920: Yuanhuang Five Years (Part 2) [Please vote for me]
Chapter 920
"I think this set will work, three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five prisons... The only trouble is that we don't seem to have that many people." Shen Tang muttered while flipping through the information.
In order to ensure the stability of the power position, high-ranking officials must be given to their own people. However, her team has always been streamlined and simply cannot be filled. Even though a batch of talented people were recruited a few years ago, these people are still in the "internship period" and their ability and temperament will take time. Investigation and verification. Her current approach is to streamline the staffing of various ministries and cut off all redundant officials with empty posts, leaving only actual posts.
If there are overlapping functional conflicts, let them be put aside for the time being.
"Is it enough for the Zhongshu Province to provide twenty establishments?"
Qishan's face darkened: "How is it possible?"
No matter how streamlined the Zhongshu Province is, it will only have 40 or 50 people, right?
Only twenty posts are given. Does the lord expect all twenty people to be half-hearted? With one salary, they can do the work of three people. The Ministry of Secretariat should draft edicts, make decisions, and be responsible for all parts of Kang State. All the chapters are played.
Has she ever thought about what the outcome would be?
Shen Tang was surprised: "Isn't it enough?"
So he pinched his fingers and calculated: "Zhongshu Ling, Zhongshu Shilang, Zhongshu Sheren, the right Sanqi Changshi, the right admonition to the officials, the right mending the palace, the right collecting materials, the living room, the general room... There are also officials such as the Lingshi and the Pavilion Chief..."
According to this volume of information, there is one Zhongshu Ling, two Zhongshu ministers, six Zhongshu Sheren... sixteen general ministers... Lingshi, pavilion chief and other subordinates, ranging from dozens of people. Regardless. No matter how you calculate it, twenty establishments are really far from enough.
She frowned tightly, and after a long while, she exhaled a breath and reluctantly said: "Thirty-five, no more!"
A larger establishment means more salaries to be distributed.
Although the treasury seems to be quite sufficient, it is for her original streamlined team. If a complete official system is established and all departments are crowded, Shen Tang is afraid that she will not be able to pay salaries next year. Zhongshu Province gave thirty-five people, What a huge concession!
Looking at the reluctant lord, everyone suddenly had a strange idea in their minds - no dogs would go to Zhongshu Province.
Shen Tang continued to stroke down.
"The Ministry of Menxia... also provides thirty-five establishments?"
Qishan's face darkened again, and he faced his lord head-on under the watchful eyes of his colleagues, saying: "No, it's impossible!"
If the Lord adopts this set of official systems, including Menxiasheng, Zhongshusheng and Shangshusheng, Qi Shan will definitely be assigned to one of them as an officer. There are only so many positions, whoever gets the job will be unlucky. No matter what the result is, working hard will always be the best. Nothing wrong.
Invisibly, because of the act of praying for good deeds, everyone's favorability value quietly increased by one or two points - the Ministry of Menxia was responsible for reviewing and promulgating, rejecting and deliberation matters, so most departments only gave thirty-five establishments, and that day was more Living in Shu Province is still hard.
Shen Tang muttered: "Why isn't it enough?"
The chief of the Menxia Province is called the Shizhong. In some countries, the family has a big business and has many posts. For the Huangmen Shilang alone, there are six people in the Shizhong. Some countries have streamlined the number of people, with two people each. The number of generals, Lingshi, living ministers, Fu Baolang, etc. is uncertain. Shen Tang took a rough look and found that the number of posts in the subordinate provinces in the intelligence was between 150 and 400.
In a moment, Shen Tang's expression surpassed Qi Shan's.
She gritted her teeth: "One hundred and sixty!"
Give ten more positions above the minimum standard!
Qishan said: "Two hundred!"
Shen Tang: “One hundred and sixty-five!”
"Two hundred and ten!"
"One hundred and seventy, no more!" Shen Tang slapped the table and made a final decision, not giving Qishan a chance to continue to retaliate, but he said sincerely, "Yuanliang, we are still a small family and a small business. One hundred and seventy positions are enough."
It is still unknown when it will be filled.
Seeing that Qi Shan still wanted to speak, Shen Tang hurriedly raised his voice: "Stop—Shang Shu Sheng, I will definitely give you more positions!"
The Shangshu Province commanded six ministries and twenty-four divisions.
The six bureaus are similar to the six bureaus that Shen Tang used before: Shi, Hu, Cang, Ke, Bing, and Fa. Lin Feng's hucao is in charge of households, worshiping in ancestral halls, and teaching farmers and mulberry trees, which corresponds to the household bureaus in the six bureaus. Among the six bureaus, Each department has four divisions, making a total of twenty-four divisions.
For example, the Ministry of Personnel has four departments: the Ministry of Personnel, the Division of Feng, the Division of Honors, and the Division of Examination, which are mainly responsible for the selection, awarding, and examination of officials.
Shen Tang did not casually confirm the position this time.
Instead, mentally calculate the necessary list.
