Chapter 1182: System Innovation

()...,

The cabinet members didn't know how to evaluate Zhang Yu's innovation.

There are wise things, and there are also things that bury huge hidden dangers for the empire.

Most people objected, they would rather spend more money to support soldiers than spread this huge hidden danger everywhere.

Hundreds of thousands of trained troops are placed in local areas, and once they are used by people with intentions, they will become a huge hazard.

Cabinet members were unwilling to take the risk, a few objected and a few remained silent.

Zhang Yu looked at them, and then said: "At least, when I was in power, I was absolutely wise. I can't control so much what happens to future generations. Even if someone wants to rebel, I also believe that the system I established can be inherited."

Zhang Yu's strength was once again revealed. Don't look at Zhang Yu's usual dislike of being in charge, and most of the things are left to the cabinet to deal with, but this very principled issue, Zhang Yu directly pushed forward.

Zhang Yu directly promoted this system, and the cabinet could only cooperate.

Then Zhang Yu started to formulate a new system.

"Nowadays, there are still many prisoners in the whole world. I have a new view on the reformation of prisoners. I will build roads nearby for reformation. In addition, I will assign some heavy-duty criminals to dig rivers."

"I want to dig a canal from south to north, so that the man's rice can be easily transported to the north. If there is a famine in the world, it can be adjusted quickly." Zhang Yu raised another important issue.

Everyone took a few deep breaths at this moment, Zhang Yu was so overjoyed, this is not a good thing.

Guo Jia and Ju Shou stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, this project is huge and absolutely impossible. The world has not yet been completely settled down, and there are a lot of road construction. The empire cannot afford it."

Zhang Yu waved his hand to let them sit down.

"Only the cabinet knows all about this plan, and the ministries only know a small part of the plan. Although I am very happy to be the emperor for thousands of years, I am not stupid. Now that I am prosperous for thousands of years, I have plenty of time."

"The canal plan must be implemented, but I plan to complete it within 30 years, but now I have to start planning and start digging in a small area."

"Starting to dig in sections will not attract anyone's attention. Just let the engineering personnel explore first, and then divide them into dozens of sections. When the time comes, recruit people nearby.

In fact, the problem is not big. "

"With tens of miles of digging in a year, this plan can be easily completed in a few years."

Zhang Yu knew that it was necessary to dig well at one time, and not to recruit a million people. If one was not well controlled, the million young and strong would directly rebel.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was too anxious. There was a war there, and hundreds of thousands of people were recruited to dig there.

Thousands of people can be recruited here, thousands of people can be recruited there, and thousands of people can dig at the same time, and they can dig dozens of miles a year.

The canal is a thousand-year plan, how could Zhang Yu miss it.

Tell the cabinet thirty years, he can't wait for thirty years, maybe fifteen years, maybe ten years to complete.

Hearing Zhang Yu's words, all the cabinets breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhang Yu really wants to launch such a super project now, the cabinet really doesn't know how to deal with it.

Zhang Yu continued: "This is also conducive to the training of engineering personnel, allowing them to study hard. In the future, many water conservancy projects will be built to irrigate the land."

All the cabinets asked Zhang Yu to stop discussing the topic, and they drank tea first and took a rest.

When Zhang Yu was away, they complained that although they had already discussed many things, Zhang Yu still had to decide, and they had to wait for Zhang Yu's decision.

Now that Zhang Yu is back, he likes to raise issues that shock them.

After everyone rested, Zhang Yu asked them to make a detailed plan in a few days, use heavy criminals, and then recruit thousands of people to start building the canal.

The scale is under the control of the cabinet, only a few thousand people, and there is no problem at all, which makes the cabinet feel relieved.

Zhang Yu's series of innovations made it difficult for the cabinet to cope.

Especially the re-division of administrative regions, the workload is too great.

Zhang Yu has only made a rough idea in Shandong for more than a month, and there are many things to follow.

Tian Feng suggested: "Your Majesty, it is not impossible to re-divide, but you can first divide the big ones, and then divide the small ones."

"First divide the provincial level, and not too quickly, and then let the provincial level gradually divide the counties and cities, and there will be a relatively long transition time."

Tian Feng's suggestion was very good, and Zhang Yu said: "That's right, I didn't think about it at the beginning, this way is very good."

Various issues are slowly advancing, and every innovation involves huge implications, and Zhang Yu can't be in a hurry.

Pushing forward so many plans, Zhang Yu felt that he would not even think of going out of the capital within a year.

Without him, the cabinet is not at ease.

The division of provinces is a very important innovation. Zhang Yu discussed it with the cabinet for two full days.

During the two days, as their discussions deepened, more questions arose.

"Then divide Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou first. Youzhou is easy to handle. Divide it into three provinces. The provincial level will be determined first. According to the current official system, internal transfers will be made, and other arrangements will be made later. The affairs of Jizhou will be handed over to Mr. Wen Ruo To deal with it, first determine the division of the province."

After the discussion, various problems surfaced, Zhang Yu was also unexpected, so he could only deal with them slowly.

Provincial officials and municipal officials are generally served by county guards. If there are not enough county guards, the county magistrates will wait for them. If it is not enough, a group of county magistrates will be inspected.

Zhang Yu is going to reorganize the system and change the entire political system.

This is a big project.

After the formulation is completed, the most important thing is that problems will continue to arise during the operation of the system, and Zhang Yu and the cabinet need to constantly face them.

There are many problems that cannot be imagined in advance, and will slowly appear when the implementation begins.

After discussing for a few days, Zhang Yu decided to make a decision first, and then slowly solve the problem when there was a problem.

Zhang Yu determined the provinces, cities and counties. This is a brand-new system, and later generations proved to be very useful.

But whether it can be compatible with this era, Zhang Yu is not sure.

Historically, there have always been imperial envoys who directly govern several provinces, such as the Governor of Liangjiang and the Governor of Huguang.

This shows that administrative units are divided into relatively small places, and management is somewhat troublesome.

It was not without reason that Qin and Han were divided into Kyushu.

Zhang Yu wants to divide Kyushu into more than 30 provinces at once, and then add overseas places, maybe 50 or 60 provinces.

"If they can all be linked by Chidao, then the problem won't be a big deal."

At this time, the efficiency of the transportation system is very low. If it is divided into provinces, cities and counties, the transmission of official documents and messages will be very slow. Originally, several provinces can be sent directly to the state. If the state needs to report to the emperor, it will be sent quickly. If it can Deal with it directly.

Kyushu in the world has turned into more than 30 provinces, and the number of official documents will increase several times. Moreover, senior officials do not have as much authority as the prefectural pastor, so naturally there are more things to ask for instructions.

Zhang Yu can no longer tolerate the existence of state shepherds or Jiedu envoys of the Tang Dynasty. The power is too great, and he is almost like the emperor.
