Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 467 Reform of the Official System (Two in One)

"How to find the location of Beihu king's tent?"

Liu De asked the generals for advice.

Wei Qing replied: "You can send caravans deep into the grasslands to sell tea, cloth, and porcelain in exchange for Hu people's furs, war horses, and medicinal materials, and secretly find out where the Hu people's royal court is!"

"There are not many powerful families colluding with the barbarians. On the contrary, there are many merchants, big and small, who take risks. However, it is impossible to know whether there are powerful families behind these traders!" Bai Qi added.

Zhang Fang said to Liu De: "My lord, with the dilapidation of Beizhou, the Great Wall has already been damaged in many places. If you want to stop these daring merchants, you can't do it without heavy troops!"

"But if merchants are allowed to come and go freely, and weapons and technology are circulated in the past, it will do a lot of harm to our Great Zhou!" Gongsun He raised his objection.

After all, he served as the prime minister in the original time and space. Although he didn't have much political achievements, Gongsun He always had a vision.

"Let go of the merchants rashly, will it arouse the suspicion of the barbarians?"

"It doesn't matter, the current Beizhou is almost full of loopholes, and we can only send troops to defend a few key points. It is not realistic to completely intercept the merchants." Wei Qing shook his head.

Liu De thought for a while, and then said to the generals: "In this case, we should increase the punishment for smuggling merchants on the surface, but secretly select merchants who are loyal to the big man, or directly send people to plant eyeliners among the merchants, and secretly investigate Beihu royal court. The location, I hope to find the Beihu Royal Court in two to three years, and I will send generals to lead the Beizhou soldiers and horses, to prepare troops and horses, and when the time comes, I will send troops to attack Hu!"

"I'm waiting for orders!"

All the generals shouted in unison.

Liu De nodded, the generals were full of vigor, and it was not a dream to kill Beihu.

But Donghu and Linhu also need a general who is good at fighting. Although Liu Gui has enough qualifications, he lacks commanding ability and lacks resourcefulness. State political affairs, serve as the military adviser of the first army!
"Dai Zong, your guard department will be responsible for the merchants!" Liu De continued to order.

The Arch Guard Department was originally established by Liu De to collect information, and the members of the Arch Guard Department are good at disguising, detecting, and assassinating, so it is appropriate to entrust them.

Dai Zong rushed out of the queue, clasped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders!"

When the generals went down, the guard hurriedly came to report, "My lord, Xiang Yang, the former governor of Changge County, has arrived outside the mansion!"

"It came pretty fast!"

Liu De secretly said, and told the guards: "Send people to invite Chen Gong, Xun Changshi, Xu Junshi, Jian Taishou, and arrange a banquet. I want to entertain this Yang Taishou."

"Yes!"

The guards led Yang Xiang and his wife and daughter to the hall, and seated them. Yang Xiang looked at the magnificent hall, and said to his wife: "Peking is indeed the largest city in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is far from the small city of Changge. comparable."

Mrs. Yang whispered to Yang Xiang: "Master, what do you think Han Gong means?"

Yang Xiang pinched his mustache and said to Mrs. Yang quite complacently: "Looking at Duke Han's posture, he must be entertaining our family. It seems that although our government has lost the post of prefect of Changge, Duke Han will definitely pay back twice as much. , This is a good thing, a great thing!"

Then Yang Xiang glanced at his daughter again and said: "Yuhuan, you are good at singing and dancing, and when Duke Han comes over, you must dance a song for him, do you understand?"

Yang Yuhuan Ping Ting is graceful, with a plump figure, flushed cheeks, and a soft, pleasant voice.

He bowed to Yang Xiang and said, "My child knows!"

Soon, Liu De brought Chen Shuo and others to the palace.

Yang Xiang hurriedly led his wife and daughter to kneel down and said: "Craftsman Yang Xiang kowtows to Han Gong!"

Yang Xiang was deprived of his position as the prefect of Changge, so he could only call himself a grassroots man.

But Liu De still specially honored him as the prefect.

"Prefect Yang, get up quickly!"

Liu De took a step forward, helped Yang Xiang up, stretched out his hand and said, "Prefect Yang, don't be strict, hurry up, please take a seat!"

"The grass people are bothering you!"

Yang Xiang smiled and cupped his hands.

Liu De introduced the ministers behind him one by one for Yang Xiang. Yang Xiang, Chen Shuo and others saluted each other, and then sat down. , Yuhuan, the daughter of Caomin, is proficient in melody, good at singing and dancing, and is best at playing the pipa, so I ask Your Highness Enzhun to sing and dance for His Highness."

Liu De had long noticed that the woman next to Mrs. Yang had a plump body, snow-white skin, smooth as fat, and a thousand charms. She was indeed a rare national beauty. The emperor, it is really possible to bow down under Yang Yuhuan's skirt.

