The man on horseback finally came to the Yamen and stopped, causing the people of Lingquan County to take a breath of air.
Except for a few of these people, almost all of them got off the horses at one step, and the people and horses were neatly arranged.
Those who came down irregularly were Zhao Ping and Liang Shanqiu, and the rest were Zhao Ping's personal soldiers.
Zhao Ping is young, so it is good to be able to ride a horse so far.
It was the first time for Liang Shanqiu to ride a horse, and there were probably blisters on both sides of his thighs.
He had to do this because Zhao Ping, who was younger than him and had a higher official position than him, both rode horses.
Also, Jintang County is not too far from Lingquan County, with Chengdu between the two counties.
Both counties are located in the eastern part of Chengdu Prefecture, one is northeast of Chengdu and the other is southeast of Chengdu.
Although they are both counties under Chengdu Prefecture, they are obviously different.
One has become a paradise on earth, and the other is just the opposite.
Although it cannot be called a hell on earth, the backcountry can be considered a hell.
Narrow streets, dilapidated houses, depressed storefronts, indifferent faces.
These are all the evildoers of the Hu people. Chengdu Prefecture has ten houses and nine empty houses, and Lingquan County is almost the same.
If there were no Zhao Ping in Jintang County, Jintang County would truly turn into hell.
Hearing that the chief clerk had come to Lingquan County, the clerks who were about to see Liang Shanqiu's joke were all trembling with fear.
They can bully the new county magistrate, but who is Zhao Ping? He is the murderer of the barbarians.
It is said that nearly 100,000 Hu people died in his hands. Now the Hu people are a little scared when they hear Zhao Ping's name.
If you think that Zhao Ping is only proficient in military affairs, you are absolutely wrong.
It can be said that Jintang County was created by Zhao Ping, and now it has become a paradise on earth that everyone yearns for.
Although the test questions he gave out some time ago were only for examination clerks, many talented people from Sichuan came to take the test.
I heard that the exam was so big that it surpassed the imperial examination, and the imperial court recognized that this was a small provincial examination and gave three Jinshi quotas.
It seems that Zhao Ping is not only the god of death for the Hu people, but also the god of death for the officialdom.
No, he should be called a lucky star in the officialdom. He actually allowed more than 200 petty officials in Jintang County to eat royal food.
Oh, why don’t we in Lingquan County have such good luck?
Now that Zhao Ping, a lucky star in the officialdom, is here, he has to express himself well and see if there is a chance?
Zhao Ping summoned all the petty officials to the yamen square. The petty officials didn't know what Zhao Ping wanted to do.
Zhao Ping held up a tin trumpet and said: "As you all know, Jintang County used to be even more miserable than Lingquan County. It was almost like hell on earth, with less than a thousand residents. Now the population of Jintang County has exceeded 50,000, and it is still increasing."
This is to give them confidence that without comparison there will be no harm and no feeling.
When these clerks heard this, they looked at each other and nodded together.
"But the transformation of Jintang County into a paradise on earth did not come from the sky, but through various efforts." Zhao Ping emphasized that Jintang County was hard-won.
"In order to increase the popularity and wealth of Jintang County, Zhaojiazhuang relocated a large number of workshops from Changyuan County."
"In order to attract people, the security team risked their lives and attracted tens of thousands of people from the Hu people."
"In order to manage Jintang County well, another minor official examination was held."
.......
Hearing this, all the petty officials who wanted to control the new county magistrate were all uneasy.
Jintang County has held the examination for minor officials. Will Lingquan County still hold the examination? If it does, will they still take the examination?
If you don’t take the exam, you will naturally be unemployed; if you take the exam, will you be able to pass it?
Thinking of this, the expressions of all these little officials changed drastically?
Zhao Ping glanced at everyone and took in their expressions.
"You are all old people in Lingquan County. You have to work hard without any merit, so we will not hold the junior official examination for the time being." Zhao Ping decided to calm people's hearts first.
There is a reason for this.
First, Yu Jie and Qin Yulong did not agree with the Lingquan County officials' rectification; second, Zhao Ping did not want to become the target of public criticism like Wang Anshi;
Third, for Lingquan County to boil frogs in warm water, proceed step by step and let Chengdu government accept it in a way of spring breeze and rain.
It is true that strong medicines can treat severe diseases, but the side effects are too great. After all, medicines are only three parts poisonous, and treating diseases is even more harmful to the body.
This is true for treating illnesses, and even more so for officialdom.
The officialdom is far more complex than itself, and people's hearts are the hardest to guess. Someone may deliberately misinterpret your good intentions.
Officialdom is full of competition, and political opponents naturally exist.
The more glamorous and accomplished you are, the more enemies you have.
And your political opponents are like poisonous snakes hiding in dark corners and will bite you hard at critical moments.
Seeing that all the petty officials finally relaxed, Zhao Ping was secretly amused.
He raised his tin trumpet and said: "In the past, you had almost no salary. From now on, you will have a salary, three times a month."
When the officials heard this, they were originally happy, but Sanguan could only maintain the family's basic life, and they suddenly felt that there was a huge gap in their hearts.
"I don't care about the past. From now on, you are not allowed to extort people in any name or by any means." But Zhao Ping's words were still coming.
These petty officials couldn't help but look at each other. The salary they were given could only be considered as barely enough to maintain the minimum expenses of the family. How could they not try to get some benefits?
