The peasant girl strikes: Mr., you have to be good

Chapter 373 Prime Minister's Power 1 Point 2

Chapter 373
"You guys go first, I'll go find you after I've dealt with the matter here." Ye Qingyang said that, he couldn't get away.

"Father, I found that the official system in our Nan'an is not perfect. The prime minister is the head of all officials, so he can't be sloppy. If they are like Shen Yichang again, Nan'an will really be doomed."

Ye Qingyang asked for Jinxuan's opinion, "Girl, what good advice do you have?"

"I do have an idea. Let's go to Grandpa's house later and discuss it in detail." Jinxuan intends to follow the official system of the Tang Dynasty. The official system of the Tang Dynasty is relatively complete, so she just needs to make a copy.

"Okay, let's hurry back, I can't wait to hear your thoughts."

Ye Qingyang hoped to solve this matter immediately, so that he could relax a little bit later.

They went to Feng Mansion, Feng Batian asked Yushu to take Song Quan and the others for a stroll, he went to the study with Jinxuan, his wife and Ye Qingyang, and talked about reforming the official system.

"Father, the core official system in Nan'an is to set up a prime minister, and the prime minister will lead all the officials. I don't think it is appropriate to have only one prime minister, which is prone to problems."

Ye Qingyang generally understood what Jinxuan meant, and he speculated, "You mean we can set up the left and right prime ministers to supervise and balance each other, is that true?"

"That's right, reform is not easy. Once the reform fails, it will cause chaos. We can't rush." ​​Jinxuan's bureaucratic system is bound to hinder the interests of certain people.

So she wants to take it slow.

"To tell you the truth, the official system we adopted is really not perfect. I have always wanted to change it, but I didn't find the opportunity. Now that Shen Yichang is gone, we should seize this opportunity to reform the official positions of the court."

Ye Qingyang had long wanted to change the official system, but unfortunately he never had the chance.

"Father, what do you think, let's hear it, so that we can all refer to it together."

Song Zichen wanted to hear Ye Qingyang's opinion.

"Xuanxuan said that the left and right prime ministers, this is a good thing, I have no objection, I also want to change other positions, such as setting up a few positions with higher honors, they have no real power, they just have a kind of honorary title."

"Do you want those positions to be below or above the left and right prime ministers?" Feng Batian asked.

"Let's be on the same level as the left and right prime ministers. For example, those talented people can be assigned honorary positions, just like the three divisions set up by the Qin Dynasty. They are only honorary positions."

"Father, I have read an ancient book. The dynasty recorded here is somewhat similar to our Pingchuan mainland. In fact, our Nan'an official positions are the same except that the capital official positions are different from theirs. We only need to change it."

Jinxuan's so-called ancient books are history books she has read.

The central official positions of the Tang Dynasty: Sanshi and Sangong, they are all vain positions with high positions.

Furthermore, the system of Sangong and Jiuqing can also be adopted, with the emperor as the respect, and there are three princes under him, namely the Taiwei, the military manager, and the prime minister, who assist the emperor in handling the political affairs of the country; Supervision work.

Song Zichen synthesized it and came up with a system: "Father, let me summarize what you just said, how about this, we set up a six-part system with two phases, one with two phases, the two phases refer to the left phase, the right phase respects the left, one is the Refers to the Yushitai, the two prime ministers and the doctor Yushi are both of the first grade, they are in charge of different affairs, and the six departments are still the original six departments."

"Zichen, go on, what are the left and right prime ministers and the imperial censor in charge of?" Ye Qingyang and Feng Batian felt that Song Zichen was more perfect, and they were very interested.

"The imperial censor is still in charge of supervisory orders, and the left minister is responsible for assisting the emperor in handling court affairs, in charge of ministers' memorials, and issuing emperor's edicts, while the task of drafting edicts is handed over to the right minister. , there is no major problem, and then the emperor will make the final judgment, and finally the left minister will issue it to the counties.

"Zichen, you have a good idea. In this way, the power of the prime minister will be divided into two. They will restrict and supervise each other, and it will also improve the efficiency of work."

Ye Qingyang gave a thumbs up and kept praising Song Zichen.

This is very similar to the reform in his mind.

"I have one more thing to add. Listen to me. The right chancellor has a special task, which is to oversee the government affairs of the six ministries. The important decisions of the six ministries must be reviewed by him before being handed over to the left chancellor. The left chancellor is ultimately responsible to the emperor. , In the past, all officials respected the prime minister, and the prime minister took care of everything by himself, and other people didn't know about many things, and the official documents that the right minister had read were submitted to him for review, which played a supervisory role."

Ye Qingyang told Jinxuan and the others his thoughts, and Jinxuan and the others raised their hands and voted for it.

"Father, grandpa, I have another idea. We can stipulate the term of office of the left and right prime ministers. We will give them a one-year probationary period. Within the stipulated period, whoever does not do well and fails to pass the examination of the imperial censor and the emperor will be punished." Return to the original post and let other talented and capable people take over."

"Qingyang, I personally think Xuanxuan's idea is very good. The probationary period can be used not only on the left and right prime ministers, but also on newly promoted officials. Some people think that if they pass the imperial examination, they will be officials for life. The imperial court’s salaries are extravagant, and they don’t pay attention to the common people at all. If the probationary period is implemented, those officials who don’t want to do practical things can be let go, and capable people can take up relevant positions.” Feng Batian is very supportive of Jinxuan’s point View.

"On this matter, I will discuss it with Doctor Yushi, and strive to formulate a comprehensive assessment system to improve the ability of officials to handle affairs."

"Well, we already have a general idea, and the next thing will be much easier." Jinxuan was a little hungry, and she wanted to finish her meal.

"Father, let's go here first, I'm so hungry!"

"It's all my fault. I was too impatient to let my precious girl starve."

Ye Qingyang looked at Jinxuan apologetically, and Jinxuan smiled, "I don't blame Dad, I'm also in a hurry."

The lights are on!

A day passed like this, Jinxuan and the others had a good meal and chatted happily.

The Shen family was not so happy. Those who used to be attached to the Shen family heard that Shen Yichang had died, and all closed their doors to see the Shen family.

Even King Ling was standing by and watching, Concubine Shen was worried that it would be affected, and she also planned to return home, regardless of the life or death of the Shen family.

Everyone in the Shen family had their widows. Taking advantage of everyone's presence, Concubine Shen stood up and said to everyone: "Big brother, second brother, I still have something to do in my house, I'll come back another day to watch for dad."

"Zhimin, your husband is His Majesty's most beloved younger brother, please go and ask him to help the Shen family." Shi Yu stood up, walked to Concubine Shen, and asked Concubine Shen to do things for the family as the aunt, she approached Concubine Shen threatened, "Think about your mother and learn first."

The Xianxue mentioned by Mrs. Yu is the elder brother of Concubine Shen, and their mother, Mrs. Cui, is the sixth wife of Shen Yichang, who has been living under the oppression of Mrs. Yu.

At the beginning, they were the ones who married Concubine Shen to King Fan. To them, Concubine Shen was just a pawn.
