The daily life of the villain and the protagonist [Quick Transmigration]

The imperial palace, the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

"Acceptance, narrowly beat His Majesty's son-in-law." Su Yi put down the chess pieces in his hand.

Today he is rarely wearing a crimson toga, with a stone blue shirt inside, a ring pendant made of ruby ​​around his waist, and his hair is tied up with red jade hairpins of the same material, which is more elegant than the light attire in the past Somewhat colorful.

Emperor Liang also put down the chess pieces in his hands, and said with a smile: "You are very patient. After playing chess for an hour, you didn't ask me about the grade that Da Zhongzheng gave you."

The old god Su Yi put away the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one at ease, and said lightly: "It's just that the left and right will not produce top grades." He glanced at Emperor Liang with a smile in his eyes, "Anyway, His Majesty will tell the ministers in the end of."

Emperor Liang pursed his lips, and was more patient than Su Yi. He seemed to have never won once, and said rather boringly: "It's a top-notch grade. Wei Shizhong admires you very much."

Su Yi thought of Wei Shizhong, who frequently posted posts recently and invited him to attend gatherings. It was no surprise that he would give him the highest grade.

He thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, do you know how many people are in the top rank, middle rank, and low rank in this evaluation?"

Emperor Liang had read the evaluation memorials several times and knew the results of the evaluation. He said casually: "This time, there are more than 58 scholars from [-] counties in Daliang and Kyushu participating in the evaluation. Among them, there are more than [-] people from the lower three ranks, and more than [-] scholars from the middle and middle ranks. There are more than [-] people in the third rank, and [-] people in the upper rank. There are only three people in the upper rank like you."

There are more than I imagined, and Daliang recruits officials for evaluation every three years, and there are not many positions for officials.Su Yi, who had done his homework in advance, knew that the top rank usually stays in Jian'an and becomes a core official, while the middle and low rank scholars are mostly assigned to the local prefectures and counties as local officials.

Su Yi asked again: "Your Majesty, do you know how many people are there in the nine ranks?"

Impoverished?Emperor Liang was taken aback, frowned, and thought about it carefully. Fortunately, he has a good memory, and he knew the general idea, "There are no low-ranking scholars in the top-rank, more than a hundred people in the middle-rank, and there are more than a hundred people in the middle-rank..." He opened his eyes wide, "No The gentry are all poor men."

Emperor Liang's heart sank. There are no low-ranking scholars in the top ranks, which means that the core officials of the court are completely controlled by the gentry.

This is class monopoly. The gap between the gentry and the non-gentry is so large, it is like a moat, and the children of poor families can only serve the gentry if they work hard all their lives.

Over the years, Emperor Liang saw very clearly that without the pressure of competition, the gentry became more and more undisciplined. Apart from talking about Taoism, they studied piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, incense, flower arrangement and other so-called elegant things.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer officials in the court who can do things, and nearly half of the official positions have become nominal clean-ups, most of which are not common affairs, and the national treasury has to spend a lot of salary to support these "idle people".

Thinking of this, Emperor Liang fell silent, and he snorted coldly: "Aristocratic family, Shuo Shu!"

Feeling Emperor Liang's emotions, Su Yi knew that he had realized the seriousness of the matter, and the time was right, so he said softly, "I have a plan to relieve your majesty's worries."

Emperor Liang narrowed his eyes and said, "Speak."

Su Yi said: "Your Majesty also knows that half of the people in the court today are vacancies and idle jobs, and the rest, more than half of them are just vain salaries. No one is available, and there is a backlog of political affairs. This is a bad thing, but it is also a good one." breakthrough."

"What your majesty lacks now is talents, who are completely in your majesty's hands, who are dedicated to your majesty and the leader. But now the court is controlled by the family, so your majesty feels restrained everywhere."

"But what if the poor family can be used by His Majesty?" Su Yi asked rhetorically.

Emperor Liang was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it.

While Emperor Liang was thinking, Su Yi continued: "Currently, Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are mainly responsible for government affairs. In the past, in order to curb Zhongshu Province's power, the former emperor changed the original Shizhong Temple into a Became a subordinate province, promoted the servants, and made them have the right to participate in the government by "preparing to ask questions and make up for the shortcomings." But the minister feels that it is still not enough."

Su Yi took out a roll of silk from his sleeve and presented it to Emperor Liang with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is my humble opinion on improving the official system."

Emperor Liang opened the silk book, only to see that there were five words at the beginning—three provinces and six departments. He was immediately attracted and read it quickly.

"Shangshu Province was added to stand side by side with Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province. It is divided into six departments, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials..." Emperor Liang's eyes lit up. The more he looked, The more pleasantly surprised.

The improved official system distributes the cumbersome government affairs, which not only has a clear division of labor, but also facilitates operation and implementation.In this way, the speed at which the imperial court handles government affairs will surely be greatly improved.

