After all, Zhuge Liang was not a person who was tempted by power, so he just talked about his personal future and soon became concerned about personnel reform and reform after Liu Bei ascended the throne.

He also knew that Li Su had been holding on to his big moves in this field and was just waiting for the new emperor to take it out. However, Zhuge Liang had been in military affairs for more than a month and had no chance to care about it before and had no energy to help out suggestions.

Now that the time is ripe, Li Su will not hide it with him and tell him straightforwardly: "You can listen to this matter. I happened to invite Fa Xiaozhi to the banquet today and tell him something. You can also stay and eat together."

Of course, Zhuge Liang obediently accepted the order, and then took advantage of the time when Fa Zheng was waiting for Li Su to learn about the official personnel reform he planned for Liu Bei during this period.

Li Su asked the maid to make up for a round of refreshments, and then said while drinking, "After Your Majesty ascended the throne, I plan to rectify the selection of officials and administration from three aspects, and I must go step by step and not be rushing to achieve success.

First of all, there is the selection system. I advise Your Majesty to still retain the name of the prosecution system, but change the method of prosecution to local candidates. The imperial court center uses new regulations to check whether the candidates selected by local candidates are competent.

The second is the establishment of officials. Although the previous three ministers and nine ministers were not outdated, the departmental allocation was obviously out of date and lagged behind hundreds of years.

From the late Han Dynasty to the revival of Guangwu, the two emperors of Mingzhang, the dynasty, many times, newly established, and promoted officials such as Shangshu Ling and Shizhong. Some of the powers were actually similar to those of the Three Dukes, but their rank was extremely low.

The three dukes have high positions, but as long as they do not serve as the ministers at the same time, they will become empty titles. Nowadays, they can be eliminated to seek a new atmosphere. Of course, they must combine and merge the officials with low rank and heavyweights with the ministers to ensure that the names and realities are consistent.

Some of the nine ministers have no name, or are overlapped with the real power officials of other systems, including Weiwei, Taipu, Guangluxun, Wei General, City Gate Captain, Jinwu... Many generals who are in charge of the army and need Ma Zheng, and Cao officials are confused, so it is better to withdraw.

However, in order to prevent the reform from being too fast, the ministers were not adapted, and the number of the nine ministers could be kept unchanged, and the Shaofu and other things were too bloated. The farmers in the Grand Secretary also needed money and the people to divide the governance. After the reform, the Nine Ministers would still retain the nine ministers.

Moreover, the current nine ministers only have subordinate officials and lack deputy positions. The power gap is too large. All departments should have Shaoqing as deputy, so they can also place court officials with insufficient qualifications. The nine ministers' full positions are "if there is no one, they will be missing", and Shaoqing will be responsible for their affairs.

In addition to selecting officials and establishing officials, the third thing to change is the salary and benefits of officials. In the early Han Dynasty, the salary was calculated based on rice, because it was not far from Zhou and Qin, and the wealth was mostly made by land and bans as the medium.

This method has been used for four hundred years but has not been rectified, so it is really backward. Since the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, land annexation has been severe, and the names and realities of the people's households have long been inconsistent with their names, and the wealthy and giants are not known for their escort households. The problems of the Later Han Dynasty have been the same since Mingzhang.

What's more, the imperial court has now used the "renting and transferring" method. The last word "return" has translated the freight to a hard-to-use pass, and the circulation of private trade has increased greatly, so we can no longer pay the salary with heavy rice and grain.

Therefore, the court had to change the money, gold, silver, and brocade to pay salaries. The government provided guidance on exchanges. In fact, it would be paid for whatever it could be paid. Perhaps officials would bear some losses slightly, but it was acceptable. After all, before rice and grain were distributed, there were times when the price of grain fell.

The new judge decided that the five-foot-wide brocade was 6,000 yuan, and the gold was still 1,000 yuan, and silver was 1,000 yuan. The cotton cloth was temporarily not remitted to the officials, but it could be temporarily replaced by the officials' salary and color in a few years in the short term, because cotton cloth was still in a stage of rapid price reduction and would become cheaper in the next few years.

Three or five years later, if the court's salary is sufficient, the cotton cloth will be removed from the salary list. If the gold, silver and brocade are not enough, then it will be used for a few more years.

In addition to the way and medium of paying salary, the salary level must also be re-approved. As mentioned above, those who are less rank and have a heavyweight, those who should have the same salary as the three dukes will be increased to the salary of the three dukes, and like the nine dukes, they should have the same salary as the nine dukes.

