Chapter 301: Is Lone So Corrupt?
The origin of the system of non-local appointment and dismissal of officials dates back to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The reason for this is that the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms brought a huge blow and deterrence to the Han court, which caused them to have to think about change.
The Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was a matter of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but this matter was not implemented until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Basically, it can be said that it is this system that ensures the centralized system of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
However, through the summary of practice, it is found that it is difficult for officials who are officials in different places to weave a huge network of relationships as before.
The kind of top-down network that can directly affect the centralized network.
The decision to appoint and dismiss officials in different places has been running in every dynasty since the beginning of the Han Dynasty.
Later, there was even a rule that you should not be an official for a thousand miles, and then you would not be an official for 500 miles, and so on.
There are also rules that do not have a distance limit, but there are separate restrictions on not being an official in the county or in the neighboring counties of the county.
Because these officials are officials in different places, they are almost alone when they take office, and at most they bring their wives and children with them.
If the central court's deterrence of the local government is not enough, then these officials will go to the local government to become officials, not to mention that they can make a career, I am afraid that they will be disarmed by others as soon as they arrive, and then stay for a few years to get out of the way.
Therefore, if the decree of being an official in a different place is pushed forward, everyone will no longer feel that this is deliberately making things difficult for others.
Those who go to other places to serve as officials, on the contrary, hope that the deterrent power of the central court can be great, the bigger the better, only in this way can they be officials in peace.
In this respect, these officials who are officials in other places will subconsciously help and support the strengthening of centralized power.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to scout the assessment!" Zhang Liang thought about it and said.
"Why?" Wang Buxing looked at Zhang Liang, two completely different departments, there is no mutual subordination, this kind of assessment is more authentic, right?
"The scouts have too much power!" Zhang Liang said.
Wang Bu was stunned.
Too much power for scouts?
What powers do the scouts have now?
Isn't it just to monitor the situation on the ground?
The right to act lies with the guerrillas, and the scouts at the grassroots level are ordinary people, and there are only three or five scouts in a county.
Anyway, Wang Bu is hungry because he thinks that scouts are really easy to use, and he can quickly understand every move in various places.
As long as you want to know the situation of a place, you can see everything in the recent situation of this place in a short time.
"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the assessment of the ability of the officials, but if the ability and morality complement each other, it is a little inappropriate to let the scouts be responsible for the morality, and after a long time, if the scout officers are not right-minded, how dare the local officials offend them? It is impossible for any official to do his best in handling everything, and what if the scouts are too serious to focus on one point and hype up the morality of officials? If this is the case, even if this official makes ten correct decisions, it will be ruined by this seemingly incorrect decision. Zhang Liang said.
It is impossible to completely avoid this situation.
Even if a new yamen is formed to be responsible, such a situation may still occur.
But the scout is in charge, and the impact may be even greater.
Wang Buyu suddenly thought of the Ming Dynasty's Dongchang Xichang Jinyiwei, whose intentions were good, but as time passed, the power of these departments increased, which eventually led to a series of uncontrolled influences.
What Zhang Liang said also makes sense, people make mistakes.
If there are really officials who are deliberately targeted for offending people, it will be too miserable.
For the officials themselves, it is miserable, and for themselves, of course, they do not want such good officials to be buried.
Wang Bu was hungry and continued to think of a way to deal with it.
The assessment cannot all be in a fixed form, which will allow more officials to prepare in advance.
As for the consideration of officials, it must be a covert and raid-based assessment.
Only without the knowledge of the officials can the most real situation be seen.
The best way is to make a private visit to your own micro-service and see it in person.
But the world is so big, obviously it can't be seen.
If a separate department is formed, it is necessary to prevent excessive power.
Then the best way is naturally a rotation system, so that the officials in charge of going to the assessment do not know where they are going before they set off, so that some collusion can naturally be avoided.
If it is for the sake of stability, you can send a few more people to go to each other in batches, and they do not know each other, and only when the answers obtained by many people are not much different, can they be proved to be true and correct.
But......
Hard......
Wang Buyu intends to promote the imperial examination system, but the formation of a system cannot be done in one or two years.
Even the school building has not yet been built, so even if it starts now, the first people to participate in the imperial examination will have to be at least ten years later.
Therefore, the current Han Kingdom still uses the probation system, but the current probation system has not yet reached the most perfect time.
Basically, local officials are in charge of the selection, and the process is to go down one level at a time.
The Han Dynasty followed the Qin system, and now there is not much change in the administration, and it still continues the system of the Qin Dynasty.
Five families are one army, two families are one tithe, ten tithes are one mile, ten li is one pavilion, ten pavilions are one township, ten townships are one county, and ten counties are one county.
Some places may not follow this path, but most do.
