Chapter 793 Official System
At this moment, their small Changshui County naturally has nothing to do at this moment, not to mention them, even the capital of Huzhou, seems a little powerless in this upcoming big event.

Inside the state capital, Governor Wei Yanqing looked serious and walked slowly with his hands behind his back. He is thinking about this now, and for an official of his level, he can be sure that Bai Chuchen of Changshui County has won the title of Minister Only then did he put forward the proposal to streamline the reform of the official system.

Because of this matter, Master Shang Shuling has already personally reviewed it, greatly appreciated it, and is planning to discuss it in the Shoufu Pavilion.

"Fortunately, I didn't suppress this suggestion at the time, but reported it truthfully. It was almost, almost!" At the moment, the governor Wei Yan had a look of fear on his face. At that time, he felt that something was wrong, so he reported it truthfully. Sure enough, this is an upper-level game.

Thinking about it carefully, Master Shang Shuling is 'ruthless'. He just cleaned up the land system a few years ago, and now he is focusing on the official system.

Not only is it ruthless, but it is also extremely courageous. Not everyone dares to do this kind of thing.

Of course, officials of Wei Yanqing's level can't see that the current official system has indeed reached the point where it should be reformed and changed. Among other things, there are one in three officials in the state capital. Eating "empty pay", the physique of the officials in the entire state capital, down to the city and county government is indeed a bit too bloated, but although he has an idea for this kind of thing, it is not something that he, a governor, can decide.

The setting of official positions is a matter for the Ministry of Officials. He can appoint and dismiss, but he cannot 'eradicate' a certain official position. Perhaps the only person who can do this is the Lord Shang Shuling.

"However, even if Shang Shu ordered the adults to do this, the resistance they will encounter will definitely be quite huge, and once it starts, it will be difficult to end. At that time, there is only one way to take the blame and resign." Wei Yanqing had already seen through the essence of the matter.

Although many people have seen what is going on with this matter, it has to be said that Chu Xian borrowed the 'suggestion' from Changshui county magistrate to carry out this matter, which is indeed very clever.

At least, Chu Xian can pretend to be fascinated and judge this matter from the perspective of a 'third party'.

At the chief ministerial meeting, Chu Xian first criticized this suggestion, and when everyone thought that Chu Xian was schizophrenic, Chu Xian changed the subject again and began to talk about the benefits of this suggestion.

This means, everyone understands, I will criticize this matter first, and then you can shut up after a while.

That's probably what it means.

Fortunately, the vast majority of officials at the level of the Shoufu Pavilion are real superiors. In their eyes, all affairs must be focused on the holy pilgrimage. They know that there are advantages and disadvantages to the official restructuring, but the advantages must far outweigh the disadvantages. .

"Master Chu, the issue of the official system, to be honest, I raised it in the Shoufu Pavilion 20 years ago, but it didn't go away after that. I heard that Master Situ even wanted to implement it earlier, but In three days, hundreds of memorials were sent from various states and localities, and some of them were even more violent."

It was Yang Zhenqing who spoke. He has rarely spoken recently. It is strange that he is the first to speak at this moment. What is even more strange is that he actually agrees with Chu Xian's point of view, but at the same time, he also poured a basin of cold water on it. .

The big Situ next to him sighed: "Do you still remember this matter, Grand Master Yang? Yes, it was a long time ago. When I was Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I wanted to implement reforms and reduce official positions. For my subordinates, it can reduce the burden. Efficiency, yes, but the centralization of power is also good for the expenditure of the Ministry of Finance, but in the end it still doesn’t matter. If people are dissatisfied with you, the real reason for failure is that in terms of the division of subordinate official positions, the plan put forward by the Ministry of Officials is lacking. The simplest one is that there must be dedicated officials for canal supervision, ships, warehousing, and freight transportation. It is necessary to divide supervision, documents, accounts in detail, and there are dozens of officials listed just for the guards of the river. Under the simplification, the authority of one person is expanded, and sometimes it is difficult to take care of it. This is also a common problem. Therefore, although the official system It's bloated, but it's hard to cut, so it just goes away."

Hearing this, several other officials in the Shoufu Pavilion nodded again and again, especially the current Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who felt the same way: "It is a fact that the number of officials is bloated, but there are indeed specific considerations for increasing the number of officials. , Of course, there are also some irrelevant positions in various places that can be eliminated, but the number is not large, and the significance is not very great."

The meaning of this sentence is that even if the official system is to be mobilized, at most it is just a small fight, and it is impossible to have any practical effect.

