Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Lingyan smiled at him with satisfaction and continued, "In the evaluation of officials, we need to build a more scientific and comprehensive evaluation system. Performance evaluation should not be limited to superficial data such as tax revenue and public security, but should also conduct in-depth examination of the long-term effectiveness of officials in promoting the sustainable development of the local economy and improving people's well-being."

"The assessment of moral character should collect information from multiple sources. It should not only examine officials' integrity and dedication in officialdom, but also understand their moral character in daily life. The assessment of ability should be carried out through dynamic evaluation by means of actual case analysis, simulated government affairs handling, etc., and officials should be regularly organized to participate in solving actual government affairs problems to observe their coping ability and decision-making level."

As Lingyan spoke, she gestured with her hands, her expression focused and earnest.

With admiration in his eyes, Minister Zhou cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness's insights into the assessment system are profound and comprehensive. Only such an assessment can truly measure the merits of officials. I will immediately organize personnel to refine the various indicators and methods for assessing performance, character, and ability, as Your Highness has suggested, to ensure the scientific and fair nature of the assessment."

Lingyan was very satisfied with his decisiveness and continued, "Regarding the allocation and appointment of officials, we should pay more attention to the matching of people to positions and fairness and impartiality. We should establish a detailed database of officials' abilities and strengths, and comprehensively record information such as their professional skills, work experience, and personality traits. When allocating officials, we should accurately match them with the actual needs and job characteristics of each region."

"At the same time, we will solicit opinions from all parties, including feedback from local residents, to ensure the rationality and scientific nature of the allocation. The appointment and removal of officials must strictly follow the established procedures, conduct comprehensive investigations and public announcements, accept social supervision, and eliminate any underhanded operations."

"Officials who make outstanding contributions and have excellent talents should be promoted and rewarded in a timely manner to encourage them to better serve the country; those who are incompetent should be resolutely adjusted or dismissed." Ling Yan's eyes revealed decisiveness and firmness.

Minister Zhou agreed wholeheartedly and nodded, saying, "Your Highness's considerations are thorough. Only by matching people to positions can officials maximize their effectiveness. I will implement these suggestions as soon as possible to ensure that every official can serve the country in a suitable position."

Seeing his cooperation, Lingyan continued, "Furthermore, we should further refine and quantify the performance evaluation indicators, and clarify the specific goals and measurement standards for each task. For example, in terms of taxation, we should not only focus on the growth of total tax revenue, but also assess the rationality of the tax structure, the efficiency of tax collection, and the effectiveness of tax policy implementation."

"In terms of public security, in addition to the decline in the crime rate, we also assess the construction of the social security and prevention system, the public's sense of security and satisfaction, etc.; in terms of livelihood projects, we specifically assess the number, quality, progress, and actual effects of the projects on improving people's lives."

"These refined indicators enable us to more accurately assess the performance of officials."

Minister Zhou took careful notes and then said, "Your Highness's detailed indicators are indeed feasible. In the past, the assessment was indeed vague. Now that the specific standards have been clarified, the performance assessment will definitely be more accurate and objective. I will work with the relevant departments to formulate detailed performance assessment rules as soon as possible to ensure that every task has a clear measurement standard."

Lingyan was extremely satisfied with him at this moment, and continued, "We can also develop a quantitative scoring table for moral character assessment, which will specify the performance in terms of integrity, public service, and moral conduct into several measurable indicators, such as whether there is any corruption or bribery, and whether professional ethics are followed. Each indicator will be assigned a corresponding score according to its importance and performance. Through regular surveys, evaluations, and scoring, the moral character of officials can be quantitatively evaluated, making the moral character assessment more objective, fair, and operable."

"Furthermore, the assessment of talent adopts a combination of methods, including regular business ability tests, work performance evaluations, superior evaluations, peer evaluations, and public satisfaction surveys. The business ability test covers knowledge and skills in areas such as laws and regulations, administrative management, and policy analysis."

