Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 215 Performance Assessment Method

Zhu Biao was very surprised as to who Wang Buli said wanted to harm him.

Why does this kid react so quickly?

"Yes, you just need to realize this. Some people want to praise you and suggest that your father give you a high-ranking official position so that they can find more loopholes to attack you. My father refused. Besides, the Beijing official has to be on probation for one year. You will be evaluated after a year.”

Not only did it take nine years for civil servants to have a chance, but those who became officials in the capital were mostly evaluated at the end of three or six years. In the ninth year, the decision whether to be dismissed or promoted was made by the emperor alone.

It's just that because of the empty seal case, many people did not make it to nine years.

Even after being shackled, don't think about any good comments.

Wang Buli snorted, referring to Lao Zhu's subsequent operation of purging courtiers for imperial power.

It's probably because after being promoted, you come into contact with more officials, the easier it is to get involved.

Now that he is his son-in-law, he can be a minor Ninth Grade Dianshi and have less affairs to deal with, which is just right for Wang Buli.

If he really wants to work desperately for Lao Zhu, he will never be happy.

"Ah."

Wang Buli didn't know what it meant to be thin-skinned, so he climbed up the pole:

If they perform well, they will be rewarded, and maybe the prince will be able to find some good way to avoid it. "

If you want to achieve results in just one year, I'm afraid it will be easier to collude with local forces.

The assessment of civil servants was an original creation of the Ming Dynasty.

It just sounds "foolish".

"By the way, since you attach so much importance to grassroots officials, I think it's better to conduct assessments for civil servants below the fifth rank."

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, as long as Wang Buli didn't think his official position was small.

Taking advantage of the fact that Jinshi have not yet entered the imperial court in large numbers, especially during the break period, it would be good to occupy more positions.

This is good for you and me, but not good for the court!

If they are given time to deal with the local forces that disobey him before they start doing things, it will probably be easier to achieve political achievements.

Zhu Biao did not refute the statement that he was a prince. It was normal for a current prince to train one or two of his own team.

"Father is wise. I'm so grateful for rejecting the offer. I didn't fall into someone's scheme. The prince will turn around and thank my father for me."

"Once a year seems to be too frequent, and it also costs a lot of money. Why not do it so intensively? You need to think carefully about it."

Although his father and the two of them share the same team, those ministers are all veterans who have followed his father to conquer the world. When he comes to power, how many will be available?

"Why don't you please me?"

Zhu Biao then told Wang Buli some things that happened in the court today, focusing on the words of many officials who praised Wang Buli.

In this way, officials who cooperate with the inspection can go through a formality to deceive the court.

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, and the official went to a place where he was unfamiliar to be an official alone.

"You mean to collect from various county offices?"

Anyway, life and death matter, who knows which day I will be purged.

Listening to Zhu Biao's inquiry, Wang Buli glanced at him:

"I flatter you so much. I give you suggestions every time. What else do you want from me?"

Listening to these words, Wang Buli laughed, feeling that these scholars could still praise others.

Wang Buli didn't bother again. This was considered a chance for officials from all over the country.

"Some of the courtiers in the court are unclean." Zhu Biao picked up the tea cup and blew on it: "I want you to go away."

After Zhu Biao thought clearly, he nodded and said:

"Your method of asking the officials is a good one. It also gives them room for advancement."

"I said a lot of things last night, but they didn't quite satisfy me, so I wanted to ask you, who can raise the issue, if you have any solutions."

Zhu Biao was flipping through Wang Buli's work diary and suddenly said:

It was not easy for Zhu Biao to ask too many questions, but conducting an investigation based on the emperor's order would indeed make people mistakenly think that it would be implemented soon.

As for the Beijing inspection, it was started after Zhu Dijing succeeded. It was not until the first year of Zhengtong that the Beijing inspection was set as a fixed rule.

"Yes, the prince can personally order the selection of county governments in several surrounding prefectures and let them make suggestions based on the formulated policies.

"Go, go, go."

So early this morning, many ministers used Wang Buli to clear the ditch in advance to prevent the people of Jiangning County from suffering losses from heavy rains, and pushed him up.

But we have to conduct an investigation in the name of the prince and wait for the policy to be promulgated, which may be when!

In this way, their current interests will not be taken away.

Earn money without being cleaned.

"Those people are so bad. They all want to kick me out of the capital. Are they afraid that I will find out some cases behind their backs?"

Starting from the sixth year of Hongwu, Yushitai and others were ordered to conduct inspections once a year.

Wang Buli also picked up the tea cup and smiled. Lao Zhu tried to formulate an eternal law, how could it be possible?

"That makes sense." Zhu Biao took a sip before saying slowly:

"After what you said yesterday, there are so many problems. Is there no way for you to avoid them?"

"What I mean is, if you ask at the grassroots level, those officials and scribes are the first to implement it. Which official in the government would personally do that kind of thing?

If you can really make good suggestions, and you come forward to reward or promote him, you can be regarded as cultivating the prince line, and everyone will be willing to curry favor with you, the future prince. "

"Brother Prince, why don't you ask the officials about this kind of thing?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Although the laws of the imperial court are strict, they don't have rules and regulations that cover everything. Moreover, the laws of the Ming Dynasty need to be updated and modified from time to time."

