The dawn of the morning shone through the streets of Bianliang, and the city and its inhabitants woke up to the sound of the chime's bell.

The early hawkers have already begun to shout and shout, and the people of Bianliang usually do not open their stoves at home in the early morning, and there will be many early shops that are lively every morning, and you can buy breakfast such as "filling lungs", "fried lungs", porridge and rice for one or two dollars.

A few children squatted at the gate, gargling with toothbrushes, and several Keju teams in Kaifeng Mansion had already started their morning exercises, and their feet seemed to be sticky, and the ball was on their feet. A group of people soon gathered around to watch, and if anyone kicked well, the people of Bianliang never skimped on their applause.

A group of civil officials with crowned scarves, carrying a half-human-high pole and carrying small balls, went to the suburbs to pound pills.

The so-called hammer pill is the earliest golf ball, which was only played by civil officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and was just a symbol of status.

Yang Lin put on his official uniform early in the morning, and when he arrived at the early dynasty of Daqing Palace, the new monarch Zhao Si had not yet passed the emperor's excitement period, and he was very energetic in hoping to participate in the governance of the world.

The upstarts in the court, led by Xu Zhichang and Wang Chaoli, politely told him that His Majesty only needs to rule by doing nothing, which is the way of the Holy Son.

Zhao Si was so bored, Yang Jian chuckled, shook the dust and announced his retreat.

Yang Lin walked out of the Daqing Palace, but did not go to the Forbidden Zhongming Hall, but instead summoned several officials from the Arrest Factory and the Duwei Mansion.

A group of about 50 people mounted their horses and began to count the number of people from one yamen to see if anyone was lazy and could not come.

The autumn breeze was cold, and Yang Lin's face was a little red, and the first one to come was Jiang Zuo.

Many of the prisoners in the prison were his old subordinates when he was a prisoner, and when they saw that their old boss was coming, they greeted him one after another.

In the past, the supervisor was the champion temporarily, but now Cai Jing has reformed and implemented the school system, and there is no longer a champion. This position is also held by the young eunuch Zhang Tong.

"Shaozai, why are you here?" Zhang Tong greeted him with a smile, Yang Lin didn't answer first, glanced left and right, and found that the sparse crowd in the yamen was very deserted.

The birds in the yard were too lazy to take off, so they pecked at the grass seeds in the same place, and they looked like they were cooked.

Yang Lin kicked the unlucky bird away, and said with a straight face: "Lao Zhang, if I remember correctly, you should have two young eunuchs, four young men, six chief bookkeepers, and twelve recorders. ”

"Shaozai Yingming, what he said is exactly right." Zhang Tong patted his ass.

"Exactly the same?" Yang Lin glared at him and said sharply, "Then tell me, how many people are here?" ”

Zhang Tong looked embarrassed, the idleness and laziness of the officials of the Great Song Dynasty is something that everyone is accustomed to, what kind of trouble is Shaozai.

You must know that the little general is only in charge of the palace building, the production of gold, jade, pearl and rhino elephant treasure vessels, the embroidery of lesagrain, and all kinds of strange utensils.

In fact, only one or two people need to be in charge of this kind of highly professional office, and the rest only need craftsmen.

But here there are only two third-grade officials, two from the fourth-grade, and twelve from the sixth-grade... There are more than 20 Jiupin officials.

Yang Lin said to Lu Qian behind him: "Write down all these people, and those who didn't arrive today will all be dismissed from their official positions." ”

Several officials in the prison who came to the prison on time looked at each other, which was too unkind, and they would be directly dismissed from their official positions if they didn't come to the prison...

Yang Lin didn't talk nonsense with them, and said to Zhang Tong: "In the future, it will be recorded and reported every day, and the Governor's Mansion will be responsible for collecting it every day. ”

The flood of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, the bloated institutions, and the floating of people are already a big problem.

"The state and county are not as wide as before, and the officials are five times as large as the old", this is the status quo of the Great Song Dynasty.

The scale of the bureaucratic contingent in the Northern Song Dynasty was quite good in the Taizu period, but it began to expand from the Taizong period, and the Zhizhenzong and Renzong dynasties reached the peak.

