The Xue family, who was quiet in grief, welcomed a distinguished guest, and the official family personally came to mourn, which was a supreme honor for the courtiers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Many ministers of the DPRK and China also came one after another, and they were greatly surprised when they saw Zhao Zhen, and hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Although Xue Yan was the secretary of Guanglu Temple from Sanpin before his death, he had never been out of the country and did not take up an official position in Beijing, and the people who came to mourn were all his subordinate colleagues and past relatives and friends of Guanglu Temple.

Now they saw that the official family also came to the Xue family to offer condolences, and they couldn't help but be curious.

Zhao Zhen walked to the spirit in front of everyone's eyes, and as the king of a country, he said loudly: "Although Xue Qing has not lived in the capital for a long time, his exploits are obvious to all. He personally understood the feelings of the people, quelled the rebellion, provided relief to the river workers, stopped labor, and avoided the suffering of the people.

I look at all kinds of political achievements, I sigh all night, but the sky is not a holiday, but such a capable minister and official sleep with this, I came to sacrifice it. ”

Among the officials who mourned, there were different expressions, some envious, some excited, and some noncommittal, but no matter who they were, their eyes revealed deep surprise.

Zhao Zhen walked towards the study under the guidance of Xue Xiang, the most important purpose of his visit this time was to get the experience of Xue Yan's writing, which were the precious wealth that Lao Siqing had accumulated over the years.

The wooden study room was full of the pungent smell of camphor, which made people a little uncomfortable, Xue Xiang saw Zhao Zhen frowning slightly and quickly explained: "Later, Rong Chen will open the window for ventilation first, this study is the favorite place of the family, the collection of books is quite rich, and only camphor can be used as a frame to eliminate insect pests. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "It's okay, you let go of the window and door, and I will go by myself." ”

The four treasures of the study room are neatly placed on the desk of the yellow rosewood, but there is no water in the pen wash on the side, even if Peng Qi, who has become the commander of the front division of the palace, is still waiting by Zhao Zhen's side, I don't know if he is really loyal or doesn't want to see those dense official documents.

casually picked up the pamphlet on the table and flipped through it, Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, the content of this pamphlet was the local governance experience he had compiled when he let Xue Yan live, the language was concise, concise and concise, and one sentence could point to the point.

Zhao Zhen read quickly, and when he read the incisive place, he was hooked: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Xue Qing is worthy of being my powerful minister of the Great Song Dynasty! Such an article is not only well-written, but also rare is to concisely explain the essence of local management, although each sentence is less than a dozen words, but can point to the source! ”

Xue Xiang bowed with red eyes: "Xie Guan's family!" This codex was written by the grandfather for a whole year, and even before his death, he told the ministers to be sure to sort it out, and the grandfather told him that if he could enter the eyes of the official family, he must say a word to the official family! ”

Zhao Zhen closed the codex and asked in surprise, "What words?" ”

"The codex that the official family looks at is the result of adapting measures to local conditions, and it must not be forced to do it, and the people's customs in various places are very different, just as the orange is orange in the south, and the orange is orange in the north, and it must not be rigidly copied, otherwise there will be all kinds of harm and no benefit!"

Zhao Zhen sighed: "Yan Siqing is really thoughtful, I have seen it today, and I can't wait to talk in detail in person." ”

The huge wooden box on the side attracted Zhao Zhen's attention, and he pointed and said, "What's in here?" ”

Xue Xiang opened the wooden box with a sad face, and there was a neat manuscript inside, "This is the essay of the master when he was an official in various places, and it is also the reference of this codex. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at the wooden box in shock and then looked at the small codex in his hand, but he didn't expect Xue Yan to spend a year sorting it out in order to make it easier for him to read. This is simply an impossible task for a seriously ill old man.

If it weren't for such a large workload, maybe Xue Yan wouldn't have died in just one year after returning to Beijing.

Peng Qi's eyes on the side turned red, and even a fighting man like him was moved by Xue Yan's spirit.

"If every local official can have half of Xue Qing, why don't I worry about the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Zhen picked up the codex and put it in his arms carefully, and sighed.

