Chapter 559: Haunting

Zhao Hao is very melancholy now, but not just because of the current slang, but because of the current system. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 When he first came to this era, he could be said to have no experience in politics, but only used his experience as a corporate executive in his previous life to use the corporate management system to run his own circle and expand his influence. At first, this method was quite convenient and efficient, which was able to maintain the normal operation of the Shuai Mansion and helped him lay the foundation for starting a business.

However, as Zhao Hao's involvement in politics deepened, especially after arriving in Qiongzhou, the situation he faced became more and more complicated, which made it difficult for the original management method to control the current situation. He had to use the power of bureaucrats such as Ying Jieyan and Jiang Xuan to control the situation. At that time, the Shuaifu was basically out of the control of the imperial court, so that Zhao Yu could not be restricted by some rules and regulations, and had a certain amount of decision-making power and discretionary power, plus he had some 'cleverness', and finally gained a foothold in Qiongzhou.

After Yashan succeeded to the throne, Zhao Yu felt powerless, in the past, you worked in the enterprise, and the management method of my money was no longer able to effectively manage the government, but fell into the whirlpool of politics. Not only is he constrained by the family law of his ancestors, but also by the elbows and challenges of the political forces of all parties, and he is also restricted by traditions and conventions, which can be said to have restrained his fists and feet, and he can no longer act arbitrarily.

In the face of such a situation, in order not to become a puppet, Zhao Yu can only strive for and consolidate power through economic means and waging war, and he also feels that he has transformed from the naïve little executive to a naked politician. For the sake of power and interests, he did not hesitate to play tricks, play conspiracy, and play right and wrong, which was really as deep as the sea when he entered the court, and Zhao Lang was a passerby from then on.

Looking at his 'degeneration' day by day, Zhao Yu began to dislike himself, and the only thing that could support his refusal to give up his position was to find a way to live for his 'brothers' who were born and died together, the goal of recovering the country was really unattainable in his opinion, and he didn't know which day it would be achieved.

Of course, this is not Zhao Hao's pessimism, but the reality is that Qiongzhou is just a small place, and it was not until modern times that it was changed to a provincial government, and the population only reached more than three million. At present, the population is less than 500,000, and it is not easy to restore the country with such a huge disparity. Thinking about the fact that his power does not reach the capital of Qiongzhou, he already feels powerless, and he will have to face millions of square kilometers of land and rule tens of millions of people in the future, and he feels even more pessimistic.

However, Zhao Yu knew that there was no turning back, so he could only go on hard, and it was not his character to give up lightly. But to make a difference, change is needed. He didn't mean that there was anything wrong with the system of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the Song Dynasty would not have lasted for three hundred years, let alone be emulated by future generations, but in his opinion, this system is definitely not suitable for the present, especially difficult to adapt to war......

Zhao Yu knows that there is a word in English called positionallybadpeople, which means that he is not a bad person, but he has done bad things in a special position. The military system of the Song Dynasty is a typical system in which laymen lead insiders, and it is simply impossible to let professional people play to their strengths. Song's weakness, if militarily speaking, is the bane planted by Zhao Kuangyin, in the special position of the emperor, his couch complex makes him a positionallybadperson. Even from the perspective of the civil system, the Song system had fatal shortcomings, and it can be said that his government organization was the 'least accomplished' in the Han, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing dynasties.

The civil service system of the Song Dynasty can be summarized as the lack of separation of responsibilities and powers. The first is the tilting of the power of the prime minister, and the Song Dynasty greatly reduced the power of the prime minister in order to ensure the absolute authority of the imperial power. The prime minister of the Song Dynasty had neither military power nor human rights, which was greatly weakened compared to the Tang Dynasty. How did such a system come out of the Tang Dynasty Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling? This is like a company run by a general manager without real power, everything needs the instructions of the boss, where is there management at all?

What is even more terrifying is that such a prime minister also has to face a counselor who specializes in "Qing Yi", a position that was responsible to the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, but directly to the emperor in the Song Dynasty. They can also be removed from office if they say the wrong thing, but generally speaking, they will have a higher reputation and a better chance of promotion. So they will always be at odds with the prime minister - otherwise how can they be called admonishers? This is an opposition organ that only makes empty arguments to the government and is not responsible, and although it is not necessarily bad, it always makes the government constrained.

Imagine how a prime minister and the government have to deal with the emperor on the one hand and the officials on the other? Compared with the decline of power and the inability of military generals to act, the local administration of the Song Dynasty was even worse. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the local officials were all military generals, and after Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a cup of wine in the early Song Dynasty, the military generals no longer led the troops, and naturally handed over the local management rights.

In this way, the former warlord only had one name, and he enjoyed the benefits of the imperial court, just like the envoy of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang festivals, and his official was still there, but he was sent by another civil official. However, this civil official has another title of central government official, and he is only temporarily in charge of the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. So strictly speaking, there were no magistrates at all in the Song Dynasty, but they were temporarily managed by officials of the central government.

Even such magistrates had to face three times more bosses than in the Tang Dynasty, including the four envoys of Shuai, Cao, Xian, and Cang, and all local income had to be handed over to the central government. Therefore, what the Song Dynasty wanted was control, the extreme control of imperial power, and under this system, it was difficult to manage resources well, and the members of this imperial organization could not have relatively equal responsibilities and rights, so that the entire organizational system could not operate effectively. So what the Song Dynasty lost was the opportunity for the revitalization of the entire dynasty, even though it had the richest country in the world at that time, the most splendid culture.

Zhao Yu clearly knew the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty system, but it also brought great trouble to himself, because he was the emperor, and the entire system was used to protect his interests, and if he carried out reforms, it would damage his own interests. However, if the status quo is maintained, it will be difficult to ensure the passage of government decrees and change the malpractice of people being superficial, which will be very detrimental to the ongoing war at present and in the future.

And Zhao Yu also knows that there is a tradition in Chinese officialdom, that is, 'if you are caught, you will die, and if you let go, you will be chaotic', and after decentralization, it will be used to the fullest, and when your position is not very stable, it is inevitable that there will be no more power ministers like Jia Nidao and Shi Miyuan. The other thing is that power is so fascinating that once you get it, you don't want to give it up, and that includes him......
