When everyone looked at the stage again, almost everyone held their breath, wanting to see who would ultimately win and who would take home those 30 points.
Both people on the stage were now sprawled on the ground. Yukimichi Uchiha was nearly unconscious, while Fū Uchiha was still barely conscious.
"The clan leader is here!" someone shouted, and the crowd quickly formed two lines, parting to make way for them.
Uchiha Takashi slowly walked in, glanced at the two people slumped on the stage, and twitched his eye. "Seriously? You two got really worked up? I was thinking you two were coming back to talk to me about something, but you came back and are now lying on the ground like this."
A member of the Uchiha nearby said, "So these two are evenly matched? What do you mean by evenly matched? Do we get extra points?"
However, upon hearing what his subordinates said, Fū Uchiha scrambled to his feet in an instant. "I can still fight! I can still fight! I won!"
Meanwhile, Yukimichi Uchiha, gritting his teeth, stood up. "You're talking nonsense! I can still fight!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Uchiha Takashi darted onto the stage and pinned them down. "You two, calm down! I need to talk to you about this!"
However, a member of the tribesmen in the audience asked, "Then who won that bet?"
Uchiha Takashi swept over them. "Of course the betting doesn't count! I haven't even settled accounts with you for running betting games privately within the clan yet."
"Come, come, if I remember correctly, the family rules stipulate that gambling is not allowed, right? Gambling is not allowed without permission, right?"
The Uchiha clan members who set up the gambling den immediately concealed themselves, preparing to disappear into the crowd.
However, Uchiha Takashi didn't give him a chance at all. In a flash, he was in front of him. "Where do you think you're going? Go report to the Guard Force yourself."
"Yes..." the captured Uchiha clansman replied dejectedly.
Uchiha Takashi turned around and looked at the two men who were fighting to the death, saying, "Alright, you two pack up, replenish your Chakra, and head to the office."
"Oh"
A little while later, the two people who had just looked disheveled were now dressed in new clothes and came to the office.
At this moment, they weren't the only two there Tatsu Uchiha and Kyō Uchiha were also present.
After exchanging greetings, Uchiha Takashi slowly said, "The main reason I've called you all here today is to announce my latest national governance system."
We have established a new nation, so the old family-style management system is no longer applicable. Therefore, I spent this year specifically researching and developing a new national governance system.
What about the old one?
"The old ones are obviously the ones you go to for a spin... Ugh, I mean, the old ones are obviously the ones you just discard, right? Are you suggesting we can have both the old and the new at the same time?"
Uchiha Takashi coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, and continued, "Regarding this new system, it is not entirely controlled by the Uchiha."
"It cannot be entirely controlled by clan ninjas. I plan to incorporate a large number of educated commoners into these management systems to serve as civil officials."
Upon hearing this, the other four people present all looked surprised, but they didn't say anything. After all, wasn't the Land of Fire governed by commoners? Their ninjas were only confined to their clans.
The reason for the surprise was simply that the clan had always been managed by ninjas, and now that it had been transferred to the national level and needed to be managed by commoners, they were simply not used to it.
After the four had recovered slightly, Uchiha Takashi slowly took out a piece of paper. "This paper is the catalog, which records the new system of Three Administrations and Six Bureaus System. From now on, our Land of Light will operate entirely according to this new system."
After speaking, he gestured to the clansmen beside him to distribute the planning document, handing it to each person to review.
Those seated here are all core members of the Uchiha. Uchiha Takashi is the clan head, Yukimichi Uchiha holds the positions of Second Elder and Military Officer of the Uchiha.
Kyō Uchiha was the Uchiha's affairs officer, Tatsu Uchiha was the Uchiha's internal affairs officer, and Fū Uchiha was the Grand Elder. It could be said that the five people in the office were the very top core of the Uchiha.
As everyone perused the document, Uchiha Takashi continued, "Considering the unique characteristics of our Uchiha Clan and the various requirements of the family, after discarding the old management system, the clan will not operate under this new system. Instead, a new system will be created."
In other words, the new management system will only cover areas other than the Uchiha. Within the Uchiha clan, a new clan management system will be adopted, with the clan head, elders, and various administrative departments in charge of management.
These officials do not participate in the state, nor do they have the right to participate in the state's management. The management of the state is carried out by separate officials, thus separating power and responsibility.
