Chapter 814: Overcoming disadvantages and creating advantages
Qin Zhongtang received a lot of respect, and when he came out of the Hanlin Academy, he was really proud of himself.
For a target responsibility system like the Kao Cheng Law, others may value "responsibility" more and only think of it as a supervisory tool, playing the role of a supervisor.
Some people who judge a gentleman with a villain's heart only think that Qin Dewei uses "supervision" as a means to fight for power.
But Qin Dewei actually values "goals" more, because he knows the future trends better than anyone else at the moment and understands the role of "goals" better.
The work records submitted by the officials of each yamen are actually equivalent to the plans, and the approval of the plans can deeply affect the work arrangements of each yamen.
In this way, some of the prophetic advantages of the time travelers can be used as much as possible, and various yamen can be guided to set correct goals, so as to achieve the purpose of gradual improvement and correction.
Qin Dewei doesn't know what the situation will be in the end. Travelers are not omnipotent. If they do a little bit, they should be better than the original time and space.
Anyway, if you don't live short, you will have at least several decades of political life left, and you can take your time on many things.
When Qin Dewei returned home, he saw the whole family waiting for him. After being locked up for more than ten days, the backbone of the family finally came back, and the family could finally relax.
After inspecting all the rooms, Mr. Qin returned to the main room and calculated that it was less than a month before Xu Xian's wife gave birth.
Xu Miaoxuan joked: "I thought you would go to the ancestral hall to show your merits. This time you went to heaven and prison for the fairy. Is it possible that the fairy still refuses to be moved and let go?"
While the couple was talking, Xu Miaoxuan felt sleepy first. Master Qin sent his wife to sleep, but he was not sleepy at all, so he came to the study again.
The stepfather next door, Mr. Zeng, came across the house and wanted to talk to his cheap son. However, he saw Qin Dewei writing calmly, and suddenly felt a little relieved.
Normally, when faced with such a great victory and high spirits, Qin Dewei would often act arrogant and arrogant.
But this time Qin Dewei was able to calm down and write. He was really mature and made great progress compared to before.
Zeng's father came closer and saw clearly that Qin Dewei had written a quatrain.
He looked carefully and found that these four sentences were: "Sitting alone in the pond is like a tiger crouching, nourishing the spirit under the shade of the tree. If I don't speak first when spring comes, no insect will dare to make a sound."
Zeng’s stepfather: “.”
He retracted his previous comment and turned around to leave.
Qin Dewei hurriedly shouted: "What do you want me to advise you?"
Zeng Hou's father said without looking back: "Nothing!"
Qin Dewei added: "Then I have something to say! Master, you are also the fourth grade, and you happen to be in Beijing. Don't forget to hand in a resignation letter! Lest others say that my son is partial and make things difficult for me!"
Later, Qin Dewei looked at the quatrains he had written and couldn't help but sigh softly. Such a good poem could not be published, so he could only secretly write it at home and feel happy.
How appropriate and appropriate!
The next day, Qin Zhongtang put on his official uniform again. It was a third-grade official uniform, which was enough.
Fang You, a member of the Zhongshu House, greeted Qin Zhongtang outside the gate to go to work, and when he followed him, he found that Qin Zhongtang did not enter the palace to go to Wenyuan Pavilion, but instead went around to the Five Departments.
"Where are we going in the middle hall?" Fang Sheren asked quickly for instructions.
Qin Dewei replied simply and clearly: "Go to the Ministry of Industry first!"
Fang Sheren hesitated and advised: "Isn't this bad? Others will think that Zhongtang is seizing power again."
Qin Dewei asked: "If you tell the truth, why do others think so?"
Fang Sheren replied with unfaithful advice: "First, Zhongtang is on the verge of winning, and every move he makes will be watched and speculated on. Second, Zhongtang goes to the Ministry of Industry too many times, and it is difficult not to make people think too much."
According to common sense, political disputes often revolve around core powers such as personnel and supervision, and rarely cling to the Ministry of Works. That's why Qin Zhongtang repeatedly goes to the Ministry of Works, which attracts attention.
Qin Dewei sighed: "The heavy responsibility of reform is on our shoulders, and there is a long way to go! I know that I have sinned against me, but it is only in the Spring and Autumn Period that righteousness lies, so I will go!"
At this time, all the court officials had submitted their resignation letters, and only the lieutenants, Yuanwailang, and chiefs were left in each department.
When Qin Zhongtang arrived at the Ministry of Works again, the officials of the Ministry of Works almost cried. Why did Qin Zhongtang hold on to the Ministry of Works?
Obviously the Ministry of Works is a yamen with not very strong political attributes, so we can't let Qin Zhongtang continue to harass us just because the old forces of Yan Ge control the Ministry of Works!
Qin Zhongtang may have visited the Ministry of Industry more often than all other bachelors combined in the past twenty years.