Zhao Ping didn't know what they were thinking, and said: "Of course, this is just the lowest salary. Lingquan County will also pay a performance salary."
The various petty officials looked at each other and couldn't help but be confused. What is performance-based salary?
"What is performance salary? It is a reward for your performance, such as catching a thief quickly."
When the policeman heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth and laugh.
The clerk's face suddenly changed from sunny to gloomy when he heard this. We can't catch the thief, so where is the performance?
"There are also secretarial offices, etc. to serve the people." Of course Zhao Ping considers these things. If he wants to achieve performance, he must serve the people sincerely.
"If it is well received by the people, such as giving umbrellas to all people, you can get a higher reward." Zhao Ping continued.
The secretary's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment. It would be too difficult for the Ten Thousand People's Umbrella to be held. The entire Lingquan County only had ten thousand people.
"Of course you won't ask for the Ten Thousand People Umbrella, as long as there are more than a hundred people. In fact, there are hundreds of people through your hands every year. This is not too difficult." Zhao Ping's words made the Secretary of the Administrative Bureau heave a sigh of relief.
"In order to make performance appraisal more practical, we have decided to publish your portraits, positions and names in the yamen, so that the people who serve you can openly evaluate you."
Oh my god, isn't this going to kill someone? Fortunately, there is no specific evaluation method.
"Once a positive review is given, one point will be recorded. Once a negative review is given, one point will be deducted. The higher the positive review, the higher the performance; if the negative review is extremely high, the performance will be less or even none." Zhao Ping has absolutely no loopholes for them to exploit.
The clerks and the third class all couldn't help but gasped, this boss was so powerful.
But what is this performance? Class 3, a junior official, couldn't help but think about it.
"Performance will not be lower than your monthly salary, and the rewards will of course be doubled." Only good performance and rewards can win people's hearts.
At this time, all the petty officials couldn't help but blush, and saw the dazzling light in Zhao Ping's eyes.
As expected, the chief bookkeeper is the lucky star of Chengdu Prefecture, not only bringing good luck to Jintang County, but also to Lingquan County.
Gu Haiming couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The Lingquan County government warehouse is so poor that it can run away with rats now. What's the use of Zhao Ping's empty mouth and white teeth?
Of course Zhao Ping knew what they were thinking and said: "Zhaojiazhuang decided to set up a wine shop, tea shop, Xianlu shop, Xiantan shop, Huaxianzi shop, toothbrush shop and toothpaste shop here to build Lingquan County into the next Jintang County. .”
This is the real benefit. The reason why Jintang County and Changyuan County have become paradise on earth is not because of Zhaojiazhuang.
Now, Lingquan County will also become a paradise on earth.
"The Lingquan County government warehouse is not temporarily out of money. Zhaojiazhuang decided to pay a thousand gu in taxes in advance. With this money, Lingquan County will have no problem running for half a year or even a year."
These little officials nodded, feeling a stone finally fall from their hearts.
Gu Haiming was secretly proud, Zhao Ping, Zhao Ping, although you have money, you are giving money away.
He is the invisible magistrate of Lingquan County, and the new magistrate is a nerd who knows nothing about the operation of the government.
According to his ability, this money will fall into his hands sooner or later.
Zhao Ping knew that someone had already made an idea for this amount of money. He said: "This thousand yuan of money will not be given at once, but will be given in batches according to the actual situation."
Zhao Ping's words made some people feel cold, and some officials thought, what about our salaries?
Zhao Ping waved to them and eight people came out, including young and old.
Eight of them were between twenty and thirty, and only one was around fifty.
Zhao Ping introduced to the officials in Lingquan County: "The facts in Jintang County have proved that it is right to establish eight houses including the review house and miscellaneous houses, so Lingquan County will also establish eight houses. This is the eight-house official, and they have seven One is a minor official, and the other is a casual official appointed by the imperial court."
This casual official was Li Zhihao, the original deputy chief of Lijiazhuang. He kept blowing advice from Uncle Zhao Ping and wanted to become the chief registrar.
Although your rank is ninth grade, you are still an official.
Of course, if you really have the ability, you can't be the chief bookkeeper.
Zhao Ping asked Li Zhihao to be the clerk of the miscellaneous room here. This miscellaneous room is the most challenging, takes care of the most things, and can test a person's ability the most.
The petty officials in Lingquan County couldn't help crying. They originally thought that the pian was the one they selected, but they didn't expect that it was Zhao Ping who went directly to Jintang County to arrange the manpower.
But these people either passed the minor official examination or were casual officials appointed by the court, leaving them speechless.
Master, you arranged for these people to become classics, what should we do?
Zhao Ping looked at everyone and took in their reactions.
"They are from Jintang County now, and they are only temporarily here to help Lingquan County. If Lingquan County has more outstanding talents in the future, they will gradually leave." They want to give them the truth and hope for their promotion.
People are most afraid of having no hope. Without hope, things are most likely to go wrong.
"Their salaries are not given by Lingquan County, but by Jintang County, because they are from Jintang County." Zhao Ping's words made these small officials feel relieved. It seems that these classics are indeed here temporarily. .
Zhao Ping looked at these minor officials coldly and continued: "As for you, although you can receive your salary, it is not official now, it is only temporary?"
