Chapter 226 Seven Measures

Tired of a whole day,

However, when I think of the opportunity to come out with Tieguanyin tea and mechanical clocks, I feel a sense of pride in my heart, even though they are all pirated.

When I returned to the Ningqian Palace, which had been renamed Funing Palace, it was already more than half of the time (ten o'clock in the evening), fortunately, there were not many twists and turns tonight, and it was not difficult to give instructions, Quan Jiu had basically been dealt with, I just reviewed it, and wrote the word "can" at the end of the folds, and let Quan Jiu stamp the big seal one by one,

"Official, there is still one last letter left, this is a letter from Lord Wen Tianxiang, the content of which is to recommend Xie Fang to be appointed to Jiangnan West Road, that is, the future post of Jiangxi Provincial System Envoy."

"Xie Fangde." I thought about it and I didn't have any impressions.

"Yes, official, Jiu'er remembers that this person and Master Wen are on the same list."

"Well, let's take a look at the information and then discuss."

"Okay, then the official family should rest early."

"Wait a minute, Jiu'er, you go to sleep first, the provincial system reform will be carried out soon, and I want to study the official system of our dynasty again."

"Jiu'er is not sleepy, the official family reads the book, and Jiu'er will massage you."

"Yes." I picked up the book,

Each road in the Song Dynasty had four official positions: the pacification envoy (or the system envoy), the transfer envoy, the prison and the promotion of Changping, and there was no subordinate relationship between the officials at the road level, each responsible for a mess of affairs, and reported to the imperial court respectively, this system belongs to a typical separation of powers, rather than a unified model similar to the previous dynasty,

The power of the transfer envoy is very large, in charge of the finance of the road, once became the highest authority of the road, and it is also the smallest change in the four official positions, after a little pacification, Emperor Gaozong changed his name to pacify the envoy after crossing to the south, responsible for the management of the local army, nominally a military position, but has always been held by civilian officials, and often concurrently manages local administration, with part of the functions of the governor and military division commander in later generations, but can not manage the transfer envoy, mention the prison, etc., Mention the prison (referred to as the sentence), as the name suggests, this is a judicial surname of the official, mainly in charge of the prison affairs, some similar to the provincial procuratorate prosecutor general, mainly responsible for the review of major cases, the establishment of this position, fully embodies the Song Dynasty emperor's benevolence, the famous forensic doctor Song Ci served as the criminal officer, the promotion of Changping set up late, mainly responsible for the management of Changping relief, farmland and water conservancy, etc., these four positions are known as the four major supervisors along the way, in parallel, each performing its own duties, and at the same time supervising each other,

If you compare the history of China and the West, it is not difficult to find that China has mostly implemented a unified leadership model since ancient times, so the entire feudal society is almost a society ruled by man, until the overthrow of the Manchu political axe, it began to change, and the early stage of Western society, such as the Athenian city-state, advocated the so-called parliamentary system, which also laid the foundation for the later Western society to implement a modern parliamentary system.

The Song Dynasty may be an exception, but with the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the separation of powers no longer exists, even if the feudal dynasties of later generations have adopted it, but most of them are metaphysical, and they don't look like gods.

For the establishment of the provincial system, should I keep the four major supervisors or choose the provincial governor responsibility system in the future?

Recently, I have been struggling with this, each with its pros and cons, and it seems to be a difficult choice to choose.

I shook my head, sighed, and then inquired about another piece of information left by Li Zong, about the supervision system of the Great Song Dynasty, this system is still very strict, the supervision system of the Song Dynasty is all-round, multi-angle, from the central to the branch to the state and county, there is a set of supervision system, the imperial court itself adopts the traditional imperial history supervision system of our country, the imperial history of the Song Dynasty is only ranked in the prime minister, the privy envoy, the fourth after the three envoys, which shows its high status, according to the current arrangement, you can enter the Central Standing Committee, The function of the Imperial Historical Observatory is to picket official evil, correct discipline, and can impeach any official, even their official hats are different from other officials, but, because of the incompetence of many emperors in the Song Dynasty, so that the supervision of the imperial history often impeached hostile ministers under the guise of supervision, and gradually involved in the party struggle of the imperial court, since the second year of Ningzong Jiading (1209), the imperial court no longer set up the imperial history Zhongcheng, which to a certain extent has shown that there are problems in the operation of the country,

As for the separation of routes, because of the mutual supervision of the four major supervision departments, a supervision system has naturally been formed.

In the state and county, the Song Dynasty set up a position called Tongju, which is different from the Song Dynasty and previous dynasties, the responsibility of the Tongju is to supervise the state officials, this position was established in the Taizu Zhao Kuangyin period, its purpose is to supervise the state and county officials, especially the every move of the governor, the general judgment is basically directly appointed by the imperial court, like Jinhua Tongju Xing Fangzhuo was recommended by the prefect Ren Song, it is extremely rare,

Judging from the supervision system of the Song Dynasty recorded in the book, it is actually very comprehensive, in many periods, the government of the Song Dynasty is still clear, but in the later period, it has become rotten, this is not a problem of the system, it is indeed the problem of the people who implement the system,

Although the official rank is lower than that of the prefect and the prefecture, he can supervise the integrity of local officials, and if there are violations of the rules, he can directly report the materials to the imperial court without going through the local state and county.

