Chapter 213: Bringing Noodles with Points
With the bumper grain harvest in the Gyeonggi region, the expected increase in the population of the people, coupled with access to education and various popularization, will not only make the people happy and healthy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info, but it also makes the bigwigs in the center of the court have a headache, this headache is a happy trouble, and Li Shimin, the emperor, sighs a lot. Because of the bumper grain harvest in the Gyeonggi region, the population of the people is expected to increase, and the improvement of various medical conditions is simply a great thing. In particular, the people in the Gyeonggi area have a very increased sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty, so that they have long completely forgotten the so-called Sui Dynasty, because the people are forgetful, who gives them a stable life and allows them to be rich, this is who they support. Especially in this era, the needs of the people are not much, and a little bit of food has allowed them to meet it. Of course, they don't know that they will have enough to eat in the future, and they need much more than that. Human desires are endless, so that they are not currently aware of it.
And Li Shimin and the ministers of the court came to the meeting together, and even after this meeting, there was no good solution.
"What about the Gyeonggi area this time? According to the practice of previous years, there is a performance appraisal once a year, but if our Gyeonggi generation of county commanders follow this achievement, I am afraid that they will all be superior, but if so many superiors suddenly appear, then what is it? Li Shimin asked helplessly.
Shi Bufan snickered below, he had destroyed the assessment system of the Tang Dynasty. According to the annual assessment system of the Tang Dynasty, the final assessment was often divided into several grades. They are upper, upper, upper, upper, middle and so on, and at the upper and lower levels, you can be promoted two levels, and you can rise one level in the middle. As for the middle school, it is not upgraded. However, for three consecutive years, there is no merit and hard work, and you can be promoted to one level. And once you get below the middle level, you will be fined. Once you have obtained a low-level assessment, you will be removed from your post and investigated. Of course, this may not be a problem for those nobles. Because they are not short of money, there is no need to be corrupt. As for the results, although I don't want to admit it, the family inheritance of the Shi clan is still good, although it may not be able to do much well, but it is still okay not to go out of the basket.
Of course, the upper class and the upper middle class, these two are the highest ranks, according to the convention, only one or two can be allowed each year, and after obtaining this achievement, they must be sent to Shangshu Province to personally decide how to arrange the position by the prime minister and even the emperor. However, driven by this extraordinary time, the surrounding counties are so rich that they are absolutely superior according to the standards. In the past, the standards for those officials to obtain the superior rank were also much lower than this grade, and if this good result was not superior, it was really unreasonable.
But here's the problem, according to the rules of previous years, there are only one or two every year, and this time there are more than a dozen county orders alone, and there are many official positions in the county. If each one is superior, then how will it be arranged at that time? This is an oolong, and more than a dozen of them suddenly appeared, and that is the difficulty of the problem.
"Your Majesty, this is actually all made by Shi Bufan, if it weren't for Shi Bufan coming up with this set of plans, otherwise the emperor would not be so embarrassed!" Chen Kang immediately hopes to spray Shi Extraordinary again.
But Shi Bufan spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, am I to blame for this matter?" ā
Li Shimin hurriedly said: "No blame, no blame, how can this be extraordinary to you!" I hope that there will be a few more people like you in my court, so that the people will become rich and the world will be peaceful! You can't blame you for this! ā
Chen Kang was depressed for a while, but he must oppose it whenever the time comes, and he must oppose any achievements made by Shi Bufan as much as possible, and if there is no problem, he must find out the problem with the bones. But now this really can't be done because of this, and he will be punished for making achievements, which is unreasonable. Of course, Li Shimin knows that he can't be punished on this ground, so who will dare to work hard and make achievements in the future? However, the arrangement of these people is also a problem.
"These dozen or so county orders are all official positions on the fifth grade, where can the center of our court get so many official positions?" Li Shimin said with a headache.
The central court really can't get so many vacancies in the court, so Li Shimin has a headache!
"Your Majesty, the center of the court can't take it out, so you can let them serve as the state assassins! This time they have a lot of credit, and they can let them go to other places to serve as state assassins. In particular, many state assassin positions are still vacant, and letting them serve as state assassins can help fill the void in local administration. Shi Bufan said.
Now the state history of many places in Datang is actually vacant. In many places, the history of the state assassin is concurrently served by one person as the history of several states, and sometimes even many court courtiers manage many states at a time with a certain governor of the prefecture, and these states do not have a history of state assassination, and they are directly represented by the long history, Sima and even the record of joining the army. However, their agency is not justified and does not conform to the rules. If someone were to take over the state assassination, they would inevitably lose their power. So now there is a serious lack of local state assassins, so it would be good to let these county commanders serve as state assassins.
"Your Majesty, no! These people were still a county magistrate before, and they rashly served as the state assassin, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? Fang Xuanling hurriedly said.
Of course, Fang Xuanling had to object, because the state assassin history was the position of the scholar clan, and ordinary cold men would never be able to snatch it. These scholars would rather have the positions of the assassins in these states vacant than give them to the poor. The history of these states has different meanings, and it is an important way for them to block the road to promotion. Especially according to the promotion of officials, the history of state assassins is generally released by people from the central departments, and there is absolutely no direct promotion from the county officials. That arrangement can be represented by some county officials, but it is not justified, this is their means of blocking the road of the Han family before his death. If you want to get the official position of state assassin, you must come to the central government to serve, but the position of the central government is a radish and a pit, and the arrangement of the scholar clan cannot be completed, so it is really not easy for the poor family to find an opportunity to transfer the central government. And once the Shi clan is released, it will be the state assassin history, so they would rather the state assassin history be empty, and they can't open a county order to directly promote to the beginning of the state assassin history.
