Hong Min returned home with a confused look on his face, urged his wife who was also confused to help him pack a few clothes, withdrew some money, and then hurriedly returned to the county government.

This is not his first time going to Luoyang.

But they were told to leave by the censor himself, and they left together and immediately.

This is the first time, almost the first time in the Han Dynasty.

Well, it might even be the only time in history.

The emperor can go there and take it away in person.

In the future, Hong Min will have material to brag about with his grandchildren.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​appointing and removing people from other places in the county?" On the way back, Wang Buxu invited Hong Min to ride with him.

There weren't many people in the car anyway, just the two of them.

Zhang Buyi and other imperial guards were all guarding on war horses.

The return trip was very boring, and Wang Buxian also decided to ask some topics that were not suitable to be asked in public.

"Back to the censor, this is the response strategy that the official came up with based on the imperial court's approach to Pingyin County. There are too many townships and pavilions. It is unrealistic to transfer all the officials from outside. Moreover, they are more advanced to the grassroots level.

, so it is better to be governed by the people of the county. First, there are restrictions on them so that they do not dare to act recklessly, so as not to be scolded by the villagers. Second, although they are from different townships, they are in the same county and the grassroots level.

The people's acceptance is also higher," Hong Min said.

This was not confidential information, and he had also told Chen Hua about this idea, and Chen Hua had naturally reported it to the Ministry of Personnel.

Besides, hiding his secrets on this would not do him any good.

After all, it's not a unique craft.

Besides, is today’s unique craft still considered a craft?

The imperial court successively trained a large number of carpenters and blacksmiths, as well as various craftsmen.

In today's world, people who have mastered a craft have two choices.

One is to continue to control it yourself and not spread it to others.

The second is to hand it over to the court, and then exchange it for a sum of money and food. If you are lucky, you might even be able to get an official position.

But the speed of technological innovation in the hands of the imperial court was too fast.

If you continue to control it, you will probably be eliminated in a few years.

In the face of big policies, these personal things are just a cloud.

"Then how do you accurately assess each official?" Wang Buxu continued to ask.

The imperial court's method for this was to combine the two with a large number of quasi-officials conducting secret visits and investigations in addition to the assessment of the personnel department.

But this is a big project, and it faces the whole country.

The effects will not be felt that quickly.

Hong Min has already done this in Pingyin County.

Wang Buxu once noticed that an official was only appointed as the head of the pavilion by Hong Min and was quickly dismissed within ten days for bribing investigators.

However, this bribery is relatively hidden, and it is even a new type of bribery method.

"The lower official listed a directory and asked his subordinates to visit and investigate as required. Because Pingyin County is only that big, the personnel can still be controlled, so the lower official arranged for different supervisors to conduct cross visits.

But even so, there are still some problems."

"For example, one time, the lower official discovered that there was something wrong with the pavilion chief appointed by the lower official. His talent and moral character did not match the results of the investigation at all."

"The incident was caused by a dispute between two households in the pavilion over the renovation of their house. The five chiefs, the chief minister, and Li Zheng all failed to mediate. In the end, the pavilion chief came to mediate and rule. In the end, the pavilion chief gave both parties a slap in the face. Regarding this result,

, both households were dissatisfied, and happened to be overheard by the visiting official, so he informed the lower officials of the matter."

"In the past, when such incidents occurred, the chief of the pavilion, as the final mediator and adjudicator, had to be reasonable and evidence-based when dealing with it. Because he was highly respected, everyone could calm down and listen to his mediation. On the premise that there was no obvious physical struggle between the two parties, the decision was made.

It is unreasonable to give each other a slap in the face and use this as the final mediation result."

"After Xiaguan heard about this, he personally visited secretly and found that his nephew was the chief official under Xiaguan. He had said a few words to him when he was selecting people, and then in the countryside, he used threats to

, either with inducements, or simply asking the tribesmen to come forward and pretend to be a villager, so the summary obtained by the lower official is that this person is highly respected and well-liked by the villagers."

