bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 4 The Three Divisions of Dingguo
The bedroom hall is not a small single hall, and there are still dragon chairs and dragon tables in the front hall, and it is easy to receive more than ten guests.

The front hall is facing the back, and there are seven screens, the first three screens are Jinnan wood carving screens, and the last four screens are Huahang brocade, separating the east and west sides.

There is a round tea table on the east side, and four small chairs are placed around it. I saw the imperial doctor last night, and I talked with Xiao Hongdou this morning, all by this tea table.

Behind the tea table is the dragon bed.

On the west side, there is a small hall that Han Dongwen didn't go to very often. Inside is a black wooden square table, enshrining the Four Treasures of the Study, and two vertical cabinets and bookshelves.

The cabinet on the left is full of classics, history books, poetry and music lyrics. Han Dongwen has already glanced at it a few times, and initially thinks that the value is not too great.

The cabinet on the right is the direction he cares most about. As usual, the daily memorials and regulations are displayed here, and they are changed every month for the king of a country to study and make decisions.

Han Dongwen was standing in front of the cabinet at the moment, frowning.

The cabinet was empty and spotless.

Where should I play the chapter?

There are no news websites here, let alone surfing the Internet. If you want to know the outside world, what else can you do besides watch some memorials?

"Come on!"

He pointed his head towards the door of the dormitory and shouted.

Soon there were footsteps rushing over.

"Your Highness."

"You...put on your clothes."

"Your highness, please calm down, servant girl..."

"I...forget it, put on your clothes and ask Xiaohongdou to come over."

Han Dongwen covered his head, thinking that it was time to officially announce the new rules, as always, after all, it was too much.

Now that he barely has a maid whom he knows well, I'm afraid he can only trouble her more.

------

Hearing Wenjun's call and asking Xiao Hongdou to go again, all the women in Yingchun Palace could only look sympathetically.

Sympathy, but also hope that the next one is not myself.

When Xiaohongdou stepped into the dormitory by herself, she was even more upset. She did follow Han Dongwen's order and did not take off her clothes.

"Sister, clothes!"

She gestured to Xiaohongdou.

"Ah, Your Highness...Your Highness, he said this morning that you don't need to take off your clothes when you enter or leave the dormitory."

Xiao Hongdou hugged her arm, signaling to the maid that she was fine.

"No need to undress?"

The maid's eyes widened a little, but then quickly dimmed.

"Congratulations, sister, I'm afraid I'm going to be caught by His Royal Highness."

Xiao Hongdou shook her head straight: "No, no, I heard His Highness means that the rules of the bedroom will be changed in the future, and none of us need to take off our clothes."

"what……"

The maid opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, and pointed to the bedroom: "Sister, go in quickly, Your Highness has been waiting for a long time."

Even though she was wearing clothes, Xiao Hongdou saluted nervously.

Tension is also relative.

She is probably the least nervous maid who can stand in front of Han Dongwen now.

"Ah, little red bean."

Han Dongwen stopped pacing back and forth, and beckoned her to come.

"Where's the memorial on the cabinet?"

Xiao Hongdou looked at what Han Dongwen was pointing at, then lowered her head and replied, "Your Highness, it has been dealt with according to your instructions."

Han Dongwen sighed: "Why did I order it?"

"You don't need to bother Your Highness with the daily memorials, and those who have already made a decision in the third division don't need to be sent to the sleeping hall."

Third division, Han Dongwen knew as a former player.

The Department of State Law can be understood as the public security organs and legislative organizations, whose powers and responsibilities are to maintain social order and formulate and promulgate relevant rules.

The National Military Division can be understood as the top decision-making body of military affairs. Its powers and responsibilities are to maintain national security, guard the border and all military activities.

The National Finance Department supervises commerce, trade and farming, from people's livelihood and taxation to small business route development, all of which are supervised by the National Finance Department.

In addition, just as there are banking regulatory agencies and public security bureaus in every place, and armed police forces in every military region, the subordinate agencies of the third division are all over the whole country of Simeng.

It's a bit simple, but at least thoughtful.

Han Dongwen nodded, it seems that many backgrounds of the game can still be referred to.

"That is to say, the big and small matters that are reported every day are classified by department. It is up to them to classify whether they belong to crimes, national security, or people's livelihood and taxation..."

Han Dongwen nodded slightly, while Xiao Hongdou stood aside, not daring to say more.

She didn't understand these things at all, and she just learned some poetry from her father who taught since she was a child, so she couldn't get in the way.

"How to do it?"

Han Dongwen asked himself.

It is impossible for him to wave his hand, come here, I want to go to the court to manage the government, after that, the three divisions will no longer make decisions, but only follow my edict.

In that case, he might not be able to survive for a day, His Highness is about to rebel, this is it.

But this is somewhat helpful to find out who is in power. Since the power of judgment is in the hands of the third division, the person who controls the third division naturally controls Simeng.

However, military, law, and economy, can all citizens be controlled from these three aspects alone?

Han Dongwen frowned in thought.

Yes or no.

What if I was an ordinary person and went downstairs and drank a bowl of soup?

If there is no national army, I am afraid that the country will not be a country, and the soup will be drunk.

There is no national law, and I will be robbed if I drink half of it, or a gangster will stab me in the street.

Without a national economy, where can we get soup? Let's just lie flat and starve to death.

But what about after the soup?

"Little Red Bean, tell me about your family."

Han Dongwen pointed to the chair seriously: "Sit down and talk."

After repeated refusals, Xiao Hongdou was pinned down on the chair by Han Dongwen in fear.

"There is only one daughter in the servant's family..."

She found that Han Dongwen was listening very carefully.

"My father was a teacher in Bianzhou. My mother passed away when I was young. My father didn't renew her life. He only opened the school until the slave was conscripted into the palace..."

Little Red Bean's voice gradually decreased.

"……troubled you."

Han Dongwen's voice was a little rough, and he coughed lightly: "You said, your father is a teacher, right?"

Little Red Bean nodded.

This was the first thing Han Dongwen thought of.

After drinking the soup, those who teach teach, those who move bricks move bricks.

And those who are policemen, soldiers, and those who are in the three divisions, naturally have to go to work.

How to decide?

Appointment and removal, demotion and promotion, recruitment and failure.

This is the most important thing besides the Third Division—how to absorb people into the Third Division and become a part of the state apparatus?

Who will make the decision on the change of positions among the three divisions?
"Teaching...for what?" Han Dongwen asked.

"Teaching, teaching is only for living..."

Little Red Bean was a little timid, but also a little puzzled.

Why did the king of a country ask her about the family background of a maid here in such detail?

Could it be that, as the people in Yingchun Palace said, His Highness fell in love with him?
"No no no."

Han Dongwen shook his head: "I mean, who do you teach? Why should students learn?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there are the most common ones that need to be literate and recited, and some are read for scientific examinations. My father has professors."

Ah, the imperial examination, or the civil service examination.

Han Dongwen nodded.

He was about to ask again, when he suddenly heard a report from outside the bedroom:
"Your Highness, your medicine has arrived."

medicine?
That's right, Lord Wen must have drunk a lot of medicine with his body.

Han Dongwen raised his chin towards Xiao Hongdou, she immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the door of the bedroom.

Sitting next to Han Dongwen, she felt as uncomfortable as sitting on pins and needles. This time, she managed to calm down a little by doing what a maid should do.

"This is?"

Xiao Hongdou took the tray from the hand of the maid outside the hall, and asked with some doubts.

"His Royal Highness asked for a hairpin earlier, and sent it along with it."
