Su Shi, who succeeded Wutai in the Northern Song Dynasty, was assigned the title of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Water Resources, deputy envoy of the Huangzhou Tuanlian, resettlement in the state, and was not allowed to sign official documents.
Like Han Yu, who was demoted to Chaozhou to see crocodiles in the Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi, the Sima of Jiangzhou who was demoted to Jiujiang, etc., the Sima of the Tang Dynasty was a sinecure specially arranged for demoted officials, without any actual work. Being appointed as a Sima in a remote place is not an official job.
, which is actually exile and surveillance.
In the understanding of Zhang Guowei and others, the second Tongzhi taught by Mao Pijiang, or the right Tongzhi, some say he is actually the Sima of the Prefecture, while the Zuo Tongzhi should be the Chief Shi of the Prefecture.
So this is a sinecure.
But now the emperor says this is a temporary job!
Maoxiang was sent to Taipei for temporary training. Although he was assigned the official position of Tongzhi of the Prefecture, the Tongzhi of the Right was also the second-left official of the Prefecture. In particular, he was assigned to be in charge of a branch office.
Maoxiang's original Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, a third-rank casual official of this rank, and the third-rank Jianyuan Li Ke palm seal were given to Shi Zhong, and they remained unchanged.
The imperial court still reserved this official rank for them.
Even the salary is still received from the original employer, and the salary and other things remain unchanged.
That is to temporarily go on a temporary job to train, which can be as short as one or two years, or as long as three to five years. After completing one term, you will return to the original unit. If you have good experience and perform well, you can prepare for promotion and reward after you return.
If you don't do well, you can return to your original yamen, but it is equivalent to failing the assessment. At that time, whether you should be sacked, demoted, or fined, or transferred to another unit, or changed to a casual position, etc., it will all be based on the current situation.
The assessment and appointment system comes.
Having said this, everyone can't help but be a little skeptical.
Is this temporary position of the emperor really a special decentralization of experience?
The palm seal of an admonishment court is given to Shi Zhong, a third-rank official, a powerful official in the capital, just to gain some experience as a local official and to go deeper into the grassroots to understand the people's sentiments? To be appointed as a fifth-rank Fu Tongzhi?
The emperor said that these colleagues should be assigned to set up yamen to handle office work and take charge of errands. It was indeed not a matter of assigning idle duties.
"I still say the same thing, the prime minister must be from the state, and the general must be from the army. Everyone is familiar with the new frontier. The fourth son of Fushe is a young and talented man. He has been studying since he was a child, and he published it at the age of fourteen.
A collection of poems was released, and he was only thirty-six years old this year. Although he had failed the provincial examination six times, he was only a scholar.
But I have always used talents in an eclectic way, and specially granted him a Jinshi background. He has been working in Kedao for three years in the government, and his performance is very outstanding. But if he wants to go further in the future, his background and resume limit him.
he.
He only served in the Sixth Section for three years. He neither studied as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, nor worked in a ministry, nor did he have any experience in serving in a local government or county.
I appreciate Pijiang's talent and loyalty very much.
He is still young, only thirty-six years old, and even the people call him the Prime Minister. I also hope that he will go further in the future and become the Prime Minister. However, given his current qualifications, this road is not easy to take.
In the past, it was a common practice in the imperial court that one could not join the cabinet without going through the Imperial Academy. Not only did one need to be a member of the second rank of Jinshi, he also had to be a Shujishi to be able to join the cabinet.
However, I have other requirements. Cabinet bachelors must have experience in serving in local prefectures and counties, and they must be chief officials or at least left second officials.
The governor-general announced that these local officials must also have experience in serving in the capital's ministries.
The ministers, ministers, bachelors, etc. in the court also need to serve as governors or ministers in local places.
Why do we have these requirements? Because whether it is a local governor, a minister, a minister, or a bachelor, these official positions are not only in charge of one area, but also need to coordinate the overall situation and consider the overall situation.
I appreciate Mao Pijiang, so now we have a specific temporary job system to give these outstanding young talents a special opportunity to train.
Those who are decentralized in the central government can also take temporary posts in the provinces or in central Beijing. Their original grades and positions will be retained during the temporary posts.
Mao Pijiang, if this Taipei colleague does well in his temporary post, can make achievements, and accumulate good experience, then he can continue to return to the Admonition Yuan to serve as the chief minister, and even next year, he can arrange for a temporary post as Chief Secretary to participate in politics or as Deputy Envoy of the Chasi Division.
If you do well, it will also be counted in his assessment. After passing the exam, if you are deemed to be excellent, you can be directly awarded the second-grade cloth, ordained, or serve as a minister.
The road ahead will undoubtedly be brighter!"
Zhu Yihai took one of the four young masters, Mao Pijiang, as an example and described a broad road.
This year, I will be appointed as Taipei Tongzhi, and next year I will be appointed as Chief Secretary of Fujian to participate in politics. The year after that, I may take a position in the Sixth Ministry. Then after passing the exam, I may be directly posted as Chief Envoy or Inspector, or Minister or Secretary.
Remonstrance, general affairs envoy, etc.
If you can become a minister or minister, then the next step will undoubtedly be the governor, and then the governor, chancellor, and bachelor. All the way to the central government, becoming a bachelor is just around the corner.
The emperor's words were so clear that Zhang Guowei couldn't help but think deeply.
