Chapter 515 A gratifying thing
When Wu Qian, the Crown Prince of Wu, was analyzing Li Chenan in the courtyard of Yuelai Inn, when he felt determined to kill Li Chenan, the palace was filled with joy.
The chief minister of the cabinet, Wen Zhuoyu, laughed at the good news delivered by Kuaima.
Cheng Jingting, the minister of the ministry, smiled as if a presbyopia was blooming.
The Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the
The six ministers of the ministers were all relieved, and the long-lost joy appeared on their faces, their eyes full of unconcealed joy!
Wen Zhuoyu stroked his short beard and passed on the good news, saying:
"The regent's battle of winning the more with less in the Five Fanyuan is not only creating a miracle of war, but it has far-reaching significance than the impact of this war itself!"
"After this battle, there will be no major rebellion in our Ningguo country."
"Those sluts who have a disobedient heart will not be able to have the unfaithful intention of damaging the country again."
"Those ministers who were corrupt and unjustly the law... Jiangnandao took advantage of the regent's war and easily won all the officials with conclusive evidence. The Imperial City Department has begun to take action in the other four prefectures. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice also need to be sent out to assist the Imperial City Department in handling the cases of corrupt officials!"
"Next, according to the plan before the Regent left Beijing, all officials who went to Gangnam Road would need to be there within this month... much less than before."
"One of the reason, there are not many officials who can hold great responsibilities, and secondly... the Regent said that he should be a elite military service and simplify government."
"It means that Ningguo's officials from top to bottom no longer need as many as before!"
"When Ji Tai was in power, he made a name to add many yamen, such as the Yumasi, the Foreign Affairs Bureau, the Guanmin Office, etc.."
"The Regent said that these things were completely unnecessary and all of them needed to be removed."
"The reason why the taxes borne by the people of our Ningguo are so heavy is that they have made bad taxes by making clever names in various places, and the second is that there are too many officials who eat imperial grain!"
Speaking of this, the expression on Wen Zhuoyu's face became serious.
He picked up a booklet on the table next to him, opened it, and said:
"In the thousand-year history, during the Chen State, eight thousand people raised an official. By the end of the Tang State, this data became three thousand people raised an official. When our Ning State founded, four thousand people raised an official, but now..."
Wen Zhuoyu raised his head and waved the booklet in his hand:
"Now, our Ningguo is a thousand people who raise one official!"
"Compared with the time of Chen State, the burden on the people has increased seven times!"
"Compared with the founding of Ningguo, the burden on the people has tripled!"
"Compared with the Yue Kingdom today... Yue Kingdom now has two thousand people raising one official, and our people have a full burden of twice as much as theirs!"
"Compared with Wu, the state of Wu is 3,000 people who raise one official, and our people also pay twice as much taxes than them!"
Wen Zhuoyu put down the booklet, looked at the shocked person, and poked the booklet with his fingers:
"This is what the Regent asked the Imperial City Department to count before leaving Kyoto. Even if there are some errors in the data, it will be less than a little different."
"When he showed it to me, I was also shocked, and then I realized that the reform of the administration was imminent!"
Wen Zhuoyu stood up and took two steps:
"Everyone, after comparing these data, I think everyone has a clearer concept!"
"It's shocking!"
"The poverty of the people of Ningguo," he stretched out his hand and pointed upward, "It is not the fault of heaven!"
"It's a disaster for man!"
"This disaster will not be eliminated. No matter how many battles the Regent wins or how many articles he does, it will be useless!"
"How to solve it once and for all?"
Wen Zhuoyu stopped and glanced at everyone, "There is only a top-down reform of the administration!"
"This is the most important thing right now!"
"Simplify all unnecessary institutions and cut off all unnecessary positions. The Regent set the goal for me to be five thousand people to raise an official... You can calculate it yourself, and you should streamline how many useless people from top to bottom!"
"The Ministry of Personnel has started to do this from now on."
"Don't be afraid of encountering resistance!"
"Not even a face!"
"If you value human relationships and worldly affairs, there is nothing in the world that can be accomplished!"
"If the officials eliminated by various departments feel that they are capable... let them all participate in this autumn examination!"
"Ningguo needs a lot of officials!"
"But it must be an official who has the ability, has the ability, can truly think about it and be an official for the people!"
"No matter whether it is age or not, it depends on family background, everyone must rely on their true abilities. Those who are in corpse positions... those who are lying on the credit book of their ancestors are not enterprising... will be eliminated and will never be appointed!"
Wen Zhuoyu took advantage of Li Chen'an's victory in Wufanyuan and convened a senior official in the temple and held an unprecedented meeting.
At this meeting, he expressed the advice Li Chenan gave him before leaving Kyoto in the name of Li Chenan.
Nian Chengfeng was originally extremely worried about this major change in the administration, because the extra yamen that were to be removed from the court were also closely linked to the ministers in the court.
This is a sequelae brought about by the previous official recommendation system.
As a recommendation, people always have selfish intentions.
Besides, those yamen are not important, they do not require much profound knowledge or rich experience in government management.
It seems harmless to be a free agent in those yamen to receive some imperial grain.
But it was in these extra yamen that there were a large number of people who ate free food.
Their offerings also come from the taxes of the people!
Li Chen'an said that to promote industry and commerce, the first thing to do is to solve the complex institutional problems of Ningguo.
That is to offend a large number of ministers, many of which are still people whom Mr. Chunfu once stayed.
I waited until today when I boiled the rain.
He mastered the best time.
"I know this may cause a severity for some people."
"Many of you are the old friends of Mr. Chunfu, and the Regent invited you back to the court to study a prosperous era."
"The Regent is very young!"
"He has the courage! He has enough ability to lead Ningguo to prosperity and strength."
"He hopes that everyone can be in the same mind as him. For the people of Ningguo, they should give up what they should be, and they should break down what they should be... Don't wait for him to come back... Then everyone's face will not look good!"
Just under Wen Zhuoyu's coercion and temptation, this originally difficult thing was silently accepted by the ministers.
After getting off the court, I returned to my leisurely residence.
Nian Chengfeng asked Wen Zhuoyu worriedly:
"If he really takes back the eldest son... will all this effort be in vain?"
Wen Zhui Yu pondered for three breaths and sighed:
"Hey... sometimes, I really hope there is no eldest son!"
Nian Chengfeng looked at Wen Zhuoyu silently and asked again: "That prince of Wu State ignores it?"
"Drag and delay, wait until the Ministry of War to send more fireworks to Wuyaguan."
