Zhu Jingyuan listened to his son's statement, and was really a little surprised.

Zhu Dilan's system, which allows officials to step down periodically, is designed to form two bureaucratic groups that target each other, a bit like the multi-party system of Tessie in the previous life.

To some extent, a multi-party system can indeed curb bureaucratic corruption.

But as with all systems, once the components of the institution itself are corrupted, the means of curbing corruption become mere formalities.

For example, the two parties in the United States have formed a tacit understanding that they will take turns to come to power to make crazy money, and after they step down, they will not reveal each other's secrets.

Unless someone moves the interests of the entire ruling group, it is possible that it will be done by the neuropathic gunman.

Others will be fine as long as they profit from the rules.

But it just looks a little bit like that.

Even if the Ming Dynasty really wanted to establish a system of rotation of bureaucratic groups, it would be a completely different system in nature.

The basis of the Thai-Western court was a multi-party system and an electoral system.

The chief officials of the yamen at all levels, from top to bottom, are usually directly elected at regular intervals.

Then these elected chief officials directly appoint people in their circles to be officials in various departments.

It was impossible for the Ming court to implement such a system.

At the same time, the promotion and appointment of officials in the Ming Dynasty are all the responsibility of the officials and subordinate yamen, and they are all subject to assessment and screening.

It is impossible to allow the chief officer to choose his own people, not even the secretary.

There are too many issues to consider about how to do it.

There are also many problems with officials serving in different places.

Letting locals be local officials is not only because of accents, but also because of cost.

Outsiders simply don't know what is going on locally.

If a certain degree of controllable corruption can greatly improve administrative efficiency, then this kind of corruption can be tolerated.

The use of locals by grassroots officials is based on this logic.

So Zhu Jingyuan asked directly:

"Do you have a mature idea and plan for the rotation of your bureaucracy?

"How do you create two bureaucracies that are independent of each other or even hostile? What are the specific conditions to distinguish the system?

"How do you avoid the two systems being connected to each other and forming a tacit understanding?

"During the rotation of the two systems, how will the deposed officials be placed? What are the benefits?

"How can they be thoroughly verified?

"When the two systems are rotated, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the affairs of the yamen, how to prevent and deal with it?

"How will I elect an official in the future?

"The point is, have you considered the cost of the two bureaucratic systems?

"There is also the issue of officials serving in different places, have you considered how much the efficiency of grassroots administration will be reduced as a result?"

In the face of these questions, Judy Lanan also answered honestly:

"At present, Erchen only has a relatively general idea, and there is no specific and detailed plan that can be implemented for the time being.

"Specifically, it is to divide the bureaucrats of each yamen into two groups: 'chao' and 'ye'.

"The 'courtiers' are in power in the court, and they hold their posts normally and handle the affairs of the yamen.

"'Wild' people are purged in the wilderness, subject to examination and assessment, receive post and supervision education, and arrange their positions in advance according to their achievements and abilities.

"Supervise the conduct of the system in the DPRK, count and collate official and non-governmental data, and report the actual situation to His Majesty and the people.

"Once every three years, His Majesty, the people, and the opposition system jointly assess the overall level of governance in the DPRK system in the past three years.

"Those who are generally excellent can continue to govern in the DPRK for three years, and can stay in the DPRK twice in a row for a total of nine years.

"After two consecutive periods in the DPRK, it is necessary to go to the opposition, and the original opposition group will be in power, and the performance of the previous system in the DPRK must be calculated.

"Only by vigorously exposing the mistakes and corruption of those in the DPRK will they have a chance to get the incumbents to step down early.

"After going to court, we must also vigorously investigate the mistakes and corruption of the other side.

"These two groups should not need to be specifically divided, as long as there is a little guidance, they will form naturally.

"The opposition are allies who attack the court, and the courtiers can also be enemies.

"After everyone leaves the field, if they can pass the verification, they can choose to quit the bureaucracy and no longer participate in the DPRK in the future.

"If you choose to stay in the bureaucracy, you should be able to continue to get a certain amount of money.

Such an approach would likely double the actual number of bureaucrats and would certainly increase the financial burden on the imperial court.

