507, Datang Political Research Office? No, it's the NDRC! (below)
"The edict said, the Tang Dynasty military department Langzhong Jingwen, the public loyalty to the country...... He was specially awarded the post of Standing Attendant of the Right Scattered Cavalry of Zhongshu Province, responsible for the construction of the Tang Political Research Office, and personally served as the director. ”
When Jingwen heard this edict, he knew that he had been promoted. Moreover, he was directly promoted to the position of this free rider. I have to say that this change is still quite big, originally Liu Renliang speculated that he might have to go to Dianzhong Province to serve as a young eunuch, but now because of Li Shimin's momentary thoughts, he actually went to Zhongzhong Province instead of Dianzhong Province, but to Zhongshu Province. And this right-hand cavalry attendant is actually a senior staff officer of the emperor, who is responsible for serving and consulting the emperor, and has no additional rights. And Jingwen is actually in charge of the Tang Dynasty Political Research Office, and this free-rider is only a plus. However, the Datang Political Research Office is also an institution responsible for staff officers, and it is also possible to add the rank of a free cavalry attendant.
Jingwen hurriedly rewarded those eunuchs, anyway, he was promoted! And this official rank is not low, but from the position of the third grade. This is not simple from the third product, because even the prime minister is only the third product, which means that the prime minister of Jingwen and the third product is not far behind. Although this step may take a long time, or even never arrive, it is still close at hand. And there are many institutions from the third grade, but if they are at least provincial and ministerial-level institutions in later generations, then of course it is cool. Jingwen never dreamed that he had traveled to ancient times and was able to mix to the provincial and ministerial level before the age of twenty, which was simply unimaginable for a diao silk in his previous life.
"Lord Jingwen, what kind of talent do you need to form the yamen of the Datang Political Research Office? As long as you tell me, I will help you do it properly, and you don't have to worry about it at all! The eunuch said.
After Jingwen heard this, he immediately said: "Since this is the case, there is really something to trouble you!" I need some old officials, that is, junior officials who have worked at the grassroots level for many years, and I need them to form this yamen. In addition, there are also some people who have been eight or nine officials for many years from the various yamen of the central center. Best. He has been an eight-nine-grade official for more than ten years. And those petty officials at the grassroots level must also have more than ten years of experience in handling things at the grassroots level. ”
"Lord Jingwen, what do you want these people to do? If it were those petty officials in the central yamen, I would be able to understand it. But those little officials, and they have been small officials for more than ten years, so what future can they have? Their future has been like this for the rest of their lives, so why should they come? The eunuch asked.
The people of this era look down on those grassroots clerks very much, and their status is very low. Except for a small number of officials who can be mixed into high-ranking officials, there is almost no future for the others. Even. Some government officials at the grassroots level are still "untouchables", such as government officials. There are many officials who are legally "untouchables", but Jingwen actually wants them to come to serve in this Tang Dynasty Political Research Office, which many people don't understand. What can these people do? If you want to choose those who are also of high grade, you must have at least seven grades or more!
But Jingwen knew that this kind of little official was what he needed. These small officials, don't look at their low status, and even some of them are sluts, but they have worked at the grassroots level for many years. The grassroots experience work is very rich. They have a much better understanding of the information of the grassroots government and the people at the grassroots level than the high-level officials.
There is a saying in ancient times, which is called let your officials be as clear as water, but the officials are as smooth as oil. The officials here are as smooth as oil, and those little officials have been working for many years. It has deep roots in the local area, and if officials want to govern with confidence, they need the cooperation of these small officials. If these little officials give you any tricks, then you really can't do anything.
I have to say. Now the system of electing officials in the Tang Dynasty is problematic. The Tang Dynasty was either Shiqing Shilu, and high-ranking officials could use the Guò Menyin system to make their descendants officials. And even officials who were born in the imperial examination have always been studying. I don't know much about the operation of the government. As a result, as soon as these guys become officials, they are often "high-level" and "ungrounded". These guys, many policies are thought up by patting their heads, but they can't work at the grassroots level.
Moreover, the understanding of these officials about the grassroots people is something that Jingwen urgently needs to know. These officials are very familiar with the lives, thoughts, and various needs of the grassroots people. They can know the needs of officials and the needs of the people, and it can be said that they are the lubricant of the government and the people, and they are also the concrete implementers of state policies. Only by getting them to Jingwen did Jingwen know which policies worked and which didn't work in ancient times. And if the imperial court has any policies, you can ask these officials to see their opinions. If you can consult with them, you will be able to know what a certain policy will look like from the central to the local level and then to the grassroots level.
Of course, Jingwen knew that the policy of the ancient government was from the central government to the locality, and an order was probably completely out of shape when it arrived at the locality. This is a long-standing problem in later generations, let alone ancient times. In ancient times, magistrates and petty officials were extremely cunning, and the policies that were beneficial to themselves were to be implemented doubly, but to the detriment of themselves, they always had ways to delay, change, and misinterpret, and these were all headaches. Therefore, Jingwen had to let these officials into his political research room, so that he could not only verify whether his idea could work, but also speculate on what the local officials would do to circumvent it. Jingwen didn't expect to follow the emperor's order and implement the policy to the letter, this is pure fart. And inviting these officials to come in is to allow them to participate in the management of the country, so as to prevent the good policies of Datang from becoming policies for the people. Wasn't that the same with Wang Anshi's change back then, the central change was very enthusiastic, but the place deliberately implemented it wrong, and it was miserable.
"Alright, you can call these people as much as you can! From south to north, from west to east, and different officials in charge of projects were selected from all over the country, and let them enter my political research office. All kinds of officials in charge of different things have to be found, so that they can be complete! Jingwen said.
"Okay! Since Lord Jingwen has a request, it is the blessing of these little officials, and I will definitely find it! The eunuch said.
And Jingwen is waiting next, waiting for this eunuch to find these grassroots officials, so that the Tang Dynasty Political Research Office that he is responsible for forming can be freshly baked. (To be continued......)
