Chapter 12: Migration (I)

"This" Hu Dahai took some effort to fully understand Luo Ben's words, smiled, and said in a low voice: "This method is indeed unique, at least the officials at the government and county levels can perceive the people's feelings in time, and will not be fooled by the officials and the wealthy family!" ”

"It is true that some of the good governance of the lord needs to be practiced for a period of time before he can appreciate the wonders of it!" Robben secretly glanced at Zhu Chongjiu, and commented with a little bit of sycophancy.

"So what?" Liu Ji was not happy in his heart, so he unceremoniously pointed out the flaws, "From ancient times to the present, when what decree was first established, it was not unimpeded? However, it didn't take a few years for someone with a heart to take advantage of the loophole. It seems that Wang Shouyi just now, if there is a profiteer behind him to stuff some money to him, and then hire hundreds of people to help him co-sign. Then he bought off the various officials and said the many benefits of this proposal. The county magistrate and the government of Yangzhou City, won't they still be played by profiteers? ”

"Liu joins the army, this is over, although Luo is stupid, he is not a blind person! Don't dare to eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse, you have to bear the trust of the general manager! Although Robben is Liu Ji's junior, he can't stand this uncle in front of him, comparing the chief officials at the prefectural and county levels to prostitutes. Immediately blushing, he retorted in a low voice.

"Liu just made an analogy! It may not be you! Only then did Liu Bowen realize that he had accidentally injured another friendly soldier. Chong Robben arched his hand, and he deserved to make amends.

"The heads of counties and governments in other places may not all be fools who don't eat the fireworks of the world!" Zhang Song took the opportunity to interject, deliberately amplifying Liu Bowen's words and making more enemies for the latter.

"It depends on who is the official!" Liu Bowen was worried that he had no one to vent, and quickly turned his attention to him. "Luo Zhifu is Liu's fellow disciple, of course he knows the severity. But if you change some people who only know how to bully them, they really don't necessarily! For example, those dog officials of Dayuan on Yangzhou Road back then"

"You" Zhang Song happened to be one of the dog officials, and he was immediately so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick.

Seeing that the two were about to fight-for-tat on the spot, Zhu Chongjiu had to knock on the table again to stop it. "Okay, Berwyn, Director Zhang has always worked hard, don't use him as a punching bag. Yongnian, you don't have to worry too much. Many of our Huaiyang's secrets can not be leaked, and the Internal Affairs Department has made great contributions! ”

"Yes, my lord!" When Zhang Song heard this, he immediately got up and said, "The lord didn't suspect that the ministers had stooped to take prisoners, but he treated the ministers like a heart. Weichen, Weichen, at that time, I made an oath at that time, in this life, in this life, I will be repaid! ”

These words were originally half-truths and half-truths, but after he said them himself, they touched the pain in his heart. With his head lowered, two lines of tears slowly flowed all over his face.

When Liu Bowen saw it, he was so disdainful. But some excessively sharp words can no longer be spoken. After all, Zhang Song has exposed his biggest shortcoming, and if someone continues to deliberately target him, it will be equivalent to pinching soft persimmons. Instead of getting the support of his colleagues, he is prone to falling into the impression of being a bully.

"Okay, I know your hard work!" Zhu Chongjiu saw Zhang Song crying, and he also felt that he couldn't chill this person's heart. first comforted him, and then added in a deep voice, "If you want to do a good job in the errand of the Internal Affairs Department, you will definitely offend many people. But don't worry, the credit for your achievements over the years, Su Changshi and I have seen it in our eyes. I don't have the right person to replace you right now, so you'll have to work hard for another two years. When the younger generations grow up in the future, I will allow you to be transferred to another position, Yongnian, what do you think? ”

"Lord, thank you for your love! Unforgettable! When Zhang Song heard this, he was so happy that he immediately couldn't care about shedding tears again. A long bow will go down, and he is unwilling to straighten his waist for a long time.

In addition to being slippery, he is more innate cautious in his temperament. knows his current role, which is very similar to the cool officials such as Hou Feng and Lai Junchen in history. And he himself has no foundation in the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, if he makes too many enemies, sooner or later he will fall into the same fate as Hou Feng, Lai Junchen and others. Therefore, I wish to hand over the errand of the Internal Affairs Department as soon as possible, even if it is a level or demotion transfer, I am willing.

