Cabinet members didn't know what to say about Zhang Yu's innovation.

There are wise places, and there are also those that have buried huge hidden dangers for the empire.

Most people are against it, and they would rather spend more money to raise soldiers than put this huge hidden danger everywhere.

Hundreds of thousands of trained troops are put in the locality, and once they are used by those who have intentions, it will become a huge danger.

Cabinet members were reluctant to take risks, with a few opposing and a few silent.

Zhang Yu looked at them, and then said: "At least, when I was in power, I was absolutely wise, what happened in the future generations, I can't care so much, when someone wants to rebel, I also believe that the system I formulated can be inherited." ”

Zhang Yu's strength was revealed again, don't look at Zhang Yu's usual dislike of being in charge, most of the things are handed over to the cabinet to deal with, but this kind of very principled issue, Zhang Yu directly promoted.

Zhang Yu directly promoted this system, and the cabinet could only cooperate.

Then Zhang Yu had to start formulating a new system.

"Nowadays, there are still many prisoners in the whole world, and I have a new view on the rehabilitation of these prisoners, so I will build roads and renovate them nearby, and I will also assign some heavy prisoners, and I will let them dig rivers."

"I want to dig a canal from the north to the south, so that the man's rice can be easily transported to the north. If there is a famine in the world, it can be adjusted quickly. Zhang Yu threw out another major issue.

Everyone took a few breaths at the moment, Zhang Yu was so happy, this is not a good thing.

Guo Jia and Fu Zhu stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, this project is huge, it will definitely not work, the world has not been completely calmed down, and a large number of roads are being built, and the empire cannot afford to spend it." ”

Zhang Yu waved his hand and asked them to sit down.

"This plan, only the cabinet knows all of it, and the ministries only know a small part of the plan, although I am so happy and want to be the emperor of a thousand years, but I am not stupid, I am now in the prime of a thousand years, and there is time."

"The canal plan must be carried out, but I plan to complete it in thirty years, but now we have to start planning and digging it on a small scale."

"Start digging in sections, it won't attract anyone's attention, as long as you let the engineering personnel explore it first, and then divide it into dozens of sections, and then recruit people nearby, in fact, it's not a big problem."

"Dig dozens of miles a year, and in a few years, this plan can be easily completed."

Zhang Yu knew that he had to dig it all at once, and he was not allowed to recruit millions of people, and if he didn't control it well, millions of young people would rebel directly.

Emperor Yang of Sui was too anxious, there was a war over there, and hundreds of thousands of people had to be recruited over there to dig up.

You can recruit thousands of people here, thousands of people there, and thousands of people can dig at the same time, and you can dig dozens of miles a year.

The canal is a thousand-year-old plan, how could Zhang Yu miss it.

Tell the cabinet about 30 years, he can't wait for 30 years, maybe 15 years, maybe 10 years to finish.

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, the cabinet breathed a sigh of relief, if Zhang Yu really wants to start such a super project now, this cabinet really doesn't know how to deal with it.

Zhang Yu continued: "This is also conducive to training engineering personnel, so that they can study well, and in the future, many water conservancy projects will be built to irrigate the land." ”

The cabinet asked Zhang Yu to stop the topic, and they drank tea first and rested.

When Zhang Yu was away, they complained, although they had discussed many things, but they still had to decide with Zhang Yu, and they had to wait for Zhang Yu's decision.

Now that Zhang Yu is back, he likes to throw out issues that shock them.

After everyone rested, Zhang Yu asked them to make a detailed plan in a few days, using heavy prisoners, and then recruit a few thousand more people to start building the canal.

The scale is under the control of the cabinet, just a few thousand people, and there is no problem at all, which reassures the cabinet.

Zhang Yu's series of innovations made it difficult for the cabinet to cope.

In particular, the redivision of administrative regions is too much work.

Zhang Yu has only made a rough idea in Shandong for more than a month, and there are many things to follow.

Tian Feng proposed: "Your Majesty, it is not impossible to redivide, but it can be divided into large ones first, and then small ones." ”

"Divide the provincial level first, and not too quickly, and then let the provincial level slowly divide the counties and cities, there is a relatively long transition time."

Tian Feng's suggestion was very good, Zhang Yu said: "Yes, I didn't think about it at the beginning, so it's very good." ”

The various issues are slowly advancing, and none of the innovations involve a huge amount, and Zhang Yu can't be in a hurry.

With so many plans to go, Zhang Yu felt that he wouldn't want to leave the capital for a year.

If you don't have it, the cabinet is not at ease.

The division of the provincial level is a very important innovation, and Zhang Yu discussed it with the cabinet for two whole days.

Over the course of two days, as their discussions deepened, more questions arose.

"Then first divide Youzhou and Jizhou, Qingzhou part, Youzhou is easy to do, divided into three provinces, the provincial level is determined first, according to the current internal transfer of the official system, and the rest will be arranged later, Jizhou's affairs will be handed over to Mr. Wen Ruo to deal with, and the provincial division will be determined first."

After the discussion, various problems emerged, and Zhang Yu was also unexpected, so he could only deal with them slowly.

Provincial-level officials, and city-level officials, are generally served by the county guard, and if the county guard is not enough, let the county wait, and if it is really not possible, a number of county orders will be investigated.

Zhang Yu is going to reorganize the system and change the entire political system.

It's a big project.

After the formulation is completed, the most important thing is that there will be problems in the operation of this system, which need to be constantly faced by Zhang Yu and the cabinet.

Many problems cannot be thought of in advance, and they will slowly appear when they are implemented.

After discussing for a few days, Zhang Yu decided it first, and then slowly solved it when problems arose.

Zhang Yu determined the provinces, cities and counties, which was a completely new system, which proved to be very useful in later generations.

But whether it can be compatible with this era, Zhang Yu is not clear.

Historically, there were always ministers who directly supervised several provinces, such as the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Huguang.

This shows that the administrative units are divided into relatively small places, and it is also somewhat troublesome to manage.

It is not without reason that the Qin and Han dynasties were divided into Kyushu.

Zhang Yu wants to cut Kyushu into more than thirty provinces at once, and then add overseas places, maybe fifty or sixty provinces.

"If they can all be linked by Chidao, then it's not a big problem."

At this time, the efficiency of the transportation system is very low, if it is divided into provinces, cities and counties, then the official documents and message transmission are very slow, and several provinces can be directly sent to the state, and if the state needs to be reported to the emperor, it will be sent quickly, and if it can be directly handled, it will be dealt with directly.

If the number of official documents in Kyushu becomes more than 30 provinces, the number of official documents will increase several times, and the high-ranking officials do not have the authority of the previous state pastors, so there will naturally be more things to ask for.

Zhang Yu can no longer tolerate the existence of the state pastor or the Tang Dynasty's festival envoys, the power is too great, and he is simply the same as the emperor.
