That night, Yuan Xi summoned Tian Feng, Han Yan, and Zhuge Liang, three important ministers of Shangshutai, in the Huagai Palace.

"The king, there are two hundred boatmen, and all of them have been assembled," Zhuge Liang reported.

"Okay, send them to Chenhan quickly," Yuan Xi said with satisfaction.

"No!"

"I came to you today, in addition to the matter of the boatmen, there is another thing, which is passed back from Taiyuan, some suggestions on the norms of government service, which are written by Zhang Jing, the lieutenant of Taiyuan County" Yuan Xi handed a bamboo slip on the table to Tian Feng.

After Tian Feng finished reading the six major rules of the official servants, he was suddenly surprised: "King, who is this Zhang Junwei, these six articles seem simple, but they do completely standardize the responsibilities of the official who need to travel, it's not simple!" ”

"Haha, it's not a big talent, he's a lonely veteran, he used to be a captain of the second battalion of the Iron Guard, because he accidentally injured his eye, he couldn't ride a horse, so he retired early, was arranged to Taiyuan, and became a county lieutenant" Yuan Xi smiled.

"The county lieutenant is too aggrieved, he can at least be a lieutenant," Han Yan said with a sigh after reading it.

Zhuge Liang was the last to look at it, and after smiling lightly, he held the bamboo slip, nodded and appreciated: "Captain Zhang, it is to use some of the norms of the military camp, the first step in the entry of my Dayan's army, it is also an oath, allegiance to the king, loyalty to Dayan, but the king has a lot of soldiers, but to be able to learn from Zhang Junwei, such a live and practical use, and even have their own experience, there are indeed very few, and they should indeed be rewarded."

"Lone has already decreed, a reward of thousands of gold, silk, and directly promoted to the rank of captain, which can be regarded as paving the way for Chen Ji, Chang Lin is old, and it is not very suitable" Yuan Xi said solemnly, back then he still needed to use Chang Lin to stabilize the situation and merge the state, but now the entire Dayan has been completely in his hands, and even Gao Gan received the position of a marquis, and began to slowly retreat, this is not Yuan Xi crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, but the formation of the six major legions, as well as the division of civil and military affairs, let Gao Gan know that the current governor is completely incomparable with the previous assassin history, Instead of being afraid of other people's calculations every day, it is better to enjoy it with peace of mind.

And Yuan Xi didn't force it, after all, the ability of high-ranking cadres is like this, but for such an interesting cousin, Yuan Xi will naturally not be stingy, and directly seal the marquis, thousands of households, and countless money rewards, so that he can prosper for a lifetime.

And if Chang Lin had the ability, he wouldn't say anything, but Chang Lin was too conservative, followed the ancient system, greedy for stability, and had no spirit of change, so let him be a governor for two years, and it was almost time to retire.

"The king is wise, but Chang Lin also has merit after all, and he can't be dismissed at will, so it's better to rise and descend secretly, and give him a comfortable old age, which can be regarded as giving Pingyang Hou a face" Tian Feng hugged his fist, Pingyang Hou is really a high-ranking candidate.

"Okay, after this matter is discussed by Shang Shutai, report it to Lone" Yuan Xi nodded.

"No!"

"Chang Lin doesn't talk about things, let's go back to the issue of the servants, Lone has said a long time ago, the civil and military are separated, but the army must also be distinguished, the regular army cannot be mixed with any local administration, so the government is the first layer of protection for the people, as long as this layer is done well, the people can live a stable life, and the people are stable, Dayan can live forever" Yuan Xi said solemnly.

"What the king said is very true, Shang Shutai has been discussing this matter," Han Yan agreed.

"In fact, there is no good management of the government service at present, mainly because there is no complete reward and punishment system, the government service in various places, are recruited by the prefectures, counties, and counties, and the top of the sky is a government captain, and the government captain is also subject to the governor, many government officials even if they struggle for a lifetime, but also only the government service, lack of goals, lack of motivation, just say Zhang Jing this, although it is very good, but once the time passes, the officials will also begin to get tired of this kind of action that only pays, no return, so the minister thinks that the most important thing at present is to separate the government service, Set up a separate department and send people to manage it, either under Shangshutai or under the Privy Council," Tian Feng said carefully one by one.

"Zuo Xiang said in a word, this is really the problem, but there is also a trouble here, that is, if the government officials are included under Shangshutai, then their case money needs to be funded by the state treasury, my Dayan's current counties are calculated in hundreds, if it is completely rolled out, the cost required is too huge, and the world is not unified at present, if it is offended, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the army and the government officials cannot take care of both, then the gains outweigh the losses" Zhuge Liang said with some concern.

"Zipei, how is the state of the treasury?" Yuan Xi immediately asked seriously.

"The king, the money of the treasury currently mainly comes from the field tax, commercial tax, and colonial income, of which the commercial tax and the colony are the largest contributors, all of which were created by the king, and its income is ten times that of Cao Cao in the Central Plains, six times that of Yizhou in Xishu, and five times that of Jingzhou, which can be said to be very sufficient, but although my Dayan has a lot of income, but the stall is also large, just the six major legions, nearly 700,000 troops, it consumes a lot, and various policies are also like flowing water. That will indeed enter what Kong Ming said, and there will be a lot of problems," Han Yan frowned.

Yuan Xi's face froze, and he said, "Then there is no other way to increase income?" ”

"Your Majesty, if you want to increase fiscal revenue, one is to raise taxes, and the other is to change the law," Zhuge Liang said solemnly.

"It is absolutely impossible to raise taxes, it will make the people who originally lived and worked in peace and contentment, and had infinite respect for the king, not hide it," Tian Feng hurriedly said.

"As for changing the law, it's not time yet, although the Juntian Fuguo Law has been perfected, it is a foundation for the scholars to deprive them, so we must wait for the unification of the world," Han Yan said.

"Haha, a baht is hard to beat a hero, this matter will be put on hold for the time being!" Hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled bitterly.

"Nuo" Tian Feng and the three of them immediately responded.

Looking at Yuan Xi, who looked a little helpless, Tian Feng smiled and comforted: "The king doesn't have to worry, all this is because there is no unity in the world, just wait for the unification of the world, many things can be implemented, and my Dayan will inevitably be extremely prosperous and the treasury will be sufficient."

"Really, the reason why many policies cannot be implemented is because I am afraid of arousing the fear of the scholars everywhere and hindering the pace of my Dayan unification," Han Yan nodded.

"Aren't you, my lord, going across the sea to fight the Japanese? Maybe from the hands of this country, you can also get a comparison," Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

"Forget it, forget it, how much can the country of Wa be, I want to eat fat in one breath, and get all aspects done, that's Wang Mang, lonely is not Wang Mang, step by step, one day my Dayan will definitely become completely strong" Yuan Xi said confidently.

"The king is wise," the three of them admired.

"After a while, it is estimated that Xiliang's send-off team will come, Zuo Xiang, you will take the cow, command Shenwei, and the second army of Yulin will greet you," Yuan Xi instructed.

"No!"

"King, hussar general urgent" Zheng Chun ran in and reported.

"Brother Ping" Yuan Xi was surprised and said, "Bring it quickly"

"No!" Zheng Chun hurriedly handed over a bamboo slip.

Yuan Xi took it, and after opening it and taking a look, his face was shocked, and his face instantly showed a trace of shame.
