Monument Yangmen

Chapter 882 Dispatching
"First of all, there is the recommendation of officials. We have a vast territory and need tens of thousands of officials. However, I have suspended the imperial examination system, so there is a shortage of officials everywhere.

In addition, a group of officials were executed for causing trouble and corruption before.

There are as many as thousands of officials who are vacant.

So I decided to drop talents regardless of style.

Anyone who is capable and clean, regardless of their origin, can be recommended.

When necessary, personnel can be selected from retired military officers to fill the vacancies of officials. "

Yang Qi talked slowly.

Zhao Pu pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Perhaps it doesn't need to be so troublesome. There are many official positions in the imperial court, and the duties and powers are repeated. If we implement a streamlined army and a simplified administration, we should be able to clear out a group of officials, and the imperial court will select some available from these officials. If there is a shortage, we can solve the problem of not enough officials.”

Su Yijian and the six of them nodded in agreement when they heard the words.

Yang Qi nodded and said: "That's what I'm going to say next. We've been implementing the decree of elite soldiers, and we've achieved good results. But in terms of streamlining administration, we haven't kept up with it in time.

One is the initial establishment of Yan State. In order to stabilize the people as soon as possible, I have to temporarily adopt some old systems of Song State in Hedong and Jiangnan.In places such as the former South China, the old system is still adopted.

Second, the establishment of the imperial court was short-lived, and a hasty restructuring would cause many people to backlash.

For these two reasons, the streamlining of administration has been stagnant.

But now, the country of Yan is stable, the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the sea tide has attracted a large number of rich and powerful families to go to sea, helping us to divert the attention of the world.

We can safely and boldly take advantage of this sea tide to reform the official system at all levels of the imperial court.

To achieve one official post, no repetition, no superposition.

At the same time, through this reform, we can assess officials, the capable ones will be promoted, the mediocre will be demoted, the redundant ones will be eliminated, and the missing ones will be supplemented. "

Kou Zhun interjected: "Your Majesty, what are the conditions for evaluating officials? And what are the conditions for recommending officials?"

Yang Qi held up a finger and said firmly: "There is only one condition I ask for, and that is to be pragmatic, absolutely pragmatic. I don't care about his background, nor how talented he is, let alone how famous he is.

I only look at one thing, and that is whether he can lead the people to live a good life after he becomes an official.

As long as the people's life is getting better and better, he is a good official in the real eyes and can pass my assessment.

I don't care about the official's background or whether he is educated or not. As long as he is capable and qualified for the official position he is recommended, I can use him.

Officials currently serving are assessed once every four years.

The officials who are recommended are first promised as fake officials, and they are tested once a year.

With a three-year period, the first year depends on their personal ability, the second year depends on their understanding of power, and the third year depends on their achievements. "

"What about middle-level officials and upper-level officials?"

This sentence was asked by Lu Duan.

Yang Qi hesitated for a moment, then said: "Middle-level and upper-level officials, I still hope to be pragmatic. In addition, I also hope that you can check and confirm their attitude towards Confucianism."

As it was about Confucianism, Yang Qi and the others looked more solemn.

Everyone here, including Yang Qi, can be regarded as disciples of Confucianism.

Now that Yang Qi opened his mouth to examine the attitude of the officials towards Confucianism, the expressions of the others were obviously unnatural.

Yang Qi said cautiously: "I have no intention of rejecting Confucianism with one word. However, I will never let the imperial court become a one-word hall of Confucianism. Confucianism can be used, but it cannot be completely relied on.

Let alone become a tool for some people to form cliques for personal gain through the old students.

I was persecuted for more than half a year.

In the past six months, I have seen many things clearly.

Some people disregarded the laws of the country and the court because of their old students, regardless of right or wrong, and ganged up on opposing the court.

Therefore, I must suppress Confucianism, support other schools of thought, and strive to promote the contention of a hundred schools of thought and let a hundred flowers bloom.

Therefore, I hope that after you go down, you will find out their attitudes towards Confucianism when evaluating officials.

Those who are too close to Confucianism will be suppressed if they can.

Those who stick to themselves and do things for the people sincerely will be promoted. "

Yang Qi glanced around, and said firmly: "This is the important reason why I gathered you all from afar. It is impossible for me to take care of everything in such a huge country, so many things need your help, and I need your help. I will do it.

I have decided to divide the territory of Yan Kingdom into seven regions. Each of the seven of you is responsible for one region.

