Chapter 1031: Praise and Kill

Wang Gui asked a key question: "At what age do you become enlightened?"

Cai Que said: "Five or six years old."

Wang Gui shook his head: "It's difficult. It may be feasible in big cities and states, but it's difficult in remote small counties."

Cai Que said: "It is indeed difficult, so this is a requirement for Chiwang and above."

"As for remote areas, the right way is to first provide food and clothing."

Wang Gui thought for a while and sighed: "Neizang is rich now and can afford such a huge expense. There are actually schools in various places, but they have fallen into disrepair or have been used for other purposes. They need to be renovated.

, This is also the century-old plan of the Song Dynasty. You and I, the scholar-bureaucrats, are absolutely unstoppable."

Cai Que said: "In addition to the charity fund, there are two big sheep, Sitong Company and Huangsong Bank, who are willing to donate to build some schools, bear part of the funds, and also solve the placement problem of some graduates."

Wang Gui was very happy: "That's not bad. To reduce the difficulty of the two governments, we can find a few expenses to squeeze in, and we are too lazy to litigate with the third division."

Cai Que said quietly: "But they have a condition - basic arithmetic, basic physics, basic chemistry, and physical exercise must be included in their studies."

Wang Gui's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately wanted to stop it, but he immediately realized that it was impossible.

Sure enough, I heard Cai Que say: "Their reasons are also very good. To place students, they must meet the employee requirements of the firm and the bank and pass their entry assessment."

"Many workshops of firms require proficiency in physics and chemistry; many semicolons in banks require proficiency in mathematics. Therefore, only by incorporating these studies can the talents who will come out in the future be absorbed, otherwise they will not meet their employment standards."

Wang Gui sighed and said: "Let's do it. In the end, not everyone can become a scholar-official. If you think about it, you will not go to a school like this if you are a scholar-official. Anyway, it can be regarded as relieving the country's worries."

Cai Que said: "Your Majesty's second major task is to establish six censors and expand the power of the Yushitai - in the case of official affairs in the capital, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Eastern and Western Courtyards, and the Third Class Courtyard will be subordinated to the Censor; the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Third Division.

and Sinong Temple, etc. are under the Hucha; the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Senxing Yuan, etc. are under the Punishment Inspector; the Ministry of War, Wushu, etc. are under the Military Inspector; the Ministry of Rites, Ancestral Temple, Taichang Temple, etc. are under the Rite Inspector; the Shaofu, General, etc.

Under the supervision of the Work Inspector."

"On the outer road, from the transportation department to counties, military, and prisons, we set up capital prosecutors and prosecutors to clarify the establishment, solve some redundant staff problems, and full-time check whether officials are corrupt or not."

"Moreover, for their appointments, except for the Yushitai official who is directly responsible to His Majesty, his subordinates are not subject to the constraints of other officials and are directly responsible to the superior procuratorate and the procuratorate."

Wang Gui said with disdain: "Isn't this just changing the soup without changing the medicine? In the end, it's not like the officials can protect each other?"

Cai Que said: "It's quite different. It took me a few days to figure out this move. It's a wonderful move."

Wang Gui asked: "Why?"

Cai Que said: "This is the difference between taking a shortcut and taking a long way. Local governments need the tolerance of the local prosecutors. It is not possible to open up local governments. At least they have to open up the upper level, or even two levels. As for you, my husband, you are willing to do it.

Does the governor of a certain state talk about Yushitai?"

Wang Gui understood that in the past, when the governor of a state had to deal with the prefectural general prosecutor, the matter would be over, but now he had to deal with the road-level prosecutors, and even to deal with himself, and the price he had to pay was completely different from that of the original general judge of his own subordinates.

If the cost of crime is too high, criminal behavior will naturally be curbed.

Seemingly simply listing the supervisory power separately and moving it up one level invisibly creates a longer loop for bribery and greatly increases the cost of crime.

Unless someone has an insight into the shortcomings of officialdom, they would never be able to come up with such wonderful checks and balances.

Wang Gui couldn't help but be in awe: "Your Majesty came up with all this?"

Cai Que felt very tired. This person finally thought of the idea, but he still didn't get to the point: "Your Majesty's several edicts at the beginning of this year are generally like this. They seem plain, but in fact they have deep meanings."

"This is very different from the bright spears and halberds used by Mr. Anshi when he was in power, and the arbitrary actions of Qiangang after Mr. Wang passed away. The methods are very different. Could it be that Mr. Anshi thinks that His Majesty has suddenly had an epiphany?"

Wang Gui reacted suddenly: "Your Majesty, there is an expert behind you to give guidance."

After saying that, he exclaimed in a low voice: "Su Mingrun? How can this kid have ears?!"

Cai Que smiled meaningfully: "Or is there someone else?"

