Chapter 68 Administrative Reform

After Yang Song nodded in agreement, Xun Yu continued to suggest: "I suggest establishing an administrative consultation system."

Explained: "When dealing with a major issue, all directors under the Administration will discuss the solution to the problem and analyze the effectiveness of the handling. It is recommended that you report to the lord after the discussion is made so that the ministers and others can share the worries of the lord."

Yang Song nodded secretly, which was equivalent to turning the group of people under the Executive Office into his administrative secretary, with only the right to suggest, but no decision-making power.

Of course, in daily affairs, this system is not required to hold meetings and negotiate, and they can handle it themselves, otherwise what will be done to establish such an administrative system!

"I suggest that diplomatic rights be incorporated into the Executive Office!" Changsun Sheng stood up and suggested at this time.

When Yang Song heard this, he looked at Changsun Sheng in surprise, waiting for his later words.

"Your Majesty, I have no foreign affairs to do in the past few years. At the most, I have trained talents with different languages ​​and inspected all officials on behalf of you." Changsun Sheng bowed and explained to Yang Song.

"According to my estimates, the diplomacy of our country will be almost gone for a long time in the future, so I recommend myself as the Director of the Office of the Executive Directorate."

Yang Song thought about it and found that what Changsun Sheng said was true. With the hostile relationship between Xia State and external forces, there is no need for diplomacy. It would be better if there was no letter of war to the outside world.

Therefore, Yang Song decided to merge the diplomatic position into the Bureau of Literature and rename it "Li", and appointed Changsun Sheng as deputy director of the Executive Department and director of the Bureau of Literature.

This change does not mean that Changsun Sheng will be demoted to use. It will be reduced by half a level at most, but its power is much greater than before.

After Changsun Sheng gave up his gratitude, after taking turns to suggest from the ministers, he discussed and considered it repeatedly, and finally decided on the administrative system after the reform.

Regarding the administrative discussion, most of the people present participated in this time. Unlike just now, it was basically a double act between Yang Song and Li Jing.

At the end of the administrative discussion, it is about the separation, merger and addition of various functional departments.

The Department of Foreign Affairs must have abolished and merged the Government Office and turned it into the Bureau of Lishui; the Bureau of War was assigned to the Military Office; three new main sects were added, namely the Bureau of Lishui, the Bureau of Personnel and the Bureau of Information.

Other functional departments under the administrative department have only made some fine-tuning, as follows:

[Administrative Department: Director Xun Yu, exercises administrative power and implements the administrative consultation system.

Bureau of Rites: Changsun Sheng is also deputy director, responsible for cultural development such as diplomacy, ethics, culture, and rectification of customs.

Household Bureau: Wei Dong, responsible for civil affairs, household registration, population and other aspects of civil affairs.

Health Bureau: Zhou Ze, responsible for civil security disputes such as public security, patrols, and arrests.

Farm Bureau: Fang Qing, responsible for the output of agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry and other industries.

Business Bureau: Feng De, responsible for business management, development and other business aspects.

Bureau of the Officials: Yuan Lin, responsible for the promotion and demotion of officials, political performance assessment, personal assessment and other appointments and demotions of middle and low-level officials.

Post Office: Yuan Kai, responsible for water conservancy, transportation, post stations and other aspects.

Bureau of Industry: Zhang Yu, responsible for industry, engineering, infrastructure and other aspects.

Resources Bureau: Xu Xiake, responsible for the management and development of geographical information, real estate, minerals and other resources.]

There are nine bureaus in the Executive Department, but this is set up in the "Court" where Yang Song, the monarch, is located.

If it is local administration, there are some differences. For example, there is no diplomatic power in culture, and there is more command of the city guards.

After discussing the central administrative system, the next step is the local administrative system.

"Your Majesty, I suggest adding a county level to the existing town level." Xun Yu immediately suggested that he is now the chief minister of the Executive Department and he has the obligation to speak first.

He explained: "The country now has a population of more than 400,000, with one and a half city, nine towns, two passes, two large islands, small islands and villages. The controlled land area is more than 2 million square kilometers, but the actual land used is less than 10,000 square kilometers."

Yang Song was surprised when he heard these numbers. He had never calculated so carefully. He had always calculated only the occupied land area, such as the 500,000 square kilometers of Linhai Basin with a plain of 200,000 square kilometers.

He secretly calculated that since the starting point south of Tianqian Pass was eliminated and the primitive indigenous people in the south were all his peninsula of nearly two million square kilometers. Including the newly occupied Linhai Basin, the Xia Kingdom really owned more than two million land areas.

But he recalled the completely used land, which was based on ten acres per person (in fact, no one can cultivate so much), that is, no one has 0.00667 square kilometers, and only 3,335 square kilometers of land is calculated based on 500,000 people, not only less than ten thousand square kilometers, but even half of this number has not reached!

Xun Yu's statement that less than 10,000 square kilometers is probably because of his predecessor and the monarch Yang Song, and he is quite tactful.

I don't know, but I was shocked when I calculated. During this period, he only had to complete the task and eliminate the hostile forces. He never expected that the territory of Xia State was so large and had been steadily developed for decades.

The ratio of the area owned to the area used is too large. Compared with the land owned, the land used can no longer be described as being wide and sparsely populated. That is a drop in the ocean.

It seems that Xun Yu had also been analyzed through long-term data statistics when making suggestions. Yang Song immediately took a look at these talents.

Of course, the actual area used is different from the area distributed by the people. The Xia Kingdom seen by Yang Song earlier used an area of ​​100,000 square kilometers, which means that the people's range of activities reached 100,000 square kilometers.

Of course, the island is still calculated separately, and the range of activities of the army is not calculated. If these two are included, the land area of ​​Xia State cannot be calculated.

Xun Yu didn't know that in such a short time, Yang Song thought so much, and he continued to suggest: "Your Majesty, I suggest that you keep the distance between towns and spread them, but you can't disperse them too far. Too far is not conducive to management, and too close is not conducive to future development."

"The Linhai Basin is about 1,000 kilometers long from east to west and about 500 kilometers wide from north to south. The Linhai Plain in the basin is more than 500 kilometers long from east to west and more than 300 kilometers wide from north to south. The distance between Shanhaiguan and Tianqianguan is only nearly 400 kilometers. Within this range, there is no Xia people now!"

Xun Yu then said a long list of data, which made some ministers who were not very sensitive to numbers dizzy when they heard it. And Yang Song could only barely form a general concept in his mind.

"Therefore, I suggest that the Xia Kingdom reduce foreign wars in the future, develop existing land first, and at least develop the Linhai plains in the Linhai Basin to ensure stability in the north."

After a long piece of advice, Xun Yu couldn't help but pick up the water cup on the table and drank two sips of water to moisten his voice that was about to smoke.

Yang Song nodded secretly, thinking that he wanted to develop peacefully, but the enemy would not allow it. If the existence of the Dead Warrior Assassin had delayed the enemy during this period, the enemy might have been gathering troops.
