Chapter 129 Redundant officials also have the benefits of redundant officials
It is said that wealth, wine and sex are alluring, but Zhao Huan doesn’t care much about these things——
Zhao Huan really doesn't love money. Whether it is one hundred million or one billion, these numbers are just numbers in Zhao Huan's eyes and have no meaning at all.
Zhao Huan was angry, and Zhao Huan didn't even care. After all, Zhao Huan has always had a grudge, and people in the world said he favored a large number of Zhao officials. People who could make Zhao Huan angry, except Zhao Jixiang, could also engage in cultural creation in Longde Palace, and the rest
Basically they were buried in the ground.
Those that were not buried in the soil were built into Jingguan.
As for the two types of wine and color...
For Zhao Huan, who had tasted all the fine wines in the world in his previous life and was used to seeing the most beautiful women in the world, such things as lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman and awakening to take over the world were just a passing cloud and not worth mentioning.
Then Zhao Huan asked: "I wonder how many of these draft picks are talented? And how many are good-looking picks?"
"Ten people were selected for talent, and ten were selected for appearance. They are all top choices. Among them, there is one person who is both talented and beautiful, and who can barely be considered a general. He can be of help to the officials."
Empress Dowager Meng said with a smile: "Let's go back and wait until the officials have time, so we can meet up?"
"Then just look at the arrangements."
Zhao Huan said: "My nephew's thoughts are still on the four grids and eight methods and redundant officials."
…
"No matter what, the four grids and eight methods must be implemented."
Li Gang first set the tone for this conversation, then stroked his beard and said, "Let's start with the six chapters."
"I'm sorry, I beg to differ."
After being promoted to the position of Chief Censor of the Yushitai, he was directly promoted from the captain of the troll squad to the leader of the trolls. However, Shen Hao didn't have much joy on his face: "The most urgent task at the moment is to start with the Yushitai and directly deal with the situation."
Let’s clean up the censor’s desk to prevent those people from causing trouble.”
"also."
Li Gang considered it carefully and said: "It's just that you were so vigorous and resolute when you first took charge of the Yushitai. From now on..."
Shen Hao said with a sullen face: "The Censor's Platform is in ruins! Nowadays, the Censor's Platform is controlled by the ministers, Shizhong and the relic collectors. The Censor's Speaker cannot serve as the emperor's eyes and ears, and cannot clean up the affairs of the court. These corpses are left to serve as plain food.
What are you doing?"
As soon as Shen Hao mentioned Menxiasheng, Li Gang's face suddenly turned ugly——
The Yushitai is in ruins, and the province is not much better!
What's even worse is that it's not just Yushitai and Menxiasheng that are rotten, but a large area of Zhongshu Menxia, Privy Council, Third Division, Six Divisions and Five Temples are rotten!
If the imperial court is a little rotten, the Song Dynasty will be rotten. Now the imperial court is completely rotten...
To put it bluntly, if the Jin soldiers had not gone south and made the people of all states in the Song Dynasty turn their attention to the war, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty would have been full of wars!
"Who is more suitable to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"
After figuring out the key here, Li Gang said in a deep voice: "Although Qing Qing holds the title of Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, Qing Qing is still a young prime minister after all. If he takes charge of the Ministry of Personnel, I'm afraid..."
"There is nothing to be afraid of. Thanks to the official family, Jian Ruobing was appointed as the young chief. Now it is the time to serve the official, so what is the difference between the young chief and the official department?"
Li Ruobing cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city and replied: "Since ancient times, reforms have been difficult and bloody, and the same is true today. Since the officials want to implement the strategy of four grids and eight methods to clean up redundant officials, let's start with Ruobing.
.”
Shen Hao cupped his hands towards Li Ruobing and asked, "I wonder who else can be trusted?"
Li Ruobing shook his head and said: "If it weren't for today's officials, the court would have been in chaos a long time ago. Who can be relied on? Look at the court when the emperor was in power. Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang, Bai Shizhong, who Aren’t you a corpse-vegetarian?”
"Qin knows how to play!"
Shen Hao suddenly shouted: "Looking at what Qin Huizhi did in Fengsheng Prefecture, we know that this person has great talents. Why not let him return to the court?"
"no!"
Li Gang shook his head and rejected Shen Hao's proposal without thinking: "Qin Huizhi is indeed a talent, but Feng Sheng Prefecture cannot do without him. What's more, this person is not an easy person. Let him return to the court. I'm afraid It will add to chaos.”
"What about this year's new Jinshi?"
Shen Hao said: "This year, there are 150 new scholars to be admitted to the new department. Is there some talent that can be used no matter what?"
"The new Jinshi gets six ministries to observe politics."
Li Ruobing also shook his head and said: "The official family has said before that new scholars should first go to the six departments to observe the government before they can be appointed to avoid becoming petty officials..."
Li Ruobing suddenly stopped talking, and after a long while, he thought about it and said, "Why don't you persuade the officials to do something else and give these little officials below a chance?"
…
"Little official?"
Zhao Huan said with a smile: "Of course it is possible. But, you have also ignored one problem."
Seeing that Li Gang, Li Ruobing and Shen Hao all looked confused, Zhao Huan simply asked Wu Xin to get the map and spread it out on the table.
"After all, it's a place all the way. The total number of officials, big and small, can't be a thousand, but it must be five hundred, right?"
"In addition to the Chief Envoy of Gansu Province, and here in Fengsheng Prefecture, Qin Huiwan has complained to me more than once that there is not enough manpower, and I will arrange for him to go there later."
"There are also Datong and Xijin Prefectures. These places are now under military control, but they can't continue to be under military control, right? Sooner or later, officials will have to be sent there to manage them, and by then hundreds of people can be arranged."
"Redundant officials are not terrible. Redundant officials also have the benefits of redundant officials. At least I don't have to worry about insufficient manpower."
"In other words, as long as I expand my territory quickly enough, the extra officials will definitely be able to accommodate it."
"..."
Li Gang, Li Ruobing and Shen Hao just looked at Zhao Huan in confusion.
As long as the speed of territorial expansion is fast enough?
If it is really like what you said, then not only can we arrange those officials, but maybe those officials may not be enough!
But what is the crux of the problem?
Many places are so poor that they have nothing to do. You want to arrange for those officials to come there. Are they willing?
Being an official for thousands of miles is only for wealth! Officials!
What can you do in those useless places? Can you make money or gain fame?
"I'll give them a chance."
Zhao Huan pointed to the map of Gansu Chief Envoy and Datong, and said with a smile: "In the future, if you have no experience in governing a place, you will not be allowed to serve as prime minister. In other words, whether it is Hedong Road or Gansu Chief Envoy, where will you be in charge? They are all considered to be in charge of one place."
"By the way, when Zhang Bangchang becomes an official later, I promise that he can pick a piece of land in Xixia, which is calculated as a land of thousands of hectares. When the time comes, I will sell the piece of land to him for a penny and allow his family to pass it on to three generations. If there is a Dazai who becomes an official, it will be handled accordingly."
Fame, given. Profits, gained.
There is a large area of unowned land in Xixia. It would be nothing even if a thousand hectares were sold to Zhang Bangchang. Moreover, he would have to bring his family and money to open up wasteland and cultivate the land. Then the seeds and harvest would cost another sum of money.
Cooperation would benefit both parties.
