Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1189

Institutional reform is to change the status quo, changing the current bureaucratic system, which is undoubtedly equivalent to overthrowing everything now and re-establishing a set of administrative systems.

If this is placed in a prosperous age, it will be a reform.

Since ancient times, reformers, no matter whether they are successful or not, there are really few who have a good end.

Because no matter whether the new system adapts or does not adapt, whether it is better or counterproductive, one problem cannot be avoided, that is, in the alternating old and new systems, the interests involved will exceed everyone's imagination, and the greater the interests involved , the greater the resistance encountered.

In the face of interests, people's hearts cannot be measured.

In today's world, there are countless smart people, and it's not that no one is aware of the backwardness of today's bureaucratic system.

It's just that no one wants to change.

Therefore, most of the reforms are actually failures.

Now the Minghou Mansion is going to take advantage of a few opportunities to carry out a major reform, which will collapse all the current order of officials, and then re-establish a new one. It will definitely be a big earthquake.

Originally, Mu Jing had a plan in his heart, to take his time, to get rid of the decay, to accept the new system, and to have a process of adaptation. He is ready, in the future, in ten years, 20 years, 30 years, or even For a lifetime, come to establish a set that is different from the current management system.

He has historical references for the next 2000 years of feudal dynasties.

Not to mention his wisdom.

But his experience is absolutely unmatched in the current world.

He believes that he can come up with a management system that will make people's lives better, improve people's livelihood, open up people's wisdom, advance the times, and advance science and technology....

Now, Qin Song's sudden proposal.

It made him suddenly want to change directly.

Opportunities don't come all the time.

Right now.

Suffering from unevenness but not widowhood.

Governing Jingzhou and Guanzhong Chang'an is bound to rebuild order, and this is an opportunity. After the great chaos, the order at this time has actually been broken. When it is rebuilt, it is the best time for reform.

If they only changed the two places, they would agree that the Minghou Mansion was targeting them.

Therefore, Mu Jing just brought up this reason and wiped out all the areas under the current Minghou Mansion.

………………

From this day on, Zhaoming Pavilion entered a state of martial law.

Mu Jing even sent pigeons to pass on the letter, so that Huang Zhong also escaped from Jingzhou and came back directly. Huang Zhong walked on land, with one person and three guards, and six horses ran to death. Within two days, he rushed back to Jiangzhou City.

Zhaoming Pavilion, including Mujing, has a total of seven cabinet ministers to discuss this matter in person, which will change the entire Minghou Mansion system, and for the sake of confidentiality, no one is allowed to leave before this proposal is discussed. Zhaoming Pavilion.

Not because of fear of leaking secrets, but to establish such a rule.

That's why he established Zhaoming Pavilion.

Countless books and the systems of the previous dynasty were sent to Zhaoming Pavilion. There were fierce quarrels in Zhaoming Pavilion every day. The establishment of a system was not so easy. No one has everyone’s opinion. .

Five or six days passed in a flash.

But Zhaoming Pavilion is still in a state of martial law, no one is allowed to enter or leave, even the two wives of Minghou Mansion are not allowed to visit. This year should be the coldest year the Mu family has ever lived.

In the ninth year of Chuping, it came quietly.

Mu Jing, Hu Zhao, Qin Song, Liu Jin, Xi Zhicai, Huang Zhong, Cai Yong, seven people have already stayed in Zhaoming Pavilion for twelve days.

Argued again and again.

Proofread again and again.

Plans came out one by one, and plans were overturned one by one.

All seven are extremely intelligent people.

Just because their wisdom is different and their experience is different, their views are also different. Cai Yong and Hu Zhao are represented by a conservative style, while Mujing Xizhi is represented by a radical style.

Can't argue.

Mujing is the lord, but it concerns the lives of millions of people in Yizhou, Jingzhou, Guanzhong Liangzhou under the rule of the Minghou Mansion. Even if he is the lord, he can't say anything. People with more than one vote pass.

Liu Jin leaned towards Cai Yong and Hu Zhao, while Qin Song and Huang Zhong were somewhat neutral.

This is business.

One person has one's own political thoughts. The ancients often said that different ways do not conspire with each other. If they are not convinced, even if Mu Jing gets tough, Cai Yong and Hu Zhao's tough bones will all turn against each other because of different ways.

