Bloated?

Don't need that many people?!

The officials who heard this sentence were all frightened, and one by one they directly incarnated as the king of the volume, working hard.

I can't stand it anymore.

Want to lie flat and rot?

Or return to the old home?

Xu Yi passed on the next sentence lightly.

"You also want to be a rebel?"

As soon as this remark came out.

All the officials trembled, and they didn't dare to say anything else, and all of them became the king of the scrolls.

Then it turned out that Xu Yi was right.

Although only about half of the officials remained, they ended up being 150 percent efficient.

Compared with twice as many officials, the efficiency is even higher and better.

This is still the result of Xu Yi's lack of reasonable allocation, if you go through a reasonable deployment, this efficiency can definitely be doubled!

More than half a month later.

"Almost."

Xu Yi looked at the list in his hand and nodded slightly.

The fundamental purpose of what he did during this period was to screen out the unfavorable factors of the court and screen out talented cadres.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

He didn't want to go to the actual operation process, and then step by step to eliminate the unfavorable factors and select the capable, although this would be more accurate, but the speed was too slow.

With absolute force to suppress everything, he could have done these things in a very short time.

For more than half a month, these unfavorable factors were eliminated from the family gate valve.

More than half a month of high-pressure policies have screened out capable people.

These two major events, if they were to be done by others, would have been possible for at least years, or even decades, but Xu Yi only took a little more than a month.

Of course, all this is based on the premise of absolute force.

If you don't have this premise, you dare to do this to Xu Yi, and before the matter is resolved, you will blow yourself up first!

One of the most famous examples is Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.

It stands to reason that the legacy left to him by his son Emperor Wen of Sui is not bad, and he himself is not a bad emperor, so it is impossible for him to die.

But the Sui Dynasty died in his hands.

The biggest reason for this is that in the absence of absolute force, he still wants to drag down the gate valves of the major families in a short period of time.

In the end, the gate valves of the major families were not dragged to death, but the Sui Dynasty was dragged to death······

If he is like Xu Yi and has absolute force, what is the family gate valve? Slap to death!

In the court.

Xu Yi waved his hand.

Cao Zhengchun took two steps outward, took out the holy decree, and read it out loud.

"From now on, the Wu Dynasty will abolish the original six-ministry system and change it to a nine-ministry system."

There is no Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict, Xu Yi has never believed in heaven, and he has not taken his identity as an emperor to heart, there is no need to read it out every time to show his sense of existence.

The ministers under him, although they were a little apprehensive when they heard it, none of them stood up and said anything against it - even if it was such an important matter, Xu Yi did not say anything to any of them, and directly decided with a word.

This was a serious damage to their power as courtiers, and in the past, they would have already made a mess!

But in the previous series of events, Xu Yi had already raised his monarchy to the supreme level, much more exaggerated than Zhu Yuanzhang and Qin Shi Huang!

The whole world has become his hall, he can do whatever he wants, and no one can stop or even dare to stop it.

Cao Zhengchun's mouth kept and continued.

"The new nine ministries are: the Ministry of Administration, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of National Security, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Information Security, the Ministry of Culture and Education, and the Ministry of Martial Arts."

In fact, it is a fusion of the modern system and the ancient system, and a more detailed division of some functions.

Of course, some departments don't have it now.

For example, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of Family Planning were not important enough to form a single one in ancient times.

In the future, their weight will increase, and it will not be too late to set up another one.

Cai Jing was appointed head of the Administration Department······ Zhuge Zheng is the Minister of National Security······ Zhu ignored the appointment of the head of the Ministry of Information Security······ Liu Jiyan served as the head of the martial arts department. ”

This should be the most concerned point of the courtiers, after all, it is about their own rights and status.

What to say about the final result, there are some surprises, but not many, and the vast majority of people deserve it.

Some people have crossed several levels in a row, and although they have caused some dissatisfaction, it is only pure jealousy.

The arrangement of these positions is based on the performance appraisal of these days, as well as their usual evaluation and ability.

