"This ......" Lu Chang was speechless and couldn't answer.

The household department is in charge of the land, household registration, taxation, and salaries throughout the country...... Any one of them, is a huge database. Although Lu Chang has the ability, it is impossible to remember them all.

His head is not a supercomputer.

There are more than 300 iron ore mines in the whole country, not to mention other minerals in the Ministry of Mines.

"Your Majesty, the old minister can't remember." Sweat trickled down Lu Chang's forehead.

"Didn't you say you're a boss?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Your Majesty." Lu Chang said, "The household department used to be in charge of mining affairs, but the emperor wanted to practice steel this year, and he just joined the household department to let the household department manage it." And it's not the old minister himself who is in charge, but a director under the household department. ”

"This director, called the director of mines, is new."

"The emperor's question, I'm afraid you have to ask the mine director, and then check the account books to answer it." Lu Chang said.

"What does the emperor want to know, he can't know it at the first time, and he has to wait for you, the scholar, to let his subordinates check the account books, and wait for several days, so what do we want you to do?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the old minister......" Lu Chang was nervously speechless.

Today is simply a flying disaster, and before that, the emperor would not test him for such a thing at all. Because there are too many affairs managed by the household department, even the most powerful household secretary cannot know the details of all the affairs, and the emperor knows this.

That is, the emperor is picking bones in eggs today.

Could it be that the emperor wanted to take Lu Chang today and depose him? The crowd thought.

And Lu Chang also regretted it, he knew that this was the case, so it was better to be patient for a while and not be the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for Lu Chang to know about the output and taxation of the Lingqiu Mine." At this time, Liu Bowen stood up and spoke for Lu Chang, "The household department has to manage the household registration and acres, and it has to manage the expenses and taxes, and there are too many affairs. ”

"You're right, it's because he manages too much that he can't manage any of them." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Too much management is not good?

Hearing this, the ministers seemed to realize something.

"For another example, there is a fraud in a mine, and we know about it, who should we deal with?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again, "The Ministry of Mines is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, should we be the first to find you Lu Chang accountable?" ”

"Naturally." When Li Shanchang heard this, he said, "Although the culprit is the person concerned, the head of the household department is also suspected of dereliction of duty. ”

"In this way, it is easy to breed malpractice." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "If Lu Chang wants to shield this person and find an irrelevant person to come out and take the blame, will we never be able to catch the culprit and let the culprit get away with it in the end?" ”

"Your Majesty, please don't make such assumptions about the old ministers." Lu Chang hurriedly defended, "The old minister has always been honest and honest, and he manages the household department impartially, and has never harbored it. ”

"We know that you Lu Chang is honest and honest, but what about being an incorruptible person?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"In this way, it is indeed easy to breed fraud." Liu Bowen said.

"Okay, we've got it all here, you should understand what we mean, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Please also ask the emperor to show me." The ministers bowed their hands one after another.

"To put it simply, in the previous six-part system, each department managed too many things and was too complicated, which made it difficult to manage well and could not be done as a finger." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Second, there are too many things in charge of one ministry and too many things. Once there is fraud, it is not easy to find the person responsible. ”

"Third, government affairs are too complicated, and they are not in the interest of the people, which is not conducive to the well-being of the people."

"Let the people enter the palace, they all have a feeling that once they enter the Houmen, they are as deep as the sea, and they don't know who to look for. The functional departments of the imperial court cannot do practical things for the people, which is the dereliction of duty of the department. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang almost took Qin Yu's words out as they were.

The ministers were silent when they heard this.

Now they finally understood what the Emperor had come to them for something.

However, they were speechless to refute, because of the three reasons that the emperor said, they could not find any reason to refute. The three aspects mentioned by the emperor directly exposed the drawbacks of the three-province and six-ministry system in front of the crowd.

Let the ministers have a feeling of powerlessness.

"So let's decide to reorganize the system of three provinces and six ministries!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Reorganize the system of three provinces and six ministries! When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked and speechless.

Restructuring is a big thing, and it really requires all of them, the big guys, to participate in the discussion.

No wonder the emperor summoned all of them to meet them today.

One by one, they were shocked in their hearts: that person's words could actually make the emperor reorganize the court regulations!?

His ability is too great, and it's too scary!

The emperor listened to him for everything, and it was he who controlled the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the reorganization of the imperial court is a major matter of the country. The slightest carelessness may make the imperial court run poorly, and it will affect the people of Li and the country. Liu Bowen said, "That person lives in seclusion in the mountains and is not familiar with court affairs, so the minister still asks the emperor to be cautious." ”

"Not bad, not bad." Shan Anren said, "How can such a major event as restructuring make him a man from the mountains and wilderness." ”

"The minister also implored the emperor to think twice." Liu Zhong said, "Once there is a problem in the process of restructuring, he can't afford the consequences." ”

"The two adults are right." Li Shanchang said, "Once the restructuring affects the people of Li or shakes the country's foundation, even if that person dies 10,000 times, it will not be enough to compensate for his crimes." ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

……

"You don't have to persuade anymore, we have already decided on the restructuring." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We came to you to discuss the details of the restructuring with you, not to discuss with you whether the restructuring should be carried out." ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately fell silent.

They have already guessed that the emperor's restructuring is likely to divide the power of six departments.

But there was nothing they could do.

"May I ask the emperor, how to restructure the six departments." Liu Bowen asked.

"It's simple." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Take the household department as an example, the household department was originally in charge of all the fields, taxes, household registration, treasury, mining, and degree branches in the world, but now it is divided into six departments. ”

"Lu Chang, the head of the household department, is still the head of the household, but he only needs to take care of one thing, that is, the household registration of the people in the world."

"The officials who used to manage the acres of land were formed into the 'Land Management Department'. The head of his land, the official was promoted to one level, and he was promoted to the secretary of the 'Land Department'. ”

"The officials in charge of taxation were formed into the 'Ministry of Taxation', and the original officials were promoted to one level and became the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation."
