Efficiency is one of the headaches of all dynasties.

People's hearts are different, and their ideas are very different.

Whenever there was a discussion, the civil and military officials held their own opinions and quarreled constantly.

Due to the different opinions of all parties, they often quarrel for ten days and half a month.

It's like disaster relief, you have your difficulties, I have mine, and in the end, after arguing for a long time, there is no solution.

Not to mention the waste of time, it also led to an even more serious disaster, and starvation was everywhere.

Zhu Gaochi has high expectations for the cabinet department, hoping that it can help him solve various livelihood problems more quickly and efficiently.

However, it backfired, and the cabinet officials were all ordinary people of flesh and blood, each with their own thoughts and thoughts, and disputes were inevitable.

As a result, efficiency will inevitably be lowered, and often before things are dealt with, cabinet members have already pinched each other.

The methods he had come up with were largely derived from the methods he had used in the past, including increasing supervision and setting up intermediaries.

But these approaches have their own shortcomings and fail to solve the root cause.

Although in a short period of time, the atmosphere of the cabinet can be improved and the efficiency of deliberations can be improved.

But compared with the method that the emperor's grandfather said, it is like a cloud of mud.

Zhu Gaochi could clearly feel that the method proposed by the emperor's grandfather directly solved the problem of endless quarrels in the cabinet from the root.

Whether it is setting up cabinet leaders who cannot express opinions, or limiting the time and number of times cabinet members can speak, it is greatly improving the efficiency of the cabinet department.

In this way, the operation of the cabinet has a clear and visible flow, and everything rhymes and is in order.

High, simply high!

Zhu Gaochi's thinking turned rapidly, drawing inferences from one case to another, contributing to the construction of the cabinet, and said:

"First of all, the head of the cabinet should have the power to temporarily suspend the deliberations in the event that the deliberations have stalled, and report afterwards to state the reasons.

Second, no one should interrupt a cabinet member's speech, as long as it is not indiscriminate, regardless of his opinion.

Finally, on a case-by-case basis, everything should be discussed around the questions raised, and after the results are reached, they should be presented to the Imperial Review. ”

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's suggestion, Zhu Gaochi is to make small repairs to the subtleties.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is still very satisfied, and it is not easy to think about these things through what he said.

He nodded and said, "You have done a good job, you can touch the bypass, draw inferences, it means that you have thought about it seriously, this matter will be handed over to you, we can rest assured." ”

The various measures taken by the Cabinet Department are to check and fill in the gaps in its basic framework, which directly solves most of the problems in a large sense.

As for those small flaws, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care, in fact, there has never been a perfect system.

Any system, with the passage of time, will inevitably have a variety of problems.

The system that is suitable for the current is a good system, and as for the next one or two hundred years, the system will become unable to adapt to the political ecology of that time, and we really can't blame the ancestors for being incompetent.

It can only be said that the latecomers lack creativity and cannot modify the basic framework, and those who stick to the ancestral system will eventually fall into the quagmire of destruction with the ancestral system.

After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, Zhu Gaochi was very excited, and he couldn't help but think about whether such a method could be extended to other departments.

If it can be widely used, will the administrative efficiency of the Ming Dynasty be greatly improved?

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhu Gaochi still decided to stabilize his hand first, each department has different conditions, and it is different from the cabinet department, so it is really difficult to apply it everywhere.

It's like in the six parts, the order of the upper and lower has already been formed, and if you want to change it, it will inevitably affect everyone's interests.

The resistance encountered at that time can be imagined.

As for the Cabinet Department, because it is a start-up, the organizational structure is very immature, so there is little resistance to the change.

It just so happens that there is a matter of official evaluation that has not yet been resolved, and it is time to try the newly formulated method.

Zhu Gaochi was full of energy, and when he thought of what Grandpa Huang had just said, he felt more and more that Grandpa Huang was unfathomable, and he was simply a god.

Such a perfect means of checks and balances, such a terrifying strengthening of imperial power, such a simple but practical deliberative mechanism.

This is simply incredible, even if a saint is alive, I am afraid that he cannot think of a more subtle method.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but think about the regulations of the official assessment method, and asked: "Grandpa Huang, what do you think is more appropriate to start with the official assessment method?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally will not get involved in this kind of thing that has not yet been customized, in case the national fortune is wrapped around him, it will really outweigh the losses, he said with a smile: "We are not gods, it is impossible to know everything, you think about it yourself, and when you have the charter, you will bring it to us and show it." ”

"Grandson understands, grandson will do it!"

"Go ahead, good life."

Zhu Yuanzhang watched Zhu Gaochi leave with a smile, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fang Cai put forward all the suggestions, and he felt that the momentum of the national fortune was stronger, but the national fortune in his body did not increase.

There is no doubt that at present, his proposal to the cabinet is in line with the previous assumptions, and it is not bad at all.

This is a good start, Zhu Yuanzhang is happy, and there is an example for reference in the future.

Out of the back garden, Zhu Gaochi first summoned Zhan Hui, sorted out what he had just said to Zhu Yuanzhang into articles, and said it.

Zhan Hui was clear-minded, and naturally knew that these proposals had earth-shaking power, and he was surprised in his heart, and he understood that from now on, no matter how much the cabinet changed, it would not be able to escape the emperor's control.

If the previous cabinet department still had the possibility of growing into a behemoth, then the current cabinet department is really similar to a private secretary.

"Your Majesty's talent is really impressive, and the cabinet will no longer worry about inefficiency."

Zhan Hui praised it first, recalling the previous Hongwu algorithm, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that His Majesty's mind was sage, which was really incredible.

Although the method of deliberation of the cabinet is currently only implemented and used within the cabinet department, it may not be impossible to spread it to various departments if it is slightly reformed in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhan Hui's smart head remembered the name again, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, such a subtle and exquisite method of deliberation really makes Weichen admire." Wechen has an idea, I don't know if it's appropriate? ”

"Lord Zhan, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as it is beneficial to the country's society, there is no need to be so formal."

With Zhu Gaochi's approval, Zhan Hui considered the words and said: "The method of deliberation painstakingly created by Your Majesty and His Royal Highness can be said to be shocking. ”

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up, and his heart said yes, the imperial grandfather is old, and he is still working hard and hard for national affairs, how can I, as a grandson, let the imperial grandfather become a vassal of the cabinet?

If you take a name and pass it on to future generations, everyone in the world will know that this is the great achievement of the emperor's grandfather, and they will naturally be grateful to Dade for a long time!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Gaochi praised and said, "Lord Zhan is reasonable, what kind of name should you choose?" ”