Today, he was finally agreed by Zhu Chongjiu in public, and when he had the opportunity, he would be appointed separately. How can Zhang Song not be overjoyed? Therefore, even with Liu Ji, he no longer holds a grudge, but has a lot of gratitude in his heart.

"Okay, don't be too happy, let's train the right talent for me first!" Seeing Zhang Songhuan become like this, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

He asked himself if he was not a cold person, but the traditional concept of this era, it seems that those who can achieve great things will definitely be ruthless and unrighteous. The term "lonely person" is actually the most appropriate. As soon as you sit in that chair, you quickly break away from the human realm. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a monster, and there was no warmth in his heart.

Zhu Chongjiu didn't want to become a monster, even if he lost some power in the future, he didn't want to raise his sword against the loyal followers around him. Therefore, he thought about it again, and said to everyone with a smile: "What Liu joined the army just now, although it was excessive. But it also gave everyone a wake-up call. As our stall in Huaiyang gets bigger and bigger, it is inevitable that some people will be lazy among the hundreds of officials. Therefore, the two chief historians and officials have to be more serious in terms of supervision and assessment. If you can figure out how to prevent it from happening, try not to wait until something goes wrong below and then fix it! ”

"Obey the order, the old minister will live up to the trust!" When Su Mingzhe and Lu Lu heard this, they immediately stood up and saluted.

"I remember that over there in Mengyuan, there is the Imperial Historical Observatory, which is specially responsible for picketing the good and evil of hundreds of officials, and the gains and losses of politics?" Zhu Chongjiu smiled and nodded, and then asked Lu Luzeng in a low voice.

In his early years, Lu Lu used to be the imperial historian of Mengyuan. Of course, I know everything about it. Therefore, he arched his hand and responded with a smile: "The lord is very right!" Yushitai is a rank from a product. The status is slightly lower than that of Zhongshu Province, but it is not under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province. Set up two doctors, from one product; Zhongcheng two members, two products; two members of the imperial history, from the second grade; Two members of the imperial history of the scribe, the third product"

"You might as well move here!" Zhu Chongjiu waved his hand and interrupted with a smile, "We don't need to be so detailed, just set up a supervision office, what do you think?" ”

"Good!" Without waiting for others to respond, Su Mingzhe preemptively expressed his position.

As the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion became bigger and bigger, the burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier. Therefore, I wish to set up a few more institutions to share some government affairs for myself. It's also good to give yourself time to relax and enjoy the life of high-ranking officials, beautiful wives and concubines.

"The minister thinks that the position of the Supervision Department is too low to audit hundreds of officials. And if the procuratorial office is placed too high, it will cause an imbalance in the internal bureaucratic system of the Huaiyang Governor's Office. Therefore, the lord should also follow the example of Zhongshu Province, set up a few more institutions, and work together to undertake state affairs for the lord! Lu Lu Zeng took a step slower and considered it.

As the elder of Zhu Chongjiu and Lu Shuang'er, he is now doing his best to set up a relatively complete operating system for Huaiyang. In that case, even if he can't see his grandson-in-law ruling the world in his lifetime, at least the official system of the new dynasty comes from his hands. The descendants of the Lu family will always be under his shadow.

"I Huaiyang didn't have much war in the first half of this year, and it was time to reorganize the official system! Otherwise, when you win the championship in the future, you will suffer from it! Although his colleagues still can't get along, Liu Ji is very conscientious when discussing serious matters. Arched his hand and added very seriously.

"Weichen seconded Liu's words to join the army!"

"Weichen thinks that the lord should decide the official system as early as possible in order to plan for the future!!"

Weichen thinks that what the two Changshi and Liu joined the army say makes sense! Since the lord has been named Duke Wu, the left minister, and the official system under his command should also be readjusted! ”

"Wechen thinks"

Other civil and military officials on the ship also stood up one after another and expressed their positions in low voices. The re-establishment of the official system means that Zhu Chongjiu is one step closer to being called a lonely widow, and everyone will have the opportunity to be promoted. So at this moment, who has a reason to risk the world's condemnation?

