Chapter 621 The Prime Minister Was Beaten

Compared with the official system of all dynasties, Wang Ning'an's impression was relatively simple and clear in the Ming Dynasty. As for the official system of the Han and Tang Dynasties, some pre-Qin official positions were retained, such as Sikong, Taiwei, Shizhong, Pushe... It is difficult to figure out what they do anyway.

So during this restructuring, it was not just Wang Anshi's proposal to restore the old system of three provinces and six ministries, but actually imitating the Ming Dynasty and establishing a more concise administrative system. Of course, Wang Ning'an couldn't say this.

However, the entire new structure is already very similar to that of the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, the Zhengshi Hall is similar to the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the ministers in the Zhengshi Hall are serious prime ministers, not auxiliary ministers of the Ming Dynasty. The difference between the prime minister and the prime minister is just a difference between heaven and earth.

Obviously, the Prime Minister is better able to command all officials and promote administrative affairs.

In addition, the Censorate was abolished in the Ming Dynasty and replaced by the Censorate, which was easily transformed into the Cabinet boss’s rank.

The Song Dynasty retained the Censorate, and the Censor General and the Prime Minister were not in charge of each other, so they could better supervise the Political Affairs Hall.

The Censorate has also been adjusted, and the entire supervision power has been strengthened. In addition to the original Censorate system, the Censorate and the Binding Department have been merged into the Censorate, and four additional officials have been added to the Censorate, and the power of the Censorate can be refuted. The emperor's imperial edict can be refuted and rejected, with extremely heavy power.

Zhang Fangping was naturally happy and encouraged by this adjustment, and even rolled up his sleeves and couldn't wait to do a big fight.

Now all the problems are concentrated on the Privy Council.

This super yamen, which can be compared with the Eastern Palace, has to enter history and become an official office under the jurisdiction of the Political Affairs Hall. Although neither Di Qing nor Bao Zheng are people who love power, they need to be responsible for the hundreds of thousands of Qiu Ba and cannot sit idly by and watch the power of the warrior be deprived.

"In fact, it is better for military personnel to adjust the Privy Council."

Wang Ning'an explained his idea, "In the future, the Privy Council will hand over the power of dispatching troops to the Ministry of War, which will be in charge of military dispatch, food and grass supply, and military vehicles and horses... The power is indeed amazing. However, the Privy Council will have the power to train troops. In the future, recruiting new troops, officer training, and promotion and evaluation will require approval from the Privy Council, and the Ministry of War will order it. Moreover, from then on, the Privy Council will be specially led by military personnel!"

Di Qing is not a ignorant person either.

As a military man, he became a Privy Councilor, which has broken the convention. Privy Councilors have always been civil servants, which means that civil servants in the East and West Governments have the final say.

No matter how high the Privy Councilor is, no matter how powerful the power is, he will not speak for the warrior.

In the past, Xia Shu, Pang Ji, and Liang Shi, these people, without exception, stood on the side of civil servants at critical moments.

Instead of having a great Privy Councilor who can't be seen, it is better to have a small Privy Councilor who can truly hold it in the hands of a warrior. Although his power has been reduced, it is real!

Moreover, if you have the power to command the troops, you will need to send military generals from the Privy Council in the future. There will be no dilemma of generals not knowing the soldiers or soldiers not knowing the generals.

Di Qing was very satisfied, and Bao Zheng felt that nothing was wrong.

Later, the Privy Council commanded the troops in full-time and was responsible for fighting. The three yamen, which were originally responsible for commanding the troops, also made adjustments. The Guards' Personal Army Cavalry and the Guards' Personal Army Infantry Department were included in the Privy Council. As for the Palace Front Office, they were still directly responsible to the emperor.

...

As soon as this reform plan was released, it was a big blow, completely destroying the original bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty.

But it is undeniable that this system is much simpler than before.

The Central Government Affairs Hall has six ministries under its jurisdiction and is responsible for all government affairs. The Censorate is responsible for supervision. The Privy Council is nominally under the Political Affairs Hall, but commanding troops is a very professional matter, and the Privy Council is relatively independent. As for the Palace Front Office, which is responsible for intelligence and spies, it is still the emperor's forbidden body.

Government affairs, military affairs, supervision, spy, and four major organizations are clear.

In addition, there are the Royal Bank managed by Wang Ning'an, Zongzheng Temple under the charge of King Zhao Yunbi of Beihai County, and the Audit Department under the jurisdiction of Han Jiang.

The seven major yamen formed the core of power in the central Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen was satisfied with this result.

The powers of officials are unified. The Minister of War is the Ministry of War, and the staff is the Ministry of War, and the staff is the Ministry of War, which is clear and there is no vague space.

Moreover, with each carrot and a pit, there will never be any chaotic situation of dozens of Dali judges or a lot of Hanlin bachelors.

After the position is clear, at least more than half of the officials can be removed, saving tens of millions of trump cards.

Such a large sum of money, what's wrong with doing!

Expand the army, wipe out the Western Xia, attack the Great Liao, and unblock the Western Regions... Uncle Zhao is ambitious and wants to use his big moves with great energy!

...

Wang Ning'an has been busy for many days and finally has half a day of leisure.

The two knights in the house grew very fast and had already run around the world. They caused trouble everywhere. After each incident, they looked like they were laughing and crying, making people have no temper at all.

Of course, not everyone can do anything about Erha.

For example, when Xiao Guanyin came, she brought two Khitan dogs.

