Chapter 198: The Last One Is Eliminated, The Promotion Is Promoted, Yan Changqing Wants To Kill Ming
Zhou Wang Zhu Ju suddenly thought of a question, looked up at Yan Changqing and said:
"Not every official can get the reward commission. If there are officials who cannot get the reward commission, but they cannot support their family just relying on their salary.
"Then these officials, even if they are not willing to take bribes, will continue to choose to take bribes in order to support their families?!!"
"Is there no other way these officials can save themselves?!!"
Hearing this, Yan Changqing raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, looking at Zhu Ji in surprise and said:
"Save it?!!"
"If these officials don't dismiss them and then hold them accountable for their incompetence, then that's already considered forgiveness for them, so why should we save them?!"
Looking at the confused face of King Zhou Zhu, Yan Changqing further explained:
"First of all, from beginning to end of the Ming Dynasty, the number of rewards and commissions issued due to various national and political affairs is at least dozens if not hundreds of times!!!
“Secondly, every time the imperial court issues a reward commission, there are at least a dozen officials who can receive the reward commission, and as many as dozens or even hundreds of officials who can receive the reward commission.
"In other words, the number of reward commissions and the number of people who receive reward commissions each time, the total number of places can range from thousands to tens of thousands!!!"
"And if we use the theoretical data to calculate the number of civil servants and subordinate staff in the Ming Dynasty, which is about 20,000, it is about 50,000."
"So this means that these 70,000 or so civilian officials and subordinates are competing for a one-seventh to one-seventieth chance of receiving reward commissions."
"In other words, if these 70,000 civil servants are able to perform better than the other seven to seventy people when performing state affairs and political affairs arranged by the imperial court, then they will have the opportunity to obtain this Reward commission!!!”
"It's just a competition between seven to seventy people. It's not even the level of picking one out of a hundred. Isn't it very difficult?!!"
"If they can't even reach the level of one in a hundred, then how can they have the face to take the reward commission given by the court?!!"
Hearing Yan Changqing's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.
That's right, he finally decided to bleed a lot of money to increase the salary of Ming officials in disguise. If Ming officials didn't perform as well as the best of the best, then he really didn't want to spend this money!!!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the difficulty of this one-in-a-hundred-to-one was too low, and wanted to increase the difficulty of obtaining reward commissions to the level of one-in-a-thousand, or even one-in-a-thousand!!!
Yan Changqing looked at Zhou Wang Zhu Ju and continued:
"Similarly, as long as they can get one reward commission, at least it will be equivalent to the one-year salary of a ninth-grade official, and at most, it will be equivalent to the one-year salary of ten first-grade officials!"
“Such a reward commission can’t be said to be too small, right?!!”
"If nothing else, it is at least enough for them to improve their family situation and make their family live a prosperous life without any problem, not to mention that even interpersonal relationships and gatherings with colleagues need to be picky~.
"Under such circumstances, if officials are still corrupt and accepting bribes, then there is nothing more to say. If they should be killed, they will be killed and whatever should be done should be done."
"If they can't even get a reward commission, then it doesn't matter whether their personal abilities are really mediocre."
"But at least what is certain is that their personal abilities are relatively mediocre and at the bottom among the overall level of the 70,000 Ming officials and subordinates!!!"
"How long will it take for officials and subordinates to be dismissed from their posts if their personal abilities are relatively mediocre and at the bottom of the pile?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes could not help but nodded in agreement.
Indeed, the opportunity to reward commission has been given so many times, and the difficulty of obtaining reward commission is not really very difficult.
At least to the extent that as long as you work really hard, work harder, and work extra hard, you can get rewards and commissions.
If you can't even get a chance to get a reward commission, let's not mention other aspects for the time being.
At least the ability level of this subordinate official is indeed far lower than the overall average level of the 70,000 subordinate civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. They are holding back the 70,000 subordinate subordinate officials of the Ming Dynasty!!!
Such subordinate officials should indeed be dismissed!!!
After seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all agreed with what he said, Yan Changqing nodded with satisfaction and continued:
"In order to improve the overall work efficiency of Ming Dynasty officials, make the national machinery of Ming Dynasty run better, and enable Ming Dynasty's national policies, policy systems, etc. to be implemented more quickly in various places."
"So in addition to rewards and commissions, we also need to conduct performance appraisals of Ming Dynasty officials and implement the last elimination system!!!"
Prince Zhu Biao immediately asked enthusiastically:
“What is the performance appraisal and last elimination system?!!”
Yan Changqing smiled and said:
"The so-called performance appraisal and last elimination system are actually similar to the current three-year Beijing inspection and major plans of the Ministry of Personnel."
After Yan Changqing said the words "Beijing Chao Plan", Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes immediately understood the concept of the elimination system for the bottom of the performance appraisal.
