"Decentralization?"

As soon as Lu Chen's words came out, Fu Huan and Gu Simiao instinctively exclaimed at the same time.

"That's right, it's decentralization."

Lu Chen supported his chin with one hand, his elbow rested on the armrest on the side, and said with a relaxed expression: "Since there are so many disadvantages of concentrating power on one monk, it is necessary to separate it, at least the administrative power and the judicial power, and operate independently." ”

In fact, in order to solve the problem fundamentally, it is better to reverse the universal concept of "all ways are light, and only the sages are respected", and the preferential policies of monks such as exemption from taxation should be abolished.

Although there is nothing bad about the way of the sages themselves, after all, those who can become sages are all great existences, and the knowledge and doctrines they left behind cannot be useless, otherwise they will not become the orthodox national studies of many dynasties, and they are valued by the emperors of various dynasties.

At least at the macro level, the study of the sages laid the foundation for the great unification of the Middle-earth Dynasty, not like Xizhou, where the land area is less than seventy percent of the Middle-earth, but there are countless regimes and a whole mosaic.

But the sages are not perfect, and there is no perfect doctrine in this world, and any doctrine is bound to have its limitations.

This way of the sages is okay to build a foundation, but it is useless to govern the country and do things.

There is nothing wrong with the doctrine of the sages, but the problem is the group of people who monopolize the right to interpret the doctrine of the sages.

To put it bluntly, this thing is just a basic stepping stone, in terms of governing the country, those mainstream monks who can only find chapters and excerpts in the books of sages, one is counted as one, and they are all scum.

And such people can often be recognized by others and occupy a place in the political situation of Great Xia, while the "small way cultivators" who can really do things and want to do things are basically not taken seriously.

It's fucked up.

Fundamentally speaking, Lu Chen did not reject the existence of monks, he just looked down on those mainstream monks who specialized in the ways of sages and sages, disdained other paths, and looked down on masters.

It's just that the current mainstream concept is that "all the ways are inferior, only the sages are high", and if you don't specialize in the way of the sages, you can't even be considered a monk.

In fact, those cultivators who practice the so-called sideways should pay more attention to it.

After all, as long as you are a cultivator, you are essentially aiming for the ascension of the Dao, and if you want to improve your strength, enlightenment is the best way, whether it is the path of the sages, the way of counting, or the way of the emperor, as long as you make a breakthrough in the path you are pursuing, you can quickly improve your strength until you achieve the ultimate goal of the ascension of the Dao.

For example, Su Ning, a monk who specializes in the way of things, as long as she can comprehend the principles of all things, understand material changes, or discover certain laws and laws, there is a high probability that she will be able to successfully realize the Tao, and then cultivate like the empress.

This characteristic makes a cultivator more focused on his career than ordinary people, and his beliefs are much stronger than ordinary people.

That's not a bad thing.

Many monks who specialize in the way of the sages will fall into the shackles of searching for chapters and extracting sentences, so many monks will rely on pure cultivation to comprehend the teachings in the books of the sages and gain their own understanding from them, so as to realize the Tao.

If such a person is engaged in learning or something, there is naturally no problem, but if he becomes an official, it will be a disaster for the people.

Therefore, the problem of the ruler is not the monk himself, but the "way" that the monk pursues.

The current monks are inseparable from the way of the sages, and the way of the sages is related to the interests of the elite class of Great Xia, which is basically an equal relationship.

After all, the empress even forced him to prevent him from coming out in the matter of the reform of the clan support system, let alone the battle for domination.

"How do you divide it?"

Fu Huan asked.

Lu Chen's left hand on the armrest, his five fingers tapped back and forth in order, making a regular light sound.

While habitually doing this leisurely movement, he only thought for a moment, and then replied: "In order to distribute power reasonably, it is first necessary to understand the composition and types of power in a county, and the duties of the government, as well as the duties of all officials. ”

"The prefectural ordinance only needs to focus on the administration and concentrate all its energy on civil affairs, while judicial matters, that is, court trials, should be entrusted to other officials, and the department in charge of the judiciary cannot have anything to do with the executive branch, and the prefect of the judicial department is not subject to the jurisdiction of the prefectural ordinance, completely separating the two powers."

Hearing this, Fu Huan pondered carefully.