The chief officials on the official list of Shangshu Province should be one Shangshu Ling, and one left and right servant. However, she saw that some countries directly omit the Shangshu Ling, and the six ministries are left to the left and right servants. Each of the six ministries has one Shangshu, one or two ministers, and two ministers. Each of the Fourteenth Division has one doctor, and two deputy assistants... Not counting the staff of the Twenty-fourth Division, there are ninety-three people here...
If we include the larger staff...
Shen Tang frowned.
No matter how these departments are cut, it is impossible to cut them to double digits.
She could only sigh and give her the position first.
Go back and slowly select talents to fill in.
"Why don't I cut down all three provinces... This will free up a lot of posts..." The six departments and twenty-four divisions were directly managed by Shen Tang herself. She thought about the scene in her heart and shook her head secretly. Although it would save a lot of trouble for the king to take over directly, and it would also be conducive to the concentration of power and avoid power struggles, but there is a major prerequisite, the king must be energetic...
Once you do this, you can't be lazy even if you want to. If in the future, other departments are set up to replace the three provinces just to be lazy, won't the problem come back again? There are too many posts given out, and the national treasury does not have so much money to pay salaries. Shen Tang gives up this idea .
the most important is--
She planned to hand over the three provinces to Chu Yao and the others.
They are absolutely loyal to her. Not only are they not burdened by family background, they don't even have any relatives. They will help her wholeheartedly and have no selfish intention of hurting her. Naturally, Shen Tang has no need to worry about the struggle between imperial power and prime minister power.
Gu Chi listened to Shen Tang's thoughts.
My scalp felt numb for the first time.
Of course, it's not because of Shen Tang's thoughts - these are the most basic skills of a country leader. If you don't even have this thought and keep trusting anyone, the people below will start to worry about their lord's mind - What made Gu Chi's scalp numb was that with the Lord's trust and respect for his subordinates, Qi Shan and Chu Yao would never be able to escape the Three Provinces Lord.
There is only one left——
Don't let it fall on you.
Especially Part Six.
Judging from the six positions given by the lord, Shangshu Province was definitely an overtime hell in the early days! Gu Chi weighed his own body, and he was sure that he could not withstand the torment.
Just when Gu Chi's eyes were spinning wildly, thinking about who was most likely to become this unlucky guy, his lord had already begun to cut down the posts of the fifth prisoner of the Nine Temples: "Taichang Temple, which is in charge of sacrifices, medicine and music? Cut it. Already..."
Among them, the most severely damaged ones were Guanglu Temple, Zongzheng Temple and Taipu Temple. There was no other reason. The reason given by Shen Tang was very reasonable: "...Guanglu Temple is in charge of court gatherings, sacrifices and royal meals. It's enough to manage the court, is there anything else necessary? I am the only one in the royal family at the moment! I have no elders to support, no children to raise, and no people of the same clan or generation in between... When one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. Feed me. How many departments does one person need? So, cut it off..."
The reasons for Zongzhengji are the same as above.
This department manages the daily affairs of the royal family.
Taipu Temple is even more useless.
Manage the royal carriage, horses and travel.
Shen Tang always travels on two legs. If she wants to be lazy, she will call a motorcycle instead. Those fancy ceremonial equipment are simply a waste of her money! I wonder if she is still in debt? She is too lazy to spend money to support such a person. What about the department?
As for Taifu Temple, Sinong Temple, Dali Temple, etc., Shen Tang's knife was not too harsh and only cut off two-thirds. Some of the responsibilities of these departments overlapped with those of the Six Ministries and Twenty-four Departments. Normally, they should be allowed to They keep each other in check, but Shen Tang is now short of people and money, and can't afford to support idle people and can't play checks and balances.
In comparison, the posts of the fifth supervisor are well preserved.
Not only is it well preserved, she also increased the budget for the Imperial College, the Shaofu Prison, the Arms Supervisor and the Water Supervisor, and the number of posts has not been changed much. The only unlucky guy is the General Supervisor: "Should the General Supervisor also be cut by 60%? ?A palace or something, as long as you can live in it."
Shen Tang himself is not a person who likes extravagance.
For her, she only sleeps on a bed and lives in a house, and does not need an overly luxurious palace. She is not one of those kings who likes to collect beautiful women to fill the inner court. She doesn't have the habit of collecting and possessing, so she doesn't need it. A palace that houses people.
Shen Tang's proposal was opposed.
People are not just messing around with palace buildings. If there is an order from the Ministry of Works for a major project, the general supervisor will also actively participate in the construction. When Shen Tang heard this, he immediately thought of these Mo scholars in Beijiu and nodded: "That's okay. It's because I was careless. Let Zhoukou be the general supervisor and master craftsman, and then select two outstanding craftsmen and moral masters from other Mohists to serve as young master craftsmen."
With Bei Jiu's ability, it is completely enough.
Chu Yao was writing down the contents of the discussion.
Beijiu was the first official explicitly appointed by the lord.
He asked: "How many grades are the great craftsmen?"
