Li Longji looked at Li Hong and asked, "You say that the current assessment system is not suitable?" ”

Li Hong shook his head and said, "It's not that it's inappropriate, it's that there are some things that need to be improved. The current official evaluation is mainly for the people of the Yushitai to go to inquire about the official's reputation and whether there are unjust, false and wrongful cases. Erchen felt that this method needed to be supplemented. ”

Li Longji put down the fold in his hand and asked with interest, "Oh? Hong'er, tell me, how do you need to improve? ”

Li Hong was still a little timid in front of Li Longji, but seeing Li Longji's encouraging eyes, Li Hong said unhurriedly: "Erchen thinks that the most important thing in assessing an official is not his morality, but whether he has done practical things for the people and whether he is in charge of the people. It can be investigated from the income of the people under the jurisdiction. For example, the average income of the whole county this year is 50 yuan, and next year it will be 60 yuan, which proves that this official has increased the income of the people. ”

"If the income is reversed without a disaster, it means that the official has not done a good job, or that he has not done a good job. In addition, a red line can be formulated, for example, the number of people who can solve the problem of food and clothing is online, and then the number of people below the red line can be surveyed every year. If the people are still in dire straits under the rule of an official, then what is the use of this official, no matter how high his moral character is? At best, he is just a fame fisherman. ”

Li Longji fell into deep thought, and only after a while sighed and said, "Don't spread this in advance, I need to discuss it with a few ministers." Some of the current officials are indeed too arrogant, always doing some superficial things, seemingly loyal, but in fact they are traitors. Hong'er can think of this, she has really grown up, and I am very relieved! ”

Li Hong said embarrassedly: "This is actually what a certain uncle Liu Hao said, but he only said a few words, he said that a certain has now become a prince, and many things need to be considered by himself, he will mention at most two sentences in the future, and he will not tell a certain person about everything like before." Father, son and son become princes, is it destined to lose family affection? ”

Li Longji smiled and shook his head: "Idiot, Liu Hao is helping you." In the future, you will be the emperor of a country, how can you make hasty decisions because of one person's words and deeds? Liu Hao is right to do this, you need to have your own ideas. In the future, follow the court, listen to the words of those ministers, some of them are really for the sake of the court, and some are speaking for their own interests. You need to tell the difference. Loyal and traitorous ministers, you can know if you think about it. ”

Li Hong nodded: "Erchen understands!" ”

Li Longji looked at Li Hong sitting still, and asked curiously, "Is there anything else?" ”

Li Hong said embarrassedly: "I don't know if my father is sure about the officials who go to Jinyang?" Erchen wanted to nominate a few people. ”

Li Longji's face sank: "Liu Hao's people? ”

Li Hong shook his head, took out a note from his arms and handed it forward: "No, it's Erchen's people." This is the list, please take a look at it. ”

Li Longji looked at it, and his face was much better. He raised his hand and took the pen and crossed out the names of several people on it, and then said: "Those who have not crossed out can go, and these people who have crossed out are either incapable or like money, and are not suitable to establish prestige." Hong'er, I don't object to you interacting with courtiers, but some people want to get the opportunity to display their talents through you, but there are also people who have other purposes, you have to distinguish between them. These need to be understood by you, no matter how much others say, if you don't understand it, it will be in vain. ”

The autumn harvest is coming, and there is a busy scene everywhere outside the city. In order to help the peasants complete the autumn harvest as soon as possible, many city defense soldiers, under the leadership of their respective commanders, went deep into various villages to help the peasants. This is a regulation that Li Jie has made since the beginning of his tenure, firstly, he is sincere in helping these people, and secondly, it is also to collect agricultural taxes as soon as possible. Food is related to the lifeblood of the imperial court, and no official dares to be sloppy in this point, many officials personally go into the fields to help, and the officials and the people are surprisingly harmonious.

Liu Hao rode on a horse, and saw the scene in front of him with a little disbelief, are these still the actions of the ancient scholar class? If an official really works in the field, even if those officials in later generations are just doing it, no one will really work, because in the eyes of those officials, this is completely a move to lose his identity.

Liu Hao remembers very well that after a blizzard one winter, when he passed by a county town, he saw a group of people dressed as officials shoveling snow around a pile of snow on the side of the road, next to several TV station personnel carrying cameras. Behind them, the snow on the road had been flattened by passing cars, but no one cared. All they have to do is try to be as hard as possible in front of the camera and look real.

Xiao Liu walked next to Liu Hao and whispered: "In the past, during the autumn harvest, the old lady would also go to work in the fields. Alas, a plague, hundreds of people in my Liu family are all gone. ”

Liu Hao didn't speak, and when he mentioned the plague, he remembered Bai Jingjing. I don't know where this girl ran away, but she didn't even have any news. Liu Hao is not worried about her safety, he just misses her. is a fairy-like person, and he is willing to fall into the mortal dust for himself. Liu Hao found that he and Bai Jingjing actually didn't talk much often, and because of Bai Jingjing's personality, the time the two spent alone together was not much, but the woman Liu Hao relied on the most was Bai Jingjing.

