"The emperor is back." Shen Xizhen smiled and saluted him.

"Well, your plan is ready?" Emperor Guangen asked with a smile.

"It's ready, please see it, Your Majesty." Shen Xizhen reached out and took his hand and sat down at the desk, and then she spread out the plan she had written.

When Emperor Guangen looked down, it was what looked like a map, with different areas marked with different colors, and each area was marked with a corresponding management department.

It seems like a lot of fun.

Emperor Guangen looked at it carefully again, and immediately sorted out its general context -- Shen Xizhen wanted to divide the entire country into several large parts, and then implement the management method of macroeconomic regulation and control.

"That's right, that's exactly what the concubine thinks." Shen Xizhen had already seen his thoughts and immediately responded.

"Because Xi is already a vast country, resources and culture are also very rich in the country, can no longer simply rely on the original set of management methods, if we want to manage each region well, we must delegate power and at the same time have checks and balances on these authorities, so the concubines tried to formulate a series of management methods according to the population, customs and customs of each region, such as Beijing, Daqing City, Wancheng, Dongding City, Liuhua City, these big cities We will divide them into first-class political regions, Equipped with the most complete management inside. ”

Emperor Guangen's face showed approval.

Shen Xizhen continued to state: "Copper City, Fengcheng City, Immortal City, Baixi City...... These cities are divided into second-level political districts, Daao Forest District, Huafang Grassland District, and Fengxian Zhai District...... It is divided into three levels of political regions...... In addition to the corresponding management departments and personnel, each district must also elect a manager, who will directly manage and report to you everything in the district in the future. I come to Beijing once a month to report. ”

The look on Emperor Guangen's face became more and more relaxed.

It would be much easier to manage it in the way she said, and the information from various regions could be fed back to him in a timely manner.

"The queen is amazing!" Emperor Guangen said sincerely.

"The emperor has won the award. This idea was actually a cue for the concubines from the modern state. Shen Xizhen replied truthfully.

"Oh? Then it seems that your ruler is more powerful than we are. ”

"This is not just the credit of the rulers, but also the continuous improvement of the experience of territorial management over thousands of years. Of course, in the end, it is indeed because of human intelligence. ”

"In this way, it seems that the person in charge of these areas has to be extremely cautious in selecting the person in charge." Emperor Guangen said solemnly.

"Yes. Your Majesty, because the responsibility of this position is very heavy, and everything is related to the people's livelihood, it is necessary to select those who are loyal and steady, talented and pure-hearted. ”

"Uh-huh. But because the power given to them is so great, I'm a little worried that they'll use their power to do bad things. ”

Emperor Guangen is a smart man, and he also thinks about things in depth and detail.

Decentralization is a double-edged sword.

But in general, there are still many benefits.

"Indeed, so the concubine can be elected every three years, and the local people will vote, and the person with the highest number of votes can succeed him."

"But there's still one thing that happens. That is, the local people, under pressure from some high-ranking officials, voted against their will for those who did not have the ability. ”

"Your Majesty, this is a good question, so we must adopt the method of secret ballot in the election, and there must be a fair person there to do justice, so that the people can vote for those they think are suitable." Shen Xizhen replied.

"Mmmm, that's a good idea." Emperor Guangen nodded in satisfaction.

Then Emperor Guangen asked Gonggong Zhang to put away her plan.

"I will discuss your plan with the ministers and think-tanks tomorrow, and rest assured, I know the benefits of this plan, so I will definitely let it be implemented smoothly." Emperor Guangen added.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! No matter how appalling the plan proposed by the concubine was, the emperor could always see the effect and support it. The concubine is deeply honored to meet a wise monarch like you. ”

She attributed his support for the plans she had proposed to the recognition and trust between the monarch and the courtier, not between husband and wife, which made him sound particularly comfortable.

The next day, in the early court, Emperor Endi put forward this plan in the court.

After hearing this, the civil and military officials all felt that this construction was really wonderful. So no one openly objected.

In the afternoon, when Emperor Guangen discussed with the members of the think tank in the Zichen Palace, no one objected, so the plan was quickly implemented.

The next three months were very busy, from the selection of the management personnel of each administrative district to the delegation of various powers, he had to personally follow up and approve them. Therefore, he was often busy until late before returning to Kunyi Palace.

Shen Xizhen saw that he was busy with affairs, so he stayed in the Zichen Hall to help as much as possible.

The auspicious day for the expansion of the palace is approaching. The people in the palace were also busy.

When it was winter, Shen Xizhen found out that she was pregnant again.

At this time, Chu Linglu was not yet a year old.

Relatives and ministers who heard the news smiled.

Everyone knows that Emperor Guangen and Empress Jiayi are very affectionate, so it is naturally not surprising that Empress Jiayi is pregnant so frequently.

However, Emperor Guangen didn't seem to be very happy.

He was worried that Shen Xizhen's body would not be able to bear it.

It's weird, but it's actually his own fault.

Who told him to sleep with her in his arms every day?

All right. Since she is pregnant, let's accept this fact, but I can't touch her until three months later, and Emperor Guangen is quite reluctant.

Shen Xizhen was quite happy, because she had promised Emperor Guangen that she would give birth to four children for him before leaving here.

It's better to fulfill the promise as soon as possible.

But then she thought of a question - what if she kept giving birth after that?

Well, this question does have a bit of a headache.

But what emperor didn't have a herd of children?

However, Emperor Guangen was only willing to have children with her, so she had a greater responsibility.

But there is nothing to worry about, there is no such thing as family planning in this dynasty, so there is no need to worry too much about this aspect.

Shen Xizhen's reaction was a bit big when she was pregnant with this child, and she kept vomiting all day long.

Emperor Guangen invited people who specialized in taking care of pregnant women to take care of her, and often arranged singing and dancing or opera performances for her.

Therefore, although Shen Xizhen was particularly uncomfortable when vomiting, he was in an excellent mood.

In the spring of the following year, Shen Xizhen passed the first trimester of pregnancy, and the fetus was stable, so she came to Zichen Hall to help. (To be continued......)
