When Wu Qian, the crown prince of Wu State, was analyzing Li Chen'an in the courtyard of the Yuelai Inn, and when he had a murderous heart for Li Chen'an, the palace was full of joy.

The first assistant of the cabinet, Wen Zhuyu, laughed when he looked at the good news delivered by the fast horse.

Cheng Jingting, the provincial servant, Cheng Jingting, had an old face and smiled like an old flower.

Zhongshu Province Zhongshu Ling Nian Chengfeng and Shangshu Provincial Shangshu Ling Qi Yao held their long beards and were greatly relieved.

The six scholars also breathed a sigh of relief one by one, and the long-lost joy appeared on their faces, and their eyes were full of undisguised joy!

Wen Boiling Yu stroked his short beard, passed on the good news, and said:

"The regent's victory in the battle of Gofan Yuan with less is not only a miracle of war, but its significance is far more far-reaching than the impact of the war itself!"

"After this war, there will be no more major rebellions in our country."

"Those who have a heart of disobedience will not be able to afford to have the dissent to trouble the country again."

"Those corrupt ministers...... Jiangnan Province took advantage of the power of the regent's battle to easily take down all the officials with conclusive evidence, and in the other four states, the Imperial City Division has begun to act, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department also need to be sent out to assist the Imperial City Division in handling the cases of those corrupt officials! ”

"Next, according to the plan before the regent left Beijing, all the officials who went to work in Gangnam Province need to be there within this month...... Much less than ever. ”

"First, there are not many officials who can take on big responsibilities, and secondly, ...... The regent said to be a crack soldier and a simple government. ”

"It means that Ning Guo no longer needs as many officials from top to bottom as before!"

"When Ji Tai was in power, he cleverly set up a name and added many yamen, such as the Imperial Horse Division, such as the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, etc."

"The regent says there is no need for these things to exist, and they all need to be removed."

"The reason why the taxes borne by the people of our Ning Kingdom are so heavy is that one is that the various localities have set up a name for exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the other is that there are too many officials who eat imperial grain!"

Speaking of this, the expression on Wen Zhuoyu's face became serious.

He picked up a booklet on the desk next to him, unfolded it, and said:

"In the thousand-year history, during the Chen Kingdom, 8,000 people raised an official. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, this data became 3,000 people supporting one official. When we opened the country, it was 4,000 people who raised an official, but now ......"

Wen Zhuoyu raised his head and waved the booklet in his hand:

"Now, our Ningguo is a thousand people raising an official!"

"Compared with the time of Chen Guo, the burden of the people has increased sevenfold!"

"Compared with the time when Ning was founded, the burden of the people has increased three times!"

"Compared to today's Yue Kingdom...... The country of Yue is now two thousand people supporting one official, and our people are more than twice as burdened by their people! ”

"Compared with the State of Wu, the State of Wu is three thousand people raising an official, and our people are also burdened with twice as many taxes as them!"

Wen Zhuoyu put down the booklet, looked at the shocked crowd, and poked his fingers at the booklet:

"This is what the regent asked the Imperial City Division to count before he left Kyoto, even if there are some errors in the data, it is not far off."

When he showed it to the old man, the old man was also taken aback, and then he knew that the reform of the government was imminent!"

Wen Zhuoyu stood up and took two steps:

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the comparison of these data, I think everyone has a clearer concept!"

"It's shocking!"

"The poverty of the people of Ningguo," he pointed upward, "it is not the fault of heaven!" ”

"It's a curse to man!"

"If this disaster is not eliminated, no matter how many victories the regent fights and how many articles he does, it will not help!"

"How do you solve it once and for all?"

Wen Boilyu stopped and glanced at everyone, "The only way to carry out a top-down reform of the rule of officials is to carry out it!" ”

"This matter is the most important thing at the moment!"

"Streamlining all unnecessary institutions, cutting off all unnecessary positions, the regent set the goal for the old man to support one official for 5,000 people...... Calculate for yourselves how many useless people you are going to reduce from top to bottom! ”

"From now on, the officials will start to do this."

"Don't be afraid of resistance!"

"Don't even talk about face!"

"If you value such things as human feelings and sophistication, there is nothing that can be done in the world!"

"If the officials eliminated by the departments think they have the ability...... Let them all go to this autumn festival! ”

"Ningguo needs a lot of officials!"

"But it must be an official who has the ability, has the ability, can make a difference, and can really think and do for the people!"

"No matter how old you are, let alone your family background, everyone has to rely on their true skills, those who are vegetarians...... Those who lie on the merits of their ancestors and do not want to forge ahead...... All are eliminated, never appointed! ”

Wen Zhuanyu took advantage of Li Chen'an's victory in Wufan Yuan to convene high-ranking officials from various ministries in the temple and held an unprecedented meeting.

At this meeting, he gave him the advice that Li Chen'an gave him before leaving Kyoto, and said it in the name of Li Chen'an.

Nian Chengfeng was originally extremely worried about this major change in the rule of officials, because many of the redundant yamen in the court were also inextricably linked with the ministers of the court.

This is the after-effect of the previous official recommendation system.

Recommendation, people will always have selfish intentions.

Besides, those yamen are not important, and they do not need to be very knowledgeable, nor do they need to have a lot of experience in governance.

It seems harmless to go to those yamen to be an errand and receive some imperial food.

But in these redundant yamen, there are a large number of idle food eaters.

Their offerings also come from the people's taxes!

Li Chenan said that in order to promote industry and commerce, it is first necessary to solve the problem of Ningguo's cumbersome institutions.

That is to offend a large number of ministers, many of whom are people who were left behind by Mr. Chunfu.

Warm boiling rain waited until today.

He had a perfect time.

"I know it's going to be painful for some people."

"Many of you are former protégés of Mr. Chunfu, and it is also the regent who invited you back to the court to seek a prosperous and prosperous world."

"The Lord Regent is young!"

"He's got the power! has enough ability to lead Ningguo to prosperity and strength. ”

He hopes that everyone can be of one mind with him, for the sake of the people of Ningguo, what should be given up should be given up, and what should be broken should be decided...... Don't wait for him to come back...... That doesn't look good on everyone's face! ”

Under the coercion and temptation of Wen Zhuyu, this matter, which would have been very tricky, was silently accepted by the ministers.

After going down to the court, he returned to a quiet and quiet residence.

Nian Chengfeng asked Wen Zhuanyu worriedly:

"If he really takes back the eldest son of the emperor...... Will all these efforts be in vain? ”

Wen Boiling Rain groaned for three breaths and sighed long:

"Hey...... Sometimes, I wish there wasn't that eldest son! ”

Nian Chengfeng looked at Wen Zhuanyu silently, and asked again: "The prince of Wu State, just ignore it?" ”

"Delay it any longer, and wait for the military department to send more fireworks to the endless pass."

At this moment, a door hurriedly walked in: "Master, there are guests outside who want to see you...... Said to be an old friend of the master! ”
