What should I do if I am beheaded by the First Emperor at the beginning?

Chapter 291 The theory of the official system is easy and casual [Second update, please subscribe]

Chen Ke was not surprised by this. He was the one who proposed the ninth-rank official system, and it was only right for him to continue to improve it at this time.

If one ignores the brush tightly held in Chen Ke's hand and the unwillingness on his face, Fu Su will also believe what Chen Ke said.

Chen Ke rolled his eyes, looked at Fusu and said, "Actually, although it is difficult to determine the official system and the rank of officials, as long as there are two references, the rest will be easy."

"This reference, one is the official rank of San Gong, and the other is the official rank of Xianyang City."

"Use the rank of the Sangong to determine the ranks of the rest of the officials, and use the rank of Xianyang City to determine the ranks of the localities."

"Your Majesty, can someone bring you the rank that Prime Minister Li Si proposed before?"

"Are there any of these two items?"

Fu Su nodded slightly. He looked at Chen Ke and said, "Teacher, Father has already expected this, so he specially asked someone to send the rank proposed by Prime Minister Li."

"After the court's discussion, the father and Prime Minister Li agreed that the "Sangong" could be "the first grade", but in the official position, only the three gentlemen can be the first grade. "

"Jiuqing and below are not even allowed from the first rank."

"Besides, the letter sent by the father also said that Prime Minister Li felt that if there were only two ranks for each rank, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate?"

"It's not like setting up a "side first grade" between the first grade and the second grade. "

"It's because the first rank has three levels, and the ninth rank has 27 levels, so the division is more detailed."

Chen Ke frowned and thought about this matter carefully, then shook his head slightly: "Actually, I also have opinions on the finer divisions, but it's not suitable to set up the first-rank to third-rank."

"On the contrary, it can be divided into details below the fourth grade."

"If the first-rank, second-rank, and third-rank divisions are too detailed, then there will be too many people standing at the top."

Chen Ke drew a triangle symbol on the paper, then looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, look."

"Today's Daqin is this symbol."

"At the bottom is the head of Guizhou, then there are small officials, and at the top are officials in the nine-rank official system."

Chen Ke pointed to the triangle and said: "The structure of power is like this triangle. The higher you go, the smaller it is, and the smaller the people it can accommodate."

"At the top is His Majesty, and His Majesty's subordinates are the San Gong, and further down are other officials."

Chen Ke said quietly: "Prime Minister Li's thinking is correct, and he has indeed identified His Majesty's thinking."

"Because if there are only three princes in the first rank, then it is not a good thing for His Majesty."

"It's not a good thing for Daqin either."

"Because the power that represents the Sangong is too great, it may even threaten the imperial power at some point."

Hearing Chen Ke's words, Fu Su was startled: "Then what can the teacher do to solve it?"

Chen Ke pointed to the graphic and said, "Of course there is."

"It even has the same idea as Li Si's, which is to divide these powers."

"It's just that the specific methods we thought of were different. Li Si felt that we should divide the upper-level advancement channels a little more, so as to avoid excessive concentration of power."

"But in fact, he subconsciously ignored a direction."

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ke's mouth, and that smile looked very cold: "Why should there be more hierarchy settings instead of more power division?"

"Nowadays, the prime minister has too many things to deal with."

"No matter what kind of government affairs all over the country look like, they actually have to go through the hands of the prime minister."

"Why not separate this power?"

"For example, for people's livelihood, set up a department about people's livelihood, and for taxes, set up a department about taxes."

"For education, set up an education department, and for research, set up a research department."

"The ranks of the chiefs of these departments are not high, and they can be set to the second rank."

"On the surface, the prime minister is actually in control of these matters. After all, the matters handled by the officials of these departments still have to continue to be written."

"It's just that the prime minister has changed from a person who came up with an idea to a person who judges whether the idea is suitable."

"He can't specifically interfere with these things, unless the emperor is too weak."

Chen Ke looked at Fu Su and said: "In this way, the possibility that His Majesty and Li Si thought about can be avoided, and it is even better than what He thought."

"It's just that Prime Minister Li is not entirely out of selfishness, because this method requires a lot of talents, and Daqin does not have such conditions today."

Fu Su nodded slightly: "The teacher is right."

"Then do you still want to do it like this?"

Chen Ke nodded: "Of course, if there is not enough manpower, we will slowly develop education and popularize manpower."

"We create what is not enough!"

"In ancient times, Yi was able to shoot down nine suns, and Emperor Yu was able to dig canals and control floods."

"We Chinese people never rely on any gods, but only rely on our own hands to create everything!"

Fusu's blood was surging when he heard it, and he only wished that he could see that day soon.

Then he asked a key question: "Teacher, what is important for us now is to take out the local bureaucracy."

"It's better to set these things up afterwards."

Chen Ke was lying on the table like a wilted vegetable.

"San Gong is the first rank, Jiuqing and other officials who manage various aspects are the second rank."

"These are the most important department heads."

"Then the deputy of these institutions is from the second rank, and some officials from the deputy to the next level are the third rank."

"If I'm not mistaken, Li Si's Xianyang order should also be a third-rank one, right?"

Fusu nodded immediately: "Yes, teacher, the Xianyang order is the third grade."

Chen Ke said boredly: "That's easy to say, let's go over the frame first."

"My governor is ad hoc, so I am also a third-rank in the grade."

"But normally speaking, the rank of Xianyang City can be half a rank higher than that of the state governor, so Penglaizhou, that is, the chief of the state level, should be from the third rank."

"As for the deputy governor, the governor of the state, and the governor of the state army, they are half a rank lower than the governor of the state, which is the fourth rank."

Chen Ke said while Fu Su recorded.

"Some institutions further down, such as the state-level "Municipal Property Administration", are in charge of half a rank lower than the prefect of the state, that is, from the fourth rank. "

"For the counties, the ranks of officials should be set to follow the management of the prefectures. The "state city" is the capital of a state. Each rank is half a level lower than the prefecture, and ordinary counties are one level lower. "

"That is to say, the prefect of Linzi County is the fourth rank, the governor and lieutenant are the fourth rank, and the envoy of the Municipal Department of Materials is the fifth rank."

"The prefects of Jiaodong and Langya are the fourth rank, the governors and lieutenants are the fifth rank, and the envoys of the Municipal Department of Materials are the fifth rank."

"Then counting down, the county magistrate at the county level is two and a half levels lower than the county."

"That is to say, the county magistrate is the seventh rank, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant are the seventh rank."

"The County and City Property Administration is the eighth rank, and some officials in the rest of the county government, such as the master book, the pastor's order, etc., are from the eighth rank to the ninth rank."

"As for the township orders, pavilion chiefs, village chiefs, etc., they are low-level officials."

Chen Ke raised his head, looked at Fu Su and said, "Do you think this is feasible?"
