Chapter 375: The official system is overhauled
It is said that after the carriage and horses are tired, Li Shimin is going to rest for a day and then hold a court meeting, but now is a very moment, so he just symbolically greeted Empress Changsun in front of the imperial city gate, and then directly convened the minister Taiji Hall to discuss the matter.
The students blocked the door made him very annoyed, and he ruined his good mood when he came back after the northern tour, ready to declare his merits, this time, he subdued the four departments, expanded the territory for the Tang Dynasty for thousands of miles, and did not lose his country's soldiers and horses, shouldn't he have a grand celebration party?
However, no, Xiao Yu was doing the right thing and didn't understand Li Shimin's intentions, so when Xiao Yu took the lead in reporting to Li Shimin on the work of Chang'an in the past few months, Li Shimin's unhappy expression made everyone scared when they saw it.
There is no comparison, there is no harm, Chang'an, the capital of the country, the most populous city in the world, was completely defeated by Shanyang, this is a failure of the policy, it is the incompetence of the rulers, and then a series of reform measures will start in Chang'an, this is probably Li Shimin's intention to deliberately throw his face.
And why say 'again'?
Because the reform of the civil system at the beginning of the year was fierce enough, but this time, it will be even more violent, and the entire six ministries and nine secretaries have changed, or in other words, there will be no six ministries and nine secretaries in the future.
The first thing to announce was the abolition of Taifu Temple, Guanglu Temple, Sinong Temple, and other parts in charge of money and grain, and the establishment of the Ministry of Finance, after the establishment of the Ministry of Finance, to manage all the incoming and outgoing items of the state treasury, including officials, daily consumption of office supplies in various departments, military equipment, soldiers' pensions, and so on.
That is to say, after the establishment of this finance department, any other department has nothing to do with cash, to use the degree, take the approval to report to them, there is an input, all handed over here, which puts an end to the past money by several parts of the management, mixed and inefficient.
The people in the finance department will have some accounting, budgeting, and auditing work to do, but the data is kept secret to the outside world.
If you want too much, it's impossible, if you have a budget, it's too far away, don't approve it.
If the amount used does not match the amount received, you must return it, otherwise, you will still be held responsible.
Moreover, in addition to the supervision of the chief official, the local financial departments also have to face the management of the yamen at the next higher level.
If you want to say why Li Shimin has such a great determination to reform, it is because he has not been idle in Shanyang for more than three months, he has seen all the management departments two or three times, and he has thoroughly understood it.
The second is the reform of the judiciary, and the royal history of the gods and horses will become history in the future, because in the future, the court will no longer discuss trivial things such as the personal behavior of the courtiers, and only regulations will be introduced.
Yushitai will merge with Dali Temple and Tingwei to become the Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry of Justice will have the right to manage the law-making of the entire country, as well as the trial of violations, and for those officials who misbehaved in the past, they will not be brought to the emperor to fight, but will be directly punished by the court lieutenant according to the law, and the punishment results will be kept on file and included in the promotion evaluation of this official.
Therefore, in the future, if officials dare to bully men and women, the Ministry of Justice can directly issue an order, and the court lieutenant will take the person, try it, convict it, and pronounce the sentence.
Sun Xiangfu has never rejected the verdict of the judicial department once in Shanyang.
Of course, for such small things as eating a snack on the street and not dressing properly, the new law will also be abolished, and the items that really need to be punished will be reduced from more than 1,000 to less than 100, and more than 90% of the things above the code of conduct for officials and ordinary people have been abolished, which are not real crimes, and will not be severely punished.
Since there is the Ministry of Justice, the functions of the Criminal Department will be completely changed, and in the future it will be divided into four major parts, the Public Security Bureau, the Investigation Bureau, the Anti-Explosion Bureau, and the Investigation Bureau, which specializes in collecting evidence and investigating all kinds of cases, including the evidence collection and investigation of civil prosecutors.
These four major departments will completely change the functions of the Criminal Department, which did not have a strong sense of existence in the past, because, after the restructuring, the Criminal Department will have the strongest force under its hands except for the city defense army.
In the future, the arrest tolerance of the county government can belong to the Public Security Bureau of the Criminal Department, and the county soldiers under the county lieutenant belong to the explosion-proof bureau of the Criminal Department, plus a judge of the Ministry of Justice, then the judicial prison system of a county will be established and relatively independent.
The county decree only governs production and local construction, and only has the right to supervise and report to other departments in the county, and cannot forcibly interfere with it.
The judicial department, although subject to the supervision of the county order, is also responsible to the judicial department at the next higher level, just like the Ministry of Finance, and in a sense, he can even manage the violation of the county order.
This not only weakened the rights of the local magistrates, but also made the law and prison independent of the entire power system, and added the dual-track system that Sun Xiangfu began to play in Shanyang two years ago.
After this change, the management of internal affairs will be much easier, and how much money the imperial treasury has and how much money it can use will be clear when you ask the financial book.
Even if they have been sentenced by county-level justice, they can appeal to the state-level judicial department, and even appeal to the Supreme Court of Chang'an.
The main work in the early stage is to put an end to the indiscriminate disposal of the people by the township law, and put the power of life and death of all the people in the Tang Dynasty in the hands of the imperial court.
