As for the officials, it has not changed much. Originally, the Ministry of Officials was the most powerful department in the imperial court, but its responsibilities were relatively simple, so Wu Shigong didn't make too many changes.

The biggest change is the military department. Wu Shigong almost split the military headquarters into two, and many of the functions of the military department were assigned to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. And Wu Shigong wanted to determine a principle for the use of troops: the declaration of war and other matters would be decided by the emperor and the cabinet. But how to fight? It is up to the major admirals to take specific command. Military affairs will still be done by the military future.

However, what is even more tragic is the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry. The two Ministries will be completely abolished, and many new Ministries will be split and added.

Wu Shigong would completely separate the judicial power of the Daping Dynasty, and all criminal and civil cases would be adjudicated by independent courts. The highest Dali Temple will be run by ten great priests. However, Wu Shigong will not engage in any nondescript jury system in this era, that is, adopt the judge verdict system. For the time being, there will be no abolition of torture to extract confessions.

Of course, the new judicial system will also introduce a system of prosecutors and defenders. Hence the prototype of prosecutors and lawyers. As for how the judiciary will be perfected in the future, let's rely on the wisdom of future generations!

In addition, the Daping Dynasty will also have nearly ten ministries such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. And the setting of these yamen made the policy of the Daping Dynasty quite obvious, that is, to pursue economic development wholeheartedly.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Shigong will set up a separate post office. In this way, it was convenient for the people to communicate and travel, and to increase some income for the imperial court.

In addition, there is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which performs police functions. Yamakawabu and other secret work. However, the secret work was only external and not internal, so as to prevent the emergence of spy politics in the Daping Dynasty.

There are two institutions to highlight and disclose:

The first is the Governor's Office of the Five Armies:

Of course, the national policy of the Daping Dynasty was formulated by the emperor and the cabinet ministers, including the military policy. But about military matters. It will be decided by the emperor, the first assistant, and the fifteen admirals of the five military governors.

Moreover, the army of the Daping Dynasty will train the army in strict accordance with the "Code of Conduct" and standardize any tactical movements. In order to prevent the warlordization of military generals, commanders and officers in various places will also be transferred regularly. However, having a unit that receives standard training can also prevent the defect of "soldiers do not know their generals", and can allow new officers to quickly get up and running troops.

Another point is that if it was peacetime, the army of the Dahei Dynasty would not be able to be stationed in the city. And the military family has to live in the city. In the event of a rebellion in the army, the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will take the military dependents hostage; In the event of a rebellion in the Ministry of the Interior, the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which do not have heavy firearms, will not be able to stop the regular army. This is also two-way surveillance. Prevent any mutiny.

The second is the Imperial Historical Observatory:

The Dahei Dynasty will separate the Imperial Historical Observatory and elect the Imperial History by the election of each locality. The Imperial Historian would have immunity and would be able to make decrees of the Great Ping Dynasty. The senior imperial historian can serve as a local governor or an official above the squire of various ministries. If you can get a joint nomination from the ministers. So you can even go directly to the cabinet.

In fact, the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Cabinet of Ministers have evolved into two de facto councils, the upper and lower councils. These two institutions will be combined with the Dali Temple, which is composed of the Great Sikou, to form a separation of powers.

Although the power of the monarchy of the Daping Dynasty was greatly weakened, Wu Shigong also wanted to form a balanced group among the civil officials to prevent the occurrence of dictatorship in the future.

And in these days' meetings, many important contents will be compiled into the "Qiongyuan Canon" in the future. The Daping Dynasty will also set the content of the "Qiongyuan Grand Canon" as a national policy in the future, and once it is to be revised or added or deleted, a large political meeting must be convened to discuss and vote.

This can not only cling to the "ancestral system". prevent these "ancestral systems" from hindering the development of society in the future; It can also set principles, so that national politics can be based on laws. As a matter of fact. The "Qiongyuan Grand Canon" is the constitution of the Daping Dynasty, and the Daping Dynasty will also change to the direction of a constitutional monarchy.

And after the last day, Wu Shigong announced the "Three-Year Governing Outline". In this "Outline", Wu Shigong, as the first assistant, promised the people of the world twelve things to be completed within three years; Twenty-one things that want to be completed in the long term, but need to make significant progress within three years.

From then on, every government of the Dahei Dynasty followed this practice, and at the beginning of his tenure, the first assistant would proclaim the "Outline of Governance" to the people of the world on behalf of the entire cabinet. This is also a good way to let the people of the world supervise the government and let the prime ministers work hard to govern.

In fact, Wu Shigong knew very well in his heart that with the continuation of the Daping Dynasty, the monarch's power would become more and more sidelined. In the end, the emperor of the Daping Dynasty will be like the king of modern society, completely becoming a "hypocrisy".

But Wu Shigong understands better: imperial power and wealth and life cannot be obtained. After all, their future children and grandchildren will not always have strong ability and high prestige. So he chose a rich life between the two. Let their children and grandchildren at least be able to go on in peace and security.

Afterwards, on this topic, the crown prince Xue Chenglin once had such a conversation with Wu Shigong.

Wu Shigong asked Xue Chenglin: "After the emperor ascends the throne, how should he rule the world?" ”

Xue Chenglin replied with a very standard Confucian answer: "Benevolence!" ”

Wu Shigong said with a smile: "Actually, not really, the emperor didn't get to the point. ”

So Xue Chenglin asked: "Please show your father!" ”

Wu Shigong replied: "For the monarch to rule but not to rule!" ”

The new policy of the Daping Dynasty paints a bright picture, but the current imperial court will also face a dilemma. To put it simply: lack of food and money.

Since the grain producing areas in the south were controlled by the Nanming, the Grand Canal was disturbed by the Nanming army and was not smooth. In the north, because of natural disasters and military disasters for many years, most of the land is barren, and even if the people are organized to cultivate, they will not be able to harvest grain until after the summer harvest this year. Therefore, food is relatively scarce.

The problem of lack of money is even more serious. According to Wu Shigong's "Three-Year Governing Outline", the Daping Dynasty spent more than 57 million taels of silver in these three years. Among them, military spending will amount to a staggering 38 million taels.

However, the financial revenue of the Daping Dynasty was very small, and even if it was an effort to develop industry and commerce, it still required a process to collect taxes. Although through seizures, land mortgages, auctions of monopoly rights in the salt industry, and the sale of treasury bonds, the current financial support can still be supported. But it won't last long.

So when Wu Shigong announced the new dynasty and new policy, the troops of the two Daping armies began their respective military operations in this New Year. (To be continued......)
