"Official, Wei Shangshu asks to see you!" Zhang Dejun walked quickly in small steps, and as for the royal front, he bent to the end, and said.

"Hmm......" Liu Chengyou stared at the stack of thick albums in his hand, very engrossed, and just responded casually.

In the past few days, Zhang Dejun has become much more restrained, especially in front of Liu Chengyou, who was frightened by Liu Chengyou.

And taking advantage of the past few days, Zhang Dejun also had a good time to reflect on it, summed up his daily performance, and translated, that is, Zhang Dejun was a little floating. The trust of the Son of Heaven and the identity of the imperial chamberlain have made him not as low-key and humble as he was at the beginning, although he is not pampered and arrogant, but his sense of awe has always weakened.

Zhang Dejun is a very clever person, who knows current affairs, knows advance and retreat, and is good at reading, but he is still young, not yet 20 years old. But after staying by Liu Chengyou's side for a few years, he also exercised out, and in terms of internal servants, he was very popular with Liu Chengyou.

It is precisely because of this that it is rare to find a close servant who is easy to use, Liu Chengyou took the initiative to knock it, not wanting him to go crookedly, otherwise, he would have to change people.

And Zhang Dejun is obviously talented, and since then, he has been much more "stable". And Liu Chengyou, who then promoted him to the young eunuch of the inner chamberlain, served the imperial front while also being in charge of the internal affairs of the palace.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, in order to buy people's hearts and stabilize the situation, recruit rebels, and seal the inside and outside. Eating more or less imperial grain inside and outside is a big burden on the country's finances, and Liu Chengyou is already starting to reduce it.

In the Han Palace, all kinds of official offices and institutions are very unsound. When Liu Chengyou was frugal for two years, he also took the initiative to reduce the number of people in the inner prisons. But such a situation cannot be like this for a long time, otherwise the majesty of the royal family will not be able to be demonstrated, and there is already a table in the imperial history, so that Liu Chengyou can enrich the inner palace and make it whole.

Liu Chengyou also has a similar idea, before comprehensively sorting out the foreign dynasties, first regulate the divisions, bureaus, and envoys in the imperial city, and his own "family affairs" are also more convenient to operate. The appointment of Zhang Dejun can be regarded as a start.

And although he was promoted and raised, Zhang Dejun became more cautious, and he served more and more attentively.

At this time, Liu Chengyou was reviewing the financial and tax calculations of the three divisions, and the situation was above Liu Chengyou's expectations. After two years of recuperation and the development of production, in terms of taxation, the imperial court finally reluctantly got rid of the "constraints", although it was far from being rich, but it was enough to support the army, officials, the institutions of the government offices, border defense, and the necessary construction of rivers and canals.

For the remote and impoverished border Zhou, as well as the support of the border fortress card, due to the boycott of the army, a large part of it was also missing. In the first two years, Hebei, which was a gold-swallowing beast, also gradually became self-sufficient, and there were still disasters in the third year of Qianyou, especially floods, but they were also within the controllable range, and they were much more stable than the many disasters and difficulties in the second year of Qianyou.

The local festival town has basically resumed the supply to Tokyo, and the import of the annual harvest has been gathered one after another. The prefectures directly under the imperial court, as well as the town of Kinkikata, due to the removal of customs duties, caused merchants to come and go, and the income from commercial taxes increased significantly.

Of course, for the Han court, just going to destroy the Buddha in the past year is completely fat. In addition to the long-term benefits of long-term calculations such as land and population, more than half of the military money and food for the levy can be reduced.

But seeing the comfortable smile on the corner of the emperor's mouth, Zhang Dejun called again: "Official! ”

"Huh?" Liu Chengyou finally raised his head.

"Qi Qi official's family, the secretary of the military department asks for a meeting for Wei Shangshu, and he will wait for the edict." Zhang Dejun was humble and respectful.

Liu Chengyou withdrew his attention from the financial plan and ordered: "Xuan! ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Dejun slowly retreated, ten steps away, quickly turned around, and walked gently towards the outside of the hall. A set of actions that highlight a prudence. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but call him.

"What else does the official family command?" Zhang Dejun turned around and asked.

