In the office, there was a pile of leather equipment. There were leather armors, leather belts, knee pads, wrist pads, and leather boots. Although Qing 'er was usually very naughty, she was very serious when it came to work.
Ouyang Shuo picked up the equipment and looked at them one by one. The wild bull boss's fur was sewn into two pieces of leather armor and four leather belts. The wild boar boss's fur was sewn into four sets of knee pads and wrist pads. The wild wolf boss's fur was sewn into four sets of leather boots. As for the wild boar boss's fur, it was not very valuable and was sewn into four quivers by Qing 'er.
There were a total of eighteen pieces of equipment. Apart from the leather armor, the rest were all silver-grade equipment. Of the two leather armors, one was gold-grade and the other was dark-gold grade. Ouyang Shuo estimated that Qing 'er must have used this dark-gold grade leather armor to break through and become a master-grade tailor.
[Name]: Bull Protection (dark-gold grade)
[Type]: Leather armor
[Weight]: 3 kg
[Defense]: 60
[Toughness]: 65
[Maker]: Mu Qingsi (Has the right to name the equipment)
[Evaluation]: High-level tailor Mu Qingsi, made from the wild bull boss's leather with a grade of 9. Exquisite craftsmanship, reasonable design, excellent protection.
At this stage, high-end players had already adopted black-iron equipment, and occasionally one or two silver-grade equipment. As for gold-grade equipment, probably only the leaders of the top ten mercenary groups had one or two, and they treated it like a treasure.
As for dark-gold equipment, there were definitely no more than five in the entire China server. It was basically monopolized by Lord-class players. Even if Qing 'er tried again, she might not be able to make another dark-gold grade leather armor. There was a lot of luck involved.
Ouyang Shuo immediately changed out of the Barbaric Protection leather armor he was wearing and put on the dark-gold grade Bull Protection. Then he put on the leather belt and knee pads. As for the wrist pads and leather boots, because they were both silver-grade, he did not change them.
He planned to reward the infantry platoon with the rest of the equipment. Because the weapons workshop did not have the conditions to make iron armor, the newly formed infantry platoon was made up of light infantry. These leather armors were suitable for them.
However, now was not the time to give out the rewards. First, they had not officially become infantry, and second, the infantry platoon leader had not been decided yet, so he did not know who would be rewarded.
After dealing with the equipment, Ouyang Shuo stayed in the office and did not go out again.
On the afternoon of the second day, the results of the year-end assessment of the government officials of the Merit Examination Department finally came out.
In the mayor's office, Fan Zhongyan, Tian Wenjing, and Cui Yingyou, the three directors, gathered together once again to listen to the report on the year-end assessment from the Merit Examination Department.
Fan Zhongyan got up and saluted Ouyang Shuo. Then, he said, "This assessment is mainly targeted at the grassroots government officials. As for the officers in charge of the various departments, they would be personally inspected by the lord and were not within the scope of this assessment. In addition, the North Sea Village and the Public Order Division had just been established, so they were not within the scope of this assessment. Therefore, the evaluation this time is mainly aimed at the Agriculture Department, Construction Department, and Household Registration Department under the Administrative Department; the Tax Department, Commercial Department, and the Bank of the Four Seas under the Finance Department; the Salt Field Department, War Preparation Department, Material Department, and the Chariot Department under the Supplies Department. "
"The evaluation this time will mainly focus on the two aspects of morality and talent. Three agencies, eight divisions, and a direct subordinate organization had a total of sixty-four grassroots government personnel. Of those who were evaluated as excellent, four were evaluated as excellent, eighteen were evaluated as good, thirty-nine were evaluated as qualified, and three were evaluated as poor. "
After listening to Fan Zhongyan's report, Ouyang Shuo's expression became solemn. From the results of the assessment, it was not difficult to see that the quality of the government officials at the grass-roots level was generally on the low side. More than half of them were only qualified. There were only four people who were excellent, and there were three who were bad. This couldn't help but make him very angry. He asked in a deep voice, "Who was the one who received the mission?"
"Among the three of them, one of them is a construction supervisor called Zhao Si. According to the reaction of the craftsmen, this person's style was rough, often insulting and even whipping the craftsmen. One of them was the manager of the Supplies Department's butcher shop, Sun Quan. According to the shop assistant, this person often took the meat from the butcher's shop home, and then made up for the deficit by shortening the weight. The last person was the granary manager of the Resource Division. He neglected his duties and the granary was infested with rats. He didn't notice it in time, causing over a thousand units of food to be damaged. "Fan Zhongyan clearly came prepared and reported in great detail.
Ouyang Shuo's face was gloomy as he asked, "What's the opinion of the Assessment Bureau regarding these three?"
"The Merit Examination Department's opinion is to remove them from their positions and never hire them again."
Ouyang Shuo clearly didn't want to let these parasites off so easily. He said sternly, "This kind of punishment is far from enough. In my opinion, these three should be punished to build the city wall and moat for free. They only need to have three meals a day. The punishment will end when the work is completed. This will serve as a warning to others. "
"With such parasites appearing in the department, the various department heads are also responsible for their negligence. I've decided to punish Zhao Dewang, the director of the Construction Department, with two months' salary and Du Xiaolan, the director of the Supplies Department, with three months' salary. In addition, I remember that the butcher shop manager was appointed by the former Deputy Director of the Supplies Department, Zhao Youfang. He also needs to be punished, and heavily punished. I've already told them to be cautious in choosing a manager, but this kind of thing still happened. I've decided to punish Zhao Youfang with half a year's salary, and at the same time, remove him from his position as the director of the Combat Division and demote him to a Deputy Director. "
Ouyang Shuo's thunderous methods made the hearts of the three directors tense up. Not only did he increase the punishment for dereliction of duty, but he also further investigated the responsibility of their superiors.