A moment later, her beautiful eyes flashed quietly.

"Huaiyu, what do you mean by letting Xuan Jiwei have jurisdiction over judicial matters?"

However, Lu Chen shook his head.

"It's not."

Gu Simiao asked softly, "That... Huaiyu, what do you mean......"

"I have a special judicial department in Daxia, and I only need to improve my powers and clarify its responsibilities a little, so that those who should be responsible for criminal crimes can be more conscientious, and increase supervision and supervision."

"Moreover, since those people don't want to take care of so many things, the court will lighten the burden on them, so that they don't have to focus on adjudicating cases in the future, as long as they govern the place well, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and fulfill their duties as the head of a county."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes inexplicably.

"As the saying goes, the court thinks about the local officials so much, and understands them, they should be grateful, and then repay the court with their due achievements, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Simiao and Fu Huan's eyes suddenly became a little subtle.

"Huaiyu is reasonable, this matter should be so."

Fu Huan answered without hesitation.

But Gu Simiao suddenly remembered, it seems that Qian Yiqian, the current secretary of the Criminal Department, has opposed Lu Chen more than once, and the empress is already quite dissatisfied with this guy, if Lu Chen has the heart to do something in criminal law, this Qian Yiqian ......

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Like, there's a good show to watch.

"Judicial matters are not only about adjudicating cases, but also about investigating and arresting cases."

Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Fu Huan.

"The trial of the case can be handed over to the criminal department for regional management, but the investigation of the case, the arrest and other matters must be separated, since the county order is only responsible for governing the locality, and does not have the right to open a public court trial, there is no need to keep those arrests and errands, and the judicial matter is extremely solemn, should not be done at will, and should be handed over to a special person to do."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Huan instantly realized something, and looked at Lu Chen with a somewhat dazed expression.

Lu Chen smiled slightly.

"Although the land of a county is governed by the county order appointed by the imperial court, as far as I know, the one who really has the most contact with the people is actually the yamen in the yamen, so these arresters and errand servants should also be organized and set up a department, called the public security office, which is under the special jurisdiction of the imperial court and is in charge of public security and other matters, and at the same time, this department can also solve problems for the people to a certain extent and maintain the justice of the imperial court......"

"The public security office is under the responsibility of the warden, and is under the dual jurisdiction of the county order and the prefectural-level public security office, and the prefectural-level public security office is under the jurisdiction ......of the prefect and the provincial public security office, and so on, and since the warden has a major responsibility, he cannot be a small official who is not in the stream, and he should be given serious official treatment, and at least he must give people an official position from the ninth grade."

He kept introducing the power of this place called the police station, and Fu Huan also had a lot of strange knowledge in his mind.

After expressing all his thoughts, Lu Chen's eyes gradually became deeper.

"Of course, no matter what power it is, it needs to be effectively supervised, and this most critical link should be handed over to Xuan Jiwei."

Hearing this, Fu Huan's eyes suddenly froze.

She hesitated slightly, and then asked, "But, the stall is so big, Xuanjiwei's manpower ......"

Lu Chen didn't answer this question immediately, but asked meaningfully: "Liangyu, the number of Xuanjiwei, there shouldn't be many people in the government and the opposition who know about it, right?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Huan subconsciously glanced at Gu Simiao on the side.

"Except for His Majesty's absolute henchmen, no one knows about Xuan Jiwei's situation, and the only people Your Majesty absolutely trusts are General Gu and you, who have turned the tide."

"If that's the case, it's simple."

Hearing Fu Huan's answer, Lu Chen smiled.

"Just pound out the rack in the place where the Xuanji Guard is supposed to be set up."

"Huh?"

Fu Huan tilted her head.

"Shelf?"

"Yes, shelf."

Lu Chen's expression was meaningful.

"Xuanjiwei has the duty of supervising local officials, and since this is the case, he should not deal with officials in the first place, so, for the time being, the local government only needs to know that it is enough for the imperial court to set up Xuanji Guards in various places, and there is no need to know the details of Xuanji Guards in various regions."

"And Xuan Jiwei should have gone deep into the local area to investigate the people's feelings, it is impossible to sit in the yamen like a noble lord to taste tea and talk about Taoism, at the same time, he has an imperial waist card, and he can freely mobilize and coordinate the local judicial force, no one is allowed to disobey, otherwise it is the crime of rebellion."

