Seeing Ma Qi and the twelfth elder brother coming over, the ninth elder brother hurriedly got up.
"Master Jiu..."
Although Ma Qi is a bachelor, he acts very respectfully.
When he was in front of the emperor, Brother Jiu didn't avoid it. Now that there was no one else around, he immediately avoided it.
"Why are you here?"
Brother Jiu quickly returned the gift with some questions.
Ma Qi glanced at the twelfth elder brother and said: "I want to come over and listen to Master Jiu's talk about the creation of additional ministers in charge of the academy and ministers on duty."
The ninth elder brother asked Ma Qi to sit down and served tea, and then he asked the twelfth elder brother to sit down with him.
It was an excuse that he thought of temporarily this morning, but when the twelfth brother went out for a while, he also thought about it.
Now that Ma Qi asked, he said: "It is still because of the "nest" in the Accounting Department. Although the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also floating officials, they actually have the intention of being worldly officials, which can easily lead to disadvantages. The total of these yamen
Thousands of people are not something that just a few imperial censors from the Ministry of Internal Affairs can keep an eye on. It is very easy for each department to encircle territory. I thought of the previous prince’s supervision of the ministry..."
"In this way, the minister in charge of the court and the minister on duty will keep an eye on it, and then it will be better to directly hold the individual accountable..."
"Even if there are old accumulations, don't be afraid. If you find out who was in charge that year, you can still find the person who made the oversight..."
"It is also to prevent the Imperial Household Office's elite families from collaborating. I checked the old archives of the Household Office. Every time I was inspected in Beijing, officials from the House of Representatives were rarely dismissed. It's just that the evaluation of the chief officers is just a joke. Favors are connected with favors.
, most of them are superficial, turning the Ministry of Internal Affairs into a stagnant pool of water..."
"Introducing the ministers of the Academy and the ministers on duty, in the future, the Beijing inspection and evaluation will not be the doctor of each department. Maybe it will be more fair..."
Ma Qi looked at Jiu Age's appearance with his chest full of bamboo, and was surprised in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
It is very valuable that I mentioned this for no other reason than because of the corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Ma Qi pondered: "The manpower of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been customized for a long time. If the minister of management is added, this expense..."
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "Isn't there regulations in the imperial court? Officials holding concurrent positions are subject to the highest grade. Just like teachers, they receive the salary of a bachelor. However, the hard work of the ministers in charge of the academy will not be in vain. The annual compensation is
Carbon supplements are still available..."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is different from other yamen.
In the six yamen of the former dynasty, local governors sent "Bing Jing" and "Tan Jing" to Beijing, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not involve the outer dynasty and local governments.
Even if the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs outside send their families back to Beijing, they still go to the general office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and do not need to go to the Yamen to get another copy.
Therefore, Ninth Brother thinks that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can pay for this by itself, and there is not much in total. If the money is increased, everything will be available.
Ma Qi glanced at Brother Jiu.
Everyone knows that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is rich, and if there is a subsidy, it will definitely not be much less than the regular salary.
This is good, otherwise, the concurrent job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be a favor to the officials, but a punishment.
Nowadays, Ninth Prince is running the Ministry of Internal Affairs very well. The more he does this, the more he has to guard against criticism.
Ma Qi nodded and said, "Master Jiu has thought about it carefully, but I don't want to write the book in a hurry. Master Jiu can think about it more carefully first, and wait for the servant to ask for permission before talking about anything else."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu immediately nodded and said, "Excuse me, teacher. I'll wait for the teacher's news."
Ma Qi couldn't help but glance at Brother Twelve again.
The twelfth elder brother sat under the ninth elder brother and acted like a silent gourd.
The ninth elder brother noticed that Ma Qi was looking at the twelfth elder brother and said hurriedly: "I was just about to tell the teacher. Since I studied "Book of Rites" with the teacher, I discovered my shortcomings and made great progress. They were all carefully taught by the teacher.
Because, the twelfth elder brother is diligent in running errands and is more promising than I was in the past few years. But he is slow to talk, which also makes people worry. You can't just sit in the room with official documents and ignore people. You have to learn to deal with people. In this situation
Next, what homework should I make up for?"
Ma Qi glanced at Brother Jiu, did he get the news?
Brother Ninth Brother has made great progress in the past two years, but what does it have to do with the "Book of Rites"?
I left my homework, but did Brother Jiu do it?
I don’t know who copied the books and wrote the articles, it’s just you trying to trick me, and I’m trying to trick you.
Brother Jiu also looked back at Ma Qi, looking like a good brother.
The twelfth elder brother still said nothing, but his face turned a little red.
He doesn’t want to make up any homework!
Ma Qi saw that Brother Jiu had no other intentions, he just meant it literally, and thought of Kangxi's words.
The emperor has spoken twice, asking him to teach the twelfth elder brother. If he really wants to turn a blind eye to the twelfth elder brother, it will not be good.
Ma Qi pondered for a moment and said: "The Ninth Master is friendly to his brothers and sisters. It is a good intention to take the Twelfth Master under his wings. However, the Twelveth Brother is already a man and can also experience it alone. This human relationship is not something that can be found in books. It should be experienced in person.
Let’s meet more people first…”
After hearing this, the ninth elder brother said: "Teacher, when the matter of adding a new minister to manage the academy is completed, let the twelfth elder brother take charge of one of the stalls himself."
Before, he also asked the twelfth elder brother to take turns in the following departments, but it was just a formality, the time was short, and the effect was not great. It is different to be in charge of one department.