"When the two systems are switched, there will also be a short period of confusion and additional resource consumption.

"So it's important to consider that this increase in financial burden and resource consumption can be covered by the anti-corruption benefits it brings.

"It is also important to consider whether our governing bodies can ensure that the system is implemented fairly and fairly.

"Historically, many policies are not bad, but they did not have the conditions for implementation at that time, or the benefits did not cover the costs, and the gains outweighed the losses.

"Therefore, it is necessary to have enough professionals to do a more detailed assessment before deciding whether to implement it.

And how, to what extent and to what level.

"It still has to be achieved at what level of productivity.

"Or it is necessary to reduce the consumption of the non-ruling personnel system as much as possible through the detailed design of the system.

"As for the officials, Erchen actually has another idea, which should be able to slightly reduce the negative effects of the local officials.

"It is in the richest local areas that the new generation of rich and idle people in the people are mobilized to act as grassroots officials or civil supervisors.

"To encourage them to participate, they can come up with a grassroots knighthood.

"If you have worked in your hometown yamen for five years and have received excellent comprehensive evaluation, you can get official treatment.

"After working for ten years, the comprehensive evaluation is still excellent, and you can get the title of countryman for life.

"After fifteen years of work, the comprehensive evaluation is still excellent, and you can get the title of squire for life.

"The specific evaluation method can take into account the original assessment standards of the yamen, plus the direct evaluation of the people they have received.

"The whole process and the results have to be made public on the Yamen Internet.

"These people no longer have a direct business, and they themselves are not short of money, and now they are beginning to pursue a sense of honor.

"The official status and title of the imperial court should be attractive to them.

"It's just that I'm not sure whether these ideas are reasonable, the key is how costly and feasible they are, and whether they can achieve the desired results."

Zhu Jingyuan heard that his son did not take care of everything, and directly said things that he himself could not be sure of, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart:

"If you are not sure, you can do a local pilot first, observe the actual situation and then decide whether to promote it."

Judy Lanthanum agreed directly without any opinion:

"Erchen understands."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded slightly, and then continued to ask other questions:

"What should be done if the goods produced by the four major industrial groups cannot be sold in a large area?"

What Zhu Jingyuan is talking about is actually overproduction, that is, the total amount of commodity production in society that greatly exceeds the demand for those who have the ability to pay, and this is a typical characteristic of the economic crisis.

However, the economic structure of the Ming Dynasty is special, and there is no talk of overproduction.

After hearing this, Judy Lanan said with some uncertainty:

"Goods produced...... Piled up in a large area?

"That's probably because workers are producing more goods than customers can buy with their current income.

"Essentially, productivity should have risen, but people's income and purchasing power have not risen in tandem.

"If this situation continues to accumulate, there is a possibility of an economic crisis.

"So you can't reduce production at this time.

"Because to reduce production, we have to reduce bonuses and even reduce workers' wages.

"The income of a large number of workers will be reduced, the purchasing power of the market will be further reduced, and things will be even more unsellable.

"In the end, a vicious circle is formed.

At this time, the imperial court can come forward to send money to the workers in an emergency.

"But don't overdo it, sending a large amount directly may not be good, and sending too much may also lead to currency depreciation.

"Then raise the minimum wage standard.

"Let the basic income of the largest group in society continue to increase steadily.

"However, direct payments and higher wages will increase the amount of money in the market, which may lead to inflation and a general rise in prices.

"People may feel that their money is worthless.

"Therefore, it is necessary to let the four major industrial groups start a large-scale price reduction promotion at the same time.

This, in turn, forces money to appreciate relative to commodity prices.

"How much money should be paid, how much the minimum wage should be raised, the scale of the price reduction promotion and the discount, should be professionally calculated.

"Let the increase in the amount of money in the market be prominent, and the total supply of goods will increase simultaneously.

"Ultimately, productivity and purchasing power growth will be balanced.

"Ordinary people will feel that they have more money in their hands, and things in the market have become cheaper.

"And this should have been a direct result of the rise in productivity.

"If you want to take the opportunity to clean up private manufacturers, you can directly use a larger price reduction promotion."

The four major industrial groups were originally oligopoly manufacturers, but only with the restrictions and requirements of the imperial court formed a limited competition mechanism.

