Chapter 774: Reform of the Bureaucratic System

Overall, this technique inspired by Fubi's letter is not without gains, at least in the production of woodwork, the harvest is not small, the most distinctive of which is the longbow and arrows, these are basically wooden structures, with such a division of labor, the efficiency can be improved a lot, and the most important thing is that the difficulty of manufacturing is reduced.

A workpiece, he does not necessarily have to make every step of the craftsman, through classification, so that the craftsmanship is exquisite, do the most core, irreplaceable parts, the rest, can use a large number of other workers, so that the difficulty is reduced, even if the efficiency is still not very high, as long as the difficulty is reduced, for the wood workshop, it is also an increase in efficiency.

After a short period of combination, the production capacity of the carpentry workshop has increased by 5 times, and the efficiency has increased slightly, but the production cost has decreased, and I am a little worried that I will not be able to complete the ordnance task issued by the Privy Council, and I have also overfulfilled it, which is also a very good improvement.

In addition to the carpentry workshop, the improvement of other projects is limited, in the attention from top to bottom, especially Han Qi personally sat down, but also explored some things, the effect is good and bad, the good promotion has improved a lot, and the bad places are not used at most.

Overall, after later calculations, this was applied to the factories of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and the final efficiency improvement was about half percent, which was converted into income, which almost increased the annual income of the Northern Song Dynasty by 800 to 10 million yuan.

This is not a small improvement, but for the Northern Song Dynasty, the impact is not big, the Northern Song Dynasty has experienced rapid growth before, the total amount is already quite large, in the face of more than 100 million annual income, an increase of eight or nine hundred, the effect is not obvious.

In the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the factory system began to adjust, using assembly lines, or similar methods to reform the production process and improve production efficiency, another investigation led by Han Qi also had the final results.

In the letter, Fu Bi specifically mentioned the issue of salary level, which attracted Han Qi's attention, and made a systematic investigation, and the final investigation results surprised Han Qi very much, and most of the later focus was on this matter.

Speaking of the Northern Song Dynasty's Yulu, we have to mention the official system of the Song Dynasty, which is complementary to each other, the official system represents the number of Yulu, and the structure of this pyramid is very obvious.

The official system of the Northern Song Dynasty was not deliberately created at the beginning, and it still followed the set of the five dynasties of the late Tang Dynasty. When there are new problems, they go to tinker, and when they arrive in the Renzong Dynasty, they are already quite chaotic, and when they are counted, all kinds of problems are shocking.

As a result of this confusion, there is a lot of uncertainty in the distribution of money, that is, there are many ways to distribute the same grade, which are different in different functions, let alone different units.

Before the fifth year of Qingli, this method of distribution was no problem, because the finances of the entire Northern Song Dynasty were tight, no matter which way, it was according to the lowest, and in this case, it was relatively stable.

Since the fifth year of Qingli, the entire Northern Song Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, whether it is the development of the Northwest, the battle of Liaoxia, or the development of the Yellow River Valley, the financial revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty began to grow.

At the beginning, it was only a slight increase, and for some departments with surpluses, they secretly raised a little bit to make the officials live a little better, but then, with more and more income, they became bolder.

Do not suffer from inequality between the rich and the poor, this point has already caused problems in the center of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the officials at the bottom are full of complaints, some departments that are not very good, or departments that are poor, may be two or three times worse than other departments.

Chaos is one aspect, and it is also concentrated in a small number of functions and departments, and the key is that it is insufficient.

The time for the Northern Song Dynasty to begin its rapid development is not very long, but the effect has been quite obvious, from 3,000 yuan of less income, suddenly increased to 120 million last year, this increase was completed in 6 years, this growth rate is quite amazing, almost every year is 450%.

The entire Northern Song Dynasty was promoted through the Dinghai Navy, and some of the things that the Dinghai Navy paid attention to, they would also consider it, coupled with convenient transportation and increased transportation volume, the basic materials of Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty were not very expensive.

For example, the price of rice, including rice, has decreased by at least 15% compared to usual, and at the same time, it is quite stable.

Whether it's spring, when there's a shortage of greens, or in winter, when transportation isn't particularly convenient, the price fluctuation isn't too big.

Even rice, other grains, and even meat, have a relatively large decline, especially the large-scale supply of the Dinghai Navy, such as sea fish, canned food, and all kinds of seafood, are relatively cheap.

If we talk about the cost of living, in Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty, at the current level, the cost of living has indeed decreased, and the cost of living for the small people in Shengdou has been reduced by 15 to 30 on average, which is definitely a good thing for ordinary people, and their cost of living is reduced.

However, officials, not only the cost of living, after the development speed of the Northern Song Dynasty began to surge, especially after the business was easy to do and there was such a new thing as a factory, the life of the people at the bottom was better, as long as they were diligent and willing to work, life was good, this was not a problem at all.

This is a good thing, so that people who don't have a job, or can't get by, will not starve to death because of lack of money, or take risks, but for Bianliang, there are fewer idle people, some service industries, and some scattered types of work, and there are fewer people.

Even if it is a feudal dynasty, it must follow some objective laws, for example, the increase in the wage level of workers and servants, for example, the increase in the price of some service industries, these may not be meaningful to the people at the bottom, but for the officials, they are all meaningful.

In addition to eating, every other item is improving, and the average expenditure has increased by more than 50%, which has already eaten up the increase in eating, and if you add other expenses, it will be even higher.

For example, in the previous expenditure, there was no expenditure on daily necessities, no expenditure on various ready-to-wear clothing, and even no expenditure on carriages and livestock, which were all along with the great changes in the Northern Song Dynasty.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, this is human nature, in the face of a more convenient and comfortable method, you let him still follow what the Northern Song Dynasty had done before, how is it possible, even if he has strong willpower, he can't do this, let alone an official who prides himself on being an elite.

