Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 402 Welcome Banquet

Different from the scenes in the imperial city where people were talking about their dreams and were moved to tears like springs, in Wangjiang Tower, it was a scene of cheers and celebrations.

More than 4000 students, under the leadership of officials from various ministries, sat in different areas. As candidates in the same department, they also have a relatively close relationship. Have a drink.

Although the cups here are small, the wine is very strong. After a few cups, everyone's faces are flushed. The officials who lead the team all have tasks. Explained some things to pay attention to.

For example, where are they going to report, when do they go to the office, what do they generally do, who are the main leaders, and so on.

Although the interns did not directly obtain official status because of being selected, they can already change the household registration of first-class citizens. In fact, what they do are things that officials only do.

Given the urgent need for talents in the Tang Dynasty, these candidates don't even have time to go back to their hometowns to report the good news. They will go to the Yamen to report tomorrow, and those who are assigned to Chang'an will start working in the Yamen immediately after reporting, and will be assigned to the Yamen. The local ones have to gather and set off together. In addition to the statutory rest day of Tang Dynasty every year, they are only given an extra month of family-visiting holiday.

The candidates had no objection to the court's arrangement. You must know that most of them were workers and merchants' children who could not be officials in the past. Now, who would not cherish such an opportunity to be an official.

Of course, in fact, most of them will be left in Guanzhong, because before the Spring Festival this year, the yamen in Guanzhong will be completely reformed and perfected according to the new system. The new county yamen, in addition to the Mingfa Division, will be in charge of hearing cases. There are also a government-run imperial hospital and a medical officer, a household officer belonging to the Ministry of Households, a financial officer belonging to the Ministry of Finance, a chief agricultural officer belonging to the Ministry of Agriculture, and a financial officer belonging to the Ministry of Commerce. One is a commercial officer, one is an engineering officer belonging to the Ministry of Industry, and one is a criminal officer belonging to the Ministry of Punishment.

These eight officials have different grades depending on the upper, middle and lower counties. They are all under the supervision and management of the county magistrate, and they are also responsible to their own superior officials. Most of them are temporarily represented by interns. If they become regulars in the future, they will be Corresponding directly according to the grade of the agent, the lower county corresponds to the upper grade of Zhengjiu, the middle county corresponds to the upper grade of eighth, and the upper county corresponds to the upper grade of Zhengba.

Of course, not all county yamen are staffed with so many interns. Many of the county magistrates who originally assisted the county magistrate in managing the county yamen, the county lieutenant, and their respective meritorious service officers, were directly transferred to the chief officials of some departments. .

For example, the original county lieutenant was directly converted into the local criminal officer with the greatest actual power besides the county magistrate.

For example, the meritorious Cao of Sihu has jumped from an official to an official. There may not be much difference in the lower county, but in the upper county, he is an official of the eighth rank.

Don't think that this level is low. In the future, when the county magistrate is vacant, they can directly fill the county magistrate's position. Moreover, their promotion channel is not only the county magistrate's position, but also the higher-level yamen in the same system. If there is a shortage of staff, they will also be promoted from among them. If Datang opens up any new territory, it will still have to transfer personnel from among them to become officials. level improvement.

In addition, after the economic aggregate and population reach a certain scale, the administrative level is upgraded, and everyone will be promoted accordingly. If the county magistrate of the lower county can raise the population and tax payment of this county to the standard of the middle county, then, The grade salaries of all officials are calculated according to Zhongxian County.

If you are promoted to Shangxian, it will be counted according to the count of Shangxian, and there is no upper limit. If you can develop it into a city at the level of Chang'an and Weinan, then congratulations. can do it for you.

This is a means of stimulating officials to develop local areas. Li Shimin adopted it after listening to Sun Xiangfu's suggestion. important criteria.

Those who have improved in all aspects are considered to have good political performance. After getting a good evaluation, it is easy to be promoted. Those who have regressed are embarrassed to be demoted directly. Even those who do not regress and improve within a certain period of time will also be demoted.

Although the salary of local chief officials is much higher than that of officials of the same level, they are also under great pressure. They can no longer just muddle along as they used to. The primary goal must be to develop the local area, otherwise, there will be no official positions.

Of course, this series of measures is just a trial in Guanzhong first. Don’t look at the large number of 5000 people. After being cut off by various churches, the remaining people will make up the staff in Guanzhong and send them to other places. In fact, there are only 1000 people in each county. Individuals are at least several times short of manpower before the comprehensive reform is implemented, because there are more than [-] counties in Datang except Guanzhong. counties.

Therefore, in most other places, the Ministry of Agriculture still allows the local officials to be selected to be in charge of agricultural affairs. Many departments are also following the example of the Ministry of Agriculture. The transfer to officials breaks the previous situation that officials are officials and officials are officials, and gives those officials who have no one to recommend and promote and find it difficult to be officials a chance to be promoted.