This reminds me that the Ombudsman can be combined with the general judgment, and it also reminds me that people make mistakes, even with the Independent Commission Against Corruption, there must be corresponding laws to match, and only rigid laws can control flexible people.

September of the first year of Xianchun is destined to be an extraordinary month,

Since the heavy rainfall in May, the rain in Lin'an has been very little, in the early morning of September 1, the heavy rain poured, a long-lost timely rain hit the capital, of course, the heavy rain can not stop the court,

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"All Aiqing, don't be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first day of September, I have been on the throne for almost a year, during this time, through the joint efforts of everyone, all walks of life inside and outside my dynasty have gradually improved, however, there is still a long way to go from my great Song Dynasty Zhongxing, the road to Zhongxing has not yet succeeded, you still need to make persistent efforts, since last year Kublai Khan pacified the Ali Buge rebellion, is also determined to the development of its place, even the government is also following the example of our dynasty system, recently said that it is one step ahead of me, began the reform of the provincial system, Kublai Khan is ambitious, His intentions are obviously Sima Zhao's heart, one day said, when the comprehensive strength of Mongolia is strong enough, Kublai Khan will inevitably invade the south again, and then it will definitely form a pattern of fish dying and the net is broken. ”

I stopped, my sharp eyes swept over the ministers in the Daqing Palace, and said loudly: "There is only one answer, that is, the tip of the needle to the wheat mang,-for-tat, as long as my needle can be extremely sharp, then whatever it is, it will be pierced by my sharp needle, okay, the following officially enters today's court." ”

The hall was very quiet, and the ministers were each making their own little calculations, waiting for my instructions.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first thing I want to say is that I am very pleased, all of you have chosen to stay in the court and rejuvenate our dynasty with me, I thank you." I smiled slightly and continued, "Of course, to become an invincible needle, you have to go through hard training, September, will be the most important month of the year for my dynasty, because in this month, I will carry out a number of major reforms, first of all, I will resolutely rectify the long-term formation of corruption in our dynasty, the "Code of Conduct for Officials" and the Fujian Road Supervision Office have begun to trial at the same time, which marks the official opening of the [***] movement of our dynasty, the wind of corruption, all dynasties, When it accumulates to a certain point, it will form great public resentment, so that the imperial court will lose credibility, and it will lose the hearts of the people, you Aiqing try to imagine, the boat is out of the water, can it still move normally, and even more, it will become a sign of the change of dynasties, everyone has read history, and knows that the end of many previous dynasties was political turbidity and officialdom was rotten, so the rectification [***] is the foundation of my dynasty's prosperity, this point cannot be done, everything is empty talk, secondly, I will carry out the reform of the provincial system this month, I have discussed it with the Government CouncilThe first batch of pilot areas is Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road, which were changed to Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province respectively, which is not only a redivision of administrative regions, nor is it a simple centralization or decentralization of power, but a new type of system to balance the imperial court and the locality, not only to ensure the control of the imperial court over the locality, but also to give full play to the initiative of the local surname, in the early stage, the imperial court will take more care, with the changes in the internal and external situation and the soundness of various laws, I will also gradually delegate power to the locality, On September 9, the envoys of each theater will return to Beijing, and we will discuss with the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Military Affairs Yuan, and the four envoys of the military reform of our army, one of the purposes of the military reform is to adapt to the changing war situation, mainly the dispute between Song and Mongolia, and the other purpose is to create an invincible Song army that can compete with the Mongolian iron cavalry, or even stronger than them, and the fourth point is about land reform. The Ministry of Agriculture should formulate supporting measures to improve the active surname of farmers farming, and also improve the planting efficiency of farmers, increase the yield per mu, no matter when, grain is the only prerequisite for the stability of a dynasty, as the ancients said, the warehouse is solid and know the etiquette, the fifth change is aimed at the industry and commerce of our dynasty, the Ministry of Commerce since this month, will successively introduce preferential policies to support local industry and commerce and export trade, Encourage the coexistence of a variety of economies, construct an economic model of mixed development of a variety of economies, and at the same time find another way of investment for the landlord class after the land reform, if agriculture is the premise of stability, then industry and commerce are the foundation of development, the sixth matter is about the upcoming establishment of the Ministry of Education, I decided to change the name of the Ministry of Education and Health, in addition to the original education function, will increase the function of health management, health management is temporarily divided into two parts, one is the medical treatment of the people, that is, the people's medical problems, The second is the sanitary environment of our dynasty, and strive to be able to prevent diseases, especially for the relatively backward rural areas, whose function is to gradually improve the health of the people of our dynasty and increase the average life expectancy of the people. Some of them are aimed at the people's livelihood of our DPRK, and these seven major measures will be the focus of our DPRK's reform from this month, and each department should shift its focus to the reform measures related to its own department in addition to its own affairs. ”

I finished my September speech in one sitting, probably one of the longest speeches I've ever made in the DPRK.

What I didn't expect was that in the various newspapers published in September, a brief summary of my speech in the royal newspaper was reprinted, and even my previous speeches at the Gongyuan were also published, and they were called the two masterpieces of the first year of Emperor Xianchun.
