When Li Xuan first arrived in this era, he didn't have any ambitions, what he wanted to do most at that time was to escape from Huangzhu Mountain, and then live incognito for the rest of his life, at that time, he even hoped that he would go to that place in the south of the Yangtze River, take a look at the scenery on both sides of the Qinhuai River, and experience the gentleness of Qinhuai women, well, it is best to be free.

But as time passed, he found that his original idea was tantamount to a fool's dream, it was not easy to escape, and it was even more difficult to escape the pursuit of the government after escaping.

Later, because of Liu Bagou and Fang Dongquan, although they didn't let Li Xuan go, they were treated well in all aspects, and they didn't treat Li Xuan badly, and over time, he felt that it was actually not bad to be the emperor in this ravine.

At least in this small ravine, he is the supreme emperor, and a large number of people tout him every day that he is the holy monarch of the ages, and he has confidence after staying for a long time!

After a long time in this state, Li Xuan slowly accepted the fact that he was the emperor of the ravine, and when he called himself me on weekdays, he didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, but now you let him call himself 'I' and 'I', and he is not used to it.

Since he accepted the fate of being the emperor, Li Xuan naturally needed to consider how to establish the Tang Dynasty as a real dynasty and make the emperor sit more stable, so as not to be defeated by the Ming army and be guillotined at that time.

Before organizing and training the Guards, supporting Fang Dongquan and them to attack Jiguan Mountain, Black Tiger Village, and Huanggui Mountain, they were all some of his attempts.

But the reason why these attempts are called attempts is that they have little impact and cannot fundamentally change the child's play nature of the Tang Dynasty.

Even if the guards he trained can fight again, they are still a group of bandits, whether in their own minds or in the minds of those Ming troops outside.

Even if the people under his rule have swelled to more than 2,000 people now, more than 2,000 people regard themselves as bandits one by one, and they have no consciousness as ordinary Tang people.

And it is absolutely impossible for such a Tang Dynasty to survive for long, even if it can block the next Ming attack, but it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Ming army again and again.

And as long as the Tang Dynasty is defeated once, then it will definitely die.

Therefore, the reform of the military system is necessary, and in order to carry out the reform of the military system, Li Xuan must first promote the reform of the official system; only by having a clear hierarchy of civil and military officials can the command system of the army be established, and only after the army has a command system can it be called an army.

Today's Tang Dynasty Wang Shi is just a few bandit leaders with a group of bandits fighting blindly, and there is no scientific research on any command system at all.

For many reasons, Li Xuan must establish a complete official system!

When Li Xuan talked about the reform of the official system in the court, Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu, and Wang Wenhua were surprised, obviously they didn't expect Li Xuan to suddenly say this.

On the contrary, Fang Dongquan and Chen Butcher are a little indifferent, in their opinion, the reform of the official system is nothing more than changing everyone's official name, and the actual impact is not great.

But in the eyes of Liu Bagou and other civil officials who were born as scholars, the meaning is very different.

Immediately, Liu Bagou stood up and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, I was in a hurry when the Tang Dynasty was first established, and I failed to establish a complete official system, but now the situation is a little calmer, and my Datang has risen in strength again, and this official system is indeed going to be determined!" ”

Wang Wenhua also said: "Your Majesty is really a genius in the sky, a saint who has not been born for a thousand years, and his eyes are like torches, and he can see the shortcomings of our Datang at a glance!" ”

Qian Mengjiu looked at Wang Wenhua, his eyes showed a hint of contempt, this Wang Wenhua knew how to pat on the back, but in fact, he didn't say anything.

Immediately, he said, "I wonder what kind of official position Your Majesty wants to use?" ”

Li Xuan said: "Looking at the official system of the past dynasties is no longer suitable for my Tang Dynasty, the six departments of the three ancient provinces have already been ancient, and the six departments of the pseudo-Ming Dynasty are also lacking. ”

Hearing Li Xuan say this, Fang Dongquan and the others were still stubborn, they didn't know how to read big characters, what kind of official system did they know there, although they brought their ears at this time, they were actually almost as deaf.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand the details, there are a few words in Li Xuan's words that can still be understood, such as the 'six' of the six parts and the 'nine' of the nine parts.

Butcher Chen, who was below, immediately said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, nine to six, our official system in the Tang Dynasty is naturally better than the pseudo-Ming!" ”

Fang Dongquan on the side also said: "Yes, there are six pseudo-Ming, and our Datang will have nine, three more than them, and it depends on how arrogant the pseudo-Ming will be in the future!" ”

Huang Xueren and Cai Erhu also echoed, saying that Your Majesty is wise, how good the nine parts are, but you ask them how come the nine parts are better than the six parts?

They have one reason: nine to six!

The three civil officials next to him were all dark, and even Li Xuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair and listening to their praise, had an embarrassed look on his face.

The advantages and disadvantages of this official system can still be compared with the size of the numbers?

At this time, Liu Bagou spoke: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the nine-part system is? ”

Li Xuan took out the official regulations that had been prepared long ago and said: "The nine ministries are expanded from the six ministries, in addition to the old Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment, three new departments of agriculture, taxation, and inspection have been added. ”

"The Department of History is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, evaluation, promotion, and transfer of officials."

"The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the Five Rites, the Imperial Examination, the Indoctrination, and the Diplomatic Exchange."

"The household department is in charge of household registration and civil affairs."

"The Ministry of Engineering is in charge of engineering construction, and equipment construction."

"The Criminal Department is in charge of judicial affairs."

"The Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of agriculture, forestry and mining business."

"The Ministry of Taxation is in charge of taxation and salaries."

"The procuratorate is in charge of picketing hundreds of bureaucrats and impeaching lawlessness."

"Each ministry has a Shangshu, two left and right attendants, and each department has a division, and there are Lang Zhong."

Li Xuan simply explained the nine-part system, and he said it so simply, Liu Bagou, Wang Wenhua, and Qian Mengjiu, the three readers, immediately understood that compared with the previous six departments, the biggest change in these nine departments is that the household department is divided into three, from a large department in charge of all land, agricultural business, taxation, salaries and other affairs in the world, to a department that is only in charge of the people's internal affairs, and taxes are listed separately as the Ministry of Taxation, and agricultural business is also separately listed as the Ministry of Agriculture.

As for the inspection department, although this thing is missing a word, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Li Xuan's nine-ministry system is based on the six-ministry system of the Ming Dynasty and the cabinet system of modern countries in later generations.

This nine-part system, simply put, is a six-part system with Tang characteristics, but it is just an increase of three more, as for why three more are added, Li Xuan naturally has his own considerations, but he will not say to Liu Bagou why now.

In addition, in fact, Butcher Chen, what they said is also good, since the pseudo-Ming has six, their Tang Dynasty naturally has more than their six, and one or two more is not enough, there are three more!

Therefore, the nine parts are just right!
