It is impossible for Jia Liu of the Internal Affairs Committee to be dismissed.

History has proved that if the superior does not have a factory guard team, the country's bureaucracy will inevitably expand infinitely and become the country's biggest moth, which will eventually lead to a change of color.

It doesn't matter what country it is.

The difference is in the name.

At present, a strong factory guard team can ensure the successful implementation of the reform measures of the Restoration court, and can also promote the cohesion and loyalty of the reform bureaucracy, so that this bureaucracy can continue to advance with His Majesty the Emperor.

In the long run, there must be a big problem with this kind of factory and health team, and it is inevitable to reform and change the packaging.

But now that the Restoration Dynasty has just built a foundation, the small building has not yet been built, and the interior decoration is even more shadowless, and the overall look is still "old, broken, and old", so how can Jia Liu abandon his martial arts as Lao Zheng wishes.

You know, the prerequisite for the transformation of an agrarian country into an industrial country is a strong bureaucracy that resolutely implements the supreme directives.

At this time of changes unseen in 3,000 years, we will inevitably encounter resistance from conservatives, decadents, and hostile factions, such as passive resistance from the yang and the yin.

In this way, the existence of the House Committee is justified.

All enemies who dare to oppose the new emperor will be crushed by the Internal Affairs Committee!

The official statement is that the principle cannot be shaken.

What can Lao Zheng do?

His Majesty the Emperor doubted his position, and could only reluctantly state that the ministers could obey, but reserved their opinions.

Jia Liu is still satisfied with this attitude, no matter what you Lao Zheng thinks, just implement it for me now.

Of course, Jia Liu still trusted Lao Zheng very much, so he handed over a large number of official vacancies caused by the "Iron Fist Operation" to him, that is, Lao Zheng was fully responsible for the adjustment, appointment and dismissal of new prefectures and counties in the province.

"I have always been eclectic in employing people, as long as I have talent, whether I have merit or not."

Jia Liu also pointed out a new method of employing people, that is, to discover talents from among the "officials" who do not enter the stream, especially those who have served for a long time in the six rooms of government offices at all levels and are familiar with government affairs, laws, and people's feelings.

Such people do not have to be rigid about their background, they can be boldly appointed, and they can be promoted to officials by officials.

But there is a premise, and that is that you must not serve locally.

The Liufang personnel were the spokesmen of the local gentry group, and their existence made it impossible for the government to directly connect with the people, resulting in the officials appointed by the imperial court having to rely on them, otherwise the government decree would really not go out of the county government, which is the so-called "imperial power does not go to the countryside".

In order to support such non-staff personnel, a large number of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes appeared, which made the burden on the people extremely heavy.

When Jia Liu was the governor of Zhili, he talked to Yang Jingsu, then the political envoy, about this phenomenon, and the solution he gave at that time was financial integration.

However, it was not possible to implement the programme then, including now, because of the large amount of financial resources required.

It is optimistic that it will take at least five years for the full implementation of the fiscal integration programme.

Therefore, it is impossible for Jia Liuzi to let Lao Zheng, the governor of Hubei, conduct a pilot project at the moment.

Hubei will be poorer than anyone else, and the complete financial deficit is not for him to find a way to get a large amount of money from those unruly officials, and officials at all levels in Hubei will have to ask for food.

The intricate relationship between the Liufang personnel and the local government is certainly a major drawback, but the professional knowledge of these people is incomparable to the officials who have been elected by the imperial examination.

Why is it that after some local officials have been dismissed, the yamen has been able to operate during the months-long gap before the new officials take office?

Isn't it because these professionals are sustaining operations?

Opening up the channel of progress for these professionals who could not have "progressed" in the past can not only make the operation of government affairs smoother, reduce the loss of time and resources, but also improve the actual influence of "imperial power" in the countryside.

At the same time, these progressive officials, in turn, will suppress the local gentry, because they have jumped out of the original class, and these officials, who are familiar with the local insiders, will inevitably suppress the local gentry if they want to make political achievements in order to achieve greater progress.

It's very simple.

In the past, the people who called Jia Liu the "six sons" grabbed a lot of them, but now, how many dare to call them that?

Progress is the most powerful weapon for breaking down all class gaps.

Lao Zheng is a pragmatic official, and he has been an official for decades, of course, he knows that this new method of employing people proposed by His Majesty the Emperor is right, but after all, he is a traditional scholar and doctor, and he also fought for the imperial examination, which is a road for which tens of millions of people are fighting for it.

Therefore, it is inevitable that His Majesty the Emperor will bypass the imperial examination and use a large number of people who are not in the stream.

Considering the characteristics of the times, Jia Liu didn't want to take too big a step, so he said happily: "Then you Hubei will first pilot an internal public examination." ”

"Internal exams?"

His Majesty the Emperor's endless stream of new terms made Lord Futai, who had read poetry and books, a little overwhelmed.

"You, the governor, will first determine the personnel, and then gather these talents who are to be appointed as officials to Xiangyang, and you, the governor, will be the examiner himself."

What to test?

The content of the traditional imperial examination accounts for 30%, and the professional knowledge of government affairs accounts for 70%, and the list of those who have passed the examination is reported to the imperial court, and the officials are awarded by the ministry.

In order to reduce the impact and reduce resistance, Jia Liu asked Lao Zheng to organize this work in the name of "Grace Test".

The new emperor will ascend the throne and there must be a grace test, and the scale of the grace test is large and small, and the internal examination of Hubei is a small test, which is limited to Hubei Province, and has little influence, so it will not give the world much touch.

Lao Zheng is also a serious official, and after discussing the details of the trial with His Majesty the Emperor at the moment, and asking for a special fund of 400,000 taels from His Majesty the Emperor, he did not mention the matter of the Internal Affairs Committee.

After standing on the side and listening to the bolt pillar for a long time, Zheng Futai left, put forward his own opinion: "Young master, I think what Lord Zheng said may not be unreasonable, the internal affairs committee is a little bad, I am afraid that the power will be too great in the future, I think it is better to hang the internal affairs committee under my internal affairs office, and it should be no problem for me to take care of it for the young master." ”

"Zhu, I am relieved that you are doing things, young master,"

Jia Liuyu glanced at the bolt pillar, "But you go back and ask someone first, can you grow potatoes over there in Ningguta?" If you can, you can plant for two years. ”

"Ugh"

Ninguta Bolt Pillar knew, but he really didn't know what a potato was.

When he was puzzled, the young master had already left, but he went to pick up the second young grandmother and His Royal Highness Keqing.

When his wife and son came back, of course Jia Liu had to pick it up in person.

After waiting for less than half an hour in Shili Pavilion outside the city, the convoy escorting Yuanyuan's mother and son arrived.

Without waiting for Yuanyuan to get out of the car with her son, Jia Liu couldn't wait to jump into the car and hold his son in his arms, kissed him a few times, and then said to Yuanyuan with a smile: "I thought your father would detain your mother and son and not return them to me." ”

Yuanyuan glared at her husband angrily: "Do you think my father will be that kind of person?" ”

"Of course not,"

Jia Liu chuckled, hugged Keqing in one hand, pulled Yuanyuan out of the car with the other, and asked casually: "Is your father sending someone over this time to reconcile with my son-in-law?" ”

"Father never told me about you,"

Seeing that her son's shoes had fallen off, Yuanyuan bent down to pick them up and help her son put them on, "My father didn't want me to know, he said that women shouldn't care about men's affairs, especially the affairs of the state." ”
