One province, four ministries and five hospitals.

This is the restructuring plan that Han Zhen and a group of officials have agreed on a long time ago, and it is also the political framework under his rule.

The so-called three provinces and six ministries had already begun to be restructured by the Tang Dynasty.

With Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province as the core of decision-making, it is for Zhongshu Menxia, and Shangshu Province is gradually separated from the decision-making circle.

By the time of the Song Dynasty, the six ministries of the three provinces existed in name only, and were replaced by the political hall and the Privy Council, and they completely became the official of Jilu.

Han Zhen directly eliminated Shangshu Province, merged and retained the remaining two provinces, and Zhongshu was also known as the cabinet.

The cabinet is tentatively composed of four people, with the highest chief being the Zhongshu Order, and the subordinate Zhongshu Sheren, and the left and right servants.

That is, the prime minister, the second slaughter, and the young slaughter.

"Zhao Ting!"

"Wechen is here!"

"Order Zhao Ting to shoot for the right servant of the Zhongshu Sect!"

Got in the cabinet?

Zhao Ting was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was ecstatic.

originally thought that he had a bad reputation before, but Han Zhen saw that he was interested in and returned to obedience early, and it was already very good to be able to maintain his original position, but he never thought that he would be able to enter the cabinet.

Although it was only a right-hand shot, it had finally entered the core decision-making circle.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ting was grateful and said, "Minister, I am grateful." ”

After getting along for so long, Zhao Ting still has the ability.

At first, Han Zhen wanted to transfer him to Jinan Mansion as the prefect, but he was a little uneasy, afraid that he would let himself go if he left him.

simply put it under your nose and spur it all the time.

Second, Zhao Ting, as the first batch of Zhao Song officials to defect to him in the real sense, let him enter the cabinet, which can also have a propaganda effect and appease the old ministers of Zhao and Song.

After Zhao Ting finished expressing his loyalty, Han Zhen continued to announce the personnel transfer: "Order Shi Wenhui to shoot for the left servant of Zhongshumen." ”

"Thanks to the county magistrate for not giving up, the minister must do his best to repay the king's kindness!"

Shi Wenhui gritted his teeth and restrained the stirring thoughts in his heart.

I think he will be able to enter the cabinet one day.

The chances of life are truly magical.

Chang Yukun's face remained unchanged, and he did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction with Han Zhen's appointment.

He knew very well in his heart that Shi Wenhui was able to enter the cabinet because of his military background.

With the importance that the county magistrate attaches to the army, there must be a military person in the cabinet.

Rough men like Nie Dong and Wei Da are not suitable, so if you calculate it, there is only Shi Wenhui.

"Xie Ding is the secretary of the ministry."

"Liu Mi is the secretary of the household department."

"Wang Weizhong is the secretary of the criminal department."

"Zhu Ji is the governor of Mizhou."

“……”

The official system in the Northern Song Dynasty was extremely chaotic, in addition to the bloated departmental structure, the official titles were also chaotic...... It made people's heads big for a while, and it also gave later generations of scholars who studied Song history a headache.

It is no exaggeration to say that in today's Zhao and Song dynasties, if you refer to an official casually and ask Song Huizong to say the full official name of this official, he will never be able to say it.

Therefore, Han Zhen simply canceled them all and merged the officials, products, and dispatches into one.

For example, Xie Ding, the secretary of the ministry, the grade is the fourth grade, and the Yu Lu is also issued according to the standard of the four grades, and the authority is to manage the ministry, responsible for the selection and examination, annotation, relocation, shadow, and resumption of civil and military officials.

Other than that, no other functions are involved.

Then, Han Zhen appointed a series of four servants and the prefect and the prefect, and when he arrived at the Agricultural College and the Education Institute, he was embarrassed to find that he had no one available.

Han Zhen muttered: "I plan to add an agricultural college and an education college, do you have any recommended candidates?" ”

The College of Agriculture, like the Academy of Engineering, is a highly specialized and extremely important functional department.

After all, this era is still based on agriculture.

The position of dean requires not only professional agricultural knowledge, rich practical experience, but also certain management skills.

Not to mention the Education Academy, which is in charge of the administration of the school, and its reputation, knowledge, and talent are indispensable.

Originally, Han Zhen wanted Xie Ding to serve as the dean of the Education Institute, but the position of the secretary was equally important.

Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought and began to search for suitable candidates in their minds.

At this moment, an official got up and said, "Qiyu County Magistrate, the dean of the College of Agriculture, wants to recommend one person." ”

This person's name is Pei Huai, who was originally sentenced to Jeju, and after Zhizhou and a group of officials abandoned the city and fled, he led the officials to open the city and surrender.

Because he had served as Langzhong in the Ministry of Rites, he had just been promoted to the Ministry of Rites by Han Zhen.

Han Zhen asked, "Who?" ”

Pei Huai replied: "Deng Yufu's son, Deng Song." ”

Just when Han Zhen was wondering who this Deng Yufu was, he saw Liu Mi stroked his beard and said, "This person is good, just right." ”

Seeing his doubts, Pei Huai explained: "County magistrate, this Deng Yufu is a native of Jeju Juye, a master of agriculture, and has compiled one hundred and twenty volumes of the "Lunar Calendar", which records in detail the experience of agriculture and animal husbandry in the north before the Zhao and Song dynasties, as well as the planting technology and health preservation and preparation for famine, which is more detailed than the "Qi Min Yaoshu". His son Deng Song, inheriting the mantle of his father, is better than the blue out of the blue, and Weichen visited several times when he served in Juye County. ”

Han Zhen frowned and said, "Such a great sage, I'm afraid that he has already been an official in Zhao Song, how can he be easily used by me." ”

Pei Huai looked a little strange and said, "Uh...... The county magistrate didn't know that Deng Yufu had a thin temperament and hated officialdom, so he had never entered the office. Although his son Deng Song intended to be an official, he failed in the imperial examination several times, so that he was disheartened, and now he is only a person. Weichen also recommended it to Zhao Song, but in the end there was no follow-up. ”

Yes, this is very much in line with Song Huizong's consistent personality.