"Work performance evaluation mainly focuses on the achievements and innovative results of officials in their work. Evaluations from superiors and colleagues reflect officials' work ability, teamwork ability, and leadership ability from different perspectives. Public satisfaction surveys directly reflect officials' performance and effectiveness in serving the public. By comprehensively using these assessment methods, we can comprehensively and objectively evaluate the level of officials' abilities."

Upon hearing this, Minister Zhou's eyes lit up with admiration as he said, "Your Highness's method of talent assessment is comprehensive and reasonable. It can evaluate officials' abilities from multiple dimensions. I will arrange for relevant personnel to carefully design the various assessment contents and procedures to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the talent assessment."

Hearing this, Lingyan looked at him with shining eyes, and then continued, "We can also establish strict assessment procedures and standards, clearly defining the assessment time, methods, participants, and division of responsibilities. During the assessment process, assessors are required to strictly follow the standards for evaluation and are not allowed to arbitrarily change or relax the conditions. The collection and statistics of assessment data must ensure their authenticity and accuracy, and falsification is strictly prohibited."

"At the same time, we will strengthen supervision and inspection of the assessment process, and hold relevant personnel accountable if any violations are found."

Upon hearing this, Minister Zhou's expression turned serious, and he solemnly replied, "The strictness of the assessment procedures and standards is the key to ensuring the fairness of the assessment. I will personally supervise the formulation and implementation of the assessment procedures and provide rigorous training to the personnel involved in the assessment to ensure that every step meets His Highness's requirements. Any violations will be dealt with severely without leniency."

Lingyan was at a loss for words to praise him, but continued, "Then, based on the assessment results, officials will be subject to strict rewards, punishments, and promotions. For officials who perform well in the assessment, incentives such as promotion, rewards, and commendations will be given, including priority in promotion and important appointments, increased salaries, and the granting of honorary titles. At the same time, they will be provided with more training and development opportunities to encourage them to continue to make greater contributions to the country and the people."

"Officials who fail the assessment will be demoted, dismissed, warned, or punished according to the specific circumstances. Officials who are seriously derelict in their duties or violate laws and regulations will be held criminally liable in accordance with the law. This strict reward and punishment mechanism can motivate officials to work actively and strive to improve their own qualities and work performance."

"After the assessment, the results should be promptly fed back to the officials, including their scores on each indicator, their strengths and weaknesses, and suggestions and directions for improvement. At the same time, officials should be required to develop personal improvement plans for the problems found in the assessment and their improvement should be tracked and checked regularly."

"Through this feedback and improvement mechanism, officials are helped to recognize their own problems and gaps, continuously improve their own abilities and levels, thereby promoting the overall quality improvement and work improvement of the official team."

"Furthermore, promotion should be closely linked to performance evaluation results. These results can serve as an important basis for promoting officials, establishing a scientific and reasonable promotion mechanism, and clearly stipulating that only officials who perform well in multiple consecutive evaluations are eligible for promotion to higher positions."

"It is clearly stated that every promotion selection and appointment will prioritize officials with outstanding performance in the assessment, ensuring that outstanding talents can be promoted and given important positions in a timely manner. At the same time, officials who are found to have problems or are incompetent in the assessment will be resolutely not promoted."

Upon hearing this, Minister Zhou immediately responded, "Your Highness's plan for the promotion mechanism is clear and well-defined. Based on the assessment results, it can ensure fairness and impartiality in promotion, allowing truly capable and accomplished officials to have the opportunity to be promoted. I will strictly implement this promotion mechanism within the Ministry of Personnel to select and cultivate outstanding officials for the court."

Lingyan nodded and smiled slightly after hearing this.

She deeply understands that a clean, efficient, and fair governance environment is an important guarantee for national development.

That's why she proposed these reforms in detail, hoping to gradually improve the management mechanism of the Ministry of Personnel.

By selecting truly outstanding officials, a solid foundation can be laid for the prosperity of the Great Zhao Kingdom.
