睿宗景雲二年,監察御史韓琬上疏曰:「量事置官,量官置人,使官稱其人,須人不虛位。除此之外,使其耕桑,任其商賈,何為引令入仕,廢其本業。臣愚以為國家開仕進之門廣矣,皆棄農桑工商而身趨之。當今一夫耕而供數百人食,一婦蠶而供數百人衣,遂使公私皆無儲蓄。若不釐革,其弊必甚。」 |
| | In the second year of Jingyun during Emperor Ruizong's reign, Jiancha Yushi Han Wan submitted a memorial stating: "Officials should be appointed according to the needs of affairs, and personnel should be assigned according to official positions. This ensures that officials are worthy of their posts and that no position is left vacant unnecessarily. "Except for this, if they are allowed to farm and raise silkworms or engage in commerce, why should we encourage them to enter officialdom and abandon their primary occupations? "I humbly believe that the state has already opened wide doors for entering officialdom, yet people still abandon farming, sericulture, and commerce to pursue it. "Nowadays, one man's farming supports the food of hundreds, and one woman's sericulture provides clothing for hundreds. This has led to neither public nor private reserves being accumulated. "If this is not reformed, its drawbacks will surely become severe."

| | During the Zhong period of Youjian, I was humbly appointed to the Hubei Department and exclusively in charge of national taxation. At that time, due to military campaigns in He Shuo, there were sometimes shortages in expenses, and the people were greatly burdened; increasing taxes was particularly difficult. To achieve success in governance, it is essential to reduce expenditures. Therefore, I dared to submit a proposal stating: "Tang and Yu examined ancient practices and established only one hundred officials. The number of officials in Xia and Shang dynasties doubled, yet they were still able to maintain order. The Zhou dynasty established six official departments, each with their own subordinates; although they emphasized culture over simplicity and had many officials handling complex affairs, the system remained orderly without overlapping or redundant positions. The Qin dynasty established its system based on what was suitable for the times. At first, the Han dynasty followed this system, but later it gradually expanded. In the sixth year of Jianwu during Emperor Guangwu's reign, over four hundred counties were abolished or merged, and only one out of ten official positions was retained. During the Taihe period of Wei dynasty, envoys were dispatched to reduce the number of officials at the state and commandery levels. In the Zhengshi period, more counties and districts were merged. In the sixth year of Taiyuan during the Jin dynasty, over seven hundred official positions were reduced. In the third year of Kaihuang during the Sui dynasty, more than five hundred commanderies were abolished. At the beginning of the Zhenguan era in our dynasty, over six hundred internal officials were reduced. Carefully considering the original purpose of establishing official positions is to manage the people; therefore, in ancient times, officials were appointed according to population. Therefore, during the Zhou dynasty, officials for towns and counties within the capital region were roughly determined based on population; there were no redundant or unnecessary positions. From the Han, Wei, Jin, and Sui dynasties to our holy Tang dynasty, due to wars and displacement, as well as the hardships of military campaigns and construction efforts, officials were reduced; these measures are recorded in historical records. Jin dynasty's Xun Xu and Huan Wen both proposed such policies; to ease the burden on people and correct problems, there is no better way than this. In ancient times, Gao Yao was responsible for establishing the five punishments; today's Minister of Punishment and Dali Qing are the two modern counterparts to Gao Yao. Chui was responsible for organizing Gonggong's tools and implements; today's Minister of Works and Jiangzuo Jian are the two modern counterparts to Chui. Qi was responsible for implementing the five teachings as Grand Tutor; today's Siku and Minister of Revenue are the two modern counterparts to Qi. Boyi was responsible for overseeing state rituals as Zhi Zong; today's Minister of Rites and Master of Ceremonies are the two modern counterparts to Boyi. Boyi was in charge of managing mountains and lakes as Grand Forester; today's Langzhong of Yubu and Duishui Shǐzhe are the two modern counterparts to Boyī. Bo Jiong was in charge of carriages and horses as Taifu; today's Taifu Qing, Jiangbu Langzhong, Shangnian Fengyu, and Xianjiu Shǐzhe are the four modern counterparts to Bo Jiong. In ancient times, the Son of Heaven had six armies; during the Han dynasty, there were four generals: the Front, Rear, Left, and Right Generals. Today, there are twelve guards and eight armies such as Shen Ce, totaling sixty generals. Through successive dynasties, additions and enhancements have led to this situation; old titles are not abolished while new duties continue to be added. The names become numerous and the responsibilities heavy, making it impossible to list them all. This is why the Later Zhou dynasty followed the ancient Zhou system by establishing six officials; this was done precisely for these reasons. Now, let us briefly discuss local officials. The Biejia position was originally established during the Han dynasty to accompany the cishi in inspections, similar to how today's Ciguanchu has a vice commissioner. The Canjun position was established at the end of the Later Han dynasty to assist in military affairs within various offices, similar to today's Jiedu Pan Guan. Official titles and duties have changed over time; many are now empty names with no real responsibilities or functions. The position of Sutian was once established