Chapter 231: Political Clarity
The news of the direct dissolution of Zhongshu Province not only surprised the eldest prince, but also shocked the civil and military officials.
After all, this system has existed for hundreds of years, which is equivalent to something left by the ancestors, how can it be said that it will be dissolved?
Although they knew that after the dissolution of the Zhongshu Province, there would definitely be other organizations to replace it, but could this kind of restructuring really be appropriate?
"Before, Xuanyuan came back and talked to me about the restructuring of the Chinese book province, and I felt that what Xuanyuan said was very reasonable. ”
"This world, after all, is going to move towards Datong, and if this Datong world still retains its bureaucratic style, it will be too ridiculous. ”
"Officials, for the well-being of the people, should not only care about their own selfishness. ”
"Political affairs are the prosperity of the country, not personal likes and dislikes!"
"Politics is the heart of politics, and the focus is on governance. ”
"However, what I see is only politics, but not governance. ”
This phantom is sonorous and thought-provoking, and the eldest prince at this time is already in a cold sweat.
The partisan struggle between the two princes in Yunjing had long been dissatisfied, but this kind of partisan struggle was still able to stimulate the fighting in that environment at that time.
Although it may seem a little despicable to engage in partisanship in wartime, the contention at that time was a denunciation of the enemy on the border.
At that time, the princelings and scholars had fierce disputes and struggles over the border issue, and this struggle was not passive, but conducive to arousing fighting spirit.
It is also because of their struggle, whether it is in terms of strategy or in the development of formations, both of which have undergone tremendous changes and improvements.
Therefore, this kind of relatively active struggle is actually what the Zongjia family is more willing to see, and it is also a kind of gradual upward struggle.
No matter who wins this struggle, it will be able to promote the growth of the cloud empire's national strength, so this struggle is more meaningful.
However, this kind of struggle gradually evolved into a tug-of-war between each other's forces!
Behind the tug-of-war of forces, there is actually a competition for capital, which allows the Yuan family to directly take this opportunity to directly occupy half of the empire's market.
As a result, all aspects of the current empire are affected by the Yuan family, which makes the Zong family feel a little constrained.
Even, he also had some kind of doubt, is this world his world, or the world of this Yuan family?
The Yuan family, which has huge economic power and market share, has gradually broken away from the control of the Zong family and gradually turned into a cancer.
This is all due to the dispute between the princelings and the scholars.
The dispute between their two parties, since it evolved into a tug-of-war between power and capital, has been targeted by the Yuan family.
Taking advantage of the gap between the two parties, the Yuan family began to develop rapidly in various states, and the resources of each state formed a situation of encirclement of Yunjing.
And the competition between the princelings and the scholars, the most lacking thing is not talent, nor is it the competition of the strong.
Over the years, they have been a competition for money.
Although the two princes appeared to be antagonistic on the surface, in fact, the two of them had reached a consensus.
However, there are big flaws in the operation below.
Over the years, whether it is the castle tower or the Chushu Province, it has been difficult to fight for resources.
Although the upper echelons of the two organizations didn't really care about this matter, the middle and lower members of these two organizations suffered greatly!
The system was not perfect, so they had little room to rise, and the middle and lower level clerks and researchers of the Chushu Province and the castle tower fell into the investment trap of the Yuan family.
With the blessing of these two forces, the Yuan family is like a giant beast, sweeping all the large and small shops in Yunjing, leaving an indelible figure in the establishment and development of all shops.
It was at this time that Yuanjing Qianzhuang really showed his rich and domineering side!
As a result, a large part of the scientific research funds and operating funds obtained by the Zhongshu Province and the Castle Tower went into the pockets of the Yuan family!
This act of sucking blood made the Yuan family the biggest vampire in the empire, and completed the terrifying accumulation of capital.
"Only when politics is clear can we reach Datong, this kind of meaningless struggle can only make villains gain ambition and make people completely slaves!"