In addition to helping the imperial court complete major projects, it also had to cooperate with the Ministry of Commerce to manage the manufacturing industry of the entire country.
The household department has less money and grain management, but there are a lot more tax tasks, because Li Shimin wants to copy Shanyang's tax system, and the eldest grandson Wuji is the first to come out to support, in the court, there is almost no opposition, now the emperor is so strong, who dares to oppose it!
After that, there is the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and these two departments have also changed a lot.
Honglu Temple was returned to the Ministry of Rites, plus the Taichang Temple, Taile Temple and other departments that were originally under the control of the Ministry of Rites, in short, it added the functions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Ministry of Rites.
In the future, in addition to managing the performance evaluation of officials, promotion, appointment and dismissal, and training of officials' governing skills have become one of the focuses of their work.
Finally, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Commerce were announced, with the Ministry of Agriculture in charge of the cultivation and production of the world's fields.
The Ministry of Commerce is in charge of commercial trade and commodity quality supervision, import and export regulation, etc.
Then, after this round of reform, the original Jiuqing is gone, and it has become ten departments of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Commerce.
For these ten books, Li Shimin also made an appointment, and the candidates came as soon as they opened their mouths, obviously, these reforms were what he thought about for a long time during this time in Shanyang.
Wen Yanbo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Yu Shinan, the head of the Ministry of Households, Hou Junji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Gao Shilian, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Yu Wenshiji, the secretary of the Ministry of Law, Wei Zhengming, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Du Zhenglun, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce.
Among them, Li Jing, the original Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was promoted to the right servant of Shangshu, the original was Shangshu's right servant to shoot Fang Xuanling, and the left servant of Jin Shangshu to shoot, as for the original Shangshu left servant to shoot Xiao Yu, it is undecided.
With the help of Xiao Yu's fire, this series of reforms was announced, and his position was naturally unsafe, and he did not announce the recall in public, and there must be arrangements later. As for the three provinces, basically did not move, the original Jiuqing, the base is to mention the ten to be the second in command, because the plates of the tube are big, their grades only rise and do not fall, the ten Shangshu are all three products, and the left and right squires are from the third grade.
Ma Zhou, a scholar in the middle school, was directly appointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Commerce, which can be regarded as jumping several levels in a row.
For other people's official positions, Sun Xiangfu actually doesn't care much, his own position as the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture has been implemented, and the ministers in the court have long had expectations for this official reform, anyway, most people have not been demoted, and even most of them have been promoted, so naturally there is nothing to oppose, but after announcing these, the establishment of a new hall yamen, the arrangement of middle and low-level officials, some are busy, just take advantage of the winter when these civil officials are fine, let them be well organized.
A series of official appointments directly used up the afternoon's time, however, Li Shimin did not mean to let Xiao Yu and Sun Xiangfu out of the palace, plus Hou Junji, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji, they were invited to the imperial study for dinner together.
I thought that Li Shimin would talk about arms procurement as soon as he came in, but he didn't expect him to take the lead in asking about Du Ruhui's body, "Keming's illness, can Zhengming be sure to cure it?" ”
"As long as it's past this winter, it should be fine."
A few days ago, the Du family went to the house to get the refrigerated cauliflower, and said that the condition was good, and he basically didn't cough much, so there was basically no problem.
Hearing this, Li Shimin's expression relaxed, and he said, "In this way, the country will not lose a pillar, and I will go to his house to visit the sick later, there is no problem!" ”
Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "You just need to wear a mask, just in case." ”
Li Shimin is no stranger to masks, and Du Ruhui's illness is almost in the recovery period, and the infectivity is already very low, but it will not infect Li Shimin, who is in his prime.
"Zhengming solves a big worry for me, then, let's talk about it, why did you let Xiao Xiang go to Shuzhong!"
All right! It turned out that Xiao Yu even told Li Shimin about this, Sun Xiangfu naturally wouldn't tell Li Shimin that he had watched the TV series in the later life, and in the next few years, Tubo would become a rival of the Tang Dynasty, so he just made up a reason, "Shuzhong is rich in products, has a lot of population, and borders with Tubo and Yunnan, which is not only a strategic place, but also a commercial place, once it develops, it will be a new economic growth point for my Datang, and in the next step, there will be many industries in Shuzhong that need to be reformed and adjusted, which may touch the interests of some people. Unless he was an important minister who had been in the center for a long time and understood the new development model of the imperial court, he would not be up to such a difficult task. ”
"Even you can see that Shuzhong is a strategic place, but it is slightly the same as what the pharmacist sees!" Li Shimin looked at Sun Xiangfu with some relief, and handed him a volume of secret love newspapers.
After Sun Xiangfu unfolded it, his brows furrowed, sure enough, although he changed the history of the Tang Dynasty, he still did not change the history of Tubo, Songtsan Gampo still rose, and the party departments inexplicably pinched Tuguhun, although these things seem to have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, but if you think that the Tang Dynasty wants to devote the whole country to attack Goguryeo, it may have something to do with it.
These forces are all in the back of the Tang Dynasty! What if something happens here when the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo are fighting?
The power of a top military strategist is that he can smell the breath of danger through small things, and it is no wonder that Wang Hao will say that Wang Lin's plan cannot be put on the table, and his sneak attack plan has not yet begun to be truly implemented, and Li Jing has gained insight into some situations.
