What I do most these days is meetings, which are held non-stop, almost non-stop from morning to night.

The main reason is that Li Yuechen is trying her best to move forward with her work, because there will be military exercises after the autumn harvest, and she must go to the site to see it in person.

So when the time comes, matters regarding the Ministry of War will still have to be left to the fourth brother, Li Dan.

In order to prevent him from giving up his job again, Li Yuechen could only arrange the most troublesome work in advance.

…

It's July, and the climate is not much cooler than June. It's extremely hot every day.

Fortunately, the work at the Ministry of War is much simpler now.

Coupled with the activities and help of the secret guards, the situation in the Western Region has become increasingly clear.

Although Yizhou will not participate in this year's exercise, they have a lot of tasks.

After carefully observing the intelligence from the Western Regions, Li Yuechen discussed with other senior officials and staff and decided to ask the Yizhou Military Region to increase their investigation of Tibet.

Since Tubo is now fully engaged in fighting with the Western Regions, there must be some emptiness inside.

So Li Yuechen wanted to take this opportunity to have the investigation team cross the border to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

Since there will be a war sooner or later in the future, it is better to take this opportunity to conduct a detailed investigation of the terrain of Tubo and draw a complete and detailed map.

Then make a sandbox and develop a detailed offensive route map.

When the time comes for a real fight, we can penetrate deeper into the hinterland of Tubo more quickly, which should increase efficiency and reduce casualties at the same time.

This plan was approved by all the staff members, who shouted 666 to express the wisdom of the princess.

At the same time, because the discussion on the provincial system is almost complete, if nothing unexpected happens, implementation can be considered next year.

Of course, in order to deal with various errors that may occur in reality, reform cannot be carried out nationwide immediately, but pilots must be established and then put into trial operation.

In the next few days, after unanimous discussion by the cabinet, it was decided to divide Shandong, Shanxi and Hebei into provincial systems next year, and then start trial operation.

In contrast, the imperial court issued an order to various places to expand enrollment in the autumn semester this year, so that more candidates from various places would go to Beijing at the end of the year to prepare for next spring semester.

It doesn’t need to be too many, just expand one or two places in each place.

After all, after the three provinces are divided, more officials will need to be added, and the court's existing talent reserve may not be sufficient.

In the cabinet, when the meeting was about to end, Zhang Jianzhi suddenly raised his own question.

He pointed to a place on the map and asked: "May I ask, Your Highness, the customs and accents of the people here are closer to here, why should they be classified into Shanxi Province?"

Li Yuechen thought for a while: "It's because the customs and accents are too close, so they have to be separated. People are inherently xenophobic, but being too xenophobic is not conducive to the stability of the country, so they must be divided like this."

"I see, my subordinate understands." Zhang Jianzhi saluted with a smile.

However, such an answer made many other people in the cabinet feel a sinking feeling, secretly saying what a clever method!

In this way, it is equivalent to binding people and regions together, which can indeed avoid a lot of troubles for the country.

However, if you think about it carefully, conflicts often arise within the divided society. Once the provincial system is implemented, it will probably prevent people from uniting even more.

But in fact, Li Yuechen never believed that the clan system was a bad thing.

No matter what happens, it should be viewed from a dialectical perspective.

The clan system actually has its advantages, but it also has huge disadvantages.

In fact, more than a thousand years later, the Western Eight Kingdoms next door still had a system similar to clans.

For example, if you belong to the same clan as the boss of a large group, no matter whether you know each other or have met, basically all the expenses for your schooling will be borne by this boss, and you will also have priority to enter his company after graduation.

Group work.

Of course, if your clan does not have such a big boss, then you can only do your own thing, but clans can also help each other in many small things.

Let’s not talk about other aspects, at least this method of helping each other between people with the same surname still has advantages.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, it is unfair to young people with different surnames.

But then again, how can there be so much absolute fairness in this world?

It can only be said that it is not easy to maintain fairness in terms of the law and the bottom line.

Therefore, Li Yuechen did not intend to completely turn the country into an imaginary utopia.

Just being a little better than other countries is enough.

So it can only be said that on the road to improving the level of civilization, try to gather as many advantages as possible so that this country can become better and better.

In fact, the living standards of the people of the Zhou Dynasty now far exceed those of any dynasty in history.
