13. Tree model (above) Soon, under the supervision of Zhang Chao, the officials of the Ministry of Industry also began to arrange the work for the next month, and then distributed it to everyone one by one. And now the Ministry of Industry has purged more than 30 officials, which makes the rest of the people very workload, so they have begun to work overtime. The Ministry of Industry has begun to draw up work plans, and then these plans have also begun to receive tasks according to the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and then each person has received his own tasks within the scope of his division of labor according to his own ability.
The four departments under the Ministry of Industry have also begun to divide labor, and this task has been refined to almost everyone. And the responsibilities that each department is responsible for are also assigned, and no one can escape it. And this way to distribute tasks can ensure that everyone has responsibilities and avoid a lot of empty pay happening. Even these tasks are divided into four levels, A, B, C, D, which are divided according to the workload and difficulty, and the tasks of grade A are the most difficult, and when the time comes, they are the best results.
As the lowest level of scribes, the tasks they complete are also the easiest, and the assessment method is the number of tasks completed. As long as the proportion of tasks completed is high enough to allow your subordinates to complete enough tasks, it also means that your leader is competent. And this is the core of the assessment method, for ordinary clerks to complete the amount of assessment standards, and for middle-level officials to assess the proportion of completion as the standard, so that you can take into account the assessment of work ability and leadership ability.
And time flies, a month has passed quickly, and the matter of taking over the Ministry of Engineering has ended. And when it came to the completion of the task by the officials of the Ministry of Audit, this situation made everyone feel very happy, because everyone was very good.
"Zhang Chao is in charge, this time I have overdone five times the work. We are responsible for guiding the people to Tuntian, and we have twice as many Tuntian as in the past during this time, so it can be said that the number of completions should exceed the past by a lot, right? Director Liang said.
This Liang staple food is obviously the official in charge of Tuntian, and the director of Tuntian is responsible for the management of the officials' professional fields, and the land of these officials is responsible for the people to cultivate the land of Tuntian Langzhong and the director, so these people must be allowed to cultivate these lands, otherwise those officials will not be satisfied. These are related to the income of officials, and the people in their tuntian departments should naturally pay attention to them. And how to complete the task of Tuntian quickly and well, this is the most testing person. And now this Director Liang was able to complete the tasks of the past three months in one month, which is simply a miracle.
"Zhang Chao is in charge, and I have also accomplished a lot. We have also completed the minting of coins, and the coins we are minting now are several times faster than the minting speed in the past, and we are confident that we will be able to complete the minting task assigned by the emperor soon. We used to be able to mint less than 10,000 coins a day, but now we can mint tens of thousands of dollars a day. Director Li also said.
And Zhang Chao looked at the situation and smiled, which is also the result of the stimulating effect. Of course, Zhang Chao knows what the shortcomings of this kind of government agency are, that is, there is no sense of crisis. Once they become officials, they belong to the privileged class, and as long as they do not make mistakes, they cannot be easily fired or dismissed. In ancient times and later generations, they were all the same, and after becoming an official, they could not be demoted to a large extent, and if they were demoted, they would definitely cause dissatisfaction. Unless you make a mistake, it will definitely not make sense if you are demoted for no reason.
And these middle-level officials, in fact, have a problem, they procrastinate when they encounter things, anyway, they have so much power in their hands, and they don't think about doing anything hard. In the past, because those officials wanted to be promoted, they couldn't be promoted, so they had the idea of messing around. In the past, those sycophants were promoted one by one, and those who did practical things could not be promoted, which would cause many people to be disappointed in their future. And now with this test method, it means that they can also achieve their promotion goals very well.
After all, the promotion criteria are quantified, and with the corresponding standards, everyone will also strive to do things based on this standard. It's not like in the past, you have to please your superiors, and you can only be promoted if you are in the same stream as your superiors. Such a promotion method is not only unscientific, but also causes a lot of negative effects.
