Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong regained his energy immediately after hearing this. He originally wanted to dictate, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was not easy to dictate, so he simply said, "Let's go to the study."

Xiao Xuexing was also a little curious, not knowing exactly what preparations Xiao Zirong had made, so he nodded happily and followed Xiao Zirong all the way to the study.

After arriving at the study, Xiao Zirong directly took out the documents that had previously set the official system.

Those were two documents, Xiao Zirong put one of them over and said, "This one is for Taoyuan City now, and this one is for the entire official system."

Xiao Xuexing first took a look at the job in Taoyuan City, and had to say, considering Xiao Zirong's age at that time, Xiao Xuexing felt that he was extremely talented.

Not to mention those who have never been in contact with it, even those who have really studied the official system may not be able to make such an official system.

The most important thing is that he can see that this official system is different from what is used now, and it is not the same, but it seems to be a bit vague to say that it is completely different.

After Xiao Xuexing read the setting of Taoyuan City's official system, he put it aside first, and then picked up another document.

As soon as Xiao Xuexing picked up the document, he felt that it was a bit unusual. This document was extremely heavy, and Xiao Zirong's study rarely had such heavy documents.

After all, Taoyuan City is small in scale, and even the collection of archives over the years is not very thick, so this one is very special.

Xiao Xuexing opened it and saw the first picture at first glance.

That is the map of official positions drawn by Xiao Zirong, in order to see more clearly the relationship between the superior and the subordinate of these official positions.

However, this picture is only part of the first page. After Xiao Zirong stretched out his hand to fully unfold the picture, the whole picture almost occupied the entire book case, but it turned out that this picture was folded and put in.

The picture is naturally vertical, Xiao Zirong originally wanted him to hold the document and let Xiao Xuexing look at it a little bit, but Xiao Xuexing didn't want him to do it, so he got up and put the picture on the desk, and turned to look at it by himself.

The picture is very detailed, Xiao Xuexing became more and more frightened the more he looked at it.

Some of the official positions above were names he was familiar with, while others were very unfamiliar, and the further down he went, the more unfamiliar official positions there were.

But no matter how unfamiliar he is, he can see that the logic of this official position system is very strict.

At least because of the relationship between Taoyuan City, he knew the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War, so he followed these three departments and confirmed with the current official positions in Taoyuan City that the official system of Taoyuan City has indeed been streamlined.

Or it's not just simplification, Taoyuan City's official position system is simply rudimentary compared to this picture.

This map only serves as a map, and the management scope of each official position is explained later.

You don't need to look at the Sangong, they basically haven't changed much, and then there is the title.

As for the title... Actually, you don't need to look at it, the reward of the title depends more on the situation of the court at that time.

When the country was first founded, the rewards must have been relatively heavy. After all, we had to share the cake with everyone.

Moreover, the contribution of the founding minister is naturally great, and it should be given a little more benefit.

It will naturally become more and more difficult in the future. After all, there are only so many resources in the country. The heroes of the old brands are occupied, and the newcomers can't get in. Even if the nobles decline due to various reasons every year, they are still not enough.

What really worried Xiao Xuexing was that he didn't find an official position as a prime minister.

The regent does not have... This is normal, the regent is not a regular official position at all.

In other words, a stable regime does not need this official position, and it is a bit dangerous for the court to have such an official position.

But the prime minister didn't... who cares about so many things?

Xiao Xuexing asked, "Where is the prime minister?"

He originally thought it was because Xiao Yan offended Xiao Zirong, so Xiao Zirong directly gave him the position of prime minister. If it was true...he would educate Xiao Zirong.

People and official positions should be viewed separately. I have never heard of an official position being abolished because of bad people.

Changing the prime minister of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was comparable to changing his clothes. It can even be said that his dragon robe may not be changed as quickly as the prime minister, but he did not cancel the position of the prime minister.

Xiao Zirong pointed to one of the official positions and said, "Three grades under Tongzhongshu's sect and Pingzhang affairs under Tongzhongshu's sect are prime ministers."

Xiao Xuexing took a closer look, and was a little suspicious for a moment: "Sanpin?"

This level is not low, but it also depends on which official it corresponds to. The prime minister is the most important official in a country. Most of the affairs of the prime minister, such as reconciling yin and yang, are the affairs of the prime minister. How can it be just a third rank?

Wouldn't the first and second ranks ride wild on the head of the prime minister?

Xiao Zirong explained: "Yes, and there is not only one prime minister. This is to divide the power of the prime minister. Don't you think the power of the prime minister is too great?"

Xiao Xuexing was stunned when he heard that there was more than one prime minister, and he was even more silent when he heard about the separation of powers.

He compared the official guide map, and after a long while said meaningfully: "You are quite courageous."

In this way, the prime minister has done a lot of things that should be done, but he does not have that detached status.

Or it can't be said that there is no status, it's just that there are too many people with the same status, so naturally it doesn't show anything.

At the same time, if there are too many prime ministers, it is inevitable that parties will be split. By then, it will be too late for these prime ministers to fight among themselves, and it is estimated that there will be no threat to the throne.

