Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

"That's right, it's the talent training gradient!"

"Talents selected through the imperial examination cannot be directly assigned to official positions. They can be first assigned to central enterprises for training. Central enterprises need to manage business operations and personnel, which can help talents improve in government affairs, economics, and management. Central enterprises are relatively small, which is more conducive to learning. When talents have learned enough, they can be transferred to official positions."

"In this way, new officials will have more experience when they take office, which is a blessing for the Ming court and the people!"

"In this process, some people who are incompetent and unsuitable for politics will also be eliminated!"

"Because this method will take some time, I do not recommend that the people on the list be immediately replaced. On the contrary, I suggest that Your Majesty select a group of officials, including those on this list, and arrange them all to various central enterprises in the Ming Dynasty, so that they can learn the current business model and understand the specific situation of economic development!"

"When the time is right, we will select the most outstanding officials from these officials who have been sent down to take over the vacant positions. This is not only reasonable but also fair. Those selected will be talents who can contribute greatly to the development of the Ming Dynasty!"

After Ouyang Lun said this, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony fell silent.

Li Shanchang's face had turned extremely dark.

He was not a fool, so he naturally understood Ouyang Lun's meaning.

Although Ouyang Lun talked for a long time without recommending anyone, the first suggestion he made was to freeze the list of officials submitted by Li Shanchang. Once Zhu Biao agreed, it would mean that his plan would fail.

I thought that even if Ouyang Lun asked, Li Shanchang would at most give up some of the places, but now it seems that he didn't get any of these places.

What made Li Shanchang even more angry was that Ouyang Lun actually proposed to arrange those people on the list to work in state-owned enterprises. This sounded like training, but it was clearly a demotion!

State-owned enterprises sound nice and are the enterprises of the Ming Dynasty court, but in fact, real officials look down on these so-called state-owned enterprises. After all, these state-owned enterprises are just for making money and doing business, and businessmen have the lowest status in the Ming Dynasty.

Letting these officials become "businessmen" is more painful than killing them.

Thinking of this, Li Shanchang became anxious and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I think Ouyang Lun's suggestion is totally unworkable! The court officials have worked hard to get in, but now they are asked to work in state-owned enterprises. This is no different from being demoted for no reason!"

"These officials recommended by the old minister are all talented people. Instead of promoting them, they lose their current positions. This is simply humiliating them!"

"Master Li, please don't be anxious. Didn't I just say it? Transferring them to state-owned enterprises is only temporary. The purpose is to let them learn advanced management concepts and means of economic development!"

"Now our Ming Dynasty needs development. If you don't know how to develop the economy, how can you be an official of the Ming Dynasty?" Ouyang Lun said lightly.

"Hmph! Ouyang Lun, you sound nice. It's easy to go, but it's hard to come back. If someone interferes, won't they never be able to come back?" Li Shanchang said coldly, "I don't agree, unless you send the same number of officials from the Prince Consort's Party to go with you!"

"Well, to be honest with you, Lord Li, I really have this idea! Then why don't we send all the officials to central enterprises to study and work, and then make a comprehensive assessment and reassign their positions based on their outstanding performance?"

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"You and me." Li Shanchang felt cheated when he heard Ouyang Lun's words.

Just when Li Shanchang was about to refute, Zhu Biao said, "Yes, I think your idea is good!"

"To be honest, I also feel that it is inappropriate to directly promote the officials on this list. Although the officials on this list usually perform well, they cannot be said to have significant political achievements. It is unfair to other officials to promote them rashly!"

"Why not follow the suggestion made by Brother-in-law Ouyang and establish a talent training gradient? The personnel of these central enterprises are all civil servants who have passed the recruitment examination. Although they are not as good as the talents of the imperial examination in all aspects, they are still talents, and many of them even have outstanding abilities. Mao Youde is an example. He was originally a businessman, and relied on the civil service examination to successfully become a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty court."

"Now he has become the commander of the Tax Inspection Department. His ability far exceeds that of ordinary officials!"