At present, the officials of the Ministry of Industry have only recognized one thing, that is, officials who do more work and can lead and complete more tasks can also be promoted. Then everyone will work hard to complete the tasks assigned by the superiors, so that those who have completed more tasks can also be promoted. If you complete fewer tasks and make more mistakes, it will indicate that your ability is poor, and then you will stay where you are. And in this way, there is a sense of competition, which is much better than those who relied on currying favor with their superiors in the past.
With certain rules, that is, no one can directly control the future of a certain official, and everything is carried out according to the rules. And with the right rules, many problems can be avoided, that is, the problem of redundant officials. If you can't complete the task, then your abilities are very problematic, and it's worth looking into. At that time, if there is no need to establish this official position of yours, then you can take this opportunity to remove this official position and abolish this redundant official position. After all, the rice of the imperial court is not used to support idlers, not to support people who take money and do not work.
Zhang Chao knew very well that when Zhang Juzheng used this test method, the main purpose was not to evaluate officials, but to take the opportunity to eliminate redundant officials. Too many redundant officials have seriously dragged down the Ming Dynasty that year, so Zhang Juzheng also used this examination method to eliminate many redundant officials, reducing the financial burden of the country and the burden of the people. And Zhang Juzheng's reform can be said to have allowed Daming to survive for decades, but in the end, it was because of the counterattack of those vested interests, and finally died after Zhang Juzheng's death.
Now Zhang Chao proposed this examination method, which is completely extracted from the core of Zhang Juzheng's examination method, and then integrated with the performance appraisal system of later generations to achieve it. And this new version of the examination method can not only make everyone do things conscientiously, but also make those officials more diligent. After all, there are many things to complete and many tasks to undertake, so that you can show that you have the ability, and only with the ability can you be promoted. The final standard is based on the ability to do things, and if the work is not good, it will naturally be abolished. And if there are many things to do, and two people have done everything alone, then this must be a good thing. This can not only save the state the salaries of various officials, but also reduce the number of officials, and avoid a large number of redundant officials joining in and wasting financial resources.
"Okay, now that a month has passed, we should also go and report to the emperor the results of our Ministry of Industry's trial test method!" Zhang Chao said.
And Director Li immediately asked: "Will these emperors admit it?" We've done a lot of things, can we ......?"
Director Li still feels a little unreal, because he used this method to do things, so it can be said that everything is maintained on this test method. If the test method is recognized by Emperor Li Yuan, then their promotion will become inevitable. And if the test results can't be recognized by Li Yuan, then I'm afraid it will be very difficult for them to be promoted, and now they are all busy in vain.
And Zhang Chao was quite satisfied when he heard what Director Li said. Because he has a group of people to support him, although this force is not too big, but at least they are all beneficiaries of the reform. Their futures are also tied to this reform, so that they can stand with themselves without fear of their betrayal. Because they are actually the new vested interests, and they have gained benefits under the new system, then they naturally have to maintain the new system, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry have also begun to care about this examination method.
Now many officials of the Ministry of Industry have also begun to approve of this examination method from the bottom of their hearts, after all, the examination method represents their future, how much they have done, whether they can be promoted or not, it is also based on whether the examination method can be implemented. And those who opposed the examination in the past were also dragged to beheaded. Therefore, the rest of these people, in fact, from the bottom of their hearts, are not willing to oppose the test method, and this test method is beneficial to them. As long as they work hard, they can all be promoted, and with sufficient quantitative standards, they can also avoid the rejection of their superiors, and eventually they will not be promoted.
Although there are inevitably many human factors, for those middle and low-level officials, this examination method is the best basis for their promotion. With the test method, then they have the motivation to be able to do things. And if the senior officials do not do well, they will also face punishment such as demotion, so that it is a perfect system for selecting and employing people. However, if you want to really achieve this, you are also close to the end of the world. After all, no matter how good the system is, it is all implemented by people, so Zhang Chao never had the luxury of expecting that this test method can be implemented 100% perfectly.
"Next, it should be erected that the Ministry of Industry, which is the first to implement the examination method, is a typical example. As long as this model of the Ministry of Industry is erected, it can be popularized to all departments of the central government on a large scale, and the personnel appointment and dismissal system can also be changed. Zhang Chao thought to himself.