Once this example is opened, then the county order will go straight to the state assassin history, and then there will be a beginning. With this kind of example, maybe in the future, many county orders of the cold family can directly take the opportunity to be promoted to become the state assassin, then the road of their scholar clan will be dug up, and the road of the cold door promotion will be broken into a big hole, which is not conducive to the promotion of the cold door blocked by the scholar clan.
However, Shi Bufan said: "Your Majesty, I think it's good to let them serve as state assassins." Because they go to other places to serve as state governors, they can drive the people in the jurisdiction and organize them in the same way as this Gyeonggi county, which will be of great help to the people to increase production and income. Even, later there can be more rations, there can be more rations to subsidize the military. And the people have increased their income, isn't that great? The people are happy and healthy, which is very supportive of my Datang. And with more wealth, the army can be more powerful, otherwise how can we conquer the Turks and destroy Goguryeo? ā
Li Shimin listened to Shi Bufan's "Conquest of the Turks" and "Destruction of Goguryeo", and immediately made him decide his idea. And Fang Xuanling secretly shouted that it was not good, but Shi Bufan grasped the weakness of Li Shimin's great achievements. Li Shimin is very good at making great achievements, and this is a small shortcoming of his. He is keen on expanding his territory and martial arts, so now he is being used by Shi Bufan, so Li Shimin may really make up his mind.
To expand the territory and go to war, you need money! Li Shimin knew that without money, it would be impossible to fight, so when he heard that there could be more military rations and more wealth, then naturally no one would be disgusted with more money and food! With money and food, he can go to war, so Li Shimin immediately made up his mind.
"Okay, let them go to the states to serve as state assassins!" Li Shimin said.
Fang Xuanling felt bitter in his heart, this Li Shimin's weakness was exploited by Shi Bufan, Li Shimin is the eighth king to eat the scales - if he is hard-hearted, then he can't directly oppose it.
"Your Majesty, let them go to the states to serve as state assassins, so that they can lead the people to change here. You can even use one state and county to drive the surrounding states and counties, and finally let my entire Datang follow suit. Shi Bufan said.
Shi Bufan's plan is very simple, in fact, it is to arrange these people who rely on Shi Bufan's New Deal, so that they can disperse to the position of the local state assassin. In this way, they will form nodes, and these nodes will be like a big network that will start to spread the network around them. They are all beneficiaries of the extraordinary new deal, they have great trust in the extraordinary policy, and if the new policy proposed by the extraordinary in the future, they will definitely be the first to support it. Once there are these "models", the surrounding states, counties and counties will also follow suit, and finally drive the whole country to do so.
This is to arrange those people to the executive layer in a point-to-area role. In this way, Shi Bufan and they have also formed a community of interests, they are the local strength in the local support of Shi Bufan, and Shi Bufan put forward policies, they are the most supportive people, so that the two sides support each other, can achieve good results.
Although Shi Bufan did not put forward any new deal reforms, he would not take the initiative to say anything about the new deal and reforms, and he knew that if he openly talked about reforms, it would be easy to be criticized in the end. However, this kind of non-public reform can naturally change slowly and silently. It is even very easy to form a new interest group, so that with the support of the new interest group behind it, no one will die in the reform. And once the gradual reform of the boiled frog in warm water, once the general trend of the world is formed, even if there are some old vested interests who want to change, then he will not be able to stop the promotion of the historical tide of Taotao.
Under this historical tide, anyone who wants to stop it will be crushed. Shi Bufan would not take the initiative to say anything about reform, because he knew that any reform that said reform loudly would often fail in the end. But slowly change in secret, that is the real cleverness. Not only can we avoid stimulating those with vested interests, but we can also cultivate new interest groups, which will be of great benefit to the future. As for counting on the emperor's support for reform, I don't believe it when the times are extraordinary! Because every emperor is actually the biggest vested interest in the corrupt interest groups, they may support the reform for a while, but once they calm down, they will find that they can sit on the throne, and that is supported by those corrupt groups.
At that time, I'm afraid that any emperor will oppose the reform. Any government is like this, if they are not pushed to the extreme, they will not choose to change. This human history can be said to be forced, not actively promoted. The power of one person cannot be changed in the long river of history, let alone the general trend of history. Therefore, what Shi Bufan needs to do is to cultivate a new community of interests, so that everyone knows that this Shi Bufan policy is good, and can bring them wealth, official positions, and even more benefits, and they will support it. Otherwise, just relying on Shi Bufan, as soon as the two mouths touched, they counted on Li Shimin's support? This is impossible, even if Li Shimin is wise, it is difficult to withstand the huge pressure. In the final analysis, Li Shimin is just one person, and Li Shimin, the emperor, is just the spokesman of an interest group. He may be able to change to a certain extent, but he will never completely go the other way.
Shi Bufan will not pin his hopes on Li Shimin, because he has deep doubts about the discipline of every politician. Maybe he has good personal qualities, but as a politician, he can't help himself. Even Shi Bufan can't help himself now, because since he was involved in the Xuanwu Gate, he has to go up hard.
In this long history, how many people can be free? The sons of the traitorous minister Li Linfu of the Tang Dynasty also persuaded Li Linfu not to do this, but Li Linfu replied that he had no choice, because he was not alone behind him. Anyone, whether loyal or traitorous, is involuntarily self-serving. This will not be because of whether you are studying Confucianism or Mohism, or even one of them, whether it is liberal arts and science, science or philosophy, it will not really affect the decision of politicians, and in the end, it depends on whether it is in line with the interests of your own class or interest group.
"Your Majesty, since this is the case, Nachen thinks that this time is just a special time and cannot be used as a long-term example. If a county order wants to be directly promoted to a state assassin history, it must first be a county order of Jing County, and it must be qualified to obtain a superior performance appraisal. Fang Xuanling said. (To be continued.) )