"In the future, the court will have to make extensive use of these civil servants and let them contribute to the development of Ming Dynasty!"

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he looked at Ouyang Lun expectantly, "Brother-in-law, please continue to talk and teach me and the other three ministers a lesson!"

After he finished speaking, except for Li Shanchang who had a gloomy face, Song Lian and Lu Chang also looked at Ouyang Lun with curiosity, waiting for Ouyang Lun's answer.

Ouyang Lun is such a scheming person!

Li Shanchang murmured in his heart. He was still careless. When he heard Ouyang Lun say that he would not recommend any new officials, he thought that Ouyang Lun was trying to please him. He didn't expect that this guy actually had a backup plan!

With just a few words, this personnel arrangement was frozen!

The “talent development gradient” is really vicious!

Not only will it be impossible for the Huaixi Party officials to fill these twenty-odd positions, but the positions of the more than twenty officials he nominated will also be in jeopardy!

This is a huge loss.

At this moment, Li Shanchang had the intention to kill Ouyang Lun for the first time. Ouyang Lun's brain was unmatched in the entire Ming Dynasty. As long as Ouyang Lun was alive, Li Shanchang and the Huaixi Party would be threatened and weakened day by day, let alone return to the peak!

In the past, although Li Shanchang was wary of Ouyang Lun, he was more confident in himself. He thought that as long as he planned properly, it would be easy to deal with Ouyang Lun. Was Liu Bowen smart enough? Didn't he win in the end?

But now even though Zhu Yuanzhang has abdicated, Zhu Biao has become the new emperor, and even the Northern Yuan Dynasty has been defeated, the situation of the Huaixi Party is still difficult to describe. At this time, Li Shanchang suddenly understood that the biggest threat and obstacle to him and the Huaixi Party is Ouyang Lun!

It was because of Ouyang Lun's existence that they did not contribute anything to Zhu Biao's succession to the throne, which made them lose a wave of merit in following the dragon. It was also because of Ouyang Lun's existence that the benefits that the Huaixi Party gained in the war against the Northern Yuan Dynasty were very few!
These two waves are the two biggest turning points in Li Shanchang's mind!

The more Li Shanchang thought about it, the more depressed he became. Ouyang Lun naturally didn't know Li Shanchang's mood at the moment. In response to Zhu Biao's question, he was quite calm and slowly said, "Your Majesty, the talent training gradient is a huge and systematic project!"

"In fact, I have already started preparing for this a long time ago. The previous education reforms, starting with the nine-year compulsory education system and vigorously building primary schools, middle schools and universities, will also include a nationwide literacy campaign."

"In addition to these, we also need to establish a sufficiently extensive internship and probation system. That is, new employees must first do an internship, and officials must be arranged for probation before they are promoted. The internship is one year and the probation is three months. Only after passing the internship can they be arranged for a formal official position, and only after passing the probation can they be officially appointed!"

"The Ministry of Personnel should pay special attention to and examine officials who are on trial or on trial basis, so as to reduce the problems of officials' lack of ability, experience or inaction."

"In addition to these, I can also write a set of regulations for the appointment of officials in the Ming Dynasty. Only by clarifying the appointment of officials can officials be more motivated and the number of incompetent officials in the court can be reduced as much as possible."

After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly, and his eyes were full of appreciation and admiration when he looked at Ouyang Lun.

It was almost common knowledge in the court that Zhu Biao was going to carry out an administrative overhaul, and he cleared out more than twenty officials above the fifth rank in one go. This also made Zhu Biao's first battle a success, but after this, Zhu Biao fell into a dilemma.

That is, after removing those incompetent and inactive officials, how can we promote capable officials? ?

Li Shanchang was full of jealousy. He also thought that his strategy and political skills were superior to everyone else. Even Liu Bowen was not his opponent. He had been in the court for so many years!
But every time he faced Ouyang Lun, Li Shanchang felt powerless, and he always lost miserably in every fight!
What made Li Shanchang feel even more inferior was that the strategies mentioned by Ouyang Lun were all very good, but he could not think of them at all, and he couldn't even stop them. He had tried to stop them, but in the end he lost even more miserably!
Even if he wanted to refute it directly, he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute. It seemed that in front of Ouyang Lun, he, Li Shanchang, was just a child and could not withstand a single blow!
This made Li Shanchang very painful.