In short, they were able to sit in this position because they were strong enough to sit on it.

Those who have the power live in it!

This is Xu Yi's personal tendency to show everyone at this court meeting.

After reading out all the more important positions in the nine departments, Cao Zhengchun did not stop, but took out another holy decree and continued to read it.

"In addition, in addition to the nine departments, there are three additional academies, namely the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Martial Arts."

"The administrative level of the three academies is equivalent to that of the nine ministries, but they do not participate in any administrative work, they are only responsible for the study of academics, technology and martial arts, and His Majesty is also the president of the three academies for the time being."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the bottom.

They can understand the martial arts academy and study martial arts!

In this ancient martial arts world where high-end force can decide everything, it is not unacceptable to have an institution specializing in martial arts, and let it be placed side by side with the Nine Divisions.

But what about the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering?

How can they be tied with the Nine?!

Immediately, a courtier stepped forward.

"Your Majesty! Wechen ······"

"Huh? Does Li Aiqing have any opinions? ”

Xu Yi sat on the dragon chair and glanced at him lightly.

The other party instantly broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood, Weichen has no opinion!"

"What about the other Aiqing?"

"The ministers don't have any opinions!"

Joke!

They're not stupid.

Not to mention Xu Yi's current attitude, just look at his behavior of directly serving as the president of the three academies, you can know the importance he attaches to these three academies, do they dare to have an opinion?

So, very logically, the reform of the court was completed.

Although there was a certain amount of chaos at the beginning, under the combing of Xu Yiqiang's memory palace, it quickly became orderly.

Although it seems that there has been a great change, in fact, everything has changed, and the functions of these departments are not much different from the original six departments, but they are more detailed.

After the completion of the court reform, it was the turn of the local court, provinces, cities, counties, towns and towns, and it continued level after level.

If those Saga gates are not extinguished, it can be troublesome in the process.

For the vast majority of the imperial courts, especially the ancient imperial courts, they have a strong degree of control over the central government, but when they are placed at the local level, it is almost the world of the major families.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the local emperors.

They can do whatever they want, and they can invalidate your policy, or 'localize' – by localization, for the sake of their family's gatekeepers.

This is also one of the reasons why the tail of the family gate valve is so big that it is difficult for all dynasties to solve them.

But now it's different.

All the family gates have basically been swept away, and the policies of the imperial court can be smoothly distributed to the provinces and cities.

It was at the county and township level that some troubles were encountered - the local squires and wealthy intervened.

Then, the East Factory and the Dragon Protector Villa, which had been prepared for a long time, were dispatched.

And then ······ There is no then.

Even the family gate valve has been destroyed, not to mention these squires who are rich?

The nine-part system was delegated to the township level, representing Xu Yi's Wu Dynasty, which successfully extended its power tentacles to the township level and officially spread all over the world.

In the past, the level of township was the most difficult to cross, because the power of the central court was not so great, and it could not be controlled so meticulously, so it could only rely on the squires of the township.

But now, with the help of the nine-ministry system, let the court officials go to the countryside, and get the concept of 'township officials' out, and they will naturally be able to control it.

"It's time to start implementing the policy!"

At this point, Xu Yi finally began his real reform.

The first step is education for all.

Xu Yi did not directly come up with nine-year compulsory education.

Some things can be passed directly with hard power, but there are some things that there is no way to do even if you have invincible strength.

If nothing else, there is no problem for teachers alone.

You don't have enough teacher resources!

This is not the time for a hundred schools of thought to contend.

In this era when Confucianism is the dominant family, there is nothing wrong with you letting them teach language, history, and even ideology and morality.

Physics? Chemistry? Creature? Geography?

What the hell is this!

Even mathematics, which has a high sense of existence, is not well mastered by many people in this era, which is the foundation of modern science.

If modern science is compared to an edifice, mathematics is the foundation.

The whole of modern science is built on the foundation of mathematics.

