"Hmph, that guy from the second brother has been taking me more and more seriously lately, and when that nephew of mine becomes a county magistrate, see how I pick him up~!"

The middle-aged man didn't hide it, he just was talking nonsense there, and the drinkers around him seemed to be used to it, and they were talking about their own things.

At this moment, in the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as being convicted of speech, so no matter how the civilians below talked about the officials and the court, as long as they didn't qualify, they would be fine, so these two people dared to speak here so confidently and boldly.

"Hey, although Boss Yang is not young, he is not confused, so you have something to look forward to~!"

Although the person at the table was friends with him, the straightforward words still annoyed the complaining man for a while, and he drank a large bowl of wine.

For their conversation, Meng Li has no intention of investigating corrupt officials and corrupt officials, in this regard, it is just that he is not too strict with officials or is really a place where people are angry and resentful, Meng Li has no heart to care about this, and now his mind is all about major matters at the national level, and this trivial matter is naturally handled by the inspector Yushi and the black-clothed society for him.

After Meng Li listened carefully to the conversation between the two, what he thought of was the problem of officials, especially this kind of people who have been working in the county order for more than ten years, or even decades, seem to have some unfortunate posture in Dahan, although they may have sat in the position of the county order for so long because of their good reputation and high ability, but for these people, Meng Li still needs to think about how to deal with them.

Just like the retirement rhetoric of later generations, he should give these middle- and lower-level officials a good guarantee that they will retire at the age when they should retire. While making room for future generations, his own end must also go smoothly.

"Blog post. How old is the prefectural ordinance in this county? ”

Meng Li, who thought of it, turned his head in another direction. Sitting next to him on his right hand is Bowen, a master of the Zhanzun level, Wang Han is mainly responsible for personal guards, and he is mainly responsible for the information around him.

"Your Majesty, the name of the county commander here is Zhang Kai, and he has been staying here since he was promoted to the county commander at the age of thirty-four. Now he has been a county magistrate here for twenty-two years, and his ability is mediocre, but he can still handle some small things. ”

After Bowen heard Meng Li's question, he didn't even need to search for the information in his mind, and directly told Meng Li clearly.

"Twenty-two years of prefectural order~!"

After hearing that he had been a county magistrate here for such a long time, Meng Li was shocked, after all, although there was no mandatory law in the Han Empire that officials were only allowed to stay in one position for as many years, but it has always been at most five or six years in a position, and if they die for ten years, they will be promoted or transferred. This county magistrate has been an official here for 22 years, hasn't there been any problems?

The twenty-two years of the county order are not just the ones that stand out on the surface, the twenty-two years of the county order is enough to make him a soil emperor here, in a word, there should be no one in the entire county who should not be. Is this situation good or bad?

Twenty-two years. This is the soil that breeds corruption~! I just don't know, whether this county order is corrupt and bribery~!

I don't know if I don't come down. Startled, Meng Li suddenly felt at this moment. It's good that I'm okay to have convulsions, and I haven't turned around for half a month, but I actually found two big problems that caught my attention~!

One is the belief of the whole people, and the other is the situation of these middle and lower-level officials in the Han Dynasty, if one of these two is not handled well, it will affect the national strength~!

At this moment, Meng Li's brows only furrowed, how many middle- and lower-level officials in the Han Dynasty were and how they were treated, he really didn't have a specific understanding, which led to a problem, how he thought at the moment was that he couldn't figure out some trivial things among the middle- and lower-level officials, especially on the issue of looting the people's fat and people's ointment, he must not tolerate the adulterers~!

"The problem of this official eunuch has been a problem since ancient times, and the idle civil servants of later generations are not the copies of today's officials~! The problems they have, the officials of the Han Dynasty can naturally appear, should I introduce some laws and regulate the officials of the Han Dynasty~! In particular, people at the level of county commanders should be paid more attention to, after all, they are the first window to show the image of the government to the people. ”

While gently tapping the table with his fingers 'one, two, three, four, five', Meng Li was thinking about whether his own law should be rolled out, after all, what has been summarized for thousands of years is not necessarily the essence, and what has been abandoned after thousands of years is not necessarily dross~!

If an official stays in a place for a long time, it naturally has his advantages, and he can supplement and correct the people's deficiencies with an in-depth understanding of the people's livelihood and people's conditions, and the long term of office can also allow the people to trust the county order, after all, under this feudal society, the leader of each place is their responsible person, and the county order represents a county, and the party and government division of labor in later generations, everyone discusses it is very different~!

However, in the same way, if a place stays for a long time, then it will become the soil emperor of this place, if something happens, the soil emperor is unwilling to let the above know, then the matter will be a big thing, and a small thing will be over; Willing to let the above know, that is, the small things are turned into big things, and the big things are publicized with great fanfare, which is very unfavorable for public security and governance~!

"There is also the issue of the treatment of these officials~!"

Meng Li vaguely remembers that in his previous life, he saw an article from an idle browsing website, which gave a summary of the common corruption problems of ancient officials, that is, if you are not greedy, then you have to starve yourself~!

This point of view fully explains the treatment of officials, especially middle and lower-level officials~!

Meng Li has made up his mind at this moment, and he can discuss the matter of the law on tenure with his own henchmen, but improving the treatment of some officials, especially middle and lower-level officials, seems to have become an urgent issue, this matter must be put on the desk, even if it adds another burden to the treasury, it is necessary to let the officials who are really busy below be able to get meat and drink soup~!

This small price may be able to exchange countless clean officials for the Han Dynasty~!

You must know that not all people are in office for money, for enjoyment~! (To be continued......)