Yang Yuhuan's voice was soft, and she bowed softly: "The daughter of the people, Yang Yuhuan, pays homage to His Royal Highness Han, and wishes that His Royal Highness will put an end to the disaster and build a peaceful and prosperous world as soon as possible."

"Miss Yang, please get up!"

Liu Dedao: "Since Miss Yang is good at the pipa, how about playing a piece for me and a few ministers?"

"The daughter of the people takes orders!"

Yang Yuhuan was giving a salute.

Yang Yuhuan took the pipa handed over by the guards, her posture was correct, her jade fingers slowly plucked the silk strings, her vermilion lips parted lightly, her voice was melodious and melodious, as beautiful and refreshing as a trickling spring at first, then Liu De actually felt a sense of urgency from the sound of the pipa. The killing spirit is high and contagious.

Even Chen Shuo, Xun Yu, and Xu Shu, the three very stable ministers, pricked up their ears, listened carefully, stroked their palms, and praised secretly.

Jian Yong was even more unbearable, shaking his head and dancing, apparently forgetting that he was an important minister of the country.

And Yang Xiang and Mrs. Yang looked at the expressions of the people in the palace, and they were secretly proud that their daughter's music and dance were the sharp weapons to conquer the Duke of Han.

Song strike.

It took a long time for Liu De and the four ministers to wake up from the melodious sound of the pipa. Liu De clapped his hands and praised: "Good song, good song, melodious and majestic, it is really a good song! But this I have never heard this song before, could it be that Miss Yang composed it herself?"

"It was the Minnv who composed it for the Duke of Han. The name of this song is "The Song of Duke Han Breaking the Array."

Yang Yuhuan said softly.

"Han Gong Breaking the Battle"

Liu De didn't speak, but he obviously liked the name very much.

At this time, Jian Yong said in front of the mountain: "My lord, Miss Yang's "Han Gong Breaks the Battle" is really memorable. Why don't you spread this song to the three states, teach it to the three armies, and consider it a national music!"

"Good! Just follow what Jian prefect said!"

"Minister, thank you Your Highness!"

Liu De looked at Yang Yuhuan, who bowed his head and knelt in thanks, and his exquisite figure could be seen at a glance. Liu De used special skills to check the attributes of Yang Yuhuan and his father Yang Xiang:

After the banquet, Yang Yuhuan was sent to Hangong's mansion.

In the afternoon, Liu De summoned Chen Shuo, Xun Yu, Xu Shu, Jian Yong, Gao Lin, Gao Xun, Baili Xi, Mi Zhu, Xu Guangqi and other ministers, as well as Zhang Tianlang, Bai Qi, Guan Yu, Yannan and other generals. , The discussion this time is about the reform of the official system.

And the few Liu De summoned are basically his central team (after the ceremony, Xu Shu will go to Yanzhou to serve as the state shepherd, Gao Lin will serve as the north state governor, but it will take a few years for the two to meet each other. transferred back to the central government to hold important positions), as well as these generals headed by the military.

All the ministers in the hall sat in their seats and waited for Liu De's arrival. Because of Liu De's future, the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.

"I don't know how my lord wants to reform the official system?" Gao Yan asked Gao Lin in a low voice, "My brother thinks that the official military system of the Great Zhou has been implemented for more than two hundred years without any flaws. Is it inappropriate to change it rashly?"

Gao Lin shook his head and said, "The lord must have his own opinion, but the official system is a matter of great importance. If there is a mistake, it will be a fatal blow to the entire Han country. Therefore, if there is a problem with the official system, we will do our best to offend the lord. Bring it up!"

Gao Yan nodded.

The four military generals Zhang Tianlang, Bai Qi, Guan Yu, and Yannan all have their own considerations. The military has the highest official position, that is, there are five people in the fifth rank. Only Liu Gui is in Yanzhou, and four of them are from Yanzhou. Dongyu faction.

Only Xu Shu, who had discussed the official system and military system with Liu De, didn't have too many ideas. Only he knew how amazing the reform plan formulated by the lord himself was.

"Duke Han is here!"

Liu De strode into the hall, Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed Liu De, standing on both sides of Liu De like two door gods.

"Everyone!"

Liu Delang said: "I called all the officials and workers here this afternoon to discuss the reform of the official system and the military system. I call the official system that has been implemented for more than a hundred years on the New Year's Eve. It is undeniable that the three officials and nine ministers The system played a very important role in maintaining the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there are still flaws in it, that is, unclear responsibilities, unclear division of labor, excessive power, and too chaotic, especially because the country has a large population. Grasp the grassroots trends of the country in detail, and the local power will grow bigger!"

"Of course, the system of Sangong and Jiuqing has been implemented in Dazhou for 200 years. It is reasonable. I have also borrowed from it and formulated our own unique official system."