Even the math teacher can't get together, let alone the next nine years of compulsory education.

"If you can't get it out of the nine-year obligation, it's no problem to get a 'preschool' out."

The so-called 'preschool' is actually to make them read.

"Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic", as long as they can recognize these basic characters.

In order to reduce the difficulty, Xu Yi also specially got out the simplified Chinese characters and Chinese dictionaries - those traditional Chinese characters with more than a dozen strokes and dozens of strokes, who can remember them in a normal person?

The reason why modern China has been able to complete universal education in just a few decades and make the literacy rate of more than one billion people exceed 95% is that simplified Chinese characters have definitely played a vital role!

Some experts and professors are still clamoring for the restoration of traditional Chinese characters, and one of these people is counted as one, which is either stupid or bad!

Traditional Chinese characters raise the threshold for reading, while simplified Chinese characters lower the threshold for reading.

Which is better or worse, you don't need to compare to know at all.

Orders were issued from the palace.

"First, establish public preschool classes across the country, with no less than 100,000 seats!"

"Second, pay to recruit scholars from all over the country to serve as teachers, and the number will not be less than 300,000!"

"Three, to make it compulsory for all citizens of the country between the ages of six and eighteen, both men and women, to attend school! After one year, the literacy rate must not be less than 70 percent! ”

······

Each of the above is extremely difficult for a country, but for Xu Yi, it is not so difficult.

First of all, after confiscating the property of so many wealthy families and squires, the wealth of Xu Yi, or the Wu Dynasty, has reached an unimaginable level.

Whether it's 100,000 preschools or supporting tens of millions of people to study for free, this is not a matter for him.

The only thing that is a little troublesome is probably the 300,000 readers.

You can find it if you look for it.

According to an uncertain history, the number of officials in the middle of the Ming Dynasty was as high as 100,000, and it is estimated that the number of scholars in the Ming Dynasty was at least one million.

Out of the millions of readers, it is no problem to draw 300,000 people.

The problem is that these scholars regard themselves as high and take the imperial examination as their first goal, and it may be a bit difficult to get them to volunteer to become teachers.

Even if the teacher is paid, it is difficult to attract so many people.

But it's not too much of a problem.

Just take a knife and put it around their necks!

National Reader: ······

Of course, simply holding a knife to the neck can force them to become teachers, and it may not be another thing to let them teach with their hearts.

In order to stimulate their motivation, Xu Yi made another big killer move - civil servants!

Ahem.

As the saying goes, the end of the universe is the exam.

Although civil servants are not officials, they are real people who eat public meals!

If primary schools, middle schools, universities and other colleges are launched in the future, they can be used as principals, directors or something, and the administrative level is not low! There is even the possibility of being transferred to become an official of the Ministry of Education!

In a word, a civil servant, although not an official, is a reserve for an official, which is definitely an unbearable temptation for a scholar.

Didn't they study hard just to become officials?

Now that there is an opportunity to become an official reserve directly, how can they miss it?

More importantly, in order to allow these scholars to become teachers in peace (death), Xu Yi also came to a ruthless - within five years, the whole country will no longer conduct scientific examinations!

He was already unhappy with the bloated bureaucratic system — after he killed half of them, there were still more than 70,000 officials in the country.

In contrast, the number of chief officials in the Han Dynasty was 7,000, the number of chief officials in the Tang Dynasty was 18,000, and the number of chief officials in the Song Dynasty was 34,000 - this is already called 'extremely redundant'.

After the Ming Dynasty was killed by Xu Yi, there were still more than 70,000 officials, so you can imagine how bloated these officials were.

If it weren't for the fact that they would continue to conquer cities and expand their territory in the future, and they would need to use these officials, they would have been laid off a long time ago!

But that's all in the future, in a short period of time, these officials are bloated and redundant for Xu Yi, and it is naturally impossible for him to expand the number of officials at this time.

Without the imperial examination, civil servants naturally became the only choice for scholars.
