The establishment of the six ministries is actually no different from the previous system of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. It only changed from the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers to the Minister of the Ministry of the Ministry.

The memorials and documents were reviewed and confirmed by the Ministers of each department and then sent to the Secretariat. Generally speaking, they were handed over to the prime minister in charge for review. At present, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice are under the jurisdiction of Huangfu Song, and the other four departments are temporarily under the responsibility of Cai Yong.

Cai Yong read the following memorials, reviewed them and gave them to Liu Tao for the final approval. Relying on the accumulated experiences and super memory and wisdom of later generations, he basically finished reading them with a glance.

Let’s look at the annotations and official seals written by Cai Yong with a blue pen, and finally use a cinnabar and red pen to make the final approval and use a seal.

Finally, the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs divided these memorials and sent them back to each department and handed them over to each department for processing.

"In other words, the prime minister needs at least six people..." Liu Tao finished reviewing the last memorial and sent it out.

I was bored and slightly condensed the scroll and handed it over to Jian Yong for safekeeping. The latter personally sent it to the secret library for collection. Except for him and Liu Tao, no one is allowed to enter the secret library. Even if you get close, the Jinyiwei will question it.

"There has been no major events in the past few years. In three or five years, Shangshu Lu and Shangshu Zhu can almost go to the Secretariat of the Secretariat." Jian Yong took the scroll and seemed to hear Liu Tao's murmur, so he said with a smile.

Even if Liu Tao has become the emperor, this person is still a little unscrupulous, careless, and has nothing to hold back.

In fact, Liu Tao likes this, hesitates and dares not say anything, or is timid and timid, which will feel very boring. What is rare is that Jian Yong's "no constrained words" at least has a certain standard.

I will never show off my IQ like Yang Xiu, and then kill myself.

"Three or five years, I don't know if those guys give us three or five years." Liu Tao replied casually.

"They either unite to deal with us, or they will give priority to expanding the surrounding areas." Jian Yong thought for a while, "After all, attacking us, the neighbors behind us, and in the end, the soldiers on the front line were defeated by us, which would be a big loss!"

"This is..." Liu Tao smiled.

It’s just like not bullying a neighbor who is even weaker than himself, and he ran over to hit him as an iron bucket. This is not the case with his iron head!

Especially the King of Yan, King Han and King Wei have not ascended the throne and become thorns in the eyes of other emperors. However, Liu Tao felt that it was the most clever way to not be called emperor.

At least they still have a way out, so they won’t be able to fight to the end with other ‘big men’. At the same time, they have become the targets of other ‘big men’ and can even launch an attack on the surrounding areas.

Compared to a nominal "Your Majesty", actual territory and strength are actually more important.

Just talking about his side, he could have pretended to be the "King of Qin" or something. Seeing them proclaiming emperor, watching them attack each other, he made a fortune in Guanzhong.

Later, I felt that everyone would probably be less active in this way. At the same time, in order to maximize their interests, I simply became emperor. Isn’t it embarrassing to be a relative of the Han Dynasty to win the title of “King of Qin”?!

You should know that after more than 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there was no Qin King. It was not until after Cao Wei that the King of Qin was established, Cao Rui's adopted son Cao Xun, and he died prematurely at the age of thirteen.

But what can I call King Qin? King Han? I was too lazy to think about it in the end, so I just called myself emperor. After all, if I call myself King Han, it is no different from being directly called Emperor!

Just when Liu Tao was having fun farming, the 500 candidates who participated in the imperial examination were naturally assigned to local officials one after another. Those who failed the examination also returned to their hometowns one after another.

It is absolutely necessary to publicize the imperial examinations so that the villagers can know the true face of the imperial examinations.

Naturally, spies sent to collect intelligence also reported the imperial examinations.

"So that's it. Combined with libraries, academies and normal colleges, we finally rely on the imperial examinations to complete the talent selection. Xiaoyuan, do you think this is suitable for us?" Liu Chong is probably the one who is most interested in the imperial examinations.

In other words, he admired Liu Tao very much, and it took him six years to ascend the throne and become emperor. Of course, if someone like King Zhao registered, he would at most sneer, but Liu Tao had the strength and ability to become emperor, which was the key point.

Originally, when Liu Tao became emperor, he planned to rely on him. However, Luo Jun said that he should observe for a while. Liu Tao abolished the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers system and changed it to the Three Provinces and Six Ministry system. Although it was strictly reform rather than innovation, Luo Jun felt that he was very similar to Wang Mang who changed the traditions of the Han Dynasty.

