The cabinet of the dynasty, except for special circumstances, such as the special position of the cabinet, has an extremely strict and perfect promotion mechanism.

For example, the cabinet ministers must be born in the Hanlin Yuan and have served as local officials close to the people, and their official reputation, reputation, and political achievements must not be bad.

It is then nominated by the cabinet, and only after the court pushes the winner can he enter the cabinet.

When there is a major political matter in the imperial court, or when there is a vacancy in the civil and military ministers, the emperor will order a meeting of the courtiers to discuss and weigh it appropriately, and then report to the emperor to take a decree to decide, and the pros and cons of the pros and cons of the political affairs are discussed, which is called the court council; The proposal for the promotion and appointment of personnel is called the court push.

According to the rules, the cabinet scholars, the ministers of the Ministry of Shangshu, by the court, or by special order, the following and the sacrificial wine by the Ministry of Officials and the three or more of the court, the Great Changqing (Zheng Sanpin) under the Ministry of Promotion, the general staff below, the Ministry of Officials in the Hongzheng Gate will be elected, Zhan affairs by the cabinet, each yamen by the palm print, in the foreign officials, but the governor of the Tingtui, the nine Qing Gong, the Ministry of Officials. According to the lack of staff, the officials above the third grade will be raised.

Among them, the Ministry of Rites is often the most popular to enter the cabinet, such as the former cabinet chief assistant Wei Wenzhenggong, who entered the cabinet with the Ministry of Rites.

The previous secretary of the Ministry of Rites, He Yaomin, is now a cabinet assistant minister and a scholar of the Bohol Palace.

And one of the systems that bothered the emperor the most, that is, the cabinet appointment and dismissal of Great Xia, the emperor could not promote his own people as he wanted.

He can vaguely convey his intentions to the courtiers, but the cabinet of the person he wants to promote does not agree to the nomination, or the court cannot pass it......

I'm sorry, but he doesn't have his share in the position of Cabinet Minister. Even if the emperor put the knife on the neck of the courtier, it could not change the result of the court push.

The ministers of Daxia Toutie dared to carry the coffin board to the gate of the imperial city to make trouble, and whoever was in the big position had to admit defeat.

The perfect and strict promotion system can not only allow people with excellent character and talent to be in charge of the country's affairs to the greatest extent.

It can also avoid the emperor to the greatest extent because of personal preferences, and select incompetent people who can only slap the horse.

Just like at the beginning of Yuan Youchu, the four auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, Qi Bohan, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, and Chu Bangzheng, the head of the Shu Party, were all people that the emperor wanted to get down, but the emperor was stunned that there was nothing he could do about these two people.

In the end, I still held my stomach and endured it for six or seven years before I adjusted the cabinet personnel under the delegation of power from the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is already in his prime, and he doesn't have much time left. Xia Lingxing and Guo Peigui are too soft, Wen Tongxuan is not good at governance, He Yaomin is not good at strategy, only Lin Ruhai is the best candidate for government in terms of talent and character......"

cough cough cough ......

Under the excitement, Zhou Jiong coughed repeatedly, and his face was flushed with an unhealthy red.

The emperor personally brought the warm tea on the table, wanting the old man to drink saliva and relax.

saw that Zhou Jiong did not take the tea, but grabbed the emperor's wrist hard.

"Your Majesty, the old minister ignored the biggest question of whether the Great Xia River can be a family for eternity, and that is people!"

"No matter how the system of the court changes, no matter how perfect the system is, it is also implemented by people. Only people's thoughts, people's aspirations, and people's thoughts are the most important. ”

"The words of the ancestors have not faded for thousands of years, and they are the foundation of self-cultivation and Qi family governance and peace in the world. However, the sons are free and chaotic, and the selfish interests are abolished, which is a great disadvantage. The old minister is willing to use his own body to seek the holy words of the country and open his eyes for the people. ”

"This road is long and rugged, and the road ahead is full of swords and swords, and the slightest carelessness may lead to a catastrophe. If the old minister dies, he will die, and the big government will not stop. Those who have sufficient prestige and outstanding talents in the DPRK and China are only Lin Hai and Xu Jin. Xu Qingteng was born with great ambition and talent, but he lacked qualifications. After the old minister, Lin Ruhai can be the person in charge. After Lin Hai, Xu Jin took it. After Xu Jin......"

Zhou Jiong's gaze turned to Jia Cong, who was already stunned, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has a good eye, who would have thought that the boy who could trip himself when he walked would have the posture of Zaifu!" ”

……

Zhou Jiong, the first assistant to the cabinet, "fell ill", and the central government affairs instantly pressed on the remaining ministers.

In the past, the big guys didn't have a special feeling, but when Zhou Jiong was not busy in the room for a day, the remaining scholars instantly felt the pressure doubled.

And the most troublesome point is that whether it is the deputy assistant of the cabinet Xia Lingxing or several other university scholars, they seem to lack the talent to make some decisions.

