Although the first impression of Li Mian was not bad, a procedural job interview is also necessary.So I asked Zhang Yuli to bring people to Qinzheng Pavilion for questioning when the court was over the next day.

This is probably the first time for Li Mian to face the saint up close, after all, his anxiety is beyond words.I saw him hunched up involuntarily, with his head buried very low, and his thin body was covered with a baggy official uniform, which was shorter than the bamboo pole, and he did not have the temperament of thin bamboo, as if it was broken. Half of the flagpole, the flag is still hanging on it.

He doesn't look extraordinary at all, and even one more point makes him appear to be a wretched figure, and his appearance value is stuck at the low-end critical value, which is not easy.

I took a moment to look at Li Mian from top to bottom, and came to a conclusion that this person is very ordinary. After I came to the conclusion, I asked him: "How long has Li Aiqing been an official in the court?"

Li Mian answered me respectfully: "Twenty years have passed since I returned to Your Majesty."

Although I knew the answer long ago, I still nodded: "It turns out that it has been 20 years, and 20 years is not short. Then let me ask you, what has Aiqing learned from being an official for [-] years?"

Li Mian glanced at me in surprise, then quickly bowed his head when he realized something was wrong.It may be that my inquiry was beyond his expectation, Li Mian hesitated to speak after organizing his words.

"If you talk about comprehension, I think that I am honored to be able to apply what I have learned and think in real politics, fulfill my duties, and benefit the country and the people." Li Mian's answer was quite satisfactory, neither brilliant nor out of line, concise and simple Nothing fancy.

I wasn't satisfied with this, so I asked again: "Aiqing seems to have only worked in the capital for the past 20 years, why is she sent out to be an official unlike other people?"

After hearing this, Li Mian made a distressed expression: "I have obeyed the orders of the superiors. In the past 20 years, I have not received any external assignment."

Although Li Mian's tone was calm, I could hear an emotion of "do you think I don't want to? But the situation doesn't give me a chance, what can I do? I'm also very helpless." emotion in it.Looking at Li Mian this way, he was really wronged.

The promotion of officials in the Great Yin is the same as in all eras. There are performance appraisal items, but such things as political performance have always been based on face. Under the same conditions and the same official position, the white-faced ones will have political achievements, and the black-faced ones will be buried. It may not be possible to make some achievements.Or even so, there are always some methods that are relatively easy to achieve political achievements. These methods are tacit cheating in the officialdom, which is an unspoken rule.

A promising young official is usually dispatched to a local area to work for a period of time. The local area is relatively easy to achieve political achievements, and can also test the ability of officials. When his term of office expires, he will call back. Got a promotion and a raise.

Because of this, there are many twists and turns in this. For example, young officials who offend people may be sent to remote areas, where they may not achieve results after a few years of soil, while those with high EQ will behave like people with connections. After a few years of performance evaluation period, the people who were raised in the land of fish and rice gained a few laps of weight.

These things are very common in the officialdom. As long as they are not excessive, and they will not bury talents and endanger the country because of the selfish desires of the superiors, then the emperor will turn a blind eye. After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Great harmony in the officialdom.

However, Li Mian's situation is very strange. He was not put in a ghost place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't shit, nor is his EQ so low that both humans and gods are angry. He has never been released outside. In the past 20 years, never had.

You can say that he is not capable, but he can quickly get started every time he changes departments. If you say that he has a personality problem, he can get along well with his colleagues, and even his immediate boss thinks that this person is steadfast and stable.But the above evaluations are quite different from Li Mian's own situation.

A set of procedures for the promotion of officials in the Great Yin is still very organized.First of all, Xinke Scholars have to practice in the Hanlin Academy for three years and serve as the emperor's secretary for three years. Those who perform well can end the internship early, and then they will be assigned to six official jobs according to their performance during the internship period, and the three provinces of Zhongshu, Menxia, ​​and Shangshu will also Admission is based on merit each year.

After everyone has worked for a period of time, newcomers with potential and good business will receive tasks, such as going to a designated area to be a county magistrate, participating in certain projects in a certain area, and those from the Ministry of War may even go to supervise the army with the army.

After that, some young people may have found their goals in life, and planned to stay in the local area and strive to become governor and deputy governor, and finally return to the central government.Some return to their original positions after their term of office expires, or get promoted as soon as they return to Beijing after completing a good job...these are all in line with the established pattern of the officialdom of the Great Yin.Therefore, Li Mian, who has never been out of Beijing, is very interesting.

"Is Li Aiqing a native of Beijing?" I remembered his hometown.

"I'm from Mafang County in the suburbs of Beijing. I went home when I left the city." Li Mian got used to the environment and felt much more relaxed. He didn't answer my questions as rigidly as before.

