Chapter 66 Reform Negotiations
The last great dynasty meeting of the fifth year of the Apocalypse ends at night.
Many ministers and officials returned to their respective residences and began to contribute their wisdom to the upcoming reforms - don’t think about spending the New Year comfortably!
Yang Song himself began to think about it, list all the political systems he knew, and analyze their pros and cons.
The system of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers? The power is too concentrated and the power of the Prime Minister is too huge, which is not conducive to the development of the country; and the scope involved is too small, so many aspects are not managed at all.
The system of three provinces and six ministries is a mature feudal and political system, but it is too feudal and established, and the system is not perfect compared to later generations. This system was established to consolidate the imperial power and has no help in development.
However, the three provinces and six ministries system can still be used as part of it. Besides, the Xia Kingdom now does not have much business to manage. It is good to set up a stance that is conducive to future development.
The most important thing is that the system after the reform must have great development potential. Without this, even a mature system will not be adopted.
On the New Year’s Eve banquet, Yang Song led his family and descendants to attend the year-end banquet for the first time.
"Everyone, everyone will eat and drink tonight. Thank you for your hard work this year." Yang Song raised his glass and whispered: "Come on, I respect you all!"
"I dare not, it is because we ministers who should respect the king for a cup!"
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and I respect you!"
"I respect you, please the Lord!"...
After three cups, Yang Song pointed to the baby sitting beside him in the hand of Xiaolan Xiaojuan and said happily: "Let me introduce you to you, this is the eldest son of the orphan, Yang Xian!"
Xiaolan on the left hugged Yang Xian and followed Yang Song's introduction, stood up and smiled slightly at the ministers and officials present.
"I will meet the eldest son, grandma!" All the ministers stood up and bowed to Xiaolan. They knew Xiaolan and Xiaojuan.
Xiaolan nodded her head lightly as a gift. Yang Song then introduced to the child who was holding Xiaojuan on her right and said, "This is the lonely eldest daughter, Yang Yan!"
Xiaojuan was like Xiaolan, holding the baby, stood up and smiled slightly for the ministers to see him.
"I will meet the eldest princess, second wife!"...
Then at the party, the two babies received a lot of blessings without knowing what was going on.
"I wish the eldest son good health and good health, and the eldest princess good luck and good luck!"
"I wish the eldest son to be extremely intelligent and the eldest princess is as beautiful as an immortal!"...
At the party, Yang Song's two children had completely become the protagonists of the banquet, but Yang Song didn't mind at all. Instead, he was very happy.
The new year will be after the banquet, and the sixth year of the Apocalypse begins with a grand dynasty meeting.
In the Political Consultative Hall, the king and his ministers sat down with each other. From the expressions of everyone, Yang Song knew that everyone must have had good suggestions.
"Everyone, the New Year holiday has passed, I wonder what suggestions do you have about the system?" Yang Song knew that many ministers had not been relaxed during the New Year holiday, and the number of times they went to the library increased significantly.
Without waiting for the ministers to start their suggestions, Yang Song continued: "Before this, Gu must first worship Mr. Liu Ji as Gu's military advisor, give advice and contribute his wisdom to Gu."
Yang Song turned his head and reached out to Liu Ji and Liu Bowen sitting in the front row.
"I thank you for your great kindness. I will definitely devote myself to my whole life until I die!" Liu Bowen immediately stood up and bowed to Yang Song to thank him.
Yang Song nodded and asked Liu Bowen to sit down, and continued, "I will throw away the bricks and jade first, and say a little first."
"The Military Department was established, and the subordinate command and staff bureau, the later protection bureau, the equipment bureau, the political and legal bureau, and then the former administrative department was separated and merged into it. It was directly subordinate to the commander-in-chief." Yang Song said to himself.
He also knew that military matters could only be thought of by himself, and no one else dared to mention them even if he had any ideas.
"The Rear Protection Bureau remains unchanged, and Yang Ren is still the director, responsible for the logistics support of the army's food, ammunition, medical care, etc.."
"The Equipment Bureau is the original Military Industry Bureau, with Luo Yi as the director, responsible for the manufacturing and research and development of military industry and equipment."
"The War Bureau was separated from the Executive Office, Yang Xin was the director, responsible for recruiting soldiers, training soldiers, and mobilizing militias."
Yang Song first explained the responsibilities and changes in the three departments that were originally present.
"The Command and Staff Bureau mainly performs functions such as combat pre-planning, commanding combat, combat mobilization and logistics support, researching and formulating military strategies and military needs, organizing combat capability assessment, organizing and guiding joint training, combat readiness construction and daily combat readiness work."
"The Political and Legal Bureau is divided into two parts. One part is the military court, responsible for the trial of soldiers who violate military discipline and military laws, and the other part is propaganda and education, responsible for the daily propaganda to soldiers, as well as the education of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and cultural knowledge."
Then he explained the two newly added departments, and Yang Song continued: "Li Jing is the command and staff bureau of the Military Department, and he also serves as the deputy director of the Military Department, managing the daily life of the military department on behalf of the orphans."
"Yes, I obey the order, and I will do my best to live up to the great kindness of the emperor!" Li Jing clasped his fists and took the order and said gratefully.
This department was decided in a few words by Yang Song, and even the person in charge accepted his fate, and there was no intention to let the ministers discuss the suggestions.
The supreme commander of the military department must be himself. Others do not trust them, but cannot be able to ease the army.
If Yang Song has a selected heir in the future, he will first grant him the official position of the military department and form a customized inheritance and implement it. Of course, these are his tentative ideas, and if necessary in the future, they can still be changed.
He knew that no matter how well the system was formulated, it would be implemented by people. Even if he planned everything and formulated it perfectly, he would not be sure what it would look like in the future.
"I have to report to the emperor, and I have advice." Li Jing was very grateful to Yang Song for his trust in him after taking on such a high power, so he immediately put forward his own suggestions.
Yang Song raised his hand and signaled: "Tell me!"
"Yes, lord! I will be loyal to you after I am grateful to you." Li Jing clasped his fists and said, "I have some supplements to the military hall established by the lord."
"I think the country's military still lacks an important part, that is, the departments and troops responsible for defending the internal security of the country." Li Jing said everything that delayed without any reservation.
"In addition, a country's military affairs are extremely complex and complex. It is necessary to separate the daily affairs of the army. Otherwise, I can only handle military affairs wholeheartedly and have no time to formulate strategic and other matters."
After hearing Li Jing's suggestions, Yang Song was shocked. He did not expect that there were such major mistakes in the military and some mistakes.
The department and troops responsible for defending national internal security, which Li Jing suggested, were the armed police in the past? This should have been formed. Now Xia Guomin is very determined, which made him forget that there is such a functional department.
But in the future, it may be inevitable that crimes and violations of the law are inevitable. No matter when, there will always be people who want to get something for nothing.
Such a department can also stabilize the territory you just occupied. If all professional soldiers patrol the surroundings, it would be useless.
The most important thing is that this department solves the gap between the military and the civilians. It accepts dual leadership from the local chief executive and the military chief, and is also another form of reserve service.
The separate division of military affairs made Yang Songxin feel even more.
The military affairs he handled in the past were already screened layer by layer, and even this amount of military affairs almost made him too busy. Sometimes, Chen Ping and Changsun Sheng were asked to help with it.
