Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 294 Returning to Beijing
Performance appraisal is a kind of ancient official appraisal system.

Officials are assessed regularly, and rewards and punishments are carried out according to the results of the assessment.

This measure originated very early, and it was quite perfect in the Ming Dynasty.In the Ming Dynasty, the performance appraisal of officials was based on the full examination, and the two methods of examination went hand in hand.

The so-called three-year term actually means that the exam must be completed once every three years.Three years is the primary examination, six years is the senior high school examination, and nine years is the general examination, which is conducted according to the rank of officials and the yamen they belong to.

All officials who pass the test are divided into three grades, that is, competent, ordinary, and incompetent.A total of nine years and three exams.

After the evaluation and examination, rewards and punishments must be determined according to the official position. If you do not do well, you may be demoted after three years of service.Therefore, the term every three years also comes from here.

In addition to the full test system, there is also an inspection system.

The purpose of the inspection is to distinguish the good from the bad of the officials, and the emphasis is on punishing the officials who are not judged. If they fail the test, they can be remedied.

Looking at it this way, the system of the Ming Dynasty seems to be quite good, but if the system of the Ming Dynasty was implemented well, how could the world be so defeated?In many cases, the full test is just going through the motions.

But it's not going to work now. After Zhu Cihong ascended the throne, he attached great importance to the administration of officials. Those officials in Nanzhili are all within the radiating range of imperial power, so it's okay if they don't pay attention.

Zuo Fu has been here as an official for three years, and what she has done in the local area in the past three years, as long as she is not a person with a bad conscience, she must be given priority.

So Cui Yushu and other magistrates didn't bother, and directly gave it to You, and then reported it to the Ministry of Officials.Soon the Ministry of Officials also gave the honor and reported the matter to the emperor.

The emperor asked Zuo Fu to return to Beijing to report on his duties.

For a magistrate, this can be said to be very honorable.After all, not every county magistrate can return to Beijing to report on his duties in the first three years.

Zuo Fu was very excited when he got on the boat.

After three years away from home, she can finally go home!
Although my father is not at home, at least I can see my mother!

The waterways ran parallel, and it took Zuofu two days to rush back to Nanjing.The moment she got off the pier, she was even in a daze.

Three years ago, she bid farewell to her mother's family from here and embarked on the road to becoming an official.Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the scene when I left is still vivid in my mind.

On the pier, the appearance of mother waving goodbye, her trembling body, reddish eyes...

Thinking of this, Zuo Fu's eyes also turned red.

Three years have passed, what happened to my mother?

Suddenly, some dare not leave.A feeling of being close to home and timidity arises in my heart.

She didn't let anyone report to Liu Runiang, just to give her a surprise.But when she was standing on the pier, when excitement and anxiety hit her, how much she wished that her mother was standing on the pier so that she could see her now.

But she didn't notify, and before going home, she had to go to the official department.

After calming down, she asked someone to bring a carriage, got in the carriage and went directly to the Ministry of Officials.

The coachman was very surprised. What is a woman doing in the official department?But soon he became excited!

Is this one?
He didn't dare to think too much, so he dragged the man to the official department. After seeing the woman came out with the official documents and entered the official department, the driver became agitated.

God!
He actually pulled the number one female official in all ages!

It's her, you can't go wrong!
That Zuofu who forcibly repelled tens of thousands of Tatars and captured more than 80 Tartars including Duoduo, Mr. Zuo Yunshu!

The driver whipped his whip and hurried home.

How can you not brag about such a glorious thing? !

That's Zuffer!He who forced the Tartars to make peace!
Zuo Fu entered the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and a person came to meet him, and the two looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

"Zover?"

"Lu Huadai?"

Chun Ya's face was cold, and she wanted to curse.But after thinking about it, she is a person of status now, and her daughter is the head of the county, so there is no need to get angry with this picky bastard, so as not to lower her status.

It's just that she opened her eyes to take a closer look, and she was a little restless.

Is this guy an official? !
Zuo Fu was also stunned, then smiled and said: "Last year's big exam, did brother Lu get a Jinshi? My wish has been fulfilled for many years, my sister congratulates you."

The voice is clear and clear, and the attitude is calm, just like meeting an old friend, it seems very ordinary.

Lu Huadai was stunned for a while, and after a while, he replied softly: "Well, thank you, sister Fu'er."

After a pause, he said again: "Sister Fu'er is returning to Beijing to report on her work, right? Our lord is already waiting, the next official will lead you there."

"But I can't afford it. The Ministry of Officials speaks of Tianxian. The smallest officials here are all sixth-rank, and I am only a county magistrate of seventh-rank. I can't be an official like the elder brother."

"Now that you are honored as the county lord, you deserve to be honored as a superior."

Xu Shi entered the officialdom and got tempered, and Lu Huadai appeared to be much more stable.It's just that no matter how steady you are, it can't match the fact that you are too young.When Zuo Fu said this, there was a trace of complexity in his eyes.

Zuo Fu saw the complexity in his eyes, he pursed his lips and smiled, and didn't continue this topic, just let him lead the way.

The two walked side by side, Lu Huadai turned his head slightly, seeing Zuo Fu's clear eyes and calm expression, his heart felt a little sour.

In the past, she was unruly and self-willed, her appearance was even uglier, and she always felt wronged; but now... her temperament has changed drastically, and her appearance actually looks better.

It's just that she is now...

A trace of bitterness spread in his mouth.

Don't say that you are married to Yuniang, even if you are not married, how can she still be able to climb high by herself now?
Turning his head slowly, getting rid of those miscellaneous thoughts in his heart, he took Zuo Fu to a room, and said: "Master Shoufu is already waiting for you inside."

As he spoke, he bowed, "I will take my leave."

It's not surprising that Qian Qianyi is also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zuo Fu is not surprised to appear here.

She was just a little curious, what is the purpose of Mr. Shoufu who is so busy waiting for her here?

Out of curiosity, she knocked on the door.After a while, Qian Qianyi's voice came from inside.

"come in."

Zuofu opened the door and went in, and a faint scent of agarwood wafted over.Zuo Fu looked at the people in the room. Qian Qianyi was wearing casual clothes and was fiddling with the incense burner in front of him.

"This Zhancheng agarwood is ground into powder, and then boiled with good Shuangjing tea to remove the residual ointment, and boiled over high heat. After the fire is low, there will be froth. Take this froth and mix it with styrax to get this elegant fragrance. Pleasant fragrance, the old man named it Huajian Bookstore, what does the county lord think?"

"Forgive me, Chief Assistant. The officials don't understand fragrance, they only think it smells good, but they tell the truth."

After saying that, he saluted, "Zuo Fu, the magistrate of Wujin County, Changzhou, Zuo Yunshu has met Mr. Shou Fu."

"Can't, can't."

Qian Qianyi said he couldn't do it, but he still accepted Zuo Fu's gift.

"You are the county lord personally appointed by His Majesty, but I am just a minister, and I cannot accept the gift of the county lord."

Zuo Fu didn't bother to argue with this bad old man, and didn't bother to respond to the subtext in his words, he just smiled lightly and said, "The chief assistant is here today, what's the matter?"

"..."

Qian Qianyi couldn't help rolling his eyes.

You really don't care much, do you? !

Isn't the subtext of these words just: I've come to report, if it's okay, I'll leave first.

Being an official is so rough, you can still get the first class, what a shame!
Thinking about his own path to becoming an official, and looking at Zuo Fu in front of him, Qian Shoufu was sad...

　I'm too busy today, I don't start writing until 9:[-], so come here first!Good night!