"Then settle on it!" Zhu Chongjiu has always been able to follow the good as the stream, and make decisions with a wave of his hand. "Under the Great Governor's Office, a government affairs yuan was first set up, and Su Changshi was also the governor of the government affairs yuan, presiding over the daily work. Lu Changshi was transferred from the first army commander to the right deputy governor of the Government Council, and other positions remain unchanged! Feng joined the army as the commander of the First Army and the left deputy governor of the Privy Council. Other internal positions are up to the three of you! Then select from within the six rounds as appropriate! ”

"Ministers should do their best!" Su Mingzhe, Lu Luzeng and Feng Guoyong immediately bowed together.

"The Governor, who is slightly more than half a level above the directors of the bureaus, and the deputy governor, is on par with the heads of the bureaus. The specific corresponding level will be determined by the Government Council. In addition to the Military Bureau and the Industrial Bureau, the Government Council directly governs the other six bureaus. Daily trivial matters, as well as the appointment and dismissal of officials below the prefectural order, are discussed and decided in the Government Council. If a decision cannot be made in the Government Council, or if it exceeds the scope of the decision, it will be handed over to the Governor, or handed over to the Governor's Office to convene a public meeting of hundreds of officials! Zhu Chongjiu thought about it and added loudly.

He is no longer the Zhu butcher of the past, he is becoming more and more proficient in handling daily government affairs, and he also has a relatively complete set of plans for the future of the entire Huaiyang system. Therefore, every gesture showed a self-confidence that could not be concealed.

"Yes!" When Su Mingzhe and Lu Luzeng and the others met, they only had joy in their hearts, where would they think of obstructing it? They bowed down again and shouted their orders.

"Parallel to the Government Council, plus the Supervisory Yuan and the Privy Council!" Taking advantage of the high morale of the people, Zhu Chongjiu simply struck while the iron was hot, "The Supervision Yuan is similar to the Imperial History Observatory of Mengyuan, with one governor, one deputy governor on the left and one on the right, and the level is the same as that of the Government Affairs Yuan. Specially responsible for picketing the good and evil of hundreds of officials, political gains and losses, if necessary, you can ask for orders with the general manager and call for cooperation with the personnel of the internal affairs department! The head of the Ministry of Rites Lu was transferred to the governor of the Supervision Yuan, Chen Ning, the deputy director of the Household Bureau, and Wei Guan, the deputy director of the Criminal Bureau, were respectively transferred to the left and right deputy governors. The vacant positions of the three were discussed by the Government Council and the officials of the various ministries, and the meritocracy was selected and inaugurated after the public consultation of the Grand Governor's Office! ”

"Minister, I will live up to the trust of the lord!"

"Weichen, thank you for the grace of the promotion!"

Those whose names were called stood up and saluted. In particular, Chen Ning and Wei Guan, who were only recommended by Jixian Academy in the autumn of the previous year, were in prominent positions in less than two years, and their voices were choked with excitement and tears filled their eyes.

"You may be seated!" Zhu Chongjiu smiled and nodded at everyone, motioning for everyone to return to their respective seats. Then he took another breath and announced in a loud voice, "The Privy Council is headed by the Governor-General." It is also in charge of the Military Bureau, the Industrial Bureau, the Military Intelligence Department, the Internal Affairs Department, the General Staff Headquarters and the Great Craftsman Academy. ”

"As it should be!" Su Mingzhe and Lu Luzeng took the lead in echoing.

"No one can do this unless the lord is up to it!" Zhang Song, Chen Ji, Luo Ben, Yu Changlin and other young officials also expressed their positions.

The War Bureau and the General Staff involve military power, and military power is the most important thing, and no prince will hand it over to anyone else to take it on his behalf. As for the Great Craftsman Academy, the Military Intelligence Department, and the Internal Affairs Department, they are Zhu Chongjiu's originality, and others want to manage it, but they don't know how to manage it. Only the Ministry of Industry, whose name sounds somewhat similar to the Ministry of Industry, but the daily tasks it performs are to make artillery, guns and many other things related to the fundamentals of Huaiyang. So it couldn't be better that these six departments were under the Privy Council.

However, Zhu Chongjiu's next appointment of personnel to the Privy Council surprised everyone. "There is no governor in the Privy Council, and the left deputy governor is concurrently the chief of the general staff, and the right deputy governor is the chief of the military bureau. From now on, Liu Bowen will be the chief of the General Staff, and Liu Ziyun will also be the deputy governor of the left. All other posts are recommended by the directors of the bureaus under the Privy Council, and by the commanders of the legions. After being assessed by the deputy governors, they will be appointed by the governor himself! ”
