The dormitory hall is a large single hall, and there are dragon chairs and dragon tables in the front hall, which can accommodate more than ten people.

To the back of the front hall, there is a seven-layered screen. The first three layers are carved wooden screens by Jinnan, and the last four layers are made of brocade by Huahang, separating the east and west sides.

There is a round tea table on the east side with four small chairs placed around it. Last night I met the imperial doctor and I talked with Xiao Hongdou this morning, they were all next to this tea table.

Behind the tea table is the dragon bed.

On the west side, there is a small hall that Han Dongwen rarely visited in the past. Inside is a black wooden square table, which holds the four treasures of the study, and two vertical cabinets and bookshelves.

The standing cabinet on the left hand side contained classics, historical books, poetry and music lyrics. Han Dongwen had already glanced at it a few times and initially felt that it was not of great value.

The standing cabinet on the right is the direction he cares most about. As a rule, the daily memorials and regulations are displayed here, and they are changed on a monthly basis for the king of a country to understand and make decisions.

Han Dongwen was standing in front of the cabinet at the moment, frowning.

This standing cabinet is empty and spotless.

Where is my memorial?

There are no news websites here, let alone surfing the Internet. If you want to understand the outside world, what else can you do besides reading some memorials?

"Someone is coming!"

He put his head towards the door of the dormitory and shouted.

Soon there were footsteps coming in a hurry.

"Your Highness."

"You... put on your clothes."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please calm down, my servant..."

"I...forget it, put on your clothes and call Xiao Hongdou over."

Han Dongwen covered his head, thinking that it was time to officially announce the new rules. It was always like this, after all, it was too much to bear.

Now that he barely has a familiar maid, I'm afraid he can only trouble her more.

——————

When Lord Wen heard that Xiao Hongdou was asked to go again, all the women in the Yingchun Palace could only cast sympathetic glances.

I sympathize and hope that I am not the next one.

When Xiao Hongdou stepped into the bedroom, she was even more anxious. She had indeed followed Han Dongwen's instructions and did not take off her clothes. The maid who was originally guarding the door of the palace looked at her and her eyes widened.

"Sister, clothes!"

She motioned to Xiao Hongdou.

"Ah, Your Highness... Your Highness said this morning that from now on you don't have to take off your clothes when entering or leaving the dormitory."

Xiao Hongdou hugged her arms and signaled to the maid that she was fine.

"No need to take off your clothes?"

The maid's eyes widened a bit, but then quickly dimmed.

"Congratulations, sister, I'm afraid your Highness will fall in love with you."

Xiao Hongdou shook her head: "No, no, I heard from His Highness that the rules of the dormitory will be changed in the future, and none of us need to take off our clothes."

"ah……"

The maid opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing. She pointed to the bedroom: "Sister, come in quickly. Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

Even though she was wearing clothes, Xiao Hongdou still saluted nervously.

Nervousness is also relative.

She is probably the least nervous maid who can stand in front of Han Dongwen now.

"Ah, little red bean."

Han Dongwen stopped pacing back and forth and waved her over.

"Where's the memorial on the cabinet?"

Xiao Hongdou looked at what Han Dongwen was pointing at, lowered his head and replied: "Your Highness, according to your instructions, it has been taken care of."

Han Dongwen sighed: "Why did I give the order?"

"There is no need to trouble His Highness with daily memorials. There is no need to send them to the dormitory if the three divisions have already made a decision."

As a former player, Han Dongwen knows about Sansi.

The National Law Department can be understood as the public security agency and legislative organization. Its power and responsibility is to maintain social security and formulate and promulgate relevant rules.

The National Military Affairs Department can be understood as the highest-level decision-making body on military affairs. Its powers and responsibilities are to maintain national security, guard the territory and all military activities.

The National Finance Department oversees commerce, trade, and agriculture. Everything from people's livelihood taxation to small business road development is supervised by the National Finance Department.

In addition, just as there are banking regulatory commissions and public security bureaus in every place, there are armed police forces in every military region, and agencies of the three divisions are also spread throughout Simeng.

It's a bit simple, but at least it's thoughtful.

Han Dongwen nodded. It seemed that many backgrounds of the game could still be used as a reference.

"That is to say, the matters reported every day are classified according to department. Whether it is illegal and criminal, national security, or people's livelihood and taxation, it is up to them to decide by themselves..."

Han Dongwen nodded gently, while Xiao Hongdou stood aside, not daring to say anything more.

She didn't understand this at all. She had only learned some poetry from her father who was teaching since she was a child, so naturally she couldn't get into it.

"How to do it?"

Han Dongwen asked himself.

It is impossible for him to just wave his hand and say, "I want to go to the court to manage the government." From then on, the three departments will no longer make decisions and will only carry out my edicts.

I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for a day, and His Highness will rebel. This is it.

But this is somewhat helpful in finding out who is in power. Since the power of judgment is in the hands of the Third Division, then those who control the Third Division naturally control Simeng.

However, can the military, law, and economy alone control all citizens?

Han Dongwen frowned and thought hard.

Yes and no.

What if I were an ordinary person and went downstairs to drink a bowl of soup?

Without a national army, I am afraid that the country will not be able to survive, and it will be a waste of soup.

There are no national laws, so I would be robbed while I was drinking, or some gangsters would stab me on the street.

Without a national economy, where would the soup come from? Let’s just lie down and starve to death together.

But what about after drinking the soup?

"Xiao Hongdou, tell me about your family."

Han Dongwen pointed to the chair seriously: "Sit down and talk."

After repeatedly refusing, Xiao Hongdou was still pinned down on the chair by Han Dongwen in fear.

"I have only one daughter in my family..."

She found that Han Dongwen listened very carefully.

"My father is a teacher in Bianzhou. My mother passed away when the slave was young. My father did not remarry and only ran a school until the slave was conscripted into the palace..."

Xiaohongdou's voice gradually became quieter.

"……troubled you."

Han Dongwen's voice was a little astringent and he coughed lightly: "You said your father teaches, right?"

Little Hongdou nodded.

This is the first thing that comes to Han Dongwen's mind.

After drinking the soup, those who teach teach and those who move bricks move bricks.

And those who are policemen, soldiers, and those who are in the three departments, naturally have to work.

How to decide?

Appointments and dismissals, demotions and promotions, and rejections.

This is the most important thing besides the Third Division - how to absorb people into the Third Division and become part of the state machine?

Who will make the decision when positions change among the three departments?

"Teaching... for what?" Han Dongwen asked.

"Teaching, teaching is just for making a living..."

Little Hongdou was a little timid and a little confused.

Why did the king of a country ask her in such detail about the family background of a maid?

Could it be that as the people in Yingchun Palace said, His Highness fell in love with me?

"No no no."

Han Dongwen shook his head: "I mean, who are you teaching? Why should students learn?"

"Going back to your highness, there are those who need to read and read in the most common way, and there are also those who need to read for scientific examinations. My father has professors."

Ah, the imperial examination, or the civil service examination or something like that.

Han Dongwen nodded.

He was about to ask again when he suddenly heard a report coming from outside the dormitory:

"Your Highness, your medicine has arrived."

medicine?

Also, with Lord Wen's health, he must have drank a lot of medicine.

Han Dongwen nudged his chin towards Xiao Hongdou, who immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the door of the dormitory.

Sitting next to Han Dongwen, she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. This time she did what a maid should do, and she managed to calm down a little.

"This is?"

Xiao Hongdou took the tray from the maid outside the palace and asked with some confusion.
Chapter completed!