Since there were no equivalent officials to receive him, four doctors from four divisions and seven outside ministers could only go out to greet him, showing courtesy based on their numbers.
Although Qin Zhongtang was a guest, his status was too great, so he took the main seat.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Qin Zhongtang looked around and frowned: "Why is there one person missing?"
The Ministry of Works has four divisions: Yingxiu, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian. There are eight Yuanwailang among the four doctors, for a total of twelve officials, but only eleven of them are present here.
The officials of the Ministry of Industry were speechless. Why did Yan, a member of the camp and maintenance department, stay at home to recuperate from his injuries? Didn't you Qin Zhongtang figure it out yourself?
Master Qin Zhongtang was very excited. After saying something, he stopped worrying about these trivial matters and started talking about the purpose of his visit today: "I think you all know that, and the officials of each department must submit their examination records.
But those gentlemen who hold high positions are usually more pragmatic. Regarding the practical details, I am afraid they have to rely on you, the ministers, to provide them.
Therefore, I will first come to listen to what you have compiled and what you have to provide to the superiors."
Everyone in the Ministry of Industry looked at each other. Even if you, Qin Zhongtang, wanted to take care of this matter, it would be too early to intervene, right?
Do the departments need to provide some internal work information to the ministers and ministers, and you, Qin Zhongtang, need to come and check it first?
Even if the bachelor extends his hand outwards, he does not stretch his hand so far! This is not just a pre-mechanical service, it is simply a pre-mechanical service!
Faced with other people's doubts, Qin Zhongtang did not get angry, and explained in an amiable and stern manner: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I, Mr. Qin, am nosy.
I am really worried that if the examination results submitted by each department are unqualified, and if I return them impartially, my face will not look good!
So I thought of coming over to provide on-site guidance so that your Ministry of Works would not prepare the manual in vain!"
As the saying goes, the first level of official rank is overwhelming, not to mention that Qin Zhongtang is many levels higher than Langguan, and there are at least Shangshu and Shilang in between.
Therefore, the officials in the Ministry of Industry had no choice but to be forced to report to Qin Zhongtang.
In fact, from the perspective of compiling the examination booklet, it is relatively easy for the Ministry of Industry.
Because a lot of work in the Ministry of Industry, such as civil engineering, equipment manufacturing and other matters, has traditionally required strong planning and complete data statistics. You can just change the format and copy it into the booklet.
But after Qin Dewei listened to the work reports of each department, he commented: "They are all things that follow the rules and have nothing new! If it is just these, then any ninth-grade official can do it, so why do we need you!"
An official from the Ministry of Industry asked: "If you have any new ideas, please tell me!"
Qin Dewei said: "My idea of governing is just four words: to eliminate disadvantages and create advantages! Do you just turn a blind eye to the disadvantages of your Ministry of Industry?"
Everyone in the Ministry of Industry was shocked when they heard this. It doesn't matter whether there are drawbacks or not. They have been here for so many years. The main thing is that Qin Dewei said that he is in power which is more surprising.
The word "in power" now generally refers to Mr. Yan Ge, to show that Mr. Yan Ge has more power than Chief Zhai, but Qin Zhongtang actually claims to be in power today?
Qin Dewei seemed to have guessed everyone's thoughts and took the initiative to explain: "Don't misunderstand anything, Mr. Yan Ge's ruling is a noun, and the ruling I just mentioned is a verb, which means that I am currently presiding over government affairs!"
Then Qin Zhongtang spoke again: "Let's talk about the number of craftsmen in the capital. Compared with a hundred years ago, why are there less than one in ten? Don't just say that too many craftsmen have fled. What is the underlying reason? How should it be solved?"
There are fewer and fewer craftsmen in the capital. This is a commonplace problem. Officials from the Ministry of Industry do not think there is anything special about Qin Zhongtang's suggestion.
But then he heard Qin Zhongtang turn and continue: "But the opposite is true in other provinces. As time goes by, the number of craftsmen in each province has multiplied and multiplied. In fact, the number of people has been increasing, but the imperial court still recruits people according to the number of households!
This resulted in an increase in the number of craftsmen, but no change in the government’s profits!
In other words, the population of craftsmen has increased significantly but it is useless and the increase has been in vain. Is this reasonable?"
This is the first time for many officials from the Ministry of Industry to hear about this issue.
Qin Dewei concluded: "This is the situation, this is the problem, and you still want to turn a blind eye?
I just said that now that the astronomical phenomenon is warning us, we must change the disadvantages and create advantages! The problem of craftsmen is the biggest disadvantage of your Ministry of Industry at present. You should think carefully about how to change it!"
Someone bravely questioned: "Even if it is written into the bottom level of the examination, it will definitely be difficult to improve within a year."
Qin Dewei responded: "If it doesn't work in one year, it will take three years. If it doesn't work in three years, it will take five years. If it doesn't work in five years, there will be ten years!"
