Chapter 157: Three Provinces, Six Ministries, and the Taiwei Mansion
After that, there is the Menxia Province, and the presiding official is called Shizhong, which is actually the same as the Northern Dynasty, but in the Northern Dynasty, Menxia Province plays the role of Zhongshu Province. In Li Xinchen's planning, Menxia Province was not only responsible for reviewing the regulations and making recommendations, but also responsible for formulating national and military policies as a staff officer, which was actually equivalent to the general staff of later generations.
After that, there is Shangshu Province, and the presiding official of Shangshu Province is the capital official Shangshu, who is mainly responsible for coordinating the following six ministries, responsible for handing over news and issuing orders, and at the same time, as the direct leader above the six ministries, has the right and responsibility to preside over the affairs of the six ministries.
Under the province of Shangshu are six departments, which are divided into the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Commerce.
Unlike the six ministries in history, Li Xinchen took out the military department and supplemented the Ministry of Commerce. This is mainly because considering that by the time of the Song Dynasty, the military department had actually existed in name only, and was replaced by the Privy Council. Moreover, since Li Xinchen wants to draw a line between civilian officials and military generals, it is naturally a little unrealistic to put the military department among the six civilian departments.
Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites is not only in charge of etiquette and music, but also in charge of etiquette and education, in other words, the Chengdu College that has been built and the Yuelu Academy, Jinling College and Taixue that are in preparation are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.
The Criminal Department was in charge of the formulation and judgment of the law, and Li Xinchen insisted that the importance of the law should be placed on the same level as morality and etiquette, and Gu Yewang and others could only agree to this.
Needless to say, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry are in charge of the population and the economy, and the other is in charge of industry and engineering construction. The Ministry of Officials is mainly in charge of talent selection and official appointment, which is not much different from history. The key is this Ministry of Commerce, although everyone knows that Li Xinchen still attaches great importance to business travel, and the Xiajiang Tang clan and other Bashu families who play an important role in Li Xinchen's group are actually from merchants, but they still caused controversy.
However, no one can deny the fact that Shangjia is rising with the encouragement of Li Xinchen, so this Ministry of Commerce can be regarded as barely recognized.
Three provinces and six ministries, this is the composition of the official system of the imperial court. At the local level, it is divided into three levels: prefecture-prefecture-county, and each level of state assassin history, prefecture taishou and county order is held by civil officials, which is the same as before.
However, this is only a civil official system, and a separate military attache system will be set up in the imperial court. As before, the presiding officer of the general's affairs in the court is the Taiwei Mansion, but the original Nanchen Sikong Mansion is only responsible for the transmission of war reports, but now Li Xinchen has given the Taiwei Mansion new powers, all the war planning, troop deployment and logistics support, etc., the Taiwei Mansion is the highest responsible person in addition to the emperor, in fact, it is somewhat similar to the Privy Council and the early military aircraft department in later generations, but the status is definitely much higher than that of the Song Dynasty with heavy literature and light martial arts.
Under the Taiwei Mansion are the two generals, the four generals, etc., these official positions from the Han Dynasty wartime grant completely changed to be granted at any time, the generals are ordered by the emperor, undertake orders in the Taiwei Mansion, and garrison various places, but in fact they only have the right to train the army in the place they defend, and the real power to conquer needs to be approved by the imperial court and the Taiwei Mansion.
And the specific arrangements in the army, Li Xinchen also intends to carry out drastic reforms, this is mainly because in the three hundred years of the Southern Dynasties, the army system has hardly changed, resulting in a lot of chaos in the army, not to mention that Li Xinchen has come to this day step by step, these soldiers and horses under his command are not completely recruited, and there are many generals and soldiers, so this leads to the number of soldiers and horses under different generals even have great differences.
This situation was very common in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but Li Xinchen knew very well that this would only further lead to the generals supporting their own troops, and he had to formulate a standardized rule for the entire army, and reorganize and manage the army in a unified manner, especially in terms of ideology.
This is also something that Li Xinchen has to wait to discuss with Xiao Maha and others, and after the reform in the court is completed, it will definitely be the reform of the army, and at that time, the war in Lingnan should have subsided, which is a very good opportunity.
In addition to civil officials and military generals, Li Xinchen also set up the Imperial Historical Observatory, which is not his innovation, the official position of the Imperial Historical Doctor has long been there, but it has been gradually forgotten by people over the years, and one family after another has taken turns to take the position, since the family is sitting in this position, it is here to seize power, and no one will want to have a Imperial Historian next to him every day.
The establishment of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the restoration of the system of the Imperial Historian are to strengthen the supervision of hundreds of officials, and there is a group of people who like to talk and stare at the most, and these officials under them will naturally be more restrained. In addition to the imperial historian, the left and right imperial historians were set up as deputies, according to Li Xinchen's plan, one of the left and right imperial historians stayed in the court, and one was responsible for inspecting the place.
Of course, in addition to these, there are two unique institutions in the court, namely the white robe and the feather forest horse, one is the foreign intelligence agency directly under the emperor, the other is the internal protection and supervision agency directly under the emperor, and it is also the left arm and right arm of the imperial power.
Li Xinchen is not naïve, at this time, he is engaged in any constitutional monarchy in this era, not to mention the germination of all evil capitalism, there is not even a seed, this is naturally unrealistic, so the imperial power still has to be strengthened, and the world is controlled in his own hands before anything else.
Pei Zilie said in a deep voice: "The subordinates have no opinions. ”
The problem that the army has been facing for a long time is that there is no one in the DPRK, and it is actually difficult for a single lieutenant to represent the will of the entire army, and now that Li Xinchen has opened the government with a lieutenant, it is natural that the military has a spokesman in the DPRK who can sit on an equal footing with civilian officials, and from this point of view, the military naturally fully supports it.
Li Xinchen bowed slightly: "You must also grasp the reform strategy in the army, and you must come up with it at the court meeting after a certain accession to the throne." ”
Pei Zilie bowed slightly,
This is not an easy job, ignoring any point may offend people, but fortunately, Pei Zilie now has Wu Mingche's help by his side, and this old man of the former dynasty obviously does not intend to continue to be appointed by the new dynasty, but he is still very satisfied with the position of the military academy given by Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen aimed to establish an academy to cultivate military talents for the new dynasty, and as the emperor, the position of dean must have been held by him, so this dean was actually only in name and honor, and Wu Mingche, the academy affairs, was the real supervisor.
Being able to teach and educate people, Wu Mingche is naturally satisfied.
This is actually similar to Xu Ling's arrangement, Li Xinchen also knows that these old people are old, and naturally they are not willing to get involved in the disputes of the imperial court, and now give them a chance to not have nothing to do and be able to peach the world, they will naturally not shirk.
