Fang Yun continued, "Since Ning'an County is a pilot for the industry, the county must make changes in some aspects. The first step is to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments! What are your opinions?"
The officials present bowed their heads and remained silent. Even Shen Ming, who wanted to take this opportunity to counterattack Fang Yun, decided not to speak.
The acting county magistrate of the palace examination actually has more power than an ordinary county magistrate, because the successful candidates in the palace examination themselves have the responsibility to innovate. Even if it is a little excessive, as long as the Sacred Academy does not step in to stop it, in principle countries will not prohibit it.
Now, Ning'an County has become a pilot county for Gongdian's reform, and Fang Yun has even more power. These officials can make trouble secretly, but they have no reason to stop Fang Yun in person.
"Everything is decided by the county magistrate." Tao Dingnian said.
Fang Yun said: "The punishment is to punish those who seriously violate the law and do not know how to stop."
Everyone present was an experienced person, and they knew very well that Fang Yun had already drawn a line for the standard of punishment this time: serious violations of the law; for those who were not serious, based on the principle of curing illness and saving lives, they would be given a chance to make amends, or be lightly punished, but not severely punished.
"If there is punishment, there must be reward. Take Liang Fangzhu as an example. He worked hard to save the dyeing factory. His contribution is huge. How can that little reward be enough? Naturally, he must be rewarded more."
Yu Ba Chi bowed and said, "Sir, I have some questions."
"Go ahead." Fang Yun's expression was natural, as if he had already expected Yu Bachi to bring it up.
"I think that a high reward can only be given as an exception, not as a general reward. If an ordinary neighborhood owner earns four or five hundred taels of silver a year, it is far more than those officials of the same generation. I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public and will cause dissatisfaction."
Fang Yun smiled and said, "They are officials, not workshop owners. If they love money more than official positions, they can resign and work in workshops, or resign and go into business. Moreover, the income of ordinary officials is much higher than that of workshop workers. According to you, those great Confucian scholars who pursue the holy way cannot become prime ministers or kings, so they want to rebel?"
Fang Yun seemed to want to say something else, but he didn't continue.
"This... is just some of my little thoughts, not worth mentioning." Yu Ba Chi frowned. He dared not say more. After all, the other party was a virtual saint. His real power was not as good as that of the monarch, but his honorary status was even higher than that of the monarch. The saying "to accompany the monarch is like to accompany a tiger" also applies to Fang Yun.
Chief Clerk Shen Ming glanced at County Magistrate Tao Dingnian, then lowered his head and smiled smugly. He then held the official seal and sent the news to Ji Zhibai, adding a note at the end: "Fang Yun is eager for quick success and instant benefits. He even tried to fight against the official system with his own strength. In the end, he will inevitably be bitten back! Official administration is to be in harmony with the world. With someone like him, the world would have been in chaos long ago! However, he is very smart. He attacked the workshop first and did not attack the government office. However, the workshop owner and the official are one and the same. If there is any problem with his attack, it will definitely anger a large number of officials! At that time, I will see how he is evaluated in the field of official administration!"
"Keep observing. Maybe he has a plan to deal with it. Also, have the issues with those workshops been dealt with?"
"Don't worry, it will be handled cleanly. What's more, you didn't get any benefit in the first place."
Seeing that no one objected, Fang Yun said, "In this case, I will use the performance appraisal system of the Ministry of Personnel of various countries as a reference and implement a performance appraisal system in the workshop!"
Fang Yun's words were very normal, his voice, tone and expression were all the same as usual, but everyone felt as if struck by lightning!
Even Ao Huang, the real dragon who controls thunder, felt his ears vibrate!
Everyone looked at each other in surprise, this was unusual!
It was too obvious that Fang Yun's so-called performance appraisal system must have a particularly significant meaning, triggering changes in the surrounding heaven and earth vitality and even the fortune of Ning'an County.
Even the previous important legal reforms and institutional reforms did not produce such a vision!
Moreover, Fang Yun can trigger changes just by saying a name. If the entire system is thoroughly established, it will surely be an astonishing achievement!
It's not even as good as "Three Character Classic" or "Fox Rhymes"!
Performance appraisal is to evaluate employees according to certain standards, and then provide positive guidance and changes to employees based on the evaluation results.
Fang Yun hesitated for a long time regarding the performance appraisal system, which can be regarded as a powerful weapon. From the root, this system originated from the civil servant appraisal system. It is not essentially different from the human official appraisal system. It can even be said to be a system that is thousands of years ahead of the official appraisal system. Therefore, it is very suitable for the Shengyuan Continent.
Performance appraisal has its shortcomings, but the problem is that there is no better system that can be used in Shengyuan Continent.
Moreover, there are many methods of performance appraisal. As long as you explore slowly, you will always find a path that is perfectly suited to the Shengyuan Continent.
Performance appraisal is only a part of performance management, and performance management is just a type of management system.
Fang Yun is still not sure whether performance management is completely suitable for Shengyuan Continent, but performance management can be used as a ladder, or even a cornerstone, to pave the way for the best management model for Shengyuan Continent in the future!
Fang Yun clearly realized that what he had to do was not to pry open the Shengyuan Continent, but to be that key fulcrum. As long as there was a fulcrum, the human race would be able to pry open the Shengyuan Continent and accelerate development!
"What I have to do is to point the way, not teach them how to walk! The human race is always stronger than you think!"
Fang Yun said slowly: "Starting from tomorrow, I will choose a large workshop and gradually change the workshop's structure and system to make the workshop run more efficiently. But before that, I will create a position of 'Overseeing All Workshop Affairs in Ning'an County', referred to as 'Chief Engineer', who will be responsible for all organs of the county's workshops. Do you have a good candidate?"
Ao Huang whispered, "Stubborn old man."
Yu Ba Chi's eyes turned, and he immediately said, "Your Excellency, Liu Yu is the best candidate."
Shen Ming said, "Such an important position should at least be held by a scholar. Although Mr. Liu Yu is diligent, he is only a student after all."
"Oh? Then Master Shen, please recommend someone to me." Fang Yun said.
Shen Ming was stunned and almost said the name, but his many years of experience in officialdom prevented him from being rash. After thinking about it carefully, he cursed inwardly that this was another trap set by Fang Yun. If he recommended someone, Fang Yun would definitely do his best to find the person's crime, making an example of him to let others know the consequences of going against Fang Yun's wishes.
If Fang Yun wanted to appoint officials to the county government, Shen Ming would dare to argue with him, but now Fang Yun only appointed people from the workshop, and he had the permission of the Palace of Works. The chief clerk could not control it, but the general secretary of the workshop of the county government could.
Shen Ming looked at the workshop general secretary, but the workshop general secretary kept his head down and couldn't see him at all.
Shen Ming suddenly remembered that among the shop owners that Fang Yun had "interviewed" yesterday, several of them had a very close relationship with the workshop general secretary, and one of them was a cousin! That cousin made a lot of money, but Fang Yun raised it high and put it down lightly, just pointing out some things, then scolding a few words, and said nothing more.
"Fang Yun's staff are not simple..." Shen Ming looked at Fang Yun's staff suspiciously, wondering who came up with the idea.
Since the workshop secretary didn't say anything, no one else could do anything. Finally, the dust settled and the stubborn old man Liu Yu was appointed as the workshop chief engineer.
Afterwards, Fang Yun announced the reward for Liu Yu. (To be continued)i640
