The days just passed day by day, and before I knew it, it was mid-February.

During this period, Xu Ping basically did not return to the mansion outside the city, but just rested in the small courtyard inside the city. He was very busy in the editing office every day, and he had no energy to run around the inside and outside the city.

Lin Suniang would take Panpan to live in the city for a day every few days, see Xu Ping, and then take care of Xu Ping.

After Li Yu passed the provincial examination, he stayed in the courtyard every day to prepare for the palace examination. According to Xu Ping's advice, he no longer read poetry and books for the rest of his life, but focused on studying the real questions of the imperial examination since the Tang Dynasty, plus several well-known high-quality books to plan the imperial examination. He commented on the poems and essays he passed down, and wrote them down in detail. Occasionally, Xu Ping would help him read it when he had free time, and he himself often asked the staff of the editorial office who came to Xu Ping's house for dinner. Most of the editorial offices were Jinshi, and there were several top scholars and the second place. Their opinions were often hit the nail on the head.

The most leisurely one was Xu Zheng. After the New Year, Xu Ping's position in the capital was stabilized and his title became a county marquis. Xu Zheng's circle of dating was a big step than before. In addition, Li Yong and his family were the most popular relatives. He himself broke the case of the official officials of the three companies a few days ago and fell into Yao County and became the chief governor. His old friend Xu Zheng followed the waters and rose.

As soon as February began, Xu Zheng started to run his own small circle, winning over a group of idle and powerful officials in the capital like him, saying that he wanted to set up a poetry club. The poetry club in this era is somewhat similar to the club in Xu Ping's previous life, and it was a group of people with similar status and status. They gathered together to eat, drink and have fun when they were idle. There were very few poems and essays in the real poetry club that could be passed down in later generations, and most of them were just games that suited the scene, and they were relatively poor in both literary and ideological nature.

The Xu family is rich now, and Xu Zheng is old, so Xu Ping supports his father to enjoy life. The most in the capital is rich and idle people. Xu Zheng integrates into that circle, and he is always better than looking for existence in court early and late. The Xu family has the best wine in the capital, endless spare money, and there are places to play outside the city, so you can just let Xu Zheng play crazy.

On February 19th, Xu Ping finally reviewed the first draft of the new regulations and relaxed his body and mind.

The first draft only includes the preliminary regulations of the three departments. It will also include a table of statistical analysis of data and documents that can be reported to superiors and other government offices. It will be divided into three parts and it will be completed until mid-year.

With the first draft of the new regulations, there are textbooks for public officials training, which solves the urgent problem. The subsequent contents did not require all public officials to master them, as long as senior public officials and officials can use them.

The sun is bright outside the window, and it is not so hot that it is uncomfortable. The willows have become green and colorful flowers have bloomed, which is the best time of the year. Officials from other yamen are busy calling on friends and enjoying flowers and outings. Only the editorial office is busy in the dark, and Xu Ping feels sorry and thinks to compensate them well.

While Xu Ping was sitting in her seat and was thinking about it, Liu Qing came in from outside and greeted Xu Ping: "Second envoy, are you free now? I have something to tell you."

Seeing that Liu Han was serious, Xu Ping hurriedly asked him to sit down: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. It happened that I'm fine now."

Liu Heng sat down at the lower head, was silent for a while before saying, "Deputy envoy, my subordinates did something without reporting to you recently. Don't take it to heart."

Liu Han is very different from Han Zong. Simply put, in terms of his ability to do things, he is better than Han Zong. However, Liu Han is stronger and often makes his own decisions to do things that exceed Xu Ping's wishes. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad. After all, he is just Xu Ping's subordinate, not a slave, and should have his own ideas. However, some things often have unexpected consequences, which catches Xu Ping off guard.

Seeing that Xu Ping did not speak, Liu Heng said again: "Recently, the public officials transferred from the county and county below in the editorial office, and hundreds of newly recruited people in the capital. The officials were afraid that they would cause trouble, so they found a few reliable people as their spies and reported the movements of the hundreds of people to me in time."

"So you heard that something is going to happen to them again?"

Xu Ping was a little helpless. Liu Feng used a spy to spy his subordinates and officials around him to spy on his subordinates and officials around him to spy on it. Now he is in charge of military cases, which is even more convenient. Xu Ping is not unaware of the importance of intelligence, but at this time, the officialdom lacks an intelligence processing mechanism. Once a spy is used to spy on his subordinates, it is easy to cause a situation where everyone is in danger.

First, the spies used are of different quality. It is difficult for you to know whether the information you get is true or false, and whether these spies will extort people by hiring people. Then, after the information is collected, it cannot be analyzed and verified, nor can it be kept confidential, and in fact it completely loses the positive significance of collecting intelligence.

