Zhu Youxiao leaned back in his chair and slowly listened to Xu Guangqi's chatter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lao Ziyun, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh. At this moment, Zhu Youxiao has this feeling, Xu Guangqi said a lot of things, and it may be nothing to take out one thing alone, but there is something wrong with so many small things piled up.

It's messy and cumbersome.

However, Zhu Youxiao was not impatient, but listened one by one, and then discussed with Xu Guangqi. The cabinet before the whole August did not do much, except for the usual road construction, there are two major events in total, one is the land reform, the whole has been blocked, and it is currently only put in Hebei for the first time.

The other is the personnel adjustment of local governments, which is the most important task this year. Most of what Xu Guangqi reported was of this type, and the imperial power to the countryside was also included in this category.

In North Korea, Zhu Youxiao adopted the household registration file system, which had not yet been implemented in China at this time, but in the government, it had already begun. All officials and officials must keep a file, one for each person, and then this file will go with the transfer and promotion of officials.

From the highest chief assistant to the lowest clerk, who is a civil servant, everyone has a file that records their past.

"Your Majesty, the old minister feels that there seems to be no need to improve the grade of the county order in this place." As he spoke, Xu Guangqi suddenly had a question.

"Oh, why?" Zhu Youxiao asked curiously.

After all, sometimes military and political leaders cooperate with each other in handling affairs, and the work of procuratorates, courts, and prisons must be coordinated.

"Your Majesty's promotion of governors, prefects, and county orders is for them to control local affairs and better develop the localities, and the cabinet has done the same.

Xu Guangqi explained in detail, "It's just that this contradicts His Majesty's strategy of dividing the power of the local government, although the organization is scattered, but the promotion of half a grade, but the governor, prefect, and county order are no different from before, and they can still interfere in all aspects." ”

Hearing Xu Guangqi say this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but become serious, his demeanor was no longer relaxed just now, his brows were slightly locked, and he kept thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of various systems and their purposes.

Over there, seeing that the emperor paid attention to it, Xu Guangqi didn't listen, but said all the information he had in one breath, "Moreover, many county orders relied on the newly issued documents to take the opportunity to put their hands into Dali Temple and interfere with local judicial trials. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's expression became even more serious.

The reason why he did this at the beginning was to refer to the position of the Political and Legal Committee, but at this time, he suddenly found that unlike the political system in which the party controlled everything in later generations, he did not have an organization that overrode the government, and the government was the largest. The situation that was originally balanced was chaotic because of the half grade he had promoted.

"Yes, there is no party in the Ming Dynasty, this is the biggest difference, remove this, it is the most perfect system, the judiciary and the administration are separated, do not interfere with each other, and each does its own thing." Zhu Youxiao muttered to himself.

"In this case, then the cabinet will follow the order and change these back, in the future, the criminal department will be responsible for the prison, the police department will be responsible for the investigation, and the intermediate supervision and supervision and review and the final judgment will be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and the local government shall not interfere." After figuring it out, Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows and gave a resolute order.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Those are a little .......," Xu Guangqi asked with some uncertainty.

"Let it go for the time being, let's see the after-effects, after all, it's my fault, and I can't let others pay."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just that, in this way, the old minister found that there was something wrong." Xu Guangqi put forward another point of his own, which made Zhu Youxiao slightly surprised.

"Elder Xu Ge, you are here prepared today!"

"Your Majesty misunderstood, it's just that the old minister's work in the past few days has found something inappropriate, even if Your Majesty is a pedantic, but it is inevitable that there are hundreds of secret places, and it is inevitable that there will be some shortcomings." Xu Guangqi said modestly.

"Say, what's wrong, today you and I have a good discussion about the Tao." Zhu Youxiao sat up straight with a solemn expression.

"That's the case, Your Majesty, this Dali Temple trial, after all, the judge is also an official, if it is affected by other things, what if the trial is unfair?" Xu Guangqi asked with burning eyes, he also looked serious, this is the formulation of national policies, once it is determined, it will run for hundreds of years.

"Huh? Elder Xu Ge, didn't the county order hear a county lawsuit before, why did you only find out about this problem now? Zhu Youxiao asked strangely.

"Didn't there be no comparison before, but now that I look at His Majesty's litigation system, I suddenly feel that it was too crude before, so in the spirit of perfection, the old minister found some loopholes." Xu Guangqi smiled indifferently. "Moreover, in the middle of the county order Tanyue this time, the old minister also found such a case, and there were magistrates who affected the trial of Dali Temple, so there was this question."

