My servant in the Tang Dynasty is Li Shimin

Chapter 84 Shaking the Foundation!

Listening to Wang Yuan's words, Changsun Wuji almost had a cerebral hemorrhage!

Prince, is it not good for you to scold me in front of me like this!

And, am I really that useless?

Not so much!

At this moment, Changsun Wuji's heart really collapsed infinitely, and he had the urge to cry on the spot!
"nonsense!"

Wang Yuan was full of disdain, swallowed a mouthful of wine, curled his lips and said:
"As long as he is useful, the Tang Dynasty's officials will not collapse to the point of rubbish."

"To put it bluntly, whether officials are clean or not now depends entirely on their own self-control!"

"The bureaucrats are among them, and they are of no use at all!"

"As for Changsun Wuji, even if he is replaced by a dog, he won't have any problems, and he won't be able to do anything!"

Anyway, since Changsun Wuji wasn't here, Wang Yuan also said he was happy, even if he said it, he didn't care too much.

In fact, in his previous life, he felt that the ancient official assessment system had too many flaws, and it was basically useless.

It's okay in prosperous times, those officials will restrain themselves, but in troubled times, they can really do whatever they want, and they can do any dark deeds!

"But this is also forced to be helpless!"

Listening to Wang Yuan's complaints and criticism, Changsun Wuji's expression was gloomy and his tone was low:
"Since the Qin Emperor unified the land of the Central Plains, the examination and inspection of officials has always been an unsolvable problem."

"Changsun Wuji also wants to change, but he is powerless!"

"There are rumors in Chang'an that he has been taught several times by the Holy Son of Heaven because of this matter."

Although he knew that he did not do well, Changsun Wuji still wanted to defend himself a few words.

He didn't want Wang Yuan to think that he was a failed Minister of the Ministry of Officials before he joined the Ministry of Officials.

"Is this also called powerlessness?"

Wang Yuan looked directly at Changsun Wuji, and asked:

"The so-called powerlessness means that we have tried our best to change, but the change has failed. This is powerlessness."

"As for Changsun Wuji, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, what major changes has he made?"

"Maybe he has some actions, but they are all small troubles, and they have not been shaken to the root."

"Not to mention the fact that he was criticized for this, that is exactly what he deserves!"

"If Li Er doesn't scold him, he's out of his mind!"

"It's not that he's powerless at all, but just muddling along!"

"This"

Changsun Wuji was speechless because what Wang Yuan said was indeed what he thought in his heart.

He just held the idea that one day is one day. Although he tried to make some reform measures, they were all irrelevant and he dared not touch the key points.

Because the official system of the Tang Dynasty involves too much.

In this era where any book can be as expensive as heaven, and a set of books for imperial examinations is worth millions.

If a person wants to study and become an official, it is absolutely impossible without the backing of a family!
Although it is cruel to say that "it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family since ancient times", it is a helpless reality.

Therefore, although the Tang Dynasty retained the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin was also trying his best to promote it, but it still had little effect.

In the official system of the Tang Dynasty, the vast majority of officials were still from various families.

Because ordinary people can't afford to read books at all!
"Hey!"

Changsun Wuji lowered his head and respectfully said to Wang Yuan:
"As Prince Wang said before, if you, my lord, replace Changsun Wuji as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, how will you solve this problem?"

Although he was speechless to refute, he still wanted to see what Wang Yuan would think about it.

Since Wang Yuan is so confident, let's listen to what he has to say.

"It's so easy!"

As Wang Yuan spoke, Changsun Wuji quickly sat up straight and listened intently.

At this moment, he had completely concentrated his energy, for fear of missing any word.

If it wasn't for the fear of revealing his identity, he would even have taken out a pen and paper to copy.

The majestic Duke of the Tang Dynasty is no different from a student.

"You have to listen carefully."

Wang Yuan didn't mean to be tricky either, he even hoped that Lao Sun would pass these words to Li Er's ears.

Anyway, in this regard, the idiots like Lao Li have never let themselves down.

"The key to evaluating officials is mainly in these points!"

"One, the assessment method. For officials with a long tenure, evaluation should be made based on his performance in the past three years."

"Evaluation criteria can be divided into nine levels. Officials with the lowest evaluation for three consecutive years will be severely punished."

"And the highest evaluation for three consecutive years is to give the highest reward. If you are rated as the best, you can be promoted first."

"Son, I understand."

Changsun Wuji read it silently in his mind several times, and memorized it thoroughly, not daring to miss a single word.

It's just that he still had a question in his heart. After hesitating for a while, he asked hesitantly:
"My lord, are you finished?"

Although Wang Gongzi's plan is very good, compared with the previous shocking plans, it is a bit "too ordinary", right?
"hey-hey!"

"Of course not. Didn't I just say that there are a few points? The real highlight is yet to come!"

Wang Yuan chuckled, and continued:
"The second point is the severe punishment I just mentioned!"

"The punishment methods used by the court in the past were too weak. Apart from giving those corrupt officials a chance, they were useless in other aspects!"

"My lord, what you said is wrong." Changsun Wuji shook his head and said hastily:
"According to the law, there are three levels of punishment for corrupt officials."

"One is taking money and breaking the law, which refers to breaking the law after accepting bribes. The punishment is based on the amount of money stolen, and the most serious is execution by hanging.

"The second is to receive money without breaking the law. It refers to accepting money from the parties, but it does not violate the law in the handling of official affairs, but the most serious thing is exile."

"The third is to be subject to supervision, which refers to the acceptance of property, and the party that granted the property has no specific requirements, and the officials have not violated the law. The most important thing is that they will be exiled for two thousand miles.

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji blinked and asked, "My lord, can this be considered weak?"

He, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is naturally very clear about Datang's laws on dealing with corrupt officials.

And in his opinion, this is already very severe!

"nonsense!"

However, after Wang Yuan listened, his face was full of disdain:
"Isn't that considered weakness?"

"Now the officials of the Tang Dynasty are basically controlled by the aristocratic family. What's the use of punishing oneself?"

"Let me give you an example. If there is a person with the lowest evaluation for three consecutive years, not only will his official position be cut, but he will not be hired for life."

"It is also necessary to let the official relatives who have a direct relationship with him within three generations, except for the important officials of the third rank and above, all others will be demoted!",

"And his descendants will not be allowed to be officials within three generations!"

"This is the real severe punishment, the punishment that can make the big family fear!"

"Now these hangings and exiles are all rubbish!"

　Thank you Fumeng, He for the reward, very very very very thankful to the two big guys.

　　There are also free to ask, Crazy Van Helsing, EFFREGERGFV, 20170814102611543 rewards, really thank you for your support!
