Daqin: The beginning of the collapse of the sky, sweeping across the Western Regions

"As for how to select officials, I decided to adopt the imperial examination system! It is divided into civil examination and military examination! Only the best ones will be admitted!"

"The imperial examination is divided into five levels: county examination, child examination, academy examination, provincial examination, joint examination, and palace examination."

"As for the exam questions, they are divided into six subjects: strategy, algorithm, law, agriculture, manufacturing, and current affairs!"

After hearing Ying Tian's words, the breathing of the civil and military officials present became more rapid.

Once Yingtian's policy is implemented, the imperial examination system will become the fairest form of talent selection. It will greatly expand the social level of talent introduction for the country, absorb a large number of people from the middle and lower classes into the ruling class, and promote mobility between different classes.

"What do you think of my idea? Is there anything you need to add? If so, please bring it up now, and then we can discuss and revise it."

After saying this, Mingtian turned his gaze to the civil and military officials sitting on both sides, wanting to see what they had to say.

"Sir, your plan is perfect, but why do you need to test manufacturing and agriculture?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, then Du Ruhui stood up and asked.

"I'll explain this to you later. Now that the national policy has been decided, let's also decide on the administrative structure!"

Ying Tian waved his hand and then threw out the next topic.

"Sir! We think we can continue to use the Qin Dynasty's system of three dukes and nine ministers. After all, your relationship with the Qin State can be described as the same clan and the same origin!"

"And now the system of three dukes and nine ministers is also a good choice for us."

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said.

After hearing what Xun Yu said, Ying Tian frowned.

"No! Although we share the same ancestry as the Qin State, it is not good to blindly follow the old system!"

"At this point, I want to say something to you all! We must have the spirit of innovation and exploration, and not be complacent, always looking at our own little piece of land and only relying on what our predecessors have left behind."

"After all, these things will eventually be eaten up one day! And there will always be people who are better than you! You never know if there are other countries that are better than us! So we must always be humble and learn from others."

Looking at the serious expression on Ying Tian’s face, everyone present took his words to heart.

The reason why Ying Tian brought up this point at this meeting was because he remembered the mysterious operation of Yao Qing in the late period.

They always think that they are the Celestial Empire, with abundant resources, so they keep their doors tightly closed and do not try to understand the outside world.

I was completely unaware of the changes in the world, and by the time I realized it, it was too late.

Afterwards, Queen Xuan of Qi even shouted that she would challenge the generals of eleven countries in a duel, thinking that she was really more powerful than Qin Shihuang. While Qin Shihuang challenged seven countries alone, she could challenge eleven countries alone.

But who knew that in the end he would be beaten so badly that he had to flee from the capital, fearing that he would be caught by these countries and become a prisoner.

It is still early in our era, so if we start with him, we may be able to cultivate a spirit of innovation among future Chinese people.

Even if the dynasty he founded collapsed later, it would be a blessing left for future generations.

"I understand, please rest assured, sir!"

Everyone present responded to Ying Tian's words in unison.

"Okay! I've come to this point, let's get back to the point! If we adopt the system of three dukes and nine ministers, it will be too troublesome."

"So I plan to adopt the three-province and six-department system!"

"The three ministries are the Secretariat, the Ministry of Palace Affairs, and the Ministry of State Affairs; the six ministries are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishments, and the Ministry of Works."

"The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the selection of scholars, the conferment of honors, and the examination and evaluation. It is in charge of the four ministries of Personnel, the Ministry of Conferment, the Ministry of Honors, and the Ministry of Examination and Evaluation."

"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the finances and civil affairs of the country, including land, people, marriage, money, grain, tribute, etc. It has four departments under it: the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Granaries."

"The Ministry of Rites is in charge of ceremonies, sacrifices, and tribute. It has four departments under it: the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Shrines, the Ministry of Food, and the Ministry of Hosts and Guests."

"The Ministry of War is responsible for the selection, examination, and military examination of military officers below the sixth rank, as well as military orders, military records, and military training at the central level, but does not directly lead troops. It has four departments under it: the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Driving, and the Ministry of Treasury."

"The Ministry of Justice is in charge of laws, criminal laws, prisoners and the discussion of state prohibitions. It has four subordinate departments: the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"The Ministry of Works is responsible for civil engineering and water conservancy projects, as well as the national agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery policies, as well as the paper, pens, and ink needed for the work of various government offices. It has four departments under it: the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Military Farms, the Ministry of Fisheries, and the Ministry of Water Resources."

"The heads of the six ministries are called Shangshu, the third rank, and the deputy heads are called Shilang, the fourth rank!"

"In addition to the six ministries, I will also set up the Censorate, the Censorate, and the Supreme Court. These three departments are independent of the six ministries, but they are on the same level as them."

"The Censorate has the power to report rumors; the Censorate has the power to investigate; the Dali Temple has the power to judge!"

Hearing this, everyone present became excited, because they knew that after the governing system was determined, their official positions should be determined.

"Now I appoint Zhuge Liang as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Xun Yu as the Minister of the Chancellery, and Xiao He as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"

"Changsun Wuji was the Minister of Personnel, Cao Shen was the Minister of Revenue, and Kou Zhun was the Minister of Rites."

"Di Renjie was the Minister of Punishment, Yu Qian was the Minister of War, and Fang Xuanling was the Minister of Works"

"Liu Bowen is the Imperial Censor, Fa Zheng is the Minister of the Supreme Court, and Yang Shiqi is the Chief Censor!"

"Here!"

"The rest are assistant ministers, and the departments will discuss it separately when the time comes!"

Upon hearing Ying Tian's appointments, everyone present stood up and bowed respectfully to Ying Tian.

The military officers sitting on the side looked at Ying Tian eagerly, and felt a little lost when they heard him arranging positions for civil servants.

"Okay, you guys stop looking at me here. I'm going to announce your appointment now."

Looking at their gazes directed at him, Ying Tian cursed with a smile, then prepared to read out the appointments of these generals.

"I am now formally establishing the Five Military Commandery to manage all military affairs. The Ministry of War only has the power to recruit and train local troops, government officials, and appoint and dismiss local military officers."

"All garrisons are under the jurisdiction of the Five Military Commandery."

"The Five Military Commandery has five commanders, front, middle, back, left and right!"

"The Five Military Commandery has left and right assistant generals, who are in charge of recruiting, training, and stationing troops; and left and right judges, who are in charge of criminal justice."

"The left and right assistants are in charge of the manufacture of military equipment; the left and right recorders are in charge of military records."

"Now I appoint Han Xin as the commander-in-chief of the front army, Li Jing as the commander-in-chief of the rear army, Guo Ziyi as the commander-in-chief of the center army, Ran Min as the commander-in-chief of the left army, and Yue Fei as the commander-in-chief of the right army!"

"Today's appointment has been finalized. The Five Military Commandery will be built immediately."

"Here!"

The five generals whose names were called by Ying Tian immediately stood up and responded to him after hearing Mingtian's words.

As for the other generals, they did not question his appointment. After all, these five people did have the ability to command and use troops.

Others have more or less some shortcomings in character or ability.

Let these people serve as commanders-in-chief, and the other generals will be convinced.
