After a busy day in the field, he rode to the city with a brigade of escorts by moonlight, and entered the governor's yamen, and saw the hall brightly lit in the distance.

Turning over and dismounting, He Zhenguo, the housekeeper of the palace, hurriedly greeted him, and said with a worried face: "My lord, Lord Liu, the political envoy of Youbu, and Lord Qian are waiting in the hall with a group of people, so that Lai said that he must see you." ”

Yang Xuan frowned, handed over the horsewhip to He Zhenguo, and took a few guards to the lobby to sit down, glanced at everyone and was about to speak, according to the inspector Qian Bangxin came out of the column and said: "The adults are happy to be congratulated on the country, Zhuge Wumu did everything back then, although he did his best to become a model of loyal ministers through the ages, but the Northern Expedition was frustrated, and the heroes were often full of tears.

Hou Ye is healthy in the spring and autumn, he is in the prime of life, and he is in charge of official business every day, and he also needs to do something and not do something. ”

Yang Xuan frowned slightly, smiled and said, "Lord Qian's kindness is well understood, don't beat around the bush when you speak, just be direct."

We scholars often have something to say, and many words have to be guessed by others, and it is nothing to guess three or five people, but now I need to guess hundreds of people, which is really difficult.

Mr. Qian, in order not to make any unnecessary trouble, let's talk about it. ”

Qian Bangqi frowned slightly, felt a little unhappy, coughed, cleared his throat and strengthened his courage, and replied loudly: "Master Hou, now that the various departments of our Ming army and the Qing army are fighting fiercely, the situation ahead is changing several times a day, and what should we do now?" ”

Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Needless to say, of course, the major military affairs should be the first, and the scourge should be pacified by the Liukou, and then the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition should be the first." ”

Qian Bangqi nodded and said: "Master Hou, I also know the truth that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, but since there is a division in charge of these."

Since Lord Hou became an official, he has repeatedly asked to strengthen the responsibilities of each department and give the directors of each department a heavy responsibility, but now why don't you pay attention to the following divisions.

Hou Ye is in the field all day today, and he must know that there are many plans to exterminate the Liukou, and Zhou Xiang needs to plan for it. ”

Looking at the other party, Yang Xuan spread his hands and explained: "According to the inspectors, my lords, my volunteer army implements the strategy of elite soldiers, and now the autumn harvest requires all departments to assist the local autumn harvest, and the soldiers are of course resentful.

When the three armies fought, the military spirit was the first, and they were supposed to work in the fields after work, but in order to eliminate the grievances in the hearts of some soldiers.

As for official business, it's hot now, and I'm ready to be busy today, so I won't delay it. ”

Seeing this, everyone glanced at each other, and Liu Changlin, the political envoy of the right cloth, came out and said: "Master Hou, since the expulsion of the Tartars into the provincial capital, you have asked to strengthen the responsibilities of the division, and the lower officials are looking for a division to plan one or two, and everyone has been looking for a day, but they can't find anyone at all." ”

took a book, put it in his hand and thought about it, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Zhou Experience, adults, as the saying goes, everything is foreseen, and if you don't plan it, you can't know everything every day, and there are often some urgent things."

In order to improve work efficiency, starting today, in accordance with the principle of urgency and urgency, you can make a rough plan for five days to plan the daily tasks that need to be handled.

For those important and urgent matters, you can interrupt your daily work and arrange to deal with them immediately.

For those important but not urgent matters, you can schedule them and set a date to deal with them.

For those things that are not important but urgent, you can arrange for a company to deal with them.

For those things that are not important and urgent, they will be directly handed over to the company.

Although the document submitted by Lord Liu is very important, it is not too urgent, and it can be put back in the future, and everyone will have to discuss it a lot. ”

Looking at the people around him, Liu Changlin looked quite embarrassed: "My lord, everyone has gathered today, if it is another day, it will be difficult to gather everyone." ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "The right political envoy, if things are slow, you should understand this truth." Besides, the experience department gives the schedule, and the following divisions should cooperate.

Lord Liu, can you gather everyone over, can I determine the schedule two or three days in advance, and then there will be no one to come? ”

Liu Changlin was shocked, sweating like rain, he didn't dare to make a sound, and hurriedly retreated with a group of people.

After everyone left, they brought in Zhou Zheng from the Department of Experience, agreed to deal with major affairs in the next five days, and asked him to find someone to carve overnight and distribute it to the departments and their main officials.

After that, Yang Xuan inspected the barracks every morning, or went down to the field to participate in the autumn harvest, and returned to the provincial capital in the afternoon when the sun was in full swing, drank a bowl of gruel, took a hot bath, and was busy until late at night.

After four days like this, around this day, the political envoys, political participation, and the experience of each department gathered together to discuss the setting of the hundred divisions.

As Yang Xuan said, in the past, taxes mostly came from land taxes, per capita taxes, and local taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but after several years of reform pilots, it was obvious that the past taxes were unfair and unjust.

However, some officials and gentry took advantage of loopholes in the system to wantonly include the local people's fields under their own names, resulting in a large number of local exemptions from land and population, and the government added them to the heads of ordinary people in order to make up for the taxes.

In the past, although the land was cleared, due to the deception of the officials below, the land was not worthy of the name.

