"Forget about the distinction of family status that the High Official suggested. This Civil and Military Examination System is all about fairness. As long as you are willing to work for Great Qin, you can participate.”
"However, in order to facilitate the selection and management, we can set up the provincial, town, county, and county examinations. Those with outstanding results will enter Xianyang for the final examination.”
When Meng Yi heard this, he thought for a moment and felt that it was feasible. Then, he nodded."Young Master's method far surpasses the distinction of family status.”
Feng Quji frowned slightly as he looked at the two people who were asking and answering questions harmoniously. A sense of danger rose in his heart, but he could not tell what kind of danger it was. In any case, he just felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, Ying Ziyu no longer paid attention to Feng Quji.
He knew the abilities of Xiao He, Han Xin, and the others better than anyone else. How could he not use the people he had hired with great difficulty?
As for you, Feng Quji, opposing it, what use is that? If you force me into a corner, I can just change the Prime Minister.
To Ying Ziyu, Xiao He, who was loyal to Great Qin, was comparable to hundreds of Feng Quji, who prioritized their own interests.
Moreover, there was still Han Xin, Cao Can, and the others. Compared to these people, Feng Quji was not that important.
Seeing that Feng Quji did not say anything, Ying Ziyu continued,"Just now, Xianyang Magistrate Xiao He's suggestion was very good. I've decided to add a miscellaneous subject on the basis of the liberal arts and martial arts subjects. This miscellaneous subject mainly uses various skills as the assessment standard.”
After saying this, Ying Ziyu paused for a moment and slowly swept his gaze across the officials in the hall."Milords, from today onwards, the performance appraisal system will be implemented. The Embroidered Uniform Guards will be in charge of supervision.”
All the officials were stunned. They didn't understand what Ying Ziyu meant.
"Young Master…Um, what is the performance appraisal system? Young Master, please enlighten us!"
Seeing that the officials were puzzled, Meng Yi directly asked.
Ying Ziyu smiled and immediately explained,"There is only one purpose for this performance assessment, and that is to increase the efficiency and personal ability of Great Qin's officials. Every year or every six months, Great Qin's officials will have to undergo a performance assessment, and the assessment will focus on their achievements…If they are at the bottom, they will be punished as appropriate. Those who lacked ability, bullied the people, and those who did not deserve their positions were directly dismissed from office.”
Ying Ziyu's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing the heads of all the officials in the hall to buzz. There were indeed some people who were not capable enough and did not deserve to be in a high position.
In the royal court, there were many people who were recommended to become officials through connections. Although they were not idiots, they were really not good in terms of ability.
Usually, they relied on their subordinates to do things. If they were to be assessed alone, they would really be unsure.
This situation would be fine in Xianyang, but if Young Master Ying Ziyu's decree was implemented in Great Qin, it would be a huge problem.
Great Qin had many officials, and there were countless mediocre ones. If they were all dismissed, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
If the First Emperor knew about this, he would definitely fly into a rage, right? At this moment, the officials also realized that something was wrong.
This Young Master Ying Ziyu first used Xiao He to block the recommendation system, and then introduced the civil and military imperial examination system and this performance appraisal system.
What was he trying to do? This was a reform! The officials who finally reacted broke out in cold sweat.
This young master was really scheming. With Xiao He, he had lured them into his trap step by step. Now, it seemed that he had arranged everything!
Seeing the officials 'expressions change, Ying Ziyu continued with a smile,""Milords, there is no need to worry. Since this is an assessment, there will be those who are at the bottom, and there will be those who are at the top. For those who have outstanding achievements, the Imperial Court will not be stingy with rewards. It is not a problem for them to be promoted. In short, if you want to be an official, you can't just wait for death. You have to work hard, Milords.”
The expressions of many officials changed slightly. Wasn't he talking about himself?
At this moment, Feng Quji was really panicking. He quickly stood up and said,"Young Master, the appointment and removal of officials require His Majesty's approval. This performance appraisal system should be delayed. How about we wait for His Majesty to return before discussing it?”
Feng Quji was also helpless. With the current situation, he could no longer care about splitting the vacant positions. The most important thing now was to protect his current interests.
If this young master really decided on this so-called performance appraisal system…
Based on his style of doing things, who knew how many officials of Great Qin would be dismissed?
As soon as Feng Quji spoke, someone immediately responded,"That's right. Young Master, you're only in charge of the country now. You're already overstepping your authority by issuing decrees and appointing officials at will.”
"Oh, is issuing a decree overstepping one's authority?”
Ying Ziyu narrowed his eyes and looked at Meng Yi in confusion. It was as if he didn't know anything.
"Young Master, logically speaking, you're only in charge of the country. You really don't have the qualifications to issue decrees and appoint officials." Meng Yi muttered to himself.”
Meng Yi looked at Ying Ziyu's innocent expression and didn't understand why this young master would ask such a question. However, after thinking about it, he still gave an answer.
When Ying Ziyu heard this, he nodded slightly. To be honest, he really didn't know that this was an act of overstepping his authority. After all, this was his first time being the country's governor, and no one told him.
However, with Brother Zheng's vision, he would definitely be able to see the benefits of these two policies. He would not reject them. In that case, he would send someone to send a form to Brother Zheng and let him issue it personally.
After all, the history books would record that the first emperor had personally issued a certain policy, which was completely different from the policy issued by the young master of the country.
"Since that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you to sort out the imperial examination system and performance system and send them to Imperial Father for approval.”
"Yes!"
Meng Yi stepped forward and accepted the order.
"Milords, is there anything else?”
Since the matter had been settled, Ying Ziyu was no longer in the mood to argue with the officials.
After asking, he saw that none of the officials spoke and continued,"Since there's nothing else, let's end today's court meeting here.”
After saying that, he strode away.
......
After the court session ended, Ying Ziyu left Xianyang Palace. He returned to the Young Master Pavilion and left with the Vermillion Bird.
"Hey, young master, why are you here?”
In front of the Wang Clan Estate, the white-haired Wang Jian saw Ying Ziyu standing in front of his house. His expression wasn't too good.
"Aiyo, didn't I hear that Old General Wang was sick? This Young Master specially came to visit, but I didn't expect Old General to recover so quickly.”
Wang Jian looked at the smiling Ying Ziyu and felt a chill down his spine. Who would have thought that a country's young master would not do his proper business and would run out of Xianyang Palace to block his own door?
Helpless, he could only say," Young Master, look at how old I am. I don't have many years left to live. Please let me enjoy my life!"”
Ying Ziyu was slightly stunned when he heard this. He then bowed deeply towards Wang Jian.
"What is Young Master doing?" Wang Jian hurriedly stepped forward.”
"General, you have fought for Great Qin all your life. Without you, Great Qin would not be where it is today, so I should thank you.”
Looking at Ying Ziyu's clear eyes, Wang Jian's face revealed a smile. His eyes were filled with gratification.
At Wang Jian's level, he didn't ask for anything else. He only hoped that the people he served had old fellows like them in their eyes.
Now that he was old, he was unable to fight and had no interest in government. It was his wish not to be forgotten by the emperor.
Wang Jian felt gratified in his heart. He then invited Ying Ziyu in. The two of them walked one after the other into the inner courtyard of the Wang Clan Estate.
"Grandpa, why are you back?”
The two of them had just entered the inner court when a pleasant voice was transmitted over.
