When several prime ministers came over, everyone saw the message taken out by the Jingwen Political Research Office, and then everyone began to express their opinions. The first to speak was Du Ruhui, because he has always been responsible for electing talents, so he is responsible for this kind of official affairs.

"My method of electing talents in the Tang Dynasty is the imperial examination system, as well as the shade of the door. There is not much to say about the shade of the door, and the imperial examination is a selection channel. But now Jingwen you proposed to select officials from among the officials, and in fact, we have been implementing this all along. We have already announced that the major yamen can actually report the results of some minor officials to Shangshu Province, and then Shangshu Province will uniformly assign official positions. This is actually a way of selection for my Datang people to flow into the stream, how can you say that the little officials have no future at all? Du Ruhui asked.

In fact, this method of flowing outside into the flow was also proposed by Du Ruhui. In fact, the local government and the major central departments are asked to report some outstanding officials, and then they are awarded official positions by Shangshu Province, so that they will become officials in the imperial court. This is the same as the principle of the inclusion of temporary government workers in later generations, which is common to ancient and modern. However, the establishment in ancient times was much more advanced, and the lowest establishment in ancient times was a nine-rank official, and in terms of real power, even the nine-rank was not inferior to the rank of the later generations. So the ancient compilation was much more valuable.

However, Jingwen didn't care about Du Ruhui at all, and also retorted: "Master Du, I don't say anything about the method of selecting officials in Menyin. But an official from the imperial examination, they can directly become officials after passing the exam, and they can point fingers at those old officials who have worked hard for many years. However, they have no real experience in governing at all, and often everything they say is just a pat on the ass. And when you get to the position, you must also refamiliarize yourself with government affairs. And this process also takes time, so since he is not qualified for the position, what do we want him to do? And those who have the ability to hold the position. Is it reasonable to be almost never qualified to be an official? Is it reasonable for us to elect officials in Datang? Moreover, Lord Du, your flow from outside to the flow is into the stream, but this is probably more difficult than the road to the imperial examination. And even if you become an official, you will be discriminated against in the future, right? ”

Of course, Jingwen didn't dare to criticize Shiqing Shilu's system of electing officials, because if he did, he would probably offend everyone. Therefore, he set his sights on the imperial examination of new things. Although the imperial examination claims to be the selection of talents, they are all people who have no actual experience in governance. If these people are directly in charge of a county, then isn't this irresponsible to the people? So, of course, Jingwen has to attack. And those at the bottom who are capable. But it is almost impossible to step into the position of an official, which is obviously unreasonable.

Du Ruhui was also speechless for a while, because it is obviously problematic to let a person without any experience enter a leadership position, but let some capable people have been unable to become leaders at the bottom. Even Du Ruhui had to admit that this imperial examination was very problematic. And the current era is not like the era of absolute imperial examinations like the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there were still some small officials who could become officials, but the probability was not large. In the Song Dynasty, these petty officials completely became marginalized figures. There is no future at all. The Tang Dynasty was not like this, so he would feel that there was something wrong with this election system. At this time, the thinking was not as rigid as that of the Song Dynasty, which believed that the selection of talents must be selected from among those who studied the Confucian classics. This can be seen from the fact that there were many subjects in the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, and the method of selecting officials in the Tang Dynasty was not completely rigid.

"So. Since there is a problem with our electors, we need to correct it. According to my message to the emperor, the meaning is obvious, that is, first of all, we can first delegate the personnel authority for low-level officials. Let the state officials below choose the right officials for themselves. Then, some low-level officials can be appointed on their own. For example, we can directly delegate the power of officials from the seventh to the ninth rank to the local state capital. Or the major yamen in the center of the imperial court. In the future, these officials can appoint officials from the seventh rank to the ninth rank on their own, and even have the right to promote officials from among the minor officials. From the regular evaluation of the entry of small officials, each yamen or local state capital has a certain number of places every six months to promote officials from among the small officials. This is much more than in the past, and those little officials will definitely work hard when they see their future, and then work hard to be able to become officials. Jingwen said.

Du Ruhui said: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be that the magistrate will also be elected from the local area?" ”

"Oh? We can add that the officials of the ruling side must be selected by Shangshu Province, so that's okay, right? Jingwen also immediately filled this loophole of his own.

"But why is it necessary to decentralize personnel? If we choose from the center, wouldn't it be okay too? Dai Zhou asked.

But Jingwen said: "My lords, maybe you won't despise those little officials, but can those officials from the imperial examination afford those little officials? Therefore, if the inexperienced people of these middle-level officials in the center are allowed to make choices, then I am afraid that they will despise these petty officials very much at all. And the officials in those places, they are responsible for their own political performance, so they will choose capable people as assistants. Therefore, delegating the personnel power at the bottom can allow grassroots talents to play a greater role. ”

Everyone nodded, because those middle-level cadres in the central government, they also knew that these guys actually looked down on those little officials. If you let these people in the center choose, not to mention whether they can understand the local officials, let's just say that they probably can't afford to look down on those officials who are born as small officials. This is the reason before, the center does not have too many people from the small officials. On the contrary, it is the petty officials who do the most work, but the least profit. Regardless of whether the magistrates look down on it or not, for the sake of their own political achievements, they of course give priority to promoting those who are capable as their auxiliary talents, so that they can work with peace of mind and be able to create political achievements and make a fortune.

"So how is this assessment assessed? Once every six months, but how can it be used as an assessment method? There is no unified standard for ability! Du Ruhui said.

Du Ruhui said this, that is, he represented agreeing with the statement of the unity of officials and officials. Only when the officials are united, can the low-level officials give full play to their abilities. Otherwise, I'm afraid that these little officials don't have any enthusiasm for doing things.
