sweeping the world

Chapter 919 On Entrustment

The matter of restructuring has been approved by the king to the core officials, and those who are not qualified to participate in the discussion have to admit it even if they have any opinions.

From the system of Sangong Jiuqing to the system of three provinces and six ministries, the middle and lower level officials have not suffered any damage. On the contrary, the room for advancement has greatly increased, and it is too late to rejoice, and there will be no opinions.

It is the core executives who are damaged by the system reform.

The civil servants no longer have a boss who can stick to their word, and the prime minister's authority has been divided into three parts. At the same time, the authority of the imperial envoys has been further refined, and other major departments have been split up even more.

The military is not without damage.

The general is designated as the first rank, but there is only one general, and he can suppress the No. 1 civil servant in terms of rank, but the military's right to speak was greater than that of the civil servant system before.

The greatest impact on the military was the establishment of the Six Ministries, among which the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry directly robbed some of the rights and resources that belonged to the military. Under the management of the government, it means that the standing army organized by the general's government can no longer obtain supplementary troops from the county and county military system at will.

The General's Mansion is now a department where the generals have the final say. Liu Yan regards this department as a sharp weapon for foreign conquests, and the Ministry of War exists as the staff department of later generations. It means that the General's Mansion is responsible for fighting, and the Ministry of War is planning wars.

Huan Wen already knew that he would serve as Minister of the Ministry of War and Zhongcheng of the General’s Mansion at the same time. After studying for a long time, he found that the powers of the Minister of the Ministry of War and Zhongcheng of the General’s Mansion were basically the same. The boss of the independent department.

"I haven't heard of anyone continuing to serve as General Zhengnan." Huan Wen asked Xie An in a low voice, "Where is An Shi?"

Xie An will also step down as General Zhengxi later and be transferred to be Minister of the Household Department, but he will no longer serve as a military officer.

The two general positions of General Zhengnan and General Zhengxi will be vacated later.

Zhengnan Zhonglang will be in charge of the war in Asan Continent.

However, in the short term, there will not be any major wars in the Asan Continent. Zhengnan Zhonglang will not so much direct the war in the Asan Continent as he will monitor the surrounding countries, but also supervise the various princes and feudal states.

The Western Regions will set up the Anxi Protectorate Mansion, and the highest officer will be the Protector. While cleaning up the remaining enemies, the Protector will also be responsible for handling all kinds of frictions or wars.

Protectorate is not a newly invented official position. It has been established in the Western Han Dynasty. According to the definition at that time, the rank ratio was two thousand stones, that is, the treatment under the Jiuqing, which was at the same level as the county captain in China.

Nowadays, the guardians of the Han Kingdom are ranked as military generals of the third rank, which is half a rank lower than the rank of general, and higher than the county captains in China, who are designated as the fourth rank.

"The west will adopt a relatively defensive position in the future." Xie An is no longer in charge of fighting against the west. It will take time to clear away the remnants of dissatisfaction."

"It would be reasonable for Si Hongzhuang to go to the Indochina Peninsula early to serve as the captain of Pingman's captaincy department and Zhengnan Zhonglang." Huan Wen didn't make any effort to avoid suspicion on this matter. Who is the protector of the Protectorate Mansion?"

"Li Kuang." Xie An also did not recommend Li Kuang, also to avoid suspicion: "An Neng successfully recovered the Western Regions, thanks to Chengji's help."

That is, the original two deputy ministers have stepped up, which is considered a planned succession, which means that at least some of the previous policies will not undergo fundamental changes.

Li Tan and Lu Tai were also talking about their own affairs.They will still be generals at the level of "Zheng". The difference is that Li Tan was transferred from General Zhengbei to General Zhengdong, and Lu Tai, who was originally General Zhengdong, took up the post of General Zhengbei.

The level is not changed, but the title is changed. It seems that there is no change, but in fact the change is very big.

That was confirmed by Liu Yan early in the morning. No official can stay in one position forever, no matter whether it is a general or a civil servant, they are generally at the same level. In the case of Lu Tai and Li Tan, each The county guards, county magistrates, various divisions, and various cao will also be mobilized, and the same is true for the counties.

The reassignment is once every four years, and it is not mandatory to be reassigned, but the longest consecutive term shall not exceed three times, that is, the longest term of employment in a position (locality) is 12 years.

