Chapter 417: Lower Indicators
Zhu Shiji and Zhang Chu were busy for several days for the construction of the bureaucratic system of the security army, and formulated preliminary rules, and the realization of these rules was ultimately inseparable from people. In the end www.biquge.info Zhu Jishi recommended to Zhang Chu a talent that he thought was available. According to Zhu Jishi's idea, if Zhang Chu approves of it, he will transfer this person to Zhongyang as Zhu Jishi's deputy to lead the overall situation.
"And such a talent, who is he? What's so special. "Zhang Chu is interested, there is a way that thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and it is even more rare to find a government officer like that kind of government personnel who can lead the overall situation.
"His name is Chen Zhong, he is the current magistrate of Liulin County, Luliang Prefecture, he is only in his thirties this year, and he has been promoted at a young age, but he has not performed well in the imperial examination in recent years, and he has not been able to go further. He was clever and capable, and soon stood out and was arranged to be a low-level official, and after he became an official, he would manage his subordinates well, and the affairs assigned by the superior officials to their departments could be completed very well, so his superiors liked him very much. Many people recommended him to me, so I promoted him to be the magistrate of Liulin County, and he had a larger display space in Liulin County, and the governance of Liulin County was in good order. The taxes that Liulin needed to pay were completed very early. I sent someone to secretly investigate, and the biggest characteristic of this person is that he knows how to control officials, can obey the official history system of his subordinates, and is diligent in government affairs every day, and does not dare to slack off. He himself is also very diligent, working late into the night every day, and the officials under him also come early and leave late, and work in the yamen. Zhu Jishi introduced Chen Zhong's situation in detail.
"You arrange a time for me to meet him, and then we'll make a decision." Zhang Chu didn't express his position immediately, he felt that it was better to be cautious about this kind of thing.
A few days later, Chen Zhong arrived in Zhongyang, and he was very excited and a little uneasy. The notice said that Zhang Chu, the supreme leader of the security army, wanted to see him, which made Chen Zhong think a lot, and after careful analysis, he felt that this time was definitely not a bad thing, and there might be some surprises waiting for him. Zhang Chu wanted to see him, which explained that he had entered the sight of the high-level of the security army, and if he behaved in front of Zhang Chu, he might be promoted again. If the security army replaces the Ming Dynasty in the future and changes the dynasty, it is possible that he will become the first assistant of the new dynasty in the future.
Chen Zhong is still full of confidence in his talent. He failed to take the Jinshi exam several times, deeply felt the darkness of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, and at the same time saw the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, he felt that it was time for the dynasty to change again. After carefully studying the various rebels, he decided to join Zhang Chu's security army, and he believed that Zhang Chu's series of measures were what those who achieved great things should do.
"Meet the marshal." Chen Zhong said after saluting Zhang Chu respectfully, and at the same time carefully observed Zhang Chu who was sitting at the top. I saw that Zhang Chu's face was very calm, there was no special expression, and he couldn't see anything. Zhu Jishi, who was sitting next to him, was full of smiles, it seemed that he was very satisfied with Chen Zhong, which made Chen Zhong feel a lot more at ease.
"Excuse me, you are Chen Zhong, why did you join the security army as a scholar?" Zhang Chu motioned for Chen Zhong to sit down on the seat next to him, and then asked.
"I have seen too many poor people being oppressed by corrupt officials and struggling in the famine, so I want to rescue them."
"Not a little, for your personal reasons?" Zhang Chu asked.
"There are also personal reasons, I have seen Dashuai's various measures in Yanchang and Zhongyang, and I feel that Dashuai is a rare master in a hundred years, and I hope to learn more wonderful knowledge under Dashuai." Chen Zhong gently patted Zhang Chu's ass.
"How did you get your officials to complete the various tasks assigned by the officials so quickly? Zhang Chu is still interested in Chen Zhong's work practices.
