Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong didn't expect Xiao Xuan to call Xiao Yan and Chai He over.

To be honest, he can still barely understand the words of calling Chai He. Although Shang Shuling's official position is not low, he is definitely not as good as the prime minister. If he really increases the position of prime minister, he is the most likely to get a good one. should agree.

Xiao Yan... Xiao Yan is the prime minister now, how could he be willing to get a few more prime ministers to share his power?

Xiao Zirong glanced at Xiao Xuexing subconsciously, Xiao Xuexing gave him a comforting look, but didn't stop him.

Xiao Zirong reluctantly withdrew Erkang's hand, which was almost stretched out, since Xiao Xuexing did not object, then... let's see.

Xiao Yan and Chai He came very quickly, but when the two of them came over, Xiao Xuan asked someone to put away the document brought by Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong originally thought that Xiao Xuan called the prime minister and Shang Shuling over to discuss the prime minister's affairs.

In the end, Xiao Xuan didn't expect that what Xiao Xuan said would be divided into six parts.

Most of the official responsibilities in Qi now are one person in charge of many things, and the division of responsibilities is not so detailed. Although it has been like this before and now, after seeing the division of responsibilities among the six ministries, Xiao Xuan feels more and more that the current chaos in the government is related to such a situation. Bureaucracy is related.

Xiao Xuan and Chai He didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly attack the official system. Although it was just a finer division of official responsibilities,...how did they suddenly think of this?

Xiao Xuan took a look at Xiao Zirong who was honestly a wallflower sitting at the side and said directly: "I still got the inspiration from Taoyuan City for this matter."

Xiao Xuan and Chai He subconsciously looked at Xiao Zirong, Xiao Zirong reacted and smiled quickly: "All the initial creations in Taoyuan City are definitely not as detailed as my uncle thought."

He doesn't care about the credit for changing the official system, even if it is all credited to Xiao Xuan, so that those who are dissatisfied will find trouble with the emperor instead of fighting him, which is not bad.

Xiao Yan said thoughtfully: "I have studied the situation of Taoyuan City, and it is indeed of reference value."

Chai He asked: "But... if it needs to be subdivided, how should it be divided?"

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Zirong and said, "Run'er, tell me."

Xiao Zirong glanced at Xiao Xuan unexpectedly, hesitated for a while, and then sorted out the language and divided the functions of the six departments into words.

But he didn't understand, why did Xiao Xuan make six films but not three provinces?These two complement each other.

When Xiao Zirong first spoke, Xiao Yan and Chai He were still very calm, and they didn't think that King Xuancheng had any particularly good ideas at all.

Taoyuan City's official position system does seem to be okay, but it's just okay, after all, there are few people and it's rough.

However, following Xiao Zirong's narration, the expressions of the two of them gradually became serious.

After Xiao Zirong finished speaking, Xiao Yan and Chai He didn't speak for a while, as if they were thinking about something.

Xiao Zirong asked a little worriedly: "Do you want me to write it down?"

Chai He shook his head and said, "No need."

Then he asked a few questions, and Xiao Yan followed suit.

Xiao Zirong wondered as he answered, could it be that he can't be an official if he doesn't have a photographic memory these days?

It doesn't matter that Xiao Xuexing has a good memory, why is Xiao Yan and Chai He not bad?Although they didn't memorize all of them, but the two of them are quite old, and it's really beyond Xiao Zirong's expectation to have such a memory.

In fact, Xiao Yan and Chai He naturally have no photographic memory, but the two of them have been immersed in officialdom for many years, and they may not be able to do anything else, but they can quickly grasp matters related to the court and their own interests. important.

They don't need to write down everything Xiao Zirong said, they only need to remember a few key points.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yan still said cautiously: "This matter is of great importance, Your Majesty, please think twice."

Xiao Yan was not very polite when he asked the question just now, Xiao Zirong originally thought he was against it, but unexpectedly Xiao Yan just reminded Xiao Xuan to think twice?

Chai He also nodded slowly and said: "What the prime minister said is true, and there are only six...how about more than six? Hasn't King Xuancheng thought about it?"

Anyone who is familiar with the official system can find that it is wrong. If the existing official position system is adjusted to directly create six departments, who will the corresponding six departments be accounted for?Should the responsibilities of Shang Shuling and the prime minister also be divided?

However, only Shang Shuling and the prime minister don't seem to be enough. If the current Sangong is used to lead the six departments, it always feels like a small horse-drawn cart.

Xiao Zirong didn't look at Xiao Xuan this time, and replied directly and seriously: "I have some ideas about this, but it's not complete. This official system is perfected on the basis of Taoyuan City today, and the officials of Taoyuan City are all my officials now. to be responsible, so I didn’t think about anything else in detail.”

