So what is the problem?

Mr. Zhao combined the answers of his father-in-law and the political gains and losses of the past dynasties summarized by historians in later generations, and pointed out that the reason is that this seemingly gradual assessment, clear rules and regulations, and has two major loopholes in the examination system, which actually has two major loopholes.

One is that there is a problem with the subject of the assessment. No matter how good the system is, it needs to be implemented by people. Once there is a problem with people, the more perfect the system is, the more it will encourage the breeding of evil.

Second, the assessment content seems harsh, but in fact it is subjective and empty and lacks operationality. For example, "Observe his ability, test his diligence and laziness, and understand it from the public assessment." Can an official be considered diligent and lazy? There are no objective standards at all, how can he be considered clear?

It is very convenient for the officials responsible for taking the class to go over and over again, and the party is fighting against the law!

In the state, the main subject of the assessment of officials is the superior. Those who have been in the work know that the evaluation of subordinates is related to the close relationship, the balance of relationships, the struggles in the office, but it has nothing to do with actual achievements. This is a chronic disease that cannot be corrected in an eternal system. Everyone is in a system, and the connections are bound by endless connections, making the evaluation impossible to be fair.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang paid great attention to this issue. In order to avoid the officials in the hall from using the examination classes to suppress and bribe subordinate officials, he arranged inspections in various provinces, including inspections, inspection departments, and later governors to supervise and assess local officials; in the central government, six department offices were set up to supervise and assess six departments, so as to avoid the inconsistency of the direct superiors when assessing subordinates.

For a very historical period, this method was indeed effective. However, as the rise of the imperial examination was monopolized by a few people, the class was seriously solidified. Those who passed the Jinshi exam and became officials came from a very small circle. As soon as all new Jinshi entered the officialdom, they were automatically brought into the circle by their teachers and seniors.

Most of the people outside the circle, except for the gods like Hai Rui who are rare in a century, cannot escape the fate of being marginalized.

The biggest consequence of this is that the entire officialdom is related to the cause and sticky! Even if it is specially selected, the inspection and supervision departments and the six departments who assess the work of officials cannot escape this ruling!

In addition, the subjective standards of the exam and random evaluations have further encouraged this arrogance of favoritism and fraud.

In this environment, it doesn’t matter whether the officials do well. It doesn’t matter whether they are corrupt or not. What’s important is whose people are you? Are you from a group or a partner, a neutral faction that needs to be won over, or a downward faction that can take the opportunity to step on?

Therefore, relying on people to give subjective "competent, ordinary, incompetent" is simply a weapon to breed the breeding ground and fight against differences!

~~

So how to solve it?

Zhang Juzheng gave the answer to genius, which is to try to adopt quantifiable objective standards to avoid human judgment!

It’s like when you’re giving questions in the exam, you increase objective questions and reduce subjective questions. This will minimize the human factors that affect the fairness of the exam.

This is completely consistent with Mr. Zhao’s scientific management method!

Zhao Hao also combined the actual situation of the yamen and passed on the KPI** to Mr. Zhao Er.

Although Mr. Zhao has never understood why his son gave the "key performance indicators" a vulgar abbreviation like "looking at the ass". But it does not prevent him from seriously studying "looking at the ass"...

Specifically, it is to unfold the daily work tasks and development goals of the yamen, and break them down layer by layer into specific departments and lower yamen. Then, according to the principle of "Simate", key performance indicators are determined for each department.

The so-called "Simate" principle means that performance appraisal must have clear and specific indicators, not general; indicators must be quantified and measurable; achieveable; related to the overall goal; and have a completion time limit.

Later, after Zhao Shouzheng was promoted to the Tongzhi of Chaozhou, he suddenly realized one day that the so-called "Sima Te" means "Zhao Sima Special Edition". My dear son is really good at it!

As for the time when Zhao Hao taught him "look at the asshole", it was far before he became a Tongzhi... Mr. Zhao would not care about such details.

~~

In short, after exploring in Kunshan, Zhao Shouzheng has learned how to establish an evaluation index system, set evaluation standards, and review key performance indicators. He is also a master who is "looking at the ass"... although he is the kind of master who is very jealous and has low expectations.

But isn’t there a professional all-weather management team helping him implement it?

During the Chaozhou Defense War, the management team led by Wu Chengen was already doing this. It was precisely through this management method that the headless flies-like officials and gentry of Chaozhou understood what they should do, how to do it, how to calculate how good or bad, and what good will happen and what bad will happen in the shortest time.

Only in this way can we grasp the situation in Chaozhou in a short time, and handle the complex military supplies, logistics and human resources organizations in an orderly manner, making the greatest contribution to the victory of the Chaozhou defense battle.

Therefore, the focus of Zhao Shouzheng's speech today is that in the future, Chaozhou Prefecture and county governments will adopt key performance management...

He thought "looking at the ass" was too unpleasant, so he changed it to "reviewing performance method" - the method of auditing performance!

Well, Jiji is much better than the asshole...

"The specific details of the 'Accounting Method' will be issued to you specifically, and training will be organized. You must study hard and focus on the key points. Otherwise, there will be no performance during the inspection, and everyone will not be as simple as losing face."

