Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Che's car slowly drove into the palace walls of Beique.

I lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the car.

Liu Che also sighed.

Originally, normally, after Shiqu Pavilion, he could take about a month's vacation - he would not return to Chang'an until late May to continue to preside over the government and deliberate on the topics of this year's examination.

However, the return of a remnant of the Qin Dynasty made him have to end his annual vacation early.

"Go and summon the prime minister, the imperial historian and the Jiuqing to the ......palace," Liu Che instructed Ji Di: "I will talk to Zhuqing today about the affairs of the world in the days when I left Chang'an......

This is natural, after Liu Che went to Ganquan Palace, except for the big things, all the other small things were handed over to the three princes and nine kings to preside.

This is not only Liu Che's trust in the current system, but also his attempt to promote and explore the Han Dynasty's version of the cabinet system.

At the moment, the system is working well.

At least, through the monitoring of the embroidered guard, Liu Che did not find any major problems.

However, Liu Che is not like the emperor of the Song and Ming dynasties, who only delegated power without accountability.

Liu Che has always thought: I give you power, that is, let you do things, and I can't do things well with power, what use do I want you to do?

Therefore, every time he returns from vacation, he will immediately convene the three princes and nine secretaries and ask them to report on the achievements of the policies implemented during this time?

If you don't have any achievements, you will be reprimanded, punished, cut down on food, or go home to farm!

This is also the tradition of the old Liu family.

That's how it started beating Liu Bang!

However, in Liu Che's hands, it has become more systematic, more meticulous and more sophisticated.

When Ji Di heard this, he bowed and said: "Before Your Majesty returned to the palace, the minister had already notified the prime minister and all the Ming Dukes, and now all the ministers are waiting for the edict in the Xuanshu Palace......"

"Good!" Liu Che couldn't help but nod with satisfaction: "Qing Zhen Zhen humerus!" ”

Ji Di's Shang Shu order, Liu Che used it very easily, no matter how big or small the matter, Ji Di could do it for Liu Che in time.

But......

Liu Che looked at Ji Di and asked, "Has Aiqing ever thought about going out to be a county guard?" ”

This is also an issue that Liu Che has always been concerned about.

In the future, Ji Di will definitely not be able to do this Shangshu order all the time.

This is not only bad for his own development and future, but also bad for the country.

After all, his position is too sensitive and he touches too many things.

If he occupies Shang Shuling's position for a long time, even if Liu Che can trust him, I'm afraid that others may not be able to trust him.

You must know that now, although the rank ratio of Shang Shuling is quasi-two thousand stones.

However, the authority is comparable to that of the three princes, and the people in the market call them 'little ministers'.

Because, Shang Shuling does almost everything and does everything.

Internally, Shang Shuling is responsible for leading Shang Shulang to connect with the three princes and nine secretaries, as well as the counties and states of the world, and summarize all the notes and documents.

Except for the notes of a few people and the notes of those who have the right to play directly, all other people's reports and notes need to be passed on to Liu Che through Shang Shuling.

And the number of recitals that Liu Che watches every day is definitely limited.

This means that Ji Di can actually decide whose recital can immediately come to Liu Che, and whose recital will sink into the documents of Lantai, and even be buried in the archives of Shiqu Pavilion, and there will never be a day!

Externally, Lantai's responsibilities are even greater.

Almost all the invitations of the foreign feudal clans must go to Lantai.

In addition, the Lantai scholars would study the current situation of the feudal kingdom.

This means that as long as Kidian plays with words, he is likely to determine the future of a vassal or even a vassal state.

When Ji Di heard this, he hurriedly said: "Everything is only the order of His Majesty......"

Of course, he was reluctant to leave Shang Shuling's position.

In this position, he not only got a great exercise, but also broadened his horizons and thought through many issues that he could not understand in the past.

Ji Di even felt that if he stayed in this position for twenty or thirty years, he might be able to become a top scholar like Lao Tzu, Yin Wenzi, and Shenzi.

But he is also aware that in the current Han family, all positions have term limits.

Prime Minister Zhou Yafu is said to set an example and give his way in advance.

Even the hard-working prime minister needs to be like this, let alone his little shrimp?

Liu Che looked at Ji Di and said: "Henan County Shou Chen Wenming is about to pay tribute to Shi, I plan to let Qing go to Henan for a trip......"

Henan is currently one of the three regions that Liu Che is most concerned about.

The other two are Anton and Nanyang.