Try to complete the errands I entrusted to you before the sea tide recedes.

I hope that by the time those caring people come to their senses, we will have made concerted efforts to turn Great Yan Kingdom into an iron barrel.

No matter how hard those who are willing to toss, they can't afford to overturn any big waves.

Do you have anything to add? "

Su Yijian and the seven looked at each other.

After a long while, Su Yijian hesitated and said: "Your Majesty trusts us and entrusts us with such an important task. We are inexplicably grateful. It's just that the country of Yan is vast and has many officials. Seven of us will evaluate all the officials. In case there is any omission..."

When the other six heard this, they all pricked up their ears.

People can not escape from doing wrong.

They are not gods, so naturally there are times when they make mistakes, and sometimes they even have to play favoritism out of helplessness.

After all, with such a great power in his hands, Iron Man will also be corrupted by sugar-coated bullets. What if he makes a mistake?
Yang Qi glanced at them, and said with a half-smile: "You don't have to worry, I can be sure that you will not make mistakes."

The seven of Su Yijian were taken aback for a moment, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

Yang Qi raised his hand to stroke his palm.

"Clap~"

Amid Yang Qi's applause, Peng Pai walked in from the imperial study with a smile.

Behind him, followed by several scarecrows who looked like wooden figures.

"See you, my lords."

Peng Pai was all smiles, like a weasel who stole a chicken.

Behind him, seven scarecrows who looked like wooden figures followed him and bowed slowly to salute.

"This is……"

The seven of Su Yijian looked puzzled.

Yang Qi smiled and said: "This is the entourage I prepared for you. They will accompany you to complete the assessment and promotion of all officials. If there is anything that is inconvenient for you to check, they will help you find out; some things you can't find , they will also help you to find out.

The most important thing is that they will help you control your hands and feet, so that you will not be deceived by others and do something you regret. "

The seven of Su Yijian were taken aback for a moment, bowing their heads secretly, a little dumbfounded.

It's clear that they sent someone to monitor them.

However, they did not show dissatisfaction with this arrangement.

All of them are veterans of the officialdom and know the rules of the officialdom very well.

Yang Qi gave them such great authority, it is normal to send people to monitor them.

If one day Yang Qi gave them great authority, but did not send people to monitor them, then they would be really worried.

What's more, Yang Qi did it with great style.

Unlike other emperors, he sent people to monitor officials and was sneaky.

He directly placed the surveillance personnel in front of them openly, letting them know that they would be watched and kept awake at any time.

Yang Qi waved his hands to the seven specially trained scarecrows, and said with a smile, "Let you see their abilities."

The seven scarecrows followed Yang Qi and waved their hands, and walked to the table expressionlessly.

They casually picked up an official document on the table and read it carefully.

Then put down expressionlessly.

The scarecrow next to Su Yijian was the first to speak, "Su Yijian was born five years later in Zhou Xiande, born in Tongshan, Zizhou, and was the number one scholar in the fifth year of Song Taiping Xingguo..."

The scarecrow counted Su Yijian's past in detail.

The seven of Su Yijian were not surprised when they listened.

With Su Yijian's current status and his past, most people in Yan Kingdom who have connections with the imperial court can tell a thing or two.

However, as the scarecrow talked more and more.

The faces of Su Yijian and the others slowly revealed expressions of astonishment.

Because from his mouth, he kept telling some old things about Su Yijian that many people didn't know.

For example, when Su Yijian was working in the Song Dynasty, when she was traveling, she happened to meet an abandoned girl.

He took pity on his young age, secretly adopted him, and handed him over to Su's mother to raise him.

It was always said to the outside world that it was the orphan of a distant cousin of the Su family.

But in fact, that girl has no blood relationship with the Su family at all.

Only a few members of the Su family knew about this matter, and no one in the world knew the truth.

However, the scarecrow said it easily.

With some astonishment, Su Yijian quickly opened the official document in front of him. After reading it carefully, he found a description of this paragraph in it.

"Really?"

Kou Zhun opened his mouth slightly, and asked a question in astonishment.

Su Yijian nodded heavily, and said in a low voice, "Have a photographic memory?"

The seven Su Yijian looked at the seven scarecrows subconsciously.

Then, they saw the seven scarecrows recite the materials they had read word by word.

People with a photographic memory are not uncommon.

Among the seven people present, Su Yijian and Kou Zhun are geniuses in this field.