If the imperial court asks them to cooperate, and at the same time large-scale price reduction promotion, it is a monopoly manufacturer dumping and smashing.

Theoretically, it could lead to currency appreciation, capital flight, and deflation.

But everyone in this world has nowhere to escape but to eat the impact of this dumping, or simply withdraw from the market.

Deflation may also not be apparently reflected in practice.

Because there is no other currency to compare.

In the eyes of the existing ordinary consumer groups, the amount of money in their hands has not changed, but the items on the market are cheaper.

The end result is a fall in prices, an increase in the value of money relative to prices, and an increase in the purchasing power of money.

Forcibly smoothing out the difference between productivity and purchasing power.

Manufacturers with high production costs, or manufacturers who do not have sufficient cash reserves and rely too much on borrowing may fail in the process of market restructuring.

After listening to this, Zhu Jingyuan did not respond to what Judy Lanthanum should do, but returned to his desk.

I turned on the electronic edict system on my computer and drew up a decree of appointment myself.

After using the electronic signature in the computer, it was printed out and manually signed again, and finally handed it directly to Judy Lanthanum on the spot.

When Zhu Dilanum took it with both hands, she subconsciously thought it was the appointment letter of the Ministry of Justice.

At a glance, I realized that it was an order to canonize myself as the king of the county.

Judy Lanthanum breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably:

"Father Xie's ......"

What Judy Lanan wants most is a knighthood, which means that she will be able to get more money every year in the future.

The king of the county is 50,000 silver bills per year, and the prince is 100,000 silver bills.

Judy Lanthanum is twenty-four years old this year, and the speed of getting the title of county king is relatively fast, and many princes can't get it until they are thirty years old.

The main reason is that most of the princes graduated at the age of about eighteen, and the local practical training took at least twelve years to complete.

By the time they return to Beijing, they are usually about 30 years old.

As for the title of prince, we have to wait.

It is necessary to serve in various ministries of the central court for several years, and it is considered to have completed the final stage of practical training, and only then can you have the opportunity to get it directly.

If the work in the various ministries of the imperial court is not qualified, then there will only be a county king in this life.

Judy Lanthanum was very happy and thanked from the bottom of her heart:

"Son-in-law Di Lan, thank your father for your grace."

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite:

"It's just a printed copy of the letter of appointment, the official edict of canonization and the letter of robes, which will be made and sent to your home.

"There will be a unified official canonization ceremony to follow......

"Don't talk about that, it's not too early now, come with me to your mother's place for dinner......"

Zhu Di Lan also missed her mother, of course, she couldn't refuse, and followed Zhu Jingyuan to Wang Ya's palace.

Judy Lanthanum went to visit her mother, and then had dinner with her parents, during which the family talked about more personal matters.

Zhu Di Lan also told her parents about some of her local experiences and experiences, which were more interesting or special.

In the afternoon, Zhu Jingyuan would go to the Qing Palace to work, and left Zhu Dilanum in Wang Ya's palace to continue to talk with her mother.

Starting the morning of the next day, Zhu Jingyuan successively recruited the princes who had completed the training into the palace to talk.

In the same year that Judy Lanan left Beijing, six princes graduated.

But there are as many as 16 princes who have been recalled to Beijing this year.

Because Zhu Di Lanthanum actually ended the local training ahead of schedule, two years less than the normal training.

In addition, there are some princes, who cannot be assessed during the training process, and there is a situation where they stay at the same level for an extra year.

In addition, this year is a special year for the 30th year of the Grand Duke, and Zhu Jingyuan is almost the prince who has been out of Beijing for three consecutive years, and he has been recalled to Beijing together.

Zhu Jingyuan talked one by one, asking similar questions that had been discussed with Zhu Dilan, or other completely different questions.

The princes have been training in the local area for more than ten years, and they have accumulated enough experience in dealing with things.

Although he is still nervous and cautious when facing his father, he is no longer as nervous as he was when he was a child.

The answers are also quite sophisticated and smooth, and they can express their thoughts and ideas normally.

The content of the answers itself is good, some are radical and generous, some are cautious and conservative, and some are thoughtful.