Every three years, each person is selected, and then the pavilion chief assesses these people, and selects three people from them, and reports to the township in the second half of the year, and before the end of the year, the township has rank (Guan Da Township) and the township Sifu (Guan Xiao Township) and then selects five people from the thirty people who have passed the first round of selection to report to the counties.
The following year, each county had to conduct a more detailed assessment of the 50 people, and this process lasted for a year, and finally no more than five people were selected and reported to the county.
In the third year, the county guard spent another half a year to review and select, and from the fifty people, selected the right person to report to the Luoyang Ministry of Officials.
The officials basically notified the counties of the time of assessment at the beginning of the year, anyway, in the second half of the third year.
At this time, the talents selected from all over the country will go to Luoyang for the final assessment.
It's a strategy, giving you a question, you can be an official if you answer correctly, and where you go back if you don't answer correctly.
There is no limit to the number of places recommended by the county guard, and if he wants, he can report all fifty people.
But only a fool would do that.
Probation system!
Probation system!
There is inspection, there is lifting, and there is a system.
If the person you recommend passes the examination, if he commits a crime in the future, no matter how serious, it will have a great impact on the official who recommended him.
According to the level of the time of the crime, the level of influence is different, if he is a county official at the time of the crime, then the biggest impact is the county magistrate who recommended him at that time, and the following officials.
And this kind of system will bring another hidden danger.
If the officials who committed the crime and recommended him are to be implicated, then if these officials are still alive, they will definitely find a way to cover it up, thus forming another croon.
Of course, most of the time the chief is just a name.
When you are a small person, you commit crimes, and it affects the officials who are in charge of education, because they are actually responsible for the assessment.
When you get mixed up, it's the ones who will be affected, because it's in their name.
Of course, if you succeed, the benefits are obvious.
For example, Song Yi, who recommended the baby, is now living a small life with a county guard.
And the baby who recommended Han Xin, do you need to say more about the current days?
In terms of status and ability, he can almost be called the first general of the Han Dynasty.
Wang is not hungry, and he never likes to do things, and he only looks at the present.
Although there is a question of how to evaluate officials in front of us.
But in Wang Buxing's opinion, he can use this matter to do something else.
The reason why the probationary examination system is taken into account is naturally to pave the way for the future imperial examination system.
Nothing can be done overnight, just like that or something, straight is a person, if you want everyone to soar in the sky together, you have to have some foreshadowing.
"Cancel the probation responsibility system, and the county order retains the right to directly recommend, but in the future, the recommendation of talents will be carried out by the local education department department!" Wang Bu said suddenly.
“???” Zhang Liang was suddenly stunned, why did this good thing suddenly deviate again?
Wang was not hungry, but he didn't think about Zhang Liang's bewilderment.
There is naturally a reason for this, and Wang Bu is not hungry and thinks it will be of great help.
So he continued: "Officials who have passed the inspection and examination will not be an official for two years, and the Ministry of Officials will issue a unified topic, and assign these officials to go to various places to secretly investigate the moral problems of local officials......
Listening to Wang Bu's words, Zhang Liang's eyes suddenly lit up.
The more I thought about it, the more surprised I became, and the more I thought about it, the more shocked I became.
I couldn't help but clap my hands and exclaim: "Good! Great goodness! The king's move is really a great good! ”
A good policy often doesn't need more explanation.
Those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't understand may not be able to understand no matter how much they explain.
Zhang Liang has been in a high position for a long time, and he has been in contact with many people.
Therefore, he understood the intention of Wang Buxing's move, which was an evolutionary version of the response based on his previous suggestion.
Zhang Liang was shocked again, and Zhang Liang suddenly had a feeling.
Even if Qin Shi Huang is still alive now, with the wisdom of the king, it will not be difficult to achieve the position of prime minister in the future, right?
Of course, just pat it in your heart.
Like Zhang Buyi and Sima Xin's shameless methods, Zhang Liang can't do it.
Anyway, it is also a Zhongshu order, one of the troika, even if it is a sycophant, it has to be filmed differently.
So, Zhang Liang stroked a little in his heart, and then said:
"The biggest advantage of this move is that, first, the participants are rotated every two years, second, the participants are all new officials, there is not so much interference, plus the dispatch of other places, more worry-free, you can get more accurate answers, third, by letting them go to the actual investigation, they can also have a clearer understanding of the randomness of the imperial court's assessment of officials, so that they dare not slack off after being officials, fourth, can have a deterrent effect on the current officials, and the fifth ......"
Looking at Zhang Liang, Wang was not hungry with black lines.
I just want to solve the problem of the examiners being bought, and by the way, pave the way for the future imperial examination, your two, three, four, and you are so reasonable, I ......
I'm stunned when I step on the horse, is this method really so disadvantageous?
