Chapter 402: Welcome Banquet
Different from the picture of dreams and tears gushing out of tears in the imperial city, the Wangjiang Tower is a scene of cheering and festivity.
More than 4,000 students, under the leadership of officials from various ministries, sat in different areas, as the promoters of the same subject, they can be regarded as having a close relationship, and while toasting to the Shangguan who led the team, they will also drink a glass with each other.
Although the cups here are small, but the wine is very strong, after a few glasses, everyone's faces are flushed, the officials who lead the team are all on a mission, while everyone is not drunk, they each explained to these interns some things to pay attention to.
For example, they have to report to that place, what time to go to the office, what they are generally doing, who the main leaders are, and so on.
Although interns did not directly obtain official status because they were selected, they can already change the household registration of first-class citizens, and in fact, they do things that only officials do.
With the urgency of Datang's demand for talents, these people don't even have time to return to their hometowns to report the good news, they will go to the Yamen tomorrow to report, and those who are assigned to Chang'an will start to work in the Yamen immediately after reporting the road, and those who are assigned to go to the place will set off together after gathering, and only give them an extra month of family visit leave every year in addition to Datang's statutory bathing day.
There is no objection to such an arrangement of the imperial court, you must know that most of them used to be workers and businessmen who could not be officials, and now, with such an opportunity to be an official, who would not cherish it.
Of course, in fact, most of them will be left in Guanzhong, because before the Spring Festival this year, the yamen in Guanzhong will be reformed and improved in accordance with the new system, and the new county ya, in addition to the acting judge of the Ming Law Department to hear the case, there will also be a government-run hospital and medical officer, a household official belonging to the Ministry of Households, a financial officer belonging to the Ministry of Finance, a agricultural officer belonging to the Ministry of Agriculture, a commercial officer belonging to the Ministry of Commerce, a working officer belonging to the Ministry of Industry, and a criminal officer belonging to the Criminal Department. Among them, the criminal officer is also in charge of the county soldiers, which originally belonged to the county lieutenant, and is now called the explosion-proof team.
These eight officials are different according to the upper, middle and lower counties, and their grades are also different, all under the supervision and management of the county order, and they are responsible to their own higher-level yamen chief officials, and most of them are now temporarily represented by interns.
Of course, not all county officials are fully equipped with so many interns, and many of the county officials who originally assisted the county order in managing the county government's chief book, county lieutenant, and various department gongcao were directly transferred to the chief officials of some departments.
For example, the original county lieutenant was directly converted into a local criminal officer with the greatest actual power in addition to the county order.
Like Sihu's Gong Cao, he jumped from an official to an official, and there may not be much difference in the lower county, but in the upper county, it is an official on the eighth grade.
Don't think that this level is low, in the future, when the county order is vacant, they can directly fill the position of the county order, and their promotion channel, not only the position of the county order, but also the lack of staff in the higher level of the same system, but also from among them, if Datang opens up any new territory, it is still necessary to transfer personnel from among them as officials, it is said that those who have been evaluated well after three years of term will be at least one level higher when they are transferred.
In addition, after the total economic volume and population reach a certain scale, the administrative level is upgraded, and everyone will be promoted, and if the county's population and tax payment can be raised to the standard of the middle county, then the grade of all officials will be calculated according to the middle county.
If you can develop it into a city of Chang'an and Weinan, then congratulations, the ten officials and the prime minister-level county orders can be done for you.
This is a means of stimulating officials to develop localities, and Li Shimin adopted it after listening to Sun Xiangfu's suggestion, and in the future, the evaluation of government performance, population, local economic aggregate, per capita income of local people, and popular sentiment index are all important criteria.
Those who have improved in all aspects belong to those with good political performance, and after getting a good evaluation, it is easy to be promoted, and those who have regressed, embarrassed, are directly degraded, and even, if they do not regress within a certain period of time and do not improve, they will also be degraded.
Although the local chief officials have a much higher salary than officials of the same level, they are also under great pressure, and they cannot get by as they used to, and they must take the development of the local area as the primary purpose, otherwise, the official will not be in charge.
Of course, this series of measures is only tried in Guanzhong first, don't look at the 5,000 people, after being partially removed by the various halls, the remaining people, the establishment of the Guanzhong, and then sent to the locality, in fact, there are only a few people in each county, and there are at least several times the manpower behind the implementation of the comprehensive reform, because there are more than 1,000 states and counties in Datang except Guanzhong, and if the construction of the north develops quickly, more than 10 new counties will be added a year.
Therefore, in most other places, the Ministry of Agriculture still allows local officials to elect officials, chief officials and agricultural affairs, and many departments are also following the example of the Ministry of Agriculture, first get a clerk to lay a foundation, and when the comprehensive reform comes, the competent officials will be directly transferred to officials, which breaks the previous situation that officials are officials and officials are officials, and gives those officials who have no one to recommend and promote, and who are difficult to be officials, a chance to be promoted.
