Chapter 422 Dong Hu's Reform of the Official System

The iron armor is heavy. Even if it is just a simple piece of iron armor on the front and back, it is equivalent to the weight of leather armor on the whole body. The strength of a woman is much weaker than that of men of the same size. The armor on the body is mainly leather armor. Except for two copper pieces on the chest, Yaowa's female armor is all hardened leather armor, but it is fish scale armor. It is leather armor made of hardened leather, and the weight is slightly heavier than ordinary leather armor.

It was July and the weather was still hot. It was not during the war, and no one wanted to wear armor. I don’t know whether it was because of whether I like wearing armor or to show her status, I ran around in my arms all day long with sweat and sweat all over the place.

After being scolded, if someone else was replaced, he would be more or less restrained and would be replaced by her...

"Bang!"

Two letters were patted on the table, and her actions caused some people in the hall to look up.

"Brother, it was General Xu Huang who sent the news, and... there was also news from Dong Zhonglang!"

Looking at Yaowa's appearance, Dong Huxin shook his head, but still reached out to grab the letter.

The letter sent by Xu Huang was mainly about Han Sui and Ma Teng. The old boy really defected to Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong County. When he saw this, he had a headache. Han Sui was too good at making trouble and convinced Su Gu so easily. Aren’t he afraid of a group of rebels chopping off his dog head?

Han Sui became the magistrate of Mianyang County, Hanzhong County, Ma Teng went south to enter Shu County, and Xu Huang had not received any further news yet. It was estimated that he had defected to Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou.

He held the letter sent by Xu Huang in his hand, frowned for a long time, and then sighed secretly. He was about to get the letter sent by Dong Zhuo, but he looked up but saw a round head in front of his face...

"Have the thousand households in each county been prepared?"

Yaowa, who was originally lying on the desk, was immediately a little distracted after hearing this sentence, and did not dare to lie on the table and stretch his head out.

"That... hasn't been done yet."

Knowing that she hadn't done it well, there were too few people in Liangzhou. Rather than saying Thousand Households, it was better to say it was a hundred house. The reason why he used the "Thousand Households" was because he wanted to train some secret talents in advance, which was a practice of casting more nets.

Seeing her finally bowing her head and being honest, she felt a little funny, and then she picked up the letter from Dong Zhuo...

"Compared with the many generals and officials under our name, the Hehuang Valley has been living in a small place for several years, and its influence among the military, government and civilians has become much smaller. You just walked out of the valley and should be diligent and responsible. Only when you do things well and do beautifully can others not question your abilities!"

"But look at what you look like now, do you look like a long-time messenger?"

He looked up at the big girl who looked down and sighed softly.

"The Jinyiwei is a spy. He not only investigates the enemy's military, political and civil affairs, but also supervises the illegal behavior of his own people. It is a very offensive task. The danger he faces is even greater than that of our general. If he is not cautious and steady enough, it is not uncommon to be assassinated in the street. But do you seem to be cautious and steady? If you still do this, we might as well change people, and you might as well find a good family to marry you..."

"We won't get married!"

Yaowa hesitated for a while and spoke firmly.

"Unless you marry the youngest child!"

It would be fine to mention something else. When she heard the word "marrying", she immediately turned aside and ignored Dong Hu. Even Dong Ning and Dong Jing were holding their little heads, not to mention some officials working in the hall.

Others don’t know what the big girl had happened in front of him, but Dong Hu knew it well. She and her sister were both Mengdu and Meng Wei’s brothers’ sister. Her sister gave birth to a son and a daughter. When Boyu of Beigong sneaked into Jishi Mountain, Yaowa married Bianba, the leader of the Qiang horse bandit. But when a group of horse bandits went to Jincheng Pass, both sisters were abandoned without exception. Once abandoned, it means that the elderly, weak, women and children of Jishi Mountain will eventually starve to death. When he led five thousand cavalry to detour Jishi Mountain, the women and children of Jishi Mountain were already feeding on people.

She was still young back then and had personally experienced the despair of being abandoned. It was normal for Yaowa to have a shadow in her heart, but listening to her words, she had a headache after hearing her unforgettable.

After a while, he didn't see him speak. Yaowa secretly looked up and saw him frowning and staring at the letter...

"That...if you...if you die, we...will be willing to bury you for burial..."

Dong Hu knew that some shadows may last for a lifetime. If they had to be downplayed, they could only use time to slowly fade. It doesn’t matter to marry and marry in this life. In such a position and in such a world, it is nonsense to talk about love, but he still wants to see that all his brothers and sisters around him can have a good home. As for Yaowa’s words of “marrying himself”, he didn’t care at all, but he was still surprised that she would say “bury her forever”.

The leader of the Qiang people used slaves or women to bury them. Even some Han families had such things, but he never thought of such things. There were so few people, and he wanted the old lady to marry and have children. How could he be willing to let living people bury them? But the words of the young man still shocked him...

"Yuan Yu."

Ruan Yu, who was working not far away, heard calling him and hurriedly stood up in front of him.

"Master!"

...

