After racking their brains, the Zhejiang army still couldn't think of any good solution and shook their heads.
Zhu Pingan stood on the high platform, taking in the expressions of the crowd. Seeing that no one had proposed a solution, he slowly said, "As you can see, even the monks who are free from all four elements and pure in six senses have so many things to do and are so troublesome. What about us ordinary people and our Zhejiang Army?"
"Well, we seem to have more problems and more troubles..."
"Yes, there are so many people, and it's easy to have problems when compared. I won't talk about others, but I actually have complaints in my heart. I train hard every day, but many people just slack off, and we end up getting the same salary."
"If you want to say something, I have it too. The last time our team killed the Japanese pirates, I contributed the most and risked my life to stop them. It was really dangerous. Fortunately, I stopped them and dealt them a heavy blow. However, the silver is still divided equally among us."
"I say what I mean, and I never hide anything. In our squad, except for the squad leader, I have the best skills. In every competition, I always come in second. But Xiangyin is just as good as Wang Dandan, who has the worst skills. I have been feeling uncomfortable for a long time."
There was a buzz of applause from the audience, and they began to understand why their master told them the story of the three monks.
"That's right. Whether we admit it or not, we have more problems and complaints than the monks in the story. If we don't solve these problems, our Zhejiang Army will have more and more hidden dangers. Not only will we fail to train a strong army that can fight well, but we will also be in danger of being united in appearance but divided in spirit, and falling apart."
Zhu Ping'an stood on the high platform and sighed.
"Sir, how should we solve this problem?" the Zhejiang army asked one after another.
"Don't worry, everyone. I have thought of a solution. This is the first thing I want to announce. From today on, our Zhejiang Army will begin to implement the discipline and performance appraisal system." Zhu Ping'an stood on the podium and said word by word.
"Discipline and performance assessment?"
“What is performance appraisal?”
The Zhejiang troops were stunned for a moment, not knowing what the so-called disciplinary and performance evaluation system their superiors were talking about was.
"What is performance appraisal? Let's take the monks just now as an example. The abbot conducts performance appraisal on them, which means that their work is appraised and graded. For example, when fetching water, the water storage and water quality are evaluated, and they are divided into different grades. For example, when cooking, the fermentation of steamed buns and the color, aroma and taste of the dishes are evaluated, and they are also divided into different grades... Every ten days or a month, the monks are rewarded or punished accordingly according to the evaluation scores. The monks' food, accommodation and other treatment as well as promotions are also linked to the performance of the evaluation. This is performance appraisal."
Zhu Ping'an cited the example of a monk and briefly explained to the Zhejiang troops what disciplinary and performance appraisal is.
The examples Zhu Pingan gave were vivid, easy to understand and simple, and the Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers immediately understood the discipline and performance appraisal.
"Well, this performance evaluation is good. You will be evaluated and scored for how well you fetch water and cook. Rewards and punishments will be given based on the evaluation scores. Treatment and promotions are linked to the performance of the evaluation. Those who do well will be rewarded, and those who do not will be punished. In this way, those who slack off will not be able to slack off."
"Well, with this performance assessment, the temple will no longer be in chaos, and the monks will have something to work for."
"Your Excellency is worthy of being an Excellency. You can come up with such an idea. You are worthy of being the Wenquxing from heaven."
"How do we implement disciplinary performance assessment?"
After understanding the discipline and performance appraisal, the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army were very impressed and curious about how the discipline and performance appraisal would be implemented in the military camps in the future.
"From this moment on, our Zhejiang Army will begin to implement disciplinary performance assessment. Both officers and soldiers are included in the disciplinary performance assessment. Before, the salary of our Zhejiang Army was one and a half taels of silver per month, and everyone was the same; however, after the implementation of the disciplinary performance assessment, your salaries will be different. According to the results of each person's disciplinary performance assessment, the soldiers with excellent assessments will receive generous salaries. How generous is it? I tell you, the best two grades will receive higher salaries than this officer!!"
Zhu Ping'an stood on the stage and spoke loudly.
"What?! The salary of the top two ranks is higher than yours?!" The Zhejiang soldiers opened their mouths excitedly.
Zhu Ping'an's prestige in the military camp made all the Zhejiang Army soldiers believe what Zhu Ping'an said. If you say that the salaries of the top two ranks will be higher than your own, then that must be the case.
So, they were very excited.
"Of course, those who perform poorly in the assessment will also be severely punished. In serious cases, they will be expelled from the military camp and will never be recruited again."
Zhu Pingan reminded with a serious face.
There are rewards and punishments, and serious offenders will be expelled from the Zhejiang Army. The Zhejiang Army has calmed down a lot from their excitement.
"How do we in the Zhejiang Army conduct disciplinary and performance assessments, and how do we assess and score them?" Many Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers asked with concern.
"The discipline and effectiveness assessment of our Zhejiang Army is divided into three aspects. The first aspect is the performance of the soldiers in daily training; the second aspect is the daily discipline of the soldiers; and the third aspect is the actual combat performance. The results of the assessment are divided into top-top, top-middle, top-bottom, middle-top, middle-middle, middle-bottom, bottom-top, bottom-middle, and bottom-bottom, a total of three grades and nine items. In addition to these three grades and nine items, there is also a special super grade. Soldiers with excellent assessment results can get rewards and opportunities for promotion, and soldiers with poor assessment results will be punished and demoted. The results of each assessment will be recorded in your files in our army."
As Zhu Ping'an spoke, he stretched out three fingers one by one and explained to the Zhejiang army below the stage.
"Sir, how are the three aspects assessed and scored?" Zhejiang Army officers and soldiers asked one after another.
Zhu Pingan stood on the high platform and announced loudly to everyone: "First, your daily training performance will be assessed and scored through individual training demonstrations, two-person competitions, two-squad and two-squad confrontation exercises, and weapon and armor maintenance. Second, your daily discipline will be assessed and scored based on your daily compliance with military discipline, including marching discipline, camping discipline, sentry discipline, infantry discipline, etc. The actual combat killing of the enemy will be assessed and scored based on your performance in combat, including charging, beheading generals and seizing flags, blocking the enemy, rescuing one's own side, and other battlefield performances. Those with excellent assessment results and progress will be rewarded, and those with poor assessment results and declining performance will be punished. If they are punished five times in a row, they will be expelled from the army. At the same time, all officers in the camp, such as the squad leaders and sergeants, will use the overall assessment results of their soldiers as their disciplinary assessment results, and will be rewarded or punished for this."
