92 The Reform Begins (M)
It stands to reason that the restructuring task of the Government Council is the heaviest. But actually, here, it's better to change. Because those officials, all of them are literate people, and their ability to understand is excellent. If they are organized and explained clearly, the restructuring will be carried out smoothly.
Congress has only just been formed, and most people have not yet understood its responsibilities. Therefore, Liu Hong directly accepted Liu Qian as the first prime minister after the restructuring. For example, what kind of policy program, parliamentary vote or something, just omit it, and wait for the next time the prime minister is changed.
"Congratulations to Uncle Huang, who has become the real prime minister of the Han Dynasty!"
"Haha, this is thanks to His Majesty's appreciation!"
Liu Qian became the prime minister, which was quite happy. In the past, he was a scholar of Lu Shangshu, equivalent to the actual prime minister of the Han Dynasty. But Lu Shangshu is not the real prime minister after all, although it is just a change of name, the actual work, there is not much change. But after all, it is a good thing to be happy about.
The newly established Nine Divisions, although they are not very different from Jiuqing, are just a change of name and an adjustment of the division of labor, and it is not a complicated thing.
Therefore, the central departments are not very difficult to manage. The only thing that needs to be bothered is the Ministry of Security, and the most troublesome is the National Security Agency in the Ministry of Security.
Although the Ministry of Security does not care about the army, it is responsible for all matters of coordination with the army. And he is also a violent department, and the arrest of criminals is fast, but it is all under its name. Moreover, the defense of national security is also under its control, and for convenience, Liu Hong has adjusted the function of arresting fast. Not only does it have to catch criminals, but it also patrols the precinct. So Liu Hong named them patrolling, which means patrolling and arresting.
The NSA, which is a completely new department. And its main function is to be an intelligence department that needs to be spied on. So people attach great importance to this department.
Liu Hong's department is actually a target, let it be improved slowly. Whether it can work or not, Liu Hong really doesn't care too much. After all, he still has a secret bureau under his full responsibility, but after so many years of hard work, he has now become a fairly complete department, and he can get almost all the information.
As for the Military Intelligence Agency, it is the intelligence department of the army, and the main energy is spent abroad. Although there are also some investigations in the country, they generally don't mix in them, and they directly archive the unimportant things, even if it is a more serious matter, they can at most transfer the information they get to the imperial history or the emperor.
It is not difficult for the Government Council to reform, but the personnel appointments of the Nine Ministries, especially the Shangshu of the Nine Ministries, will never dare to be appointed casually without Liu Hong's consent. Even Liu Qian, the prime minister, can't do it.
Liu Hong has also been considering the candidate for the Shangshu of the Nine Departments. These are all important departments, and the candidates selected must not only have professional knowledge, but also be flexible and able to do things.
The Ministry of Officials, the assessment and promotion of officials, nobles, and meritorious services is the most important thing, and it can be regarded as the head of all ministries. In previous lives, people referred to the official book as a heavenly official, which shows its importance.
Such an important department must not be taken lightly. After thinking about it with Liu Qian for a long time, Liu Hong decided to let Hu Guang serve as the secretary of the ministry.
Hu Guang is a highly respected person. Although he is a poor person, he can subdue the family gate valve and let him manage the ministry, so he should not be able to make a mistake.
The Ministry of Rites, in Liu Hong's view, is not important. However, in the hearts of ancient people, etiquette was quite important. Zuo Chuan said that the major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong. This ritual is under the control of the Ministry of Rites, so it is important.
The Ministry of Rites is still the book, and Liu Hong does not have any good candidates. But Liu Qian mentioned a person, which made Liu Hong very satisfied, this person was Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan, this person is famous in history, and there is a lot of controversy. His argument mainly came from two women, the famous big and small Joe. Some people say that Big Joe is his daughter, some people say no, and it is also verified that their age is wrong, it cannot be father and daughter. And now Liu Hong knows that Big and Little Qiao are Qiao Xuan's daughters, because Big and Little Qiao are both born now and are raised in Qiao Xuan's family.