in the third year of Jinglong, but not long after, it was abolished due to its complexity and redundancy, being merged into Sihu. This decision proved particularly reasonable. It is indeed necessary to carefully consider the level of complexity and reduction, thoroughly examine what should be added or removed; if one truly wishes to achieve good governance, it must begin with correctly defining official titles. During the Shenlong period, official discipline deteriorated and became chaotic; officials in charge sought to widely gather candidates for appointment, competing to collect titles. At that time, there were no vacancies to fill, so over two thousand officials were appointed as Waiyuan Guan through memorials and recommendations; since then, this practice became a regular system. During the Kaiyuan and Tianbao periods, there was peace throughout the four directions, and the people were prosperous; in total, there were over nine million registered households. Although there were many officials and expenses were heavy, human resources were sufficient and the treasury was full; even if some waste occurred, it was not a cause for concern. Now, with warfare still unsettled, the common people are in decline and suffering. Several years ago, over 1.3 million households were recorded in the imperial court's accounts from across the empire. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, envoys have been dispatched to investigate and collect data; combining native households with migrant households, a total of over three million were recorded. This is only one-third of the Tianbao period's figure, and among these, two-fifths are still floating or fictitious registrations. If those paying taxes and rents have decreased so greatly, how can those receiving these revenues continue as before? If a single state has only several thousand households but employs fifty to sixty officials, it is like having nine shepherds for ten sheep; this results in exhausted officials and burdens on the people. Considering this serious problem, we truly wish to reform it. Many commentators argue that there are still rebellious forces not yet subdued, and after merging or reducing officials, those who lose their positions may have no path for advancement. They might seek alternative support, so it is necessary to retain titles and salaries as a precautionary measure. This is merely conventional thinking; such concerns do not constitute sound advice for correcting the problem. Those with talent can be recommended and employed, while those without ability need not fear fleeing; besides, everyone has relatives and is attached to their family property. In the sixth year of Jianwu during the Later Han dynasty, counties were reduced and officials cut even though Gongsun Shu and Wei Qiao had not yet been defeated; During the Taihe and Zhengshi periods of the Wei dynasty, Wu and Shu were still in a tripartite standoff; In the sixth year of Taiyuan under the Jin dynasty, the state of Wu was still extant; In the third year of Kaihuang under the Sui dynasty, Chen's regime still held territory. At those times, they were all recruiting talented individuals and vying for dominance; yet even then, no one was concerned about losing capable people to the enemy. The priority remained addressing the problems at hand. Now, figures like Tian Yue are merely mediocre and petty; they impose harsh punishments and heavy taxes solely to support the military. They treat scholars and officials as slaves or captives—how could such people compare to Gongsun Shu, Zhuge Liang in Bashu, Sun Quan, or Chen Baxian ruling southern Jiangnan? Therefore, there is certainly no need to worry about someone like Fan Jiu strengthening Qin or Ji Ji empowering the Di people. This can be clearly discerned. Now, if we consider that people have grown accustomed to the current system and cannot immediately reform it, then for now, let us only temporarily suspend the positions of local officials such as Biejia, Sima, and Canjun. Within each state and county, official quotas should be adjusted by reducing Xunwei based on the number of households. Those who are dismissed, if they possess virtue and talent, should be identified and recommended by the state or county magistrates; thus, capable individuals will not be overlooked. If any abuses occur, those responsible for the recommendation shall first be held accountable; who would then dare to act recklessly and risk legal punishment? Those who are not recommended but retain their old titles may still participate in regular appointments; they should naturally improve themselves and await future selection. Temporarily suspending annual evaluations harms no one. For example, the title Zhugu was established at the end of Later Wei; those who held it were all distinguished men of virtue and achievement from that time. They had earned great military merit and prestige, commanding major forces and enjoying the highest honors and privileges. After the Zhou and Sui dynasties, numerous appointments were made; by our dynasty's time, these titles were reclassified as military ranks, granting only thirty qing of land. Also, the titles Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Guanglu Dafu were originally official positions; due to their widespread use among many people, they have now been reclassified as rank designations. Establishing systems in accordance with the times and adapting to address problems is essential; there is no need for rigid adherence or excessive difficulty in reform. Once military campaigns cease and the people gradually recover, if it becomes necessary to increase officials, then we can restore the old system."