The little money left in this way is not enough for this toss, and the gain outweighs the loss.

And the implication is that doing so has no value or benefit.

Chu Xian listened very carefully, and was basically sure of one thing, at least in the Shoufu Pavilion, there was a consensus on the bloated official system, but why bloated?

It is also the result of the increasing actual situation, just like the example given by Da Situ just now, the operation of the river channel must have official records of clerical accounts, right?There must be warehouse officials along the road to come to the officials, right?There must be special guards to guard them. Some officials may be free, but it is impossible not to have them.

The biggest contradiction right now lies in this point.

Some seats are indeed of little significance, but they cannot be left without.

Many reforms of the official system in the past have also been stuck here, and there is no way to proceed.

At this time, the question was finished, and Chu Xian spoke.

"Sometimes, it is necessary to cut the mess quickly, but sometimes, it is necessary to solve the problem, and it is necessary to distinguish the seemingly identical things, just like most of the time, the river transportation and land transportation storage in various places are two skins, and the meeting In winter, when the river is closed, the warehouses are empty for several months, and the officials are idle. If you don't ask, teachers in many places will be unsustainable. The books are worn out, and the school halls are leaking, but there is no one to take care of them. Therefore, the current situation is that they should be taken care of. "

Officials at the first and auxiliary cabinet levels seldom get involved in these matters, but little knowledge does not mean ignorance, even if they do not know, they have heard about it and will not deny it. , there are not many similar people.

So there is a reason why the Shoufu Pavilion has a higher level and discusses things more efficiently.

At this moment, many immortal officials are thinking about it, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is also thinking hard. He agrees with what Chu Xian said, but the question is how to do it?

Just sorting out the list of officials from various places and making adjustments is not something that can be done by three or five people in three or five days.

Chu Xian also knew that today's discussion would not be able to produce substantive results, but what he wanted was a wind direction, an attitude from the top to the bottom.

Chu Xian wants to tell the officials all over the world that this time, Shengchao is definitely going to attack you.

As for the method, Chu Xian naturally discussed some ideas with Bai Zijin, but it still needs to be refined, and this matter is not a one-day job.

"I have established the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I will be stationed in the Ministry of Officials to assist the Ministry of Officials in sorting out the list of officials. If we want to face the reform first, we should start from Jingzhou. Officials above the fifth rank will be divided first, and some irrelevant official positions should be canceled or merged, and even some government offices can be canceled and merged if necessary."

Chu Xian's tone was firm, but he was actually saying something tentatively.

Only Chu Xian knows how big the action is this time, and I believe that everyone in the Shoufu Pavilion should be able to see what he said.

They could agree to the small fights before, but it is not certain whether they can agree now.

After all, according to what Chu Xian said, the scope of this kind of change is almost unlimited, and maybe the division of powers in the first auxiliary cabinet will also have to be changed accordingly.

Because only if the top moves, the bottom can make corresponding changes. Otherwise, the top will not move, and only the officials below will be allowed to move.

Sure enough, Chu Xian's words came out, and the atmosphere in the Shoufu Pavilion was different.

Motivating others and motivating oneself are definitely two different things, and even officials at the level of the Shoufu Pavilion can't figure out how Chu Xian's change in the relationship will change. Could it be that he still intends to dismiss the Shoufu Cabinet members?
So the officials present at the moment, except Grand Master Xiao Yu, all had weird expressions on their faces, and even Da Situ had a look of astonishment. He probably didn't expect Chu Xian to make such a big commotion.

In fact, there are some things that Chu Xian really didn't intend to say now, but seeing the current situation, it seems that it is better to say it while the iron is hot, and it can also do the work on Tongshoufu Pavilion earlier.

So Chu Xian said: "Let me give another example, the Shoufu Pavilion."

When the word Shoufuge came out, the expressions of all the immortal officials present changed, and even Grand Master Xiao Yu, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes abruptly.

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely tense in an instant.

Since ancient times, who would dare to make false comments about the Shoufu Pavilion?

Chu Xian, the Shang Shu Ling, is probably the first one.

Of course, the current Chu Xian has this status, but the sudden appearance of such a sentence still made most of the immortal officials change their expressions.

Yang Zhenqing's reaction was the most obvious.

"Master Chu, the Shoufu Pavilion is the core center of the Holy Dynasty. Do you mean that there is also a problem with the Shoufu Pavilion?" This is a rhetorical question, but in fact, it is questioning and denying what Chu Xian is about to say if.

No matter what Chu Xian said next, Yang Zhenqing would not agree.
