Chapter 52 Merging the Twenty-Four Yamen
When Zheng De came out of Kunning Palace, Zheng De ordered the three people behind him, "Let's go, go to the palace back garden for a small meeting." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The three of them glanced at each other, and followed Zheng De to a water pavilion in the palace garden.
"What are you doing standing, let's all sit!"
Seeing the three of them in front of him, Zheng De was really a little uncomfortable, and waved his hand to beckon them to sit down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your seat."
Wang Tingxiang was the first to sit down, and after getting used to Zheng De's somewhat eccentric style of life, he didn't have the initial cramped and uneasy, and naturally sat down.
"Long live the lord, forgive the slave and maid for being rude."
For Wang Yue, who has been with Zheng De for a longer time, he obviously sat down very interestingly.
Only Li Qingfang was left standing there, and after seeing Wang Tingxiang and Wang Yue sitting down on the emperor's left and right, he looked a little overwhelmed.
"Since it's a meeting, you can't stand alone. Don't be afraid, I won't eat you, sit down! Zheng De said with a smile when he saw this.
For this joke made by the emperor, Li Qingfang couldn't laugh at all. But it also made her let go of the etiquette in her heart, and finally gritted her teeth and sat down at the bottom. happened to be facing Zheng De, so she didn't dare to look directly, so she had to lower her head slightly.
Seeing this, Zheng De also smiled helplessly, and looked back at Wang Tingxiang, "How are the things of the Internal Affairs Office doing, which yamen do you think need to be abolished or merged, and tell me your plan." ”
Wang Tingxiang arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that in addition to the military battle bureau, the remaining twenty-four yamen in the palace can be merged into nine government offices, namely the ceremonial supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, the shrine supervisor, the internal official supervisor, the Shang Bao supervisor, the Shang Shan supervisor, the Shang Yi supervisor, the capital governor and the direct palace supervisor. ”
"Among them, the department has a superintendent, a royal superintendent, a salary department, a treasure banknote department, and a silver bureau that can be merged into the internal official superintendent and is responsible for all procurement matters in the palace. The Scarf and Hat Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, and the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau were merged into the Shangyi Prison, and were responsible for all clothing and other knitting work in the palace. The Huanyi Bureau, the Siyuan Bureau, the Bell and Drum Division, and the Mixed Hall Division were merged into the Zhidian Supervisor and were responsible for all miscellaneous affairs in the palace. In addition, the wine and vinegar noodle bureau was merged into the Shangshan Prison, and the Seal Ribbon Supervision was merged into the Shangbao Prison. The rest of the celebrant eunuchs, the imperial horse eunuchs, the shrine eunuchs, and the metropolitan governors are retained. ”
Zheng De nodded when he heard this, and felt that Wang Tingxiang's plan was indeed good. However, after thinking about it, he still added, "The governor of the capital should be abolished directly, except that the clearing of the road will not have much effect when I am traveling." As for the celebrant eunuch, he was responsible for the personnel management of the palace in the future, and the imperial horse supervisor was changed to the degree branch supervisor, who was responsible for all expenses in the palace. In addition to being responsible for the seals, Shang Baojian is also responsible for the inventory, management and management of all the property in the palace. ”
"Then the emperor has abolished the capital governor, what should I do when I travel?" Wang Yue looked a little worried
"If I want to travel, why do I put up such a big battle? To show off? Zheng De obviously didn't care about that, and said disappreciatively.
"......"
"Nothing." Zheng De directly interrupted him, obviously a little impatient.
Wang Yue is also an interesting person, and when he saw this, he directly changed the topic, "Then long live the lord, where is the government office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs located?" ”
Zheng De thought for a while and looked at the three of them, "Since so many government offices have been abolished and merged, it shouldn't be difficult to find a random place to work." Settle this matter yourself, don't bother me. ”
The three of them looked at each other, and had to nod their heads in agreement.
