Seeing Ma Qi and the twelfth elder brother coming over, the ninth elder brother hurriedly got up.
"Nine Masters..." Although Ma Qi is a bachelor, he acts very respectfully. When he was in front of the emperor, Brother Jiu didn't avoid it. Now that there was no one else around, he immediately avoided it.
"Why are you here?" Brother Jiu hurriedly returned the gift with some questions. Ma Qi glanced at the twelfth elder brother and said, "I want to come here and listen to what Master Jiu said about adding new ministers and ministers." Brother Ninth asked Ma Qi to sit down and served tea. I asked my twelfth brother to sit down with me.
It was an excuse that he came up with temporarily this morning, but while Brother Twelve was out, he also thought about it.
Now that Ma Qi asked, he said: "It is still because of the accounting department's "nest". Although the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also floating officials, they actually have the intention of being worldly officials, which can easily lead to disadvantages. The total of these yamen Thousands of people cannot be kept track of by just a few imperial censors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is very easy for each department to encircle territory. I thought of the previous prince’s supervision of the ministry..."
"In this way, the minister in charge of the court and the minister on duty will keep an eye on it, and then it will be better to directly hold the individual accountable..."
"Even if there are old accumulations, don't be afraid. If you find out who was in charge that year, you can still find the person who made the oversight..."
"It is also to prevent the Imperial Household Office's elite families from getting connected. I checked the old archives of the Household Office. Every time I was inspected in Beijing, officials from the House of Representatives were rarely dismissed. It's just that the evaluation of the chief officers is just a lake. Favors are connected with favors. , most of them are superficial, turning the Ministry of Internal Affairs into a stagnant pool of water..."
"Introducing the ministers of the Academy of Management and the ministers of the year. From now on, the Beijing inspection and evaluation will not be the ministers of each department. Maybe they will be more impartial..." Ma Qi looked at the ninth elder brother's confident appearance and was surprised in his heart, but it was not shown on his face.
It's very commendable that I mentioned this for no other reason than because of the corrupt young man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Ma Qi pondered: "The manpower of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been customized for a long time. If the minister of management is added, this expense..." Brother Jiu said in surprise: "Isn't there regulations in the imperial court? The concurrent appointment of officials shall be based on the highest grade. , just like a teacher, he only gets the salary of a bachelor, but the hard work of the minister of management will not be in vain, there is still an annual ice supplement and carbon supplement..." The Ministry of Internal Affairs is different from other yamen.
In the six yamen of the former dynasty, some local governors came to Beijing to send
"Bing Jing",
"Tanjing", the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not involve the outer court and the local government. Even if the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside send their families back to Beijing, they still go to the general office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and do not need to go to the Yamen to get another one.
Therefore, Ninth Brother thinks that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can pay for this by itself, and there is not much in total. If you open more sources, you can have everything.
Ma Qi glanced at Brother Jiu. Everyone knows that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is rich, and if there is a subsidy, it will definitely not be much less than the regular salary.
This is good, otherwise, the concurrent job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be a favor to the officials, but a punishment.
Now Brother Ninth is running the Ministry of Internal Affairs very well. The more he does this, the more he has to guard against criticism. Ma Qi nodded and said, "Master Jiu has thought carefully, but I'm just not in a hurry to write the book. Master Jiu can think it over first and wait for the servant to ask for permission before talking about anything else." After hearing this, Brother Jiu immediately nodded and said, "Then Excuse me, teacher, I'm just waiting for news from you." Ma Qi couldn't help but glance at Brother Twelve again.
The twelfth elder brother sat under the ninth elder brother and acted like a silent gourd. The ninth elder brother noticed that Ma Qi was looking at the twelfth elder brother and said hurriedly: "I was just about to tell the teacher. Since I studied "Book of Rites" with the teacher, I discovered my shortcomings and made great progress. They were all carefully taught by the teacher. Because, the twelfth elder brother is diligent in running errands and is more promising than I was in previous years. However, he is slow to speak, which also makes people worry. You can’t just sit in a room with official documents and ignore people. You have to learn to deal with people. In this situation Next, what homework should I make up for?" Ma Qi glanced at Brother Jiu, did he get the news?
Brother Ninth Brother has made great progress in the past two years, but what does it have to do with the "Book of Rites"? I left my homework, but did Brother Jiu do it?
I don’t know who I asked to copy the books and write the articles. It’s just you trying to trick me, and I’m trying to trick you. Brother Jiu also looked back at Ma Qi, looking like a good brother.
The twelfth elder brother still said nothing, but his face turned a little red. He doesn’t want to make up any homework! Ma Qi saw that Brother Jiu had no other intentions, he just meant it literally, and thought of Kangxi's words.
The emperor has spoken twice, asking him to teach the twelfth elder brother. It would not be good if he really turned a blind eye to the twelfth elder brother.
Ma Qi pondered for a moment and said: "The Ninth Master is friendly to his brothers and sisters, and it is a good intention to take the Twelfth Master under his wings. However, the Twelveth Brother is already a man, and he can also experience it alone. This understanding of human relationships is not in books, but should be experienced in person. Let's meet more people first..." After hearing this, Brother Ninth said, "Teacher, when the matter of adding an additional minister to the Academy is completed, let Brother Twelve try to take charge of one of his own." Before, he also Asking the twelfth brother to take turns in the following departments is just a formality, the time is short, and the effect is not great. It is different to be responsible for one department.
