Chapter 449: Small Reforms
After sending King Xuan away, Xiao Yuan began to get busy again.
Every day, he would deal with a whole bunch of movements.
Among them, there are many counties around the county, of course, there is no lack of people who have a beard and a horse, what king has been eating well recently, the minister is worried about the king, and the king should take care of his body or something.
For this kind of thing, Xiao Yuan casually glanced at it and threw it aside, and disposed of it as a void chapter.
Flattery to superiors is normal human nature, but in his place, if you want to be promoted, you have to govern the place well and show political achievements.
In fact, the officialdom system of the Qin State has been very perfect, each ministry performs its own duties, there is no mutual prevarication, just like the Ministry of Industry, but there is not only one person in the Ministry of Industry, there are many officials under it, and the matter is summarized to the Shangshu, he deals with it, and the king needs to make a decision on a slightly bigger matter.
On the public side, once cheating, the consequences are very serious.
For example, if a magistrate wants to make superficial political achievements, but the people in the area under his jurisdiction are not good, but he reports that a faction is prosperous, once it is exposed, he will be dismissed from his post and investigated, and at worst, his head will not be guaranteed.
The days went by like this.
On this day, the palace of the king of Qin.
"Ministers participate in the king, my king is ten thousand years"
The ministers knelt down and shouted in unison, and the different halls here were somewhat crowded.
"Zhongqing is flat."
Xiao Yuan waved his robe and sat down directly above.
"King Xie" The people shouted in unison again, got up one after another, and then stood on the left and right.
"Is there anything to do?" Xiao Yuan asked symbolically.
As soon as his voice fell, Liu Yuzhi stood up and bowed his hand and said, "Your lord, minister, there is a book." ”
"Prime Minister, please speak." Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand slightly.
Liu Yuzhidao: "Regarding the implementation of national education, under the decree of the king, schools around the country are urgently built, and it will not be long before it will be fully launched, but before that, several scholars proposed that under the reading problem of young children, the first filial piety is promoted, and the people are literate, starting from this scripture." ”
The local university scholar is a newly created official position, which should be mainly responsible for the improvement of education for local universities, which is equivalent to the current director of education.
As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, which is the foundation of human beings.
After listening to Xiao Yuan, there was nothing to consider: "The quasi-bachelor's play." ”
"I'm Wang Yingming." Liu Yuzhi first said a word, and then said: "In addition, it is a matter of officers at all levels. ”
"Oh? Is there a drawback to our officer system? Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Liu Yuzhi: "It's not a system problem, it's a matter of knowledge." ”
"I'll give you an example."
"General Guan Kui, a great military achievement, an intermediate general, at the beginning, when the king led the army to attack Xirong, he was responsible for garrisoning Xiping Pass, but for the king's military orders, he needed the military lieutenant to help him see, you can imagine what kind of hidden danger this is."
Liu Yuzhi is not impeaching Guan Kui, on the contrary, he has a positive attitude towards his military exploits, but he is just explaining some problems.
Xiao Yuan's brows also furrowed.
Liu Yuzhi continued: "Under the command of the king, there are many generals who can conquer and fight, but most of these people are poor, reckless, and illiterate, and my king must not ignore them. ”
He is right, the generals of the Qin army, most of them are in the army, to put it bluntly, they are born with mud legs, dare to fight, and fight, one top two.
And many people are born with the ability to read military maps and lead troops to war, which has nothing to do with literacy.
As far as the war is concerned, the generals of the Qin army have absolutely no problems, but what Liu Yuzhi said cannot be solved.
After all, people go to higher places, just like Goldman Sachs, the more times he follows Xiao Yuan on the expedition, the more he likes to read military books, which is a kind of continuous progress.
Xiao Yuan thought for a moment, and first said: "Listening to what the prime minister said, it seems that there is a faint accusation that the widow is valuing the military. ”
"How dare Weichen, he is just stating the facts." Liu Yuzhi said hurriedly.
"Okay." Xiao Yuan finally thought about it, and said: "The prime minister's proposal, this king agrees, in this way, that is, the central army, middle and low-level generals, must be literate!" No matter whether he says that he is a rough person or reckless, all the reasons for his resignation are all dismissed, it is summer, and when it is winter, among the generals, there are illiterate people, and they will be severely punished! ”
"Wechen takes orders." Liu Yuzhi immediately gave a salute.
Then, Ding Rong stood up, bowed down and said, "The king, the minister, there is also something to play." ”
"Lord Ding?" Xiao Yuan was slightly surprised, after all, Ding Rong was a high-ranking official in the imperial court before.
The latter said: "The minister thinks that although China's current political system has been perfected, there are still some problems with the officials. ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yuan asked in a condensed voice.
Ding Rong explained: "Now the kingdoms of heaven and earth are all based on the imperial system, and the official salaries are implemented, such as a certain minister, more than 2,000 stones, but in fact, there are only a few people who are sent to their hands. ”
"The official salary that the court said is 2,000 stones, which has created a phenomenon, without 2,000 stones, officials will find a way to get these 2,000 stones, so that officials, taking care of their own interests first, have a lot of wanton expropriation."
"Weichen thinks that instead of this, it is better to make this matter clear, improve the salary of officials, and effectively put an end to corruption."
His proposal is really worth considering, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but sigh lightly when he heard this, and began to think about it.
The other ministers also exchanged their heads and began to talk in whispers.
Ding Rong continued: "Taking the minister of Yipin as an example, the monthly salary can be 60 taels of silver, and so on, so that there will not be so many complicated and troublesome things, of course, the specific amount needs to be decided by the king himself. ”
60 taels of silver, based on the price at that time, its purchasing power is equivalent to 60,000 yuan now.
Standardization and no longer engaging in some hypocrisy, this admonition is worth considering.
After Xiao Yuan thought about it, he glanced at the ministers again: "What Lord Yu Ding admonished, do the secretaries have any objections?" ”
The people looked at each other, and then a minister stepped forward: "In this way, it is indeed clearer, but there is one thing, many officials' mansions, including Weichen, have some servants, if the money is only enough for personal use"
This is also a question that everyone is concerned about, and someone immediately chimed in: "Yes, king, this matter must be worried." ”
Feudal dynasty, you want to be monogamous, without the existence of subordinate slaves, it is simply impossible!
Xiao Yuan understood the problem of the times, and immediately nodded: "Don't worry about this Zhongqing, the official salary is concretized, and the favor remains the same." ”
To put it simply, the amount of silver this month is the personal income of officials, and the rewards of titles and merits and political achievements still exist.
In this way, there is no problem in raising some servants and guests, but on the contrary, there is an increase in the standard amount of silver every month, which is equivalent to increasing the income of officials across the country.
When the ministers heard this, they immediately stopped saying more, and saluted one after another: "The king is wise."