Hearing this, Fu Huan suddenly understood.

Lu Chen intends to use a method similar to a suspicious tactic to make officials from all over the world like frightened birds......

Thinking of this, Fu Huan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Of course, she could realize that this was just an expedient measure, and it was impossible to fool everyone, but as long as it had a certain effect, it was enough to buy some time for the empress.

Of course, Lu Chen's proposal is not flawless, after all, as long as things need to be done, there must be loopholes, such as the Overseer itself is a loophole.

But Xuan Jiwei is the most elite force in the Holy Realm, the core combat power of the Cangming Saint King, and he is a person from the Saint Realm, and he is not messily involved in Great Xia, he is only loyal to the Saint King, as long as the Cangming Saint King orders them to assist the empress, everyone will implement it meticulously.

To put it simply, it is an absolutely credible existence.

As long as the Cangming Holy King remained firmly on the empress's side, Xuan Jiwei would be able to perfectly perform his duties as an overseer and cut through obstacles for the future of the Great Xia Dynasty.

As for what happens after the end of the Sacred Realm and the Great Xia honeymoon period, the next Cangming Holy King and the Empress parting ways, and Xuan Jiwei no longer working for Great Xia, it depends on whether Lu Chen's ability can find a long-term solution.

But in any case, for now, the method proposed by Lu Chen has been able to temporarily solve the problem of insufficient manpower in Xuanjiwei.

"This law... Wonderful! ”

She looked at Lu Chen with admiration, and there was a glimmer in her eyes.

"Huaiyu is really smart, and in just a few words, he solved this problem that has plagued me for many days."

"Uh..."

Lu Chen subconsciously touched his head.

Well, jet-black bushy.

At this time, Gu Simiao suddenly turned her head with a smile and looked at Fu Huan.

She first congratulated Fu Huan as if it was a routine, and then said softly: "By the way, Commander Fu, as the commander of Xuanjiwei, you are not only an important part of the restructuring of the Tiance Mansion, but also monitor the world for Your Majesty. ”

"Just like now, it is obviously a day of rest, but Commander Fu has to work hard for state affairs, and discuss with Huaiyu how to solve problems.

The sudden change in topic made Lu Chen stunned for a moment.

What the hell, why is this girl suddenly crooked?

Fu Huan reacted almost instantly.

She looked at Gu Simiao's eyes meaningfully, and a rather sharp light flashed in her eyes.

"General Gu has won the award, compared to General Gu, you are a model or something, you don't dare to be a subordinate."

Gu Simiao smiled.

"Commander Fu has a heavy responsibility, his heart is about Great Xia, he will not waste a moment of time, and he will solve problems for His Majesty all the time, I am afraid that although he is here now, his heart is in Ziji City, right?"

Speaking of this, she glanced out the window inexplicably.

"Now that the problem has been solved, and the carriage is not far from the capital now, Commander Fu doesn't have to force himself, and he and Huaiyu go to the poor countryside of Taihe County to waste time."

At this moment, Gu Simiao's fox tail was quietly revealed.

However, before she could finish speaking, Fu Huan decisively interrupted: "General Gu is looking down. ”

As she spoke, she picked up an apple from the fruit bowl on the table, and then turned into a spiritual knife, peeling the apple and said:

"It's a person below, not a machine, when the manpower is poor, you will be tired below, it's rare for Xiu Mu to travel with Huaiyu and General Gu today, and I've been too busy recently, and I'm a little tired, just go over to relax and adjust my state."

As he spoke, only the white flesh of the apple in his hand remained.

"Moreover, Huaiyu also said that the body is the foundation of everything, and to do things, you must learn to combine work and rest, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

After the words fell, Fu Huan directly handed the apple in her hand to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen: "??? ”

"It's a thank you."

Fu Huan smiled and said: "Huaiyu has solved such a big problem for me, if I don't express it, I really can't help it." ”

"Oh."

Lu Chen didn't think much about it, he directly reached out and took it, and took a bite.

Gan. This is Apple? Why is it so sour?!

As soon as he took a sip, he inexplicably felt that the air in the entire carriage had an inexplicable sour smell.
