Zhu Yunye glanced at the reactions of the officials and naturally knew what they were thinking.

Therefore, Zhu Yunye did not hide anything.

He said the second decree that he had prepared long ago,

"From today onwards, all officials of Great Ming will be tested!”

The so-called examination method was also implemented by Zhang Juzheng later.

To put it bluntly, it was a performance appraisal.

Through your achievements over a period of time,

To decide whether you're going to be promoted or demoted,

Or from your performance,

Are you corrupt or not?

These things could be assessed using the performance assessment method!

In Zhang Juzheng's era,

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which had just been founded,

At that time, corrupt officials ran amok.

Let alone a whip technique,

It was the original decree.

When they reached the local tyrant,

I can't push it forward,

Not to mention other government decrees.

That was why Zhang Juzheng thought of this method.

In order to collect taxes,

Zhang Juzheng was also very clear.

It was impossible to not let these officials touch him!

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's method,

It was very suitable for the situation at that time.

In other words,

I allow you officials to be corrupt,

Giving you officials the right to corrupt,

However, if he passed the exam at the end of the year,

If your achievements are not up to standard,

Not enough taxes,

Then I'm sorry.

I will take away your right to corruption,

Find someone else to take your place,

Three-legged toads were not easy to find.

A two-legged corrupt official,

That was not much.

Therefore, after the examination method came out,

All the officials in the world heard the news and took action.

In the past, everyone was still hiding their corruption.

Now, everyone was not hiding anything.

Instead, he put it on the surface.

They would even compare themselves with each other.

How much tax have I collected for the court?

How many benefits did he get from the middle!

Therefore, during Zhang Juzheng's reign,

He had accumulated an incomparably deep family background for Wanli.

That was why the later Tianqi Emperor did not go to court for more than ten years.

The country could still function normally.

It's a pity that in the Chongzhen Dynasty,

Zhang Juzheng's savings were completely destroyed.

In addition to natural and man-made disasters,

The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.

However, the current situation was different from the Wanli era.

There was no such serious corruption in this era.

One had to know that peeling skin and planting grass was not just a few words in the history books.

It was something that really existed.

Therefore, the level of honesty of the officials now,

It was far from what those officials could compare to!

In this way,

This exam method can't be applied mechanically.

It needed to change!

When the officials heard this, they said,

However, she was very confused.

First, he used a whip technique.

He could still understand.

What was this test method?

I've already gone through so much,

He passed the imperial examination and became an official.

Another exam?

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with noisy whispers.

The officials were whispering to each other to discuss what this examination method was!

Listening to the noise below,

Zhu Yunye's eyes turned cold.

Soon, someone realized that the atmosphere was not right.

The discussion stopped.

Then, more people discovered this situation.

Soon, the hall became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

At this moment…

Zhu Yunye said again,

"From now on, all of my famous officials will be assessed once a year."

"The standard of this year's assessment is the implementation of the whip technique!”

At the end of the year,

For officials who did not pass the assessment,

He was directly demoted!

For those officials with outstanding achievements,

The imperial court would reward them with money and cloth!

Hearing that the imperial court would reward officials with outstanding achievements,

Everyone was in an uproar again.

One had to know that the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was notoriously low.

In fact, the salary of a first-grade official in the current dynasty was not even comparable to a small county magistrate in the Song Dynasty!

All of this was due to the eccentric Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion,

You officials are already above the people.

Moreover, their lives were much better than the commoners.

The salary I've set for you is enough for you to live a good life.

If you want more, it means that you're not a good official!

I'll be beheaded!

But Zhu Yunye knew very well,

The salary that his Imperial Grandfather gave to the civil and military officials was a little too low.

Just from the salary on paper, it did seem like it was enough to spend.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang had forgotten that he was still alive.

Not only could they live on just by eating and drinking,

It required daily consumption and the ways of the world!

He couldn't go empty-handed to the wedding between his family and friends!

This was not all.

Zhu Yuanzhang also stipulated what rank officials should be.

What level of travel rules should be matched?

What material to wear?

What kind of sedan chair should I ride?

How many sedan bearers are there? -

These things were strictly regulated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

As long as you are an official, you must abide by it.