The 13th year of Yuanshuo will be a very busy year. If there is no system reform, some officials who have not been transferred in the previous two times will be transferred this year.

At the same time, the 13th year of Yuanshuo will also be the year of the big exam.

Whether the generals in the military have completed the task, what is the degree of completion, or simply failed to accept the task, all will be verified this year. Those who should increase their merits will naturally increase, and those who should be demoted or even lost their positions will also be verified. deal with.

The assessment of the civil service system is aimed at all the staff of the Shaofu and the county level. Basically, it is transferred from county to county. Officials who have achieved excellent results as officials in the local area will be transferred to the central government.

The court discussion is still going on, and the person who is speaking is Lu Yi.He briefly introduced the mountains and rivers of the Asan Continent just now, and then talked about the current governance of the Asan Continent.

The Han army conquered the Jitanata and Gupta dynasties, and the land of the two countries naturally became Han land, but it does not mean that the Han people really completely controlled all the land. Many areas are actually autonomous by the high castes of Asan status quo.

When Huan Wen led the army to conquer the Asan Continent, it was not an absolute policy of iron and blood. The surrendered Asan was incorporated, and some administrative regions were also nominally belonged to the Han.

The self-governing Asangao caste obeyed the national policy of the Han state, but retained management rights, and what was needed was to pay tribute.

From pre-Qin to Western Han and Eastern Han, Zhuxia did not have a policy of confinement. During the war, Huanwen could be submissive to Asangao caste. Waiting for the overall situation to be determined, there will naturally be no such thing.

"I think that since the other land is divided into feudal territories, it is up to the lords and lords to decide on their own." Lu Yi, whether he is a Dianke or the incoming Minister of Rites, is qualified to make suggestions with that right: "This law conforms to the law." The policy of the first king."

The Marquis is naturally the Marquis, and the "Lord" is added because he has his own Marquis.

The lord is more just as the name suggests, titles below the marquis are not eligible to establish a country, and the fief is only a fief, so it is naturally a lord.

When the land is subdivided, it is natural for the person who is subdivided to decide what to do with the land.This is a strategy that imitates the enfeoffment of the Zhou royal family.

The enfeoffment of the Zhou royal family at the beginning was far more cruel than that of the Han Dynasty this time.

When King Wu of Zhou divided up the fiefdoms, except for the original commercial land, the vassal states of the same camp were still his own. There was no extra land to be entrusted with meritorious ministers, so he could only focus on the alien race and find a map to draw a picture. Circle and say "here belongs to you".

Whether the hero can snatch the land from the foreign race can only rely on his own strength, or have some powerful buddies to help, don't expect the country to send troops to help fight it down.

Liu Yan is now going to enfeoff with different surnames, which will benefit even the fifth-level doctors. The land will be divided, and if he can manage it well, he will continue to be his own lord or lord. If he can't manage it well, he will take the land as state-owned ,.It is up to Liu Yan to make up his mind whether or not to entrust them out again.

The reality is like that. Since it is all their own property, it is only in terms of gathering management rights, and it is not the invasion of other countries. Who has the face to ask the country to contribute money and troops.Even if you have the face to ask, the reply you get will only be to be asked whether to return the fief to the country.

After Lu Yi finished speaking, all qualified ministers came out to second the meeting.

In fact, this has no effect on the powerful ministers of the family, and even wished that the national power would not interfere too much.

Those who really feel miserable will be those who have been conferred but do not have enough strength, such as some people who have only recently received the title of doctor. They have just been promoted to the title and have received the treatment they deserve from the state distribution, but the time is too short at all. Too late to accumulate.

In the Han Dynasty, after becoming a doctor, he was eligible to receive a salary from the government every year, and at the same time, the house, fields and servants were distributed in one go.

For a doctor, it would be good if he had a large number of clansmen, and he could also accept his relatives as retainers or warriors.

If you become a doctor but have no relatives, no one dares to casually accept people who don't know their background as retainers or family warriors.

There is a limit to the number of a doctor's retainers and family samurai, one retainer and ten samurai are the limit.

After accepting people, as the head of the family, you must give them treatment, and there are always benefits during the holidays and so on. The cost is really low.

There are many old-fashioned doctors, needless to say, those who are in the army, and those who are not in the army can organize slave hunting teams. The main reason is that relying solely on land output cannot sustain consumption at all, and must create income.

