Chapter 2692 Gui Zi Scroll Consensus, Core (Please vote for me!
Lian Guoshi should be regarded as the most core member of Feng Ziying's group.
In addition to Lian Guoshi who most agrees with many of Feng Ziying's ideas and has the closest relationship with Feng Ziying, what's more important is that Lian Guoshi was the number one scholar in Yonglong's fifth year and had great influence among the scholars in the North and even the entire group of young scholars in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Big, it can be said that it is second only to Feng Ziying.
Moreover, Lian Guo was an upright and friendly person, capable and prudent in his work. In some aspects, he was better than Feng Ziying.
In addition, the Lian family is also a prominent Shilin family in eastern Henan and is very influential in Henan, so this kind of help can be called God's help.
This is why Feng Ziying went to great lengths to first gain the approval of Cui Jingrong, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and then took great pains to convince Gu Bingqian, and finally made some deals to win the approval of Guan Yingzhen, and finally sent the matter of state training to the Ministry of Personnel
In the key position of Right Minister.
It is not just as simple as being a third-grade minister. If you want to be the right minister of the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Punishment, you don't need to spend so much effort. But the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel is different. This will determine how many people in your camp can be in the next few years.
Pull it up quickly.
With the skills and ability to practice state affairs, Feng Ziying believed that he could successfully complete his ideas and handle them perfectly so as not to attract doubts from the outside world.
When it comes to practicing state affairs, he is not very young. He was born in the 23rd year of Yuanxi and is already thirty-six. It can be said that he is in his prime and worthy of a big responsibility.
In comparison, Geng Ruzhen is four years older than Lian Guoshi, and Pan Ruzhen is older, already in his forties.
Although the two of them were quite capable in doing things, they did not have the status of number one scholar, nor had they entered the Hanlin Academy. Their reputations were far inferior to those of practicing state affairs, so they suffered a big loss in this regard.
Therefore, in the end, Feng Ziying wanted to choose Lian Guoshi as the core training target. First, he had to determine the identity of Lian Guoshi and let him play a key role in a key position.
"Ziying, pushing me into this position is equivalent to putting me on the fire. Do you know that as soon as I went to the official department to report, countless people stared at me, including several doctors, ministers, and ministers?
Such a person, his eyes are about to burst out with fire."
With a smile on his face, Lian Guoshi took the teacup handed over by Feng Ziying himself, wiped it, shook his head and said.
"Haha, such an exaggeration? Why, if you don't become the Right Assistant Minister, it will be their turn? I'm afraid no one would have such wishful thinking, right?" Feng Ziying sneered, "If you really think you are capable, don't stay in the ministry all the time. Go down.
Go to the state capital and work hard for me for a few years, be a mule or a horse, walk for me in the local area, only then can you show your true potential."
Doctors are only in the fifth rank, and they will never be promoted to four ranks in a row, unless they make great contributions.
But how can you, a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, make such a great contribution? It’s not as good as in the Ministry of War, where you might still have a chance. You spend all your time wandering around in assessments, evaluations, and documents, so how can you achieve such great achievements?
"Are you just jealous and jealous people who think that you are young and suddenly promoted from a local position to a minister, and they are very angry?" Feng Ziying continued: "Tell them, if you really want to be jealous, don't be jealous of you.
Follow me! I'm less than thirty and I've already joined the cabinet. If you want to make a career, follow my example and go to places like Shaanxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi. Work there for three to five years. As long as they're good, I guarantee they can do it.
Upgrade more than two levels in a row and see if they are willing to go!"
Feng Ziying's words also made Lian Guoshi amused.
How can those people who are used to having a leisurely life in the bureaucracy go to such a poor and remote place and not know whether they will come back alive? Are they trying to force them to resign?
"Okay, I also know that they are just a little unhappy because I came up from somewhere, but so what? As you said, if you are not convinced, just go to the south and the north and have a taste of the food in the borderlands.
Taste, taste the joys and sorrows of the people in the barren land, and if you can understand the true taste, your journey will be worthwhile, and your promotion will be justified."
Lian Guo Shi also understood clearly, "It's a pity that no one wants to go."
"So don't be unconvinced. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Those who are unconvinced but have no ability should sneak out as soon as possible and don't stay in the staff and do bad things." Feng Ziying said unceremoniously: "I
I have said to Duke Liuji and Duke Ziqiang that government is politics, and if officials do not govern, the country will not be able to survive."
The practice of state affairs also began to get down to business, and he asked in a deep voice: "Ziying, in your opinion, what is official governance?"
Feng Ziying asked back: "Jun Yu, do you know how to pass the test?"