He would not throw out the three provinces rashly. Since Xiao Xuan didn't say it at the beginning, it was because of his concerns. If you don't want to, then you have no inspiration.

This reason is reasonable, Xiao Yan and Chai He didn't say anything.

No matter how big their brains were, they never imagined that Xiao Zirong could come up with a whole set of official position system.

Xiao Xuan asked: "What do you two lovers think?"

Xiao Yan and Chai He looked at each other and said, "It can be tried."

Trial implementation is to try it out first, and then change it back if it doesn't work. Anyway, the rank of the official position has not changed, but there are a few more departments, and then it is not difficult to adjust the things that the officials are responsible for.

Xiao Xuan had a smile on his face: "Then we'll deal with it when we get back."

Xiao Zirong always felt that it was a little too smooth, and when he came back from Xiao Xuan, he was still a little puzzled: "How did they agree so happily?"

It shouldn't be, as far as he knows, any reform will be accompanied by bloody storms, how could it be so smooth?

Xiao Xuexing sat down and took a sip of fruit tea and said, "Why don't you agree? With this change, there will be more official positions."

The more detailed the responsibilities are, the more people are needed. Some functions can be performed concurrently, but some functions cannot be performed at the same time. Therefore, some officials must be re-selected.

This is equivalent to a big cake. As long as the status of Xiao Yan and Chai He is not shaken, of course they are willing. After all, the children of their family are still very competitive.

Only then did Xiao Zirong come to his senses, his thinking was still on taking the exam to get a job, he never thought that those officials would be regarded as their pockets by these people, that's why he agreed so happily.

He turned to look at Xiao Xuexing and asked, "Will it affect you?"

What he originally wanted to ask was whether Xiao Xuexing would be affected, but after thinking about it, he knew that Xiao Xuexing was alone and alone, and it would be a lie to say that he would not be affected.

Xiao Xuexing naturally knew what he meant, and said helplessly, "Why do you always think I'm a lonely minister?"

The so-called solitary officials have no party members, do not make friends with other officials, and only serve the emperor.

Xiao Zirong was a little dazed after hearing this: "Ah? Isn't it? I always feel... They don't seem to treat you very well."

Xiao Xuexing put down the teacup in his hand and said: "Since you can write such an official position system, you should know that the higher the level, the fewer people there are, and the higher the status, the less easily attached to others. Instead, those middle-level officials, The real power in their hands is not low, and even because they are close enough to the grassroots, they have more authority than many senior officials, and such talents are worth wooing."

Only then did Xiao Zirong come to his senses. Thinking about it, it was true. With Xiao Xuexing's status, how could someone who could be on an equal footing with him be someone else's little brother to wave the flag.

Each of them has a huge interest group behind them, so it seems that they have a normal relationship with each other. Apart from competing with their own abilities, the rest are subordinates.

Xiao Zirong said with some embarrassment: "I was thinking about it, but I only saw Ling Fu by your side all the time, so..."

Xiao Xuexing didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "Of course Ling Fu wants to follow me, everyone else has their own responsibilities, how could they come to me every day?"

Xiao Zirong thought about it too, Xiao Xuexing must be able to suppress Xiao Yan must have a huge force under his command, but he was a little curious, besides being Xiao Yu's adopted son, Xiao Xuexing also had no family support, why would these people follow Xiao Xuexing?

It is certain that some people in the army will follow Xiao Xuexing, but there is a high probability that those people will not give up their military power, so what about civil servants?How did they gather around Xiao Xuexing?

Although Xiao Zirong didn't ask, Xiao Xuexing still planned to teach Xiao Zirong a lesson.

He said in detail: "These people have requests, I can answer them, and they will naturally stand by my side."

Xiao Zirong tilted his head and asked, "Then why are there so many people following you?"

Xiao Xuexing smiled: "This is what you said before. Those who are capable go up to those who are mediocre, loyal and capable. I will naturally promote him. I know what you are thinking. The prime minister and Shang Shuling have a huge family compared to me. It has an advantage, but have you ever thought that just because the family is huge, they will first think about the children of the family when there is any good thing, and they will only give each other a chance unless the people under them are outstanding, but it is different here, as long as If I have the ability, I can put them in the position.”

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say for a while.

Unexpectedly, not having a family has become an advantage for Xiao Xuexing.

However, he quickly realized: "But... they will promote the family's children because the family has enough cohesion. Here...these people don't matter, can they be united?"

"Then find a way to make them have a relationship, marry, cooperate, why not?"

Xiao Zirong thought about it for a while, and thought it was easy to say, but the result of doing so might be that his subordinates formed a net among themselves, and if Xiao Xuexing was not strong enough, he might be abandoned by these people and start a new job.

He was about to say something, but he heard Ah Yin report outside: "I want to tell the city lord, the cables, lights and lights are all shattered!
