Chapter 38: The Theory of the Official System, Easy and Casual [Second Update, Ask for Subscription]

Chen Ke was not surprised by this, the nine-grade official system was originally proposed by him, and it was appropriate for him to continue to improve it at this time.

If you ignore the brush that was tightly held in Chen Ke's hand and the unwilling words on his face, Fusu also believed what Chen Ke said.

Chen Ke rolled his eyes, looked at Fusu and said: "In fact, although it is difficult to determine the official system and the rank of officials, as long as there are two references, the rest will be easy to get." ”

"This reference, one is the official rank of the three dukes, and the other is the official rank of Xianyang City."

"The rank of the three princes is used to determine the rank of many other officials, and the rank of Xianyang City is used to determine the rank of the locality."

"Your Majesty, can you have someone bring the rank that Prime Minister Li Si drew up before?"

"Are there two of them?"

Fu Su bowed slightly, he looked at Chen Ke and said, "Teacher, my father has expected this, so he specially sent the rank drawn up by Prime Minister Li Cheng." ”

"After deliberation by the imperial court, my father and Prime Minister Li Cheng unanimously felt that the "Three Princes" could be "Zhengyipin", but in official positions, only Sangong could be Zhengyipin."

"Jiuqing and below, you can't even follow a product."

"Moreover, the letter sent by my father also said that if Prime Minister Li Cheng felt that each product only had two ranks, was it a little inappropriate?"

"Why don't you set up a "side product" between the first product and the second product."

"It is because there are three orders for one product and twenty-seven orders for nine products, so the division is more detailed."

Chen Ke frowned and thought about this matter carefully, and then shook his head slightly: "Actually, I also have a saying about the fine division, but it is only one to three products, and it is not appropriate to set it." ”

"On the contrary, it can be divided into more details below the fourth grade."

"If the first, second, and third grades are divided in too much detail, then there are too many people standing at the top."

Chen Ke drew a triangular symbol on the paper, then looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, look." ”

"Today's Daqin is this symbol."

"At the bottom is the head of Qian, then there are small officials, and at the top are the officials in the nine-grade official system."

Chen Ke pointed to the triangle and said: "The structure of power is like this triangle, the higher it goes, the smaller it is, and the smaller the people it can accommodate. ”

"At the top is Your Majesty, and below Your Majesty are the Three Princes, and below are the other officials."

Chen Ke said faintly: "Prime Minister Li Cheng's thinking is right, and he has indeed found His Majesty's thoughts. ”

"Because if there are only three princes in one product, then it is not a good thing for Your Majesty."

"It's not a good thing for Daqin."

"Because that means that the power of the three dukes is too great, and it may even threaten the imperial power at some point."

Fusu listened to Chen Ke's words, and was shocked: "Then what can the teacher do?" ”

Chen Ke pointed to the graphic and said, "Of course there is." ”

"Even the same thing as Lees's idea is to divide these powers."

"It's just that the specific methods we have in mind are different, and Li Si feels that we should divide the upper-level advanced channels a little more, so as to avoid too much concentration of power."

But in fact, he subconsciously ignored a direction.

The corners of Chen Ke's mouth pulled a smile, and the smile looked very cold: "Why do you want to set a little more levels, instead of a little more power differentiation?" ”

"Nowadays, the prime minister has too many things to deal with."

"No matter what kind of government affairs are carried out across the country, they actually have to go through the hands of the prime minister."

"Why not separate this power?"

"For example, if it is about people's livelihood, set up a department about people's livelihood, and about taxation, set up a department about taxation."

"For education, set up a department for education, and for research, set up a department for research."

"The rank of the heads of these departments is not high, and it can be set to the second grade."

"On the surface, the prime minister is actually still in control of these things, after all, the things handled by the officials of these departments still have to continue to be written."

"It's just that the prime minister has changed from a person who came up with an idea to a person who judges whether the idea is appropriate."

"He can't interfere in these matters in concrete terms, unless the emperor is too weak."

Chen Ke looked at Fusu and said, "In this way, it can also avoid the possibility that Your Majesty and Li Si thought, or even better than what he thought." ”

"It's just that Prime Minister Li Cheng is not completely selfish, because this method requires a lot of talents, and today's Daqin does not have such conditions."

Fusu nodded slightly: "The teacher is right." ”

"Do you want to do this?"

Chen Ke nodded: "Of course, if there is not enough manpower, we will slowly develop education and popularize manpower." ”

"What is not enough, we will create!"

"In ancient times, Yi was able to shoot down the nine days, and Emperor Yu was able to dig a canal to control the flood."

"We Chinese people have never relied on any gods, only rely on our own hands to create everything!"

Fusu listened enthusiastically, and he just wished that he could see that day as soon as possible.

Then he asked a key question: "Teacher, it is important for us to take out the local official ranks. ”

"It's better to set up these things later....."

Chen Ke lay on the table, like a wilted dish.

"The three princes are the first product, and the Jiuqing and other officials in all aspects of management are the second grade."

"These are the most important department heads."

"Then the deputies of these institutions are from the second rank, and some officials from the deputy down are the third rank."

"If I'm not mistaken, the Xianyang Order drawn up by Li Si should also be a three-product, right?"

Fusu immediately nodded: "Yes, teacher, Xianyang Ling is the third product." ”

Chen Ke said boredly: "That's easy to say, let's just sort out the framework first." ”

"I, the governor, am ad hoc, so I am also a positive third grade in terms of rank."

"But normally speaking, the rank of Xianyang City can be half a grade higher than that of the governor of the state, so Penglaizhou, that is, the governor of the state level, should be from the third grade."

"And the deputy governor, the state governor, and the state military governor are half a grade lower than the state governor again, that is, the fourth grade."

Chen Ke said while Fusu recorded.

"Some of the institutions below, such as the state-level "Municipal Property Administration", are at a level half a grade lower than those of the state, that is, from the fourth grade."

"In the case of counties, the official rank should be set up to follow the management of the state, and the "state city" is the capital of a state, and each rank is half a level lower than the state, and the ordinary county is one level lower."

"That is, the county guard of Linzi County is the fourth product, the county is the fourth product, the county lieutenant is the fourth product, and the municipal material department is the fifth product."

"Jiaodong and Langya counties are from the fourth grade, the county Cheng and the county lieutenant are the five products, and the municipal material department envoy is from the five products."

"And then if you count it down, the county order at the first level of the county is two and a half levels lower than the county."

"That is, the county order is the seventh grade, and the county Cheng and the county lieutenant are the seven grades."

"The county and city property departments are the eighth grade, and some officials in the rest of the county offices, such as the chief secretary and the priest's order, are from the eighth grade and the ninth grade."

"As for the township commander, pavilion chief, village chief, etc., they are small officials who do not enter the stream."

Chen Ke raised his head, looked at Fusu and said, "Do you think this is feasible?" ”
