Chapter 13

"You look a little bad. Haven't you finished today's government affairs?"

Ye Qinglian nodded slightly, but she didn't keep people at a distance.

It's nice to have someone to complain to...

"There are more troubles in the Jiangnan area today. Compared with usual days, there are 500 more memorials, all of which need to be handled with full authority."

Before, I could only relax when I was resting.

Now that Chu Ning has appeared, it's okay to eat.

The food tastes very good, with a strong fragrance.

She relaxed a little and hummed.

"People in the court asked me to enthrone the emperor and give birth to a dragon son as soon as possible to stabilize the country."

Chu Ning was immediately happy.

"Although the emperor is not there yet, the dragon son has been there for a long time!"

Chu Ning smiled and moved the bench, quietly moving closer.

"In fact, the emperor's affairs can be put on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad if your belly is discovered."

Ye Qinglian also moved the bench farther away.

As if she didn't notice?

"Wouldn't it be easier to explain after we get married? Then you can say that you may have five, six, seven or eight children, so the change is huge..."

Ye Qinglian glared at him, and suddenly became angry!

Five, six, seven or eight? !

What does she think she is!

Who can give birth to so many!

Ye Qinglian gritted her teeth and said, "I will arrange this as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to get away with it."

Chu Ning smiled and nodded, and also noticed something.

"Then it seems that you are not worried about this matter?"

"Just some troublesome things in the court."

Chu Ning did not ask more.

He is not good at this stuff, but fighting is okay.

Those who can be emperors are not simple people.

"By the way, how big is the Daqian Dynasty? You need to handle so many government affairs every day?"

"Hehe, from north to south, from west to east, there are 30,000 miles of mountains and rivers, what do you think?"

The area is 15,000 kilometers long and wide?

It's bigger than China in the original world.

But Chu Ning was a little puzzled.

"But even with such a large territory, two or three thousand memorials a day shouldn't be possible, isn't there anyone in the court to help you handle government affairs?"

Ye Qinglian said lightly: "From military affairs to people's livelihood, I handle them all by myself. Why, do you want to share the burden?"

Chu Ning shook his head.

"I don't understand that, and I'm not interested in that, but you are too busy. There are six ministries in the court, and there are hundreds of officials in the six ministries, and there is a prime minister above them. You are left alone to take full responsibility?"

"The six ministries in the court are executive agencies, and the prime minister is responsible for supervising the officials and does not handle them."

Chu Ning understood.

Qin Shihuang died of exhaustion like this!

Centralization of power, integration of military and politics, and direct access to government affairs at the grassroots level, with unlimited power!

"But it will still be very tiring, right?"

Ye Qinglian glanced at Chu Ning unhappily: "Whether you are tired or not, I will take care of it myself. You just need to lie down in the harem. Even if you become the emperor, you must know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Do you understand?"

Chu Ning shook his head.

"I'm just saying that you can actually classify some government affairs and let the officials handle them. After all, aren't they too relaxed?"

Ye Qinglian put down her bowl and chopsticks, and she became competitive.

Discussing governance with her?

Chu Ning is still very young!

"Then tell me, what should I do if officials do not handle government affairs properly?"

Chu Ning smiled and said, "Of course it will not be sent directly to the local government. Officials will review the memorials, give their opinions after reviewing them, and submit them to the prime minister for supplementation after they are done. Then you can review them."

Ye Qinglian sneered, "Oh, what's the difference between that and me handling it myself?"

"The difference is huge. Those who can serve in the court are more or less capable. They can handle ordinary memorials. If they are not handled well, they will be handed over to the prime minister for a second opinion. When it comes to you, it is the final review. You can get the opinions of all officials, and the final decision-making power is also in your hands. Isn't it very easy?"

Ye Qinglian was slightly stunned when he heard this.

That's indeed the truth, but I feel that these officials are useless, so it's better for him to do it himself.

Chu Ning laughed again, "You can even gather these officials together, and have many officials give their opinions on a memorial in turn, and finally the prime minister will review it and give it to you for the final decision. In this way, you will get more results, and there may not be any surprising decisions?"

Ye Qinglian sneered again: "In this way, wouldn't the prime minister have more power than me? I just attach the most importance to the review. If the prime minister plots in it..."

"Look, memorials are divided into various types. Officials from the Ministry of Personnel, Household, Rites, Military, Criminal Affairs, and Engineering are selected to handle them by themselves, and then submit them to the six ministers after handling."

"The six ministers are a check and balance between each other."

"You feel worried about one prime minister, but you can set up three or even five, handle government affairs together, supervise each other, and even if these departments collude with each other, you can set up a supervisory department to specially review..."