The decision-making class, including Liu Yan, is not ignorant of which group of people a policy decision will bring difficulties to. The problem is that in many cases, there is no perfect thing at all, and even behind a policy is an eliminated process.

It is naturally not Liu Yan's job to enact policies that may cause damage to certain groups. Ministers should stand up and take responsibility at this time.

All the ministers seconded the proposal together, which is to express the attitude of all high-level officials standing in the same camp. It is not only taking the blame for the king, but also implying that the damaged group should stop appealing, and appealing will be useless.

With the continuation of the policy since ancient times, and the endorsement of the resolution by all high-level officials, the matter is actually completely settled.

With the basic policy in place, the next step is to understand the geography of the enfeoffment areas.

As for the substantive enfeoffment, it would be fine if there was no proclaiming emperor ceremony. Liu Yan wanted to proclaim himself emperor, and the rewards that should be promulgated this year have been postponed.

The postponement of the reward this time is actually a good thing for those who are about to receive the reward. As usual, when Liu Yan proclaims himself emperor, he needs to express it. class.It is equal to a rare great progress in the title, the emperor is happy, and everyone is happy together.

As time passed, the sun changed from rising sun to sunny day.

The patio in the main hall was illuminated by sufficient sunlight, a bell was rang, and all the officials stood up and walked to the right path, saluted Liu Yan on the throne neatly, and then walked towards the side hall in an orderly manner.

The court meeting of the Han family has a very humane setting. The meeting will stop when it is time to eat. The emperor will not order someone to bring a bowl of millet porridge to show his kindness, but will prepare food in several side halls. It is divided into a place for high-ranking officials, and then arranged according to the number of people.

Even eat lunch?The three meals a day have always been divided into rich or not, regardless of the specific age, and eating only breakfast and dinner does not belong to the noble class. As long as the financial resources are sufficient and not so extravagant, eating dozens of meals a day does not hinder anyone.

"Prime Minister." Liu Yan specially recruited Ji Chang and Xu Zheng to have a meal with him. Naturally, each of them had a table, not a table together: "Taiwei."

The two put down the tableware and made a gesture of listening to Liu Yan.

"Liu Shen is nine years old during Chinese New Year, and the enlightenment stage is over." Liu Yan also stopped eating, in line with the etiquette norms of mutual respect between monarchs and ministers: "I want to choose a teacher for Liu Shen, do you two have any suggestions?"

Ji Chang didn't hesitate too much, and recommended himself: "I think it's suitable."

Xu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said respectfully: "I also recommend myself."

That's what Liu Yan originally meant. Let Ji Chang be Liu Shen's literature teacher, and Xu Zheng teach martial arts, which is a clear signal to the country and abroad that he intends to make Liu Shen the crown prince.

In the past, it was just a king, and there was no urgency to establish a crown prince. Once Liu Yan became emperor, he could no longer leave the storage space empty, especially when the princes were getting older every year. It is understood that Liu Yan encouraged the princes to compete.

For a long period of time in Zhuxia, there was no so-called rule of succession by the eldest son, but the rule that the sons of the virtuous and capable inherit the great line.This is directly related to the extremely bad surrounding environment of the country. Naturally, he should choose virtuous heirs, otherwise the eldest son is a fool and the country will perish in minutes.

The rule that the eldest son inherits the great rule was formed in the Eastern Han Dynasty. That is because the countries around the Eastern Han Dynasty could not threaten Guozuo at all. At the same time, because the Eastern Han Dynasty was an environment of the political system of the wealthy clan, the wealthy clan still wished for the emperor on the throne. What a fool.

"It's so good." Liu Yan showed a satisfied expression, indicating that the two can have a meal and communicate over and over again, and then said: "Is there a list for the entrustment?"

Ji Chang naturally answered "yes", and then he didn't start to read the name, but roughly said which title made what kind of choice, whether to seal it when he went out, or choose to keep the fief at home.

It is the result that Liu Yan could have predicted that all the Marquises chose to go out and seal them. It is impossible for them to give up the possession of the Marquis, but the people will stay in the center, and the Marquis will be handed over to the family to manage.

Below the marquis, [-]% of the people are willing to go out and seal, and the remaining [-]% choose to stay in the country, especially a large number of doctors choose to stay.

"It's a problem of insufficient money." Liu Yan knew it was because of that, and nodded: "That's fine."