So the bickering continues.

"We govern the local area, the system is very important, one important and one important, when it comes to us, it is complicated and chaotic, which will have a great impact on our efficiency!"

"If you follow your plan, it will easily lead to local arrogance, which is not conducive to our development, and it may cause the greatest difficulty in centralizing our power in the future!"

"In short, I don't agree with you to follow the system of the previous dynasty. The Han Dynasty has lasted for 400 years, and it has not collapsed in the end. If this system is really feasible, the Han Dynasty today will not fall into this situation!"

"The Han Dynasty fell into such a situation, more because of people, not because of the imperial system!"

"No, don't think about it, if it weren't for the imperial court system, how would those aristocratic families, gentry and noble families dare to annex the land in such a way, forcing the common people to have nowhere to go!"

"This cannot be blamed on the imperial court's inaction. If the imperial court had no treacherous ministers and deceived the monarch, how could it fail to see the plight of the people!"

"If you listen, you will be clear and if you believe, you will be dark. Therefore, we must be bold and make the connection between the upper and lower levels closer. The court will die if it is separated from the people. If our Minghou Mansion is separated from the people, it will also perish!"

"..."

"Scholars are the foundation of officials. If we directly overthrow the system of filial piety and honesty, our hearts will shine!"

"No, just because scholars are the foundation of officials, we have to make them more aware of the importance of being an official!"

"..."

"If we want to directly separate taxation from people's livelihood, will we just add another part of the pressure on officials, and reopening a new government office may not be a good thing, and the tax itself is inseparable from reputation!"

"I think it's a good idea to be tax independent!"

"..."

"The official system must also be established. Without a censor, how can we supervise all officials? If officials exercise power, if they make mistakes, the people will suffer!"

"We can establish Yushitai according to the previous system."

"I don't think it's appropriate. From the perspective of the former dynasty's system, the Yushitai's actions are all empty-mouthed. In the imperial court, their effectiveness is not high!"

"To be honest, there are many reasons why the Han Dynasty has fallen to this point. It is because of the lack of supervision by the court, and the officials made mistakes, which caused some atmosphere. If you are greedy, the court will naturally fall!"

"So our censor system must be overthrown and re-established!"

"..."

Zhaoming Pavilion has been under martial law for No. 15 days. As for the outside situation, they don't care. There are seven of them now, and all their thoughts are devoted to this time, the establishment of a new system.

There are many problems.

Instead of breaking the status quo, a new system can be established.

There are more troubles to consider.

It is also necessary to take into account the local forces, so that they can't let them think of this matter and directly fall out, otherwise, there may be a big turmoil in Yizhou, and it is possible.

Therefore, stability must be considered.

But the new system cannot be made inactive because of stability issues, and this is not acceptable.

Now that you have decided to do it, you have to be thorough. What you are most afraid of is the most waste of resources and time.

……

The moon sets and the sun rises.

When a round of red sun crossed the sea level, strands of light poured down on the earth, and the gentle temperature melted the ice and snow.

Mu Jing has not slept for two days.

After being sniped by Cai Yong and Hu Zhao for two days, he dismissed his plan as useless, and felt depressed in his heart. To be honest, it is one thing that he has experience, but his logic is not enough, and his consideration of the problem is not comprehensive enough.

It is entirely for people to snipe.

If it weren't for Xi Zhicai's thoughtfulness, picking up supplements for him by the side, he would have already been KO'd. Whether it is Hu Zhao or Cai Yong, the court's great sages, their combat effectiveness in this regard is super strong. .

In the early morning, he sat on the threshold and watched the sunrise. The rising sun rose higher and higher, which made him feel much more comfortable.

"It can't go on like this!"

After everyone had breakfast in the morning, they continued to discuss. Hu Zhaoxian said: "Since everyone has established a plan, let's vote. The plan passed with the highest score will become the initial plan of our Minghou government's first plan." plan!"

These days, they are discussing, and each of them has established a brand-new ruling plan according to their own political ideas. Now let's see, whose plan can pass the voting meeting of Zhaoming Pavilion.

"Mine comes first!"

Qin Song put his plan on the table for everyone to circulate, and then the atmosphere seemed a little depressed.

"be opposed to!"

"be opposed to!"

"be opposed to!"

"be opposed to!"

