How to govern a country, especially how to supervise rewards and punish officials, Xiong Jing, who has been the king for ten years, is not clear. He is more about judging the situation, that is, making decisions in the general direction, and then maintaining the internal balance - of course, this balance does not include the Song, Qu, Jing, and Zhao clans, which were close ministers of the former royal court, and he has given them the land of the city, and it is impossible to treat them as close ministers anymore. If they don't work hard, the clan will inevitably weaken.

With the dualistic system of the pre-Qin monarch and prime minister, he was a qualified king, and he did not understand the complicated operations in the Xiangbang Mansion, and he did not understand the meaning of the official positions of Da Nei, Shao Nei, Taicang Lingcheng, and Datian Lingcheng. Originally, he didn't need to understand these things, but in order to understand the enemy in depth, he had to learn it humbly.

After the establishment of the county system, the king naturally had to evaluate the chief officials such as the county governor, the county commander, and the county guard. Whether it is Qin County or Chu County, the benevolence, righteousness and morality of the officials will not be assessed, but hard dishes and dry goods. The simplest is the thirteen numbers of a strong country mentioned by Shang Ying: the number of warehouses (endowments) in the territory, the number of strong men and women, the number of old and weak, the number of officials, the number of people who eat by words, the number of people benefited, the number of horses, cattle, stalks, and weeds. In fact, it is not only the thirteenth number, there are more assessment contents in the Qin law, Chu law, and Qi law.

The content of the assessment is like this, and the specific method is: 'All officials and the people have asked about the so-called ...... of the decree of the main law, each of which is a ruler of six inches, and the year, month, day, hour, and the name of the law asked, so as to inform the officials. ......, that is, the left coupon to the official to ask the law, the official of the main law to hide the right coupon Mu Sheng, to hide it, to hide it, sealed with the long seal of the law. That is, if there is a thing, it will be engaged in with a coupon book. ’

At the beginning of their tenure, officials should meet with their immediate officials, county guards should meet with the monarch or the prime minister, and county officials should at least meet with officials from within the state. After the meeting, he was given a one-foot-six-inch long wooden coupon, also known as the left coupon, which was written: the geometry of the warehouse in the territory, the geometry of strong men and women, the geometry of the old and weak, and the geometry of cattle and horses.

If there is a left coupon, there will naturally be a right coupon. The right coupon is also the bottom account, the number is exactly the same as the left coupon, and when it is reported again at the end of the year, the two sides can reconcile. The monarch took the right coupon and asked: You have been an official for a year, and the geometry of the warehouse in the territory has increased, the geometry of strong men and strong women has increased, and the geometry of cattle and horses has increased......

In a normal year, the number on the coupon is definitely increasing, and the number of unlucky years is decreasing. However, if you are unlucky, your county should also be unlucky, why is his number increasing and your number decreasing? There are three situations for unwarranted reduction: either you are greedy for ink and keep the growth for yourself; Or you don't know how to govern at all, and the counties of the widow are handed over to you, and the more you govern, the less you will be; In the end, you did work hard and were very capable, but you were unlucky, and the widowed county was unlucky with you.

In the process of reporting for verification, the official with the greatest increase is called the 'most', that is, the first, and the official with the least increase or even no increase or decrease is called the 'palace', that is, the last one. Through comparison, the 'most' reward is promoted, and the 'palace' is rewarded with armor and shields, and even never hired, so Han Feizi will say in the "Lord's Way": 'The order of the contract', that is, 'the birth of reward and punishment'.

This set of assessment system is the upper calculation system, and the Zhisu Internal Officials' Office is in charge of the statistics of various figures in counties and towns across the country, which is equivalent to being in charge of the National Bureau of Statistics. These figures measure the strength of the country, and they are also related to the rewards and punishments for the promotion of officials. In order to facilitate the statistics, the Qin State set the time for the annual calculation in August in the country, and in August, all counties and counties should go to Xianyang to submit the calculation book for assessment.