At that time, if you don’t want to deal with people, you still have to deal with them.
The twelfth elder brother was standing by and glanced at the ninth elder brother, feeling that he had learned something again.
very eloquent.
I never expected that it would be such a ninth brother!
Ma Qi was also pleased that Brother Ninth was so humble. He looked at Brother Ninth and said, "Master Ninth can make the decision himself."
He did not stay in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for long. After asking why, he went back to the cabinet.
Ma Qi's visit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not attract anyone's attention. After all, he still had the title of Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it was strange that he never showed up.
When Ma Qi left, the twelfth elder brother couldn't help it anymore and said to the ninth elder brother: "Ninth elder brother, I don't want to be the minister in charge of the academy..."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are you stupid? If you don't have a serious job, how can you calculate your salary?"
The twelfth elder brother is currently working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is considered an errand boy with no salary.
The twelfth elder brother was a little confused, and after a while he said: "Then the minister in charge of the academy is not also in charge? How can we determine the quality if there is no quota?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "If you had no rank before, then you should be classified as the fourth rank, higher than the Doctor of the Siyuan and lower than the Director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The doctor is the fifth grade, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the third grade.
The twelfth elder brother was in hesitation.
The fourth-grade salary is one hundred and five taels of silver, plus one hundred and five hu of rice.
If you don’t want rice, you can exchange fifty-two taels of silver.
This adds up to one hundred and fifty-seven taels.
The twelfth prince is a frugal person, so this is the prince's monthly payment for three months.
He had no salary before, and it was all supplemented by Ninth Brother.
Although he is calm, if he is getting married next year, will Brother Ninth still need to support Fujin?
The twelfth elder brother's eyelids drooped and he said nothing more.
Seeing his unwillingness, Brother Jiu was speechless and said: "Not only is this salary, but also various subsidies? Not to mention other things, it only lasts for three years and two years, and how much older does it take for a minister to come down all year round?
One hundred taels of silver is no problem..."
After hearing this, the twelfth elder brother looked up at the ninth elder brother, looking like he wanted to speak but hesitated.
Brother Jiu asked: "What's wrong?"
The twelfth elder brother said: "Then...what about the ninth brother's share? Will they still pay for it?"
If you pay double filial piety, you are forcing people to be greedy.
But if there is only one portion in total, it is not equivalent to taking money out of Brother Jiu's pocket.
Brother Jiu said: "I don't care about them, why do they still respect me? The rules of officialdom are based on rank. When the time comes, I will just wait for your three months and two birthdays..."
Brother Twelve breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
That's right, even if I fall in love with him then...
Although Ma Qi's visit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not attract anyone's attention, Ma Qi knew in his heart that the emperor had received the news.
When Ma Qi came to see him in the afternoon, after discussing the government affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he took the initiative to mention the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"When the news from the Accounting Department came out, people were not only panicked, but also in chaos for a while. It just so happened that the assessment period for this batch of commissioned officials was coming. Master Jiu was afraid that the old thing would happen again, so he thought of setting up a human management institute modeled on the ministry institute. Listen, slave, maybe
You can try it.”
Ma Qi told the news that morning and then expressed his own opinions.
Kangxi narrowed his eyes after hearing this.
Like Ma Qi, he thinks a lot.
"But someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is disobedient, or someone outside is saying something about Ninth Prince?"
Ma Qi shook his head and said: "I have never heard of this, but I am thinking that if Master Ninth is really wronged, he should come directly to Qianqing Palace to ask the Emperor to make the decision today instead of sending Master Twelve to send a message to this slave."
Kangxi thought about it too.
His expression softened a little, thinking about Brother Ninth's words.
He also found that the Imperial Censor's Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was of little use. The impeachments were focused on trivial matters or focusing on a few general managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The words of the minister in charge of the academy, which involve evaluation and future, and have little to do with wrapping up, can really shock one or two.
But in that case, this candidate should also be chosen carefully.
Otherwise, it will be like a court official colluding with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it will be easy to cause trouble.
Kangxi did not answer immediately, but said: "I will think about it again and discuss this matter when I come back from the mausoleum."
Ma Qi agreed and left.
Kangxi began to wonder about Jiu Age's intentions.
If all the powerful yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are equipped with ministers in charge and senior ministers, then the main yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will only be responsible for the selection of officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Has Brother Nine intervened in the selection of officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past two years?
It seems that they really intervened and asked people to re-check the candidates' relatives and descendants.
Those who are capable and have sufficient qualifications will be selected as replacements as usual; those who are based solely on connections will be rejected.
Kangxi couldn't help but shake his head, knowing what Brother Jiu was up to, and complained to Liang Jiugong: "I thought he had been wronged for doing this without thinking, but it turned out that the bastard was just trying to avoid being lazy. This minister of management
Suppose, he is looking for an opportunity to be lazy, and he can't just ask for leave and not be on duty..."
Liang Jiugong said: "Perhaps Master Jiu feels sorry for Master Twelve, so he thought of this. Otherwise, like before, Master Nine is not in Beijing, and Master Twelve is the only one who keeps an eye on the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I heard that people get up early and go late, which is very strange."
Hard……"
Kangxi hummed and said: "Don't flatter him. If I were not in the palace as usual, he would have been lazy. This time he was honest. It was also because he had just written an apology note. I don't know how many days he had been thinking about it. I guess he was lazy.
It was because he was tired of being impeached and was afraid that the censor would still stare at him next time, so he decided to drain the firepower and hand over all the errands, just to be lazy..."
