Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Chapter 492 An inspiration

Zhu Di agreed and then suddenly had an idea and added another clause.

As soon as any court official reaches the age of sixty, the Ministry of Revenue will directly notify the official six months in advance.

The handover should be done gradually. As long as the handover is clear, you can go to the Ministry of Households to collect a retirement allowance and leave. If you behave yourself honestly and do not commit crimes in the future, you can still receive a pension every month until you die.

Zhu Di was particularly annoyed by the previous rules.

I asked for my resignation three times, but he rejected my resignation three times and tried to keep me. It took a lot of back and forth to get the matter settled.

There are some people he really wants to keep, no matter what the rules are, he will keep them.

But for some people, he is so disgusted that he has to keep them, and sometimes it takes a long time for them to resign for the second or third time.

Play with him!!!

The new policies passed by three generations of men in the Zhu family were ultimately unsuccessful under Zhu Di, even though there were different voices in the court.

It was implemented a month ago.

Just as Zhu Zhanji had concluded from his previous observations.

The most experienced people in the court are basically around sixty years old.

At the age of sixty, there are basically no great ambitions. Most people are just biding their time, waiting to retire at the age of seventy and receive a pension.

They were on the bench with no end in sight, and they had to get up earlier than the roosters every day to attend the morning court. But they were unwilling to leave on their own, and now that they could retire at the age of 60 and continue to receive the court's salary, everyone would be respectable.

The imperial court will not interfere with how they live in the future. Opening a small academy to teach students can reserve talents for the Ming Dynasty. Those who are interested in studying miscellaneous subjects can present any feasible results to the royal family. Those who are quick-witted can take a generous retirement allowance and start their own business after losing their status as court officials.

Quite a few people happily collected their money and left this month.

Moreover, during the handover process.

The work done by three or four people is not enough for one person.

Those who cannot hand over their work within half a year are the ones who actually do the work.

Of course, these people did not receive their retirement benefits.

Zhu Di immediately issued an imperial decree, promoting all those who actually worked for the court by one level, allowing them to continue serving as officials in the court for a period of ten years. The decision would be made again after ten years. When they retired again, they would receive a pension based on their current rank.

At this moment, most, if not all, officials in the court became active.

They have all studied for so many years. From the perspective of serving the country and the people and leaving a good reputation for generations to come, they would prefer to be retained by the emperor after retiring at the age of sixty.

"Compared to my father, I seem to be a little immature."

Zhu Zhanji felt a little ashamed.

When it comes to understanding the psychology of court officials, his father and grandfather are better than him.

He originally thought that no matter what, he was better than his grandfather who was always calling for violence and violence.

The results of it?

His grandfather's sudden inspiration was more useful than anything else.

Only by sincerely inviting back the people who actually did the work could we truly capture the hearts of those officials who were willing to serve the court.

"Whether it's the students entering the court or the imperial examinations, they are both ways for the court to select useful talents. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. You can't generalize. Your grandfather is very clear about this. He has no bias towards anyone."

Zhu Gaochi was also very convinced.

He had read a lot and knew how difficult it was for people like him to pass the exam from being a student to becoming a Jinshi.
