With the end of the report from the Ministry of Agriculture, the spring plowing of the Han Dynasty was officially over. The crops of this era are far less abundant than those of later generations. For example, if you grow grain, you will almost always grow grain, and there will be no other cash crops. The farmland of this era is more for food.

Because for the whole era, there is not enough food for countries around the world. There is no country like Dahan. Without Lingquan Water, the current Dahan would not have the place he is today.

The spring farming of the Han Dynasty was completely over, but the news of the Han Dynasty was not calm at all. The Tang Dynasty was not calm at all at this moment. Wei Zheng had returned to Chang'an. Wei Zheng, who returned to Chang'an, went to see Li Shimin as soon as possible.

When Wei Zheng saw Li Shimin, he said nothing, but just sorted out all the things he collected from the Han Dynasty and handed them over to Li Shimin.

Especially the detailed description of the political system of the Han Dynasty in the two issues of the Dahan Monthly Report, Wei Zheng handed it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin had some doubts about Wei Zheng's behavior. If he didn't give it to him, he would have read all these two explanations as soon as possible.

After reading it, Li Shimin was already a little shocked. To be honest, such a political system... he had never thought of, or since ancient times, no emperor has taken the initiative to reduce his rights, and most of them have strengthened centralization.

From the history of various dynasties, strengthening centralization is conducive to the rule of the empire. Is Huo Gang's operation... laying a hidden danger to the Han Dynasty?

"Xuancheng, what do you think about this?" Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and asked.

Wei Zheng is different from Wei Zheng before. At least when he took the initiative to go to the Han Dynasty, it became different. It seemed that some of Du Ruhui's words caused him some shock, but no matter what, Wei Zheng's changes did not change his personality.

Although Wei Zheng may not be as good as Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling in some aspects, Wei Zheng is a straightforward person and cannot rub sand in his eyes. It is very suitable for him in some aspects, such as the censor, the counselor, or he knows his positioning.

Because he is different from Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, there are too many people who give advice to Li Shimin, but not many people who can give advice to Li Shimin. Although Wei Zheng has changed some of it now, it does not mean that he has changed his style of doing things.

Instead, he said that he had changed his mind and Wei Zheng was too lazy to care about some so-called personal styles. He had already talked about more about some major issues in people's livelihood.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Wei Zheng did not say it directly as before, but instead asked directly.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng with some surprise. If he asked in the past, Wei Zheng would say directly, "At present, the entire political system feels more advantageous than our Tang Dynasty, especially the electoral system, which makes me feel refreshed. In addition, the separation of powers they mentioned here is also interesting, which is conducive to the division of conflicts in the court."

As an emperor, Li Shimin knew that the most important thing as an emperor was a balance strategy. In the court, forming a private party is not a good word, and this is not something that should have happened. However, Li Shimin knew that ministers are also human beings. As long as they are human beings, they have good relationships and bad relationships.

Just like in his court, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were not very good at it, but if Changsun Wuji were not there, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were not in the same style.

In the general direction, military generals like Cheng Yaojin and others cannot get along with Changsun Wuji. When there are some big problems, they will almost always face each other.

Such things are very normal, and as an emperor, it is very important to balance the abilities of his subordinates.

Like the so-called separation of powers proposed by the Han Dynasty, Li Shimin felt a little refreshing. It seemed that the country's court factions were placed in the open, but if you think about it carefully, it seemed that this was not the case.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't know that it was. The separation of powers mentioned by Huo Gang was actually two concepts and the separation of powers mentioned by later generations in the West, not the same thing.

There is a strange political system here, but overall, Li Shimin saw some interesting things, such as the so-called three provinces and six ministries system in the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the three provinces, just six ministries. The six ministries dominate the world. However, in fact, the rights of some real power departments of the six ministries are too huge.

But the Han Dynasty was different. The Han Dynasty set up a bunch of departments of the same level, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Military Affairs, Industry, Transportation, etc. The levels of these departments are the same, but there are the Prime Minister and a committee above these departments.

