Since the crown prince Sima Shu returned to Beijing, he has done two things, one is to uproot the party of Empress Jia and King Zhao, and grasp the power of the court; The second is to pass on goodwill to the family in the world through the Pei family, which caused huge disagreements within the family. Some of them, like the Pei family, the Yang family, and even the Wang Yan branch of the Langya Wang family chose to cooperate with the prince.

However, the other families still looked down on the prince, turned a blind eye to the goodwill released by the prince, and instead stepped up cooperation with other princes and kings. Since Empress Jia was deposed, the King of Qi, the King of Chengdu and other powerful princes have been stepping up to improve their strength.

Sima Shu was also very helpless about these changes of the family, he really didn't mean to kill the family in the world with a stick, but the gap between the family and the prince was too deep, so that both of them couldn't believe the promise given by the other party.

But Sima Shu couldn't cut them all together, he just wanted to transform the family gate valve through some improvement means. Because he knows that it is impossible to eliminate the family, this thing is like a weed, today he destroys some, and tomorrow a new family will appear.

And there is no shortage of talents in these families, such as the Lu brothers, who are all great talents.

Chinese people pay attention to their origins. There are elements of the traditional theory of descent, and there are also some natural concepts of inheritance in it. The children of the family in Chinese history are often able to make some famous names, one is not disgraced by the situation created by the ancestors, and then they also add glory to the lintel of the family.

Since he has not received a positive response from the family, Sima Shu had no choice but to convene his subordinates to discuss countermeasures, and finally everyone decided to adopt a family division method similar to the Tui En Decree to forcibly weaken the strength of the family, but because the time was not yet ripe, this proposal was only circulated among a few ministers in the court.

"Your Highness, since we have so many reserve talents, why don't we summon them to the capital immediately?"

"Well, this is another thing that Lone wants to discuss with all of you today, Lone is going to implement the imperial examination system to replace the nine-rank selection system implemented by the imperial court in the selection of talents."

"The imperial examination system? What is the imperial examination system for Your Highness? Everyone was a little puzzled, even Zhang Bin was a little confused.

"The imperial examination, also known as the scientific examination, is simply the use of examinations to select talents. We decide what to test, we decide the questions, and the test will be open to all students, regardless of their origins, based on their results in the examination room. Only those with excellent grades can become officials, and this is the imperial examination. ”

Sima Shu continued with a smile on his face: "The imperial examination can only test the specific strength of the candidates, and it is absolutely impossible to mix things such as classics and virtues that are impossible to judge. Otherwise, those of us who pass the exam are afraid that they will become the kind of nerds who have a thousand words in their pens and no plan in their chests. ”

"For example, if the officials of the Imperial Court do not know any laws, how can they be released from prison and adjudicated? The so-called seeks his position in his position. Judgment requires proficiency in the law and judgment to judge cases, the main book needs the corresponding accounting ability, and the administrative management needs the corresponding government affairs planning ability. This is also the reason why Lone has set up various colleges in Guanzhong. ”

"Your Highness, this is a wonderful plan! If this imperial examination and school system are fully promoted, it will completely break the dream of the family to monopolize the government! It's just that I'm afraid that this will cause a strong backlash from other families! Zhang Bin saw at a glance Sima Shu's intention to implement the imperial examination system and the school system.

"Of course, if this strategy comes out, I'm afraid the world will be chaotic. Therefore, we must be extremely cautious, and before comprehensively popularizing the imperial examination and school system, we plan to carry out a reform of our administrative organs. ”

"Reform? How to change? Everyone had long been conquered by Sima Shu's whimsy, and at this time, everyone could only listen, and there was no chance to interject and express their opinions.

"Everyone knows that the administrative system of my Jin Dynasty inherited the two Han Dynasty Cao Wei, and this system has been implemented for hundreds of years, and everyone must be very clear about the drawbacks, so I plan to take the essence of it and remove the dross."

"Specifically, it is a three-province and nine-ministry system, which is divided into Shangshu Province, Zhongshu Province, and Menxia Province. Among them, the highest administrative power is held by Shangshu Province, and since then, all state affairs in the world have been in Shangshu Province. Shangshu Province has a Shangshu Commander in charge of all affairs of Shangshu Province. At the same time, in order to assist Shang Shuling, there will also be two deputy positions, which are Shangshu's left and right servants. ”

"Shangshu Province has nine ministries that are officials, schools, households, rites, industry, agriculture, civil affairs, transportation, and army departments, which are responsible for specific administrative affairs.

"Your Highness, isn't the power of Shangshu Province too great in this way? Didn't Shang Shuling have the power of the prime minister of the Han Dynasty? Wouldn't that be ......?"

Zhang Hua listened to Sima Shu's explanation for a long time, and found that the prince had increased the power of Shangshu Province, especially the position of Shangshu Ling, which was definitely a real and unknown prime minister, and he was worried that this would produce powerful ministers.

"Hehe, Master Taifu doesn't need to worry, and listen to Gu slowly, Shangshu Ling can't do everything he says, and all the texts in Shangshu Province must have a deputy to sign the order to be effective." Sima Shu explained with a smile, and sure enough, everyone showed a hint of surprise on their faces after hearing this.

Only then did everyone know that the prince's move greatly elevated the power of Shangshu Province, but in this way, the power of Shangshuling would be greatly increased, so in order to limit the power of Shangshuling, there would be a seemingly 'redundant' provision later.

