The autumn wind gradually tightened, and the temperature became colder day by day.

Fei Qian also felt a little chilling in his heart.

Although in feudal dynasties, one life, or even tens of hundreds or thousands of lives, is not a big deal, Fei Qian still feels uncomfortable.

Because Fei Qian was once one of these numbers that could be ignored in later generations.

Even though Fei Qian is now in this position and understands that some things need to be viewed from a macro perspective, he still can't forget that he was hindered and was averaged back then, so he has a little more experience from the bottom than other Han people.

Fei Qian understood that the standards or requirements of the Chinese people for officials are very low, and even ordinary people do not need officials to do anything or do a big project. They only need officials to charge fees randomly, don’t pay labor, and don’t waste money. They can be called a “good official”.

Just like Kong Rong, he doesn't know how to deal with people's livelihood and government affairs, nor does he know how to safeguard the people. He just needs to do nothing and just don't disturb the people, and he can already be praised by the people. Think about it, what a helpless but ridiculous thing...

But even with such low requirements, officials can repeatedly break through the bottom line.

And year by year, the bottom line is pulled lower and lower.

Fei Qian, Xun You and Kan Ze did not have much difference in their understanding of the Western Regions.

Under the leadership of Lu Bu, some problems have indeed arisen in the Western Regions.

Even some people have died because of these problems, and even more people have died.

"Consul of Zhiyin Jianwang..." Fei Qian searched in his mind for the impression of the recorded Consul of Zhiyin Jianwang, but unfortunately, he couldn't remember anything.

『Appoint personnel first, and give them pensions to their family according to the death of ordinary people...』 Fei Qian said to Xun You, "The specific merits and demerits will be supplemented after the Western Regions..."

Xun You bowed and said, "Report to the lord, this person is a Shandong native, and his family is in ruins. He went to Hedong to study, and then went to Chang'an to refer to him... He had no family in Sanfu Hedong. If so... he had to send someone to Shandong to look for him..."

Xun You is the steward, and he is more familiar with these people than Fei Qian. Even if Xun You can't remember, he can check the files left at the Shangshu Desk.

Fei Qian sighed slightly, "Then he will send someone to go."

Xun You answered.

When facing the storms of the times, everyone is like a small wave in the sea, rolling and disappearing at any time. Perhaps this counselor Wang once hoped to rely on his own efforts to change his destiny, build a family, and live happily, and then quietly dissipated in the wind and sand of the Western Regions with his hopes and dreams.

"Tell me, what should you do? Don't worry, just say whatever you think." Fei Qian looked at Xun You and Kan Ze for a while and asked.

Of course, Fei Qian did not want Xun You or Kan Ze to take his soldiers to attack Lu Bu.

Military generals have battlefields for military generals, and civil officials of course also have battlefields for civil officials.

Isn’t there an old saying that military generals are not afraid of death and civil officials are not corrupt, so the court is naturally good.

Comparing death and corruption can also prove from the indirectly that administration is actually a major issue about life and death.

The issue of how to deal with the administration raised by Fei Qian is not completely unresearched and discussed in all dynasties. China is actually leading the way in many aspects, and has been leading for thousands of years, and then lagging behind at a certain stage...

In the early Han Dynasty, Huaxia had already put forward further requirements for the assessment of officials. Emperor Xuan of Han even said that he was actually governing the world with the two thousand stone good ministers, and formulated systems such as "top plan" and "supervision".

At that time, the central government set up plans to take charge of the county and state plans, and the county and states set up officials, and the provincial officials were in charge of local plans. According to the "Book of Han", Emperor Xuan of Han Liu Xun once "issued the prime minister and the censor asked the county and state leaders to ask about the gains and losses of the government orders." In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che divided the country into thirteen prefectures, and each prefecture department established a governor to "consider six matters" to supervise the county and state commanders. The Han Dynasty officially established a national supervision system.

The subsequent feudal dynasties also had more detailed rules for the assessment of the administration...

