Chapter 73 Hamster
Xiong Jing, who has been the king for ten years, is not clear about how to govern a country, especially how to supervise and punish officials. He is not clear about the situation. He is more about judging the situation, that is, making decisions in the general direction, and then maintaining an internal balance. Of course, this balance does not include the Song family, Qu family, Jing family, and Zhao family, who have already granted them city, land and people, and it is impossible to treat them as close ministers. If they do not work hard, the weak clan will inevitably be inevitable.
With the dual system of monarchy and prime ministers in the pre-Qin period, he was a qualified king. If he did not understand the complex operations in the prime minister's government, he would not understand the meaning of the official positions such as Da Nei, Shao Nei, Taicang Lingcheng, and Datian Lingcheng. He did not need to understand these things, but just to understand the enemy in depth, he had to learn humbly once.
After the county system was established, the king naturally had to assess the county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate. Neither Qin County nor Chu County, they would not assess the benevolence, righteousness and morality of the officials, but instead served hard food and dry goods. The simplest thing is what Shang Yang mentioned is the thirteenth number of a strong country: the number of warehouses (reports) in the territory, the number of strong men and women, the number of old and weak, the number of officials and officials, the number of food used in words, the number of benefiting the people, the number of horses, cattle, straw, and the number of salmon. In fact, there are more assessment contents in the Qin law, the law of Chu, and the law of Qi.
The assessment content is like this, and the specific method is: "The officials and the people who ask about laws and regulations are called "the so-called officials who ask the laws and regulations... Each of them is a quartet of six inches. The year, month, day, and time of the Ming Dynasty, the name of the laws and regulations is reported to the officials and the people... That is, if the officials who ask the laws and regulations are given the laws and regulations, the officials who ask the laws and regulations carefully hide the right wooden tiles, hide them in the room, and seal them with the long seal of the laws and regulations. Then, if there is something later, they will use the documents to hold them in the books."
When an official takes office, he must meet with his direct officials. When the county magistrate meets with the king or the prime minister, the county magistrate should also meet with the officials in the management of grain. After meeting, he is given a wooden coupon of one foot and six inches long, also called the left coupon. The letter is written: The grain of the warehouse in the territory, the geometry of strong men and women, the geometry of old and weak, and the geometry of cattle, horses and straw flies. This is the bottom account. After the official takes office, he must conduct a review. If he does not review, he will admit the account.
If there is a left coupon, there will be a right coupon. The right coupon is also the bottom account, and the number is exactly the same as the left coupon. When the year ends, the two sides can reconcile the accounts. The king took the right coupon and asked: You have been an official for a year, and the warehouse in the country will increase the geometry, the strong men and women will increase the geometry, and the cattle, horses, and straw fish will increase the geometry...
In normal years, the numbers on the coupon will definitely increase, and the numbers of unlucky years will decrease. However, you should be unlucky, your county should also be unlucky. Why does his number increase but your number decrease? There are three situations for reducing without reason: either you are greedy and take the increase for yourself; or you don’t know how to govern at all, and I give you my county and town, and the more you manage, the less you manage; in the end, you have really worked hard and are very capable, but you are an unlucky person, and my county and town are unlucky with you.
During the reporting process, the official with the most growth is called the "Zu", which is the first place; the official with the least growth or even the decrease instead of growth is called the "Dian", which is the last place. Through comparison, the "Zu" rewards and promotions, while the "Dian" will never be hired, even if it is removed from office. Therefore, Han Feizi will say in "The Lord's Way": "Where the talisman is ordered, that is, the "whose rewards and punishments are born."
This assessment system is a system of planning. The government of the Ministry of Gross Management manages various statistics on counties across the country, which is equivalent to being in charge of the National Bureau of Statistics. These numbers measure the strength of the country and also concern the promotion and rewards and punishments of officials. In September, the Qin State set the annual counting time in the country in August. In August, all counties and counties will submit the plan to Xianyang for the assessment.
When Xiong Jing entered Daliang, Zhang Cang, who was able to become the chief of the Taicang because of his foolish plan, was sitting in the secret room where the officials in the granary were governed. He just said righteously and refused the bribes and tests of the officials in the mansion, saying that he would never accept bribes. He would not accept bribes, nor would he leave the secret room where the right coupon was hidden. He hated the officials for being itchy.
"Report to the emperor, Daliang sells goods today for 219 gold." When it was getting dark, his assistant ran in.
"Good!" Zhang Cang smiled happily, and then asked, "Is there anyone in China who can exchange gold?"
"Yes, there are people in Sanchuan County who are paying 50 gold today."
The price of gold in Qin has always been constant, and one gold can only be exchanged for more than 9,000 Qin half a liang. Zhang Cang persuaded Zhao Zheng to double that one gold can be exchanged for more than 18,000 Qin half a liang, and fifty gold can be promoted to one title. Of course, this method is better than Dong Yi's ban on depositing gold and silver, but this offended the immediate boss. In order to be an official, Zhang Cang couldn't take care of it.
After the promulgation of the law, no one redeems the gold for several days. Today, someone finally redeems it. Although it only has fifty gold, it was still open. Zhang Cang smiled and praised it all over again when he heard this. Zhang Cang was happy, but the assistant officials were sad, "How dare you ask, should I really stay in this room?"
"Why can't you stay in this room?" Zhang Cang was surprised. "I ordered the chief to take responsibility for the master's plan, how could he slack off?"
"Ling Cheng is like this, but he will block the wealth of others." The servant was even more unhappy.
"Even you want to lobby me? " Zhang Cang looked at the assistant officer carefully. Of course he stayed in the secret room and knew what this move meant. "How can this ruler be compared to the hamsters of the traitors in the country? Humph!"
The servant was the private official who Zhang Cang had just promoted, and he was considered his person. Unexpectedly, this person who had just been promoted also helped those people speak, which made Zhang Cang very disappointed. When he was frowning, a voice came from the outside, "Who is Ling Chengyan a thief hamster?"
The speaker was Dong Yi, the official in charge of the Mizu, and followed him in. Datian Order Yixuan. Zhang Cang hurriedly bowed and told him: "The minister is wrong, but the minister is wrong."
"A hamster may be said to be, this traitor..." A stranger suddenly landed beside him, and was still a disciple of the great scholar Xun Qing. Dong Yi disliked Zhang Cang very much. "Today, the Censor of Sanchuan County has impeached you to the enemy. The Daliang merchant only bought corn, cloth, and did not buy silk and jewelry. Thirty coins per stone of millet, you must sell 32 million stone of millet to get 100,000 gold, hehe..."
"The subordinates are afraid." Zhang Cang did not dare to tell the truth. He was criticized for his low-selling strategy at Qutai Palace that day. He tried to ask for grain or horses? If there is less corn, it is just that the people have no food. If there is less horse, the military will be shorter. This is a matter of choice, not a matter of capitalizing on the enemy. He also took the initiative to undertake the task of raising 100,000 gold and raise enough gold to buy horses.
"If you want to stay in this room, don't be careful when you can burn the candle at night." Dong Yi ordered this, and without waiting for Zhang Cang to bow, he took Datian and ordered Cheng Yixuan to leave.
"What should I do if the censor impeached?" The servant was so scared that his face turned pale. He was very worried that Zhang Cang was guilty and he was also in charge of the situation.
