Chapter 216 Is there such a brave man among the Han army?
Liu Bei knew very well that after many years of hard work, the number of officials in the imperial court who were able and willing to do things had greatly improved, but at the moment, there were still a lot of people who were just trying to make ends meet.
If this situation does not change, the big man will not be able to truly save the situation.
He discovered this as early as in Liangzhou, so he reformed the original accounting system in Liangzhou and implemented a system of regularly and quantitatively eliminating unqualified officials. The elimination system was implemented for officials who were unable to complete the set tasks.
Remove them from their positions and replace them with capable people.
The Shangji system is a good system. It has been implemented by Qin and Wei during the Warring States Period. The Qin and Han Dynasties further innovated the system.
Every year, the county must report to the court information on household registration and finance, prison management and punishment of thieves, clan names, border garrison conditions, geographical administration, and encouraging students to teach farming and mulberry fields. The situation must be updated every year, and then the court will make a judgment.
, generally there are six methods of reward and punishment: migration, demotion, transfer, migration, entry and exit, and migration.
In essence, this is also a kind of KPI, but there is no specific compliance line or danger line. Although there are frequent cases of favoritism and fraud, overall it still has a strong deterrent effect on local governments.
However, with the gradual decline of imperial power and the decline of the emperor's ability to govern, the deterrent effect of the Shangji system is also constantly declining.
In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the emperor personally accepted the suggestions from county officials and dealt with them personally, which was a great deterrent.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Da Situ was initially in charge. Later, it was gradually turned into the responsibility of Shangshutai. The rank of Shangshutai was only 600 shi, which had little impact on the local area. This change also showed the gradual change of the central court.
Powerless.
By the time Liu Bei was an intern at Shangshutai, Lu Zhi pointed out that the Shangsi system had gradually become superficial, and the reporting to county and state officials and the court's review had become increasingly formalized, losing the original meaning of the Shangsi system.
So after Liu Bei came to power in Liangzhou, he designed his own system with reference to the above system, and he was deeply involved. He also strengthened review and supervision, and used faster punishment efficiency to increase the deterrence of this system.
After a period of operation, the system implemented in Liangzhou fixed some unreasonable details and made the entire system more perfect. Then it took root in Liangzhou officialdom and has been operating very well over the years.
It is correct to say that this is a brand new accounting system. The tasks he assigned to Liangzhou, the KPIs he set for Liangzhou, and the expectations he placed on Liangzhou were all fulfilled by the Liangzhou government.
This was the feeling he had after the first batch of the most capable officials were transferred to the land of Sanfu and Sanhe in large numbers.
"Since the implementation of the above-mentioned accounting system, there have been too many drawbacks. Officials from various places and court officials mostly regarded it as an errand and ignored it. As a last resort, I implemented the reform in Liangzhou.
After the reform, Liangzhou officials' execution was so strong that I have never seen it in other places. Officials in other places can do less and never do more.
In Liangzhou, there is no such problem.
Generally speaking, there is a very bad practice in the official circles of the Han Dynasty, that is, shirking responsibilities. Officials only want to enjoy themselves and do not want to take responsibility. They only want to be honored and not burdened. If this happens more often, the power of the Han Dynasty will decline.
In Liangzhou, we implement a different system. At the beginning of the new year, we formulate the things that need to be done this year based on last year's situation. Everyone gets together and holds a meeting to allocate the things that they need to do.
, we will achieve these goals throughout the year.
Everyone has a task, everyone has a responsibility. The risks associated with each goal are borne by the officials who implement them. If there is a problem with the task, not only the specific executor must be held accountable, but also the specific executor must be held accountable.
To hold Shangguan accountable for why he failed to control risks.
There is a government office in Liangzhou that specifically performs this duty, which is to supervise the officials to complete their tasks. When the officials fail to complete their tasks, they are responsible for reviewing the matter, making it clear, and clarifying whose responsibility it is and whose responsibility it is.
question.
In the past, what all officials were best at was shirking responsibility. When encountering problems, they did not think about solving them, but thought about how to remove their responsibilities, for fear of losing any power. However, they did not learn any lessons afterwards and only thought about further practice and shirk.
The ability to take responsibility.
