Although Zhang Liang said that Tian Kezhang said that he had a way to urge Qi to join the United Column, Gao Yuan still didn't pay much attention to it, which may be because Tian Kezhang was afraid that Gao Yuan would be disappointed with Qi Guo, so he deliberately said some comforting words, which may not be true.

On the contrary, in the news that the two brought to the plateau, there was a detail that even the two of them did not notice, which made the plateau really happy, that is, in the struggle of the Qi country this time, the merchants of the Qi country played an important role, and gave strong support to the county, which also shows that after several years of business exchanges, the merchants of the county and the country of Qi have established a deep alliance of interests, so as to ensure that the county can continue to exchange a large number of needed materials from the trade of goods in the country of Qi. Even if it is a stalemate with the upper echelons of the Qi State, it will not have much impact. Because the merchants had a huge influence in the Qi Kingdom, some of them had ways to bypass the government and conduct commercial transactions with Daijun.

Of course, there will definitely be some troubles in the process, so it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Qi State for a certain amount, but it is not necessary to force Qi State to form a joint column.

Therefore, Gao Yuan did not want to get too involved in this issue, and said: "I will immediately gather officials to discuss, bring in the detailed date of the king's title, and officially send a letter of state, and send an invitation to the two countries of Qi and Chu, asking them to send envoys to Lingshou to observe the ceremony, and do not rush for a while, first maintain the relationship of the Triple Alliance, and then take your time to talk about the alliance." ”

Although Zhang Liang felt that Gao Yuan's attitude towards Hezong was a little dissipated, but Gao Yuan said it at this time, and he had no choice but to nod yes, and in fact, Hezong did encounter great resistance in Qi State, and it was difficult to make any big breakthroughs in a short period of time, in fact, Zhang Liang didn't think that Tian Kezhang could have any good way to urge Qi Wangjian to change his mind and join Hezong.

At this time, Gao Yuan said: "Now we have exhausted all the places except Liaodong, and have recovered nearly half of the land of Zhao State, and more than a month ago, I have sent Jiang Huanwu to lead the army to the north to collect Liaodong, it is estimated that within a year, we can capture Liaodong and completely eliminate the remnants of Yan State." Now, in terms of land and population, it has expanded several times compared to when I first became the head of Daijun, and the official and military systems established at the beginning are no longer sufficient to manage this vast territory, so I want to formulate a new set of official and military systems. ”

Chun Yubo nodded first, and said: "Wu Anjun is really thoughtful, when Shang Ying changed the law in Qin State, he made a new system for the official titles of Qin State, and only then did Qin State flourish, and now Wu Anjun's power is no longer under Zhao State, the previous official system and military system are indeed out of date, and Wu Anjun is about to call the king, and take the opportunity of Wang Jianguo to formulate a new official system and military system to ensure that the national strength is rich and strong." ”

Zhang Liang also said: "Outside the soil must first be settled, and the discussion of the lord is a long-term solution." ”

Gao Yuan said: "I already have a preliminary idea of the new official position system, please take a look at the two of you, but there are still any imperfections." As he spoke, Gao Yuan picked up a book from the table and handed it to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang took the booklet, opened it to see, and Chun Yubo also held the book in Zhang Liang's hand, watched together, only to see the cover of the book carefully written "cabinet system" three words, it turned out that although it has been seven or eight years since this era, but the brush of the plateau is still difficult to see people, the plateau simply found a few goose feathers, dipped in ink to write, so the font written out are fine and hard, but it has become a unique calligraphy of the plateau.

But after reading a few pages, the faces of the two couldn't help but become a little solemn, Zhang Liang put the book on the table, and the two of them got together and watched it seriously.

Originally, according to the assumption of the plateau, in the future state institutions, the cabinet was the highest administrative body, which directly paid for itself, and a prime minister was appointed to be responsible for the affairs of the cabinet; A sub-prime minister is responsible for assisting the prime minister, and if the prime minister is in charge of cabinet affairs and cannot be in charge of cabinet affairs, he will be represented by the sub-prime minister; In addition, there are three to six cabinet ministers, who are responsible for assisting the prime minister and the prime minister in handling the affairs of the cabinet.

Below the cabinet, there are six departments of officials, households, soldiers, and criminal workers, all of which are in charge of the following affairs:

Officials: in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials, examinations, medals and other matters;

Household Department: in charge of household registration, land, taxes, money and grain, financial revenue and expenditure, etc.;

Ministry of Rites: in charge of etiquette, sacrifices, promotions, schools, etc.;

Military Department: in charge of the selection of military attaches and military administration;

Penal Department: in charge of the administration of justice;

Ministry of Engineering: in charge of various projects, craftsmen, tuntian, water conservancy, transportation and other matters.

Each of the six ministries has a secretary in charge of the affairs of the department, and can participate in the cabinet to deal with the affairs of the department, and one on the left and one to assist the secretary of the council; There are a number of secretaries, and there are sub-departments and departments under each department, and below the secretary, there are director, Gongcao, Dianshi, and Metropolitan Supervisor to manage the affairs of the department.

