"Not much?" Zhao Xu said in surprise.

Ouyang Bian nodded.

"In our Song Dynasty, there are only four people in a county magistrate, county magistrate, chief clerk, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, county

There are two thousand households in each county, and these few people are actually unable to manage them. Well, with the officials, the number of management is not enough.

The situation of the prefecture is actually not much different from this. There are not many people in the formal establishment, and officials have to be appointed as the official.

The officials do not need to pass the exam, and they are all locals, so it is easy to form a local family of officials.

In fact, the position of a clerk is not important? No, it is actually very necessary for high-quality officials to act as a member of the government. The level of administration is often related to their qualities."

"What do you mean is that we should use officials to act as officials?" Zhao Xu asked.

Ouyang Bian nodded: "There is a problem with the administration of officials, most of which are in the form of officials. The fundamental reason for the corruption and false laws of officials is because they either seek wealth or noble in the political field.

However, if there is no name or wealth, it is only by using his unique power to obtain wealth through corruption and abuse of power, and to rectify the administration of officials, the management of officials is very important.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expel officials immediately, but we can assess officials and use rules and regulations to restrict them.

We can increase the staffing and include the officials in the official system, so that if the officials have expectations, they will not object. With the official system, the same Jinshi origin and the official will not object to the entry.

In this way, we can not only remove unqualified officials, but also arrange redundant officials in.

The overall quality of the same Jinshi officer and the Yin rank officer should be higher than that of the official officer, so that the quality of the officials can be improved."

Zhao Xu thought about it: "In this way, the problem of redundant officials can be solved and the administration can be improved, but the staffing needs to be increased, I am afraid that my husbands will disagree."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Of course, so we can't start with this, let's start with developing the economy!"

Zhao Xu nodded: "Why is this?"

Ouyang Bian wrote two words with his pen.

"Assing authority?" Zhao Xu frowned.

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Yes, establishing authority means establishing prestige. The reason why we start from the economy is that there is already a track in the economy.

We only need to copy and accelerate. Your Majesty should know the development of Jinghu North Road?"

Zhao Xu nodded excitedly: "I know that the economic development speed of Jinghu North Road in recent years has been amazing, surpassing many old-fashioned economic strong roads. Now it has become the top three economic strong roads, and its development momentum is very strong!"

Ouyang Bian nodded: "That's because of my previous layout on Jinghu North Road, I used four tricks!

One trick is to use the central bank to activate the finance of Jinghu North Road;

The second trick is to use the Banking Regulatory Guard to sweep away all the bandits on Jinghu North Road;

The third trick is to use road construction to connect Jinghu North Road into one;

The fourth move is to vigorously develop local agriculture on Jinghu North Road.

Just these four tricks are enough to make the economic development of Jinghu North Road in full swing. What we need to do now is to promote the Jinghu North Road model to other places!"

Zhao Xu nodded affirmatively: "Just do what you said, do we need to make any announcements?"

Ouyang Bian shook his head: "Just do things, don't make a big fuss."

Zhao Xu nodded, but suddenly remembered something and asked: "The model of Jinghu North Road is so good, why did the central bank not implement it on other roads later?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said nothing.

Zhao Xu suddenly realized: "Yes, later you asked Mr. Han to transfer him back..."

He was silent for a moment: "...Ji Mo, don't go to the central bank. I need you by my side. Who do you think can take over the central bank's storied stories?"

Ouyang Bian thought for a while and said, "Governor Lu Qing from Liangzhe Road Branch can do it."

Zhao Xu silently wrote down the name: "In this way, can economic development vigorously promote the Jinghu North Road model?"

Ouyang Bian nodded: "We cannot promote blindly. The reason why we have made a five-year plan is to take it step by step. First, our funds are not that abundant, and second, the scope is too wide, we cannot monitor it."

Zhao Xu said anxiously: "Can't it be promoted on a large scale?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "It's not that you can't, but you have to leave some energy. Step by step is the best way. If there is a problem, it's easy to adjust. Your Majesty, I have something to persuade you."

When Ouyang Bian said the last sentence, his face became serious.

Zhao Xu knew that Ouyang Bian was very serious when he was like this, so he also restrained his expression.

"Yeah, you said."

Ouyang Bian said: "Reform is to cross the river by feeling the stones. We don't know how deep the water ahead is, so we must be cautious and cautious. We are all young, and we can reach the top of the mountain by walking step by step!"

Zhao Xu took a deep breath and smiled: "You are right!"

Ouyang Bian and Zhao Xu looked at each other and laughed: "Let's not speak out, let alone shout about reform and change. These are useless except to attract opposition.

Let’s do it quietly, vigorously develop the economy, and release official system reforms quietly.

When encountering resistance, you should solve the problem of prescriptions, listen to opinions from multiple parties, proceed step by step, and moisten the rain silently.

By the time we were discovered, we were almost on the top of the mountain.”

Zhao Xu hesitated a little: "But, Mr. Han and others may not agree."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "So, let's come quietly. As long as we are quiet and careful enough, they will not wake up.

When they woke up, it was like heavy snow fell overnight, which had already changed into a new layer of clothes!"

Zhao Xu suspected: "Can you do it?"

Ouyang Bian shrugged: "Let's try it. If it doesn't work, let's come with great fanfare."

Zhao Xu thought about it and smiled: "I'm quite excited to think about it."

The two of them smiled at each other, like little boys who were preparing to do something bad without telling them.

A few days later, Han Wei, a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, recommended Ouyang Bian to draft the external system by being appointed as the official of the Bank of China, and to draft the external system by the Song Dynasty along the Tang Dynasty. He used the Hanlin Academy to draft the "internal system" and the Central Secretariat draft the "external system", which was called the "two systems".

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the Sheren of the Zhongshu often sent a official position to pay the salary and did not actually take up his post. However, the Sheren Academy was set up in the Zhongshu's Imperial Court, and the other officials were appointed as the magistrate to draft the external system.

Although Ouyang Bian was young, he had no choice but to make edicts with his qualifications, so this recommendation was quickly appointed.

Ouyang Bian officially joined the company.

Ouyang Xiu nominated Lu Qing, the president of Liangzhe Road Branch, as the president of the People's Bank of China.

Ouyang Bian's successor had been in the position of the central bank for many years, and Han Qi was not easy to object, so Lu Qing officially took office.