Although the official systems used by all countries are very similar, some names and ranks are different. Typical examples are Shizhong and Huangmen Shilang. In some countries, they not only have high status but also real power, but in some countries they are low-level officials with empty duties. .
Naturally, official titles are also different.
Shen Tang thought for a while: "From the third level? Or from the third level?"
Chu Yao thought about it for a while: "Let's start with the third grade."
My lord's current team is too streamlined. If the official rank is set too high, it will not be conducive to stable governance in the future.
If we follow the popular template in front of us, the chiefs of the nine temples except Taichang Temple are of the third rank, and the rest are of the third rank. Among the five prisons, except for Du Shuijian, who is the fifth rank, all the others are of the third rank. Even the six ministers are only upright. Third grade...
Shen Tang had no objection to Chu Yao's proposal.
"Okay, from the third grade."
She continued to scroll down.
Opening up again to cut positions.
"Wu Hui, in my opinion, the three provinces in the palace should be omitted, right? It's difficult for all parties, and I can't afford to support these people." The so-called three provinces in the palace are the secretary province, the palace ministry and the chamberlain ministry. "The secretary province will be kept. The library cannot be cut...the inner palace department, if you can save it, save it. It is enough to have more than a dozen people to take care of daily life. I think the chamberlain department can be completely crossed out, um, cut it..."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is generally led by eunuchs.
Specialized in managing the trivial matters within the royal court.
Again, Shen Tang can feed herself and the whole family is not hungry. In her opinion, there is really no need to spend money to support hundreds of female workers and eunuchs. Her current living situation is very good, and there is no need for such extravagance and waste. , laboring people and damaging money.
Everyone sighed when they heard this.
What else do they have to say?
When they cut down the number of staff in various departments before, they thought they would be so busy that they would be exhausted in the future, but they did not want the lord to be more cruel to her and cut off all the relevant departments that served her and the royal family. Depending on the lord's wishes, she preferred to cut down these departments. Erase directly.
but--
This won't work!
Chu Yao and others firmly opposed it!
The three provinces in the palace still have to stay, or at least be reduced in size. At this time, Qin Li came out to speak, and gently advised: "Even if the lord does not consider himself, he must also consider the future princes, husbands and princes. Furthermore, if the royal family does not The proper etiquette will make people in the world laugh at you. They will not think that the lord is simple and frugal, but will only think that the lord has no dignity as the leader of the country."
Shen Tang said: "Does dignity depend on these external objects?"
Qin Li patiently persuaded her.
"A person depends on his clothes, and a horse depends on its saddle. First respect the clothes and then the person, first respect the skin and then the soul. If the ruler of the country does not display the honor guard, over time some people will be overbearing and disrespectful and lose their sense of proportion."
Shen Tang shook his head: "No one has the courage."
Tired of living and want to try her martial arts?
Qin Li smiled and said: "I believe that with the ability of the Lord, no one dares to despise him. However, it is not good for the country if the Lord is too frugal and simple. If the superiors do good things, the subordinates must follow them; if the superiors do evil things, the subordinates must follow them." If the king is like this, the people below will naturally follow suit. If everyone wears linen clothes and faces the sky, who will sell those silk brocades and rouge powder to?"
Appropriate simplicity is conducive to eliminating waste, but excessive simplicity is self-torture and is not conducive to boosting the domestic economy.
Shen Tang scratched his head: "Oh, that's true."
People who enter the inner court are all from innocent backgrounds. If all positions are cut, some people will lose their livelihood jobs. To a certain extent, allowing these people to serve in the inner court will also increase employment opportunities.
Alas, these departments should be cut by 80%.
She is the only one in the royal family, so there really is no need to waste too much.
She doesn't know if she will be singled out. If she is singled out in the future, it will be too late for the imperial court to add more people and increase the number of employees.
But it's not needed now.
After determining the number of posts in the above departments, Shen Tang glanced at a few more lines on the slip in his hand and raised his finger to point at Gu Chi.
"Watch the tide."
Gu Chi's scalp felt numb after being named.
He stood up and held his hands in his hands: "Chi is here."
Shen Tang pointed out the official position to him and spoke with absolute professionalism: "Yu Shi Tai, Yu Shi Dafu, the third grade, I leave it to you."
Just expose the impeachment and she will back it up!
In an instant, Gu Chi felt countless pairs of hot eyes staring at him from behind, and he was filled with envy and jealousy! Because he was the second official confirmed clearly after Bei Jiu, and because there was generally no censor doctor in the censorship station, only the censor Zhongcheng. Yes, sir.
Shen Tang not only set it up, but also gave it to him.
The key is Gu Chi's way of being a scribe...
Gu Chi's eyes instantly turned black. He felt that after taking office, he would replace Qi Shan and become the courtier with the highest hatred value - Yushitai did not need any evidence to expose him!
|ω`)
It would be a pity for Gu Chi not to join the imperial censorship and become the censor doctor.
PS: There is harmony in the article, and the third officer is the chief officer. He became the third high-ranking official in harmony... I changed it and used the chief officer...
