Outside the Ministry of War, officials waiting to enter crowded the waiting room. In the office, Liu Wenjing, the Minister of War, who was almost flooded with files, explained to his subordinates surrounded by the desk.

The court was about to adjust its administrative divisions and implement the separation of administrative regions and military regions, so the ministerial departments were very busy, and the Ministry of War was no exception. Because the general administrations were abolished and replaced by the governor's office, the relevant affairs were extremely complicated, which made Liu Wenjing go on a row for more than half a month.

No, he has been busy since the beginning of spring.

I am busy during the day and at night, and the meetings are constantly open, and I have to keep talking every day. If I hadn't had tea to moisten my throat, I'm afraid I would have made my throat hoarse.

Thanks to Liu Wenjing's strong strength, and with more than 20 years of experience, such intense busyness is OK for him.

After finally finishing the explanation, several subordinates surrendered, and officials came in and began to report the matter and wait for his explanation.

Liu Wenjing took a few sips of tea to moisten her throat, got up, came to the wall with a huge map, pointed to the trend of the mountains and rivers on the map, and said: "The setting of the Protectorate's Mansion must consider both the terrain and the mutual restraint, and the same is true for the Governor's Mansion..."

"However, considering mutual restraint, we must also consider mutual cooperation. Otherwise, if there are bandits crossing borders, if the commanders and commanders of each department are not well coordinated, they will give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it. At this time, the Protectorate will come to make up for the loss of the sheep."

"But if the bandits roam in the junction of various Protectorate Prefectures, how should they cooperate to clear them?"

"If the Protectorate's Office is restrained, there may be disputes between each other. Therefore, the defense areas of the adjacent Protectorate's Office should consider the problem of bandits. The setting of a Protectorate's Office should completely include some areas that are easily occupied by bandits as much as possible, and do not leave hidden dangers..."

Liu Wenjing's considerations are not redundant. One of the responsibilities of the Protectorate's Office. To put it nicely, it is to protect the country and the people, and to put it directly, it is to suppress rebellions or large-scale civil unrest. Therefore, the division of defense zones must consider how to "efficiently" complete this responsibility.

The political and military regions are separated, and are the road (official) and the Protectorate. Based on reality, the defense areas of each Protectorate must be "interlaced" to varying degrees to avoid a certain Protectorate being large and able to be able to maintain its independence.

But the result of "interlacing" is that once there are bandits who cannot be dealt with, they will be "managed" by any of the Protectorate.

In principle, the army of each Protectorate's Office cannot fight across borders and must obtain approval from the court in advance. However, such a principle will make the official army hinder when clearing out the bandits that cross the border.

At the same time, in the Protectorate’s Office, at the junction of the governor’s office, it is easy to have a state of “everyone can manage, but no one can manage”. Whether it is a civil servant or a military officer, it is normal for the officialdom to be unrelated to one’s own affairs. Liu Wenjing dared not have any optimistic expectations for the enthusiasm of bureaucrats to do things.

Therefore, in order to minimize the area where "everyone can manage, no one can manage" as much as possible, and not give bandits the opportunity to occupy the mountain and accumulate strength, the division of defense areas between the Protectorate and the Governor's Office must be thoroughly considered.

At the same time, once a natural disaster occurs, a large number of refugees appear. Although the "first responsible person" is not the Protectorate, in order to prevent ambitious people from gathering to rebel, corresponding countermeasures must also be taken.

Therefore, in areas with frequent disasters in history, it is best not to be "divided" by more than two Protectorate Mansions. If multiple Protectorate Mansions have to be "divided", then the rules must be set in advance.

In order to avoid the fact that refugees will indeed appear in the future, and even the several protectors will not be able to take care of them in time, which will lead to the refugees becoming bandits. That would be a big deal.

Reform sounds simple, but once it is affected by the whole body, the related changes have a great impact. Therefore, Liu Wenjing and his subordinates are busy all day long, and they must work hard for the full implementation of the administrative region next year.

Before he knew it, it was already evening. After a day of busy life, Liu Wenjing looked at the officials who were still waiting to come in and ordered helplessly: "Let everyone go to the cafeteria for dinner first, and continue tonight."

......

At night, Du Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, walked back to the office building after dinner in the canteen. The courtyard of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was brightly lit under the night, and the office building was no exception. Since this three-story building was put into use, there have been no time for each office.

Du Yan's office location was also raised from the first floor to the second floor, and then to the third floor.

In a few years, I may return to the first floor, because the offices of the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice are all on the first floor (in an independent yard).

Du Yan thought so and walked slowly towards the office building.

As the Minister of Civil Affairs, he could ask the cafeteria to deliver food to the office without having to go to the cafeteria to have a meal in person, but after sitting in the office for a day, he should get up and walk, exercise his muscles and bones, and breathe at the same time to make his head clear.

The imperial court was reorganized, and the political districts and military districts were separated, and the administrative agencies of the political districts were divided into the Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, the Commander and the Criminal Censorship Department, and the Three Envoy Departments were separated, so there were many corresponding changes.

The changes were finalized in January next year, so officials of the six ministries were busy for more than half a year. Various conferences and small meetings were continuous, and the ministries had to coordinate and communicate with each other, and the work intensity was several times higher.

At this time, the ministers of various departments were relatively leisurely. The busiest ones were the ministers who were adjutants. Thanks to Du Yannian's strong strength and had been practicing for nearly twenty years, he was able to handle his mountain of official documents with ease.

For him, no matter how busy he is, he is also a time to show his ability. He is already a minister and is one step away from the Secretary of the State. As long as he works harder, he can work on the first floor. In a few years, he may be able to enter the Political Affairs Hall.

Only the three high-ranking officials can enter the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters. Therefore, whether they can enter the Political Affairs Hall means whether an official is among the ranks of the priests.

Who doesn’t want to be the magistrate of the world?

To be an official, you have to be a high-ranking official. Du Yan is not capable of military affairs and has no ability to gallop on the battlefield. If you want to please the emperor, you will not be able to enter. Therefore, if you want to climb up, you have to rely on political achievements and let the emperor see his abilities.

The emperor values ​​practice and his ears and ears are all over the court and the country, so Du Yan feels that he only needs to work hard to perform and will definitely be rewarded. If he rashly flatters, he may be able to add to his own efforts.

His career experience has proved this in the past twenty years.

Du Yan stopped and looked at a brightly lit courtyard, where the office of the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was located.

If you can be an official at the Shangshu level, you have been up for many years, so it is very inconvenient to go up and downstairs all day long, so it is better to be on the ground.

At the same time, there are various supporting facilities and comfortable accommodation. If officials from various departments work overtime at the office at night, they can only squeeze into the dormitory building when they are resting.

Although as a minister, there must be a special dormitory with complete supporting facilities, who doesn’t want to show the level of special treatment?

Du Yan walked into the office building and came to the third floor. When he walked along the corridor to his office, he saw that the officials in the offices next to him had finished their meals one after another, so he ordered his followers:
Chapter completed!
