All the courtiers were concentrating and holding their breath, waiting for Xu Mochen's will.
Xu Mochen smiled secretly in his heart, but kept his expression calm on the surface. He opened the memorial and seemed to be thinking seriously.
In the hall, there is only the "whirring" sound of the rotating fan.
"This is a very good suggestion." When Xu Mochen spoke, everyone felt a little dazed and listened to his unhurried words, "What does it mean? It shows that the officials are careful.
Indeed, after the unification of the Qian dynasty, even now, it can be said to be the beginning of the world.
Some officials are old, some are sick, and lack of personnel is a problem.
As the states and counties in the country develop, more departments are needed to take charge of more detailed issues, and they all need people.
Therefore, Aiqing’s intention is to recruit a large number of talents through this imperial examination."
The official wrote with a smile: "Yes, Wei Chen believes that only with sufficient talents and complete departments can we support the great success of Daqian in the future."
Xu Mochen agrees, but will you pay the wages of this group of people?
Obviously impossible, it was not him, the emperor, who finally came to power.
So he also smiled: "This suggestion is very good, I am right!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Your Majesty is indeed a prosperous and wise king.
The human court officials were anxious, and they could clearly see that this was a trap.
"Your Majesty!" Li Heng (Human Race), the treacherous minister of the Zuodu Censor of the Imperial Procuratorate, stood up and said, "I have something to report to you, but what the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs said must not be accepted!"
"Shut up!" Xu Mochen didn't give any face, "Although the censor has the authority to report rumors, it can't be used in every situation.
I ask you, do you want to say that the sudden increase in salary expenditures for departments and officials is a huge expense.
Do you still want to say that if there are more people, the efficiency of work will be low, things will be messy, and there may be a group of corrupt officials, leading to the corruption of officialdom."
It was Li Heng who was scolded, but for some reason, all the courtiers felt ashamed.
Especially the official minister, his face turned purple.
"You are the only capable minister, the other ministers are all dull and incompetent." Xu Mochen couldn't help but sneer, "Governing national issues cannot be done with a slap on the head, otherwise what are we all doing sitting here?
You go back and write a memorial to apologize later."
Li Heng went down contentedly. Looking at His Majesty's behavior, there must be a reward tonight.
Stable!
Xu Mochen cursed a lot, took a sip of ginseng tea, and said in a friendly manner: "But these words are not without merit.
There are too many officials, so their salaries, promotions, etc. must be considered, and they must be fair and impartial, and they need to be assessed.
In this regard, does the Minister of Civil Affairs have any suggestions?"
The Minister of Civil Affairs was stunned. This still needs to be assessed, and it is so complicated.
We are all immortal cultivators, and being an official is just a title, and by the way, we can get some resources for the sect. Who really cares about the people, and does things just perfunctorily.
"It seems that the Minister of Personnel's thinking is not thoughtful enough." Before the Minister of Personnel could answer, Xu Mochen had already moved on to another topic, "So, the suggestion of the Minister of Personnel is feasible, but I feel that a department needs to be established to specifically
Used for the assessment of officials."
"This..." Minister of Civil Affairs felt like he shot himself in the foot.
"It's not a big problem," Xu Mochen seemed to mutter to himself, "If we really want to catch up on the matter of official inspection, this matter should be led by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and assisted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Implementation will begin immediately after the imperial examination.
The collected inspection data were handed over to the Prime Minister... However, the Prime Minister is in charge of all government affairs, and his health has not been very good. He took a long vacation last year, and I am really worried.
Well, in order to relieve the Prime Minister’s worries, I decided to set up a ‘board of directors’ to deal with these issues.”
Boom——The Prime Minister felt dizzy and he steadied his breathing: "Your Majesty, although I..."
"Prime Minister, don't think too much," Xu Mochen smiled, "It's just a governing body, not even a department. It's just to share your worries, and has no other meaning."
There is no other meaning to this. The Prime Minister is not an idiot. It is said to be a governing body, but it is actually a decentralization of power.
Of course Xu Mochen knew well that under the emperor of the Daqian court was the prime minister, so there was a conflict between the power of the monarch and the power of the king.
He has long planned to establish a cabinet. This so-called board of directors is actually his own small cabinet.
Taking the official inspection as the starting point, it cuts into the officials who are cultivators of immortality.
Other courtiers also felt something was wrong.
The emperor promised to expand the scale of the imperial examination and promote more officials. On the surface, it seemed that the immortal cultivators had the advantage.
Now there is an additional restriction, which is official inspection.
And this inspection power was seized by the emperor, and even the prime minister was kicked out.
However, the reason given leaves no room for refutation.
Your Majesty, you are so insidious!
The Minister of Civil Affairs stood blankly for a while, but finally had nothing to say and retreated.
Xu Mochen was very happy: "I am very happy. Everyone is working hard to achieve great results. No wonder many officials are sick.
Well, I think it is necessary to expand and popularize the corresponding medical system at the National Medical Center. Please take note of it."
Everyone felt aggrieved for a while, no need, they don’t need human medical technology.
They are immortal cultivators and will not get sick.
"I thought about it," Xu Mochen opened another topic, "I think that the background of officials should also be refined.
There are many outstanding talents among the children from poor families, so through this imperial examination, I think..."
Before these words were finished, the courtiers rebelled.
In the past, all officials in the court and important departments were held by cultivators.
Most of the general human officials are from noble families, and occasionally some are from poor families.
But what the emperor is saying now, judging from this meaning, is to use a large number of children from poor families.
What should the cultivators do? What should the nobles do?
Not only the immortal cultivators, but also the human officials were shocked.
But the human race knows how to assess the situation, and it is not appropriate to act rashly now.
Sure enough, the loyal ministers were dispatched.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Daqian has had its own fixed method of talent selection. Now a sudden big change may shake the foundation of the country."
"Weichen believes that the best students and talented people in the world are still selected from among the existing disciples."
"Yes, of course there are people from poor families who are talented and knowledgeable, but they are only a small number after all."
"Your Majesty, there are good and bad among poor families, and some are even sinners. Your Majesty, please think twice about this matter."
"We are all speaking from the bottom of our hearts. I hope your majesty will adopt them."
"This boy from a poor family, with such a background, becomes an official and gains power. The ministers think that it is inevitable that he will become inflated, and he is very likely to do things that violate the instructions of the imperial court."
"Yes, they say that scholars come from a scholarly family, and scholars pay attention to inheritance. How can they change it at will?"
……
In short, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
If Your Majesty doesn't listen, this country will suffer disaster.