When the time comes, you have to deal with people even if you don’t want to deal with them. The twelfth elder brother was standing by and glanced at the ninth elder brother, feeling that he had learned something again.
very eloquent. I never expected that it would be such a ninth brother! Ma Qi was also pleased that the ninth elder brother was so humble. He looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Nineth elder brother can make the decision himself." He did not stay in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for too long. After asking the reason, he went back to the cabinet.
Ma Qi's visit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not attract anyone's attention. After all, he still had the title of Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it was strange that he never showed up.
When Ma Qi left, the twelfth elder brother couldn't help it and said to the ninth elder brother: "Ninth elder brother, I don't want to be the minister of the hospital..." The ninth elder brother rolled his eyes at him and said: "Are you stupid? If you don't have a serious errand, how can you count your salary?" The twelfth elder brother is currently working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he is a student of errand, and he has no salary.
The twelfth elder brother was a little confused, and after a while he said: "Then the minister in charge of the academy is not also in charge? There is no quota, how to determine the grade?" The ninth elder brother thought for a while and said: "If there was no grade before, then it will be classified as the fourth grade. Come on, he is higher than the doctor of the Siyuan, and lower than the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." The doctor is the fifth grade, and the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the third grade.
The twelfth prince was hesitant. The fourth-grade salary is one hundred and five taels of silver, plus one hundred and five hu of rice.
If you don’t want rice, it’s fifty-two taels or five cents in silver. This adds up to one hundred and fifty-seven taels.
The twelfth prince is a frugal person, so this is the prince's monthly payment for three months. He had no salary before, and it was all supplemented by Ninth Brother.
Although he is calm, if he is getting married next year, will Brother Ninth still need to support Fujin? The twelfth elder brother's eyelids drooped and he said nothing more.
Seeing his reluctance, Brother Jiu was speechless and said: "Not only is it the salary, but also various subsidies? Not to mention other things, it only lasts three years and two years, and how much older does it take for a minister to come down all year round? A hundred taels of silver is no problem..." After hearing this, the twelfth elder brother looked up at the ninth elder brother, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.
Brother Ninth asked, "What's the matter?" Brother Twelve said, "Then... what about Brother Ninth's share? Will they still pay for it?" If they pay double portions of filial piety, it is forcing people to be greedy.
But if there is only one portion in total, it is not equivalent to taking money out of Brother Jiu's pocket. The ninth elder brother said: "I don't care about them, why do they still respect me? The rules of officialdom are based on rank. When the time comes, I will just wait for your three festivals and two birthdays..." After hearing this, the twelfth elder brother relaxed. Take a breath.
That's right, even if he is defeated by him at that time... Although Ma Qi came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and did not attract anyone's attention, Ma Qi knew it in his heart, and the emperor appointed him to have the news.
When Ma Qi came to see him in the afternoon, after discussing the government affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he took the initiative to mention the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"When the news from the Accounting Department came out, people were not only panicked, but also in chaos for a while. It just so happened that the assessment period for this batch of commissioned officials was coming. Master Jiu was afraid that the old thing would happen again, so he thought of setting up a human management hospital modeled on the ministry. Listen, slave, maybe You can give it a try." Ma Qi said the message from the morning and then expressed his own opinion.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes after hearing this. Like Ma Qi, he thinks a lot.
"But someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is disobedient, or someone outside is saying something about Brother Jiu?" Ma Qi shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this, but I am thinking that if Master Jiu is really wronged, he should come directly to Qianqing Palace today to ask for help. The emperor makes the decision, instead of sending Master Twelve to deliver messages to his slaves." Kangxi thought about it.
His expression softened a little, thinking about Brother Ninth's words. He also found that the Censor's Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was of little use, and the impeachments were focused on trivial matters, or on a few general managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The words of the minister in charge of the academy, which involve evaluation and future, and have little to do with wrapping up, can really shock people.
But in that case, this candidate must be chosen carefully. Otherwise, it will be like a court official colluding with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it will be easy to cause trouble.
Kangxi did not answer immediately, but only said: "I will think about it again and discuss this matter when I come back from the mausoleum." Ma Qi agreed and left.
Kangxi began to wonder about Jiu Age's intentions. After all the powerful yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are equipped with ministers in charge of the court and ministers on duty, the main yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are left with the selection of officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Has Brother Ninth been involved in the selection of officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past two years? It seems that he really intervened and asked people to recheck the candidates' relatives.
Those who are capable and qualified will be selected as usual; those who are based only on connections will be rejected. Kangxi couldn't help but shake his head. He understood the intention of Brother Jiu and complained to Liang Jiugong: "I thought he was wronged for doing this without thinking. But it turned out that the bastard was just trying to avoid being lazy. This minister of management Suppose, he is looking for an opportunity to be lazy. He can't just ask for leave and not be on duty..." Liang Jiugong said: "Perhaps Master Jiu feels sorry for Master Twelve, so he thought of this. Otherwise, like before, Master Jiu is not in Beijing. The Twelfth Master is keeping an eye on the Ministry of Internal Affairs alone. I heard that it is very hard to get up early and work late..." Kangxi hummed softly: "Don't put gold on his face. If I were not in the palace as usual, he would have been lazy. This time he was being honest, and it was also because he had just written the confession and had been thinking about it for a few days. He was probably tired of being impeached, and was afraid that the imperial censor would still stare at him next time, so he thought of draining the firepower and handing over all the errands. It's justifiable to be lazy..." *The title of reader in the book club circle has been added, forty, and interested book friends can post with the pinned sister Xiaoba in July.
