Chapter 383 Ying Zheng Wants to Retire
In the Yuxuan Pavilion.
Looking at the information sent by Qinglong, Ying Yu shook his head slightly.
With the continuous development of Daqin, some old people such as Feng Quji are indeed a little behind the development of the times.
Their thinking has been solidified and cannot be changed in a short while.
However, they are all heroes for Daqin, and they have made a lot of contributions to the construction of Daqin, and they must not use strong methods.
After thinking about it, Ying Yu felt that it was necessary to introduce a comprehensive retirement system.
For example, although Feng Quji and others have made great achievements, they are already old after all, and their energy cannot keep up. They will inevitably do wrong things.
Moreover, these old people have always occupied prominent positions, which is not conducive to the development of Daqin. If any era wants to develop rapidly, it needs fresh blood.
If they are not promoted for a long time, young people who were originally full of enthusiasm will also become confused and lose their vigor and vitality.
And the improvement of the retirement system will allow these veterans who have worked hard for most of their lives to obtain perfect living security and enjoy their old age comfortably after they are old and weak.
At the same time, it can also free up the position and hand it over to more aggressive young people, which can be said to be the best of both worlds.
However, the retirement system involves too many aspects, even for Ying Yu, it is difficult to do it easily.
After thinking for a long time and conceiving the basic structure, Ying Yu went directly to Xianyang Palace.
......
"A plan to improve the retirement system?"
In the imperial study room, after listening to Ying Yu's introduction, Ying Zheng's face showed a hint of deep thought.
In Daqin, the official title of retirement is "Zhi Shi", which means to return the official position to the monarch.
The word "zhishi" appeared as early as the Shang Dynasty.
However, due to many reasons, Zhishi has not been implemented very well. In many cases, the courtiers are really unable to support, so they will apply to the king to return to their hometowns, hoping to return to their hometowns to live up to their old age.
Moreover, there is no established regulation for the protection after graduation.
Even for the Sangong Jiuqing, most of them are just one-time rewards given by the king according to his merits when he leaves the court.
As for middle-level and low-level officials who had no chance to meet the monarch, many of them simply left empty-handed, and lived their lives after they became official, relying entirely on their savings.
Some wealthy officials are fine, but a few honest and self-contained officials who came from poor backgrounds did not have much savings when they returned to their hometowns, and their life in their later years was quite poor.
This is already considered relatively good, at least there is a chance to rest, many virtuous ministers, due to reasons such as not being able to find a suitable replacement, directly died of exhaustion in their posts.
But also caused a lot of negative effects.
Many courtiers who performed well in the past, when they are about to leave their official positions, often make money like crazy for their future life, leaving a mess.
There are also some officials, although they don't make money, they have been occupying positions in order to continue to get their salaries, but they can't make enough contributions. This is also a major hidden danger to the operation of the entire court.
And if there is a perfect retirement system, so that officials can still have a secure life after they retire, it will be different.
Officials, as long as they reach the prescribed age, they can return to their hometowns with peace of mind.
Of course, for these retired officials, the imperial court will continue to distribute salaries. In addition, there are some other welfare benefits that can allow them to live a comfortable and prosperous life in their later years.
Most of the courtiers would not object to this kind of fame and fortune.
And for those with mediocre abilities, the emperor can force them to retire without worrying about harsh and ruthless negative comments.
Although Daqin currently lacks talents for the time being, in many departments, one person holds several positions concurrently, and he is so busy that he is dizzy.
However, with the promotion of free official education, there will inevitably be more and more talents, and there will always be a time when they are saturated. At that time, there will be more talents than positions.
Once there is no flow, the running water will become stagnant water, which will soon become moldy and smelly.
Young people can't see hope, and it is easy to do some extreme things, which is also a hidden danger for Daqin.
Moreover, once a person gets old, his energy and spirit will indeed not keep up. He will easily lose his aggressiveness, become conservative and seek stability, and will instinctively reject all kinds of new things, and even hinder the development of the country.
Therefore, the improvement of the retirement system is completely the best of both worlds for the monarch and his subjects.
For the king, it is possible to keep his courtiers in the best condition and keep the court operation at its peak, and he will not lose the reputation of disregarding his meritorious officials.
At the same time, it can also let the younger generation see the hope of jumping into the dragon's gate, and inspire them to struggle and enterprising.
For the veterans, they can also leave the best image to the world. Even if they do some stupid things after retirement, it will not cause too much impact and their reputation will not be damaged.
Take Feng Quji as an example. Although many of his ideas in the past were inconsistent with those of the First Emperor, after many years, he has worked hard.
However, now Feng Quji is nearly seventy years old, his energy is not as good as before, and many ideas have become more conservative.
In terms of many reforms, although they are not opposed to them, they are not as active as Meng Yi and Dun Wei.
If it continues, the efficiency may be even lower, and it may even lead to a step that Emperor Shi Huang and Ying Yu do not want to see.
People like this, although they have made great contributions to Daqin, but now they may become obstacles in the way of Daqin's development.
For people like Feng Quji, if he didn't take the initiative to 'resign', even the emperor wouldn't have a good solution.
But if this retirement system is introduced, it will be different.
According to the system, not only can you continue to receive wages after retirement, but also have various benefits, no one has anything to say.
"According to your plan, not only Feng Quji, but also Wang Jian has reached the age to retire."
"Now my Daqin courtiers are indeed too old. Seeing the trembling appearance of a group of veterans, I can't bear it."
"Xiao He, Chen Ping, Han Xin and others should be given more opportunities."
Ying Zheng pondered for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and saying:
"This retirement system is very good. Specifically, after you perfect it, bring it to the court."
"promise!"
Ying Yu smiled slightly.
Sure enough, the first emperor's ability to accept new things was still as strong as ever.
He only needs to speak out the plan, and Ying Zheng will soon be able to figure out the pros and cons of it.
Just when Ying Yu was about to stand up and leave, Ying Zheng suddenly said with a smile on his face:
"Since all the courtiers have retirement benefits, shouldn't you also consider, the emperor, the benefits after retirement?"
Ying Yu was stunned when he heard this.
I was careless, how could I forget this.
