  Chapter 2625 Being an official, what kind of official is it?

  Beiqu.

  Before, Wang Ying thought she couldn’t do it.

   Then slowly feel that I can do it.

  But now I start to feel that I can't do it anymore.

   This strong stimulation of wanting to be immortal made Wang Ying feel a little uncomfortable.

  It is very natural to get sick.

  I feel that I can be born capable of everything, either a fairy in mythology or a fool in reality.

  Wang Ying is not a god, nor is she a fool. She was originally in Chang'an and thought she had learned well, but when she really compared with Wang Ling, she found that she was like a stick. She is just an ordinary person. She suddenly gained a marquis, and she didn't immediately float up and swell to the point where she couldn't control herself, which is already very remarkable. In this era when knowledge is money and power, for Wang Ying, knowledge about how to be an official, how to be a marquis, and so on are all secrets.

   Want to read a book, but there is no book.

   Want to find someone to teach, but no one can teach.

  Even "good sisters" will not give everything to each other. What's more, they are also a collection of the same interests, not a true friendship like life and death brothers.

  If Liu Guanzhang hadn’t shown that indestructible brotherhood in the repeated tests, if they all walked up smoothly, how much friendship in adversity would there be? It's like Guan Yu died in history, and others are persuading Liu Bei not to send troops, because Guan Yu is just Liu Bei's brother, not their brother.

  As for Wang Ying, Zhen Mi and others, they are not even brothers and sisters. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as reporting to the group to keep warm.

   Such a group is the female officer.

  Wang Ying recalled the discussion between her and Zhen Mi when she was in Chang'an.

   General Hussars might want to promote female officials, this is what Zhen Mi saw. But if you want to become a female official, you can't just sit at home and wait for an official position or title to fall from the sky like Wang Ying. Therefore, if you want to be a female official, you must first know how to be an official.

   So, how should one be an official?

  Wang Ling taught Wang Ying a lesson yesterday.

  Officer, not sitting out.

   Rather, it should be done.

  If Wang Ling hadn't come, Wang Ying couldn't do anything. Because Wang Ying doesn't know how to be an official, and she doesn't know when to do things, she thinks it's like being in Chang'an, or on the road from Chang'an to Taiyuan, as long as she sits there, she just needs to say One goal is to have subordinates who will do well for her...

   So, what should be done?

  Wang Ying didn't understand.

  Wang Ying is sick, as Wang Ling, he should visit him naturally.

   When Wang Ling came, Wang Ying held Wang Ling's hand and earnestly asked for advice.

  Wang Ling sighed slightly, then sat down again, and asked Wang Ying, is there any matter that does not need to be supervised and tracked, and does not need to be specifically explained, and the officials under him can handle it properly?

  Wang Ying thought for a long time, but couldn't find the answer.

  Wang Ling looked at Wang Ying, and raised a question, "Why did Huang Dagong say that he couldn't find any clues at the beginning yesterday?" 』

  『Is it because he is lazy? ’ Wang Ying replied, then changed his words and said, ‘Is he afraid of trouble? 』

  Wang Ling shook his head first, and then nodded slightly after hearing the latter answer, "Why were you afraid of trouble before?" Then why not bother? 』

  Wang Ying pondered.

Wang Ling stood up again, "Xiaguan will take a step ahead and go to Puzi to wait for the Marquis of Yuyang... After all, Xiaguan is still the county magistrate of Puzi, and there are some things that need to be dealt with. It will take about two or three days. Rehabilitation, come here, if...」

  Wang Ling glanced at Wang Ying, was silent for a moment, nodded and said goodbye.

  In this era, not only Wang Ying does not understand, but many people also do not understand what an "official" is and how to be an "official". Letting go of Wang Ying, who harbors ideals for a while, but has a bruised nose and swollen face in reality, looking back at Fei Qian, it is also not all smooth sailing, and everything can be fulfilled.

With the increase of Fiqian territory and the initial establishment of the division of labor between officials and officials, the demand for officials has greatly increased. However, the imperial examination cannot be said to lower the standard because of the increase in demand. After all, once the standard is changed at will, Then not only the officials who passed the strict examination before became a joke, but even the imperial examination system promoted by Fei Qian would become a joke.

