Of course, it is not so much a rebellion as to say that at this moment, the Shi clan, as a once powerful group that can confront the imperial power, has fallen into disarray and is close to collapse.

Where can the scholars who have lost the right to inherit the classics still have the ability to resist the imperial power?

If the imperial examination system is established again, then it may only take ten years, and the past glory of the scholars will disappear, everyone will pursue the imperial examination, everyone yearns for the imperial examination, everyone respects the imperial examination, and the imperial examination will become their everything.

Scholars?

It's just useless and decayed.

Chen Qun thought deeply, and felt that in this matter, the Yingchuan Chen clan really should not have any ideas and needs to oppose Liu Bei, the general trend of the world is mighty, those who follow it prosper and those who rebel die, the Yingchuan Chen clan has survived so many ups and downs, is it going to fall in front of this last hurdle?

Impossible.

After sighing slightly, Chen Qun turned the page.

After that, it was Liu Bei's design of the Nine Grades Official Law.

There are clouds in the Chinese language, the internal officials are not more than nine royals, and the foreign officials are not more than nine products.

Liu Bei thinks that the way to determine the rank of officials according to the number of officials is a little simple and crude.

In his own private opinion, this division of official positions felt the same as that of modern work, which is not divided into positions, but is called by the income of the position.

Employees are not called employees, they are called 3,000 yuan.

A leader is not a leader, not a team leader, a section chief, a manager, a director, or the like, but 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 10,000 and the like.

It is too straightforward to call the leader and say what kind of leader it is, the leader of 7,000 yuan, the leader of 10,000 yuan, etc.

Therefore, he felt that he should use more restrained words to change the title of the official's rank, and cancel the simple, crude and straightforward division.

So he referred to Chen Qun's creativity on different timelines in the future, adopted the classification of official grades from the first grade to the ninth grade, and then designed two kinds of job introductions for each product, which are basically the distinction between the principal and deputy levels of officials, and the treatment is slightly different.

Correspondingly, Liu Bei also set rank standards for officials and incorporated them into the nine-product system.

Because strictly speaking, there are only more than 7,000 officials in the entire Han Dynasty, and the remaining 100,000 are all officials, and if the officials are not included in this system, it means that only a few thousand people enjoy this system, and the remaining 100,000 people are excluded and cannot enjoy the benefits brought by this policy.

Not only does this not talk about politics or unity, but it also doesn't pay much attention to the officials, and it feels like they don't even think of them as their own, which is a bit unreasonable.

In the final analysis, most of the people who finally implement the imperial decrees are officials, and if they are not included in the system, they are not very well managed, and they all feel a little bit nameless.

Therefore, Liu Bei thought about it and felt that the officials should not be excluded, so he stipulated the two ranks of the eighth and ninth grades as the rank of officials.

From the seventh rank upwards, it is the rank of the official, from the ninth rank to the eighth grade, the four ranks, all of which are in the category of officials, and breaking through this category is upgraded from the seventh grade, which is the identity of the official.

This setting can also open up the channel from officials to officials more directly, so that officials and officials are no longer two completely different existences, but two different distinctions in the same system.

The two are convertible.

When a ruler makes a mistake, he is demoted to a clerk.

Officials who have made meritorious deeds can also be promoted to officials.

Officials are officials at the grassroots level, and officials are officials at the top level.

At the same time, in Liu Bei's design, all those who passed the imperial examination and entered the ruling group should start from the Jiupin officials, and there should be no special circumstances.

Even if you are the champion of the first place in the scientific examination, after passing the imperial examination, you must start from the nine rank officials and start from the grassroots level.

The most basic position in the entire Han Empire, the representative of the collective farm, is from the position of Jiupin, in the agriculture-oriented Han Empire, an official does not understand agriculture and does not do production, which is absolutely unacceptable, so Liu Bei made such a request.

As for the military level, it is also possible to apply the nine-grade system to distinguish ranks, as long as the selection of civilian officials is confirmed, it is actually relatively easy for the military to do a skin transformation.

On the whole, Liu Bei believes that the Jiupin Official Law can effectively correspond to positions at all levels of the imperial court, and solve some political contradictions in the past caused by the asymmetry of power due to equal ranks, such as the most typical contradiction between the power and responsibility of the county Taishou and the state assassin.

At the earliest, the rank of the state assassin was not as good as the county guard, but the power was aimed at the county guard, and the contradiction between the two sides could be regarded as targeted.

