Chapter 1274: Recruiting Officials
readx; When it became clear that the new prefect was a dime a dime and really didn't plan to give them a penny salary, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion didn't do it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info thought to himself, don't talk about this dynasty, even from the day there was an official mansion, how could anyone in the yamen work for nothing and not take money? If the court does not come out, the officials will have to decide, otherwise who will collect the taxes and who will take care of the public security?
Even the most famous Qing official of this dynasty, Hai Rui "Hai Qingtian" of the Jiajing Dynasty, is pedantic to the point of really having a clean breeze on his sleeves, whether it is fire consumption or "kicking the tip of the fire", he still gets the monthly salary of the officials in the yamen. So much so that when he was the magistrate of the county, he had to let his wife grow vegetables by herself in the backyard of the county government, and even the old mother bought two catties of pork for her birthday became big news.
But this Yan Governor didn't know what to think, and he didn't even abide by the rules that had been established for hundreds of thousands of years. The leaders of the scribes in the sixth room secretly exchanged glances with each other, and the leader of the clerk's room took the lead in standing up and giving a deep salute, and said slyly and slightly threateningly: "Taizun, the villain's family has a large population, both old and young, and they all have to be supported by the villain. In the past, although the salary in the yamen was meager, life could still be handled. According to what Taizun said, the villain can't stay, it's better to go to the street to sell vegetables, at least he can make a living. ”
As soon as he took the lead, many scribes and officials also followed suit, saying that they would stop doing it if they didn't give money. This trick is called retreat as advance, and they thought to themselves, even if you are a prefect and an official, you can't play a bachelor to urge food and play the board by yourself, right? Don't you still have to use us people? Maybe it's just that you don't want to take money out of your pocket, and it's not easy. Xu is this old man Yan has just become the prefect, and he still doesn't know the doorway inside, just wait for him to slowly penetrate it in the future, everyone will make a fortune in a muffled voice, and everyone will be happy, wouldn't it be good?
Unexpectedly, Yan Ermei immediately said aloud: "Very good! Anyone who just said that he wanted to leave the yamen will be approved by the government, and you can now leave the yamen and go back to your own home! ”
At this time, everyone couldn't help but stare at each other, and they were all stupid. But after thinking about it, this new Taizun may be two hundred and five, and he doesn't know that he can't do it without us, and when he actually does something, he will know that sooner or later he will have to invite us back. Therefore, the leaders of several rooms of scribes took the lead, and dozens of people hulala withdrew from the hall, and in a blink of an eye, the hall became deserted.
However, the officials can't be generalized, after all, there are also loyal and honest people, and there are still a dozen scribes and officials who have not left. Yan Ermei asked them why they didn't leave, they hesitated and said that they wanted to leave, and they felt that Taizun had just arrived, so they picked on their faces and looked inauthentic, at least they had to settle the work at hand clearly.
Yan Ermei laughed and said, "Okay, this mansion is to use conscientious people like you!" Don't go, now Shengming, even an ordinary person can't bear to let him starve, and he has to find ways to solve his livelihood problems, will he treat you people who work directly for the court? What this government said just now was just a deliberate temptation, but I didn't expect so many people to be tempted, so that this government would leave without saying a word. Don't be in a hurry, isn't it time to pay your salary? If you do things well, the Holy One will have a decree in the future, and this government will act according to the decree, and it will never treat you badly. ”
Yan Ermei's words were equivalent to giving everyone a reassurance, and everyone turned their worries into joy, and sighed in their hearts that the world has really changed now, and honest people always suffered losses in the past, but this time they really didn't suffer.
Then Yan Ermei immediately ordered the people to do two things: first, seal all the account books, and send a special person to take care of them, and no one was allowed to read them on secondment without the consent of the prefect; Then all the people went to the street to post notices, and the contents of the notices were three: first, the emperor's grace was vast, and the people of Kaifeng were exempted from forced labor for three years; Second, set up a porridge factory outside the Kaifeng Mansion; Third, the government recruits officials, young and old, with no restrictions on their backgrounds, and those who are interested will come quickly, and they will be hired immediately after passing the assessment, and they will be on the same day!
As soon as the notice was posted, the people of the whole city were in a stir. You must know that during the occupation of Kaifeng by the rebels, there was not a single household of the people that was not looted, almost all the valuable things that could be seen on the surface were looted, even the houses were picked up to defend the city, and there was hardly a grain of grain left. If it weren't for the official army breaking through Kaifeng, I am afraid that there would soon be a situation of large-scale starvation death.
And now the notice of Kaifeng Mansion has stabilized the mood of the people in a timely manner. Of course, it is a good thing to be exempted from forced labor, but the most important thing is that with the government-run porridge factory, you will not starve to death. However, many people are still worried that the scale of the porridge factory is limited, and it will be gone if it is not their turn to eat, so they have rushed to the government to see what is going on.
As for the recruitment of officials from the government, the people still have a wait-and-see attitude. Because for many years, there are those people in the public gate, and they are all powerful in the city, can ordinary people go to compete with them for jobs?
Less than half an hour after the notice was posted, there was already a sea of people outside the palace. Some of them were ruffians and hooligans, deliberately pushing around the crowd and shouting, trying to create chaos and take advantage of the opportunity to grab food.
But they used this trick in the wrong place today. Zhu Youzhen has ordered the First Division to temporarily take charge of maintaining order in the city, although it may not be possible for these officers and soldiers to let them go to the battlefield now, but it is enough to deal with the ruffians and hooligans. A group of officers and soldiers were heavily guarded around the government office, and when they found the troublemakers, they immediately pulled them out, and in a short time they pulled out more than a dozen ruffians, tied ropes and ropes to the ground, and of course, punches and kicks were indispensable. The ruffians and hooligans are all bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, seeing this situation, who dares to move?
Seeing that the crowd had calmed down, Yan Ermei stood in a small open space outside the mansion and said loudly: "Fathers! This official is the new prefect of Kaifeng, Yan Ermei..."
As soon as he said this, the people knelt down and kowtowed. The rules of this era are like this, even Qipin Zhixian is still called "parent official", not to mention the prefect?
Yan Ermei hurriedly waved around and said, "Fathers, please excuse me!" Presumably you have also heard that the emperor's grace is vast, exempting the people of Kaifeng Mansion from forced labor for three years. Moreover, the Holy Lord also specially allocated a part of the military rations and ordered the government to open a porridge factory, and not to teach a single person to starve to death, otherwise he would have to ask the official question..."
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
I don't know who shouted first, and then the people were moved to tears. Since the prefect has said so, it seems that the whole family has been saved!
Yan Ermei also burst into tears with tears in her eyes, and raised her arms and shouted: "The top priority at the moment is to open the porridge factory as soon as possible. However, there is an urgent shortage of officials in the yamen, and the government must first recruit a group of officials, so that the porridge factory can be opened in an orderly manner and no one will starve. The government stated in advance that there is no salary to be this servant, and it is your turn to eat after everyone else has eaten. If you don't have a warm heart for your neighbors, and if you are not a person who is anxious for justice and righteousness, you don't want to come. Are there any applicants? ”
