With the return of Jin Sheng and You Haibo, the heroes who started the Huaxia Army, to the cabinet court, Zhu Dadian and Zhu Yujian withdrew from the cabinet and retired home, and Du Ge took over Chen Hanhui's post of secretary of the Ministry of Supervision.

Zhu Dadian, as the uncle of the country, can't control more rights at the same time to prevent his relatives from dictatorship, and Zhu Dadian's body is not good.

Zhu Yujian, as a former emperor, no matter how much Zhang Qiang treats him, there must be a trace of melancholy and knots for him, and such emotions are manifested in the work that some of the cabinet's operations are not very smooth.

There is always some delay, Zhang Qiang also knows these things, but he won't say it, the Ministry of Military Intelligence and the Ministry of Civil Intelligence are his eyes and ears, what don't you know, Nanming and Huaxia have a deep relationship, Zhang Qiang will not destroy this unity and stability because of a little thing, but Zhu Yujian is not in good health, he has a reason, so Zhu Yujian also retired, Huaxia Army does not raise idlers, this is a rule, even if Zhu Yujian is still a little greedy for power, Zhang Qiang did not hesitate to take him down.

Of course, it was the kind of polite takedown, not a strong expulsion, and it had been more than half a year since these things were done, but Zhang Qiang found that the imperial court was not running so smoothly, so he asked Zhou Congee to inquire.

Zhou Congee squirmed for a while, and said his embarrassment and his worries.

He really didn't want to admit that he couldn't manage the whole cabinet well, but it wasn't really that he didn't want to manage it well, but it was true that there were some things he really didn't know what to do.

Zhou Congee is now managing the household department and the ministry, and gets the financial and personnel rights in his hands, which is his cleverness, but many things are not as long as there are financial rights and personnel rights, he actually has no team, for so many years he has relied on Zhang Qiang's trust and as Zhang Qiang's confidant, listening to Zhang Qiang's words and forcibly mixed up, in the past, the general old brothers, everyone can still listen to him, and now those old brothers are outside as feudal officials, governors of a state, or in the departments managed by Zhang Qiang, the cabinet are some Ming courtiers, Whether it is Nanming or Hongguang, Yongli, the old ministers of the Lu Jianguo, or the old-style men and horses of the newly promoted Dashun Army, they are all in the cabinet or on the local governors.

Although the concept of the Huaxia Army is very new and the model is also very new, the staffing is all some characters with old-fashioned concepts, so many times what Zhang Qiang told Zhou Congee, Zhou Congee is generally difficult to implement, or the effect is not the ideal imagined.

Listening to Zhou Congee's complaints, Zhang Qiang carefully recalled the situation of some people in the kingdom over the years, although the Huaxia army has achieved an incomparably brilliant victory, but this victory is in the military, not in the civil affairs, the civil affairs only maintained a kind of stability in the most glorious period of the Ming Dynasty, due to the actions of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Supervision, the officials of the Huaxia Kingdom are not as sloppy and corrupt as the officials of other dynasties, but they do not have much enthusiasm, they are pushed by themselves.

"If we're going to do a cleanup of our own bureaucracy, do you think we should let those officials go up and those officials go down?" Zhang Qiang pushed away the dishes on the table, picked up the jasmine tea served by the maid next to him and asked.

Zhou Congee leaned on the sofa on the side, it was a sofa, there was Zhang Qiang, a traverser, a small sofa, of course, there was no need to make a fuss, as early as many years ago, the Huaxia Army had almost all the post-generational office, instead of the classical charm of mahogany furniture, Huanghuali official hat chairs, those cold wood furniture, all the offices of the Huaxia Army have added desks, sofas, coffee tables, couches for guests, and even coat racks for hanging coats and hats.

Zhou Congee dragged his cheeks, held a teacup in one hand, and thought for a while, "I think we should replace a lot of officials transferred from Nanmingguo, Li Guangdi, Li Guangxiong, Su Zhiqing, these don't need to be replaced, but some officials who are vegetarian should no longer stay in their original positions, they have money, power, just eat and drink, and then use the power in their hands to make profits for themselves, which makes many of the officials we have trained also learn from them, which will corrupt our entire official system, so, I want to do it, These people have to be cleaned up.

But ——, you know, if you want to clean them up, you need to pay attention to the impact, because many people, in fact, they are all officials of the Ming Dynasty, if we clean up one, it's okay, and the others may have to snicker, but if we want to clean up a batch, they will think, will we also lose our official hats at that time, so maybe they won't resist, they won't jump out and criticize us, but they will be passive and sabotage, which will affect the stability of our entire kingdom, and we don't even have the people completely stabilized. It is even less likely that the official system will be thrown into chaos. ”

Zhang Qiang tapped his fingers on the table and said sullenly: "I thought of a way to dismiss these officials and send them to the consulting bureau." ”

Zhou Congee raised his head and looked at Zhang Qiang in surprise, "Consultation Bureau? He immediately thought of something, and asked: "But the consulting bureau is a yamen at the county level, and there are many Ming officials such as the squires of various ministries in our cabinet, the ministers, and the governor-level political envoys, do we have to send them down?" The shock is even greater, who wants to give up their high-ranking official titles and stay in the low-level officials' yamen? ”

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "If there is no high-level level, can you raise the next level, now our county-level consultation bureau is doing quite well, many problems of the people can be reflected to the yamen through the consultation bureau, and other yamen will handle it as appropriate, so that we can communicate with the people below each other and resolve grievances and make a lot of contributions, can we extend the county-level consultation bureau to the prefecture level and the state level?"

Add another Yushitai Yamen in each ministry, many things in the Advisory Bureau, in fact, are the things done by the Yushitai Yamen in the past, although some things overlap with the affairs of the Ministry of Supervision, but we can divide them in more detail, the mistakes of officials found by the Yushitai can be reflected to the Yamen of the Ministry of Supervision, and the Ministry of Supervision will deal with it according to the situation reflected, so that the work of the Yamen of the Ministry of Supervision can be done better, and we can better clean up and supervise our official team, and we can also give the people an impression of being honest, isn't this good? ”

Zhou Congee smiled, "Your Majesty, you are wise, I didn't expect that such a way to get the best of both worlds would make you think of it in such a short time, but it has bothered me for several years, I felt a few years ago that I couldn't control this group of Ming officials, alas, I didn't expect that your consulting bureau would have been placed there a long time ago and paved the way for me, and I haven't paid attention to it, it's really stupid." ”

Zhang Qiang also smiled: "It's not that you're stupid, but I don't know if the consulting bureau can succeed, why it was only implemented in villages and towns at the beginning, and then it was implemented in the county after a few years, it is to be carried out step by step, one is to test everyone's reaction, one is to let everyone accept this new thing, the consulting bureau is different from the imperial history yamen of the previous dynasties, his function is definitely not to let people give me, give you a few playbooks, impeach each other's opponents, its main role is to let the people elect their own spokesperson, There is a channel of communication with the government, there is a place where you can show your talents, and the secondary role is a place to raise idlers. ”