Zhu Biao also nodded. According to Wang Buli's current image among the six officials, someone would be in trouble if he went there once.

"Brother-in-law, do you think it would be okay if I followed your template and asked the officials below to do the same?"

Wang Buli immediately remembered that Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister who was not good at finding a career, came to help his subordinates to pass the examination, because the local officials all invariably concealed the public sentiment from their superiors and did not report the truth to the court.

Over time, money stopped flowing into the national treasury and flowed into the hands of corrupt officials, and the people's curses had to be shouldered by the court.

"Great idea."

Wang Buli immediately praised him.

"Please help me think about how to improve it. I think once this method comes out, it will definitely be much better than the assessment method formulated by my father."

Zhu Biao suddenly became interested because his father's method was too broad.

The officials from the fourth grade to the top are all self-reported by the ministers, and then handed over to the emperor for free inquiry. They mainly focus on moral character and are much weaker on administrative aspects.

Wang Buli pretended to think for a while:

“Although the examination and inspection methods are good, it is difficult for local officials to implement them.

In the capital, it was okay to have His Majesty personally watching over him, but in the officialdom outside the capital, he was perfunctory and irresponsible, leading to a lack of discipline and laws, and I'm afraid there were a lot of them. "

"Well, that's true."

Zhu Biao deeply felt that the larger the territory, the busier the emperor would be, and he would have to submit letters to various places.

The emperor alone is too busy.

Although Zhu Biao believes that he is currently sharing the pressure with his father, in the future he will have to help his son handle government affairs early, otherwise he will sooner or later be tired and die young like Zhuge Liang by himself.

"Brother Prince, I have an idea. The chiefs of the six ministries and the chief envoy will set a deadline for completion of the official duties that the subordinate officials of each ministry should handle, and register the official duties to be done.

Secondly, an official document book should be made in triplicate, one copy should be kept with the Chief Secretary as a base, and one copy should be sent to the Sixth Section.

The Sixth Section will be used as a record, and the other copy will be handed over to the Zhongshu Provincial Department for review.

The chiefs of the Six Ministries and the Chief Secretary must inspect the matters that their subordinate officials should undertake on a monthly basis. All official duties must be completed according to the priority and distance of the journey, and must be completed within a set time limit, and then be written off one by one.

If it is not completed within the prescribed time limit, it must be reported truthfully, otherwise it will be punished with a felony.

Zhongshu Sheng leads the six ministries and controls the six departments and the Chief Secretary. The Chief Secretary then controls the local areas and inspects officials at all levels, so that the inspection work of officials is directly responsible to the Zhongshu Sheng.

Systematically, the inspection responsibilities of Zhongshu Sheng have been improved, and the administrative status of Zhongshu Sheng has also been improved, which can gradually strengthen the power of the central government and weaken the power of local governments, so as to avoid the use of empty seals, etc. of clearing others. "

Wang Buli was speechless, and was dazzled by what he said to Zhu Biao. He knew clearly that his father would abolish the prime minister system, and there would be no Zhongshu Province.

In other words, the emperor will replace Zhongshu Sheng. What Wang Buli just said is also a way to strengthen the imperial power.

Zhu Biao carefully reflected on Wang Buli's advice. He stood up and walked back and forth.

His fists were clenched excitedly, and his face was getting redder.

What a great idea!

"Brother-in-law, what do you think this should be called?"

"The method of examining the effectiveness of officials is abbreviated as the examination method." Wang Buli replied.

"Take the test ~ good!"

Zhu Biao continued to circle in circles, his face extremely excited.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was a king of scrolls, and Zhu Biao was no less generous.

Now there is a good way to change Ming Dynasty's policy, just like winning a battle.

"Good good."

After Zhu Biao turned around in a small circle, he turned around in a big circle. Official governance has always been a problem for the country.

Despite his father's strict criminal laws, he could not get rid of a large number of people committing corruption and crimes.

Now that there is such a big step to pass the examination, he is really excited.

Officials who deceive and lie will be severely investigated and punished according to the law.

It is required to be carried out on a monthly basis and a summary must be carried out every year.

This will naturally improve the administrative capabilities of officials more than the previous examinations and inspections.

Rather than engaging in "character".

The Ministry of Personnel is still the main department in the process of implementing the examination method.

Officials in the hall responsible for the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel need to inquire about matters and make a comprehensive assessment of the officials' diligence, so that the process of processing official documents is relatively simplified.

Zhu Biao thought that this was also in line with his father's ideas, lest someone be inconsiderate of the people and cause thieves to run rampant, and eventually the court would have to come out to clean up the mess.

And it is also in line with the idea that the father likes to personally intervene without slacking off at all.

Because the officials in a place are not well governed, the place will not be peaceful.

Such capable officials can come up, but those who are incompetent can go down.

Zhu Biao chatted about the details for a while, then the two said goodbye to each other, and Zhu Biao returned directly to the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time after listening to Wang Buli's advice.

He does not prevent his son from cultivating some forces of his own, but Wang Buli's behavior as a "hardcore princeling" is too obvious, right?

Not hiding anything, Zhu Biao also frankly talked about the benefits of doing so.

It is true that sometimes the prince and the emperor have different people who need to do things.
