On the twentieth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, in the Forbidden City, in the hall of the Yang Xin, the tables and chairs are arranged like a modern hospital conference room, and there are improvements, with an oval table in the middle, the center is hollowed, and there are rows of chairs surrounding, expanding and extending from the inside to the outside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this moment, Yang Lin sat on the top, his hands on the table, those officials sat on both sides, such as Bailihe, Liu Yong, Ji Xiaolan and other big men and celebrities next to Yang Lin, and Yang Lin at the same table, other slightly inferior officials only have a chair, sitting around, even so, these people are also full of happiness, from ancient times to the present, the land of China, when can officials sit in the same hall with the emperor, no longer need to bow three times and bow nine bows?

For a while, such treatment, sitting and deliberating, made these people both excited and nervous.

Yang Lin flipped through the documents on the table, the minutes of the meeting, nodded, and then looked at Baili River: "Baili Shoufu, how are you preparing for the departments I asked you to draft?" Are there any good candidates for the officials in various positions? ”

Bailihe's expression froze, and he said a little unnaturally: "Marshal, those departments are very well prepared, but after reading the description of the functions of those departments, my subordinates feel that the responsibilities of several of them overlap with the functions of some yamen, so is it possible not to set them up?" ”

"Oh~? Overlap? Baili Shoufu, what do you say is the overlapping method? Yang Lin's expression was very calm, and he asked softly.

Bailihe looked at the others, especially the few people led by Wang Jie and Ji Xiaolan, and after receiving the gesture of encouragement, he exhaled heavily in his heart, straightened his thoughts, and said slowly: "Marshal, such as the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Security, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Land and Resources, these departments have never existed, and there is no problem with them being established now. ”

"However, the Ministry of Supervision overlaps with the Imperial History Yamen, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture overlaps with the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Personnel, just like a copy of the Ministry of Officials, there is no need to establish it again, right?"

At this time, Bailihe wanted to say more, but was stopped by Yang Lin's gesture, Yang Lin looked at the wide-eyed people who were staring at each other, and said slightly apologetically: "Ahem, it seems that I didn't make it clear to you in advance, I don't want all the Qing court structure, like any household department, official department, criminal department, etc., all of them are gone, and my Daguang Dynasty will set up the court composition according to the ones I drafted." ”

"Since ancient times, from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, to this day, no matter which dynasty, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is basically the composition of the previous dynasty, even if it has changed, but it has not changed much, but the result?"

While speaking, Yang Lin had already stood up, walked forward, kept pacing back and forth, the whole person exuded a majestic confidence, and between the steps and lines, an inexplicable qi pulsated, affecting the atmosphere in the conference room.

Walking slowly, seeing that everyone was pondering and reminiscing about their words, suddenly, Yang Lin's expression suddenly changed, and he spoke passionately.

"The result is that these dynasties rise and fall, reduced to history, their children and grandchildren from generation to generation, and finally affect the civilization of the entire Chinese land, and are bullied and humiliated by foreigners. No matter how others sit? What do you think? I, Yang Lin, don't want to be a sinner of history, come to a complete reform! ”

Yang Lin's words paused for a moment, and then he said in frustration: "It is undeniable that those systems or departments may have some merits, but so what? Life has been rushing for decades, so why bother with those things? In this case, why not completely empty them and reorganize them from scratch, so that at least at the beginning, because the officials have to be familiar with their work, then they will not have much energy to embezzle, and can only be as familiar with their posts as possible. ”

"As the saying goes, when a new official takes office, he will set up a new department, no matter who he is or what official position he holds, he is a new official, so I don't believe that their three fires are used for personal gain and corruption?"

"What's more, there are also supervision departments, discipline inspection commission departments, which supervise these officials and prevent them from abusing their power and embezzlement. Moreover, we have also set up a bureau of letters and visits, deputies to the people's congress, and these officials can supervise our officials from the bottom up. As long as there is evidence, we can investigate and deal with those who are black and corrupt officials. ”

"There are inspection departments and discipline inspection commission departments, and there are people who supervise and report through letters and visits and representatives, and the salaries of officials are raised, and there is no problem in feeding the whole family.