"As for the candidates for the directors and deputy directors of the various departments in the palace, the three of you will discuss them and submit them to me, and if you think the candidates are good, I will sign and approve them." As for the rest of the personnel arrangements, the three of you and the celebrant are in charge. ”
Although people are lazy, Zheng De will not be stupid enough to delegate all powers. After all, no matter how much they trust the three of them as Wang Tingxiang, it is better to grasp it in their own hands to make people feel at ease. At least he has to grasp the personnel power in his hands, so that he also has a sense of security.
Regarding Zheng De's approach, Wang Tingxiang has nothing to worry about, after all, it is human nature. If the emperor didn't do anything, he would think that this person would be difficult to achieve, and he would be so gullible.
"Your Majesty, what is the deputy director of the director?" Wang Tingxiang asked suspiciously.
Zheng De couldn't help but explain with a smile, "It's the official name of the person in charge of each government office in the future, does Ziheng understand?" ”
Wang Tingxiang nodded, but he didn't ask why the emperor wanted to re-establish the official title. The interest of the latter's spoof suddenly subsided, and he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, we also have to establish a personnel file for everyone in the palace, and this matter will be handed over to the celebrant to do."
Wang Tingxiang was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Your Majesty, what is a personnel file?" ”
"Uh......" Zheng De was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, there is no concept of human resource management. He explained, "The personnel file is mainly to record a person's identity and life experience, etc., which can better facilitate your management of everyone in the palace, and can also prevent unidentified people from mixing into the palace." ”
Wang Tingxiang nodded understandingly, thinking that the emperor's method was good, and it could indeed make it more convenient to manage the people in the palace. By extension, is it possible to implement it in the Ministry of Officials and manage the officials of the world?
"Your Majesty, can this method be implemented in the Ministry of Officials?"
Hearing Wang Tingxiang say this, Zheng De reacted immediately. Patted his head, "yes, why didn't you think of this?" ”
However, thinking of having to deal with Ma Wensheng, an old immortal, Zheng De suddenly withered again. Said helplessly, "Let's talk about this later." ”
Wang Tingxiang obviously felt that the emperor really liked his idea, but why he gave up in the end is really a little incomprehensible.
Zheng De continued to take care of himself, "In addition to the personnel file, the celebrant is also responsible for the registration and management of retirees in the palace who are over sixty years old. ”
"There is also no recruitment in the palace for the time being, as for the matter of the draft girl mentioned by the Queen Mother, you will delay it for the time being, at least until the layoffs in the palace are over, do you understand?"
Zheng De looked at the three of them, and the latter nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood what the emperor meant.
"And the slaves and maids recruited in the harem all have to sign labor contracts." Finally, Zheng De added.
Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, he explained with a smile, "The so-called labor contract is to sign a contract on the basis of equality between the two parties. Slaves and maidservants volunteered to serve the royal family, and the royal family paid or paid according to the terms of the contract. There is no compulsion to sign a contract, if others are unwilling to sign and give up, you must not force others, do you understand? ”
When the three of them heard this, they were shocked by the emperor's whimsical plan. As slaves, it was originally out of the weak side, but it was the emperor who was the strong side who fought for their rights, which made Wang Yue and Li Qingfang quite moved.
"Holy mercy, slave maid...... Slave maid ......" Wang Yue couldn't help kneeling down with excitement, tears welled up in his eyes, and finally he was even more speechless.
Zheng De was a little surprised, and it was really uncomfortable. I don't seem to have done anything, I'm crying so much, if you don't want this, it's too fake!
Obviously, for Zheng De, who looks at the problem with modern thinking, signing a contract is obviously a good thing for both parties, and it doesn't seem to be worth it.
"Alright, alright, get up!" Zheng De stood up helplessly and personally helped Wang Yue up. Inexplicably, I felt as if I was coaxing a child, and I felt a little speechless.
