12. Talking about the heart When Zhang Chao came to the Ministry of Industry, those officials of the Ministry of Industry immediately stopped working and began to look at Zhang Chao together. At present, the officials of the Ministry of Industry are most afraid of not the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and their direct bosses, but Zhang Chao, the head of the Ministry of Officials. Because Zhang Chao came to implement the examination method this time, those officials of the Ministry of Industry did not cooperate at first, but later Zhang Chao actually caught the loopholes in the account book and found out more than 30 corrupt officials, and now more than 30 corrupt officials have lost their heads. There was even one who was a squire of the Ministry of Works, which was enough to make them tremble. Now that these officials of the Ministry of Industry have seen Zhang Chao, it is simply like a mouse and a cat, and their fear of Zhang Chao is in their bones. And now that the Ministry of Industry wants to implement the examination method, they all have no opinion, so now they are also very scared.

"Director Niu, Director Li, and Director Liang, come with me!" Zhang Chao asked.

And the three officials of the Ministry of Industry who were named by Zhang Chao were also frightened in their hearts, obviously shocked by Zhang Chao's words. They didn't know what Zhang Chao, the "killing star", came to them for, but they hesitated for a moment and passed. Because they themselves think that they are not corrupt and have not done anything corrupt, so what is there to be afraid of? What's more, this is the Ministry of Industry, Shangshu Province, and the Imperial Palace, does Zhang Chao dare to arrest and kill people on the spot? So they all took the initiative to come over.

"Master Niu, you came here to do things in the Sui Dynasty before, right? It seems that it has been six years, and I have been an official in the former Sui since before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and it seems that it has not been reused! And since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, you have entered the Ministry of Industry, and then you have always been a principal. And the people who entered the Ministry of Industry at the same time as you have either become outsiders or even Langzhong, and some have also been transferred out for promotion, why haven't you moved your nest? Like, you're still standing still. And you were sent directly to the Ministry of Water as the director from the original Ministry of Works, but this is a secret fall. Zhang Chao said.

Zhang Chao pointed out the head of the cow, in fact, his resume is still very good, from the original Sui Dynasty officials transferred, and then to the Ministry of Industry. However, he was the head of the Ministry of Industry under the Ministry of Industry at the beginning, and this Ministry of Industry is not the entire Ministry of Industry, and there is a small department with the same name as the big department in the six departments, which is the core department of this department. The "Ministry of Industry" under this Ministry of Industry is the department responsible for all kinds of engineering construction, and is in charge of all kinds of engineering construction matters used by the government.

It can be said that this is the fat difference of the fat difference, if you are willing to make money, then you can definitely make a lot of money. But he was actually kicked from the Ministry of Engineering to the Ministry of Water, which is equivalent to kicking from the construction system to the water conservancy system, and there is not much power in this water conservancy system. If the Tang Dynasty has been waging a war of reunification since then, what power does the state have to build water conservancy at this time? The funds for the construction of water conservancy were temporarily diverted to the war, so there was no money to be made for the water conservancy system.

If you want to really build water conservancy, you must wait until the world is peaceful, and then you can spend money to build water conservancy, which is the real condition that can make the country stable. And now, in the war-torn period, it is impossible to build water conservancy, so the head of the Ministry of Water naturally has no money to make. What's more, he was directly transferred from the department in charge of engineering construction to the water conservancy department that had no money, which can be said to be a bright rise and a dark fall.

"You say? Why is that? Zhang Chao asked.

After listening to Zhang Chao's questioning, this Niu boss felt a huge pressure in his heart, because the "official authority" on this Zhang Chao was obviously very strong, which made him feel irresistible. He couldn't figure it out at all, Zhang Chao was just a person who had just joined the officialdom, and his grade was the same as him, but why Zhang Chao's official authority was much stronger than him. And this bearing, he simply felt a lot of pressure. And he didn't know that Zhang Chao was a middle-level and high-level official of the National Development and Reform Commission in his previous life, and the National Development and Reform Commission has a lot of power and very wide management. The House of Affairs". And this NDRC is definitely one of the best in all departments, so even if Zhang Chao, an official of the NDRC, meets officials from other departments at the same level, his bearing is very unusual, it is a person from a large department, and his identity is different from that of officials in marginal departments, so it is normal for Director Niu to feel under great pressure.

