Chapter 130: Imperial Power Doesn't Go to the Countryside?

In addition, I took this opportunity to change the administrative division of the road to the system of political envoys. ”

Zhao Huan half-squinted his eyes and said: "Under the political envoy, there will be a government, a prefecture, and a county, and a town under the county, and the town will govern the village, and the term of office of local officials will be changed from every three years to every five years. ”

It was just this opportunity to completely solve the drawbacks of the imperial power not going to the countryside.

Because the imperial power in ancient times did not go to the countryside, in fact, it had a lot to do with the fact that officials were officials in different places and their term of office was only three years-

Whether it is to avoid suspicion or to prevent officials from doing misdeeds in the local area, it is natural to be an official in a different place.

However, in ancient times, there was no Mandarin language, and the so-called official language was only the official official language on paper, even in later generations, there were still a large number of people who could not understand Mandarin?

In ancient times, when there were different customs for ten miles and different sounds for a hundred miles, this situation was even more obvious, and the officials who had just arrived often did not know anything about the local situation, so these officials and lords had to cede part of their rights to the "social elites" in the places where they were officials to help them deal with problems.

That is, the officials and the squires, and the scholars.

Unlike officials, most of the officials were locals, who could speak the official language and communicate with the officials, and they stayed in the same yamen all year round to assist different officials in their offices.

Moreover, officials do not have a salary in the official sense, and can only support themselves through the part of the power transferred by the official.

For example, suppose the official needs to pay 1,000 taels of silver because he does not understand the local situation, does not know who has money and who does not, and does not understand the language. He had to let officials who were familiar with the local situation do the work.

As for how to pay these taxes and silver in the future, how much to pay, and how much the officials put in their own pockets, these officials will turn a blind eye, as long as the officials can pay 1,000 taels on time.

In addition to this, there is another important reason for the extremely short tenure of officials.

On paper, the term of office of officials is changed every three years, but in practice they are transferred every two years on average, so when these officials are local officials, as long as they can ensure the normal collection of taxes and there is no turmoil, these officials and old men are happy to turn a blind eye.

It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that the imperial power does not go to the countryside-

Even if the emperor can grasp the line from the court to the road to the prefecture, state, and county, what about the county?

From the county level down to the specific subdivision, the administrative structure from the township level to the village level is almost the same as that of a place outside the law, and the favorable imperial court decrees are enforced, and useless ones are treated negatively, and it is not uncommon for there to be misinterpretation of government decrees.

Not to mention that the Great Song Dynasty itself is a small court system, and the existence of the buying system is even more convenient for the lazy government of the officials and lords to sing and dance and visit the Qinglou.

Don't think that Zhao Huan can get out a newspaper to solve the problem of the imperial power not going to the countryside.

The sources of the common people in the Great Song Dynasty were either from the storytellers, or from the youngest son of the third son-in-law of the seventh uncle's family, who was a relative of the neighbors, and the ordinary people who could read and buy newspapers were always a minority of the minority.

After all, even those networms who have experienced the baptism of the Internet in later generations are stupid people who have been brainwashed by the crooked ones.

In this case, true and false news are mixed together, and the government's lack of control over the bottom level naturally causes information asymmetry and is easy to be fooled.

It's okay to say that if these people are led astray by others, it's okay to say, but if those who read are also led astray, then the result will be very fucked.

For example, the rolling crooked patients of later generations.

And what's even more fucked up is that most of the crooked patients in later generations can only govern the country with a keyboard, and cannot actually participate in government affairs, and the impact is limited after all, at most, it is to fool more fools into becoming haters of the country.

However, these scholars in the Great Song Dynasty are different, these people are reserve officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and they will have many opportunities to participate in government affairs in the future and have the opportunity to come into contact with all aspects of the Great Song Dynasty.

Once these people are allowed to enter the court, they can really affect the Great Song Dynasty, and the successor emperor will drop the chain again, and that is the real life!

Therefore, Zhao Huan plans to take this opportunity to solve these problems.

Anyway, there are many other officials in the Great Song Dynasty now, so just subdivide it directly, and then cooperate with the social science plan that has started before, and slowly popularize the official language, the small court system will naturally slowly become an imperial system, and the so-called imperial power will naturally become a joke if it does not go to the countryside.

Then Li Gang, Li Ruobing, and Shen Hao found that just after solving a problem, the official family would immediately throw more problems, and the already painful head now became even more painful.

"I'm getting more and more worried, and I feel like I'm going to lose my hair."

Shen Hao reached out and took off his official hat, reached out and grabbed his hair, and then said with a painful face: "Originally, I just said that I wanted to give the little officials below a chance to fill in the blanks after the implementation of the four squares and eight laws, but when the official said this, I always felt that there were more problems." ”

It seems that it is very easy to say anything from the mouth of the official, but when it comes to really planning and executing, it can really worry to death!

It's like this rerouting to the political envoy.

Changing the route to the political envoy department, isn't it the end of the matter if you change the name, should the subordinate prefectures, prefectures, counties, etc. be adjusted?

If you add a series of problems such as the official system mentioned by the officials, even if the plan is made, if you want to really implement it, you won't be able to solve it in a year or two!

"Fortunately, the official family did not want to implement it nationwide, but first piloted it in Gansu Province."

Li Gang was also full of pain, and even had the urge to enter the palace with Wuxin after cutting: "But ...... candidate for the Gansu political envoy?"

As soon as Li Gang's words fell, Li Ruobing and Shen Hao also fell silent together.

According to the official statement, the Gansu political envoy is obviously different from the other roads of the Great Song Dynasty, and this political envoy is likely to be the highest administrator of Gansu at that time, and how to choose this candidate has become the biggest problem now.

It's definitely not okay to casually get someone in the past, after all, it's a newly recovered land, and it's a pilot of the Great Song Dynasty reform, in case the past is a waste, and when the time comes, there will be a bunch of messy things, wouldn't it be a big deal?

Even if we take a step back, the people sent over are not sand sculptures, and they have not caused turmoil everywhere, but as long as the Jingkang New Deal cannot be implemented intact, and the rest of the Great Song Dynasty cannot see the benefits brought about by the reform of the Gansu Political Envoys, it will be a failure.

"Qin Huizhi is quite suitable, but he is trapped in Fengsheng Prefecture again, and it is impossible for him to go to Gansu."

Li Ruobing frowned and said, "Most of the people in the DPRK are busy, it seems that it is not appropriate to send anyone over?" ”
