Wang Hou sorted out his thoughts and then said, "Your Majesty, whether it is the central government or the local government, officials are easy to govern, but officials are hard to clear! The officials who are flowing water are strong and hard to clean up! These local officials are deeply rooted and lush, and are mixed in the local area, but they are the main force in the government's work. To put it nicely, officials don't know anything. The officials are doing the name of punishment, money and food. The officials are responsible for the romantic and romance, and they recite poems and write poems. The only thing they can do is to stamp a big seal. If an official does not form good officials, he is afraid that he can't do anything in the local area. But he must not underestimate these local officials and make bad things, which is hard to guard against. Why did I save a considerable family business in Fengxian then? It was because of this."

"Why are you going to rectify the administration now? Should you start with the officials first?" Qin Feng asked.

"Yes, if you want to correct the source, you can only start with the official. In fact, as long as the chief official is capable, the local officials will be better. Because he understands, he can effectively curb this trend." Wang Hou said affirmatively: "The first step is to let capable officials take over and drive away those guys who cannot do things. The next step is to rectify minor officials."

"Since Wang Hou said this, Qin Feng obviously realized the seriousness of this problem. He has been in the army all year round and has basically never had any contact with these minor officials, and he has very little understanding.

"It's not easy, but no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done." Wang Hou's voice was a little heavy, "But I didn't expect that the development of Shunping County this time would be so serious. Obviously, the affairs of Shunping County are not as simple as I thought."

Mahou walked in from outside, "Your Majesty, Secretary Huo and Lord Tian are here."

"Let them come in." Qin Feng nodded.

After listening to Wang Hou's introduction, Tian Zhen's eyes were full of evil lights: "Your Majesty, this wind must not last long. You must give a thunder blow to warn all those who are lucky. If you do not suppress it this time, Wang Shangshu's reform of the administration will be abandoned halfway."

"Li'er is this, but you can't just kill him." Qin Feng said: "Tian Zhen, when you are responsible for this matter, you must first understand the whole story of this matter clearly. For example, whether this Yuanwai Lang solicited bribes or not, you can't just rely on our few words from Shangshu Wang, but you have to get real evidence."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll save you. If you want to kill, of course you have to kill them to convince them." Tian Zhen said.

"This matter is not just about the officers who suddenly slay the officials. There must be instructions from officials behind it, and some big names may even be involved. If you want to investigate, you must find out the truth. However, Tian Zhen, you have to pay attention to your personal safety when you go there. Since they have started, they will not rule out that they will go alone."

"Thank you for your concern. If you want to kill Tian Zhen, they don't have the ability to do this." Tian Zhen grinned.

Qin Feng turned his head to look at Huo Guang, "Shangshu Huo, how is the military force of Shunping County now?"

"Shunping County now has 3,000 county soldiers and average combat effectiveness. Ni Kun, the commander of the county soldiers, is over 60 years old this year and is relatively stable. He is a local from Shunping County and one of the gentry of Shunping County. His son Ni Shan is now the deputy commander of the county soldiers. Your Majesty is worried that the county soldiers will also participate in this matter and are afraid that they will cause trouble?" Huo Guang asked: "Would we mobilize the county soldiers there from Yongping County to get closer to Shunping."

Qin Feng waved his hand, "If this is the case, it will be too obvious and not beautiful. Secretary Huo, the county military system is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. You issue a transfer order to transfer Ni Shan to the army of Yuejing City to serve as a general. If Ni Shan happily takes office, it can prove that this incident has nothing to do with the county military system, and then the matter will be much simpler."

"The firewood is removed from the underwater." Huo Guang smiled: "As long as the county military system does not participate in this matter, the matter will be much easier. The scholar rebelled and failed for three years. A group of villains who are only foolish in front of Lord Tian are like little chickens, and they are not asking for it."

Qin Feng smiled and turned to look at Tian Zhen, "Find out the truth and punish the crime according to the law. Hehe, I founded the country in the Ming Dynasty. For the sake of stability in the country, I have always been generous to the old officials. Perhaps these people have forgotten that we are not talking about the words, but the knife. Since they are going to hit the knife, let the knife see blood again. If they don't kill, they will kill them, and they will kill them to the world and be sad."

"I obey the order!" Tian Zhen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will sue you. I will go back immediately and arrange it to go to Shunping County."

"Don't be so anxious. Just now, I was talking about the official affairs of the Secretary Wang. Tian Zhen, you don't know these things. Mr. Huo had dealt with these people before and was just a matter of gathering ideas. Then he also listened to the administration of officials, and it was urgent to change the official atmosphere at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty. It would be a matter of empty talk. No matter how hard we work, we can't stand the large group of moles below and keep digging your corners."

"Since that's the case, Your Majesty, why not invite the Chief Auxiliary too. This big article cannot be done by a department of the Ministry of Personnel!" Wang Houdao.

Qin Feng divided most of the huge palace buildings in North Vietnam, gathering all the central government offices together to work together, which facilitated the officials' concentrated discussions. As for now, they could arrive in an instant by temporarily summoning officials.

Quan Yun obviously knew about Shunping County. When he walked into Qin Feng's study, his face was a little heavy.