Wang Gui stood up and took a few steps back and forth in the study: "This..."

Cai Que cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty asked the Prime Minister to recommend the revision of the history of the two dynasties. The purpose is already clear."

"If the system of prime ministers and assistants is to be restored to the size of the three provinces in the Tang Dynasty, it can only be done by having the minister on the left, and the servant on the right as the prime minister. The servant on the left is also the minister under the sect, performing the duties of the minister, and the servant on the right is also the minister of the secretary, and the minister .”

"Involved in political affairs, he was renamed as the Minister of Zhongshu, the Minister of the Secretariat, and the Minister of the Left and Right."

"Then the edict was taken from the Zhongshu, followed by the disciples, and the minister implemented it. This completed the first step."

"As the saying goes, if you have a clear plan and don't worry about things, if you take the first step, you will never be able to turn back. You will have everything explained to me, both above and below. Your Majesty relies on you, and it goes without saying."

"I want to come to Su Fengchang's side, and the idea is the same. Sir, you have to hurry up."

Wang Gui was also familiar with the laws and regulations and knew that what Cai Que said was correct.

Although this move is actually suspected of interfering with Su Song's power, he is the prime minister. If His Majesty wants to change the system, the first person to change is himself.

As one of the three ministers, of course, one must be a vanguard and not leave the impression of being disobedient and uncooperative.

Therefore, this merit has to be snatched up or down, not to mention that I am the official appointed by His Majesty to promote and specify the official system. It is not without reason: "Determining the official system is easy to say, but personnel placement is difficult."

Cai Que said: "In fact, it's not difficult. There are only a few variables. The senior officials are Su You and Zhang Dun."

"Zhang Dun is also easy to deal with. After all, he is a new member of the political affairs committee. A minister, Youcheng, can accommodate him, but Su You... Your Majesty has issued an edict, but the affairs of Tong Zhongshu's sect are smooth."

Then there are only two pits, one for Shangshu on the left and one for Pushe on the right.

If Wang Gui himself became a Zuopushe and served in the middle, then Su You had to be a right pusher and served in the middle school?

The feeling of the knife touching my back was really unpleasant.

There is no harm without comparison. If Su You is behind several of His Majesty's edicts this year, the harm will be obvious.

Seeing the embarrassment on Wang Gui's face, Cai knew that his goal had been achieved: "Today's dead horse can only be cured by being a living horse."

Wang Gui said: "Be upright and you must have something to consider."

Cai Que said with a smile: "Actually, there is another important step in determining the official system - sending salary."

This is the determination of salary levels. In the past, salary levels were determined by the official system in the "Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty". Now that these positions are to be turned into formal positions, the salary levels must be sorted using another method.

Wang Gui thought for a while: "Then the only way is to change the official rank."

Cai Que nodded: "Exactly."

"To determine the official system in detail, we should promptly formulate the "Jilu Ge", which is a combination of the old systems of the Tang and early Song Dynasties, and the original official opening rituals for three divisions and below are used to replace the original Zhongshu Order for "Jilu".

"Yiguan" is used to determine the official's salary and grade standards, and become a new official with salary."

"The official officials of various departments of the imperial court who were originally sent with salary, starting from the left and right servants, will be in charge of the affairs of the department according to their official titles. If they are consistent with their actual duties, they will become official officials."

The method is simple and easy, but what does this have to do with Su You?

Seeing that Wang Gui was still puzzled, Cai Que said with a smile: "Mr. Sir, please don't forget that Su You's rank is higher than yours, Mr. Anshi. He is even on the same level as Mr. Anshi."

Excellent!

Wang Gui finally understood that if he followed this method, Su You would become a special case among officials!

This kid's current casual official position is a special promotion. If he changes to an official rank, he is too high, too high!

Too much is too little!

Su Da's children's shoes have reached the level of a retired minister. This is called Kun's size, which cannot be contained in one pot!

Cai Que said with a smile: "Xiangong Anshi is now the Duke of Shu. If he succeeds in sending Luge, the feudal state will have to be promoted to another level."

"Similarly, Su You also has to advance from a county prince to a country prince."

Wang Gui is so happy. If this is the case, Su You can only go out like Wen Yanbo and Wang Anshi. Even if he becomes the highest official in one-tenth of the Song Dynasty, as long as his position is not threatened!

Even if Zhao Xu couldn't pass the test, considering balancing the emotions of the officials, it was impossible to put him in the position of prime minister again.

Fame and fortune, titles and positions cannot all be occupied.

To do this would be unfair to the ministers; otherwise, the old and important ministers such as Wang Anshi and Wen Yanbo would be dragged down by Su You and would not be promoted to the country.

The so-called special case, to put it another way, is the target of public criticism. Even if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it!

The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes. According to this method, Su You can say that he will die if he advances, and he will die if he retreats.
