Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 416
After encouraging Sun Kuan and others, Zhu Youjian did not go to other workshops to check.

He specifically instructed Zhang Jimeng and others to effectively control the quality of various military supplies, and after arousing the enthusiasm of the craftsmen with a heavy reward mechanism, he took Wang Chengen back to the palace.

Originally, he planned to see the manufacturing process of the self-generated firecracker and the Frang cannon, but the performance of Sun Kuan and others just now made him dispel this idea.

With his current age and current status, every move will become the focus, and it will also affect the normal production of the craftsmen. Everything should be done according to the rules, and there are still many important things waiting for him to worry about.

Sure enough, not long after returning to Qianqing Palace, the eunuchs outside came to report: Chief Assistant Wen Tiren, Official Minister Zhou Yun, and the new Shuntian Prefecture Yin Ni Yuanlu jointly requested an audience.

Zhu Youjian came to Zhaoren Hall after changing his regular clothes in the side hall. Wen Tiren and others got up quickly, watched Zhu Youjian take his seat, the three bowed and bowed their hands to salute, and then turned around and sat down in their seats.

"Why did the Qing family enter the palace? I was just about to summon all the ministers to come forward and announce it, so it's just right. Companion, send someone out of the palace to deliver the decree. All scholars in the capital and chief officials of various temples will come to the palace to discuss matters!"

Wang Chengen agreed and left the palace gate, several young eunuchs served hot tea to Wen Tiren and others and then left the palace.

"Qizou Shengshang, after taking office today, the officials from the Ministry of Officials came to the cabinet for consultation, which is related to the selection of officials in the Bingchen Division, so I will enter the palace with him to report the matter!"

The first assistant, Wen Tiren, got up and saluted, and then played.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a year since Chongzhen's ten-year tribute list, and the Jinshi who have been on the list have already completed their period of observing politics in various ministries of the capital, and now it is time to release their officials.

"Selecting officials and appointing officials has always been the most important thing in all dynasties, especially the chief officials of the prefectures and counties. It is their daily life as an official to face the people directly. Their words and deeds represent the imperial court and the family of heaven, so they must be severely punished. That! The cabinet, the official department, must tell the officials selected this time that they must benefit one side when they serve as officials. On behalf of the heaven and herdsmen, they do not mean to regard the people of the world as pigs and sheep, but to control and take good care of hundreds of millions of people for the emperor. If someone takes office and slackens his official duties all day long in the forest, or he is a disabled person, no matter what his qualifications, background, or how many poems and books he has read, he will disappear in the blink of an eye! This is my warning, so don’t blame it when the time comes I didn't say anything!"

Zhu Youjian restrained his smile, glanced solemnly at the three present, and expressed his attitude in an extremely serious tone.

Since the implementation of the New Deal, the old atmosphere of laziness and indolence in the yamen of the Beijing Normal University has undergone a great change, and the efficiency of handling official affairs has been significantly improved.

However, after all, Daming is too big. In the absence of an effective supervision mechanism, the lazy style of local prefectures and counties formed over thousands of years is still common. This situation has been greatly improved.

It's just that there is an extreme shortage of manpower for the post of supervisory censor. At present, the local chief officials and officials who are about to take up the post can only be required to lead by example and drive the atmosphere of the yamen to a better development.

"Veteran respectfully abides by the sage's precepts, and chooses a day to tell everyone the sage's teachings, so that they will not destroy their own future, but strive to be a generation that will leave a clear name for future generations!"

"The minister will require all officials in the ministry to strictly assess the performance of local officials. Once they find a harmful sheep, they will be severely punished according to the law after they are played immediately!"

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yun stood up to receive the order, and expressed their attitude of unconditionally obeying the emperor's will.

Scholars must be summoned before taking office, and listen to the instructions of the Chief Assistant and Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which is why Wen Tiren and Zhou Yun made such statements.

Zhu Youjian's above remarks will be processed at that time, and then instilled in the ears of the future pillars of Ming Dynasty. It is hard to say whether he is distracted.

But cruel words must be said, which involves the attitude of speaking to the emperor, which is also what important ministers must express.

"You two gentlemen, don't be perfunctory with empty words. Since the change of dynasties in ancient times, the corruption of officials has been the source of disasters, so the selection and appointment of officials must be cautious! The top priority. An official must be benevolent. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he is, if he has no compassion for the people under him, then he will act without scruples and will only take it as his duty to ask for credit and rewards. Those who are capable are actually selfish and public, and this generation is absolutely unacceptable! Therefore, the virtuous should be the first in the selection of officials, remember to remember!"

Zhu Youjian's remarks are also based on the current actual situation.

There are four rules for being an official, Deloitte is clean and capable.

For the people who are just beginning to settle down now, recuperation is the most important thing.

In this period, capable officials are not needed, but local officials with high moral character and who can take the sufferings of the people at heart. When the situation is completely stable and the local economy needs to be developed, it is the time for officials to show their personal abilities.

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yunzi once again expressed their attitude of strict requirements.

"It has been more than half a year since the drowning of Duke Yansheng last year. The magistrate of Qufu County was convicted and resigned for more than half a year. How can the parents and officials of the Holy Land of Wenzong be suspended for a long time? This time, it is good to appoint a person with both integrity and ability to take this heavy responsibility. I heard Bingchen The name of the Jinshi in the department is Zhuang Yuanzhou. He is well-known in the village for his outstanding virtues. He also has the rank of Jinshi last year. That's good!"

The direction of the emperor's remarks was very clear, and Zhou Yun nodded understandingly.

While speaking, the cabinet Wang Yingxiong and Zhang Zhifa rushed to Zhaoren Hall first, and after saluting, they sat down on Wen Tiren's starting position.

"Since Ni Qing took office in the Shuntian Mansion, did you feel something about her appointment? You are also a minister of the imperial court, with a well-known reputation. I hope that after getting to know your job well, you will come up with corresponding strategies and make some real achievements in your appointment. , so that Shuntian Mansion can become a model of state capitals in the world, how can you teach me?"

After arranging the selection of officials, Zhu Youjian turned to Ni Yuanlu and said with a smile.

Zhu Youjian was full of affection for this celebrity who committed suicide and martyrdom after Li Zicheng conquered the city of Beijing in history. In the important position of Governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

The reason why he has never reused this famous official who is now in his prime is really because he has scruples about Wen Tiren's mood.

Ni Yuanlu has outstanding talent, integrity and outspokenness. She once openly wrote to the Eunuch Party and Donglin Party in their heyday to denounce the ills of her governance, so she has always been excluded.

After Wen Tiren became the chief assistant, he kept suppressing him because he was jealous of his talent. The discord between the two was known to both the government and the public.

Now that Wen Tiren's position as chief assistant has been unshakable for several years, it should be irrelevant to Lao Wen to promote Ni Yuanlu now.

"Introduction to the Holy Majesty, I am very grateful for the kindness of the Holy Majesty Jian Ba, and I will do my best to comfort the Sacred Heart. I have been in Shuntian Mansion for more than half a month, and I am currently completing the related projects when Chen Xueshi was in office, and cooperating with Si Nong Temple Trial planting of good farmland. This time, I came here for the reorganization of the prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi. If the minister’s humble opinion can be approved by the sage, the fire prevention and theft prevention in the Gyeonggi area will be greatly improved compared to the present. Change!"

Ni Yuanlu, who had a thin body and a short beard under her jaw, got up and saluted, and then expressed her plan.

　Thanks to the book friends, no one has used this account for a reward.
