Chapter 508: Reform of the Crown Prince, Earth Eye Completion (a Little Water)

So, Ning Hongye made this suggestion.

But unfortunately, Chen Nuo no longer has this idea. The worldly desires are just a little fun for him.

He is now a cosmic life and has children. To put it bluntly, he can't be satisfied by women now. He even has to be careful when doing something, otherwise someone will die.

In addition, it is difficult for him to have children again. The gap in life level is too big.

So.

"Don't mention this matter, but you can call some women to choose the crown princess."

"Pay attention to family education. Commoner women, middle and low-level officials, and women from noble families can also participate. Don't let those big forces dominate."

Faced with Chen Nuo's arbitrary decision, Ning Hongye had no choice but to write down these orders one by one.

Soon.

At the grand court meeting.

Chen Nuo began to reform the system and confer titles on ministers.

Change the original prime minister system to a cabinet system, with five to seven people.

The Five Military Commandery was established, with the general as the head and the cabinet, and under it were the five military commanders of the front, back, left, right and center.

The Supervisory Office was established to monitor internal officials for corruption, political mistakes, etc.

The Taxation Department was established to investigate taxes, form an independent army, and have its own laws.

The internal responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites were changed, and the educational function was added.

Thus.

The high-level political structure of the Han Dynasty changed to: the cabinet was the head, the Commandery was the deputy, and under it were seven ministries and one station.

This was the initial establishment, and it would be changed according to the situation in the future.

After saying this, Chen Nuo did not stop at all, and immediately began to confer titles on the ministers.

The Queen Mother, the Queen, the Imperial Concubine, the Virtuous Concubine...

The King of Jin, the King of Han...

These are all family members.

Then came the clansmen and important ministers.

Chen Shuiwen was named the King of Wuyue, and concurrently served as the Deputy Chief of the Zongzheng Temple.

Chen Yong was named the King of Loyalty and Bravery and the General of the Central Army.

Wei Shuao was named the King of the Battle Soldiers and the General.

Chen Deng was named the King of Loyalty and Righteousness, the Minister of Personnel, and the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet.

Chen Tang was conferred the title of Duke of Tang and General of the Front Army.

Chen Ping was conferred the title of Duke of Zhongguo and Commander of Longyuan Guard.

Chen Dao, Guanqiu Jian, Chen Lin, Chen Qun, Chen Qingzhi, Chen Xiao, Chen Hua, Chen Shan...

All were conferred the title of Marquis or Earl.

In the five-level system of Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron, those above Earl were high-ranking nobles.

Moreover, Chen Nuo made restrictions. Except for the Duke of the Founding State and the King, who were allowed to inherit one person per generation, the rest of the levels were to decline step by step.

With each succession, the title would decline by one level until Baron.

The salary given to Baron was not high, and the country could afford it.

As for the compensation for not allowing inheritance, they could freely join the army and participate in politics, and those who made meritorious service could be promoted to a higher title, which was regarded as pulling the reins of the nobles in the hands of the emperor.

Faced with such a reform, everyone had different thoughts, but at this first grand court meeting, no one dared to refute Chen Nuo.

Especially the miracle of that day, and Chen Nuo's identity as a warrior in the blood-blasting realm, are enough to overwhelm all monsters.

So.

In front of Chen Nuo, all the ministers bowed their heads and were in awe.

When the court meeting was over, Chen Nuo called Chen Ye to Chengqian Hall alone.

Chengqian Hall was where Chen Nuo was going to handle government affairs.

After being crowned as a king and wearing a royal robe, Chen Ye's temperament has also changed a lot. He is no longer as carefree as before, perhaps because he knows that he is different now.

"Meet the emperor."

"Okay, don't act like this, it's nonsense."

Chen Nuo waved his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Ye smiled and sat aside relaxedly, "Dad, why did you call me here specifically?"

"I'm going to make you the prince, you know?"

Chen Ye nodded.

For them, Chen Nuo rarely hides things, because Chen Nuo knows that in a family, the most taboo thing is to hide things from relatives, which will only lead to more and more misunderstandings and suspicions.

Therefore, harmony, friendship and unity are the family traditions that Chen Nuo has always advocated and practiced.

And this family tradition can only be maintained for two or three generations at most. What will happen after three generations? Chen Nuo will have to intervene.

After all, the power of the poisonous snake of power is really terrifying.

"Dad, I have no problem. I have also communicated with my eldest brother."

"Well, what I just did at the grand court meeting, do you understand?" Chen Nuo nodded and asked again.

Chen Ye's heart tightened, knowing that this was both a test and a teaching.

"Dad, the cabinet system has greatly increased the power of the emperor, but it is easy to make party disputes more obvious. This may require the emperor's own ability to balance to limit it."

