Volume 1 The Men of the Year in the Capital Chapter 30 Reform of the Privy Council
Lu Chengfeng left the Chengnan Courtyard, but the doubts in his heart still continued unabated. He didn't know why the killer he had chased before suddenly disappeared into the south of the city.
Maybe there was something in the Chengnan Courtyard that he didn't notice, or maybe the killer seemed to be reminding him of something, although Lu Changfeng had some doubts about the Chengnan Courtyard, but he was not in a hurry to explore more deeply.
His instincts told him that if he continued to delve deeper, he might run into problems that even he couldn't solve on his own.
Although there are two demon clans in the south of the city that look extremely kind, when Lu Chengfeng has a little thought, he will inexplicably have a feeling of palpitations.
It seemed that there was something in the dark telling him not to delve into it, although Lu Chengfeng was a little skeptical, but he still gave up the idea of delving.
Because the existence of this planet has broken some of the worldviews he had established before, Lu Chengfeng will not easily act without being sure, or if there is the slightest threat to his life.
It's just that since then, the Seongnam Annexes have become a hurdle in his heart, a place where he has great curiosity, but has to stop exploring because of his seemingly absurd intuition.
What's more, even Lu Chengfeng was able to discover the two demon clans here, so how could someone who had something to do with this place not find out?
Maybe today's incident was deliberately done by the people behind it, and this speculation is also one of the reasons why Lu Chengfeng left firmly.
And just after Lu Chengfeng left the Chengnan Courtyard, a mysterious person appeared among the others in the south of the city, sitting on the stone table again, drinking ambergris tea.
"Is this really possible?" asked one of the guards standing beside him.
"Nothing is 100% successful, many things need to be done as long as there is a certain feasibility, as for success or not, it depends on the result. ”
After listening to the mysterious man, the guard lowered his head and said nothing else.
The mysterious man took the teacup, crushed it as well, and then walked to the side of the ginkgo tree, forgetting the trunk of the ginkgo tree, which had a life span of hundreds of years, and then walked to the side of the lake, and chopped his feet.
This mysterious person's cultivation was so high that just by chopping his feet, the old turtle that had lived for more than two hundred years was suddenly shaken out from the bottom of the lake, and the entire lake surface splashed more than ten feet high as if it had exploded.
"Your Excellency. ”
The old turtle trembled and saluted the businessman, looking very afraid of the other party, even frightened.
"You're doing a great job, you can get out of here. ”
The mysterious man looked at the old turtle, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his smile was very sinister.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
The old turtle was very excited after hearing the mysterious man's words, and quickly turned around to leave, as if he did not want to stay here for a moment.
Then just when the old turtle just turned around, the mysterious man pierced his body with a sword, and at the same time, the life force in the old turtle's body quickly declined and lost, and the human form transformed into could not be maintained, and soon turned into an old turtle, which looked very huge, almost comparable to the wellhead next to it.
"You?"
The old turtle didn't blink an eye when he died, and he fell down like this without finishing a word, pitiful for him who had been practicing hard for hundreds of years, but still only stayed at the peak of the innate realm, but now he couldn't even save his life.
The huge ginkgo tree not far away seemed to be still asleep, unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
"Let's stew this old turtle! Take care of the aftermath. ”
After killing the old turtle with a sword, the mysterious man turned around and said to his guard, and then disappeared in an instant.
And all this, Lu Chengfeng, who had already left the Chengnan Courtyard, had no idea.
After leaving the Chengnan Annex, Lu Chengfeng returned to the Privy Council, except for occasionally dealing with official business, he has been drilling in the room to inquire about the files, but the functions of the Privy Council are relatively large, but after all, it is a newly established institution, if you talk about the files, there are many things that are not as good as the six departments of one cabinet and one court that have been continued since the founding of the country.
Although Lu Chengfeng is now the deputy of the Privy Council, he doesn't like the handling of these documents very much, because the ancient people's methods of dealing with documents are too cumbersome and not easy at all.
It is better to say that the statistics of grain and grass, the budget for military spending, and so on, all require a long time to work, and if a simpler way is adopted, the time for work will be greatly reduced, and the efficiency will be greatly improved.
Lu Chengfeng was busy for most of the day, but he still didn't find any useful information, and then he was ready to start reforming the Privy Council system to a certain extent.
