Chapter 975: Recommend Luo Bingzhang

Even if Cixi is revengeful again, it is useless now, the precious son next to him has completely dragged him down, he has just been born, how can he get out?

He Tengjiao stabilized Cixi in the United States, as for those courtiers, they directly gave the Empress Dowager's decree, and now the imperial court has escaped outside the customs, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the Chinese Empire was established. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The courtiers who got the queen mother's will are even more at a loss, the country has changed, how can this be good? Since ancient times, only by occupying the Central Plains, Fang is orthodox, the original court can only live in a corner now, the new court has risen, but now it can't be said that the new court has been recognized by all the people?

The ministers of the entire visiting group insisted on their own words and argued endlessly, and the queen mother did not come forward, so they could only go to their own families and find their own mothers.

Guo Ye, who sent Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang away, put his mind completely on the government at this time, the new country was established, and there were too many things to deal with.

The 18 provinces in Guannai have too many redundant personnel, so that the bureaucrats below have developed the bad habit of being superficial, and at the same time they are wasting a large amount of the state's finances, which will do more harm than good, and it is necessary to start as soon as possible and rectify the government.

Historically, the elimination of redundant personnel has been the most troublesome thing for the government, and there are a large number of redundant personnel who need to be resettled.

This time, Guo Ye did not issue an order to directly abolish the organization, but to carry out a large-scale personnel reform.

"Bochen, the difficulty of this reform is not small, you have to be prepared in your heart!"

Guo Ye said in a deep voice.

Guo Songtao nodded, such a big change is really unheard of, I originally thought that it was just the central government that had changed, but now it seems that it is far more than that, Your Majesty is going to even reform the local government!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will first tell you about my ideas, we are discussing, first, fix the four-level administrative system of the country, that is, the central government, provinces, governments, counties, provincial-level divisions remain unchanged, what we want to change is the following, revoke all the roads in the country, whether it is a sub-patrol road, a separate guard road, or a military road, a grain platform, all of them are revoked, the powers and responsibilities are merged into the central ministries or provinces, and all the Taoists are called into the capital for assessment, survival of the fittest, the sage is up, and the mediocre is down; At the same time, each province promotes innovation, and each province has a governor, who is responsible for the administrative affairs of the province, and is transferred from the governor, and one vice governor, who is transferred from the political envoy; a procurator general, who is responsible for the supervision of officials and the judiciary in the province, who is transferred from the procuratorial envoy; a speaker of the parliament, who is responsible for the local legislation of the whole province, and is concurrently held by the most prestigious local gentry or famous Confucian; The military is independent of the provinces, vertical management, all the provincial governors, the general army is called into the capital for assessment, those with excellent grades are appointed by the Ministry of the Interior to new official positions, and those with mediocre grades are all removed from all positions! ”

"Your Majesty, there are difficulties in this matter, the first assessment, how to assess, take talent as the standard, or use the standard of character and behavior? Or is it both? The assessment ability can still be quantified, how to quantify the assessment of conduct? Second, how do these exempted officials deal with the aftermath? Our action will involve tens of thousands of people at once, tens of thousands of people, if they gather to make trouble, it will be a big trouble, after all, these people have a network, and they are not ordinary people, but officials......"

Guo Songtao said in a deep voice.

Guo Ye replied: "The assessment of entering Beijing is naturally based on talent, and the assessment of character can only be supervised in the future, and it is difficult to find clues in a hurry. “

"And what about those who are eliminated?"

Guo Songtao asked.

Guo Ye replied lightly: "Don't worry about them making trouble, a group of small fish and shrimp can't turn the sky, Brother Bochen, even if you let it go, I will be behind everything, pass the decree, officially promulgate the will, revoke the corresponding institutions, within seven days, draw up a list of institutions that need to be abolished, promulgate the will within ten days, and within two months, all personnel will enter Beijing for assessment!" ”

Guo Songtao nodded helplessly, this pressure is too great......

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that such a large-scale official into Beijing, whether it is reception, or assessment, is too difficult, our departments are not many, the shortage is serious, I am afraid that the force will not be caught, the minister thinks that the three provinces of Zhaozhili, Shandong, and Henan can enter Beijing first, and the rest will be ......pressed and assessed in batches."

Tang Tingshu said in a deep voice.

Guo Ye nodded, it is true, the officials of Sichuan and Yunnan, who are the farthest away, want to enter the capital, it is impossible to enter the capital without more than two months, and the unified assessment, the number of people exceeds tens of thousands, which will bring huge pressure to the capital.

"Then, according to the opinions of Jianshi, the first batch of officials from the four provinces of Zhaozhi, Lu, Henan, and Jin entered Beijing for assessment; The second batch, officials from the four provinces of Zhao, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Zhen entered Beijing for assessment; The third batch, officials from Zhaohu, Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and four provinces entered Beijing for assessment; The fourth batch, officials from Zhaoyun, Guichuan and Sichuan provinces entered Beijing for assessment; The fifth batch, the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu and Fujian entered Beijing for assessment; Within 10 months, all officials have been evaluated! ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Also, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet had a suitable candidate, Bochen, do you have a suitable person to recommend him?" ”

Guo Songtao hesitated for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, there is someone who can give it a try, but it is ......"

Guo Ye frowned and said, "Bo Chen, what else is there to avoid between you and me, just say, who is it?" ”

"Hubei Governor Luo Bingzhang ......"

Guo Songtao replied.

Liu Kun on the side said in a deep voice: "Yes, Bochen's recommendation is good, Luo Ruzhai is an honest official in his life, rigorous in his work, he is indeed a great talent, and he has recently arrived in the capital ......."

Guo Ye was stunned and said, "Luo Bingzhang arrived in the capital? Why didn't anyone mention it to me? Such an old man came to the capital, but it is worth my personal visit......"

Guo Songtao smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, don't forget, when you just took over the firearms battalion, but because of the Tongzhou incident, Luo Bingzhang's eldest son Luo Tinghe was planted in your hands. Of course, General Chen Hai died tragically in his sister-in-law and his parents were seriously injured, almost everyone in the officialdom knows about this matter, who dares to tell you about it? ”