Wang Mang killed himself. It is hard to say whether Liu Tao would be like this, so he planned to let Liu Chong observe for a few more years.

Anyway, as long as he is not promoted to the emperor, Liu Chong can surrender at any time. He even takes advantage of this period of time to expand his territory, saying that he can surrender to the emperor without being able to surrender to the emperor, and his treatment will be higher.

Seeing that Liu Chong showed high interest after knowing the imperial examination system, Luo Jun was a little confused.

The imperial examination is a good innovation, especially this scientific examination. Strictly speaking, the scholars in the world have not arrived yet. Or some people have received the news that they have set off too late.

Even so, 500 people took the exam and more than 130 people were selected. If you follow the basic filial piety and integrity system, you will recommend these 13 people, and it will take at least three years for the three states alone.

I don’t know what level the recommended person is. Generally, he has to be a magistrate for three years before he can arrange his official positions according to his specific talent and learning. It is not as clear as the imperial examination, and he can be assigned immediately according to his grades.

"I thought about it. Since this system is based on libraries, schools and normal schools, if your highness wants to learn, he must first establish these. Otherwise, even if the exam is taken, most of the people selected will be from aristocratic families." Luo Jun replied pertinently.

"Yes, then next, let's start the library under the jurisdiction of all counties and counties!" Liu Chong thought about it for a moment and nodded immediately.

"In terms of books, I guess I'd like to buy them directly from Liu Tao. The problem is that the books they have are divided into sentences according to Liu Tao's requirements. Don't we need to re-divid them?" Luo Jun tried to ask.

"No need. Since there is already a ready-made one, just copy it. Save the time when each force has its own standards, which makes the talents from other states take the exam?" Liu Chong obviously thought further, but his admiration for Liu Tao was not concealed at all.

Luo Jun was actually helpless. Everyone was waiting for Liu Chong to proclaim himself emperor, but this person actually planned to surrender to Liu Tao. The three dukes and nine ministers were gone, and it is hard to say whether the three provinces and six ministries have a share.

"We also lack sufficient teachers in the academies and normal schools..." Luo Jun reminded.

"Ask uncle someone, do you think he will give it?" Liu Chong thought for a while.

"Of course I will give it." Luo Jun was speechless. Your Highness, aren't you afraid that others will add private goods when teaching?

The scholars and candidates who are trained at that time agree with Liu Tao rather than Liu Chong. If you work hard to cultivate scholars, wouldn’t it be a dowry for others?

Well, Liu Chong planned to rely on others, and he was just worried, so he simply didn't say it out.

"By the way, how are the soldiers ready?" Liu Chong obviously did not forget the main business.

"It's ready and can launch an attack at any time!" Luo Jun replied immediately after hearing this.

"It's time to take it back from Yuan Shu when he heard this!" Liu Chong clenched his fists. Yuan Shu was entrenched in Nanyang, but occupied Yingchuan and Runan counties. He did not make a clear king and emperor, but was equivalent to a prince who ruled one side.

Several times he tentatively launched an attack on Chen Guo, but he took his men back.

But it is not good to be beaten passively. Besides, as the King of Han of Han, regaining the prefectures and counties occupied by such ulterior motives is also considered a responsibility. Let’s not talk about anything else, Yuzhou must be taken back first!

But Pei County was a little confused. After all, Prince Pei has now become the emperor of "Xu Han". It is not easy to get Pei County back from him!

However, if you want to talk about soft persimmons, you must start with Xu Han or Qi Han first. After all, there is no danger to defend, and the soldiers are not very strong in combat. Xu Han's side, the only one who can rely on is three thousand Danyang soldiers.

There were many elite troops of the Northern Army on Yuan Shu's side. At the same time, the Yuan family was deeply rooted in Runan and countless small families were dependent on it. They took advantage of the opportunity to form militia groups, and each formed militia groups of less than 1,000 to thousands.

Now that Yuan Shu started his career in Nanyang, these families have led their troops to serve. After joining the elite troops of the Northern Army, Yuan Shu has nearly 60,000 soldiers.

In the South Korean side, including Chen County and Liang County, the total number of soldiers and elite soldiers is only about 10,000.

Although during the Yellow Turban period, King Chen gathered 100,000 people, most of them were militiamen, which were worse than those of the Song Dynasty soldiers. After several years of training, and after a little practical battle against Dong, he had just gained combat effectiveness.

"This battle should be steady and steady. Your Highness will fight outside. He should listen to the military advisor and general's advice." Seeing that Liu Chong was determined to deal with Yuan Shu, Luo Jun could only persuade him again. He had said such words many times.

