Chapter 41: The Three Orders of the Restoration

The breeze blew, bringing ripples on the lake, expelling the leaves that fell on the lake, swimming towards the two people in the hallway. However, this kind of comfortable scenery did not attract the attention of the two people, and even Lian'er, who was standing on the side, was not attracted by him, but looked at Li Dui who was frowning beside him.

"According to the boy, although the boss's worries are not unreasonable, but there is no need to worry about it all the time, after all, the king is an assertive person in his heart, and from his various unconventional behaviors since he was in power, it can be known that Jun Shan is sensitive to deeds and words, or in other words, he is wise, but the city is too deep and has not been too expressive." Saying that, Li Dui looked at Zhao Cheng with a smile, "In such a situation, I can't help but think of a person in the kid." ”

"Who?" Zhao Cheng said suspiciously.

"Han Zhaohou."

"Han Zhaohou?"

"Actually, to be precise, it is Xiang Bangshen who assisted Han Zhaohou in changing the law. He was once in Korea, and he vigorously promoted the so-called rule of "awarding officials because of their appointment, following their names and being responsible, and handling the handle of life and death", which once made the vassal states dare not invade Korea, so he got the name of "Jinhan". ”

"Hmm." Zhao Cheng groaned. In fact, Shen Bu is not too far away from now, and South Korea has indeed become majestic because of Shen Bu Xi's change. Now that I hear Li Dui decompose it for him, it seems that the reason why Zhao Yong is pushing the "Four Qing Auxiliary Ministers" does have the meaning of "following the name and being responsible, and handling the handle of life and death". "If that's the case, it seems that the old man's position is still necessary?" In fact, this is where he is entangled, after all, the position of Sikong, for a long time, is a job to smash people's jobs, especially for the Zhao clan, which makes him very difficult. Just from the various words of various officials, both openly and covertly, along the way after he left Xindu, he already realized that he seemed to be sitting on a crater.

However, if it is really as Li Dui said, Zhao Yong is promoting Shen Buxian's rule, then for the sake of his own political future, he refuted Zhao Yong, but left a very bad impact, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold power again.

"What the adults are depressed about is nothing more than because of the position of Sikong, because the two decrees of counting the acres of land and the registration of the people will affect their image in the public clan and in front of the ministers. With all due respect, the adults don't actually have to worry, the king may not have taken into account the interests of the clan by awarding this position to the adults. ”

"Do you mean that the monarch handed over this position to the old man, so that I can take care of the interests of the princess, but at the same time, I can't take care of the interests of the Zhao country?" Zhao Cheng was actually blinded by many worries before, but at this moment, after Li Dui's explanation, he saw it more thoroughly: Yes, if this position is handed over to anyone, it is a fire pit, and it is handed over to himself, one is to rely on the prestige he has established in the clan in recent years, and the other is to let himself do some practical things.

"The king is not afraid that you will bend the law for personal gain, so he put his master in the position of the secretary. If you really have any favoritism, this fat master is your sworn enemy, but he is wonderful, he is upright where he should be, and he is always an old-fashioned person. ”

"In this way, you can not only complete your mind of reforming and changing the law, but also take care of the face of the clan, the best of both worlds." This time, Zhao Cheng can't say that he doesn't admire Zhao Yong's arrangement, at least this arrangement makes it impossible for anyone to do anything too out of the ordinary, and all the work has to be done according to his ideas. This kind of scheming and city government is simply too deep, how can it be the mind of a weak-crowned young man?

"Therefore, the boss still plays a good role in this empty position, and it may not be more important in the future."

"The old man is already old, how can he go further, Mr. Li is making fun of the old man." As he spoke, he smiled slightly at Li Dui, "Maybe if you bring up your juniors, you can be regarded as filial piety for Zhao Guo." ”

If Zhao Cheng said this, Li Dui didn't understand what it meant, and he would be blind to this person. He hurriedly thanked Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng was relieved at the same time, and told Lian'er to take care of Li Dui, and he left first.

"Sir, it's almost time to go back and rest." Lian'er looked at Li Dui shyly, and said with a slightly red face. Li Dui himself is also a talent, and he can be regarded as a good match. If you have something to do with him.....

Li Dui didn't expect that the maid behind him was already eyeing him, and he was still immersed in the back of Zhao Cheng leaving. Seeing him disappear from view, Li Dui's flame of jealousy, which had been extinguished, quietly disappeared after being ignited slightly.

"Let's go." As he spoke, he no longer refused Lian'er's support, and walked slowly to his room.

In accordance with the principle of "four secretaries of officials and four temples of office", after the four secretaries took office, each temple set up different departments according to the different functions under its jurisdiction to be specifically responsible for various tasks. However, because this was a relatively large change, many departments had to be integrated and rearranged, especially because some of the two parts of Situ Temple and Sikong Temple had overlapped before, and this time they were also integrated. All those responsible for money and taxes were demarcated, and they were all assigned to Sikong Temple, and the functions of Zongbo's sacrifices and funerals were also assigned to Situ Temple. In this way, Situ Temple has both civil registration and sacrificial rituals, while Sikong Temple will be fully responsible for the country's wealth and become an absolute real power field.

