Hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Wu Yan showed a wry smile.
He hesitated for a moment and remained silent.
"Actually, I have plans regarding the salaries and wages of officials at all levels and subordinates, but there are too many problems at the moment, and I haven't had time to implement them.
It just so happens that Mr. Wu asked this time, let Mr. Wu carry out this reform!"
As he spoke, Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and rummaged around on the table next to him. Regarding the expenses of local officials, as well as income and expenditure, in fact, Zhu Cixiang had thought about reform a long time ago.
To be honest, the corruption of officials certainly has their own problems, and this problem is huge.
But it is the court's problem to make life of upright officials poor!
At least the life of upright officials should be better than that of ordinary landlords.
In this way, at least these officials will have no excuse for being greedy. If they are still greedy, don't blame Zhu Cihong for his thunderous power!
Wu Di was a little surprised and took the piece of paper from Zhu Cixiang's hand.
Soon, Wu Yan looked at the paper in his hand.
On this piece of paper, Zhu Cihong probably collectively referred to officials and the staff of the township school as positions.
They are all positions funded directly by the Ming Dynasty.
All personnel can receive corresponding salary and lumi according to their rank.
There is nothing strange about these Wu Di, after all, these are systems that have existed before.
But looking down, Wu Zong showed a surprised look on his face.
"Your Highness, are the wages of this master and the government servants also paid by the imperial court?"
There was a trace of emotion in Wu Yan's eyes as he looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"Yes! Corrupt officials can complain about low wages. I don't want to hear honest officials complain about too little salary. The culture of appointing private individuals is too rampant. I think this is a bad thing!"
Zhu Cixiang, with a serious face, said to Wu Yan in front of him.
After hearing Zhu Cixi's words, Wu Di nodded thoughtfully.
Continuing to read, Wu Dong discovered that Zhu Cixi had a method that was very feasible. The only disadvantage was that it cost more, but for officials, it was definitely a good thing.
Especially for those aspiring officials.
Moreover, the prince's method opened the way for ordinary people to become officials!
Ordinary people can accumulate enough ranks by working as yamen and masters for officials. After reaching a certain level, they will have the opportunity to take the job transfer examination.
If you pass the exam, you can directly transfer to become an official!
Even without fame, you still have the opportunity to be an official!
However, Wu Hong discovered that this rule did not offend anyone. On the contrary, this rule would definitely receive a lot of praise.
After all, this rule can inspire the enthusiasm of these masters, government officials, and police officers for their work. During the year-end assessment, they all hope that the people and officials of the county will give them a good rating!
These are very important, and officials are naturally happy to see how diligent they are.
For the common people, this is also a good thing. They can also control the evaluations of these government servants and masters, as well as those low-level officials!
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!"
Wu Yan called out three wonderful words in succession. His face was full of excitement. He looked at Zhu Cixiang on the side and said excitedly to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Your Highness's move can be said to kill three birds with one stone!"
Hearing Wu Zong's words, Zhu Cixiang smiled, but his eyes remained calm.
"It just looks good, but the specifics still depend on the execution. If the execution is not good, everything will remain the same as before, or it may get worse!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness! I will definitely pay close attention to this!"
Wu Di quickly said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
"Yeah! I hope so!"
Zhu Cixiang nodded.
"On one point, let's pilot it in Shandong first! If the follow-up results are good, we will report to my father and see if it is possible to promote it to the entire Jiangnan!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Wu Di nodded.
There was a look of approval in his eyes.
I have to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really mature and prudent in his actions. He was once the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, and both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty have praised his talents.
Under normal circumstances, the prince would be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and he would hear himself praising this policy.
I'm afraid I won't tell His Majesty directly.
But His Highness the Crown Prince's expression did not change at all, and the pilot method he mentioned really seemed like something that only a mature veteran could do!
Thinking of this, the more Wu Zong looked at Zhu Cihong, the more he admired him.
He also sighed in his heart. If, after the death of Emperor Tianqi, Zhu Cixiang had been the one who came to the throne, perhaps there would be no such chaos today!
Although many people say that natural disasters caused the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, there are still many people in Wu who understand in their hearts.
Emperor Chongzhen must also be responsible!
He is not a particularly good leader, at least not as good as the crown prince in front of him!
But Wu Di only dared to think about this kind of thing in his mind, and there was no way he could say it out loud.
"Okay, if you don't have any questions about this promotion system, just go ahead and arrange it!"
Zhu Cixi looked at Wu Yan in front of him and said.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Wu Di turned around respectfully and left the prince's palace.
On the other side, Datian Village, a refugee resettlement site.
"Dad! Dad!"
Chen Fangtian was making frames when he heard the shouts outside the door and subconsciously raised his head.
Chen Yi ran towards Chen Fangtian with excitement in his eyes.
"The newly built village school in our village has a teacher!"
"Is the teacher really here?"
After hearing Chen Yi's words, Chen Fangtian, who was making frames, stopped in his hands, and looked at Chen Yi in front of him with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"Yes! He's here! The gentleman even showed his appointment document from the imperial court! He is specifically responsible for the education of the children in our village!"
Chen Yi happily said to Chen Fangtian in front of him.
Looking at the happy Chen Yi in front of him, Chen Fangtian's eyes showed a look of disbelief. He had experienced many government offices.
However, these governments are basically the same. It cannot be said that they do not care about the civilians, but they basically look indifferent.
Many officials also like to do some face-saving projects.
For example, you can use things like archways to promote your political achievements.
Originally, Chen Fangtian thought that this rural school was like this. Since the school was built, there had been no teachers at all and it was usually a place for children to play.