The reason for this is that from the time of Emperor Taizong, the Northern Song Dynasty began to clearly implement the policy of "emphasizing literature over military force", and appointed a large number of civilian officials to govern, so it greatly expanded the scale of admission of Chinese scholars in the imperial examination.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were only twenty or thirty Jinshi and the first at a time, and the Northern Song Dynasty admitted seven or eight hundred people each time. This is still a normal way to elect officials and enter the office. In addition to this approach, the Great Song Dynasty also indiscriminately opened up the way of entering the bureaucracy, which further contributed to the expansion of the bureaucratic ranks, and eventually formed the problem of "redundant officials". The main thing is "grace", the so-called "grace", that is, those who have obtained official positions can shade their grandchildren, relatives, and even acquaintances...

The Great Song Dynasty was prevalent, and there were many reasons and opportunities to implement it. This is also the channel and theoretical support for Wang Hao, Cai You, Cai Jing, and Liang Shicheng to sell their officials.

Moreover, the shrewd emperors of the Great Song Dynasty also came up with a strange thing, that is, in case of disaster and famine, if the landlord is willing to open a warehouse to provide grain or hire a man to pay money, he can also be awarded an official position by the imperial court depending on the amount of money he contributes.

Not only are there many official positions, but there are even five or six officials sitting in one official position at the same time.

Yang Lin personally led the team, and started to rectify it today, and with the residual power of the palace change still there, he wanted to completely reverse this phenomenon.

There is no special way, just let them get out, this simple and crude method is not that the previous monarchs and ministers did not want to use it, but they did not have this condition.

Now that Yang Lin has it, he has a heavy army, and if the emperor doesn't do it well, I will let him step down and get out, let alone you petty officials.

After finishing his work, Lu Qian asked, "Shaozai, where is the next one?" ”

Yang Lin thought for a while and said, "You first send a few people to the various yamen to prevent them from receiving the news, and now run to the yamen." In this way, we can slowly investigate, comb Bianliang aside today, and find a way to reduce the number of judges in a few days. ”

Lu Qian tugged on the reins of the horse, turned around and commanded a few times, and immediately a team of people rode up to move people to block the door.

Yang Lin is in a good mood, this thing is like a sore, it is really more pleasant.

led the crowd to fight Ma Yu Street, preparing to go to the Criminal Department to check people, running on East Street, and saw a carriage in front of him, which Yang Lin was very familiar with.

The mother-in-law who drove the car was still from her own house, this was clearly the carriage she gave to Duan Miaozhen, Yang Lin smiled at the corner of his mouth, slowly approached, and said through the curtain: "Little lady, how about making a friend?" ”

Lu Qian secretly slandered in his heart, you are still arresting people here, and you are not doing it yourself.

Duan Miaozhen knew that it was Yang Lin as soon as she heard the voice, and quickly lifted the curtain, and saw that it was indeed him.

The two of them looked at each other, so tired that they seemed to be about to flow sugar water, Yang Lin quickly stopped the carriage and jumped into the car.

Duan Miaozhen was dressed very elegantly today, and it was still difficult to hide her natural beauty, so she got into Yang Lin's arms and murmured: "Lin Lang, I miss you so much, what are you doing?" ”

Yang Lin stroked her green silk and said with a smile: "I'm catching officials who are derelict in their duties." These slackers don't work at all, and the corpses are vegetarian, and I let them roll up and get out. ”

Duan Miaozhen covered her mouth and snickered: "Aren't you yourself, this carriage is not the Forbidden Ming Hall." ”

"Bold, dare to make fun of this official." Yang Lin pressed her on her lap and made a gesture to lift her skirt and spank her.

Duan Miaozhen giggled and kicked her legs, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Lin Lang, don't make trouble, I still have to enter Genyue." ”

"Gen Yue? What are you going to Gen for now? ”

"Little Liu Guifei invites someone to talk about Zen, don't damage my clothes, otherwise you won't be able to see people for a while."

"Huh?"