These official positions can be held concurrently, but the responsibilities and rights they perform must be clearly defined, otherwise it will easily lead to management chaos. Do you understand?
Uchiha Takashi looked at the four people below. Except for Yukimichi Uchiha, who looked completely bewildered, the other three basically understood what he was saying.
Especially Tatsu Uchiha, as the direct manager of both the previous and current management systems, naturally understood the serious consequences of unclear division of responsibilities and authority.
A lack of clear division of responsibilities not only increases the workload of clan leaders and elders significantly, but also causes massive management chaos. The Uchiha Clan, for example, was extremely chaotic before its reforms.
Although a new, more efficient management system is now in place, the Uchiha administrators' abysmal management skills mean that the chaos is only less than before.
This newly established operating system incorporates a large number of commoners and members of other educated families for management, thus eliminating concerns that the Uchiha's management abilities would lead to chaos in the country, which is a good thing.
As everyone understood, Uchiha Takashi began to explain.
"It's okay if you don't understand. Let me give you a brief introduction. The Three Administrations and Six Bureaus are: the Inner Council..."
The main members are the country's supreme monarch, the supreme military commander, high-ranking officials from various departments, and officials at all levels, including those in the inner court council.
Its main functions are to oversee all major affairs and directions of the country, the main work of each department, and foreign affairs. In short, all major matters must be decided by the Inner Council before they can be implemented.
The Inspection Bureau the national review and oversight body, staffed with legal officers and inspectors, and its highest-ranking official is the Hengcha Chief.
Its main functions are to review the policies of the Inner Council, reject any problematic ones, and supervise all civil and military officials. Corruption and misconduct by any official must be subject to the department's oversight.
The last one was the General Administration, which carried out the orders sent by the Inspection Bureau. The Six Bureaus were also subordinate to the General Administration.
All government orders are issued by the General Administration to the Six Bureaus for implementation. At the same time, the General Administration is responsible for coordinating affairs among the Six Bureaus and compiling local government affairs reports to the Inner Council.
They also had the responsibility of supervising the Six Bureaus to ensure the timely completion of government orders and assessing the performance of the department heads.
The highest-ranking officer is the chief servant.
After the Three Administrations were explained, the Uchiha clan members present nodded. These three were somewhat similar to the previous Uchiha system, so they were not difficult to understand.
Uchiha Takashi picked up his tea, took a sip, and continued, " The Six Bureaus are divided into the Departments of Personnel, Revenue, Justice, Works, Personnel Bureau, and Rites. The Department of Personnel is in charge of the promotion, appointment, dismissal, and evaluation of officials. The highest-ranking official is the Personnel Bureau, under whom are two Deputy Directors and two Second Directors."
Like the other five departments, the highest-ranking official is the Director, with four subordinates: the Deputy Director and the Second Director. The Second Director's rank is slightly lower than that of the Deputy Directors.
The Household Bureau primarily managed population movement and the national treasury's revenue and expenditure; in short, it controlled population and finances.
The Rites Bureau was primarily responsible for managing national sacrifices and diplomacy, as well as national education and intelligence administration.
The term "Works Bureau ) needs no explanation; just looking at the character tells you what it means. It's responsible for overseeing land construction, such as building city walls, irrigation canals, and farmland water conservancy projects.
The primary responsibility of the Punishments Bureau is to manage the enforcement and maintenance of the law, while also overseeing both law enforcement and judicial powers. The Guard Force is under its jurisdiction.
The Guard Force was responsible for arrests and investigations, while the Ministry of Punishments's main duty was to further review the cases reported by the Guard Force, confirm that there were no wrongful convictions, and ultimately conduct a trial to determine the appropriate crime.
Finally, there was the Military Bureau, which was in charge of troop registration, troop movement during peacetime, garrison sites, armories, and all other military-related matters.
However, it should be noted that the Military Bureau did not have the power to mobilize troops; it only possessed the authority to manage military and political affairs, and did not have the authority to issue military orders.
Military orders are controlled by the supreme monarch and the Inner Council; the Inner Council holds all power over troop deployment, command of operations, and appointment of frontline commanders.
That's about it. I've explained it very clearly, right? There shouldn't be any problems now.
