After the morning court that day, Li Gang, Zong Ze, Xu Jingheng, Zhao Ren and others went to Chongzheng Hall to discuss matters. Several people reported on the change of the country and the autumn tax to be deposited next year. "Your Majesty, now the Secretariat and the subordinates are in three departments, each supervisor, and the officials of each temple have not decided, and the quota is serious, resulting in the incomplete government orders. Please tell me how to arrange it!" Li Gang handed over a memorial and said.

"There is no appropriate candidate for the Secretary of the Central Secretariat for the time being, so the Secretariat will work harder!" Zhao Qi gave a seat and let everyone sit down and said, "The affairs under the jurisdiction of the Three Divisions can be temporarily entered into the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue; Taichang Temple can be merged into the Ministry of Rites and the Provincial Escort Temple, and the Ministry of Revenue will be merged into the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue will be merged into the Ministry of Works, and the Military Arts Supervision will be merged into the Ministry of War; the candidates of the Imperial College and the Dali Temple will be discussed by the Ministry of Personnel. After you discuss with the Ministry of Personnel, the candidates of Zongzheng Temple will be decided after I discuss with the Emperor!"

"I am honored to you!" Li Gang said politely, feeling secretly happy.

The three provinces left the Secretariat alone, which not only saved the cumbersomeness of document approval and review, but also improved efficiency. The power of the three departments was second only to the Secretariat and the Privy Council, and was known as the "Cizhou Province". The chief was the envoy of the Three Departments and the Deputy Envoy of the Three Departments. The three departments were called "Cizhou". The institutions of the prime minister's finance and work infringed on the former Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Works was in charge of commercial taxes, household taxes, salt, iron and salaries of officials across the country, as well as various construction and construction.

Now, after the five jails of Jiu Temple were conquered during the Yuanfeng period, there were only five jails and three jails left. Although the officials have not said that they have been abolished, they have been retained without setting up any powers and merged into each ministries. In fact, they have become one jail and two temples, enriching the power of the six ministries, so they are the prime minister who has truly held great power.

"Dear officials, now is the beginning of the rejuvenation. There are so many state affairs, so what should we do first?" Zhao Qi asked after a slowdown.

"Your Majesty, Sanyong has troubled this dynasty for many years, so we should first reorganize it!" Li Gang said, and several people in the hall nodded and said yes.

"Well. The three trauma are a matter of a hundred years. Once it is corrected, how should we start?" Zhao Qi asked again, and he saw that the whole story had reached a consensus.

"Your Majesty, governing the country first requires governing officials. You should first reform the official system to benefit the passage of government orders, and work together!" Li Gang replied first.

"Your Majesty thinks cleaning up the three redundant is not a matter of a day or a night. But now there are Jurchens who are eyeing each other, and there are bandits and bandits in the middle, and the three armies are in chaos and orders are difficult to implement. The most urgent task is to clarify the military system and rebuild the imperial guards!" Zong Ze said anxiously.

"Mr. Zong said it is not bad. Now there are more than 20 bandits in western Beijing and Huainan. At least hundreds of people, and at most tens of thousands. They robbed their families and houses, captured states and plundered their palaces, but the local governments were unable to suppress them, resulting in taxes being robbed and grain beings being transported north. Many localities reported that the court would send troops to clear them out!" Zhao Ren also said.

"What the two adults said is true. Now there are heavy troops gathering in the capital. Although each army has been trained, there are still millions of people, mixed with fish and dragons. Things that disturb the people from time to time have occurred, and they also have conflicts with local governments. In addition, the food and salary cost is huge, and the treasury is empty and difficult to maintain for a long time. You should make plans early and take the opportunity to solve the disadvantages of redundant soldiers!" Li Gang added.

"The army is the pillar of the country. Although the Jin army has retreated temporarily, the desire to destroy our Song Dynasty will definitely make a comeback. The imperial guards have collapsed, the wing army has become corrupt and cannot be used. The rural soldiers lack training and equipment. The new army has not completed the reorganization of the army. It is entirely up to the support of the Zhongxing Army. Being tired and running is not a long-term solution!" Xu Jingheng also sighed and said.

"The great disaster of the country is like a new development. This is also a good opportunity to eliminate the accumulated problems and reorganize the dynasty. All the ministers and workers are talented people for a while. If they can make achievements, they will be able to be famous in history. The great task of reviving the Song Dynasty will fall on you!" Seeing that the topic gradually turned to the topic, Zhao Qi stood up and gave them a gift, first giving them a candied date.

"Your Majesty, I dare not, I am willing to do my best!" The emperor bowed to himself. Several of them were immediately shocked and stood up with fear and replied, thinking that after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, all the brothers were quite casual in front of him. Song Taizu once took the premier Fan Zhi to stand up and report to the matter. When Fan Zhi finished his report, he found that there was no seat and was embarrassed to ask for it, so he became a prescribed order. The official gave him a seat, so he would not dare to accept it. However, he was very helpful in his heart.

"Now the political situation in the middle school of China is messy and the government orders are not fulfilled. It is because of the inefficiency of orders. It has reached the point where the country will be destroyed if it remains unchanged!" Zhao Qi suppressed his hand and asked everyone to sit down and said, "I also know that this matter is serious and has great resistance, but we shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Song Dynasty and benefiting the people. Even if there is a sea of ​​swords and fire in front of us, we can't care!"

