601st New Officers Take Office with Three Fires 4 9th Change

Of course, there are special cases, such as transporting horses from the Great Food Country to the Great Song Kingdom, not only can they be exempted from taxes, but they can also get the goods they want first.

Cai Dao was using money and a good return of profits to encourage the merchants of the Great Food Country to vigorously trade horses, although the sea transportation would definitely cause some horses to die at sea, but the profits generated by the goods they brought back were more than enough to compensate for their losses.

It was precisely by taking advantage of this that Cai Dao began to slowly break through the restrictions imposed by the Western Xia Kingdom and the Great Liao Kingdom on the horse trade of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, vigorously promoting the technology of breeding horses in the face, so that the shepherds who raise horses are profitable, is also the next thing Cai Dao will spend a lot of effort to do.

In Wang Anshi's reforms, the Baoma Law and the later Minmu were not good legal systems.

If you want to improve the current situation of the lack of horses in the Great Song Dynasty, you must not only increase the number of horses, but also try to improve the quality of war horses like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty traded Wusun horses and Dawan horses from the Western Regions and even farther Central Asia, which greatly improved the quality of the war horses of the Han Dynasty, which gradually gained the upper hand in the previous wars against the Xiongnu.

If the quality of the war horse is too poor, I am afraid that it will not be enough to rely on the two genius generals Wei Qing and Huo Quzhi.

Today, Cai Dao has many high-quality stallions in his hands, and after the crossbreeding of Arabian horses and Hexi horses, their populations have formed into numbers. Today, the horses are still kept on Tamna Island.

Cai Dao planned to transport them all to Luoyang after a while.

The whole Luoyang Mansion, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, the mountains and rivers and hills in the territory are staggered, the mountainous area accounts for nearly fifty percent, the hilly area accounts for forty percent, and the plain area is only a little more than one percent. Therefore, the area around Luoyang Mansion is still more suitable for grazing.

The large-scale elimination of the landlord class in the north is the one thing Cai Dao wants to do the most.

The third fire, digest redundant officials, not eliminate redundant officials.

The imperial power is not under the county.

There is a lot of debate about this proposition.

In Cai Dao's cognition, this phenomenon should have originated in the Later Han Dynasty established by Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

This emperor, who was praised by later generations, in fact, sent his identity and surname, his background was lower than his ancestor Liu Bang, and it was higher than Zhu Quanzhong of Later Liang and Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, Liu Xiu is just a half-farmer who farms at home with his Han clan relatives and half-reads.

It was in the Eastern Han Dynasty that the strength of the family gradually rose, and local government affairs were controlled by the wealthy surnames of the families in various places. And Liu Bang was able to start a pavilion chief, and the mosquito official position actually disappeared in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Since then, those lieutenant chiefs, security chiefs or village chiefs below the county level have all served as local tyrants and inferior gentry, or patriarchs in big families.

The power of the country is not under the county, but the clan under the county, the clan is autonomous, the autonomy depends on ethics, and ethics creates the squire.

In this way, it became even worse in the Great Song Dynasty, and lynching was rampant in the countryside.

After deliberation with the six prime ministers, Cai Dao unanimously decided that the north should now start the fact, and the imperial power will be issued under the decree of the county.

The first step was to bring the officials below the county level into the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials, and restore the pavilion chief, who was an exceptionally important mosquito official.

The lieutenant governor and the township chief are appointed by the prefect and the prefect, and these people are not locals, but students who graduate from Taixue or Guozijian every year. The pavilion chief was a retired soldier of the forbidden army.

At this moment, it can not only allow the redundant officials to have something to do, so as not to waste their salaries in vain, but also allow the relationship between the court and the local government to maintain a stable state of sending down and down the feelings.

Just the northern region has digested the redundant officials in the DPRK and the central government at once, and in this way, there are still many vacancies that cannot be filled for the time being.

Cai Dao and the six prime ministers further solidified the standards and years of training and promotion of civil and military officials.

It takes a minimum of six years for a civil official to grow from the head of the township to the head of the township, and the longest to do it for a long time shall not exceed 12 years, that is, the term of office of a chief is three years, not more than two terms, if the term of office is two consecutive terms, and the bad evaluation of the Shangguan and the imperial history at the same time, the term of office is over, even if such a person is young, he can only resign. Of course, Cai Dao also gave such a person a chance to speak, after all, no one can guarantee that the local supervisor Yushi will not collude with the prefect of Zhizhou.

If they are admitted to the Jinshi, they will be lucky, because the initial official position they are awarded will skip the lieutenant chief or township head, and it is also a three-year term.

And the generals are more miserable, of course, the martial arts will continue to be held, however, the name has been changed, the Royal Army Academy of the Great Song Dynasty. Cadets recruited from all over the country can serve in the forbidden army once they graduate, or go to the local area to serve as a pavilion chief. Veterans of the Forbidden Army are not the only source of pavilion chiefs.

Their term of office is six years, which Cai Dao cannot change.

Ten miles and a long pavilion, the official position of the pavilion chief is slightly larger than that of the li chief, but the pavilion chief only supervises local defense, and thieves, and his authority is very limited.

After that, the Empress Dowager also personally decreed that in the future, local races would no longer have the right to execute themselves privately, and all sentences should be handed over to the judgment of the judge of a county. After the county order, civil litigation was no longer supervised, and criminal proceedings were still led by the county order, and the general judgment was jury with the county order.

In addition, the right to the local death penalty was also ordered to be withdrawn. Condemned prisoners from all walks of life in the north had to be escorted to Bianliang City, while those from the south were sent to Jiangning Province.

After this decree was issued, the whole world was in an uproar, and the southerners did not do it at all, while the patriarchs of the local clans in the north were worried. At the local level, there were even rare rebellions. Cai Dao took the opportunity to send the forbidden army in Bianliang City to attack and sweep away the rebellion and the bandits and robbers around it.

The leader of the team is naturally not Pan Xiong and Cao Hu, but those Taihangzhai bandits who have now all been whitewashed. Those who are willing to follow Du Menghu and You Feixiong have already gone to Shikoku Island to have a good time, and those who stay are willing to follow Cai Dao to clear their identities.

These people are naturally soft-footed shrimp when they fight with the enemy, but when they meet their peers, they are stronger than these so-called strongmen in the south of Taihang Village, and everywhere they go, those so-called dangerous cottages are all razed to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Dao also issued a religious decree.

The religious decree stipulates that in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, except for Taoism and Buddhism, other religions can only establish a missionary base in Bianliang City, and religious people must also live in Bianliang City. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a cult.
