All of you sitting in front of Liu Xun, except for a few second-generation officials, the rest have rich experience in grassroots governance, starting from small officials and climbing to the peak of power.

Experience, wisdom, physical strength, and ability are all at the last peak of human beings, which means that Xin Jiuqing can accept complicated and heavy work.

Liu Xun sat on the throne again, looked at the new Jiuqing who he had pulled up in front of him, nodded with satisfaction and said: "The country is in danger and thinks of good ministers, all of you Aiqing are my Zhou Gong, Guan Zhong, and now the state affairs are complicated, I think it is necessary to solve it, now there is a southeast civil uprising, and there is also the feat of Hexi turning Hu into Han, everything must be without rules, national affairs must not be without regulations, and not like the previous dynasty, headache and foot pain, everything should have rules!" ”

Liu Xun's words made Jiuqing who was present nod frequently, Jiuqing's work before, in addition to his daily work, was to deal with emergencies, but it was not a big deal!

Therefore, the implementation of the plan will be more efficient and more organized, which Huo Guang deeply feels, every day Huo Guang mostly deals with trivial things, and the real urgent work is overwhelming, which makes Huo Guang miserable.

"Therefore, every chief officer of Jiuqing must come up with his own department's work plan and use budget, report it to Da Si Nong, and hand it over to the prime minister for review by Da Si Nong, and then approve it by the Emperor of China!" Liu Xun continued: "The prime minister also needs to formulate a work plan for the next five years, read it out at the court meeting, for hundreds of officials to know, from today onwards, the Jiuqing meeting will be held every five days to discuss the problems encountered by the Jiuqing temples, the prime minister presided, I am in the middle of the adjustment, the results of the Jiuqing meeting will be announced in the next Shuowang Dynasty, and the functions and powers of officials also need to be re-divided and defined. ”

Liu Xun's words, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, this is the Han family has never changed, the previous Han room is more like an extensive management of the large group, the following departments are very comprehensive, but the more to the top, the looser, and even some powers are overlapping with each other, the work plan is even more non-existent, so the division of powers is also imminent.

But how to divide the powers of officials? Is it a big question? The number of staff in a yamen is the bargaining chip that determines the size of Jiuqing's rights, once the staffing is reduced, Jiuqing will be immediately marginalized in his own department, which often happens in the Han Dynasty, since he is the boss of the department, he can't even protect the interests of his subordinates, then you can only stand aside, there are many incompetent Jiuqing in the Han Dynasty who are overhead by his subordinates, and since then it has become a background board, even the prime minister is no exception, Tian Qianqiu of the previous dynasty, Yang Yi, and Shi De when Emperor Xiaowu were all exemplars, so in the political arena of the Han Dynasty, incompetence is the original sin.

Thinking of this, the ministers all carefully calculated in their hearts, and were wary of their colleagues around them. This is the first big move after the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, although everyone is new, they all want to make a good impression in front of the Son of Heaven, and they are also ready to fight for the biggest cake in this division of interests.

The most important thing is that the kind of change that will change the world will definitely leave a name in history, and for the three princes and nine kings who have reached the top of the pyramid, there is nothing more important than leaving a name in history.

Liu Xun saw that everyone was still thinking, so he didn't bother, and quietly waited for the ministers to ask.

Huo Guang saw that everyone was silent, and knew that this was waiting for his own speech, so he got up and bowed: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, non-ministers can be met, ministers are stupid, I don't know how Your Majesty divides the duties and powers of officials?" ”

Hearing Huo Guang's question, Liu Xun had already had a draft and quickly spoke: "I am ready to change the county into a province, the big county into a city, the county order to set up towns and townships, and all the officials of the half-stone are summarized into ranks, each county redivides its powers, the county order governs all matters in the county, the county is in charge of administrative taxation, the county lieutenant has jurisdiction over judicial theft, and the provinces, cities, counties, and townships are all implemented by this law. ”

When the ministers heard the words of the Son of Heaven, they were all dumbfounded, this is to change the heavens and the earth, just like the county system of Qin Shi Huang, but such a huge political reform, where will the officials be transferred?

Huo Guang also thought of the deployment of personnel, every year the Han family raised filial piety, the world can contribute less than a hundred moral gentlemen, although in the later period of Emperor Xiaowu opened Taixue, but there are only a few hundred students, and they are all closed disciples of various schools, most of them are obsessed with academics, and there are less than 500 people in the bus genus, and in Guanzhong such a huge reform of official governance, this is less than a thousand official candidates, just a drop in the bucket.

Thinking of Huo Guang, he asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, where do the official candidates come from?" ”

Liu Xun heard Huo Guang's question and said: "When I was young, I traveled to Guanzhong, and saw that the clan was strong and bullying in the township, and most of the local officials were relatives of the local heroes. And the bus department in the edict to be raised, together with the allocation, in the future, the Han up to the prime minister, down to the half stone officials are all like this! ”

Huo Guang saw that the Son of Heaven had given a solution to the problem of expanding the number of officials, so he returned to his case and slowly thought about other problems.

Seeing that Huo Guang had returned to the case, Tingwei Bingji got up and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, how are the lieutenants needed by the provinces, cities and counties selected?" ”

Liu Xun replied: "The legal lieutenants needed at all levels of the provinces, cities and counties, from the Tingwei Temple to select young and strong officials to fill the position, in the transfer of the book of the imperial history, the Legalist doctors jointly established the official school, the professor examination to admit the scholar Han Law, after the teaching is completed, in the allocation place!" ”

Just after answering the question to Bingji, Taichang Huo Yu immediately got up and asked, "Your Majesty, what aspects should be drawn in the examination questions?" Is the exam once a year or every few years? ”

Hearing this question, Liu Xun immediately cheered up and said: "The examination is to select the officials of the herdsmen, and it is to select the capable ministers and officials of the Quartet for me, so the poetry and Confucianism are supplemented, and the art of application is mainly used in the world. It can also be promoted if it is good, and dismissed if it is bad! ”
