Chapter 21 The Disadvantages of the Official Selection System
Lin Zheyun and Pei both fell ill. It was just excessive sadness and cold caused by fatigue.
However, although there was a doctor to see the doctor, there was no medicine to take, and there was no good environment to cultivate the body. After a few days of lingering together, the two people's condition became more and more serious.
The sixteen Buqu who were seriously injured while escaping from the city also died one after another due to the harsh conditions on Mount Lu and the lack of sufficient medicinal materials for treatment.
Above the Dew Mountain, there was a gloomy cloud.
Eight days have passed, and none of the three tribes sent down by Emperor Lin Zhihuang to report the news to Ku County have returned.
Half of the food he had brought up the mountain had been consumed. It was not a good idea to sit back and eat nothing, so Lin Zhihuang had no choice but to take another risk and send Bilie down the mountain to find out the news.
Billie dressed as a refugee and wandered at the foot of Lushan Mountain for a day. He finally got a lot of information from the people passing by Lushan who were fleeing for safety.
It turned out that just three days ago, Chu Dalang, the self-proclaimed general of the sky, had marched to Ku County. Before he could reach the gate of Ku County, the magistrate of Ku County opened the city gate and surrendered.
The magistrate of Ku County was frightened by General Chongtian's hanging of heads at the gate of Xi County. He was really afraid that he would be the next one to have his head hanged.
The magistrate of Ku County, in order to save his body and body, actually opened the city gates and surrendered before the rebels arrived in Ku County.
After General Chongtian was introduced into the city, he did not let go of the Kuxian magistrate. His head was still hung on the city wall outside Kuxian City. The wealthy squires in Kuxian City were also manipulated by Chu Dalang and did not escape. Such a tragic end.
All the wealth accumulated by the wealthy gentry in Ku County fell into the hands of this soaring general.
Lin Zhihuang never expected that things would turn out this way, and that one of her letters would cause the magistrate of Ku County to surrender early instead of preparing to defend the enemy as early as possible!
She actually inadvertently gave this soaring general a help in siege? Lin Zhihuang was about to vomit to death.
After this incident, Lin Zhihuang was completely disappointed with the quality of officials in the Daji Dynasty.
Compared with the magistrate of Ku County, Lin Zhihuang found that Lin Zheyun's official qualities were relatively high. At least he had noticed something wrong before the refugee unrest occurred and took a series of remedial measures, such as asking Haofu The squire raised food, such as regulating food prices, and training soldiers. In the end, there was no result. To protect Mingzhe, he thought of abandoning the city and fleeing.
And the magistrate of Kuxian County really only cares about his own life, regardless of the death of others, and surrenders and flatters himself in order to protect himself. Who would have thought that this general soaring to the sky would not follow the common sense and act out his cards, taking the city as he wishes and killing the people as he wishes!
Credit? What is credit? How can a disloyal and unjust person who dares to rebel tell you anything about credit?
The magistrate of Kuxian County must have played too much with the aristocratic family's tricks. He thought that everyone in the world would play the surrender-without-killing trick with them. It was okay for people from the gentry class who had the same rules and routines. But for a rural rebel, he would Telling you this is not a traitor, he will only start from his own likes and dislikes.
The magistrate of Ku County is absolutely stupid. When this stupid person becomes an official, he not only harms himself, but also harms others. The bigger the official becomes, the more people he will harm.
Daji has been developing for nearly two hundred years and has established a complete set of official selection systems for selecting talents, including the inspection system and the recruitment system.
Chaju is an election. It is a system that selects talents as officials from the bottom up. It is the most important way for Daji to select officials. In the early days, the Chaju system was based on "rural election" and focused on the opinion of the village public opinion on a certain person. The authority of the judgment of scholars’ virtues and talents.
Originally, this system was used well in the early days, and the officials selected were all outstanding. However, later on, when the official selection system became increasingly decadent, there emerged wealthy families who have been officials for generations and have controlled central or local political power.
As a result, a number of aristocratic landowners were formed and developed. The Lin family, a second-class aristocratic family where Emperor Lin Zhihuang belonged to, was one of them that developed in this way.
The other kind of recruitment system is a top-down system for selecting officials. There are two main methods: recruitment by the emperor and recruitment by the government and removal by prefectures and counties. Recruitment by the emperor adopts the method of characteristics and recruitment, and selects certain qualified officials.
Famous people with good morals and academics may be appointed as consultants or appointed as political officials.
This system of selecting officials has developed to this day, and these officials are all descendants of the gentry, with no real talent or knowledge. This is the harm caused by the selection of officials under the inspection and recruitment system.
Lin Zhihuang wanted to get through the customs and knocked her forehead in frustration. She did something stupid and overestimated the quality of these officials.
If you know your mistakes and can correct them, even if you gain something, Lin Zhihuang will never do such stupid things next time.
When she takes control of a political power, she must first get rid of the imperial examination system. Otherwise, if she has a group of people like this, she will lose the city behind just as she conquers the city in front of her! Otherwise, as they say, it is easier to conquer the world than to defend it.
Is it difficult? This is the importance of talent and management.
