Chapter 481: Constitution

Zhang Chong first looked at the title of the table and knew that it was the table of Taishan Military County Taishou Xu Yan.

Xu Yan is a representative of the officials who stayed in the central and southern Lu region, and since Zhuge Jue and others went north, he has been presiding over the government affairs of the central and southern Lu region.

If this senior member wants to impeach the post of stationing in the Yitai region, it cannot be overstated.

So Zhang Chong put aside the other twists and turns and concentrated on reading the above table.

Zhang Chong looked at it very carefully, but after he finished reading it, Rao was stunned for a while with Zhang Chong's decision.

Just because the things involved in this are related to the basic policy of the Taishan Army today, that is, land.

Because the stakes were so high, Zhang Chong asked the confessor to call a few Shangshu Zhonglang on the side of the front hall to discuss.

With the foundation of the system and the pacification of Hebei, the military and politics of the Taishan Army also began to be institutionalized. Although this is not something that can be achieved overnight, there is still a lot of new atmosphere.

First of all, Zhang Chong consciously reformed the current Taishan military system by imitating the bureaucratic framework of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The Taishan Army was an emerging force, but it was still deeply influenced by the Han family, and generally continued to use the Han system.

However, the Han family's system was void of the three dukes, and the political model of the heavy internal dynasty and the great generals was undoubtedly a political system with a high degree of internal friction, so reform was imperative.

As a person downstream of history, Zhang Chong naturally knew that the system of three provinces and six ministries, which had matured after 400 years of turmoil, was more efficient than the system of three princes and nine secretaries.

Of course, Zhang Chong is not arrogant, he does not necessarily think that the system of three provinces and six ministries is necessarily suitable for today's Taishan Army, so he did not take a big step, but carried out reforms on a small scale.

The first article of the reform was to put his office in the front hall of the Zhao Palace, and then built a batch of reed houses outside the corridor outside the front hall, and then let the three high-ranking officials work here.

The reason for this is simple: the reduction of geographical distance is itself a means of improving administrative efficiency.

It may be that with the expansion of personnel, the three provincial capitals will be separated, but at present, this method is suitable for today's Taishan Army.

is also because the cabinet is dealing with political affairs, so Zhang Chong will also be appointed as a political affairs hall.

Then according to the process of government affairs, a local government affairs must first be sent to the seals, and then someone must specially sort out these seals, according to the type of government affairs to be sent to the front hall and other Zhang Chong to deal with, Zhang Chong can deal with it will be directly approved to the edict, and then someone will carry it out.

Therefore, according to this process, the division of government affairs can be divided into three important processes: governance, discussion and governance.

This part of the administration is mainly a confidential department, and Zhang Chong also set it up as a "secretary province" to deal with the documents sent by the county guards in various places.

In this part of the discussion, Zhang Chong and the six ministers and the ministers who are old in government affairs came to discuss, in fact, it is the highest think tank of the entire Taishan Army, and Zhang Chong set up this ministry as the "Menxia Province", which means that the department to discuss political affairs together under the door of the front hall.

After the discussion of the lower provinces, the edict should be drafted and sent to the six ministries.

And this department is equivalent to Zhang Chong's pen, which is specially recruited, so it is not in the outer court political hall but directly in the front hall, so it is also called "the front hall office".

When these edicts are correct, they will be sent to the specific six parts or directly to the local officials who wrote them.

The six ministries are the executive departments, and together they are called Shangshu Province, and the ministers are also called Shangshulang, and the deputy officials are called Shangshu Shilang.

These six departments are modeled after the six official systems of Zhou rites, with six departments: officials, finance, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, each of which has its own function. For example, as the majority of the ministry, there are four divisions, namely the Quanxuan Division, the Examination Division, the Education Division, and the Closure and Retirement Division.

These four divisions were innovated by Zhang Chong in accordance with the model of modern talent management.

As the name suggests, the selection department is to make a list of candidates, assess the ability of candidates, select and deploy candidates to the corresponding positions, and handle the transfer.

The examination of merit is a special assessment of the administrative results of Taishan officers, divided into four grades: upper, upper and lower, lower and lower, and evaluated once a year, and those who can get two superiors can be promoted to one level.

After that, there was the Department of Educational Administration. Compared with the laissez-faire of officials' abilities in the past, the Taishan Military Council will continue to cultivate the officials under its rule, and this training includes the incumbency to ensure the continuous growth of Taishan military talents.

And the last one is the closure and retirement department, which is mainly to handle the affairs of retired officials and retired officials.

