The formation of a cabinet requires some high-level talents, and Tian Feng and Zhang Yu are recognized.

Chen Gong had always refused to go out before, but was later pulled by Zhang Yu to teach students, and he fell in love with this job while teaching.

Now, Zhang Yu wants to establish the Ministry of Education, the School of Management, and the management of academics, which is very suitable for Chen Gong to understand the work of graduate students.

It's just that he doesn't know if this Chen Gong is willing to be a leader.

As for Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, they have also confirmed that they will be released, but they don't know how to arrange them.

Zhang Yu changed the entire ecology in one fell swoop, the ancient officials, the county order was the parent official, that is, the county master, the power was concentrated, very large.

Not to mention the county guard, which is not a good thing.

After the departmental system, a lot of power was divided, and a local chief executive had no military power, and then after a lot of power was divided, he could have more energy to study the overall situation.

No matter how Zhang Yu wants to change, two problems cannot be changed, one is that the army is under his absolute control, and the other is that the cabinet and departments are also under his absolute leadership, and the power of the people below is dispersed, but the power in Zhang Yu's hands is concentrated.

Zhang Yu discussed with them for three or four days, and then discussed a prototype.

In the future, refinement and rationalization will be a long-term matter, and the cabinet will slowly improve it.

And Zhang Yu still needs to continue to dig talents.

Mainly Chen Gong and Tian Feng, Tian Feng also said that he wanted to work in the academy at the beginning, and he was unwilling to go out, but now Zhang Yu wants to persuade them.

Zhang Yu specially held a dinner party, specially invited Chen Gong and Tian Feng, and Guo Jia and Zhang Zhao to accompany them, as for the others, there are too many jobs, Zhang Yu doesn't want to arrange so many people.

The dinner was held in the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhang Yu personally greeted them at the door and invited Chen Gong and Tian Feng in.

As soon as he sat down, Chen Gong shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, you are welcoming and having a sumptuous dinner, and it is estimated that you have hit the two of us again." ”

Chen Gong is a smart person and knows Zhang Yu well, so he specially invited the two of them over, and it won't be that he has nothing to do.

Zhang Yu smiled, didn't deny it, and then said, "Let's talk about things when we are full of food and drink first." ”

Of course, Chen Gong will not be polite.

Tian Feng's mentality is also relatively good, and he doesn't feel anything uncomfortable.

After a few people ate for a while, Chen Gong asked, "Lord Wang, you have summoned all the high-ranking officials to Beiping, but what is the big move?" I don't know how many people are inquiring outside, I will inquire from you about some back, I don't know how much it can be sold. ”

"Haha, it's best to sell for money, I'm a poor ghost now, and I want to sell it too."

Several people laughed, Zhang Yu was really a poor ghost, and he spent the money as soon as he got it.

After joking, Zhang Yu said with a simple introduction: "To convene all the officials, it is natural to have a big move, this time I will make changes, mainly to set up a cabinet, and set up more than a dozen departments below, and the departments are in charge..."

"The Ministry of Education, not only managing colleges at all levels, but also managing academics, science and technology, etc., is very important, and there are only two of them in this position." Zhang Yu said to Chen Gong and Tian Feng.

Chen Gong also pondered after hearing this, of course he understood the benefits of Zhang Yu's change, which was a control over the local golden step, and it was also an extension of making the decree more convenient.

Chen Gong was more serious than ever, he had been in the academy, although he knew a lot of Zhang Yu's policies, but he didn't have an in-depth understanding, and now when he heard about Zhang Yu's changes, he immediately realized that this could be an important reform in history.

The Han Dynasty still had a lot of sub-feudals, and the kings were distributed to various places, which would lead to chaos in the world, even if there was no sub-feudal, the power of the chief officials at all levels was huge, and the decrees sometimes could not be reached.

But Zhang Yu's change will upend the previous system.

"How? Are Gongtai and Yuan Hao willing to participate in this great cause? ”

Chen Gong smiled bitterly and said: "The literati have a good name, and I am no exception, the prince is so generous, it is really difficult to refuse." ”

Tian Feng has been in Youzhou for a while, and his mentality has long been slowly changing.

He has a deep understanding of Youzhou and Zhang Yu, and recognizes a lot of things, so he will not have so much resistance to Zhang Yu.

"Alas, I'm afraid old decay is not exempt from vulgarity." Tian Feng also said.

"My lord, both gentlemen are great talents, and they should not be hung under a certain department, they can be allowed to enter the cabinet, and then they will be mainly responsible for education or other directions."

This is the so-called leader in charge, and Zhang Yu immediately agreed.

In this way, Zhang Yu's cabinet members are temporarily determined, mainly seven people, Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao, Xi Zhicai, Gu Yong, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu and Chen Gong.

These seven people are all heavyweights, knowledgeable, and more importantly, experienced.

It is difficult to estimate how much of a role these seven-member cabinet will have for Zhang Yu.

After getting the two of them, Zhang Yu went to ask for the next day, so Zhang Yu held the first meeting of the cabinet that night.

"In addition to announcing the formal formation of the cabinet, there is also a major issue for convening this meeting, which is the direction of our next expansion."

Zhang Yu announced that the cabinet was officially established, and all future decrees would come from the cabinet, of course, he could also directly give orders to the subordinates.

There is a cabinet, and there are seven people, and it needs to be approved by multiple votes, so it will not be controlled by one person.

Zhang Yu will not let someone hold a certain position all the time.

After the announcement, Zhang Yu said, "Where is the direction of our attack next?" Jizhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou or Jiangdong? ”

There are so many places that Zhang Yu can attack, and now there are only these places that are linked to Zhang Yu.

The seven cabinet members began to deliberate.

Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong discussed first, and then Zhang Zhao got up and reported: "Lord, in terms of finance, at the limit, we can support a large-scale battle, but please control it, without affecting or reducing the impact, it is advisable to use 500,000 troops, and it is better to not exceed half a year during the war, so that we can maintain development, otherwise we can only go backwards." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, and then let the others discuss.

Zhang Yu took out a detailed military map, which could reflect the geographical features of the entire China.

Among them, Chen Gong, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu saw it for the first time and were very shocked.

It turned out that the continent they lived on was like this.

"My lord, my subordinates suggest attacking the eastern part of Yuzhou, or Poyang Lake in Jiangdong, or Jizhou." Xi Zhicai suggested.

Attacking Yanzhou, then it will be subject to Cao Cao's fierce reaction, and the same is true for attacking the hinterland of Yuzhou, then after elimination, the remaining places will be very limited.

Several people continued to discuss and analyze various situations.

In the end, Guo Jia said: "My lord, after several discussions with us, we can attack Jizhou at the same time, feint to attack Yuzhou, and the area around Poyang Lake in the east of the Lord's Jiangdong. ”