But in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, the state assassin changed to the status of a state administrative official, from a central official to a local official, no longer relying on the imperial power, but on behalf of himself, and his rank was gradually promoted to 2,000 stones, which was equivalent to the county taishou.

However, the contradiction between the two in the traditional sense and the equality of rank still made the county governor unwilling to obey the state assassin, and the two sides often fought and fought with each other on the issue of power and responsibility, causing restlessness.

Even after Liu Bei took power, it was stipulated that the position of the state assassin was above the county taishou, but the level of the two was still 2,000 stones, regardless of whether it was 2,000 stones or 2,000 stones, speaking of which, it was 2,000 stones.

Therefore, the huge inertia brought by tradition makes some of the veteran county governors still not take the airborne state assassin history seriously, and still want to gain a certain degree of autonomy in the political position, and do not want the state assassin to really coerce themselves and obtain too high power.

For example, Liu Bei's newly appointed Jizhou Thorn Shi Weikai, that is, he was a very outstanding person among the first students of Liangzhou State School, successively served as a county commander and county guard, and did a very good job, was honest and honest as an official, and had a noble character, which was very recognized by the government and the opposition.

But this is such a person, who has only been in office for three months in Jizhou, and has already had conflicts with the three county guards.

The three county guards with old qualifications felt that Wei Kai wanted this and that when a hairy boy came up, it was too shameful to treat them as servants, so they joined forces to participate in Wei Kai's disrespect for the county guards and trample on their dignity.

Without dignity, the county can't raise his head in front of his subordinates, and he can't govern properly, and the behavior of the state assassin is too domineering, and they are deeply dissatisfied and file a complaint with His Majesty the Emperor.

Liu Bei felt a deep headache for this.

Because these four people are doing very well, they are all very effective people in terms of political performance, and there is nothing criminal about it, they just don't like each other and stir up personal emotions.

In the end, Liu Bei could only mediate with the mud.

Liu Bei has indeed encountered a lot of things like this in his years in power, and it is relatively normal for this kind of problem to arise when the division of powers and responsibilities is not clear enough, which is also one of the reasons why he wants to use the Jiupin Official Law to redefine the problems between the ranks of officials.

He wanted to make a clean and clear rule for the new dynasty, everyone should abide by it, and there would be fewer quarrels, so as not to repeat the kind of thing that happened between Tai Shi Ci and Qingzhou Thorn Shi back then.

From the point of view of the Nine-Rank Official Law, Liu Bei plans to stipulate that the state assassin is a third-grade official, and the county Taishou is a fourth-grade official, and the two sides are a whole level apart in rank.

In this way, it can also completely solve the contradictions and disputes between the state assassin and the county governor that have lasted for more than a hundred years, and it can also make it clearer what the difference between the respective positions of the state assassin and the county magistrate is.

Officials are divided into nine grades and eighteen ranks, each of which has a corresponding position, which not only represents the level of status, but also represents the level of officials' income and welfare.

So for some people with little political ambition, rank may be more important than position.

However, in Chen Qun's view, the most eye-catching part of Liu Bei's system is that the officials are included in the system, making it clear that the officials, as a member of the ruling group of the Han Empire, although their ranks are low, they have the right to enjoy the state's benefits and benefits, and everything is clearly priced.

This was not clear in the past.

In the past, limited to financial and political problems, many "officials" who assisted the imperial court in handling affairs could not get any money from the imperial court, and they were almost non-staff personnel who brought their own rations to work, and the imperial court chose to prostitute for nothing.

But is there really a white prostitute in this world?

Perhaps, but the imperial court will definitely not take advantage of this.

If they don't pay their salaries and still have people to do things, such people still hold a certain amount of power, so it's hard to say what they can do to support themselves.

In many eras in the past, one of the main reasons for the corruption of the government was that the court was reluctant to pay, and the old men only wanted to eat meat by themselves, and did not want to suffer themselves, so they gave the officials some money to let them live in peace.

When Liu Bei came to him, when the finances were affluent, he stipulated the positions of officials in four official ranks, from the ninth rank to the eighth grade, from the representative of the collective farm to the county government and the county government, a total of forty or fifty positions were included in these four official ranks.

And this is also the main body of the ruling group of the Han Empire, they will be able to get a share of their income and benefits from the imperial court, compared to the attribute of watching the sky and eating in the past, now, their lives will be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Moreover, Liu Bei's method of selecting officials through the imperial examination effectively improved the basic quality of officials, so that the grassroots governance personnel of the Third Reich were no longer those "village sages", but "cultural people" with a certain degree of cultural literacy and self-moral cultivation.