  The imperial examination cannot be relaxed, the personnel cannot be replenished temporarily, and the response of the female officials is not very high...

   Feiqian expressed that he had a headache.

China has been a big country with a relatively vast territory since ancient times. The great unification is a big stone thrown by Qin Shihuang in the long river of history. The emperors of all dynasties can see it. No matter whether they can feel it or not, they will first move in that direction. To strive to become the primary political ideal and goal of the rulers of all ages.

After the great unification, a large and effective administrative system is needed. From the central government to the local government, from administration, finance and taxation to the military, after these layers of institutions are set up, there will naturally be officials, large and small, with various interests intertwined. , all kinds of forces are intertwined, forming a huge ecosystem.

  Since it is an ecosystem, it will naturally have its inherent life cycle and inertia.

  When vested interest groups gradually settle in a political system and form huge rentier groups parasitic on the ecosystem, the system will gradually become bloated, inefficient, and gradually deviate from its original goals and functions.

  The ecosystem also has the function of self-healing, and when this self-healing ability in the system can no longer complete the correction of errors, major turmoil is inevitable...

   Various problems such as resistance and riots will erupt until internal and external forces cause the system to collapse, and a new system will be reorganized to perform the necessary management functions. During the rebuilding process, some loopholes in the previous system will be deliberately strengthened, or even sealed, and become a thick cocoon, making the ecosystem lose its flexibility, and may eventually become the next hidden danger.

   Not only Wang Ying is thinking about such a problem, but even Fei Qian is constantly thinking about it.

   There is a feudal dynasty in China, but the direction is completely different from that of the West.

   It can be said that although Western Europe has established a so-called alliance in later generations, they still live their own lives. It is a feudal tradition from ancient times to the present, but the outer packaging is somewhat different.

   And Huaxia is innovating...

  『If you don’t innovate, you will be perilous. ’ Fei Qian said slowly, ‘It’s like that Buddhist scripture learner…well, what’s that guy’s name? brother wave to go? 』

  Pang Tong flipped through the information, "Degranzi. 』

   Fei Qian curled his lips, "Let him choose a Chinese name for himself. 』

   Now here is a big Han, so of course you have to take a Chinese name.

Although Fei Qian didn't specifically emphasize that there must be Chinese names, but with the influx of more and more Hu people, it is really not easy to remember the names of these Hu people. Even Pang Tong needs to carry a Chinese name with him. Notes, focusing on the names of some characters, not to mention those ordinary officials. Therefore, it is more convenient for people like Degranzi, a Buddhist scripture learner, to take a Chinese name. Wouldn't future generations have to adopt a foreign name in foreign companies?

  Pang Tong nodded.

  『The official system must be changed, and it must be greatly changed. Just like the person who learned the scriptures, he learned the scriptures in order to change...We don’t just look at others to learn from the scriptures, we also have to "learn the scriptures", ancient scriptures, foreign scriptures, and then determine our own scriptures..." Fei Qian continued Said, "Since the ancient Yao, Shun and Yu, there have been changes, from abdication to inheritance, although there is no bell and tripod to remember its history, but presumably in the process, there must be turbulent winds and clouds, and there will be no casualties..."

  Fei Qian flipped through a table of case theories, and then took a copy from it, "This Xing Ziang is well written...but it's not enough. Shiyuan, take a look first...』

   Fei Qian handed Xing Yong's strategy to Pang Tong.

"Xing Ziang didn't talk about learning from the scriptures, but said that since ancient times, the scriptures are constantly changing. There are no scriptures that can last forever. Today's scriptures can also be passed down by future generations... ’ Fei Qian lightly tapped on the table, recalling Xing Yong’s words in policy theory, ‘‘The present respects the past, the Ming respects the present, and the future generations will respect the predecessors, so how can the future generations respect the same?’ This is very interesting. It's a pity that it's just a matter of discussion, without a more detailed strategy plan...』

  Pang Tongtong said while reading: "It is not easy to say these words. 』

  『Well, indeed. Fei Qian nodded, and then said, "How about letting Xing Ziang go to Qinglong Temple to serve as Zhengjie's school?" 』

  Pang Tong said: "Let him find the answer?" Do you want to mention him? 』

   Fei Qian stroked his beard, "Forget it, there is no need to mention something, if you can understand, it is better to understand it yourself, otherwise it will easily become pretending to understand, and it will be easy to do bad things." 』

"Too. 』Pang Tong nodded, then picked up a pen and made a record, so as not to miss something when his affairs became complicated.

