"The meaning of Weichen is the subordinate of the county order, the north and the south are reversed, and the east and west are exchanged." Lü Buwei continued: "In this way, one can make the good and easy officials taste the hardships of the wind and sand, and fall into their evil hearts; Second, it can make the heroic officials know the twists and turns of personnel, so as to grow their talents; Third, the new policy can be deployed across the country. ”

After a slight pause, Lu Buwei continued: "Of course, the most important thing is that such an exchange can also eliminate redundant officials and mediocre officials. ”

Zhao Kuo, who heard this, did not have the joy he had just now, and even frowned unconsciously.

The reason is very simple, the redivision of the county just now, although Handan County has been divided, but after all, there is one more county, and most people are beneficiaries, not to mention that the county guard of Handan County is generally concurrently served by the doctor of the court, and Ben is also more concerned about the affairs of the court, and he will not feel too much about the reduction of the county.

But this mutual transfer is different, it is very simple, those who can serve near Handan are obviously more accessible and have backgrounds, and it is probably not so easy to exchange them with the bitter cold land of Daibei.

More importantly, the transfer of so many officials at one time will certainly weaken local stability to a certain extent.

Of course, Zhao Kuo also understood that Lu Buwei's idea was indeed for the sake of Zhao Guo, and this transfer could also screen out a lot of redundant personnel to a large extent. But there are too many redundant people screened out, and it's also a trouble!

What makes Zhao Kuo entangled is whether to make such a big move at one time.

Lu Buwei on the side saw that Zhao Kuo had not expressed his position for a long time, and naturally knew that the king had some scruples. He immediately added: "I, Wang Rongyu, this grassroots official is also the person closest to the people, if it is not completely solved, no matter how good the system of the court is, it may be difficult to implement it in place." ”

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he nodded slightly, and then said: "The mutual transfer of officials is indeed beneficial. However, it may be effective for two or three years? ”

"What does my king mean?" Lu Buwei asked with some confusion.

"Now that we have decided to rectify the rule of officials, we should not treat the head and feet with such headaches, and we still need to treat the root cause." Zhao Kuo then said: "Whether it is the bitter cold of Daibei, the danger of the party, or the comfort of Handan, those who have aspirations can make a difference, and those who are good at leisure and hard work still have their own way and oppress the people."

If the army changes its defense, it may be able to increase the experience of the Gyeonggi team, but it will also be difficult to ensure the degeneration of the border army after the internal relocation. In this way, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Passing the test." Without waiting for Lu Buwei to speak, Zhao Kuo had already blurted out and said: "For the officials of the counties under his command, they all try the method of passing the examination, and those who are capable go up and those who fall down, so that they are in a state of urgency in real time, so that they can arouse their responsibilities in their hearts." ”

"The words of my king are great and good." Lü Buwei immediately agreed.

"Still." Zhao Kuo did not lose himself in Lü Buwei's praise, but analyzed himself: "This test method can no longer be limited to autumn grain, forced labor and other things, but should also include taxes, city defense and other things, and it cannot be generalized. This needs to be carried out in consultation with the Plain-kun and other ministers. ”

"What my king says is reasonable." Lu Buwei nodded again in agreement.

"As for the geographical exchange of officials, it can be hidden in the reform of the examination." Zhao Kuo continued: "Based on the difficulty of governing each city, the importance of the region and the size of the region, the county can be divided into upper, middle and lower counties, divided into different positions, and then selected and appointed - the upper county officials are high and heavy, the lower counties are easy to govern and the lords are low, and the examination is once a year, and those who do not meet the standards will go to the officials. ”

"With the method of passing the test, we can eliminate redundant personnel." Lu Buwei nodded and said hurriedly: "In this way, it is a great good." ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, and then continued to ask: "Inside, why is the policy of 'reorganizing the center and apportioning rights' solved?" ”

When Lu Buwei heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said: "Please forgive my king, this discussion is a last resort, and the veteran generals in the army need to cooperate, please forgive the crime of trespassing." ”33

"Since it is about state affairs, it is natural that the military and the government are integrated, what is the crime?!" Zhao Kuo said unconcernedly.

In fact, listening to Lu Buwei's words, Zhao Kuo had almost thought of what Lu Buwei wanted to propose, and coincidentally, this should also be what he wanted. Immediately, Zhao Kuo ordered Lu Buwei to come quickly.

Lu Buwei was naturally not ambiguous, and immediately replied: "Now the court of the Zhao Kingdom, except for my king, the king of Pingyuan can be said to be the only one. It's not that Weichen doesn't trust Pingyuanjun, but in the long run, it is inevitable that there will be differences between my king and Pingyuanjun, and if no one reconciles, I am afraid that there will be disagreements. This is not good for my king, nor good for the king of the plains.

Besides, the will of my king and the renewal of the world, the capable ministers under his command cannot be the only one who is the king of the plains. ”

"Therefore." Lü Buwei said quite seriously: "Weichen suggests: transfer back Lian Po and Tian Dan of Shangdang County, and return to the dynasty as the prime minister, so as to balance the power of Pingyuan Jun." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo was noncommittal, but looked at Lu Buwei quietly, as if waiting for Lu Buwei's next words.

"Finished?" After a long time, Zhao Kuo finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's over." Lü Buwei replied honestly.

"Those who are honest and brave are also generals, who are good at fighting and short at government; Tian Dan, the minister of Qi State, although he has the heart of Zhao, it is rare for Zhao Chen to support him. With these two people, the plain king is balanced. Zhao Kuo shook his head helplessly, and said, "I don't know if Aiqing thinks too much of his honesty and Tiandan, or if Aiqing is too underestimated and comes to Pingyuanjun." ”

"This?" Lu Buwei immediately bowed down and said: "Weichen is terrified. However, the minister really didn't know what else to do. ”

"Since you want to divide power." Zhao Kuo helped Lu Buwei up, and said slowly: "Then simply divide it to the end, you can also quickly enter the central decision-making level." ”

When Lu Buwei heard this, he was still terrified.

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Kuo already had a plan in his heart. I have to say that among the long-standing feudal dynasties, the dynasties that have guaranteed the royal power to the greatest extent still belong to the braid dynasty.

And the central system of the Braided Dynasty is actually a method of rebirth with the Zhu family - the cabinet system.

In other words, the cabinet system itself is a product born in order to weaken the power of the prime minister and strengthen the power of the monarchy. I have to admire Comrade Chongba who started with a bowl, he really has too many genius designs.

For example, the representative of spy politics - the factory and health system, and the representative of checks and balances - the cabinet system.

Of course, these systems are not perfect, and they can even be said to be a double-edged sword.

But in today's situation, Zhao Kuo's centralization of power and the cabinet system will obviously be a good way.

As for the rest, let's talk about it later......

Some people died, but not completely......
