Chapter 294 Selection of Officials
Lin Cunde said that if they didn't come, they would be expelled and made common people. This punishment would be very serious! Those scholars want to become officials through studying all their lives!
Even if you are a scholar, the court will give you preferential treatment!

Now, I want to be expelled!
But Chen Zhao didn't dare to object, Lin Cunde had absolute power here!
"Yes, I will send someone immediately to notify them, asking them to find a way to come to Hangzhou today!" Chen Zhao immediately said with his hands in hand.

"I said that anti-corruption is not the focus, but the implementation of the New Deal. By then, all officials will come to attend the lectures. By the way, Dazai, you will also have to arrange for people to attend the lectures and take notes. I may not go to other places. It's been publicized, you can do it when the time comes!" Lin Cunde looked at Wang Zhi and said.

"Yes!" Wang Zhi said with his hands raised.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Cunde asked the two of them.

"No, but with so many vacant officials, shouldn't it be time to select them?" Wang Zhi looked at Lin Cunde and said, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but it is Lin Cunde who has the final say in selecting officials, so he needs to ask Lin Cunde for instructions.

"The selection is about selection, but there is no rush in these two days. We still need to promote some local candidates, let them get familiar with it here first, and when the time is right, they can be transferred to other provinces. In addition, the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the capital also has a list of spare officials. , have you carried it?" Lin Cunde asked Wang Zhi.

"Carry it!" Wang Zhi nodded, how could he not carry such a thing.

"Where are those candidates, those who are not planning to take the exam, and those who are waiting for candidates, have you brought the list of candidates?" Lin Cunde continued to ask Wang Zhi.

"Bring it!" Wang Zhi nodded.

"Okay, if that's the case, it's easy to handle. If we have free time in these two days, let's study the appointment of officials. Officials who have expired due to Ding You will be given priority, followed by Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy, and then candidates who are waiting for vacancies!" Lin Cunde He said this to Wang Zhi. After hearing this, Wang Zhi nodded in agreement.

Soon, Wang Zhi and Chen Zhao left, and Hangzhou was also shrouded in the shadow of the killings. No one knew who the Jinyiwei would arrest next. When the surrounding prefectures learned about it, they were also frightened, especially when they knew that Hangzhou The prefects were all arrested, and most of the county magistrates were arrested. They were so frightened that they couldn't do anything!
Now Lin Cunde is in Hangzhou, and they don't know where the next stop will be. They can only go home to explain to their families, want to deal with some money, and want to find a place to bury the money, but as soon as their servants leave, You will be targeted by Jin Yiwei. It is impossible to bury money, and it is impossible to escape. As long as you leave the place, you will be caught!
When some officials learned that their family members had been arrested by the Jin Yiwei, they were in panic all day long, and some were paralyzed with fear!
No one thought that something like this could happen in Zhejiang. So many officials were arrested. There was no problem in making money like this before, but now, it will actually kill them!

In the afternoon, most of the county's edicts, juren, officials and scholars who had expired due to Ding You's term came. Of course, there were some people who were far away and couldn't come. When Chen Zhao came to report, he was very nervous. Seeing Lin Cunde looking at the list of people who had not come yet, Chen Zhao was worried that Lin Cunde would deal with them, so he said: "Sir, can you give them more time during the day? If they don't come tomorrow, they will be punished?"

"Isn't that what I said this morning? I will give them a chance, but I also hope they will cherish this opportunity!" Lin Cunde put down the list and looked at Chen Zhao with a smile.

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir. I will go and urge them immediately!" Upon hearing this, Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Lin Cunde.

"Go ahead and arrange a place for them to live. If they don't come tomorrow morning, I'll hand over the list!" Lin Cunde said to Chen Zhao.

"Yes, sir!" Chen Zhao quickly said with his hands in hand.

Soon Chen Zhao went out, and Wang Zhi also sent over the candidates who had been registered in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and were waiting for vacancies. There were quite a few, more than 2,000 people. There were also more than 100 officials from Ding You who had expired, and there were more than 100 officials from the Hanlin Academy. There are dozens of Jinshi, and all of these people can be called upon!
Lin Cunde sat in the tea room and told Lin Cunzhen not to let anyone disturb him. He needed to select a list and select some officials!
Some of those who have expired as Dingyou have served as county magistrates, and some have returned to Dingyou while serving as magistrates or fellow magistrates. These people must be promoted to the same level or even promoted. They may not be promoted. It also depends on whether they have been corrupt before. If there is any corruption, Lin Cunde Station will naturally not be activated!
If not, then look at his reputation in the place where he works and whether the people approve of him, and then decide whether to promote him or not!

For this reason, Lin Cunde also needs to ask Zhu Ji to investigate the areas where those officials work and their hometowns!

Lin Cunde initially selected some lists, and the ratio was almost three to one. Some people will definitely need to be eliminated by then. If they are qualified, they can be used in other places, right?