"Your Majesty has such ambition. I am willing to follow Your Majesty, even if it is broken!" Zhao Ren stood up and politely said. As the minister of the official family, he was the highest official position among all the brothers at that time. At this time, he must stand up to support Your Majesty. Although he has said this several times, it is all from sincerity.

"I am willing to follow Your Majesty to go to the national crisis, and I will not hesitate to die!" Li Gang and others answered, not knowing whether they were moved by the emotions of the officials or forced by the situation, and expressed their determination.

"Okay, with the help of all my dear friends, we can definitely achieve a prosperous country and a strong army, welcome the late emperor, shock the four barbarians, and revive the grandeur of the Han and Tang dynasties!" Zhao Qi was very satisfied with their attitude. Now is a critical moment of reform. These key figures must unify their thinking, otherwise he would not hesitate to change his generals at the last minute.

"Please tell your Majesty!" Everyone bowed again. Zhao Qi looked a little funny. It was really different to be the emperor. He said that they gave him a gift, which was almost the same as a fucking little Japanese.

"Simplify the military and simplify the government, enrich the country and strengthen the army!" Zhao Qi's instructions were summarized in eight words in a simple way. He knew that if he clenched his fists and asked everyone to guess, he didn't know when he would guess, so he would let them do things according to the order!

Next, Zhao Jie explained to everyone about his policy program. Simplifying administration means simplifying business procedures, reducing unnecessary departments, prefectures and counties, reducing officials, and gradually eliminating redundant officials; elite soldiers are reforming the military system, rebuilding the imperial guards, retaining elite soldiers, eliminating the elderly and weak, and improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

Although Zhao Qiong knew the official system and procedures of the Song Dynasty, he was not proficient and complicated. These things were left to the Shangshu Province to draft the documents and then make a decision. However, he knew very well about the army, so he said a lot.

First, we must clarify the responsibilities of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and divide the existing departments and powers. The Ministry of War is still under the leadership of the prime minister, but its powers have been strengthened, and we are responsible for national defense matters and the construction and administrative affairs of various armed organizations. It includes the organization of each army, recruitment and dismissal of soldiers, construction of martial arts, rewards and promotions of military soldiers, manufacturing and management of military ordnance, logistics support and other matters. The chief official is a civil servant, while the assistant minister is a military man.

The Privy Council is still the commanding body of the army, and has no jurisdiction with the Secretariat. It is directly under the leadership of the emperor, implements the emperor's orders and instructions, is in charge of the training and command of the troops, and the selection of officers, formulates and organizes the implementation of strategic battle plans and mobilization plans, and commands and deploys the combat operations of various military branches and tutors. The three yamen were changed to the Infantry Department, the Horse Army Department, the Naval Army Department, the Military Information Department and the Package Department, and the chief officer was appointed by the military.

The army is divided into imperial soldiers, wing soldiers and rural soldiers. The imperial soldiers are still the main national defense force of the country, responsible for conquering wars and guarding Kyoto, and are dispatched by the Privy Council. The wing soldiers are local troops and are the standing army of the local prefectures. They are transferred to the command of the head of the prefecture, responsible for protecting the local area, maintaining public order, clearing up rebellions, and guarding border defenses. The township soldiers are reserve forces, and the Ministry of War is responsible for convening and managing them, and obeying the command and dispatch of the Privy Council during wartime.

Zhao Qi explained the garrisons of the Imperial Army and the Xiang Army. He planned to divide the country into five major military zones, and stationed the Imperial Army according to the light and heavy garrisons, and they were responsible for resisting invasion and guarding the local area. However, they did not belong to the local chief executive, but were still under the leadership and leadership of the Privy Council. They could fight across regions according to actual conditions and orders, but the logistics was also responsible for local support.

In principle, the wing army is only stationed in the area and cannot operate across regions. It is responsible for handling public security in the area and protecting border defense. The emperor must issue an order across the border. The advantage of this is that when encountering foreign enemies invasion, it will not fall into an embarrassing situation where there is no soldiers available, and avoid the tragic situation of the Jurchens driving straight in during the invasion, and the fall of various prefectures and counties will repeat, which will delay the enemy's attack and win time for the mobilization of the imperial guards.

Another reform is to no longer implement the lifelong military service system, but to divide the service years according to the military ranks to reduce the remaining troops, eliminate the elderly and the weak, and maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops. At the same time, what needs to be changed is the change in the salary of soldiers and officers. These require detailed calculations and plans. Zhao Jie, the emperor, does not have to do it himself.

Everyone needs time to digest and understand the instructions of the official family, but they still agree with the emperor's "Eight Character Policy", and the details need to be improved and discussed in detail. In addition, according to the current situation, the reorganization and construction of the army have been accelerated and unified. They are all witnesses of the Jingkang crisis. Of course, they understand the significance of the existence of a powerful army. They cannot be put into the warehouse just because the Jin army temporarily retreated and the horses were put into the warehouse.

Zong Ze and Li Gang had quite a complaint about the use of military personnel as the chief officials of the Privy Council and the improvement of the status of soldiers. However, the design of the official family did not violate the family law. The military power was partially in the establishment of a garrison department, and local civil servants were mobilized by the wing army. This was exactly in line with the spirit of Zhao Pu's original words of "snatching the power, controlling the money and grain, and collecting the elite soldiers". It did not violate the original intention of Taizu's "the military talisman came from the secret courtyard and was not allowed to rule the crowd; the soldiers were in the three yamen, but they were not allowed to dominate the system."