No more, no less.

The money for the sedan chair, the wages of the sedan bearers, and so on,

All of them had to be paid out of the official's own pocket.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not reimburse them!

Therefore, in this way,

This little salary,

It's not enough to spend at all.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a famous clean official.

His name was Hai Rui.

Because I refuse to be corrupt,

The whole family almost starved to death!

It could be seen from this point alone.

How low was the salary of the officials in the Ming Dynasty?

This was also why Zhu Yuanzhang was so good at fighting corruption.

However, there are still countless corrupt officials who step forward one after another.

Those who are not afraid of death are corrupt and pervert the law,

I can't even eat,

How could he care where the money came from?

Let's fill our stomachs first!

Therefore, when these officials heard that this examination method was implemented,

If there were rewards for outstanding achievements,

All of them became excited.

I can't wait to run straight to the countryside now.

To check the fields,

At the end of the year,

The imperial court could also reward him with more money!

The reason why Zhu Yunye threw out all these money and cloth was that he was not afraid.

As a reward,

It was because these things could stimulate the enthusiasm of these officials.

In addition, it was now the Hongwu period of the early Ming Dynasty.

Because of Zhu Yuanzhang's high-handed policy,

There were still relatively few corrupt officials.

If these rewards were to be given in the future,

Not only would those corrupt officials not be motivated by this,

Instead, she would laugh at Zhu Yunye.

You're using this little thing to test an official?

Which official could not withstand such a test?

Therefore, Zhu Yunye was very confident.

Once he added this exam method to his performance,

If it could be successfully implemented,

These officials would definitely do their best!

When the landowners wanted to hide their land,

It would not be so easy.

Of course, they would definitely spare no effort to bribe these officials.

But on the one hand, it was to take the money from the bribes.

I'm on tenterhooks every day, I don't know when I'll wake up

His head was no longer on his neck.

On the one hand, he worked hard.

Work hard.

At the end of the year,

To obtain an outstanding assessment result,

Then, the imperial court would reward him with a large sum of money.

These officials knew what was more important!

At this moment,

Only then did the civil and military officials in the court react.

Why was it that when Xu Dong raised the issue of people's hearts,

He did not show any signs of panic.

" Because His Highness Taisun has solved this problem.

They used the human heart!

People's hearts for people's hearts

That was the best way to rule!

The civil and military officials could not help but admire Zhu Yunye.

As for those Jianwen faculty officials…

His heart became extremely sad.

They had been waiting for Zhu Yunye to make a mistake.

Then, he pulled Zhu Yunye down from his position as the imperial grandson.

Then, he would support Zhu Yunwen, the "model of the sage" that he had painstakingly cultivated, to take over.

However, judging from Zhu Yunye's actions,

Whether it was the establishment of the Revenue Council or the Overwatch Council,

It was still the present method of whipping and the method of examination.

Every time they thought that Zhu Yunye was done for,

Zhu Yunye could always be at the critical moment.

Turn the tide, and then settle the world!

Not to mention the white sugar, gourmet powder, and glassware that Zhu Yunye made.

Those extremely expensive things,

Not to mention possessing it,

He didn't even dare to think about it!

This made these Jianwen faculty officials feel extremely depressed.

In the main hall, with those officials who seemed to have been injected with chicken blood,

He seemed particularly out of place!

Zhu Yunye took in all these people's performances.

He laughed coldly in his heart.

"If you have a memorial, leave the court!"

The chief eunuch shouted,

Today's morning court session had ended.

It was different from her usual calm and tranquil self.

Today, all the officials walked faster.

They couldn't wait to experience what Zhu Yunye had said about the exam!

"Miss, go back. His Highness won't be coming today!”

It was already past noon.

Lan Xueqin stood at the entrance of the manor, looking forward to it.

However, he did not see Zhu Yunye.

The servants also advised Lan Xueqin to go back.

Lan Xueqin once again looked in the direction where Zhu Yunye usually came from.

However, he did not see Zhu Yunye.

Thus, under the urging of the servants, he walked back to the residence.

But not long after,

Then, she heard a familiar voice.

"Xueqin!"
