Dress to be a celebrity

Every year when the official exams are completed, the deeds and achievements during his tenure must be assembled into a document and submitted to the various ministries for verification, and then it will be submitted to the cabinet and submitted to the imperial court for judgment.When Elder Zhang Ge ordered the Kaogong Division to archive the book of deeds, the six parts had already spread throughout the Song Dynasty:

According to the "Responsibility Regulations" for assessing foreign officials, it is necessary to examine the number of gods, the number of orphans in the nursing home, the fields of the officers and soldiers, the food of the government and the people... to the number of people who broke the law and were punished, and the number of policemen, etc. There are 31 entries in total.

Those who are most responsible are the six items of fields, household registration, taxes and servitude, schools, prisons, and thieves.

However, since the founding of the country for a hundred years, due to various reasons such as hidden fields and households, disasters, and border troubles, the money and food of the imperial court have become more and more tight, and among the six governments, "recruiting subjects is the most important thing".In the Song Dynasty, the item of "reminding the department" was enough to make the official of Shaanxi Qing Dynasty official Wai Lang and the following officials send plaques to his family:

Shaanxi is located in a remote, cold and dry place, with frequent disasters. In recent years, Dalu invaded the frontier. Food and tax are difficult problems every year.The tax input into the household department of each government is only enough for eight cents, and the military rations transported to the border are not enough every year due to the inconvenience of transportation on the road and the consumption during the escort.In addition, there are those who were deposed because the grain transportation was insufficient by eight cents of the tax amount, and some reported disasters and famines, and asked the court to exempt money, grain and taxes...

In the first year after Song Shi took office, he offered Jiahe Ruimai, and in the second year, the method of planting Jiagu was spread throughout the government.When the three-year exam was over, not only did their Hanzhong government pay the full amount of money and food for three years, but even the surrounding governments, Shaanxi town, Yulin town and other military towns benefited from its fertilizer, and the tax and silver in Beijing were paid off. The time is full, which has alleviated many problems for the Ministry of Accounts.

As for taking in refugees, increasing household registration, and opening up the field, each year is better than a year, and the old records of the Ministry of Households clearly remember it.And because of his good moral teachings, the people listened to his admonitions, and the people also changed their bad habits of drowning and abandoning babies. In three years, the number of newborns increased by [-] to [-] percent compared to previous years.In more than ten years, these people will be able to marry and have children again, adding another family to the court.

What kind of good and capable official is this!

If all the leaders in Shaanxi Province were so talented, would they still worry about the empty treasury and their superiors would force them to scold them?

The officials of the Ministry of Household wished that he could directly rate his performance appraisal as "upper", let alone the Ministry of Industry.The water conservancy, bridges, official roads, kiln management, and various mines that should be repaired during the tenure of the local official, Hanzhong Mansion has more than doubled the original amount.

Dikes and dams were built on the Han River to reduce floods in summer and autumn; fish farms were diverted from the river to benefit from fish taxes; dump trucks and barrel trucks were built along the river, and wells and water trucks were repaired on dry land to relieve the disaster of drought.Several asphalt and gravel roads that can accommodate four horse-drawn carriages have been built inside and outside the two prefectures. The small roads and bridges are also paved with concrete roads, and culverts are built on the roadsides. When it rains, the rainwater only flows away underground, which is not the same as before. Sewage overflows.

As for kilns and mines—since the establishment of the Hanzhong Economic Park, mineral materials have been handled day and night, which requires a lot.Guangna Economic Park itself has built several large kilns that can burn thousands of catties a day. The original charcoal kilns and ash kilns in the local area have also been scaled up for it, and they are rushing to work day and night.The same is true of local mines. Lime mines, coal mines, etc. are rushing to work day and night, and two new phosphate mines in Nanzheng and Lueyang, an unnamed strange mine in Nanzheng, a pyrite mine in Xixiang, and even more Dolomite and quartz mines in Tiantai Mountain...

Among them, there is almost no tax on stone mines, but based on the output of that pyrite mine, the annual tax is 800 taels of silver.

In addition to the two departments of household workers, the Ministry of Punishment also gave a high evaluation of Hanzhong Prefecture's lawsuits, prisons and thieves.

