At this time, all the civil and military ministers were waiting with bated breath for Qin Xiao to speak.
"I have something big to announce."
Qin Xiao's voice echoed in the hall.
Ministers are not monolithic, and there are often partisan fights with each other.
In the past, Qin Xiao would have been happy to see the infighting among the ministers.
Only in this way can we firmly control the highest power.
But today, he had something more important to announce and had no time to pay attention to these intrigues.
"This time I went to Yunzhou on the border. The situation has improved greatly. The Xixia and Jin people have all temporarily stayed away."
Officials big and small immediately fell to their knees.
“It all depends on His Majesty’s power!”
After everyone praised him a few times, Qin Xiao let everyone stand down and continued:
"I have obtained some treasures from the people, and I want to observe them with all my dear friends."
As he said this, an attendant would distribute the next pages of paper.
All officials were filled with curiosity.
Qin Xiao has always advocated frugality and avoided extravagance and waste. I have never heard of him collecting any treasures.
When they saw the words on the paper, everyone was extremely surprised.
"CV……"
There is not much content above, it lists the key points very concisely, as well as many issues that arise.
Finally, the attached relevant information was also noted for verification by the court.
All the ministers thought it was unheard of, fresh and practical.
Qin Xiao said slowly: "I have decided that from today on, all officials appointed by the imperial court must fill in a resume truthfully."
"Following this format, I will appoint the position based on the relevant expertise in the resume."
This proposal was approved by many knowledgeable ministers.
"The format of this resume really captures the key points. Filling it out accordingly will save a lot of time."
"I didn't expect His Majesty to make such a discovery."
"Not only personal resumes, but other things can also refer to this format to make it clear at a glance."
Seeing the unanimous praise from everyone, Qin Xiao showed a satisfied smile.
After retreating from the court, Qin Xiao reviewed the memorial in the imperial study.
I couldn't help but think of Xu Mo.
This person is indeed very capable, which can be seen from the resume that the minister of the DPRK approved of him.
Perhaps, this person needs a more comprehensive understanding.
Qin Xiao had an idea and shouted in a deep voice:
"It is said that the Imperial City Secretary will be promoted to Yang Jingdu."
The Imperial City Department of the Great Zhou Dynasty was specifically responsible for the emperor's safety.
Yang Jingdu quickly knelt before the emperor.
"You quickly lead people to Chong County and investigate the county magistrate Xu Mo."
"I obey the order."
Yang Jingdu agreed, but was confused in his heart.
Didn’t your Majesty just come back from Chong County?
Why did you send someone to investigate secretly after you came back? Could it be that something big happened in Chong County?
"I want to know everything about Xu Mo. No matter how big or small, I can't let them go."
"Also, please find out for me how much Xu Mo is worth now."
Yang Jingdu became even more confused after hearing this.
The Imperial City Division has always made the officials change their expressions upon hearing this. Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao sent him as the person in charge of the Imperial City Division, but he was actually just a small county magistrate on the border.
"I understand the humble position!"
Doubtless, Yang Jingdu obeyed the order and retreated.
Qin Xiao was now in the mood to review the memorial.
But soon.
A series of sneers appeared on Qin Xiao's face, and he threw the memorial aside.
The contents of the memorials of many ministers were similar, saying that the position of prime minister had been vacant for a long time and someone with outstanding talents was needed to fill it. Finally, it was mentioned that Chen Yong's appointment as prime minister was the most appropriate.
Chen Yong's qualifications and abilities are indeed enough for the position of prime minister.
But the problem is that most of the ministers in the DPRK are now moving closer to Chen Yong according to the wind.
This time, people wrote letters one after another, requesting that Chen Yong be made prime minister.
If this matter is accomplished, Chen Yong will be the leader of hundreds of officials, and the emperor will be inferior to tens of thousands of people.
Among them, there must be Chen Yong's private connivance, or even encouragement.
Although Qin Xiao is dissatisfied with this trend.
But at this moment, the heart of the minister who has followed him for many years is not cold.
"Hmph! Since he wants to sit in this position so much, he can give it to you."
…
Time passed, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Yang Jingdu hurriedly returned to Beijing from Chongxian County.
"Your Majesty, I have collected all the information on Xu Mo."
Yang Jingdu knelt down in the hall and presented the results of his trip.
"Get up and tell me about Xu Mo's situation."
Qin Xiao is looking forward to it now.
Yang Jingdu stood up and reported what he found.
"After multiple investigations by more than ten people in low-level positions, it was found that Xu Mo, the magistrate of Chong County, was mediocre six years ago and had no extraordinary talents."
"It wasn't until one day six years ago that he suddenly changed dramatically, as if he was completely transformed."
"He was originally just a poor scholar from Chongxian County, but relying on his extraordinary knowledge and many novel inventions, he stood out and became the magistrate of Chongxian County."
Qin Xiao was shocked when he heard this.
The county magistrate is only under the county magistrate and is equivalent to the modern deputy county magistrate.
Xu Mo, a poor scholar, could actually counterattack like this, which shows that this person's talent is absolutely amazing.
Yang Jingdu said again:
"Four years ago, Lu Bin, the magistrate of Yuan Chong County, was promoted to the prefect of Yunzhou."
"Lu Bin recommended Xu Mo to the court, and he succeeded him as the magistrate of Chong County."
After hearing this, Qin Xiao vaguely remembered that such a thing did exist.
At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty had only been established for a few years, and the imperial examination system was not yet complete. Many local officials were appointed based on the recommendation of officials.
At that time, Qin Xiao felt that Lu Bin was upright and selfless and a rare honest official.
Therefore, he agreed to appoint Xu Mo.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but murmured:
"Xu Mo said that the reason why he dared to sell his official position was because he had his connections."
"So, this person is actually Lu Bin."
Yang Jingdu was in the hall, his scalp numb when he heard it.
I was thinking in my heart, this Xu Mo is so brave, he dares to sell his official position? !
What Your Majesty hates the most is this kind of corrupt official.
But Yang Jingdu was also a little strange.
Since His Majesty already knew that Xu Mo was selling his official position, why is Xu Mo still alive and well? !
What a strange thing.
Before he could think clearly, he heard Qin Xiao ask again: "How is the situation in Chong County? Does the county turn over a large amount of money every year?"
Qin Xiao has great expectations for Chong County's tax revenue.
Nowadays, the treasury is tight and Chong County is so wealthy. It can be said that the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is unique.
For such a prosperous Chong County, the amount of silver it turns over to the court every year should be seven or eight times higher than other local counties.
unexpectedly.
Yang Jingdu's next words made him furious and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Your Majesty, that's not true. The money Chong County pays every year is just ordinary, only five taels more than the average."
"But the amount Chong County turns over every year is increasing."
