years, but before they could figure out how to deal with it, the new evaluation system began to be implemented.

All over the country, but all officials above the seventh grade have to undergo a new assessment.

Those whose performance is not up to standard should be immediately dismissed from their posts instead of being demoted.

That's too ruthless!

A lot of officials say it in private.

But Shen Xizhen understands very well that if you want to truly appoint people on the basis of merit, you must start from the source, so you must evaluate talents at all levels in strict accordance with the standards, and only in this way can those who have talents get the corresponding space to display.

However, because of the ruthlessness of this policy, many people who are not capable of doing so have to be hit hard -- they must re-examine their careers.

There are two paths in front of them - either to take the assessment again and find a position based on their own ability, or to go to the sea to do business.

This is also Shen Xizhen's original intention - let them realize the importance of each position, and not neglect their duties lightly or abuse the numbers.

After half a month, a bunch of incompetent people have been swept out of various important departments.

Then, the dismissed officials got together again and had a relationship.

Soon a letter was written to Emperor Guang'en, saying that the new system was too impersonal, and that it had left many families of dismissed officials facing the dilemma of not having enough rice to cook.

Shen Xizhen immediately convened a meeting of the ministers on this matter with Emperor Guangen.

"Can't a person who has been dismissed because of his incompetence hold the state accountable? However, out of benevolence, individual families in very difficult circumstances can receive a three-month subsidy at their discretion. But it also has to be determined by the guò assessment. In addition, don't extend too much ambiguity in this matter, and it is the best policy to quickly improve your ability. Shen Xizhen said concisely.

Hearing this, all the ministers looked ashamed. I don't know how to refute it.

Emperor Guangen continued: "There is a gap between the contrasts, many officials have been in their original positions for too long and even have rigid thinking, and they can't evaluate themselves correctly, so this system will be a good sobering agent, and I hope that all the officials under my rule will speak with strength." ”

The ministers nodded one after another.

This concludes the meeting.

After the ministers left, Shen Xizhen handed Emperor Guangen a cup of hot tea.

"Queen, you're doing a great job. I feel happy when I think about it now. ”

"It's good that the emperor is happy." Shen Xizhen replied while taking a few sips of tea.

Immediately, Shen Xizhen suddenly put down the teacup as if he thought of something, looked at Emperor Guangen and said, "Your Majesty." The concubine thought of a solution to the public's difficulty in finding jobs. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Guangen also immediately put down the teacup.

"We can set up a 'talent exchange office' in each city, which is managed by the Ministry of Officials, and is dedicated to talent and recruitment departments from all walks of life, so that anyone with a skill can come here to submit personal information and pay a small fee. Then the staff of the exchange office will help them contact the relevant positions......" Shen Xizhen said.

Before Shen Xizhen finished speaking. Emperor Guangen clapped his hands and applauded: "This plan is wonderful! It's worth a try. ”

Then he smiled and asked Shen Xizhen: "How did the queen come up with this method?" ”

"I thought about it, I thought about it, I guess I hit it by mistake." Shen Xizhen replied modestly.

In fact, it is the inspiration she has gained from the modern 'talent market'.

"Very well, I will do my best to carry this plan forward." Emperor Guangen said with a smile, looking at her with admiration in his eyes.

Being looked at by him so lovingly, Shen Xizhen also felt that her whole person was bathed in happiness, she smiled and walked towards him, gently hugging his neck.

As soon as the plan of the 'Talent Exchange Office' was implemented, it immediately attracted the cheers of the people - now there is no need to worry about finding a job, as long as you have a skill. As long as you are willing to do it, you can find a place to use.

Emperor Guangen was also very pleased—this was the Xi Kingdom he wanted! Everyone can do their part and support themselves. When the life of each family improves, the standard of inhabitants of the whole country gradually increases.

That's nice!

He held Shen Xizhen's hand and smiled with satisfaction.

It's a blessing to have such a virtuous queen!

At night, he hugged Shen Xizhen in his arms and said softly: "Queen, how about playing a song for me every day from tomorrow?" Or maybe we play in an ensemble. ”

The country is so big, and there are so many things to deal with every day, although he is young, he will also feel tired. If you can listen to her play the piano every day, the fatigue of that day will be gone.

"Okay, the two of us are so superb at the piano, we won't play all the Zichen Palace, right?" Shen Xizhen said jokingly.

"Go, go, the piano is naturally controlled by us in our hands, what are you afraid of?" Emperor Guangen scratched her nose and said.

"Well, okay, as long as the emperor likes to listen to it, the concubine will play it for you every day." Shen Xizhen leaned against his chest and said.

Emperor Guangen couldn't help but hug her tightly.

Sure enough, from the next day, every afternoon, there would be a moving sound of the piano in the Zichen Palace, sometimes played by one person, sometimes by two people. The piano skills are extremely high, so that the palace maids, eunuchs and others who are lucky enough to pass by and hear it are all secretly amazed, and they can't help but stop and appreciate it carefully.

Since he had the habit of listening to three songs every afternoon, Emperor Guangen's daily efficiency in dealing with court affairs has not only not decreased, but has become higher.

Everyone was secretly amazed.

The emperor is really a virtuous and capable king that is rare to see in the ages!

But the actual situation is that because he thinks every day that he can go back to Zichen Hall early to listen to Shen Xizhen play the piano, Emperor Guangen's speed in dealing with court affairs will be so fast.

Sure enough, having an expectation in your heart can make a person's mental state better.

Shen Xizhen, who realized this, wrote lyrics and composed music diligently, striving to perform new songs for him from time to time.

Emperor Guangen was a person who loved the sound of the piano, and often did this with her, and as time went by, the feelings between husband and wife became more and more harmonious.

On this day, when Shen Xizhen played the song when he and Emperor Guangen first met in the Plum Garden, Emperor Shi Endi suddenly felt emotional, walked up to her, gently pulled her into his arms, and said softly: "Empress, I am very happy, I have never been so happy before." ”

Shen Xizhen stretched out his hand and hugged him back, and said softly: "The concubine is too, there has never been a time in the past that makes the concubine feel as happy as it is now, it is all because of you, the emperor." ”

Emperor Guangen picked up her face, looked at her affectionately, and looked at the face that was as beautiful as it was back then, nay, even more beautiful, he smiled and leaned down to catch her lips. (To be continued......)
