Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 46
Shangji is one of the ancient performance appraisal systems. It began in the Warring States Period and developed day by day during the Qin and Han Dynasties. In particular, the two Han dynasties inherited the Shangji examination system from the previous dynasties and had the most complete system.

The assessment content includes: household registration and finance, prison management and theft punishment, clan registration, border garrison status, geographical administration, encouraging teachers to teach farmers and mulberry trees, etc., which basically covers all aspects of governance.

In terms of procedures, it consists of the planning of counties and counties, the supervision of postal inspections, the planning of the prime minister, the accounting of the censor, and the emperor's accounting. It is divided into two categories: winter class and autumn class.

Every autumn, the county will conduct a summary of the above calculations, which is the autumn class.

At the end of the year, the central government assesses each county's accounting performance, assesses the rankings in the meeting at the beginning of the year, and gives promotions, demotions, rewards and punishments. Many officials who are ranked in accounting will be retained as Lang Guan, which is another way to become an official.

The person who was targeted this year was Wang Yun, the Situ and Minister of the current dynasty.

Wang Situ sat alone at the top, glanced around, frowned, and was a little dissatisfied - there were too few people.

11 years ago, when Situ Yuan Feng was under the clock, he bowed down to hundreds of Wuyang Wuyang's top counters. When it was his turn to be the Prince's master, there were only a few dozen people, nearly half missing!
("In the first year of Guanghe, ([-]) the governor of the county came to the capital. At that time, Situ Yuan Feng accepted the plan. Hundreds of planners bowed down in the court. No one dared to look up. One of them just bowed." - "Later Han Dynasty" Book·Wenyuan Biography·Zhao Yi Zhuan")
Wang Situ became angry when he thought about the group of rebellious officials and traitors in the east, and even the planners dared not send them to Luoyang. The more cunning prefects excused themselves and said that there were gangs of thieves on the road, while the more upright ones simply ignored it.

Where did these bastards put the emperor and the Han system?
The Dong thieves are certainly hateful, but the coalition forces are also all murderable people!

Fortunately, they are not all rebels. Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, is a very loyal minister. In addition to the prescribed account books, he even pays tribute with extra special products, which is really rare!

Wang Yun glanced at the oranges on the table and made up his mind to reward Lu Jining.

"Gongda, Yuan Chang," he called to the two Huangmen ministers standing by, "The Lujiang Prefect is commendable for his loyalty. Please report this matter to the emperor, so as not to chill the hearts of the loyal ministers in the world."

Huangmen Shilang is similar to Shizhong. They are both noble and powerful servants of the emperor. They also have a position of six people, but their rank is lower than that of Shizhong.

If the Shizhong is the emperor's senior adviser, then the Huangmen Shilang spends most of his time running errands and delivering messages between the Shangshutai and the emperor.

For such a national important event as the above, the two Huangmen ministers Xun You and Zhong Yao would of course have to be on standby.

After hearing this, the older Zhong Yao agreed: "When the country is in crisis, it is indeed necessary to buy horse bones for a thousand gold."

Xun You, who was dull and taciturn, just nodded aside and glanced at everyone in the court.

Different from Wang Situ's waning interest, Xun You felt that there were a few of the officials in the court who were really interested in him.

For example, the accounting official sent by Bajun was named Gan Ning.

This man had a sinister appearance and was out of place among the frightened local officials. He actually dared to look proud in front of Situ Wang Yun, who also served as Shangshu Ling, and his salute was rather perfunctory.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was bold in his behavior. If Wang Situ had not cared about this, Lang Guan, who Gan Ning would soon get, might have been taken away, but looking at him, he didn't seem to care about this.

There is also Guo Tu from Yingchuan County. As a fellow villager, Xun You knows very well how fierce the competition in Yingchuan County is.Every year in the local area, the positions of Xiaolian and Shangji officials are decided after a fierce battle. People who are not from good family backgrounds and knowledgeable people cannot convince the crowd. This Guo Tu is definitely not a simple person.

But Xun You observed Guo Tu for a long time and found that for some reason, the fellow countryman looked a little absent-minded.
In addition to Gan Ning and Guo Tu, there were also Jiang Ji of Chu State, Peng Qiu of Beihai State, and Gao Dai of Wu County, all of whom were temporary choices. This was because the prefects of many counties had evil intentions and did not send anyone.

