In 1853, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Feng Yunshan announced the establishment of the Shengwang Palace. The original temple officials www.biquge.info automatically turned into subordinate officials of the Holy King's Palace.

After hearing that Luo Xuan, Lin Fengxiang, Chen Tianshi and others led their troops to completely occupy Gao Leiqiong and other three mansions, Feng Yunshan sent Zhang Bashan in Guangzhou City to lead the B 2nd Brigade to Qiongzhou Mansion to garrison and replace an infantry regiment of the 1st Division A over there. Zheng Yuanbo was also sent to lead the 1st Brigade to Gaozhou, Leizhou and other places to garrison.

Then, the local village and town system implemented during the Yongzhou land reform pilot project was comprehensively promoted in Liangguang and the rest of the occupied areas, and the local village and town system was established and improved.

To this end, the Holy King Feng Yunshan promulgated the "Detailed Rules for the Establishment of Institutions at All Levels in the Holy King's Palace", which stipulates that all areas occupied by the Liangguang and other captive armies will officially implement the institutional settings stipulated in the detailed rules.

Every five households are a team, and every twenty-five households, that is, each family of five families is a village team, and a team leader is set up to manage the daily production and life of 25 households.

Each team has a small warehouse to keep the production materials owned by the public, and share ploughing oxen, large iron plows, windmills, waterwheels and other materials for each family to use in turn.

According to Feng Yunshan's vision, this squad became the smallest grassroots unit, equivalent to the villager group in later generations, but it strengthened the role of the collective, so that the 25 households became a whole, the smallest rural commune organization in the countryside.

For every ten or so squads, set up as a village. Each village elects a village head, an account office and a treasury, and is responsible for managing the daily production and life of 200 to 300 households. The village chief, the bookkeeper and the pawn keeper are all part-time, with a small salary, which is paid by the whole village.

Each village has a village-level warehouse, which not only keeps the production materials owned by the public, but also stores the money and grain issued by the higher departments as a backup. Of course, if they do not return it, they will deduct their belongings in the public warehouse, and even send a township official to enforce the return.

A township or town should be established for every 10 villages. If there are more than 2,000 people in the territory, it is a township, and if there is a scale of more than 2,000 people, it is called a town.

At the same level as the township and township, there shall be a township chief or a deputy head of the township, and a number of other people, such as an account office, a treasury, a tax collector, a police officer, a doctor, a teacher, etc., which shall be under the jurisdiction of the township and town head, and the salary shall be paid by the superior.

A township treasury or township treasury is set up in the township to store the production materials shared by the whole township and township, as well as all kinds of utensils issued by the superior institutions, which are jointly managed by the account office and the treasury.

The tax collector is responsible for the household registration inventory and land measurement, classification and land division of the whole township and village, and most importantly, the accounting and collection of grain tax. Each township has a tax office, which is also managed by the tax collector. The grain tax of the people of each village shall be paid to the tax office.

Each township has set up a police station, which is managed by a police division, and is responsible for the recruitment and preliminary training of recruits in the township, as well as daily small civil disputes and arbitration, and of course, the biggest task is to be responsible for the security of the township, arrest thieves and criminals, and organize the police station to assist the local reserve to resist the invasion of enemy forces.

An infirmary was set up, managed by physicians, to treat the people of the township and prevent the plague.

Set up a small farmer training center, managed by teachers, to teach local children under the age of 14 during the day, both male and female, to enlighten all kinds of Chinese and Western studies; In the evenings, local villagers are taught skills such as literacy, planting, breeding and crafts.

Each township has a branch of the China Revival Association, and Feng Yunshan stipulates that the township mayor must be selected from among the members.

In principle, counties or prefectures are still divided according to the original area, so that the townships and towns under each prefecture and county are not the same.

The prefectures and counties still continued the general inconvenience of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the original Zhizhou and Zhixian were renamed as governors and county magistrates, with one principal and one deputy, and nominally appointed by the Holy King to take charge of the political affairs of the whole state (county) for the Holy King.

A county or state government has been set up, with six departments: general affairs, finance, academic affairs, medical affairs, police affairs, and public works.

Among them: general affairs and personnel management and civil affairs; financial management accounts, financial food, and taxes; Educational discipline and propaganda of rituals; medical management of disease treatment and plague control; police management of summonses and litigation, arrest of criminals, public security mediation, recruitment of recruits, resettlement of soldiers, etc.; Public works is responsible for the management of craftsmen, urban construction, water conservancy, transportation, factories and mines, etc.

In particular, the affairs of the five departments of general affairs, finance, academic affairs, police affairs and public works are complicated, and there is a lot of manpower required.

The prefects and subordinate officials at the prefecture and county and township levels have their salaries to subsistence, and the salaries are paid by the state and county finances according to the registration prescribed by the Holy King.

In each prefecture and county, a peasant training center is established, which is managed by the provost of the prefecture and county. Teaching and learning activities are carried out day and night. Outstanding and intelligent teenagers or villagers are selected from each township and town, and all kinds of knowledge are taught in a centralized and unified manner, and after passing the inspection, they are sent to the important places of the state capital or the army to be entrusted with important tasks.

In addition, the provost also had to organize rotating personnel to go to various towns every quarter to publicize various evil deeds since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, such as the Ten Days in Yangzhou, the Three Massacres in Jiading, and the Guangzhou Massacre, so as to scandalize the Manchu court.

In each prefecture and county, a people's hospital was set up, which was managed by the chief medical officer, opened a cheap pharmacy, hired Lang Zhong to sit in the hall to treat the sick, and was responsible for training the female medical soldiers.

