Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 612
The dried fish roe didn't have chili as a seasoning, so it always felt a bit lacking in taste, or maybe Changsun Wuji asked a very unappetizing question, which caused Sun Xiangfu to lose his appetite.

In fact, these things cannot be blamed on Sun Xiangfu, it is the elder Sun Wuji who came to Sun Xiangfu again and again to ask advice, and the princes of the court, whether they have something to do or not, they all like to ask Sun Xiangfu about things that they are not sure about. The postmen in Jiuyuan County seem to be dedicated to the Sun family, and even Sun Xiangfu spends almost an hour every day replying to letters.

"To tell you the truth, when I went fishing in the pond earlier, I was still thinking that I might not be willing to trade it for a god to do it for the life I live now. Besides, it's not that I like to take care of the affairs of the court, nor It’s not that I’m greedy for power and position, it’s that you all come to me, tell me, it’s better for me to thank you behind closed doors and ignore anyone, or do I do my best to help you solve your problems?”

Changsun Wuji also had a gloomy expression when he heard the words, he couldn't figure out why this happened, could it be that the wisdom of so many wise men in the court is not as wise as Sun Zhengming alone?
It shouldn't be, it's because these wise men lack reflection and a forward thinking. From the current point of view, as long as Sun Xiangfu has done something, there are many people in the court who are capable of copying it, and even making it better. Well, for example, the Dingxiang City built by Chang Sun Chong is no worse than the Shanyang City built by Sun Xiangfu. The newly built counties in Shangqi, Wulan, Tai'an and other northern regions are all improved on the basis of Shanyang City , from infrastructure construction to business convenience, there is no one worse than Shanyang.

It can be seen that it is not that there are no talented people in this era, but that these talented people lack the courage and courage to boldly innovate and open up a better situation.

Crossing the river by feeling the stones is always a courageous person who walks in the forefront. Datang's top management lacks the courage to walk in the forefront.

Of course, this is not their fault. The limitations of the times have caused them to think differently from those of later generations.

"If you didn't have such a temper, where would you be able to enjoy the good life now! Well, let's not talk about it for now, lest you lose your appetite, I have a memorial letter from Li Wenyong, last year's liberal arts champion, and I want to show you. "Changsun Wuji took out a folder from his cuff and handed it to Sun Xiangfu.

Sun Xiangfu knew that even the number one scholar would not be directly awarded a formal official position before passing the internship stage, and without a formal official position, he would not have the right to go up.Then, the memorial presented by Changsun Wuji should have been entrusted by Li Wenyong, the No. [-] scholar who was intern, to perform it. Li Wenyong himself should have been assigned to practice in Jiangling.

The innovation ability of the ancients has always been very low. This year's exam papers almost completely follow the routine of those exam papers issued by Sun Xiangfu in the previous exam. Most of the candidates who won the top three rankings are people with some novel and desirable ideas.

This Li Wenyong can stand out because his article pointed directly at the shortcomings of the current management system of the imperial court, which almost overturned the previous system of evaluation and promotion of officials. Two months later, some additions and revisions to those claims made on the previous exam papers.

Sun Xiangfu wanted to take a quick glance at it, because the pros and cons of the imperial court's current system are not clearly understood by an intern at the bottom, but after opening it, he was attracted by the content inside, but Let a small pot of slightly charred and fragrant fish roe fall into Changsun Wuji's stomach alone.

"Unexpectedly, really unexpected, this Li Wenyong can actually design a new assessment mechanism out of thin air. Although there are some clauses in it that are a bit taken for granted, the flaws are not hidden. The imperial court copied his set of policies, which is of great help to the entire administration of officials. If it can be implemented at the local level, it will greatly promote the local construction. This person can win the first prize, but he has some real talents, but..."

"Zhengming wants to say that even if this memorial is handed over to the Zhengshitang, the imperial court will not approve it!"

Sun Xiangfu nodded, but did not speak.

Li Wenyong proposed in the memorial that the new assessment mechanism for all officials should not only look at how many industries the official has opened up for the local people, how much these industries have increased the per capita income of the local people, but also the amount of infrastructure construction. , the number of population growth, the number of acres of land growth, the number of rich households, upper households, middle households, and poor households year-on-year and month-on-month, etc., in all aspects, conduct a comprehensive evaluation and assessment of a government official, and also give each A government official sets governance expectations.

For example, if there are [-] poor households in a county, it must be reduced by [-]% each year to be considered qualified, to be considered excellent if reduced by [-]%, and to be considered excellent if reduced by [-]%, and the same is true for middle-level households and upper-level households. To the extent of reaching the level of rich households, and has been maintained, the inclusion of this poverty alleviation index will be scrapped.

This is just one of the income items, and all other items have similar evaluations.

This system can indeed play a role in spurring local officials to work hard, but it is too idealistic. Only very capable officials can get a good evaluation in this evaluation system. Moreover, this Officials must be very busy and very tired, because there are too many aspects to worry about.