"Well, I understand!" Liu Chong felt that the prime minister was a little nagging, and he had never fought a war.

As time goes by day, the imperial examinations have spread all over the world. Everyone knows that there is an imperial examination, and there will be another imperial examination in three years, and there will be another one every three years.

The biggest problem is that those over forty years old are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination.

Even so, this is also a road to heaven. As long as you study hard and then participate in the imperial examination, you may become an official. Moreover, it is said that those Jinshi who are on the list can also participate in the palace examination and become disciples of the emperor.

For a time, scholars in the world were not calm, and what was talked about the most in the circle was naturally the imperial examination.

Then, without expectation, the imperial examinations were divided into two camps. One was that he felt that he only took the exam and did not pay attention to filial piety and integrity. The selected officials may be corrupt officials, or at least cruel officials.

Needless to say, most of these people are from aristocratic families. They were already prepared to go to the official position through the family arrangement, but this thing suddenly appeared. If it became common sense, it would be much more difficult for them to become an official.

Another camp is poor families and ordinary people. They can become officials by working hard, which is equivalent to having hope.

No matter whether it is talented or not, it will be an official first. As the recipients of actual interests, they are naturally unconditional users. At the same time, they are also trying every means to go to Bingzhou.

After all, since the aristocratic families learned about the imperial examination system, they have become more strict in their control over books. It has become increasingly difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with books. However, in Bingzhou, there are free libraries to read books and even copy them!

It can be imagined that the loss of talents in various places will probably be very serious. If local governments forcefully stop it, the consequence will only be that conflicts between aristocratic families and poor families, and even ordinary people will be further intensified.

Of course, the aristocratic clans and officials don’t care about the ideas of these people at all. They are just “cattle and sheep”, so just be obedient. Those who do not recognize their own position will naturally have to suffer a little.

For the various "Hans" or "Father Kings", their attitude towards the imperial examinations is not polarized.

For example, Liu Chong thought that he could carry out the imperial examination, so he began to discuss with his ministers how to build the imperial examination. He also completely opposed the imperial examination system, believing that it was a "great harm", such as Emperor Zhao Han, Chu Han, Xu Han, Qi Han and Wu Han.

Some people also chose to wait and see, intending to see the effectiveness of the imperial examination materials, and then decide whether to do it. For example, King Liu Dai of Wei, King Liu Yu of Yan, and Emperor Liu Yan of the "Shu Han" Emperor Liu Yan.

If hundreds or thousands of people refer to it in one breath, then they can directly select hundreds, or even relax the conditions, two or three hundred will not be a problem.

After changing the filial piety and integrity and recruitment system, local governments need to verify and recommend these two or three hundred scholars, but they don’t know when.

Besides, the recommended filial piety and honesty are directly related to the recommended officials. If there is a problem with filial piety and honesty, the recommended officials will also be held accountable. Therefore, unless there is absolutely no accident, the officials themselves are not willing to recommend scholars.

But there is no such concern in the imperial examination. After all, it is a direct selection and no one recommends it. Therefore, you can directly hire it if you pass the exam.

As long as you have not been sucked in your mind, or have become a puppet of your ministers and are completely obsolete, you will naturally become interested in the imperial examination. Of course, interest is interest. Whether the imperial examination is practical will take you to observe for three years to see if it is.

However, they are more interested in the system of the three provinces and six ministries. After all, they weaken the power of the three ministers and reduce their workload. The three provinces and six ministries have the shadow of the three ministers and nine ministers, which belongs to improvement rather than innovation.

But in order to highlight their "orthodox" and to maximize the traditional political model of the Han Dynasty, everyone hesitated to this, let alone the three provinces and six ministries system.

Finally, I put all these things aside and tried them while fumbled.

The most important thing at present is of course expanding territory!

At this time, let’s not talk about other princes for now, Liu Yan felt that he was a little miserable, after all, there was no place to expand...

Going north, Liangzhou and Sili directly started a war with Liu Tao? This year, tea is about to start a large-scale export. Thinking of the profits brought by the trade in tea, Shu brocade, iron and grain, Liu Yan was reluctant to go to the Northern Expedition.

But if he didn't make a Northern Expedition, would he have to stay in Yizhou and become the emperor of the "Shu Han"? In the end, he hypnotized himself. After all, Emperor Gaozu of Han won the world like this.

Let you fight first, I will develop well first... Liu Yan can only comfort himself like this.

At the same time, Emperor Han of Zhao sent Yuan Shao to the State of Yan, and Liu Chong and Yuan Shu sharpened their knives on the border.
