Chapter 1047 Provincial System

After successfully cleaning up the Wa Kingdom, the dogtooth children are indeed slacking off and arrogant...... It can be seen from the fact that he got a bunch of widows.

This kid may not really like it, but he knows that his father definitely doesn't like it, so he did it...... How's that, it's a bit of a rebellious teenager!

Wang Ningan knows his son's temperament very well, he didn't break it, and even accompanied the little guy to act, let the little guy swell up, and then find an opportunity to beat. Wang Ningan couldn't make his son fall very badly, but he was able to hold it high first, and the effect was almost the same if he fell down like this.

happened to emerge Wen Jifu, giving Wang Ningan the best chance.

Lo and behold, Dogtooth immediately couldn't sit still.

Daddy is old, the Wang family will point to him, in case he can't do it, he can't fight Wen Jifu, and he can't fight others...... Those enemies attacked the Wang family, what should I do with my father, what should I do with my mother, what should I do with my brother, what should I do with my sister?

The young master of Gouya'er is still very responsible, he asked Zhao Shu for orders, asked for 3,000 people, and immediately took the train to the Western Regions...... Wang Ningan is not worried about his son at all, the team in the Western Regions is still left by him.

Zhao Zongjing can be regarded as the quasi-father-in-law of the dog, can he bully him?

and Wang Ningxuan, that is the third uncle of Gouyaer.

As for the Western Regions to protect Murong Qingchen, that is Wang Ning'an's very important general, and Gouya'er also learned horseback archery with him when he was a child...... With such a configuration, Wang Ningan really couldn't worry.

As for the Dajin Kingdom of Wanyan Yingge, it can only be regarded as a potential threat!

Wang Ning'an sent an order to Wan Yan Yingge to pursue the remnants of the Khitan forces.

Wan Yan Yingge also nodded, and promised to send 30,000 horses to attack, but hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would provide some grain and grass support...... After Wang Ningan weighed it, he promised to give him 200,000 stone of grain, provided that he personally led the troops.

After a few rounds of correspondence between the two sides, Yan Yingge nodded.

He knows the strength of the Great Song Dynasty better than anyone else, and if the conditions allow, he also wants to develop westward, and he is really impatient to fight against the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Shu was a little lost, he came with 50,000 forbidden troops, he thought there would be a big battle, but he didn't even fire a shot, the remnants of the Khitan fled, and the Jurchens were basically obedient, looking around, there was a sense of loneliness of the master.

But soon Zhao Shu was not happy.

In the sixth year of Zhiping, there was a continuous spring drought, the grasslands lacked water, some tribesmen's horses and livestock died of thirst, hundreds of thousands of people lacked food, and barbarians from the north went south, looting and killing...... In the past, these were all dealt with by the Khitan, but now they have all fallen on the head of the Great Song Dynasty.

There are many rights and wrongs in a big family!

Zhao Shu finally felt tricky.

Such a large land, so many tribes, such a complicated situation...... What to do?

The same question has been asked more than once.

"I think I should come up with a solution!"

Zhao Shu looked at Wang Ningan and Wen Yanbo and said solemnly.

Wen Jifu's outstanding performance gave Lao Wen a long face.

Although Zhao Shu did not give him any position, but with the official title of Pingzhang Military Affairs, Lao Wen can participate in the discussion of the courtiers, after all, there are only two important ministers in Confucianism at the moment!

Wen Yanbo looked at Wang Ning'an, and when he saw that he lowered his head and didn't speak, Lao Wen understood that the first three were infested, and this was to let himself take the lead!

"Your Majesty, there are basically three ways in which we can govern our newly acquired territory...... First, just like the Western Regions, set up a capital protector, manage military affairs, and guard the place; The second is to send a governor, and the third is to send a governor, and the third is the Western Xia, which was directly incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty after being cleaned up. ”

He paused, "The old minister thinks that none of these three seem to be suitable for Liaodong. ”

Zhao Shu said: "Say it carefully. ”

"The Western Regions set up the capital to protect the horses, in order to deal with the Seljuk male cavalry, Liaodong does not have strong pressure, set up a governor, and the area of Liaodong is too large, it seems that the authority is too heavy! As for direct incorporation...... Lao Chen thought that Yunzhou might be able to, but other places would not be. ”

Needless to say, everyone understands it.

The reason why Western Xia was able to be incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty after Wen Yanbo tossed around was because of Yinzhou, Xiazhou, Hongzhou, Longzhou, Qingzhou, Ganzhou, and Liangzhou...... These places, which used to be the territories of the Central Plains, had long established prefectures and counties, but they were snatched away by the Western Xia, and now they have officially returned to the Great Song Dynasty and returned to their original owners.

However, in eastern Liaodong, there is still a vast grassland, the area is about the same as that of the Great Song Dynasty, but the population is only 2 million, and in some places, you may not be able to see a person after walking for more than ten days.

If you follow the model of the Great Song Dynasty, set up prefectures and counties, and assign officials, it will definitely not work!

After analyzing the situation, Wen Yanbo said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the above methods are all temporary measures...... If we want to expand the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, we must manage the territory well...... Rong Laochen said something excessive, the local government system and administrative divisions should be adjusted! ”

As soon as these words came out, even Wang Ningan was stunned.

He almost forgot that in addition to being thick-skinned, Lao Wen was still quite talented and insightful.