"That's it! Xu Gelao's attitude, I admire it very much! Zhu Youxiao relieved the doubts in his heart, and he didn't delay, and threw out his thoughts, "How about introducing the jury system?" ”

At that moment, he explained in detail, "Whenever the Dali Temple is in court, 24 people from the local famous race are selected as juries to participate in the trial of Dali Temple. The jury could be a teacher, a merchant, a farmer, an economic official, and so on. They are involved in the whole process, and then supervise whether the judge's trial is fair and procedural. ”

Compared with the jury in the United States, the system set up by Zhu Youxiao does not have such great power, but only plays a supervisory role, and has the right to request a retrial when the trial is obviously unfair and the sentence is extremely inappropriate. Of course, there are a maximum of three retrials, and if there is still a disagreement, the jury is disbanded and the judge is replaced, and the result is final.

"Of course, under special circumstances, the jury can also be omitted, and only the consent of the local county order, Dali Siqing and Du Yushi is required." Finally, Zhu Youxiao added.

"Your Majesty's wisdom, the old minister admires." Xu Guangqi arched his hand and had nothing to say. This system, which not only takes into account fairness and justice, but also ensures the authority of the Ming government, although it seems to be a bit unreliable, but in this era, it is very advanced.

"Don't be a sycophant, if you have any questions, let's talk about them together." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and didn't eat his fart.

"And this one, about ......." Xu Guangqi flipped through his notebook and saw one, but after thinking about it, he still didn't take out this one, but changed it to the following.

In fact, there is nothing to keep secret, but he wrote it down, about some unreasonable points in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but suddenly remembered his new definition of the Examination Division, and his plan to seize some supervision power, so he gently opened it, ready to wait until the matter was a foregone conclusion.

What's more, there are some small loopholes in the departments for officials, and they will be plugged in the future.

"There's not a lot of governance left, just a few others." Xu Guangqi's face changed the topic, and there was no inappropriateness at all, "This is about cement, now that the road construction requests are increasing day by day, I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on Wang Beige alone, so the old minister thinks that the road repair work should be sent down to the local government." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Guangqi raised his head and looked at the emperor, "The cabinet will allocate money, the Ministry of Industry will send technical guidance, and the local government will recruit people to build it, as for the most critical cement production ......."

The words suddenly stopped, and the audience fell silent for a while.

Zhu Youxiao looked at each other, his eyes kept flickering, he didn't believe that Xu Guangqi simply wanted to speed up the progress, this kind of innocence, he lost it after two years in prison. All the actions of the prisoners towards the discipline contain their own interests, and the officials make no difference.

Cement is now a big source of wealth in Zhu Youxiao's hands, especially now that the road is being built, a large amount of money is thrown out, in addition to labor, the biggest expenditure is to buy cement. As for the stones for building roads, they are all free, and they organize people to open mountains and blow up stones.

Now that the agricultural tax is exempted, Zhu Youxiao has borne the biggest expense -- military spending, so the cabinet still has a lot of the millions of taels of silver in his hand last year, but in addition to distributing the money of some officials, these are road repairs. Even, because of the huge expenses you set, and the new collection of commercial taxes, the cabinet did not use enough, and made a plan to borrow 5 million taels from the internal government.

And a large part of this borrowed money is used to build roads, not to mention all kinds of hidden benefits, just to be able to set up cards to charge fees, for the cabinet, timely is a great temptation, in the case of no guarantee of commercial tax, any tax, for the cabinet, is extremely important.

Although the emperor set a very low tax called road maintenance fee, and only allowed carriages, it should not be underestimated.

"I guess someone values this income." Zhu Youxiao said in a low voice, but it happened to be heard by Xu Guangqi.

Who knows, Xu Guangqi didn't care about the emperor's gaze about eating people, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, no one has taken a fancy to it, and no one dares to take food from Your Majesty's mouth." Just ........."

He raised his head, his expression was firm and there was a kind of sacredness, "Your Majesty is willing to let such a divine object be confined to the Jingshi?" ”

"Your Majesty wants to divide the land equally and be the first saint of China for five thousand years, don't you need to pay something? According to the old minister, not only cement, but also the best palace wine and even glass are announced. ”
