Wang Anshi's eyes were shiny.

He could understand Ouyang Bian's meaning.

The first three departments of the reform were the highest financial institutions of the central government. The so-called "the government did not accept the incoming tribute and taxes from all directions, and the court did not take action, and the three departments were all connected to the management of salt and iron, the division of the branch, and the Ministry of Revenue, and the name was Jishen, and the position was Ya's ruler, and it was called Jishen."

According to Ouyang Bian's proposal, the Regulations Department can seize the power of the three departments by issuing laws and actual control over the shipping envoy and various promotions.

The power of goods in the mountains and rivers under the command of the judge of Salt and Iron, such as the power of the world, the city, rivers and canals, and military weapons can be seized by the shipping department.

The power of the Duzhu "calculates the use of the state" can be seized through the architectural style.

If the Changping Office is appointed to implement the Qingmiao Law and manage farmland water conservancy, service affairs, etc., the power of Changping, Yichuang, exemption from service, market, fangchang, river ferry, and water conservancy can be taken into the hands of all.

At this point, most of the power of the Sansi Department belongs to the regulations of the Sansi Department.

Just when Wang Anshi was happy, Ouyang Bian said again.

"Seizing power is not an end, but a means.

The main body of our official system can be roughly divided into dispatch and entrusted officials. In the past, officials of the official positions included the rank of the salary and ranks and were classified.

That is, the officials in previous dynasties were rank officials, which determined the order of the class and status and treatment. At the same time, the rank officials were given the salary as the basis for determining the salary, so it was also called the official who was given the salary.

The official, the rank, and the official who is in charge of the salary are integrated, and they are all separated from the affairs of duty and have other powers to dispatch.

Therefore, there are seven or eight who are in charge of their official positions. The institutions overlap, there are neither fixed positions nor full-time positions, and there are also many idle institutions and officials who are just famous but do nothing.

If you are in charge of your official position and do not take up your post, there are disagreements and chaos between the names and names of officials. Even if there are several superior departments in the subordinate departments at the same time, no one can be managed effectively, so that there is a strange phenomenon that subordinates do not know who their superiors are.

The corruption and inefficiency of the officialdom today are shocking!

The three departments invaded the rights of the provincial farmers, military weapons, generals, governors, capitals, Dali Temple, Yumen and other institutions, but they did not have the corresponding ability and energy to deal with it, which led to the poverty and weakness of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, our infringement of the power of the three departments is not to seize power, but to separate power.

Later, the regulations were dismissed from the Secretariat, Changping, and exempted from labor, farmland, and water conservancy laws were transferred to the Ministry of Peasants, and the case of the army was transferred to the military equipment, and the construction was transferred to the general as the supervisor. The investigation of official affairs was transferred to the Dali Temple, the accounting department, the management department was transferred to the Bi Ministry, the Yasi Department was transferred to the capital, and the pit was transferred to the Yu Ministry.

Divide responsibilities and let idle officials participate in political affairs, rather than a small number of people doing most of the work. A small number of people cannot complete a lot of work, while most people can only wander in the forest and cannot do things.

The 24 departments of the three provinces, six ministries, and all the officials of the local governments all govern the affairs with their own officials. Their power and responsibilities are clearly visible at a glance, and they perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities.

If someone does business, you can hold people accountable if something happens. Only in this way can people become independent and initiative, rather than just eating!

So, my opinion is to rectify the origin and return the power to the three provinces and six ministries!”

Wang Anshi's face was a little solemn and he frowned tightly.

Ouyang Bian stared at him and didn't say anything.

After a long time, Wang Anshi let out a sigh of relief.

"This matter is so difficult than the sky!"

Ouyang Bian nodded and smiled, "Of course it's difficult."

Wang Anshi looked at Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "The teacher doesn't want to say it, so the student just throws a brick and makes me tell you."

Wang Anshi nodded, and he also wanted to hear what Ouyang Bian himself thought.

"The separation of power of the three provinces will inevitably lead to the disadvantages of mutual disputes and inefficiency. In order to coordinate actions between the three provinces, the heads of the three provinces regularly discuss matters in the Zhengshi Hall of the Menxia Province. Since the Wude period, the Secretary of the Ministry of the Menxia and the Minister of the Menxia have gathered discussions in the Political Affairs Hall, and the Political Affairs Hall is set up in the Menxia Province.

Since the Five Dynasties, although the names of the three provinces have always existed, they have become one province. At the same time, due to the establishment of the Privy Council and the Three Divisions, the prime minister's military and financial power were deprived, and the system of the three provinces has been destroyed in name only.

However, the emperor of the Song Dynasty seized the prime minister's military and financial power, and he himself was supervised by officials at all levels headed by the prime minister.

Especially the prime minister's power compensation, although he lost military and financial power, the three provinces of the central organization were all under the command of the prime minister, so the emperor actually could not directly manage the government affairs."

Wang Anshi nodded in surprise. This was the first time he had heard of this.

People often take things they have seen since childhood for granted, and so do they.

"So, the first difficulty in restructuring was the prime ministers in the civil service group of the Song Dynasty. They were willing to see an emperor who ruled with mercy. Haha, Emperor Renzong ruled with mercy, so he was famous."

Ouyang Bian laughed.

Wang Anshi stared at Ouyang Bian and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

Ouyang Bian didn't care at all, after all, Wang Anshi was also a rebellious person.

"But the advantage is that Your Majesty will definitely support it strongly, because after it is changed to the three provinces and six ministries, he can directly manage the government affairs and issue orders to the three provinces and six ministries. Isn't this what the Emperor of the Song Dynasty dreamed of?"

Ouyang Bian smiled.

Wang Anshi nodded.

Ouyang Bian's analysis is very reasonable.

The prime minister and the monarch have always been zero-sum games where you advance and I retreat. If the prime minister and the monarch have a step further, the monarch will have to take a step back. Now if they give the monarch a chance to follow the further, any emperor will be willing to accept it.

However, Wang Anshi did not give a reply immediately, because he is now the actual prime minister, which is equivalent to depriving himself of his power.

Ouyang Bian did not urge him, he continued.

"It is a bit difficult to implement reform in the central government, but the most difficult part is not the center, but the local area.

The central restructuring has actually been completed after we deprived the power of the Three Divisions and returned to the Six Divisions and Nine Temples and Five Prisons, and the rest is nothing more than abolishing the temporary dispatch and returning to the official rank.

But it is not that easy to be in the local area. Local supervisors have too much power and their responsibilities are important. It is impossible to cancel them all at once. We can only slowly return the power to avoid causing unrest.

The key is that there is also a local official who is in charge of power. If the clerks at the bottom do not understand political affairs or the staff do not have enough idleness, they will be underestimated by the clerks.

These are important factors that hinder reform. If it is to be reformed, we must make drastic reforms to this."

Wang Anshi couldn't help but get numb from his scalp.

Compared with economic reform, the official system reform is even more daunting.

Economic reform will violate the economic interests of vested interests, while official system reform will involve their wealth and lives. Maybe they will really have to work hard.

Wang Anshi sighed: "This is another big problem."

Ouyang Bian laughed.

That's right, governing the country has never been simple.
Chapter completed!
