Not to mention layoffs, not to mention the current Northern Wei era, even in later generations, once it is proposed, it is also mournful and panicked, and it is always going to smash people's jobs, who is not worried about their jobs being smashed? Or is the job bowl shrinking?

The expressions of all the post chiefs in the audience fell on Zhao Junsheng's eyes one by one, in later generations, he was often determined by others, but here he can decide the fate of others, but he does not have the slightest sense of pride, this era is always less than the employment opportunities of later generations, and it is not so easy to find another job after losing an errand.

Zhao Junsheng gave them a reassurance when everyone was nervous: "You don't have to worry, this time it is a withdrawal but no layoffs, the removed posts, the foundations and attached lands of the houses will be sold as much as possible, the post soldiers will be added to other posts, the post chiefs will also arrange other positions, and the post chiefs may also be transferred to each other!" ”

This is indeed a reassurance, and the post masters are a little relieved.

Zhao Junsheng continued: "Next, the second thing that the official will say is the rectification and rectification of the unhealthy tendencies in the following posts, the other day when the official went down to inspect the inspection, I have emphasized it to you again, today I emphasize again, how the rules and regulations are stipulated, how to implement, and to resolutely implement, the agency will send personnel to inspect from time to time, during the shift, desertion, gathering people to gamble, filling private pockets, public utensils for private use, etc., as well as poor livestock feeding, poor maintenance of houses, unclean ground and utensils, etc., If something goes wrong, not only will the post soldiers be punished, but you also have the crime of lax discipline as the post commander, and you will be demoted to a post soldier, or you will be whipped, imprisoned, or dismissed! ”

This can be regarded as a matter of three orders, the following post chiefs are all related, knowing that this is not a joke, no one has the mind to joke anymore, if something really happens, the upper panel is knocked down, then it will not be fun.

"Okay, let's talk about the third thing!" Zhao Junsheng took a sip of tea and continued, "It's a matter of opening up sources and reducing expenditures. Every year, the imperial court and the government allocate a large amount of money to our office to maintain the operation of each post for two purposes: first, to ensure that the edicts, recitals, and official documents of the imperial court, the higher-level government, the equal-level government, and the lower-level government can be transmitted to the destination as quickly as possible; Second, to provide food and lodging for officials, business travelers, and ordinary people who come and go! However, the money allocated by the agency to the posts is often insufficient, and some posts often cannot make ends meet, and the officials have also learned some of them after visiting and inquiring over these days, and the main reasons are as follows: first, a large part of the funds allocated have been withheld by some officials: second, the salaries of the post chiefs and post soldiers have also been deducted by some officials, and they are often underpaid; Thirdly, almost the vast majority of officials do not pay for room and board when they stay, they take it for granted, and this cost needs to be borne by each post, which is unreasonable! ”

A post commander couldn't help but stand up and said loudly: "Today's joining the army has made it clear, and his subordinates have also gone out to talk about their hearts." Every article that the military said is to the point, these are already the shortcomings of the Fa Cao Agency and the posts for many years, the subordinates and the brothers below are bitter, the family is counting on our salaries to live, the brothers' salaries are not complete, the wives and children have to be hungry, those who are officials come to our post to eat and drink, and they have to be served with good wine and meat, and they have to be scolded and beaten if the food is not good, and they don't give money after eating, drinking, and sleeping, and they just pat their butts and leave, and the brothers don't dare to ask for it, people are officials. You ask him for money? It's crooked! ”

The other post chiefs also talked nonsense, venting their grievances, dissatisfactions and complaints one by one.

After these people talked for a while, Zhao Junsheng stopped it in time, and he said: "The official heard your thoughts and dissatisfaction just now, and the official also felt that the current situation should be changed!" First of all, the official hereby guarantees that from this month onwards, no matter whose salary will be paid in full, and the amount allocated will also be in full place, if anyone's salary is not fully received, and the money allocated to each post is deducted, you can all go directly to the office to find the official, and the official will call the shots for you! ”

"Good!" One of the postmasters stood up and shouted loudly, clapping their hands, and the other postmasters applauded and applauded loudly.

Shi Jiagan, Cao Xianyun and Shi Peijin, as well as all the scribes in the office, were quite surprised when they saw this situation, they looked at Zhao Junsheng differently, and at the same time, they also began to worry in their hearts, the deduction of salaries and money was all done by them in secret, will this soldier find trouble for them, will they spit out everything they eat?

Zhao Junsheng pressed his hand again, and when the applause subsided, he continued: "Regarding the fact that the officials eat big brother and do not give money for accommodation in various posts, this official once again affirms here that this is unreasonable, and after you go back, hang a sign at the gate, which reads: It is natural to give money for eating and staying in the hotel; Give money first, and then stay in the hotel, don't give money, you won't be accepted! If any official asks you for trouble over this matter, you will say that this is what the official said, and it is the regulation of the Law and Cao Administration, and if they have any opinions, let them come to the official, and the official will see if they want to be embarrassed or shameless! ”

"Good!"

"Well, it's good to join the army!"

Zhao Junsheng is very clear that in this era, it is inevitable that the post station will play the role of both a post office and an inn hotel.

In ancient times, the population was small, and there were often no people for more than ten or twenty miles, and there were many bandits and robbers, and the law and order were very bad. Traveling to and from merchants, officials needed to rest, drink, eat, and lodging, but could not find a place to go, so they had to go to the post station. Why can I only go to the inn? Open a grocery store, restaurant, or inn on the roadside in the wilderness to see if you have the ability to keep it, there are often bandits and robbers who come to patronize, so it's strange that you can open it!

But the post station can exist for a long time, it is an officially established organization, there are post soldiers stationed, and ordinary two or three people dare to rob? So Zhao Junsheng didn't worry about whether there were any customers at the post station.

"I just talked about throttling, let's talk about open source! The idea of this official is to make use of the ancillary land around each post, try to use the materials and waste, build more houses, if it can be rented out to the local people, so that the local people can do a small business to support their families, the post station can also charge a little rent to supplement the expenses, if you can't rent out, you can also use it as a guest room, don't let these locations be wasted! ”

"This official made a promise to you when he went to inspect before, let you be bold, use your brains to find a way to make money, as long as you do not violate the rules and regulations, the agency is supported, sixty percent of the money earned will be handed over to the office, and forty percent will be left by you and the post soldiers, how to distribute it, it is up to you post commanders to decide! So, the more you earn, the more you get! ”

These ideas were also strongly supported by the post masters.

"Do you have any other thoughts on the matter of opening up sources and reducing expenditures? If you have any good ideas, you can put them forward, and if anyone can come up with a good idea, this official will be rewarded! ”
