After Zhang Xi and Liu Ba told Liu Ba about the process of formulating the budget report of the Ministry of War, Liu Ba re-read the settlement documents of the Ministry of War and finally found something different.

When Liu Ba first saw the year-end settlement documents of the Ministry of War and the next year's request for payment, in the face of such detailed data support, he almost didn't need to think about it, he only needed to compare it with what he knew, and subconsciously recognized these two documents and gave instructions.

And the affairs under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War are basically only a few, and what is on the side of the Ministry of Household is the cost of the recruitment system and the renewal and elimination of ordnance, and the documents are very short, plus Liu Ba is really busy at the end of the year, and he really didn't see anything new from the documents of the Ministry of War for a while.

But now, when I heard Zhang Xi's explanation, I looked back at the documents of the Ministry of War, and suddenly felt that Zhang Xi was presiding over the affairs of the Ministry of War with a new method that was different from the current way of running officialdom.

This is not a big deal, each chief official has his own governing habits, some people like to do it themselves, some people like to appoint assistants, and some people have their own little skills, can quickly deal with documents in this era of readers, but not only dead reading, their own experience and methods are more.

However, Zhang Xi's new method provides an idea of how to think - a budget mechanism.

What to do, plan first, this is something that everyone knows.

But there are basically not many people who can really do it.

Confucianism pays attention to moderation, and some things should not be too serious or too careful, otherwise it is easy to offend people.

But now, Liu Ba feels that Zhang Xi's idea and method are very good.

It is true that Liu Ba is a Confucian child, but this era is a troubled era, but if you go to pursue moderation, it is not that the grave grass is three meters high, and it is really mean, and you can only farm at home.

What's more. The Zhongshu Ling of Zhongshu Province, although he was also from Confucianism, used the means that he was good at, but it was a Legalist method.

As for the Shangshu Decree of Shangshu Province. That person's surname already says it all, it's even more legalist than a legalist, and he will be repaid.

Zhang Xi's method can not only effectively improve work efficiency, but also inevitably be appreciated by the above two bigwigs.

Of course, the most important thing is that after Liu Ba finished reading the documents of the Ministry of War, he never wanted to see this pile of brain-dead documents again.

Why does he have a household book, get the year-end settlement documents of the Ministry of Industry and the payment documents for the next year, and have to calculate what the money is used for, when it will be used, and how much should be set aside? !

Should this be what Jian Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, should do?!

What, Jian Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is a mascot with a name?!

Then the squires under him, the heads of the various departments, and the outsiders can't do nothing, right?!

Why do you just give a name, and the rest of the things need me, the head of the household department, to worry about your Ministry of Works?!

Directly type back the documents of the Ministry of Industry and rewrite them.

After doing this, Liu Ba did not deal with official business anymore, but pulled Zhang Xi with him and began to write a recital.

If this way of doing things is to be promoted, it cannot only be done in the household department, but only in the household department, which will cause the docking between each other to be unsmooth and affect the work efficiency.

To change, it must be changed in three provinces and six ministries, and even in all local prefectures and counties.

Therefore, Liu Bala went to Zhang Xi and gave Liu Bei a piece of music, suggesting that the budget system should be added to the administrative system.

For this matter, a group of Ji Han ministers before the end of the year, no one had the heart to have a good New Year.

Zhang Xi can be regarded as self-inflicted, he was quite leisurely, and he could go to the household department to urge money to kill time if he had nothing to do. Well, now I'm being dragged into endless meetings.

According to Liu Ba's meaning, if this kind of budget system is to be thoroughly implemented, it must be promoted from the imperial court to the local level, and the promotion alone will cause the connection between various departments and the three provinces, and the central and local governments to be unsmooth, resulting in low administrative efficiency.

Since this system is so troublesome, why does Liu Ba have to bother to write and ask for a performance to implement this system.

This is because this kind of budget system not only involves the approval of the budget by the household department, but also plays a very important role in all aspects of administration.

are all mature politicians, and there are some things that can easily come to mind as long as Zhang Xi makes a start and thinks deeply.

For example, after reading the recital and listening to Liu Ba and Zhang Xi's narration, he immediately realized that this system has a very important reference role in making decisions in Zhongshu Province.

In the past, the Ministry of Industry submitted a work report, saying: Zhongshu ordered, where the water conservancy facilities should be repaired, where the road to where the damage is serious, it is time to rest.

At this time, Zhuge Liang could only calculate the amount of work by himself through the situation described in the report, and then found Liu Ba, the secretary of the household department, and asked how much grain the household department still had and how much grain to set aside to ensure that these projects were carried out.

Everything has to be estimated by the Zhongshu Ling in Chengdu, and there is no reference at all.

But once there is a budget report, how many materials need to be used, how long the progress of the project will take, and how much manpower and material resources need to be used, must be written clearly, so that Zhuge Liang can at least have an intuitive concept, which is very helpful for him to make decisions.

