Today's Wei Dynasty is not very peaceful.
Zheng Chong, Du Yu and others added several new laws targeting officials.
This won’t take long at all. After all, this is not a re-revision of the law, it’s just the addition of a few regulations. In the Qin State, if you don’t add more regulations within ten days, you will be charged with slacking off and have your hands chopped off!
The new decree has been sent to various places by Yushitai to request its implementation.
Wang Chang's seven-point political strategy has now become the main task of the entire Wei temple.
This matter of restricting officials by law is nominally done. As for whether the officials will comply, it depends on the ability of the governors in various places.
Thanks to Sima Shi, the governors in various places are pretty good. They are all talents carefully selected by Sima Shi. After Cao Mao fully inspected them, he made a series of arrangements.
Let Hua Biao's son Hua Biao succeed Deng Ai as the governor of Yanzhou, let Ren Kai succeed Wang Ji as the governor of Jingzhou, let the former Hongnong governor Fu Xuan replace Wen Qin as the governor of Yangzhou, and Zhou Tai will continue to be his governor of Yuzhou.
Wang Rong's father Wang Hun continued to serve as the governor of Liangzhou, Zhuge Xulai, the former prefect of Taishan, served as the governor of Yongzhou, and Hu Wei, the prefect of Anfeng, the son of Hu Zhi, the general who conquered the east, served as the governor of Xuzhou.
Pei Kai's father Pei Hui continued to serve as the governor of Jizhou. Shi Li Xi, the right commander of the former general Sima Division, succeeded Sun Yu as the governor of Qingzhou. Shi Jian continued to serve as the governor of Bingzhou, and the prefect He Zhen served as the governor of Youzhou.
Wang Jing continued to serve as Sili Xiaowei.
Most of the people arranged by Cao Mao were Sima Shi's cronies. Unknown to them, they thought that the general had come back to life and started arranging his cronies again.
Among them, there are those who come from rich families, but their personal moral character is trustworthy, there are those who are born in poverty, there are those who are honest, there are those who are upright, and finally, there are those who are famous and can appease one party.
Anyway, in the position of governor, there are no such mediocre or crazy people anymore, and the quality is still very good.
As for the position of the prefect, well, it's really hard to say.
Anyway, it is the governor's job to supervise local areas. There is a good governor in every place, which should be able to slightly revitalize the local situation.
After reading the decree to everyone, the temple began to carry out the rest of Wang Chang's strategy.
The terms of office of officials should be extended and promotion and removal should be carried out through strict assessment of political performance.
This matter was mainly handled by Zhong Hui, who summed up a promotion, appointment and removal system for local officials.
Zhong Hui absorbed the promotion methods of Qin and the previous Han Dynasty and established a comparative assessment method. This method existed in the pre-Qin period. The founder was probably Shang Yang. Under this assessment method, regions at the same level are in a competitive relationship.
Just like Malong's training in the army, several counties within Yanzhou will check each other's achievements in farmland, household registration, public security, finance, road maintenance, etc. at the end of the year, and then compare and compete, and the top one will When county officials are promoted, those at the bottom will be dismissed or punished.
The same is true within the county. Many counties are compared, and the top county officials are promoted. The county is compared with the townships, and the townships are compared with several states.
Zhong Hui believes that political performance should be judged by comparison. How much progress they have made every year can be seen by comparing them with those in the same region.
In the absence of a better performance evaluation method for the time being, Zhong Hui's method can be used instead to kick out those idiots.
The ministers continued their rectification work in various places. The officials in the places that had been inspected and punished could not be said to have suddenly become better, but at least they did not dare to be as unrestrained as before on the surface.
Rare outstanding talents were discovered, and Cao Mao appointed these people to serve as governors in various places, focusing on them.
As for schools, imperial examinations and other matters, they have not yet been carried out.
Mainly because today's Wei Dynasty is a bit too chaotic, officials are transferred too frequently, especially at the local level, it is simply a mess.
Because of Cao Mao's many actions after taking office, a large number of officials resigned. They believed that the emperor did not respect the scholars enough and used cruel methods to deal with them. Perhaps they were afraid of being found out. Anyway, there were many vacancies in the local area. , officials in many places are still in a state of handover.
The staff at Shangshutai almost exploded.
Zheng Miao was the busiest person during this period. The emperor dismissed local officials, and the dismissal was very comfortable, but it was a pain for him, a person who had to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.
Various transfer orders made Zheng Mian memorize the transfer list of local officials every time he dreamed.
Cao Mao was unwilling to delay in doing things. When issuing political orders, he always used military channels, that is, urgent orders. This could ensure that the emperor's orders would be known to the local area quickly, but it was a bit useless.
The entire local officialdom of the Wei Dynasty was in chaos, and many government affairs were affected. It seemed that the Wei Dynasty had come to a standstill.
In this regard, Shangshutai expressed great concern.
It’s autumn harvest now! !
"Your Majesty, today's autumn harvest is really not suitable for such a large-scale official transfer. Zhong Jun's new methods and Zheng Gong's new laws have forced many officials to resign. More and more people are resigning. After the autumn harvest, At that time, there was no chief official to take charge, and the temple’s decrees could not be implemented locally.”
