Chapter 578 About the layout of the bureaucratic system in the future, the more you think about it, the bigger it gets!
The adjustment of the functions of the administrative system cannot be completed in one meeting. The year-end meeting is just to give each department a break in advance so that each department can be mentally prepared. If it can be basically straightened out in one year, the progress is already very fast.
In addition to the adjustment of administrative functions, the cabinet must also prepare to reserve officials for the areas that are about to be restored. There is currently no shortage of seventh- and eighth-level officials at the grassroots level. Tens of thousands of college students need to be resettled every year, including countless in Beizhili and Shandong provinces.
The chief officials of Qianxiang Town can be transferred to the restored counties and prefectures as receiving officials, and both quantity and quality can be guaranteed. There is not a shortage of fourth- and fifth-grade prefecture-level officials, and there are quite a few magistrate-level and county-level officials, as well as central government officials.
Send some officials down.
What is most lacking is the important ministers at the governor level. The longest tenure of the new-style bureaucrats is only seven or eight years. Seven or eight years is not enough to train the second- and third-grade feudal officials!
Administrative officials are different from military officials. Military officials can basically be qualified for any position in the military as long as they demonstrate qualified military qualities when serving at the brigade level and then serve as division-level officers for a period of time. As long as there is an opportunity
At this point, five or six years is enough time for an officer to grow up.
In ancient and modern times, there are many people who have become top-notch generals in their twenties and thirties, but famous officials in history are rarely particularly young! There is no way, the quality required by officials at different levels is very different. Political literacy
Those who take time to work out and are not tempered enough to suddenly ascend to a high position will often get into trouble because of their immaturity. Especially for the top leaders of the political party, it is too risky to use someone who is not well-educated. As the saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to change.
It is difficult to find a general. In fact, what is more difficult to find than an excellent military general is the administrative leader in charge of a party.
The biggest test for administrative officials is to grasp the scale of implementation and decision-making! For example, the policies formulated by the central court are not good if they are implemented without compromise. They must combine the actual situation on the ground and comprehensively consider the scale. If the scale is not in place,
Either you can't explain it to your superiors, or you can't explain it to your subordinates! The key is that there are no quantitative indicators for this thing, and it is all judged by experience. To put it bluntly, it is the observation and perception of the human heart.
The human heart is the most difficult and complex thing to understand. No matter how talented a person is, it will be difficult to make a clear decision and judge clearly if they are not tempered enough. Human civilization has developed for thousands of years. The administrative problems faced by the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago are different from those today.
There seems to be no essential difference between the Ming Dynasty and subsequent generations hundreds of years later! It is still just nonsense like ethnicity, religion, borders, urban and rural areas, distribution of social wealth, and coordination of different interest groups. It is these nonsense that humans have dealt with.
After thousands of years, who has handled the situation without any mistakes? The so-called good or bad is just that some people and countries have slightly less bad things.
Precisely because there is no absolutely good standard for this thing, the prerequisite for selecting important ministers is to choose those who are likely to make fewer mistakes. What kind of people are likely to make fewer mistakes? We can only use the method of historical empiricism, that is,
I can only reflect on my past experience.
If an official has worked in the post of county magistrate for enough time and has outstanding political achievements, then he will definitely have a lower probability of making big mistakes after becoming a magistrate than someone who has never been an official. Try to avoid insufficient accumulation or failure.
Those who have shouldered the burden should be the local officials who shoulder the burden. This is Zhu Youjian's principle in appointing officials in charge of overall work since his time travel.
The main reason why he had this idea was that before he traveled through time, there was a municipal leader in his hometown who came from the provincial office system. After arriving at the local level, he changed his cautious character when he was an office official in the higher-level department and became a big-tempered person.
Change! The whole person became violent and violent. The place he created was noisy and full of chicken feathers. Not only did he fall into it in the end, but he also left a lot of mess!
With this inherent influence, Zhu Youjian was very disgusted with the unburdened airborne appointment method. If he could not use this method, he would not use it! Later, after learning more about history, Zhu Youjian became more firm on this principle. Anyway, history
Most of the officials who did bad things recorded above were born in Xingchen.
Not having to airborne is not without its disadvantages. There are also risks in using people who have climbed up from the grassroots level step by step!
The first thing is that they don't know anything about themselves as the emperor. Most of the standards they can base their judgment on are information reported from lower levels of government. Who knows how much content there is and how big the interests are involved?
Secondly, coming from the grassroots level, they are inevitably contaminated with the dust of the grassroots level. Every time they take a step forward, they bring a thicker layer of soil. Whether these heavy dusts will eventually submerge their true nature is unknown. So.
Zhu Youjian's understanding of human nature is that most people will eventually be submerged. But fortunately, the base is large enough. If a part of it is submerged, a part of it will be submerged. As long as the people who finally stand at the front can let their nature cover the dirt.
"My Healing Game"
It's hard to be a king! It's really not an easy task to find some people with solid nature and sufficient abilities from a complicated situation.
If all aspects go smoothly, at least most of the Central Plains and Shanxi provinces will be liberated by the end of next year. In other words, by the end of next year, at least four or five qualified governors and key officials will have to be reserved. With the existing
It seems really difficult to select the right people for the administrative team.
The governors of Liaodong, Beizhi, and Shandong provinces have all been adjusted in the past year or so. It is too early to make changes next year. At the moment, only Song Quan and the governor of Yunzhong can be adjusted, but even if they are adjusted
The number of people, the number of key governors is still four or five, and the problem still exists.
Fang Yizhi and Liu Lishun are the most qualified people among the new generation of officials. However, Zhu Youjian still has doubts about the use of these two people! He always feels that their promotion speed in recent years is a bit too fast.
, the reason is that the two of them were born. They were not born in the pure new bureaucracy system, but had a strong imperial examination background. Liu Lishun, in particular, was born as a serious scholar. Will their reuse affect the new bureaucracy in the future?
The power of the system?
Most of the current central officials are from the Jinshi system. Zhu Youjian has been trying to add some sand into them to lay a foundation for the future, but there is really not much sand that can be added in. The only big result is that Song Ying was promoted to the cabinet.
The old Song Dynasty is really too old and may not be able to survive this transition period. From the overall situation, the next cabinet must find someone who is not a Jinshi to enter the cabinet. The problem is that there is really no suitable person to fill it.
Get in!
It’s difficult. Just thinking about these things makes one’s head hurt. Being an emperor is really not an easy job!