And Shang Shuling Fazheng is also very supportive of this budget system.

Zhongshu saved the decision, and he was responsible for the execution of the Shangshu Order, and he didn't know what to execute.

You don't know how long you want to build roads, how long you want to build them, how much you want to coordinate with the various ministries, how much grain and grass you need, and whether you need the assistance of the military department and the household department.

But what went wrong, if you want to find out what stage went wrong, you can't see any problems at all with a running account, and in the end, all the black pots have to be memorized by him? !

With this budget report, whether it is the repair project or the coordination of various ministries, there are clear requirements and responsibilities to be fulfilled, these things must be coordinated before the report is generated, and the progress of the project at each stage must also be pre-planned, if it is not completed, whose responsibility is clear at a glance.

As for the province of Menxia, this budget report is even more needed.

The Ministry of Men is the audit department, which is responsible for auditing the implementation of all administrative policies.

The budget report plus the completion report are two things that audit departments must look at, and they have been doing this for more than a thousand years.

There is no budget report, just a completion report, who knows if there are any corners cut among them.

In this year, the Ministry of Menxia could not arrange a supervisor for each large-scale project site to review the progress of a project, but could only inspect it after completion.

But with the budget system, the province only needs to check the progress of the project randomly according to the time node on the budget system, which can not only supervise the progress of the project at any time, supervise corruption, but also save a lot of manpower and material resources to do other things.

Even Yu Tuo, who was in the Imperial Tower, thought this thing was a good thing.

In those days, the Imperial Historical Observatory did not have the right to hear about it, they had to supervise hundreds of officials, not just going to teahouses and wine shops to hearsay, they needed to have actual evidence before they could be impeached.

Even if the central officials are under their noses, they are all under their noses, and it is easy to be known if they do something lacking in morality, but local officials, the Imperial Historical Observatory can only solve this problem by sending out inspections of the Imperial History from time to time.

And the achievements of local officials, one is taxation, the other is to rule Dingkou, and in the end, how much they have done to benefit the country and the people.

In the past, I had to supervise these things, one was to listen to the officials themselves, and the other was to go to the people to visit the family and the villagers. But in these years, the relationship between local officials and the elders of the world is basically a relationship of mutual cooperation and interdependence.

Well, now, if the local government also adopts these budget systems, whether it is a financial budget or a project budget, it must be reported to the central government, and the Imperial Historical Observatory sends out to inspect the imperial history, and there is no need to even go through local officials and village elders to find the report and look for it yourself, and you can know at a glance what these people have done, which ones are really for the country and the people, and which ones are indiscriminately filling.

This thing is impeached, that is, one bullet is accurate, and no one can escape.

The four major departments of the central government are very much in favor of this budget system and are willing to extend this system to the whole country. This year, Zhang Xi didn't have a good time at all.

Who made him the original proposer of this system?

In addition, the implementation of this budget system varies depending on the situation of each ministry.

For example, Jian Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, asked Liu Bei to resign on the fourth day after the three-day meeting, and the Ministry of Labor is a place that urgently needs to promote this kind of budget system, and Jian Yong thinks that he is not capable enough, and most of the officials below are craftsmen who will be superintendents, except for the directors of various departments and the left and right attendants.

These craftsmen who will be supervisors, except for Pu Yuan, who will be the master craftsman, is a Confucian student, who only likes to hold this position, and the rest of the craftsmen don't know a single big character, how can they engage in this budget system.

Everyone just knows how to work hard, and I really don't understand what kind of budget.

Another example is Qin Mi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, he doesn't understand, he is a department in charge of the promotion and transfer of officials, does he also need to formulate a budget? !

Whether to be promoted or demoted, whether to stay in the central government or out of the town, changes in officials at all levels, and adjustments to the government, these things all need to be formulated according to the actual situation, how can it be possible to plan in advance, and then decide on the appointment of officials according to the plan?!

And the Shangshu of the Criminal Department can't understand the budget plan, how many people are executed every year, do you have to plan in advance, and if the number is not enough, you have to make up the target?!

If it is said that the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites really need to implement the budget system, but the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs really do not need it.

In this regard, Zhang Xi had to patiently explain them one by one.

It is true that the Ministry of Officials does not need to implement a budget system for the transfer of officials, but you have to have a number in your heart, right? !

If you want to do this, Liu Ba is the first to find you desperately, do you believe it or not?!

As for the Criminal Department, all kinds of criminal cases across the country have to be gathered in your Criminal Department, and you really don't need to budget for the number of killings, but does the review of these cases require investment in manpower and material resources?!

These are the places where you need to make a budget.

Last but not least. It's not a fixed target.

The budget system allows for differences from the actual results, as long as you can give a convincing reason.

The budget system is just a pre-planned plan, and everyone understands that the plan can't catch up with the changes, as long as you can explain the reason clearly, it's caused by force majeure factors, then even if it's the Imperial Observatory, you can't use this to impeach people, right?!
