Seeing that the apocalypse made fun of himself, King Xin said: "The courtiers think that it will be fresh to change it, because it will make people feel bored to read those submissions with similar meanings every day. Brother Huang or carefully talk about how to change it, I believe that the tall adults also want to know ‰ remember the URL of this site:. ”

Apocalypse said, "I had some of these thoughts a long time ago, but my decision to implement them was related to what happened to the tall adults this time. ”

Gao Panlong asked: "Does the emperor think that the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not handle the matter well this time?" ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "You went to Shaanxi and Nanzhili this time to understand the situation, and when you came back, you reported that the reason why there was an accident in these two places was because they felt that it was unfair and lacking people, of course, you also know that this is a superficial phenomenon. Before you go out, you analyzed one reason, that is, they want a certain amount of financial power, but there is another reason that you have not analyzed, that is, they still want to use people's power. ”

Gao Panlong and Liu Zongzhou glanced at each other, then looked at King Xin, who was slightly surprised, and then looked back at Xu Guangqi, who had a calm face, thought about it and asked: "The minister heard them say from top to bottom that there is a shortage of people, and what Lord Yang Lian Yang heard is mainly that some people think it is unfair, and there are also complaints about the profit cap system and the regulations on the age limit of officials' grades, and of course they have also said that some people are not enough. No matter how I thought about it, I didn't hear that they meant to use **, where did the emperor deduce it? ”

The Apocalypse says: "It is not necessary to infer from their words, but to see the essence from certain superficial phenomena." In the past, only a small part of the tax revenue received by the household department was left, and there was not much left to repair the place that should be repaired after the official money was paid, and it is said that in many cases, the wealth of the household department did not have a lot of money buried under the kang head of the rich man. Later, the imperial court put the treasury of the provinces under the management of the household department, and at the same time undertook the part of the expenditure. Now the imperial court wants to open mines, build roads, and build factories, and it needs the cooperation of all localities, which only causes them to be dissatisfied with doing things without grabbing money, so it is true that they want financial power. ”

Gao Panlong nodded and said: "Although we didn't analyze it so carefully at the beginning, we also saw that their excuses such as unfairness and lack of people were under the guise of asking for money≡. The emperor said that they still need to use **, where do you start? Could it be that they are dissatisfied with the Metropolitan Procuratorate? ”

Tianqi said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate used to send people to various places to inspect the quality, and later sent two groups of people to cooperate with the officials of the Great Iron Company and officials of the economic inspection, all of whom had to be stationed at the grassroots level for a long time, which will make the prefects, governors, governors and others who are much higher than them feel difficult to manage, after all, you are not a Qincha or an imperial historian, and you do not have the privilege ♀ of seeing the officials at the first level, and some minor officials directly sent by the central government are not in their hands, which will definitely make those local officials feel uncomfortable. The governor and the others must have known, but they were just happy to see the excitement. ”

Hearing Tianqi say this, everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense, if the inspection officials sent out by the imperial court in the past were passers-by, these officials who will always be stationed here in the future are regular visitors, and they are only remotely controlled by the imperial court if they do not listen to the host's greetings, and these people are evil guests to local officials. In this sense, it is more important to grasp the right to use people in their hands than to ask for two dollars from the imperial court, after all, the imperial court also understands that without money, they can't do things and can't do boating in the river, and it is only a matter of time before a certain amount of money is allocated, but it is just a matter of how much or less and long-term appropriation and short-term appropriation are made.

King Xin said: "Although what the imperial brother said is speculation, it is not unreasonable, this may be the reason why the imperial brother wants to adjust the officials, how is the imperial brother going to adjust?" ”

Tianqi said: "There are several ministries under the Government Affairs Yuan, and the original six ministries are not only the Ministry of Officials that were merged into the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of War that were placed under the management of the Military Affairs Yuan, but also the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Punishment. In addition to the central government, there are also provincial governors, governors, and county officials in the local administration, and I plan to send the books and governors of these ministries to the auxiliary government first, and after some adjustments, promote them downward. If the popularization goes smoothly, it will be gradually extended to all prefectures and counties, until finally the establishment of the central, provincial, prefectural, and county auxiliary administrative organs. ”

When King Xin heard that the apocalypse was going to send all the ministers and governors of the provinces to the Auxiliary Council, he was very surprised, and thought to himself, "How can you play with my government affairs after you have taken these people away?" Do you want to abolish the Council? Because he couldn't figure it out, he looked at the apocalypse with wide eyes.