If the reform of a system benefits the majority of the people, then it can be implemented, and the reform of the official system of the imperial court, just like the previous reform of the civil system, since the high-class elements are reduced to the bottom class, it will touch the interests of the majority of the people, and it is difficult to achieve.
Then, it will be easier to elevate the bottom class elements to the high class.
The officials of the family gate valve system are still the original official positions, and on the surface, they are still in charge of the locality, but the imperial court has only added another set of supervision systems, so that he cannot do whatever he wants.
Promote a large number of people who were originally unable to stand out in society, to impact, disperse the authority in the hands of these magistrates, and give these low-level petty officials a protection system that can be supported independently of the locality, so that they will not be very good at these magistrates, everything is done officially, if you dare to be lawless, I will report you, because, if I support your lawlessness and cause any losses, the officials of my system will also come to investigate me.
This will force the local yamen to form an atmosphere of political discussion, because the county order can no longer mobilize all resources as it wants, and it needs to be approved by officials from other ministries and approved by officials from various ministries.
Sun Xiangfu, who returned home from the palace, was very worried that Wangjianglou would not send money to the harem this month, what kind of expression would the eldest grandson empress be, with the fees of Wangjianglou, the wine banquet of four or five thousand people, open to eat and drink, at least tens of thousands of expenses, enough to eat all the shares of the East Palace for a month.
However, when he was holding the child and teasing, he never wanted to do business.
"Husband, Red Sleeves and Li have gone to Weinan with their subordinates, will you set off with His Majesty's convoy tomorrow?"
"Well, by the way, those gloves, cotton socks and so on that His Majesty wants to reward the workers, are the happy villages ready?"
"Ready, hundreds of cars, it is said that there are more than a million pairs."
"Hey, it's good that you don't mention this number, when I mention it, I feel distressed, it's always our family to pay for the emperor to earn fame, it's not a thing."
"This kind of public voice can only be earned by His Majesty, and the reputation of the husband is enough, if you want to go further, it is not advisable to do anything other than write a book and speak it."
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was dumbfounded, sometimes, he still didn't have the ancients to understand this society, and when he saw Xiao Huanhuan in his arms, he yawned, Sun Xiangfu began to hold her and shake again, humming a unique lullaby in his mouth.
"Master, Li Shilang learned that you have returned to the house, and he came to the house to meet you with a son who is going to the north for an internship."
Speaking of this, in fact, it is Sun Xiangfu's own request, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate is independent of the Tang Dynasty, one of the largest administrative yamen, and more than ninety percent of the people under the rule are Hu people, the situation is very special, and the gap of officials is also very huge, just one subject of Ming Arithmetic, Sun Xiangfu wants 30 people, engineering and business, more than 100 people each, plus the rest of the subjects, the total number of people exceeds the number of more than 10% of the imperial examination.
And because there was no one in Chang'an except for himself, Sun Xiangfu entrusted Li Gongyan to take them to the welcome banquet, and later, some work arrangements were made by himself.
"Let's all sit in the living room! I'll come down later. ”
"No."
Soon, Sun Xiangfu put on his official robe again, and then went down to the large living room on the first floor, many students naturally recognized Sun Xiangfu, when he and Li Gongyan greeted him, the students spontaneously stood in a formation, and bowed down together, "Students meet Master Sun." ”
"Hehe, everyone is exempt! I hope that in two or three years, you will all be able to call yourself a subordinate in front of me. ”
Sun Xiangfu smiled and waved his hand, and walked towards the center of the living room, in order to let everyone hear what he said as much as possible, he had to let everyone form a circle.
"You are all in the current imperial examination, and your household registration is in the north, do you know why I want you to go to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Anbei for internships?"
"The students know that the Metropolitan Mansion of Anbei is located in the northernmost part of the Tang Dynasty, which is relatively cold, and the children of the south can't bear the weather over there at all." There is a young man who is relatively close to Sun Xiangfu.
Seeing his excited face, he was obviously looking forward to being able to go to the Anbei Metropolitan Hufu for an internship.
Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "You are right, the winter in Chang'an is already very cold, but the winter in Shanyang is colder than Chang'an, and Shanyang is only the warmest city in the territory of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Anbei. Over there, once it's winter, it's usually minus 10 degrees.
Oh, you may not understand the concept of minus 10 degrees, as long as you know, at 0 degrees, the water may freeze, and it may snow in the sky, and minus 10 degrees Celsius is a much, much colder weather than snow and ice.
So, are you ready to endure hardships in the bitter cold? ”
"We're ready," all the lifters replied.
They just got the opportunity to be officials, they were so easy to be agitated, cheering them up, and making them make some determinations, which was the purpose of Sun Xiangfu to summon them.