In the lobby, Mr. Zhao, who had always been kind, rarely became serious today and said:

"Simply put, according to the 'performance auditing method', the government will set a deadline and quantitative standards for all matters that you should do, and separate the 'performance auditing books'. The 'performance auditing books' are in duplicate, and the government will leave a 'audit book' for reference. You and others will hold a 'performance book' and handle the difference according to the above requirements. For each item you complete, one item will be self-checked every ten minutes, and the performance will be accepted once a month, and the evaluation will be conducted every quarter based on the results of the performance auditing!"

His eyes slowly swept across the crowd and said in a deep voice: "There are specific scoring standards and weights behind the booklet. Those with high grade points are excellent. Those with low grade points are inferior. Those with good grade points are rewarded. Those with inferior grade points are punished. Those with good grades are superior. Those with mediocre ones are inferior. This is what my official requests to you. Have you heard it clearly?!"

"As for orders..." the officials hurriedly responded.

But anyone could feel that the atmosphere in the lobby became a little solemn.

The officials and yamen runners held the heavy red envelopes in their hands and suddenly felt that the money was not so easy to take.

The judge Shu Tong, An Tui and ten magistrates looked even more solemn, and they all knew that the hard days were coming.

This is what Zhao Shouzheng wants. The old man had told him long ago that those who are superiors should not blindly show kindness. The kingly way is to give both kindness and power!

Mr. Zhao is a little stupid, but he is obedient and obedient to his son's father... Uh, his son's father is two people, referring to his son and his father respectively, not just to a son who looks like his father.

Because he knew that in this world, only these two people would never harm him. Maybe there were Ning An and his elder brother? But from those two, he was either **** or seeking death. So he only listened to his son and father...

~~

When the clerk, yamen runner, and the two assistant officials except the judge Shu Tong and An Tui Guan all took a break.

The lobby of the government office, which was still crowded just now, immediately became open.

The remaining thirteen officials were clearly divided into two parts.

Mr. Zhao left Shufu, Youanyi, and the three officials in the mansion sat facing south. Of course, Shu Tong and An Tui Guan sat on the side, to be precise, one faced the southwest and the other faced the southeast.

The magistrates all sat down with their chairs on their sides.

Next is the first working meeting of Chaozhou Prefecture's senior management.

There are ten counties in Chaozhou, including Haiyang, Chaoyang, Raoping, Chenghai, Jieyang, Chengxiang, Huilai, Dapu, Puning, and Pingyuan. All ten county magistrates were present, but their expressions were different, and they obviously had different moods.

The first magistrate of the magistrate was naturally the magistrate of Haiyang Qin Shunhan. It is said that the magistrate of the first county with the capital, which is the most frowning face. But he sat there happily, with a look of pride.

Of course he was happy. Because from the moment Mr. Zhao arrived in Chaozhou, he had given his all with all his heart and without reservation. Mr. Zhao was able to quickly gain a foothold, but he, the county magistrate of the Prefecture City, made great efforts.

During the Battle of Chaozhou, he completed his tasks seriously, and also asked his brother about his well-being every day, helping him relieve pressure and inspiring his fighting spirit. The relationship between the two sides naturally heated up rapidly, and he turned from an ordinary person to a close comrade-in-arms who had been on the battlefield together in the same year.

Now that the same year, Gui was actually appointed as the governor again in a blink of an eye, and he had already stated that he would focus on the provincial capital. As long as he is a hardcore confidant, he will wait for his brother to take him to fly together! Will he laugh even if he dreams?

As mentioned before, 20 to 30% of the magistrates in the world were all the same year as Mr. Zhao. So in addition to Qin Shunhan, there were also magistrates of Raoping Liu Rugao and magistrate Chaoyang Huang Yilong, who were also Jinshi in the second year of Longqing.

Of course, Huang Yilong was very happy, but he also had hidden worries in his happiness.

Because he read the Tangbao in the province that his confidant Lin Daoqian, who was entrenched in the lower tail of Chaoyang, took the initiative to attack Zeng Yiben at the order of Master Zhao and lifted the siege of Chaozhou. Now, the guy relied on this great contribution and would probably be even more inflamed.

And I heard from the news that the governor was about to ask for rewards for Lin Daoqian on his merits. Is there any way to live? So this time, he must ask you to take a charter in the same year to clearly show how he should deal with Lin Daoqian in the future.

As for the magistrate Liu Rugao, he was left with only amazement. In just one month, he had lost ten kilograms and his complexion was much worse. He was sitting there as if he was sitting on pins and needles and needles, and his life was as good as the New Year.

It is completely opposite to Qin Shunhan who made great contributions. He offended this Guisun...

When Zhao Erye had just entered Chaozhou Prefecture from Fujian, his first stop was Raoping County under his jurisdiction. However, he closed the city gates and came out of the city to meet Zhao Shouzheng.

Mr. Zhao took care of him to borrow troops, but due to the opposition of the gentry, he did not lend him any one. He just watched Mr. Zhao go to the capital.

I thought Mr. Zhao was in trouble now, but I didn't expect that he would beat Zeng Yiben away beautifully, win the battle to defend the city, and be promoted to acting prefect by the governor.

And I heard that the Chief Secretary also made it clear that as long as there was no problem, Zhao Shouzheng would continue to be appointed and would not send the prefect to come again.
Chapter completed!