"For a long time, the ancestors of the Cloud Empire have pursued a policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce, and in the past fifty years, due to frequent border wars, they have had to reform the system of heavy commerce. ”
Unexpectedly, this merchant was pervasive, not only infiltrating the politics of the empire, but also eating away at civil and military officials. ”
The Zong family glanced over, and among the civil and military officials present, there were people whose faces were already a little wrong.
This Yuanjing money village was very hot before, and among these officials, there were indispensable people who invested money in it.
They didn't even think about what was behind this huge gain?
What Yuanjing Qianzhuang exploits is not only the interests of the empire, but also the interests of small merchants, small civilians, and border military resources!
Although the establishment of the Yuanjing Chamber of Commerce was to stabilize logistics and support the front line, after the end of the war, he began to show his fangs and suck blood wildly!
"Your Majesty Mingjian!"
There are already many civil and military officials who have knelt down, and these civil and military officials are the ones who were forced to eat bran by the Yuanjing Chamber of Commerce.
Relying only on the official family's wealth, they could not survive better under the prices controlled by the Yuan family, and in the crazy expansion of the Yuan family, they were the most difficult group of people.
Before the end of the war, the Yuan family controlled prices, which not only raised prices to an unbelievable level, but also played the slogan of exclusively supplying the border.
During that time, not to mention the officials, among the common people, many people starved to death!
If it weren't for the decisiveness of the eight counties of Zhongzhou Mu and the vigorous agricultural expansion movement directly carried out in the eight counties, I am afraid that the prices in Yunjing would have been controlled by this Yuan family so far!
"Therefore, the restructuring must be restructured. ”
"When Xuanyuan returned earlier, he told me a lot of interesting things. ”
"The people are the water, the king is the boat, the ship is on the water, the water can carry the boat, or it can overturn the boat. ”
His remarks are quite meaningful, I am familiar with poetry and books, and I have some opinions on this matter. ”
"I've listened to the advice of scholars for too long, and I've listened to officials for too long, and my ears are a little calloused!"
"I want to hear the voice of the general public, and I want to hear the sound of the water carrying the boat. ”
"After the dissolution of Zhongshu Province, the original officials will be retained and new institutions will be re-established!"
"The things that carry the boat are the vast and boundless water, and the politics are all directed to Datong!"
"This new organization, I named it: Tiantongfu!"
As soon as the heavenly palace came out, all the ministers chanted:
"Your Majesty. ”
Tiantong Mansion, the so-called political clarity, the world is the same!
Tiantongfu retains the original six books and establishes eight mansions.
The six procuratorates are still in their original establishment, but the chief position has been changed from one scholar to one squire.
One scholar, two squires, and three ministers.
Shangshu officials are from the first grade, the official position of the squire is from the second grade, and the official position of the minister is from the third grade.
After the restructuring of the Zhongshu Province, Shangshu was only responsible for decision-making, and the people who really worked were transferred from Shangshu to Shilang.
Moreover, the age of these scholars is also adjusted every few years, as proposed by the eldest prince.
Seven of these eight prefectures are still in their original configuration, and the extra institution is called the People's Opinion Office.
This public opinion house is different from the other seven provinces, there is no book, no waiters, only the representatives of the general public are arranged to participate in this public opinion house!
Every year, the Public Opinion Office holds a general meeting that gathers 81 representatives from Kyushu.
These representatives came to Yunjing for a meeting to discuss the current situation in the land of Kyushu.
They are the voices of the people that the family wants to hear.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
The civil and military officials all praised the superiority of this system, and the Zong family also admired the Heng family who could come up with this system.
Although what the Heng family said was something weird about the people's representatives, the Zong family didn't understand it at all.
However, it basically means listening to the voices of the people at the bottom.
So, let this public opinion office be responsible for collecting the voices of the people.
Moreover, what did the great prince say about establishing the so-called advisory cabinet, which is completely a pension institution!