"We must resolutely suppress and kill a warned Bai." After performing the ceremony, Quan Yun's first words seemed a little murderous intent.

The chief officials of several important departments have a rare unification of opinions this time.

"Leave the killing matter to Tian Zhen to do." Qin Feng had already recovered and his mood calmed down. "Please ask the chief minister to come over. I suddenly had an idea. Everyone listened and went down to discuss it. We cannot just suppress the reform of the administration. It is not a way of balance to give lightning and not to use rain or dew."

Quan Yun nodded repeatedly: "I wonder what Your Majesty is going to do?"

Qin Feng said: "The reason why minor officials are difficult to manage is ultimately a management problem. The Ministry of Personnel manages officials, officials manages officials, and officials are incompetent, so minor officials will naturally be in power. This is a link of one growth and another decline. Now Wang Shangshu is solving the problem of officials, and what I want to say is the problem of officials."

"For a long time, the court did not pay salaries to officials, but only had some corresponding subsidies. The expenses of these officials were paid from various local taxes, which did cause the officials to have a small income. Wang Shangshu also introduced that in a county, those officials with real power all made a fortune, but the minor officials at the bottom did not live well."

Hearing this, the people in the room looked at Wang Hou, and everyone had a deep smile on their faces. Wang Hou was born as Master Xing Ming, and this was a fat nest for the plaintiff to eat the defendant.

Wang Hou smiled and said that his first pot of gold was not clean, and he never kept it from saying it.

"What should I do if I don't live well? Everyone has the idea of ​​living a good life, so naturally they have to rely on the mountains to eat and rely on the water to eat." Qin Feng's face became heavy, "and he was born from this. In the end, the ordinary people were unlucky. So this time, taking advantage of the reform of the administration, I want to include the officials in the official system and the court will pay the salary uniformly. Of course, they will also be included in the unified assessment and change this problem from the root."

Quan Yun was stunned when he heard this: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the court's finances cannot stand it. Now, a large number of officials who have been scattered are finally abolished, but a number of officials who have been scattered in several times have been added. The expenditure will increase instead of reducing."

Qin Feng shook his head and said, "On the surface, it's worth it in the long run. There are many officials in the local government and you don't pay any salary, but where does the daily income of these officials come from? It's not that they have made a name for spending from local finances, and it also gives these people the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes. Including these people in the system will effectively curb the chaos in local finances and make a pot of porridge refreshing."

"I think your majesty's idea is feasible." Tian Zhen echoed loudly.

Quan Yun glared at him. This guy was His Majesty's response. "Your Majesty, there are certain rules for the salaries of officials. How can these officials be classified as rankless? How much salary is appropriate to pay? People are not satisfied with their hearts. I am afraid that if we give them salary, they will still be greedy if they should be greedy."

"This is why I want to include the officials in the official system. If there is no rank and no level, we can just set a bad thing for them. This is not a difficult thing. Generally speaking, these officials are extremely difficult to get promoted, and they are extremely excellent personnel. Otherwise, it is difficult to be transferred from officials to officials. We can use other methods to compensate them, so that they will not have hope of promotion and salary increase, so they will have some other thoughts. So, I thought of a way, that is, these officials, we can use the method of years to slowly raise their salary."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Quan Yun didn't understand Qin Feng's thoughts a little.

"Sinceremony, I think so. For example, a clerk who has just started working and is designated as a junior, and his monthly salary is five taels of silver. Then he has not been promoted after three or five years of work. However, he has started a family and local prices have also risen. This money is inevitably not enough for life. What should I do? If we upgrade him to one or two levels, every time we upgrade, we will increase one or two taels of silver. If the highest level of a clerk is level nine, then the clerk has not been promoted after working in this position for decades, but he has been promoted to the highest position of a clerk of the ninth level. The salary he receives is higher than that of a county magistrate who has just taken office. Don't let them be more imaginative?"

Listening to Qin Feng's words, Quan Yun felt a gust of cold wind blowing, "Your Majesty, what financial resources are?"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Of course, the income of officials is indeed very high. Then we have given you such a high salary. Do you have to work hard? If the salary is high, are everyone fighting for this position? Then the evaluation of the Ministry of Personnel must keep up. If you do well, then you will be invited home. In this way, will the efficiency be higher and the efficiency is higher, and the staff required will be less? Wang Shangshu, the Ministry of Personnel needs to conduct a survey to see how many officials are needed for a yamen to get things done. After the investigation is done, we will approve the staffing of each yamen who will be paid by the state's salary."

"I think this is a solution!" Wang Hou pondered.

"I'm just an idea about this matter now. Everyone goes back and think about it carefully, and then write down their own ideas for me. A big article, of course, you must focus on your ideas. The Chief Supervisor, and you will calculate with Su Kairong. If you do this, what are the problems in finance? Let the Ministry of Revenue write an article to hand it over."

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is indeed a big article. In this way, Sha Xu, Taipingcheng and other places have been included."

"These places are not a problem. Shayang and Taiping are all in general. The officials are very simple and the number is not large. After a complete set of methods is available, we will start to implement them in these places. Of course, taking this opportunity to be opened in Shunping County. I want to try both extreme places. If both places can be carried out smoothly and the results are good, there will be no excuses in other places." Qin Feng took a deep breath.