However, in Zhu Jingyuan's opinion, other children are not as calm as Zhu Dilan.

They always feel like they're reserved about themselves.

According to their evaluation of their local political performance, combined with their performance in the on-site Q&A conversation, Zhu Jingyuan made five county kings and ten princes.

The prince who has completed the local training, and now being crowned a prince does not mean that he will also be a prince in the future.

After completing the practical training of the central ministries, they will basically be directly promoted to the title of county king, and after the age of forty, they will be crowned princes.

But now it's just the words of the Duke of the Kingdom, which also means that the emperor's father is not very satisfied with himself.

Daming's competition for the throne is, to put it bluntly, to satisfy Dad.

So after taking a few princes from the country, they all knew that they had basically lost the throne.

The princes who won the county king are still under expectation and pressure.

Waiting for the official appointment in the coming year.

According to the tradition of the past, the official secretary is the prince.

The Zongrenfu has done the official documents, the dress and the seal letter, and the time is also at the end of the year.

In the thirtieth year of the Grand Duke, on December 21, Zhu Jingyuan left the Qianqing Palace and came to the main hall of the Fengtian Palace.

He presided over the canonization and inheritance ceremony of the princes, grandsons, princes, and princes.

After the knighthood canonization and raiding ceremony, Zhu Jingyuan took out an additional holy decree and asked the great uncle at the scene to read it.

The first few formulaic sentences, the core content of which is only one sentence.

"Ordered the sixty-fourth son of the emperor, Wang Dilan, to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

As soon as this sentence came out, the pupils of everyone at the scene contracted suddenly.

Then the others all looked at Judy Lanthanum with equally complicated eyes with unusually mixed feelings.

Judy Lanthanum is also in mixed moods.

Really let yourself be the secretary of the ministry, did your old man really choose me?

It's just that there is still a part-time job?

Obviously, when I get to the prefect and above, I don't have any free time at all.

Dali Temple is the highest court of the Ming Dynasty, which does not belong to Jiuqing and the yamen of various ministries, but directly belongs to the emperor.

Dali Siqing's identity is now equivalent to Jiuqing, and the number of Shaoqing is no longer one, but a few to a dozen at a fixed rate.

But this important appointment is here, and any doubts have to be put on the back burner.

Judy Lanthanum first bowed down honestly and thanked her:

"Father Xie's imperial weapon is heavy...... Erchen must do his best to do a good job in the work of the Ministry and Dali Temple......"

Zhu Jingyuan bowed slightly, and then announced the end of the ceremony.

Zhu Jingyuan chose the secretary of the ministry, the courtiers were relieved, and the other princes were also dead.

The atmosphere of the 30th year of the Grand Duke has also been relatively stable.

After the New Year, Zhu Di Lan went to the two yamen to report, and then ran on both sides to learn to do things.

For Zhu Dilan, the affairs of the ministry are not difficult, but there are many details and rules.

However, the details and rules are relatively fixed, and in principle, they are not adjusted as much as possible, so it is easy to get familiar with them.

Dali Temple is completely reversed.

As the Supreme Court of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, there are not many daily affairs handled, and the management affairs are not complicated.

But when it comes to specific cases, it's basically a big deal.

After the Renwu Dynasty, except for the cases that were directly tried by the Dali Temple as specifically requested and stipulated by the emperor, the other cases in the Dali Temple were appealed all the way from below.

Being able to go through the county, government, and provincial levels, and still insisting on appealing or not being able to hear clearly, is an absolutely troublesome matter.

After half a year, Zhu Di Lan was basically familiar with the rules of the Ministry of Officials, and slowly adapted to the affairs of Dali Temple.

As a result, Zhu Jingyuan sent Zhu Dilanum a request, or a reminder.

You can start choosing a suitable location to pilot the reform of the official system and the reform of the bureaucracy system that Zhu Dilanum herself proposed.

Judy Lanan had to move the center of work to the side of the bureaucracy.

After careful discussion with the staff of the Ministry of Officials, he explained that he had considered a more mature idea.

Then they chose Songjiang Prefecture, Shanghai Prefecture, Yingtianfu and Shangyuan County to try out the rotation supervision system of the dual system of officials, the government and the opposition.