After the affairs of each region are gathered in the capital, they are sorted out by the corresponding departments of the six ministries, and then submitted to the cabinet, which will consult with the officials of the six ministries to discuss the opinions and methods of handling them, and then submit them to the king for review.

If the king thinks that the opinion of the cabinet is feasible, he will approve it directly, and then send it back to the cabinet for the six ministries to supervise the implementation of the cabinet, and if it is not feasible, the cabinet will be dismissed for reconsideration; And if you can't decide for a while, you can also stay in the middle and think slowly. In addition, when encountering important matters, the king can also directly gather the officials of the cabinet and the six ministries to discuss and decide together, and then the cabinet will report to the king for approval.

Although in the Qing Dynasty, the functions of the cabinet were replaced by the Military Aircraft Department, but the name was different, and its system and operation mode were roughly the same.

In fact, it did take a lot of thinking about the cabinet system of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and finally decided to use the cabinet system of the Ming and Qing dynasties, because in another time and space, there were the most films and television about the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Gao Yuan had seen a little bit and was most familiar with this system; The second is the cabinet system, which is indeed the most perfect political system in ancient China compared to other systems, and even has some similarities with some modern systems. Of course, Takahara would not have implemented any democratic system in this era, so the cabinet system was naturally the best choice.

Chun Yubo and Zhang Liang are one of the most outstanding scholars of this era, and they naturally have a very profound study of the official system of various countries, in general, since the Spring and Autumn Period, the countries have been changing the law at the same time, and they are also constantly carrying out the reform of official positions. The second is to strengthen the power of the monarch and weaken the power of powerful ministers.

In terms of effect, the effect of the former trend is very obvious, and the country that does this more thoroughly is the stronger that country. The latter trend is obviously much worse, because the power of the monarch is strengthened, and the power of the minister is bound to be weakened, but no matter how capable the monarch is, it is impossible to manage a country in all aspects, he must rely on the power of the minister, and he must give the minister the necessary power, and in some special times, he must also give the minister great power. This becomes a self-imposed contradiction.

This contradiction is concentrated in the contradiction between the monarch and the prime minister, because in this era, the power of the prime minister is very great, not only can lead hundreds of officials, but also has the power to open the government to govern affairs, that is, the prime minister can set up an administrative team on his own, appoint government officials, and assist the minister in handling state affairs, the prime minister's office is not only the residence of the prime minister, but also the official affairs of the prime minister, and because all state affairs are handled by the prime minister, the power of the prime minister's office is very great, which is equivalent to a small court. It is very easy to put the monarch in the air and actually control the power of the country.

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the prime minister was not a permanent official position, because the power of the prime minister was too great, and ordinary monarchs did not dare to set up a phase lightly. Moreover, in the early Spring and Autumn Period, there were three or four hundred countries in the world, and the big countries were only 100 miles, China was 70 miles, and small countries were 50 miles. However, in the late Spring and Autumn Period, after a series of annexations, only dozens of countries remained, and at the beginning of the Warring States Period, only more than 20 countries remained, and the territory of the great powers exceeded thousands of miles, or even thousands of miles.

However, after the establishment of the state minister, the monarch was not at ease, and he restrained and guarded against the state minister, and some monarchs frequently replaced the state minister, so as not to let the state minister have a chance to become powerful; There are also monarchs who simply appoint people with mediocre talents and wisdom as ministers of state, and give up people who are truly talented; In order to keep his position, the prime minister often uses the power in his hand to support his cronies, check the party's henchmen, empty the monarch, and expand his own power after taking office.

Therefore, the dispute between the monarch and the prime minister is also the norm of various countries, if you encounter a gentleman who has done something and is open-minded, or a minister of state who has material and good conduct, the relationship between the monarch and the prime minister can be handled a little better, if it is a narrow-minded monarch, or a minister who is greedy for power, it will cause continuous internal friction, and in this era of strife, this internal friction will almost cause very strict consequences.

Relatively speaking, among the countries, the relationship between the monarchs and the prime minister of the Qin State was slightly better, on the one hand, because the Qin State was best handled in the reform of centralized power after the Shang Dynasty reform, and the power of the monarch was relatively large; On the other hand, almost all of the ministers appointed by the Qin State are outsiders, and their own clans, these outsiders are not deeply rooted in the Qin State, and they are controlled by the Qin family, so they cannot pose too much threat to the monarch, on the contrary, they can only rely on the monarch in order to better exercise their power; The monarch also used outsiders as ministers of state to restrict his own family, and the two sides canceled each other out, so that the monarch could hold the main power most of the time.

And there is another reason, is the luck of the Qin State is also good, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State has almost never produced a mediocre and incompetent monarch, because it is the two longest reigning monarchs, King Huiwen and King Zhaoxiang have great talents, so the dispute between the monarchs is generally within the controllable range, but other countries do not have such good luck as the Qin State, and the centralized power is not completely changed, and outsiders cannot be completely trusted, so a lot of national power is consumed in the internal struggle of the monarch.
