Chapter 2: Ten Divisions, All Officials, Eight Paragraphs, Decisions, and Righteous Prescriptions
After talking about the industrial and commercial salt and iron minerals, Huang Wenbing continued: "The fourth paragraph is the matter of the division of military and political affairs on Shandong Road. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info now Shandong Road open town, the imperial court named the lord as the Liangshan Festival Envoy, Mrs. Lu Guo, Shandong Road Xuanfu Envoy, so the Lord will be stationed in Jeju place, then set up a Xuanfu envoy in Jeju to guard the house, overseeing the military and political affairs of Shandong Road. In the town guard mansion, there are ten divisions and departments, which are in charge of various things. The ten departments are: the Military Affairs Division, the Agricultural Affairs Division, the Taxation Division, the Officials Affairs Division, the Criminal Affairs Division, the Public Works Division, the Commerce Division, the Household Affairs Division, the Service Division, and the Educational Affairs Division. ”
Lu Junyi said: "These ten divisions sound quite familiar, are these military affairs divisions, official affairs divisions, criminal affairs divisions, public works divisions, and household affairs divisions the military department, official department, criminal department, engineering department, and household department under Shangshu Province?" ”
Sanniang said with a smile: "Exactly, it's just that we are small in the town and the temple, so we don't have to get a Shangshu Province to manage it, and the six departments and twenty-four divisions under the imperial court Shangshu Province, many functions also coincide, and there is no need for so many, our family business is small, and we can't afford to raise so many redundant officials, so we are all merged into ten departments and departments to take charge of their affairs." ”
After a pause, Sanniang said: "The Military Affairs Department is in charge of soldiers and horses, drill training, weapons, military rations, pensions, military merits, military ranks, etc. The Department of Officials is in charge of the generals and officials of the states and counties on Shandong Road. The Department of Taxation is the general manager of tax payments. The Department of Criminal Affairs is in charge of criminal matters and justice. The Department of Public Works is in charge of the construction of embankments, bridges, roads, and cities. The Department of Commerce is in charge of business and commerce. The Household Affairs Department is in charge of grain storage, money allocation, and financial endowment. On the surface, the service department is in charge of logistics, the villagers' volunteer army, local health and other miscellaneous matters, and secretly there is also the secret agent function of the White Lotus Sect, which is the intelligence and use function. The Department of Educational Affairs is to manage the local teachings, and next year I will still hold some exams and select some talents. ”
Lu Junyi said with a smile: "Our town guard mansion is full of all organs, if there are changes in the world in the future, these ten divisions are the government affairs team, and with a little expansion, they can be of great use." Zhu Wu said with a smile: "The military and political orders all come out of the town guard mansion, and the prefect and county sent by the imperial court will become the clay sculpture master." ”
Sanniang said with a smile: "It is the two ends of the yamen that open, which side is in charge of which side." Everyone laughed.
Then Sanniang said: "Each of these ten divisions has a chief and deputy officer, and each division under it has a department with different responsibilities, and each cao also has a chief and deputy officer. It's just that there are a lot of things now, and the West China Department has just arrived, and there are many capable officials in West China, so the ten departments and officials have not yet been selected, and they still want to listen to the suggestions of the princes. ”
When it comes to such a major matter, everyone was silent for a moment, and then Gongsun Sheng was the first to say: "Poor Dao has an idea, at this moment, the two soldiers and horses have just met, and they are not very familiar with each other, if it is inconvenient to elect the chief and deputy officials of the Ministry of Affairs first, one of these two people is the old man of Liangshan, and the other is the old man of Huaxi, so that they are all familiar with their respective people, and then they will first nominate candidates, and then discuss and decide." ”
Sanniang bowed her head and said: "This method is good! Then he looked at Zhu Wu and Huang Wenbing and said: "The one we are most familiar with the competent officials in West China here is Zhu Junshi, and here in Liangshan, Huang Junshi has also been working in Liangshan for a long time, and he is also familiar with the head, so you two will serve as the chief and deputy director of the Ministry of Affairs first." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Junyi and Gongsun Sheng all applauded and praised the goodness, and after Huang Wenbing heard the words, he took the initiative to get up and said: "Zhu Junshi has been with the lord for a long time, and Xiao Ke was added later, so he was willing to be his deputy to assist Zhu Junshi in determining the major matters of the candidates for the chief officers of each department. ”
Zhu Wu hurriedly got up and said: "No, Huang Junshi has been with the lord in recent years, and there are many capable generals here in Liangshan, but they are all unfamiliar to Zhu Wu. ”
Seeing the two say this, Sanniang immediately raised her hand and stopped: "There is no need to fight, Zhu Wu is the main and Huang Wenbing is the deputy, and he is in charge of the preparation for the establishment of the various departments and departments of the town guard mansion. Zhu Wu saw that he didn't dare to refuse, so he took the order with Huang Wenbing.
