The areas involved in the inner government were originally areas that the six departments simply disdained or were unable to cover.
The Imperial Household started out as a charity. From the perspective of Liubu, this is obviously something that the concubines in the harem can do only if they have the benevolence of women. Anyway, it is not a bad thing to help everyone, especially the military, solve the problems of military widows and children.
.
Then the inner government still got involved in the fields of medical treatment and education. One was based on Taiyuan Hospital. No one could say anything. Treating diseases and saving people was really not within the jurisdiction of the six ministries. The six ministries were busy and had no mood to take care of these. The other was
It is based on the major academies that have been built before. It is hard to say anything about this. The Sixth Ministry also hopes that these academies can provide more talents in the future. Originally, the person behind the academy was His Majesty. Now His Majesty has asked the inner government to take over.
It's just a different name, the people are still the same people, there is no difference.
As a result, the inner government really gradually expanded in these fields. Hospitals, pharmacies, academies, charity halls, etc. all had the inner government behind them. The inner government even changed from the original money-distributing agency to what it is now.
Being able to generate revenue from pharmacies and hospitals as an institution with negative profits and losses surprised Liu Bu, but at the same time he also put aside his original contempt.
It was at this time that rumors spread that His Majesty used the Inner Palace as the Inner Court. It was impossible for the officials of the six ministries not to tremble in their hearts. The Inner Palace was established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to isolate the outer court. Once the Inner Palace was really established,
If the inner court of the Han Dynasty is defeated, there will be nothing to do with the Six Ministries. The officials of the Six Ministries can just wait and drink the northwest wind.
However, Li Xingchen obviously did not intend to do this. Since then, the inner government has not gone further. Instead, it has frequently taken the initiative to express its goodwill to the six ministries, hoping to strengthen cooperation between the two parties in equipment development, financial planning, food supply, talent exchange, etc.
Although the Six Ministries don't know what the inner government thinks, or they don't know what His Majesty's true intention is, they are still happy to carry out such cooperation.
For Li Xingchen, the development of the inner palace was just to find something for the concubines in the harem to do, and to solve some problems that the imperial court could not take into account. Li Xingchen was not a prophet. At that time,
The Han Dynasty had only just established a foothold in the south. Li Xingchen himself did not even know when he would be able to lead the Han Dynasty to defeat the Northern Zhou Dynasty and finally dominate the world.
Now that five or six years have passed, Li Xingchen is actually very pleased that the situation has developed into such a situation.
Therefore, Li Xingchen actually began to consider how new things such as the inner government should cooperate with the existing six ministries and other departments of the imperial court after the Han army stabilized its pace on the battlefield, and even integrate some repetitive tasks.
Of course, Li Xingchen is aware of the conflicts and oppositions that have arisen between the Six Ministries and the Inner Government. However, such conflicts are often limited to the allocation of funds, the mobilization of talents, etc., and will not lead to complete conflicts between the Inner Government and the Six Ministries.
They have broken their skin, so there is still a basis for mutual cooperation between the two parties.
As the scale of the Inner Palace expanded, Li Xingchen also gradually regarded the Inner Palace as part of the Han Dynasty, rather than his own private property. Therefore, all the six ministries had to accept the existence of the Inner Palace in the same way as they accepted the newly established Ministry of Agriculture of the Han Dynasty——
In fact, the Six Ministries is just a general term. The Han Dynasty has divided the Ministry of Household Affairs and established the Ministry of Agriculture. At the same time, it is also planning to split the Ministry of Industry to distinguish the department responsible for technology research and development from the department responsible for field production. There are similar policies for other departments.
planning.
As the Han Dynasty gradually progressed from an agricultural society to an industrial society, the composition of society naturally gradually changed from the original simplicity to the current more and more complex one. Therefore, the original six simple parts were of course not enough to meet the current needs.
It is reasonable for departments to gradually separate and be responsible for more detailed parts. Since the six departments can accept the emergence of new things like the Ministry of Agriculture, they must also accept that the inner government will gradually become an equal unit with them.
"Books with the same text, cars with the same track, the world should belong to the Han." Li Xingchen said slowly.
Chen Shushen cupped his hands.
Lechang also has a very important task when he goes north this time. Naturally, it is to make the inner government agencies in the south and the north consistent in various standards, so as to be more conducive to the next step of the inner government construction, and the inner government is only one step.
After the inner government took the lead, of course the six ministries had to follow closely. Previously, in order to stabilize the north, the Han Dynasty adopted many policies for the north that were very loose. Now it is natural for the whole country to unify.
Although the North has been barren due to years of war, if it continues to enjoy looser laws and incentives for business than those in the South, it will only make the differences and inequality between the North and the South wider. Businessmen and students in the South
, why do you have to work harder just because you were born in the south to get the same results as your counterparts in the north?
Therefore, except for basic policies such as light corvee tax exemptions, which are still biased towards the poorer north, the rest of the policies must be uniform. This time, the inner government also wants to take the lead for the six ministries. This is why the six ministries are eager to cooperate with the inner government.
, after all, this is ready-made experience.
There was the sound of carriages and horses stopping outside. Without Li Xinchen's instructions, Chen Shushen had already taken the initiative to stick his head out, and after a moment he pulled back and said: "Your Majesty, Yecheng is in sight."
Li Xingchen took a breath.
The road from Jiankangfu to Yecheng took a long time, but we finally saw the end point.
Chen Xuanhua was also woken up and asked in a daze: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"We've arrived in Yecheng." Li Xingchen gently stroked her hair.
"We've all arrived in Yecheng!" Chen Xuanhua sat up in a hurry and said with a pout, "I told you to wake me up half an hour in advance. Your Majesty must have forgotten."
"Isn't it because you are too tired and I want you to rest a little longer?" Li Xingchen said with a smile.
"No way!" Chen Xuanhua snorted.
Li Xingchen glanced at Chen Shushen helplessly: "Okay then, let's talk to your brother and forget about the time, okay?"
Chen Shushen also smiled and said: "It's all my fault for delaying Your Majesty, brother. Don't be angry, sister."
"You and your ministers are of one mind, so they definitely don't know what evil they are planning." Chen Xuanhua glanced at the two of them, got up and got out of the car, and said anxiously, "We all agreed to Miao'er to take over. It's all your Majesty's fault for delaying the matter."
Chen Shushen was stunned for a moment, pointed to his nose, and wanted to call his sister over, so he could ask, why does someone look like a bad person, so he must be planning bad things?
Li Xingchen smiled and patted his brother-in-law and brother-in-law: "Let's go, this is my first time coming to Yecheng. Let you and I, the monarch and my ministers, see what kind of city this is that can stand in front of me!"
"
Chen Shushen readily agreed: "No matter how majestic the city is, the current Han Dynasty should flatten it with the strength of the whole country!"
