As an important symbol of the reform of the bureaucratic system, the abolition of the Zuo Dadu Governor's Mansion has become inevitable, otherwise the unified decree will become an empty word, and most of the officials basically hold a unified opinion on this point, but as the officials of the Zuo Dadu Governor's Office, the only thing these officials are worried about is the question of where they will go, whether they will be removed from their official positions and become ordinary people, or they will be sent to other places to serve as local officials, or whether they will stay in Saidika as an official of the Eastern Courtyard Dawang Mansion is the issue they are most concerned about.

Of course, it is the best arrangement to be able to stay in Saidika and be an official in the Eastern Courtyard Grand Prince's Mansion, as for what official position to hold and the size of the official position, it is not up to them to decide, even if they can't serve in the Eastern Courtyard Grand Prince's Mansion, then it is okay to be a local official, it is best to be the consul of the local county, as the representative official of the Zuo Grand Governor's Mansion, Felton of course has to fight for the interests of these officials.

He stood up and said: "The king, the subordinates are very much in favor of abolishing the Zuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but the issue of the subordinates of the original Zuo Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is still asking the king to think carefully about one or two, now the king wants to reform the official system, and people must be employed everywhere, but now the number of these officials is far from enough, and the king will expand the territory in the future, and a large number of officials and generals are needed to govern the place for the king, all the subordinates think that all the officials should be retained, if some officials are not qualified, the king can let these unqualified officials study together, Let the officials who know how to be officials teach them, not only how to be officials, how to govern the land and manage the people for the king, but also let them send people to teach them to be loyal to the king.

In addition, my subordinates thought that it was not possible for our political system to completely imitate the Roman Empire, and the Roman Empire was the same. They have a system based on their own experience and their own circumstances, and it certainly doesn't work if it is applied to us, just as their people like to wear sackcloth robes. And it's sleeveless, that's because they're by the sea, and the climate is warmer, but if we let the people here wear their linen robes, they'll freeze to death in winter, and they're two different things, but the truth is the same. ”

Qin Dong nodded after listening to Felton's proposal, although Felton did not propose any specific plan for reforming the bureaucratic system. However, Felton pointed out that both of these points were very good ideas, and that he had few civil servants under him, and that officials would definitely be needed after the reform of the bureaucratic system. For those officials who are not qualified, or have a little problem, they can be trained according to the method that Felton said, and on the one hand, they can learn politics. On the other hand, ideological education is carried out. In the words of later generations, set up a political academy, and when these people have learned the way of government, and after passing the ideological government, they will be sent abroad to become officials.

"Yes, yes, the two adults are right, do any other adults have any opinions?" Qin Dong asked.

At this time, Zhong Hui stood up and saluted Qin Dong and said, "King Qiqi, the lower officials think that the reform of the official system must first determine one point, that is, to implement the system of separating military and government at the local level. This prevents certain people from having too much power, not only military power. Moreover, with the financial power of the political power, it is completely possible to separate itself from the king of the Eastern Court and exist independently, and it will be troublesome to form a trend that cannot be dropped, and this phenomenon must be resolutely eradicated, the army can only garrison the locality and guard the frontier, and cannot intervene in the affairs of the local officials, and the magistrates have no right to inquire about the situation of the local garrison, and all the war materials required by the army, such as weapons, bows and arrows, grain and grass, are all provided by the special government office. Military salaries are paid to the commanders of the garrison troops every month, and personnel are set up to supervise the distribution to the officers and non-commissioned officers.

In terms of reforming the bureaucratic system, the subordinates thought that it would be possible to set up a number of departments in the palace of the Great King of the Eastern Yuan, such as the establishment of an official office for the management of factories and workshops behind closed doors, an official office for the management of farmland, water conservancy, roads, and various building constructions, an official office for the management of taxes and the payment of officials' salaries, an official office for the management of public security and criminal investigation in various localities, an official office for inspection and appointment of officials, an official office for the management of ceremonies, the presiding over important activities, and the reception of foreign vassals, and an official office for the management of the daily affairs of the army......."

When Zhong Hui said this, Qin Dong was overjoyed, I rubbed it, isn't this similar to the six departments in the ancient Chinese court? It is completely possible to express the names of these departments mentioned by Zhong Hui by the Ministry of Employment, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War.

I only heard Zhong Hui say again: "The subordinates thought that they could temporarily divide the land under the jurisdiction of the king into four levels of local management system, the first level is of course the Eastern Courtyard Palace, which is the center and brain, and all the important decisions and decrees are issued from here, the second level is the county, and the chief official is the county guard, as far as the subordinates know, the Roman Empire implements the integration of counties and counties, and the chief official is the consul, and the subordinates think that this division is unreasonable, we can't copy the Roman Empire, we can separate the county from the county, and the chief officer of the county is the county guard, In addition, a deputy was set up to assist in the administration of the county guard, and a number of officials were also set up to assist him, but in order to prevent the phenomenon of the county guard's autocratic power and power being so great that no one could control it, it was necessary to formulate certain regulations to prevent this phenomenon from occurring.