In order to prevent the officials from following the rules, Zhang Chong specially introduced the retreat of the officials, so that the people below could be able to improve their abilities and ensure the combat effectiveness of the official group.

Of course, Zhang Chong also knows that in today's world of great contention, talents with government affairs ability are already scarce, and it is too late for other forces to be used, let alone let people go down.

And if you rashly let the officials leave their posts, it is easy to leak the intelligence of the Taishan Army.

It is precisely because of the above practical considerations that Zhang Chong did not adopt the end-of-the-end elimination system commonly used in some modern enterprises, but only transferred the government affairs assessment for four consecutive years to other departments.

In addition to the specific functions of the six ministries, there have also been tremendous changes in the logic of government affairs.

In the Tang Dynasty, the six ministers were affairs officials and did not participate in politics, so they would always have conflicts with their subordinates.

And now Zhang Chong has given all the governors of the six ministries the authority to discuss politics, that is to say, he usually sits in Cao Si, but if there is something involving him, he will come to the front hall to discuss politics.

The advantage of this is twofold: one is that the six ministers are more aware of the situation of the sector, and their participation in decision-making ensures the rationality of decision-making.

Another important reason is that their participation in politics can bridge the gap between planning and implementation to the greatest extent.

After all, there is a saying that goes like this:

"Because I participated, I agreed."

When the ministers hold the edict he has discussed, he will push it forward himself, instead of passing the buck to each other.

The above government reforms have not been implemented for a long time, and everything has not been finalized, but even from the current point of view, Zhang Chong's reform is still very original, not that it is directly used to move the three provinces and six ministries of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Whether this set of small-scale reforms can adapt to the current situation still needs to be verified by time.

……

Soon, the confessors who belonged to the secretary of the front hall called the six elders of the subordinate province and the secretary of the Ministry of Finance who was involved in land affairs.

These confessors are also quite hard, and they are intended to be copied and summoned before and after. This is also Zhang Chong's employment style, doing his best.

Menxia Province is just outside the front hall and comes the fastest, while the Ministry of Finance and other six departments are in the south hall outside the palace, so they are the slowest.

In the process of waiting for the Ministry of Finance's book, Zhang Chong had already asked the confessor to copy six copies of Xu Yan's impeachment form.

This was not only to facilitate the reading of the six subordinate officials, but also to hide Xu Yan's notes from being recognized by those present.

Now the six subordinates present are all carefully selected by Zhang Chong, including both the old lords of the Taishan Army and the senior talents who are proficient in government affairs, in short, Zhang Chong spent a lot of time for this list.

At this time, the layout of the front hall is like this.

Zhang Chong sat facing north and facing south, facing the door.

And on his left hand side were six mats, which were for the six men to sit on. And on his right hand side there are also six mats, which are for the six Shangshu to sit on, although these people do not participate in every discussion, but they still have to reserve their seats to show respect.

However, although the monks and monks are all sitting side by side, this life is based on the left, so it still reflects the nobility of the doors.

At this time, the first place on the left column is Du Man, and below him are He Kui, Tao Di, Cai Yong, Zhuge Jue, and Tian Feng.

The ranking of seats in itself speaks to the level of the subordinates.

Du Man, as Zhang Chong's hair and the father of the business together, is naturally the chief. And He Kui was Zhang Chong's biggest mastermind in the entire process of the war, with outstanding merits and was secondary.

And Tao Di had a far-sighted plan and planned the strategic decisions of the Taishan Army several times. Then Cai Yong Qinggui, who is a high-level member of the Han family, is still Zhang Chong's father-in-law, so naturally he also has a seat. And Zhuge Jue is a capable minister who is skilled in government affairs and is in charge of general affairs, so he also has a seat.

But the strange thing is, how can Tian Feng be virtuous? He is just a descendant, even if he is really capable, even if he is the last seat, he will not be able to take this person's turn.

Indeed, Dong Zhao is also a candidate for himself, after all, this person is stronger than Tian Feng in ability, merit, and reading. But after thinking about it in the end, Zhang Chong still chose Tian Feng.

There is no other reason, just because Tian Feng is a northerner.

Just look at the five subordinates above, all of them are merit and ability, and everyone is convinced. But when you put it together, who are these five people? is either from Qingzhou or Yanzhou, what does this make the current Hebei people think?

Every subordinate can participate in politics, and every edict issued from here involves the interests of a large group of people, and if no one in Hebei is in Menxia Province, then they will think that no one cares about their own interests.

And now that the main body of the Taishan Army is in Hebei, then this layer must be considered, so in terms of the identity of Hebei people, Tian Feng is the most suitable.