After Wang Yue's mood calmed down a little, Zheng De glanced at everyone, and finally said, "The contract is not a deed of sale, and the validity period of the labor contract is at least three years, and the longest is not more than ten years." The contract term shall be chosen by the signatory, and others shall not interfere or coerce. After the expiration of the validity period of the contract, if the contract is not agreed, the contract will be automatically terminated and the contractor will be released from the palace. If the contractor is willing to continue to serve the Crown, a new service contract is signed. ”
Obviously, because of what happened to the young palace maid today, Zheng De wanted to implement the labor contract system in the palace. To prevent those who want to leave this palace, they have no choice but to die in vain, and finally end up alone in the palace.
Listening to Zheng De's words, Wang Tingxiang also saw the benevolent side of the emperor. If this is true for the slaves and maids in the palace, it will be even more true for the people of the world.
This also made the impression of the royal court relative to Zheng De a little changed for the first time, maybe the Ming Dynasty can usher in such a king, or maybe it is a lucky event.
Of course, if Zheng De knew that he was the first subordinate he was most proud of. It's only now that I have a little recognition of him, will he vomit blood angrily?
Sure enough, there is still a little bit of domineering spirit!
"The minister will do as he is done." Wang Tingxiang arched his hand.
"Ziheng, please take a seat." Zheng De beckoned to him with satisfaction, "There is also the unified management of all expenses in the palace in the future, and the expenditure of less than 10,000 yuan can be signed by the director of the degree of support and supervision; Expenditures between 10,000 and 100,000 yuan are signed by Ziheng yourself, and expenditures above 100,000 yuan must be signed by me, do you understand? ”
Hearing the affirmative answers of the three, Zheng De nodded with satisfaction.
After thinking about it, he added, "I also make a financial statement for me every year, so that I can know where the money in the palace is spent." ”
"Financial statements? Wang Tingxiang smiled helplessly, there are too many unfamiliar words that pop out of the emperor's mouth today, and he still claims to be a genius in vain, and he doesn't even know these, which is really ashamed.
Zheng De looked at the blank expressions on the faces of the three of them, and understood that most of them didn't know these things. By the way, how to make financial statements and double-entry accounting were handed over to the trio.
"Your Majesty, how to draw up the official rank of the Internal Affairs Office?" Wang Yue finally couldn't help but ask the question he was most anxious about, after all, the emperor had never mentioned this matter from beginning to end.
Zheng De glanced at him, "There is no official rank in the harem, and it is not of much use to ask for that." ”
Wang Yue and Li Qingfang looked at each other when they heard this, with a look of surprise on their faces. However, Wang Tingxiang was already surprised, and muttered secretly, "That's the case." ”
"As for the Yu Lu, the deputy governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver, and the director has a monthly salary of fifteen taels; The deputy director has a monthly salary of 12 taels, the supervisor has a monthly salary of 9 taels, the deputy general manager has a monthly salary of 7 taels, and the monthly salary of serving ordinary palace people is 3 taels. From the third year from the date of entering the palace, the monthly salary will be increased year by year according to a certain percentage, and as for the proportion, it is up to the three of you to discuss and decide. ”
Zheng De is now completely managing the Internal Affairs Office according to the set of enterprises, of course, the three people in front of him naturally don't know, but they just think that the emperor's idea is indeed very good.
Zheng De glanced at Wang Tingxiang again, "As for the matter of dealing with the twists and turns, Ziheng, you can let it go first, and I will leave this matter to Shi Heng for the time being when I go back." You, Wang Yue, and Li Qingfang will first tidy up the palace for me, but don't make any big moves that make the palace restless, do you understand? ”
"The minister (slave) understands!"
However, Wang Tingxiang is indeed capable, even if the news of the merger of the first twenty-four yamen in the palace into the eight yamen spread, there was no chaos. Of course, the absence of the inner court does not mean that the outer court is fine, when the cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries know the news, it indicates that another storm is about to sweep in.