In addition, Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, and Chongming County, Nantong Prefecture were selected to try out the system of regular layoffs and non-local appointments of officials.

Jiangning County, Yingtianfu, and Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture were selected to try out the system of knighthood upon the expiration of the term of local officials by senior scholars of the private sector.

For most of the Ming Dynasty and most of the ordinary people, the next two years were no different from before.

There was already a new prince's official book, and the court officials' apprehension about the succession of the throne had subsided.

Most of the officials of the imperial court, the scholars who were interested in politics, and the common people, attracted the greatest attention to these three reforms.

The rotation system of the government and the opposition system has made all officials have mixed feelings.

The good news is that the dual system of rotational leave means that the number of vacancies has directly doubled, and everyone feels that they have a greater chance of becoming an official or being promoted.

The so-called opposition officials are considered by the existing bureaucrats to be trial titles or fictitious titles, but they are fictitious titles with a maximum candidacy period.

At least three years, at most nine years, as long as you can endure it, you can really become the corresponding official.

What worries us is that this system clearly provokes officials to attack each other, and officials in the opposition have to go all out to find fault with the officials of the DPRK.

In order to change from a fictitious title to a regular official as soon as possible, they will definitely do everything, or the emperor allows it.

And the officials in power in the DPRK have to accept a full liquidation after going into the opposition, which is very uncomfortable.

The key is that this system is still promoted by the prince who is the secretary of the ministry.

Many conservative officials want to oppose it, but they are hesitant to face this identity and dare not directly and publicly submit the letter.

As for the reform of the system of officials, although most officials feel that it is inappropriate, there are also some family members who are officials and do not want the court to do this.

However, the degree of inadequacy of this system is far lower than that of the dual system of rotation of officials.

At the same time, it was also promoted by the prince of the Ministry of Officials.

It's even less worth leaving a bad impression on Judy Lanthanum specifically for this matter.

So for the next year or so, although there was a lot of pressure and resentment within the court and the bureaucracy, it was not released.

At the end of the thirty-first year of the Grand Duke, Judy Lan was promoted to the rank of Tsukasa.

The courtiers and the prince didn't find anything abnormal, and for the prince as the heir, the work of the official department and the tomb was actually highly similar.

Ordinary officials may not necessarily participate in the early dynasty, but Zhu Di Lan, even if she is not Jiuqing, will participate in the early dynasty.

However, when the first month of the 33rd year of the Grand Duke opened, Zhu Dilanum was suddenly transferred to the position of the Grand Sect Doctor and the President of the Criminal Law Court, and at the same time officially crowned the title of prince.

At this moment, the other princes and ministers were all stunned, did Zhu Jingyuan give up the heir of Zhu Di Lan?

However, Zhu Jingyuan did not arrange for other princes to be the secretary of the ministry, but replaced them with ordinary courtiers.

The hearts of all the princes are entangled to the extreme.

But I don't know what Daddy thinks, and no one dares to ask directly.

Some people's minds come alive again and start to work hard.

Some ministers also began to write letters, either explicitly or implicitly, opposing the system of rotating supervision of officials in the government and the opposition.

Zhu Jingyuan directly ignored the hints.

In response to the explicit direct rhetorical question, do you have anything corrupt that you are worried about being fully supervised by your colleagues?

The emperor expressed his attitude in this way.

Although there is no clear support, it is obviously not opposed, and it is necessary to see the effect.

Although Zhu Di Lan was also a little surprised, and she didn't understand what her father was going to do, she didn't panic in her heart.

Anyway, the princely title has already been obtained, and if he doesn't let himself be the emperor, it is equivalent to retiring at the age of thirty with a pension of 100,000 silver bills.

It really doesn't matter if you don't let yourself be the emperor.

Zhu Jingyuan just wanted to see the reaction of his son and ministers, but Zhu Dilan's state made Zhu Jingyuan feel quite satisfied.

Whatever the reason, the performance is really pampered.

What is being done is still done in an orderly manner, and it still adheres to the logic of getting things done as soon as possible and resting.

Zhu Jingyuan began to move by himself and moved to the place where his grandfather once lived.