"In the name of the General's Office, a document was issued to the counties and counties. Some bad habits that do not conform to the law are strictly prohibited, especially the bad habits of burying people with their lives, such things are strictly prohibited. If anyone dares to bury people with their lives, we will use his direct nephew to bury them with his family!"

"besides!"

"Official officials in each county must inform the people in the territory, and the Qin and Han laws shall prevail. Each county must have more than a hundred people. It is necessary to ensure that people attend each village, discuss the severity of the Qin and Han laws and regulations, and send the agreements between each county to Ji County."

Dong Hu said solemnly: "We cannot be foolish. The six government offices we set up must at least have supervisors from the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Justice and North and South Punishment Offices. Each law must be reinterpreted, rigorous and meticulous, and there must be no ambiguity that makes people take advantage of loopholes. It must be explained clearly!"

"All the people of Liangzhou re-discuss the severity of the punishments of the Qin and Han dynasties and whether it is suitable for the current era. We cannot simply give us a result of "permit or not". We must have reasons to agree or object. How many people agree and how many people oppose, we must record it carefully."

"This matter cannot be completed in a short period of time, but it is extremely important and will last for two years."

Ruan Yu didn't know why he was suddenly interested in revising the Qin and Han laws. Logically speaking, this was not something he could do at all, but he had no choice. The quasi-rebel lord changed the court system without authorization, and the three ministers and prime ministers became the six ministries cabinets. Although Dong Hu only set up six ministries government offices for the outside world, which was actually similar to the six capitals, Dong Hu re-allocated the positions of the "six capitals" and had a great status.

The improvement was made, such as Daya also served as the chief envoy of the Ministry of Personnel, Yan Zhong also served as the chief envoy of the Ministry of Rites, Ruan Yu as the chief envoy of the Ministry of Revenue, Dong Xiaoyi also served as the envoy of the Minister of War, Han Gu, a poor scholar, served as the envoy of the Minister of Justice, and Lao Nian, who was in charge of iron smelting in Lian County, served as the envoy of the Minister of Works. In addition to the six government offices, six direct general offices were also established, including the Governor's Office of the Five Army, the Jinyiwei North and South Fushi Office, and Liangbing (Monan, Mobei, Taiyuan, Hexi, Plateau, Longyou).

Dong Hu is a quasi-rebel thief recognized by everyone. Whether it is the Luoyang court or the Dong Buyi from above, besides himself, even the person next to him, San Ya also believes that he is a small rebel, so no one opposes him no matter how he is messing around. On the contrary, everyone in the military, government, civil law system supports him and is very supportive of his nonsense.

The Six Ministry of Government Offices are an upgraded version of the "Six Cathedrals" of the Han Dynasty. The three ministers were directly removed by the humble boy. He was not the emperor and was not qualified to fix the "Sthree ministers". However, a cabinet was established, and the head of the Six Ministry of Government Offices served as the cabinet master. One chief minister and two secondary assistants were selected. It is similar to the cabinet system of later generations. On weekdays, the six ministries each took charge of their own and sent their respective requests to the secondary assistant for approval. After the approval was passed, they were sent to the chief assistant for approval. After the chief assistant agreed, they were sent to Dong Hu and stamped with the seal of the general.

The chief assistant must be Da Ya, Yan Zhong and Ruan Yu as the secondary assistant. One was an official who had been in the Han Dynasty's official system for more than ten years, and the other was a young scholar who Dong Hu valued more. The combination of one old and one young was also good, but Yan Zhong is still pacifying the people in Zhangye County and could not leave in a short time, so Ruan Yu was the only one left in the secondary assistant.

The status of the Six Caos has been greatly improved, and officials affiliated with the civil servant system are naturally extremely satisfied. If they are not satisfied, they are also dissatisfied with the qualifications of some officials. It is a matter within the civil servant system, not with the cabinet and the six ministries' government offices.

The military also has many improvements, including the appointments of the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office of the Five Army, the six directly under the General Administration Offices and twenty deputy generals. The military also has a major improvement in its position, and everyone lets him make trouble. Anyway, the official system of the Han Dynasty is like this. The provincial governor can select his own officials by himself. Although a group of people think that the six cabinets are a bit weird, the people from each yamen still instinctively follow the six Caos of the "Gongcang House Military Arts and Skills", no matter what, it is true that the lord and they work in the same hall in the same hall, deliberately improving their status!

Ruan Yu is Cai Yong's favorite disciple. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be a "Imperial Pen" at most. If you want to gain a very high status, don't think about it. However, Dong Hu promoted him from a Jiaojiao to a "Second Assistant" within a year. He was quite grateful to his unreliable lord. He listened to him revising the Qin and Han laws, and he was a little hesitant.

"Lord, can you revise the law... be able to temporarily ease it? The court... will be angry with the lord?"

Ruan Yu's voice lowered a little, Dong Hu frowned slightly, leaned back on the back of the chair, holding his hands together...

"Yuan Yu, what do you think of Qin Fa's strictness?"

"ah?"

Ruan Yu was stunned. Dong Hu looked up at the young man he valued more and smiled.

"Qin prospered because of harsh laws, and also died because of harsh laws."