Han Zhen was overjoyed and ordered: "This matter will be handed over to you, if I can persuade him to use him for my use, I will give you a credit!" ”

In this era, there are thousands of farmers, but there are really few people who are agronomics.

Because the scholars are all flocking to get famous, even if they fail the list, they will find a brisk job in the account room and the secretary, where will they go to farming.

Reading well, and liking farming, and having the talent for farming, this kind of person is simply rare.

Now that I finally met one, why don't you hurry up?

"The minister must do his best and live up to expectations!"

Pei Huai was overjoyed and replied.

People gather by like, things by groups, and agronomists like Deng Song must have their own social circles.

As long as this person is brought in, the agricultural college can quickly set up a framework.

After finalizing it, Xie Ding said loudly: "Regarding the position of the dean of the Education Institute, the minister wants to recommend one person. ”

"Who?"

"This person's surname is Xu Mingcun, the word is sincere, he studied under Yang Shi, and he is a disciple of Cheng Yi. Xu Cun is a great talent, and his "Lectures on the Six Classics" and "The Explanation of the Mean" have found a new way and are thought-provoking. Only because Luoxue was suppressed, he has not been able to enter the office, and now he has set up a academy in Nantang to give lectures, with more than 1,000 disciples, and protégés are all over Fujian. ”

Xie Ding said, and a group of civil officials discussed a lot, but most of them adhered to the attitude of approval, indicating that this person is indeed very knowledgeable and has a great reputation.

And the teacher can stand on his feet, and the teacher is Mr. Yang Shi, the teacher of the Eight Classics.

Coincidentally, Han Zhen originally planned to attract a group of Luoxue and Shu scholars to Shandong.

If Xu Cun can come, it can be said that he will kill multiple birds with one stone

Thinking of this, Han Zhen asked, "Is Xie Shangshu sure?" ”

"The minister and Xu Cun are quite close, and I think I should sell Yu Chen's face." Xie Ding didn't dare to say too much.

Han Zhen nodded and said, "Try it first, if not, then find another Confucian." ”

After dealing with Wenchen's transfer, Han Zhen set his sights on Nie Dong and the others.

The military department has been eliminated from the six departments and has become an independent military department.

The army has also been restructured, and brigades have been added in addition to the original corps, capitals, battalions, and armies.

Twelve people are a team, ten teams are one capital, ten are one battalion, five battalions are one brigade, and two brigades are one army.

Now counting the auxiliary army, he has nearly 70,000 soldiers under his command, organized into six legions.

The military department has a marshal, under the jurisdiction of the left and right commands, the records of the army, and the six armies.

The marshal is naturally served by Han Zhen himself, how can the military power be handed over to others.

When he joined the army, Shi Wenhui temporarily served as the officer, but if he had a suitable candidate, he would be handed over to the errand.

"Ordered Nie Dong to be the left commander, Wei Da to the right, Shi Wenhui to serve as the record secretary to join the army, Liu Qi, Zhang He, Yu Jun, Wu Bao, Huang Kai, Luo Jiu as the commander."

Among them, Lao Jiu is an alternative.

As a personal guard, he was also promoted to the commander of the capital, and although he commanded an army, the actual number was only 3,000.

But these 3,000 people are the elite of the elite, they are Han Zhen's personal soldiers, stationed in Yidu, and only he can be mobilized.

The political framework is set, and after the transfer of civil and military officials is completed, the formal deliberations begin.

Han Zhen said in a deep voice: "From today onwards, the place under my rule will cancel the official registration, and the officials themselves and their descendants can operate all walks of life. In addition, the name of the official was eliminated and replaced with a supplementary official. The Cabinet drafted a document and issued to all counties, counties and townships. ”

"The minister commands."

Zhao Ting looked solemn and bowed in response.

Xu is Han Zhen's basic plate, and it must be maintained.

Since he shouted out to share the world with the officials, it can't just be a slogan, and he has to take out the benefits in a real way.

Don't look at it, it's just a name change, but the meaning expressed in it will make the subordinate officials ecstatic.

Supplementary officer, which means alternate officer.

As soon as the words fell, Xie Ding, the new secretary of the ministry, got up and said: "County magistrate, now that Shandong has been decided, there is a shortage of state and county officials, and there are officials from all over the country...... The officials were very loud and demanded to open the lock hall again. ”

"Hmm!"

Han Zhen nodded and said: "I also have this intention, and I will open the lock hall test in half a month, and those who are rated as first-class in Qingzhou counties can participate." ”

After a slight pause, he added: "In other newly occupied state capitals, each county can elect five supplementary officials to participate in the hall lock test. ”

The newly occupied state capital supplements also have to be taken care of.

Xie Ding responded: "The minister receives the order." ”

Han Zhen set the tone for the next strategic policy: "After several wars and exploitations, Shandong needs to recuperate now, implement the policy of lightly repaying and giving small endowments, and encourage the people to reclaim wasteland and rich businessmen to open workshops. ”

Just as the ministers responded one after another, they saw Han Zhen's voice change: "I have a matter that I want to discuss with you and others, which is related to officials and corruption!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the civil and military officials were different.

Zhao Ting and Liu Mi changed color one after another, and even Chang Yukun's expression was a little unnatural, so he took a sip of the teacup to hide his embarrassment.
