After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 251 The Disadvantages of the Three Provinces and Six Departments System
At that time, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was not so well-known, and it had not become one of the four great classics, so Luo Guanzhong's attitude was to humbly ask for advice.

"I can only talk about my personal opinion on such a masterpiece as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Qin Yu said, "When a work is written, it is originally intended to be evaluated by future generations. There are a thousand Zhuge Liang in the eyes of a thousand people. "

Historical masterpiece?Luo Guanzhong was very excited when he heard the words: In the eyes of Mr. Qin, who studies heaven and man, my humble work is actually a masterpiece?
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes dozens of war scenes, large and small, with grand ideas and various techniques, making readers feel as if they have traveled across the millennium and visited the ancient battlefields at that time. Especially the descriptions of the battles of Guandu, Chibi and other wars are turbulent Ups and downs, ups and downs, it is thrilling to read. The text in the whole book is not very deep, the language is not very vulgar, and it is concise and clear."

"Before "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written, people were not very keen on the history of the Three Kingdoms. As soon as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" came out, a series of characters from the Three Kingdoms it portrayed became well-known to every household and woman in my country."

"It is not only an earlier historical novel, but also the most successful and influential work among ancient historical novels. It is widely circulated and has infinite charm. It has an inestimable influence in the history of literature and people's lives."

Actually...has such a high evaluation?

Hearing this, Luo Guanzhong's body trembled slightly. He didn't know that this novel he wrote would become one of the four great masterpieces in the future.

Is it really that good?Zhu Yuanzhang thought sideways, since the husband has such a high opinion of his book, it should be published and distributed on a large scale nationwide, and if the husband says it is good, then it is really good.

As for Shi Naian's "Water Margin", it has been banned because it describes too many villains.

Why is the gap between master and apprentice so big?
"However, there are still some deficiencies." Qin Yudao, "For example, it shows that Liu Bei is thick and fake, and that Zhuge is wise but close to a monster. Zhuge Liang is a generation of names, but he has been blown up as capable. A god who summons wind and rain is too much."

"There are so many people who hold on to this point and use it to attack the prime minister."

"Actually, Zhuge Liang misjudged the situation at the beginning of his Longzhong battle. He divided his troops into two places thousands of miles away, and failure is inevitable."

"Longzhong's right means to send troops from Jingxiang and Yizhou to attack Cao Cao. Sun Quan is not stupid. When Guan Yu sends troops from Jingzhou, he will definitely send troops from behind to attack Cao Cao."

"The second is to demote Cao and praise Liu. Cao Cao is actually a great politician, military strategist, and also a great poet. He played an important role in stabilizing the north for China."

"Looking at the entire Three Kingdoms, only Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang were able to lead troops to fight and leave poems to pass on to future generations."

"Yes, yes, sir is absolutely right." Luo Guanzhong said, "Excuse me, sir..."

"Lao Luo, isn't your family in a hurry?" Zhu Yuanzhang reminded just when he wanted to ask Qin Yu for advice on revision.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Qin, I almost forgot that there is some urgent matter at home that needs to be dealt with urgently, so I won't bother you." After Luo Guanzhong finished speaking, he stood up and left reluctantly.

Is the gas tank on fire at home?Seeing this, Qin Yu thought to himself.

"Mr. Qin, we also want to ask you a question, which is a real historical question." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Unlike him, such a good opportunity, what about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel?"

"What's the problem?" Qin Yu asked.

"What if, let's say, if a dynasty gradually prospers and finds that the six-part system is not enough?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

He planned to ask Qin Yu about the restructuring of the three provinces and six departments.

Such a major national event would certainly not be wanted by Luo Guanzhong, a minister who had just entered the court not long ago, to hear about it.Even if he will bring it up to discuss with the officials in the future, he is unwilling to let him get in touch with the most core secrets.

"The system of three provinces and six ministries is originally a backward system of the feudal dynasty." Qin Yudao, "It is enough when the social productivity is underdeveloped, but once the social productivity develops, it will fall behind."

"During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, the gate of the country was opened, and Western civilization entered. The emperor found that the system of three provinces and six ministries was not working. For this reason, a commercial department was specially added to manage commerce and railway mining."

"As for how to reform, it is very simple, that is subdivision."

"For example, the Ministry of Commerce should be in charge of commerce, the Ministry of Mining should be in charge of minerals, education should be in charge of education, the Ministry of Households should be in charge of household registration, the Ministry of Agriculture should be in charge of agriculture, and the Ministry of taxation should be in charge of taxation..."

"The finer the division of labor between the imperial court's functional departments, the more convenient and smooth it will be to operate."

"Just like society, the finer the division of labor in society, the more productive it will be."

"Take the household department in ancient times as an example. The household department not only manages land tax, but also manages customs duties, public debt, currency, and household registration... If one department manages too many affairs, it will become complicated, and as a result, none of them can manage well. "

"It turns out that it only needs to be subdivided?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized.

"Yeah, this is not a difficult problem." Qin Yu said, "How complicated do you think?"

"And there is another advantage to doing this. There are only six ministries in the six ministries, and there are only six ministers. The power is concentrated on the six of them. It is too powerful, which is not a good thing."

"For the feudal dynasty, the more concentrated the power of the ministers, the easier it is to threaten the centralization of the emperor."

"If dozens of ministries and dozens of ministers are established, their power will be divided."

Can you still divide the power of the six ministers?Very good!Zhu Yuanzhang was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.He thought to himself that luckily he had called Luo Guanzhong away just now, the power to divide the ministers already belonged to the emperor's art, and he really couldn't let him hear it.

"The six-part system means that power is only concentrated in the hands of six people. Once two of them unite, it will be enough for the emperor to drink a pot."

"For example, the Sanyang cabinet in the middle of the dynasty, the power of the court was controlled by a few of them."

"Divide the power of the six ministers. The more ministers in power, the harder it is for them to form a party and threaten the imperial power. After all, it is easy to form a party with two or three people, but it is more difficult to form a party with dozens of people. "

"Not bad, not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.

The most taboo of being an emperor is the faction of ministers, and subdividing the six ministries into dozens of ministries is equivalent to greatly weakening the possibility and harm of their party formation from the root.

If it were changed to before, each of the six ministers would hold a lot of power.

Once two or three people form a party, it can threaten the stability of the court.

In the past, once the emperor discovered that a minister had formed a party, the way to deal with it was to dismiss him from office or ransack his family and exterminate his family.But this method is only 'blocking', no matter how strong the blocking is, it will not prevent the occurrence of ministers forming a party.

And Qin Yu's method is sparse, which weakens the possibility of forming a party and its destructive power from the root.

Blocking is worse than sparse.