Tianqi knew what King Xin was thinking, so he gently patted King Xin's shoulder and said, "King Xin, don't think too much, what Brother Xin means is that these people are now assisting in government affairs, but they may be unqualified at some point, and there may be people outside who are more qualified than them." If all those who are qualified receive the Auxiliary Council first, and then send the most suitable people to the ministries and provinces to serve as scholars and governors, it will be more conducive to the affairs of the Council. After the government council has selected the right people, the remaining people can do special things for the auxiliary government to avoid private vicious competition among officials. ”

King Xin thought for a while and said: "Brother Huang's doing this is conducive to the placement of redundant officials, so that even if there are more people, they can be placed in the auxiliary government, and at most they will be given a salary, and there is no need to increase the organization for the purpose of placing people, which does have a certain amount of truth." If it is to be promoted to the lower levels, should the functions of these departments also be promoted? ”

Tianqi said: "Since it is to be promoted step by step, of course, all ministries that continue to promote it can perform various functions, and many things in the Qiu Yuan cannot be done in Beijing alone, and all parts of the country must do their best to cooperate in implementation." For example, as mentioned at the beginning, all localities are implicitly asking for use and financial power, so it is necessary to hand over some functions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Household Affairs to give them autonomy. We began to talk about running schools widely, so that illiterate people can be literate, and people with a certain amount of knowledge can increase new knowledge, which has to promote the functions of the Ministry of Rites to the bottom, and things such as mining and road construction are also inseparable from the Ministry of Industry. ”

After saying this, Tianqi looked at Xu Guangqi, who had not spoken much, and then continued: "There are many knowledgeable Taixi people in Lord Xu's Bo Academy, and they have agreed to run schools while building churches in various places. Truth be told, I don't want them to build churches everywhere, because that would weaken the loyalty of many people to the court, and although they promised that their mission would not affect the loyalty of the people, I didn't trust their assurances. However, I still had to allow them to build churches and preach, because a lot of the knowledge they brought with them was useful, and how to keep students loyal to the court while learning new knowledge was also a matter for the Ministry of Rites. ”

When Xu Guangqi saw Tianqi mention him, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has long thought about this issue, and he can let the Ministry of Rites strengthen some patriotic education, and the students who have been taught by the Taixi people must receive more patriotic education." It's just a little troublesome for those adults, not everyone understands like a minister that he is first an official of the Ming Dynasty and a courtier of the emperor, and then a Catholic congregation. ”

Seeing that Xu Guangqi had come up with an idea, he also expressed his loyalty, and he was very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Lord Xu's suggestion is very good, I have a way to solve the problems of those sect members. Taixi's knowledge is a little bit known, the system and the only one of various knowledge is very strong, Lord Xu should not focus on some specific matters in the future, but pay attention to the establishment of the system, so that our people can learn more about Taixi's knowledge. I heard that Lord Xu is still studying the calendar in his free time, and I don't approve of you spending your precious time on those things, and the people of the Ming Dynasty can grow food without an accurate calendar. ”

Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "Obey the emperor's teachings!" ”

Tianqi nodded and said to King Xin, Liu Zongzhou, and Gao Panlong: "What other suggestions do you have regarding the establishment of the Auxiliary Administration Yuan on the basis of the Supervision Yuan, and then the Auxiliary Administration Mu will be pushed downward?" If not, come up with a specific plan and specific implementation time, time waits for no one. It is said that the Jurchens and the Mongols fought a few battles and fought again, and the north had to be vigilant and prepare for battle, and there was still a rebellion in the south that had not been completely resolved, so you should hurry up and carry it out. ”

Liu Zongzhou discussed with Gao Panlong and King Xin in a low voice and said: "The Holy Academy and the Bo Academy can train some people to go down, we are all auxiliary qualities, I believe that the provinces will not have objections, the functions of other departments of the Ministry of Affairs The emperor has said, but the criminal department has not said what to do, does the emperor have any concerns?" ”

Liu Zongzhou's meaning is very clear and vague, and in order to carry out the auxiliary political affairs downward, it is necessary to transfer some administrative and supervisory functions, otherwise there is no point in promoting the auxiliary political affairs. However, whether it is the exercise of government affairs or the exercise of supervision functions at the local level, it must be done in accordance with the provisions of some laws, because they do not have the right to self-determination in the deliberation of the government, and the imperial court will not allow the right of self-determination in the deliberation of the government. However, Zhu Yuanzhang said more than 200 years ago that the Da Ming Law is not allowed to be modified, which has become the biggest obstacle.

Tianqi knew what Liu Zongzhou meant, he thought for a while and said: "The affairs of the Criminal Department are to act according to the law, first of all, we must ensure the correctness of the law and its authority. Taizu is bigger than everyone, and whoever disobeys his words will be blamed, but there are still people who are older than him, that is, the people of the whole world√ should bring the Daming Law to all the people in the world, and let them decide what can be changed and what should be amended, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, which is also in line with the golden mean of advancing with the times. ”
