Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 134
A county government has more than one hundred civil servants.

As a result, there were only three officials recognized by the court, and the other civil servants were petty officials with low status and not included in the court establishment.

The magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief bookkeeper all passed the imperial examination before they were able to become officials.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials were often selected through imperial examinations, appointed by the imperial court, often served in different places, received imperial salaries, and served the imperial court.

However, small officials are different.

Subordinates are clerks in the Yamen, appointed by officials, receive salaries from officials, and serve officials appointed by the court.

In Ming society, the status of officials was no different from that of yamen servants, watchmen, catchers, and jailers. Their status was extremely low, and their treatment was also extremely low.

Officials do not need to be produced through imperial examinations, they are mainly professional and full-time staff, and there is no grade.

Because the imperial court stipulates that the descendants of officials are not allowed to take the imperial examination, nor can they be promoted to nine-rank sesame officials.

Therefore, many scholars would rather spend their lives than become officials.

The main source of officials is recruitment.

When local officials need staff, they will post announcements to attract interested parties to apply for the job.

Although the official status is low, but after all, he works in the Yamen and eats the imperial food.

therefore.

It is impossible for ordinary people to recruit themselves into the yamen as subordinate officials.

After more than 200 years of development, the subordinate staff class in Ming Dynasty formed its own system.

As the saying goes, officials with flowing water and subordinates with iron.

Local officials are transferred to other places every few years.

but.

The subordinate officials in one place will take root there for generations.

When a subordinate official of a yamen gets old, he will arrange his descendants and relatives to work in the yamen.

This has also led to the fact that after a long period of development, the positions of small government officials in a place are basically dominated by these families of subordinate officials.

The literati in the Ming Dynasty, because they were keen on being officials, would devote their main energy to reading.

This will lead to them not being proficient in human affairs after they become officials.

Most of the officials are not well educated, and they are served by local people, so they are more sophisticated in human relations.

Generally speaking, officials have decision-making power, while officials are more responsible for execution. The two complement each other.

However, it is precisely because the officials have no hope of becoming officials, their official career is limited, and their quality is not very high, which leads them to put more energy on oppressing and oppressing the common people, making the life of the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty even more miserable.

just now.

When these smart children finish their studies, Chen Fan will assign jobs to them.

Each county requires two or three places for subordinate officials, and no one would object to it.

Those civil servants have always looked down on subordinate officials, so it is even more impossible to object to this matter.

And these graduates will be placed by Chen Fan in every county, every state, and every prefecture in Daming.

Wait for a long time.

The graduates of several classes were all arranged to work as subordinates in the county government yamen.

After each county has a large number of scientific talents, Chen Fan can promote the reform of officials in Ming Dynasty.

Both officials and officials are civil servants of Ming Dynasty and should not be treated differently.

And only these talents with scientific education background can be sent to the officialdom through the reform of officials and occupy high positions.

At that time, the reform of the entire society of Ming Dynasty will have a talent foundation.

Because at that time, the officials of every county and state government in Daming had received science education.

Then, Chen Fan introduced various advanced technological systems, military systems, economic systems, etc., and combined them with various commodities and materials brought by Chen Fan from the modern world.

Chen Fan believes that after reforms from top to bottom, Daming will achieve unprecedented development in science and technology, education, economy, military, culture and other aspects.

As for the fact that the students who graduated from the university were arranged to work as subordinates in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, it was actually a smoke bomb released by Chen Fan to confuse the officials of the court.

And Chen Fan's real intention is to promote the reform of officials when the number of graduates from various places increases, and open up the promotion channel from official to official.

But Chen Fan didn't even tell Chongzhen about this.

The main reason is that this matter is too terrifying, and there is no time to tell Chongzhen.

Chen Fan could already imagine that the process of pushing these subordinate officials with scientific backgrounds into the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty must be bloody.

But Chen Fan is for the system tasks, for the progress of Daming society, for the people of Daming not to be displaced, and for the sense of mission in his heart.

Chen Fan will never back down.

When Chen Fan was thinking about this, Chongzhen and Li Yizhi had already thought it over and came to their senses.

"A scholarship of ten taels of silver per year is nothing."

When Chongzhen said this, he looked rich and powerful.

Of course, he also has the capital to say this.

Not only because the treasury still has 3000 million taels of silver, but there is another reason.

According to Pei Yuanqing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the construction of the oil plant can start before the end of this month.

At that time, there would be a steady stream of silver every day.

therefore.

These grants are trivial.

Chongzhen pondered for a while, and then said:
"As for these children who have mastered science education, it is not impossible to arrange the positions of subordinate staff. But, will it be a little overkill?"

Chongzhen couldn't understand Chen Fan's thoughts.

In the eyes of Chongzhen, these children who have received scientific education are useful people.

Chongzhen also expected them to build the Ming Dynasty into the country of China!

In Chongzhen's view, it is really overkill for such a scientific talent to be a petty official.

Chen Fan shook his head and said with a mysterious smile:
"It's not overkill. On the contrary, they will shine in every position and contribute to the development of Daming."

"Master Li, what do you think?"

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he asked Li Yizhi for his suggestion, wanting to know how he viewed this matter.

After all, Li Yizhi is the top literati in the world.

Through Li Yizhi's attitude, Chen Fan can also roughly see the attitude of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yizhi said with a smile on his face:

"These students with a background in science education can be regarded as half-educated students. It is not a problem to give them a subordinate position."

Although Li Yizhi said these words with a smile, Chen Fan caught the faint disdain at the corner of his mouth.

In Li Yizhi's heart, he didn't have the slightest affection for these subordinate officials.

Li Yizhi has been an official for decades, and he has met many subordinate officials.

These subordinate officials are the most treacherous, bullying the people, committing fraud, and to put it bluntly, they are dirty villains.

just now.

Master Guoshi didn't know what to think, but let them be low-status subordinates.

However, it is also because of this.

Li Yizhi's original hanging heart was completely relieved.

Before, he was worried that after these science-educated children graduated, the National Normal University would let them enter the officialdom.

If that's the case, the officialdom will definitely be shocked.

That will involve the dispute between imperial examinations and science, and the fight will inevitably be bloody and tragic.

Fortunately.

If these children who graduated from science education just enter the yamen as subordinates, then there will be no problem.