Xu Ping would rather use an open system to achieve his goal than to spy it. This is the reason. Intelligence work, especially internal intelligence work, requires the support of the entire system. Once the system fails, spying on intelligence will become a cancer of the entire mechanism. However, Xu Ping did not forbid Liu Han from doing this, but was just careful to prevent his actions from playing a negative role.

Seeing Xu Ping's face was not good, Liu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, the official has discovered some bad things."

"Tell me, what are there?"

"Since the public officials began to listen to officials of each department's regulations on the three departments, some officials have intentionally won over these public officials. Of course, most officials just thought that they could choose capable people to join our department after a while, but some motives were not so simple."

Seeing that Xu Ping had no expression on his face, Liu Heng continued: "Especially Lu Gongchuo, the first person to preach to the public officials. It was embarrassing that no one answered the questions after class. There was a Kongmu from Tangzhou named Chen Zhengping who stood up and answered them, which made the scene come true."

"Isn't this very good?" Xu Ping said with a expressionless expression.

"Oh, this was a good thing. But after this incident, Chen Zhengping took the initiative to find Lu Gongchuo. Since then, the two of them have had close contacts, completely beyond the normal level of interaction between officials and minor officials. Also, Chen Zhengping suddenly became active and often invited public officials around him to eat, drink and play. Now it is very popular with the minor officials."

After hearing this, Xu Ping didn't know what Liu Heng meant? He leaned back on the chair and hadn't spoken for a long time.

Liu Heng was a little anxious and said forward: "Deputy envoy, the lessons of the disaster of Grand Master Liu are not far away!"

Xu Ping nodded: "I understand, I understand what you mean. But what do you want me to do? Retreat Chen Zhengping back to Tangzhou? Or just remove the order and stop?"

Speaking of this, Xu Ping shook his head: "This is not a solution to the problem. After leaving Chen Zhengping, as long as they are willing, they will naturally find another Li Zhengping. What's the use? If you want to find someone you can always find!"

"Are we just sitting there and ignoring it? Then why bother to spend so much effort!"

"Of course not. We have been up early and late and have done so many things. If everything is the same as before, even if you don't blame me, I will feel sorry for you. Forget it, what should you do most if you want these little officials to do things with peace of mind?"

"Of course, we should clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, especially those bad sheep. We must not tolerate evil spirits. We must clean it up immediately! The so-called dam that a thousand miles of miles will collapse into an ant hole. If you live in a short time, you will have a great disaster in the future!"

Xu Ping nodded: "Yes, it is true that you must be decisive in dealing with ulcers and abscesses. The right way to deal with ulcers is to be decisive and harsh. However, the so-called reward and punishment are clear. The first important thing is to reward, and the punishment is to wait. Once reward can be punished ten times. If you only have a one-month money, you will not be willing to give up this one-month money, and the losses caused will be far more than one hundred coins."

Seeing that Liu Heng was a little dissatisfied, Xu Ping said again: "People, especially those in the upper hand, always feel that thunder means can show their majesty, and they tend to be mean and rude. It is not advisable to over-reward, but it is more harmful to reward or not. Just like Chen Zhengping you said, I guess well, put aside his clinging to the powerful and noble, all aspects should be good among the public officials at the same time. Is it right?"

Liu Wen nodded: "The deputy envoy said it well. He learned quickly and remembered it hard, and he was indeed better than others."

"If you cling to the powerful and powerful, you must have some skills. Any capable person likes to let a fool follow you. Then again, you are not afraid of him clinging to the powerful and powerful. As long as we insist on rewarding you for your merits, you will be afraid of him causing trouble when we leave the public?"

Liu Heng still didn't understand. After hearing Xu Ping's words, he sat there a little discouraged.

Xu Ping said again: "If these public officials have another month, they should be assigned to each yamen. If you ask the military case to issue a regulation, how to reward those who have learned well, list the famous articles and publish the list. Remember, the most important thing is to make exceptions for those particularly outstanding public officials who can be transferred to officials in advance. After they are drawn up, report to the Secretary of the Central Committee, and the Secretary of the Central Committee agrees and issue an imperial edict."

Liu Heng finally understood Xu Ping's meaning and asked in a low voice: "The deputy envoy means"

"With the public, don't be used by those who are interested in using state affairs and markets for private grace. If he does a good job, the three departments will promote rewards according to the regulations, and there is no need for others to plead for mercy. After promotion, it will naturally be important, and people will do their best to do their best!"

Xu Ping made a very important point, and Liu Han understood it only then.

If you win over people, you naturally have to arrange for seats that are good for you. But in the root of this, it is better to use human rights in the hands of relevant yamen, and to raise people from those seats. If the relationship between the two parties is neglected for a few years, it will naturally fade. Will the Prime Minister's Office still have a good life with a minor official?

Lu Yijian was able to control many yamen, and many officials curry favor with him. Once he ignored it, his power would naturally decline quickly. He really had great skills and could cover up the world with one hand. To be continued.
