199 Supervision and Auxiliary Administration (II)

Apocalypse has always believed that officials need to be supervised, and that there is no effective supervision that depends on the officials' own self-discipline. The supervision of officials is also a help to officials from another point of view, just like a person who wants to draw a straight line must have a ruler to draw, and the ruler is to supervise and assist in the act of drawing a straight line. If anyone says that he can draw straighter without a ruler than with a ruler, and does not need supervision or assistance, the person who says this is not necessarily a liar, but the person who listens to him and believes him must be a fool.

There is still a difference between supervision and auxiliary government, supervision refers to the supervision of the superior to the below, and the supervisor who has the power to stop at any time has the real supervision power, that is to say, the supervisor must listen to the words of the supervisor. Auxiliary government refers to the auxiliary behavior of people of the same level or slightly lower to the ruler, and the opinions of the auxiliary politician do not have to be listened to, but can be listened to or put aside for reference.

Apocalypse believes that a presiding official can play the greatest role if he has an experienced assistant to assist him from making mistakes and detours, and a powerful supervisor to supervise him and prevent him from being lazy. With this in mind, the Apocalypse decided to gradually implement the system of supervision and auxiliary administration, which would not only stimulate everyone's initiative but also effectively control the whole country. Before it was implemented in various places, Tianqi first set up a supervisory court in Beijing, and two more people to help him was one aspect, and on the other hand, it was also an experiment.

On the first day of the establishment of the Supervisory Yuan, after discussing with Liu Zongzhou, Xinwang and others, Tianqi found that he lacked the understanding of the future development direction, and did not know what direction to work in the future. At the same time, Liu Zongzhou also raised the lack of talents, plus the need to consider the issue of effective control of the local area, which made Tianqi feel that this matter was not so simple. However, the apocalypse understands that the system of supervision and auxiliary government must be carried out and must be carried out, and all that is missing is the detailed rules for implementation, and it is enough to mobilize more people and use their brains more.

Sure enough, after careful discussion, King Xin, Liu Zongzhou, Xu Guangqi, Gao Panlong and others finally came to the conclusion that they could gather and use ♀ some people scattered throughout the country, one is because they have meritorious fame, and the imperial court wants to provide them with food and clothing on a monthly basis, and those who take money for nothing do not use it, that is the biggest reason ♀ why some people are available is that they all have a certain amount of cultural knowledge, at least they can read, and they are called together to study for a period of time according to their interests. It is useless to say that it is no problem to follow orders.

Although it is necessary to use people unconditionally, it is still necessary to take a test, and the talents obtained from the test are more reassuring. In the past, the selection of Xiucai from the children, the selection of Juren from the Xiucai, and the final selection of Jinshi from the Juren were all based on a fixed quota, that is, everyone competed. Now there is no fixed quota of talents, the more the merrier, then we can't let people compete with others, just ask to pass ♀ the examination can be some of the talents who pass the examination mainly according to their interests, so that they can learn all kinds of new knowledge in the doctoral college, and the knowledge related to farming, mining, road construction and so on is the most useful.

The experience in the Holy Academy can be learned by idle officials and alternate officials, who are themselves qualified to be officials or have been officials, and it can be said that it is not too difficult to learn these things. Many officials either have no position after Ding Wei's recovery, or they have the qualifications to be officials but there are too many current officials and have to be replaced.

On the issue of supervision, everyone's opinion is that the old way is to send people to the imperial history, and to supervise someone because they don't trust someone, there is no problem in finding someone they trust to supervise him. For the emperor, the trustworthy people are eunuchs and the second is the imperial history, considering that the eunuch supervisor has a bad reputation, so dispatching the imperial history is the only choice.

In fact, many officials now invite such figures as masters, and many of these staff members are people who have no access to officialdom but have rich experience in administration, and the establishment of a system of supervision and auxiliary administration can not only solve the problem of having more officials and no land to resettle, but also make these staff members who originally served the officials' private services become public family members.

Everyone began to discuss after coming in the morning, and after discussing for a while, when everyone was a little tired, King Xin suddenly remembered something and asked the apocalypse: "Brother Huang, how does this prison court work, the younger brother doesn't understand it now, I just heard you say that it can run automatically after the operation is done without worrying about it, can the imperial brother explain it carefully?" ”

Everyone was stunned when King Xin asked this, and after thinking about it carefully, they didn't think it was clear, and they were told left and right by the Apocalypse Bridge, and everyone forgot about it. Now that King Xin mentioned this, everyone came back to their senses, and looked at the apocalypse together and waited for him to give an explanation.