"Every time I receive a task, I break it down into different indicators and issue them to my subordinate officials, and then they decompose them layer by layer and implement them step by step, and finally the task will be determined to each official, which level will not complete the task." Chen Zhongzhong told the truth, and reported his usual work method to Zhang Chu, and he himself felt that this method was very good and efficient, and he only needed to stare at his subordinates to complete it after he issued the indicators. When the subordinates finish their work, their results will come out naturally.
"What if your officials are passive and don't do what you ask?" Zhang Chu continued to ask.
"I supervise them every day, and I will go to the lobby of the yamen in the morning and evening to sit and watch who comes late and leaves early, and if anyone does not come on time, I will deduct his wages. I set up a special supervision and evaluation department in the yamen, and asked them to go down to check the progress of the tasks of each department, and every month to publish the rankings of each department, and the leaders of the units at the bottom of the list would come and explain the situation to me. Those who have been lined up in the back many times should be withdrawn, and those who should be replaced. At present, Liulin County has formed a good atmosphere in which everyone is striving to be the first, and we have completed all kinds of tasks assigned by the superiors very well. Chen Zhong is very confident, and now the officials in other places are not more active in their work than Liu Lin, which will definitely make Zhang Chu happy.
"What about the units that do the job better?" Zhang Chu asked a question that Chen Zhong hadn't thought of.
"This ......" Chen Zhong felt that these people would have to do a good job after taking the money, and it was right to complete it better, but he always felt that this answer didn't seem right. I don't know what to say for a while.
"Okay, you go back first, I'll look for you again if there's anything." Zhang Chu asked Chen Zhong to retreat.
"You don't seem to be very satisfied with Chen Zhong." Zhu Jishi, who was sitting next to him and had not spoken, waited for Chen Zhong to leave before asking Zhang Chu.
"Yes, I'm not happy with this person, this kind of person can't be reused." Zhang Chu said very resolutely.
"Why? Isn't he doing a good job? "Zhu Jishi is very strange, Zhang Chu has always attached importance to talented people, this Chen Zhong can obey his subordinates and exceed the tasks of all tasks, why does Zhang Chu look down on it.
"It's a question of how to treat subordinates and how to be officials. A good organizer cannot use the lower-level personnel as a tool, relying on control and pressure to make them work, to be honest, no matter how tough the leader is, he can't fight a large number of grassroots officials, they feel that they are just a tool to be used, sometimes there are ways to deceive, and the government has no work efficiency at all. There is also the question of how to be an official. When we appoint an officer, we don't give him the power to do this or that to his subordinates. They need to be able to coordinate the overall situation and teach the subordinates what to do, and allocate resources to the subordinates to support them. For example, if I ask you for a million stone of grain, you can break down this million quintals into different indicators and distribute them to various states and counties, and the total amount will exceed one million stones, and whoever does not complete it will be dealt with. It's easy for you to do this, but such a leader is not qualified. You have to understand the grain production in the state capitals, where there is potential to increase production, which state capitals need to fight drought, which state capitals need to prevent flooding. Are there any new good varieties that can be promoted, and what kind of help can you give them for things that the state capital can't do on its own. Most of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was spent on party struggle, and although our security army did not form a party struggle, it was also necessary to think about how to do things instead of thinking about controlling people. The initial impression of this Chen Zhong on me is not very good, you can investigate it again, and I can't determine what kind of person he is based on just a few words. In the end, Zhang Chu tried his best to leave room for Zhu Jishi.
"Then I'll take a look. It seems that it is a bit difficult to find a good official. Zhu Jishi was a little frustrated, and the person he was optimistic about was vetoed by Zhang Chu.
"It doesn't matter, we will slowly cultivate no talents, isn't there still an exam, after the New Year, we will arrange a large-scale exam, recruit more people into the government, and we will definitely be able to find the talents you need." Zhang Chu comforted Zhu Jishi. (To be continued.) )
