Zhang Yue was thinking carefully in his study. Apart from attacking Liangzhou, the most important thing he was doing right now was restructuring.
Since the third year of Yuanfeng, the government has been interested in restoring the Tang system, and Zhang Yue has been promoting it since he became prime minister. For Zhang Yue, this matter was more difficult than conquering Liangzhou and destroying the party.
Zhang Yue set up a detailed office of official structure, responsible for the specific matters of Yuanfeng's restructuring.
Nowadays, the official detailed establishment has become a place where young talents from all over the world flock to, and it can be said that it has attracted talents for a while.
Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi both reformed the official system, but it was not thorough. However, this time the reform avoided the name of reform and was still under the banner of ancient reform.
First, just like the Liudian of the Tang Dynasty, some official positions were restored, and at the same time, those without official positions were abolished to correct the situation that was inconsistent with the name and reality.
Make changes in the official system.
For example, in the previous Song Dynasty, the official was the official, and the duties and dispatches went hand in hand. Now, the three are combined into one.
But no matter how it is reformed.
This is to avoid the situation in the Song Dynasty where houses were stacked on top of each other, with overlapping functions and powers, and with multiple political bureaucracies. To avoid the situation of ‘one official and several people occupying it, and one thing and one thing being governed by several people’.
In short, it is to reduce the number of jobs without reducing the number of people as much as possible.
To put it bluntly, it is to reduce headcount and avoid organizational bloat.
Zhang Yue closed his eyes and thought.
…
At this moment, Guo Xuan was summoned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his friends all said to him with envy: "We scholars believe that 'passing the imperial examination is the first grade, and being extremely clumsy is the blue line.' Now you don't have to pass the imperial examination, you are already the first grade."
"Don't forget to take care of me in the future."
Amid the envious eyes of his classmates, Guo Xuan arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion with a confused and anxious look on his face.
Guo Xuan saw a man in his fifties coming out and hurriedly said: "Student, please pay homage to your husband!"
The other party laughed loudly and said: "I am not your husband-in-law, I am your husband-in-law's brother. Your father and I have known each other for many years... Don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own home."
After speaking, the other party enthusiastically held Guo Xuan's hand and helped him sit down.
Guo Xuan looked confused. The other party said in surprise: "Has your father never mentioned me?"
Guo Xuan shook his head and said: "Dad, he never even said to me that he and the Prime Minister were classmates."
When the other party heard this, he was disappointed and said: "Why is it like this? Senior Brother Guo shouldn't be like this."
Guo Xuan said quickly: "I misunderstood. My father taught me since I was a child that you should not have undue thoughts and hope for undue blessings. What you get by your own ability is your own."
The other party slapped his thigh and said, "Your father is still so pedantic. The Prime Minister and your father are not ordinary friends."
"To be honest, there are indeed too many people who have asked the Prime Minister for help in recent years. But Senior Brother Guo lives in Luoyang, but he has never mentioned a word. It's just that he doesn't plan for himself, even his children
Don’t tell me, there is a shortcut here, don’t look for it.”
Guo Xuandao: "Dad always said that people take many detours, and that is the straightest path."
The other party shook his head and said: "Don't say it to me. My father means what I say. My surname is Zhang. Mr. Zhang San is my third brother. Just call me uncle."
"My Zhang family and your Guo family are the same family. You don't allow me to see each other."
"It's uncle."
Zhang Shi smiled and said, "That's it. I'll take you to see Brother Zheng. He has a good relationship with your father."
Guo Xuan asked: "Dare I ask my uncle, is Brother Zheng the famous Mr. Zhang Jinglue?"
Zhang Shi smiled and said, "Yes, it's Quanzi. When you see him, just call him brother. He is a few years older than you. You won't suffer any disadvantage if you call him brother."
Guo Xuan was deeply moved by Zhang Shi's enthusiasm. He thought to himself that the Prime Minister's Mansion was a fairyland, so high and aloof.
