Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 3 Chapter 68: Administrative reform

   After Yang Song nodded in agreement, Xun Yu went on to suggest: "The minister proposes to establish an administrative consultation system."

Explained: "When dealing with a major issue, all the directors under the Executive Office will negotiate together, and after discussing the solution to the problem, analysis of the effectiveness of the treatment, and suggestions, etc., they will report to the emperor so that the ministers can be the emperor. Share your worries."

   Yang Song nodded secretly, which is equivalent to turning the group of people under the administrative office into his administrative secretarial department, which only has the right to make suggestions, not the right to make decisions.

  Of course, in daily affairs, they don’t need this system for meetings and consultations, and they can deal with it by themselves, otherwise, what about establishing such an administrative system!

   "The minister proposes to incorporate diplomatic power into the Executive Office!" Chang Sun Sheng stood up and suggested at this time.

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

   "Your Majesty, the ministers have had nothing to do with foreign affairs in the past few years. Instead, they have done the most to train foreign language talents and inspect hundreds of officials on behalf of the prince." Changsun Sheng bowed his hand and explained to Yang Song.

   "The minister estimates that for a long period of time in the future, there will be almost no foreign affairs in the country. Therefore, the minister recommends himself as the post of director of the administrative department."

   Yang Song thought for a while, what Changsun Sheng said is really the reason, based on the hostile relationship between Xia State and external forces, where diplomacy is needed, it would be good if there is no war statement issued to the outside world.

   So Yang Song decided to merge the post of diplomacy into the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and renamed it "Li", and appointed Chang Sun Sheng as the Deputy Director of the Administrative Department and Director of the Ceremony Bureau.

   Such a change does not mean that Changsun Sheng is downgraded. At most, it is down to half a level, but the power is much greater than the original.

   After Changsun Sheng Xie En took the seat, after the ministers’ recommendations, combined with repeated deliberations and considerations, the administrative system after the reform was finally decided.

   Regarding the administrative deliberations, most of the people present were involved this time. Unlike just now, they were basically the double reels of Yang Song and Li Jing.

  The final administrative discussion is about the separation, merger, and addition of various functional departments.

   The Department of Foreign Affairs must be abolished and merged into the Bureau of Etiquette; the Bureau of War was divided into the Department of Military Affairs; three new branches were added, namely the Bureau of Etiquette, the Bureau of Officials, and the Bureau of Resources.

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

  【Administrative Office: Director Xun Yu, exercise administrative power. Implement an administrative consultation system.

   Etiquette Bureau: Chang Sun Sheng and Deputy Director, responsible for cultural development such as diplomacy, etiquette, culture, and rectification of customs.

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

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

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

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

   Officer Bureau: Yuan Lin, responsible for the promotion and demotion of officials, performance evaluation, personal evaluation, and other middle and low-level officials' appointment and demotion.

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

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

   Capital Bureau: Xu Xiake, responsible for the management and development of geographic information, real estate, minerals and other resources. 】

   There are a total of nine bureaus in the administrative hall, but this is how it was set up in the "imperial court" where the monarch Yang Song is.

   If it is a local administration, there are some differences. For example, there is no diplomatic power in culture, and half of the military command power of the city guard is added.

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

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

He explained: "The country now has a population of more than 400,000 people, with one and a half cities, nine towns, two passes, two large islands, and dozens of small islands and villages. The land area under control has reached even more. Over two million square kilometers, the actual land used is less than 10,000 square kilometers."

When Yang Song heard these figures, he was very surprised. He had never calculated it so carefully. He had always calculated only the occupied land area, such as 200,000 square meters of the 500,000 square kilometers Linhai Basin. Kilometers of plains.

   He calculated it secretly. The starting place south of Tianchuan Pass has been wiped out and driven away from the primitive natives in the south. The peninsula covering nearly two million square kilometers is all his own. Even the Linhai Basin that has just been occupied, Xia Guo really owns it. It has a land area of ​​more than two million.

But he recalled the land that was completely used. It was 10 acres per person (in fact, no one could cultivate so much), that is, no one was 0.00667 square kilometers. If calculated by 500,000 people, it was only three thousand and three. One hundred and thirty-five square kilometers of land, more than less than 10,000 square kilometers, has not even reached half of this number!

  Xunyu's statement that it is less than 10,000 square kilometers is probably based on the predecessor and Yang Song, the monarch, and it is still relatively euphemistic.

   I don’t know, I was taken aback. During this period of time, he only had to complete the task and wipe out the hostile forces. He didn't expect that Xia Kingdom's territory was already so big, enough to develop steadily for decades.

   The ratio of the area of ​​ownership to the area of ​​use is too large. Compared with the land owned, the land used can no longer be described by the vastness of the land and the sparse population.

   It seems that when Xun Yu made recommendations, he had also gone through long-term statistical analysis of data. Yang Song immediately took a higher look at these great talents.

   Of course, the actual area used is different from the area distributed by the people. The Xia country that Yang Song saw earlier used an area of ​​100,000 square kilometers, which means that the people’s activity range has reached 100,000 square kilometers.

Of course, the islands are calculated separately, and the army’s range of activities is not calculated. If these two are included, Xia’s land area can’t be calculated~www.wuxiaspot.com~Xun Yu didn’t know that in such a short time, Yang After thinking about so much, he continued to suggest: "Your Majesty, the minister suggested to spread the distance between the towns and spread them, but they should not be spread too far. Too far is not good for management, and too close is not good for the future. development of."

"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 Tianhouguan is only nearly 400 kilometers. Within this range, there is no Xia country citizen now!"

   Xunyu then came out with a long list of data, making the ministers who are not very sensitive to numbers dizzy. And Yang Song could barely form a general concept in his mind.

   "Therefore, the minister suggested that Xia State should reduce foreign wars in the future and develop the existing land first. At least the Linhai Plain in the Linhai Basin should be developed first to ensure the stability of the north."

   After a long suggestion, Xun Yu couldn't help holding up the water glass on the table and drank two sips of water to moisturize his smoking throat.

   Yang Song nodded secretly, thinking that he wanted peaceful development, but the enemy did not allow it. If it hadn't been for the presence of dead assassins to hold back the enemy during this period, the enemy might have been gathering forces.

   It seems that it is necessary to think of a way to prevent the enemy from coming to invade Xia Guo again in a short period of time.
