At this moment, everyone was a little excited.
They all know how much money the Beidou Chamber of Commerce earned last time Zhao Shu took action, which was almost as much as the tax of Great Qin in a year.
Regarding business matters, they would not doubt Zhao Shu's talent.
Moreover, the Qin Dynasty was about to take over the world, and every official office needed money and food. Naturally, everyone was jealous of money.
"This is not why I called you all here today!"
Zhao Shu saw that the dishes had been served, smiled and said: "Teacher, please have dinner!"
"Master, please!"
At this moment, everyone began to eat, change cups and cups, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. They were all high-level officials of Da Qin, and they all had their own understanding of certain things.
Naturally, we chatted a lot together.
Whether it is discussing the national master, the wonders of the world, or romance, he has rich experience.
After all, whether it was Zhao Shu or Li Si, or Wang Jian, Wei Liao, and Wang Wan, they had traveled to most of the Central Plains.
"Young Master, are you inviting us here for the sake of officialdom?" Putting down the wine cup, Li Si wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said to Zhao Shu.
Li Si knew clearly that Zhao Shu's grand meeting with them must be for state affairs.
Nowadays, the Shangshu Office is newly built, focusing on reforming the official system. Naturally, this can only be done.
"Teacher Mingmei!"
Zhao Shu took a sip of old yellow wine and said to everyone: "The king asked me to take responsibility for this matter, but this matter affects the whole Qin Dynasty!"
"I have some ideas in my mind, but I have no clue, it's all blurry!"
"You are all important ministers of the Qin Dynasty and have broad vision. I think you have many thoughts on this matter, so I would like to ask you to give me some advice!"
After the words fell, Wang Wan looked at Zhao Shu and said, "Young master, you might as well tell me your thoughts on this matter first, and I will add to it later!"
"Strive to find out the deficiencies and improve the official system. After all, it is related to the operation of the Qin Dynasty!"
"What the Prime Minister said is true!"
At this moment, Li Si also nodded, and then said to Zhao Shu: "Master, please tell me your thoughts first!"
"The improvement of an official system does not happen overnight!"
"Today's Shangshu Office is probably just a sign!"
"good!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu did not hesitate, then turned towards the elder under the porch and said: "Let Chen Ping come in and record!"
"promise!"
A moment later, Chen Ping came in a hurry and saluted Zhao Shu: "I have seen the young master!"
"Ping, I have met the prime minister, the state captain, the general, and the history!"
"Um!"
Wang Wan and others nodded, Chen Ping sat down on the small table beside him, then spread out the bamboo slips: "Master, Ping is ready!"
After taking a sip of old rice wine to moisten his throat, Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Everyone, these are just some of my personal opinions. I don't know whether they are correct or not!"
"Please correct me!"
Seeing everyone looking over, Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "I have studied the current imperial system of the Qin Dynasty, and there is quite a bit of indiscriminate responsibilities!"
"Civil and military affairs are in chaos, royal affairs and state affairs are mixed, and some official offices are too bloated and involve too many areas!"
"So, my idea is to separate the responsibilities of official offices, separate royal affairs from state affairs, and split and reorganize some bloated official offices!"
.......
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked solemn. They all knew that among the official offices of the Qin Dynasty, the most bloated ones were the National Palace and the Tingwei Palace.
The heads of these two major government offices are Wang Wan and Li Si.
"At the same time, the establishment of official offices is no longer based on people, but the establishment of official offices to select people!"
Having said this, Zhao Shu looked at Wang Wan and said: "For example, in the future, the government of Great Qin will no longer establish the prime minister and then the prime minister will open the government to establish the government!"
"Rather, the Great Qin State Government will always exist as an institution for governing the country, and the Prime Minister is only the head of the State Government. The State Government does not exist because of the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister exists because of the State Government!"
"At the same time, soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics, and civil servants are not allowed to get involved in the military!"
........
Having said this, Zhao Shu stopped and said to the four of them: "Everyone, these are some of my personal opinions. What do you think?"
“If you have any questions or disagree, you can speak up!”
Li Si and Wang Wan looked at each other, their eyes full of solemnity. Not only was this a reform of the official system, it would also have a huge impact on the current structure of the Qin court.
At the same time, Wei Liao and Wang Jian looked at each other, thinking the same thing in their hearts.
They all knew that it was imperative that soldiers were not allowed to interfere in politics and civil servants were not allowed to be involved in the military. After all, Zhao Shu had resigned from some positions in the military for this reason.
"Young Master, how should we separate the powers?" Wang Wan raised his head, his eyes full of solemnity. He knew in his heart that once implemented, the Qin Dynasty would definitely be in turmoil.
He didn't need to ask Zhao Shu clearly.
“Each government agency has a single function and authority and each does its own thing!”
Zhao Shu took a sip of old rice wine and said word by word: "Just like a pedestrian stop!"
"The current pedestrian office is not only responsible for diplomatic relations, but also for the relations between various ethnic groups within Daqin!"
"Split a part of the pedestrian station to be responsible for the affairs of various ethnic groups within Daqin. The other part of the diplomatic relations is retained and remains a pedestrian station!"
After taking a sip of Qin wine, Li Si chuckled and said, "It is not difficult to split up and reorganize government offices, but it is just difficult to separate king's affairs from state affairs!"
"How are you prepared?"
"The state affairs are the administration, the king's affairs are the supervisors, and separate agencies are established!"
A look of solemnity flashed across Zhao Shu's eyes, and he turned to Li Si, Wang Wan and others and said, "After all, King Qin's family affairs should be separated from state affairs, and the king's private affairs are the responsibility of each prison district!"
"State affairs are left to each agency to take charge of!"
After taking a sip of Qin wine, Li Si pondered for a moment. Zhao Shu was his student, and this was the first thing Zhao Shu did since he established the Shangshu Office.
As a teacher, he will naturally give his full support!
After thinking about this, he turned to Zhao Shu and said: "According to the idea and framework of the young master, the official offices of Tingwei Mansion should be split up!"
"The power in Tingwei Mansion is too concentrated!"
"In my opinion, we should divide the arrest into two parts based on trial. The Tingwei Office will retain the trial, and a separate department will be established for arrest!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.
They all knew that Li Si also served as a court captain, and doing so was tantamount to dividing Li Si's authority.
But Li Si had already made a decision, and they could only follow it.
At this moment, Wang Wan also spoke and said: "In this case, how do you think the prince will divide the country?"
"The government will not be divided!"
Zhao Shu shook his head, then turned to Wang Wan and said: "The government has a direct agency, the Thirteen Cao, and at the same time, all departments will also be subordinate to the government!"
"The government implements the prime minister's responsibility system!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ci said with a faint tone: "From now on, the heads of government agencies at all levels will serve for a term of five years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms!"
"Since then, the power of the government agencies has greatly increased, and restrictions must be set!"
