At this moment, Li Er's face was filled with excitement. He really wanted to step forward and take a closer look at what was inside this wise brother's head.
"I'm just a good brother, but in some official positions or other positions, those officials have already firmly controlled me.
You think this court can't just eliminate them for no reason, right?
If it is removed at will, it will disgrace everyone."
“Who said we should eliminate people for no reason?
Do you know what performance appraisal is?
You can set up a performance department and system.
Every position must have its own assessment standards.
For example, in this county managed by Lao Song, this year's assessment standard is to ensure that the people can have food.
What kind of life can the people live?
Is anyone oppressing the people? How are cases handled in the court?
What kind of rewards will you get if you can meet the standards?
What kind of punishment will you receive if you fail to meet the standards?"
Magistrate Song's expression tightened. Mr. Zhao's method was too cruel.
If this is not achieved, many officials will definitely do fake things for the sake of their official positions.
Just when I came up with this idea, I saw His Majesty on the side already starting to ask questions.
"Brother, this method is inappropriate.
If you go by what you mean, there must be many ministers who will commit fraud during this period.
If they fail to meet the standards, they will all be punished."
Zhao Mu smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Actually, Lao Li, I also know what you are talking about, such as deception and deceit.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even in later generations, hundreds and thousands of years later, he would always commit fraud wherever there was benefit.
It is absolutely impossible to achieve a complete solution.
And what we can do is try to reduce the occurrence of this kind of thing.
Therefore, this performance value also needs to be flexible. For example, this year, plague, floods, and floods occurred in this county.
If you still take the approach before anything happens.
Even if the King of Heaven comes, I will definitely die.
Under special circumstances, special measures must be taken. After all, ordinary people have sharp eyes.
There must be no scapegoating system. If officials do not do well, they should be dealt with directly. If you have nothing to do with the officials, don't ask others to take the blame.
A large part of those officials lied to others because they were afraid of taking the blame.
In addition to this, imperial envoys can also be arranged to conduct inspections throughout the world.
After arriving at a place, start investigating the local people, so that you can understand the situation there.
If we want to prevent the imperial envoy from being bribed, Li Er can only find a way to solve these matters by himself."
After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he took a few more bites of side dishes.
"Actually, this so-called imperial examination is just a general term.
There are still many specific regulations for implementation.”
"Brother, please tell us more."
Zhao Mu also became interested and told a series of things about future scientific examinations, from setting questions to transporting them, to taking the exam, and how to approve a series of things after the exam.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty at this moment did not have modern technologies.
I took advantage of the situation and made some constructive suggestions.
If the imperial examination was implemented in the Tang Dynasty, what measures would be needed, including what should be paid attention to after these measures were implemented? Li Er sat aside and began to write down these things carefully.
Afraid that I would not be able to remember it alone, I took advantage of the situation and glanced at the county magistrate sitting beside me, giving him a look.
The county magistrate understood it instantly and remembered it in his heart.
Li Er talked about all these things nonstop and added some new suggestions of his own. Li Er was excited and excited when he listened.
After I go back, I must find all the ministers and call them together to discuss it carefully.
"My dear brother, let me tell you, what if the imperial examination system you mentioned was used by His Majesty?
It will definitely be able to completely suppress the clan clan.
As long as they gradually lose their rights and become marginalized, we will definitely be able to deal with them by then."
"Huh, remember one thing, don't treat all the clan members as fools.
Do you think that after the imperial examination system was adopted, those gentry children would not be able to understand the little tricks Li Er did?
If some of their core interests were really touched, those clan members might do some bad things.
There is even a possibility of rebellion.
Therefore, remember, when necessary, violent institutions, that is, the military, must be used to suppress.
He, Li Er, was a military general, and the group of generals who followed him were all trained with him.
The first method can also be a top-down purge using the military.
Of course, it is also important to create an army that fully obeys his orders."
Um, that's right.
I was very excited at first, but it suddenly dropped a few points.
In the army, some of the officers and soldiers he arranged were from noble families and held important positions in the army.
It would be strange if they were allowed to take up arms and target their own families instead of rebelling.
He could, through the imperial examination system, recruit some literati and place them in the court.
But in the army, I can't bring in all the personnel from the imperial examination system, right?
"Remember, Wen You took the imperial examination, and Wu of course also took the martial arts examination.
By holding martial arts competitions, talented generals are selected among the troops and among the people.
If you are capable and talented, you can be directly promoted to general.
Those with average strength can be made deputy generals, and those with weaker strength can be made captains below.
If his strength is average, he can start as a soldier.
In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, the world was in strife.
He, Han Xin, had not made any great achievements at that time, but he, Liu Bang, did not stick to one pattern, appointed Han Xin as a general, and won several wars.
When competing with Chu for hegemony, he defeated Xiang Yu in one round.
The establishment of the martial arts competition gives everyone in this group of soldiers equal opportunities.
If the capable ones live there, then there will be more talented people in this army.
Li Er can also place these talents in the team. Who do you think these talents will be loyal to?
Besides, this man will grow old one day.
Through this kind of military examination and imperial examination, a large number of outstanding young talents were selected.
Cultivate them to be loyal and patriotic to the Tang Dynasty, so as to serve the Tang Dynasty.
With a steady stream of talents, for Datang, why not worry about becoming more prosperous?"
The things mentioned today made Li Er's brain feel like it was buzzing.
I didn't expect that I came here today to discuss business matters.
By the way, let’s talk about what happened on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Who knew that while chatting, I would get so many important secrets?
Sure enough, if you have any questions, you have to ask Xiandi, he is too capable.
With that said, Li Er raised his wine glass.
"Brother, I, Lao Li, have to toast you two more cups.
What you said tonight is truly breathtaking.
Let me tell you, after you entered the imperial court, you were so high-ranking that the emperor made you a prime minister.
It's just a pity that you don't have the will in that regard, that's all, let's not mention it, come to Lao Song, dear brother, let's eat and drink again."