But when subdivided, it is particularly troublesome. Because the regional system of Zhao State evolved to the Zhou system, there are six townships and six Sui, of which the six townships are Bi, Lu, clan, party, state, and township. The six are "neighbors, li, drunk, disdainful, county, and Sui". This is exquisite, near Wangcheng, can be called Liuxiang.

The people of Liuxiang are all connected by blood relations, and they are also the main service personnel of the army's expedition. The people of Liusui are the people who are not near the royal city that are spontaneously organized, and they are called "wild people". It is equivalent to ordinary free people, not slaves, who have their own land, practice the well field system, and have servitude. Accordingly, according to different administrative divisions, Zhou Li set up different officials to manage the use of land and livestock.

In Zhao Guoxin's official system, Zhao Yong signaled to Zhao Cheng, on the basis of referring to the Jin system and the Zhou system, to reduce the proportion of personnel and implement vertical management. Because after all, the land area of Zhao has not reached the territory of the Zhou Dynasty,

After consulting with Zhao Bao and Zhao Cheng, Zhao's tax agency was reformed. The central government has established a tax administration agency with Sikong Temple as the general responsibility, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Fields, specifically responsible for the national tax work, there is one Tianbu official, two teachers, to assist the Tianbu officials in managing the affairs of the ministry, five Lu teachers, respectively responsible for the tax work of one or two counties, and the rest of the officials and apostles.

At the local level, a bereavement department was set up to complete the tax payment work with the cooperation of the county. The Department of the Survivors is directly responsible to the Division of Tabe and is not subject to the jurisdiction of the county office. This point was added by Zhao Cheng, who, in his opinion, handed over the tax to the county guard was prone to "unpredictable" consequences, so he insisted on directly administering the Department of Survivors. Although the work is heavy, it is conducive to maintaining national stability and reducing the number of traitors, so Zhao Yong had to agree.

In this way, Zhao's new tax collection system was established, which had the framework of the Zhou Dynasty, the official characteristics of the Jin State, and the structural characteristics of centralization and checks and balances, which not only made Zhao officials easy to accept, but also made Zhao Yong quickly understand the operation process.

And Mr. Zhao Cheng, who presided over this matter, also showed the revolutionary spirit of being old and strong, although he was quite old, but with the help of Shao Sikong Xu Yue, the old man was also busy integrating Sikong Temple day and night, so that Shao Sikong Xu was also admired, thinking that this old man is really more energetic than me.

If Zhao Cheng's Sikong Temple is doing addition, then Zhao Bao's Situ Temple is doing subtraction.

According to the spirit of the "Three Orders of the Restoration", Situ Temple will be a super organization that includes Dazai, Zongbo and Situ, and what he wants to do is to unify these three functional departments. Dazai, in charge of the state of governance, unified hundreds of officials, all four seas. is the super secretary of the monarch, equivalent to the previous Xiangbang; Zongbo, the commander of his subordinates and the state ceremony, to support the king and the state. These two departments, one is equivalent to the Minister of Personnel, the other is equivalent to the Minister of Propaganda, plus the work of Situ himself, the entire Situ Temple is definitely the busiest place.

In order to refine the work, Zhao Bao has a focus on practical work. Situ Temple set up three young Situ, each involving a part of the work, Zhao Bao is responsible for the overall part. Each young situ has two to three secretaries under his jurisdiction to assist the young situ in completing the work of the department. And there were a number of priests, ministers, officials, and apostles under the secretary. weakened the rights of Xiangbang and realized Zhao Yong's direct management of the four ministers, and Xiangbang existed in another form, but the power was boycotted and no longer a monopoly. The purpose of this is actually to realize Zhao Yong's direct management of Zhao Guo and improve the efficiency of work.

Zhao Yong also hoped to be able to establish departments such as household rites, soldiers, and criminal works like the TV series he watched, but his professional knowledge made him daunted by this, and it was better to carry out the so-called "retro" according to Zhou Li. At least this thing, there is evidence. Therefore, it can only keep Zhao Bao busy for a while.

Compared with these two, Feiyi is also busy. This old master has been idle for so long, and finally Zhao Yong seized the opportunity to give him some practical work. On the first day of taking office, Zhao Yong arranged the work for Master Feiyi, which surprised him a little.

"Re-establish the law?" Fei Yi looked at Zhao Yong and asked a little strangely.

"It's not a redetermination. It can only be said that it is finished. Zhao Yong threw the bamboo slips on several cases, shook his head and sighed. Master, Lone doesn't have the courage to revise the law, just like Lone doesn't have the courage to implement Hufu riding and shooting across the country. ”

How effective is Hufu riding and shooting? The report sent by Lou Chuan and Zhao Gu is enough to explain. The new cavalry trained by Li Yan completely gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the old cavalry due to its high degree of flexibility. Although Zhao Yong did not tell Lou Zhuan, among the hundred gold cavalry in Jianjian Ridge, not only had the defense and attack methods changed, but they were all equipped with saddles and stirrups, but they had always been kept secret.

From the point of view of the effect of confrontation, the cost of the new cavalry is higher than that of the old cavalry, but it is not impossible to fight alone, and its combat effectiveness is to completely destroy the old cavalry, which can flexibly complete the strategic needs such as roundabout rescue, and can also complete the tactical needs of the battlefield, which can be completely promoted.

But after Zhao Yong read it, he still faintly replied with three words, "I know", and put it away.

The reason is that he is afraid of history and has no confidence in himself.