"The Five Military Command Office will make the power of the generals more concentrated, especially the warriors, who can be widely recruited as an opportunity. Moreover, the general's entry into the cabinet also ensures a part of the checks and balances on the cabinet. The only thing to consider is the general's loyalty to the emperor."

"As for the Supervisory Office, it may be a big move, but I don't know how to operate it specifically."

"The Taxation Department is powerful. It has its own laws and its own army. This is to split part of the financial power from the Ministry of Households, which is more efficient."

"And a few uncles..."

"..."

Chen Ye's narration was clear and every link was understood, which made Chen Nuo nod slightly.

After a long time, Chen Ye stopped, and Chen Nuo also said.

"The position of the general is now Wei Shuao. When he retires in the future, you can arrange a member of your clan."

"As for the Supervisory Department, haha, it won't be long before your father shows you how to use it."

"Also, be prepared to take office. I will abdicate in a few years, and you will take on this responsibility then."

? ? ?

Chen Ye was surprised.

Aren't founding emperors usually in office for a long time? He thought he had to be the crown prince for at least thirty or forty years before he could take the throne, but why did his father...

"Heh, you don't think your father really likes this position, do you?" Chen Nuo had a disdainful smile on his face.

"Isn't the so-called imperial power still because of my fist?"

"Otherwise, no matter how good your political tactics are, you will be like Anle Gong Zhou Rong."

"The reason why I built such a political balance is just to make the Han machine run more steadily, to better protect people's livelihood, and to make you and your descendants smoother."

"There is no way, who made you weak in martial arts, I can only pay more attention to this aspect."

"In addition, there is no unchanging system in the world. With the development of the oil industry and the source blood industry, a major change will come in a few decades. You have to use the books I read to you before."

"Finally, I want to warn you."

Chen Nuo sat up straight, and his eyes released a terrifying light.

"Never let the beast of power devour you, let alone harm the people, otherwise, one day you will be bitten back!"

Chen Ye looked solemn.

"My son, remember this!"

...

Walking out of the hall, Chen Ye looked at the magnificent and vast palace, as well as the respectful guards, palace maids and eunuchs, and an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart.

He looked at his palm and understood that this was a power that was close yet distant!

It was almost omnipotent, and could even make those powerful warriors bow down.

Thousands of troops!

All living beings bowed!

Respected as gods!

Like a king and a father!

Life and death!

This is the imperial power!

But with it came a kind of extremely cold and cold.

This thing can really devour people's hearts.

Fortunately, he still has constraints.

His father's teachings since childhood, and the earnest teachings just now... He knew very well that his father did so much for him, otherwise with his father's character...

He shook his head, looked up at the clear and boundless sky, and felt the refreshing breeze.

He showed a sincere smile from the heart, just like when he helped the children in the orphanage and successfully fought against the evil forces.

"Just put the beast in the cage of your heart."

"Father, I will be a good emperor."

The New Year passed quickly.

It was the ninth year of Earth Eye, which was also the first year of Xinghan.

Only in the second month of the new year, Chen Nuo announced his intention to make Chen Ye the crown prince.

Except for a few ambitious people who had ulterior motives but could not do anything, the entire Han Dynasty supported it.

After all, the emperor is the country, and the emperor's will is the will of everyone!

At least, Chen Nuo can do this.

Afterwards, in the ninth year of Earth Eye, the Supervision Department and the Taxation Department showed their role.

The Supervision Department began to investigate and kill local officials on a large scale. Because of the assistance of Longyuan Guard and the Taxation Department, the work of the Supervision Guards went smoothly, and they could even mobilize the army to encircle and suppress when necessary.

Under this power, all officials in the country were investigated.

From the third-rank officials to the township officials who were not ranked, none of them were spared. Those with minor crimes and forced to do so were only retained in their posts, while those with serious crimes were generally thrown into prison or even killed directly!

There was no rule that scholars and officials could not be killed. Of course, all this was done in secret, and ordinary people and businessmen did not know about it.

The Supervisory Guards conducted a clean inspection, and the Taxation Department conducted a tax inspection. With a two-pronged approach, the new Han Dynasty immediately welcomed the baptism. Some places even showed signs of riots, and there were traces of high-level warriors, but under the suppression of the army and the special forces of the Taxation Department, no one could make any waves.

The high-level warrior was beaten half to death like a dead dog, and then hanged on the city wall.

Finally, the Supervisory Guards returned to the Supervisory Station, but before the officials from all over the country could breathe a sigh of relief, a piece of news made everyone numb.

That is, the Supervisory Station conducts an irregular, non-transparent and non-public secret investigation every year.

