Chapter 273: The Edge of Crisis
At the regular work summary meeting of the State Shepherd's Office every five days, Liu Bei announced his 20-year production and construction blueprint for Liangzhou, and also announced the implementation of new political systems such as the elimination system for the last place.

From this moment on, he will strictly demand Liangzhou officials and judge the work achievements of Liangzhou officials.

Bonus points for excellent, minus points for poor ones, implement the responsibility system, and refuse to shirk and evade.

Small officials are reviewed every six months, county magistrates are reviewed every year, and county magistrates are reviewed every three years. Those who pass the review will continue to serve or be promoted.

Don't think that you can sit back and relax after becoming an official. If you don't do well in government affairs and are unqualified, you have to step down and leave.

This system was implemented in Liangzhou with the permission of the imperial court. For the officials of Liangzhou, the shock it brought to them was not insignificant.

In the past dynasties, whether it was the imperial court or the local government, there were similar rules and regulations aimed at bureaucrats, but in the end they were either superficial or existed in name only.

But it must be said that during the period of time when it was just established, the implementation of those rules and regulations was still possible.

It was just that a group of people hit the guns and became sad and unlucky.

Even if Liu Bei was just on a whim, it was very crucial to the big guys in the first period of time, especially the little officials.

Moreover, with Liu Bei's superb abilities and his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult at all to cover the sky in Liangzhou. It is impossible for them Liangzhou people to compete with the inheritors of the classics.

He is not just a referee, he can even be regarded as a rule-maker. He personally goes off to compete with you. Do you think you can beat him?
It has to be said that the superimposition of the clan clan of the Han Dynasty and the successor of the classics and the superposition of the State Mu is simply a bug-like existence. In the era when the order of the Eastern Han Dynasty still existed, this identity could even be said to be unlimited in a place like Liangzhou. zoomed in.

In order to implement the brand-new political system, Liu Bei chose Guoyuan, who is old-fashioned and upright, to be responsible for the selection of talents in the Liangzhou State Shepherd's Mansion. and judgment.

As for the standard of adding points and deducting points, Liu Bei first discussed with the officials of the State Shepherd’s Mansion a first version of the standard, which will be implemented temporarily. If there are other needs in the future, it will continue to be improved. It can be added or deleted. The standard is not forever Changeless.

At first, everyone was really worried, but considering the changes Liu Bei had brought to Liangzhou in less than half a year since he arrived in Liangzhou, the long-term plan he had set for Liangzhou, and his reputation of being fair and strict, he was uneasy. The emotions also gradually disappeared.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, Liu Bei has spared no effort in managing his own reputation, and he has also spared no effort in managing the government affairs of Liangzhou. Liu Bei helps everyone find various ways out, and Liu Bei takes the lead in doing various things.

He himself led by example, did the most, and lived a rather simple life.

There are no singing, dancing, music, gorgeous furniture, or any extravagant decorations in the house, and there are not even a few people around Liu Bei who serve him in daily life.

With such a high status, but such a simple life, there is no one in Liangzhou who does not admire Liu Bei's virtue.

Isn't it a blessing for them to have such an officer?
To have such an officer, isn't it much better for them than Zuo Chang, Song Xiao and others?

"Junhou considers Liangzhou wholeheartedly, so how can we disobey Junhou's order?"

"This is something that is obviously beneficial to Liangzhou. How can we object?"

"It is a blessing for Liangzhou and all Liangzhou people to have a prince in Liangzhou. I will resolutely obey the orders of the prince!"

Do not drive Yan Zhong, engage in Yan Wen, and Gai Xun, the prefect of Hanyang County, understand Liu Bei's ambitions best, recognize Liu Bei's ability to bring real changes to them, and take the lead in supporting Liu Bei's political reform, and are willing to accept the system of elimination from the bottom assessment.

With the support of the three of them, this policy was quickly implemented.

Liangzhou Prefecture Government and Hanyang County Government took the lead in accepting and expressing their support.

Subsequently, Dong Huang, Governor of Wudu County, Xiahou Dun, Governor of Anding County, Xia Houyuan, Governor of Beidi County, Zhang Fei, Governor of Longxi County, and Guan Yu, Governor of Jincheng County successively issued declarations, expressing that they absolutely supported all the reforms made by Liu Bei and responded with all their strength. Liu Bei's call.

That's six counties.

The heads of the six counties took the lead in accepting it, and the county magistrates below had nothing to say, and expressed to the state pastor's office that they were willing to obey the order of the state pastor's office and did not dare to disobey it.

Afterwards, the prefects of Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Zhangye and Zhangye Juyan sent letters to the Liangzhou prefecture expressing their willingness to support Liu Bei's political reform. Respond to Liu Bei's political call.

The four county guards and the two captains were not promoted by Liu Bei, but had been in office before.

This time was different from the last time, probably because they had seen Liu Bei's military strength and political strength, and knew that they could not resist Liu Bei's political connections, so it was different from the last time when they first resisted and then accepted, this time, they quickly accepted.

That's right, replacing five county guards in one go, promoting a political reform, and getting the approval of the court so quickly is enough to show that Liu Bei is definitely not comparable to them in terms of political power.

They have reason to believe that if they go against Liu Bei and refuse to accept this political reform, Liu Bei will definitely be able to take down their county sheriff position in a short time, replace the sheriff with his own people, and then pass it.

Now, Liu Bei can't find a suitable excuse to replace them, so if he can't beat them, then join.

I took it.

The days of extravagant and corrupt officials in Liangzhou are over.

Next, what Liu Bei needs is a group of capable and efficient officials, officials who can do things and do things well. Under his rule, officials not only need to see their family status, but also start to move closer to their abilities.

Liu Bei played a dangerous game here.

Of course, the selection of officials is still the gatekeeper. This is the rule of the game for the whole big man. He can't move for the time being, but he can still do things in the special area of ​​​​Liangzhou.

The selection of officials is the same as before. How officials were selected in the past will be selected in the future. The literate population limits the scope of Liu Bei's selection of officials. The conditions in all aspects are immature and cannot be changed suddenly.

This is a problem that he can only touch after he takes full power in the future, not now.

But this does not mean that he can't do anything now. When it comes to the promotion and dismissal of officials and officials, he just wants to draw closer to his ability and speak with his achievements.

I can't stop you from becoming an official, but as long as I'm not satisfied, I can stop you from doing it.

Don't talk to me about the family's political status and political power, and don't talk to me about personal connections and umbrellas.

Comparing my political status?
Comparing me to political power?
Compare my connections and umbrellas with me?
How dare you?
Because of Liu Bei's special status, he has changed the operating rules of the official system in Liangzhou in a sense. In Liangzhou, Liu Bei has established a political special zone, a political special zone with him as the core.

Still the same sentence, that is, in Liangzhou.

Leaving Liangzhou and going to any place, except for the possibility of Bingzhou, even Youzhou has no possibility for him to pass this policy.

It happened to be Liangzhou.

But at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a Liangzhou that wandered on the edge of the rules of the game.

Therefore, the edge of a crisis is often a great hope.