"Of course I know that the imperial court has issued it to all prefectures and counties, which involves considerable reforms, but there are differences in each region. For example, can Yan'an Prefecture be the same as Ningbo Prefecture? Can Jiangning County be the same as Wubao County?
?Of course it’s impossible, so there should be differences and emphasis in the assessment and evaluation. This point is also mentioned in the Entrance Examination Law, but more power is given to each province, so it depends on each province’s specific details, but there are
One thing I feel, and it may arouse a lot of repercussions, is that the influence on the evaluation of country gentlemen has been greatly weakened..."
Lian Guoshi is very keenly aware that the examination method has greatly weakened the influence of local gentry on the evaluation of local officials. In other words, there will be a very obvious change in the evaluation of local officials by the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future. It turns out that
There are three main evaluation criteria: one is the evaluation of Shangguan, the other is the evaluation of squires, and the third is the performance of taxation, education, and public security. The evaluation of squires carries a lot of weight.
But there have been huge changes in the current examination method. Although the evaluation of Shangguan still carries a lot of weight, the weight of the third category, that is, political performance, has been greatly increased, while the evaluation of country gentry has been greatly weakened.
Moreover, the categories of political achievements have also undergone major changes. Taxation is still important, and public security has not changed. However, three categories have been added: food production (including agricultural and sideline product production), industrial and commercial development, and infrastructure construction, and the proportions of these three categories have been added.
It is not light. It requires the annual increase in the output of grain or agricultural and sideline products, the increase in industrial and commercial taxes and the number of industrial and commercial enterprises, and the annual investment in infrastructure construction.
This change means that local officials are more focused on practical matters in specific matters, rather than some pragmatic enlightenment, such as the development of industrial and commercial industries, the increase in agricultural and sideline products, and investment in infrastructure construction. These can be demonstrated and supported by real data.
What is reflected is also more intuitive and simpler in terms of assessment and evaluation.
"Yes, I did put forward a lot of my views and opinions on the examination method. Master Qi generally accepted my opinions and wrote them into the examination method. This is why I want to have a good talk with you today.
The main content of the discussion.”
Feng Ziying did not mince words.
"Well, Ziying, what do you mean is that the future evaluation of the civil service department will also focus on performance, and the same will be true for the selection of officials?" Lian Guoshi said softly, stroking his beard.
"That's what I mean." Feng Ziying thought for a moment, "But that's not the most important thing I want to talk to you about today. I want to talk to you about some of the views and ideas that you and I have discussed over the years.
Now that I have joined the cabinet, and you have also become the Minister of Civil Affairs, how can we implement many of our views and ideas into these daily lives in the future? Or to be more straightforward, how can we implement our views in future court affairs?
Ideas to make the country and its people better?"
Lian Guoshi was slightly surprised. This statement was a bit big, and in a sense it was also a bit too much.
Feng Ziying is just a cabinet minister. Even if he has some say, in the final analysis, he still has to obey the overall opinions of the cabinet. How come he has to implement his intentions?
As if aware of Lian Guo Shi's surprise, Feng Ziying didn't care and said to herself: "Jun Yu, I won't hide it from you. The current situation in the cabinet is not very good. Everyone blows his own trumpet and sings his own tune. You come to Beijing.
Later, you will gradually feel that some major issues have been discussed for a long time, and many specific issues have to be pushed and implemented by yourself, which can be said to be very disappointing."
"Then in what aspects are the internal conflicts within the cabinet specifically manifested?" Lian Guoshi asked in confusion.
"There are various aspects, including different opinions, personal grievances, factional differences, and even more entangled interests. It is difficult to sum it up in one word. So in the past few months, I have also felt a headache, so I
I’m thinking, if that’s the case, why can’t I just follow the path I think is right? Who can say anything about us if we do things that are beneficial to the country and the people?”
Feng Ziying's words were sonorous, "I just want to have a good talk with you today about what we think this country should look like in the next three to five years or even ten years, and what we should do to achieve the goal in our minds. In addition to our
Besides, should we invite more people to join in to achieve the beautiful goal that everyone agrees on? This goal should be beneficial to the country and the people, and we should also determine a series of specific goals according to time, so that
We will achieve these goals in accordance with the timeline and fulfill our commitments."
Lian Guoshi finally realized that today's conversation was not about simply communicating opinions, but about unifying thoughts, building consensus, and determining a feasible planning plan.
Feng Ziying must have a very grand narrative plan in mind, and it involves everyone's views on the future.
Feng Ziying's intention is also very obvious, which is to find like-minded people and gather all the strength of these people to fight and work hard for it.
But instead of being disgusted with practicing state affairs, he was actually excited. As a scholar, he came with the purpose of cultivating himself, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. Moreover, he and Feng Ziying had communicated and discussed many things over the years, and they had a lot of consensus. Now it is