The preciousness of the Codex not only expounds Xue Yan's experience, but also mentions the inadequacy of the bureaucracy and the chaos of local administration.

In response to this situation, Xue Yan put forward a more detailed plan, which is almost the same as the responsibility system of later generations, liberating the prefect and governor from tedious work and turning it into supervision and general responsibility.

The local official system of the Song Dynasty basically followed the old system of the Tang Dynasty in the early stage, and the administrative organs were divided into two levels: prefecture and county, but in order to centralize power, the post of Taishou and county order was abolished, and it became the prefect and the county governor.

This caused an obstacle to the local management of the Great Song Dynasty, and Xue Yan's codex clearly proposed that the local yamen should realize the responsibility system, and the prefect and county affairs should be in charge of the overall situation, so that the local government can be efficiently managed.

Xue Yan's views coincided with Zhao Zhen's plan, and the public procuratorate and law in later generations cooperated with the municipal administration of the local government.

Moreover, in order to balance the local governors and realize the centralization of power, the Great Song Dynasty also set up the product of the chicken ribs of the general judgment, don't look at his status below the prefect of the prefecture, but the power is very large, and the government of the state government is all dominant! In the local area, there are often cases of the governor and the general judge participating in each other's affairs.

How do the first and second leaders manage the place well?

On the second day, Zhao Zhen announced a slight change in the local government system.

"I and Ding Xianggong yesterday condolences to Xue Yan of Guanglu Temple, many ministers have seen me, in Xue Qing's study I occasionally have gains, you all know that Xue Qing has been the governor of the state government for a long time, and his reputation is outside, and he was called the blue sky by the local people, Xue Qing left a codex on his deathbed, concisely and concisely said the experience of local officials, today you and I will take a look!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he waved his hand to Sancai and sent the codex that he had sent someone to copy overnight.

The civil and military officials in the Zichen Hall had a copy in their hands and began to flip through it, Kou Zhun glanced at Ding Wei and was secretly surprised in his heart, why did the official family start to get so close to Ding Wei? Do you want to promote him, who is already the third envoy?

For half an hour, except for the occasional sound of flipping through the codex in the Zichen Palace, all that was left was the repeated sighs of the officials.

Xue Yan's Codex is really well written, summarizing the situation in each state well, and there is no shortage of mouth-watering proposals.

Lu Zongdao finished reading the class and said: "Qi Qi official, the minister thinks that Xue Siqing's codex can be a lesson for local officials!" ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Lu is not in a hurry to participate in politics, Xue Siqing left a sentence for me when he was dying, orange is orange in the south, orange is orange in the north, and orange is orange in the north, adapting measures to local conditions is the law of all goodness, I also drafted a codex last night, you will read it and talk about it." ”

Zhao Zhen's codex was sent down, which was his fine-tuning of the local government system according to the situation of the Great Song Dynasty and Xue Yan's codex.

Many courtiers nodded their heads again and again.

In fact, in the Great Song Dynasty, the public procuratorate and law all existed, but they were included in the state capital yamen, and what Zhao Zhen did was to separate them and supervise each other.

Kou Zhun came out of the class and said: "The plan of the official family is excellent, but in this way, what is the use of the state capital?" ”

The ministers were awakened by his words, yes, this is tantamount to emptying the rights of the prefect, which is the last thing the civil officials want to see.

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Zhun strangely and said: "I don't understand what Kou Xianggong said, doesn't the prefect of Zhizhou have nothing else to do except arrest thieves and deal with disputes?" Isn't it all about building water conservancy, inspecting people's livelihood, supervising subordinates, and strengthening the state government's defense?

We have made up our minds, starting from Kaifeng Prefecture and gradually implementing it to all localities, and the survey and grinding system of local officials must also be changed, considering the economy, people's livelihood, stability, river work, etc. under their rule. Those who excel should be promoted, and those who are slack will be demoted and dismissed! ”

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he didn't give the ministers a chance to object, and he didn't leave, and Sancai shouted in a special tone: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”
