Everyone listened to Zhu Yijun's words and looked at the situation of the tax department, and they really didn't know what to say, especially Xu Wenchang, who was quite dumbfounded. It seems that the emperor didn't expect it, but planned it a long time ago.

Of course, Zhu Yijun had planned it a long time ago, and in order to avoid the appointment pass, Zhu Yijun also made these people famous.

For example, those Langzhong and the like, basically everyone has a meritorious name on their bodies, and basically other provinces also have it. Even many people from the inner factory have now become famous students in the local area.

The routine is basically very simple, that is, directly take the money and smash it, make a generous shot, and then find someone to tout and become famous.

After the whole set of operations, the inner factory has accumulated a lot of experience, and with some means, it is not effortless to give them a fame. When the Holy Decree is given, these people will be directly transformed into the local tax office.

"Okay, Wang Aiqing, you stay here to familiarize yourself with the situation, and I will go back to the palace first."

Zhu Yijun originally didn't want to come over today, but Xu Wenchang ran to find Zhu Yijun, and he wanted Xu Wenchang to take a look and explain that he would come slower after all. Leaving the yamen, Zhu Yijun took Xu Wenchang and Hai Rui back to the palace together.

"Your Majesty is really generous, it is amazing!" Xu Wenchang said with some emotion.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "Needless to say, it just so happens that the two Aiqing are here today, and I will talk to you about Daxing." I'm going to let the two Aiqing take office after the New Year, and I'm going to implement a new system. ”

When the two of them heard Zhu Yijun mention this matter, the expressions on their faces instantly became serious.

This system is called the "civil servant" system, and the official character of civil servant is taken from the world for the public. Zhu Yijun explained to the two of them with a smile: "I want to replace the officials with civil servants and eliminate all the officials in the yamen." ”

"Of course, if it is a good official, you can also be transferred to a civil servant."

"If you want to become a civil servant, first you have to have a reputation for showing talent, and then civil servants are paid every month, and I haven't thought about the specific amount yet, but there must be a salary." Zhu Yijun deliberately emphasized: "In the future, all the salaries of civil servants will be paid by the imperial court, not by the officials themselves." ”

Zhu Yijun is very disgusted by this, when the county order takes office, he needs to hire a large number of people, from the master to the official servant, and even the chariot and horse have to be prepared by the county order.

The income of the Ming officials was very low, and they couldn't afford to support these people at all, so the apportionment and fire consumption came. In this respect, it was a kind of corruption that the court tacitly took, which led to corruption on a larger scale.

Zhu Yijun is going to block this road, and he can't let them take money from it.

is talking about those officials, there is no hope of promotion, once they do it, they will be a lifetime, officials who run water, officials who beat them with iron, these people make trouble for the place, and do everything for money. They themselves are inferior, looked down upon, and there is nothing they can do but make money.

"Civil servants are divided into three levels, and they are assessed every year, and those who are higher in the assessment are promoted, those who are in the middle of the assessment are repeated, and those who are inferior in the assessment are demoted. Those who are promoted to the third level of civil servants, and the fourth year of assessment is still superior, can be promoted to officials. ”

This road must be opened so that it will be attractive to the show.

Zhu Yijun's policy is aimed at the talent of the Ming Dynasty, or the poor talent. In fact, the moth-eating class of the Da Ming people is mainly concentrated in lifting people, rather than showing talents.

Compared with Jinshi, who can be an official, it is basically not a big thing to raise people as officials, so he simply does not become an official. With a series of tax exemption policies from the imperial court, it is better to be a rich man at home. Land, money, food, women, what you want.

With high status, big face, and many preferential treatments, and they do not seek to be promoted as officials, a large part of these people will become gentry moths.

What does Xiucai have, what does the poor Xiucai have? There is nothing, most of the poor scholars are struggling at this stage, and these people are the people that Zhu Yijun's civil servants want to include. Through the examination system, a group of people who can be used are selected.

Although Zhu Yijun also wants to change the current imperial examination system and train qualified officials, it is not an overnight thing.

Replace the officials with civil servants, and at the same time select more talents from the show, and split the relationship between civil servant officials and Jinshi officials, so that everyone is not crazy about pursuing the fame of Jinshi, so that there are many benefits.

The Ming Dynasty has been established for so many years, and the imperial examination has been held for so many years, how many talents have been accumulated?

The elderly Zhu Yijun is not afraid, as long as he can do things, this is also the reason why Zhu Yijun chose Hai Rui as the county magistrate. Any civil servant who can persevere under Hai Jui, and get a superior rating, can definitely be used.

Glancing at Hai Rui, Zhu Yijun sighed in his heart: "Hai Rui is really a strong man, he can do this kind of thing." ”

"That Hai Aiqing, you can write a code of conduct for civil servants, modeled on your "Constitution of the Governor", write down all the personal ethics and what you need to abide by, and show it to me after writing, and the civil servant examination will be based on this in the future."