The household registration inside and outside the Hanzhong Mansion has been sorted out several times, and the local supervision is extremely strict, and thieves, thieves, and kidnappers are cleaned up batch after batch.The serious crimes killed several batches in a row, which shocked the inside and outside of the government.Although the other prefectures and counties in the prefecture have not been personally suppressed by the prefect of Song Dynasty, all counties should follow the prefect's wishes and strictly arrest crimes for a while, making the place peaceful.

However, some robbers and thieves who have committed minor crimes have been released, but they are afraid that they will resume their old careers and harm good people, so they are often ordered to monitor these people in the neighborhood and village, and report their whereabouts in time—these people are called policemen. people.

In the past, the policemen were only the policemen in the villages and yamen, and if they couldn't see it for a while, it was inevitable that some would return to their old jobs.The Hanzhong Mansion, on the other hand, has arranged work for those who have no land at home, or those whose neighbors report that they are uneasy about farming. They work in the workshop every morning and evening, with hundreds of thousands of people watching closely. Chance?

They heard in Hanzhong that this method is called "reform through labor", and forcing these criminals to work to support themselves and make them get rid of their evil nature is a way to kill two birds with one stone.Anyway, the work is also paid to ICBC. These people don't want to farm, so they work in the workshop for decades. When they grow old, they can do no evil and have money to support themselves.

This is also the achievement of Anmin's education.

The evaluation of him by the Ministry of Punishment is also the evaluation of him by the Ministry of Rites.

The most important of the "six things that should be done" for officials at the founding of the country is the school, and behind the school is the important task of teaching and persuading students.However, in today's examination of capable officials, it is rare to find two or three out of ten, and these people who are famous for their talents are almost all heavy on agriculture, heavy on prisons, building water conservancy, and how many of them are on schools?

Many officials say that students can perfunctorily pass the academic examination, and it is enough to pass a dozen exams each year.Like Song Zhifu, he is willing to run a school and teach students by himself, and the school he runs can teach three talented officials who are Jinshi and fellow Jinshi, which is as rare as his auspiciousness among local officials.

That is to say, only a famous person like him who established a lecture society before entering an official position and whose main job is persuasion of learning can achieve such a feat.

The four ministries approved Song Shi's performance when he was in office in accordance with the rules and regulations. They all thought that his documents would be sent to the Ministry of Officials, and he would be rated as a top-notch, and he would be promoted and returned to the center.However, waiting and waiting, their group of local officials who have passed the exams have already produced their results, and the list of promotions to Beijing has been drawn up, but Song Shi's side quietly saw no transfer results.

His Royal Highness King Qi, who was taking on important responsibilities in the Ministry of Rites, had always cared about Song Shi, and he couldn't see such a virtuous pearl being dusted. He discussed privately with his cousin Wei Guogong's son: "Could it be that Father doesn't want my brother's people to return to Beijing? Officials of the Ministry of Officials But Song Sanyuan's seat teacher, it's impossible for him to force his disciples not to return to Beijing..."

For such a talent as Song Shi, it would be a pity if he was implicated by his elder brother and ended up at the frontier.But his achievements like this are still in Hanzhong, doesn't it prove that his eldest brother is not as hopeful of regaining favor as the world thinks?

Over the years, he often sent people to Hanzhong to peep and learn Song Shixing's industrial methods, and he also knew about his elder brother's current situation.

His brother, the emperor, has always kept his own law and order. He only cares about the shortage of food, grass and armaments in the army every day, and sometimes dispatches some food, grass, bricks, lime, etc., and he has not seen him repeatedly writing to beg to return to the court.From this point of view, it seems that the eldest grandson of the emperor can be kept in the palace only because the ordinary prince does not leave the capital for no reason. Although his two brothers and sisters-in-law go to Hanzhong, they cannot be named as vassals, so they must keep a grandson in the palace of the capital. .Such a child cannot be raised by a concubine alone, so the emperor's father thought of adopting him in the palace.

In the palace, it is also at the knees of the concubine Xian, not the empress of the main palace.

Thinking of the little queen who had been in the palace for more than a year and had just gained a foothold and wanted to use the queen's book to gain power, and wanted to take the power of managing the six palaces away from his mother and concubine, King Qi's face sank slightly, and he muttered: "Song Sanyuan can't go back to Beijing, so it can only be said that he should have this period of training right now. Forget it, now my good brother in Beijing is also starting an industry, and has developed talents through experience. I'm afraid that Song Sanyuan and my brother will meet again. There is no reason to return to Beijing."

