Chapter 684: The Sinking of the Rulers, the Beginning of Qingming!
When Zhu Jianji saw the four of them hesitating, his face sank, "Huh?"
Thick nasal!
The four of them were startled, and peeked at His Majesty Emperor Guang'an, who had a gloomy face, and the four of them only felt a chill in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and the emperor's majesty was as awe-inspiring as thunder.
After quickly weighing it in their hearts, the four of them still accepted the order.
Whether the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will withdraw from the list of Jiuqing because of this, regardless of it for the time being, one thing is clear, after such a reform, the number of personnel under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department will at least exceed 50,000!
It's equivalent to Jinyiwei.
With such a number of criminal departments, even if they withdraw from the list of Jiuqing, it is also the central department of the court, so after Dong Fang's mind turned around, he immediately accepted the order and said that he would do his best to implement it.
The subordinate personnel of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple may directly break 10,000.
There were not many personnel in Dali Temple, and the number of subordinate personnel increased so dramatically that the status soared.
Originally, there were only a few hundred people in the whole country, and this change had no impact on the functions and powers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The reason why Li Shi, Wang Chong, and Yan Luo did not immediately accept the order was to give Dong Fangzi.
lest they accept the decree, but the Dong side does not.
If you resist the will independently, you will be weak and it will be difficult to intercede for him.
As soon as Dong Fang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, received the order, these three people also immediately accepted the order, fearing that His Majesty Emperor Guang'an would regret it.
Zhu Jianji nodded, "You must go all out, in the next few years, my Ming Dynasty will basically not bear the impact of the war, coupled with the improvement of the level of medical care, the population will definitely increase wildly, and the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Metropolitan Procuratorate under your management, plus the Jinyi Guard, are the guarantee of the basic security of the whole country and the local government, and the country's economic and military strength will not go up, but the people will be a bunch of bad things, and I don't expect to leave the road unforgotten, but I hope that the side of the Cathay Pacific is the people's security!"
He also said, "Leave and let Bai Gui, the secretary of the ministry, come in."
A moment later, Baekyu entered and saluted.
The old man, Bai Gui, spared no effort to support Zhu Jianji, and like Hang's relatives, all of Zhu Jianji's propositions never had a single apex of opposition from the ministry.
Well, feelings are two-way.
Therefore, the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law is very harmonious.
Zhu Jianji got up very politely and moved to the side of the warm couch, well, he had already changed to a mat, drank chilled watermelon juice, and also gave Bai Gui a drink, and then said slowly: "Bai Shangshu, the officials may be a little busy in the future."
Bai Gui smiled, "I've not been idle."
Indochina Peninsula has added the three major political envoys of Cochin, Champa and Vientiane, and there will be Phnom Penh and Ayutthaya later, and the five major political envoys of Phnom Penh and Ayutthaya plus the subordinate state government agencies, such a huge group of officials, except for most of the important positions of the chief officials are discussed and recommended by the Jiuqing, and the rest of the equipment is all run by the Ministry of Officials, and the arrangement of the official system of one or two thousand people is enough, and there are only a few hundred people in the Ministry of Officials - these hundreds of people have suddenly increased in the past two years, and the number of officials before is not much. So Baekyu is actually not at all easier than Hang Min.
The officials of the various departments within the Ministry of Officials, since the comprehensive southward expansion of the Ming Dynasty, have basically been rotating in a continuous manner.
Especially recently, staying up all night is commonplace.
Zhu Jianji said: "Fortunately, the local government system in the Indochina Peninsula has been established normally, and the establishment of the county and state government offices in various places has basically taken shape, and the next thing is to slowly sew it up, and completely complete the absolute control of the three major Chengxuan political envoys, but how to maintain this rule for a long time is a problem, and one of the solutions is to maintain the rule of the three major Chengxuan political envoys in the Indochina Peninsula, so the local supervision role of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is very important, but at the same time, The Ministry of Officials is also very important to the assessment and appointment of officials, and the selection of people on the basis of merit, we Ming officials to govern the Indochina Peninsula, we must make the people of the Indochina Peninsula submit, Bai Shangshu, don't you say?"
Bai Gui said: "That being said, but the problem is actually not so easy to solve, the total number of officials of the three major political envoys in the Indochina Peninsula is about 30,000, and if Phnom Penh and Ayutthaya add political envoys in the future, the number of officials may exceed 40,000, such a huge number, almost my size."
The number of officials in the Ming half of the local territory, and the distance from Gyeonggi, there are some things...... Weichen said bluntly, the emperor is far away, and it is not easy to supervise and assess!"
Zhu Jianji nodded, "I have already discussed with the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple, and it has been agreed that the three ministries will come up with specific and feasible guidelines to discuss at the small court meeting in the future, and the general plan is that the three ministries will go down to the county-level jurisdiction, and departments will be set up in the county and state capitals to be responsible for special functions and powers, so I also have an idea, and the officials will also go down to the county-level jurisdiction."
Bai Gui was surprised, "There are so many of us?"
The pressure on talent is already great!
The gap in the Indochina Peninsula has not yet been filled, and Mobei is about to set up a few political envoys, although Mobei is vast and sparsely populated, but several political envoys have been established, not to mention a few hundred people.
Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "It's really not enough, the current idea is that all the officials in the country will be transferred to officials, and the basic rank will be raised to the position of an equal official, and they will go to the local departments of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate that have been sunk."
Among the third-level officials of the county and state governments, there are also a large number of officials.
Of course, you can't overdo it.
If he really doesn't have the ability, the position would rather be vacant, wait for the talent from the Department of Education to come out, and then take up the post, so that Bai Gui feels that it is feasible.
He asked, "How does the ministry sink?"
Zhu Jianji said: "According to the current official system, the minimum level of the official department needs to be lowered to the state, and a department of the official department should be set up in the state capital to evaluate, make merit, and recommend officials within the jurisdiction. But in the next few years, I will implement a policy, in order to improve the level of governance in the whole country, the official system of the imperial court should surpass the county government and sink to the town, that is to say, in the future, all the towns in the country also need to set up a yamen, which can be small but not without, therefore, the officials need to sink down to the county, and the officials at the town level will also be evaluated, recommended, and appointed."
Bai Gui was shocked in his heart, and asked weakly, "How many people are needed for each level of the department?"
Zhu Jianji thought for a while, "For each level, three or five people are enough."
The main thing is to assess the officials' political performance, conduct or something, run away, find someone to ask questions, and investigate, and there are not many things, and there is not much need for too much staffing.
Bai Gui breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay.
The whole country combined, and even with the addition of the Indochina Peninsula and Mobei, the increase in the number of officials in local departments is about 10,000, which is within the acceptable range.
I thought for a moment, "That's a good thing."
If the officials are sinking and the assessment of officials is more in place, then the officials who are appointed and recommended will not be indiscriminately filled, and they can also effectively eliminate the promotion of moths.
This......
It will be the beginning of the rule of the officials!
Bai Gui suddenly felt a little shocked, His Majesty's series of measures, the "ambition" is a bit big!
