After finalizing all the details of the formation of the General Staff, Oscar had to face another practical problem; That is, the official system of the Augustan family is too chaotic, and it is difficult to really sort out the official system of the Augustan family.

Ever since the House of Augustus was officially self-reliant, the House of Augustus had been using the bureaucratic system customary to this world and the Roman Republic; The so-called system of governors, the names of officials, and so on, were all determined on this basis.

Oscar himself, on the other hand, continued to implement a new style of bureaucratic reform in the Augustan family; Either appointing new officials or changing the terms of reference of existing officials is to completely disrupt the original official system.

After the destruction of the original bureaucratic system, Oscar never formally established the new official system of the Augustan family; This directly led to the chaos of the Augustan family's official system and government system.

Of course, such a chaotic system of officials did not show obvious flaws and loopholes when the territory of the Augustan family was only the province of Sardinia; However, with the continuous expansion of the Augustan family, this chaotic system is not conducive to the further development of the Augustan family and the improvement of the entire government system.

This also means that if the Augustan family does not reform its official system and government system as soon as possible; Then the development of the entire Augustan family will be restricted by its own institutional defects, which will affect the growth of the Augustan family's strength.

In fact, long after the Augustan family conquered the Balearic Islands and the province of Betica, Oscar noticed the loopholes in this official system within the Augustan family; However, this institutional problem is not so easy to solve.

It is not easy to form a complete and rigorous system of officials; So far, there are only three most organized institutions of the Augustan family, namely the Tragic Dead, the Jinyi Guard, and the General Staff.

The formation of the Tragic Dead has nothing to do with Oscar, it is an intelligence organization created by the ancestors of the Augustus family for two hundred years, and the process of its formation is completely unrepeatable and difficult to imitate.

The two organizations of Jinyiwei and the General Staff are even more unlikely to become models for the formation and improvement of the official system; The reason is also very simple, the former is an invisible, the latter is a purely military organization, and both are the wisdom of others copied by Oscar.

The Jinyi Guard Organization, that is a peerless beast that the Ming Empire spent two hundred years slowly grinding in; And the General Staff, which is the German nation's powerful military history, cast the myth of the army, which Oscar borrowed.

More importantly, both of these institutions have never existed in this world; Oscar establishes them, and only needs people to recognize them, and does not need to break people's original perceptions.

However, this is not the case with the formation of a new system of officials; The people of this world have long been accustomed to the original official system, and it takes a lot of time and energy to completely break this system and establish a new official system of the Augustan family.

Of course, for the prosperity and strength of the Augustan family, Oscar is willing to spend more time and energy; This is also the reason why Oscar has been slowly changing the official system of the Augustan family.

It's just that sometimes Oscar's approach is not necessarily correct, and it is also possible that Oscar's decision will also have a negative impact on the Augustus family; For example, it is Oscar's practice of slowly changing the official system.

Although Oscar's original intention was to slowly change the original official system, so that people gradually accepted a new official system; However, this practice has invisibly turned the official system of the Augustan family into such a mess that now Oscar must put the official system of the Augustan family on the agenda that must be solved.

Thankfully, this time Oscar didn't bother to figure out how to solve the problem, and he began to habitually discuss with Mary the establishment of a new bureaucratic system for the Augustan family.

According to Oscar's idea, it is better for the official system of the Augustan family to adopt the system of three provinces and six ministries in Chinese history; After all, it was a complete system of officials that countless politicians in ancient China had spent thousands of years summarizing.

It's just that the officials of the House of Augustus and the people under their rule must not be able to understand the official names of ancient China; Therefore, how to transform the system of three provinces and six ministries in ancient China into the official system of the Augustan family is the real key.

The system of three provinces and six ministries is a set of well-organized central bureaucratic system in ancient Chinese feudal society; It was established in the Sui Dynasty, and from then until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the six-part system was basically unchanged. For the three-province system, Shangshu Province was formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty (then known as Shangshutai); The Zhongshu Province and the Menxia Province were formed during the Three Kingdoms with the aim of dividing and limiting the power of the Shangshu Province.

