Prime Minister's Office.

Officials from various departments came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and began to get busy, working overtime to audit the performance of the counties.

In addition, Wang Su, the imperial historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and all the imperial historians also came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to supervise and verify their political achievements.

If there is any suspicion in the data, the local imperial historian will be sent to verify it immediately.

The list of political achievements of the 100 counties and 1,000 counties of the Great Chu Dynasty was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion like snowflakes for review.

"In the past three and a half years of my Great Chu Dynasty, on the whole, the country and the people have been peaceful, and the wind and rain have been smooth.

Although there have been floods, locust plagues, droughts, and plagues in some counties, the impact is not too great, and it is limited to a few counties. ”

Kong Hanyou sat in the prime minister's seat in the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with a light smile on his face, and easily flipped through the list of achievements of each county.

It's harvest season!

He will usher in his first bumper political achievements after becoming prime minister.

Wait for this list of achievements to come out.

It is a major transfer of the promotion of county guards and county orders across the country.

The top 10 percent will be promoted, the middle 80 percent will remain in place, and the bottom 10 will be dismissed and retired.

In this big test, at least the hats of the ten worst 2,000-stone county guards will be removed.

Change the ten most bullish new county orders, and go up.

Taking advantage of this to consolidate the position of Confucian officials was naturally something that he came easily.

In addition to Kong Hanyou and Wang Su, Xiao Gongwang, the deputy prime minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as the high-ranking officials of the Nine Secretaries of various ministries, Taichang Lu Zi, Danong Ling Yang Chu, and Tingwei Zheng Jingrong were present to review these lists of political achievements.

When the yamen of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw these lists of political achievements, they were all happy and happy.

Xiao Gongwang nodded and said, "What the prime minister said is good, besides, the imperial court is much richer now, and there is enough money to deal with the disaster."

The governance of hundreds of counties and thousands of counties is excellent, and our hard work over the years can be regarded as a rich reward.

If the emperor sees these political achievements, he will definitely be relieved and appreciative! ”

This national county and county performance test involves seven major items.

1. Account increase. 2. Increase in farmland and grain. 3. Tax increases. Fourth, the school is a Mongolian child. Fifth, the thieves are cleared. 6. Lawsuits and homicides. Seven. The rest of the imperial court is specially assessed.

Each item is in charge of a special minister of Jiuqing.

Yang Chu, a big farmer, was in charge of household registration, field grain, taxation and other finances.

Taichang Lu Zi, who is in charge of the etiquette of the temple and the culture and education of Dachu, of course, must personally investigate the culture and education.

Zheng Jingrong, the court lieutenant, was in charge of thieves and judicial trials, and he had to conduct a big inventory of the major cases and murder cases of the county magistrates of 100 counties and 100 counties.

Each item is subject to rigorous auditing.

In the end, a rating ranking was given to 100 counties and 1000 counties.

The ranking of the national county performance examination is calculated by "increase".

This means that no matter whether it is a rich county or a poor county, as long as the population, cultivated land, tax grain, and tax money this year have increased compared with last year, and the number of thieves and lawsuits has decreased, it will be regarded as an outstanding political achievement.

increase, this part of the county accounted for only one or two percent.

Counties that are flat, with slight ups and downs, and average political performance, account for more than seventy or eighty percent of all counties.

The reverse decrease, that is, the regression of political performance, this part of the county also accounts for about 10%.

In fact, the vast majority of county orders can only be flat, or increase production slightly.

It's already good if you don't regress.

Counties and counties that encounter natural and man-made disasters and greatly reduce grain production are all unlucky.

But this is also normal, the low productivity in ancient times, and there has not been much change for decades, which is the most normal thing.

Sixty or seventy years after the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, it has passed the initial period of rapid development of great land reclamation and population growth, and the growth of national strength has been slow and steady.

Although the population and new arable land are still growing slightly, the pace is obviously very slow.

"This Moling County Commander Dong Xianliang, who has been in office for just half a year, has made quite gratifying political achievements!

The amount of wasteland reclaimed will increase by 20 percent, the grain tax will increase by 10 percent, and the money tax will increase by half percent.

In particular, the gentry were encouraged to run schools, and the number of private schools in the county was nearly doubled, and as many as 300 Mongolian children were enrolled in the county.

Dong County's order obviously attaches great importance to culture and education, and it has done a very brilliant job. ”

Taichang Lu Zi took the list of achievements reported by Moling County and praised it greatly.

"Well, under the rule of Chao Fangzheng County in Wuhu County, the changes are also obvious. In half a year, the cultivated land has increased by two percent, the grain production has increased by one percent, and the tax money has increased by as much as two percent. ”

"The political achievements of the two county commanders are so good that they are enough to be included in the top ten of the thousand county orders."

The officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion are full of praise.

It has only been half a year since he took office, and the increase in cultivated land has been as high as 20 percent, which is quite a political achievement. Many county magistrates have worked for four years, but they have not been able to do this political achievement.

Why are the two prefectural orders so good?

These big officials know it all in their hearts.

The talents of the two county commanders themselves are naturally extraordinary, and they are already in the top four of the palace test.

Their strength is more than enough for the county to guard, and it is naturally easy to do the county order.

But its own strength is not the reason for this outstanding political performance.

The real reason is that their mentor, the identity of Kong Hanyou, the prime minister of the dynasty, is even more powerful in the background.

Who would dare not give face to the local squires, landlords, and big households!?

They took the initiative to contribute money and manpower, vigorously opened up wasteland, donated money to pave bridges and roads, and made political achievements for the two county commanders.

If they are replaced by other county orders, if they don't give enough benefits to the squires and landlords first, who will bird them? The county order may not be easy to speak.

Even the county keeper gave them a considerable amount of resources, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were the first to be transferred to the two counties, so that they could avoid the loss of food due to the drought.

With the prime minister of the dynasty as the backstage, the help of Danyang County Shou Xie Anran, and the local squires and landlords trying their best to curry favor with them, they tilted so much resources.

It's too easy to make outstanding political achievements in just two counties.

Dong Xianliang and Chao Fangzheng, these two county commanders will definitely be able to take the national county and county examination, enter the top ten of the thousand county orders, and be promoted to the county guard, which is also a smooth thing.

The two of them alone can occupy the quota of the two new county guards.

The other thousands of county commanders, of course, rely on their own abilities, find their own relationships, and show their magical powers, to impact their political achievements, and to grab the remaining eight places for promotion to county guards.

This competition, of course, is extremely fierce and cruel.

Of the ten county magistrates, only one can be promoted to the county magistrate.

The vast majority of county orders have no hope of being one in a hundred, and can only end their official career as county commanders.

...

"Report!"

A small official hurriedly entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and handed over the letter, "Danyang County ordered Chu Tianxiu, the Marquis of Xiaodu, to send someone to send a list of Danyang County's political achievements!" ”

"Oh, take a look!"

The big farmer ordered Yang Chu to say.

The list of government achievements is the first to be examined on population, cultivated land, money tax, and grain tax.

It's all under his great agricultural order to review.

The little official hurriedly handed over the list of achievements.

Yang Chu took the list and quickly glanced at the list of achievements reported by Chu Tianxiu, the Marquis of Danyang County, and the various items.

He was stunned for a moment, and his face changed in shock.

I wonder if I'm blind.

If you look closely, it's still the same, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Yang Chu's hands trembled a little.

This.... It's blinding him!

Xiao Duhou, wouldn't it be because he disliked that Danyang County's data was too ugly, and deliberately added an extra zero to the back, right?
