Jian Yi felt a little numb.
He is an official of the imperial court!
Why is it in your mouth, just like the cabbage in the market?
They were traded like cabbages and sold to overseas vassals!
Have you asked others for their opinions?
"Your Majesty, how... is this unbecoming?"
Jian Yi rubbed his neck and reminded him.
The emperor bought and sold officials without making people laugh out loud!
"Well, how decent is that?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled.
"Then you, Jian Yi, told me that they threatened to resign collectively and forced me to stop implementing the New Deal. Is this appropriate?"
"Jian Yi, after all, you are a veteran of many dynasties, so don't play tricks on me here!"
"Since they are unkind, then I can naturally be unjust!"
Seeing Jian Yi's face looking very ugly, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but soften his tone.
"Okay, don't worry too much."
"After all, they are talented officials who have been selected from the imperial examination. Can't you, the Minister of Personnel, have more confidence in them?"
"Furthermore, a large number of officials have collectively resigned this time. After I remove them from office, remove their titles, and expel them from the Ming Dynasty, the other officials will also take a lesson from them, abide by the law honestly, and will not dare to openly violate the law again!"
Even though he said this, Jian Yi still felt very unhappy.
After all, once the advanced version of the new law is implemented, the life of officials will be even more difficult!
"Your first task now, Jian Yi, is not to consider these dismissed officials, but to think about the advanced version of the examination law."
Zhu Gaoxu has always been very tolerant of Jian Yi, a wise and capable minister.
If it had been anyone else, he would have kicked her away to Java!
When it came to business, Jian Yi also calmed down.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what specific aspects does this advanced version of the examination involve? Are there any regulations?"
The assessment, appointment and removal of officials is itself the work of the Ministry of Personnel.
Now that Emperor Wude has come up with an advanced version of the examination method, Jian Yi is naturally very interested in it.
"The assessment content of officials in Beijing is mainly the completion of their duties, such as those stipulated in the old version of the examination law. Monthly regulations and tasks are recorded, and the completion status is randomly checked every month. If anyone is slacking in administration, he will be dismissed from office directly. Resign from office and be expelled from the court."
"The new law is mainly aimed at local officials. Their assessment content is much more, such as food, population, number of students, employment rate, unemployment rate, etc. Any content that can reflect local culture and governance can be included in the assessment scope. !”
"After you, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, return home, follow what I have said and draw up a charter as soon as possible. After showing it to me for review, you can hand it over to the Department of General Affairs for distribution throughout the world and formally incorporate it into the standards for the evaluation of officials by the Ministry of Personnel."
After hearing this, Jian Yi finally understood.
This so-called advanced version of the examination method is actually aimed at local officials.
After the previous law was implemented, the officials in Beijing did a good job in implementing it. After all, they did not dare to test the law under the emperor's nose!
But for local officials, the binding law is not so binding.
Because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the roads are inconvenient, even if the Metropolitan Procuratorate wants to do random inspections, it will take several months or even a year to go back and forth. How can there be so much free time to randomly check the completion of tasks of local officials? !
Therefore, the assessment of local officials is still in the hands of the Ministry of Personnel and implemented according to the old methods.
As long as local officials do not make serious mistakes, the officials will not criticize them too harshly and will just turn a blind eye.
However, His Majesty the Emperor was obviously dissatisfied with this, so he proposed an advanced version of this examination method, specifically for local officials!
Once all local cultural governance is included in the assessment, local officials will suffer a lot!
Jian Yi thought about it and finally asked: "Your Majesty, if this happens, not only will the workload of the staff be greatly increased, but even the local officials will be extremely busy!"
"Just go and recruit people when there is no one around. I offer such a generous salary package. Are we still afraid that we won't be able to recruit people who want to be officials?"
Zhu Gaoxu sneered and said: "There are many capable officials in the world. If you want to ask the imperial court to serve you, you don't have to worry about the shortage of manpower!"
"In addition, I am also planning to set up seven subordinate agencies in various provinces to expand the scale and influence of the central court and prevent local officials from exercising arbitrary power and deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the subordinates!"
As soon as these words came out, Jian Yi's eyes suddenly widened.
Oh my God, what is he trying to do?
If subordinate agencies are also established at the local level, the number of officials in the entire court will skyrocket to a terrifying level!
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"By setting up officials in this way, the number of local officials will increase significantly, which will bring a heavy burden to the court. Please think twice, the emperor."
"Well, I understand where you are worried." Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "It's just an idea at the moment."
"I plan to first set up an independent three-law department at the local level, include the Inspectorate and Envoys Department, and establish a specialized supervisory department that will not be under the jurisdiction of administrative departments such as the Chief Secretary."
"The supervisory department will be managed vertically by the Three Laws Division. The Criminal Department is responsible for investigating and arresting cases. Dali Temple is responsible for trial and conviction. The Metropolitan Procuratorate will review whether there is any fraud. In addition, my Jinyiwei will also be responsible for supervising all illegal activities, including those who know the law and commit crimes in the Three Laws Division. etc."
"The assessment of local officials will also be included in it. The main work is still the responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the opinions of the three local departments must also be adopted and considered. Once I find out that there is collusion and mutual cover-up among the officials, then I will I need to ask you, Jian Yi, the official minister!"
Jian Yi's face changed wildly after hearing this, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Local three divisions!
Advanced version of the exam method!
Inspection departments targeting local officials!
I see!
His Majesty the Emperor is not trying to implement an advanced version of the entrance examination method. This is clearly putting a knife on the head of the local gentry!
Nowadays, the imperial court is vigorously promoting the new policy of dividing people into acres, and the central gentry has beaten them when they should, and dismissed them from office. There is no resistance anymore.
But the local gentry officials were different. They had not realized the seriousness of the matter and were still jumping up and down.
For example, hundreds of officials resigned collectively this time in an attempt to force the emperor to compromise. This is the best proof!
Not only did the emperor have no intention of compromising, but he directly resorted to killing him!
After passing the advanced version of the law, coupled with the establishment of the three local departments, how can local gentry officials still jump up?
If they dare to show their faces, the Third Local Bureau will immediately put them under investigation. If the Third Local Bureau also chooses to protect them, then the emperor will still have Jin Yiwei!
If you wait until Jin Yiwei comes to your door, it will not be as simple as just one or two people!
Emperor Takeru's counterattack is not only ruthless, but also deadly!
In order to implement the New Deal, he really dared to make enemies of the gentry all over the world!
When he thought of this, Jian Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty is wise, I understand."
"Well, as long as Aiqing understands, we can draw up a charter as soon as possible!"
