Seven hundred and ninety-one Guo is a delicate emperor
Everyone is busy.
In the days following the opening ceremony, everyone was engaged in intense and heavy work.
The army must be dispatched, barracks must be built, garrisoned, and personnel must be deployed.
And the civil servants need to do more, to set up a lot of new departments, and new officials and new heads of state need to be put in place.
The entire Shangshutai was broken up and reorganized by Guo Peng, and it was not good to rectify it without ten days and a half months.
The Imperial Historical Observatory and the Staff Desk were relatively stable, with no major changes, but they were also busy transporting materials, reclassifying, and then cleaning up the housekeeping and tidying up their official offices.
Cao Cao resigned from the post of Wei minister and came to Guo Peng's side to serve as the first assistant to the cabinet of his closest confidants.
Although he was excited, Lao Cao felt very tricky in the face of a new and unfamiliar department, and he didn't know where to start for a while.
The Outer Dynasty was chaotic and busy, and no one had time to deal with government affairs, so government affairs began to pile up, and the officials were anxious, only thinking about getting the administrative structure done as soon as possible and starting work as soon as possible.
In the inner court, it was also chaotic and busy, and many things had to be done from scratch.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of Guo Peng's family is not a simple matter.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are unavoidable for everyone, especially the royal family, Guo Peng's family has just lived in the palace, and they need a lot of things, and they are a little scrambling for a while.
This is very "helpless".
So Guo Peng saw that the chaos of the previous dynasty had not yet been sorted out, and his side was in urgent need of manpower, so he announced to the outside world that he had "had to" set up four eunuch institutions for the four aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, which were specifically responsible for serving the royal family.
Guo Peng began to act.
Shang Shan Supervisor, Shang Yi Supervisor, Imperial Horse Supervisor, Royal Prison Supervisor.
As the name suggests, Shangshan supervises eating, Shangyi supervises wearing, royal horses supervise the line, and the royal supervises the residence, and the four eunuch institutions are equally named.
The members of the four institutions are all eunuchs, and the head is called a eunuch, and each supervisor has a eunuch with a palm seal, and two auxiliary young eunuchs, and the general management of the organization is operated.
Through the emergency preparations before and after the founding of the country, Guo Peng also had more than 500 eunuchs, and his manpower was slightly insufficient.
However, considering that the number of royal families is not so large, these manpower is temporarily enough, counting five hundred palace maids, the scale of this thousand people is barely enough for the Guo Wei royal family.
The four eunuch institutions were soon established, and under Guo Peng's manipulation, they quickly began to do things, but soon, Guo Peng found a problem again.
The things used by the royal family had to be purchased outside, and the four prisons went out to buy them, which was not only cumbersome, but also a waste of time, money, and corruption.
So Guo Peng announced to the outside world that a new internal official supervisor would be set up to manage the royal family's funds, as well as an institution for the unified procurement of all materials needed by the inner court.
When this news was released, some officials had objections, saying that the royal funds were also placed in the treasury and allocated by the Ministry of Finance.
Guo Peng patted his head, yes, it makes sense!
The Ministry of Finance is only in charge of state expenditures, and the royal funds allocated by the Treasury are directly transferred to the Treasury and handed over to the internal officials and supervisors to manage expenditures.
Then the number of eunuchs was to be increased, from 500 to 700.
The dissenting official looked confused, completely unaware of what he had done.
The matter is not over, some officials think that the eunuchs are greedy, on the table Guo Peng, the story of the eunuchs who were greedy for wealth when the second emperor of Han Huan Ling admonished Guo Peng, saying that the eunuchs are not enough to believe that if they hold the financial power, they will definitely be corrupt and waste the royal funds, Guo Peng must not ignore it.
They still suggested setting up a Shaofu and letting scholars serve as officials to take charge of the royal finances.
Guo Peng patted his head again!
Right!
Reasonable!
It's easy to embezzle.
So Guo Peng turned around and set up a new department in the cabinet, called the Audit Department, which was in charge of auditing financial expenditures.