There is no one who is an official who really bends down to serve the people like a cow or a horse. Even Sun Xiangfu, a descendant like Sun Xiangfu, who can't see others suffering, will only help as much as his ability allows. The common people live a prosperous life, like the civil studies class, although it is beneficial to the common people, but Sun Xiangfu only talks for about an hour a day, so he won't make himself too tired.

There is also the case of Jiuyuan County, which can develop rapidly because it has some unique advantages in geographical resources, and can develop some specific industries such as duck raising, rice planting, and fish farming. In many places, There is no industrial advantage at all, and it is useless to ask the officials in charge to go there to think hard. Anyone who goes to such a place to be an official will get unqualified assessments every year.

"I think so too, but I still want to promote this policy. It doesn't matter if it can't be passed by the court, it's fine if it can be used in my chief's Shannan Road, because I think that only in this way can all the officials in power, They all become like you, dare to think, and dare to realize what you think.”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "So, do you want me to modify the contents of this memorial to make it more feasible?"

Changsun Wuji nodded, but did not speak.

Sun Xiangfu looked at the empty caviar pot, and said with a smile, "Look, if this is done later, will you have to add me to your Majesty's end? Next time! You are greedy, come here It’s fine to just eat, but don’t ask about political affairs anymore.”

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "It won't be on your head this time, it's all on Li Wenyong's head. Your Majesty likes such a talent the most now. Maybe in a year or two, he can go directly to the Ministry of Officials. Woolen cloth!"

"Okay then! I'll modify it later, and I'll send it to you. However, after your Majesty comes to Shannan Road, if you don't bring it to me, then don't bring it to me! Jinan County is also Yingzhou You can also go to Zhongxiang County, which is under construction. You know, when His Majesty comes, many people who are afraid of chaos in the world will do small tricks again to drive a wedge between us. .”

"Well, the old man can only say try his best, or else, the old man tells Wang Xu and others to leave here for now? They want to build a business in Jiangling City, so I still have to give this little face to the old man."

Sun Xiangfu shook his head and said, "Wang Xu wants to plan something, and he doesn't need to end it himself. How can he say that he is also the head of the Wang family now, so even if he is allowed to leave temporarily, it is useless. I want His Majesty If nothing bad happens, just tell him not to come to Jiuyuan County. As long as Zhao Long and Feng Gong wipe out the remnants of Wang Hao's forces and stop His Majesty's speculative thoughts, no matter how noisy those people are, it will be useless, the big deal. I've been farming my whole life in Jiuyuan County, and I don't care about worldly affairs."

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay! Then you should take care of yourself. Your Majesty may not be here for a short time. I have to prepare well. After that, I'm afraid I won't come here often. Now, you should take more care of the princes, His Majesty thinks that they have made a lot of progress recently, and plans to release them to other states as governors after they turn sixteen."

"Okay, I know about it."

After sending away the eldest grandson Wuji, Sun Xiangfu returned to the living room to have a good meal. Li Xiangdie and Yao Hongxiu brought him some food again. While eating, Sun Xiangfu carefully studied the proposal proposed by Li Wenyong. What needs to be modified in the system, maybe the brain cells are more active when eating, really reminded him a lot.

For example, if the evaluation indicators for enriching the people are dismantled and only focus on poverty alleviation, it will be no problem to implement it in the whole country, let alone Shannan Province. Li Shimin is now very keen on doing this kind of popular work.

In addition, counties with poor resources and counties with rich resources have different assessment standards, and independently form a year-on-year and ring-to-ring system, etc.

I am thinking about it!But Li Xiangdie snatched the booklet.

"These things should be left to the ministers who are in office to worry about. Husband, you can't even eat well. If you work hard, you can't get anything good. It's like you owe the court. Why do you care about it? .”

Seeing Li Xiangdie's way of persuading himself to eat well, Sun Xiangfu felt warmed up, and laughed, "What you said really makes sense, do it, don't worry about it, by the way, you You two are Si Zheng from the fourth grade of Tai Le Si, so you should be regarded as serving officials! Why didn't I see you share the worries of the court!"

Hearing this, Li Xiangdie pouted, and said, "We have been running for the imperial court in the Western Regions for three years, and we have not had a day off. Now that we are back, we should give us the rest days for these three years! Two months is reasonable, add up, exactly half a year, so we still have several months, it is best during this time, we have a child, the imperial court must not allow pregnant women to work! So, can the concubine If you sneak around at home, it depends on whether you work hard, husband."

Li Xiangdie can always talk about this kind of human relations in front of Sun Xiangfu without shame. Such a wild scene, but she would always be embarrassed, so she would just lower her head, blushing, and pick up vegetables for Sun Xiangfu.

"Yeah, yum, work hard, work hard, this place is a treasure of geomantic omen for Li Yun, and when my husband is full, I will fight you for [-] rounds."