The heroes of the world are like the crucian carp crossing the river.

Xu Jiashu stepped into the chancellery.

This place originally belonged to the Shaofu, and together with Shang Guan, Shang Yi, Shang Shi, Shang Yu, and Shang Xi, they were collectively called the Six Shang. Because they were in charge of sending and receiving (or enlightening) documents and keeping books in the palace, they were called Shang Shu. At first, they were just Shang Shu. The Emperor's personal secretary.

Power is a magnetic field. The closer the distance, the greater the power shared.

In the process of the expansion of imperial power, the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister disappeared, the outer court was also ignored, and the secretariat located in the palace gradually became the real political core.

At this time, the Shangshu Terrace was known as the "Middle Terrace", and the affairs of the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty were run through here. Although the ministers were not as high as six hundred stones, they were the real handlers of national affairs, and the ministers were also all the ministers. The way out for the first class.

If you have to make an analogy, each of the 36 ministers working in Shangshu Liucao holds power comparable to the ministers of later generations. If you can come here, for an ordinary minister, it is no less than a step to the sky.During the simulation, Xu Jiashu's calligraphy did not satisfy Cai Yong at first, so he had no chance to visit here. After working hard to complete the stone scripture, he just became a secretary and taught the little emperor how to write.

"Are you also a planner?"

A minister came up and asked, thinking that Xu Jiashu was late.

"No," Xu Jiashu shook his head and waved the manuscript on his hand, "I came to Wang Situ on the order of Cai Shizhong and asked him to check it out."

Hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately you are not, otherwise you will definitely suffer." He walked over to the case and picked up an orange. "Wang Situ is being tricked in the court. Just wait."

After that, he threw one to Xu Jiashu, "My name is Huan Jie, my cousin is Boxu, and I am from Changsha."

桓阶
I have a bit of an impression of this guy Xu Jiashu. I used him a lot when playing "Three Kingdoms". [Intelligence], [Charm], and [Politics] are all above the standard. He usually also has a few useful special skills. He is considered a big player among small forces. Wow, I didn’t expect this person’s career to start from such a high level!

"My name is Xu Jiashu, just call me Zimao, from Luoyang.", he replied.

The two of them exchanged names and became acquainted.

"I really envy Zi Mao, working under such an interesting person as Cai Shizhong." Huan Jie chewed an orange and didn't care that the juice splashed on his robe. "I can't stay in this office for another day."

Although these words may sound like Versailles, to Huan Jie, they really speak from the bottom of his heart.

He only entered the official career after being recommended by Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha in the same county, as a filial piety and incorruptible person. He didn't become a minister for a long time. His feeling about this place is just one word - tired!

As a super powerful figure, Shangshu Ling usually only gives instructions on major matters. Daily routine work is handled by 36 Six Cao Shangshu led by Shangshu Zuocheng and Shangshu Youcheng.

How big is their workload?

The Sangong Cao is in charge of the performance evaluation of state and county officials at the end of the year; the Libu Cao is in charge of the selection of officials and sacrifices; the Min Cao is in charge of all related construction and the management of Yanchi Gardens; the Ke Cao is in charge of escorting the pilgrimage affairs of the border ethnic minorities; two thousand Shi Cao is in charge of judicial and litigation matters; Zhongdu Guan Cao is in charge of water, fire, thieves and other security work.

There are only six people in each Cao, but they have to manage the government affairs of the entire Han Dynasty. Even if there are three Lingshi to help copy documents, they are basically busy every day.

Especially since the Zhengdan holiday had just ended, Huan Jie didn't want to move even more. He quickly looked for opportunities to fish when someone came in.

To put it simply, holiday syndrome occurs.

Xu Jiashu said that I am familiar with this. As a hard-working government worker before time travel, I always feel this way after the new year. Although the two people's experiences are 2000 years apart, their feelings are surprisingly the same!
Huan Jie was greatly moved - he had met a close friend!

Just when he was about to have a good chat with Xu Zimao, a powerful voice sounded - "Huan Boxu!"

"Here it is!" Huan Jie responded, quickly pushed the orange peel on the table in front of Xu Jiashu, and sat upright, with an expression as if it was none of my business.

"Hua Ziyu is coming, please help me deal with it."

Huan Jie whispered.

Facing his sincere gaze, Xu Jiashu nodded without knowing why.

"it is good."