If the reform of a system benefits the majority of people, then it can be implemented. The reform of the official system of the imperial court is like the previous reform of the civil system. benefits are difficult to achieve.

Then, it would be easier to elevate members of the lower class to a higher class.

The officials of the aristocratic families are still in their original positions. On the surface, they are still in charge of the local area. The court just added an additional monitoring system to prevent him from doing whatever he wants.

Promote a large number of people who were not able to make a difference in the society before, to attack and disperse the power of these local officials, and give these low-level officials a protection system that can be supported independently of the local area, so that they will not be too good at these things. If you dare to do something wrong, I will report you, because if I support your lawlessness and cause any losses, the superiors of my system will also come to investigate me.

This will force the local yamen to form an atmosphere for discussing politics, because the county magistrate can no longer mobilize all resources as he pleases, and needs the consent of officials from other ministries, as well as the approval of online officials from each ministry. Only when everyone thinks it is good will they do it, and , but also take the initiative to find some things that can make political achievements, because the Ministry of officials evaluates political achievements, promotion and dismissal, not just for fun.

Sun Xiangfu, who returned home from the palace, was very worried about what kind of expression Empress Changsun would have if Wangjianglou didn't send money to the harem this month. With Wangjianglou's fees, the feast of four to five thousand people was open to eating and drinking, at least The expenditure of tens of thousands of coins is enough to eat up all the members of the East Palace for a month.

However, when he was teasing with the baby in his arms, he never thought of business.

"Husband, everyone Hongxiu and Li have taken their subordinates to Weinan, will you set off with His Majesty's convoy tomorrow?"

"Well, by the way, those gloves, cotton socks, etc. that His Majesty wants to reward the workers, are Xingfu Village ready?"

"Get ready, there are hundreds of cars, and it is said that there are over a million pairs."

"Hey, it's okay if you don't mention this number. If I mention it, I feel distressed. It's not a big deal that our family always pays for the emperor to gain fame."

"This kind of public voice can only be earned by Your Majesty. Your husband's reputation is enough. If you want to go further, other than writing books and talking about it, other methods are not advisable."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was dumbfounded. At certain times, he still did not understand this society like the ancients. Seeing Xiao Huanhuan in his arms yawned, Sun Xiangfu began to shake her in his arms again, humming a unique hypnotic song.

"Master, Li Shilang learned that you have returned to the mansion, and he came to the mansion to pay a visit to the manor with his son who is going to the Northland for an internship."

Speaking of this, it was actually requested by Sun Xiangfu himself. The Anbei Dadu Protectorate is the largest administrative yamen independent of the Tang Dynasty, and more than 30% of the people under its rule are Hu people. The situation is very special. Officials The gap is also very huge. Sun Xiangfu needs 100 people for Mingshu alone, and more than [-] people for engineering and business. In addition to the other subjects, the total number of people exceeds [-] people for this imperial examination. more than the number of people.

Since there was no one working in Chang'an in the Anbei Grand Protectorate except himself, Sun Xiangfu entrusted Li Gongyan to take them to the welcome banquet. Later, he made some work arrangements by himself.

"Please sit down in the living room, all of them! I'll come down later."

"promise."

Soon, Sun Xiangfu put on his official robe again, and then went down to the large living room on the first floor. Naturally, many students recognized Sun Xiangfu. When he greeted Li Gongyan, the students spontaneously formed a team Formed together, they bowed their hands together and said, "Students pay their respects to Master Sun."

"Hehe, please excuse me, everyone! I hope that in two or three years, you will all be able to call yourself an official in front of me."

Sun Xiangfu waved his hand with a smile, and walked towards the center of the living room. In order to let everyone hear what he said as much as possible, he had to form a circle with everyone.

"You are all candidates in the current imperial examination, and your household registration is in the north. Do you know why I sent you all to Anbei Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for internship?"

"Students know that Anbei Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is located in the northernmost part of the Tang Dynasty, and it is relatively cold. Children from the south cannot bear the weather there at all." said a young man who was close to Sun Xiangfu.

Seeing the excitement on his face, it is obvious that he is looking forward to going to Anbei Daduhufu for an internship.

Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "You're right, Chang'an's winter is already very cold, but Shanyang's winter is colder than Chang'an, and Shanyang is only the warmest city in the territory of Anbei Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Over there, once it is winter, it is usually more than ten degrees below zero.

Oh, you may not understand the concept of minus ten degrees. You just need to know that at zero degrees, water may freeze, and it may snow in the sky, and minus ten degrees is much colder than snow freezing lots of weather.

So, are you ready to endure hardships in the severe cold? "

"We are ready..." All the candidates replied one after another.

They were so easy to be encouraged when they just got the chance to be officials. To cheer them up and make them make up their minds was the purpose of Sun Xiangfu's summoning them.

　Thanks to FreeStanding, Red Lips Yuwen, Wukong in the previous life, for the reward, thank you!
