Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 755: Being severely insulted by the paper and ink of the Song Dynasty

Then Wu Zhizhong stood up in the court and opposed the continued appointment of the third envoy.

He also believes that branch management can not only greatly improve the efficiency of government affairs in various departments, but also solve the problem of overstaffing and overstaffing in many departments.

He also made suggestions to the officials, that is, to split the powers of the three ministers. One is the tax department responsible for managing the world's taxes, and the other is the branch responsible for the overall management of national fiscal expenditures.

In addition, Salt and Iron was allocated to a newly established Xinjiang Department to comprehensively manage various national lands and resources such as salt, iron, gold, silver, copper, and coal within the Song Dynasty.

In the end, there is only a simple household department left, just do the work of the household department honestly.

Furthermore, the prosperity of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty has reached an unprecedented level.

In Bianliang, Tokyo alone, tens of thousands of people are not engaged in agriculture, but are engaged in handicrafts and commerce.

Moreover, tax revenue from industry and commerce has become the main source of tax revenue in the Song Dynasty.

In order to supervise and regulate the market, it is recommended to add a Ministry of Commerce.

Furthermore, the Shenlei Division under the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty will be separated and merged with many military workshops and departments that manage military workshops in the world. The Ministry of Armament will be responsible for overall management.

This solved the past practice of disorganized armaments management in the Song Dynasty, with states and counties doing their own thing, and wasting countless money.

The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Taxation, the Branches, the Ministry of Xinjiang, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Armament.

In addition, due to the tradition of Chinese civilization, coupled with various factors such as feudal superstition, it is believed that the odd number of eleven is really unlucky. Therefore, some people later proposed that the power of the official department was too great, and the promotion and demotion of officials were all determined by The Minister of Civil Affairs has the final say. If it is unreasonable, it must be changed.

Otherwise, part of the functions should be separated and become a new ministry responsible for supervising officials.

Of course, some people jump out that the Song Dynasty attached great importance to official studies and imperial examinations, and that was why the Song Dynasty enjoyed prosperity and long-term peace and stability.

Therefore, it is believed that the Imperial College should be abolished and the Ministry of Education should be established. This way, the number of twelve corresponds to the twelve earthly branches and the number of twelve hours in a day, which is very auspicious.

This series of bombshells immediately shook the entire Song Dynasty as if it had been hit by a magnitude [-] earthquake.

Almost as soon as the court meeting ended, the civil and military officials above the court were completely stunned by the news, and they had not had time to fully digest the news.

There were already countless fast horses galloping in all directions of the Song Dynasty.

What shocked the world was that the most fierce opposition was mainly from the other five of the six Shangshu.

After all, both Wu Zhizhong and Chen Shilang supported it, but the other five ministers knew very well that the doubling of the six departments of the court meant that their power was at least doubled.

In particular, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was even more red-eyed. He almost wanted to die in the court to express his will, and asked the ignorant king not to act blindly.

If so many power departments are really divided, I am afraid that the second-ranked position in the past will have no choice but to watch the other yamen being popular and popular in the future.

As for the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, although he also strongly opposed it, his attitude was far less fierce than that of the Ministry of Finance. It can even be said to be a bit low-key.

Looking into the reason, the main reason is that the power of the Ministry of Personnel is really huge, similar to the combination of the Organization Department and the Commission for Discipline Inspection in later generations.

Even if some power is allocated, the Ministry of Personnel still ranks first in power.

Therefore, it is up to the household department to do the work, and it is better for the dignified officials and heavenly officials to stay behind and develop.As the news spread, officials from all states in the world came to the table one after another to express their high praise for the imperial court's reform of the six departments.

Even in Bianliang, Tokyo, this intention for reform has become a carnival for countless officials to celebrate.

After passing countless imperial examinations, he obtained official status, but his talents were not actually awarded official positions, so he could only waste his time and lamented until he was old.

After all, ten radishes used to occupy one pit, but now, the pits have doubled, and ten radishes may occupy two pits.

Let them have a greater chance of getting a real job and the opportunity to serve the country, so whoever is not happy with it is really like killing people and killing their parents.

The Song Dynasty's "Tokyo Business News" and Na were vigorously advocating the wisdom and martial arts of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and explained in detail the benefits brought by the branch administration of the Song Dynasty.

It can not only solve the problem of redundant officials, but also solve the problem of overstaffing, so that the government's decrees can be implemented.

Anyway, in one sentence, I can boast vigorously that the current reforms of the Song Dynasty are good and wonderful.

Moreover, the emperor is so wise and powerful, and since he came to power, the rebellion in Jiangnan was inevitable.

The Western thieves in the northwest who had troubled the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years were finally fundamentally solved under the emperor's wise decision-making and strategizing.

Whether it is the vigorous development of industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River or the development of the northwest frontier, the national power and centripetal force of the Song Dynasty have reached a new level.

The people all recognized the decision made by the wise and powerful emperor, and those ministers who dared to obstruct it, even if they were not treacherous, were just mediocre people who were stuck in their own ways.

As for the many tabloids in Bianliang, Tokyo, they all issued voices representing different factions.

However, their circulation of only two to three thousand copies could not be sold outside Tokyo.

Compared with the "Tokyo Business Daily", which uses movable type printing, each issue has a circulation of more than 80 copies and is sold to Jiangnan, Hebei, northwest and even Sichuan and other places, it is not at the same level.

It can be said that the huge sales volume of "Tokyo Business News" and the reputation of the superiors for the reform of the imperial court's institutions guided the public opinion of the Song Dynasty to develop in a positive direction.

#####
As a result, the voice of those who oppose this matter is getting weaker and weaker, and even the waves are gone before they can foam.

Taking advantage of this organizational reform of the Song Dynasty court, the sales volume of "Tokyo Business News" can be said to be increasing day by day.

And the "Jiangnan Business News" has now sold the newspaper to Bianliang, Tokyo, because the content of "Jiangnan Business News" and the focus and editors of "Tokyo Business News" are different.

Therefore, "Jiangnan Business News", which focused on introducing various products from the south of the Yangtze River and various goods imported from the sea, also had a huge readership among the merchants of the Song Dynasty.

As for the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Tao Su Wen, except when Zhou Bangyan led him out of the embassy, ​​he naturally had no chance to leave the embassy on weekdays.

But fortunately, those two newspapers allowed him to know about the turmoil of the Song Dynasty court without leaving home.

I saw that the newspapers were reporting enthusiastically about the reform of the Song Dynasty's imperial court. However, the report on myself, the dignified ambassador of the Liao Kingdom, to the Song Dynasty had only a few hundred words, and it was not even the front page headline.

This made Xiao Tao Su Wen feel that Daliao's dignity had been severely insulted by Song's paper and ink.