Looking at it this way, there is some truth to Xiao Zirong's setting, but it is too simple and rough, and it needs careful consideration.

He continued to look down and found that the lower he went, the more detailed the official positions set by Xiao Zirong, covering everything. If we follow this official position system, the official system will become very large.

Xiao Xuexing read such an official document for a long time.

Xiao Zirong sat beside him the whole time, and when he lit the oil lamp, he realized that the moonlight was already rising outside, so he tugged at Xiao Xuexing's sleeve and said, "Brother, it's time for dinner."

The two young eunuchs on the side were already anxious, but they dared not say that they could go to seek help from King Xuancheng in the past, but today King Xuancheng also immersed themselves in it, making them both a little uneasy.

Remind them, for fear that these two will get angry, don't remind them, for fear of being angered.

In particular, King Xuancheng was very nervous about the regent's stomach.

Fortunately, King Xuancheng was the first to react, and they quickly bent down and said: "My Highness, the dinner has been prepared."

Xiao Zirong nodded, turned to look at Xiao Xuexing and found that the other party was still immersed in it, and couldn't help but raise his voice slightly: "Brother, it's time to eat!"

Xiao Xuexing patted his hand and said, "Understood, don't make noise."

Xiao Zirong raised his eyebrows, and directly covered Xiao Xuexing's eyes with his hands.

The two little eunuchs behind Xiao Xuexing were scared to death, who would dare to offend the regent like this on weekdays?

Even King Xuancheng...has never done this before.

The regent generally has a bad temper after being interrupted while doing business, and everyone is still very afraid.

Xiao Xuexing was addicted to watching, so he was naturally angry when his eyes were blocked suddenly, but before he could get angry, Xiao Zirong said: "You still have the nerve to talk about me, this is no better than me, isn't it because I forgot Have a meal."

Xiao Xuexing lost his temper in an instant, hooked the corners of his lips, held Xiao Zirong's wrist while pulling it down and said, "Okay, okay, I understand, let's go."

Only then did Xiao Zirong feel happy, dragged him up and said, "The thing is here and it won't run long, so why rush it for a while?"

Well, with this thing to distract Xiao Xuexing's attention, then he should not be found when he goes to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow, right?

However, he didn't expect that Xiao Xuexing had already watched a lot in the past half a day.

He has always had a good memory. He said that his memory is always easy. Not only does he have a photographic memory, but he can even call up the pictures he has seen at any time and look at them carefully.

After eating, he was not in a hurry to continue watching, but began to let Xiao Zirong explain to him the reasons for some of the official positions.

Because the document was placed in the study, and they were strolling in the yard to digest food when they said this, so after hearing Xiao Xuexing recite the official positions and scope of duties written on the document almost without mistakes, Xiao Zirong The whole person is going to be stupid.

"You...you remember everything?"

Xiao Xuexing looked calm: "I haven't finished the rest yet."

Big brother, big brother, can't afford to be provoked.

Xiao Xuexing looked at Xiao Zirong's surprised face and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of expression is this? Don't you feel the same way?"

Xiao Zirong's intelligence has always impressed Xiao Xuexing, and his perception and memory are the strongest among the young men he has met over the years.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make him and Xiao Xuan want him to inherit the throne.

Xiao Zirong felt a little guilty after hearing this. His memory is not bad, but he can't reach the point of having a photographic memory. He can look like a photographic memory because he has cheats!

He decisively changed the subject and continued to explain to Xiao Xuexing.

Xiao Xuexing listened to his explanation and did not rush to express his opinion, but listened patiently and occasionally asked questions.

The more he listened to it, the more he felt that this bureaucratic system seemed to come from a peaceful and prosperous age, at least it was not something that the current Qi State could create, and it might not even be used.

It can't be said that it can't be used, even if it is used, it must be streamlined like Taoyuan City.

Frankly speaking, the place is not big enough, the population is not large enough, and the situation encountered is not that complicated.

Many of these official positions are not needed at all, Xiao Xuexing pondered for a while after listening.

Xiao Zirong looked at Xiao Xuexing eagerly from the side. He didn't take the initiative to mention it before because he didn't understand whether this official system is suitable for the current Qi State.

An advanced system is definitely useful, but it must be able to adapt to the current environment, otherwise it will only cause a backlash.

Moreover, when Xiao Zirong narrated, he also included a little bit of his own opinion: those who are capable will go up and those who are mediocre will go down.

This is actually somewhat in conflict with the current situation. Even mediocre people from aristocratic families have officials, such as the former governor of Nanyanzhou.

If you are born in a poor family and have no chance, you can only be a commoner for the rest of your life.

Xiao Zirong's idea was a shock to the existing bureaucratic system, but... the rulers would like it.

Although Xiao Xuexing is not a ruler, his status as regent makes him see farther than ordinary officials. It must be useful to scold Xiao Zirong for not hearing Xiao Zirong's views just now, right?

Xiao Xuexing pondered for a while, then turned around and asked suddenly: "Where did you learn this official system?"

Xiao Zirong originally said that he was thirsty and was eating cantaloupe, but was startled by his question, and the cantaloupe in his hand immediately rolled to the ground.