Big and small Qiao, that is Liu Hong's wife. Therefore, Qiao Xuan is his appointed father-in-law. Since he is his father-in-law, he is a family, and he must be vigorously promoted. Therefore, Liu Hong directly agreed to Liu Qian's proposal and appointed Qiao Xuan as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Households, this is in charge of money. Taxes, customs, banks, all these are in his hands. So this appointment is also very important.
Just when Liu Hong was thinking about who to accept his fate, Liu Qian recommended Lai Yan again. Lai Yan, in history, he was the prime minister of Emperor Ling, and he was very talented, Liu Hong thought about it for a while and agreed.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs is closely related to the people, and the specific affairs of civil, military, agriculture, industry and commerce are under its control. So this person, must be able to be very flexible. Liu Hong thought about it for a long time and felt that Xu Xun was the most flexible. And he can be regarded as a lone minister, so Liu Hong appointed him as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The Ministry of Human and Social Resources not only manages people's files, charity and relief in need. Above all, it is also in charge of all the resources and environmental protection of the country. This is definitely a fat difference, according to Liu Qian's proposal, it will be given the position of Shangshu to Liu Yan, the ancestor of the Han family.
The Department of Security, which is considered a violent department, should be given to trustworthy people. Liu Hong is familiar with people, there is no suitable one. In the end, he could only give this Shangshu position to Liu Biao, who was also a relative of the Han family.
The Ministry of Education, this department is very important, because Liu Hong wants to popularize education, which tests people's abilities. In the end, after consideration, this position of Shangshu was given to Sima Hui, who had just passed the imperial examination.
Giving him this position, Liu Hong thought about it carefully, mainly because he took a fancy to this guy's connections. To achieve universal education, there must be enough teachers. According to historical records, Sima Hui is highly educated, has a wide range of friends, his acquaintances are almost all noble people, and there are countless disciples.
The Ministry of Communications, in terms of now, this department is the most important. Liu Hong is about to migrate on a large scale, and transportation work is the top priority, if the ability is not enough and the migration is delayed, it will be a bad thing.
This position requires ability, but among the people Liu Hong is familiar with, there is really no such person. In the end, Liu Hong thought that the newly promoted Hu Zhao had been admitted.
Hu Zhao is a powerful person. It is rumored that he is the teacher of the ghost genius Guo Jia and the villain Sima Yi. There is no conclusion on this matter, but what is conclusive is that this person is definitely a powerful person, and his talent is no less than that of Zhuge Liang.
Since his ability is no less than Zhuge Liang's, managing the Ministry of Communications, there is no big problem.
Ministry of Health, this department is a good choice. Since you have to have professional ability, you can choose a famous doctor. Therefore, Liu Hong directly asked Zhang Ji (Zhang Zhongjing) to be the secretary of the Ministry of Health.
Originally, Liu Hong wanted Hua Tuo to be the secretary of the Ministry of Health, after all, Hua Tuo was two years older than Zhang Zhongjing. Although the two years old are about the same, when it comes to a twenty-year-old young man, the gap is still quite large.
But in the end, considering that Zhang Zhongjing's family was slightly better and he received a better education, he chose Zhang Zhongjing.
If it were to be put in the future and become a minister in his twenties, he would not dare to imagine it at all. Even if it is an authentic red second generation, at this age, he can't be such a big official.
This is the advantage of ancient times, there is no need to talk about seniority, to a certain extent, it can be said that meritocracy. Not to mention Shangshu in his twenties, even teenage prime ministers have appeared. Therefore, no one has any objections to Liu Hong's appointment.
Shangshu has been chosen, and the other candidates are not important. Liu Hong just asked Liu Qi to watch the appointment, and the important thing is to set up the Government Council as soon as possible.