  『By the way, where is Miss Wang? ’ Fei Qian asked.

  Pang Tong replied, "It is said that he is still in Beiqu." 』

"Ok? Fei Qian frowned, "Scared?" 』

  Pang Tong shook his head, nodded again and said, "It is said that he is sick...but if he is scared...maybe..."

   Feiqian pondered.

  If other people were so cowardly and incompetent, Fei Qian would not have paid much attention to it. But after all, it is Wang Ying, not that Wang Ying is a woman, but that Wang Ying is a banner, and it is easy to fall, which is of no benefit to the reform of Fei Qian's bureaucratic system.

  The bureaucratic system actually sounds simple, but it is actually very complicated.

  The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the budding period of Chinese autocratic bureaucratic politics. The Zhou Dynasty based on the patriarchal system of enfeoffment began to collapse, which represented the collapse of absolute feudal rule, followed by the rise of a new political system. In the late Warring States period, in order to strengthen their own national power, not only Qin, but also the other six countries promoted their own reforms more or less, and initially formed a political system of feudal absolutism and centralized power. The bureaucratic government headed by hired ministers to manage state affairs is the beginning of China's road to a bureaucratic system completely different from that of the West.

Leaving aside the differences in the definition of feudalism between the East and the West, as well as related academic differences, but looking at this bureaucratic system, both the East and the West have the same problems. They have all entered a chaotic situation, but unlike the West, Huaxia quickly found a new starting point.

  The Qin and Han Dynasties were the period when the bureaucratic political system was in full swing.

   During this period, various elements of bureaucratic politics have developed to a considerable height, and have profoundly affected subsequent dynasties.

  A huge bureaucratic system was established, although this "huge" is nothing compared to later generations. The original aristocratic system collapsed rapidly, and the new landlord class became the protagonist.

   This is innovation, unprecedented innovation.

In the concepts of later generations, the landlord class is undoubtedly synonymous with backwardness, autocracy, feudalism, ignorance, etc. However, in the early and middle periods of the Han Dynasty, the landlord class was the representative of emerging forces, supporting the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, and for the surrounding The conquest of the territory and the confrontation with the Huns.

   Further on, the Tang and Song Dynasties were the mature period of the bureaucratic system.

   What Feiqian thinks is to add something newer to the current bureaucratic system, just like a branch on a tree branch, which may bloom different flowers after a hundred years of cultivation.

Fei Qian felt that the main problem of the bureaucratic system in the Tang and Song Dynasties was that they did not properly handle the relationship between monarchy and ministerial power, which resulted in all internal struggles basically centering around these two powers. On the one hand, institutionalization has been formed and the decision-making group has been expanded. From the sole minister to the group minister, from the group minister to the cabinet, take a road that is somewhat similar to constitutional monarchy, but not the same.

  At the same time, the supervisory agency still needs to be further strengthened. The personnel, officials, and structure in the supervisory system, as well as the daily supervision, quarterly review, and annual rating of officials, all need to be further improved. Zheng Xuan's admonishment doctor is still a little unclear about the direction. The so-called admonition is not only to focus on Fei Qian, but also needs to focus on the middle and lower officials under Fei Qian. This is the real admonition. The role of the conference, rather than a deliberate show for the sake of the so-called clean name.

  Of course, how to maintain the independence of the admonishment agency and prevent it from being infiltrated by other forces will be a headache for future generations.

For this point, Fei Qian has not thought of a good solution for the time being. He can only mention it first, and then mark it for attention, and leave some methods for replacement, review, self-awareness improvement, and strengthening daily ideological construction, etc., and then follow up Observe what works and what doesn't.

