News of the reform of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce was already released on the morning of the third day.
The officials were shocked.
This is really shocking. Who would have thought that His Highness Taisun would kill the golden rooster that laid his own eggs?
On the surface, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is just a change, but after losing its invisible power, especially His Highness Taisun's platform, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce can still be the same as it is now.
Not to mention that after the division, it was directly brought under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and even under the management of the local magistrate.
But in the final analysis, this Chamber of Commerce has always belonged to His Highness the Grand Sun. Judging from his appearance, His Majesty must have agreed. Although the ministers below were grumbling in their hearts, they had nothing to say.
Only some well-informed ministers knew that His Highness Taisun was actually abandoning his carriage to protect his commander.
Zhu Ying didn't know much about the problems of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, but those ministers who had frequent contact with the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, especially the Ministry of Revenue, had long been aware of the hidden dangers of the Chamber of Commerce.
However, His Highness Taisun's power is too huge, especially because he is extremely favored by His Majesty. Under such circumstances, no one dares to make any bad suggestions to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.
As for the Qunying Chamber of Commerce located in the capital, it is within the sight of His Highness Taisun, so in fact there is not much of a problem.
No matter how domineering the members of the Chamber of Commerce are, as long as they come to the capital, they will act like a different person.
This is why Zhu Ying's personal deterrence is sufficient.
However, no one thought that such a big plate would collapse as soon as His Highness the Grand Sun said it would collapse.
It is completely conceivable that when this reform is implemented, the entire Qunying Chamber of Commerce will become completely different.
In the morning meeting, Zhu Ying made an announcement rather than a discussion.
According to the rules and regulations, it is considered a notice.
The ministers are most concerned about the newly established State-owned Assets Management Department.
This is definitely a fat mistake.
Anyone can think of it.
There have long been rumors that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce under His Highness Taisun controls 80% of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, and now that it has spread and is under separate jurisdiction, there must be a lot of oil and water in it.
In this regard, various regions need the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel to draw up a list of officials.
There are now more than a thousand county towns in the Ming Dynasty.
The determination of this list alone must have resulted in the birth of thousands of new officials.
Strictly speaking, there are currently no alternate officials in the Ming Dynasty.
When the Department of Public Security was established previously, a large number of candidate officials had been taken away, and then a large number of Imperial College students and candidate officials were transferred to the grassland border to assist in pacifying the herdsmen.
All of a sudden, thousands of officials could appear from nowhere.
After the morning dynasty, Zhao Mian, the Minister of Hubu, and Zhan Hui, the Minister of Personnel, came to the Huagai Hall.
"Your Highness, there are currently no candidates for official positions in the list of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The cumulative number is less than 200. Now there is a list of at least 5,000 officials. It is really hard for me to make a fool of myself."
"Currently, according to His Highness Taisun's request, a three-point system has been implemented for officials from various places, which has also led to a large number of officials to fill the gap."
"Now the requirement for officials is to have two years of grassroots work experience. Calculated in this way, even if we find a way to transfer from other departments, we will not be able to complete the list."
"Let alone five thousand people, even if there are five hundred people, I will still feel physically and mentally exhausted."
Zhan Hui vomited his bitterness.
This really made things difficult for him.
In fact, as a talent reserve, this is what Zhan Hui has been doing. Originally, there were quite a lot of available people in Zhan Hui's own talent list.
But I can't stand His Highness Taisun's continuous emptying out.
Looking back over the past years, there are really too many newly established yamen.
For example, the Statistics Department is the chief officer of hundreds of people, not counting the staff below.
There is also an extremely huge data on the sub-management personnel arranged by counties and prefectures in various places.
By the time we arrived at the grassland border gate, even the students from the Imperial College had already passed through.
Now we will establish a state-owned assets management department.
Just do some calculations, even based on the minimum standard of five people in a county, that is more than 5,000 people.
How could Zhan Hui produce so many officials?
Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, saw that after Zhan Hui finished speaking, he also started to complain.
"Your Highness, there are fewer and fewer people in the Household Department now, and they are becoming less and less useful. According to your Highness's previous request, all departments must have an arithmetic co-ordinator."