After reissueing money and brocade, salary should also generally increase. At the same time, the law is strictly enforced. We must investigate corruption and bribery quickly. The autumn harvest will be soon this year. The battle in Hedong will be a little stopped. Yuan Shao must be in a hurry to rectify the internal affairs. He probably won’t fight again in autumn.

As the chief secretary of the Taiwei, you can also take the opportunity to help rectify the logistics and corruption in the army. This matter is mainly based on the court ruling and law, while the civil officials are mainly based on the integrity and ruling of corruption. Zhang Jifu, who had previously implemented the effective implementation of "rent, mediocre, and loss".

You will deal with Liu Ba in the military general's integrity, but the final result must be filed with Chief Yun. After all, the military position will be rectified and the laws cannot be messed up."

When Zhuge Liang heard Master Li talk about him, he quickly got up and said that he would accept the order and would do this job well.

Li Su actually knew in his heart that even Yue Fei said, "Civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death." Under the ancient imperial system, the requirements for military generals were not afraid of death and did not support troops. The money could only be a little bit controlled, eat less time and drink less blood in the army. Logistics waste should not be too serious, and other things could not be understood too clearly.

If the general really doesn't have money at all, the emperor should be worried. From the day the emperor system was born, Wang Jian and Qin Shihuang had not been able to open the heads.

Li Su felt that Zhuge Liang had made great achievements in internal affairs audits in history, and was able to achieve "officials are not allowed to be vicious, but people are self-respectful." This year, he has enough qualifications, and it is also good to allow him to accumulate experience in this area.

Moreover, among the five people who should have formulated the Shuke Ke, only Fa Zheng, Liu Ba and Zhuge Liang are now qualified. Of course, these people have to be absorbed in the supervision and implementation of the reform of the new emperor.

Li Yan, the fourth revisionist of "Shu Ke", was originally the fourth revisionist, and because he was too young, he is still a general in Jingzhou and has a status far below Zhou Taiganning and others, so it is impossible for him to practice the Dharma.

The other Yiji came to join Liu Biao too late and now has no status. He is still just a different state and cannot participate in legislation.

Even after Liu Bei became the emperor, Yi Ji, the person who brought the capital to the group, could only mention the Central Grand High School. As a diplomat below the third in charge, the most likely one is to replace Yang Xiu, who had just run away.

Let me give you an off-topic story. Because Yang Xiu's father Yang Biao followed the old team of the Luoyang imperial court to Yecheng to continue to be the Grand Marshal, Yang Xiu had to go to Yuan Shao's place, which was the past one or two months.

Fortunately, Yang Xiu bets on both sides. When he was a diplomat, he promoted Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's alliance. He was originally selling well and joining forces to cheat Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, so there was no obstacle for Yang Xiu to vote for Yuan Shao for his father.

The marriage between the Yang family and the Yuan family has always been around. After Yang Xiu went there, Yuan Shao married his niece to him. He also further promoted Yang Xiu's official position from the original Luoyang court's order to the Grand Chief of Lu, which was equivalent to being promoted from the third in charge of the diplomatic department to the second in charge.

Yang Xiu was unable to be held back by Liu Bei for a long time, which was also related to the temptation of Yuan Shao's ninth-rank official law on the aristocratic families, especially the fourth generation and the three-public families. Even if he had a great future with Liu Bei, he still made famous families vote for Yuan. This is also one of the reasons why Li Su had to carry out the limited imperial examination system through reform and recommendation.

Fortunately, Liu Bei is not short of talents and officials, and there are always talented people in the world. Those who are famous and famous families can vote for Yuan, and Liu Bei can also promote and discover talented and unreputable people.

Li Su and Zhuge Liang had just finished talking about his work arrangements in the subsequent reform. Fa Zheng, Liu Ba and others also arrived. After several people exchanged greetings, Li Su ordered the maids to have a banquet, and everyone talked about the first step of the reform while eating.

Fa Zheng saw that Zhuge Liang was there, and he chatted with him for a while to confirm whether Zhuge Liang knew the specific content of the reform of the system and whether he was qualified to hear about it. When he learned that Li Su did not hide it from him, Fa Zheng opened up the discussion on eating and drinking.

Li Su asked his personal secretary Deng Zhi to take a few scrolls and first clarify the specific methods of the exam: "Our recommendation and assessment reform mainly requires stabilization and institutionalization of the written test and interview, ensuring that each official must go through the written test and interview before being selected, and cannot be omitted.