Such a shift should have been fruitful for grassroots governance in the Third Reich.

After Chen Qun read it once, he still felt that it was not enjoyable, and he felt that some places had not been seen through, so he continued to read it, read it again, read it again, and read it again and again six times.

When it was finally time for lunch, Yang Xiu, who had a good relationship with Chen Qun, finished dealing with a table of things, raised his eyes and saw that Chen Qun was looking at something, so he got up and called him to prepare to eat in the big cafeteria.

Yesterday he chatted with the master after eating in the cafeteria, and heard that there was fried chicken nuggets to eat at noon today.

Fried chicken nuggets are high-end goods, and Yang Xiu is usually not willing to eat such high-end food at home, so he is very happy to call Chen Qun to go to the canteen to eat and enjoy the special care of His Majesty the Emperor.

As we all know, the central canteen is handled by His Majesty the Emperor with the money of the Shaofu, and the officials who work in the imperial court eat for free without money, which is one of the employee benefits given by His Majesty the Emperor, and everyone is very grateful to His Majesty the Emperor for his great kindness.

Yang Xiu stood up and walked to Chen Qun's desk, and saw at a glance that the government affairs documents piled up did not look like they had been processed, he picked up a copy and opened it to take a look, and sure enough, it was not processed.

Didn't they all deal with it?

He read several books in a row, and found that they had not been dealt with, which surprised him greatly.

Chen Qun has always been the king of the cabinet, a small expert in handling government affairs, and the average efficiency of handling government affairs is three percent higher than that of ordinary cabinet members.

If it was in the past, it was Chen Qun who took the lead in finishing the morning's affairs, and then waited for Yang Xiu to have lunch, but now it was the other way around.

"Changwen, what are you doing? You haven't dealt with so many government affairs? Are you planning to fight at night? ”

Hearing this, Chen Qun raised his head and looked at Yang Xiu with a blink.

"Dezu? What's wrong? ”

"What's wrong? What have you been doing all morning? So many government affairs are piled up in front of you, and you haven't dealt with it? ”

Yang Xiu looked at Chen Qun in surprise: "Are you not feeling well?" Sick? ”

Chen Qun looked at the government affairs piled up on the side of the hill, stunned for a moment, and then covered his eyes.

"I was so engrossed that I forgot the time! Oh, my God...... So many ......"

"What do you see into God? Can you still lose track of time? ”

Yang Xiu curiously picked up the notebook from Chen Qun's hand and flipped through the first page.

"The Imperial Examination and the Nine Rank Official Law? What is it? ”

"This is a brand-new method of selecting and appointing officials that Your Majesty has prepared to reform the system of probation."

Chen Qun sorted out the government affairs that he had forgotten to handle, sighed and said, "Because it is very important, Your Majesty asked for my opinion, so I have been watching it...... Dezu, there are too many of these things, there are other government affairs in the afternoon, can you help me share some of them? ”

Yang Xiu opened the second page, and was instantly attracted by what was written in it, and he was looking at this document energetically, and nodded unconsciously.

"Okay, all right."

Chen Qun was overjoyed.

"Thank you!"

Then he got up and moved half of the documents in the pile of small mountains in front of him to Yang Xiu's desk.

After coming back, Chen Qun looked at the government affairs in front of him, thought about the workload in the afternoon and evening, and thought about the speed at which he handled government affairs, and the feedback information he had to take time to write to Liu Bei, so he felt that there was still too much work.

So Chen Qun took more than a dozen government affairs watches and threw them to Yang Xiu, and asked Yang Xiu to help him deal with them.

After leaving about two-thirds of the things to Yang Xiu to do, Chen Qun suddenly felt as light as a swallow and was very happy, as if he had already dealt with a lot of things in the morning.

Then, he felt hungry in his stomach, so he pulled Yang Xiu, took the Chinese piece in his hand and put it back on his desk, and dragged Yang Xiu to the direction of the cafeteria.

"Let's go to lunch, didn't you say you had chicken nuggets today?" If you don't go, you won't be able to eat much. ”

Yang Xiu had just seen the elaboration of the content of the segmented examination in the imperial examination, and he was looking at it, when he was dragged by Chen Qun to eat all of a sudden, and he didn't react a little, but finally reacted, and Yang Xiu realized what important thing he had just seen.

A new way to choose and appoint officials?

That's a big deal!

It's a big deal for the entire group of officials!
