Although Zhuge Liang and others and the families in Shuzhong are very anxious, this kind of thing is really not something that can be done in a day or two, and a complete set of etiquette alone needs to be prepared for three or four months.

Moreover, it's not enough to let Liu Bei wear a yellow robe and be the emperor, about a series of things after Liu Bei becomes the emperor, you have to think about it in advance.

For example, rewards, such as bureaucracy, such as change.

After more than 400 years in the Han Dynasty, many systems have obviously failed to keep up with the requirements of this era, not to mention that Liu Bei only occupies one-third of the world's territory, and it is not the most elite territory.

Therefore, after Liu Bei returned to Chengdu, on the one hand, he had to follow etiquette and make three concessions, and on the other hand, he often discussed with Zhuge Liang about how to reform the central government and improve the efficiency of the central government.

Liu Bei, although he has a brand of Han clan relatives on his body, the gold content of the Han clan in this year is really not high, especially the Han clan relatives like Liu Bei, who have fallen from the bottom step by step to the current Han clan relatives, have seen the turmoil of the Han Dynasty in the past few decades quite clearly.

The Han must carry out reforms, otherwise it will only be a matter of survival if it continues like this.

But how to reform, this is another big deal, Liu Bei himself is not sure in his heart, so he has to discuss with Zhuge Liangduo.

And Zhuge Liang. Now is not the time when everything needs to be picked up by Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, there are many talents under Liu Bei's account, and Zhuge Liang has never thought of monopolizing power.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang once again convened a meeting of the small gang to discuss the issue of restructuring.

Whether it is the military system or the official system, there is a certain thing that crosses the turtle, so the dream of crossing the turtle to go home with his wife for a long time is over before it starts.

Zhang Xi did return to Chengdu and returned home, and saw his wife and children who he hadn't seen for a year.

But before Zhang Xi could accompany Sun Shangxiang and Xiaoba and educate Xiao Xuan'er and Xiao Zheng'er, Zhuge Liang came directly to arrest people for a meeting.

And this meeting is the kind of stinky and long meeting, which runs from dawn to dark, Zhang Xi has to think about the content of the meeting every time he goes back after the meeting, and he has no time to accompany his wife and children.

But Zhang Xi can't say anything, after all, this meeting is really very important, even a person like Zhang Fei, who doesn't have much political acumen at all, was pulled to a meeting by Zhuge Liang, what reason does Zhang Xi have to complain? !

At the beginning, we will talk about the military system.

In the current Han Dynasty, there is no big problem with the military merit system, and there is no need for much change in the military system of the central, local, and frontier trinities.

The combat effectiveness of the army of the Great Han Dynasty, whether it was in the former Han Dynasty or the Later Han Dynasty, was very strong, and even in troubled times, it was very normal to press individual alien races to the ground and rub them.

However, whether to recruit soldiers using the conscription system or reverting to the conscription system of the former Han Dynasty needs to be well discussed.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the conscription system was basically adopted, and the sons of good families were recruited into the army, but with the deposition of the county national soldier system in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the conscription system was gradually replaced by the conscription system.

In recent years, after the chaos in the world and the decline of the Han dynasty, the disadvantages of the conscription system have been revealed-as long as you have money and have a name for the past, then you can recruit soldiers, divide one side, and confront the central court.

The conscription system is a double-edged sword, if you use it well, you can enhance your strength, but if you don't use it well, you will also hurt yourself.

Therefore, everyone has different opinions on whether to continue to use the conscription system after Liu Bei became emperor.

Some people oppose the conscription system, especially Liu Ba, who believes that the conscription system will bear a rather serious financial burden on the central authorities, and that if the conscription system is adopted for a long time, the army's combat effectiveness may not be guaranteed, but the money will certainly be spent like water.

This made the chief economist of Liu Bei Group very dissatisfied, and felt that it was still necessary to use the conscription system as the main method, supplemented by a small number of conscription systems.

You can't say that Liu Ba's statement is unreasonable, even Zhuge Liang also agrees with Liu Ba's statement, after all, he has presided over the government affairs of Chengdu for many years, and Zhuge Liang knows very well how much the expenditure of the conscription system is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bottomless pit.

But the problem is that it is still a troubled time, and it is not the kind of peaceful era where you can "put swords and guns into the warehouse, and horses can be put in Nanshan".

There are no people in the land these days, at least half of the people in the world are either living in the mountains and forests, or they are hidden by the family, and there is not enough population base, how can you engage in conscription?!

This issue has triggered a "big discussion" between generals in the army and officials in charge of government affairs.

Even Zhang Fei participated.

