Chapter 578: Placement
In July, Hainan Island reached the hottest season, and the work of rebuilding the DPRK has also entered a critical point, which can be said to be an extremely difficult task. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen Zhao Yu joined Qiong, he had been suffering from a lack of experienced officials, so he had to pull out generals to make up for the shortcomings. But after Xingchao moved to Qiong, he was worried about the problem of too many officials, not only to pay them salaries and solve housing, but also to arrange jobs for them.
Before the move of the dynasty, it was not clear how many officials there were even in the ministry, including the officials who accompanied the Empress Dowager Yang when she fled with the two princes, and the officials who came to defect after the fall of Lin'an, and the officials who were idle in the township or who had left their posts also came to King Qin. After the establishment of the Xing Dynasty, in order to boost morale, many officials were appointed with a large number of rewards.
With the wandering of the dynasty, he went all the way and became an official all the way. In some places, the powerful landlords donated some gold, silver and grain, and even bandits and robbers could mix up officials as long as they expressed their allegiance to the imperial court.
Such a large-scale and unrestrained appointment of officials is inevitably mixed. Some people are just trying to be an official and glorify their ancestors; Some people are speculating, betting that the Great Song Dynasty will not die; There are also officials who do it simply so that they can get more benefits after reducing the yuan. Of course, there are also many loyal ministers and righteous men who want to serve the king and resist foreign humiliation.
However, under the continuous blows of the Mongols, some officials were loyal to the country, some surrendered to the Mongols, some abandoned the officials and left, and many people stayed in the Xingchao and followed the court to Qiongzhou. And the territory here is limited, and there are only three armies and eight counties under its jurisdiction, where there are so many positions and so many officials, the terrible thing is that there are many people who are immoral and incompetent, and they are simply incompetent.
Zhao Yu was also mentally prepared for this, and when he decided to move the Xing Dynasty to Qiong, he knew that he had to take over this burden, otherwise he would deviate from morality, trap himself as unjust, and ruin the reputation of the Xing Dynasty. However, he was still very grateful to the Mongols, and secretly glad that he had solved the 'three redundancies' problem that had not been solved in the three hundred years of the Great Song Dynasty for him, and raised millions of troops in the Great Song Dynasty for him, and dealt with as many officials as large and small as cow hair!
However, what Zhao Yu is most grateful for is that the Mongols have taken their relatives prisoner or killed, cleaned them up, and 'helped' him to relieve a lot of burden, otherwise the money he has worked so hard to get is not enough for them to spend, and he has to worry about them snatching his seat all day long. Now that he has eliminated the troubles and reduced his expenses, he doesn't know how to thank them......
"Your Majesty, the officials of the Imperial Dynasty have all been checked, please preview it!" Today's meeting was convened by Chen Zhongwei, to report on the work, and to listen to the arrangements for the next step, so he started the speech first.
"Bring it on!" Zhao Yu nodded, but when he saw the two-foot roster behind him, his heart couldn't help but sink down.
"Your Majesty, the officials who were ordered to join Qiong after the Ministry of Officials have made statistics, and there are a total of 8,896 civil and military officials, of which more than 6,000 are of good quality and more than 3,600 are of high rank!" Chen Zhongwei said again.
"Well, there are still a lot of officials who are interested in the imperial court!" Zhao Yu nodded again with satisfaction, he was still a little relieved, there were more than 17,000 subordinate officials inside and outside the central government in the Renzong era, and now there are more than half of them. But my heart is bitter, if it is implemented, it is estimated that such a high proportion of officials in Qiongzhou can also set a Guinness World Record, and there are many idle officials who need to support themselves, but it seems that people who eat white rice are indispensable!
"Your Majesty, the ministers and the ministers and the deacons have reorganized and surveyed the provinces, Taiwan, temples, and supervisors, reduced the fictitious positions, and placed more than 1,200 officials in the court. There are more than 300 local states and counties, and more than 600 in the army! Chen Zhongwei said.
"Hmm." Zhao Hao listened and looked through the roster.
Zhao Yu has also done some homework these days, and he knows that in the early Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin had faced the same dilemma as himself, out of the necessity of stabilizing people's minds and consolidating political power, and also promoted low-ranking and talented new recruits to important positions, and placed incompetent or unwilling to submit officials to idleness, and its positive effect was obvious; At the same time, there are obvious drawbacks.
The original provincial Taisi supervisor has become an idle official or a high-ranking official, unless he is a special official, he does not treat his own affairs, resulting in the disorder of the official system. Due to the increasing number of officials and the limited actual duties and work contents, many of these officials have become ineffective. At that time, people said that "those who live in their officials and do not know their duties are often eight or nine times out of ten." "That is to say, there are eight or nine out of ten people who occupy official positions but have nothing to do all day, which is about the same as the current empty salary.
It's one thing to know, it's another thing to actually do it. At present, whether it is out of the need for stability or the need to retain the backbone, Zhao Hao must set up a stage, and he can't always make a grass stage team to sing. Therefore, he proposed that the personnel of various provinces, Taiwan, departments, and supervisors should be appropriately reduced and the grassroots forces should be strengthened. At the same time as solving the problem of the resettlement of some officials, a number of people who are really unusable to eat and drink are eliminated, leaving room for future expansion. So I'm very satisfied with their work.
"Your Majesty, in order to retain the talented, and those who cannot be placed for the time being, the ministers think that they can enter the academy and the Hanlin Academy; Some of those who have passed the state and provincial examinations can enter the national sub-prison to study, and think that the country is educating talents; Those who are really unusable can order some personnel to serve in order to reduce the expenses of the imperial court. Chen Zhongwei said again.
"Feasible!" Zhao Yu hesitated and bowed his head. I pondered in my heart that the way of layoffs was similar in ancient and modern times, and for some talented people to change units and raise them first, waiting for the opportunity to use them again; Young people who still have training value go to school; Those who can't do anything will be paid half of their wages and refunded.
However, Zhao Yu still has some complaints about arranging some people to the Academy and the Hanlin Academy. In fact, this academy is equivalent to the emperor's secretariat, and the Hanlin scholars are known as the "private people of the Son of Heaven", and their main work is to prepare and draft various documents for various activities in the palace. In addition, there is also a role of serving the emperor as an advisor and a consultant, that is, as the emperor's think tank and staff officer, using his proficient knowledge of the rules and regulations of the past dynasties and the knowledge of the emperor's studies, to make plans.
Because the Hanlin scholars were close to the emperor, they could influence the emperor's decision-making, and they were easily appreciated and promoted by the masters, and became a place for the deacons to store materials. Therefore, it is difficult for him to be selected, and after being selected, the responsibility is also heavy, and the position is also respected, which is a place that scholars are very eager to admire. And Zhao Yu knew that the people who could meet this condition in the Manchu Dynasty had already been ranked as rulers or entrusted with important tasks, and their arrangement was actually to cover up another action......