"Wonderful!" Emperor Liang read it back and forth two or three times, and said overjoyedly: "I'm afraid that those aristocratic families will not say anything about Yi Zhi's memorial, after all, it is for the benefit of the country and the people. Good strategy, standing up for the country's righteousness."

Su Yi smiled and added: "Besides, more official positions also mean that more concubines and offshoots of aristocratic families have the opportunity to enter the court, and they will not object. But your majesty, this memorial is just the first step .”

"Oh?" Emperor Liang was surprised, "Why did you say that?"

Su Yirao said meaningfully: "After the implementation of the system of three provinces and six ministries, there will be a large number of vacancies in the court, and the family members are far from enough to fill these vacancies."

Emperor Liang was also a quick-witted person, so he thought of the key point in a flash: "You mean, let the children from poor families fill this vacancy?"

Su Yi nodded, "Of course."

Emperor Liang stood up and paced back and forth, organizing his words while thinking, "Promote the poor family's children, but temporarily prevent them from surpassing the rank of the family's sons, from now on..."

Su Yi interjected: "Wait until the poor family's children reach a certain scale, and when the right time comes, the imperial examination system will be introduced. If things go on like this, the poor family will grow into a powerful force in the hands of His Majesty that can fight against the aristocratic family. After all," Su Yi lowered his voice, "The world The family has been suffering for a long time."

"Hahahahahahaha..." Emperor Liang's heart was clear, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said loudly: "Yi Zhi, Yi Zhi, with you, I'm really like a tiger with wings."

He looked at Su Yi with burning eyes, and said, "Then Yi Zhi, you will be the new minister. You are from an aristocratic family, and the future head of the Su family. In the eyes of the eight aristocratic families, you belong to them." , will definitely protect the interests of the aristocratic family."

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice: "Only you sit in this position to paralyze the aristocratic family and make me feel at ease. I want you to help me take care of those poor children, secretly support outstanding talents, and don't be suppressed by the aristocratic people halfway."

"Can it be done?"

Su Yi's expression became serious, he got up, and slowly made a big salute, saying: "I will not let Your Majesty trust you!"

Emperor Liang was overjoyed, he helped Su Yi up himself, and said earnestly: "Yi Zhi, the foundation of the Liang Dynasty, started from my two monarchs and ministers."

[This is the path you chose? 】The old devil suddenly said.

【As a single person, against the aristocratic family, using advanced systems to change this era, I am afraid that in the future, half of the country will be your enemy. 】

Su Yi's face remained unchanged, and he replied in his heart: "Without huge risks, how can there be huge profits."

The corner of his mouth drew a slight arc, "Just look at it, I will definitely leave this world smoothly."

【Then, wait and see. 】

As Su Yi and Emperor Liang expected, the implementation of the system of three provinces and six ministries did not encounter any resistance.

And Su Yi, who proposed the system of three provinces and six ministries, also became Minister of the Book with the strong recommendation of Emperor Liang and the support of the Su family.

Originally, in the early days, several aristocratic families questioned it, thinking that it was against the rules for Su Yi to become a third-rank official as soon as he entered the officialdom.

However, Emperor Liang firmly suppressed Su Yi because he was the one who proposed the system of three provinces and six ministries and knew best. Coupled with the support of Marquis Cheng'an and the Bai family and Xiao family who were related to the Su family, Su Yi finally Take this position firmly.

Su Yi speculated that Marquis Cheng'an must have exchanged unknown benefits with the major families in private, which made them shut up easily.

The preliminary preparations for the Shangshu Province were discussed by the Sangong Jiuqing, the elders of the court and the Emperor Liang. As for Su Yi, he could only listen on the sidelines, and only when an adult had doubts about the official system occasionally, he could step forward to clarify the doubts. .

The final formed Shangshu Province has six departments, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials. Six ministers from the third rank are in charge of the government affairs of the headquarters, and two ministers from the fourth rank are assistants.

At the same time, each department is subdivided into four divisions, a total of 24 divisions. In each division, there are five Langzhong and five Yuanwailang, all of whom are five-rank.

There are so many, there are more than 200 official positions vacant, even if the adults worked hard to fill in all the family members who were evaluated this year, there are still more than 100 vacancies.

In the end, it was Emperor Liang's proposal to transfer more than a hundred people from Zhongpin's poor family. The adults who had no better way had to hold their noses and admit it.

However, the positions reserved for the children of poor families are not high. Most of them are Yuanwailang, and even doctors are rare.

However, Su Yi and Emperor Liang were already very satisfied with this result. After all, reform did not happen overnight and had to be implemented gradually.

Today is Su Yi's first day officially in the department. Looking at the officials standing in front of him, Su Yi is sitting on the grand master's chair, drinking tea quietly, and listening to his assistant minister's adjutant introducing himself.

As Su Yi expected, the six ministers were divided up by eight families, and many of them were not convinced that he could overwhelm them. They were respectful on the surface, but they were very disdainful in their hearts. Su Yi smiled and dismissed these people. faces are in my heart.