"This kind of calculation is naturally most familiar to the ministers and workers in the Chenhu Department. This has also led to a large number of other yamen looking for a secondment from Chenhe."
"What kind of secondment is this? It's just like a meat bun beating a dog and never coming back. When I went, I agreed easily, but when I let him come back, there was no news at all. I refused no matter what."
"Here, as soon as Shangshu Zhan heard about the important person in the newly established State-owned Assets Management Department of His Highness, he just put his idea on the Minister and Household Department. How did this happen?"
"The officials here are all busy until late at night. One person is doing the work of two or three people, and even one person cannot be spared."
When Zhan Hui talked about this, he burst into tears.
When it comes to arithmetic, there are naturally a lot of talents in the Ministry of Revenue. After all, you have to work in the Ministry of Accounts, and arithmetic is a long-term need.
When the Statistics Department was established, a large number of arithmetic talents were needed, and of course they were transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Later, Zhu Ying required all local government offices to make extremely detailed reports on all internal expenditures, expenditures, and a series of other matters. This also led to an extremely increased demand for arithmetic talents.
The art of arithmetic and calculation is a minor path in today's society.
The real road lies in the Four Books and Five Classics.
This is also the common understanding of all readers.
The level of arithmetic in the Central Plains region has been very high since ancient times, but this only includes a very small number of people, and most people have no energy to learn these.
Arithmetic is inherently a very laborious matter. It is not enough to study the classics and classics, and few people will put their minds on it.
Furthermore, arithmetic is not tested in the imperial examination.
The Ministry of Household Affairs is entirely due to work reasons, and many yamen officials only learned it later.
As time goes by, you will naturally become proficient.
Zhu Ying paid great attention to data. In this era, many arithmetic data can better reflect the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
With such a large territory, it is impossible for Zhu Ying to conduct field inspections everywhere every day.
Therefore, statistical requirements were issued to many yamen.
If you just think about it, you will know that the current State-owned Assets Management Department must carry out a large number of arithmetic approvals according to Zhu Ying's temperament.
Zhan Hui couldn't find anyone, and the Ministry of Revenue couldn't find anyone else.
If another group of people are transferred from the household department, there may be a big problem in even normal work operations.
As far as the current staff is concerned, the workload is already several times that of when Zhu Ying entered the palace two years ago.
The large amount of work has made the Ministry of Accounts, an oil and gas bureau, no longer interested in engaging in corruption.
Working overtime has become a norm, it can be said to be the Ming Dynasty version of 996.
This also led to the mentality of many officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs wanting to leave.
After Zhu Ying listened to the two men's stories, he nodded and replied: "I have also heard what the two ministers said. With the development of our Ming Dynasty, yamen in various places are in need of talents with arithmetic skills.
It’s constantly rising.”
"I can say this, in the future, there will only be more and more talents related to arithmetic. Arithmetic is an indispensable part of all walks of life."
"Whether it is me or the two ministers, they are here in the capital every day. There are several opportunities throughout the year to conduct inspections in other places."
"To be precise, if you want to know the situation below at any time, you can only make a deduction through some arithmetic."
"I have informed Grandpa and will make an announcement soon. The arithmetic section will be added to the current imperial examination books for an assessment."
"Of course, joining now will not quench the current shortage of arithmetic talents. I have thought about it carefully, who is the most used person in arithmetic nowadays?"
"After thinking about it, I discovered that the talents who can really use arithmetic for a long time do not lie in the household department, nor in the court, but in the accountant."
"There is no restriction on the promotion of talents. I feel that we can conduct a temporary assessment and allow officials, even ordinary people, to use work-for-relief methods to temporarily replace the original official requirements."
"Zhan Shangshu, you are in charge of the staff. What do you think of my proposal?"
Relief for work generally refers to relief for people displaced by famine.
What Zhu Ying mentioned here is to replace officials with non-official bodies.
Zhan Hui was stunned for a moment.
He had no idea that His Highness Taisun would come up with such a solution.
Just after thinking about it carefully, I feel that it seems to be more feasible.
