At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang and Deng She have the same official position (Zuo Prime Minister of Song Xing Province), and their territory and military strength are similar. So, let's compare their respective provincial bodies (i.e., their respective teams) and see what the significant differences are.

Zhu Yuanzhang:

Ding Younian (1357) imitated the central system under the Xingzhongshu Province and set up the Senate, with Li Shanchang, the head of the Wenchen, as the Senate, obviously, the Senate was to Zhu Yuanzhang, slightly similar to the Zhongshu Province to the emperor. This is already the highest rank of the ministers, and it is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately restrains the ministers and puts them in the position of staff rather than officials. This should be in the same vein as his abolition of the Zhongshu Province in the future.

As late as April of the year of Xin Chou (1361), Fang "took Li Shanchang, the senator of Zhongshu Province, as the governor of political affairs".

In July of the year of Jihai (1359), Zhu Yuanzhang killed another and only other person, the Shangguan of the Provincial Hall, Guo Tianjue, the right man representing the remnants of the Guo family. From then on, he sat alone in the hall.

In terms of military generals, in May of the same year, Xu Da was promoted to "General Fengguo, Tongzhi Privy Council", and the status of another general, Shao Rong, is still on it. It can be seen that the status of military generals is obviously much higher than that of Wenchen. This is also the origin of the practice of the early Ming Dynasty. However, these people are also the same as Deng She's generals, and they are led to sit in other places. The actual person in charge is only Deng Yu (Deng Yue of the Yuan Yuan participates in politics for Zhongshu Province, and still serves as the Privy Council, and the general system of all wings and horses).

Dunshe:

In terms of civil officials: Deng She appointed Wen Huaguo as the right Cheng and Hong Jixun as the Left Cheng; Luo Guoqi, Qing Qianxing is the governor of political affairs. Wenhua Guo sat in Pyongyang and entered the right city, which is similar to Deng Yu and Hu Dahaizhi as the governors of Zhongshu provinces, but they are not divided into provinces; Qing Qianxing is a general, and the head town of Liaoxi is also like this. Leave the two alone. However, with Hong Jixun as Zuo Cheng and Luo Guoqi as the governor, they are all in the hall to assist the government. This shows that Deng She's ideal auxiliary government model is obviously different from Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is likely to be the Tang and Song dynasty models.

There is also a line of imperial history.

In terms of military generals: "Ren Chenhu and Tong Shengyang are the same knowledge." Guan Shirong and Zhao Guo are the deputy hubs. Monk Li and Zhang Zhener are the courtyards. He Guangxiu and Yang Wanhu are the same people". Tong Shengyang is similar to Shao Rong, but it is a move to win over a force, so let's leave it alone. Zhao Guo, Zhang Ji'er and others are also most likely to be the head of the outer road, or have other military positions. It can be seen that the court officials are just rank officials to them. This is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.

But Deng She also set up the Imperial History Terrace, a member of the Imperial History, a second grade, and let Yao Haogu do it. The two members of the imperial history of the scribe and the third product were appointed respectively as the champion Lang Wang Zongzhe and Fang Buzhen. Mainly Liaoyang and Guangning came to return to civilian officials. It is estimated that the old mountain is supervised by the new mountain. However, the agency is not perfect.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not attach much importance to this, and did not establish the Imperial Historical Observatory until the first year of Wu.

In comparison, Deng She's official establishment is more similar to the old system of the Song Dynasty.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not set up the Imperial Historical Observatory, he set up an envoy (around 1360, the details are not clear. For example, Zhang Yi, one of the gentlemen of Zhedong, is the deputy envoy of Zhedong according to the inspection of the affairs of Zhedong), the main purpose is to strengthen the supervision of officials in various places. This is similar to his change of Imperial Historical Observatory to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

In terms of Deng She, the function of Xingyu Shitai is relatively balanced and less specific.