The Director of the Supplies Department, Tian Wenjing, was even more apprehensive. Among the three people removed from their positions this time, two of them belonged to the Supplies Department, and one of them was even removed from his position as a director. As the director, he naturally couldn't absolve himself from the blame.
Tian Wenjing stood up, bowed, and said loudly, "This subordinate can't absolve himself from the blame for such a slip-up in the Supplies Department. Please punish me, my lord!"
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand. "Director Tian, you haven't been in office for long, and you weren't around when the other two were in office. As the saying goes, the ignorant are not guilty. This time, we're mainly punishing the culprit, so it's not appropriate to expand the scope of the attack. Of course, I also hope that Director Tian can properly rectify the administrative system after you've been demoted. Don't let similar situations happen again. "
Tian Wenjing nodded vigorously. "Thank you for your forgiveness, my lord. This subordinate will definitely work hard to thoroughly rectify the Supplies Department so that I won't betray my lord's trust in me."
Ouyang Shuo looked at Fan Zhongyan again and asked, "Who are the winners?"
"Among the four, one of them is a grass-roots clerk in charge of water conservancy projects in the Department of Agriculture. His name is Sun Yannong. He's deeply loved by the farmers, and he leads them in water conservancy projects. He has both ability and integrity. Another one is a grass-roots clerk in charge of planning in the Construction Department. His name is Hao Jiancheng. It's all thanks to this person that the construction of the city wall and moat project could progress so smoothly. Another one is a clerk in charge of handling loans for the Bank of the Four Seas. Her name is Yang Yun. She's attentive and attentive. The last one is the head of the Salt Bureau, Shen Zhui. This person is skilled in his work and has a deep understanding of salt drying techniques. "Fan Zhongyan's evaluation was very precise and to the point.
Ouyang Shuo's expression softened as he said with a smile, "Good, these outstanding talents should be put in an important position. I've already said that those who make mistakes will be punished, and those who make contributions will be rewarded. I've decided to appoint Sun Yannong as the deputy director of the Department of Agriculture, Hao Jiancheng as the assistant director of the Construction Department, Yang Yun as the manager of the Bank of the Four Seas, and Shen Zhui as the deputy director of the Salt Bureau. "
Fan Zhongyan frowned and hesitated for a moment, but he still braced himself and said, "My lord, I admit that Sun Yannong and Shen Zhui are outstanding, but isn't it a little excessive to directly promote them to deputy directors? This subordinate suggests that it's better to appoint them as the assistant director first. "
Ouyang Shuo shook his head. "Since these young people are so outstanding, we should boldly promote them and build a broader political platform for them. Of course, there's another reason why we're in such a rush to promote them. Since you've asked, I'll give you a simple explanation. "
"Let's talk about the Salt Fields Department first. Since the day it was established, there hasn't been a proper chief officer. First, it was me, then you, Sven, and now Yangon. All of them have been taken over by a higher ranked chief officer. This situation is not conducive to the development of the Salt Bureau in the long run. Therefore, I've decided to make Shen Zhui an important candidate for the Salt Bureau. If he can carry the banner of the Salt Bureau at the right time, then I won't hesitate to promote him again. "
"As for the Department of Agriculture, it's a huge department that's in charge of the territory's agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry. It's obviously a bit strenuous to rely on Director Zhao Dexian alone. Therefore, it's very necessary to appoint a deputy director. Not only these two departments, if there are any outstanding talents in the other departments, the three of you can recommend them to me at any time. As the territory continues to expand, it's very necessary to increase the strength of the territory's reserve talents. Giving more opportunities to the newcomers is creating more possibilities for the territory. "
The three directors nodded in acceptance of Ouyang Shuo's explanation. The reason why Ouyang Shuo explained so much was naturally because he didn't want the three ministers to have any doubts. Many of his ideas had to be realized through them. If they couldn't communicate well, there would be deviations in the process of implementation. This was something he didn't want to see.
The atmosphere immediately became relaxed after handling the evaluation matters.
Cui Yingyou said with a smile, "Big brother, it's almost the new year. Have you prepared any rewards? Everyone has worked hard, and we're all looking forward to the lord's distribution of wealth. "
Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, "Alright, we do need to properly reward them. How about this, I'll set a standard for the rewards. The directors of each department will be given 1 gold coin, the deputy directors 80 silver coins, and the directors' assistants 50 silver coins. Grassroots government officials will be rewarded with 1 gold coin, good ones will be rewarded with 30 silver coins, and those who pass the evaluation will be rewarded with 10 silver coins. The finance department will be in charge of the statistics. Come to me after the statistics are done. "
"Then what about the three of us?" Ying You asked.
"You guys naturally can't use this stinking money as a reward. Don't worry, I've prepared a separate reward. As for what it is, we'll find out tomorrow. "Ouyang Shuo joked.