Huang Wenbing continued: "The fifth paragraph is the reorganization and training of military horses. After the West China Department came to the east and joined forces with the original soldiers and horses of Liangshan, there are now 240,000 elite soldiers and horses in Shandong Province. After the completion of the suppression of bandits by various armies and horses, all the departments gathered in Jeju and reorganized, with ten pawns as one lang, ten lang as one guard, ten guards as one school, and ten schools as one general, each general commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses, which was a team of 10,000 generals, that is, there were 24 10,000 generals. The remaining 140,000 generals were organized into field military horses under the command of the Liangshan Jiedu envoys, stationed in the Liangshan camp, trained in the morning and evening, and took turns to change guards with the local garrison military horses once a year. ”
Sanniang interrupted here: "Within the 240,000 generals, there are also two main generals and two deputies, and there is also a staff officer of the general team, a general training officer, and the rank is a general or above. In the past, the chief general of our first army had a lot of duties, and he was in charge of everything, getting on the horse to manage the march and fighting, getting off the horse to manage the camp grain and grass, and managing the training of military discipline in his spare time. The commander-in-chief of an army may still participate in every function, but only to give opinions, which may or may not be adopted by staff officers and discipline officers. But remember, above the battle, it is the chief general who has the greatest authority. In other words, once the battle begins, everything must be up to the commander. ”
The four of them all responded, and they all thought secretly, such a division of power, I am afraid that no one in the army can dominate, and it is really a good way to control the military horses. Sanniang continued: "Then the main generals of each 10,000-person general team will be rotated every three years and reassigned to the general team. The four of them were in the same place, and they secretly thought that in this way, the possibility of the military general holding military power was completely eliminated.
Then Sanniang said: "The main generals of these 240,000 generals also need to be selected by the Ministry of Affairs, and then they will be included in the list, and they will be promulgated after I have discussed them with my senior brother and the Taoist chief." Zhu Wu and Huang Wenbing got up to receive the order.
Then Huang Wenbing read again: "The sixth paragraph is the matter of the navy. Now there are thousands of warships on the Liangshan Water Army, but they only occupy the inland waterways, and now Shandong Road opens the town, Denglai and other prefectures and counties have the sea, so the navy should march into the sea to protect the safety of our sea routes. Li Jun was specially ordered to go out to sea with a navy, renamed the navy, and surveyed two places in Laizhou Zhifu and Dengzhou Muping to build naval camps, build sea-going shipyards, build new sea-going ships, and train ocean-going naval generals. ”
Sanniang got up and spread out the map and said: "These two places are across the sea from Liaodong, if our navy can control the coast in the future, even if the Jin army really enters the Central Plains, I can also transport military horses through the navy, and directly copy his hometown. ”
Huang Wenbing said: "Meng Kang and others are quite proficient in shipbuilding, and they also have the shipbuilding skills of loach ships, which can carry hundreds of soldiers and horses, and they are expected to be safe at sea. Sanniang shook her head and said: "The flat bottom of the loach boat is difficult to resist the wind and waves at sea, I have some sea boat drawings here, but the pointed bottom of the sea boat, no oars and wheels, only rely on the sail to drive hard, I can see it with Meng Kang later, and I don't know if the craftsman can make it at this time." ”
Huang Wenbing said with a smile: "The lord said, the master is in the people, as long as there is a pattern, it is difficult to make it, but if there is a heavy reward, it will definitely be able to build a big boat." Sanniang bowed her head and said: "Exactly, this matter can be discussed with Meng Kang carefully, and one day, my sail warship will be on the sea." Well, the two naval camps of Laizhou Zhifu and Dengzhou Muping have also changed their names, Laizhou Zhifu has been renamed Weiyuan Navy Camp, and Dengzhou Muping has been renamed Weihai Army Camp. ”
Zhu Wu praised: "This change is good, it is the meaning of promoting the sea and spreading the sea." Huang Wenbing said with a smile: "Zhu Junshi robbed me of my words. Everyone burst out laughing.
Huang Wenbing then read: "The seventh important thing is that each ministry and army should first determine the expenditure plan of money, food, and property every year, and use it as a budget, and the tax department should also estimate the various tax revenues every year, so that at the beginning of each year, the town guard government can formulate the key points of governance. ”
Gongsun Sheng twisted his beard and said: "There is no advance fee, everything should be carefully calculated first, and there is a target, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort." Lu Junyi said with a smile: "Senior sister, this is the method of doing business every year to be used for governance. ”
Sanniang pouted and said: "This is called housekeeping, and there are many things that cost money, but it is worth it if you don't spend a penny." And after doing this, I have the bottom in my heart, and I won't end up, tear down the east and make up for the west, and mess up. ”
Huang Wenbing finally read: "The eighth paragraph is to teach the people, promote Confucius and Mencius Taoism, and talk about a hundred flowers contending. The Lord said that in the future, Shandong Road will start to test materials, and all walks of life will be eclectic to reduce talents. Encourage folk craftsmen to create new things and develop more novelties. He also summoned famous teachers such as folk Gewu and arithmetic to set up the Shandong Road Teaching Science Museum, which specializes in the principle of all things, the complexity of arithmetic, and the study of each subject for practical use. ”
When everyone was still puzzled, Sanniang opened her mouth and explained: "I talk about a hundred schools of thought on Shandong Road, and the Song Dynasty builds the country with literature, of course, literature and Confucianism are about the truth of being a man, but many times, I can be a man, but I don't know how to do things." Take the simple agricultural department as an example, after the states and counties reclaim wasteland, whether to plant grains or vegetables, or beans, or to plant mulberry hemp, these all need to understand agricultural people, everyone works together to agree carefully, and the guidance is to guide the down, otherwise Shandong grows grains all the way, there are no other beans, vegetables and fruits, and there is no mulberry hemp, which is a big fallacy. For example, if the Department of Public Works repairs bridges and paves roads, if you don't understand the knowledge within building bridges and paving roads, you can't do these things well. Therefore, I think that the officials of all departments and departments must always understand the truth contained in these things, so they are encouraged to start the examination and take materials, not sticking to one pattern, it doesn't matter if they don't understand Confucianism, but as long as they have a skill, they can be the only one!
