Section 429 Sun Chengzong establishes a civil service system

Any regime has an impulse to collect more taxes, just like the land endowment, there are always people muttering in Yan Dashao's ear that they collect less.

Merchants who trade commercial goods often have to pay taxes at the customs, especially in times of war, and the tax rate is high and the number of taxes is collected.

In the past, there were many customs payment procedures, during which the customs officials Kana extorted, and the actual losses of merchants were greater than the obvious ones, and valuable time was wasted.

The situation in the southeast province was much better, and Sun Chengzong legislated that the tax was only collected once, and the merchants paid the tax once as required, and they had tax bills in their hands. If you encounter an audit along the way, you only need to show the tax bill, and you can do it.

Officials in the southeast prefecture who dare to know the law and violate the law and extort money will be severely punished once they are investigated.

At the same time, businessmen who dare to falsify tax bills and evade taxes will surely be let by the ruling government of the southeast government let them know what is called the power of "labor reform"!

Collect heavy taxes, and at the same time tax to the end, strictly investigate the tax law of the officials to the public, organize government officials, clerks and businessmen to "study" the spirit of the document, in addition to widely publicizing and promulgating, but also organize personnel to study, this is the "characteristic" brought by Yan Dashao, which was praised by Sun Chengzong.

……

Sun Chengzong not only legislated, but also enacted regulations, for example, he helped improve the civil service system of the southeast prefecture.

The administrative staff of the Southeast Province are not called "civil servants", but the kind of civil officials + clerks.

Well, Yan Dashao admits his mistakes, and it has not yet reached the time when the society of "civil servants" is developed, the system is perfect, and the IQ is high, then it is an official.

The selection of civil officials must go through an examination, similar to the imperial examination, as long as the candidates are official subjects of the southeast prefecture, there is no family, background, urban and rural discrimination, and they can enter the government after passing the examination. The content of the exam is no longer the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, but the combination of politics, economics, mathematics, physics and other subjects.

For example, the standard career of a ministry is as follows: clerk of a ministry (for two years) - grassroots internship (for three years) - low-level civil officer of a ministry (for three years) - local junior civil officer (for three years) - a middle-level official or a local middle-level official (about ten years), and then it depends on whether he can be promoted to a senior official.

He advocated that there should be both local experience and experience in the ministry, saying that "the prime minister must start from the state department", with high standards, and cultivate talents as prime ministers to cultivate!

No longer like the Ming Dynasty, after passing the Jinshi examination, you can be awarded the seven-rank official, but the result is nothing, and when you go to the local and ministry, you are deceived by the officials, and even give the officials above them.

Starting from a junior official and then slowly being promoted, the business knowledge is familiar and the previous drawbacks will no longer occur.

This is a kind of overthrow of the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty and the appointment of officials!

Sun Chengzong was a vested interest in the imperial examination system, but in turn overthrew the imperial examination system, he said: "The old man is old and thick-skinned, and he is not afraid of what others say!" ”

In fact, the selection and appointment of officials in the southeast province is also to start from small officials and then slowly promote officials, but the world has many doubts, after all, they are used to seeing how to select officials in the imperial examination system, and they are not interested in the way of employing and appointing officials in the southeast government, thinking that you, a little pirate, will know how to use people!

The civil bureaucracy implemented by Yan Changwu belongs to the self-esteem within the jurisdiction, and those elites on the mainland do not like the southeast province at all.

Some friends who have made good friends with the southeast government have also persuaded Yan Changwu to open the imperial examination, that is, to imitate the Ming Dynasty to show talents--- raise people---- Jinshi---- release officials, so as to attract talents.

"Clear talk is misleading the country, but hard work is prosperous." The personnel of the southeast government are generally stronger than doing and weak at speaking, and many good experiences cannot be spoken, cannot be written, and it is difficult to refute the other party.

As soon as Sun Chengzong came, he shouted a few times, and everyone believed him!

People are more angry than people.

He has a high prestige, he has put forward a lot of evidence, and he has spoken to the truth, and he has stated the disadvantages of the imperial examination system one by one, so that no one has anything to say!

For example, Liu Zhifeng, who is currently the vice minister of the Ministry of Finance of the Southeast Prefecture, is a two-list jinshi, and thinks that the "imperial examination system" is good, and Sun Chengzong said unceremoniously: "Good for him, the new official of the Jinshi arrives in the ministry, the accounts will not be calculated, the work will not be done, and even a single official document will not be written. ”

"How much can such a function do? This is even more true when the magistrate is appointed, people who can only read books and read dead books, but they actually grasp everything in administration, justice, and education, thinking that everyone is an old man! He said with a big grin, everyone can only listen to it!

Sun Chengzong dared to say that he could do anything, if Yan Dashao said so, saying that he was omnipotent, those on the mainland complimented him and said that he was the reincarnation of a god, but behind his back he scolded "Little pirate, you will be an official!" ”

If you weren't relying on your guy to be thicker, bigger and harder than others, and you would speak loudly and evilly, and you would show a group of brothers with meaty faces and bad faces behind you at every turn, others would only treat you as a P!

Sun Chengzong is different, his background is too prominent, listen to his analysis of the harm of the officials: "In the past dynasties, the king of Hades is good at seeing the little ghosts and difficult to deal with, these officials are deceived and concealed, filling their own pockets, the officials are not officials, but there are only a few officials in a county, and if you want to maintain the operation, you need officials, even if they are good orders, they will often be distorted because of their role, but they will become bad government, bad government, and their harm can be imagined."

They make it difficult for them to solicit bribes, hold officials hostage, steal from prisons, rely on the powerful, oppress the people, extort money, exploit civilians, manipulate the judiciary, engage in favoritism, and so on. Among them, especially the phenomenon of Xu officials manipulating the judiciary and making money through litigation by virtue of their proficiency in laws and regulations is the most typical. They take advantage of it, if you are good with me, I will pay you a little less, and if you give me money, I will turn your fertile land into bad land, and pay less grain!

Okay, the county master can't do business, please master, a master is paid 200 taels of silver a year, a county master wants to invite at least three, 600 taels of silver a year, and the county master's Yulu is 12 stones, 30 taels of silver and 360 yuan of treasure money in the Wanli years, adding up to not enough to please the master, he is not greedy! ”

He made the final decision and said: "The civil service system in my southeast mansion is really good!" In fact, it is what Wang Jinggong of the Northern Song Dynasty wants to do!

Wang Jing Princess Zhang, those who are about to take up public office should first take up the position of Xu official, so that they can learn in advance the work they will be guiding and supervising in the future.

Second, he advocated raising the status of officials and subordinates in order to close or reduce the gap caused by their isolation from the civil service, hoping to bring them under the constraints of Confucian ethics and social norms, and to inspire them in a spirit of loyalty and dedication. At that time, he did include the officials in the ranks of the state salary. Soon after, however, his political opponents annulled this achievement, along with his other reforms. ”

Yes, he even moved out of Wang Jinggong, also known as Wang Anshi, a reformer, and everyone had nothing to say!

The civil service system in the southeast province was formalized, and all newcomers had to take exams and then be promoted step by step instead of official positions in one step.

……

Sun Chengzong sat in the southeast mansion, and his influence was far-reaching, which was equivalent to the recognition of the emperor of a dynasty to a place that was originally transformed into a foreign country, he came, and others could naturally come.
