"It's only a matter of time before the subordinate staff become replaceable, and they will become frightened. To expand the recruitment of subordinate staff, at least two people will be added to each of the three classes and six rooms for half a month. If they pass the performance appraisal, they can stay. "
"When the newly recruited subordinates are familiar with their duties, they can set up supervision and formulate strict punishments. This will be supplemented by increasing their salaries and adding performance appraisal rewards. Pay equal attention to kindness and power!"
Chang Zhixian said that he was excited, walked to the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.
After downing a cup of herbal tea, he said with a smile on his face: "At that time, these subordinate officials just want to cause trouble, but they have no capital. They will leave or leave at the discretion of me. The hereditary system will exist in name only!"
These were not things he came up with on the spur of the moment and slapped his forehead.
But he had already started thinking about it when he took office in Golden State many years ago.
Unfortunately, ideas are just ideas.
Putting aside everything else, it is impossible to achieve just one thing: improving the salary and remuneration of subordinate staff.
It’s still the same problem, the court has no money!
Bang bang bang!
With a smile on his face, Han Zhen clapped and said, "Ginger is still as cool as ever, I admire you."
Chang Zhixian felt extremely comfortable at the moment, and he could finally speak out the words that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.
Putting down the tea cup, he said with a complex expression: "Actually, there is still one omission. If it can be filled in, the problem of subordinate officials can be completely eliminated."
"What's missing?"
Han Zhen asked curiously.
"Promotion!"
Changzhi County uttered these two words loudly.
Being a subordinate official is a status and a shackle at the same time.
Once you are an official, you will always be an official, and you will never get ahead. The same is true for future generations.
He was not allowed to take the imperial examination or engage in business, and his upward path was blocked from the beginning.
No matter how talented you are, you will still be a subordinate until you die.
If you stand up to the sky, you can become a ninth-grade military attache or county captain!
This is why, when Changzhi County recommended Liu Yong as county captain, Liu Yong would burst into tears and express his gratitude.
Just because, no matter how low-ranking the county captain is, no matter how embarrassing his position is, he is still an official from the ninth rank!
Han Zhen pondered for a moment and found that this was indeed the case.
Once the upward channel is opened, the hereditary system of subordinate officials will be destroyed, and at the same time, it will also allow the subordinate officials to change their lax attitude.
In short, do you want to be an official?
Then roll it up!
However, it is easy to say that it is easy to open the upward path for subordinate officials, but it was not feasible at all in the Northern Song Dynasty.
First, scholars all over the world will object.
Han Chuang studied hard for ten years and finally became an official in the same court as a subordinate. How would he feel in his heart?
Second, the problem of redundant officials in the Northern Song Dynasty was too serious.
In short, there are too many scholars and too few official positions.
New scholars have to work hard for three to five years to make up for their shortcomings. In which round will they get subordinates?
Since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, no one has been smarter than Changzhi County. Could you not have thought of this?
No.
There certainly are, and there are quite a few.
But no courtier ever mentioned it, because the butt determines the head.
As a literati, it is impossible for subordinate officials to compete with them for their jobs.
It is under this current situation that Changzhi County dares to speak freely and unscrupulously. If it were normal times, he would definitely be drowned in saliva by the scholars.
Han Zhen looked at Changzhi County in surprise and felt happy.
Changzhi County is applying for a certificate!
Because once this matter gets out, his end will probably be extremely miserable.
Scholar-officials in the Northern Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-officials, but when did literati kill people with swords?
Think about Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing, and then think about Pan Mei... there are countless such examples.
Thinking of this, Han Zhen cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said seriously: "Then I'll leave it to Changzhi County."
Now that he has occupied the county seat, there are still many things waiting for him to do. With Changzhi County's cooperation and help, he can help him share a lot of pressure.
“Let’s look at the county’s methods.”
After dusting off his court clothes, Chang Zhixian was in high spirits, strode out of the book hall with his hands behind his back.
Not to mention, officials are indeed dignified in their manners.
I saw Chang Zhixian's body as tall and straight as a pine, taking official steps in all directions. While walking, his upper body did not move and his shoulders remained steady.
Looking at it, there is a powerful force coming towards you.
…
…
Two war horses, one behind the other, ran wildly along the official road.
The corners of the war horse's mouth were foaming, and it had obviously been running for a long time.
Behind one of them, there was an injured person tied up with a belt.
These three people were the Montenegrin bandits who had a lucky escape.
At this moment, Sun Zhi's eyes were closed tightly and his face was pale. As the horse jolted, small lines of blood continued to flow from his mouth and nose.
Even so, the two bandits on horseback still did not dare to slow down and just kept whipping them with their riding whips.
After running wildly for two hours, a familiar mountain finally appeared in front of me.
When they arrived at the gate of the cottage, the two bandits finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As they turned over and dismounted, the two horses finally couldn't hold on anymore and immediately fell to the ground, twitching continuously.
Glancing at the war horses, one of the bald bandits looked regretful. Even if the two horses were lucky enough to survive, they were already dead.
Even Jingdong Ma, who is known for his endurance, couldn't hold on after running wildly for two hours.
"Jingzhe!"
A loud shout came from the wall of the village.
Hearing that these tough guys were still exchanging signals, the bald man became angry and said angrily: "I'm going to scare your mother, the third master is injured, why don't you get down and help."
