The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 518: Third Class, Nine Levels, Eight Methods, Five Places, Four Virtues, and Twenty-Four Bests (One Thousand Monthly Tickets in Advance)
Ying Zheng could naturally tell that this was a big expense, and he was even more satisfied. The little girl really cared about it, and he secretly made up his mind to give her more rewards tomorrow. Ying Zheng couldn't bear to see the Snow Girl live a hard life.

The Snow Girl asked tenderly, "My king, do you like what I have prepared?"

Ying Zheng stretched out his arms, and the Snow Girl jumped into his arms like a young swallow returning to its nest, looking at him with her beautiful eyes, full of anticipation.

Ying Zheng first kissed the Snow Girl hard on the face and praised loudly, "Very good, very good, I like her very much, my beloved, you are truly a stunning beauty, extremely beautiful, I can no longer find words to describe my little beauty."

It was the first time that Xue Nu was praised like this by Ying Zheng. She was extremely happy. Being praised by Ying Zheng really made her feel excited and happy that she could not suppress her heart. After all, she was a girl at heart, and she happily rubbed against Ying Zheng's arms.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but bow his head and left a mark on the Snow Girl's neck, which was as smooth as white jade and as delicate as balm.

He really didn't want to endure it any longer. The fire in his chest had been burning fiercely for a long time, making his mouth dry and his tongue parched. Now he had to use water to quench it. Snow water was just right.

How could the Snow Girl not see it? She trembled and whispered: "My King!"

Ying Zheng has already embraced him.

The Fairy of Magpie Bridge - Love

Willows hang down the bank, peach branches bloom with dew, just like the thick spring fog. When we meet by chance, our eyes exchange feelings, and countless lovesickness is planted.

The stars sink into the Milky Way, the wind shakes the candlelight, all of which are a wonderful pleasure. When I first met the peach blossom, it reflected my shy face, lingering in the depths of my heart.

The Fairy of Magpie Bridge - Love

I can't express my deep feelings, I wait for the good day, thinking of my love. I wish to fly with you, no matter how cold and bitter the world is.

The morning star is still dim, the morning bell has not yet rung, but the love is lingering in my heart. The two meet on the magpie bridge with gentle words, sharing the spring and autumn, and the love is as strong as wine.

The Fairy of Magpie Bridge - Love

The moon is shining in the window, the lights are dim, and the heart is full of emotions. The water is shimmering in the early spring, and the butterflies are dancing and the light is dazzling.

Flowers bloom and fade, but love is deep and lasting, love is stronger than the jade of Kunshan Mountain. I wish the magpies in the Milky Way could be a bridge, so that the couple can be together day and night.

(One is the male perspective, the second is the female perspective, and the third is the male and female perspective.)
Early the next morning, Ying Zheng went to court refreshed. It was a wonderful night. The food he watched grow up tasted delicious.

When the Snow Girl woke up, it was already noon. She finally opened her eyes and it took her a while to adjust to the sunlight. She stretched out her pure arms to block the glaring sunlight. When her brain resumed thinking, although she still felt weak all over, she couldn't help but smile foolishly.

Finally, I became the king’s woman, and it was better than I had imagined.

It was a pity that he did not see the king when he woke up, but this melancholy was only thrown aside in an instant. No one could stop Ying Zheng's footsteps. Xue Nu knew this too well. Since Ying Zheng ascended the throne, in the eleven years, he had never delayed the normal morning court. Even if there was something, he would be late at most. No matter women or children, they could never affect his political affairs.

The Qin Dynasty was changing with each passing day, with many things happening. Ying Zheng was obsessed with the power to change everything and was incredibly diligent.

Many civil and military officials were also implicated and could not bear the consequences.

After all, these days there is only the system of leaving for sickness or to deal with personal matters, and there is no complete system of rest and vacation.

Ying Zheng is such a competitive person who takes the lead in working overtime. What reason do his ministers have not to work hard?
Do you still want to do it? If you don't want to do it, there are many people who do.

Is there still a shortage of officials in the world?

The ministers of the Qin Dynasty truly lived a life of pain and happiness. Although the treatment given by the king was good, it was also really tiring.

Except for the first day of the year, the twelfth day of the lunar year, and the Shangsi Festival, there are two days off throughout the year. It is said that you can rest one day every five days, but the king has been busy from dawn to dusk every day. How dare you rest?
As for when the specific rest and day system will be actually implemented, there is no rush, at least Ying Zheng is not in a hurry. He will give it away as a small benefit after the unification of the country.

Although there is no perfect rest system, there is a perfect assessment system, which is a must. It was fully improved and implemented in the second year of King Zheng of Qin.

It was carefully formulated by Ying Zheng by combining the assessment systems of the Tang and Ming dynasties. Officials at the county level and above were all assessed by Ying Zheng himself, while those below that were the responsibility of the Censorate.

The assessment cycle is divided into a small test once a year and a major test every three years. The small test evaluates the political achievements of the year, and the major test integrates the evaluation of small tests in previous years. The promotion, demotion, rewards and punishments of officials are determined based on the results of the major test.

The assessment standards are three grades, nine levels, eight methods, five places, four virtues and twenty-four bests.

The three grades are upper, middle and lower, and each grade has upper, middle and lower grades. The eight rules are the ways of dealing with them. Those with good performance are promoted, given increased rank, rewarded, etc.; those with poor performance are warned, caned, fined, demoted, dismissed from office, etc.

As for the worse, that are the five punishments, namely exile, execution, confiscation of property, extermination of the clan, and extermination of three clans. However, these five methods are generally not implemented unless the punishment is too extreme or it is a matter of principle, such as treason, high treason, serious corruption, dereliction of duty causing heavy losses, treason, forming a faction to disrupt the government, or serious military failure.

Ying Zheng was extremely cautious about the execution of officials and nobles. All crimes, regardless of whether they were big or small, had to be decided by Ying Zheng himself, unless it was an emergency during war. Even in an emergency, it was strictly managed. Killing was easy, but the subsequent review was extremely strict, and it was not so easy to get away with it.

The four virtues are general requirements for officials' moral conduct, including being virtuous and righteous, being clear and prudent, being fair and honest, and being diligent and conscientious. These four items are an assessment of officials' basic moral character and work attitude.

The Twenty-Four Mosts are specific review standards for different positions in specific departments, involving a total of twenty-four job categories. For example, the Most of the Shizhong: offering suggestions on policies and making up for deficiencies, providing good advice to Ying Zheng and correcting mistakes. The Most of the Si Mu: having a good management system and increasing the number of registered permanent residents. Local officials have good management, which has led to specific increases in the number of registered permanent residents, farmland reclamation, and tax revenue in the area under their jurisdiction.

The assessment procedure includes preliminary and re-examinations, cross-examinations, public announcement of results, and appeals against the results, which basically ensures the fairness of the assessment. In addition, the comprehensive assessment is based on the intelligence on folk customs collected by the Xuanyu Guards, which are already spread all over the country. With the current situation in the court, Ying Zheng will basically not be deceived.

After all, no one would ignore such a matter that concerns one's future, wealth, life and property. If something really happened, political opponents would not turn a blind eye. You know, if one person goes wrong, according to the Qin Dynasty's collective responsibility system, several people will be removed. There are only so many positions, and everyone is eager for their opponents to be removed. The higher you go, the fewer positions there are.