Liu Chengyou looked him up and down a few times, smiled slightly, and said softly, "Am I terrible?" ”

Carefully raised his eyelids, quickly buried his head, and stood in an awe-inspiring posture: "The majesty of the official family is flourishing, and the small body and mind are intimidated, and they dare not look sideways!" ”

Liu Chengyou smiled, then smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Let Wei Renpu come to see me!" ”

When Wei Renpu was introduced into the hall, he also looked at Zhang Dejun with some surprise, but he didn't care.

Holding a recital book in his hand, he saluted before the royal court.

"How is the progress of the review of the functions and powers of the Ministry of War and the Privy Council?" Liu Chengyou asked directly.

"Back to Your Majesty! The functions and powers of the departments and institutions of the Central Government Office are clear, and the presiding officers, foreign officials and officials, ministers and subordinates have all been completed. Wei Renpu handed over the album in his hand: "The minister has already heard the table, and there is another deputy list of official transfers, please review it for Your Majesty!" If there is no discussion, you should be in the ministry! ”

"Wei Qing is doing things, I am naturally relieved!" Liu Chengyou's mouth showed affirmation and praise for Wei Renpu's ability, and while reading, he asked, "How is the Privy Council?" ”

Wei Renpu said: "The officials, registers, and plates involved in the transfer of functions and powers have been transferred to the Ministry of War. Now, the Tokyo Military Department and the Privy Council have finished the matter, and they only need to guard the traffic with the internal and external forbidden armies, the provincial and state capitals of the world, and the towns and towns, so that the orders will be issued, and the local ministries will be their own divisions! ”

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou nodded, looking very satisfied, and said: "Wei Qingguo is a minister, there are a lot of things, but in a month's time, everything is organized, so that the restructuring is so smooth!" ”

"Your Majesty, this is not the work of one minister, the Privy Council and the upper and lower officials of the Ministry of War are actively cooperating and serving this matter!" Wei Renpu is still humble.

However, from his tone, Liu Chengyou heard something, a hint. Why is the privy reform so smooth, and why the upper and lower officials are so cooperative, behind which represents Guo Wei's cooperation.

Liu Chengyou, you have to accept Guo Wei's affection, otherwise it will definitely not be so easy. But it is precisely because of this that the necessity of decentralization and reform is proven.

Just imagine, if Guo Wei does not cooperate, or even secretly makes a stumbling block, how much trouble it will cause to Liu Chengyou, and once things go wrong, it will also have an impact on the prestige of him, the emperor. Even though, Guo Wei made a "weak" choice.

"What about Guo Shumi? Still recuperating? Liu Chengyou asked knowingly.

"Exactly!" Wei Renpu said: "Since Xing Gong patrolled the border and returned to the court, he has not performed the official office of the Privy Council, and during this time, the minister's energy has been focused on the military department, and on the Privy Council side, only Zheng Renzhi has assisted him in the post of undertaking the order. This is not a long-term solution, the Privy Council is upheld, and the principal is needed after all! ”

Hearing Wei Renpu's exhortation, Liu Chengyou said directly: "Since Guo Qing's illness has not recovered yet, let him rest in the mansion for a while." As for the Privy Council, Zheng Renzhi is the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and he has the right to do the affairs of the Privy Council! ”

"Yes!" It can be seen that the emperor has a plan, and Wei Renpu has no intention of continuing to talk more on this matter.

"Plus!" Liu Chengyou's tone was a little more serious: "The privy reform has reached a critical period, so in order to avoid the initial establishment of the structure, the transfer of military aircraft has fallen into chaos. From today onwards, the two Sima infantry forbidden armies inside and outside Tokyo, and all armies with more than one team are strictly prohibited from being mobilized without the Golden Order, the Imperial Decree and the Privy Council, and those who move troops without the three orders will be dealt with as a rebellion! ”

Hearing this, Wei Renpu was slightly shocked in his heart, raised his eyes and looked, only to see that the Son of Heaven was full of calm. Only then did I understand that the decentralization and reform of the Privy Council was only on the surface, and the military department was probably just a cover on the table, and strengthening the emperor's control over the army was the real purpose of the Son of Heaven.