Although Zhang Fei was not very familiar with the actual government affairs, Zhang Fei knew that if the conscription system was adopted, at least half of his soldiers should go home to farm. How can this work?!

After arguing back and forth for several days, the two sides finally reluctantly reached an agreement - at this stage, the conscription system is still the mainstay, supplemented by the conscription system, and the issue of the military system will be discussed again after the reunification of the world and the revival of the Han dynasty.

As for one of the military systems, the question of rebuilding the central and northern armies was also resolved by the way.

The central army of the imperial court, after Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, has not been rebuilt for a long time, and even during the period of Emperor Ling, because the combat effectiveness of the central forbidden army was not good, it had to add eight captains in the West Park to strengthen the defense of the imperial city. This is also the position started by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.

In these years of war, the so-called central forbidden army of the imperial court is more practical than Cao Wei's central forbidden army, and there has been no northern and southern armies in the Han Dynasty for a long time.

Now, there is no need to discuss this issue at all, and it is imperative to restore the armies of the North and the South.

After all, the new emperor of the Han Dynasty is Liu Bei, who is a decisive prince, even if he is not the emperor, there are Bai Yu soldiers and other pro-guards, and when he becomes the emperor, isn't it a matter of course to rebuild the northern and southern armies? !

Therefore, in terms of the military system, except for some debates on whether to adopt the conscription system or the conscription system, the other military systems have basically not changed, and the military system of the central, local, and border trinities is still adopted.

The Central Army was under the direct control of the emperor, and the two armies of the north and south were reset, not only to protect the capital and the emperor, but also to be the elite troops of the country, and they were ready to go out at any time.

Locally, the county soldiers are the mainstay, and the conscription system is still adopted for the time being, but a clear upper limit plan will be made for the recruitment of soldiers in each prefecture and county, and the power of the governors and magistrates of each prefecture and county will be limited to avoid a situation in which local officials sit on the throne.

In the case of special military operations, such as taking the initiative to crusade against foreign races, the central authorities must also decide whether to send additional central forbidden troops, and the governors of border counties cannot make decisions on their own.

Of course, if it is only a small-scale battle if the military strength of the border county army allows, the county magistrate can decide the battle plan according to the actual situation. At least in this respect, the governor of the border county has more autonomy than the governor of the interior.

The issue of the military system is almost discussed, and then it is the turn of the official system.

This problem is especially more troublesome than the military system.

At least the military system of the Han Dynasty has not been greatly damaged, and it is a problem of the financial burden of the central and local governments.

But there are too many things about the official system of the Han Dynasty.

Up to now, the biggest problem of the Han bureaucracy is that the central administrative efficiency is quite low, resulting in many things that can only be pulled from each other, infighting, and it is impossible to carry it out.

The Han Dynasty was the first to adopt the system of three princes and nine secretaries to govern the country.

However, the high-level official system of the entire Han Dynasty has undergone too many changes, and some emperors, relatives, and even princes and ministers have changed the system of three princes and nine secretaries who are good and perform their duties beyond recognition.

Now the big man, the officials below have encountered problems, and even have not known which department to deal with.

In addition, during the period of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, the party strife was serious, and the relatives and the civil official group fought with each other, and sometimes a eunuch group had to be added in the middle. Thinking about fighting for power and profit all day long, this administrative efficiency is naturally not much higher.

The administrative efficiency was low, the bureaucratic system was chaotic, the officialdom was corrupt, the emperor took the lead in corruption, and in addition to the serious land annexation, the local officials and families oppressed the people. The Yellow Turban Rebellion seemed very logical.

Seeing how the Han Dynasty went to the troubled times step by step, Zhuge Liang and the others definitely didn't want the Han family that they and others worked hard to help out, and continue to move towards the old road of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling.

Therefore, this official position must be changed.

But. Let Zhang Xi say, if we fail to vigorously develop the productive forces, solve the problem of land annexation, and completely separate the yeoman peasants from the land bondage and provide better resettlement, no matter how this official system is changed, in fact, in the end it will be a change of soup and not a change of medicine.

But if you say all this nonsense at this time, you're completely asking for trouble for yourself. With the current productive forces and production relations, there is really no way to do what Zhang Xi said.

Just one - these days, no matter which regime, needs to rely on agricultural taxes to feed the government. When you can completely abolish the agricultural tax and maintain the stability of the country, then the time will be to completely solve the problem of land annexation.

This kind of thing is more than 1,700 years before this era.

So. It is better to change the official system, at least to make the central administration more efficient, and to delay the outbreak of this land annexation issue as much as possible.
