Chapter 989: The County System

Cabinet, Government Council, Zhuge Liang looked at a folding seal in his hand, but he considered it word by word, and in the next position, Beicheng Mingyue was holding tea, blowing the leaves on the tea water, and drinking it slowly.

After a while, Zhuge Liang put down the folding chapter in his hand, and he had memorized the content of this folding chapter in his heart, but the content of this folding chapter was not much, there were only two, redrawing the official system, reregulating the counties and counties, Zhuge Liang still agreed with these two articles.

Great Chu now follows the official system of the empire, and it has been downgraded one level above the empire, which is nothing, the problem is that the nominal territory of the Great Chu Kingdom is only half of Nanxing Mansion and Suzaku Dacheng in two places, so in fact, there are few righteous officials in Great Chu, except for the six cabinet departments with the largest number of people, the military aircraft department, and the local officials all add up to no more than two hundred.

In contrast, there are countless local inspectors under the cabinet, mainly divided into three levels: town inspectors, city inspectors, and county inspectors, who do the affairs of county commanders, city lords, and town mayors, but do not have a formal appointment, but only stay in the name of patrols.

It is also very necessary to re-regulate the counties, because Da Chu manages Chuzhou, and the six cabinets directly manage the county level, and the government level is almost abolished, and the rest of the people are also given a vacant position, but they have no real power, so it can be said that the government level has almost existed in name only.

The imperial system, within a county, there are county orders, six county departments, from the main book, military captains, wardens, etc., there are no less than dozens of people with official names up and down, and this is not counting those clerks, officials and other officials, almost all of them are supernumerary, this is not counted, on the local register, the names on it are more evil than supernumerary, and there are more than twice as many people who want to eat the yamen.

And the imperial system has a very unreasonable place, that is, the establishment of the government patrol, the county guard, the county order management office, in addition to the county, there are also two levels of officials, the city lord, the town mayor two levels of officials, the power of the city lord is comparable to the county guard, the small can also be comparable to the county order.

Just say Xiangyang, Xiangyang City has the county ya, the county ya, as well as the city lord's mansion, the three-level yamen, many functions are overlapping and staggered in the right to collect taxes, the county yamen has, the city lord also has, and the most special thing is that the city lord has the authority of a city, can set up soldiers and horses, and this is the county, the county yamen does not have because of the imperial government division, the local soldiers and horses are mainly garrisoned by the three major legions.

In fact, it is not difficult to explain such a situation, most of the candidates for the mayor of the city are the emperor's henchmen, and these towns stationed in them are all big ports and heavy cities, and they want to be towns, so to speak, this is also a way for the royal family to strengthen its control over the place, but it is not without the weakening of the empire, and the control of the place is not as good as before.

Great Chu occupies Chu and Yangzhou, and appears in a regulatory posture, so in the locality, there are still officials of the empire, as well as appointed city lords, although these officials, city lords have been delegated to no longer manage affairs, but they occupy a position, if it is not suppressed at the beginning, it is estimated that these people would have made a mess of the place long ago.

The two items in this fold are equivalent to reform, get rid of the empire, and establish their own set of things, correct the name of hundreds of officials, and correct local power, Zhuge Liang naturally understands the necessity of this matter, but if he does this, it is equivalent to not recognizing that he is a subject country of the empire, and he is a country of his own, what kind of impact will it bring.

"Let's leave this chapter for the time being, the stakes are very high, I can't wait for a light decision, let's wait for His Highness to come back!" Zhuge Liang thought about it, whether to implement the county reform or not, the problem is not big, Da Chu is now strong and strong, and the national strength is prosperous, so he is not afraid of the empire turning against him, so this matter still depends on Leng Zhuo's meaning in the end.

Beicheng Mingyue didn't plan to come over today, so he could get the confirmed news directly, and this folding chapter was just a temptation, but obviously, this second assistant should agree with this reform method, but obviously he also had the same worries as him, and in the end, it still had to depend on the king of Chu, and as long as the king of Chu nodded on this matter, then it would be logical to re-establish the country, re-enthrone the throne, and divide the hundred officials, etc.

The last time it was shaken like that, the founding ceremony that should have been extremely grand actually passed by in a hurry like the grass platform team, which is a pity and a stain, although if it wasn't for Leng Zhuo's recklessness at that time, maybe there would not have been the establishment of the Great Chu Kingdom!

The harem, a small three-story building, was shrouded in an ethereal large formation, although the north wind in February brought some coldness, but in this building, it was warm.

The women of the light gauze robes, the purple and red, the warblers and swallows are quite relaxed and comfortable, or sitting on the couch covered with edelweiss bearskin, or sitting on the thick carpet on the spot, or sitting at the table, in short, there are various postures, and the clothes are very casual, occasionally revealing a little spring light in the milky white candlelight, but also looks shining, blooming with a milky white halo.

This small building does not belong to any palace, nor is it the residence of any princess, but the location of the harem secretariat.

It can be said that in all dynasties and generations, women are just canaries raised in the deep palace, and their only mission is to inherit the royal family, and the only fun is to engage in palace fighting, calculating people, and those who are more ambitious want to meddle in the court and come to a curtain.

But in the harem of the Great Chu Kingdom, it is very different, thanks to Leng Zhuo's lazy character of being the shopkeeper, and Leng Zhuo's open mind, the women in the harem of Great Chu finally don't have to use calculating people to entertain their bodies and minds, and compete for favor, because they don't have time and energy.

