The word "tyrant" really made the eyelids of the dozens of people present jump, and even Zhao Huan felt a chill in his heart.

Everyone looked at Master Li Gang who stood up suddenly, and his originally fair face was already red from excitement.

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

careless, if it weren't for Li Gang's reminder, he might have died.

On the way to politics, I don't want to fight and kill so simply; For example, the kind of notoriety mentioned by Li Gang, some people may not be able to feel its power, but in history, they were originally dedicated to the public, but because they were splashed dirty by their opponents, they had to end up in a bleak end.

If Zhao Huan really became a "tyrant" at this time, not only will there be a lot of talent loss in the future, but when the Jin people attack the Song Dynasty, not many people will fight for the Great Song Dynasty, and even their own soldiers may betray him.

It doesn't matter what kind of person you are, what kind of reputation you have in the hearts of the public is what kind of person you are, this is public opinion warfare.

All mouths are gold!

Zhao Huan had to reconsider his next plan.

"I was negligent, thank you for the reminder! Do you have any good ideas? ”

Zhao Huan sincerely apologized.

None of the people present are ordinary people, and if they are wrong, they are wrong, and they can't be disguised and not admit it, otherwise not only will they not increase their authority, but they will make people look down on them and complain.

Sure enough, Li Gang and the others felt the sincerity of Zhao Huan's attitude, and the excitement on their faces immediately disappeared most of them, and they were replaced by a naked-hearted look.

"Your Highness! Master Zong was right just now, about half of these redundant soldiers and redundant troops are the evil results left by Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others who sold their official positions, and this half of them can ignore it, and they can even be held accountable for buying officials and offering bribes. ”

Li Gang continued:

"As for the remaining half of the people, you can send some of them to the older ones in advance, and let them keep the rest temporarily, and a batch can be brushed off in the annual official assessment, and all of them can be laid off in just four or five years."

"In addition, in order to completely solve the problem of redundant officials, the control of the entrance is also very important. The imperial court can no longer relax the imperial examination and Taixue, nor can it be arbitrarily enfacilitated by officials, only in this way can the new problem of redundant officials and redundant personnel be avoided. ”

Li Gang's words made everyone present bow slightly, although this solution was not surprising, but it was very stable and convenient, and it was of great help to stabilize the situation.

"Your Highness! The minister agreed with Lord Li's words, but the minister thought that the reason why there were so many shadow officials in the court was because the officials wanted to appease people's hearts. So, while reducing the number of shadow officials, should we also formulate new regulations and use other forms to impose rewards? ”

"That's right! The reason why it is difficult to solve the problem of redundant officials and redundant personnel is that in the past, there was a trend of pulling a trigger and moving the whole body, and its intricacies were so complicated that Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi and other famous ministers of the generation could not start. ”

"The redundancy of redundant personnel involves the interests of too many people, and if it is not properly resolved, I am afraid that the impact will be far-reaching......"

……

The more the full hall of civil and military people talked, the more excited they became, the more they said far-reaching and detailed, Zhao Huan did not disturb their very engaged state, in fact, the ministers could have such a high level of enthusiasm made him even happier.

In this way, the kung fu has been discussed for most of the day, and Zhao Huan asked people to set up a banquet in the hall in the middle of the way, and it was not until the afternoon that Zhao Huan finally made the decision:

First, by the first day of this year, all the roads will be changed to prefectures, local armies will be abolished, and a new policy will be implemented.

Second, bribery such as buying officials, jobs, and quotas seriously violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, and was even suspected of becoming a traitorous minions, and the imperial court kept the files of relevant officials and generals, and did not promise to waive their criminal responsibility; However, if they voluntarily return to their hometowns, they are exempt from accountability, and at the same time, counties and townships are responsible for supervising the words and deeds of such people.

Third, the existing officials were evaluated, and a total of 4,800 Beijing officials and local officials were selected on the basis of merit.

Fourth, each of the seven divisions of the state shall have one governor and two governors; Each county, regardless of the size of the household registration, has one person in Zhengqipinzhi County, but the number of officials is set according to the level of the county, and it shall not exceed the standard. At the same time, each county selects the best to set up a supplementary county and county officials, no officials, no positions, no money, only the qualifications of the back.

It is estimated that there will be about 3,200 official officials at the prefecture and county levels, and the other 1,600 will belong to Tokyo.

Fifth, all van armies, township soldiers, and militia groups were abolished, and only the Ninth Army was retained in the forbidden army.

In addition to the five armies, there are also 50,000 horse infantry troops of the Tianwu Army, 100,000 water troops of the Tianwei Army, 50,000 horse infantry troops of the Shenwei Army, and 50,000 infantry troops of the Dragon Guard Army guarding the outer city, inner city, imperial city and imperial palace of Tokyo.

The total maximum number of the forbidden army of the Ninth Army is 1.25 million, and the number of garrisons in peacetime is maintained at 70 percent of the full strength except in wartime, and the current total number (plus the Western Army and the forbidden troops in various places) is about 500,000.

Sixth, the Ninth Route Forbidden Army recruited 2,400 civilian officials to guide the ministries, not subject to the jurisdiction of generals at all levels, and directly under the head of the Tokyo Official Academy, Song Jiang, who was responsible for training the sergeants in various aspects such as loyalty to the country, military strategy, adherence to principles, consideration of the overall situation, daily discipline, seeking truth from facts, and preventing rebellion, and at the same time responsible for teaching cultural knowledge. However, the guidance of various departments must not interfere in the daily drills and command operations of the generals of various departments, and they are only responsible for ideological work.

Seventh, the imperial court selected outstanding officials and sent them as officials after quelling the rebellion against Tianhu, Fangla, and even Western Xia, Liao, and overseas.

Eighth, all shadow officials will be abolished, and a one-time reward will be given according to the rank.

Ninth, the abolition of vacant posts, the three divisions, scholars, and waiters are no longer fictitious positions, and all official titles, powers, and responsibilities are unified.

Tenth, those who do not obey the orders of the imperial court will be strictly investigated for their words and deeds that violate the law and law, their family property will be investigated, and those who are guilty will be severely punished.

Ten in total.