"Lonely first talk about the Ministry of Officials, the system of selecting the rank of the Ministry of Officials, the method of deposing the class of the exam, the code of conferring the reward, and the law of the final system of the establishment of the civil service as the institution for the management of civil officials. After the restructuring, the civil officials of our dynasty will be divided into 14 grades and 28 grades, the highest being the third grade, and the following will be from the third grade to the fourth grade, from the fourth grade to the ninth grade. And each product is divided into upper and lower levels, such as the three products are divided into the three products and the three products. These twenty-eight levels will summarize the lowest level of officials in our dynasty, the county Cao subordinate members, to the highest level of Shangshu Provincial Chief Officer, Shang Shu Ling. ”

"Your Highness, why don't you have a first or second grade here?" Pei Wei couldn't understand why there were only three products in the new official system.

"Lord Pei's product and second grade will become super products in the future, generally as the rank of a lord, for example, in the future, Gu plans to set up a cabinet to deal with the daily affairs of the imperial court, and those who enter the cabinet will be added some titles, such as Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar, this is the level of the first grade."

Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Sima Shu continued: "Shangshu Province has the right to appoint officials below the Zhengwupin, and officials above the county guard (Zhengwupin) need Shangshu Ling and two deputies to nominate them, and then submit them to the emperor for approval, and finally the Shangshu Province will be appointed in the name of Shangshu Province. ”

In addition, in the future, all the official evaluations of the imperial court will be presided over by the Ministry of Officials, and Lone intends to abolish the celebrity evaluation system, and those celebrities will go to the academy to teach if they have nothing to do in the future, and do not interfere in the imperial court selection system. Of course, they also have the right to recommend talents to the imperial court, but the recommender must be jointly and severally liable, and the recommended person must also be assessed by the ministry. ”

Everyone's hearts were cold, especially Wang Yan, Pei Wei, Yang Xuanzhi and other officials from the family, they knew that this was the prince's dissatisfaction with the family's control of the court's selection channels, and it seemed that it would be impossible to make any more benefits in this area in the future.

As soon as Sima Shu's voice fell, everyone present was greedy for the position of Zhongshu Ling, wouldn't it be cool if he could serve as the Shangshu Ling after the restructuring! But they all know that this position may not be qualified if it is not the prince's henchman, and it seems that Zhang Hua is the most likely at present.

"Mr. Mengsun, is Zuo Si Zuo Taichong still in Luoyang?" Sima Shu didn't care about the people with different thoughts, but asked a question that had nothing to do with the reform.

"Yes, since the accident in the Jia family, Zuo Taichong has been closed to customers, and it seems that he has plans to live in seclusion recently."

Zhang Bin replied after a little thought, after he accepted the intelligence agency from Jiang Tong, he quickly extended his tentacles to all corners of the country, especially Luoyang, Kyoto, and was the object of his key monitoring.

"Seclusion? Why seclusion? He's a big celebrity, and I'm planning to make him the secretary of the school! You must know that the school department is in charge of persuasion, schools, classics, etc., and in the future, the imperial examination will also be under its management. If there is no famous person in charge, Lone is not at ease! Let's see if I can take some time to visit Taichong's home! Zuo Si is different from Zhou Hui, although he is attached to the Jia family, he has not participated in the rebellion, we must identify and use these people, and we must not engage in one-size-fits-all! ”

"Obey your orders!"

"The household department is in charge of the world's finances, including money, grain, taxation, and expenditure. In the future, the national tax revenue will be gathered here, and the household department will be the money bag of the imperial court. According to the lonely look at the household department of Shangshu, you must be proficient in arithmetic! ”

"As for the Ministry of Rites, it is almost the Great Honglu Temple, which is mainly responsible for rituals, sacrifices, diplomacy and religion. That is, he is responsible for formulating various etiquette, and is also responsible for the communication affairs of foreign countries, in addition to managing astronomy, omissions, national taboos, temples, monks and nuns, and many other affairs. ”

"This Ministry of Rites is still held by Lord Wang Yan, Lord Wang is the leader of Shilin, and it is extremely appropriate to hold this noble position!" Wang Yan was dissatisfied when he heard that his cousin was arranged by the prince to be idle, but in the face of Sima Shu, who is now extremely strong, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

"The Ministry of Industry is the organ that manages the affairs of the national project. He is in charge of the system of civil construction, the use of utensils, the method of ditch and weir dredging, and the mausoleum for 100 million. All civil engineering, water conservancy projects, mining, metallurgy, textiles and other government-run industries in the country are all in charge, and are in charge of a part of the financial currency and unified weights and measures. All the factories, mines, research institutes, engineering colleges, civil engineering and water conservancy projects in the world, whether they are cities, roads, bridges, embankments, etc. ”

Originally, Sima Shu also wanted to propose a Ministry of Commerce, but considering the actual situation, he decided that it would be more appropriate to postpone it. After all, the commerce of the Jin Dynasty was not very prosperous, coupled with the prejudice of the world, if it rashly became a separate one, I am afraid it would cause more dissatisfaction.

Sima Shu continued: "The Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of the country's agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry industries. Responsible for advising agriculture, reclamation, planting, animal husbandry, fishery and other affairs. ”

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the distribution of all household registration land in the country. Marriage and heirs, as well as medical and health care, disaster relief and other matters closely related to the daily life of the people. ”

"The Ministry of Transport is in charge of the maintenance of roads, bridges, ferries, and boat bridges across the country. Responsible for the transfer of materials from all over the country, there are also postal stations and water transportation, etc. ”

"The War Department is in charge of the recruitment, transfer, promotion, conferral and conscription of military attachés, imprisonment, rations, baggage, etc., and is in charge of all workshops for the production of ordnance materials for the Army."

In the future, Sima Shu will also set up a naval department, but now his navy is still nowhere to be seen, so he can only run aground temporarily.

"The chief officer of each ministry is Shangshu, and there are two deputies called Shilang, and there are left and right ministers, left and right Shilang, and Wailang, who are responsible for the affairs of the capital province, and the general department is responsible for the implementation of the edict."
