In July, Hainan Island reached the hottest season, and the work of rebuilding institutions in Chaochao also entered a key point, which can be said to be an extremely arduous task. When Zhao Bing entered Qiong, he had to pick up generals from a lie to make up for the shortcomings. However, after the relocation of Chaochao, he was worried about the problems of too many officials. This was not only to pay their salaries and solve their housing, but also to arrange work for them.

Before moving to Qiong, even the Ministry of Personnel could not figure out how many officials were there. Among them were the officials who fled with Empress Dowager Yang and the two princes, the officials who came to join after Lin'an fell, and officials who were unemployed or who had fallen in the village also came to serve the king. After the establishment of Xingchao, in order to boost morale, many officials were appointed.

As he wandered around the court, he even went all the way and was granted officials. The powerful landlords in some places donated some gold, silver and food, and even bandits and robbers could become officials as long as they expressed their loyalty to the court. They were truly the magistrate, the magistrate gave them as casually, the magistrate, the magistrate, the magistrate, and the magistrate were also spread all over the ground, and there were even more military and horse envoys and defense envoys.

Such a large area, uncontrollable appointing officials is inevitably mixed. Some people just want to get a job as a member of the glorious ancestor; some people just want to make an official position and bet that the Song Dynasty will not perish; some people just want to get more benefits after surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty. Of course, there are also many loyal ministers and righteous men who serve the king and resist foreign humiliation.

However, under the continuous attacks of the Mongols, some officials were loyal to the country, some surrendered to the Mongols, some abandoned their officials, and many people stayed in the court, and followed the court to Qiongzhou. The territory here was limited, and there were only three armies and eight counties under its jurisdiction. There were so many positions to place so many officials. What was terrible is that many of them were not virtuous and incompetent and could not be competent at all.

Zhao Bing was also mentally prepared for this. When he decided to move to Qiong, he knew that he had to take on this burden, otherwise he would be disloyal and betray himself, and destroy his reputation as a dynasty. However, he was still very grateful to the Mongolians, and secretly thanked him for solving the "three redundant" problem that had not been solved for three hundred years in the Song Dynasty, and raised millions of troops in the Song Dynasty for him, and dealt with the number of officials of all sizes and big and small!

However, what Zhao Bing is most grateful to is that the Mongolians captured or killed their relatives, cleaned them up and "helped" him to reduce a lot of burden. Otherwise, the amount of money he had obtained through hardship would not be enough to spend them, and he would have to worry about them robbing their seats all day long. Now that he has eliminated the troubles for him and reduced his expenses, he doesn't know how to thank them...

"Your Majesty, all the officials who have moved to the court have been checked. Please preview it!" Today is the court proposal held by Chen Zhongwei to report on the work and listen to the next step of the arrangement, so he started the remarks first.

"Come on!" Zhao Bing nodded, but when he saw the two-foot roster behind him, his heart couldn't help but sink.

"Your Majesty, the officials who entered Qiong after the Ministry of Personnel were ordered to conduct statistics. There were 8,896 civil and military officials, including more than 6,000 ranks and more than 3,600 ranks and more than 3,600 ranks!" Chen Zhongwei reported again.

"Well, there are still many officials who are in the court!" Zhao Bing nodded with satisfaction. He was still a little relieved. In the Renzong era, there were more than 17,000 internal and external officials in the central government, and now there are more than half of them. But I feel very distressed. If it is implemented, the proportion of officials in Qiongzhou is probably going to be able to set a Guinness world record. There are many unemployed officials among them who need to support themselves, but it seems that people who are eating for free are indispensable!

"Report to Your Majesty, I and the Prime Ministers and the Lords reorganized and investigated the provinces, Taiwan, temples, and supervisors, and reduced their false positions. More than 1,200 officials can be placed in court. More than 300 local prefectures and counties, and more than 600 troops are included in the army!" Chen Zhongwei reported.

"Yes." Zhao Bing listened and looked through the roster and said no.

Zhao Bing has also done some homework these days. He knew that in the early Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin had faced the same dilemma as himself. Out of the need to stabilize people's hearts and consolidate the regime, and promoted new people with low capital order and talent to take important positions. He resettled incompetent or unwilling to surrender officials to their idleness. His positive role was obvious; at the same time, it also brought obvious disadvantages.

The former provincial officials became idle officials or rank officials, and unless they were specially ordered, they did not manage their own affairs, causing disorder in the official system. As the number of officials was increasing and the actual positions and work content was limited, many of these officials became empty positions. At that time, people said that "those who hold officials and do not know their positions are ten regulars." This means that those who occupy official positions but have nothing to do all day long are only one out of ten people, which is similar to the current empty salary.

It is one thing to know, but another to actually operate. Zhao Bing currently has to set up a stage for the needs of stability or the needs of retaining backbones, and he cannot always set up a straw troupe to perform. Therefore, he proposed to moderately compress the personnel of various provinces, Taiwan, department, and supervisors to strengthen grassroots forces. While solving the problem of some officials’ placement, a group of people who really cannot use food and drink, leaving room for future expansion. So he is still very satisfied with their work.

"Your Majesty, in order to retain those with talents, but cannot be placed for the time being, I believe that they can be admitted to the Bachelor's College and the Hanlin Academy; some who have passed the provincial examination and provincial examination can be admitted to the Imperial College to study and cultivate talents for the country; those who are really unavailable can order some personnel to retire to reduce the expenses of the court." Chen Zhongwei replied again.

"It's feasible!" Zhao Bing hesitated and said. He thought that the methods of layoffs were similar in history. For some talented people to change units, they would raise them first, and wait for the opportunity to get a chance to go to school; for those who are young and have value-oriented, they would go to school; for those who can't do anything, they would get half of their salary.

However, Zhao Bing still had some complaints about arranging some people to the Bachelor's Academy and Hanlin Academy. This Bachelor's Academy is actually equivalent to the emperor's secretariat. Hanlin Bachelor's is known as the "Emperor's Private". Their main job is to manage internal systems and draft various activities in the palace. Another function is to serve the emperor as an adviser and provide the responsibility, that is, as the emperor's think tank and adviser, use his knowledge of the rules and regulations of the past dynasties and imperial studies that he is proficient in his mind to make plans.