This empire has cultivated their group of Shangshu for so many years, but it is not for them to live here when they are old.
Just let them be the permanent members of this public opinion office!
After all, these old guys are better able to handle the more difficult part of public opinion.
Give it to them, it's a good fit!
"Your Majesty, the minister still has something important to play!"
General Xiao Ding stepped forward and said:
"Now that the war on the frontier has been decided, the generals of Zhongzhou have nothing else to do except for daily defense and development of production. ”
"The four major families of Zhongzhou Mu have played a huge role in the war, especially the Mo family, and they have made great contributions to the war!"
"The minister implored that Mo Tianxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Sun Tiancano, the secretary of the Ministry of War, be transferred from Tiantong Mansion and re-establish the Military Executive Yuan in Zhongzhou Munei. ”
"The four major families of Zhongzhou Mu are in charge of one courtyard respectively, and they are served by the heads of each family, and they enjoy the treatment of lieutenant generals!"
"In addition, Zhongzhou Mu reorganized the mechanism of the Hidden Dragon Society to strengthen the control of the dark department of the empire. ”
"I hope Your Majesty will grant permission. ”
General Xiao Ding's proposal is also very pertinent.
The reform of Zhongshu Province and the reform of the castle tower, if he didn't join in the fun, wouldn't he be a little too much?
Therefore, if you change yours, he will also change it slightly!
Not to mention anything else, these four families have to give them a good name!
The Military Executive Yuan, this head is still relatively loud, and it is also relatively pretentious.
Then these patriarchs can be called deans!
"Quasi-play. ”
The Zong family waved his hand directly, Xiao Ding knelt down, and thanked Lord Longen.
"The pastor of Zhongzhou will definitely devote himself to seeking development for the empire!"
This is almost everything that should be changed, and the rest should be to discuss the two things that happened in the future.
The incident that was unexpected by the Qi scholars, as well as the death of Yu Qiu, the Palm Sect of the Lu Immortal Palace.
"In the past few days of my retreat, two unpleasant things have happened. ”
"Frankly speaking, I definitely don't want this to happen. ”
"I am saddened by the accident of this Qi scholar, but here I would like to criticize the castle tower by name!"
This criticism by name, where did the Zong family learn these words?
At the beginning, the Heng family came back from Yandong, and specially found a trip to the Zongjia, and in the Qianqing Hall of the Cloud Palace, the Heng family specially said these four words.
What to say, he wants to criticize this Lu Cheng by name!
actually bargained with his family and played shamelessly, which is really a bit misbehaving!
Subsequently, the Zong family learned this word from this Heng family and criticized it by name.
"For Yang Ming, it is not an exaggeration to have the heart to win over, but you must also pay attention to a degree!"
"This Yang Ming was originally the person in charge of Lu Chengqincha, and I was very surprised that the castle tower crossed Lu Qincha and directly interfered with Yang Ming. ”
"The castle tower is a place where literati gather, and it is ridiculous that it has done such a thing without etiquette!"
"Regarding the cause of Qi Heng's death, no matter what caused it, in short, I will send someone to investigate this matter!"
After the Zong family finished speaking, the eldest prince took a step forward and said:
"Father, my son has something to say. ”
This great prince has made a lot of speeches today!
The second prince next to him took a good look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he said much more today than usual.
I don't know if it's a problem pointed out by Master Lin, or his own problem, all in all, this prince definitely has something wrong recently.
It is human nature to want to get out of the circle and soar, but his sudden enthusiasm really makes the second prince a little strange.
There is a high probability that Master Lin asked him to do this, but Master Lin did not let him do it before.
Every time, he copes with a few words casually, but this time he has become so attentive.
Didn't the second prince and the third prince put pressure on him?
Suddenly, the second prince thought of the best way to test the eldest prince!
Since the outside world thinks that they are incompatible, then really try to be incompatible with the eldest prince?