Among these departments, a parliament was divided into a parliament. The lowest level of parliamentarians in this parliament were the city lords of each city and officials of each level of the city. According to the Tang Dynasty, the county magistrates who were just a county town might all be members of the parliament.

As for the highest level of prime ministers, they are elected by these members of parliament.

This prime minister is similar to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He is almost the highest first-rank official in the court. He was actually elected by countless small officials. At present, Li Shimin is not sure how the other party's parliament operates. He will not be able to understand it at least five years later, when the other party's election will be renewed.

In addition to this, what surprised Li Shimin the most was that except for military power, Huo Gang no longer managed most of the matters in the government, but left it to the Prime Minister to handle it alone.

In addition, the judicial field is much more advanced than the Tang Dynasty. The police department is responsible for investigating and determining cases, but the police department is not responsible for the punishment.

The Police Department belongs to the Ministry of Security, but the sentencing and other aspects are handed over to the Ministry of Justice. The two belong to different departments, which means that the public nature of the sentence will be higher. At least like a county in the Tang Dynasty, the county magistrate almost controls all the military and political powers of the entire county.

According to the Han system, the county magistrate obviously cannot control everything.

"If you ask me, to be honest, I think this system is interesting, but if you simply look at the surface, you can't see anything. But I think that in this way, some contradictions between officials of the Han Dynasty no longer seem to be a contradiction between the monarch and the ministers, but between ministers."

"In addition, there is a problem with such a system, and they need a large number of officials." Li Shimin immediately grasped the most important issue of the Han system.

"Yes, Your Majesty is indeed keen. The Han Dynasty has a very good system, that is, their administrative orders are implemented very quickly. Once these departments and systems are in operation, they will become very professional, and professional matters are left to professionals. Unlike our Tang Dynasty, many departments are responsible for many things, but these officials are not proficient in some things." Wei Zheng immediately bent down and saluted.

"There are so many officials in the great man?" Li Shimin was very curious about this.

"Not at the moment, but they will have it soon." Wei Zheng smiled.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty must have heard of the Han Dynasty's order to recruit talents." Wei Zheng said.

"I heard that, after all, our Tang Dynasty has been circulating. Could it be that Huo Gang really relies on this to find some officials?" Li Shimin asked with a frown slightly.

It is not impossible to find officials like this, but there is a problem with finding officials like this, that is, countries like the Tang Dynasty with a perfect system cannot be adopted, and only wild forces like the Han Dynasty can be used, because everyone is equal, and Huo Gang said whoever takes power can be taken power.

"I don't know how many people rushed over in the Tang Dynasty, but at least all the capable people in Changlezhou should have been taken down. The officials found in this recruitment order did not directly send them to some important positions, but assigned them to various departments and then examine their work ability."

"If they pass the inspection, they will be appointed to a more important position. For the big man, there are many gaps in their officials, so they don't mind giving these people more opportunities to show their abilities."

"But this is just one of them. What really surprised me was the second. The second is the fundamental reason why the Han Dynasty will definitely become stronger in the future." Wei Zheng said in a serious tone.

"Xuancheng, please speak." Li Shimin also became serious.

"Your Majesty, do you know? The total population of the Han Dynasty is about one million, but among the one million people in the Han Dynasty, there are about 800,000 people with more than 800 commonly used characters!" Wei Zheng said seriously.

"This is impossible!" Li Shimin stood up from his position almost instantly. He was really shocked by Wei Zheng's words.

What a joke, the entire Tang Dynasty has a population of about 30 million, but there are no more than 800,000 scholars now. The Tang Dynasty now has absolutely no reading rate of one percent. You say that the Han Dynasty has a population of 800,000 with literacy?! Do you want to scare people to death?!

"Your Majesty, the number I mentioned is only higher than this number, and not lower than this number." Wei Zheng's expression was serious.

"This... how is this possible?!" Li Shimin was shocked and a little lost in his mind, and said subconsciously.

Li Shimin was really shocked. It was hard for him to imagine what it would be to know a country if almost all employees were able to read. If this was achieved, would there be no officials? He immediately understood why Wei Zheng said that the Han Dynasty now lacked officials, but soon there was no shortage of officials.
