Chapter 563 Two Strategies Can Solve the Disadvantages of Redundant Officials in Song Dynasty? (one more)
"In the opinion of the two elders, it is absolutely unacceptable to reduce the size of the imperial examination or cancel it."

Gao Zhang nodded casually, and then asked the second question.

"So from this point of view, why do you say that my Song Dynasty has very serious redundant officials, bloated organizations, and overstaffed people?"

"..." Chen Shilang was about to speak, but Wu Zhizhong raised his hand to stop him. At this moment, Wu Zhizhong carefully looked at Gao Zhang, a child prodigy who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and the most important thing was his intelligence.

Seeing the other party's calm and confident expression, I couldn't help but feel like an old deer slamming into my heart.

"Could it be that my virtuous nephew has a way to solve my Song Dynasty's bloated organization and overstaffed people?"

"I don't dare to say a good strategy, but you two, please remember one thing. As the saying goes, things change with time. Since my Song Dynasty's imperial examination strategy is to adapt to my Song Dynasty's politics."

"And it is the best explanation for my Great Song Dynasty to be able to prosper. If this is the case, if I want to solve my Great Song Dynasty's overstaffed people and bloated organization, then naturally I can only start with the structure of the imperial court."

"Nephew be careful..." Chen Shilang couldn't help but his expression changed drastically, and he quickly stopped him.

"Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, I have tried to reform the imperial court organization. It has been nearly a hundred years since the reign of Renzong, but it has not been able to solve this problem."

"On the contrary, the more reforms are made, the more bloated the organization will become, and the disadvantages of overstaffing will become more obvious."

Wu Zhizhong nodded slightly, stroking his long beard and staring at Gao Zhang with burning eyes, wanting to know if he could think of any kind of magical method.

"Perhaps it's because those reformers didn't consider the interests pursued by the court officials."

Hearing this, Wu Zhizhong couldn't help but frowned, and subconsciously started to refute.

"The princes of the court are all officials of the country. The so-called ones are my great Song..."

It's just that he just said a few words, when he saw Gao Zhang looking at himself with a smile, and put his hands on his chest, as if I don't speak, I just watch you brag.

Just let Wu Zhizhong, a veteran of the three dynasties who was loyal to Song Dynasty, be punished. Looking at this kid with a dark face, he always felt that he was begging for beating.

#####
Seeing that Wu Zhizhong's face was dark and he didn't want to speak, Chen Shilang on the side simply lowered his head and drank tea.

Only then did Gao Zhang salute Wu Zhizhong, the elder, with a little apology, but at this moment, his words were like knives.

"Ming people don't speak dark words. If the officials of the Song Dynasty only wanted to be famous in history, they would serve the country loyally.

How did Xixia survive for more than a hundred years?My Great Song Dynasty, why did I sit back and watch the Liao Kingdom occupy the sixteen prefectures of Youyan, my Han family, and do nothing? "

"..." Wu Zhizhong opened his mouth, and there were countless reasons in his stomach, but at the same time, Wu Zhizhong also knew very well that the national policy of promoting culture and restraining martial arts in the Song Dynasty must be right.

But, what kind of birds are the civil servants in the court, can he not know?If it was caused by the faint king on the spot.

But which of the original Emperor Renzong and Emperor Shenzong was not the wise master?The results of it?Not the same...

Wu Zhizhong wiped his face, and finally let out a long sigh helplessly.

"Nephew, the old man knows that you have the talent to know the world, and you must have a good plan to solve it. Please tell me frankly, don't make me wait so anxiously."

"It's actually very simple. One is that the scale of the imperial examination cannot be reduced, so the threshold is increased. The second is that there are too many people, so it is clear to add institutions and implement the affairs to people."

"..." Chen Shilang and Wu Zhizhong looked at Gao Zhang who raised two fingers, as if what I said was very simple.

It always felt like he said everything, but he didn't seem to say anything.

But the problem is, whether it is the first or the second idea, it seems that this kid has a plan in mind.

"I said nephew, you mean, you have two strategies to solve the disadvantages of redundant officials in Song Dynasty?"

Gao Zhang thought for a while, and considering that the character of these two people is still very guaranteed, it was these two people who made the move when he was able to become provincial yuan.

Even in my own palace examination, these two partnered with the master, which made people in the world feel that they did not rely on officials, but on their own talents and knowledge to win the top spot on the gold list.

Gao Zhang nodded, thought for a while, and decided that it is better to start with the difficult and then the easy, depending on whether they take the bait.

"Little nephew, I will start with the imperial court institutions first. For example, the problem of overstaffing is actually due to the unclear responsibilities and powers."

"Regarding this point, my little nephew, I was deeply touched when I was working in Jiangnan Suzhou."

As soon as this remark came out, both Chen Shilang and Wu Zhizhong sat upright and listened intently.

After all, Gao Zhang served in Suzhou, and his political achievements were outstanding enough to make everyone in the world know that he was a capable official. Since he analyzed it from this aspect, he must have something to say.

First of all, the first point is the three provinces, six departments, 24 divisions, nine temples and five supervisors. This is the basic structure of the court of the Song Dynasty.

Similarly, this is inherited from the Tang Dynasty, perhaps because the Chinese nation likes to say auspicious numbers.

It is almost impossible to change the three provinces, six departments and nine temples, so why not change?
For example, during the Tang and Sui dynasties, the three provinces were the most important, and they were divided into six parts.But in fact, the three provinces and six departments are simply not enough.

Take simply one of the household departments as an example, which is in charge of national household registration, acres of land, currency, various taxes, official salaries, and financial expenditures.

Take a look, just one household department is equivalent to the combination of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Land Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, the Ministry of Commerce and even the central bank in later generations. The responsibilities and powers of each department are very important.

I don't know if it is the limitation of the times, but I have not been able to list them completely.

For example, in a certain period of the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was really no other way, and there was only a third envoy, or a group of officials would follow suit when the minister was in charge of it full-time.

why?It's not just the country's fiscal revenue and expenditure, which is definitely a very important event.

However, it was later merged into the Ministry of Household Affairs.Moreover, if the household department can be directly divided into three to four departments.

Not only can the powers and responsibilities be clarified, but more importantly, it can also attract a large number of officials to do practical things, and those who are responsible for taxation are responsible for taxation.

Those who are in charge of financial allocation will do your financial allocation.

As for the household registration, disaster relief, and people's livelihood management of the household department, this is enough for him to worry about.

Chen Shilang and Wu Zhizhong stared straight at the young man in front of them, sipping the tea soup, while expounding his idea with reason and evidence.

I was so shocked that I couldn't add more, and I felt more and more that this really has a great possibility of implementation.

First of all, the first point is that if there are two more ministries, there will be two more ministers and six ministers, and they are all in real power.

The redundant officials in the Song Dynasty were not only in the middle and lower ranks of officials, but there were also a large number of officials in the upper ranks.

Or just change the way to fight those officials with real power, so that you can take the position.

　The pain in my whole body has eased a little today, and I still have a low-grade fever. Well, there are two more updates, and I am still writing
