Chapter 182: Peaceful Occupation of Anqing and Luzhou
A high mountain asked, "Where is General Huang stationed now?" ”
Huang Degong replied: "Anqing and Luzhou are the defense areas of the last general, and the last general is now stationed in Hefei. ”
Gao Junshan asked again: "I sent Cao Wenzhao to take over your defense area, and your troops went to the mall to accept the reorganization, do you have no opinion?" ”
Huang Degong bowed again: "Back to the emperor, the last general is willing to obey the emperor's dispatch." ”
Gao Junshan nodded and said, "Very good." After the reorganization of your troops, you will be placed under the command of Cao Wenzhao, and your official position will remain unchanged, and you will serve as a brigade commander with us. ”
"Thank you for the emperor's grace, and fully cooperate with the army's reorganization."
"Your appointment will be given to you by the Military Administration, and you will receive your appointment in the near future. You can go back and prepare first, and if you have anything, you can go directly to Cao Wenzhao. ”
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing for the last general." Huang Degong hurriedly said.
"Please!"
Huang Degong took a step forward before he said: "Your Majesty, the last general has always had dealings with Zuo Liangyu, he is already disheartened with Ma Shiying and Gao Jie, and he also wants to come to the emperor, but he is worried that he has killed too many rebel brothers, and he is afraid that he will not be allowed here." ”
Gao Junshan asked: "Did Zuo Liangyu kill the rebels as Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong?" ”
"Nope." Huang Degong replied.
"And what else does he have to worry about?"
Huang Degong smiled and saluted Gao Junshan again: "The last general knows how to reply to Zuo Liangyu, the last general will bring the emperor's words to him, and the last general will retire." ”
……
Gao Junshan still has a game of chess in his heart, and after solving these problems in Wuchang, he rushed to the capital in a hurry, although he was not in Beijing during the period, there was the first assistant Bailisha to take full responsibility for him, and his heart always couldn't let go.
The return trip was also by water, walking along the way for nearly half a month, although the scenery was beautiful all the way, he had no intention of watching, nesting in the comfortable cabin, thinking about a few major things to do after returning to Beijing.
The first thing is to restructure the household department, the current household department is to follow the Ming Dynasty establishment, after entering the capital, the Ming Dynasty's six officials Gao Junshan basically received the whole.
The Ming Dynasty set up six departments in the center: officials, households, rituals, workers, criminals, and soldiers, and compared with the previous generations, the Ming Dynasty initially added one Shangshu Shilang in each department. After Hu Weiyong's case, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the post of prime minister and cancelled Zhongshu Province. As a result, the status of the six ministries has been enhanced. There is only one book in each department, two squires, and the original books of each subject are reduced to Langzhong. The official ranks of the various ministers and squires also rose. Among them, the Ministry of Officials (in charge of the promotion of civil officials) is the most important, and the Ministry of Household has the largest number of personnel. The Ministry of Rites (in charge of the sacrificial ceremonies) and the Ministry of Works (in charge of public works) had a lower status.
The scope of the household department's jurisdiction is the nation's money, grain, land endowment, and household registration, so it is bound to have a certain relationship with various ethnic minorities, thus highlighting its important position.
The household department has a chief official Shangshu one, and the rank is two products; The adjutant has one squire on the left and one on the left, and the rank is three grades; Under it, there are Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian, Henan, Shanxi, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan thirteen divisions. Each division has one Lang in the middle, and the rank is five products; Outside the staff Lang one, the rank from the fifth grade; The second person in charge is the sixth product.
In addition, there are still functions such as the light grinding office, the Guangji warehouse, the internal and external transportation warehouse, and the military storage warehouse, so it is divided into four sections: civil, degree, gold, and warehouse.
The affairs of ethnic minorities involved in the household department are concentrated in the areas of taxation, tea trade, and marriage demographics. Although the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit ethnic minorities from marrying with the Han nationality, they must be reported in advance and must not marry privately.
In order to prohibit private tea sales, the Ming Dynasty appointed a tea inspector and also set up a tea and horse department, a tea department and a laboratory office, which were under the management of the household department, and the tea and horse trade was one of the important strategies of the Ming Dynasty to control the Qinghai-Tibetan ethnic minorities.
Gao Junshan believes that there is still one of these institutions in the household department, and that is the bank. He wants to open a bank and absorb the funds of the rich for infrastructure construction, mainly to build roads and bridges, improve transportation, and invigorate the logistics of the whole country.
After the bank is opened, it is necessary to mint coins, use the bank to gradually recover the coins of the previous dynasty, and issue the coins and banknotes of the current dynasty, and allow silver to continue to be used as the legal tender in circulation.
The second thing is to restructure the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of a wide range of scientific research, diplomacy, etiquette, sacrifices, and banquets. Among them, etiquette and banquets include diplomacy, and of course there are some other things including daily official code of conduct, etiquette and etiquette, official seal management, honorary titles, celebration organization, celebration banquet arrangements and so on.
The Department of Ceremonies is responsible for the arrangement, organization and preparation of the agenda, daily activities and meetings of the imperial court, the issuance of various certificates, official seals, etc., and the establishment of education.
The Department of Sacrifices is responsible for the agenda, organization, and preparation of various sacrificial activities in the imperial court, including funeral activities and cemetery management, tomb sweeping, and religious affairs.
The main and guest department is the management of foreign countries and foreign envoys, as well as the entry and exit management.
Fine Catering Division, responsible for banquets and welcoming guests.
Gao Junshan decided to change the name of the Department of Ritual to the Department of Education, and the Department of Education would be in charge of the academies and triennial scientific examinations across the country. His three colleges of Chongwen are also part of the Department of Education. Since the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is Niu Jinxing, he does not think that Niu Jinxing can lead the work of the Education Department, so he plans to separate the Education Department and establish the Ministry of Education at the appropriate time.
Gao Junshan has always believed that the research institute should be at the same level as the Ministry of Education, so it is necessary for him to set up another science and technology institution, what is the name of this institution, he has not yet reached the bottom, is it the same as the Department of Education, temporarily placed under the Ministry of Rites? He hadn't thought about it yet.
In short, he cannot drastically change the institutions and official positions of the previous dynasty, and must adjust them step by step, otherwise it will inevitably cause chaos and prematurely change them to ministries, departments, bureaus, departments, sections, and units.
Universal education is the top priority, and we must start with the cities with an eye on reality, because they are densely populated and easy to manage centrally.
It is possible to set up official schools in the center of the city, encourage all kinds of academies and private schools to teach, and at the same time admit some poor children and children from remote mountainous areas to study in normal schools for free, and will come to the villages to engage in educational work.
The fourth issue to ponder is to open a hospital, which costs a lot of money, but the opening of a hospital can improve the health level of the common people, reduce the infant and maternal mortality rate, enhance the self-confidence of the nation, and enable the Chinese nation to develop healthily and be full of vitality.
In short, these things have been going back and forth in Gao Junshan's mind these days, and he has to calm down, clear his mind well, and implement these things one by one.
He was alone in the luxurious cabin thinking about these questions, not letting Sun Kewang come in and disturb him, where did Sun Kewang understand what Gao Junshan was thinking, he also thought that Gao Junshan was sick, he was so anxious, and he couldn't go in to disturb, just walked around outside the cabin door, not knowing what to do.