Nanyang is China's largest state-owned heavy industry base, starting from this year, the annual iron production is likely to exceed 1.5 million catties, and at the same time, it can also produce 100,000 catties of refined iron and about 30,000 catties of crude steel.

The pig iron output in this place alone is at least 30,000 tons by the standard of later generations.

It has already reached the total annual pig iron production of Britain on the eve of the Industrial Revolution!

However, such an output is far from enough for a behemoth like China!

Just for the army, the annual demand for pig iron is hundreds of thousands of catties!

In terms of agriculture, the demand for at least millions of catties of pig iron shows that Nanyang's heavy industry base is far from taking shape!

And Anton is not to mention, where the germ of the future Chinese-style bourgeoisie and colonialism has already been bred.

But Henan County is a different template.

Today, when the Grand Canal was not dug today, Luoyang in Henan County is the hub of the north-south transportation network in the world.

The business atmosphere of those days has been very developed since ancient times.

The famous idiom 'high debts' is enough to prove that this place was already a commercial area as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

In recent years, with the development of Andong and the rise of Nanyang's industry, the environment of Henan County has become more and more complicated.

Previously, Liu Che had sent Zhidu to sit in the local area, and reluctantly, suppressed the local landlord Haoqiang and aristocratic scholars.

But as soon as Zhidu left, the local landlords Haoqiang and scholars re-raised their heads.

Let's take a look at the Chongmin School......

People are blatantly shouting that 'the wind can enter, the rain can enter, and the county road cannot enter', and it is necessary to protect the safety of private property.

This is certainly not possible in China, at least for now, and is destined to be a joke.

Therefore, Liu Che plans to let Ji Dian go over and educate them well.

At the same time, it also has the meaning of exercising.

After all, if you can gain a firm foothold in Henan County, it means that you can gain a firm foothold in the court.

Don't believe it!

This is indeed a fact!

Since the Han Dynasty, he has served as the county guard of Henan County, but as long as he has made political achievements, he will eventually enter Chang'an and become a courtier or even Jiuqing!

In this respect, Henan County is the magic capital of the Western Han Dynasty.

Well done, sooner or later you can get into normal!

However, the local hornet's nest is also famous, and if you are not careful, you will get into trouble.

The people of Luoyang have been very arrogant since ancient times!

Ji Huang naturally knows that Henan is a litmus test.

And it is the highest touchstone in the world!

Therefore, he immediately bowed and said, "Please select your majesty's brigadiers and chief officials from among the Lantai......

Liu Che naturally nodded.

………………………………………………

Half an hour later, Liu Che saw his three princes and nine kings in the Xuanshu Palace.

After the ministers bowed, they took their seats.

And Liu Che, as usual, picked up the report submitted by the ministers of Jiuqing and read it.

Now, it's summer May.

The harvest of winter wheat is approaching, so the reports of the Shaofu, the Great Farmer, and the Prime Minister's Office are all about ensuring the harvest of winter wheat.

In Guanzhong, it doesn't take much effort.

Because Guanzhong has the most developed bureaucratic system in the whole world.

For example, although there is still some time before the winter wheat harvest, the official warehouses under the jurisdiction of Shaofu and Da Nong are all ready.

All the soldiers drawn from the army have also been put in place.

But in the north and Kanto, this matter will undoubtedly test the organization and coordination ability of the Han family.

After all, in addition to harvesting, collecting taxes and warehousing, it is also necessary to step up supervision and encouragement for the people to plant soybeans and other crops.

As the planting area of winter wheat continued to expand, such things gradually became the main annual work of the Han government.

Liu Che finished reading the reports of the Shaofu and the Great Farmers and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then instructed: "The people take food as the sky, and the Zhuqing must strengthen the preparation for the winter wheat harvesting and warehousing work in Yanzhao and the Daishang area!" ”

"No!" The ministers naturally bowed their heads.

"In my meaning, the big farmer, the young mansion and the prime minister's mansion, and the Zhu Cao have a division yamen, so you might as well send a team each, led by the chief officer of the Zhu Si Cao, to go to the counties and countries respectively to supervise the people......"

"No!" In this regard, the ministers have no opinion.

The Han family is not like the Song and Ming dynasties, the scholars and doctors do not like to go to the grassroots level, and they will not feel that it is humiliating to go to the place to do things in person.

On the contrary, the Huang Lao faction and the Legalists, who are currently the main body of the bureaucracy, are very fond of the grassroots.