So, is it that the emperor has no idea what the officials under his command are doing?

In fact, it is not. Otherwise, there would be no need to strengthen the requirements for the administration of officials again and again in previous dynasties. The assessment system for officials has been improved. Most of the time, as long as the emperor is somewhat sensible and understands some things, he will basically hate the hypocritical disobedience of his subordinate officials.

In fact, the fundamental problem of official administration is class interests and the bad nature of the feudal dynasty.

The emperor's basic interests are the world and the hearts of all people. For the bureaucratic group that assists the emperor, they control the world, and the world is not their family...

So what should I do?

Fei Qian himself had some ideas, but he gave the question to Xun You and Kan Ze first.

Kan Ze was silent for a moment and said, "According to what I saw, the current officials are superficial in their questions. There is no on-site verification or comparison strategy. Therefore, the officials have no worries and are often lucky. Therefore, they should implement the method of exams, establish the system, clarify the public in the court, inform the countryside, let the officials understand their responsibilities, and let the people know their systems. The top and the bottom all examine themselves to make them punish and demote. "

Kan Ze further explained that the court should set up a special supervision agency to be responsible for the assessment of officials in various places, such as the division of prefectures and counties, and be responsible for supervising the administrative achievements of prefectures and counties. At the same time, it further clarifies the requirements for officials' appointments, and considers them in terms of "morality, integrity, prudence, public and private, diligence and ignorance". On the one hand, it focuses on the political achievements achieved by officials in office, and on the other hand, it also needs to consider the moral integrity of officials.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! And the assessment is divided into local assessments, that is, the preliminary examination, which can be chaired by the local chief or department chief. The main assessment is mainly for the merits and demerits of the year. The assessment manager must announce the assessment results in public, public evaluation of the merits and disadvantages, performance ratings, etc., and then the assessment results are submitted to the court.

The court will also conduct re-examinations, which are divided into fixed examinations and irregular examinations. The fixed examination is once every three years and is combined with the above plan to conduct school examinations. The irregular examinations are to send personnel to go deep into the local area to understand the actual situation and verify whether the local report is true...

Fei Qian pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, but did not say whether it was good or bad, but looked at Xun You.

Xun You stroked his beard, as if he was still thinking about something.

Fei Qian did not urge him, but waited quietly.

After a while, Xun You bowed to Fei Qian as a courtesy, and then said: "I think that the lord should be more important than the officials before he was sick. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, filial piety and honesty were used as a talent, which led to the rise of exaggeration and overwhelming reputation. This is the cause of the ills and evil. Now the lord practices the method of scientific examination, and eliminates this cause. The corruption in the Western Regions is caused by local responsibilities. For example, the corruption of filial piety and honesty is not entrusted, the responsibilities are not determined, and the positions are not clear. How can there be a reason for not being chaotic? Therefore, I ask the lord to establish the law of the officials, set up the lord, hold the lord, hold the lord, test the merits and demerits, and verify the performance. Before the lord, during the lord, and after the lord, they are evaluated to encourage the good and punish the mediocre and the inferior."

Xun You said that after Fei Qian promoted the scientific research, from "representing name" to "representing one's own goal", he still needed to strengthen the control of officials, and strengthen the management of officials from the front, middle and back aspects.

Before an official takes office, he/she should investigate his/her character and make records for file inspection. At the same time, before taking office, his/her local chief officer should interview and follow his/her words and deeds, and make corresponding records. If there is a problem with the official during his/her term, the investigator and the local chief officer need to make corresponding inspections and bear certain punishments based on the amount of the crimes of the perpetrator.

Among officials, those with excellent political achievements are the best, those with rough positions are the middle, and those with slowness are the lower, and those with promotion, transfer, and removal are respectively given punishment methods. This is somewhat similar to the previous assessment, but Xun You proposed the biggest change in the post is that not all officials can serve the expiration date. If there are major problems in the post, they should be dismissed and their adjutant will take over temporarily. The performance will be recorded in the appraisal of his adjutant. After the expiration of the term, the adjutant will also face the third-class "elevation and peace and exemption".

