"Did the application come to an end?"

"right."

Lu Zhaoling said: "After the recruitment order was issued, it immediately aroused widespread response. So far, there have been fifty-three applicants, and this only includes Beijing and surrounding areas..."

When he talked about the actual situation, he was also shocked.

This number may seem small, but in fact it is already a lot. You must know that only about a hundred people get Jinshi in each scientific examination, and not all of them may become officials.

One hundred people are planned to be called this time, and this is only the first batch. Depending on the situation, there may be several more batches, so a situation like this is a great grace...

Lu Zhaoling spoke again: "The one hundred people planned to be summoned may soon be enough."

"Everyone's identity is subject to strict scrutiny, right?"

"have."

"Well, when there are enough people, I want to meet you in person."

Lu Zhaoling said with a worried look on her face: "It's just that if the personnel are good and bad, they may not be able to be officials, let alone be good officials."

The county magistrate is the head of a county. Although he is a basic official, he is extremely important. If he does it well or not, it can affect a place.

There has never been such a large-scale appointment of officials.

Guan Ning knew Lu Zhaoling's concerns, and he said: "Special treatment is given in special times. After these officials take office, the Ministry of Personnel officials must continue to follow up and pay attention. If they are not suitable, they will be dismissed directly. A one-year assessment period will be set.

Only if you do a good job can you serve for a long time..."

Just recruiting anyone to be an official is inherently risky, but he has already formulated relevant systems to increase the error tolerance rate, and will also provide basic training to these people. You can't just turn a blind eye and not know where to start.

.

"yes."

Now Guan Ning has ascended the throne with force, and with the power of the emperor, he is a man of his word throughout the court.

The mass killing before taking the throne had an effect and shocked many people.

How about those rotten scholars? How about those censors? Now they don’t even dare to fart.

Because this person can really kill people, people call him a tyrant in private, so he has absolute authority and can do whatever he says...

"You're here just in time. I want to talk to you about the local government structure."

The matters discussed by Guan Ning and Lu Zhaoling mainly involved the organizational structure, which is also an area that needs to be reformed.

Dakang's administrative system is divided into three levels, namely counties, prefectures and prefectures.

Take the county-level organizational structure as an example. There is one person who is a county magistrate of the seventh grade, a county magistrate who is a grade eight, a chief minister who is a ninth grade, and a person who is not a classic official.

There are only four official establishments, and in small counties there are even fewer. There is no boss or county magistrate or none at all, and there are also officials, who are not formal officials.

The number of county officials ranges from seven or eight to thirteen or four.

In other words, there are only a few people in charge of a county. The organizational structure is not clear, and there is no specific person in charge of various affairs.

Of course it is enough for a small county, but certainly not for a large county.

Guan Ning is planning to re-divide the administrative areas. After the civil war, there were many places with empty houses and empty houses. Some were affected by the war, and some fled the war... These small counties can be merged together.

Its main purpose is to strengthen the construction of basic administrative regions.

This is crucial. In ancient times, imperial power did not go to the countryside. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away. As the most basic administrative unit, its role is self-evident.

Guan Ning needs to create a situation where the government orders are implemented step by step and the top and bottom lines are effective, so as to ensure that the government orders are passed through.

Only when the foundation is solid can the floors be built high.

Therefore, Guan Ning decided to strengthen administrative construction. On the basis of the original official positions, he established six offices according to the functions of the six imperial ministries to take charge of specific affairs. He then established a Public Security Bureau to be responsible for local security, and then established a Metropolitan Inspector to serve as a disciplinary supervisor.

In this way, the administrative system is improved and more systematic, and it is also part of the reform of the official system.

Guan Ning talked about his ideas with Lu Zhaoling. He had already formulated it and just needed to implement it. Of course, this could not be completed quickly and needed to be done step by step...

He made reforms based on the experience of his previous life and combined with the actual situation, and he was also exploring bit by bit.

However, Guan Ning has great confidence because he has too much experience to learn from and avoid making detours.

Reform is not an easy task, it cannot be rushed, nor can it be accomplished overnight...

Within a few days, the first batch of candidates had reached the number of candidates, a total of one hundred people.

Say too much but not too much, say too little too much.

After the application, inspection, naturalization and other related procedures are completed, they are notified that they will undergo half a month of study, which the Ministry of Civil Affairs calls training.

There was no such process in the past, and most people took up their posts directly. The word training was still a new concept. Out of curiosity, they participated in this pre-job training. It is said that this is the first term coined by His Majesty...

Liang Mingzhi was also a participant in the training. He was among the first to apply. After a series of procedures, he sat here.

This is a spacious hall with long tables and chairs neatly arranged. This environment makes him seem to have returned to the private school he used to have.

Directly opposite is a podium. On the wall behind the podium, there is a horizontal sign with a few large words written on it.

Dakang’s first county magistrate training course.

Everything feels very novel and a brand new experience.

They were all sitting upright. After a while, several people came in and distributed a booklet to each of them.

Liang Mingzhi looked at the book and was slightly stunned. On the cover was written how to be a county magistrate. This was the name of the book, but what shocked him even more was the signature next to the book... Emperor Yuanwu, Guan Ning.

Was this compiled by the new emperor himself?

Liang Mingzhi felt suspicious in his heart. He saw that other people around him had the same expression as him.

While he was stunned, a dignified man with white hair and beard walked in.

Everyone stood up subconsciously. Looking at his official uniform, he could tell his rank. The person coming was a second-grade official.

This was their first time seeing such a high-ranking official, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

"Sit down."

When his voice sounded, everyone sat down.

"I am Lu Zhaoling, the Minister of Civil Affairs. You will be studying for fifteen days."

Lu Zhaoling said solemnly: "Learn how to be a good county magistrate."

It turned out to be the Minister of Civil Affairs, and many people were amazed inwardly.

Regardless of whether he can become a county magistrate or not, meeting an official of this level is a worthwhile trip.

At this time, Lu Zhaoling continued: "The content you want to study is the book distributed to you just now. You must have noticed that this book was compiled by His Majesty!"

There was a sound of gasping.

The new emperor compiled it himself. If this book is kept at home, it can be regarded as a family heirloom.

However, they were even more shocked that His Majesty would compile such a book. Looking at the name, they knew that this was His Majesty's request.

"After these fifteen days of study, you will be tested. Those who fail will not be able to take office."
Chapter completed!
