Traveled through Daming, but was punished by the old Zhu Shizu

Therefore, the test method came into being.

However, Liu Xiu did not think about these details for the time being.

The most important thing now is to finalize the reform of officials' salaries first.

And the test method is just a side dish next to the main course!

"Go on!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he urged with great interest.

Liu Xiu nodded and continued,

"The minimum guarantee is to guarantee the most basic necessities of life for officials,

He has a different basic salary. The basic salary alone may not be able to guarantee the basic necessities of officials.

If an official does not get performance the first time,

Or because of unexpected circumstances, the income is not enough to meet his basic living needs,

He can then apply to the government for minimum protection.

The purpose of the minimum guarantee is to ensure that officials will not be cornered and embark on the road of searching for the common people! "

Song Zan couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, applauding,

Liu Xiu's set of policies is full of humanized design, which gives sufficient buffer time for the reform of officials' salaries.

Presumably, after the actual implementation, those officials who did not receive performance awards would not be able to say anything.

After all, I gave you a chance. If you haven't seized the second chance,

It can only prove that you are a mediocre official!

"And the welfare package is the guarantee of privileges for officials."

As soon as Liu Xiu said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed immediately.

"Wait, didn't you just say,

Is the law of historical cycles because officials use their privileges to engage in land annexation?

We can't figure it out,

How to give them extra benefits instead of suppressing their privileges? ! "

Chapter 291

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little skeptical,

What Liu Xiu said was inconsistent,

What exactly does that mean?

Liu Xiu calmly said,

"Your Majesty, this privilege is not that privilege."

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Tell us about it."

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Xiu with burning eyes,

An expression that although we haven't gone to school, don't lie to us!

Liu Xiu thought for a while and said,

"Your Majesty, officials are the elite of the dynasty,

They were either founding heroes, or passed the imperial examination,

In any case, they are all dragons and phoenixes who are one in a million. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,

"We admit it."

"But if you think about it, this group of elites live on par with peasants except for their power.

Even the monthly salary, even the basic necessities of life cannot be solved.

Can they balance their hearts?

As soon as their hearts are unbalanced, they think of ways to abuse the power in their hands to highlight their differences.

Therefore, a good official will be twisted into a corrupt official. "

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and couldn't say anything.

After Zhu Yuanzhang came to the throne, relying on superhuman willpower and a lifestyle almost like a bitter monk,

For more than ten years, dealing with the political affairs of Ming Dynasty,

He restrains the officials of Ming Dynasty with his own requirements, hoping that officials of Ming Dynasty can be like him,

However, people like Zhu Yuanzhang are still rare animals.

It can be said that most people who want to be officials are waiting to enjoy blessings, not to suffer.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't think about what Liu Xiu said.

Zhu Yuanzhang had the greatest tolerance for the people, but he was extremely harsh on those elites who supported the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Xiu Zhu Yuanzhang heard what he said today, so he asked,

"Your Majesty, in what dynasty do you think the prosperity of civil servants in the past dynasties will be?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation,

"Song."

Xu Da and Song Zan also nodded in agreement, the prosperity of civil servants reached its peak in the Song Dynasty!

It can be said that the civil servants of the Song Dynasty had the highest status in all dynasties.

Similarly, Song Taizu's attitude of co-ruling the world with scholar-bureaucrats also gave Song Dynasty civil servants a sense of ownership.

The Song Dynasty is a model of the blending of monarchs and ministers with fish and water.

Zhu Yuanzhang widened his eyes and asked,

"You mean?!"

Liu Xiu nodded,

"That's what I mean.

The reason why the civil servants of the Song Dynasty were able to work so hard was because the royal family of the Song Dynasty did not treat them as outsiders.

These civil officials knew that only when they were officials in the Song Dynasty could they have such a high status and fame,

So they also tried their best to maintain the rule of the Song Dynasty!

This is to throw for plums and return peaches.

May I ask Your Majesty, do the officials of Daming think so? ! "

Xu Da and Song Zan could only lower their heads like ostriches when they heard the words.

They were afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would turn his head and ask himself. In this case, they could only lie against their conscience.

However, Liu Xiu's question,

The answer is obvious.

Officials of the Ming Dynasty were precarious, their salaries were low, and they were greedy even at the risk of beheading.

Can such an official have a sense of belonging to Daming?

Can they have a sense of ownership? !

Zhu Yuanzhang obviously relaxed, and asked,

"Tell me, what are the benefits?"

"Allow them to have certain economic privileges, such as exempting land from taxation, no interest on government loans, and renting mountains, lakes, and seas...

The heirs of officials can enter the palace as Langguan, familiarize themselves with political affairs in the palace, and then appoint officials according to their achievements..."

Song Zan's face became extremely weird when he heard it, and he couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was also the same,

The privilege that Liu Xiu mentioned, they thought it was such a privilege,

But really listening to what Liu Xiu said, isn't this what these officials do on weekdays?

It's just that Liu Xiu moved them to the table and legalized them.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood Liu Xiu's intentions,

same thing,

Do it secretly, or do it legally,

is very different!

Liu Xiu's main purpose is to highlight the superiority of the elite and make them feel that being an official really has high benefits!

This time around, it's completely different.

This is to cultivate the sense of ownership of this group of officials,

Let them know that it is best for them to be officials only under the rule of Ming Dynasty,

Therefore, they will naturally maintain the rule of Ming Dynasty!

Isn't this better than killing with a knife? ! ! !

Song Zan's eyes couldn't help flashing a look of admiration,

Although he has been an official for a short time, he has indeed come into contact with various officials,

There will always be someone like Liu Xiu, who governs a big country like cooking a small fish, and who can make policies with ease!

What's even more surprising is that he has already figured out the knowledge of people's hearts!

Liu Xiu also talked about the excitement, and directly mentioned the remaining two designs,