Every day, there are always busy things, just a big Chu Ping'an Bank is enough to keep them busy, after all, there are no computers in this other world, although many can be faked, but the year-end settlement, the inspection of accounts can not be faked.

After all, this is not tens of millions of money, but tens of thousands, more than 100,000 money flows, but if one mistake is missed, it is an astronomical loss, and for Leng Zhuo to throw such a big package to them, although the women complained on their mouths, they hugged more tightly than anyone else, because Da Chu Ping'an Bank controlled the economic lifeline of the empire.

Da Chu Bank, in charge of taxes, in charge of official salaries, the distribution of soldiers' salaries, and at the same time to the merchants and farmers issued low-interest loans, it can be said that Da Chu Ping'an Bank has now involved all aspects of its tentacles, if they do not sign their names, Da Chu's cabinet will have no money to support, and Da Chu's army will have no pay.

Although they still can't participate in government affairs, the bank is enough to satisfy their own ambitions, and they don't have the heart to calculate people.

"Ah, it's finally checked!" Nan Fengling stretched his waist very much, and the pigeon on his chest was about to come out of his lazy waist, and then he picked up a thick account on the table and sent it to Nangong Yuhu: "Sister Yuhu, do you want me to help you share something!"

"Hehe, there's not much left anymore! You can take a rest first, so that you can also work for more than a month! But when these are all calculated, it will be easy!" Although Nangong Yuhu had a trace of fatigue on her face, the satisfaction in her heart made her full of energy.

Nangong Yuhu was the first talented woman and beauty of Shengtian Academy back then, how could a woman like her be willing to do nothing, this woman was the most terrible when she was idle and cranky, but fortunately, Nangong Yuhu met Leng Zhuo, so her intelligence and energy have a place to use, otherwise this scheming will make many twists and turns in this small harem.

"Relaxed, I'm afraid it's not easy, our dear Highness has driven the Japanese people away, but the mess in Yangzhou is getting worse and worse, the news brought back from the people sent out, along the waters of Taihu Lake, there are ten rooms and nine emptiness, the villages and towns are seriously damaged, and Yangzhou City, this time it is the focus of the war, but it is a lot more dilapidated!"

"Wait, His Royal Highness will come back, and he will definitely convene the cabinet to discuss the plan to rebuild Yangzhou, just here in Chuzhou, it costs money like water every year, and a lot of money is spilled out, and now I add another Yangzhou, I don't know how much it will cost every day!" Lu Chanyue also put down the pen in her hand, pinching her sour fingers, this princess in charge of many industries of the royal family, is also a banner in this harem.

"Yes, the reconstruction of Yangzhou is also a large expense, this money will definitely not be available to the cabinet and the household department, the loan from the bank is certain, and I don't know how many accounts will be involved, and I can't be idle if I want to! Nangong Yuhu showed a wry smile, although she didn't want to waste her talent, but she was so busy all day, it was inevitable that she wanted to be lazy again, thinking of Leng Zhuo's handshake shopkeeper, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.

The women naturally knew what Nangong Yuhu said, Leng Zhuo caught a pair of female ninjas, and they were happy all day long, how could they hide it, you must know that behind them, they are not alone, but have a family to support them, not to mention, the secretariat has a separate intelligence system, this matter, Leng Zhuo can't hide it.

As soon as the woman's words box opened, she suddenly couldn't stop: "By the way, I heard that our Qingya junior school girl has been living in Vermilion Bird City for a while, and when she was in the academy, this junior school girl was on the list, and listening to her evaluation, it is not ordinarily high!"

"When you said this, I just found out that this guy has long been bold, and he was on the list at the beginning, but more than half of them were there!" Nangong Yuhu also put down his pen, but a pair of beautiful eyes swept everywhere.

"After the night moon, the Moon Princess, Frost Youzhi, Princess Lan, Sister Wan'er of the Thousand Illusion Demon Princess, Sister Shimizu Fu, and the Butterfly Dream Elf Qingya School Sister outside, tsk, a few years ago, Princess Piaoxue still had plans to marry, I heard that when I went north, in Yuntian Fortress, I was also entangled with Sister Tang!"

was said by Nangong Yuhu like this, the women were really sudden, this guy was really a color embryo back then, but I hated to believe his nonsense reasons at the beginning, but now that I think about it, I have a different taste of memories, this time, it has been ten years.

"I heard that Sister Tang is in the Qingzhou Forbidden Army, but she is regarded as a Tianluo Fairy by those forbidden soldiers! It is said that she is not married yet, and now she is the public lover pursued by soldiers in the army!"

"Oh, I remember if she wasn't betrothed?"

"Her fiancé died during the attack and defense of Yuntian Fortress, and I don't know if someone was careful, so he caused an accident!"

"Jade Fox, if you say that, if it reaches his ears, you will have to suffer!"

"I'm not afraid of him, it's a big deal to pull you on my back!" Nangong Yuhu was said this, and he was also a little flurging in his heart, this time he came back, and he had to conceive a child no matter what.

At the end of the chapter, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a reward, yesterday Kong Ming Lantern gave a suggestion, a thousand chapters when there is a big wedding, the mouse thinks it is feasible, although it is not enough to make up the ten beauty of the Holy Heaven, but there are also six or seven, plus other drops, En, the mouse can't be counted, it seems that there are enough stallions!