Baguio participates in the management of the Liu family's industry, Liu Hao is mainly at ease, and Baguio is thoughtful, and he can see more than him, the small owner of the piano store, in many places. But Bai Jingjing's feeling to Liu Hao is peace of mind. As long as Bai Jingjing is there, Liu Hao can sit back and relax. Bai Jingjing doesn't pay attention to her actions so much, and if she is not good for Liu Hao or the Liu family, she will kill them directly, without considering the consequences at all, and she doesn't have to think about the consequences, if anyone has an opinion, just continue to kill.

Now that Bai Jingjing is gone, Liu Hao always feels that everything is boring. In the past two days, Princess Yuzhen has sent someone to invite Liu Hao several times, but Liu Hao has excused herself. With his eldest sister-in-law OOXX, Liu Hao always felt a little sorry for Doudou, although the two were not related by blood. There is no impermeable wall in this world, and it is easy to do it when you are having a good time, but if you are besieged by courtiers, maybe someone will jump out and expose it. At that time, not only Liu Hao, but even Princess Yuzhen will be in crisis.

A group of people rode horses and walked on the concrete road, wandering around very casually. Liu Hao didn't know where he was going, the city was too depressing, so he wanted to come out to breathe. The leaves outside the city have begun to turn yellow, but it is not yet the time for the "boundless falling trees", so there is not much sadness to sigh, but the hearty laughter of the farmers in the farmland on both sides of the road adds a lot of harvest joy to this calm scene.

Liu Hao said to Xiaoliu: "In a few days, you can take someone back to Xinxiang City and worship my ancestors on my behalf." ”

Xiao Liu was stunned when he heard this: "Why did the young master remember to go back to Xinxiang City?" ”

Liu Hao said to him calmly: "Xinxiang is now my fiefdom, of course I have to rebuild it." This time, I will also go with you the engineers of the military academy, who will help me replan the layout of Xinxiang City, and will rebuild a larger cement kiln there. When the cement began to be fired, it was the time for Xinxiangcheng to rise again. ”

Xiaoliu looked at Liu Hao with a face full of surprise: "The young master is saying that he wants to rebuild Xinxiang City?" In that case, will we be able to move back to our hometown? No matter how good Luoyang is, I always feel that something is missing, we will always be guests here, as long as Xinxiang is our home. ”

Liu Hao smiled: "I don't read much, but I'm starting to feel sad." Don't think about it, I don't know when I will be able to build it when I go back this time, and it is not certain that His Majesty will let our whole family leave. Maybe I'm the only one who has gone over, and my family is all staying in Luoyang. No matter what time it is, the emperor is always suspicious, and they will choose the safest way to discipline their courtiers, rather than pinning their hopes on their self-awareness. ”

Xiao Liu was immediately unhappy when he heard this: "If this is the case, then the young master should simply resign and go into hiding, so as to save him from suspicion." Our Liu family has been of great help to the entire imperial court, and we are still suspected of having ulterior motives, and sure enough, there has not been a good emperor since ancient times. If the young master leaves Luoyang, will the ladies agree? ”

Liu Hao smiled: "I will agree, and it's not like I won't come back, after settling down there, I will be lazy and run back, anyway, I'm an idle job, and few people take care of it." The military academy has Li Yi in charge, and Gao Shi, Lu Yue and others help me, even if I am not there, there will be no chaos in the military academy. And that's what His Majesty would like to see. ”

Xiao Liu said indignantly: "Relying on the young master, but suspicious of the young master everywhere, such an emperor doesn't follow." Isn't he afraid that his courtiers will really rebel with a cold heart? ”

Liu Hao shook his head: "He did this because he was afraid of rebellion." Even if I have any disobedience, at least most of the people in the military academy will stand with Li Yi, because Li Yi is a lot higher than me in terms of reputation and qualifications. Later, after Li Yi installed his own people in the military academy, his control over the military academy became more thorough. ”

Xiao Liu muttered: "Isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." ”

Liu Hao smiled faintly: "Anyway, I have no intention of rebelling, just do what they do." Actually, I prefer to be idle, I don't care about these official positions or anything. What I want to do most is to be a rich man in peace, and I have never thought about being an official. As a result, it backfired, and I not only became an official, but my official position was not small. The world is unpredictable, maybe that's what it says. ”

In fact, Liu Hao hasn't finished speaking, it's about the fact that he has crossed, which is the real unpredictable thing in the world. As a future generation, fame and fortune are not important, the important thing is to be with your beloved and enjoy this great river and mountain that has not yet been polluted. Liu Hao has already made up his mind in his heart, when Lilac comes back, he must take his family around, at least all the places he has not traveled in his previous life must be visited.
