NOVEL NEXT Chapter 199
After finishing his martial arts training, Zhang Fu took a short break and then immediately called together his think tank members: Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Yao Guangxiao, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and Changsun Wuji to discuss the reward.
Originally, Zhang Fu planned to handle the matter alone, but now he has a lot of talents under his command, which can be called the founding team.
Therefore, he thought it would be more appropriate to discuss together, so as to ensure that there would be no mistakes in the reward process.
"Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted in unison.
Zhang Fu smiled and said: "No need to be polite, everyone please sit down." Seeing these people in front of him so polite, Zhang Fu felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially Guo Jia, the prodigal son, also behaved so reservedly, which made Zhang Fu sigh in his heart and no longer think about it.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After receiving the order, they sat down one by one.
Cheng Yu sat in the front, and Changsun Wuji sat at the back.
This was not Zhang Fu's special arrangement, but the result of their own tacit consent. Cheng Yu joined the earliest and made great contributions, while Changsun Wuji did not make much contribution at present, so they were automatically arranged in order.
"The reason why I summoned you here today is to confirm the reward ceremony the day after tomorrow. I feel that the policy of the Han Dynasty is a bit inappropriate, so I want to change it!" Zhang Fu sat on the dragon throne, his eyes swept across the civil and military officials below, and said in a low voice.
His eyes were firm and deep, as if he was thinking about something important.
The hall was quiet, and everyone was quietly waiting for his next words.
"But how to change it specifically, let's discuss it together. We must come up with a charter today and tomorrow!" Zhang Fu spoke again, with a hint of majesty in his tone.
He knew that this reward ceremony was of vital importance to the country, not only related to the stability of the court, but also to the future development of the entire country.
Therefore, he hoped to formulate a set of reasonable policies through this meeting to ensure the prosperity of the country.
Everyone looked at each other and understood Zhang Fu's intention.
They knew that this meeting would have a profound impact on the country and everyone needed to take it seriously.
At this time, Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang stood up, and the two of them respectfully bowed to Zhang Fu, and then began to talk about the three-province and six-department system they had discussed together.
"Your Majesty, I think that the three-province and six-department system should be adopted in today's world." Liu Bowen spoke first.
His voice was clear and powerful, full of confidence. Then, he introduced the specific content of the three-province six-department system in detail: "The three provinces are the Secretariat, the Ministry of Palace Affairs, and the Ministry of State Affairs, which are responsible for decision-making, deliberation, and execution respectively."
"The six ministries are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Works, each with its own duties and clear division of labor..."
Li Shanchang then added: "This system can make the government clear, officials perform their duties, avoid abuse of power, and improve administrative efficiency. At the same time, it is also conducive to selecting talents and cultivating the ability and quality of officials."
"Do you have any other opinions?" Zhang Fu finally asked after Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang finished speaking.
For a time, the imperial study was silent.
After a moment of silence, Yao Guangxiao stood up and said to Zhang Fu respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think that although the system of three provinces and six ministries is good, it also has shortcomings, such as the mutual supervision and checks and balances between the three provinces may lead to instability and infighting within the political arena."
"And the complex decision-making and execution process may lead to slow policy implementation, especially in emergency situations, such as easily causing infighting and resulting in low efficiency!"
As soon as Yao Guangxiao said this, Li Shanchang was silent. This system was led by him, and Liu Bowen only supplemented some defects, and the two of them knew this shortcoming, but for now this is definitely the best official system.
"Your Majesty, I think that two of the three provinces can be eliminated, and only the Secretariat can be retained. The Secretariat can set up the position of left and right prime ministers to be responsible for the overall leadership of the Secretariat!"
Changsun Wuji stood up from the back and walked to the middle to speak. This was also the solution he came up with temporarily in this short time.
Liu Bowen frowned and said, "But if this is the case, it will be easy for powerful ministers to threaten the imperial power!"
"In fact, there is a solution. Now the Bad People are all over the world. They are responsible for monitoring the local areas. But if this method is used, I suggest establishing an organization dedicated to watching the civil and military officials!"
"And this organization, like the Bad People, only obeys the king. This is equivalent to hanging a knife over the heads of civil and military officials. I believe that even if a powerful minister appears, the king of the future can use this knife to deal with the powerful minister!"
"At the same time, the Bad People and this organization can also supervise each other.To prevent one of them from becoming dominant and killing innocent people!" Cheng Yu stood up with a smile and told his idea.
When these words came out, Li Shanchang, Zhangsun Wuji, Liu Bowen, and Xi Zhicai were all shocked, only Yao Guangxiao, Jia Xu, and Guo Jia were calm.
"Well, let's settle this matter. When you go back, write down the specific content and give it to me!" Zhang Fu said with a smile.
At the same time, Zhang Fu thought to himself: "It has to be Cheng Yu, who is cruel enough to himself!"
Isn't this the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty? Now that Cheng Yu has mentioned it, he can set it up, but who should be used as the commander of the Jinyiwei? People from the Bad People are definitely not suitable, otherwise they will not be able to be independent.
"Yes, my king! "Everyone agreed and got up and left.
......
After Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Yao Guangxiao, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and Zhangsun Wuji left, they all gathered in Cheng Yu's house and started to discuss.
Finally, after two hours of discussion, the official system was finally determined, including the Secretariat, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Works, the Censorate, the Tongzhengsi, the Dali Temple, the Taichang Temple, the Guanglu Temple, the Taipu Temple, and the Honglu Temple.
The local official system still retains the posts of governor, county governor, and county magistrate.
The military officer system also roughly retains the generals of the Han Dynasty. , General of Cavalry, General of Chariots and Cavalry, General of Guards, Generals of Front, Back, Left and Right, Generals of Four Expeditions, Generals of Four Towns, Generals of Four Peace, Generals of Four Peace and Generals of Miscellaneous Titles, etc.
The highest military position in the army is the Grand Commander-in-Chief, followed by the Left and Right Commanders-in-Chief, while military officers and military positions can be held at the same time.
The title system was changed to Duke, Marquis, and Earl, and it was also marked that no one could be granted a title without great merit. Later, Guo Jia and the other eight people signed their names.
Zhang Fu looked at the final result and nodded. In fact, the main thing he wanted to change was the official system. As for the others, they could be kept temporarily and a new system would be thoroughly updated after he unified the world.
