Chapter 307(2/2)
...........
President Liu informed the Queen Mother very early on about the assessment.
Before Liu Chang came to Chang'an, Empress Lu held the meeting three times and indeed selected many officials. The current official system of the Han Dynasty was still relatively simple, mainly relying on recommendations from various places, soldiers who made contributions, and some famous wise men were invited by the emperor to become officials.
In the local area, it depends on the situation. For example, the minor officials in the pavilion can be held through assessments, spend some money to study the law, and then participate in the exam.
In the past, such an official system was not very problematic. Most of the officials in the Qin State came from the battlefield, but now the Han Dynasty was unified and there were not so many battles in the country. The ministers in the past died one by one. Only half of the hundreds of marquises who founded the country were left. Many of these half were still recuperating at home, and few people could really do things.
Therefore, the official system became a problem that troubled the Han Dynasty.
Chang Liu doesn’t like to recommend. These people often recommend their confidants or children. After being warned by Chang Liu, they began to exchange recommendations. I recommend your younger brother, you recommend my son... Everyone is promoted and named a marquis together, and they are happy.
In order to get the recommended quota, the rich bribes bribed local officials. In the last year alone, the embroidered clothes were detected six times.
Therefore, Liu Chang believed that it is best to be trained by the Imperial Academy and then allocated to various places through assessment.
During the three assessments of Empress Lu, more than 460 officials were recruited.
Facts have proved that these officials who arrived in various places after passing the assessment are still good. Compared with those soldiers who have obtained official positions because of their meritorious service on the battlefield, these people's governance abilities are definitely one-tenth higher.
"As for those who are greedy for wealth and do not want to do the king's affairs, haha, they are not worthy of going to Hexi. People like them can go to Zhao State, and the best villain of King Zhao!"