"After confirming the result, I no longer used this official, removed him from the post of pavilion chief, and appointed the person who had been squeezed out as the new pavilion chief. As a result, the new pavilion chief's treatment plan shocked both households.

Very satisfied.”

"So, the official's understanding of the official is that no matter what time of day, you must go for a walk frequently. Only when you experience it personally can you see the problem. At the same time, you cannot ignore the daily routine just because of the temporary calm.

During inspections, many times, the essence of a thing can be seen through some subtle things." Hong Min explained without any hesitation.

And Wang Buxu also listened with great interest.

It's like listening to a story.

It's a very common thing, and it's also a very classic thing.

In fact, there are not many people who can really do this.

If the chief official of Peixian County was not Xiao He but Hong Min, then Liu Bang would never have the chance to sit as the chief of the pavilion.

In the early stages of selection, he would be knocked out by Hong Min.

In previous cases, those who wanted to become officials had to bribe superior officials.

This kind of direct and targeted bribery was the first time in the Han Dynasty, and it was also a relatively smart one.

It is precisely because there are people inside who know that bribing superior officials is not possible, so they turn to the lower levels.

Wang Buxu is considering whether to let the scouts play some role in this link?

But this idea was quickly dismissed.

The concealment of the scouts is the most important thing. The purpose of the existence of these grassroots scouts is to allow the court to grasp some changes among the people.

It is not used to evaluate whether an official is competent for the job.

If you let the scouts do this, you may expose the scouts, and it also feels like making a fuss out of a molehill.

In a world where there are no fish if the water is clear, you cannot ensure that everyone is a good person.

The only thing that can be done is to improve it as much as possible to compress the living space of the bad guys.

But it is unlikely that this kind of thing will be completely eradicated.

At least for now, this is far from possible.

Before dark, Wang Buxu and his party entered Luoyang City.

He asked Zhang Buyi to arrange a place for Hong Min to live, and at the same time asked him to take him to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow. Then Wang Buyi went back to the palace directly.

I brought Hong Min back just for the sake of the way, and also to chat with him and get to know this person better.

Overall, Hong Min made Wang Bu Hungry feel pretty good.

He is more dedicated and stubborn, making him a good official.

When Hong Min arrived at his residence, he naturally no longer needed to submit other information because he was led by the Forbidden Army.

This is the second time Hong Min has come here. The last time he came from his hometown to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, his family stayed here for three days, and then went directly to Pingyin County to take up his post.

The lobby is much busier than I remembered. Meals are provided here, but the quantity is not large, so you can only ensure that you don't get hungry.

But they also provide paid meals. The people who live here are basically officials who come to Luoyang from all over the world. When they are bored at night, everyone will sit here and chat. Anyway, they chat all over the world, or just talk about something.

Things in various places.

"I wonder where this colleague comes from? There is actually a forbidden army leading the way. Is there a way up there?" Just after getting the house card and the forbidden army left, a person came forward and asked.

You can tell what official position you have by just looking at the token on your waist.

Hong Min's token happened to be turned upside down, and his body blocked the words on it, but there were a lot of chief official's tokens present, and you could tell it was a chief official's token just by looking at it.

And looking at the scene when Hong Min came here, I looked at them. If there was no one above, they would rather rip off the head and use it as a chamber pot for him.

Hong Min bowed politely to the visitor, and then said: "The chief official of Pingyin County, Hong Min, was just on the road with the imperial army..."

"Oh, it turns out we were just on our way. Go to your room and bow down. If you're not tired, you can come down and chat with everyone later." When he heard that he was just on his way with the Forbidden Army, the visitor instantly lost his previous enthusiasm.

He is just a chief official. No matter how promoted he is at this level, he will only be the county magistrate.

And I became the county magistrate five years ago. Before I came here, my superiors told me that there was a great chance of becoming an official this time.
Chapter completed!