Don't underestimate this, just because of the lack of decision, there are obviously several ways to solve political affairs, and it is difficult for Xia Xing to make up his mind to implement which.

In the end, it was in front of the emperor, and the emperor implemented it.

"Master Zhou is right, Xia Ling is good and scheming, and he can't be in charge!"

The crown prince Liu Hong, who was helping to deal with government affairs in front of the emperor, obviously didn't hear what the emperor meant, and asked suspiciously: "Father, the son thinks that Xia Shi has done a good job!" Isn't it good that military affairs should come from the imperial pen, and the cabinet should have a few more opinions for the monarch to choose? ”

"Great Xia has a territory of thousands of miles and thousands of people. There are more than 1,000 copies of official documents sent to the center every day, and if everything is approved by the king, can you last a year or two? ”

The emperor's question made the crown prince Liu Hong fall into deep thought, he also dealt with those twists and turns, and each letter had to be read carefully, for fear of making a mistake in a place and harming the people.

Such an extremely energy-consuming thing, not to mention a year, but at most a few days, even those who are beaten with iron have to lie on the sickbed.

When the manpower is finally exhausted, the cabinet must have a person who can make decisions and have the ability to take charge of the government.

The emperor did not preach to his son again, but whispered to Xia Shouzhong:

"Big companion, you will go to the household department now, and Zhao Lin will enter the palace like a sea!"

……

Although they are about to get married in early June, Jia Cong and Daiyu are focusing on official business.

On the third day of the first lunar month, news came from the front line of Xuanda that the first batch of war horses from the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate were sent outside the Great Wall and taken over by the people of Taifu Temple.

There is silver to open the way, and from beginning to end, there is almost no obstacle, and the road is smooth.

The officials of the Taifu Temple were directly replaced, and those newcomers who came from the Ministry of Officials were all full of energy, for fear of displeasing their superiors, and they cut off their heads in anger, and there was no mistake at all.

This gave Jia Cong enough time to discuss "knowledge" with the old man Zhou Jiong on the "sickbed".

"His Royal Highness's words, the old minister agrees very much!"

Zhou Jiong sat Jia Cong and Daiyu in front of him, and after listening to Daiyu's opinion on women's enrollment, he nodded and said: "The development of the dynasty seems to have fallen into a bottleneck, and the old minister found out before that population is one of the main factors restricting the development of our dynasty. If women can learn a skill, or even become an official in the court, it can greatly relieve the pressure on the population of our dynasty! ”

The population of Daxia has exceeded 10,000, is the population large? More, but not much!

Tens of thousands of people have been scattered into the territory of thousands of miles, and many places are rarely inhabited, and there are not even people who cultivate the land.

Women are inherently frail, but it cannot be denied that many times, women have an advantage over men.

Just like the textile factory in the Huangzhuang, Lao Chen thinks this is an excellent example. Men and women weave, and if women can be paid a fair amount of cloth for weaving, it will be enough to support the needs of the family...... There is also the matter of the doctor girl that His Highness said before, and the old minister thinks that this is a very good strategy! ”

Whether it is the weaving factory under the Ministry of Industry, the Xiufang and the medical clinic that Daiyu has just founded, they are all major measures to promote women to go out of the house.

Moreover, in the case of weaving factories and shows, the monthly salary of female workers is not inferior to the wages earned by men working outside.

There are some skilled female workers, and her salary even exceeds that of the seven-rank official......

"Of course, it's the knowledge that counts. The old minister would send a letter to the cabinet, urging the local government to improve the public school system. Since the law has been made, whoever it is, must obey it! ”

Jia Cong took the opportunity to interject: "The people are blindly obedient, and most of them have the luck of not holding the people accountable. It is better for the imperial court to make a rule, and if a school-age child is not enrolled in school, his parents should be punished with three months of forced labor! ”

"Conscription?"

Zhou Jiong frowned: "The system of conscription has been abolished, and it is not appropriate to mention this again." It's better to fine the silver ......"

"Don't! Ge Lao, don't you still know the virtues of our officials? ”

Jia Cong hurriedly stopped Zhou Jiong's terrible thoughts, what kind of joke, if he was fined silver, I am afraid that the officials below would laugh crazy.

Zhou Jiong also realized his mistake, and changed his words with a wry smile: "What you kid said is that it is absolutely not okay to fine silver." However, this strategy of conscription will also make those officials take advantage of the loopholes. ”

"Huh?"

Jia Cong was puzzled, but saw Zhou Jiong and said, "Conscription, it's silver!" ”

"That'...... It is better to let the parents of the students go to the school together and read with their children until they can write the "Great Xia Law" silently! ”

As she spoke, Daiyu herself laughed.

Since you don't know the law and don't abide by the law, let's go and study the law hard!

Zhou Jiong didn't expect Daiyu to come up with such an alternative idea, and after thinking about it carefully, it is really possible to make those ignorant and fearless people understand the majesty of the national law.

