Chongzhen came to the Wenxuan Division of the Ministry of Officials, followed by Wang Yongguang and Bi Ziyan.

Brought Wang Yongguang because he was the old leader of the Ministry of Officials after all, although he did not act for the Ministry of Officials after entering the cabinet, and was essentially set aside by Chongzhen, but he still had a little residual power.

The purpose of self-strictness is to carry out the previously discussed system of joint operation of the liquor industry and the supply and marketing of tea.

Although the household department has already assigned specific tasks, in the eyes of the officials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty who have just received the decree, this thing is still a dead letter and will not be too concerned.

To put it bluntly, we must let these civil officials see what benefits they have for their careers and vital interests by working hard to promote these policies.

Chongzhen Dama Jindao sat on the main seat, and standing in front of him was the restless Wenxuan Shilangzhong, and his chief and scribe.

Although Wenxuan Shilang is known as the world's first five-grade official, he almost controls the transfer of middle and low-grade magistrates in the country, and he is also a bold figure who walks without looking at the road on weekdays.

But after all, this is a face saint, and for him, it is also an opportunity that he never dreamed of.

"Have you seen the liquor industry joint venture and tea supply and marketing system implemented by the Ministry of Households?"

Wen Xuan Shi Lang hurriedly replied, "The minister has studied carefully, it is really a pearl of words, a pedantic celestial, and the minister cries bitterly, and he has a great harvest!" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand, "I don't need to shoot my sycophants." I'm here to ask you to do three things. ”

Wen Xuan Shilang hurriedly made a respectful posture to listen to the lecture.

"The first thing is that Sichuan, South Zhili, North Zhili, Henan, Huguang and several other famous wine-making towns, or places rich in tea, in the next five years, the promotion and transfer of officials of the five products and below, when other conditions are the same, will be ranked by wine and tea income as the benchmark!"

Wang Yongguang pondered for a moment, and still admonished, "Your Majesty is wise and martial, vigorous and resolute, it is really my great blessing of the Ming Dynasty!" “

"However, the minister is a little worried that some ignorant villagers may attack the imperial court too quickly, and some people will even stir up controversy, saying that the imperial court is competing with the people for profit."

Chongzhen shook his head, "I can't wait for them to swallow the water, the natural silver and rice wheat harvested next year will be good if there are 10 million taels, and Liaozhen alone will cost 5 million taels." ”

"Northwest disaster relief and counterinsurgency, Zhili training, repairing the city wall, which one is not urgent, and which one does not need silver?"

"The more money they collect, the court can do more and save a few more victims. Of course, I want to increase my income first. ”

"Besides, this is competing for benefits with the people, and the official documents of the household department are clearly written, whether it is a joint venture system or a supply and marketing system, there is no compulsion, and it is completely win-win cooperation."

"Local officials at all levels have the responsibility to guard the territory, and they should be strict in their judgments, and they should explain the truth to the students and eunuchs in the state and county towns on weekdays. If someone insists on making trouble, then they should also understand that the law is not a decoration. ”

"If you can't do it, then don't expect anything from you."

Wen Xuan Shilang nodded yes and hurriedly wrote it down.

"The second thing is that in the future, the magistrates must in principle rotate between regions. Officials who have served in Jiangnan, Huguang, Henan, and Sichuan for more than 10 years either go to the northwest and Liaodong, or go to the southwest. ”

"I don't care what their background is. In the Ministry of Officials, only my rules are rules. If you want to be comfortable, you don't want a future, and if you want a future, you don't want to be comfortable. ”

Chongzhen knows that even with this arrangement, there are many people who are unwilling to leave Anle Township and are willing to retire in situ at a low grade.

But he doesn't care, he just wants those ambitious people to fill the most difficult positions in the Ming Dynasty, so that he can select the best of the best and promote the best ministers to govern the world.

He added, "Whether it is a relative of the emperor or a scholar who comes to you, you will tell them what I have to say. If they are still entangled, you can tell their names to Dongchang, and I will instruct Jinyiwei to handle it strictly and quickly. ”

Wen Xuan Shiro listened to it and felt bitter in his heart.

Chongzhen seemed to be aware of it, and said comfortingly,

"You don't have to have a psychological burden, as long as you enter the ministry, you are my person."

"I have already told the celebrant that for the Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Officials' Literature and Literature Selection Department and the Ministry of Merit, whether they are promoted to the rank of squire or released as a political envoy in the future, as long as they do not commit the great crime of bullying the king, rebelling against human morality, or hurting people's names, all impeachments will be left in the middle and will not be issued."

Everyone present was shocked, this kind of guarantee was undoubtedly more valuable than Hongwu's gold medal for avoiding death.

After all, Hong Wu had executed the heroes who had been awarded the gold medal for avoiding death.

Chongzhen ignored the reactions of others, "The third thing is that the rule that local officials go to Beijing every three years to report on their work will be abolished from now on. A joint inspection team composed of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate shall go to various provinces for random inspections from time to time, and shall not be less than six provinces, ten prefectures, and 30 counties in a year. ”

In the post station of the Ming Dynasty, countless expenses were spent by this official's debriefing, which led to someone proposing to abolish the Northwest Post Station, resulting in the loss of the king of Chuang.

Changing the debriefing to an inspection not only saves a lot of expenditure, but also helps the imperial court to better supervise the place.

Seeing that Wenxuan Shirou had a difficult look on his face, Chongzhen said with concern, "What, is there anything you can't do?" ”

Wenxuan Shilang looked at Lao Shangshu and said, "Your Majesty, in addition to me and the two directors of our Wenxuan Division, there are only about 60 people in total. ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "This matter is easy to deal with, I will send all the young and capable Shuji scholars of the Hanlin Academy to the household department." If it is not enough, you can apply like the household department and find more inmates who donate in and have a reliable reputation as temporary workers. ”

"In short, if the household department is in an emergency, it is necessary to report it to the government in time."

Wang Yongguang struggled for a while, but still asked, "Your Majesty, this inspection position was originally carried out by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but now the officials and households are involved, is there some confusion about the powers and responsibilities?" ”

Chongzhen shook his head, "It is precisely to bring in the officials and households, so that we can see clearly the level of governance and financial revenue and expenditure of the feudal department and the government of the prefecture and the city. ”

Seeing that Chongzhen's mind had been decided, the others were silent, and Chongzhen asked Lieutenant General Wenxuan Shilang to know all this about his colleagues in other ministries and departments, and then returned to the palace.

It is said that the rectification of the Ming Dynasty officials, let alone three, is that three hundred pieces cannot be rectified.

However, after many simulations, Chongzhen knows that it is necessary to distinguish priorities in doing things, and the most important thing at present is the lack of money, lack of people, and lack of real understanding of local governance.

Rather than being exhaustive, it is better to do these three things well first, which can be regarded as training the personnel team of the officials.

Just as Chongzhen was considering whether to go to the Ministry of War to concoct the same method, Wang Chengen suddenly submitted an urgent letter.

It was Yuan Chonghuan from Liao Town, who reported to Shu Bu, the leader of the 36 Karashen families, and proposed to take the edict and trade with Liao Town, and also came to ask for the annual tribute.
