Zhao Gou's second move is the integration of officials.

He also used this trick at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the effect it can play does not need to be repeated.

The civil and military officers below all squeaked, and it was difficult for them to understand the pros and cons of the first move for a while, but for the second move, they knew the benefits.

This official division began in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties for two reasons: first, the centralized system was stable and unchanging, and the majesty was lost; Second, local powers are in their own hands, and they are not stopped.

In the war-torn Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the masterminds of the various separatist regimes could only make reluctant compromises in the face of this practical difficulty, which eventually led to the birth of the "separation of officials" system.

For those kings who divided the political power and the local family lords, such a system could be regarded as a good way to maintain political power, and provided a very basic and effective system for the human, material, financial, and power they needed.

By the time China once again appeared as a unified dynasty, hundreds of years had passed, and the division of officials had already been deeply rooted.

Officials naturally want to be officials, but there are only a few officials who can become officials. How many landed households have become the tigers of this department because of the authority of a 'small official'. is like Song Jiang in the Water Margin, black and white take it all.

Zhao Gou's current second trick seems to be beneficial to the officials, but in fact, there are great drawbacks to it. At least then the officials will be allowed to do what the officials are asking them to do. Of course, it is not the same as all the officials, Zhao Song's officialdom avoidance system is not only to avoid their own nationality, but also to avoid those who are not native but have real estate. In the sixth year of the Northern Song Dynasty, there was an edict stipulating: "Although the county is far away, there are no more than 30 posts." "The approximate number is a thousand miles.

The new recusal system of Zhao Gou is even stricter, and the children of those who are currently officials above the fourth rank are not allowed to take the imperial history; Fathers and sons, uncles, and brothers are not allowed to work together, and those with low official positions are transferred to another post if they are evaded. Later, a new supplement was made, and the scope of kinship related by blood was further expanded to include relatives by marriage, such as the father and brother of the mother, the father and brother of the wife, the son-in-law and nephew of the mother, and so on.

Naturally, being a small official does not need to be so strict, but after serving for five years, he needs to be transferred, and there are many positions in the yamen. Those who have served for more than ten years and cannot climb the official character need to communicate to other counties.

After reading this series of rules and regulations, many ministers have very complicated feelings about the person above their heads, and they really don't want to leave any loopholes.

Nine times out of ten, after this trick was made public, it would not please both sides, and the officials and doctors would not be satisfied, and the officials would not be satisfied.

"Loneliness is happy in everything, but there are some things that involve the fundamentals, and you can't let go of an inch, so you can only do what you can." This point, Zhao Gou is extremely resolute, he is now in power, even if the people below do not support it, he has to forcibly push it.

Once such a system has been achieved, it will be rolled out throughout the country, and the effect will be unparalleled. After the political power penetrates to the grassroots level, the ability of society to organize and mobilize will be raised to a higher level, and the efficiency of resource utilization, the speed of mobilization, and even the internal consolidation and patience will be difficult to match with the previous system.

Look at the strength of the Qin Dynasty, the conquest of hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn, and the millions of people at every turn, how can the social organization be so strong that it can be compared with the two Song, Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations?

Even if the two Han Dynasty inherited a certain Qin system in a sense, especially the Western Han Dynasty, the strong social organization could also beat future generations.

Zhao Gou never expected himself to be able to reach the point where he would be four or nine years later, when the rabbit controlled the common people and peasants too desperately. But as long as it can be restored to a certain extent to the Qin and Han dynasties, Zhao Song's strength can be qualitatively improved. People can't be ambitious, so we must first set a small goal.

But if we want to achieve this small goal, the first thing to do is to change the administrative structure of the government.

A thousand years have passed, and the administrative structure below the county level is too different between the Qin and Han dynasties and the current Zhao and Song dynasties. Relying only on the current officials is not enough to complete Zhao Gou's vision.

Therefore, just like the central court of the imperial court, Zhao Gou also made drastic changes in the pilot counties beyond recognition.

