Pang Juren's competitors are not only these Jinshi and Juren who came together, but also his opponents are local officials in Zhejiang, such as the chief bookkeeper and the county cheng.

The county clerk and the chief secretary are very useless official positions, both of which are auxiliary county orders, but the power is pitiful, after all, no matter what big or small things happen, it is the county magistrate who says it.

It can even be said that the real power of these two in the county government is not as good as that of the officials. The knife and pen officials in the county government, the cell heads, and the squad leaders are all officials, don't look at the lack of grade, but the power is really not small. Especially when the new county magistrate takes office and is not familiar with the situation in the county, the power of the officials is even greater. And there are more opportunities to make money than any county or master book.

The county clerk and the chief bookkeeper are both from the people, and when they become this official, there is no big way out for the ministry in this life, and the credit is all from the county order, and if someone is promoted, you may not be able to make up for it.

Generally speaking, it is more difficult to let the county minister to supplement the county order than for the imperial court to send a jinshi to take over.

Now Lord Yue is electing people, on the one hand, to give those unemployed scholars at home a chance, and on the other hand, to give these officials who are smaller than sesame mung beans a chance. They can also run for election, and let the people choose more than let the officials choose.

They are extremely familiar with the situation in the county, and they are far more familiar than those new Jinshi and Juren. In addition, with a certain amount of work experience, it is definitely an advantage over those who have zero work experience.

The county governor and the chief bookkeeper of Haiyan County have signed up for the county order election of their county, hoping that they can be elected and have a bright career from now on. Not only them, but even the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper of Linxian County also came to join in the fun, intending to get a chance.

It's a pity that the brains of these people are not as fast as Pang Juren, for example, the county leader of Haiyan County is now the acting magistrate, which can be said to occupy the right time and place. He didn't think of Pang Juren's trick, but he also took action, such as arranging door-to-door notices for errand servants, and on the day of the election, don't forget to elect our county lord. Of course, the people verbally agreed.

Originally, Haiyan County Cheng was full of confidence, but since there was a Pang Juren, he was obviously worried. However, he is now the authority of the county, and he still has the advantage, so he immediately ordered people to build momentum again, and according to Pang Juren's practice, he posted notices to win over the people. also said that after he took office, he would do something for the people. However, he would never dare to tear up the notice that Pang Juren had posted before, because once he was told about Lord Yue, he would be unlucky.

This is a drawback, which makes the election very unfair, and I don't know if our Lord Yue has taken it into account.

Not only Haiyan County, but also other Bei counties, smart people, everywhere, write more notices, let the people know themselves, pull votes.

Finally, when the day of the election came, the guards under Lord Yue and the messengers sent by the prefect Yamen came to the county almost at the same time.

There is only one time for the election, and after these people arrive in the county, they act separately and rush to various towns and villages under the leadership of the local security. Gather the people in the towns and villages to vote in unison.

Before voting, Youyuesu's protector took out an official document and read it aloud, "By the emperor's holy decree, the county order election will be piloted in Zhejiang." Lord Yue, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, is responsible for presiding. The election was held by secret ballot, fair and impartial, and the votes were counted on the spot. The people of the election, do not have to worry about retaliation, Zhejiang has Yue Da in charge, but if anyone dares to retaliate maliciously, Yue Daren will definitely uphold justice for the people, so that the lawbreakers will die under the guillotine. Now that the election has officially begun, every male who has reached the age of 16 will be put into the ballot box with one vote each. After the cast, immediately open the box and read it. "At the election site, there were 20 large tables, on which paper and pen were placed for the people to write the names of the elected. Behind these twenty large tables, there are signs with the names and biographies of the candidates. …,

The people also felt that this was new, and lined up one by one to write their ballots. Take Haiyan County as an example, the people here are thunderous about the name of the person who is with Pang Juren, and some people support his suggestion, and his name will naturally be written on the ballot. The competition in Haiyan County is relatively fierce, and the votes are concentrated in two people, one is Pang Juren and the other is the county Cheng.

By the time all the people had cast their votes, it was almost noon. Lord Yue's guards and the officials of the government opened the ballot box together, took out the ballot papers from it, and read them one by one. When I was studying, I also found five ordinary people to come up to help scrutinize the votes, striving to be more fair.

This is the first election in Zhejiang, Yue Su is not too perfect, after all, it is the first time, the drawbacks in it, after this time, we have to re-summarize, and strive to get better and better.

Within a day, the election results for the thirteen counties were finally in.

Among them, Haiyan County was elected by Pang Juren. Of the other twelve counties, eight were selected by the original counties, and the remaining four counties were selected by the new scholars. These four counties are also unlucky, and the reason why they were not selected is mainly because his reputation was not very good in the past, and the people didn't want him to be the magistrate.

The election results were sent to Yue Su, who did not give any evaluation to the thirteen people who were selected. It's just that the list is played to the court, and the scholars who are not selected are also sent away.

Yue Su attached a note to the list submitted to the imperial court, and the meaning of the fold was like this. These thirteen people were the new county magistrates who were chosen by the people, and the ministers thought that since they were elected by the people, their performance should also be measured by the people. In the past, performance appraisals were mainly measured by lawsuits and taxes, but these thirteen people, when evaluating their performance, hoped that the imperial court would allow it, and then the people would vote.