For the assessment of officials, there were already relevant systems in place during the Hongwu period, namely the Beijing Inspection and the Great Plan.
Among them, the Jingchao mainly assesses officials from the capital, while the Grand Plan mainly assesses local foreign officials.
During the Hongwu period, it was stipulated that the exam should be taken every three years, but later it was changed to every ten years.
Jingchao mainly uses the "four grids" and "eight methods" to determine the promotion or demotion of an official.
Among them, the "four patterns" are: Shou, Zheng, Cai, Nian.
Shou represents conduct and can be divided into integrity, fairness and corruption.
Zheng, representing government affairs, is divided into diligent, flat and lazy.
Talent is divided into long, average and short.
Year refers to age, divided into young, middle and old.
Each box is classified into three grades according to its performance: competence, diligence and service. Those ranked first will have priority in being appointed as foreign officials.
The "eight dharma" are: greed, cruelty, inaction, carelessness, old age, illness, impetuousness, and weak talent.
After the eight-way assessment, those found to be "careless" and "soft" will be dismissed from their posts; those who are "impetuous" and "untalented" will be demoted; those who are "old" and "sick" will be ordered to retire.
The purpose of the existence of the capital inspection and planning system is to reward the good and punish the bad, so that officials at all levels can fulfill their duties and contribute to national governance.
However, precisely because it involves the rewards and punishments of officials, the phenomenon of party formation such as favoritism and fraud is very obvious.
[Executives often have a reputation for being generous and lenient. In each Beijing inspection, only a few people are dismissed. They only make up for the story, and the rest are good-looking, and those who are impeached are inevitably unjust. 】
What I am talking about is the Beijing-Inspection System in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Beijing-Inspection System was basically useless and had already lost its due function of evaluating officials, rewarding the good and punishing the bad.
"However, in my opinion, the current three-year Beijing inspection is still too mild and does not really play its due role in evaluating officials, rewarding the good and punishing the bad."
"The Ming Dynasty will conduct regular inspections of officials at all levels, and set clear deadlines for completing everything they do."
"We must set limits for things to be tested and hold people accountable based on things. This is a good official evaluation system!"
"For example, the Sixth Ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate assign matters assigned by the imperial court to their respective officials, set deadlines, and record them in three account books."
"."One copy was kept by the Sixth Department and the Imperial Procuratorate, the other was sent to the Sixth Section, and the last one was presented to the emperor."
"The six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will register according to the account books and conduct inspections on a monthly basis."
"Every time one is completed, one will be registered, and the official who completes the best and fastest will be given a corresponding reward commission."
"On the contrary, you must report truthfully, otherwise you will be convicted and punished."
"Similarly, the Sixth Section can also require the Sixth Department to report the implementation status every quarter, or every six months, and violators will be discussed and dealt with in limited cases.
"Finally, the emperor can also verify the inspection work of the six subjects."
"This has formed a complete set of official performance evaluation mechanisms with the emperor commanding the supervisory agency, the supervisory agency supervising the six ministries of the central government, and the six ministries commanding all civil and military officials and local officials."
"In this performance appraisal mechanism, if officials above the seventh rank have not received a reward share within one consecutive year.
"Then the next year, they will be immediately downgraded by a small level, such as from the first grade to the first grade, the second grade to the second grade, etc."
"If you have not received a reward share for two consecutive years, then you will be downgraded by one level the following year, for example, from the first grade to the second grade, from the local grade to the second grade.
"If you have not received a reward share for three consecutive years, then you will be downgraded by two levels the following year, such as from level two to level four, from level four to level six, etc."
"If you have not received a reward share for four consecutive years, then it will be reduced to the seventh level in the next year!!!" (Qian Zhaozhao)
"If you have not received a reward share within five consecutive years, then no matter what position you hold, you will be dismissed immediately!!!"
"Officials below the seventh rank will be subject to a three-year period. If they do not receive any reward share within three years, they will be dismissed immediately!! Transfer!"
"This is the so-called last-place elimination system!!!"
"Of course, if there is elimination at the bottom, there will naturally be advancement."
"Similarly, for example, depending on how many times an official receives a reward share within a year, he or she can upgrade his or her official position by a small level in the coming year."
"The more reward shares you receive, the faster the officer will be promoted!!!"
"Of course, what I just mentioned are just examples. It doesn't matter whether the rewards and punishments I mentioned are implemented in detail."
"As long as His Majesty and Your Highnesses can generally understand the meaning of performance appraisal, that's fine."
Yan Changqing combined Zhang Juzheng's examination method, combined with the reward sharing system, as well as the final performance appraisal system of the last elimination system, promotion system and promotion system in later generations, and explained them all in one go.