Now, what I want to tell you is that this era has passed. From now on, the Luoyang court will also implement Liangzhou's new policy, and all the things to be done will be allocated in detail.
take responsibility!"
Liu Bei took a picture of the case in front of him: "From now on, when something happens, the imperial court will not only hold the officials below accountable, but also the officials responsible for the matter. No one can escape! Don't expect to find someone to blame.
It can solve the problem!”
At the state affairs meeting of the four ministers, Liu Bei did not continue to bother with any specific administrative affairs, nor did he continue to create any new implementation projects, but not bothering with state affairs did not mean that he would not bother officials.
He will never stop tormenting officials.
He announced that due to the actual situation and transportation problems of the Han Dynasty, a government affairs distribution meeting could be held once a year in Liangzhou. For the whole world, it was decided to hold it once every three years.
At every national political affairs conference, the governors of various states, governors of various counties and counties, the prime ministers and the core figures of the governing team around them all came to attend the meeting. The meeting was held in the Jiade Hall of the Royal Palace in Luoyang City.
The specific content of the meeting is to discuss the actual development goals that each place needs to achieve in the next stage based on the actual situation across the country, such as grain output, the number of household registrations, the number of collective farms, and other very intuitive data.
Governments from various places need to come to Luoyang with specific data about their jurisdictions. Luoyang will then set a general development goal for these places based on the development indicators of previous years. In the next three years, they will make every effort to develop and sprint towards this goal.
Liu Bei also said that the imperial court's triennial conference is to take care of you. He doesn't want you to be too tired from running around, and gives you more time to do things instead of rushing.
However, at the state level, a county-level meeting needs to be held once a year to formulate a year's plan. The state governor is the main person in charge, and the results of the past year and the development goals for the next year must be informed to Luoyang for reporting.
.
Next, government affairs meetings at the county level should be held every quarter.
Every quarter, the county magistrate and the state minister will hold a government affairs meeting within their jurisdiction. Each county official reports on the development situation of the quarter and the development goals for the next quarter, and informs the county and state officials of the specific situation.
Summarized to the state capital.
Link after link, each link is responsible for the link, and the person in charge of each link must have specific pressure. Without pressure, there will be no motivation. Officials without motivation only know how to mess up, and once the officials mess up, the place will be in bad shape.
, it means something bad.
Considering the state of the Han Empire, a severely underdeveloped place, leaving things rotten is not the right approach, so I would rather make them stressed and lose their hair than let them let them rot.
During this process, Liu Bei also stated that he would build a strong supervision department to monitor the administrative level and results of officials to ensure that no fraud occurs.
When the New Deal was being implemented in Liangzhou, some officials who were unable to keep up with the situation tried to use fraud to get through, causing losses to the local area, and some very bad things happened.
In the end, these things were exposed by the state government's supervision department, they were arrested and the losses were restored, so supervision is very necessary.
This point has been known to all dynasties. The supervision of officials is a matter that all dynasties have attached great importance to. Liu Bei was not the first to do so.
Taking the Han Empire as an example, the position of governor of a state was originally a supervisory official, supervising the prefects and prime ministers of local counties.
At the central level, the Sili Xiaowei is responsible for supervision, and at the local level, the prefectural governor is responsible for supervision, specifically targeting the chiefs of local counties and states to supervise and handle matters.
However, with the increase in population and some more practical situations, the state governors have been stationed locally for longer and longer, and they have gradually developed in the direction of administrative officials.
To this day, everyone has generally agreed that the governor of a state is the administrative official in charge of a state, and that they are not six hundred stones, but two thousand stones.
And they did exist in compliance with the current situation. It was no longer necessary to forcibly change them back to supervisory officials, so Liu Bei accepted this reality.
He officially confirmed that the governor of a state is the chief administrative officer of a state, with a rank of two thousand shi, and is above the prefect of the county. Although he does not have the power to appoint and remove personnel, in terms of specific affairs, the governor of the state is the superior of the prefect and the prime minister.
Therefore, at present, only Sili Xiaowei is still performing the duties of supervisory officials, and the supervisory duties for places outside the Sili area are actually in a state of absence.
Liu Bei plans to entrust this responsibility to Yushitai.
