Government Affairs Hall.

Both civil and military ministers were respectful in their expressions, demonstrating Zhao Xu's supreme authority.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhao Xu gave Xiao Guizi a look.

Xiao Guizi understood and immediately called the two little eunuchs serving one side, and ordered the two to follow him with two thick stacks of documents.

When he came to the civil and military ministers, Xiao Guizi sent a book of this article.

The contents of these documents are the same, which is related to the complete restructuring of Dasong from top to bottom after Zhao Xu ascended the throne.

"From today, the position of prime minister will be removed and replaced by the cabinet. The cabinet ministers will be temporarily set at nine, and one cabinet chief will be selected to be in charge of cabinet affairs." Zhao Xu said slowly, "In the future, all the government affairs of the Grand Song will be agreed upon by the cabinet ministers and submitted to me for review."

For Zhao Xu, this restructuring must be in-depth, but it must be appropriately conservative, and must be in line with the characteristics of Dasong's own historical and cultural characteristics and the current historical development stage.

He doesn't know how to pick up people's wisdom and play with Western soil.

For him, the essence of any system lies only in the person who implements it.

If a person is rotten, no matter what system is, it will eventually be bullshit and will be rotten together.

For example, the Jin State, one of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, established the system of three armies and six ministers at the beginning of its founding, is the oldest democratic system.

At that time, the monarch of Jin was called the Void Lord and his rights were restricted.

The state government affairs are led by the Central Army generals in turn, which is equivalent to the prime minister and the six ministers.

This system was advanced and strong at that time, but in the end, it caused a three-way division and left the market sadly.

Since the establishment of the centralized county system of Qin, it has become a leader and eventually unified the six kingdoms, but it has also perished.

But at least the Qin Dynasty once created a brilliant history and made immortal achievements for the ages.

It is precisely because of these lessons that he decided that Da Song was still a centralized country dominated by him, the emperor.

After all, if you are playing in Xitu, you will still develop Dasong if you are fighting each other and dragging your legs?

He didn't want to argue for three or five years over whether to build a bridge.

If this is the case, the Western natives really want to be so happy that they will die of laughter.

Furthermore, his most fundamental purpose is to remove obstacles to the development of industries such as technology, education, industry, commerce, and agriculture through reform, rather than to put a tight curse on himself.

Thinking of this, he continued, "After the establishment of the cabinet, the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, Ministry of War, Ministry of Personnel, and Ministry of Justice will be abolished. The Ministry of Rites will be directly abolished, the Ministry of Revenue will be renamed the Finance Department, the Minister of Revenue will be renamed the Finance Department, the Ministry of Revenue will be renamed the Construction Department, the Minister of the Shangshu will be renamed the Construction Department, the Ministry of Personnel will be renamed the Human Resources Department, the Minister of Personnel will be renamed the Human Resources Department, the Ministry of Justice will be renamed the Law Department, and the Secretary of the Shangshu will be renamed the Law Minister." Zhao Xu said slowly, he did not mention the Ministry of War, because the Ministry of War will discuss it together with military affairs.

After such a restructuring, the six former departments, which had a very high status, would have similar status to the Business Department under Yang He, the Industrial Department under Chen Xu, and the Foreign Affairs Department under Dong An.

Of course, Yang He and others' head positions also changed during this restructuring, namely the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

After announcing the restructuring of the core institutions of the court, Zhao Xu talked about the restructuring of prefectures and counties. "In addition, from today on, the Dasong prefectures will be renamed to provinces, and the provincial governors will be renamed to provincial governors, and the titles of county magistrates and county magistrates will still be retained."

The word province evolved from the central organization of the Tang Dynasty, the Secretariat.

He abolished the state and established the province to further erase the bad customs that the state had once governed the world.

After pausing, he continued, "At the same time, deepen the system of county magistrates, county magistrates, provincial governors only take charge of government affairs, criminal responsibility judgments are held by supervisory bodies at all levels, and thieves are arrested and public security are carried out by Wuhou at all levels, strengthen the functions of the six Caos and rename them..."

