The atmosphere in Chongzheng Hall was a bit dull. Xu Ping was located in the lower corner, closest to the brazier, and felt more and more hot.

The reason for this correct comment was that Kou Yi submitted a memorial to use the method used by Xu Pingyuan in Yongzhou in the next year's leap year calendar, that is, refer to some tables, and classify them, so that the lines are clear.

When it comes to the country's legal system and the matter is serious, the emperor recruited the prelude to the prelude to the three officials.

The prime minister in the east, the prime minister Lu Yijian, the second prime minister Zhang Shixun, the chief minister Song Shou and Cai Qi, and the other chief minister Zhang Dexiang was on duty in the Political Affairs Hall.

In the west Privy Council, Privy Councilor Wang Zeng, Deputy Privy Councilor Li Zi and Sheng Du, another deputy Privy Councilor Wang Deyong was on duty.

The representatives of Kou Yen and Xu Ping could only sit in front of these great masters.

The people in the palace can be divided into several generations according to their age. Zhang Shixun, Li Zi, Shengdu and Kou are the first generation, all of whom are in their sixties and seventies. Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng are the same age, and they are both fifty-six years old this year. The next generation is Song Huan and Cai Qi, both in their forties. The youngest are Emperor Zhao Zhen and Xu Ping, who are also the same age, twenty-four years old.

This age distribution itself illustrates the problem.

Among the oldest generation, Zhang Shixun, the most powerful minister of the Eastern Palace, was Zhao Zhen, the emperor's most trusted person among the prime ministers. Li Zi was old and no longer ambitions. Shengdu was purely trying to survive the prime minister's addiction before resigning, just to make up for the numbers. Kou Yan, who had the lowest status in this generation, was the most dazzling in their generation in terms of political experience and political achievements, but his good dear nobleman was Ding Wei in his early years, otherwise he would have been the position of prime minister, and now he relies on Xu Ping's last attempt.

The next generation of Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng were well-deserved pillars of the country at this time. They were the leaders of bureaucrats and scholars of this era, whether in terms of fame, qualifications, political achievements, or personal abilities.

The next generation of Song Shou and Cai Qi are not enough to stand alone at this time, and are the vassals of Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng of the previous generation.

As for Emperor Zhao Zhen and Xu Ping, they were still in the stage of not being involved in politics and tremblingly testing them little by little.

Zhao Zhen looked at the officials on both sides and said slowly: "When Xu Ping was in Yongzhou, he once submitted a memorial to discuss sugar affairs. It was divided into categories and clearly. There were many charts, and even people who were not familiar with sugar affairs could see it at a glance. Over the years, the development of sugar affairs has become a big helper for the national finance as Xu Ping said back then. The affairs of the three departments were chaotic and complicated, and it was not clear if they were not from the department. If they were not in the department, they would be clear about the files. If they followed the method used by Xu Ping in Yongzhou, they would be clear one by one, and the central government could decide on political affairs based on this. What do you think?"

Lu Yijian's tone was plain: "Good things are good things, but the three departments have accumulated millions of file files. I am afraid that they can't sort them out clearly when they are anxious. Some are lost over the years, some are bitten by insects and rats, and they are exposed to the sun and rain. They are well organized and are afraid that it is difficult to be organized."

Kou was impatient and said after hearing this: "My husband said that, but it is precisely because of this that he needs to organize the case files. Otherwise, if he accumulates year by year, he will never be able to organize them one day."

If it is not a part-time job for a short time, one missing link in Lu Yijian's political experience is the Sansi. He naturally knows the situation of the Sansi for many years, but he is not familiar with the specific affairs. After hearing Kou Yan's words, Lu Yijian closed his eyes and said nothing.

Cai Qi said: "The three departments govern the world's finances and use every money and everything to be declared. The number of case files is really beyond human resources to read. If Xu Ping can really organize the case files clearly, he will make great contributions to the country. To accomplish this, he should be assigned to officials, and more professional officials, report to the Secretary of State for major matters, and be dedicated to small matters. In this way, he must have two or three percent of them to succeed."

The emperor naturally didn't know what the business was in the Sansi Yamen. They all said that the affairs were complicated and the case files were numerous, but there was no idea of ​​any miscellaneous methods. Cai Qi was a member of the Sansi envoy. Among these people, only he and Li Zi said it was reliable. The others were all cages and spoke based on their feelings.

So he asked Li Zi again: "How?"

Li Zi was honest and said directly: "Cai Zisi said it right, but it was more difficult than Zisi's words."

Zhao Zhen was still a little confused. If he had more officials, how many people should he be assigned? How to support material resources? How to configure manpower and material resources? These are not something that can be solved by a few false words.

Seeing that the prime ministers present did not seem to be speaking enthusiastically, we can’t blame the ministers. It’s because there are not many ruling officials in this term and they can’t say anything. Zhao Zhen had to ask Xu Ping: “Kou Wang appointed you as a deputy editor of the Three Departments’ regulations. How much time do you think it will take? How long can the editing be completed?”

Xu Ping said in a deep voice: "Report to Your Majesty, although I have been in the Third Division for several months, there are only a few bins in the case files of the Third Division. I am really unsure of how many there are to be organized. If you want to make it clear, I am afraid you have to check it first."

Wang Zeng, who had not spoken, spoke slowly: "What Xu Ping said is that a thing in the world must pass through three corpses, and it is impossible to estimate clearly if you are anxious. It is almost the end of the year, so it is better to stay for three months to prepare for Xu Ping on this matter. He will give the memorial in February and March of the next year, and then report it clearly."

Wang Zeng, like Lu Yijian, did not have the experience of serving in the three departments, so the two had little difference in their opinions. Things are good, but they are too difficult, so it is better to do it slowly.

Seeing that everyone had already agreed, Kou Ying asked again: "This is the case file of previous years, so what about the leap year calendar for next year? Should we follow the stories of previous years or follow the new method?"

Lu Yijian said: "Since Sansi said it was a new method, it was naturally based on the new method. However, just in case, it is still necessary to copy the stories of previous years, so let the states and counties work hard."

Xu Ping opened his mouth and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

I have worked hard, and I am a person who has been a magistrate. When encountering such a thing, isn’t the usual practice of magistrate copying the numbers from previous years and then reporting them in the new format to fool me? Then I thought that Lu Yijian had been a magistrate for longer than himself, and he had served in the local area for many years as a magistrate. How could he not know what he knew? The officials of prefectures and counties were fooled. Anyway, the changes in this era were at least ten years, and it was not too far away. When the officials below were familiar with the new rules, it would not be too late to do a thorough statistics.

The others had no objection, so the matter was settled. Xu Ping had an extra dispatch on his head, and he was also in charge of the preparations for editing the Three Divisions. This official title sounded very awkward, but many officials in this era sounded awkward, so what?

(Note: Wang Anshi's organization during the reform was to establish the Sansi Regulation Department. Both the system and the inspection details were more reformed and more relaxed than the editor. What is more important is that the system was not affiliated with the Central Secretary, and the prime minister was not allowed to interfere, but was directly under the emperor's management, so it became the target of public criticism. The book was only a small department under the Sansi Regulation Department, and there was no such great power, so there were not so many people who came out to oppose it, and of course they could not do the reform. To avoid misunderstandings, I would like to explain it here.)
