In this way, the minister still has room for promotion, and will not fall from his peak due to his high official rank.

After much thought, this method is the safest.

It is not enough to have just one minister, the entire organization's personnel department is divided into three levels.

They are the minister and the deputy minister respectively.

The minister and deputy minister have direct say over the appointment, removal and assessment of officials and have the power of veto.

Of course, all this must be done with the king's permission and order.

The second level is the staff of the entire department. Although they do not have absolute power like the ministerial level, they do not have a veto power.

But they have voting rights and can make the decision through a unanimous resolution of the Personnel Department when deciding whether a person should be appointed or dismissed.

He plans to arrange 4 people at this level.

The last level is basically the people who are responsible for the lowest-level errands in the entire department, but these people are indispensable to the entire department. They are the people responsible for supervisory work.

After all, it is inevitable that some officials may offer or accept bribes.

Although such a situation has not been discovered yet, we must take precautions. If foreign envoys come to establish diplomatic relations in the future, they may try to infiltrate, or recruit new people in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish such a supervisory mechanism, which can supervise the ministers at the top and the officials of the entire system at the bottom.

In this way, problems can be prevented in advance, so that loopholes in the system are not discovered until something happens.

However, supervisors are likely to offend people, so the number of them should not be too large. He plans to arrange three people. In this way, the number of people in the entire department will be between 3 and 9.

Next, it is necessary to establish other departments specifically responsible for specific matters, such as the Ministry of War, which is responsible for managing the military's orders, as well as the recruitment, selection, assessment, rewards and punishments of officers and soldiers in the future.

From now on, ordinary soldiers will definitely be indispensable for maintaining daily public order, and these soldiers will be under the management of the Ministry of War.

Furthermore, considering that there are only two general-level figures at present, he plans to give the Minister of War a five-star level.

It was raised by two or three levels at once, which not only calmed the morale of the soldiers, but also increased their respect for the Ministry of War.

"In this case, I have to improve other aspects of the military department's business. We can't just let them be responsible for daily patrols and maintaining public order!"

For the Great Zhou Dynasty, soldiers are the country's last trump card and bottom line, and they are also the first team to charge forward in times of crisis.

Therefore, many of the country's important equipment must be managed by them, so that they can feel at ease and ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Little Li, what kind of department do you think would be appropriate to set up in the Ministry of War, besides the one in charge of military affairs?" Just as he was thinking, he suddenly discovered that there was a little eunuch next to him.

So he turned to the young eunuch in a discussion attitude, wanting to hear his opinion on the matter.

"King, are you asking this of your servant?"

When selecting palace maids and eunuchs, personal ability was not taken into consideration.

Therefore, the young eunuchs and palace maids thought that the king's orders were their top priority.

They could only improvise on other matters, and this was the first time the king asked for their opinions on state affairs.

The young eunuch seemed very uncomfortable, but then he became very respectful, humbly raising his head and then lowering it again.

"Yes, I am asking you. There is no one else around here. If I don't ask you, am I just talking to myself?"...

It’s really funny to think about it. In such a huge palace, there are so few people with whom one can have heart-to-heart talks or discuss serious matters.

Apart from the Foreign Education Department, I don’t think I have set up any other civil service departments.

It seems that this civil service is inevitable.

So I looked at the young eunuch standing by, thinking that he could give me some advice.

But people are always divided into different classes, and a little eunuch is just a little eunuch after all.

How could he understand these? His mission is to serve me, the king. His little head cannot think of anything else.

"My lord, I am so sorry, I know nothing about these matters. You should find a scholar to discuss this with you."

"How can we, as little people, know how to govern a country? Even if I tell you, it will be useless!"

The young eunuch is quite self-aware.

I thought about it and decided that I really needed to find a capable civil or military official who could share my mental burden.

So, I selected a fourth-rank official from the character column in the system store.

This fourth-rank official is equivalent to the top scholar in the past and is very knowledgeable.

As for his personality, he is just like Wei Zheng, outspoken.

Moreover, he is particularly eloquent and good at understanding people's hearts.

However, you can't just speak directly, you also have to be flexible and be able to think from other people's perspectives.

Thinking about it, I added all these personality skills to him.

Five minutes later, the system confirmed the completion.

I put him in the Elite Hall.

Seeing that it was almost time, I ran over excitedly.

The young eunuch looked confused and wondered what had happened to the king.
Weren't you thinking about state affairs just now? Why are you suddenly going somewhere else?

Am I getting old and can't keep up with the king's pace?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he knew that he had to stay by the king's side at all times to protect his safety.

When he walked to the palace, he found that there was suddenly one more person inside.

His memories flooded back and he remembered that this person was the famous Jin Jianguang!

A famous civil servant of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he often helped the king solve various problems.

So he walked up to the king respectfully and bowed slightly.

"Jin Jianguang, not bad, not bad!" I said this and then pressed the start button on my phone.

Jin Jianguang's eyes were bright and he looked at me intently.

Then he knelt down respectfully and saluted: "Your Majesty, I, Jin Jianguang, greet you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness!"

"Okay, okay, my dear, please get up and follow me. I'm facing some problems right now and I want to discuss them with you!"

After saying that, I turned around and walked out, and Jin Jianguang followed me out happily.

"I wonder what is worrying you, Your Majesty? Please tell me clearly, so that I can share your worries!"

After saying that, he stood opposite me and looked at me with his sharp eyes as I was concentrating on writing something.

"Look, now besides managing military affairs, what other departments can the Ministry of War set up for them?" "The premise is that these departments must be important to the country. I don't want ordinary people to interfere. I just want to give them a sense of security!"

"Think about it, if you have any good suggestions, why not tell me!"