Tianqi also felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it, but he was also happy when he thought about it, this person who didn't know what to think about left and right must be a loyal person. Tianqi thought for a while and said: "This automatic operation does not need to be promoted by people, and now although your departments can cooperate with each other, they are basically promoted by me to immigration, land return, tax payment, sale of titles, and collection of business taxes in the Imperial Court, and the economic review of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, age restrictions, and other things are also promoted by me, and the Holy Academy is established by me, so that you can consider how to avoid heresy and misleading people are also promoted by me." ”

Seeing that Tianqi said this, everyone thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case, and then Tianqi said again: "Even if it is a doctoral college, it was also established by me, and I promoted the use of the people in it in farmland affairs, the centralized translation of new knowledge, and the creation of new cannons∞ so it is not to show how wise I am, but to say that it will not last long for you to need people to promote you like this." Think about it, if I become lazy one day and don't want to think about things, will you just do nothing? Or do you dive headlong into the calendar like the people in the Bo Academy, what is the importance of the calendar? Is there a penny between the disaster of the whole country and the fact that the calendar has not been compiled? ”

Liu Zongzhou thought for a while and asked, "Then the emperor means that in the future, the current Supervisory Yuan will replace you to promote various affairs?" ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Yes, I am just a person, and it is inevitable that there are inconsiderate things in my thinking, as the so-called one person counts the shortness and the others count the long, and use everyone's wisdom to promote the operation of various departments to ensure that it is thoughtful and proper." In fact, you have done a good job during this period of time, and the Government Council has been able to offer advice and suggestions one after another, and when there are officials who do not cooperate or do not cooperate properly, the Metropolitan Procuratorate can also adjust in time, so don't you feel much easier and more effective than before? If there is a self-propelled force, it is perfect. ”

King Xin whispered: "The younger brother still eliminates the imperial brother to do this promotion, and I always feel that the imperial brother is sure that everything will be successful." ”

Tianqi sighed and said: "Now this is just an experiment, if the real experiment is good, it will be promoted and applied below, you can't always let Jingli be so busy and let local officials drink tea and watch dramas every day, right?" Besides, Zhang Xuanzhi and Feng Xuanzhi in the palace are about to give birth, and my wife is going to give birth, so I have to go and see more, right? ”

When the king heard this, he suddenly realized and said: "The younger brother is confused, and he has forgotten such a major event, and when the time comes, the prince and the younger brother will also come to ask for a glass of wine." ”

Several others also expressed their congratulations after hearing this, and Tianqi nodded his gratitude and said: "Where to promote the various departments needs a correct direction, this direction is to start talking about the past and forge ahead into the future, how to connect the needs of the past with the needs of the present, and then get the needs of the future, this is the right direction ♀ we need to look for The right direction is not easy to find, before finding it, let the pre-government office first make plans for the purpose of facilitating the lives of the people, which is also the meaning of those who eat and say that they do not ask ghosts and gods to ask the common people." ”

Over the next few days, people from various institutions followed the will of the Apocalypse and searched everywhere for the future. Everyone began to hear that it was necessary to connect the needs of the past with the needs of the present to find the direction of future development, and they all felt that it was unbelievable and ridiculous, and then when they heard that it was the emperor's will, they immediately said that they would live up to the emperor's trust and share the worries of the king. After about 10 days of visiting various places, some of them even looked through the ancient books they could find, and everyone came up with some different opinions and opinions.

Shin Oh collected opinions from the current local officials, and found that the opinions of each of them differed depending on their age and official position. The people of the official university have said some words of praise and virtue, and the status quo has been maintained for thousands of years, and what has not been said is that it would be best if his son could take over his position, and it seems that the desire of the great official is less but less but fine. The official said that he was lonely and lonely for the official in a different place, and he had no money to take a concubine, and he wanted his wife and children to have a holiday all year round.

Some people also asked some ordinary people for their opinions, they complained about the high taxes, the hardships of forced labor, frequent floods, droughts, and insect plagues, and asked if they could reduce the burden ♀.

The Holy Academy is responsible for finding answers from retired ministers and ancient books, and most of the old ministers in the Holy Academy are people who are favored by the Apocalypse, not to mention that they are happy to be old, and their idea is that one generation is better off than the other, which is easier said than done. Of course, there are also many ancient ideas found in ancient books, such as the Taoist idea of ruling by inaction, which seeks the way of coexistence and harmony; The Legalists rule the country by strict law, and what they seek is to punish the evil and promote the good, and to maintain long-term peace and stability.
