During this time, it was a period of time when the entire Luoyang Imperial Court was advancing wildly.

Everyone is doing things, they don't do anything except doing things, they open their eyes to go to work, close their eyes to sleep, and they don't even have time to fight for power and profit.

Of course, it is not that there are no idle people, such as the remaining three of the four auxiliary ministers, as well as the bigwigs of the Valle Reading family.

Dong Zhong is still a turtle with a shrunken head as always, and he has no reaction to the outside world as if he is dead.

Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo were very emotional about this situation, and they were impressed by Liu Bei's super work ability and personality charm that led people to change.

The Han has really changed, changed a lot, and they are almost unrecognizable-because the scholars were all dragged by Liu Bei to work overtime in 996, and for a while, few people had the leisure to continue to fight with the eunuchs.

They are all running errands, they are all running nervously and sweating, and with their changes, the Han Empire has really changed since Luoyang.

The most obvious is the establishment of one farm settlement after another, the completion and accumulation of the registration of new households one after another, and the living and working of one household after another.

At the end of June, Liu Bei convened a joint meeting of all the officials, showed them the new household registration book that filled an entire warehouse, and told them that this was the result of their hard work.

Three years later, just the land endowment and the calculation of the endowment, the population on these household registers will bring hundreds of millions of real taxes to the Han Dynasty.

And this tax can support a lot of soldiers, build a lot of cities and infrastructure, repair a lot of roads and bridges, and renovate the infrastructure of the entire Yin area of Henan.

The dilapidated roads, dangerous bridges, dilapidated cities and houses that everyone complained about will be completely renovated, and Dahan will have a new look.

All of this was built on the basis of the comprehensive turn of the Luoyang Imperial Court, and on the basis of their hard work, which made them realize that their hard work could really bring about changes in the entire Han Empire.

This has become the consensus of the officials, and they have realized for the first time how pleasant and easy it is to do things properly without thinking about anything else.

It is really much easier to do things seriously than to fight for power and profit.

This was a major change that Liu Bei brought to them and to the Han Empire, a major change that could not be ignored in any way, he swept away the political shortcomings of the Han Empire for decades, and returned a court to its original work affairs, and made achievements.

Therefore, there is no doubt that everyone realizes that Liu Bei is the most important existence in this system.

But Liu Bei himself knows that the imperial court is actually still the imperial court, and it is impossible for substantial changes to occur so quickly, or never to change substantially.

It's just that through the cooperation of Liu Bei's head and other forces, Liu Bei led a group of people by himself in the posture of a fierce man descending from the sky, and in this special period of time, this court has become different from the past.

But there are only so many things, even if they are piled up, at the current speed and state, it doesn't even take a year to deal with what should be dealt with.

After all, it's the era of the Han Empire, the classical era, and under the constraints of transportation and productivity, there are not so many things that are produced every day.

Just like Liu Bei's administrative team after being trained in Liangzhou, it quickly exceeded the development ceiling of Liangzhou, from being busy to dying to being idle, there are actually so many things to do.

The objective law of development is there, and in the era when the year is the unit of development, Liu Bei uses the sky as the unit of efficiency, and lashes out at the bureaucrats, and if it continues, the two will clash sooner or later.

You can't create problems without problems, right?

Of course, the affairs of the entire Han Empire far exceed the affairs within the scope of Liangzhou, but judging from the current speed at which Liu Bei is holding a whip to force everyone, it will not take long for the administrative efficiency of this court to exceed the development ceiling of the Han Empire.

Once exceeded, many situations are completely different from what they are now.

Therefore, Liu Bei felt that he had to think about the back road for the Han Empire in advance, and he couldn't just go down like that, he always had to take some other way to try, which was his responsibility as a general and a de facto ruler.

From the current point of view, the actual operation of the Han Empire is already under the control of the Great General's Palace.

Because of the absence of an adult son of heaven, Liu Bei essentially replaced him as a general and chief auxiliary minister, and with the support of the Empress Dowager Dong, he essentially controlled the imperial power and became an alternative Huo Guang.

At this stage, the General's Mansion became the de facto highest decision-making body of the Han Empire, and all imperial departments were not responsible to the emperor, but to the General's Mansion, which was connected to the General's Mansion.

At this stage, Liu Bei also made an institutional renovation of the General's Mansion, so that the General's Mansion could undertake various central affairs of the Han Empire.

In short, Liu Bei adopted the six-ministry system in the Great General's Mansion and renovated all the original institutions—because in fact a lot of power was in his hands, and the Great General's Mansion was completely his own, and it was completely feasible for him to do so.

The first is the most important fiscal power.

Originally, the financial power was actually divided between Liu Bei and Dong Chong, Liu Bei controlled Shaofu, Dong Chong controlled Dasi Nong, one controlled the emperor's private finances, and the other controlled the nominal state finances.

However, in actual operation, the Shaofu controlled by Zhen Yan is obviously much more capable, while the Dasi Nong arranged by Dong Chong is very stretched in financial affairs, so that some financial personnel need to be seconded from Shaofu to help deal with daily financial affairs.

Of course, Liu Bei was not polite, especially after Dong Chong revealed his vigilance and dissatisfaction with Liu Bei, Liu Bei was even more unkind, and instructed Zhen Yan to infiltrate the Dasi Nong Mansion, use the people of the Shaofu to control the important positions of the Dasi Nong Mansion, and elevate the Dasi Nong.

Because the wastes under Dong Chong's command were too incompetent, Zhen Yan didn't make much effort, and it took a few months to basically empty the big Si Nong arranged by Dong Chong and control the actual authority of the big Si Nong.

By the time Dong Chong closed himself, Liu Bei had already effectively controlled the Dasi Nong Mansion, thus controlling the authority of the Shaofu and the Dasi Nong together, and controlling all the financial power of the Han Empire.

The emperor's private finances and the state's finances were all in Liu Bei's hands from then on.

Therefore, Liu Bei set up a household department in the general's mansion, and the household department was specially connected with the departments responsible for the civil affairs and financial affairs of the imperial court, and then dealt with these matters, and finally summarized the results and major events to Liu Bei's side, and Liu Bei made the final decision.

How much money the court earns, how much money it spends, the expenses of officials, the expenses of the court, and so on, all the power is essentially in Liu Bei's hands.

Through the household department, Liu Bei can also control the country's civil affairs, and promote the collective farm as a basic national policy to the areas below the county level, and use the county government to directly manage the affairs of the collective farm, so as to increase the grassroots mobilization power of the Eastern Han Empire.

The grassroots mobilization ability of the Eastern Han Dynasty was really poor, and after he personally took control of the Luoyang Imperial Court, Liu Bei realized that this was the basis for the Western Han Dynasty to run the military service system, and it was also the reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty switched to the conscription system.

The power of a government depends on its ability to control the grassroots, and power does not come from the top down, but from the bottom up.

Therefore, when He Jin first became a general, he was a lackey of the eunuchs, and it was not until five or six years later that he gradually gained power and was able to suppress the eunuchs in turn.

Because his power was originally given by others, not by himself, how much can others give?

I don't have a bottom-level foundation, so I kneel to ask for food, and with the bottom-level foundation, I can earn money by standing, just like the current Liu Bei.

In addition to financial power, the most important military power is in the hands of Liu Bei, both nominally and practically, and he, a general, can already control the national military, so it is natural to establish a military department in the general's palace.