After hearing what I said, Jin Jianguang did not answer immediately.

He was silent for a while, as if he suddenly thought of something, and looked at me.

When their eyes met, they seemed to have a tacit understanding in an instant.

“Is it transportation and safety?”

We said in unison.

If you don’t know, you would think we have been together for decades and have a perfect understanding of each other.

"Yes, why didn't I think of this! The Ministry of War is mainly responsible for managing military affairs, but in the final analysis, it still has to keep the people safe!"

"So they should also have a Ministry of Transportation and a Ministry of Security under them, so that people can be guaranteed access, don't you think?"

I spoke excitedly and started writing on the paper without waiting for Jin Jianguang's response.

"That's true, but have you ever thought about it, my king? Whether in our country or other countries, third-party transportation logistics are very popular, such as escort agencies!"

"This is a good idea! With such a complete security system, adding the escort business is really great!"

"I just wonder if you have any other suggestions?" I said this while continuing to draw my blueprint with my hands.

"So, the current Ministry of War is not only responsible for national security, that is, the internal affairs of the military, but also in charge of transportation. So, it is feasible for them to directly open an escort agency, is that what you mean?" ...

At this time, it was Jin Jianguang's turn to ask the king questions.

"Yes, there are two main departments, and then there are other small departments. The two major departments are the Military Department and the Transportation Department!"

"The military is responsible for national defense affairs, including the training, rewards and punishments, assessments, selections, and other issues related to personnel deployment. What about the Ministry of Transportation? Is it also under the military?"

"If that's the case, shouldn't the person in charge of the Ministry of Transportation be a military man?"

Yang Xia hadn't thought about it so carefully before.

However, Jin Jianguang's words reminded him.

"Why not? The Ministry of Transportation, to put it bluntly, whether it is domestic or foreign transportation, as well as transportation safety, does need someone with a certain level of military prowess to be in charge."

“Whether it’s foreign tourists entering our country or our citizens visiting other countries, the Ministry of Transport plays a vital role, doesn’t it?”

After hearing what Yang Xia said, Jin Jianguang was also convinced.

"Your Majesty is right. I was too narrow-minded just now. I only saw the surface meaning and did not conduct a deep analysis."

"Not bad, there is still room for improvement. If you have any ideas, feel free to bring them up."

Yang Xia was very satisfied with his reaction.

He would neither put forward ideas that were too advanced and difficult for others to accept, nor would he put forward fragmentary and trivial ideas that made it difficult for others to follow along.

It seems that the civil servant he chose is quite good.

This is the name. I accidentally pressed the wrong one when I was typing it in the input method just now. It is indeed a bit difficult to pronounce.

"In that case, do we still need to set up other departments? When ancient kings governed the country, they did not rely solely on these two departments to manage national affairs."

At this time, Jin Jianguang began to use his professional skills again.

"Indeed. As for the third department, I want to set up the Ministry of Rites, which will be responsible for the national examination affairs, including the examinations of ordinary people and the education of children, as well as a series of affairs such as rituals, music, sacrifices, banquets, and food."

"This is a good idea. The quality of the people has reached a relatively high level now, so the previous family education method is no longer advisable and is not environmentally friendly."

After hearing this, Yang Xia was secretly delighted.

The idea he had previously given Jin Jianguang was that this dynasty had existed for thousands of years, and various schools also existed, but they were all small private schools, which were not conducive to universal education or popular education.

"This is indeed a good idea. Your suggestions are all within my consideration."

"You also came from an exam background. Do you have any different views on the education industry? For example, do you have any different views on the fact that they are in charge of education?"

"I will just tell you what I think directly." Jin Jianguang was still a little hesitant because he had a bold idea and didn't know whether the king could accept it.

"But it doesn't matter."

"I think that when children of school age reach a certain age, they can be allowed to go to school for free so that they can all receive a more popular education."

"Of course, in order to give them a better learning environment, I suggest not taking the paper-based exam approach. What I mean is, let them choose what type of exam education they want to receive."

This idea did surprise Yang Xia a little.

"You can elaborate on this idea in detail." Faced with Yang Xia's surprise, Jin Jianguang quickly returned to normal and revealed his inner thoughts.

"What I mean is, when children enter school, let them choose the direction they want to study in the future. It's probably the same type..."

"Then when they reach a certain age, they can take a second test. At that time, a paper-based test can be used to test whether what they originally chose is really suitable for them and whether it is in line with their own development."

"You mean, before a certain time or age, let them choose the field of study they want to study?"

"You ask a child at such a young age to choose the type of subject they want to study. Isn't that a bit beyond their ability?"

It’s not that Yang Xia doesn’t trust his people, it’s just that the starting point he set for the people did not have such a high level of education.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about that. There are six years from childhood to adulthood, which is enough time for them to see clearly whether their current choice is correct or whether they are still interested."

"You mean, we can test them once when they are 18 years old, and then give them a second chance to choose?"

Facing Yang Xia's question...

"That's true. I think if it is implemented in this way, it will not only give children more opportunities to choose, but also allow them to regret when they find that it is not suitable." ...

"However, in this case, they will not have a solid basic education in the early stage. In this case, even if they change their major in the future, it may not be a good thing for them..."

Having said this, Yang Xia stopped talking at the right time.

He did this actually to give Jin Jianguang a chance to continue speaking along his own lines.

"Your Majesty has indeed thought it through. If it is in your opinion, I think we can set up a two-year basic education class before children reach childhood, so that everyone can start from the same starting line."

"After that, let them study the type of major they are more interested in at the time. When they are old enough to tie their hair, they can make a second choice."

After hearing Jin Jianguang's words, Yang Xia also fell into deep thought.

If this can be implemented, it is indeed a good solution. (End of this chapter)
