Chapter 0126 Official Position
Therefore, Xu Lie is not short of the main government officials in various regions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info after all, the number of demands is not too much.
What Xu Lie really lacks is the personnel who do specific things, such as the director of the transportation bureau, who has to preside over the scale and construction of a place's transportation, which was the responsibility of officials of the Ministry of Industry in the past, but because Longguo attaches importance to culture, culture and education, and does not attach importance to science and engineering, there is a great shortage of qualified officials of the Ministry of Industry.
Fortunately, Xu Lie had already obtained access to the sea at this time, and he was ready to go to the ground in the south of the Yangtze River to dig people up.
Of course, there is no shortage of cultural or livelihood talents, and Lu Xiang has also made contributions. Due to Lu Xiang's previous lobbying, most of the squires and grassroots officials in the counties in Yimeng were willing to stay in Yimeng District.
From the squire's point of view, they are called squires because they are locals, educated and powerful locals, and these squires are the most reluctant to leave their homeland if they have to do so.
As for the grassroots officials of the county and the main class, most of them have their roots in the local area, and they are often born into local squires or wealthy families, and they are not willing to abandon their posts if they have to do so, let alone leave their hometowns.
Of course, the willingness of these people to stay is also closely related to the work that Lu Xiang has done before. According to Xu Lie's instructions, LĂź Xiang actually acted as an information channel, and at the same time gave these squires and grassroots officials an explanation.
For example, the Mengyin County Government retained a large number of old bureaucrats, although they were killed once by Xu Lie's two grenades, but later after Yang Shu served as the county magistrate, he actually gave all kinds of auxiliary officials.
So, do these old bureaucrats retained in Mengyin County have authority, how are they treated, and what is their status? Obviously, this was a matter of particular concern to the squires or the low-level officials of the Qing court who had not yet attached.
These things naturally have Lu Xiang to explain. For example, the Mengshan Army has new rules, it is not allowed to take money indiscriminately, it is not allowed to give and accept bribes, and the performance appraisal of officials is stricter. Of course, after the assessment is strict, the treatment is also good, for example, a squire as the mayor of the town, there is a salary of 10 taels of silver per month, and when the year-end assessment is qualified, there is also a reward, how to assess well, this bonus is very likely to be more than the salary.
Moreover, Meng Shanjun has set up a separate series for all kinds of management staff, which are clerks, section members, deputy chief staff members, chief staff members, senior staff members and other levels.
"And what level does Mayor belong to?" Naturally, someone will ask about this system.
"The mayor is an official, and he is both related to and distinct from the clerk. There is a connection, which means that the rank of the town mayor is equivalent to the chief clerk, and is at the same level as the director of the industrial bureau and the director of agriculture in the county; For example, if a person becomes the mayor of the town, his salary is actually divided into two parts, one part is the salary of the chief clerk, and the other part is the salary of the mayor. Lu Xiang is very familiar with this.
The mayor's salary is about 5 taels per month, and his salary is also about 5 taels. Of course, ordinary clerks, clerks, etc., because of their different positions, powers and responsibilities, will also have corresponding job salaries.
In this regard, Xu Lie has inspected the salaries of the public servants of the original time and space, strictly speaking, the salaries of the public servants of the original time and space have their unreasonable places, but at the same time they are reasonable, and Xu Lie is just taking their strengths.
One of the biggest irrationalities in the use of grassroots officials in the original time and space is that the county bureau chiefs have worked locally all their lives, participated in the police station, became a deputy director in their thirties, and was still the police chief before retirement. How much care can the director's family get?
In the practice of governance in the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years, the officials have been in a state of division, and the traditional concept of officials - officials above the county lord, the imperial court can do more than the official in a different place, but for the officials below the county lord, they are in disregard, basically the local officials, which leads to the situation that the county officials are not as good as the current management, and the evil officials often control the county government. Even the New Dragon Kingdom of the original time and space actually adopted this strategy, which proved to be a failure in local governance. Most of the distortions in local governance policies and laws are caused by such grassroots officials.
So, how do you break this cycle? The most important is the principle of "avoidance". For example, if you are the chief of police, but your family relatives are under your jurisdiction, then excuse me, please recuse yourself from being an official in another place, if you don't want to? Well, you can quit your job and do something else. If you're the mayor or deputy mayor and your family happens to be here, excuse me, but go to another town, right? If you don't want to go, hehe, don't mean that, please resign.
If this is done, won't it lead to a split in the family? The answer is no. In fact, there was a very good phenomenon of being an official in ancient times, that is, those who were officials had to take their families to take office, that is, if you go to other counties to be officials, you can also have a wife and daughter, and your wife and children will follow you wherever you go, and as for your family's housing, schooling, etc., you have your own rules.
As for the officials at the lower level, as long as they have administrative powers, they should adopt this system of evasion, and some people may say, is this not artificially causing them to leave their homes and leading to an increase in administrative costs? In fact, this kind of worry is not necessary at all, don't you know that how many college graduates from the original time and space have returned to their hometowns? Or would you like to return home?
And to adopt this kind of "avoidance" system for officials in different places, in Xu Lie's view, there is a greater benefit, that is, the people of Longguo attach too much importance to the concept of the countryside, and do not leave their hometown when they die old, this is the mentality of the agrarian society, which is very unfavorable to the industrial and commercial society that Longguo wants to be interested in, and the "avoidance" system is adopted, and the government civil servants begin to take the lead in "going out", which is conducive to the establishment of a new society.
The Dragon Kingdom is an official-based country, and this official-based position is not only at the level of governance, but also the psychological habits of the people for thousands of years, that is, the people obey the imperial power and obey the command of officials from the bones. This official position has become a stumbling block to social progress in the original time and space.
However, in Xu Lie's view, since the official standard cannot be eliminated in the country of Longguo, a country with deep feudal traditional thoughts, why not let the official standard play a positive role?
Including the "avoidance" system at the political level, including the change of customs and customs in terms of folk customs, including investment in economic life, industry and commerce, etc., but can all government civil servants be the first to lead the trend?
If not? That's good, if you don't want to, naturally someone will. In the Dragon Kingdom, there is no shortage of anything, and there is no shortage of people who want to be officials. Of course, Xu Lie can't do a one-size-fits-all approach, but should try his best to adapt to the situation.