One is that this person is indeed good, and because he surrendered early, he had no blood feud with the Taishan army.

Of course, the latter condition is the most important, otherwise the other person is also from Hebei, why didn't Zhang Chong choose him?

Isn't it because this person resisted stubbornly when he defended Xiangguo, causing a lot of casualties to Guan Yu's left army?

If he chooses to be his subordinate, the generals of the Marshal's Mansion of the Left Army will be sad.

The above is the difficulty of politics, Zhang Chong would rather fight the battle of Zhongrenting again than draw the camp in this distribution of interests.

But this is politics, if you don't do it, people will do it, and then the authority will be someone else's.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling he is, Zhang Chong still manages the government tirelessly every day.

With our inhuman physique of Taishan Superman, he is born to be a good material on the case.

……

Sure enough, as the six disciples read the table book, they really had different thoughts.

Even when the Ministry of Finance Shangshu entered the palace solemnly, no one raised his head to take a look.

Although the names of the six subordinates present were not wise, judging from the content and the object of impeachment, we knew that the impeacher must be the head of the Fenggao region, but I don't know whether it was Xu Yan or Hu Muban, of course, others may also be.

The content of the table is not long, and the impeachers mainly impeached Guan Yu, the marshal of the Left Army, for one crime, that is, intruding on the place.

The tone of the impeacher was not harsh, and even a little aggrieved, he said that he had advised Guan Yu several times, but he did not accept it, and insisted on going his own way despite the opposition of the high-ranking officials.

So what did Guan Yu do to intrude on the place?

It turned out that our Marshal of the Left Army had once again divided the land in the Laiwu area.

And this is what everyone in the field attaches importance to, and it is also what Zhang Chong feels tricky.

In terms of authority, Guan Yu, as the commander of the festival, commanded all military and political affairs in central and southern Shandong, and dividing the field, as an important means for the Taishan Army to develop the place and clean up the place, is naturally Guan Yu's authority.

But this time, Guan Yu did not divide the land of Haoqiang, but once again divided the land of the Qiantou who had been allocated the land five years ago.

That's the crux of the matter.

Among the people present, the others were full of thoughts, only the chief Du Man's eyes flashed.

Because he knows the matter best, or rather the problem.

He had discovered this problem in the old Taishan area before, that is, the head of Qiantou and the tyrant.

At that time, he also wanted to reorganize the division of fields in the Taishan area, but Du Man was more cautious, and only piloted it on a small scale, planning to obtain Zhang Chong's consent before promoting.

But when he went north to Yecheng to report the matter, he was categorically opposed by Zhang Chong.

At that time, the reason given by the king was that at this critical moment, the old man's heart should not be scattered, and they should be allowed to give birth with peace of mind.

Judging from the results that followed, the king was indeed right.

In the two northern expeditions that followed, the reason why the Taishan army had no worries about food was the result of the hard work and courage of these farmers in the rear.

But now Du Man wondered why the king still brought out the same kind of thing now.

According to the conclusion made a year ago, what Guan Yu is doing in the Laiwu area now is definitely inappropriate. Since this is the case, it is enough to directly recruit the Marshal Department of the Left Army who is planning to apply for Fenggao.

But now that I have taken a lot of trouble to call the six subordinates and the Ministry of Finance to discuss the matter, what does this mean?

It shows that the king has a new view on this matter.

So, Duman decided to see what the king had to say.

When Du Man was thinking, Zhuge Jue, who was sitting in the fifth seat, was quite apprehensive.

In fact, he knew about it, and he also knew that this impeachment letter must have come from the hands of the current Taishan Taishou Xu Yan.

Why is Zhuge so sure?

Because Xu Yan mentioned this in a private letter to him before, he also wanted Zhuge Jue to convey it on his behalf.

Xu Yan was Zhuge Jue's deputy in Mount Tai that year, and it was he who recommended Xu Yan to take charge of Fenggao after he left Mount Tai.

According to the tradition of the Han family, he Zhuge Jue is the master of Xu Yan, and Xu Yan is his protégé, and the two must be in the same breath politically.

But Zhuge Jue hated this set, and he even regarded this old custom of protégés as the root cause of the disaster of the Han family.

Therefore, Zhuge Jue did not make any promises to Xu Yan, but just let people understand Fenggao's situation.

And with this understanding, Zhuge Jue knew that he would never be able to express his position on this matter.

What did Zhuge Jue learn? It is possible to silence such an official with moral ideals.

The title is correct, and the next step is a series of internal integrations around the foundation of the land. Please subscribe more and have more monthly passes.