Don't look at the old school Huang is usually lazy, doing this kind of thing, the enthusiasm is particularly high!

Historically, Ki Dian has gone down to the county many times to preside over disaster relief and relief.

Even in order to help the victims, he did not hesitate to be overbearing, taking his own life to save the people.

After the work of winter wheat was arranged, Liu Che shifted the topic to another important topic and asked: "This year's examination is imminent, what do you think about this year's examination?" ”

Nearly seven years have passed since the first examination was held.

In the past seven years, tens of thousands of young people have entered the officialdom through examinations.

They have gradually become a force to be reckoned with in the current Han political arena.

Naturally, the attitude of the government and the opposition towards the examination has become more and more important.

The examination has even replaced the annual Great Court Discussion as the most concerned thing in the world.

For the poor scholars, of course, they are more concerned about the fairness, justice and transparency of the examination.

But for the vast number of princes and nobles and the two thousand stone meat eaters, they are undoubtedly more concerned about the fat shortages released by the annual examination.

For example, the servants, scholars, and confessors in the court.

as well as the clerks of important departments such as the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial Historian's Yamen, the Che Cavalry General's Xingyuan, the Shaofu, and the Imperial Lieutenant.

Over the years, the princes and nobles have become accustomed to their congenital preferential treatment and extra points.

As for fairness and justice? What is it? Is it tasty?

As a result, the contradiction between the Hanmen and the nobles was triggered.

Although this contradiction is not visible now, in the foreseeable future, something will happen sooner or later!

Moreover, Liu Che dared to conclude that it must be Xungui who won first and then lost.

The reason is very simple, the force and power in the hands of the nobles are far beyond the reach of the poor scholars.

But the resilience and terrifying potential of the humble scholars must be beyond the reach of the nobles.

What's more, within Xungui, I am afraid that there will also be people who sympathize with the poor scholars.

In order not to oppose Xungui and Hanmen in the future, and make a Western Han version of the Niu Li Party dispute, Liu Che decided to reform the examination system.

Anyway, this system was created by him, so it is natural that it can be reformed as he pleases.

And as soon as the ministers heard this, they naturally understood.

Because in the past, the Son of Heaven never asked them about their thoughts about the examination before the examination.

Naturally, the ministers all bowed their heads and said: "The ministers are only the order of His Majesty!" ”

In such a major event, the emperor did not name him, who would dare to speak alone?

Liu Che smiled slightly, and said, "I plan to take an additional current affairs paper in the examination this year......

"The title is based on the major events in the world and the national edict since the Han Dynasty, and the scholars' understanding of the world is examined, so as to avoid the appearance of indiscriminate and full of generations......"

Liu Che never believes in such nonsense as staying at home, but he knows the general trend of the world!

A very simple truth, a dead house, staying at home, facing books every day, what bullshit world trend can he know?

Liu Che even felt that he might not even be able to figure out the general trend in the village!

What's more, as the emperor, Liu Che certainly needs all officials in the world to be able to understand his will and thoughts, and to align with the entire bureaucracy at any time.

Then, what could be compared to the great weapon of the Celestial Empire in the later generations - learning to comprehend the spirit of the superiors?

In the past, Liu Che had already tried to add some questions about current affairs to the examination.

For example, the edict of Jiazi, Taizong's "Edict of the People" and so on, have always been required questions.

Now, it's not too much to take these things on their own as a subject.

Yes, all the ministers said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are respectfully ordered!" ”

"Besides......" Liu Che tapped the back of his hand and said, "I intend to cancel the bonus points for all the princes and the two thousand stone disciples, and only keep the extra points for the clan, the descendants of the righteous and the descendants of the loyal ministers......"

Liu Che looked at everyone with a smile: "What is your opinion?" ”

How can there be no opinion?

You must know that in the past, when there were two thousand stones and the option of adding points to the nobles, the ministers could guarantee that even if their son was a straw bag, they could come back and pretend to be x as a test scholar.

Now, however, this policy is tantamount to blocking this road.

However......

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you are a little afraid to speak.

The reason is very simple, the political arena of the Han dynasty is no longer the political arena of the first year of Yuande and the period of the first emperor.

In the past six years or so, the political arena has undergone earth-shaking changes, the most notable of which is the fall of dozens of liehou families and the rise of new military nobles.

These emerging military nobles are undoubtedly the hardcore and brainless fans of the Son of Heaven.

As a result, the current aristocratic bureaucracy is no longer capable of asserting its privileged position as it was in the past.