"Okay! Okay!"

Zhu Biao smiled and nodded. He fully agreed with Ouyang Lun's suggestion. He thought about it in his mind and decided that if he followed Ouyang Lun's method, he would be able to completely solve his next step after eliminating those incompetent officials who were just sitting there doing nothing.

In fact, although the Ming Dynasty had been founded for more than 20 years, the real imperial examinations had only been held a few times, which made the Ming Dynasty's talent pool quite scarce. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered many officials during his years as emperor, which made there even fewer officials in the court. Now that Zhu Biao was carrying out a rectification of the civil service, he further eliminated incompetent officials.

It is also a matter of subtracting officials. How to increase the number of officials and ensure the capabilities of these increased officials has always been a difficult question in Zhu Biao's mind.

Not only that, Zhu Biao also discovered that the officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty were of varying quality, and the situation of nepotism was becoming more and more serious. The rectification of the civil service must continue, but if the rectification is too extreme, the number of officials will be reduced again.

This will cause a problem where there are no new officials to fill the vacancies.

Now the "talent gradient training" proposed by Ouyang Lun undoubtedly provides Zhu Biao with the solution.

To be honest, if it weren't for what Ouyang Lun said, even if Zhu Biao knew that most of the people on the list were from the Huaixi Party, he would have chosen to agree. The reason was very simple. That is, apart from the list submitted by Li Shanchang, it would be difficult to gather officials who met the requirements and were not too bad in ability!
But the situation is different now. Ouyang Lun's words rekindled Zhu Biao's hope.

"I think this talent gradient training system is very good and can be promoted!"

"But brother-in-law, what Lord Li said just now makes some sense. If we do this, will the officials have any objections? Will it cause opposition from all officials?"

Zhu Biao frowned.

To put it bluntly, talent gradient training means extending the promotion speed of officials and conducting strict assessments. Once an official fails the internship or the probation, the original promotion will be in vain.

This is quite difficult for officials to accept.

Zhu Biao also thought of this, so he quickly brought it up.

In response to Zhu Biao's question, Ouyang Lun was quite calm, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this at all. The ones who should be worried are those incompetent officials who want to fish in troubled waters!"

"If he can't even pass the internship and trial period, who would dare to believe that he can be a good official and make his own contribution to the development of Ming Dynasty?"

"The capable are promoted and the weak are demoted. This is a simple truth. If you are against such a reasonable, legal, fair and just employment system, then there must be something wrong with the person who is against it. I suggest that Your Majesty investigate this person first!"

After Ouyang Lun finished speaking, he took a special look at Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang naturally saw Ouyang Lun looking at him. His face, which was already bad, became even uglier now.

Ouyang Lun, what do you mean? You just want to talk about me, right?

Li Shanchang roared in his heart.

"Brother-in-law, you are right. I was too gentle before. I kept giving in to some officials, which made others think I was weak!"

"Brother-in-law, please write down the Ming Dynasty official appointment regulations and talent training gradient strategy in detail as soon as possible. The Ministry of Personnel must implement them immediately!"

"What I want is capable officials and ministers who can contribute to the Ming Dynasty!"

After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao felt more confident and stopped hesitating. He spoke directly.

boom!
Upon hearing Zhu Biao's words, Li Shanchang felt as if struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, still holding the list of officials he had drawn up in his hands, and his arms were trembling slightly.

It was destroyed again by Ouyang Lun.

His plan was about to be realized, but now it was destroyed!

Li Shanchang is now very frustrated. He doesn't know how to explain to the officials on the list and other officials of the Huaixi Party next?
The promotion list of these officials of the Huaixi Party was frozen, and they were also sent to central enterprises for training and internship (End of this chapter)