"The bottom-level memorials are reported to the six ministries, the six ministers, and then to several prime ministers, and finally to you. The difficulty of your work will be greatly reduced. If you really feel that the handling is not good, you can give your own opinions for discussion. If not, then you can just let it go..."

What Chu Ning said is the cabinet handling agency of the Ming Dynasty!

"But there is a troublesome thing about doing this, that is, as an emperor, you are far away from the world. If you are a tyrant, even this agency does not need you and can run by itself, so you have to firmly control the power..."

"You said that I am a tyrant?"

Ye Qinglian quickly picked the key points!

Chu Ning smiled and shook his head, picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl.

"That's definitely not the case. I'm just describing a more relaxed political machine. You can even add some methods to assess officials."

"For example, officials need to set goals for this year as a test for promotion at the end of the year. You file one here, the prime minister files one, and the officials file one."

"Give different rewards and promotions according to different goals. Those who have done nothing are just sitting there and getting kicked out. Those who can do something will be promoted."

"In this way, political efficiency can be improved, and the people at the bottom will feel the improvement..."

At this moment, Ye Qinglian was already stunned, and the food was at her mouth but she couldn't eat it.

What is this talking about?

Even if it has not been implemented yet, many of the key points are directly pointing to Ye Qinglian's pain points!

In this way, not only can we monitor all officials and hand over trivial matters to all officials, but there is also a triple insurance to ensure that government affairs can be stable.

It can also greatly reduce her work fatigue...

Just when a trace of expectation flashed in Ye Qinglian's eyes, Chu Ning suddenly stopped.

He smiled and shook his head.

"Qinglian, you don't have to care. I just said it casually. As an emperor, you must know more than me. I am just showing off my skills in front of you."

He really said it casually without thinking much.

Chu Ning is not interested in these.

He is only interested in this female emperor!

"Just treat it as a casual chat after dinner. Anyway, it is not something that can be put on the table."

What Chu Ning said is actually the political system of the Ming Dynasty.

But the Ming Dynasty eventually perished. The performance evaluation system mentioned later was recommended by Zhang Juzheng, but it is too difficult to reform it. Coupled with the incompetent monarch...

There is nothing to say.

My wife must do better!

After all, she is still a cultivator!

However, at this moment, Ye Qinglian's heart has already set off a storm!

The official system is reformed, and government affairs are handled in layers, and finally reviewed by the emperor.

And the officials themselves, because of the performance evaluation, the poor ones are directly kicked out, and the ones with strong political achievements are brought up.

It will be easier to handle in the future, and more capable officials can get out of the way, so as to help her take over the government affairs!

And she, Ye Qinglian, only needs to be in the highest position and control the court to directly control the world!

Even the busyness of work can be greatly reduced.

What kind of ideas does this guy have, and he is so strong?

But Chu Ning's later words made her stunned.

Something that is not presentable?

You took out a political system that did not exist in the five dynasties, and then casually said that it was something that was not presentable?

You look down on any ruler of the five dynasties, and you also look down on her!

Ye Qinglian wanted to hit someone!

I was just listening to the exciting part, why did it stop...

"Qinglian, why don't you eat, don't you like it?"

She no longer had an appetite!

Ye Qinglian put down her bowl and chopsticks, a little hesitant.

Should I say it or not?

I felt that if I said it, I would feel despised by Chu Ning.

To be honest, she hadn't thought of what Chu Ning said, even though the five dynasties now have different political systems, she hadn't thought of it.

After all, the Immortal Dynasty is based on the top strength of the immortals, with a cultivator at the celestial realm sitting in charge. No matter how fancy you are, you will be destroyed directly, so she doesn't care much about the development in this area.

But now...

She seems to need it.

"Chu Ning."

The latter looked puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

She looked a little unnatural and coughed lightly.

"Can you tell me what you said just now again, and make it clearer..."

"What do you want? Just ask, whether it's money or power, I willI can promise you."

She didn't look directly at Chu Ning, and her words were also understated.

She was always arrogant, and acted as if it didn't matter whether she listened or not, after all, her status and personality were there.

But Chu Ning could feel Ye Qinglian's strong desire to listen!

He was suddenly stunned at this moment!

Ye Qinglian, are you interested in what he said?

But this is an abandoned political system, which has been overthrown!

No, the political system of the Ming Dynasty was actually very advanced, but there were some drawbacks, but reforms were not feasible in that era, but for my wife, it was possible!

Chu Ning smiled and looked over.

"Really? Your Majesty, do you keep your word? "

Ye Qinglian had long understood the meaning of Chu Ning's sudden change of address, which was to threaten her with her status as emperor.

As an emperor, can you go back on your word?

"Sure, I can satisfy whatever you want..."

Before she finished her words, Chu Ning's hand immediately came up and grasped it!

Just a grasp like this, that means grasping the whole world!

"What if I want your majesty?"
