"If Mr. is an official in the court, what advice do you have for me as a general of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Lizhi seemed to ask Ma Zhou casually.

From the beginning of the meeting, she intended to test Ma Zhou's talents, and at the same time, she was also establishing her image and status as a "hundred horsemen", rather than just a simple princess.

In the past, the so-called "knowing horses and feeding horses" was just a dismount.

You must know that Ma Zhou is not as good as those hundred cavalry soldiers, Li Lizhi learned from Chang He that this person is arrogant and arrogant, and if he doesn't take out something real, I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress him.

What could be better than Luo Tai Sui's words?

The language is not shocking and endless, Luo Taisui's style has always been like this.

On the other side, Ma Zhou thought slightly when he heard this.

With his intelligence, how could he not understand that this was a test of his sense of smell in governance.

At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Luntai Guilty Edict" was at the end of the cloud cloud, "the county country has 2,000 stones, each of which is advanced to the animal and horses, and the side is slightly supplemented, and the plan is right", which means that the officials who eat 2,000 stones are required to give horse political advice.

The little princess in front of her must have this intention.

After thinking about it thoroughly, Ma Zhou completely let go of his slackness, and stated unhurriedly: "I think that at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, I got 2,000 Turkic horses, and 3,000 Sui horses in Chi'anze. ”

After a pause, he said: "The supervisor is under the jurisdiction of the Taifu Temple, which not only has the supervision of various ministries, but also the Chenghuang Department, the Warden Office, the Warden Office, the Chefu Department, and the Shayuan Supervisor, etc., who are in charge of the national horse administration.

All in all, the Taifu Temple has two functions, one is to be in charge of the royal horses, rides, and chariots, and the other is to be in charge of the national horse and sheep registration, as well as responsible for the examination of various pastoral officials. ”

He talked eloquently, which showed that he knew the affairs of the court well.

Li Lizhi also bowed slightly while listening.

She has only had a cursory understanding of the so-called three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons, and the distribution of their functions is not clear.

Ma Zhou's words were concise and to the point, which immediately gave her a preliminary understanding of Ma Zheng in the Tang Dynasty.

The foundation of Ma Zheng lies in the supervision of the shepherds, that is, the low-level official horse farms, which are governed by the Taifu Temple, one of the nine temples, and the two form the prototype of the Tang Dynasty Ma Zheng.

Just thinking about it, I heard Ma Zhou continue: "In addition, Ma Zheng is also involved in the driving department.

The driving department is subordinate to the military department, one of the six departments of Shangshu Province, and is in charge of all the public opinions, chariots, and posts in the world, as well as the country's transmission and post stations, and is also responsible for the books of livestock and the examination of pastoral officials.

In this way, there is a clear overlap between the boundaries of the Taifu Temple and the driving department. ”

Really......

Li Lizhen nodded again.

Not to mention the public opinion and the car, it is only the books in charge of livestock and the examination of the pastoral officials, and the functions and powers of the Taifu Temple and the driving department are indeed in conflict.

"The reason for this is that Ma Zheng is a major matter of the country, and it is impossible to let one department monopolize power, and it must be divided into divisions in order to restrain each other."

Ma Zhou began to explain the reason: "Moreover, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the official structure has become increasingly large, and the official system is inevitably chaotic. My Tang Dynasty inherited the official system of the previous dynasty, although there are streamlining and improvements, it is impossible to cover everything......"

After a pause, he said: "Actually, I have been exquisite, and I found that although the functions of the Taifu Temple and the driving department overlapped, they each had their own emphasis.

The driving department focuses on horse government decrees and books, and its power is relatively empty, while the Taifu Temple focuses on 'the appropriateness of storage and the number of sins', and is directly in charge of horse production, and the power is relatively real. ”

In fact, not only the Taifu Temple and the driving department, but also many official positions in the six departments of the three provinces and the five superintendents of the nine temples have similar situations, mixing with each other, restraining each other, and supervising each other.

