I, The Identity of the Immortal Master, Has Been Exposed

"Actually, the best way to change the official governance of the Tang Dynasty is to find some effective methods to frame all officials with regulations and consolidate their behavior!"

Ye Yu said lightly: "For example, you can assess the performance of officials based on each official's local financial income, and even the level of local people's livelihood!"

"Combining the salaries of officials with their performance, those who fail the local financial assessment will be directly dismissed, and those with high performance levels will naturally have higher salaries. In this way, these officials will definitely improve the performance level of their territorial territories. It is bound to be a thriving scene when you come to all parts of the Tang Dynasty!

"Can it still be so?

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then a gleam of light erupted in his eyes.

In the past, he only wanted to try to avoid the phenomenon of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Datang, but he never thought of raising officials' salaries.

After Ye Yu said this, he suddenly realized.

As officials, everyone must have entered the dynasty as officials from the perspective of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning. Who wants to take the risk of losing their heads to covet the people's fat and the people's money, isn't it because they are poor.

As long as you borrow Ye Yu's method and raise the salary of an official, who would take the risk of losing their head, definitely not!

"Sir, this method is wonderful! 35 Ying Zheng looked at Ye Yu with bright eyes: "Using this assessment method can not only consolidate the behavior of officials, but also increase the local fiscal revenue. If this is the case in the whole country, then there are three The country's fiscal revenue will more than double every year!"

"Yes, yes, I can make use of these methods too." Chongzhen also patted his big legs and said excitedly: "It is a good way to make money, and when I go back, I will convene officials to formulate new assessment methods for the administration of officials!

"Well, you can also combine the performance standards of officials with the income of the treasury." Ye Yu said with a smile: "The higher the income of the treasury, the higher the performance of these officials. The basic salary plus commission is combined, and the official's income is higher. Salaries can be increased by at least ten times, and since then only fools have gone to embezzle the little food in the hands of the common people!"5

"Combined with the treasury revenue?" Li Shimin hesitated when he heard it, scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Sir, the treasury revenue is the most important financial matter of the country, how dare you use it at will!

"Stupid!" Before Ye Yu could speak, Ying Zheng snorted coldly and said, "You Datang is now the richest among our four dynasties. With such a developed business, the annual treasury revenue is more than 10 million, and you also care about this little money. ?"

"That's right!" Chongzhen also persuaded: "Brother Shimin, even if each official's salary is increased tenfold, that little money is only a drop in the bucket for your Tang Dynasty, but the benefits that can be created are more than tenfold, you are completely You can do as Mr.

"Then... well, let's try as the gentleman said." Li Shimin nodded and reluctantly agreed.

Ye Yu's method is indeed a method, and Li Shimin is also aware of it, but he was really poor before the Tang Dynasty, and the days when a penny was spent on court officials really impressed Li Shimin, that's why he was so obsessed with development Business, so strained the revenue of the treasury.

However, if it can really increase Datang's income tenfold, it's okay to give it a try.

Ye Yu looked at Li Er but didn't say much. Li Er has always been indecisive, which is his nature, but when his normality came to the benefit of the reform of the official system, he would know what true fragrance was.

He rubbed his chin and suddenly said: "In addition to the reform of official management, there is another way to avoid the phenomenon of corruption and corruption between officials and officials!

"Old Li, after you go back, you can set up a new department called the Picket Department. Its main function is to supervise the work of recommending, selecting, and appointing officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the imperial court, and to prevent oversights in employment that are not in the form of rules and regulations, as well as cronyism. Bribery of officials and other things that go against the laws of the court!""

"At the same time, there are impeachment reports of violations of rules and regulations, cronyism, bribes of officials, etc. in the aspect of employment, and supervise or directly handle cases in the DPRK that violate the imperial court's appointment of officials.

"This is feasible!" Compared with the previous hesitation, Li Shimin was more straightforward this time. He smiled (cgag) and said: "To tell you the truth, sir, since I discovered that the corruption phenomenon in Tang Dynasty has reappeared, I have It has been discussed with the cabinet to re-establish a related department. The picket department you mentioned is coming at the right time!

"Yeah." Ye Yu nodded. Cao Cao recorded in a maddened manner that the picket department is a good thing. After the establishment of Dawei, there must be another department.

Ye Yu continued: "The Censor Terrace is also an important department for the imperial court to conduct inspections and reporting work. After you return, Lao Li, you will increase the importance of the Censor Terrace! 35

Anyway, a lot has been said, this time Ye Yu simply explained all the administrative methods that can improve the cohesion of the ancient court that the netizens have seen on the Internet before.

"First, strengthen the censorship's full force in punishing officials. In addition to impeachment, the censorship can also directly investigate the officials' violations of law and discipline.

"After the preliminary verification of the officials' violation of laws and disciplines, the Censor Station can directly initiate an investigation to determine the crime. If the crime committed is only a violation of the court's regulations, but not against the court's laws, a corresponding investigation and warning can be carried out. If it is a serious violation It is a major crime ordered by the imperial court, which is handed over to the Ministry of Punishment to issue documents, arrest and apply for public prosecution.

Trial and sentencing by Dali Temple.

"Second, strengthen the supervision function of the Censor Desk in the local area, set up subordinate departments of Censor Desk in the local prefectures and counties, directly supervise the illegal behavior of local officials, and at the same time accept the reports and expose the illegal behavior of officials, and deal with the illegal behavior of lower-level officials. Behavior can also be investigated.

For example, for county-level officials' illegal behaviors, state-level censor officials can directly deal with them, while for officials at the same level, they are dealt with by the superior censor desk. 35

Ye Yu spoke in a lotus-like manner, but Li Shimin didn't dare to be distracted for a moment, and listened with relish.

Although the power of the censor station in the Tang Dynasty was very great, even the prime minister could impeach, and even the emperor could give advice, but the censor station only had the right to hear the news, but did not have the right to directly investigate and deal with officials.

Moreover, the authority of the censor’s platform is limited to the court hall. Although ten censor censors have been established, each censor censor does not often secretly investigate the situation of various states and counties, but is trapped in the citadel, because according to the general rules In the system of the Tang Dynasty, the censors of supervisors had to attend the court meeting every day.

In this way, no matter how powerful the censors are, they will be out of reach in the face of local affairs, and even if they are determined to deal with the officials' illegal behavior, they are powerless.

In order to effectively implement the reform of the administration of officials, it is necessary to strengthen the authority of the censors desk, increase the censorship agencies at the state and county levels, and strengthen the supervision power over the central government offices and local officials.
