I became the son of Renzong

More importantly, Zhao Xi didn't think he understood the current situation of the country better than the courtiers.

Zhao Xi is not considered an emperor purely grown up and deep in the palace, but compared to these elites in the court, he doesn't think he is better than others.What he is strong on is that he has a thousand years of knowledge.

Similarly, he did not arbitrarily think that the system of later generations is suitable for the current society.

The systems of later generations are advanced, that is for sure, but history has its inevitable development trend, and rote copying of the systems of later generations may not really adapt to today's society.

In line with the national conditions, this is a concept deeply rooted in Zhao Xi's heart.That's why he used this hybrid method of centralization and democracy to implement various policies.

Of course, the core here is the interest.

Fortunately, this era can be regarded as the most enlightened era so far, and it is also an era in which the status of merchants is treated fairly.

Such an environment allowed Zhao Xi to use his benefits to buy people's hearts.

If you want to take it, you must first give it.Zhao Xi deeply believed in this truth.

It takes 30 years to spread out a lot of benefits first, so that the values ​​of the whole society can be changed, and the focus of the whole society can be guided by him, and then the changes caused by the focus of attention can be changed in a roundabout way. disadvantages.

For example, the scholar-official class now seldom focuses on the land.For example, now, the boundary between civil and military has really begun to fade.For example, the current aristocratic family has more and more recognition of Da Song...~

Anyway, Zhao Xi thinks that the current dynasty should be on the right track.

...~

For the first meeting of the cabinet, the first thing to do is to draw up the charter of the court's participation in politics, draw up the mode and process of discussing government affairs, and draw up the daily government affairs communication and communication system of the cabinet.

There are also some new laws and regulations to be announced by the court at the first court meeting.

"It's time for the conscription law to be enforced."

Although the method of military service is no longer the method of military service he advocated, in Wang Anshi's view, the official method of military service comes from his method of military service.

Therefore, after basically confirming those major issues, he mentioned them casually, and also intended to settle them through this cabinet meeting and announce them to the world at the first great court meeting.

According to the current three-level decision-making system, Wang Anshi found that when the future government promotes various new measures, there should be much less elbowing.

In the earlier imperial courts, even if the government agreed to implement any new law, the ministers and workers would yell endlessly, and they could even resist it.

Not to mention forming cliques to disrupt the government.

In the current system, as long as more than half of the cabinet members agree, an edict can be formed, and the official decree should be issued, and the courtiers should be required to implement it.

The supervisory yamen will monitor the progress of local prefectures, counties and counties, and the Ministry of Officials will naturally include it in the evaluation content.

Regardless of whether it is discussing or participating in politics, if you disagree with the new law, you can only react through the channels stipulated by the court according to the effect of the implementation of the new law.

Of course, the effect of the new law will be related to the cabinet that initiated it first.

This freed Wang Anshi from the emotional separation of the Xinfa team.

Wang Anshi did not have the idea of ​​forming cliques and gangs. The reason why he recruited some newcomers was to promote his own ideas and change the status quo of the country.

"What Jiefu said is very true. The Guochao army has not been replaced for more than three years. This is not a good sign. Although the generals are changed every two years, the government's new army management system is more inclined to delegate power to the lieutenants. level one."

"The rapid promotion of the military service law can quickly replenish soldiers, and at the same time disperse and promote those who are capable in the current new army, and improve the military layout of the country and the court."

Han Qi never let down his vigilance against generals.

Although such words are well-founded, the implication is that they are obviously worried about the situation of the army.

Although he admired the officials' ability to win the hearts of the soldiers, after all, he had never really stayed in the martial arts hall.

The ability to let the generals manage the military is also due to the setting of civil servants and the dependence of new armaments on the court.If you want him to trust generals... unless you can rewrite the tens of hundreds of years of history between the previous dynasty and this dynasty.

"Officials, since it's a matter for the cabinet to discuss, it's better to discuss the few issues raised by the officials before the reform of the official system."

"After the imperial court came up with the charter, fortunately, it will be announced at the first meeting of the imperial court."

Fu Bi also felt that this mechanism was very efficient.

Now that Wang Jiefu and Han Qi have brought it up, why not try the cabinet deliberation mechanism.

Not much.One is the law of military service, the other is the establishment of households and the opening up of the movement of people, and the other is the restructuring of the posthouses of the country.

"Officials, the enlisted minister has questions..."

Zhang Fangping has rejuvenated his official career and has been very active in discussing matters.

"The first question is, since the imperial court stipulates that every man of the right age is obliged to serve in the military service of the country, why is the recruitment system voluntary? Why not follow the original civil service system and implement compulsory military service? Can voluntary military service serve the country? Recruit as many troops as you need."

"The second question is whether the military service system will be used as the content of the evaluation of officials in the local prefectures and counties. Will it lead to a forced showdown? Also, what standards will the military service be used to determine the official rank?"

Zhang Fangping really thought hard.

But regarding these issues, even though Zhao Xi had explained it, he was really not worried.

"Andao, the first question should not be a problem. First of all, military service tax reduction and exemption. Farmers are exempted from two taxes, and merchants are reduced from business tax. This is a temptation in itself."

"Secondly, the current treatment of the new army of the country is still attractive to most of the people. In addition, after the service period expires, the court will arrange the soldiers from the state-run temple to the corresponding soldiers according to their performance. Workshop work, which is even more attractive. There is also the opportunity to be promoted in the army."

"As for the military service of scholars, my preliminary opinion is that first, Fan Jiangwutang will receive training, and according to his ability shown in the lecture hall, he will be assigned a civilian or military position in the army as appropriate."

"The opinion will be issued by the lecture hall! In addition, it should be the most critical point. My final vision is: the future civic officials will be directly promoted from the army, and will no longer be transferred from civil servants. Scholars will serve in the military. Focus on Wen Zuoguan..."

I knew that the official's idea would not be that simple.

When Zhao Xi made his intentions clear, even the cabinet members couldn't help but wonder if their own nephews had such seedlings.

The civil servants along the way entered the government, and the civil servants stationed at the first level of the government were at worst to participate in politics. This was even more attractive to scholars than examinations.

This is another amazing move.

Chapter 609

To give scholars a future in the army is one of Zhao Xi's two moves to gradually downplay civil and military affairs.

The first item is to increase the number of civil servants in the number of political discussions, and the second item is what I want to talk about today... from the conscription system to promote the integration of civil and military.

The country's emphasis on culture over military affairs is essentially due to the chaos of the previous decades, and it is rooted in fear of generals.

Changing the boundary between civil and military has always been a matter of Zhao Xi's consideration.Zhao Xi also knows that it is difficult to get civil officials to agree with the army emotionally by using political seats to guide civil servants into the army. Going to the political seats is a kind of speculation.

In this way, it is impossible to truly realize the qualitative change of civil servants becoming military generals.The conscription system starts at the grassroots level. Scholars have entered the army for more than ten years or even decades, and when they reach the age when they are eligible to participate in government affairs, it is really impossible to tell whether they are civil servants or generals.

"Officials, if this is the case, where will Dabi be placed? How can we distinguish between civil and military?"

It's strange that Han Qi didn't say that.Zhao Xi is also waiting for someone to refute, and then try this kind of political discussion system.