The civil and military ministers in the hall held their breath and concentrated, but Zhao Xu's loud voice was only heard.

There are many contents about the restructuring of provinces, counties and counties. Just like the abolition of the Ministry of Rites, he also abolished the unnecessary institutions, such as the Li Cao among the Six Caos.

However, some additions have been made, such as those targeting agriculture, industry and commercial institutions.

In fact, the court institutions are basically reduced and moved to various provinces, counties and counties.

This is called sparrows, although they are small, they are all well-organized, and this is also a common method for all countries.

Regarding the government affairs part, Zhao Xu read about it for about half an hour and drank tea three times.

But even so, the content is only brief, and the specific content is still on thick documents.

"These reforms are related to the national system, but I also want to make some reforms to the customs of the people of Dasong." Zhao Xu smiled, "For example, in the future, the people of the world do not kneel when they see officials, and they just need to bow and salute. Of course, there is no need to kneel when they see me." Zhao Xu said.

Bowing means bowing and bowing. He thinks that the way to perform rituals is good, and there is no need to change to modern etiquette such as handshakes, which can also avoid skin contact and infect diseases.

Not kneeling is to blur the harsh custom of hierarchy.

Regarding government affairs, Zhao Xu cleared his throat and looked at Chang Wei and other military generals.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "For the army, I have decided to formally establish the Army, Navy, Air Force, Army and Navy. The Air Force will temporarily be composed of hot air balloons and airships that will be included in the order. The Air Force will further develop in the future."

"On the basis of the three armies, the Defense Department will be established to lead the three armies, and I will be the Minister of the Defense Department at the same time. At the same time, the Defense Department will have a General Staff Department, which will be directly restructured by the Ministry of War."

The functions of the staff include battlefield logistics, formulating combat plans and other matters, which are consistent with the previous responsibilities of the Ministry of War.

Therefore, Zhao Xu simply transformed the Ministry of War into the General Staff Department.

"The Minister of Defense has a general of the three armies, and the general has a commander (army commander), commander (delegation commander), lieutenant (brigade commander), battalion commander, chief commander (corporal commander), small flag (platoon commander), and team leader (squad leader)." Zhao Xu said one by one, which is basically the same as before.

After talking for a while, Zhao Xu poured out all the rough things.

Taking a deep breath, he said to everyone, "What I didn't say is all in the documents in your hands. Today I will first establish a candidate for the cabinet, and then the cabinet will promote the reform."

After saying that, he looked at the ministers, "Liu Fu was originally the prime minister, and he will serve as the chief minister of the cabinet in the future. Six of the other eight people will be the former Minister of the Sixth Ministry. These are seven people, and there are two people. I also have candidates, one is Mi Yan and the other is Ma Yuan. How about it?"

"The emperor was wise. Mi Yan was diligent and had outstanding political achievements during his tenure as the Ningjindushi. He was indeed qualified to enter the cabinet. As for Ma Yuan, during his tenure as His Highness, he was also very popular with the people, making a deserted Jinzhou vibrant again." Liu Fu said with a smile.

In fact, the candidate for the cabinet was not decided by Zhao Xu for a moment, but the result he discussed with Zhao Xu.

Now, what he said is just a scene, but there are other reasons for choosing Mi Yan and Ma Yuan.

This relative of the Mi family royal family can balance the Yang family, which is the royal relative.

And the old ministers of Ma Yuan's three dynasties were upright and could act as a stick to hit others in Zhao Xu's hands.

Furthermore, due to insufficient officials in Yanzhou, he absorbed many former Dasong officials into the officialdom, and promoted the source of horses and could also unite people's hearts.

Of course, it can also constrain officials from the Yanzhou lineage on the one hand.

He knew very well that being an emperor was like nature, maintaining ecological balance.
