I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 258 The promotion channel of the petty official
In fact, earlier, when Lu Zhen and others' predecessors, Yang Qing and others were serving as imperial envoys, Li Tian had the idea of ​​reorganizing the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

It's just that, some time ago, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was either not doing business, or the Lu Zhen incident happened, which made Li Tian very angry with the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This matter was delayed.

If a country wants to keep officials clean, high salaries are only one of the most basic ways, and the establishment of an absolutely efficient and unrelenting supervisory agency is the top priority.

If Lu Zhen can't do this task, Jin Youde can't even do it.

But today, since Gu Zuo came into his sight, he has actually made up his mind that this person must stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He had waited for so long, but he was actually waiting for such a character to appear.

To say how much Li Tian knows about Gu Zuo, it's actually not that much.

But Li Tian especially believed in his own eyesight. He fell in love with this guy who was very similar to Bao Zheng in later TV dramas in terms of appearance and temperament at first sight.

Coupled with what Yang Shiqi and others told him about Gu Zuo's experience, he took the risk to help Gu Zuo to be impeached by the current government, and even publicly announced the order to reorganize the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

I have to say that sometimes, the timing of doing things is very important.

No matter whether Li Tian is earlier or later, the procuratorate will probably cause a huge backlash if he handles it this way, and it is even possible for those Qingliu people to block the door and scold the street.

Today, in order to impeach Gu Zuo, the Kodao speaker unexpectedly exposed the little secret of the officials when he couldn't find a reason.

Let Li Tian catch the braids of most of the officials who were let go.

With an old punch, they didn't even have the time and preparation to fight back.

I thought it would be an extremely difficult matter, but I didn't expect it to be solved so easily.

Li Tian was also very happy.

After seeing Yang Shiqi and others coming to the cabinet, Li Tian smiled and said,

"This Gu Zuo is really a noble person. I never thought that this extremely important part of the reform would be solved so easily because of him."

"Shiqi, you guys recommended it well. From now on, I will use as many people like this as I come, and I will not be afraid of those who come."

Yang Shiqi smiled wryly,

"Your Majesty, you should spare the old minister. Just because of Gu Zuo, my spine might be bent. If this happens a few more times, you may not see the old minister again, Your Majesty!"

Above the court, in order to suppress those gossip officials who wanted to stir up trouble, Li Tian deliberately said some harsh words to Yang Shiqi and others, and he actually felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Forget it, if something like this happens again in the future, I will definitely notify you in advance. This is the head office!"

To get such a guarantee from Li Tian, ​​for the courtiers, what else can they say, except for a wry smile, there is nothing else to say.

After all, Ren Jin was young, so he might not see as far away as Li Tian and Yang Shiqi and others, so he couldn't help but said to Li Tian worriedly,
"Your Majesty, from now on, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be able to transfer to other yamen. In a short period of time, it seems that this matter may greatly curb the possibility of corruption by those envoys.

But if things go on like this, I worry that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will no longer have fresh blood to join, which will be very detrimental to the future. "

What Ren Jin said was actually worried by Huang Zhun, Yang Shiqi and others, but Li Tian was in high spirits right now, and they didn't want to spoil Li Tian's interest, so they didn't say much.

But he didn't want to be told by Ren Jin.

Li Tian shook his head lightly and said,

"You don't have to worry about this. In the future, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be established in all the counties and counties of Daming just like the Judicial Office."

"The number of personnel required by then will be a staggering number."

"And the Metropolitan Procuratorate is already independent from the six departments, so the selection of personnel in the future can be bolder and more realistic."

Hearing these two sentences, Yang Shiqi and others were a little confused, and said in a puzzled way,

"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Is it possible that people from the Chengdu Procuratorate don't need to take the imperial examination?"

Li Tian snapped his fingers suddenly and praised,

"Shi Qi is worthy of being the chief assistant of the court, and his knowledge is really extraordinary."

"You guessed it right, I have this plan!"

Yang Rong said worriedly,

"But officials who are not selected through the imperial examination, can they still be called officials?"

"Why can't they be called officials? Since craftsmen can pass the examination for officials of the Tiangong Academy, why can't they pass the examination of the Daming Law to select officials for the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Judicial Office?"

After explaining to Yang Rong, Li Tian continued to say,

"Anyone who is proficient in the law of the Ming Dynasty and has undergone selection and training can become an official of the imperial court."

"In this way, those petty officials who can read and write, but will never be able to become officials, also have the opportunity to step into the system of imperial officials, so that they also have a channel for promotion. Isn't it a multiplicity of actions."

When the few people heard that Li Tian even had a backup candidate, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

After careful thinking, Yang Shiqi seemed to be enlightened suddenly,

"Wonderful, His Majesty's move is so profound, it's really wonderful!"

Huang Zhun didn't react for a while, so he hurriedly asked,

"Tell us, Shi Qi, what did you think of!"

Yang Shiqi stroked the gray beard on his chin and said,
"I don't know if you've heard a saying, 'The county magistrate is better off now!'"

Several people were taken aback for a moment, but none of them understood.

Li Tian was also happy to see how much Yang Shiqi had comprehended, so he didn't interrupt.

Yang Shiqi laughed,
"You guys, you really don't hear what's going on outside the window."

"This county magistrate is not as good as the current one. What he is talking about is actually the hateful place of the local officials. The county town that was originally peaceful is made into a mess by these officials, making the people miserable."

"As for those county magistrates who change places in three years, even if they want to manage it, they are powerless."

"The main reason why those petty officials are so domineering is because they have cut off the possibility of continuing to be officials, and they still have some power in their hands. Apart from collecting money, they have nothing else to do."

"If His Majesty's plan can be implemented, these people who have no hope of official career will have a channel for promotion. Tell me, will they still harm the people like this?"

At this time, Yang Rong and others sent it back to the memory.

It also gradually understood why Li Tian did this.

"So it turns out that His Majesty is so far-sighted, I am ashamed..."

"Shi Qi, you are really serious. If you said this earlier, I would have understood it long ago. Why do you need to embarrass yourself in front of His Majesty? Hey, you are really..."

Several people hurt each other first, then looked at each other and laughed.
