Chapter 2: The Deficiencies of Officials

According to the new official system of the Wei Principality, the chief official name of Zhongshu and Shangshu Ertai is "Ling", that is, Zhongshu Ling and Shangshu Ling, and the chief official of Yushitai is Yushi Dafu - this is the old name of the Han Dynasty, Shixun is not Wang Mang, nor Wu Zetian, there is no habit of messing with bells and whistles, and can continue to use the old name, as much as possible, so as to be accepted by the people of the time.

The adjutants of Zhongshutai and Shangshutai are all left and right servants, and the adjutants of Yushitai are left and right Zhongcheng, and there are left and right adjutants under them - this is also the old name.

Cao Cao originally wanted to let Shi Xun be the secretary of the book, but was rejected by the lord - I rely on that it is the highest administrative body of the country, and the affairs are cumbersome, and even Xun Yu is almost exhausted to death as the secretary of the Han Dynasty, let alone himself? In less than two years, I'm going to vomit blood. Shixun knew that he didn't have enough administrative bureaucratic talent, and to put it bluntly: I'm just a politician, don't let me be a civil servant. Therefore, Xun Yu is strongly recommended to take on this important responsibility.

He himself tried his best and finally got the position of Zhongshu Ling. According to the new official system, one of the governors and adjutants of the three stations, a total of six people, and as prime ministers, each usually performs his own duties, and every five days, or if there is an important matter, he must meet to discuss it - that is, similar to the Tang Dynasty's political affairs hall system. Among them, the main responsibility of the Zhongshu is to prepare the monarch's advisers, and to draft decrees and edicts on behalf of the monarch, that is, to assist the monarch in grasping the judicial power. It was Xun Zheng who wanted to practice with the new system of this new principality and stuff some private goods into it, this importance is not under Shangshu, but the affairs do not have the position of Shangshu Fanju, which is very suitable for him.

Because according to Shi Xun's plan, Shang Shutai is no longer under the jurisdiction of six parts in later generations, but more detailed into twelve, there are too many things. The twelve departments include: the main signature of the Ministry of Officials, and the medals. Elective main school, elections, examinations. The head of the household, the ancestral hall, and the mulberry. The Ministry of Rites is the main ritual, sacrificial enjoyment, the military department is the main military and political and military equipment, the criminal department is the main punishment, collusion, and imprisonment, the resignation of the Ministry of Resignation, the presiding officer of the lawsuit, the impeachment, the chief of the Ministry of Finance, taxation, warehouse, and cashier, the main currency, salt and iron of the Yu Ministry, the main project of the Ministry of Industry, water conservancy, and the main industry, business, and transshipment of the Ministry of Commerce. The main books and classics of the Ministry of Literature.

Needless to say, setting up the Ministry of Commerce, and separating the Yu Department from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Degrees, are all Xun's private goods.

The chief officials of each department are called Shangshu, and the adjutant is the squire, and the subordinates are divided into various divisions, and Zhonglang is in charge of his affairs. Although Shi Xun didn't care about Shangshutai, he still used his influence to stuff a lot of his own people into it, for example, with Ren Yi as the selection of Shangshu. Dong Meng is the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, and Zhang Ji is the servant of the household department. Thought it was the squire of the Ministry of Works.

The third child of the family didn't know whose way he went, and he had to be appointed as a servant of the ministry, which made Shixun a little incomprehensible. The biggest possibility is that he was favored by Chen Qun, the secretary of the ministry......

The chief officer of the three stations, in addition to Xun You and Shixun, the post of Imperial Doctor was given to Mao Jue - this person has an upright temperament, and it is very suitable to be used to take charge of supervision. Zongzheng ordered Cao Cao to give Cao Cao, the old man of Shixun, Cao Bao - anyway, that guy doesn't have much talent to lead troops, so he just went to Anyi to manage the sect's books; The secretary and supervisor are Yang Xiu, and the subordinate supervisor is Liu Fang.

Cao Cao pulled all the minister's palace team, as well as some of the court officials who had to be used, to the Wei State, and Xu Du was almost empty, but it didn't matter, anyway, it was originally the Prime Minister's Mansion that was really in charge of the world's affairs, and now it is the Wei State, and the court can't intervene. Of course, the vast majority of Wei officials still have an idle post in the Han Dynasty, for example, Xun will be returned to his servant, and many Han officials are also in a hurry to ask for an idle post in the Wei State.

However, at the beginning, Xiahoudun was left out, and Xiahoudun went up several times and asked to give him an official title of Wei, Cao Cao said: "I heard that the master is a minister, and then a friend." The husband and the minister, the noble person, the Wei of the mere Wei, and the minister is enough to bend the king? "It's not that I look down on you, but it's precisely because I value you too much that I think the pond of Wei Kingdom is small, and it is a grievance to let you lie in too. Xiahou stubbornly invited, but Cao Cao had no choice but to worship him as a former general.

In the military attache system of the Wei State, the real power is the central leader, the central guard, and the governors of all roads, while the generals are honorary titles, and the four marches, the four towns and the like are temporarily set up, and there are no longer generals, chariot generals, hussar generals and Wei generals.

In addition, the local government system of all the five counties of Wei was also adjusted. The county is governed by the county guard, supplemented by the county, and is divided into 12 divisions (departments) to govern affairs in the same way as the central government, which is convenient for the connection between the upper and lower levels, and the superintendent has the right to supervise; The county is governed by the county magistrate, supplemented by the county, and the twelve departments are six sections, including official selection, household merchants, rites, ancestral punishments, Yudu, and ordnance, and are supervised by the court. These posts are all appointed by the central government and are no longer allowed to be recruited privately. The official rank is still replaced by Zhilu, but many more ranks have been added: Bigong, Zhong 2,000 Shi, 2,000 Shi, Bi2,000 Shi, Qianshi, Biqian Shi, 800 Shi, Bi800 Shi, 600 Shi, Bi600 Shi, 400 Shi, Bi400 Shi, 200 Shi, Bi200 Shi, 100 Shi, Bibai Shi, and even Doushi. This has virtually improved the treatment of middle-level officials and given them the motivation to move up the ladder.

