This time, Xu Yang also had to go to Linjiabao with Zhuang Qian.

Therefore, after learning the news, Xu Yang felt both excited and a little reluctant.

After all, they have been carefully cared for in the past ten days, and the relationship between them has become deeper and deeper.

But this kid understands things very well, and knows that the reason for leaving them temporarily is to learn their skills well, so that they can stay by Li Yihe's side for a longer time in the future, so he didn't show any reluctance.

On the contrary, it was like tears in his eyes because of this, and he was a little reluctant to leave.

After all this, Li Yi began to calculate the funds again.

Although he donated 70,000 taels of silver this time and gave Lin Qingliang 10,000 taels, Li Yi still had 43,000 taels in his hand.

The construction of the secret camp and the food and drink of the orphans have been handed over to Lin Jiabao 30,000 taels of silver, and there are still 13,000 taels of silver left.

Li Yi plans to set aside some of the money to set up a charity called the Tzu Chi Association.

In the name of the government, he spent 900 taels of silver to buy a large house facing the street.

Hired the old man to return to his hometown, the former post house post Cheng Du Ran served as the president, recruited some local scholars who were interested in charity, and soon formed the largest local charity.

The first phase of the Tzu Chi Association has reached 8,000 taels, all of which were donated in the name of Li Yi.

Next, Li Yi's mind shifted to various affairs in Yunnan.

In this era, the so-called officials actually did not have a proper vacation system, except for major festivals, illnesses and family ceremonies, the so-called rest time was also very limited.

The rest of the time is spent on official business, and a lot of complicated affairs and meetings take up valuable rest time, and the work is not much more productive.

In order to change this problem of superfluous and inefficient people.

Li Yi and Lin Yi discussed many times, and after several drafts, they finally formulated the 'Yunnan Government Office Regulations' that standardize the management procedures of official affairs. The specific content is:

The first is the conference system, in which in the future meetings will be held only once a month for all aspects of affairs, and they will be carried out in different categories, and all issues will no longer be discussed in one meeting.

For example, military councils are held on the third day of each month. Economic meetings are held on the sixth day of each month; The civil council is held on the ninth day of each month; Medical meetings are held on the 20th of each month; Educational meetings are held on the 21st of each month; The Legal Council is held on the 22nd of each month; A summary meeting of the month is held on the 30th of each month, and the work of the next month is deployed.

In case of emergency, the Xuanfu envoy shall order it, and the head of the Xuanfu Embassy shall be responsible for convening it, and a targeted emergency meeting may be held.

The chief officers of other counties and customs defenses should go to Ningzhou every three months to report to the Xuanfu envoys.

Report on the development plans of various localities, military conditions, and people's conditions, and listen to the instructions and arrangements of the propaganda envoys and various functional departments, and make arrangements for the next step.

At the end of each year, the Liucao officials of the Xuanfu Embassy go to various places to check the achievements and voices of local officials, as well as the progress of specific work arrangements.

The second is the work and vacation system, which starts at 3 o'clock in the morning, rests for one hour at noon, and ends in the afternoon until 3 o'clock.

In special cases, the main secretary of the Xuanfu Embassy will announce the adjustment of working hours.

During working hours and during the lunch break, no one is allowed to drink alcohol and entertain or do anything unrelated to work.

The working hours are 27 days per month, and the rest of the time is left by the person applying for leave according to his or her personal circumstances.

Except for major festivals, you can apply for 16 consecutive days off.

The second is the official appointment and dismissal system, and officials above the seventh rank are nominated by the Xuanfu envoy and declared for appointment by the imperial court according to the old system.

When dismissed, the Xuanfu envoy can be directly removed from office according to the situation, and then report to the imperial court for approval.

Officials below the seventh rank shall be directly appointed and dismissed by the Xuanfu envoy and reported to the imperial court for the record.

Other personnel without grade shall be appointed and dismissed by the local chief official and reported to the Xuanfu Embassy for the record.

Finally, there is the system of rewards and punishments, in accordance with the principle that meritorious service must be rewarded and faults must be punished, and regulations on meritorious deeds and punishments have been adopted.

Reward meritorious personnel, and appropriately punish dereliction of duty, negligence, improper acts, omissions, and other such conduct.

In particular, the punishment for those who engage in fraud, dereliction of duty, retaliation, and favoritism should be doubled, and those who have a very bad impact and cause very serious losses may be directly sentenced to death by signing an order by the Xuan Fu envoy.

The above system draws on the old system of the past, and also mixes some modern ideas of Li Yi, which is the product of the combination of the two eras.

Of course, Li Yi is not an expert in this area, and there are many unreasonable settings, and he does not have the ability to integrate and improve it.

Is it reasonable to exist? In this era, there must be products that are in line with the spirit of this era.

If you want to completely abandon it, it is not a matter of self-control.

The system has been established, but in order to ensure its implementation, there must be a certain organizational guarantee.

However, at present, in addition to the necessary supervision system of the central court, there is still a gap in this area at the local level.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Li Yi found that this kind of monitoring system could not be established casually.

The reason for this is that, first of all, the imperial court did not authorize the local government to establish such a system, nor did it authorize the local government to do so at will, and no dynasty delegated the power of supervision, which is the limitation of this historical period.

Second, once such a supervision system is in place, it will inevitably touch the interests of some powerful departments, and it will certainly be secretly resisted by various localities and departments, and its role will be greatly reduced.

Thirdly, if such a system is established without corresponding checks and balances, power will expand indefinitely.

Just like the Jinyiwei established in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, its development direction may deviate at that time, and even have major disastrous consequences.

Although there are so many side effects, without it it it is impossible to ensure that the use of power at all levels is correct and effective, nor can it meet the needs of fighting corruption and restraining power.

Therefore, Li Yi and Lin Yi thought about it for several days, and finally decided to set up a merit examination department in the yamen of the Xuanfu Embassy Mansion, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the main body.

The grade of the chief official of his department who joined the army is tentatively set as the eighth grade, and he Shoujie is temporarily concurrently serving as the secretary of the army.

The personnel of its department are all drawn from other departments, and the selected officials are all strict and strict in their work style.

There is another problem that also plagues Li Yi, that is, most of the county orders in each county are currently vacant.

Except for Zheng Wenzhong, the county magistrate of Huize County, who actually granted the county magistrate, and Qian Cong acted as the magistrate of Dongchuan County, the affairs of other counties were temporarily handled by the county chief register.

Moreover, the level of each county in Yunnan belongs to the lower county, and the county order is only from the grade of the seventh grade, although Li Yi has the right to directly appoint him.

However, because he did not know much about the candidates in each county, he had not had the opportunity to contact them, which was the main reason why he had not made up his mind to appoint them.

Besides, Li Yi also wants to cultivate a group of newcomers he can trust so that he can use them for his own use, so he has to observe for a while.

In addition, Zhong Xu and Lin Tong have been nearly two months since they set off, but the imperial court has not issued an edict for a long time, which also makes Li Yi a little uneasy.

It is said that in the event of such a major event as quelling the rebellion, the imperial court will definitely get in touch with Yunnan in time, and there should be an explanation anyway.

But the delay in getting the attitude of the imperial court really made Li Yi a little puzzled, and even old officials like Jian Zheng and Qian Shitang didn't understand what was going on.

And Li Yi finally sent a few people to the capital to inquire about the news, but there has been no reply so far, so all he can do now is to wait silently.
