    ?As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Gao Gong is responsible for the reform of official administration.  The administration of officials is the basic system of the country's political system, and the corruption of official administration is the product of political corruption, and its corruption, in turn, catalyzes the corruption of politics.  It will not only lead to corruption of officials and darkness in the officialdom, but also make the Ming Dynasty fall into the predicament of lax border affairs, financial difficulties, poverty of the people, and social unrest.

    As for the fundamental problems of the Ming Dynasty's official administration, Gao Gong has already made a profound exposition in "Elimination of Eight Disadvantages".  A list:

    One of the disadvantages is that the selection of officials does not ask about their talents, and the promotion is only based on qualifications.  This is the biggest disadvantage of the employment system.  In the original Taizu period, officials were selected only by their talents, without asking their qualifications.  However, after Xuande, qualifications were gradually regarded as the theory.  In Gao Gong's "Discussion and Disciplinary Subject Talents to Prosper and Govern the Way", it is said that officials above the prefectural and county officials have seven of them as Jinshi.  Those who raise people will be underestimated by the public, and even meritorious deeds will be regarded as crimes.  ¡¯ As a matter of fact, Kejia officials generally have the problem of being high-sighted and ignorant of political affairs.  On the contrary, those Kegong officials who were born in Juren, because they have been engaged in clerical work for a long time, are more familiar with people's livelihood and government affairs, and are more suitable for taking on the responsibility of herdsmen.

    However, in this dynasty, there is a serious difference in the treatment of non-commissioned officers and Kegong officials.  Preferential treatment such as recommendation and promotion are all the patents of non-commissioned officers; while suffering and being scapegoated is the treatment of Kegong officials, and there is no future at all.  This not only suppresses a large number of talents, it is not conducive to motivating officials at all levels to be diligent in political affairs and serve the country, and it also encourages the misconduct of officials from Kejia.

    The second disadvantage is that the assessment is inaccurate and the rewards and punishments are chaotic.  This dynasty originally had a very complete and strict assessment, reward and punishment system.  However, since Chenghua, serious problems have arisen.  One is to use this assessment and impeachment as a tool to form a party for personal gain and exclude dissidents.  The second is that the reputation is false, and the rewards and punishments are disorderly.  Gao Gong not only exposed in the memorabilia that the governors and officials in the provinces did not follow the law and were arbitrary, but also pointed out that the officials and officials protected each other, "Did not dare to ask the big treacherous and evil people and pretended to be ignorant, and even called them high-quality.  In power, look for lemurs to deal with the blame.  ¡¯ The third is that the punishment and removal of officials does not proceed from the actual situation, but follows the fixed quota. ¡®Over the past few decades, there has been a quota for the number of inspections and punishments, so it is common practice.  If the number is sufficient, even if there are unworthy people, let it be ignored; if the number is insufficient, even if there is no one, forcefully ask for it.  '

    The third disadvantage is that he despises border officials, salt and horse officials.  Gao Gong pointed out that the officials sent to the frontiers of Ji, Liao, Shan, Shan, etc., "if they are not miscellaneous, they will be relegated, and if they are not relegated, they will be incompetent, and they will be inferior."  ¡¯ He also analyzed the basic situation of Yanma officials, saying, ¡®In recent years, the reality has been very light.  '

    The fourth disadvantage is to use power for personal gain and use unscrupulous means.  In the memorial, Gao Gong mentioned the current situation in the officialdom and said: "Today, people who are officials only hunt for high-ranking officials and fat vacancies. It is a common practice to bow their heads and close their eyes, rushing to be charming, and think they are good officials."  ¡¯ In order to use power for personal gain, they fight each other. As for the corruption of officials, it is even more common, and it is a common practice.

    The five disadvantages are dereliction of duty and failure to comply with orders.  Due to the corruption of officials, lack of morality in employing people, irregular rewards and punishments, most of the officials do not concentrate on their duties, resulting in lax official regulations and ineffective government orders.  The edicts of the imperial court were copied to all ministries, and they were regarded as old papers.  It is not uncommon for the transfer of documents between ministries to take several months.

    All these and so on, we can see the outline of the corruption of officials during the Jialong period.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    For this, Gao Gong formulated a whole set of reform measures.

    Aiming at the disadvantage of "the selection of officials does not ask about their talents, and the promotion of officials only depends on their qualifications", the countermeasure is "select talents and use abilities, regardless of their origin".  He instructs the Ministry of Officials to treat Jinshiguan, Jurenguan, and Shengshengguan in the same way, and only discuss their background and qualifications when they are awarded officials.  He also asked the emperor to decree that the Metropolitan Procuratorate and all officials must abandon the old ideas, but they should not be low-key if they are virtuous and one-body sponsors.  He claimed that if this is carried out, Jinshi will not be alone, and everyone will be self-effective, and there will be more good governance.  Even if it is not true for everyone, there are at least six or seven of the ten townships, which is more than half.  More good governance will lead to the people's peace, and the people's safety will lead to the prosperity of the country.

    Then, on the basis of the principle of 'regardless of origin', seek talents.  After he was in the Ministry of Officials, he ordered his subordinates to visit the talents honestly, and to register who is the best and who is capable for future use;  It is not necessary to discuss the origin, it must be recommended, and no intentional omission is allowed.

    Next, train the first-selected talents.  Gao Gong said: "When the imperial court employs people, they must first raise them."The big evil, the truly unworthy person, all the hidden details, don't even talk about it.  If there are many unlucky people, you might as well go more; if there are few unlucky people, you might as well go less.  It is appropriate to seek it, and it is not allowed to continue to follow the old ways¡ª¡ª

    ? This chapter made me vomit blood. I thought I could finish it early this morning, but it turned out that I wrote it until now

    Although it is very hard, I know that most people don't like this kind of boring content. However, what is the Longqing New Deal, what is the Longqing New Deal, and why did it revitalize the huge empire in just a few years?  So its content cannot be bypassed.

    In fact, I have also considered writing it in the story in a subtle way, but that only applies to the protagonist. If you don't want Gao Gong to occupy too much space, you can only do this.

    Fortunately, there will be no more in the future, everyone has the right to bear with it, and we will enter the story soon (To be continued.