"be opposed to!"

Five votes against.

Only Qin Song and Mu Jing remained without a vote.

There is no need to vote.

Five votes against is already a death sentence.

Qin Song is not depressed. He is very clear that his plan has too many flaws and is too biased towards an ideal country. When he is in power, the management power will appear too lax and it will be difficult to govern.

"This is my plan!"

Huang Zhong also racked his brains for the past few days and borrowed the thoughts of the other six people to come up with a relatively simple and sloppy plan and released it.

Mu Jing just took a look, and went out directly.

This is an absolute warrior.

If you follow him, it will be equivalent to implementing a full range of military control.

None of this needs a vote.

Direct six votes out.

Huang Zhong still seemed a little frustrated. Although he has been in the cabinet for a while, he has been learning to look at things from the big picture, and has been learning about political management across banks.

But obviously not as good as those scholars.

After all, he is just a warrior.

There are five people left.

Liu Jin thought for a while, and he released his plan first. Although Liu Jin followed Hu Zhao's footsteps, it doesn't mean that Hu Zhao's thinking is Liu Jin's thinking. people.

He still has radical elements, not too conservative.

But this plan lacks a comprehensive vision, which also shows that Liu Jin has not made much progress in terms of the overall situation.

In the end, it was out by four votes against.

Then there is Cai Yong's.

Cai Yong was a great sage of the imperial court in the past, and among them, whoever has the most experience in the imperial court is undoubtedly him with his ups and downs.

However, Cai Yong also has the same shortcomings as Qin Song.

I want the harmony of the world.

Treating this world as a utopia, turning all people's hearts towards the bright side, and lacking a strong management, this time seems too humane. Once the interests explode, it will directly cause turmoil.

Naturally, his plan could not be passed.

Then there is Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai's youth is his biggest flaw, and his lack of experience is his biggest problem. In military strategy, he can reveal his talent, but in commanding all civil and military affairs, his shortcomings are easily exposed.

He prefers Wu.

There is also the big picture.

However, the understanding of people's hearts and the grassroots is not deep and comprehensive enough, and it may even easily form dead ends, causing difficulties in governance and communication problems between superiors and subordinates.

So he was out with four votes against.

Two plans remain.

In fact, these days, they have been arguing about the plan.

One was formulated by Mujing himself.

One is the extension of Hu Zhao's previous system.

Mujing made a ruling plan based on the history he knew, which seemed comprehensive. The functions of each government office were more detailed, and the division of labor was also more detailed, but the current bureaucracy system had basically been completely overthrown.

The future has not happened, and no one knows whether this system is better or worse than the previous system. No matter what the speculation is, no one has ever known what has never happened.

The impact that can be caused, once it appears first, will inevitably affect the entire system.

In other words, the risk is too great.

And Hu Zhao.

Hu Zhao is a comprehensive and conservative ruling. His plan has only changed a little in the previous administration, deepening some of his own feelings, subtracting some redundant ones, and improving the function of some government offices. .

In fact, according to the current situation, his plan should be the best. After all, the stability is not enough now. If the action is too big, it will cause civil strife, so it seems that the gain is not worth the loss.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mujing's plan is more comprehensive, more targeted, and strengthens the control and supervision of power in terms of centralization.

So right now, it's a dilemma.

In the end, there can only be a vote.

Whose plan can be passed by a large percentage.

Whose plan will become the new system for Minghou Mansion to govern in the future.

The first to vote was Hu Zhao's.

Mujing abstained.

After all, he himself couldn't find any reason to object.

But Xi Zhicai objected, the reason being that he couldn't follow in the footsteps of the previous dynasty.

In the end, what was more unexpected was that Qin Song chose to oppose it.

Cai Yong, Liu Jin, and Huang Zhong agreed, plus his own vote, four in favor, one abstention, and two against. At present, it is the most likely set of proposals.

It was Mujing's turn to plan.

Mujing didn't appear to be too strong in this matter. If he was arrogant, he wouldn't need to build the Zhaoming Pavilion. He needed to gather the thoughts of the crowd to decide the direction of future governance.

Voting begins.

Cai Yong objected, and Hu Zhao objected.

The rest pass.

Five to two.

Passed by a large percentage.

The others were not surprised, but Mu Jing was slightly surprised by Liu Jin's passing.
