I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 985 Expanding the Cabinet Plan
First of all, the cabinet assistant ministers themselves have no definite powers.

This naturally ruled out the fact that their power is too great, resulting in the situation of forming gangs and forming gangs.

Secondly, although the cabinet ministers do not have specific powers, they have the duty to advise the emperor on his administration.

In this way, not only can the emperor's pressure problem be solved.

It can also prevent the possibility that sometimes the emperor will go his own way and turn a good thing into a bad thing.

The current model of cabinet participation in politics has only been three or four decades since its establishment, and it has only achieved initial results and has not yet formed a stable model.

But Li Tian still has success stories from later generations as a reference.

That is the personal advisory team of the president of the future generations of the United States.

The current cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty actually has many similarities with the presidential team of the later generations of the United States.

It's just that the presidential advisory group of the United States is a huge team composed of hundreds of people.

And what Li Tian has is just three or five court officials with rich experience in governance.

This number of people is barely enough for Daming today, but if Daming really embarks on the path he planned in the future, then these few people will definitely not be enough.

From now on, he wants to be a leisurely emperor. This advisory team needs at least dozens or hundreds of people.

As I said, there are many clerks in the cabinet who help Yang Shiqi and others in normal times, recording documents, analyzing data and so on.

But to be precise, they can only be regarded as handymen, and they have no qualifications at all to give opinions on major political affairs.

In Li Tian's vision, the total number of cabinet ministers will be increased or decreased according to the number of affairs in the future. In order for them to handle more affairs, they need to be equipped with a certain number of subordinates in the future.

In this way, almost each of them can support a share.

There are many advantages to doing this.

First of all, because the cabinet members are only responsible for making ideas, the final decision-making power is still in the hands of the emperor, and they have no real power in their hands, so the possibility of them forming a party for personal gain is eliminated.

Secondly, because they specialize in a certain aspect, these cabinet members and their subordinates can be transferred to any position in the same system at any time in the future to take on important responsibilities.

Those who come out of the cabinet group must have a much broader experience than those who slowly climbed up from the bottom, and their political resources are also extraordinary.

Such an official's ability to handle affairs is definitely far superior to that of ordinary officials, and is more worthy of the trust of the emperor and the cabinet.

This is tantamount to treating the cabinet as an exclusive institution capable of cultivating individual talents.

When there is nothing to do, they can act as the emperor's brain and help deal with government affairs.

When something happens, he can become an official with important responsibilities anytime and anywhere.

If you can make this system complete.

Let external officials be rotated to serve in the cabinet, and cabinet members can also be transferred to local governments.

In this way, the official system has an ecological adjustment.

It will not happen that a certain official has accumulated too much in the local area, forming a situation where the tail is too big to lose.

It also reduces the possibility of a situation where people like Ma Dazhong are too powerful and greedy, and no one can control them.

In general, if the cabinet is used well, it can not only become an important tool to relieve the pressure on the emperor, but also become a treasure land for controlling important positions in the world and exporting talents.

Li Tian left Yang Shiqi and others in Beijing this time and let them handle the government affairs, which was Li Tian's attempt.

If they can really do something to satisfy themselves this time.

In the future, he will consider formally introducing this new cabinet model to the stage.

Let Yang Shiqi and others form their own teams to share more major affairs between the DPRK and China.

Some people may wonder, let them form their own team, wouldn't it be breeding tigers, deliberately creating conditions for them to form gangs?

In fact, this is not the case, because although Yang Shiqi and others have their own team, they have no real authority and cannot manage specific affairs.

No matter how many of them there are, no matter how powerful their influence is, they will not be able to obtain benefits and interests other than their status from specific affairs.

If you want to make money and get more benefits, you can only get out of the cabinet and take up specific positions.

But if the cabinet really becomes a treasure land for rapid promotion, will anyone really be willing to leave?
Since ancient times, the main reason why an official can change from an honest official to a corrupt official is because their hands can control money.

If the money is managed by special people, they have no chance to touch it at all, so how can they be corrupt!

Among the consultant teams of later generations, there is a special team responsible for property management.

They are the only people who have the opportunity to be greedy for money.

Other teams have almost no chance.

As long as the supervision of the people who manage the money is done well, the possibility of corruption can be minimized.

The most effective way to prevent corruption is to keep money out of your hands and leave you with nothing to covet.

Of course, the establishment of the cabinet advisory group is only a temporary idea of ​​​​Li Tian. It is still uncertain whether it will be possible or not, and whether it will be as perfect as he imagined after it is formed.

Whether it will work or not depends on how effective it will be after the actual implementation.

However, Li Tian is still very confident in his own idea.

Because this method has been implemented by many countries for more than a hundred years.

Being able to stand the test of time still shows that it has its own advantages.

In addition, Li Tian is an emperor with real power, and there is a natural difference from the mascot-like president of the United States.

The advisory group can play an important role in the hands of a mascot. Li Tian believes that in the hands of a real emperor like himself, this model can definitely play an effect no less than theirs.

In fact, after all, Li Tian's ultimate goal is to be lazy and not to be overwhelmed by heavy government affairs every day.

Emperor, it is very important to make contributions, but it is also very important to have more time to enjoy life.

After telling Yang Shiqi and the others his thoughts, he handed them the expansion plan for cabinet members that he had prepared a long time ago.

The four of them can be said to be equal now, and each of them has a very important thing to do.

Once they are no longer there, they are already stretched out just to deal with the matter in hand.

Although Li Tian didn't directly point out the meaning of asking them to expand their team and plan for the future, but he agreed to let them expand their manpower, which already explained the problem.

For this matter, the four of them naturally agreed with it.

But I just think that Li Tian is afraid that they will be too busy at that time, so he can find helpers for them.

Unexpectedly, Li Tian's big game of chess has actually been quietly laid out.