The entire Han officialdom was suddenly filled with wailing.

But, did anyone resign?

No, not even one.

Chen Ye, who watched the whole process and even participated in it, was stunned.

"Did you see it? This is the officials, like capitalists, emperors, nobles, etc., are actually born with original sin."

"In this feudal era, and even to a certain extent in the future, as long as the officials are well controlled and the politics is clear, then most of the so-called problems are actually not problems, and prosperity is simply within reach."

"But human nature is not trustworthy, and it is almost impossible to prevent officials from being greedy. There was once a person who even used means such as skinning and stuffing straw, but still couldn't stop the trend of corruption, but!"

"Is it really unstoppable?"

"No, it can be stopped."

"That is to keep killing!"

"Kill until it becomes an unbreakable rule!"

Chen Ye's eyelids jumped, what do you mean by the emperor also has original sin, Dad, I understand what you mean, I have read the book you gave you, but we really don't want to be like that...

And this indiscriminate killing... In the end, will there really be a situation where someone writes a suicide note before taking office?

At this time, Chen Nuo changed the subject, "Of course, we can't be too strict. We must give the maximum amount of money and welfare benefits, and we can't let them be greedy."

"Also, the sentencing should be appropriate. Some people with minor crimes should not be killed or imprisoned. Just keep them in their positions to see the results."

"This is a degree, do you understand?"

"As long as you maintain this policy, the Supervision Office will be your sharp weapon, and the country's clarity can be maintained for a long time."

"In addition, don't underestimate the Taxation Department. It is to investigate the super-rich and those black..."

Under Chen Nuo's words and deeds, Chen Ye gradually understood the purpose of these newly established departments.

However, he still didn't think much of his father's words about killing people all the time. After all, the government will die when the people die!

Moreover, these people are loyal talents cultivated by the family, colleges, etc. for many years, but they will also degenerate. In the future, can they really remain the same?

And those officials, families... dissatisfaction will also accumulate day by day...

Especially the warriors, this is the core ruling class of this world...

Just thinking about it, Chen Ye felt that a huge pot seemed to fall on his head, but he couldn't say anything.

"Dad, don't worry, I will do it well."

Chen Ye could only force a smile in the end, indicating that he would inherit and implement his father's policies 100%!

Looking at Chen Ye, Chen Nuo understood his concerns and smiled, "Don't be afraid, remember, the biggest fist is with your father, and in addition, I have arranged for your uncle Yong's hero club to transform, and wild warriors, martial arts sects, etc., will be handled by the hero club."

"If the family and generals are within our court system, then follow the rules. If you play tricks, hehe..."

Looking at Chen Nuo, Chen Ye nodded, thinking.

"Let's go back, your father and I still have things to do."

...

Chen Nuo did not stay long after returning to Jiangling, but returned to Yuezhou.

They quickly came to various places and met some people.

Most of them were members of Longyuan.

And they were the earth eyes chosen by Chen Nuo.

All of them were in the mind realm.

Not only Yuezhou, Chen Nuo even arranged nine earth eyes in the mind realm in Jingzhou.

Each of them practiced the art of vibrating veins in a place, communicating, resonating, and infecting the earth veins, forming the so-called earth eyes.

This is the real thing Chen Nuo was talking about.

Compared to the secular world, what really determines everything is the unity of all the true qi forces in nine years to carry out the anti-gui envoy-earth eye plan!

Chen Nuo took out the earth eye map, and saw that on the nine states, Jingyue and Youji Bingliang were all lit up.

Yunba and Yunba were still a long way off, and Yuzhou had just been completed.

"Youji, Dao Palace."

"Bingzhou, Tianxian Palace."

"Liangzhou, Buddhism."

"Yuzhou, Tianlong Island."

"Jingyue, me."

"Yunba, the Four Sects of Southern Wasteland and Taiyue Sect."

"Now it seems that the foundation of the Four Sects of Southern Wasteland and Taiyue Sect is still a lot worse than that of Dao Palace."

From the speed of the lit earth eyes, it can be seen that the power of Dao Palace is the strongest, Tianxian Palace and Buddhism should be equal, followed by Tianlong Island, which is not bad.

The Four Sects of Southern Wasteland and Taiyue Sect are relatively poor, and are the most backward among these forces.

As for myself?

Needless to say, I must be the first!

"I need to send a message to ask if I need support."

Just when Chen Nuo thought so, the earth eye map in his hand suddenly shone brightly. He looked carefully and saw that the stars of Yunba and two states had lit up.

?

"Is this, completed?"

Just when Chen Nuo looked at the earth eye map and saw that all the earth eyes were completed, he was stunned. (End of this chapter)