Mao Bijiang was well-known before, but he was really just a scholar who failed six provincial examinations. He was also young. He joined Emperor Shao in his thirties and served as an official in Kedao for three years.
Even if you are currently in the third-grade palm seal, there are indeed great limitations when it comes to promotion, especially now that it is becoming more and more standardized, and it is impossible to employ people without any system.
The emperor has now created a special shortcut for Mao Pijiang, so that he can take up a temporary job in the local area and make up for his shortcomings.
Although he took a temporary post to serve as the magistrate of the government, he still retained his third-grade official position.
After taking a temporary post, there is no need to rise step by step from the same position, but still based on his current official rank and even seniority.
After thinking about this, not only Zhang Guowei was surprised and in disbelief, but many other elders of the Third and Fourth Dynasties who had made up their minds today to argue with the emperor and even come to the station to kneel in the snow were silent.
If what the emperor said is true, then this temporary position is not a demotion, but a real act of extra kindness and appreciation.
For example, Qian Qianyi's son Qian Sunai, who was less than twenty years old, was also born as a Jinshi. He went from being a pedestrian to Dali Temple to judge affairs, and now he is the sixth-rank Dali Temple prime minister. He indeed only serves in the capital, and mainly in Dali.
Although he is a sixth-grade man, he has not much other experience. Now give him the opportunity to work as a county magistrate in Haicheng County, Fujian Province, and be sent to Xiamen to build a government office and be in charge of Xiamen Port and other areas. This is indeed a good job.
Exercise opportunities.
It would be really hard to accept if he was demoted to the eighth rank of county magistrate.
However, the official position of the sixth-rank Dali Temple Prime Minister is still retained, and he can take up the post of county magistrate without affecting the current casual officials and duties. This is undoubtedly a great surprise.
This is truly a reward and opportunity.
Zhu Yihai looked at these people with a smile on his face.
Of course, being unemployed is not always a good thing.
This is also a mechanism for screening and elimination. It is both an opportunity and a test. If you only entered the imperial court early because of your status as a descendant of a meritorious official or a distinguished relative, but if you have no real ability, then taking a temporary post is not an opportunity, but a temporary job.
Crisis.
For example, to be a pedestrian or a manager in Beijing, or to hold some other official positions, you do not need to be responsible for the supervisor, nor do you need to make overall decisions, and you may even just hang around. But once you get to the place, whether you are the county magistrate, the deputy township head, or the deputy town
Chief, the temporary positions given by Zhu Yihai are not just for dawdling, they are all responsible for one area and have separate office supervisors.
If you don't do it well, it will be obvious at a glance and cannot be hidden.
If he performs too poorly in a temporary position, his original official rank will naturally be affected. If he fails the assessment, he will either be fined or demoted. It is more likely that he will be assigned a sinecure position or even be deprived of his position, and he will slowly become idle, or even
It's been eliminated.
If you are really capable and perform well, or even if you can do just about anything, you still have a chance.
On the other hand, delegating a large number of Beijing officials, especially those from unstable and active parties like Mao Pijiang, is also a drain on wages. The local government has also sent a group of outstanding officials to serve in the province and Beijing to inject fresh blood and strengthen vitality.
If you don't know how to promote yourself and are ignorant, and don't forget to engage in party disputes when you get to the local government, it will be much easier for the emperor to deal with it.
So this temporary job, which looks very tempting on the surface, is actually a trump card carefully prepared by the emperor.
Faced with the current trend of party disputes, Zhu Yihai did not directly suppress and punish him simply and crudely, which might cause greater turmoil in the court and even chaos in public opinion.
Now Zhu Yihai is using the killer weapon of temporary employment as bait. If you are not an outstanding talent, the imperial court will not give you this opportunity.
Those who can be selected to be on the list of temporary posts, whether they are promoted to the central government or to local governments, are the best reserve officials, and even future prime ministers.
If you are selected, won’t you go?
What's the reason not to go?
How did other ministers oppose this?
There is not much reason to object.
Even if the difference between the post and the original official position is too great, Zhu Yihai can say that this is the first time. In the past, many officials were young and inexperienced due to the situation, so they were given smaller posts first, out of caution.
We can't say that Qian Sunai has only been an official in Dali Temple for three years, and now he needs to be appointed as a prefect or a co-prefect, right?
Mao Bijiang, a former scholar who failed six provincial examinations and served as an official in the Sixth Section for three years, is now asked to become a chief envoy or participate in politics, deputy envoy?
Why don't you practice with your colleagues first?
The prefect is the chief official of the same prefecture, so to be cautious, it is better to set up a right-hand magistrate for special training.
"Xu Shangshu, please also ask your officials to prepare and submit to me a list of one thousand people who are under the Central Government as soon as possible. This matter can be implemented as soon as possible. Maybe we will be able to celebrate the New Year in Beijing at this time next year, and then the Central Plains will be restored, and then
What we are facing is the problem of governance.
To govern the country, we must first govern the officials. I have never doubted the loyalty and talent of our officials in Shaotian Dynasty, but loyalty cannot replace experience, especially many of our officials are still very young, and they need more practical experience.
In addition, in the past, the imperial court also neglected this aspect, so many ministers in the imperial court did not have rich resumes and did not understand many affairs.
This has led many officials to only talk empty talk and talk about fantasy. How can they truly govern the country and the world?
Especially when formulating policies, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the investigation before you have the right to speak, so I hope everyone can practice hard and fill in these shortcomings."