The important thing is to start doing something, even if it’s just to start studying the problem! Rather than sitting back and watching and letting the problem continue to develop!”
After Qin Zhongtang finished his lesson and left, officials from the Ministry of Works reluctantly sent him out.
Standing outside the gate, looking at Qin Zhongtang's back, someone whispered: "Qin Zhongtang came to the Ministry of Industry just to find a soft persimmon.
Our Ministry of Industry does not speak harshly and is easy to handle, so even if something goes wrong, he does not need to bear much responsibility."
Everyone agreed that if something went wrong in the "miscellaneous" affairs of the Ministry of Industry, except for the Xiyuan Project under the emperor's nose, Qin Dewei could handle it without much public reaction.
Compared with other ministries nearby, which ministry is more "sensitive" than the Ministry of Industry? Once a problem occurs, it will arouse public opinion and even lead to catastrophic consequences.
Probably this is the reason why Qin Dewei ran to the Ministry of Industry! Without it, it would be easy to establish authority and the consequences would be light!
While the officials of the Ministry of Works were lamenting and feeling sorry for themselves, they saw Qin Dewei walking a few steps and standing outside the gate of the Ministry of War next door.
Similarly, the Ministry of War also had a large number of doctors, and Yuanwailang came out to greet them.
Qin Dewei said loudly: "I am here today to see how the affairs of your Ministry of War are compiled, so as not to hand in an unqualified examination record and make Senior Wang lose face!"
The officials from the Ministry of Industry next door suddenly regained their psychological balance. It turned out that it was not because the Ministry of Industry was easy to bully! Qin Zhongtang was an indiscriminate map cannon!
After entering the Ministry of War, there are no tigers in the mountain, and Qin Zhongtang is the biggest.
After listening to the reports from various departments of the Ministry of War, Qin Dewei emphasized again: "My idea of governing is just four words: to eliminate disadvantages and create advantages! But what you reported is routine affairs, and there is no in-depth reform to target the disadvantages!"
The officials of the Ministry of War were probably more influenced by Wang Tingxiang, so they naturally answered: "I wonder if there is any guidance from the central hall?"
Qin Dewei said: "How many officers and soldiers are there in the Beijing camp? How many are capable of actual combat? Do those in charge of the camp know anything about soldiers?"
The officers of the Ministry of War quickly said: "Let's change the Zhongtang to another one that has accumulated a lot of disadvantages!"
Even if you, Qin Zhongtang, want to play with the three pillars of power, don't engage in the Beijing camp yet! The water here is deep and muddy, involving hundreds of thousands of military households and hundreds of noble families. If something goes wrong, you really can't handle it.
.
After Qin Zhongtang tried his best, he followed the good example and changed his direction: "Then let's talk about the garrison and battalion officer system in Bian Town!
According to my observations in Liaodong, Xuanda and other places, I found that the battalion officials in various places were completely inconsistent! There were no certain rules even for appointments!
The generals and above are all appointed by the court, but the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief, the management team and other battalion officers all work in their own camps! Some are appointed by the court, some are appointed by the general, and some are appointed by the governor. The command system is in chaos!
Not only the battalion officers, but also the battalion soldiers are different, so shouldn’t your Ministry of War vigorously reform and straighten out the nine-sided battalion officer and battalion soldier system, and at least achieve unified standards?”
The officers of the Ministry of War immediately agreed: "This is possible! As long as Qin Zhongtang supports it, we will naturally try our best to promote it!"
Everyone can see that no matter what, Qin Zhongtang must "remove disadvantages and create advantages"! So it is serious to find someone who "accumulates disadvantages" and agree to it, and send Qin Zhongtang away quickly!
Qin Zhongtang saw that the officers of the Ministry of War had such a correct attitude towards the reform, and suddenly he became interested again. He sat firmly and continued: "There are still many other long-standing disadvantages. Your Ministry of War can take a bigger step and be a pioneer in eliminating disadvantages and creating benefits.
.
For example, your geographical map is very flawed, and the map of the outer sea is too undetailed! The French invaded Guangdong twenty years ago, and you are still not vigilant? In recent years, the number of Japanese pirates has increased, and the sea will be troubled in the future.
, charts must be drawn carefully!”
"Ah, yes." The officers of the Ministry of War continued to agree,
Every man has a military dream. Qin Zhongtang said even more enthusiastically: "Also, the coastal defense system is no longer adapted to the current situation!
The first is to learn how to build large ships, which can be learned from the Francois! The second is to form a fleet of warships! But this cannot be done by scattered guards, they must be reformed!"
Officers from the Ministry of War: "."
Qin Zhongtang, you are just a temporary ruler. Don't overestimate your capabilities. You are not the chief assistant and the minister of the Ministry of War! Reforms that are too radical will be counterattacked!
I can't change the rhythm of coding for a while. I won't sleep tonight. I will continue to write in order to make up for the update. Anyway, nucleic acid at 4:30 in the morning...