But in front of him, it was so humane and full of fireworks.
When Zhang Shi was about to lure Guo Xuan to see Zhang Zhi, Peng Jingyi said to Zhang Shi with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I want to ruin your elegance. The prime minister happens to be free at this time and wants to meet Zixuan."
Zhang Shi then said: "You stay here tonight and get close to your brother Zheng."
Peng Jingyi led Guo Xuan to see Zhang Yue.
Peng Jingyi looked at Guo Xuan's anxious state and smiled: "Just answer whatever the prime minister asks you later. Don't be too restrained."
"You can't walk with your head buried all the time in your life. You must also know how to raise your head and look at the road. Look at you, you are as shy as a big girl."
Guo Xuan laughed to himself upon hearing this.
…
After a while, Guo Xuan was taken to a flower hall shaded by flowers and trees, and the two words "Day Brocade" were written on the plaque.
Guo Xuanzhi, the allusion of the word "Zhijin", means returning home with brocade clothes. Han Qi built a "Zijin Hall" in his hometown of Xiangzhou.
But this place is not Zhang Xianggong's hometown, so why is the inscription "Zi Jin" written on this plaque? Anyone else would definitely not understand, but Guo Xuan knew that his father Guo Lin once worked as a substitute in the "Zi Jin Tang" of the Zhang clan in his hometown in Jianzhou.
commission letter.
Zhang Xianggong has a text called "Ci San Zhuan's Origin", which also happens to record the story of his young life as a poor servant.
After Zhang Xianggong became a noble man, he still wrote the word "Zi Jin" in this book... This scene made Guo Xuan a little moved.
After Guo Xuan entered, he saw a man who seemed to be in his thirties, wearing casual clothes, standing in front of him. At first glance, he looked like a pampered and well-maintained Yameni young man. Who could tell that this man actually came from a poor family?
, the prime minister of the current dynasty who ranks below one person and above ten thousand people.
The other party looked at him for a moment and smiled: "You look more like your mother."
Guo Xuan hurriedly saluted, and the other party said with a smile: "You are the son of Senior Brother Guo, so I am considered your uncle, so I can accept your worship."
"No need to be restrained, sit down and talk!"
Guo Xuan felt a little unreal at this moment. Just two hours ago, he watched the opponent's car drive past in front of thousands of soldiers and civilians cheering.
The dignified prime minister who had made great contributions to the restoration of Liangzhou unexpectedly met him in his private house.
Guo Xuan didn't even know Zhang Yue's mood.
From the time when Guo Lin abandoned Miao Qiniang and then arranged a hasty marriage on the orders of his parents, then the two of them went to Beijing to take the exam, and now one of them is in Tokyo and the other in Xijing.
After seeing the son of an old friend, the vicissitudes of human affairs in the past twenty years have turned around in my heart. How can I express the feelings clearly in words?
"You came to Bianjing to study, and you didn't come to see me as your uncle. It was only because someone else happened to see your name on the list of newly admitted students that I learned about it."
"You are still staying in the inn and have never gone to Taixue to report! In this way, you will stay at my place these days."
"Jingyi!"
After a while, Peng Jingyi was at the door, and Zhang Yue ordered: "Send someone to the inn to fetch his luggage, settle all the bills, arrange a banquet, and settle down in the mansion first."
Zhang Yue ordered in a tone that could not be refused, regardless of whether Guo Xuan agreed or not.
Peng Jingyi said: "Yes."
Guo Xuan was a little anxious and was about to speak, but he had a classmate waiting for him in the inn.
Zhang Yue seemed to know what Guo Xuan was thinking and said, "Yes, you have a classmate living in the inn. Don't worry, I will make arrangements for him."
"You can live here as your own home. I will send a letter to my senior brother to make him feel at ease."
Having said this, Zhang Yue smiled to himself and said: "He didn't write to me, but I wrote to him instead. If it were different when I was studying in the past, I would definitely be annoyed with him!"