Guo Peng stipulated that any financial expenditure in the inner court must be submitted to the audit department through a written report, and how much money was spent and what was purchased must be listed and handed over to the unrelated audit department for review.
From the moment the royal funds enter the treasury managed by the Cabinet Inspectorate, the Cabinet Audit Department is responsible for auditing, and any expenditure and income must be confirmed by the Cabinet Audit Department at the same time, and then the Cabinet Inspector can collect the appropriations, and if something goes wrong, the Audit Department needs to be held responsible.
Then, Guo Peng "further" thought that eunuchs would be corrupt, and other court officials would also be corrupt, so he directly expanded the audit scope of the Audit Department.
Guo Peng ordered the Cabinet Audit Department to also extend the scope of audit to the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Finance's revenue and expenditure, not only the Ministry of Finance itself must keep the record, but the Audit Department must also keep the record.
And whether the problem is found or not, if something happens, the Audit Division will definitely have to sit together.
It's okay not to ask questions, but when you ask questions, there is a new department, and there is another step in doing things.
The new emperor Guo Peng did not intend to do what the courtiers said at all, but willfully set up one new department after another, making the ministers dizzy.
Moreover, the position of the cabinet among the ministers immediately changed from a trusted confidential department to an indispensable and important institution, and the cabinet, which has the power to audit, should not be underestimated.
And this power was also in the hands of Cao Cao, the first assistant of the cabinet, Cao Cao was ordered by Guo Peng to personally grasp the work of the audit department, to be the "guardian of the money bag", a large number of teams of accountants in various departments were transferred to the cabinet audit department, and the importance of the audit department was directly highlighted.
And that's not all.
Not long after, about a month and a half after the founding of the country, in February of the first year of Yande, Guo Peng felt that all aspects of the affairs of the inner court were complicated, it was inconvenient to deal with them, and the information was not transmitted fast enough, so he added a metropolitan governor to the inner court.
The responsibility of Guo Peng's governor was to travel back and forth between the inside and outside of the imperial city, convey the emperor's written orders to the officials, and bring the written feedback of the ministers back to the emperor for the emperor to deal with.
Then where the emperor is going, they must also be vigilant in advance, step on the point in advance, and follow the emperor closely when he sets out, and fight with his life if necessary to protect the emperor's safety.
The people who entered the Metropolitan Governor's Prison were all young and strong young eunuchs with sharp legs and feet, who were specially responsible for interrogation, assumed the role of a microphone, and also facilitated the emperor's high-speed handling of state affairs.
Then by the way, the Shang Bao Jian and the Seal Ribbon Supervisor were set up, responsible for managing, preserving and distributing the treasure seals and seals needed by the emperor and empress and local officials.
Then, because of the use of charcoal and wood for heating and cooking in the palace in this year, it was originally under the supervision of the internal officials, Guo Peng felt that the internal officials supervised too much, so he set up a charcoal supervisor to manage the charcoal and firewood needed by the palace institutions in the inner court, including candles.
Then one day, one of the table tables used by Cao Lan damaged a table corner, and Cao Lan wanted to repair it and use it again, but it was not repaired for a long time when she was instructed.
Guo Peng heard about this matter, and he immediately felt that it was necessary to set up an institution in the palace that everyone could use to repair utensils.
He further thought that the palace needed a weaving supervisor who could undertake the manufacture and repair of all the utensils needed by the royal family, so the weaving supervisor came into being.
Guo Peng ordered the Ministry of Industry to select excellent craftsmen to train the eunuchs and ladies in the palace, so that they could master certain skills in order to better serve the royal family.
For example, making furniture, making gold and silver jewelry, weaving cloth and silk, dyeing cloth, washing clothes, etc., all of these have to be done by people.
The ministers have not yet reacted, Shang Shan Supervisor, Shang Yi Supervisor, Imperial Horse Supervisor, Imperial Supervisor, Internal Official Supervisor, Shang Bao Supervisor, Seal Ribbon Supervisor, Salary Prison Supervisor, Metropolitan Governor Supervisor and Weaving Supervisor, all of a sudden there are ten more eunuch institutions in the inner court, and it takes only a month to start from scratch.