When Xiong Jing entered Daliang, Zhang Cangzheng, who had become the Taicang Lingcheng because of his foolish tricks, was sitting in the secret room of the officials who governed Su, and he had just rejected the bribery temptation of the officials in the palace with righteous words, saying that he would never accept bribes. I don't take bribes, and I won't leave the secret room where the right coupon is hidden, and I hate the long officials with itchy teeth.

"Yu Lingcheng, today Liang sold goods for two hundred and nineteen gold." When it was getting dark, his servant ran in.

"Good!" Zhang Cang smiled happily, and after laughing, he asked, "Is there anyone in China who redeems gold?" ”

"Yes, someone in Sanchuan County exchanged fifty gold today."

The price of goods and gold in Qin has always been constant, and one gold can only be exchanged for more than 9,000 Qin and half taels. Zhang Cang persuaded Zhao Zheng to double it, one gold can be exchanged for more than 218,000 yuan for Qin's half, and it can be promoted to a knight for fifty gold. Of course, this method is better than Dong Yi's forbidden gold and silver, but in this way, it offends the top boss, and Zhang Cang can't take care of it in order to be an official.

After the decree was issued, no one paid the gold for several days, and today someone finally cashed it, although it was only fifty gold, which was a good start. Zhang Cang was even more smiling when he heard this, and praised him again and again. Zhang Cang was happy, but the assistant official was crying with a sad face, "The subordinate dares to ask, does Ling Cheng really want to stay in this room?" ”

"Why can't you stay in this room?" Zhang Cang was strange. "This order is responsible for the plan, how can I slack off."

"Ling Cheng is like this, but he has to block the way of other people's wealth." The assistant was even more upset.

"Even you want to lobby Ben Lingcheng?" Zhang Cang looked at this assistant officer carefully, of course he knew what this move meant when he stayed in the secret room. "The matter of this order to eat the king's Lu and loyalty to the king, is it comparable to the thieves and hamsters of their countries? Hum! ”

The assistant official is a private official who Zhang Cang has just promoted, and he is his person. I didn't think that this person who had just been promoted would also help those people speak, which made Zhang Cang very disappointed. As he flicked his sleeves and feigned anger, a voice came from outside, "Who is Ling Chengyan a national thief hamster?" ”

The person who spoke was Dong Yi, the official of Zhisu, and he was followed by Datian Ling Chengyixuan. Zhang Cang hurriedly bowed and said: "The subordinates lost their words, and the subordinates lost their words." ”

"Hamster may be arguably the ...... thief of this country" A stranger suddenly parachuted beside him, he was still a disciple of the great Confucian Xunqing, Dong Yi didn't like Zhang Cang very much. Today, the imperial history of Sanchuan County has impeached your enemy, and the merchants of the Great Liang only buy corn cloth, not silk jewelry. Thirty dollars a stone of millet must be sold for 32 million stone millet to get 100,000 gold, hehe......"

"The subordinates are terrified." Zhang Cang didn't dare to say anything, and he was accused of selling cheaply in Qutai Palace that day, and he tried to ask for millet or horses? If there is less corn, but the people have nothing to eat, and if there are fewer horses, the army will be short. This is a question of trade-offs, not of the enemy. He also took the initiative to undertake the task of raising 100,000 gold and raised enough money to buy horses.

"If you want to stay in this room, don't be cautious about the candles at night." Dong Yi ordered this, and without waiting for Zhang Cang's salute, he took Datian Ling Chengyi and left.

"Imperial impeachment, how should this be?" The official turned pale with fright, he was very worried that Zhang Cang was guilty, and he sat down even again.

"The king has agreed to this, what is there to fear?" Zhang Cang comforted him and comforted himself. "Again, if there is money today, there will be ten for one man, and ten for thousand. Fifty gold for one person, five hundred gold for ten people, and 50,000 gold for a thousand people, so why sell 32 million stone corn? ”
