This time, the pacification of Mingzhou was a good start.

"Then your Majesty is waiting for news from Ziqing and Bian Song."

The emperor repeatedly agreed, and then he told Gao Yue that although Gao Lang no longer wrote the Golden Palace for the time being, every three or five days, I still want to summon you to discuss various affairs and solutions.

In the afternoon, Gao Yue returned to the Political Affairs Hall and met with several other prime ministers. He bowed to thank Jia Dan, Lu Zhi and Du Huang Shang. When he wrote the Golden Palace, he was responsible for the affairs of the Secretariat, which made the court run smoothly.

The three of them also returned their gifts. Jia Dan was a humble gentleman who had no desire for power. As a senior figure, all he could do was to "prepare the position" and provide appropriate assistance;

Du Huangshang is generally considered a ally of Gao Yue. When he was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he met Gao Yue the most and cooperated happily with each other. In the future, what Du Huangshang thought was that when Gao Yue returned to Xiang's Dafang Town, he was promoted to Pingzhangshi, and he also came to assist the emperor and balance the world;

Lu Zhi is Gao Yue's friend. Although his political views sometimes do not match, he can plan for the whole world. Now he is preparing for the next year's tribute examination, selecting talents for the country and cultivating young people, which is what Lu Zhi is most concerned about.

Now, the entire imperial central mechanism has evolved again.

As the Minister of the Secretariat and the Prime Minister, Gao Yue wrote a poem about Jinluan and broke military and national affairs side by side with the emperor, which was a foregone conclusion;

The other three prime ministers are in charge of the executive work and are making progress towards the role of government officials.

After the meal, Gao Yue no longer had to go to the Golden Palace to serve, because the temporary agency against the Mingzhou rebellion had been announced to be disbanded. He rarely had half a day to spare, so he couldn't wait to ride a horse and return home to Xuanpingfang.

After all, the biggest advantage of being a decision-maker is that you don’t have to be cumbersome government affairs.

In the evening, Yun Shao was sitting in front of the desk, writing a letter to Xingyuan in detail.

This letter was for Yunhe, who lived in seclusion in Lujiaozhuang to "rehabilitate", and one letter was also for Xue Tao.

"The exam that I'll retire this year should come out, right?" On the other side of the curtain, Gao Yue sat on the bed, watching Da'er, Jiong'er, and Wei Ru playing with Ju Qiu, so he asked his wife.

"That's why I wrote a letter to Xue from Xingyuan Mansion who proofreads the book." Yun Shao replied.

After Han Yu passed the imperial examination, he was a charity and took the initiative to ask to go to Changze County, Xiazhou, which had just been pacified, as a county magistrate. Therefore, the emperor was very moved and did not let him be elected (the Tang system, after the imperial examination was elected, he could not be elected directly, and he had to be elected for three years, and then he could be elected for the Ministry of Personnel before he could be granted official positions. Gao Yue also participated in the imperial examination at that time and obtained the ninth rank official with Jixian Zheng). Since he became the county magistrate, Han Yu's achievements were within the scope of the "test course" of the superiors and the court.

However, this is what makes Gao Yue worry about Han Yu.

When he went to Baili to be the county magistrate, he built fields, built cities and recruited exiles, and all of them were very effective, so they were all medium or above during the exam.

Of course, at that time, Zhu Li was really good to him. After all, the preliminary assessment results of local officials were in the hands of a military governor like Zhu Li. Zhu Li said that he was excellent and no one could refute it.

In other words, the officials in the Tang Dynasty were divided into two parts: Beijing officials and foreign officials. Beijing officials were directly responsible for the school examination. However, for county magistrates like Han Yu, the first one to take charge of his class was the governor at the higher level. The governor inspected the county magistrate every year, and looked at the work of the county magistrate (as for the governor himself, he also had to take the course, and the governor was in charge of the higher level of observation and governor). Then the governor gave the county magistrate's examination and the "examination letter" written by the county magistrate himself (self-summary) and reported the initial opinions to the observer or governor, and then the observation or governor reviewed it, made it into a file, and then handed it to the Jinzouyuan (the governor was a minister of the court in the early Tang Dynasty). In the end, the school examination envoy appointed by the court was determined by the examination level.

As for the examination standards of county magistrates, there are many things in the book. For example, the one ranked first in the "Journal of the Hundred Officials" is "guiding weather, observing grievances, listening to lawsuits", and then the work results of "receiving and receiving teachings from civil fields". However, this is just something recorded in writing, and it is an idealized statement of official affairs in ancient China, that is, the so-called "idealization". In fact, the central governments of all dynasties were most concerned about the performance of local officials, whether they could collect taxes, whether the governor or county magistrate, in the eyes of the central government, they were actually tax collectors, that is, tax officials.

It’s like when Gao Yue was a county magistrate, he solved the problem of eating food in the army and got a lot of horses. To some extent, it was equivalent to over-completed tax tasks, in different forms.

Therefore, for county magistrates, the most fundamental task is two types, one is tax collection and the other is household registration management. As for customs and case judgments, they are all "partners and trivial matters". Their role in county magistrates' career may only exist in the same idealistic Romance text.

Emperor Daizong once issued an imperial edict, which talked about the order of "efficacy" of the governor and county magistrate, namely, "recruiting exiles, average taxes, increasing household registration, broadening the fields, and making news about the Qing dynasty". Those who are effective can "exceed the capital and award" them.

Look, there are news about the Qing Dynasty at the end, and household registration and taxes are the first priority. It can attract exiles, increase the tax base, and have more manpower to open up wastelands, feed more household registrations, and impose more taxes. This will form a virtuous cycle, which is what the court is most happy to see.

The imperial edicts issued by the emperor now are more obvious, "the household registration is increased, the governor is given a higher ranking, the county magistrate is given a reduction in the election, and the county magistrate is given a higher priority." The governor can be promoted, and the county magistrate can also reduce the year of election after the term of office ends.

"I don't know if he can understand the spirit of the imperial edicts in Tuizhi?" Gao Yue thought.

Yun Shao was very happy. She couldn't care so far. She felt that Han Yu was loyal and reliable, and had outstanding literary talent. Mingfu, which had just passed the first place, was naturally the most compatible with Xue Tao. So in the letter, he tried his best to match him and told Xue Tao that as long as he retired, he could be promoted to a certain department officer or a Censor of the Xiantai period without the end of his term of office. Then he could go to the county in the capital to be the juggernaut, and then he could return to Beijing as a doctor and then move towards the level of a minister.

In terms of family background, you two don’t have to dislike each other because there is no family background at all.

The right way is to get married early and the couple help each other.

That’s right, sometimes Yun Shao speaks so straightly.

The couple's thinking was not on the same route. After Yun Shao finished the envelope, he stood up and saw the flower rooster, Yanfrosted Biluo, who appeared behind the curtain at some point, staring at the owner in a daze, meowing constantly, wanting to get close, but he didn't want to be touched by Gao Da, Gao Jiong or Gao Weiru.

"Qingqing, I really want to touch the icing frosting Biluo." Yun Shao was overjoyed and begged her husband.

So Gao Yue raised a bell from the desk and shook it twice, which was the signal he stipulated.

Tang Frosted Biluo could only frown, reluctantly stepped on his snow-white feet, and came to his master's desk a few times.