Although all the people present were wearing the same official uniform, the difference between the poor family and the noble family could be seen at a glance.

Most of the sons of the aristocratic families wear exquisite waistbands, and the cage crowns and jade hairpins on their heads are exquisite and gorgeous. They have been pampered for a long time and have developed a fair complexion. However, due to Daliang's love of beauty, half of them are covered with powder and incense, which makes Su Yi feel a little bit discomfort.

As for the children from poor families, they are much more simple. The hairpins on their heads are mostly made of wood or silver and copper, and their skin is also slightly rough. Su Yi noticed that there were a few people who could even see calluses on their hands when they saluted. Studying, and going to the fields to help the family with some farm work.

The children of the aristocratic family were arrogant, while the children of the poor family were nervous. Su Yi wrote down those children from the poor family who were neither humble nor overbearing when facing him, and kept them for observation.

An hour later, Langzhong and Yuanwailang left one after another, leaving only six ministers and the servants and subordinates.

These are the people Su Yihui often deals with, because Daliang stipulates that only the fourth rank and above can participate in the court meeting, and those below the fourth rank only need to work in their own department on time, and there is no chance to meet the saint. This is why the family is willing to compromise. The reason why children from poor families entered Shangshu Province.

Su Yi had investigated in advance, and the six ministers and twelve servants present were exactly half newcomers and half old.

For example, the ministers of the three important departments of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households are mostly transferred from the Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province. Handed over to a newcomer like himself.

Su Yi stood up, bent down and saluted first, then smiled and said: "Yi Zhi first entered the official career, he was not talented and learned, although he was lucky enough to come up with the system of three provinces and six departments, and under the respect of His Majesty and all the adults in the court, he reluctantly became the minister , but after all, I don’t have enough experience, and I hope that you adults will raise more points in the future.”

Seeing Su Yi's sincere and humble attitude, everyone looked a lot better, and they didn't dare to sit down to receive the gift, and stood up from their seats to return the gift.

The Minister of the Household Department said kindly: "Lord Su, don't underestimate yourself. The three provinces and six departments alone are beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Su Yi knew him as a member of the Xiao family. His aunt married into the Xiao family and was related by marriage. Of course, he was the first to speak up for him.

The Minister of the Ministry of War also stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Lord Su is personally selected by His Majesty and all the lords in the court. We believe in the vision of Your Majesty and all the lords, and we will do our best to help you in the future."

Su Yi also knew this person. His father had specially greeted him. He was his former subordinate.

Someone took the lead, and all the people present were smart people. All of a sudden, everyone praised Su Yi, and the strange atmosphere before was swept away. At least on the surface, they seemed to be harmonious.

After complimenting each other, Su Yi saw that the atmosphere was getting better, so he asked the two servants to carry out a basket of bamboo slips, which was half the height of a person, and placed it in front of him.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Su Yi explained: "The bamboo slips in this bamboo basket are some of my humble opinions on the development of the six books over the years."

He smiled wryly and said: "Presumably all the adults have also heard about it. I was in poor health in my early years and stayed sick for many years."

"At that time, although I knew that time was running out, I never lost my heart to serve the leader."

He caressed the thick stack of bamboo slips, with a complex expression on his face, "In my spare time, I wrote down some of my own opinions at home, and the Three Provinces and Six Departments System was sorted out from these shallow opinions. I thought they might never see the light of day day, but next time, after all, I am not reconciled..."

Hearing that the system of three provinces and six ministries was compiled from it, many people's eyes instantly paid a lot of attention.

This is what Su Yi wanted, and he said solemnly: "Now that the Ministry of Finance has just been established, His Majesty and all the adults in the court are looking at us, looking forward to making some achievements. I will not hide my secrets today, and will not form these things. My humble opinion will serve as a reference for you adults.”

He stood up and handed out rolls of bamboo slips to the hands of the ministers, with a sincere voice, "I hope these simple insights can be helpful to you adults."

There were all talented people present, and after they couldn't wait to open it, they all showed shock.

What kind of immature idea is this?The organization is clear, the order is clear, and the most rare thing is that the operability is extremely high, and it can be taken out casually to produce some results.

And Su Yi shared it so easily.

This is all credit, many people's hearts became hot, and they felt a little grateful to Su Yi.

Su Yi felt the emotions in their hearts, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. This was extracted from his later generations, and some plans that were too radical or not in line with the current social situation were removed, so it was no problem to suppress this group of ancient people.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little lucky. Fortunately, he had always been interested in history back then, and even relied on his photographic memory to finish reading half of the books in the school library, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get these things out today.

Seeing Su Yi's calm and indifferent look, everyone admired him even more.

After thanking each other, they invited Su Yi to visit before leaving, and Su Yi agreed one by one with a smile.

Sending off the last Shangshu, Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally dealt with these arrogant family members.If you don't have enough qualifications, use your strength and talent to convince them.

He looked at the empty side hall and suddenly laughed.

Perhaps, this butterfly of his own can bring about a huge change to Daliang.