Besides, in the next one or two years, various places will definitely crack down on corruption, and many positions will be vacant by then!
In the evening, Lin Cunde was tired of watching and thought that he should go shopping in Hangzhou. As the saying goes, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Since I came to Hangzhou, it would be impossible not to go shopping, so he led the guards, Qiu Shuang and Lin Cunzhen, Lin Cunzhi, let’s go shopping in Hangzhou together! Nowadays, the city of Hangzhou is also very lively. There are many shops on both sides of the main streets. Customers are coming in and out. There are also many people shopping on the streets!

Lin Cunde led them shopping until very late before returning to the mansion!
At this moment, Chen Zhao was already waiting in the living room, and Wang Zhi was also there. They also knew that Lin Cunde had gone shopping! But there is no other way, they can only wait!

"Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, why are you still here? Is there anything important?" Lin Cunde learned that they were coming, and he quickly walked to the living room and apologized to them.

"I don't dare to take it seriously. The city of Hangzhou is really good. It's hard for adults to come to Hangzhou. Of course you need to take a look around. We don't have anything important to do!" Chen Zhao stood up and said to Lin Cunde.

"Well, it's true. If there weren't such corrupt officials, I believe Hangzhou City would be more prosperous, and hiding wealth among the people would be more beneficial to our Ming Dynasty! Okay, let's go, let's go drink tea and talk while drinking tea!" Lin Cunde said to the two of them with a smile. After saying that, he led them to the side room next to him. Lin Cunde sat down and started making tea.

At the same time, he said to Wang Zhi: "We have to work hard these days. We must also pay close attention to the conviction of those officials. As for how your majesty can exempt them from guilt and punishment, we will write a report based on the seriousness of those officials' crimes. As for whether His Majesty will agree to the petition, that depends on His Majesty’s will. I don’t dare to make the decision without permission!”

"Yes, yes, if that's the case, it's the fault of those officials!" Wang Zhi nodded quickly and said. Before, he was still thinking about interceding with those officials, but now, he has completely given up the idea. The families of those officials are quite different. Their own families had much more money, and they were too courageous.

"Well, by the way, wait a moment!" Lin Cunde said and went to his temporary study room to get the list he had drawn up!
After handing it to Wang Zhi, he said: "This is the preliminary list of officials I want to activate. I will ask the Jin Yiwei to check those Ding You and those who are Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy. If there are no problems, they can be appointed. For those who have been promoted , I am going to let them try their jobs to see their ability to govern a county. If they can, they can be officially appointed. If they can't, then replace them!

I selected these people on a three-to-one basis. Although we are in Zhejiang Province, other places probably also need officials. I will give priority to training these people. I believe they can do better when they go to other places! Those who are promoted can inform them to come to Hangzhou and ask them to arrive as soon as possible! "

Wang came over directly, nodded quickly and said, "Okay, are you just informing the general public?"

"Yes, it is just to inform the candidates. Other people still need to be investigated to make sure there are no problems before they can take up their posts. After all, they have expired and have served as officials before, so their appointment can be more direct, but A pre-appointment inspection is also required!" Lin Cunde nodded and said to Wang Zhi.

"The pre-appointment inspection makes sense! It makes sense!" Wang Zhi nodded quickly after hearing this.

"Well, let the officials handle this matter. Let them come to Hangzhou within the prescribed time limit. Before I leave Hangzhou, I need to train them for a few days to let them know how the New Deal will be unfolded and what will happen in the future. Manage the people!" Lin Cunde said to Wang Zhi.

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter tomorrow. Are we going to send officials to Songjiang Mansion tomorrow?" Wang looked directly at Lin Cunde and asked.

"Yes, cooperate with the Jin Yiwei to arrest people, interrogate them, and then bring them to Hangzhou!" Lin Cunde said to Wang Zhi, who nodded!
Chen Zhao just sat and listened, feeling very horrified in his heart that Lin Cunde actually directly appointed the candidate who was waiting for a job. Moreover, Wang Zhi actually had no opinion on this matter, even though he knew that everything this time was... Lin Cunde was responsible, but when the facts were really put in front of him, Chen Zhao was still a little surprised!

In addition, he also knows a little about Lin Cunde's style of doing things. He looks bold but is actually very cautious. As for the candidate candidates, after all, they have not yet become officials, so they dare to use it and they can use it. Even if there are problems in the future, for Lin Cunde It won't have any impact,

If someone who has been a county magistrate for several years wants to be promoted, but the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not discover his problems, nor do the local officials, and recommends him, but later discovers the problem, this will have a great impact on the recommender. This is called misunderstanding!
"Master Chen, do you have something?" Lin Cunde looked at Chen Zhao and asked.

"Yes, yes, the city gates of Hangzhou have been closed according to the order. There are still about fifty people who haven't come. However, I estimate that some people will come to report after dawn!" Chen Zhao immediately heard Lin Cunde asking him. Standing up, he raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said.