But in this way, Chen Changwen, the secretary of the ministry, quit, and directly found Shi Xun and asked him: "The monarch has so many positions, where does his person come from?" "Where am I going to find so many turnips to fill these holes? It was Xunxin who said that I was afraid that the prince of the Ministry of Shangshu would come to complain, saying that he was not enough to make money, and he was really not afraid that you would shout that there was a lack of talent-do you want me to recommend all my protégés and disciples to you?

The central official position is just that, although Shangshu is divided into twelve departments, but the yamen has not increased because of this - the original Jiuqing is no longer set up, and there are many idle small departments that are also under the direct jurisdiction of Shangshu; However, the county is divided into 12 divisions and the county has six sections, all of which are no longer summoned by the magistrates themselves, but must be appointed by the imperial court, and the number of middle and lower-level officials has increased several times in an instant, so it is no wonder that Chen Changwen has a big head.

It was Xun who wanted to arrange it like this, and the explanation to Cao Cao and the group was: "Collect the power of the place and make the pacification effective." "The right to collect localities" means that the officials of each department and section are not only responsible to the county and county magistrates, but also directly connected to the twelve departments of Shangshu, so that the county guards and county magistrates can no longer speak a word in their jurisdictions, which is conducive to the central government strengthening its control over the localities; "Make the town more effective", which means that the county magistrates originally recruited masters from the local area, so that the wealthy families had considerable influence on local government affairs, but now the subordinate officials are appointed by the imperial court, so this drawback can be avoided in a certain way.

To put it bluntly, after this establishment, on the one hand, the control power of the local government offices over the jurisdiction has been enhanced, and on the other hand, the control of the central government over the local government offices has also been enhanced.

This is the reason on the surface, but in fact, there is a dark aspect, which is inconvenient to declare. Yesun wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the middle and lower-level bureaucratic groups and facilitate the entry of the rootless Shu landlords into officialdom. Originally, the Shu clan lacked the rank of promotion, although they could be officials, but most of them belonged to temporary workers outside the establishment, and lacked the possibility of gradual promotion step by step; Nowadays, the clan still relies on fame and recommendation to occupy a higher starting point, but the way to progress with the Shu clan has been invisibly narrowed.

Cao Cao only employs people on practical ability, does not look at the background, does not investigate the reputation, the so-called "meritocracy" is also, this is in response to the troubled times and the inevitable introduction of the policy, once the troubled times are over, Cao Cao may not have the courage to continue this policy. Therefore, Xun must use this period of time to open up the road for the Shu people in time, and when the world is peaceful, ten or twenty years later, there will naturally be a large number of Shu bureaucrats to climb to middle and high-level positions, and most of them start from the lower officials and have rich experience, and those children of the family who only know how to talk may not be able to compare.

Therefore, Chen Qun raised doubts, and Shixun immediately retorted: "If the officials are insufficient, you should ask the electoral department and ask me what I do?" "Cultural and educational undertakings, recommendation and selection, that is the responsibility of the electoral department, not to send enough alternative officials to your ministry, is a dereliction of duty in the electoral department, not a problem with the system I designed.

Chen Qun smiled bitterly: "The real selection department does not dare to criticize you, and it is not enough for me, but I have to admonish me." "It's not that I haven't checked the accounts with the secretary of the election department, he is also distressed, the problem is that he is your fellow brother, he has always admired you, and he didn't dare to point out the flaws in your system design in person, so he had to ask me to come over and help ask.

Ren Zhaoxian, Ren Zhaoxian, is more inclined to Xun than Xi Xianlai in the Zheng Sect, and his relationship with Shi Xun is also very special - if you follow the order of entry, it is actually Xun who is Zheng Xuan's closed disciple, Ren Yi is a junior brother, but Ren Zhaoxian has always been a brother Hongfu. This little guy is extremely smart, but most of this intelligence is used in academics, serving as an official in politics, and his level is somewhat worse - at least not as good as Chen Changwen. So when Shi Xun listened to Chen Qun's words, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and said in his heart, Xiao Ren, if you are in trouble, you can ask me to give you ideas, why did you put Chen Changwen in front? On the surface, it seems that you don't dare to fight with me and use Chen Qun as a gunman, but in fact, Chen Qun uses you as a gun to poke me, why are you so confused, Xiao Ren?

simply put on a sloppy look: "Wait for me and Zhao to plan first." "I'll go and discuss with Ren Yan and think of a way, you can wait and go.

However, Chen Qun still refused to retreat, and immediately took out a piece of paper from his sleeve: "I am planning for Zhao first, and I have a plan, before Qin Xian Lingjun." ”

Yes Xun is now a Chinese book order, and the new Shangshu Ling Xun You, is also respected as "Ling Jun", he first heard this title and felt very proud - is Ling Jun should not make Xun Lingjun beautiful in front of him - but also a little frightened, always feel that the word "Ling Jun" can only refer to Xun Wenruo, even Xun Gongda can't afford it, let alone himself?

Chen Qun said that he came up with a way to solve the problem of talent selection, that is, to submit the proposal to Shi Xun. It's Xun Xin who said that's right, you Chen Changwen are exquisite, you won't just come here to complain, you must already have an idea, so you can use the complaint as an excuse to lobby me. He took it with both hands, unfolded it and took a look, and couldn't help but gasp: "Changwenguo is ingenious!" (To be continued......)