The first thing to start with is a lot of unnecessary cumbersome workflows, these cumbersome and complex workflows, can be replaced with more convenient and concise processes, and then with Arabic numerals, tables and other ways, not only to improve work efficiency, but also look at a glance, very convenient.
In addition to these, Lu Chengfeng is also preparing to gradually promote many work-related formulas and equations, but the latter has already involved basic education issues, and it is unrealistic to change them in a short period of time.
Then step by step, the officials were given basic mathematical knowledge, even statistics and economics, and finally they could be qualified to work in some modern ways.
Although Lu Chengfeng had the idea of teaching modern knowledge of the earth in this world from the beginning, he needed an identity, a platform, and someone to support him.
Now he can't do it on a large scale, but he can start with the Privy Council under his jurisdiction.
One day he could even hope that all school-age children in the Great Liang Dynasty would one day be able to afford to go to school, but in this situation where any natural or man-made disaster could make it impossible for large-scale farmers to survive, it was really impossible to promote education for all.
In the final analysis, the productivity of this era is too backward, even if it is in a prosperous era, it is only able to meet the needs of food and clothing, and most of the children who can go to school are still some children with relatively well-off families.
Of course, in addition to some people who have achieved fame, there are also some people who are more talented in cultivation who will choose to enter a certain sect and embark on the path of cultivation. But such people are also in the minority, and even fewer than those who are capable of learning.
Although there are some places in the imperial court that specialize in learning and cultivating, they are basically monopolized by the big families, and only extremely talented people can enter and practice in them.
Therefore, most of the people who can enter the sect to practice are poor children, but there are also some relatively large sects that can attract the children of the big families to practice.
For example, the Haotian Palace of the Jin State and the Academy of the Liang Kingdom.
The academy of the Liang Kingdom was founded by a Jindan immortal and was not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
After walking out of the room, Lu Chengfeng began to hold a meeting when most of the officials of the Privy Council were relatively free.
And this meeting will determine the future development direction and strategy of the Privy Council, so Lu Chengfeng is still very cautious, he has regarded the Privy Council as his first base camp, and many of his ideals and ambitions and some of his own personal affairs will start a new milestone from here.
After hearing Lu Chengfeng's thoughts, most of the senior officials actually held a skeptical attitude, although they were optimistic about Lu Chengfeng's talent and ability, but this is a matter of the system, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness, although some people do not resist in their hearts and maintain a wait-and-see attitude, but there are still some slightly conservative people who are somewhat dissatisfied.
"How does Lord Lu want to reform the system? Whether this kind of major event has to wait for the general to come back before making a decision, or is it to play Your Majesty. ”
As soon as the officials sat down, some people raised a series of questions about Lu Chengfeng. Lu Chengfeng smiled, and did not have the slightest annoyance, after all, people in this era have great limitations of the times in many aspects, which he understands very well.
It is precisely because of this that he not only wants to change the system, but also to change the thinking of these people and even wants to ask for a combination of solutions.
"Don't worry, my lord, here I will ask you a question, do you think that the official affairs you usually deal with are a bit cumbersome? Do you feel that the efficiency is very low, and a statistic will take a long time, consuming a lot of manpower, material and financial resources......
When Lu Chengfeng threw out these questions, those officials looked at each other one by one, wondering what this young Lord Lu wanted to do?
It would have taken a long time to deal with these things, and it was inevitable that they would be cumbersome, which was a well-known thing throughout the court.
Why did you hear Lord Lu say this, because he thought they couldn't work!
They have always been conscientious! They must have been more diligent than his deputy to the Privy Council!
Okay!
Since the deputy envoy of the Privy Council entered the Privy Council, he has not been in the Privy Council for long except after eating a little, and he is really not dedicated at all, but now he is embarrassed to complain about them.
This is probably the true thoughts of many officials in the Privy Council, after all, the entire Privy Council is very large, and it has to deal with extremely complex official documents every day, how can it be handled so quickly like Lu Chengfeng.
Do you think the Privy Council is so good?
But since he entered the Privy Council and became the Deputy Privy Council, he must bear the corresponding responsibilities.
"Lord Lu means that we are not diligent enough to work? My grandson thinks that he is much more diligent than adults, I don't know what adults do after ordering every day?
This official is really not polite at all, and he does not treat Lu Chengfeng as his boss at all, maybe this Lord Sun is the official in the Privy Council who has some dissatisfaction with Lu Chengfeng!