If there is really a situation in which the three princes compete for power, although the second prince will be dragged into this whirlpool, he will also be able to achieve his goal!
Moreover, he now has the spiritual treasure he asked for from Xunfeng Temple, so it should be absolutely no problem to protect himself.
Now the question is, what is this great prince going to say?
Regarding the accident case of Scholar Qi, Erchen summed up some doubts. ”
After speaking, the eldest prince took out a scroll and presented it directly.
After the Zong family picked up the scroll, the essence of the three clearings fell into deep thought after reading the information on the scroll.
"Scholar Xuanluo and Scholar Wang!"
The Zong family said, and from the crowd, Scholar Luo and Scholar Wang hurriedly walked out and knelt in front of the Zong family.
"I want to ask you two, has this Qi scholar been out since he descended from Tianheng Mountain?"
That's a tough question to answer.
To say that this outing must have been out, but the specific number of outings, they don't know.
If you inquire with the concierge of this Kunpeng Academy, you should be able to find the records of these times, after all, the movements of these scholars are recorded by special personnel.
"The frequency of this scholar going out last year was not small, because he studied the formation, which can be described as visiting all directions. ”
"But since the New Year, he has been bored in Kunpeng Courtyard and has never gone out, and even the meals are basically sent to the thirty-first floor by his assistant. ”
"Before his accident, the two of us only met him once, and that was the time when we discussed Yang Ming's matter. ”
It's indeed a little strange to say, but this Qi scholar is a person who loves to be lively.
Every year, he will participate in the poetry conference, not only did he not participate in the poetry conference this year, but he has not even shown his face since the New Year.
said that he was studying the formation, but this formation that had been studied for nearly a month was really a bit exaggerated.
"Thoroughly investigate all the records of Qi Heng's previous outings, and investigate Qi Heng's whereabouts in the second half of last year!"
"This matter will be handed over directly to the Criminal Department Mansion of Tiantong Mansion!"
"Li Han is here?"
The Zong family asked, Li Han came out of the queue and replied to the Zong family on one knee:
"The minister is here. ”
"Originally, the six Shangshu were basically old, and all of them retired and moved to the second line, and they were appointed as permanent directors of the People's Opinion Office. ”
"Originally, the squire was all promoted to Shangshu, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was still served by Jin Haishan Shangshu, and after cultivating a successor within three years, he could retire peacefully. ”
"Yes!"
All the people in the Tiantong Mansion said in unison, the matter of this Qi scholar is indeed strange, but it was actually revealed by the eldest prince.
This is very interesting, the second prince has been watching the abnormal behavior of the eldest prince, wondering how to test the eldest prince.
"Father, son-in-law also have something to say. ”
The second prince stepped forward and said.
"I thought you were dumb, why, the owner of the customs hall was unhappy?"
"When I returned to my father's words, I wasn't unhappy, but I recently found a new goal. ”
After the second prince finished speaking, the eldest prince raised his eyebrows and glanced at the second prince with the rest of his eyes.
"If it's a big goal, then go for it, and if it's a messy goal, forget it. ”
"Look at what you said, since the minister here has something to say, it is naturally a good thing. ”
I have to say that the level of these two princes is a little stronger than that of the eldest prince.
The eldest prince's words have always been very loud, but when His Majesty talks to the second prince, it really means a bit of homely chatter.
I don't know if the second prince is so humble, or if the two princes' ability to observe words and colors is really so ingenious.
"Erchen has been pondering recently, as soon as this Qi scholar dies, the formation research group of the castle tower will be missing a leader. ”
"The son thought about it, and it seemed that there was no one in the castle tower who could afford such a position. ”
So, there was an idea that had been bouncing in Erchen's mind for a long time. ”
"This Han Buxiao patriarch of the Han Sect of Zhongzhou Mu is here to be the master of this formation research group, but it is very suitable!"
Hiss......
As soon as the two princes finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of inhaling cold air in the air.
He said this, but he violated some unspeakable rules!