If you take a look at the map of the Great Song Dynasty, you will find that the situation in the original Great Song Dynasty is highly consistent...... For example, the population is dense, agriculture is the mainstay, and almost all of them are Han Chinese.

In such a relatively simple territory, it is very appropriate to set up state capitals and military counties, and then set up roads on them to divide the administrative regions of the whole country.

However, once the territory was expanded, the vast and sparsely populated Western Regions were added, and the nomadic Liaodong was added...... The climate is different, the people are different, the economic structure is different, and the population density is different...... If you want to set the existing model, you will only be cocooned.

Wen Yanbo continued: "Your Majesty, King Yan presides over the center and has adjusted the official system, but the two capitals have been adjusted, but the local area has not been adjusted...... I don't know what King Yan thinks? ”

When asked about himself, Wang Ningan smiled faintly.

"Brother Kuanfu is a wise man, and that's true...... It may not be appropriate to adjust it directly, so it is better to find a pilot first, and if it is feasible, then promote it to the whole country! ”

Pilot?

Where is it?

Two words surged up in the hearts of the three people almost at the same time: Liaodong!

That's right, it's the birthplace of the Khitan,

Yelu Jun ran away, Wan Yan Yingge was also transferred to pursue, the huge land is almost blank, you can deal with it as you want, you can be bold, experiment with new models, isn't it the best pilot!

"Liaodong is a good choice." Zhao Shu said: "But how to equip the new management system?" Does Master have any ideas? ”

Wang Ning'an pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the official positions in the capital are very complete, and they can follow the example of the capital and arrange another set." ”

Zhao Shu was puzzled, "Master, in this way, isn't it a conflict with each other?" ”

"No, just lower the level of the place by one level!"

Wang Ningan said confidently.

Zhao Shu was still confused, but Wen Yanbo was agile, and he heard it.

"Does King Yan mean that it must be fully configured by the level above the state capital, be able to operate on its own, be responsible for the administration of one party, and ensure the control of the imperial court?"

Wang Ningan stretched out his thumb, "Minister Wen is high!" ”

"So, what should I call it?"

Wang Ningan said again: "The political hall of the center is called Zhongshu Menxia, whether it is Zhongshu or Menxia, it is one of the three provinces, it is called the province in the court, and it is called the province outside, what does the minister think?" ”

"Provincial, provincial...... Traveling in provinces outside Beijing...... Yes, Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it can! Wen Yanbo immediately agreed.

With the name, the following are the subordinate officers...... First of all, the province must have a governor, which is called Pingzhangshi.

However, in terms of grade, there were differences of opinion among the monarchs and ministers.

For example, the bachelors of the Ming Dynasty only have five grades, and they usually have to add a few solitary teachers to lead a hundred officials, and the governor is the lowest is only four grades, but he can override the political envoys of the second grade, not to mention those sesame mung beans are big, but the energy is infinite to give things and patrol the imperial history.

The Great Song Dynasty also has such a problem, such as the three high-ranking officials, who are basically fictitious, and use Tongping Zhangshi as the prime minister.

Wang Ning'an had previously adjusted the position of the central official and changed it to Shangshu's left and right servants as the prime minister.

However, in terms of grade, Shangshu Zuo Servant is only from the second grade, in order to reflect the majesty of the prime minister, it is necessary to add the scholar of Zhaowenguan, or add the title of the third prince to justify the name.

In the past, there was only one political hall, and there was no doubt about it.

But now there are provinces, and the problem arises.

Since ancient times, China's 5,000-year-old state of etiquette has paid the most attention to hierarchical rules, and if even the number of etiquette is messed up, how can it be convincing.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is possible to add the title of Longtu Pavilion Bachelor or Hanlin Bachelor to the Pingzhang Affairs of the province as a distinguishing ......?"

Zhao Shu thought for a while and shook his head vigorously, "No, the last time the system was restructured, it was emphasized that power and responsibility should be equal, and now after the adjustment, many provinces will be added, or it will be a mess, isn't there no rules?" ”

"Then, that's going to be graded!" Although Wen Yanbo said so, he was happy in his heart, restructuring means opportunities, maybe he can get some benefits from his old man!

Zhao Shu pondered for a while, "Master, promote the prime minister to the first grade, the deputy minister to the first grade, the six Shangshu to the second grade, the provincial Pingzhang Shi, the same as the six Shangshu, Gu is the second grade, what does the master think?" ”

Wang Ningan bowed, "Your Majesty's arrangement is extremely appropriate, but for now, a province will be set up in Liaodong first, and there is no need for comprehensive adjustment for the time being, and it will be announced when the opportunity is ripe." ”

"Well, just do what Master wants!" Zhao Shu said again: "Under the province, what other official positions will be established?" ”

Wang Ning'an said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that two Pingzhang affairs should be set up, one is one and one is a vice, to oversee the affairs of the province, and at the same time, a political envoy should be set up to assist the Pingzhang affairs, and under the political envoy, six halls should be set up, corresponding to the six departments of the center...... At the same time, a governor was appointed to supervise all officials......"

Wang Ning'an kept talking, obviously, he had already worked hard to mix the provincial systems of the past dynasties, take their essence and remove their dross, and said Zhao Shu nodded again and again, and now there is only one question left, who is the first Pingzhang of Liaodong Province......
