One Thousand One Hundred and Seventy-Seven Hundred Men Rise Before I Rise (I)

Beginning in February of the second year of Longwu, because the new five-year political program of the Great Qin was proposed, many things needed to be sorted out, so Xiao Ruxun directly turned the Qianqing Palace into the most direct place of the central government in order to increase work efficiency.

Xiao Ruxun is now 28 years old, which is the peak of a man's energy, but even so, the experience of Qin Shi Huang and Ming Taizu tells him that although the emperor can hold absolute power, he cannot govern the country alone.

After Qin Shi Huang swept Liuhe, the Chinese population was 20 million, and in the 26th year of Hongwu, the national population was 65 million, and at present, the population of Great Qin is definitely more than 100 million.

Although Xiao Ruxun has only conducted a census in half and half of Jiangbei, and more comprehensive census data is estimated to be available in five years, even so, it is not difficult to predict that the total population during this period will exceed 100 million.

The larger the population and the larger the territory, the greater the workload, and Xiao Ruxun's workload was about six times that of Qin Shi Huang and about twice that of Ming Taizu.

To this end, Xiao Ruxun made every effort to expand the scale of the central government, and expanded the Ming central government obtained from the Wanli Emperor on a large scale, and recruited loyal and capable officials from all over the country to work in it, greatly increasing the number of officials and departments of the central government.

Among them, those who were particularly outstanding in the land reform work and those who were particularly outstanding in the process of marching were given special attention and transferred to various key departments, while those who were top in the work in the key departments were decisively transferred to the cabinet.

Xiao Ruxun's cabinet is slightly different from the cabinet of the former Ming Dynasty, whether it is the number of officials, the grade of officials, and the responsibilities of officials.

Today, there are more than 200 cabinet officials, who are connected with different government departments under the cabinet, which is in line with Xiao Ruxun's request to achieve a seamless connection of "no prevarication".

Any form of prevarication is not allowed, and each department has a direct and clear connection with the officials, and if there is a problem, the docking officials are directly held accountable.

From the local government to the general administration department to the cabinet to the administrative department, the cabinet has taken on a very important responsibility, and cabinet officials are responsible for contacting and dealing with every detail.

Among them, the Department of Communications has played a very important role.

In the former Ming Dynasty, the local recitals were sent to the cabinet through the General Administration Department, and then processed, and the cabinet could not handle it before it was reported to the emperor, but with the decline of imperial power and the increase in the power of the ministers, whether the tables could be sent to the emperor basically depended on the meaning of the ministers.

With the further expansion of the power of civil servants and the increasingly fierce party struggle, some people even regard the control of the general administration department as a very important part of the party struggle.

Because in this way, you can directly intercept some recitals that are unfavorable to yourself, and directly send the recitals that are unfavorable to the enemy to the cabinet or the emperor.

They used the power of the General Administration Department to sort and fold up to the heavens as a weight in party struggle.

Ignoring the interests of the country, when there is a disaster in the local area and the people of Lebanon are eager for help, they are discussing how to use the disaster to kill their political enemies and treat the people as nothing, which is very hateful.

In order to avoid this situation, Xiao Ruxun has taken many measures.

Xiao Ruxun limited the authority of the General Administration Department, once there is a disaster in the locality, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, no matter how big, it will be directly sent to the emperor by the local government with an expedited 800 li, and this kind of matter will be handled by the emperor himself, and no official is allowed to handle it.

Among them, Xiao Ruxun ordered the local branch of the Central Investigation Department and the headquarters of the Central Committee to set up a second line, and when a disaster occurs, the local branch of the Central Investigation Department should also report to the emperor, and once one of them is delivered and one is not delivered, the investigation will be launched immediately.

These are the two lines on the surface, and Xiao Ruxun also arranged the third line in the dark, that is, the Heishui line.

According to the report of the secret line, Xiao Ruxun knew that there was a lot of conflict between Zhou Yao and Zhang Wu, and the relationship between the two was very poor.

After that, Xiao Ruxun decided to take advantage of Heishui's dissatisfaction with Heilu and give Heishui some of the power to clamp down on Heishui, so that Heishui could supervise the Central Investigation Department in charge of Heilu.

The black bird is in charge of the Central Investigation Department, with a large number of officials and great power, and if such a department produces a little lesion, it will also have very serious consequences.

It is easy to control in the central government, Xiao Ruxun can do it directly, but it is difficult in the local area.

For this reason, Xiao Ruxun decided to use the black water also arranged in the place to reverse supervise them, and this power was secretly granted to Zhang Wu by Xiao Ruxun, and Zhou Yao did not know.

Of course, if Zhou Yao knew and there were any signs that he knew and intended to make a difference, Xiao Ruxun would not mind sending Zhou Yao to see his unfortunate deceased relatives.

Even if he knows, he has to pretend not to know, if he is smart enough, he should pretend to be deaf and dumb for the rest of his life, and he must 'not know' until he dies, otherwise, when he 'knows', when will he die.

Three lines are used to ensure that Xiao Ruxun grasps local disasters in a timely manner, and for some daily government affairs, Xiao Ruxun also requires local governments to take the initiative to classify when reporting.

What kind of government affairs it is, whether it needs to be dealt with urgently, whether it is water conservancy, road repair, or river dredging, whether there are bandits or pirates, whether it is repairing the city, reinforcing the city defense, or repairing the storehouses in the city, these are the first things to be classified at the local level.

After the local classification and transportation, it will be sent to the Central General Administration Department, which will do the second sorting and delivery.

However, when the watch is sent, the local government will use the classification seal to stamp the corresponding large seal, and after arriving at the General Affairs Department, the General Administration Department will also be stamped with a large seal, and no matter which one of the large seals is missing, it will be directly held accountable.

The two kinds of seals are made of copper molds cast by Xiao Ruxun, the local is local, the central is the central, the patterns of the big seals are different, the fonts are different, and the copper molds are stored in the palace by special guards, and the local and central officials can not make trouble from it.

After ensuring the smooth flow of information, Xiao Ruxun also reshuffled the cabinet.

The officials in the cabinet are divided into several groups, and the group leaders and team members have a certain degree of authority to deal with things, and some trivial matters are handled by them in accordance with the clear rules and regulations determined by Xiao Ruxun.

When they have finished dealing with it, they will conduct a cross-examination, and if there is a disagreement with each other, they will re-discuss and deal with it to ensure that mistakes are kept to a minimum, and those that have crossed their authority will be sent directly to the ministers.

Each cabinet minister has three to five assistant officials to help the cabinet minister handle relatively large and wide-ranging government affairs together, and the cabinet minister also has clear authority to deal with affairs.

Recitals that exceed this authority are sent directly to the emperor, and the emperor is at his discretion.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun has a certain number of notes to deal with personally every day, and even some tricky sheets that the ministers feel cannot handle have to be reported to him, so that he can judge what to do, and at the end of the day, he is really very tired.
