Chapter 382 It’s better to go find His Highness the Crown Prince!
"Haha! Mr. Liu, you are just kidding me. To be honest, I really think this is not feasible. Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince did not tell me about this!"
Du Buju said with a smile.
"This... Mr. Du, how do I remember that His Highness the Crown Prince said that he would provide some establishments for the officers of various government offices?"
Liu Chengfeng said in a deep voice.
"This matter is handled by the Ministry of Personnel. Our Ministry of Justice will just wait for the Ministry of Personnel to come up with a plan. As for the staffing matter you mentioned, I absolutely cannot agree to it."
Du Buju said in a deep voice.
Damn it!
This Minister of the Ministry of Punishment cannot get enough oil and salt!
Why aren't Master Wang and Master Xue here yet?
When they come, let's see how you refuse.
At this moment, Wang Wuji and Xue Bingtian walked in with gifts.
"Haha! Mr. Du, you are fine!"
Wang Wuji said with a smile.
"Master Du, I want to see you, but it's too difficult now. You have a large number of people in the Criminal Department. People come up to question you wherever you go!"
Xue Bingtian said in a deep voice.
Along the way, they were interrogated countless times by people from the Ministry of Punishments. Even though their official positions could be seen by looking at their official uniforms, these people still came to question them. Xue Bingtian felt that this was Du Buju's deliberate instigation.
Wang Wuji rolled his eyes at Xue Bingtian and thought to himself, we are on someone else's territory and we must abide by their rules.
When people from the Department of Human Punishment entered your Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, weren't they also made things difficult by the people from your Ministry of Rites?
"Haha! Mr. Wang, you are well. Mr. Du, our Criminal Department is quite special. The docket contains files on major and important cases, so we have to be stricter."
Du Buju said with a smile.
At this time, although Du Buju was smiling on the surface, his fists were clenched from time to time, and his heart was pounding.
First, a minister from the Ministry of Rites came, and now came the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Personnel. Although they brought gifts, they were definitely not coming to give gifts to themselves!
Did he come under the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince?
hiss!
If this is the case, it can be seen that His Highness the Crown Prince attaches great importance to the assessment of the officers. If he continues to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf and refuses to pass, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
"Master Xue! Master Wang, you are finally here. I have been discussing with Master Du for a long time, but he just doesn't agree. Please give me more advice!"
When Liu Chengfeng saw the two of them, he stood up quickly and said.
Xue Bingzhen really wanted to give Liu Chengfeng a kick and make trouble for himself. Now that he had done this himself, why was he here?
Wouldn’t it be a foil?
Wang Wuji looked at Liu Chengfeng with a hint of disgust at this time. This guy was really a thief. On the one hand, he asked him to help, but on the other hand, he did things alone.
"Haha! Mr. Wang, Mr. Xue, what you came here to talk about is about the assessment of the officers of various government agencies?"
Du Buju asked with a smile.
Xue Bingtian said in a deep voice: "This is exactly the matter. It is related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's plan for the future of the Ming Dynasty. We must handle it well. Please be accommodating to Mr. Du."
After hearing this, Du Buju pretended to be in a difficult position and said: "This...it's actually very difficult to do this. However, Mr. Wang and Mr. Xue have both come in person. If I don't agree, I will be a little ignorant."
"So, Mr. Du agreed?"
Xue Bingtian looked at Du Buju in surprise and asked.
Then, he looked at Liu Chengfeng with disdain and thought to himself, have you seen that when you did things, others didn't agree, but I came here and they agreed.
"Yes, I agreed to this matter, but you should also be aware of the situation in our Criminal Department. The officers are busy with official duties every day and do not have much time to study writing."
"Therefore, I hope Mr. Xue will be as simple as possible when setting the questions."
Du Buju said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Master Du. Since the assessment is in simplified Chinese, we naturally require that you know how to pronounce it, and we will test more on the pronunciation of simplified characters."
"That is to say, after we write the simplified Chinese characters, those who take the exam only need to mark the pinyin letters on it. In addition, there will also be some questions that form sentences."
"This is a question in the early stage. I also plan to add some reading in the middle and later stages, such as some famous articles, and have them annotate the whole article with pinyin letters, etc."
Xue Bingtian said casually.
After all, he is the Minister of Rites, and he is well versed in such matters as writing questions, so this casual comment is almost the same as the test papers of later generations.
After Du Buju heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise. If this was the case, the difficulty of the exam would be greatly reduced.
However, you still have to strive for certain benefits.
"Well... Mr. Xue, I have another unkind request. After this assessment, can we leave the matter of recruiting officers to our Criminal Department?"
"At that time, our Ministry of Punishment will compile this list and submit it to the Ministry of Personnel."
Du Buju said.
As long as this list is written by their Ministry of Punishment, then the problem won't be too big.
After hearing what Du Buju said, Xue Bingtian smiled and said: "Master Du, what are you thinking about?
You don’t want us from the Ministry of Etiquette to help you assess the officers, do you?”
“Are you working as a member of our etiquette department for free?
We are only responsible for giving you the test papers for each assessment, and you will organize the exams yourself."
"Furthermore, I have also taken into account the fact that the Ministry of Punishment requires a large number of officers. You do not set a minimum score for each assessment."
"That is to say, you need to recruit a thousand people this time, but the 1,000th person did very poorly in the exam. They can still be admitted if they only get one question right."
kindness!
Hearing Xue Bingtian's explanation, Du Buju's eyes showed excitement. If this was the case, it would not have any impact on their punishment department, which would be more troublesome.
Liu Chengfeng became completely transparent. In order to find something to talk about, he said in a deep voice: "Master Xue, if this is the case, then what is the meaning of the existence or non-existence of the Ministry of Punishment's assessment?"
"What Mr. Liu said makes some sense. Brother Xue, think about it. There are at least dozens or hundreds of questions on this paper. It is not difficult in itself. If you answer one correctly, you can be a servant. This is true.
There is no difference between yes and no assessment."
Wang Wuji also said.
"This... how about we go ask His Highness the Crown Prince for instructions?"
Xue Bingtian also said.
"Yes, I'd better ask His Highness the Crown Prince about this matter."
Du Buju said in a deep voice.
After discussion, the three of them decided to go find His Highness the Crown Prince. At this time, Lin Fan was fishing in the Crown Prince's residence.
"Your Highness, your fishing rod is so strange. I have never seen it before when Qingqing is so big."
Liu Qingqing stood behind Lin Fan, helping Lin Fan fish, but the more he looked at Lin Fan's fishing rod, the more strange he felt.