  The current focus is to expand the number of officials...

  Chinese people have this ability, before they are castrated.

The system of the Ming Dynasty is the expression that the extreme landlord line has come to an end. In the end, all the upper and lower courts have become the shape of the landlord class. The core is the land, and all interests revolve around the land. Who is the emperor in his court...

  In the Qing Dynasty, to be honest, there was basically no innovation, only continuous regression. The Manchus became the rulers as a minority, and they didn't even think about the great integration of ethnic groups propagated by later generations. They were always on guard against the counterattack of the native Chinese people, and generously gave money and land to those foreigners. It is the constant increase of taxes, imprisoning their exchanges, increasing their burdens, and the Daxing literary inquisition...

  Fei Qian thought of this, and suddenly felt that something seemed to be clamped on his neck like a pincer, and suddenly the back of his head felt cold, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"To establish a bureaucratic system at present, a large number of bureaucrats must be needed..." Fei Qian said slowly, "Scientific research is one aspect, while female officials are another aspect... If female officials are used, they can be established in large numbers." Newborn officials... just, most of the ladies are used to staying at home and have no desire to become an official..."

  If the years can be peaceful, who the **** wants to move forward with a heavy load?

It can be said that Fei Qian promoted the system of female officials before and increased the number of positions for female officials in Zhiyin Prison, but the actual effect is not very good. Since the big man has not promoted female officials for a hundred or two hundred years, many ladies have no idea at all. But to become an official, on the contrary, it is a very acknowledgment of Fei Qian's proposal that women can also inherit the title...

  噫.

  This won’t work, no matter if you’re a man or a woman, you want to do it when it’s beneficial, and you can’t do it when you have to work. Such a person won’t be liked.

  Besides, if the system of female officials is not established and the number of officials cannot be quickly replenished, how can the large number of middle and lower-level officials who were originally hoarded in positions such as clerks and civil servants be replaced? How to establish the "four three two one" new official structure model of counties and counties that Feiqian needs to implement? How can the various branches of the central court have sufficient personnel to support them? Relatively speaking, the education system, medical system, cultural system, etc. do not need to face danger, and among the official positions that are biased towards the rear construction type, a large number of them are suitable for female officials.

  At this stage of the Han Dynasty, there are not no redundant officials, but more often, the responsibilities are unclear. In many places, there are no officials from the imperial court to manage, so they have to be delegated to the local gentry...

  Pang Tong nodded, thought for a while and said: "So, the Taiyuan matter is to show what the female officials can do, and you can't give up halfway." To have a unified policy, it is better to adjust Zhen to work as a co-operator... Before Zhen worked in the Baiyi Museum, he dealt with Huan Gongya's affairs with reason and evidence, and had a degree of advancement and retreat. Today, the affairs of Taiyuan are complicated, and Wang's daughters are timid, and their name is indispensable. It's better to use Zhen's side to assist, and it should be possible. 』

   Zhen Mi as deputy?

   Fei Qian thought for a moment. Although Xun Chen in Pingyang also added an insurance to Wang Ying and sent Wang Ling to Wang Ling, Wang Ling may not be able to control this speed well, and it may become that Wang Ling is the main one now, and Wang Ying is the assistant. Therefore, to strengthen the emphasis on female officials, it is natural to send women there, and Zhen Mi's previous performance is not bad, and she can indeed give it a try.

   Fei Qian nodded in agreement, and said at the same time: "That's it. Well, since Mrs. Zhen is allowed to go, Wang Yanyun doesn't have to go with her. 』Xun Chen's authority can only be assigned to Wang Ling, and cannot command the officials in the Sanfu area of ​​Chang'an, so it cannot be said that Xun Chen's behavior is a mistake.

  Pang Tong also agreed, and then said, "Then Wang Yanyun... why don't you let him go to Jiankun as an envoy to Jiankun, and be responsible for the communication between the Han and Jiankun, and the connection of various affairs... I don't know what the lord thinks?" 』

  『Well...that's it. Fei Qian thought for a while, then nodded, "Send someone to tell Wang Yanyun that we can recruit more young people from Jiankun to study in Chang'an Academy..."