Cui Zan stood in front of Cao Mao, looking quite anxious.
Cui Zan felt that the emperor was too anxious.
Many governors were arranged in succession, which was actually acceptable, but they attacked officials one after another.
Local officials were frightened and angry, and a large number of people abandoned their posts and left.
This was actually a direct manifestation of local officials' dissatisfaction with the emperor.
The last time something like this happened was when the party was in prison.
Cui Zan has been thinking of ways to avoid this situation.

Cao Mao looked quite calm, and Cui Zan's words did not shake his determination.
He knew what was happening in the local area. Zheng Yu would inform him of the vacancies in various places every day, but Cao Mao was indifferent to this.
Rather than being forced to find a group of officials who only know how to harm the people to continue to govern the place, it would be better to let them all get out.
Delay this year's autumn harvest and winter prevention?
Then let’s delay it for once!
They always have excuses. After surviving the autumn, it is to prevent winter. After surviving the winter, it is spring planting. After surviving the spring, there are also busy farming and the like. Cao Mao would rather endure the pain of labor than to put it aside. These dogs should be taken away.
Cui Zan continued: "Your Majesty, no matter what, you should not delay the autumn harvest. Even if you want to be transferred, you should wait until the end of the year to make things urgent."
"It's already a very gentle approach. I haven't dismissed everyone. Even if they have made mistakes, I have only punished and urged them. I haven't dismissed them all. This is already a very gentle approach."
Cao Mao interrupted Cui Zan directly.
He said coldly: "If it is because of urgency, at least half of the officials in the world will die."
Cui Zan's back instantly felt cold, and his words were stuck in his throat.
"Why, Mr. Cui still thinks that I am too eager to do things?"
"They were unwilling to serve as officials. I did not execute them for disobedience. This was already very tolerant. At the time, officials in the Later Han Dynasty also abandoned their positions for some celebrities. I remember that the emperor at that time ordered them to be arrested. , tortured to death.”
"I am already so benevolent and righteous, what else do you want to persuade me to do?"
"Do you want me to beg them to become officials?"
Cui Zan couldn't answer. He said bitterly: "Your Majesty, I understand what you are saying, but this autumn harvest is the most important time of the year. Nowadays, political affairs everywhere are in chaos. This year's autumn harvest is probably going to be a disaster." It’s a big deal.”
Cao Mao didn't care, "There are local governors, four towns and four expeditions. If some county magistrates and prefects leave their posts, can it prevent a good harvest in autumn?! These officials overestimate themselves. It is true that scheduling needs Officials come and nod, but even if a few leaders leave, there will always be someone left who can take care of things in his place!”
"These officials who don't know how to distinguish between grains and know nothing but taking powder and drinking wine, if they leave, maybe this year's harvest will be even more abundant! Do they have to do things that just need nodding and sealing?!"
From the emperor's words, Cui Zan felt the extreme contempt for the officials.
But Cui Zan didn't dare to refute.
He already understood that His Majesty was determined to rectify the local officials, even at the cost of a bad autumn harvest, he had to get rid of the officials.
Cui Zan didn't understand this.
Cao Mao was not the only emperor who was dissatisfied with the officials. During Cao Pi's period, he rectified local officials many times, and Cao Rui even directly attacked the courtiers. Even in the previous year, Sima Shi followed Deng Ai's instructions to rectify the incompetent places. officials.
But none of them are as crazy as the current emperor.
Cao Mao's decree seemed really crazy to Cui Zan.
Which emperor reorganized the officials like this? This was to clean up the entire world. At the beginning, Sima Shi just ordered the governors to remove a few people who went too far as a warning to other officials to restrain themselves. .
The risks involved in doing something like His Majesty's are really frightening.
Just as Cui Zan was trying to persuade him, Zhang Hua rushed in eagerly.
"His Majesty."
"What's wrong?"
"Pingchang County Governor Zang Ai attacked the convoy of the ministers and started a rebellion!"
"What?!"
Cui Zan jumped up angrily, his eyes full of astonishment, but Cao Mao looked calm, as if he had expected it, "What flag did he put out?"
"He said that he wanted to welcome back the King of Qi and help the Wei family. He said that His Majesty was improperly appointed to the throne, practiced tyranny, and killed meritorious officials indiscriminately."
Zhang Hua calmly said something that could kill the three clans.
Cao Mao laughed.
"I remember this Zang Ai. He is Zang Ba's son, right? The one who gave money and real estate to Deng Yang every day in order to become an official. In the end, he even gave his father's concubines to Deng Yang. Isn't he the same person?"
Zhang Hua nodded, with deep disdain in his eyes, "It's this person."
"Then a few days ago, the officials came up and said that this is the person who is most suitable to be the governor of Qingzhou, right?"
Zhang Hua nodded, "That's exactly the person."
"It's really eye-opening for me that a person like this who relied on sending his father's concubines to become an official could work all the way to the position of county governor in the Wei Dynasty, and even be nominated as governor."
"Quickly arrest Zang Ai's tribesmen and behead them. In addition, find out the contents of the previous list and arrest and behead those who recommended Zang Ai as the governor of Qingzhou."
"only!!!"
