Chapter 386
A few days later, above the court.
Looking at the two proposals for the retirement of the Great Qin Dynasty and the reform of the official system submitted by Ying Yu, the entire Qilin Palace was silent, and all the courtiers fell into deep thought.
"Your Highness's proposal is very good. The Minister of Finance has a lot of work. Even if he works overtime every day, he is too busy. It is indeed necessary to refine the government affairs and increase the manpower."
After a long time, Shang Shu ordered Feng Quji to breathe a sigh of relief, and was the first to speak:
"If His Royal Highness can recommend a few more people like Xiao He to the minister, so that the old minister can get off work early every day and go home, the old minister will be grateful."
"Feng Shangshu, don't get cheap and act obedient. A talent like Xiao He can't be found so easily!"
"Since Xiao He left the household department, the daily overtime hours of the household department have increased by two hours. Now the old man almost forgot where the mansion is!"
Shi Teng, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, was not in a good mood.
"What do you mean, the last civil examination examination, besides the Yushitai, was the one that robbed the most people from your household department, so I went to the provincial government, and now there are only three or five people in Nuoda's government office Hands are very sparse."
Dunwei also said with a dissatisfied face.
In fact, during this period of time, there were so many affairs that several veteran ministers worked overtime until they vomited.
The ease of use of the talents selected by the liberal arts examination has also exceeded the expectations of various departments, and they have immediately become sought-after.
"As for talent, there will be a group of students graduating from the Royal Academy University soon. At that time, the crown prince will hold a graduation job fair. If you are short of people, you can go to interview on your own."
Ying Yu smiled and waved his hands: "Now let's talk about the proposal for the retirement system. Do you have any objections?"
After Ying Yu's words fell, the Qilin Palace fell into silence again.
"His Royal Highness, the post-retirement welfare guarantee, salary and medical subsidies have solved the worries of many officials. It is too late for the ministers to be grateful, so naturally there will be no objections!"
After a brief silence, Dunwei, who came from a poor family, spoke first.
Although the salaries of Daqin officials are quite a lot, they often have to support a large family, so what can be saved is actually not too much.
After retirement, if the difference in living conditions is too large, it will easily affect other officials in office, but now the retirement salary and medical subsidies can be said to have completely solved this problem.
Although the imperial court has to spend a lot of money for this, it will make the veterans work more vigorously, which is completely worth it in Dunwei's view.
After all, everyone will grow old, and a comprehensive welfare guarantee will definitely make people more at ease.
This cannot be measured in words.
"Time doesn't forgive people. I'm getting older. I really can't keep up with my energy."
"His Royal Highness, the retirement system, can allow veterans who have worked hard all their lives to go home to take care of themselves in their old age. It is definitely a great blessing!"
Feng Quji sighed, and then stood up to express his opinion.
As the oldest person in the court, he has a deep understanding.
Don't look at him, Feng Quji, who has a high position and authority, but always walks on eggshells, deeply afraid that if he does something wrong, he will lose his security at the end of the day.
At that time, not only will he lose the opportunity to enter the hero's cabinet, but his family may even be implicated.
"Indeed!"
Yao Jia on the side also nodded in agreement.
If ten years ago, even if you stayed up late to review government affairs, you would still be in good spirits the next day when you went to court, but now it is really impossible.
And after getting older, when doing things, he has become less decisive than before.
When you encounter something, you always have to think twice. Although it is a good thing to think before acting, it is not necessarily a good thing to do things under the eyes of the emperor. Sometimes thinking too much is not necessarily a good thing.
If you can retreat in time and leave a good image, it will indeed be much, much better than getting ruined and ruined after old age.
And this also solved the deepest worries of Feng Quji, Yao Jia and others.
In addition to improving productivity, in many cases, the main purpose of the reforms throughout the history was for the newly appointed emperor to seize power faster and realize the change of the court.
To put it bluntly, it is to sweep away those old ministers who are arrogant, old and fatuous, but unwilling to let go of power, and replace them with a group of younger, more aggressive, and more obedient newcomers.
And these veterans who have been swept away often do not end well.
And in order not to end the curtain too early, coupled with the changes after old age, it is often easy for the veterans of the regent to be unwilling to hand over power prematurely, forming a vicious circle
Although with Ying Yu's prestige, there is no need to worry about not being able to control the court, but what should Ying Yu's trusted officials, such as Chen Ping and Xiao He, do? .
If they don't step down, how can newcomers take over?
What's more, Yao Jia himself has a lot of black spots, so it's not difficult to get rid of them.
And if the retirement system is implemented, at Yao Jia's age, even if he stays temporarily, he will retire soon.
Without power, naturally there will be no threat to the new officials, and there will be no fire.
At that time, Yao Jia only needs to take care of his life in peace of mind and educate his children and grandchildren by the way.
With Yao Gao's ability, coupled with his own cultivation and connections, it may not be impossible to enter the three provinces and six departments in the future to continue the glory of the Yao family.
"Then what's left is the detailed reform of the official system and the implementation of the lifelong accountability system?"
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on the faces of Yao Jia and the others.
They don't have much opinion on the detailed reform of the official system.
After all, after refinement, their work pressure can be reduced a lot, which is definitely a great thing.
Although the rights will be dispersed, the final signing power is still in their hands, and the impact is not too great.
Moreover, Daqin is a centralized imperial system, and the real power is in the hands of Yingzheng and Yingyu. They dare not express their opinions indiscriminately in this regard.
That's absolutely deadly. It's a stupid act of sticking out your head to test whether Yingzheng's emperor's sword is still sharp.
I have been an official for many years, and I don't know much about handling government affairs. If I say that I have never made a mistake, there are really few.
According to the previous practice, as long as you leave your post, you will not be held accountable. In the end, the big things will be reduced to small things, and the things will pass when they are over.
But now the lifelong accountability system established by the prince is different.
Even if you are retired, you will be held accountable.
Moreover, it is still a big responsibility system, even if it is not your problem, but as long as there is a problem within the scope of your responsibility during your tenure, then you have to bear the responsibility.
For example, in the event of a natural disaster, the county guard has allocated the full amount of money and food, but it was corrupted by the state and county officials and did not distribute the full amount to the hands of the people.
Then the county guard and all state and county supervisory agencies will be held accountable for malfeasance.
This made the courtiers a little uncomfortable.
Since ancient times, officials have always been superior, as long as they are not corrupt and pervert the law, they are good officials.
Now, even if there is no problem with himself, but there is a problem with his subordinates, he still has to be blamed.
This undoubtedly increases their work pressure many times in vain!
This is not something to take lightly.
However, do they dare not accept it?