There are quite a lot of folk talents in today's era. The development of Shushu Yiyi does not lie in the temples, but in the folk.
To be honest, many newly appointed officials in the Ministry of Revenue, without being exposed to arithmetic, often find some private accounting masters to learn from them.
Now His Royal Highness Taisun's intention is to cancel this part and directly allow those talents who have not passed the imperial examination to hold official positions.
In fact, before this, the imperial court has always had a way to recommend people into official careers. However, since the beginning of last year, the recommendation process has been blocked by His Highness the Grand Sun. Although there is no clear abolition, it can be said that the recommendation of filial piety and integrity has been completely stopped at present.
path.
The current work-for-relief scheme is somewhat similar to the previous promotion of filial piety and integrity.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhan Hui asked: "Your Highness, I still have some doubts about this."
Zhu Ying said: "If you have anything to ask, please tell me."
After Zhan Hui bowed, he asked: "Will those who come here with work-relief services also be admitted to the official register like other officials?"
"Will their salaries and other aspects be paid according to their original positions?"
Zhu Yingdao said: "Officials who work for relief should be limited to the sixth rank unless they have extraordinary achievements. This can be regarded as a fair treatment to those who have passed the imperial examination."
"In terms of salary, the salary will be paid according to the facts, and the official registration will also be entered. However, it can be stated on the official registration that the entry is in the form of work-for-relief."
"But do you still have any questions?"
Zhan Hui shook his head and said, "I already understand. Thank you, His Highness Taisun, for clearing up the confusion."
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "The implementation of this method can be regarded as a compromise method at present. When our Ming Dynasty has more talents in the future, there will naturally be no need to overdo it."
"So we still need more support for the official school. Everyone can see the situation in Ming Dynasty now. In the future, there will be more and more places that need scholars, and relatively speaking, the demand for practical work will also be greater.
Come bigger."
"The reform of the imperial examination is imminent. You must withstand the pressure for the time being and carry out proper control and governance to avoid causing any trouble."
"The selection of talents has always been a matter for the officials. This time, Shangshu Zhan will take the lead. Specific plans and measures have been prepared by Shangshu Lao Zhan. When the time comes, we will convene the necessary personnel from various yamen for a discussion and study.
.”
"I will not go through the meeting. Guo Zhong will arrange for the eunuch to go there and take notes."
Now that Zhu Ying is in power, he basically proposes a direction, and then leaves the specific implementation to the ministers below. Even if it is a meeting at the ministerial level, he has no intention of participating.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines and over 100 kinds of sounds. It is also a source-changing artifact and source-changing app that supports offline reading]
Let the eunuchs be used as record-keeping officials directly.
Just take a quick look at it when the time comes.
As far as this method is concerned, it can be said to be extremely worry-free, and the ministers are relatively more relaxed.
"I respectfully obey the order of Your Majesty Taisun."
"Old slave, I sincerely obey the order of Your Majesty Taisun."
Zhan Hui and Guo Zhong immediately bowed and replied.
After handling the matters here, Zhu Ying looked at Zhao Mian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and said: "I can see that the work of the Ministry of Revenue has been quite hard recently."
"After Zhan Shangshu's arrangements are completed, we will replenish the staff here. I think it will be much easier."
"As for personnel recruitment, the Ministry of Revenue itself can also conduct a recruitment process and conduct internal assessments. As long as there are talents in this field, they can naturally be recruited first."
"These newcomers can work first, and their remuneration will be half of the original official salary."
"After passing the assessment of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, we will join the staff on a work-for-relief basis."
"Also, regarding the work of the household department, we should not only think about how to make money, but also understand how to spend money, and use good steel on the cutting edge."
"I have heard a lot about your impeachment recently. Minister Zhao does not need to pay too much attention to these things. As long as you manage the Ministry of Households well, you will naturally have merit."
"Of course, if you really do something illegal or disciplinary, I will not say that I will protect you."
At present, except for some relatively senior officials, Zhu Ying is basically not involved in the impeachment work.
Zhu Ying was impeached every day. How could Zhu Ying have so much time? Dali Temple had basically already been responsible for some situations.