Now his third brother built an industrial park by emulating the Song Dynasty, earned some money, and raised some poor people who had no food and clothing. His reputation in Beijing was growing day by day, and he could be called a "virtuous king" among courtiers...

It's a pity that the position of his elder brother is taken by the younger brother of the elder brother who is going to learn everywhere, and he can't even return to the capital, so why doesn't it make him feel sad.

He shook his head and sighed: "I'm in the Ministry of Rites, and I can't see virtuous ministers left in the wild. Let's also write a chapter to recite the merits of Mr. Song."

If his father Xu recalled Song Shi, it would be his recommendation; if he didn't call him, he would have the reputation of being a talented person, and he would be appreciated by Song Shi and accept the hearts of scholars from all over the world. Why not do it?

He had such thoughts, the three princes generally have such thoughts, Dachao Shang rushed to write the book one step ahead of him, put on the face of a virtuous king, and listed the achievements of the Song Dynasty in a fair and honest way: "According to the method of the exam, The appointment of foreign officials is complicated and competent, and there is no promotion to second-class employment. Hanzhong magistrate Song Shi was in office to promote industry, encourage agriculture and mulberry, run schools, and manage criminal names... Although the population of Hanzhong Prefecture is not as large as Jiangnan and Huguang Prefectures, but The things he promoted during his tenure can be called 'complex'."

Since he has done a lot in office, and he has never heard of any mistakes or omissions, he should be promoted to two ranks and become an official in the court.

After the king of Wei played, he raised his eyes to look at the emperor, with a look of radiance on his face.The king of Qi saw the look on the face of the minister he wanted to help and pretended to let go, so he couldn't help his teeth cold, and went out to ask for orders: "I also think what the king of Wei said is very true. I would like to guarantee that the Song Dynasty will return to the future. Pillar of the imperial court, he was really wronged at the border."

But I don't know why the Ministry of Officials suppressed his file?

The gazes of the two princes met Mr. Zhang Ge, the official official, and even the emperor followed their gazes, but did not ask any questions.

Elder Zhang Ge looked as usual, and came out of the shift indifferently, and explained to the emperor and the people who were aroused by the two princes: "Song Shi has only been in office for a year, and although the performance evaluation is good, it is not necessary to be promoted immediately. .

"I once overturned the old system in the past, and found that in the early days of the country, most officials were promoted after nine years of office, and local officials did not change pastors for nine years. Only when political affairs were consistent, did major events such as building bridges, paving roads, and running schools. In recent years, most of them are A three-year term, and leave at the end of the term. What can be seen in just three years? Many officials would rather do nothing, or only seek some immediate business affairs, for fear that they will not be able to settle their affairs clearly during their tenure and affect their performance appraisal. Interested in planning a new site from the ground up?"

It is precisely to set an example for officials all over the world, and to let Song Shi start a career that can truly benefit the country and the people, so he is not allowed to be promoted according to his own students.

He sighed with sincerity, slightly bowed his back and bowed his head, his eyes fell on the air, fully showing the mentality of a teacher who sacrificed his students' promotion prospects for the sake of national order.

Alas, the student refused to return to Beijing because of his lover, how can I say that?It is necessary for him, a teacher, to help cover up one or two things.

As expected, the two princes refused to fully believe his statement, and questioned: "Master Song has sent ministers of various ministries to study in Hanzhong, and built an economic park in Beijing. What else does he have? Do you have to spend two more terms in Hanzhong to complete the matter?"

Elder Zhang Ge only sighed, and did not answer for a while. Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of War suddenly walked out of the class behind him, stepped forward to bow and salute, and met the attention of the two princes, and took out a document from his sleeve: "Qi Your Majesty, this is a matter in the army, I would like to answer. I heard that the magistrate of Hanzhong tried to refine oil in the Song Dynasty and produced a good product that could resist the enemy before the battle. This product was made after the officials in Beijing sent them back. No one can take over, so I ask Long Live to allow him to stay in office for a few more years."

The emperor squinted his eyes, his face was stained with a bit of excited red light, and asked: "It's He Jiawu, you can offer it."

Wang Shangshu handed over the memorial with both hands, and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, please read the good news from the Yulin Town Memorial first!"
