Xu Shu was appointed as the president of the Inspectorate, with a first-rank official position.
According to records of later generations, the Supervisory Office, the Ministry of Punishment, and Dali Temple were collectively called the Three Law Divisions. When major cases were encountered, they would be jointly tried by the Three Law Divisions, also known as the "Three Law Divisions". The Dajing Dynasty did not have the post of Dali Temple, but there was the Beizhen Fusi, but the management of the Beizhen Fusi was different from that of the Inspectorate.
Beizhen Fusi was transformed from the Shadow Guard, in the dark.
The Inspectorate is in the Ming Dynasty.
The Supervisory Office of the Dajing Dynasty had three responsibilities. The first was to supervise officials, impeachment, and discipline management. The second was to cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment in Charlie's cases. The third was to redress the grievances of the people. It was equivalent to the courts of later generations, but it was not entirely a court.
The Supervisory Yuan sets up an inspection office in every state, an inspection bureau is set up in each county under the prefecture, and an inspection team is set up at the county level. There are one hundred inspectors in each inspectorate office, wearing special inspection uniforms. There are fifty people in the inspection bureau and twenty-five people in the inspection team.
These people specialize in managing local security.
Any behavior that violates the civil laws of Dajing, such as murder, theft, robbery, etc., can be dealt with in accordance with the civil laws.
According to the management of ancient officials, this matter should be managed by the local magistrate.
But Zhang Xiu took this matter out of the hands of the county magistrate and focused on it. This matter is related to the interests of thousands of people. The county magistrate is already very busy. If you mix these things together, it will be beyond your capabilities. It is better to leave it to the Supervisory Council for unified management.
In fact, Xu Shu did not expect that the power in his hands would be so great.
So far, there are six major prefectures in Dajing: Liang, Yong, Bei, Yi, Ji, and Youzhou. From prefecture to county, large and small, together, he managed more than 50,000 people.
Under the Inspectorate, there are censors from the left and right censors to coordinate with themselves.
Having just solved the problem of moving the capital, Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, with the help of his son, he persuaded these old guys and waited for Tian Jing's national policy to be successfully implemented before he started preparing to move the capital.
Moreover, this matter is costly and must be prepared in advance.
It is estimated that the reason for Jia Xu's opposition is probably related to money. After all, he manages the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is equivalent to being the financial head of Dajing, and he cares about money.
With the implementation of Dajing Tongbao across the country, it gradually replaced the five-baht coin.
With money in his own hands, the national treasury will be enriched. Although last year's war cost a lot of money, it has gradually become more expensive this year, especially the public opinion war with Cao Wei and Liu Chu, which made Dajing earn a lot of money.
After Jizhou and Youzhou became the territory of Dajing, a large amount of Dajing Tongbao flowed into the market, causing the five baht coins to depreciate rapidly. In order to get rid of the five baht coins, the people all rushed to exchange the five baht coins in their hands for Dajing Tongbao. Of course, this exchange is of equal value, otherwise the local people would not be able to survive.
This is a blessing that Zhang Xiu gave to the local people.
After the public opinion war was over, Zhang Xiu decided to go to Youzhou to see it in person. The previous trip to Youzhou was for Zhang He and Gao Lan, but it was too hasty. When I get the chance, I'll be ready to see the future capital.
At this moment, Su Jin came in and reported: "Dean of the Inspectorate, Dean Xu wants to see you."
Zhang Xiu: "Let him come in!"
Then he looked at Zhang Biao: "Biao'er, ask your mother to cook a bowl of red date porridge! Tonight, I want to eat dumplings and pork dumplings!"
"Here!" Zhang Biao retreated.
Not long after, Xu Shu came in and bowed down first.
Zhang Xiu smiled: "Yuan Zhi! How do you feel about being asked to serve as the Inspectorate?"
Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "Rong Chen said something unpleasant. Anyone who sees an official who is impeaching someone has to hide away. But the power in his hand is so great that when he meets me, everyone has to respect me."
Zhang Xiu laughed: "I know that you, Xu Yuanzhi, are a man of literary and military ability. This position belongs to you. If it were given to someone else, you really wouldn't be able to do it, hahaha!"
Xu Shu said: "Your Majesty, it is the duty of the Supervisory Council to supervise hundreds of officials. It is their duty to impeach disobedient ministers. However, in order to redress the grievances of the people and manage the local public security, I believe that those who do not know the laws of the people of Dajing cannot take this position. But you understand me. In Dajing, only those officials who were Jinshi were responsible for the civil laws. How can others represent the civil laws and govern?"
"You raised this question well, and explained the problem in a thorough and pertinent manner!" Zhang Xiu nodded, "I have also considered this matter. The duty of local officials is to be responsible for the lives of the people and to implement national policies. Develop the local economy and make the people prosperous. Officials are already busy with their duties, so where can we find time to deal with civil laws? You can only be responsible for this."
Xu Shu was in a dilemma: "But I don't have anyone who understands the civil laws."
"You don't have to worry about this!" Zhang Xiu had already prepared a countermeasure, "I am going to set up a special school of civil law in the school to let students study Dajing civil law. Anyone who graduates from the school of civil law can work under me. how?"
In fact, not only in civil law, but also in water conservancy, construction, steel, etc., Zhang Xiu is planning to set up professional schools, just like the various departments in later generations, but they are not as numerous and complex as later generations, and talents and employment are also limited. It won't be so difficult.
In this way, the way out for the people is no longer just farming.
Of course, farming is absolutely indispensable. After all, food is the most important thing for the people. The grain output in the Han Dynasty was far less than that of later generations. How dare you let most people engage in academics? Zhang Xiu ordered school-age children to study only in local counties. If you want to continue studying, you must have some financial resources. Or there are people who want to have a successful child and spend all their money to send their children to study. This is personal freedom.
Anyway, within Dajing, the circulation of people was not restricted.
When Xu Shu heard this, he relaxed a lot: "If this is the case, it is naturally best."
Zhang Xiu: "Establish a civil law department in every state, a civil law bureau in every county, and a civil law office in each county. These offices are attached to the inspectors and are managed by the inspectors in each place. This matter is You are responsible for it, I have already mentioned it to Jia Xu about allocating the money, you can just go to Shang Cheng Pavilion to find him."
"In this case, the country's burden will become heavier." Xu Shu said with some worry.
After all, this expense is very huge, and the monthly salary alone is a big expense.
Zhang Xiu smiled: "The wool comes from the sheep, and only the money that circulates is money. The court can naturally take back the money that is distributed."
Xu Shu was even more worried: "The emperor wants to increase taxes?"
Zhang Xiu said seriously: "I have said that I will never increase taxes. This is written into the ancestral precepts of Emperor Jing. Just make profits from salt, iron, wine, silk, tea, horses, grain, etc.!"
Only then did Xu Shu relax.
After all, these things are government-run, so the prices will not be set too high, the burden on the people will not increase much, and the court's tax revenue can be guaranteed.
Xu Shu: "Your Majesty!"
