Oh My General (Jiang Jun Zai Shang / 将军在上)

in order to select talents from our royal family, we therefore designed this test

whoever pass the test, will be honored the title of "Chengxin Lang"

and will be entitle for life-long salary

just to make up a test

is it necessary to ask the police to catch me?

embarrassed me so much in front of my friends and brothers

this platform of imperial government, should be for those people with real talents

but not for those who have some knowledge

but problem carriers and makers

they spend 30% of their energy working,

however, I have to clean up their mess using 70% of my time

how can people like that, serving for our country?

what a significant day that your test results is to be released,

what is she doing in the military camp?

Ye Zhao, I hate you

I hate you very very much!

since you return to capital city, you have been acting strangly

come and leave without any trace, acting suspiciously

why?

do you prefer to die than tell me the truth?

even Minister Fan said, my writing

can hardly be differentiated (from the person who wrote it.)

it is nearly the same

brother Fan, do you know what kind of people living in your residence?

there is no one living with me apart from my adopted daughter Hong Qiang

don't be like Shang Yang (who initiated a reform), die in pieces

episode 26

my ministers you all know, our government has been ruling the country for over 80 years

there are problems and drawbacks that our government can no longer bear

therefore, it is essential and urgent to conduct a reform to eliminate drawbacks

now, Minister Fan Zhongyan

will explain the reform plan to you

I hope my ministers you can listen carefully

and collaborate to complete the plan

Minister Fan, please explain to us.

yes, my highness

I feel great honor for given the chance to participate in the political reform

and will not step away

today,

I summarized my years of working experiences to my highness

and to my colleagues, hoping to receive your great support

to complete the reform plan

1st item of reform

clarify officer's promotion and demotion system

now for administrative officers, they will be promoted every 3 years, and 5 years for military officers

without questioning their efficiency

performance

but years of working

therefore officers tend to act according to books, to avoid any mistakes.

they try no effects to innovate or conduct any improvements

their non-behaving is a method of being safe, but such method will breed greedy people

not solving problems , therefore emperor's name has been hurt

i therefore, sincerely ask my highness, to announce your edict

from now on, officers' promotions should consider their political performance

exceptions can be made for those with great contributions and performances

demote or replace incapable officers and guilty officers

2nd reform item

strictly prohibit short-cut promotion routes and easy posts

nowadays, ministers in capital city can

recommend their family members to work in the government

and work in the capital city

as soon as there is a post

dozens of people will fight for that position

for decades

such team is getting enormous

up to million numbers

most of them are man-about-town, or not talented people

in order for our government to have a cleaner and transparent future, reduce financial expenditure

we have to limit and minimize high rank minister's privileges

to avoid their children or grandchildren taking up important roles in the government

brother

sister, here you are eventually, i have been waiting for you for a good while

it has been a while since I saw you last time, you have grown higher

yep. I have heard that

although you

didn't perform well in the imperial exam

but you helped Jingzhaoyin, and solve a case of telling fake test questions

very true, my sister

sister, i don't have much chances to be in the palace

why don't you ask me what I am here for?

my brother, apart from eat, drink play and have fun

what else can you do?

sister, that is not quite correct. can't I grow up?

then, tell me

look, well, the Prince is in the patrol department

he has been doing a great job

I hope, sister, you can speak for me in front of the emperor

to get me a job in the government

I also wanted to work as ....

a vital government officer

my brother, you are growing up

you even want to be a vital government officer to serve the country

yes. Sister I am so happy for you

but

the timing

Minister Fan is initiating a reform

if I ask a position for you now

that is ...

not a good timing

sister,

you are loved by the emperor

it shouldn't be a difficult thing to ask for a position for me

in addition, who is going to set barriers for you...

sister, please help me please please

alright, alright

please help me!

i will try I will ask Minister Fan for you

great! thanks sister these 10 reform items

should be settled one by one

things beneficial to the public should be enhanced

illness of people must be cured

drawbacks of the politics must be eleminated

problems in the regulations must be amended

everyone regulates themselves, to make our country better

my ministers

what do you think?

my highness

these 10 policies are all responding to

our governments' fundamental benefits

if they can be implemented, they will bring great development to our country

through this simplified and corruption free system

to achieve the gold of simplified administrative system and good army system, reduce company burden

strong country, strong army, his opinions are very direct and clear

I, strongly support General Ye Zhao's opinions

we agree

these 10 reform items suggested by Minister Fan

clear political performance, reduce opportunists, more attention on imperial exams, select good officers

equal distribution of farm lands, more subsidies to farmers

promote trusted officials, repair weapons

underline orders

reduce taxes

these are all great and favorable politics to develop out country

they are all doable

I hope my ministers you can all act supportive and help to implement these policies

my emperor, you show your wisdom , long live my emperor

Minister Fan

Noble consort

is there anything I can do for you, noble consort

I know that you are busy at work

I will not be wordy

today, i have one business to discuss

and hope to get a favor from Minister Fan

I would like to serve you for things I am capable to

this business, requires no time from Minister Fan, you only asking you to,

not to intervene

then, what is the business you are talking about?

I have a brother, called Zhang Gui

I always hope that

he can have a proper job

so that he can serve the government one day

however, he is now wasting his time at home

hasn't got a proper job

then what official posts do you wish him to get?

Minister

what do you think of ... Xuanwei Shi

I understand

although Xuanwei Shi is not an important post

however, I can not make the decision I have to get the permission from the emperor

I will remember this

what is the meaning of you, Minister Fan?

noble consort, you will soon know

excuse me my highness,

is everyone equal under the reform?

without a doubt

is the reform to be implemented synchronously between royal family and the citizens?

without a doubt

then, shall my highness, you, lead the implementation?

Fan Zhongyan

what is the problem with you today?

my highness, please ask the noble consort

Noble Consort Zhang? what's the matter with her?

she wants to give her brother, the position of Xuanwei Shi

my highness, shall I pretend I don't know about this?

Xuanwei Shi is just a tiny post

my minister, you don't have to worry so much

Xuanwei Shi is not an important post

however, I am promoting this reform, trying to improve human resource system

if I give this Xuanwei Shi post to Noble Consort today as an exception

there will be people asking for a Yuanwai Lang post

don't my highness you know, lower rank people will learn from higher rank Ministers' behavior ?

ants are small, but they can shake a sky-high tree?

Fan Zhongyan, YOU!

unbridled！

my highness. quick, prepare me some hot bath water

what is the matter, my highness

someone spitted me and I am covered in saliva

hurry up to prepare the hot bath

yes

who is so brave

spitted on you my highness

who else can it be apart from Fan Zhongyan?

he told me that you were about to give Zhang Gui a Xuanwei Shi post

my highness

I thought, Xuanwei Shi is just a

tiny rank 9 official post

don't you know that Fan Zhongyan is promoting this reform? you asked to be disgraced, making me embarrassed as well

my beloved consort, is leading to destroy the reform

where is the credibility of the reform?

my highness, I was messed up

for your reform, I should