Vote score: satisfied and dissatisfied, satisfied with the number of votes over six wei, for "may": satisfied with the number of votes of seventy percent, for the "good" satisfaction of the number of votes of more than eighty percent, for "excellent". Among them, more than half of the satisfactory votes, less than sixty percent, are "poor", and they are allowed to reluctantly stay in office for one year to see the after-effects. Those who are not satisfied with more than half of the votes will be immediately dismissed: those who are dissatisfied with the votes will be handed over to the department for investigation and handling in addition to the reform. Since the county order election system is being tried out in Zhejiang, this set of performance appraisal system will also be tried in Zhejiang. At the end of the year, when the performance is appraised, the people will vote to conduct an assessment of all county orders in Zhejiang.

Yue Suxin's proposed performance appraisal system, after the courtiers read it, they were noncommittal. However, the new county orders in Zhejiang are all elected, and there is nothing wrong with special cases and special treatment. After reading it, the Queen Mother also felt that it was okay, since they were all elected by the people, then the performance appraisal should also be decided by the people.

The imperial court approved the performance appraisal system proposed by Lord Yue, and the holy decree was soon issued and sent to Hangzhou. Lord Yue didn't say a word, and directly forwarded the text to all the county orders in Zhejiang.

These thirteen newly elected county magistrates are just triumphant, although Lord Yue is here, it is inconvenient to make a big fish, but no one will know about the small ones. The wealthy families in the county also came to the door at the first time and sent silver, hoping to be taken care of. Some of these county orders were collected, some were confiscated, and anyway, they all had their own thoughts.

But when they saw the text issued by Lord Yue, they were all stunned, how could the performance appraisal system be changed, and the people had to make the decisions. If this offends the small people, it is estimated that they will be able to make do with it for a year, and then they will have to go home. It seems that the things that were promised to the people at the beginning can't just be said and not practiced, but what should be done must be done, otherwise, Lord Yue will definitely not be able to leave Zhejiang within a year, and it is possible to vote for performance appraisal and lose his head at that time.

The county magistrates put away their original plans and really began to do things for the people wholeheartedly. When a lawsuit comes to the door, he doesn't dare to slack off, and as soon as the drum of grievances sounds, he will be promoted immediately. Regardless of whether he has money or not, he must have a bowl of water, and there are so many people outside the second gate, if he doesn't handle it well, his reputation will have to spread throughout the county. Those who promised to repair the bridge and Yufu Road also began to work, and they could not delay it at all. …,

These thirteen counties were the first to implement the county order election system, and they quickly achieved certain results, and the news spread far and wide, and soon spread to other counties. The people in these counties are very much in favor of the new system of the imperial court, and some people even dare to shout in public, if the county order dares to help the bully bully bully people again, when the election comes, it will make you ugly.

Zhejiang's original county orders, after receiving the text, are also a little stupid, at the end of the year to evaluate the performance, this is still a few months left, in case it is mixed by the people, it will be unlucky. Therefore, they immediately changed their past style and became diligent and loved the people, with that county official, in the past, he always looked at money and not people, but now he no longer dares, and the people can't be offended, otherwise when the crossbow performance, it really costs your life. If you don't want to be excellent in performance evaluation, at least you can't be dissatisfied with the number of votes that exceed Liuwei.

The people are very happy that all the counties in Zhejiang have become like children, after all, the officials that the people can contact are the lowest counties. The results of Zhejiang's reform are remarkable, and the pride of the people has increased a lot, in the past, the officials did not treat us as human beings, but now they all have to smile at us, we also have the right, you officials dare to bully us, we will make you feel bad.

Zhejiang is rich, and there are many people coming and going, and the situation here has spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River in a short time. The people of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River began to envy Zhejiang, and many places are discussing on the streets and alleys, when will the county order election system and the people's assessment system be passed to us. Let's also have a good time, manage those officials who are powerful and prosperous on weekdays.

Compared with the people, the county orders in various places are fearful, for fear that this system will really be popular, in that case, they will be unlucky, and they will not be bullied to death by the people in the future. But the magistrate is really pitiful, and he has no right to speak, almost nothing but bullying the people. Although they are dissatisfied with this system, they are helpless, their official position is too small, what kind of storm can they set off, and they are still facing the powerful Lord Yue.

Officials who are higher than the county order don't need to worry at all, the county order election is not a general judgment or prefect election, and your officials at the lowest level are unlucky and have nothing to do with us. Officials who go up will not be worried.

It can be said that Lord Yue's move is too wonderful, not only to win over the people and some scholars, but also to offend any high-ranking officials, offend some trivial county orders, what is it.

Now lifting people, except for those who can be admitted to the Jinshi, the rest are almost all on the side of Lord Yue. They are all waiting for this electoral system to be widely spread, so that they can have a chance to become prefectural governors. Otherwise, only petty officials like the teachings, the chief bookkeepers, and the county officials were waiting for them. On the contrary, all the county orders in the world are now starting to think of a way, what kind of way, find a way to climb up, it is too dangerous to be a county order, and it is easy to get mixed up for a long time.

That is, when the county magistrate of the whole world was worried, Wu Sinan, the governor of Fujian, also made a recital, which meant that he was in favor of Lord Yue's county order election system, and hoped that the imperial court would agree to ...... trial in Fujian.
