520. Jiangnan Development
Next, everyone began to discuss the composition of this organization for the development of Jiangnan. Li Shimin first decided to set up a Jiangnan development ambassador to be responsible for the development of Jiangnan. The subordinate members were composed of personnel sent by the six ministries, nine temples and five superintendents, and a temporary organization was established that could be similar to that of the road envoy yamen at that time. But many people in this temporary institution are red-eyed, because this institution has too much power. In the future, a large amount of the country's resources will be concentrated in this Jiangnan development yamen, and the people and officials in Jiangnan will have to rely on the snort of this yamen. Even, when the time comes, I am afraid that this yamen will be half the king of Jiangnan. It can be said that this yamen wants financial power and financial power, and it can be said that it is a small-scale Shangshu province. With such a big right, who doesn't blush? The power of this yamen is probably not much smaller than that of the six departments. As this Jiangnan development ambassador, I am afraid that in the future, the marquis worship will be close in front of me.
And Li Shimin looked at everyone present, obviously it was not easy to decide who would be the ambassador of Jiangnan development for a while. Because this Jiangnan development ambassador has a lot of authority, even the emperor is a little worried. Such a heavy authority is enough to make him the core of almost all Jiangnan officials, and Li Shimin has to worry. Don't look at the fact that Jiangnan officials have no power now, but once Jiangnan is developed in the future, Jiangnan will become the second economic center, and the authority will be raised. Therefore, Li Shimin is not at ease with who to hand over such a big right!
And Jingwen saw Li Shimin's hesitation, and immediately said very understandingly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten about the military academy?" ”
"Oh! By the way, I personally served as the principal of the military school! Li Shimin remembered.
"Alright. This Jiangnan development ambassador is concurrently served by me personally, and there are Changshi, Sima, and Counselor. The long history presides over the daily life, and there are six sections of military and criminal work under the officials, rites, households, and soldiers, which are enriched by personnel sent by various ministries. Li Shimin said.
However, Jingwen proposed a proposal and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is inappropriate. The authority of this Jiangnan Development Yamen is very important, and it is not appropriate to directly authorize someone to manage it. I thought. Or select all the state assassins in the entire Jiangnan into it. Then the imperial court also sent dignitaries into it. Then the emperor appointed three positions of Counselor Sima Changshi, and then the remaining positions were set up again, called members. And these commissioners were elected by the state assassins of Jiangnan, and then the important officials sent by the imperial court themselves. And the long history of Sima Counselor. There are still the remaining Jiangnan Prefecture assassins. There are also members elected by the central officials. Collectively to lead this Jiangnan development yamen. If anything happens, it will be Counselor Sima, and the remaining elected members. Have a meeting together to discuss the solution. If you encounter a problem, you can vote to solve it. This can prevent the power from being too concentrated on one person, and it can also prevent someone from making a mistake because of a headache and brain fever. Moreover, it can also make the officials in Jiangnan feel the attention of the imperial court. ”
"Oh? You're imitating the imperial court's political hall! Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin subconsciously thought that this so-called committee system was an imitation of the political affairs hall, because the prime minister system in the Tang Dynasty had changed from the chief system in the Qin and Han dynasties to the committee system, and into a situation of collective leadership. If there is any major state matter, it is discussed by several officials who "entered" the political hall, so that it is also a committee system. However, this committee system is only in its infancy, and it is not as perfect as that of later generations. However, since Jingwen has now proposed to form this Jiangnan development yamen into a yamen with a committee system, this makes Li Shimin a little moved.
If the rights to develop Jiangnan are handed over to a certain person, I am afraid that Li Shimin will not be at ease and will be suspicious all day long. However, if this kind of committee system is implemented, it will be tantamount to decentralizing power, so that the emperor can rest assured. Moreover, let the Jiangnan officials elect a few places by themselves, and the emperor appoints a few people, so that the interests of the local government and the central court can be taken into account.
"Okay, in that case, I personally serve as the Jiangnan Development Ambassador. The subordinate chief Shi Sima also has a counselor, who is actually responsible for presiding over the operation. And if there is a major event, it will be resolved by Counselor Sima Changshi, and four other elected people will vote together. As for the Jiangnan Development Ambassador, there is a right of veto. Li Shimin said.
Li Shimin's words can be regarded as establishing a charter and giving the Jiangnan Development Ambassador the right to veto, that is, it represents the emperor's desire to be able to cancel some policies that are not suitable for him at any time. If the Jiangnan Development Yamen comes up with a policy that suits itself, it will directly use the rights of the Jiangnan Development Ambassador to veto it with one vote, so as to avoid the emergence of ideas that are not suitable for him.
"The emperor is wise!" Everyone slapped on the back again and again.
"Your Majesty, who will serve as the counselor of the Jiangnan Development Ambassador's subordinate Changshi, Sima?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked.
And Li Shimin immediately said: "Changshi, in charge of the prime minister's entire yamen, then I will let the prince personally supervise it." However, since this is a method of imitating the political affairs hall, I am not afraid of any accidents for the prince. I can state that if the prince proposes something inappropriate, someone else can veto it. And I just want the prince to know how this country should be governed. ”
Everyone understands, this emperor is cultivating the crown prince! Now the crown prince is already twelve years old, and if you follow the ancient times, you can already start working. Of course, it is impossible for the crown prince to participate in the governance of the country immediately, but it is also possible for them to learn from the ministers. With this committee system, which mimics the political affairs hall, even if the prince puts forward any untimely bills, others can borrow the power in their hands to veto them. In this way, the prince will be able to learn a lot and avoid any policies that harm the people.
"The Emperor Shengming!" This time it became a saint.
"Your Majesty, who will be the Sima and Counselor?" Someone asked.
"Counselor, the counselor of the military aircraft, should be a man with many ideas. Moreover, I have just set up a political research office, which is headed by Jing Wen. Then just let Jing Wen serve as the counselor, usually if there are any policies that want to be implemented in the Jiangnan Development Yamen, then hand them over to Jing Wen to see, let Jing Wen see if there is any bad impact, calculate what consequences will be caused, and what bad impact will be on the people. Once there is a big matter, then we have a meeting together to solve it. Li Shimin said.
Now the two positions have been decided, and the third position depends on what the emperor thinks.
"As for Sima, then leave it to the auxiliary machine!" Li Shimin said.
"Eight Tooth Road!" Jingwen burst into a Japanese national scold in his heart. (To be continued......)
