Chapter 337: Chang'an of Change

Although the system of three provinces and six ministries is much better than the previous official system, Yang Hao knows very well that this is just a basic framework.

In the future, with the subdivision of the corresponding powers, the official positions will definitely become more complicated.

Fortunately, everything in Qi is now simple, and the clear and clear official system will not make most people's scalps tingle.

Although the prime ministers of the three provinces are in high power, this does not mean that these people can do whatever they want and cover the sky with one hand.

Yang Hao's royal power is a high existence that absolutely overrides the prime minister's power, and he has the right to remove the prime minister.

In addition to all the above-mentioned official positions, Yang Hao is also preparing to establish an official position independent of the three provinces.

He is called an inspector, and the officials under him are all people of low rank, but with great political power.

These people are also the so-called speech officials in later generations.

Yang Hao felt that this system was very useful, allowing officials to check and balance each other, and prevent the situation of officials joining forces to attack the royal power in the future.

The new reform of official positions has suddenly caused many vacancies in Daqi.

In addition to the position that has already been famous, the rest are all middle- and lower-level officials, staring at the existence.

If you want to sit in these official positions, it is obviously not feasible to rely on whiskers and horses.

The only thing they can count on is their records of their achievements in the Ministry of Officials over the years.

The change of the new official position lasted for almost half a year.

Many people took advantage of this opportunity to climb to the sky, and many people were demoted because of poor political performance.

The competition in the officialdom of Qi State is very cruel, those with strong ability can be in high positions, and those with weak ability can only lament.

And Zhang Xu, who has been the mayor of the town for three years, has been well educated and has managed Angu Town in an orderly manner because of his good education over the years.

In the new round of official changes, in the first month of the eighth year of Hongwu, the appointment document of the imperial court came down, and he was promoted to the county magistrate of Huaqing County, Yunzhou, and he had just turned eighteen years old this year.

In this era, men who have not started a family at the age of eighteen are extremely rare.

But Zhang Shu has been devoting all his energy to government affairs all these years, but he has delayed his own affairs.

Soon after he was promoted, Zhang Mu, who was far away in Chang'an, asked someone to send a letter to his son.

In the letter, Zhang's mother scolded him, urging him to find a good girl quickly, who could continue the bloodline for the Zhang family, and let him have time to go back to Chang'an City, and hurry up to set his lifelong events, so that he could leave some incense for the old Zhang family before he took office in a new place.

Seeing this, Zhang Shu couldn't help but show a wry smile.

The king of Qi advocated filial piety, which made Zhang Shu dare not disobey his mother's orders.

He sighed and continued to read.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

His younger sister is now a big girl on the Great Wall, and Ren Kang's boy, because of his good relationship with Zhang Yu, these two people slowly sparked.

At the beginning of the year, Ren Kang had already proposed to the Zhang family, and after Zhang's mother returned to Chang'an City in the letter, she settled the matter by the way.

This was the end of the letter, and Zhang Shu carefully put the letter away.

Although Qi has invented usable paper for several years, the popularity of the people is not high, on the one hand, due to the extremely high illiteracy rate, and on the other hand, because of the imperfection of the process, the price of paper is still very expensive.

This letter is just a few hundred words, which is a lot of money, how can Zhang Shu be willing to throw it away.

After the new mayor of Angu Town took office, Zhang Xu hurried towards Chang'an City.

Angu Town is not far from Chang'an City, but in the past three years, he has not returned home once.

Coming to Chang'an City, looking at Chang'an, which had already changed, Zhang Shu was full of emotion in his heart.

In the early spring, there are already farmers busy in the fields.

There are always people coming in and out of the city gate, and occasionally there will be some horse teams, carrying some goods, to Chang'an for sale.

Chang'an has become more prosperous than a few years ago, but Zhang Shu is a little unfamiliar.

led the old horse that had followed him for several years, and slowly walked through the city gate.

Suzaku Street, which runs westward, has long since lost its dirt road, replaced by a smooth bluestone pavement, which has been cleaned cleanly, and on both sides of this road, there are two half-leg-deep ditches.

Zhang learned that it was called a drainage canal, which was used to prevent water from flooding the road.

On both sides of Suzaku Street, many new houses have been built, and the once earth-yellow thatched houses have disappeared, and on both sides stand a series of magnificent courtyards.

On the bustling Suzaku Street, many small traders are selling their goods, but these skilled people prefer this way of selling compared to the heavy agricultural life.

Zhang Xu led the old horse along Suzaku Street with great interest, and stopped when he came to a restaurant called Yingkelou.

The clerk who greeted the guests at the door saw a young man looking this way, and when he saw this person wearing a hair crown, he knew that this person's identity was not trivial, and he hurriedly greeted him and said: "This nobleman, please inside, there is a big chef in the welcome building today, and the taste is guaranteed to be satisfactory." ”

Zhang Shu smiled and said, "How big is the big cook?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said proudly: "This chef is a person who has made imperial meals for today's king, and the nobles think it's not a big deal." ”

When Zhang heard this, he was immediately shocked and said, "The palace chef? You're not deceiving me, how can the king's imperial chef be in this folk. ”

"The nobles don't know, our welcome building is now the Imperial Forest Army Metropolitan Governor, our Metropolitan Governor is the minister of the humerus beside the king, this welcome building was built less than seven days ago, the king deployed a chef from the imperial kitchen."

Zhang Shu sighed twice and muttered, "I see." ”

"Your Excellency, please! Today, a storyteller told the story of the ancient opening of the heavens and the matter of Nuwa mending the sky, while eating delicious food and listening to stories, it was very beautiful! We will take care of your horses, so you don't need to worry. ”

Zhang Shu nodded and said, "Good! ”

The shopkeeper knotted the reins and turned sideways to make way for the aisle: "Your Excellency, please!" ”

After Zhang Shu walked into this gorgeous restaurant, before he could be shocked by the number of people in this restaurant, a loud voice sounded.

"A visitor!"

Soon, a shopkeeper dressed in coarse linen clothes greeted him and said to Zhang Xu: "Guest, the first floor is full, go up to the second floor here." ”

Follow behind this little guy. He suddenly felt as if he had returned to the time when he first saw Chang'an City ten years ago.

Zhang Shu was like a person who had never seen much of the market, and was a little cramped under the leadership of the little guy, sitting by the window.
