Compete for a job?
Everyone fell into deep thought.
There is no need to talk about performance appraisal, which is a strategy that has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
But this competition for the job...
It probably means that whoever has stronger abilities will be promoted, right?
Zhao Jun added, "Also, standardizing salaries for officials nationwide is ridiculous. If the governors of a wealthy state and a poor state receive the same salary, who would be motivated? They'd just muddle through. If salaries were based on performance based on local governance, tax revenue, the number of self-cultivating farmers, and the nation's policies that benefit the people, would anyone dare to do their job half-heartedly?"
"Uncle Nima, think about it. If the number of self-cultivating farmers was included in the assessment, and officials' salaries and promotions were linked to it, would officials still dare to help landlords and tycoons seize the people's land? They would definitely change their stance and help the landless refugees increase their arable land."
"Also, salaries in poor states are low, and promotions are slow, so they must rack their brains to enrich their states and counties. This way, the enthusiasm of local officials who were originally lazy and indolent in their work is mobilized."
"However, the standards still need to be measured. For example, a poor state with many mountains and few people has a limited upper limit. Asking it to become as prosperous as an agricultural state entirely covered in plains is a bit unreasonable. Therefore, we still need to conduct on-site assessments before setting the standards."
"In addition, the supervisory system must be improved. Whether a policy can be successfully implemented depends on whether the supervisory system is strong enough. Otherwise, even the best policies will be put into place without oversight, and the end result will be nothing."
"Although there are still many loopholes that can be exploited, as long as we are ruthless and dare to remove officials who do bad things, even those who cause serious consequences, such as causing the destruction of people's families, we can kill dozens or hundreds of them to deter officials. I don't believe they will not actively take action."
"As for Fan Zhongyan's proposal to reduce the number of officials, this can be slowed down. Cutting so many officials at once would have a huge impact."
"So, in general, it's important to get officials to do real work first. The first step should be to mobilize officials who are doing nothing so that they can get things done. They should contribute their light and their efforts, and at least not just lie at home every day, eating government rations and waiting for salaries."
"This will also help weed out the incompetent officials, providing an excuse to remove them, and promote the competent ones. It won't cause a sudden nationwide wave of dismissals, sparking opposition from officials across the country."
Instead of directly laying off officials, why not motivate them first?
This suggestion was very innovative. Zhao Zhen and others listened carefully. After listening to Zhao Jun's explanation, they found it very reasonable.
If we directly cut the number of officials, officials all over the country will definitely rise up and attack us.
What then did the court ask them to do?
This is what officials should do. Before, you could say that the division of power was unclear and that they were just holding empty positions and could not do anything.
But if the power is broken down and every official has something to do, then they will have no reason.
If you don't do your job well, it will be an excuse to fire you.
It would be even better if you do a good job, and you can also promote talented officials to the court.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, everyone, including Zhao Zhen, looked at Zhao Jun with admiration.
The top students from later generations are indeed different. They have their own ways.
"But actually, there's no point in saying so much. We are in New China now, not the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Jun shrugged and said, "Besides, that coward Song Renzong wasn't brave enough to support reform. He was always suspicious. Do you know why he became one of the few wise rulers in the Northern Song Dynasty? It's because he did nothing. Unlike other Song Dynasty emperors who recklessly commanded and harmed the country, that was his greatest contribution!"
Damn it!
Zhao Zhen ran to the bench.
It was Lu Yijian who was quick-witted and quick-handed and grabbed him.
The other prime ministers grabbed his hands, held his legs, and covered his mouth, and dragged him out.
After they were far away from the wooden house where Zhao Jun lived and the sounds from this side could no longer be heard from the other side, Lu Yijian loosened his hands that were covering Zhao Zhen's mouth. A shrill roar came from Guanjia Hall.
"Don't stop me, don't stop me, I'm going to beat him to death, I'm going to beat him to death!!!"