"oh oh!"
The bandits on the wall nodded repeatedly.
As the village gate opened, a group of bandits immediately poured out, hurriedly took Sun Zhi and placed him on a stretcher.
In the Juyi Hall.
King Li Tian was still sitting in the top spot, but there was an extra seat beside him.
A woman with a cold face wearing a katana warrior uniform was sitting there quietly, with a slaying sword across her leg.
Two bandits are standing below. You and I will report truthfully.
When the report was over, everyone turned their attention to the first person.
I don't know whether he is looking at King Li Tianwang or the woman behind him.
The woman was not speaking. King Li Tianwang stared straight at the two people below with his big copper bell-like eyes, and slowly said: "Are you sure it's the Western Army?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became solemn.
Western Army!
Although the two conquests of Liao Dynasty failed last year, no one dared to underestimate the combat power of the Western Army.
Being able to fight with the Xixia people on Qinfeng Road shows their strength.
Although it is not possible to fight externally, when it comes to suppressing rebellions internally, the Western Army is like a divine general.
Fangla in the south was invincible and captured fifty-two counties in six states in a short period of time. The officers and soldiers fled after hearing this and did not dare to fight with him.
However, after the arrival of the Western Army, it took only a few months to successfully suppress the rebellion.
The two of them were so frightened by the sight that they couldn't help but lower their heads.
The bald bandit stumbled and replied: "Your Majesty, I... I'm not sure. I just saw that they have tattoos on their faces, are proficient in horsemanship, and have amazing combat power, so I guess they are the Western Army."
At this moment, Mr. Yin asked aloud: "How many people are there?"
The bald man did not dare to hide anything and answered truthfully: "I only saw nineteen cavalry. The county was in chaos at that time. I only heard shouts of killing coming from other directions. I don't know how many there were specifically."
Hearing this, the woman frowned slightly: "With only nineteen people, you defeated the rest?"
Hearing the chill in her tone, another bandit trembled and hurriedly explained: "Master, it's not that we are afraid of fighting, but that the other party is too brave. The leader, such as Lu Fengxian, was reincarnated and threw the The armor-piercing sword is as powerful as a ballista. The third master is not a general in front of it, and he was knocked away with just one blow."
Recalling the scene of the battle with them last night, the two bandits were still frightened.
Before the woman could speak, the strong man sitting in the fourth position angrily yelled: "What the hell are you treating us like three-year-olds? Are you deliberately making up stories to deceive us and get rid of your guilt?" ? This is how Third Brother teaches you on weekdays?"
This person is the fourth head of Heishan Village, and he usually doesn't deal with Sun Zhi.
Now that Sun Zhi was frustrated, he naturally refused to let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury.
The bandit was also anxious. He raised three fingers and said loudly: "Fourth Leader, if Wei Sandao tells a lie, I will be struck by thunder and die!"
In this era, swearing to God has a very high value, and no one dares to joke about it.
For a moment, the fourth leader was a little worried.
"The Fourth Master said this wrongly."
Mr. Yin glanced at the Fourth Master meaningfully, then came out to smooth things over and said: "Throughout the past and present, monsters are born every hundred years, which is not a strange thing. Let's not talk about it far away, let's talk about the fierce general Li Cunxiao of the Jin army. He is born with supernatural power. It is said that when he was thirteen years old, he had the courage to fight a tiger to save his father, and when he became an adult, he had the strength of five horses."
Lu Fengxian reincarnates?
The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and held the sword tightly with both hands, looking eager to try.
"snort!"
The Fourth Master snorted and said nothing.
King Li Tianwang, who was sitting upright, spoke, and a voice like a bell sounded in the lobby: "Okay, don't argue about these small things. The Western Army is the focus right now. Mr. Yin, is it possible that Chang Yukun Obtained the ledger and reported it to the state capital to attract the Western Army?"
"Absolutely impossible, the time is not right. Such a major event as the recruitment of the Western Army must be approved by Emperor Zhao. From the discovery of the account books, to reporting to the state government, and then to the Kaifeng Prefecture for approval and decree, until the Western Army is deployed to Qingzhou, this It will take at least a month to come and go.”
Mr. Yin shook his head, and then analyzed: "In addition, the spies in the counties and towns scattered around the village did not receive any news of the army's deployment. Therefore, the group of Western troops encountered by the third master and his family were most likely to be A small band of deserters.”
King Li Tianwang looked puzzled: "Since he is a deserter, why did he rush to help the county?"
Mr. Yin speculated: "It should be Han Er, but whether this is the case, we have to wait until the third master wakes up to know."
"Why bother guessing here? I will take five hundred people to Linzi County in person. Everything will be known then."
The woman stood up suddenly, her tone unquestionable.
"Report! A letter from the fifth master."
Suddenly, a shout sounded outside the door.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
King Li Tian shouted: "Send it up quickly."
Soon, a bandit trotted into the lobby holding an envelope in both hands.
Li Tianwang took the letter and did not open it. Instead, he turned to hand it to the woman: "Madam, please read it."
The woman opened the envelope and looked at it carefully, then a smile appeared on her cold face.
"It's done!"
Wow!
This news caused an explosion in the lobby, and all the bandits looked ecstatic.
Even Mr. Yin, who was always calm, couldn't help but smile.