Such a rapid emergence and rapid establishment are all formal departments, and the eunuch departments that serve the emperor are serious, which makes many people at a loss.
For the first time, they knew that serving the royal family needed so many different departments, and so many eunuchs were needed to do it, and the names were all very serious, much higher than the Ling Emperor who engaged in naked swimming pools and ten permanent servants.
They all gave Guo Peng a thumbs up from the bottom of their hearts, feeling that he was really a delicate emperor who lived his life so exquisitely.
What about living frugally?
What about your thrift in the past?
As a result, the number of eunuchs and court ladies in the inner court began to swell, and the expenditure began to swell, causing dissatisfaction among some officials.
For example, Cui Yan, such as Guoyuan, both of them belong to the kind of people who are more upright, and when they saw that Guo Peng had signs of pleasure, they directly went to the table, saying that the new dynasty was established at the beginning of the year, and it should be thrifty.
Well, it's good that you guys look at me that way.
Guo Peng was very satisfied with the fact that the outside world began to speculate that he would start to enjoy himself after becoming emperor.
As long as you don't suspect that I am taking the opportunity to expand the group of eunuchs to defend the imperial power, everything is easy to say.
TM's Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were really ruthless, killing all the eunuchs during the period of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling, and the remaining two or three kittens were destroyed in Hongnong City, and the eunuch group of the Han Dynasty was completely wiped out.
He now has to bother to train some eunuchs who can fight with scholars......
It's not easy, it's not easy, it's really not easy to cultivate a group into an existence that can fight with scholars, and you have to be careful to clamp it down, you can't really let them abuse power.
After all, these eunuchs are really just Guo's own house slaves.
Of course, it's okay for them to bite outsiders, but if they awaken the will of the white-eyed wolf and start eating inside and out, then it's time to do it.
Sometimes eunuchs are not absolutely loyal, and it is not for nothing that there is collusion between inside and outside, and it makes sense to set up a third party.
Therefore, Guo Peng gave the cabinet the right to audit, and this power can not only be used to clean up the scholars in cooperation with the Yushitai, but also to clean up the portal.
However, the cultivation still needs to continue to cultivate, and the organization still needs to continue to organize.
Because compared to scholars, they are still more reliable and cute than their own domestic slaves, at least life and death are in their own hands, and the impact of killing a eunuch is completely different from killing a scholar.
Then after there were so many eunuch yamen, there were some official positions serving the emperor among the original Jiuqing, and there was no need to exist, and Guo's domestic slaves could be competent.
For example, some of the powers of the servants, and also the powers of the Shaofu.
Especially Shaofu.
The power of the Shaofu is related to the emperor's personal financial power, and Guo Peng will not hand over his money bag to a person who can't be trusted.
In the future, he will use his domestic slaves to do many things, such as mining and the like, and the emperor must have money in his hands, not money in the treasury, but money in his own money bag.
So Guo Peng replied to the ministers, the new dynasty was established, and some new atmosphere was needed to show the world, saying that this was the beginning of a prosperous era.
He is also very frugal, but he just has to subdivide the things he does and assign special people to them, so as to better let the inner court serve the royal family.
The reply was dry, the official article, there was no nutrition, which caused concern among the ministers.
They are all worried about whether Guo Peng has become an emperor, or he is full of ambition and wants to enjoy it, and he wants to spend a lot of money to enjoy it, and he doesn't want to continue to forge ahead.
It was at this time that news came from the south, saying that Liu Zhang was the emperor in Chengdu Fengtian and claimed the heir of the Han dynasty, indicating that the Han was not over, and he named Liu Biao as the king of Chu and established the state of Chu in Jingzhou.
The two of them raised banners to oppose Guo Peng's usurpation of the throne, and to call on the benevolent and righteous people loyal to the Han family in the world to crusade against Guo Peng and the puppet dynasty he established.
So the ministers got the opportunity to speak.