Finally, Xun You explained that officials after the appointment are equally important. Officials who serve in the local area cannot just leave after the appointment. They must establish a local chronicle system, that is, record what the officials do, what achievements or consequences they have achieved in the local area. Saving people, writing, killing people, and writing. After all, merits and demerits are evaluated by future generations, and predecessors dare not do too much. After all, most people still have to be shameless.

As for a small number of people, it is just to punish them directly. After all, just as Fei Qian said before, focus on preventing them before they happen, but they will inevitably get sick. If you get sick, you will take medicine and take a knife according to the condition.

Fei Qian smiled and nodded.

In fact, the suggestions put forward by Kan Ze and Xun You also have their own personal colors.

Kan Ze mainly focused on investigation, while Xun You said that he focused on his post. The plans proposed by both of them were their thinking on the administration and their suggested solutions.

After listening to the suggestions of the two, Fei Qian thought about it for a while, and then said, "It was time for Qiu to obtain the plan, so he would first revise the administration of the official government, issue official documents first, and use the Senate Law Court... By the way, Gongda, didn't the Senate Law Court lose its chief position?"

Xun You almost immediately understood Fei Qian's meaning, "The lord's meaning is to use the name of law to perform the examination of official administration?"

Fei Qian nodded with a smile, "Shangshutai issued a document to order officials from all over the country to state suggestions... He asked the Chan Law Court to offer sacrifices to wine, Chan Law Court, etc. to discuss this matter, formulate laws, improve standards, and choose the best ones, and can pretend to take the Chan Law Court to wait for the expiration of the expiration of the...

Fei Qian said slowly: "The first thing to do is to complete the official examination. Now we can first place the prefectures and counties, determine the rules and regulations, clarify the standards, and set the methods so that officials know how to take the exam, how to take the exam, evaluate the rating, and balance the government. Prepare before the exam, record after the exam, and report after the exam."

Fei Qian had also caught the issue of administration for a period of time before, but most of that period was based on autumn harvest and autumn tax. The assessment mainly involved tax issues, or issues related to taxes, such as the road to livelihood, agriculture, and water conservancy, etc. On the one hand, at that time, the tax issue was the most important and the most important contradiction facing Fei Qian. On the other hand, most officials in the Han Dynasty were also on this matter. The implementation of tax assessments will basically not cause any unexpected rebounds among local officials and gentry.

After all, even if it is not Fei Qian, would it be possible that if someone else comes, they will not be able to pay taxes?

Therefore, it was not too difficult to implement the assessment of administrative administration at that time. Most people were wondering whether their tax standards were high and whether the number of other people's counties and townships was low. As for whether to use this standard or whether to use this assessment, they basically didn't have much opinion.

But now it is different. It not only refers to autumn taxes, but also requires daily ethics. Completed tax tasks in the court does not mean that you can do whatever you want in the local area and pay the money and food in the court, nor does it mean that you can spend the rest. This will naturally cause some people to be discomfortable, and even feel that it is infringing on their interests.

Just like the Western Regions.

In the traditional concept of the Han Dynasty, local officials are the lords of the local government. To break this concept, it is not something that can be done by a person in charge. More importantly, they have to change their minds and change this concept...

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So the first step is to change the concept of the head officials of the prefectures and counties.

And this change does not mean that they are immediately asked to make a 180-degree change, but rather, gently, slowly, and even makes them unable to feel it, as if they are going to take a step forward.

Did Fei Qian immediately put forward high requirements?

Not.

On the surface, the prefects of each county are still the chief officials. Now they have one more thing, and they have to be responsible for the assessment of local officials. Of course, this is the same as their previous work, but the difference is that their assessment is no longer just for themselves, but also for reporting.

Clear requirements must be reported.