It is precisely because of the talent of photographic memory that they are able to become extremely courtiers at the age of less than middle age.

However, Yang Qi was able to find seven people who had never forgotten in one breath, and trained them into wooden men who resembled loyal dead soldiers, which surprised Su Yijian and the others.

"I do not believe!"

Kou Zhun was the first to express his disbelief. He casually took out a copy from the official document in front of him, handed it to the scarecrow beside him, and said in a deep voice, "If you can memorize this official document within a stick of incense, I will believe you." .”

When other people heard the words, they also picked out the official document test.

Yang Qi didn't say a word, just watched them test with a smile.

After some tests.

The seven people of Su Yijian finally confirmed that the seven people in front of them were indeed people with a photographic memory.

"Bang bang bang~"

Kou Zhun saw this, instead of being excited, he patted the table angrily, growled and said to Yang Qi, "You are killing talented people!"

The other six nodded in agreement.

In their view, the seven outstanding talents who have never forgotten their pictures can become unique talents with a little training.

Now he was trained by Yang Qi to become a wooden man like a machine.

Isn't this killing Liangcai?
Yang Qi glanced at the resentful Kou Zhun, and said indifferently: "With a photographic memory, some people are born, while others can be cultivated. The seven people in front of you are cultivated.

They don't really count as photographic memory either.

This ability will only be shown in the personal past.

If it were changed to other things, they would most likely lose their ability to remember.

Therefore, I did not kill good talents, but cultivated seven good talents. "

The seven of Su Yijian were stunned.

Chen Yao exclaimed in surprise: "This can also be cultivated?"

Yang Qi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Haven't I already cultivated a talent that is not inferior to any famous official in history?"

Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "How can I be regarded as a capable person?"

"Clap clap~"

Yang Qi clapped his hands and said earnestly: "Their questions will be discussed later. Let's get down to business. The ones in front of your eyes are the officials you are about to assess. Luo Ye and Zhao Di discovered the goodness when they were patrolling the world on behalf of me. talent.

After you get these official documents, familiarize yourself with them as soon as possible.

Then start the assessment according to the areas I have divided for you.

For officials below the fifth rank, you don't need to ask me, you can dismiss or promote directly.

Officials above the fifth rank, you write a memorial and send it to me through the channel of the Supervision Department, and I will reply in time. "

Su Yijian and the others stretched out their hands and hugged stacks of official documents assigned to them by Yang Qi.

Yang Qi continued from the side: "This time the sea tide is an opportunity I have worked hard to win. If I miss it, the officials will definitely be alert, and it will be difficult for us to make a move at that time.

Therefore, I hope that the seven of you can complete this errand as quickly as possible.

You seven are all talented prime ministers, and I believe in your abilities. "

Zhao Pu, Lu Duan and the others nodded unobtrusively.

Kou Zhun and Su Yijian were a little dazed.

"Your Majesty, why did you transfer me back to Yanjing City?"

Kou Zhun spent the past two years handling government affairs in Jinling Mansion and Yongzhou, but the place Yang Qi allocated to him was Yanjing City.

However, Su Yijian, who had been in charge of government in Yanjing City for the past two years, was transferred to Jinling Mansion and Yongzhou Generation.

however.

It was fine if Kou Zhun didn't ask, but Yang Qi lost his temper when he asked.

I saw Yang Qiyin glaring at Kou Zhun suspiciously, and said in a deep voice: "Why did you transfer you back to Yanjing City, don't you know why?"

"what?!"

"Eight sister is nineteen..."

Kou Zhun blinked, still a little dazed.

Su Yijian next to him laughed like a pig.

"Hahaha……"

Wait until everyone's laughter joins together.

Kou Zhun reacted.

He drooped his head with a bitter face.

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, and said with a cold smile: "Why, do you want to regret the marriage? Could it be that you have been hiding in the Jinling Mansion's quiet golden house all these years, and you are a little too happy to play?"

I don't want to!
Very unwilling!

Kou Zhun shouted crazily in his heart, but his head shook wildly, "How come, I'm not that kind of person. It's my blessing to be able to marry the eldest princess, how could I not want to."

In fact, Kou Zhun really wanted to regret the marriage.

There is no other reason.

Ever since Yang Yanqi was conferred the title of eldest princess, she has become more and more violent.

She and Yang Paifeng seem to have become the biggest overlords in Yanjing City.

Kou Zhun was afraid that if he married Yang Yanqi home, he would be played to death by this tigress.
