"The official in charge of mining affairs came out to form the 'Ministry of Mines', and the director of mining affairs was also promoted to become the secretary of the Ministry of Mines."

"The officials of the Ministry of Gold set up the 'Golden Bank', and the original head of the Ministry of Gold was the secretary of the 'Golden Bank'." He had vaguely heard the word bank from Qin Yu before, but he felt that the word bank was not rich enough, so he took it upon himself to change it to a gold bank.

……

The ministers glared when they heard this.

The hall has a household department, and it has been divided into six departments in the blink of an eye.

In other words, Lu Chang's current power is only one-sixth of what it used to be.

In the past, the household department ranked first among the six departments, and the real power held by it ranked first, and it had a very large weight in the court. It is a little stronger than the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, after all, it holds the financial power of the world.

But now after the differentiation, the household department is estimated to be the first from the bottom.

In the past, Lu Chang was a proper important minister and member of the court, and he played a pivotal role in the court. But now he is only managing the household registration of the world, and his importance is no longer ranked among the ministers.

A top five important minister was instantly reduced to a second-rate minister.

Lu Chang stayed where he was, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Judging from the importance of his position, his current weight is not as good as 'Jin Xing Shangshu'.

The emperor's trick is poisonous! The ministers thought in their hearts, and promoted the original head of the household department, the squire, and the patrol manager to be the secretary, and took away Lu Chang's power. I am afraid that there is not a single official who has been promoted.

Even if Lu Chang, the head of the household department, was not satisfied, he could not unite the officials of the original household department to resist the emperor's reform. Because everyone will be promoted, the fool will stand in line with Lu Chang.

In other words, Lu Chang is now alone and unable to resist, so he has to obediently obey the order.

The emperor's move is similar to the original 'Tui En Order'.

The Tui En Order is a conspiracy, and there is no way to resist.

"Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't want to be the secretary of the 'household registration department', and the old minister thinks that the old minister is still more suitable for the post of 'Jin Xing Shangshu'." Lu Chang retreated and begged, and stepped forward to play.

"Lu Chang, are you sure you want to be a Jin Xing Shangshu?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The secretary of the household registration department still uses the original position of the secretary of the household department. ”

"The old minister is sure." Lu Chang said. Secretly muttered, although the book of the household register is still called the book of the household department, but now it only manages the household registration of the world, what is the use of just one name?

Although it sounds like I'm still a Tobe Shangshu, and I haven't risen or fallen, I don't actually have much power anymore.

Lao Chen doesn't want such a false name.

And I like money, and looking at the mountains of gold and silver in the gold bank every day can also comfort my lost heart.

"Okay, your ability is not bad, and you used to manage the household department well. There is no merit and hard work, so let you be the 'gold line' Shangshu, the original official in charge of the Ministry of Gold, as the household department Shangshu, and manage the household registration of the world. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Thank Emperor Longen!" Lv Chang thanksgiving.

Finally got an important position in Jinxing, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.

"Chen Liang." Zhu Yuanzhang named again.

After moving the household department, he was ready to start the military department.

The military department is too important, and he must cut it and divide its power. In the past, the Ministry of War was in charge of the selection of military attachés, the training of non-commissioned officers, the recruitment of sergeants, the garrison, and the manufacture and storage of ordnance...... The position of power is too heavy.

Once the military department Shangshu participated in the rebellion, the soldiers and weapons were ready.

So it has to be differentiated.

"What affairs are in charge of your military department, and how many officials are under it?" Zhu Yuanzhang still uses that set.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is in charge of ......" Chen Liang narrated one by one.

"The military department can be divided into three departments, which are in charge of ordnance, recruitment, and sergeant training." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The three ministries are directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and the structure of the five military governors remains unchanged. ”

Because of the particularity of the military department, it is divided into relatively few parts, and it must be directly under the control of the emperor.

"Obey the order!" Chen Liang said.

……

"Your Majesty, if you have to reorganize six ministries, the minister suggests that one ministry be reorganized first. After the complete restructuring was completed, other departments gradually followed suit. At this time, Liu Bowen admonished, "If all the six ministries are changed at once, the institutional changes of the imperial court will be too great." Officials of various ministries are not able to familiarize themselves with their respective powers and affairs in a short period of time. ”

Liu Bowen's suggestion is also very reasonable, you have to take your time in everything, and you can't become a big fat man in one bite.

When a new official takes office, it takes a process of adaptation and familiarization.

If many departments are reorganized at once, and there are too many new officials, the entire imperial court system is likely to become a plate of scattered sand. There were many unexpected problems that made it impossible for the affairs of the court to proceed normally.

"Yes, after the new ministry officials take office, there must be a process of adaptation and familiarization." Li Shanchang also said. "Lao Chen's suggestion is also to try out one or two ministries first, and then gradually implement them."

"You two are a little unwarranted." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The new officials of the various ministries are all promoted from the old officials of the ministry. After being promoted to Shangshu, they still dealt with their original affairs, but their positions changed. ”

Install the latest version. 】

"They are already familiar with their role, so why should they be familiar with the process?"

"Besides, the new officials have just been promoted, and they will definitely do their best for the court. So they're just going to do better than before, not making a mess. ”

"In addition, it is also a test of their ability. If they can't do things well when they are promoted, it proves that they were not able to do the things they did before. ”

"The emperor is wise!" When the ministers heard this, they said one after another.

"Your Majesty, since there are many new departments and many books, then we need to build some new official offices and yamen, so that they can handle official affairs independently." Yang Xiandao, Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, said, "It will take time to build these new official offices." ”

"You can temporarily let them handle affairs in the same place, just change the brand." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Of course, the official offices of the new departments must be built, and they must be built quickly."

"Otherwise, the six newly established departments will all be crowded into the household department, and everyone will be old acquaintances, and it is easy to collude and form a party. Anren, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, after you go down, you will start to handle it immediately. ”

"Minister, obey the order." Shan Anren said.

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang subdivided the remaining six ministries and the power of Zhongshu Province into a total of 30 ministries.

That is to say, the current Ming Dynasty already has thirty departments in charge and thirty Shangshu. Each Shangshu is in charge of a department, the goal is clearer, and it is clear who is responsible for what affairs.

It used to be called complicated, but now it is called simplified.

If anyone makes a mistake in their position or does not do a good job, they can be directly held accountable, and there will never be a matter of finding someone to take the blame.