"Dianwei, distribute the things I entrusted to you!"

Liu De finally ordered Dian Wei.

Dian Wei handed over the silk scriptures to all the ministers in the palace, and the ministers didn't care about other things, they hurriedly checked it carefully, and they were all shocked when they saw it.

Liu De looked at the officials in the palace with a smile on his lips, and he was not in a hurry. After everyone had digested the content, he explained to everyone: "This is the official system and military system that I want to implement. Let's talk about the official system first."

"I divide the ranks of officials into four types, official, casual, honorary, and title."

"The position held by the official is the actual title;

Sanguan is a title that indicates the rank of officials, but it is a false title, which only represents grade, status and salary;
Honorary officer is an official title awarded to military meritorious personnel, with rank but no position.Obtaining an honorary officer can receive the same level of treatment.

I don’t need to say more about the title, it’s the same as the title of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the title is only a yearly salary, and there is no actual fiefdom. It can be hereditary, but if there is no merit, it will be reduced by one level every generation.

Except for titles, other official positions are not hereditary. "

"Scattered officials have a total of nine ranks and eighteen ranks, the highest is the first rank, and the lowest is the ninth rank."

"Officers are also ninth rank and eighteen ranks, and honorary officers are six ranks and twelve ranks. According to the system, my duke is only second rank, so there are no dukes and princes for now. Only fourth ranks and fourth ranks are set. .”

The center has six cabinets.

The cabinet is dominated by the first assistant of the cabinet, and the second assistant is the assistant. The first assistant is equivalent to the prime minister.The second assistant is the deputy prime minister.

The six ministries are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry.

【Official Department】:
In charge of the appointment and removal, examination, promotion, promotion, honor and transfer of civil officials (military officers not under the Ministry of Officials) all over the world.

【Household Department】：
In charge of financial matters such as land, household registration, taxes, and salaries across the country, that is to say, the money and food of the entire country.

[Ministry of Rituals]:
In charge of national etiquette, sacrifices, state banquets, emperor's ascension to the throne, empress, concubine canonization, prince canonization and other ceremonies, as well as vassals' dealings with foreign countries.

[Military Department]:
Take charge of the country's military, recruit recruits, select generals, formulate military strategies, recommend candidates for generals, examine military performances, manage military records, and manufacture ordnance, etc.

[Ministry of Criminal Justice]:
In charge of national criminal cases, in charge of punishment and prisons and other government orders.

【Ministry of Industry】：
In charge of national engineering affairs.

The [Double Procuratorate] is being set up to correct and impeach a hundred divisions, to discern injustice, to admirals and supervising various disciplines, and to be the division of the emperor's ears, eyes and discipline.Supervise the judicial organs and hundreds of officials.

Set up [Shangshutai] to discuss the closing and refuting of internal and external chapters.

[Dali Temple] is set up to review the cases that the Ministry of Criminal Justice is about to impose the death penalty on.

Set [Lang Zhongling] as the head of the court guards and attendants.

[Taipu Temple] is set up to be in charge of the emperor's Yuma and Mazheng.

[Guozijian] is set up to be in charge of education.Administer national school affairs and imperial examinations.

Set [Hanlin Academy] as the highest institution of learning in the Han Dynasty.

Set up [Jianwu Hall] as the highest military academy in the Han Dynasty.

Set up [Tai Hospital] to take charge of the national hospitals, responsible for training medical craftsmen and doctors, and establishing hospitals at all levels across the country.

Set up [Zhan Shifu] as an institution to assist the son.

Set up [Zong Ren Mansion] to be in charge of the clan roster of Duke Han.

When the ministers saw the official system in this silk book, they were all talking about it. When Gao Lin saw the [Zong Ren Mansion], he was horrified. My lord is preparing to become emperor in a fair and honest way!
However, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued an edict that the Duke of Han had set up a prime minister and sent down a group of officials and officials, all of which were like the system of princes and kings. It is not surprising that there are clan mansions.

Gao Lin laughed at himself, scolding himself for making such a fuss.

The four generals Zhang Tianlang, Bai Qi, Guan Yu, and Yannan paid more attention to the [Military Department], [Lecture Hall] and [Lang Zhong Ling]. A loyal minister with no ambition to crack the ground, but such an important position in the Ministry of War should not be held by civilian officials!

[Journal of Martial Arts] It says that it is the highest military academy in the Han Dynasty. Does the lord want to train military commanders based on this?

Who will serve as the sacrificial wine in the martial arts hall?

The sacrificial wine in this martial arts hall is probably equivalent to the teacher of a military officer, with a lofty and incomparable status!
[Guang Luxun] is the only military position among the civil servants. It is the chief of the palace guards and attendants. This is obviously not the meaning of the imperial guards. It seems that the lord has other deep meanings!