Each county has a police bureau, which is managed by the chief of police, and is responsible for recruiting recruits for the whole state and county, as well as daily civil disputes, arbitration, and law and order for the whole county, and manages the local reserve soldiers in the state and county, and is responsible for guarding and resisting foreign invasions.

Each prefecture and county has its own tax bureau, and the grain tax paid by the following towns and villages is deposited in the general treasury of the tax bureau and handed over to the higher authorities on a regular basis.

Similarly, each prefecture and prefecture is still divided according to the original scope, but all prefectures are changed to prefectures to distinguish them from prefectures and counties. For example, Chenzhou was originally the Zhili Prefecture in the south of the paste, and there were 5 counties under its jurisdiction, including Yongxing, Yizhang and Xingning, which were changed to Chenzhou Prefecture, and the counties under its jurisdiction remained unchanged.

At the prefectural level, like prefectures and counties, the institutions and official positions are similar, but the scope has been changed from counties to prefectures.

At the provincial level, because the army only has two provinces, it is not divided, and it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Holy King's Mansion to each province.

The Shengwang Palace, at the central level, consists of ten subordinate agencies, including the Ministry of General Affairs, the Ministry of Propaganda, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Finance and Taxation, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Medical Education, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Public Works.

The General Affairs Department is responsible for all kinds of administrative and daily management affairs of the Holy King's Palace, as well as civil affairs.

The Propaganda Department was deliberately divided by Feng Yunshan from the original Ministry of Rites, and the purpose of the newly established department was naturally to strengthen propaganda, especially to the people.

The Ministry of Justice, on the other hand, is an agency that has been adapted from the Ministry of Punishment and is responsible for the punishment of the penal system.

The Ministry of Finance and Taxation was changed from the original household department to tax, levy, salary, financial currency and all financial matters, highlighting the importance of taxation.

The Ministry of the Interior was reorganized from the original Ministry of Officials, and its scope was expanded to become the Organization Department and the management body of various industries in later generations.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the foreign exchange department of the original Ministry of Rites, which is mainly responsible for foreign affairs, foreign trade, business transactions and other affairs.

The Police Department is independent of the Penal Department for the management of arrests, law and order, household registration and reserves, and is also responsible for the transmission of information.

The Department of Medical Education is divided into two parts: medical care and education.

The Ministry of Agriculture is separated from the Ministry of Household Affairs and is in charge of the management of the territory, fields, and water conservancy and other rural and peasant affairs in the jurisdiction.

The Ministry of Public Works is the original Ministry of Industry, which not only manages all engineering affairs, but also manages all the country's civil engineering, road traffic, machine manufacturing projects (including ordnance, munitions, military utensils, etc.), mining and metallurgy, textiles and other royal-funded factories and minerals, and includes the responsibility of researching advanced technology and unifying weights and measures.

Only the original military departments of the previous dynasties were reduced, because Feng Yunshan newly established the army of the prisoners, and the army was completely under his control, so for the time being, he did not set up such an organization as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of National Defense. With him personally serving as the marshal of the captive army and the chief of the general staff of the General Staff, there is basically nothing that cannot be coordinated.

Moreover, there are too few talents available to him now, and more importantly, he wants to slowly separate the military and the government, so there is no military department on the part of the royal palace.

……

After completing the establishment of basic institutions at all levels, Feng Yunshan announced that all the occupied areas would carry out comprehensive land reform in accordance with the policy of land reform in Yongzhou. Measure and divide the land and divide the fields.

The original "Shengguo Tianmu System" is still in effect.

All the people under the rule of the Holy King who joined the household registration of the Holy Kingdom would be assigned to a certain village in a certain county or township, and according to the "Sacred Country Farmland System", as long as they could pay the grain tax on time, they could be allocated a piece of land according to the standard of the village.

As for the taxation at all levels, Feng Yunshan specially stipulated that all taxes should be used by the royal government in a unified manner. The local government is not allowed to withhold taxes for the time being, and local money and grain must be allocated from top to bottom by the Holy King's Palace.

In addition, the amount of money and grain allocated shall be controlled by the royal government according to the amount paid by the government and the actual amount used.

However, Feng Yunshan also left a small opening. It is to encourage the cultivation of wasteland and the accumulation of fertile land, as for the resulting hazards such as cutting down trees, soil erosion, and environmental damage, Feng Yunshan does not consider these in this era when there are still a large number of hungry people.

For example, in a village, 250 households with a total of 1,500 people, after the town's tax collector measured and calculated, a total of 3,450 acres of land, if other neighboring villages do not apply to the town to allocate the village's land, then the village can be divided according to people, each person 2 acres of land, leaving 450 acres as the village's public mobile field.

A public mobile field is a field reserved in the village for villagers who will be born in the future or villagers who will move into the village in the future.

According to the grain tax standard according to the grade of the field formulated by the royal government, for example, in Yongzhou Prefecture, the medium paddy field is one stone of rice per mu, and the village has to pay 3,450 stone of rice to the town every year.

But there is a little autonomy in the village, which is the small mouth left by Feng Yunshan below. For example, the village can contract 450 mu of public mobile land to a villager at a price of 2 stone per mu, so that after deducting the grain tax handed over to the central government, it can earn 450 stone of rice.

In the same way, townships and counties can also use this method to retain some "tax revenue".

Through this kind of opening, local governments are encouraged to reclaim more wasteland and accumulate fertile land. (To be continued.) )