In the past, the government apportioned people at various levels and wantonly levied and issued forced labor among the people, which made the people's livelihood miserable in the localities, and some families were even ruined.

In the past, the local gentry were appointed to collect commercial taxes, and most of the money and grain collected flowed into the pockets of the gentry, or through the regular silver into the purses of officials and officials, resulting in the loss of a large amount of taxes.

In the past, the government could not be under the county, and the local gentry were allowed to govern, resulting in many injustices.

After several years of experiments, the township office was established under the county, and the local gentry were selected to serve as the township head, so as to truly implement the concept of local co-governance of the gentry and collect a large number of business taxes every year, and these used to flow into the pockets of Haoqiang, officials and officials.

Through the pilot, it is necessary to strengthen the authority of the company, so it is necessary to re-determine the company and its grade.

After discussion, each township was divided into three classes and one lower class township according to the characteristics of population, transportation, commerce, etc., including one township chief, one security officer, and one tax collector.

Medium township, including 1 township head, 1-2 security officers and tax collectors.

Upper township (also called town), including 1 township head, more than 3 security officers and tax collectors.

Reform the local functional structure of the past three classes and six rooms, the past yamen includes three classes (Zhuang class, fast class, soap class) and six rooms (in addition to these six rooms, including account rooms, treasury, recruitment rooms, contract rooms, etc.), after several years of operation, after the reform, the state and county yamen include:

The officer's room, like the current Personnel Bureau, remains unchanged from the past, and is mainly responsible for the recruitment and evaluation of officials.

The treasury, like the current Finance Bureau, merged the former account office and treasury into the treasury, which is responsible for the management of fiscal revenue and expenditure, the management of important materials for money, grain, and taxes.

The household house was changed to a private house (the Sui Dynasty was the Ministry of the People, and later changed to the Ministry of Households because of Li Shimin's name), just like the Civil Affairs Bureau, which was mainly responsible for land measurement and civil affairs work.

The school room, as in the current Education Bureau, in the past, the counties had teachings, and the county colleges had instructors, mostly from the nine officials, and now the lecturers presided over a county teaching, and the yamen was changed to the school room, and the discipline was a bit like the principal of the middle school was mainly responsible for the daily management of the school.

The workshop, like the current Economic Bureau or Construction Bureau, is responsible for the overall economic planning and major construction of the jurisdiction.

The ritual room, like the Propaganda Bureau or the Religious Affairs Bureau, is mainly responsible for the management of the monks in the Taoist temple and the sacrifice.

The traffic office, changed from the past post office, is mainly responsible for the construction of roads and waterways in the jurisdiction, and the management of the major shops of the government in the past.

The public security office is composed of three shifts of fast class and strong class, of which the fast class is like the current criminal police brigade, and the strong class is like the current general household registration police and dispatched police (township security officers), mainly responsible for household registration management, public security management, criminal investigation and other work in the jurisdiction.

Office: The former concierge and soap shift were changed into offices, responsible for the internal management of the yamen.

The torture room, and the subordinate chambers and prison officials, are responsible for the trial of general public security cases and the prosecution of major criminal and civil cases, just like the current procuratorate or judicial bureau or primary court.

The barracks, like the current Ministry of Armed Forces, is responsible for the recruitment of soldiers, the bereavement of military families, and the resettlement of retired soldiers.

This is what is often said to change the traditional three-class six-room structure to ten-room and one-room structure, and strengthen the management of various functional departments

After the reform, the main responsibility for tax collection was delegated to the townships, and the tax collector was responsible for supervising the collection activities.

After the reform, the number of personnel in the yamen increased by a large margin, and most of the people in the townships and towns below were the main increases.

In the past, most of the bazaars were autonomous for the gentry, and the government mainly sent strong squads to be on duty at important passes, and now there are township chiefs, security officers, and tax collectors in each bazaar.

Compared with the past, this change strengthens the management of various functional departments, unlike in the past, where the county governor needs to be responsible for a large number of specific affairs every day, so that he can get rid of the specific affairs and manage the county affairs as a whole.

In addition, due to the establishment of the treasury, transportation office, and public security office, the functions of tax collection, fiscal revenue and expenditure management, population management, public security management, and traffic management have been strengthened.

In some states and counties, there are corresponding functional management departments for their main economic activities, such as iron ore and iron smelting, and there are corresponding competent departments to manage the jurisdiction.

For the government and the prefecture, the administrative department has been changed from the past to the bureau, which is the same as in modern times.

In the province, the corresponding department (department) functional department is established to coordinate the work in the province.

Of course, in addition to these departments, considering the scarcity of local population, there are not too many major local criminal cases and economic cases, and corresponding courts are only established at the provincial level.

In the past, the emperor and the emperor set up a yamen in the provinces, and the imperial envoy and the imperial court sent the imperial history to patrol the place and clean up the unjust prisons.

Yang Xuan changed the Yamen to the High Court and appointed Chief Chen as the president.

Establish branch courts in each province and its prefecture, appoint Yushi as the president of the branch, and establish 2-3 tribunals to clean up local unjust prisons.

Some people disagree with this change, because the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court and the local three classes and six rooms have lasted more than 1,000 years, and the operation has been very perfect, and there is no need to change the local system at all.

Others are shouting for reform, and the Volunteers have set up more than this in various states and counties, and now it is just a formalization and culture.