The key point is this "report".

How to evaluate, what was evaluated, and what was the result?

These contents seem to be very important, but they are actually very important.

Xun You's eyes moved slightly, as if he had thought of something...

Sure enough, Fei Qian continued, "Secondly, there should be full-time assessments. So he used the Censorate as a template to set up a merit examination department and specialize in the assessment of officials. He had a director, a doctor, a foreigner, etc., and a dedicated person to review the merit examination."

There was originally a Censorate in the Han Dynasty, which was also responsible for the assessment of officials, but the Censorate was relatively more famous, so it was renamed the Censorate. Unlike the original Censorate, the Censor had the responsibility of impeachment. Although there were also Censors, they only had the authority to assess the performance and character of officials, and the other power of supervision and the authority to spy on the news was in the Wenshe.

Xun You and Kan Ze were not surprised by this arrangement.

After all, both of them said just now that the assessment of officials is very important. To strengthen management in this area, of course, a more efficient institution is needed. So what is more effective than a dedicated person?

Regarding the head of the examination and examination department, Xun You asked Fei Qian for his opinion.

Fei Qian thought for a while and said that the county magistrate and county magistrate around the Sanfu of Chang'an, those with excellent performance and term of office will be selected and evaluated as the best.

Xun You also said that Fei Qian's decision was very wise, and said that once the news was released, it would definitely make many people excited...

Fei Qian smiled.

Xun You also smiled.

Kan Ze looked around and then suddenly realized.

"Third," Fei Qian said the third aspect, "The affairs of local annals mentioned by Gongda are good strategies. The matters of assessment should be publicly evaluated, and the matters of local annals should also be publicly evaluated. The evaluation was previously only when the term of office expired, and the time limit was not avoided. To supplement the local agenda in the year, it can make up for its shortcomings..."

The assessment is made public and local chronicles are also made public.

The matter of public assessment was in the early Han Dynasty.

There was a word in the Han Dynasty called "public review", which means that in the form of a meeting, the examiner asked various questions to the examined officials. The examiner must answer the questions in court, and the examiner must then determine the assessment level based on his or her annual summary report and other relevant text materials submitted by the examined officials.

Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, personally "summoned the officials of counties to ask about their customs" and "publicly evaluated" to evaluate the quality of the work of county officials. With Emperor Guangwu taking the lead, local officials such as county magistrates naturally also assessed their subordinate officials in the same way. Publicly assessed officials for a period of time in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it became a trend.

Later, the Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty became lazy, and local officials became lazy.

Fei Qian also said before that as an official, there will be an assessment. If the consecutive term is not very good, or if there is a major problem in a certain term, it will give officials a comment like a posthumous title. However, there is a problem with China, which is that it is too friendly to bad people and too harsh to good people.

Of course, Confucius' original intention was not like this. The initial meaning was just to persuade people to be positive. In order to make more "bad people" return to goodness, they would say that as long as the prodigal son returns, he would not change gold, but it was just "not changed gold". He did not say that he would be "no sin", but he was distorted and exploited by some people.

So on the one hand, Fei Qian's rule was not too long, and no official was actually awarded the title of "evil posthumous posthumously". On the other hand, many corrupt officials were also very cunning. They would use some tricks, just like they would silently use money at the beginning of the year. At the end of the year, they would spend two small money to send a few farmers to repair water conservancy and shout it all over the city.

Do bad things first when you take office, and then do good things when you are about to end your term. Then the people are grateful and feel that they have influenced the bad people and made good people. In order to make themselves more moved, they praise the official well, because only this official can prove that their efforts over the years are effective and pleasant...

Public local chronicles will avoid this problem to a certain extent.

For example, if you write about water conservancy, you have been practicing for one year, two years, three years, and then you have not repaired it even after leaving office. What is that?

If it is not published every year and is just a brief record, then in the end, the official's resume will probably say that he pays attention to water conservancy and has made contributions to the repair, but what about it?