It turned out that 100 guan was enough for an official, and he could live a more decent life in the entire Bianliang, but now, it has increased by at least 50%, which is still the kind that is stretched, and most of the loans of low-level officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, and even think of other methods, abound.

In this case, of course, dividends are not allowed, and Han Qi personally issued and dealt with a lot, but if you let the horses run and don't give the horses grazing, it can't be said.

After a relatively systematic investigation, the overall gap of officials below the third grade is about 30% to 50%, and this gap is real, especially for some people whose family backgrounds are not very good, and it is almost a nightmare to be an official in Bianliang.

It must be improved, of course, to see if the money is enough, the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, is the money enough?

Of course it's enough, it's enough, over the years, in 6 years, the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty has begun to grow wildly, and it has increased 4 times in 6 years, although there are more expenditures, but there is more surplus.

Especially in the last two years, the surplus of the previous year reached 15 million, reaching a new high since the development of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and last year was even more amazing, reaching 37 million.

The work of the third division has changed from the previous reduction of expenses to the search for projects, and in the middle, it is definitely not allowed to spend unnecessary expenses, and the habits formed by Ye Qingchen do not support him to do so.

Regarding the increase in wages, it has been mentioned before, but it is not very important, for readers, talking about money is always not so justifiable, and not many people pay attention to it.

Now from Han Qi's standpoint, this question was raised, which immediately attracted a large discussion between the government and the opposition, Han Qi was still more pragmatic from the past style, why did he discuss this issue.

Among the important ministers of the entire DPRK and the Central Committee, Han Qi is the one who learns the navy the most, and many of his twists and turns have a very distinct style of the navy, from raising problems, to the causes of problems, and then to solving problems, which is very concise and to the point.

In fact, after Renzong received this twist from Han Qi, he was already ready to promote the moon, from the Later Tang Dynasty to Renzong, there was almost no change in the official position, and the patchwork was scattered, but the entire official position system had huge loopholes, and it was just like this to make up for it.

A major reform of the entire official system caused by the moon began to unfold vigorously in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the official reform that began in the later generations to Shenzong was quickly discussed and approved under the premise that it was advanced to Renzong, whether it was the financial situation or the ability to control the court, it was quickly discussed and approved.

The bureaucratic system has not changed much, but many temporary departments have been turned into regular departments, for example, the Railway Bureau, listed separately, is an independent department, directly responsible for the Zhongshu Sect, and the three divisions have also divided some independent departments, the only thing that has not changed much is the Privy Council.

In times of peace, money and power are the most important, and the military, which is a secondary part, is not valued in the absence of war.

There are many departments added, and more importantly, the official system has become more clear, although there is an official system from nine to one product, but the real important thing is more than seven products, and the county order is a starting point, but through adjustment, especially the increasingly huge system and management functions of the Northern Song Dynasty, the county order has been downgraded and reduced to eight products, and other systems and upgrading contexts have also begun to be clear.

In line with these rights and tasks, there is a large-scale increase in monthly income, which is mainly concentrated in the middle and low grades.

The salary of officials is low, mainly below the third grade, and the above three grades can be called high-ranking officials of the imperial court, this continuation of the system of the Tang Dynasty, their salaries are quite high, a Zaifu, not to mention other income, titles, powers, just say that the Zaifu itself, 300 salaries, 150 or so of grain, clothes, silk and other regulations, add up to more than 500 per month, if there are a few more false positions and titles, the monthly income of 2000 is not a problem.

Even if it is such a high consumption environment in Bianliang, a few hundred guan is enough to solve the problem, and 2000 guan is really a bit high.

Han Qi is very aware of this, he not only improved, but also decreased, and promoted the change of the entire monthly income system on the premise of ensuring that the increase was less than 3%.

After the reform of the monthly salary system, the monthly salary of Beijing officials above the sixth rank can reach about 150 yuan, and for different levels, there are subsidies, for example, the salary of servants, etc., which can be responsible for the imperial court, which avoids some unnecessary expenditures.

At the same time, the whole system is also more detailed, part of it is the monthly salary, part of it is the physical goods, these physical goods are all produced by the factories controlled by the Northern Song Dynasty, which not only ensures the increase in wages, but also allows these products to have a certain sales, in this case, it is natural that everyone is happy.

Han Qi is not a copper coin, not everyone likes it, but this official reform has given him considerable recognition, making the overall prestige higher and his rights more stable.

It took only more than one month to complete the major adjustment, the system was completely changed, and some new departments began to be listed, which were managed in the name of justice, but unfortunately more detailed changes are still being made.

This Yulu is for Beijing officials, and a lot of data is not easy to come from living in Bianliang, but every place has a different environment, the standard of living is different, and the consumption of officialdom is not the same, so it is impossible to fit all the rules.

To maintain the dignity of officials, but not waste, this is a very long-term process, Bianliang's adjustment, is only a first step, in the entire Northern Song Dynasty of the official system reform, this is just the beginning, just a basic number, specific, but also depends on the summary of the place, in this technical scene, to add, and then can be implemented.

But now, the most difficult has been completed, Bianliang is not only the largest number of officials, but also the most complicated, involving the Eastern Government, the Privy Council, the three departments and other huge departments of power, after they have been adjusted, from top to bottom, the adjustment is logical.

A system reform has basically come to an end, and unconsciously, it has been four months since Han Qi watched the exercises of the Dinghai Navy, and the time for Han Qi to leave is getting closer and closer, and the day when Zhao Xin and others ascend the throne is also getting closer and closer.