"You can't tell, can you? I'm telling you, I've seen your resume, and that's because you're not willing to make money with them, right? You are honest and honest, work hard, and conscientiously complete the tasks of your superiors, but why can't you be promoted in the end, and in the end you will be kicked to the water department? Could it be that this is also the result of doing good things by good people? This is obviously impossible! Zhang Chao said.

And the head of the cow is a little helpless, in fact, he is a good guy, he has no corruption in the fat and oily department of the Ministry of Industry, he is a good person, and he can maintain his integrity. However, because he maintained his integrity, he was rejected by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he was unwilling to go along with the dirty, so he would naturally be ostracized. And he usually does the most things, and he doesn't dare to take the money when the time comes. And those officials who united to corrupt ** actually rose all the way up, and then they were promoted one after another. This made him very embarrassed in his heart, but he also hesitated in his heart, and when the time came, he thought that if he could embezzle with them, wouldn't he be able to develop?

But he still didn't embezzle with them, and now that these corrupt officials have been beheaded, he feels extremely glad about this. Fortunately, he didn't embezzle with them, otherwise he would have had one more person whose head was cut off. And the other two guys are also like this, they are both unwilling to participate in corruption, and they are both relatively diligent and unwilling to say anything, which is why they are excluded by everyone. In fact, these are all unhealthy trends in officialdom, where guys form gangs and gangs. In fact, this kind of thing cannot be avoided in later generations, but it has been greatly improved. Because later generations of officials have a perfect quantitative standard, and there is a good control and inspection of the promotion of officials, and even publicity. Therefore, although there are some subjective factors in the selection of officials in later generations, it is difficult for a certain leader to be able to absolutely control the selection of officials.

However, in ancient times, it was not possible in this era of communication, and the method of selecting officials was even more backward, so many officials could absolutely affect the future and fate of their subordinates, so they were either in the same stream or were excluded. Therefore, these relatively cautious officials did not choose to go along with the dirt and have not been promoted and reused. But this time, because he didn't go along with it, he was able to have a chance to save his life, so it's also a good thing.

"Actually, why do you have to oppose this test method? You have been here for so many years, and many of the officials at the same time as you have also developed together through sycophancy bribery, but you honest people are not allowed to be promoted, so are you willing? Do you think it's fair? Zhang Chao said excitedly.

After listening to Zhang Chao's words, the cow boss immediately said: "It's not fair! ”

The cattle lords also spit out the bitterness in their hearts, because they have been diligent for so many years, they get up earlier than chickens, eat worse than pigs, run faster than horses, and are thinner than monkeys, but they were not promoted in the end. And those sycophants and embezzlers were promoted one by one, which made them feel very unhappy, and even complained about these guys.

"You know why it's not fair? In fact, it was the collusion of those guys, and we in Datang have not yet been able to provide a reasonable channel for you officials who work diligently to rise. And the emperor is wise, he deliberately came up with this test method, and specially came up with this test method to give you diligent officials a channel for promotion and reuse. And your officials who work diligently in the future can be reused and promoted by the imperial court, so why do you oppose this examination method? If you oppose it, isn't that incompatible with your own future? Zhang Chao asked again.

When the head of Niu heard this, he also said helplessly: "The senior officials of the Ministry of Industry were all against it before, and we are soft-spoken, and we can't speak!" ”

"Master Niu, we won't talk about the past, but you think about the current situation. Now that the Ministry of Industry has been purged once, more than a dozen official positions above the ninth rank have been vacated, and even the positions of three of the two waiters have been vacant, don't you know how to seize the opportunity? And the Ministry of Industry is now trying to test the method, so that is the time to get the benefits. As long as you do your work conscientiously during this time, you can be promoted and reused, and then maybe you can be promoted several levels in a row, and then it is possible! Zhang Chao said.

After listening to Zhang Chao's words, the three principals were also very excited, thinking that you and they seemed to really have a chance! This time, a large number of officials in the Ministry of Industry have been purged, which means that official positions are also vacant, so doesn't this provide them with an opportunity for promotion? Therefore, this is a good opportunity, as long as you can work hard during this time, then such a promotion is imminent.