Below the county is divided into a number of counties, a county can be large or small, the large county can have more than a dozen counties, the small county has three or five counties are allowed, the head of the county is called the county magistrate, just like the county official system, there is also a deputy to assist the county magistrate in governing the place, and then assign a number of officials to assist.

The county is divided into a number of towns, and the number of officials in the town can be relatively small, and the institutional structure can be simpler, after all, a town is too small and the people are very small.

The subordinates had examined all the maps and topography of the land under the jurisdiction of the king, and thought that the land under the jurisdiction of the king could be divided into seventeen counties, a total of about one hundred and forty-five counties, and if it was divided according to this situation, there would be almost enough officials who could be qualified at the level of county magistrate among the officials under the king's jurisdiction. ”

After Zhong Hui's remarks were finished, they immediately caused a lot of repercussions among the officials, especially some people who were more knowledgeable in politics, and many officials felt that Zhong Hui's construction was very good, not only put forward a specific official system, but also proposed the division of administrative regions, and the officials discussed a lot, and many people nodded their heads.

Qin Dong saw that the officials were all discussing, so he spoke up: "Okay, Peteus, Felton, Zhong Hui and other adults have proposed to build a system, I see that you are all more satisfied with Lord Zhong Hui's construction, but Peteus and Lord Felton's construction should not be ignored, so let's do it, since the three adults proposed to build a system, then the three adults will work together to formulate an official system, if there is a problem, they will negotiate with each other to solve it, and then write a note after forming a consensus!" ”

The three of them saluted at the same time and agreed: "Yes, the order of the king!" ”

The meeting lasted for three days, after many consultations, the third day finally reached a consensus, the specific official reform opinions were submitted to Qin Dong, Qin Dong read a few places after revising a few places, and formed the final resolution promulgated and implemented, because most of the officials came, if there are no officials in the jurisdiction for a long time, it will be chaotic, so these officials can not stay in Saidika for too long, too long is prone to local problems, so Qin Dong must also try his best to decide down so that those officials can return to their respective posts.

The final official system was as follows: First, the system of separating the local military from the government was implemented, which was to prevent the situation of separating the feudal towns from being caused by the excessive power of the localities, and all the army's war materials and salaries were to be handled by the newly established military department of the Great Wang's Mansion in the Eastern Yuan, and the army was not allowed to intervene in local affairs, and local officials could not command the local garrison, and military and political officials in one place were not allowed to secretly communicate with each other.

Second, the jurisdiction is divided into four levels of local administration, the highest administrative body is the Eastern Yuan Dawangfu, directly under the jurisdiction of seven departments, namely the Department of Finance and Taxation, the Department of Farmland and Water Conservancy Construction, the Department of Officials and Personnel, the Department of Etiquette and Diplomacy, the Department of Military Affairs, the Department of Criminal Security, and the Department of Industry and Commerce.

The second-level administrative body is the county, the highest administrative official is the county guard, and there are two deputy county guards, one of which is in charge of criminal security, and the other is in charge of the county city defense, and all the territory under the jurisdiction of the entire Eastern Yuan Dawang Mansion is divided into fifteen counties and two cities, the city and the county are at the same level, and the city-level city is directly under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Yuan Dawangfu. The administrative body of the county has seven agencies, namely the Finance and Taxation Bureau, the Farmland and Water Conservancy Construction Bureau, the Officials and Personnel Bureau, the Ordinance and Etiquette Bureau, the Military Service Recruitment Bureau, the Criminal Security Bureau, and the Industrial Workshop Trade Bureau.

The third level of administrative body is the county, the highest administrative official is the county head, assisted by two deputy county heads, each county has a number of counties, some large counties may have more than a dozen counties, and some counties have only a few counties.

The fourth-level administrative body is the town, and the mayor is the lowest administrative official appointed by the Eastern Courtyard Dawangfu, at this stage, Qin Dong can't delegate too much power to appoint and dismiss officials, because the territory is so big, if the authority to appoint and dismiss officials is too much, there will be very few officials who can appoint and dismiss him, and the bottom village chief is elected by the villagers of each village themselves.

How are officials elected? How do I get promoted? In addition to the first batch of officials after the reform of the bureaucratic system, the promotion and promotion of future officials must be inspected by the official personnel department, and ordinary people can enter the officialdom through the guò examination, and these people must be educated, literate, thoughtful, and have their own opinions on current affairs.

After the specific plan for the reform of the official position was finally decided, Qin Dong immediately promulgated it, and the officials returned to their original posts with the new official reform plan, and the new specific official positions of each person had to wait for a while before they could be announced, after all, Qin Dong needed to consider the appointment and dismissal of candidates for each position, and after the new official positions came out, everyone would come to Saidika to receive their official seals and official certificates to take up their new posts.