The fierce and brave dogs are definitely at the level of the God of War. When they appear, the Wang family's Hakka collectively became cowardly, all crowded together, trembling, and their appearance was as grievance as they were, and their arrogance flew away, like a group of angry bags.

"One thing is to bring down another thing, it seems that I need to keep a few tiny dogs."

Wang Ning'an sighed while having a meal.

Gou Ya'er was cooking rice, suddenly put down her bowl and said in a silence: "You can't keep a dog."

"Why? You can't just allow the state officials to set fires and the people to light the lights?"

Xiao Tong said solemnly: "Because I have no money."

Wang Ning'an glared and sneered: "Will I have no money? Are you kidding?"

"No kidding!"

This time, Yang Xi was speaking. She said seriously: "Master, from today on, we will have to save money and not spend money randomly. After all, you are the only one who is left to receive your salary, which is not enough to eat!"

Su Baniang also smiled and said, "Yes, and the master's salary is only 30% of the original one!"

Seeing Wang Ning'an's face full of surprise, Su Baniang explained to him... Originally, Wang Ning'an was a high-ranking official at the throne and made a lot of contributions. Gou Yaer and Xiao Tong received a salary since they were born. Yang Xi and Su Baniang were the wife of the imperial decree and also had a salary. With Wang Ning'an, five people were enough to maintain a zoo.

However, with the implementation of the new official system, Xiao Tong and Gou Yaer were dismissed, and the wife's salary was also stopped, leaving Wang Ning'an alone to make money in the whole family.

What's even more terrible is that Wang Ning'an was the second-rank senior official with the title of Ping Zhangshi, a subordinate of Tongzhongshu. After this restructuring, Tong Ping Zhangshi was gone, and the president of Royal Bank was only the third-rank official.

The salary was reduced by a lot, and the rewards for various New Year festivals were also cancelled.

In a year, Wang Ning'an can receive about 2,000 guan.

Speaking of which, the money is not small, but I have to raise national treasures, raise huha, raise war horses, raise dogs, and have a large family... Some of them are really tight.

After the reforms, the result was that it was first changed to oneself.

Wang Ning'an didn't know whether to cry or laugh... "Forget it, our family doesn't mean to pay. Don't you have any property in your hands? If it really doesn't work, go find my mother and ask her to give some money to help her poor children and grandchildren. It's okay!"

"no!"

Yang Xi shook his head, "Prevent others and yourself. The master personally presided over the reform of his official position. As a result, you don't abide by it yourself. How can you convince others? Although our family has many industries, in order to avoid suspicion, they must be dealt with. So... from today on, for the sake of the master's reputation, our family must live on a salary, and other than that, we will not take any penny."

Yang Xi said with a stern face: "Master, you have to save money and prepare for a hard life!"

The whole family, including his daughter who can't speak, the room full of Erha, and the rolling roosters on the tree branches outside, all looked at Wang Ning'an's jokes with a humble face!

"This life is impossible!"

Wang Ning'an was so angry that he grabbed two steamed buns and went back to the study to eat them.

"It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!"

Wang Ning'an looked at the ceiling helplessly and thought to himself that I might write two more novels, or be a shameless copywriter, and get some money for the manuscript...

With his current status, even if he publishes a wordless book, as long as he signs Wang Ning'an's name, countless people will flock to him... Alas, forget it!

Lead by example!

2,000 stakes are also a lot, which is ten times more than the Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty!

While Wang Ning'an was thinking about how to save money to live, there was a problem with Wen Yanbo.

It turned out that after the discussion was made, Wen Yanbo was responsible for reporting the reform to Zhao Zhen... Somehow, the draft of the new official system was leaked.

Dozens of yamen have to be laid off, half of the officials have to be cut, and even if they are retained, their salaries and benefits must be reduced... What is this to do? Will people still let them live?

What about the Banking and Taiwan Department, the Court of Justice, the Court of Justice, the Court of Justice, the Court of Censorship, the Temple of Sishui... Hundreds of officials gathered together and killed them to the Political Affairs Hall.

When they wanted to find Wen Yanbo to argue, Lao Wen entered the palace to report on the restructuring matters. The group of people were idle, but refused to give up and ran to Xuande Gate again.

Just as he happened to meet Wen Yanbo, the crowd was angry and stopped Wen Yanbo's sedan chair.

"Old thief, come out for me!"

"Yes, please make it clear, what kind of hatred do we have with you? Why do you frame us?"

"Yes, our official positions have been lost and our salary has been cut. Will we all go to your house for dinner in the future?"

...

The group of people became more and more angry when they talked. Someone rushed up and tore off Wen Yanbo's curtain.

"If you have the surname Wen, please don't pretend to be garlic! The saint is kind and will not treat the scholars badly. It is you traitors who instigate your Majesty that we will impeach you!"

Wen Yanbo was full of grievances. Why am I so wronged?

Not being forced yet!

You are also a person with a third-party nature. When you are scolded by these people, Wen Yanbo was also anxious, "Why, isn't it right to refresh the administration and eliminate redundant personnel? No one has written a letter from you to ask the court to reorganize? Reorganization is OK, but you cannot change you and you cannot change your salary. What is the reason?"

Lao Wen's few words were really sharp and shocked many officials.

At this moment, a head boot flew from somewhere and slammed Chinese Yanbo's forehead.

"Don't listen to this old guy talking nonsense, beat him, beat him to death!"

History is full of dust