At this moment, some people were thrilled and excited when they heard this, and their eyes flashed with fine light, with Wang Jie being the most prosperous. However, some people are happy and some are sad, and not everyone likes this kind of subversive reform.

No matter what level of consideration, the power of the officials who are at the top of the first to the third rank, or the parent officials at the bottom, has shrunk significantly, and they no longer have the power to control a place, finance, taxation, punishment, military affairs, etc., and are no longer in the hands of one person.

Provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, the administration, justice, and penal punishment are separate and independent of each other, and they supervise each other, and even the governor of a province has no control over the judicial and penal departments, let alone military affairs.

Therefore, when Yang Lin proposed such a subversive reform, almost everyone was resistant. Because, without the feeling of being in power and commanding one place, they lost some of the fun of being an official.

However, Yang Lin was not asking for everyone's opinions, but said in a commanding tone, there is no refusal, the world was fought down by him with his brothers, how could he listen to the chatter of these people?

What's more, Yang Lin is not completely for his own selfishness, the biggest beneficiary is still the people of the Great Guang Dynasty and the entire Chinese people.

After a short silence, when everyone was almost thinking, Yang Lin continued: "You have just come into contact with these thoughts, some resistance, or unfamiliarity, instinctive resistance, I can understand this, but this matter is imperative, all the previous criminal departments and the like are banned, and they will not be used again." ”

After saying this, everyone obviously felt that this marshal obviously exuded a powerful aura, which was not to be refused, let alone unquestionable, making everyone's hearts congested and a little overwhelmed.

At this time, without waiting for everyone to react, as if they had thought of something, Yang Lin turned to say: "By the way, I have nothing to hide, I, Yang Lin, was born in a merchant family, and I rebelled to get the world, so I am most annoyed by the officialdom, from now on, for the officials of the Great Guang Dynasty, whether you call someone else, or someone else calls you, you are not allowed to call it an adult, either call him by his name, or add a surname in front of the official position, no one is much older than whom?" ”

"Moreover, the abolition of the ritual of prostration, which I once said, is not only between our kings and ministers, but also between the common people and us. If nothing else, my favorite sentence is, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to parents, this is the foundation of human beings and the dignity of human beings. ”

At this moment, everyone's hearts are no longer so resistant and excited, but raised to a new level, very moved, and there is an inexplicable emotion surging in their chests, although Yang Lin's words are straightforward, but the level is very high, and it is not good for people not to be respected.

The kings of the past dynasties have said that the common people are the most important, the emperor is secondary, the people are like water, the king is like a boat, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat. But what did those ancient kings do? It's not the ordinary people shouting, what have they done?

Rhetoric, just a high posture.

If nothing else, based on Yang Lin's last words, everyone had no reason to oppose the subversive reform and convince them. Moreover, they were also the actual beneficiaries, and their salaries were greatly increased, although they could not live the life of the aristocracy, but they were also at the level of the middle class, which had never been seen before.

While speaking, Yang Lin stopped, stood behind his chair, his body was straight, his expression was extremely suggestive, and he said solemnly: "Maybe some of you are not familiar with these departments, do not know how to operate, and what is the division of labor, you can rest assured, in the next two days, a group of professionals will come over to assist you." ”

At the same time, an idea flashed in Yang Lin's mind, and he said secretly: "As long as those talents who are preparing arrive in the capital and flood all departments, as the leader, with the guidance of these former Qing ministers, they can quickly get acquainted with the affairs of the whole country, and the people's livelihood, within five years, the reform of the rule of officials can be completely implemented, and a new atmosphere will appear in the officialdom, sweeping away the impression that officials are corrupt officials in the hearts of the people." ”

Immediately afterwards, Yang Lin retracted his expression, returned to his seat, sat down slowly, put his hands on the table, held the warm quilt, and said again: "Okay, I won't talk about it, let's go first, you continue to discuss some details, those departments are set up there." ”

Immediately, without waiting for everyone to react, Yang Lin got up, took a sip of tea, and turned away, leaving the conference room full of dumb people.