Think about it, in a school building full of turnips, there is a rough man with "Da Xia Law" in his hand......

It is estimated that if he is a normal person, he will be too ashamed to raise his head!

"Also, the imperial court should encourage culture and education. All school-age children who are enrolled in school and have excellent grades, whether male or female, shall be rewarded with money and food......"

If it weren't for the fact that the current dynasty was not enough to support a comprehensive education subsidy, Jia Cong would have to put forward the egg and milk project.

It's a pity that the money in the household department is not enough, and Jia Cong will continue to draw a map in his heart.

The pace of colonization must be accelerated, and if the dolls of Great Xia want to grow taller, they must have enough money and food as a foundation.

So, what Oriental devils and Western devils, all of them are ready to accept the strong "love" of the Celestial Father!

……

When, when, when......

The morning bell and the evening drum, the fifth day of the sixth month, the pilgrimage will be carried out as usual.

After the ministers entered the palace, they were surprised to find that the old man Zhou Jiong, the first assistant of the cabinet, who had been sick for several days, had returned to the court.

Long live my emperor, Xia Shouzhong routinely shouted that something happened.

At this time, Daiyu was the first to stand up in the team of the Ministry of Rites and held up the folds that had been discussed with Zhou Jiong and Jia Cong two days ago.

"Kick off the father, the son has the ...... to play"

Although the ministers were surprised, Daiyu's deeds did not touch their interests, whether it was urging the local officials to pay attention to women's schooling, or forcing the people to let their school-age children study in public schools under the situation of the law, and rewarding those with excellent grades.

The big guys all knew the status of the princess of the Lin family in the emperor's heart, and they didn't go to sweep the emperor's interest, and almost without any objection, they quickly passed this suggestion.

But then it was interesting, Zhou Jiong, the first assistant of the cabinet, suddenly opened his mouth and proposed to the emperor to increase the proposal of cabinet ministers.

It's like someone pouring a scoop of water into a hot pan of oil and frying it!

Since the founding of the Great Xia, the prime minister was abolished first, and then the cabinet was established.

The number of cabinet ministers is only two at a small time, and it does not exceed five at most times.

For example, during the Zhaowu period, almost a custom was formed, and the bachelors of the cabinet were always four people.

Even in the Yuanyou Dynasty, in the past few years, there were four university scholars and auxiliary politicians.

The current structure of the cabinet is like this: Zhou Jiong is the first assistant of the cabinet and a scholar of the Middle Pole Palace; Xia Ling is the second assistant of the cabinet and a scholar of the Jianji Temple; Guo Peigui is an assistant minister of the cabinet and a scholar of Wenyuange; Wen Tongxuan is an assistant minister of the cabinet and a scholar of Wu Yingdian University; He Yaomin is a cabinet assistant minister and a scholar of the Po Ho Temple; Hai Gangfeng is an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and concurrently serves as the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Inspectorate.

The six-member cabinet is already the largest number of people in the 100th anniversary of the dynasty.

But Zhou Jiong, the first assistant of the cabinet, even wants the emperor to increase the number of cabinet ministers, isn't this a disguised division of his own power? Is Zhou Jiong old and confused?

Of course not, Old Man Zhou Jiong is going to make a big move!

"The old minister thinks that Lin Hai, the head of the household, has a noble character and can be ...... Therefore, I would like to remind Your Majesty today that you can be promoted to the Cabinet to assist Your Majesty in implementing the new policy......"

"Lin Qing is indeed both capable and political, according to the system, let's push it!"

The emperor naturally will not violate the rules formed in the past hundred years, although he wants to directly appoint Lin Ruhai into the cabinet, but he will not break this rule.

Zhou Jiong and the emperor sang and harmonized, and a fool could see that this matter had been discussed by the two most powerful people in the dynasty a long time ago.

There was an uproar in the Fengtian Palace, and the eyes focused on Lin Ruhai were shocked, envious, jealous and resentful.

The officials of the six ministries and the nine kings and the imperial history of the capital, the sacrificial wine and other two or three public officials began to vote, and Lin Ruhai himself of course voted for himself, like colleagues who had a good relationship with him, and most of them also voted in favor.

In the end, Lin Ruhai passed the court push with an absolute vote.

"In this way, pass on my will, Lin Hai, the secretary of the Jin Household Department, is the auxiliary minister of the cabinet and the scholar of the Prayer Palace, Lin Qing, I will hand over the matter of the new law to you!"

Rumble!

The ministers all understood that this could not be stopped, and the emperor's last sentence was something that no one could think of.

"Lin Ruhai entered the cabinet in order to preside over the change of the law!"

……

"Your Majesty, the minister is now roasted on the fire!"

In the palace of diligence, Lin Ruhai bowed to the emperor with a wry smile: "The new law is difficult to do, and the minister has the heart of martyrdom, and he is not afraid of being roasted and cooked." Ranchen himself was afraid that he would miss the major events of the country. Therefore, I would like to ask for a holy decree from Your Majesty......"