"So, Ai Qing has never left the capital so far?"

"exactly."

I became interested, and leaned forward slightly: "Then Aiqing, would you like to be a local official, leave the capital, and visit various parts of the Great Yin?"

"I don't want to." Li Mian said without thinking.

He returned so simply and neatly.I was taken aback for a moment, and then said happily: "Didn't Aiqing say that everything should be obeyed? Why do you not want to go where I want you to go?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, what your Majesty is asking is whether the subject is willing or not. I dare not hide anything from Your Majesty, so I will naturally follow my heart. But if Your Majesty insists on doing so, I will follow my orders." Li Mian answered more simply this time than last time .

This style of painting is quite different from the previous one, strictly speaking, even a bit offensive, I was curious, so I asked: "Ai Qing, have you always talked like this?"

"I only have one mouth, and I can't say two things." Li Mian answered quickly, but the content made people dumbfounded.

I was very helpless and said to Li Mian: "Li Aiqing, do you know that if you talk to me like this, you will be killed. What should I do if I am angry?"

Li Mian looked up at me with a confused face: "I don't understand."

I let out a long sigh: "Li Mian, it's normal for you not to be promoted, your superiors are very knowledgeable and make good use of them."

Li Mian's previous bosses all have similar comments in his personnel files, that he is outspoken, capable and suitable for clerical work.At first I didn't understand what was going on, but now I finally do.

This evaluation can be replaced with modern words. Li Mian is a good comrade. .

That's right, Li Mian basically does all paper work in any one.For example, copying official documents, collecting and sorting out data, sorting files... Li Mian is meticulous and patient, and from the perspective of his work, he seems to be a bit obsessive-compulsive.This kind of person is really suitable for secretarial work.All the ministers who have dealt with Li Mian said that with Li Mian around, they have not been occupied by chores, and their work efficiency has improved a lot.

But it is a pity that such a unique talent does not have a wide road in the officialdom. After all, his abilities and specialties are too single. There is really no such a big demand for talents.When everyone is all-rounder, Li Mian seems a bit mediocre.

After thinking through Li Mian's question, I asked him again: "Can Aiqing tell you why you don't want to be a local official?"

Li Mian quickly adjusted and continued to answer my questions. He answered every question: "I have never left Beijing since I was a child, and I have no plans to do so in the future. The land of Great Yin is vast, but there is only one hometown. I don't think I will live in my hometown forever." What's the problem? Besides, I'm away from Beijing, so I'm afraid I won't be able to live for a day."

I have seen people who bluntly say that they are not capable, and I have seen people who list various reasons to explain their positions, but I have never seen people who say that they cannot live without it.I was very surprised by this statement, so I asked: "Why can't I survive? Tell me about it."

"I have something to hide. This matter happened to my family, and I didn't tell anyone," Li Mian was a little embarrassed at this time. "I have a lot of food that I can't eat. After eating, my whole body is itchy, red, swollen and rash. There is no medicine stone, it will be hard to get rid of it for a few days, and the same is true for the upper body clothing. If it is not a specific clothing material, it will be itchy all over the body. In spring, there will be no catkins, and in summer, there will be no fragrance of flowers. Only winter can live comfortably all year round. If there is no mother in these years My wife took care of me, I'm afraid she is already dead."

I was taken aback when I heard this, Li Mian is actually extremely allergic, a person with extremely allergic actually grew up under such hygienic conditions in ancient times, and even took an exam to become an official!My God, it's not easy.Immediately, I saw Li Mian's eyes full of understanding.As far as the place of work is concerned, I am afraid that this person is not unwilling, but unable.But then again, Li Mian did not show a particularly amazing talent.

I thought for a long time, because there are too few people who meet my requirements. Although Li Mian has flaws in character, I finally decided to give Li Mian a chance to prove himself.

I said, "Li Aiqing, I have a job I want to give you, would you like it?"

Li Mian became more courageous, and he asked: "Your Majesty, do you need to release it?"

"Of course not, Aiqing, you are still working in Beijing, but the affairs are more cumbersome and busy, and no one will help you at the beginning, and even no one has done similar work before, so you need to spend your time exploring. You can willing?"

Li Mian thought for a moment, then asked again: "Are you promoted?"

"Up, of course, from the third grade." I threw out the bait.

Upon hearing this, Li Mian gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "It's a good thing that I don't disgrace my life!"

I clapped my palms and laughed: "Okay, from now on, Li Mian will take the position of the third-rank secretary and supervisor, responsible for the internal affairs of all provinces and ministries, and can directly face the emperor. Supervisor Li, this is a new department, and I will work hard for you in the future." gone."

"Chen, no, it's not hard." Li Mian responded tremblingly, probably because he was overwhelmed by my arrogance, hahaha.
