Chapter 959: New Administrative Divisions

The appointment of governors was already common in the late Han Dynasty, but at that time, the governors were mainly in charge of the military, such as the famous Eastern Wu governor Zhou Yu.

But now, the so-called military governor has actually handed over all the local military administration to the governor. For example, Wu Mingche's previous position as the governor of Huainan's military was equivalent to handing over the military and civil power of Huainan's various state capitals to Wu Mingche, but this kind of appointment was somewhat similar to the governor of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, after all, it was only used in wartime.

Now Li Xinchen is also managing through this method, such as Luo Ya of Governor Luzhou, Pei Zilie of Governor Xiangyang, etc., but this is not a long-term solution after all, and the politics and military affairs of a region cannot be all in the hands of one person for a long time, and if this position is not established, the local state capital will be scattered.

Therefore, Li Xinchen must consider building a new administrative system, which can also reduce the degree of chaos in local administration to a certain extent.

Taking advantage of the fact that spring plowing has not yet begun, Li Xinchen naturally intends to put this on the agenda.

In Li Xinchen's view, the really appropriate administrative division is, of course, the three-level administrative division system of state-county-county, if it is a two-level division, it will undoubtedly be too finely divided, and the current Li Xinchen does not have the energy to deal with the affairs of each county, so it is still necessary to establish an administrative unit one level higher than the county.

"Bashu, Nanzhong, Hanzhong, Northwest and Xiangyang, our territory is large enough, and it is time to unify the division and management of counties," Li Xinchen said thoughtfully, "especially the internal stability of Bashu, if we divide according to our current counties, then it is difficult to issue the policy step by step, whether it is our cultivation policy or the establishment of money villages, we need to have a complete and reasonable administrative structure of states, counties and counties." ”

Tang Yishun and the others exchanged a look, of course they all knew this problem, Li Xinchen's current rear has stabilized, and it is naturally impractical to continue to use this very unreasonable system.

According to Li Xinchen's thoughts, it is natural that the state-county-county system is the most suitable, which is almost the same as the provincial and municipal system in later generations, but the state assassin history in the Han Dynasty did not have such a large real power, just played a supervisory role, but Li Xinchen did not mind increasing their civil power, but this improvement was only limited to civil affairs, and it was impossible to decentralize all the military power of a state as in the last years of the Han Dynasty.

However, Li Xinchen still wanted to listen to the opinions of the rest of the people, and the facts have proved that an effective top-down reform cannot be just one person's willful behavior, and it is necessary to actively absorb the opinions of many parties, in other words, to ensure that some of everyone's interests can be supported.

Without the support of these courtiers, even if Li Xinchen wanted to reform, he would only find that his decree would not affect the local area at all.

"I think that we are now in a rare period of truce, so it is appropriate to take this opportunity to improve the administrative system." Tang Yishun stood up and said loudly, "But it is not appropriate to carry out drastic reforms, firstly, because we are still short of talents, many remote counties and counties are even managed by one person, and secondly, Xiangyang, Baidi City and Hanzhong are still on the front line, and large-scale reforms at this time are likely to lead to contradictions or chaos between the army and the localities, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of." ”

"Situ (author's note: Tang Yishun's official position, in charge of civil affairs, according to the official system of the Southern Dynasty) is exactly what he said," Yao Cha said in a deep voice, "He pointed out the problem to the point, and his subordinates think that what Tang Gong said is exactly what we need to focus on solving this time." ”

Tang Yishun frowned, and pointed out these two problems by himself, in fact, he wanted to tell Li Xinchen that if he carried out reforms now, it was very likely to bring hidden dangers, after all, now the Xiajiang Tang family and other Bashu families still occupy a high share in local administration because of the early dragon, which is also because Li Xinchen had no one available at all, so naturally he could only grasp the children of these families to supplement them first.

Now Tang Yishun is not sure what Li Xinchen's purpose is in doing this, so he does not dare to ensure that it will not touch the core interests of the Bashu family. With the entry of the southeastern clan and the northern family, the Bashu family will inevitably be unable to develop as unscrupulously as before, but at least the local administration of Bashu is the foundation for them to gain a foothold in this group, if even this is weakened, then the Bashu family will be marginalized.

Ask from the bottom of my heart, the Bashu family and Yao Cha have no enmity in the past, and there is no injustice in the near future, this guy will not make trouble at this time, unless he is instructed by Xu Ling and other southeastern scholars behind his back. Especially Yao Cha, who has always been a man of few words, jumped out so actively to sing the opposite, which made Tang Yishun have to doubt this.

Tang Yishun and the others' subtle changes in expression Li Xinchen also saw it, and couldn't help but smile, whether Yao Cha was sincere or false, it seemed that he had to test it: "Then how does Yao Qing's family think it should be improved?" ”

Yao Cha said in a deep voice: "First of all, the first question, the main reason why there is a person serving as a county governor in several places is that the administrative divisions mentioned by His Highness are really chaotic, many counties are remote and sparsely populated, but the area is not vast, and there are some counties, whose land is intertwined with the surrounding counties, in order to facilitate management, it is reasonable to appoint a person to manage two or three places. So the easiest way to do this is to do away with these unnecessary administrative divisions and merge these two or three counties into one county, and the same applies to counties and states. ”

After a pause, Yao Cha directly took out a copy of the recital from his sleeve: "This is the division method summarized by the subordinates to investigate the administrative system and administrative planning of the Qianliang and Zhou people, and it also includes the suggestions made by the subordinates for the current administrative division of Bashu, and I implore Your Highness to take a look." ”

Li Ping hurriedly went to take the chapter, Li Xinchen opened it and took a look, and the dense writing inside was really detailed. I have to say that Yao Cha was born as a historian, and he does have an innate advantage in tracing history.

Yao Cha continued: "As for the second question, my subordinates think that there is no need to consider it now, although they want to implement a new administrative system, but the feasibility of this administrative system still needs to be observed and tested for a period of time, so we might as well pick out a place to try, so that even if there are any problems in this process, we will have time to correct them." ”

"And Ba County and Hanzhong, which are themselves on the front line, are not suitable for the areas that are not suitable for experimentation, even if they are implemented in the future, we must separate the state capitals on the front line, and all the administrative management of the front line state capital should maintain the status quo to avoid chaos, and we should target the state capital that has been stabilized in the rear."