First of all, in addition to the county magistrate, county magistrate, county lieutenant, and chief book, there is also a member of the canonical history and a member of the teachings.

This canonical history is no longer the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the tax officer of a county, and the teaching is a scholar official, who holds the temple of literature and worships and educates the people of a county, and is responsible for the education of the county, the construction and management of Mongolian schools in the territory, and the popularization of basic education such as literacy among the people, and no longer only focuses on the county school.

At the same time, the county lieutenant also took the judicial power of criminal names from the hands of the chief bookkeeper at the same time as he was promoted to the third class of officials. To a certain extent, it is equivalent to depriving the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the chief secretary of the county of the right to directly intervene in the judicial punishment, and the weight of the county lieutenant has been significantly improved.

This is real power!

In the Tang Dynasty, the county lieutenant personally took care of the general affairs, divided the public Cao, cut off the pursuit, and transferred the collection rate, and was specifically responsible for the official affairs of a county, and his duties included various aspects such as administration, justice, and finance. By the time of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the county lieutenant became the director of the public security bureau, and only the right to public security and anti-theft was left, and there was a mother-in-law on his head.

It's only now that I can raise my eyebrows.

In the past, the inspections at the same level as the county lieutenant were also included in the county lieutenant's subordinates.

The Qingfeng Village where Xiao Li Guanghuarong is located in the Water Margin is actually called the Qingfeng Inspection Division, and the Zhao Song Dynasty in the official history, the official of Zhizhai is only located in the border military area. For example, there are many military villages on the border between Kansai and Western Xia, and the chief official is the Zhizhai. Inland places are all inspection divisions, just like Guan Sheng's Pudong inspection division. In the past, the inspection was at the same level as the county lieutenant, but now the inspection is officially included in the county department.

At the same time, the county also got the power of money and grain from the main book, and the power of the main book became less and less after the Sui and Tang dynasties. He became an official who managed miscellaneous matters such as money and grain and justice, and now that the judiciary belongs to the county lieutenant and the money and grain belong to the county governor, the responsibility of this master book has become supervision.

There is also a royal history platform in the court, and the main book will become the imperial history in the county-level government.

This really cut off a lot of the authority of the magistrate, but even so, the magistrate is still the unshakable first person.

Zhao Gou set up six rooms under the county government, each of the six rooms had a warden, and there were several priests and scribes, and the number of people in the six rooms was different. Because you can't ask for the same number of officials in the torture room that is only responsible for recording, reporting, and storing case files as the workshop in charge of sericulture, weaving, building temples and halls in the county, building water conservancy, minting silver, destroying money, etc., right?

The change of the upper position also involved the level of authority of the six houses, which must have made some officials unhappy, but they could not stop it at all.

At the same time, there is also a sending and receiving room responsible for registering and receiving official documents, documents, transcription lists and other affairs; Responsible for the management of the treasury of the county treasury, headed by the treasury ambassador; The warehouse ambassador who is in charge of managing the granary, the post man who is in charge of postal transmission and delivery, and the medical officer who is in charge of the medical affairs of the county.

Even in the township, the officials of the public office are set up, and it is also according to such a big framework. Of course, some unnecessary departments will be cut as appropriate, such as the treasury and granary, which are all in charge of the deputy of the township seal officer.

It is equivalent to the county clerk and the master book in the county office.

The planning of a county is so meticulous that everyone feels the huge force that is coming. Unstoppable, unstoppable. King Yan didn't know how long he had been thinking about it in his heart, and they couldn't stop it.

But so many officials gather in one go, and there are as many officials in a county, which is really difficult for people to grasp. It is even more difficult to grasp how much these people will spend a year and whether a county's finances can support it.

Someone immediately asked about it, and in the hearts of Confucian students, it is not a good thing to have more officials. Many people present subconsciously thought that if there were too many officials, the people would suffer.

"It depends on the distribution of taxes between the central and local governments."

In this way, it is the source of the birth of a hot topic that is discussed by the people in Bianliang City.