The divergence of official power meant that imperial power was more centralized.

Ma Zhou felt that he had spoken explicit enough, and it was inconvenient to go any further.

However, Li Li is so smart, coupled with the fact that Deluo Tai Sui analyzed the emperor's technique not long ago, he naturally understands.

"As you said, there seems to be a conflict between the powers of the Taifu Temple and the Dianzhong Province." Li Lizhi is not only quick-witted, but also can draw inferences.

The palace province is responsible for the royal family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and other trivial matters, so she is naturally no stranger.

In addition, the horses used by the hundred horses are the "six idle horses".

The so-called "six leisure", one is "left and right flying yellow leisure", two is "left and right Jiliang leisure", three is "left and right dragon media leisure", four is "left and right leisure and leisure", five is said "left and right leisure and left and right Tianyuan leisure".

The six stables on the left and right are responsible for the breeding and training of the royal horses, and are under the jurisdiction of the AMTD Bureau under the jurisdiction of the province in the palace.

So Li Lizhen has a lot of understanding about this.

"The princess is right." Ma Zhou smiled faintly and nodded: "Taifu Temple provides the imperial horse, and the AMTD Bureau is responsible for breeding and training, these two affairs are already coherent and inseparable, but now they are under the control of two official offices that are not subordinate to each other, which naturally has many disadvantages.

Plus there's also a prince's servant temple......"

Li Lizhi looked directly at Ma Zhou and said, "In this case, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

The so-called disadvantages of acupuncture, since the other party pointed out the "disadvantages of the times" of the imperial court, it naturally considered the plan of "acupuncture".

Ma Zhou shook his hand and said in a deep voice: "I think that if the saint is determined to make every effort to develop Ma Zheng, he can concentrate all affairs in one place, set up a special person to take charge, and seek practical results, so that my Tang Ma Zheng will be a thousand miles a day, limitless!" ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

A thousand miles a day?

Although this statement is sonorous and powerful, it is a bit exaggerated.

However, arranging a person to be responsible for the implementation of the horse administration not only avoids the drawbacks of various ministries hindering each other, but also makes the connection of all aspects of the horse administration more smooth, which is a good policy.

Ma Zhou really has some ability, and he is by no means a mediocre talent.

Available!

Li Lizhen made a judgment in her heart.

At the same time, she was also very curious, with Ma Zhou's ability, how is it compared to Luo Datou?

It's impossible to be evenly divided, and it's already very good to be able to reach half of Luo Datou.

She subconsciously thought so.

"Sir's suggestion, I will inform my father on my behalf." Li Lizhi had a plan in her heart, "Now that I am in charge of a hundred horses for the first time, I am waiting to make a difference, Mr. can temporarily take the position of Changshi in my position, I don't know what to do?" ”

She said it very directly, and did not put on any appearance of Corporal Lixian.

Ma Zhou is familiar with political affairs, and it is obvious that he has plans to become an official in the court.

His coming to see Princess Li Lizhi of Changle this time is the best proof of this.

And Li Lizhi is also confident that Ma Zhou will not be buried.

The reason is very simple, although Changshi is only a sixth-grade official, but he is in a hundred horses, following a favored princess, maybe when he will be able to meet the current saint.

The truth that the building near the water gets the moon first, everyone who understands it.

However, Li Lizhen did not take a six-grade official position in his eyes, which does not mean that others do not take it seriously.

After all, it is impossible for officials to worship the prime minister and a very popular minister overnight, and not everyone can do it.

Ma Zhou jumped from the body of cloth clothes to the sixth grade, which was beyond his expectations.

At the last moment, he was still depressed in Changfu and had no ambition, but in the blink of an eye, he stood in a position that others might not be able to reach for years, decades, or even a lifetime.

The time of life is really unpredictable!

I saw Ma Zhou leaning over slightly and arching his hand: "Ma Zhou should be exhausted, and he will not give up!" ”