In addition, the subjects for the assessment must be fixed. It can be different depending on the job category of the missing officials, and there are a few professional subjects, but the basic subjects for the assessment are the same."

Li Su said this, ordinary viewers who have opened the perspective of God may think that this is a variant of the imperial examination system, which adds more vagueness and uncertainty than the imperial examination system, and is not convenient to win the trust of the "interview" of poor families.

But in Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and Liu Ba and others, it was another feeling, because they were involuntarily comparing with the old system of recommendation, so they felt that except for "adding examination subjects and written tests", the other system was not much different from the system of recommendation.

This involves many misunderstandings about the judges who do not understand the system of recommendation: the system of recommendations actually attaches great importance to assessment! People selected from local governments must become mentors or attend Imperial College when they go to the central government, and then pass the assessment skills before they can become officials.

However, the later inspection system was becoming increasingly corrupt and the assessment was ineffective, but the system itself always insisted on taking the exam.

Zhuge Liang was curious: "There seems that there is no difference between the old system except for the subject and the required written test?"

Li Su pointed out: "Of course the gap is very big. The previous examination system was nominally tested, but the actual implementation was deteriorating. One of the key points is that there are too few people who are inspected every year. The examination is to be scheduled for officials to do. This kind of examination is just a checkpoint, not a selection. What is the significance?

Therefore, the exam must be different. I am going to advise Your Majesty that after the reform, the local government must take the number of candidates every year at five times, and then the court will investigate. After the inspection, the four poor scores will be returned.

Such reforms will not be too big, and local prefects will still support them, and the aristocratic families will not resist immediately. As long as we boil the toads in warm water and implement the first step, they will be unable to resist later."

Fa Zheng thought about it and said with a wry smile: "The current deterioration of the system is now, and local prefects are randomly advising the aristocratic families to repay their kindness or cheat. Now that they want to recruit five times the number of people at once, most of their relatives will not be able to become officials, and I am afraid they still have to resist."

Li Su is obviously experienced and has been well-behaved in the past few months and is full of bad water: "Xiaozhi, this is where you need to secretly appease them. You can try to differentiate and disintegrate, and find some relatively willing state and county chiefs and local families who are relatively willing to cooperate.

Secretly revealing them a temporary cheating method, so that they can give priority to supporting Your Majesty’s reforms. As long as most states and counties have to support them, the rest of them will not be able to make waves and can be defeated by each one."

Fa Zheng was stunned: "What should I do?"

Li Su: "For example, we can give the best cooperating prefect: he can give one of the five places to his relatives, and the remaining four are the ones who are not as good as those who are not as good as those who are related to the relationship. After such an assessment, will the relationship be able to win? Then what are they still eager to be the first to oppose reforms?

A few years later, once the thorn-headed toad is boiled to death by warm water, I will plug this loophole in the unspoken rule, and then I will clearly stipulate: If the results of the investigation find that some candidates are too frivolous and obviously do not deserve the name, and the local chiefs will also be held accountable for their false political achievements.

It is also stipulated that those who are just filling in the numbers will not be promoted again in the future. There are even other ways. In short, this is not what you need to ask now, and I haven't figured it out."

Li Su is obviously very experienced in dealing with such things. After all, he is from the 21st century commercial society. He has seen many cheating methods such as "how to buy bids to ensure that you continue to win bids after the bidding system is changed", and even "how to fight against bids".

If you just take out a little bit of a claw, you can’t cure the fraud in the imperial examinations at the end of the 2nd century?

In fact, he had thought of the subsequent tricks. For example, in a few years, the examination method of "each county will select five candidates for Maocai every year, and actually admit one Maocai" can be adjusted to "each county will select five candidates for Maocai every year, but it will be disrupted with candidates from other counties in the same state, and the top N names with the same number of counties under the state will be awarded the title of officials."

Wouldn't this easily force the prefects to win in the candidates? The candidates in your county are generally worse than those in the next county, so they may be wiped out. No one of your county can be promoted this year and they are all occupied by the next door. Only everyone can choose the best one, and the "battle" will naturally collapse.

But now we just need to tell Fazheng the first move first, let Fazheng do it, pretend to report to the opposition, and temporarily dismantle their will to resist.

After the opposition collapsed and Li Su blocked the leak, it was not Li Su who broke his trust, but Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng is equivalent to an informant who informs the fish breeder who releases water and raises water.