Zhu Yijun is not at all worried that this civil servant policy will not be implemented.

Although the court is all about Jinshi, how many Jinshi are there and how many are Xiucai? As soon as this policy comes out, it will definitely be welcomed by Xiucai, and Zhu Yijun doesn't believe that any official dares to stand up against it.

Whether it is studying or being an official, it is a good name to promote the backwards, but blocking the road of civil servants is equivalent to cutting off their road to promotion.

Although I am worried in my heart, no one dares to do it, because once you do it, then you will wait to be scolded!

As soon as Hai Rui heard that the emperor asked him to formulate a code of conduct for civil servants, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will formulate it when he returns." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with satisfaction: "Two Aiqing, the new Daxing County will be the benchmark of the county in the world in the future, we must do a good job, and before the two Aiqing arrive, we must improve and formulate the system as soon as possible." ”

Although Zhu Yijun doesn't want to use those talents, in fact, if you don't use you, no one can use them.

The Ming Dynasty is so big and needs so many people, if you rely on your own training, it will take too long, and now these scholars who rely on the imperial examination, you have no way to continue to arrange them.

Zhu Yijun has always remembered his identity, he is a reformer, not a revolutionary. Revolutionaries and reformers are not the same, revolutionaries are broken and rebuilt, and reformers themselves are vested interests.

Who is the biggest vested interest in the world, of course, it is himself, the Ming Emperor.

How to make the Ming Dynasty better and richer and stronger without shaking the foundation of the rule is what you should do. It's okay to touch interests, but you can't push vested interests into a hurry.

In the absence of a new class, he must rely on these people to consolidate his rule.

However, looking at the attitudes of Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang, it is obvious that these two people have a much better attitude towards scholars than towards Xu officials. The matter was thus settled, and the two of them went back to study and formulate a code of conduct for civil servants.

After the two of them left, Zhu Yijun also breathed a sigh of relief, now that the layout is complete, the rest is to implement.

It is easy to formulate a policy, but the real implementation and implementation is the difficulty, not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, in later generations, there are fewer things that violate yin and yang. From the introduction of a policy to the implementation, there are fewer things that change the taste in the end?

The matter of the Daming Tax Division inevitably spread, which made many people's eyes fall to the ground.

The establishment of a new yamen so quickly surprised everyone, but what surprised them was still to come. Because the emperor's decree has come again, the next order is to establish tax departments in all provinces of the country.

The status of the provincial-level taxation department is the same as that of the probationary department and the political envoy department, which is controlled by the governor, but it is also managed by the Daming Taxation Department, which is considered dual management. After this action came out, overnight, tax offices in various places sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The yamen was quickly put up and the personnel were quickly put in place, so that the officials all dropped their jaws.

With the transfer of Jinyiwei's manpower to the Tax Division, the tax servants with "tax" written on their bodies suddenly spread all over the entire Ming Dynasty, which was unexpected. No one expected things to go so fast, so suddenly.

Cabinet.

The atmosphere of the entire cabinet yamen has not been very good these days, and some time ago because of the matter of Yang Shiyin, it was a little unpleasant.

However, this kind of thing has passed, and it will not be tense all day long, but everyone also knows that the contradiction between Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing has not been reconciled. There must be one of these two who is leaving, and most are not very optimistic about Shen Shixing.

In Shoufu's duty room, Chen Wei and Zhang Siwei sat together to roast the fire.

The flame in the charcoal basin was not big, but the temperature was not low, and the two sat together, Chen Wei's face obviously had a trace of sadness.

"Why do you have to do this!" Zhang Siwei glanced at Chen Wei and said with a smile: "Although there is no trouble, but you have entered the cabinet, our goal has been achieved, but we all underestimated Your Majesty!" ”

In fact, whether it was Shen Shixing's side or Zhang Siwei's side, they didn't expect Zhu Yijun to have such a hand.

In their opinion, the matter of Yang Shiyin will definitely set off a struggle, and in the process of implementation, there will definitely be opposition voices in the local area. Shen Shixing's side will take this opportunity to counterattack Zhang Siwei.

Zhang Siwei also wanted to take this opportunity to depose a group of ministers from various places and replace them with his own people.

In the past, this kind of thing has happened countless times, and the most recent one is Zhang Juzheng's settlement field and test method. In order to achieve his goal, Zhang Juzheng carried out a major purge of the ranks of officials.

Whether it is the six cabinet departments, or the local governors, or even the prefects and counties, they have all been replaced by people who support him.

Although some of these people support Zhang Juzheng's policies, and some are simply for promotion, these people do support Zhang Juzheng. This time, Yang Shiyin made Zhang Siwei see the opportunity and become the next Zhang Ge Lao.

It's just that Zhu Yijun's approach caught Zhang Siwei off guard, and his plan was directly stillborn.