In the process of development, the organizational form and power evolved, and it was not until the Sui Dynasty that it was unified into three provinces and six ministries, which were mainly responsible for the formulation, review and implementation of central decrees and policies; The rulers of different periods made some adjustments and additions that were conducive to strengthening the centralization of power.

The three provinces are: Shangshu Province - the highest administrative body, responsible for the implementation of important state decrees; Ministries - deliberative bodies, responsible for reviewing decrees; Zhongshu Province - the decision-making body responsible for drafting and issuing the emperor's edicts.

The province was mainly responsible for discussing the drafting of bills with the emperor and drafting the emperor's edicts. The Ministry of Menxia is responsible for reviewing the contents of the edict and returning it to the Ministry of Zhongshu as appropriate. These two ministries are decision-making bodies, and the decrees passed through review are handed over to the province of Shangshu for enforcement.

The six ministries are, namely, the Ministry of Officials: responsible for the assessment, appointment and dismissal of officials below the fourth grade; Household Department: responsible for finance and treasury; Ministry of Rites: responsible for tribute, sacrifices, and ceremonies; Military Department: responsible for military affairs; Criminal Department: responsible for judicial and auditing affairs; Ministry of Engineering: responsible for engineering construction.

The establishment of the entire system of three provinces and six ministries was of extraordinary significance to the politics of ancient China. To sum up, there are three points: First, the feudal bureaucracy has formed a complete and rigorous system, improved administrative efficiency, and strengthened the ruling power of the central government.

Second, the power of the prime minister was divided into three, and the governors of the three provinces were of lower rank, which weakened the power of the prime minister and strengthened the imperial power. In the Qin and Han dynasties, the prime minister assisted the emperor in handling national political affairs, and was in the position of "under one person, above ten thousand".

Whenever the emperor is incompetent, the prime minister may be autocratic. The establishment of the system of three provinces and six ministries, with three parts of power, is conducive to solving the contradiction between imperial power and relative power, and strengthens imperial power; At the same time, the number of parliamentarians has been expanded, and the effect of brainstorming has been obtained;

Third, there was a clear division of responsibilities among the ministries, which was conducive to the centralization of power by the emperor and the implementation of government decrees, improved administrative efficiency, and gave full play to the effectiveness of state institutions.

The three-province six-ministry system was a major change in the history of China's bureaucracy, which marked the maturity of the feudal political system. Since then, this system has largely been followed by successive dynasties.

With the current state of the Augustan family, there is naturally no need to disperse the power of the prime minister; But the near-demise of the Maxentius family and the rise of Marius are examples of things like this.

In fact, there was no need for the Augustan family to copy exactly this well-organized system of three provinces and six ministries; In Oscar's view, the Augustan family only needed to form a specific departmental system, and there was no need for the three provinces to exist.

After all, in this world, there are no more complex power issues than in ancient China, and there is no overly large ruling area and population; All the Augustus needed was how to establish a sound system of officials.

However, how to establish a Roman version of the new official system according to this perfect system of three provinces and six ministries is the key to Oscar's consultation with Mary; If the officials and the people at the bottom do not accept this new bureaucratic system, then all the efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, how to transform the system of three provinces and six ministries in ancient China into the Roman official system of the Augustan family has become the core problem of solving the official system of the Augustan family.

Merely changing the name of an official will never solve this problem completely; According to the actual situation of the world, the key to solving the problem is to make appropriate adjustments to the powers of officials in various departments, and Oscar must also add or remove some officials.

For example, the governorship of this world is an official position that is not in the system of three provinces and six ministries; However, the Augustan family must set up this official position and make a specific division of powers and responsibilities for this position, which is a headache for Oscar.

In addition, the system of three provinces and six ministries matched the official hierarchy in ancient China; And the current Augustan family officials do not have a clear hierarchy, which is also one of the problems that Oscar must solve.

In fact, the existence of this problem is also a common problem of all forces in this world; When Oscar established the district and county system before, in order to clarify the specific rank of officials, he even used the position of centurion and captain of the army as the standard for measuring the rank of officials, which was really helpless!

This also means that it is urgent and necessary for Oscar to implement the reform of the Augustusian family's new official system as soon as possible; Otherwise, the future development of the Augustan family will inevitably be constrained by the existing institutional defects! (To be continued.) )
