My subjects are too rebellious!

"When it rains, the dirt road becomes muddy and difficult to walk on. A journey that usually takes three to five days may take seven to eight days or even longer. The road I built will make travel between places more convenient."

"Moreover, if the construction is carried out according to the drawings I gave me, there will be absolutely no major problems. Besides... this is using the money of the southern gentry to pave roads and bridges in the south. My dear, why are you so distressed?"

Heshen opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Qin Chuan stopped talking, patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the hall.

Heshen had no choice but to leave with Long Er.

And Long Er just looked at the drawing in his hand, thoughtful.

Drains... Manhole covers... Two-way streets... Dotted lines, solid lines...

Inside the hall, Zhang Baigui and Wang Anshi had stopped their discussion, and both sat upright without looking to the side.

When Qin Chuan came in, the two of them immediately stood up and saluted.

"His Majesty."

"His Majesty."

Qin Chuan suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "Sit down, no need to be polite."

"I just saw that you two seemed to have a lot of ideas about measuring the land of the country and the performance evaluation system for officials, so I didn't bother you."

"Well, have you come up with a result?" Qin Chuan stood in front of the two of them and asked with a smile.

Zhang Baigui looked at His Majesty and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, first of all, we need to analyze and mark every piece of land on the map in detail, including river layout, land fertility, topography and other factors."

"These factors are very important for taxation. If people in poor land and fertile land have the same tax, it would be unfair to the people."

Hearing the word "unfair", Qin Chuan looked at Zhang Baigui with even more joy.

Zhang Baigui continued, "Your Majesty, I plan to form a special surveying team to conduct on-site surveys in various places in the south, so that we can obtain real data."

At this point, Zhang Baigui suddenly knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, I want the Jinyiwei to cooperate with me."

Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, figured out the reason, and said with a smile: "Are you worried that local officials will deceive their superiors and hide the truth from their subordinates?"

"Exactly."

"Okay then, I'll have Long Yi send someone to cooperate with you. Just tell him what you want to do."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Baigui's face lit up and he bowed again.

Then, Qin Chuan looked at Wang Anshi standing aside.

"Has the performance evaluation method produced any results?"

Wang Anshi frowned, obviously worried about the promotion of this system of examination and said, "Your Majesty, I think all the work of the six ministries must be recorded based on facts."

"What exactly has been done, what is planned to be done, what goals are to be achieved, the specific data, time, and location, all must be recorded."

Qin Chuan nodded.

Isn’t this the ancestor of performance appraisal in later generations?

Seeking truth from facts in the true sense.

Qin Chuan motioned for Wang Anshi to continue.

"As the executors, the six ministries must have such a book, which is the examination results book. At the same time, two copies must be made, one for the six departments corresponding to the six ministries, and the other for Your Majesty."

Good guy...

Qin Chuan looked at Wang Anshi. He didn't expect that these two people had planned to this extent.

This is equivalent to one, one in the supervisory system, one in the six ministries, and one in the six departments.

Isn't this just filing? And they also considered verification and assessment.

Qin Chuan didn't know how much resistance there would be in implementing performance appraisal and last-place elimination. Now he finally understood why Zhang Juzheng in his previous life was not completely successful.

Under such a system, the local officials who were originally idle are no longer idle.

The so-called three years as a clean magistrate and 100,000 silver coins probably no longer exist.

At this time, Zhang Baigui added: "Your Majesty, I think that if the performance evaluation system is implemented in the Wu Dynasty, then the censors of the six departments will not be able to report on rumors. If they need to impeach someone in the future."

"Based on this performance report, every ten days and every month, we will review the work of the six ministries item by item, and then propose rewards and punishments for officials based on the review results."

"Your Majesty conducts a small test every quarter and a big test every year, using three identical books to examine officials from the six ministries and six departments one by one."

"In this case, the six ministries are responsible to the six departments, and the six departments are responsible to Your Majesty."

Watching the two of them talking, Qin Chuan felt worried for those officials.

What is this called?

This is called quantifying the work procedures, which forces out work efficiency.

From the imperial court to the local level, a completely unified performance evaluation system was implemented.

Thinking of something, Qin Chuan looked at the two of them.

"Aren't you afraid?"

The two of them have touched the interests of the bureaucratic group.

"Gou Li country lives and dies, so how can we avoid misfortune and good fortune?"

"Brother Bai Gui is right. As ministers, we read the books of sages and should help Your Majesty solve his problems."

Looking at the determined faces of the two, Qin Chuan said something unconsciously.

"Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Baigui and the other man were stunned.

They looked at each other and saw the excitement that was hard to conceal in each other's eyes.

This...isn't this what they are pursuing!

He immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, we will definitely establish our hearts for the world, establish our destiny for the people, carry on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity!"

Rain falls on the rich and the poor, on the righteous and the unrighteous; in fact, rain is not fair because it falls in an unjust world.

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Qin Chuan thought silently in his heart.

Perhaps, I cannot bring absolute fairness to the people, but I should be able to achieve relative fairness.

At the very least, I want to create a world where everyone can have enough food to eat and new clothes to wear.

......

Since Oboi surrendered to Qin Chuan and became the General of the Western Expedition, he has been training troops and preparing for war.

At this moment, Abahai, wearing silver-white armor, shining with cold light, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a sharp gaze, a burly figure, tall and mighty, was standing on the martial arts field.

At the command, the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner, brandishing their weapons one after another, making a series of clashes of swords, spears, and halberds.

Aobai suddenly stepped forward, holding a spear, and rushed forward like a tiger.

The drums of war are beating and the fighting is fierce.

"It's not right to chop like this. If you can't hurt the enemy with this strike on the battlefield, then you'll be dead."

Oboi commanded his soldiers to train in various formations, instructed their movements and steps, and required them to master various combat skills.

Looking at the sandbags on the soldiers' legs, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, this method is indeed good."
