This problem is actually very easy to understand.
Studying hard in Hanchuang, if not to become an official, why?
The Confucian scholars used Confucian principles to weave a big net for the world, but they themselves were caught in the net and could not extricate themselves.
Who doesn’t want to be an official and do whatever he wants?
Having said that, after the news of the Liberation Army's complete pacification of Guanzhong reached Zhongdu, the situation in Zhongdu became a little sensitive. Many people were carefully observing what Su Yonglin thought of the Astronomical Department's report.
Because Su Yonglin promised them that he would proclaim himself emperor and establish a country after pacifying the Jin Kingdom and safeguard their interests.
They look forward to Su Yonglin proclaiming himself emperor and establishing a country, which will fundamentally stabilize, safeguard and further expand their interests.
But at this stall, Su Yonglin didn't intend to just comply with their wishes.
He wants to make major changes to the country's administrative system to make it more efficient, and at the same time, he can place more of his people into the administrative field and expand the power of the Renaissance Society.
This is the last extensive distribution of political power before the opening of courses to obtain academic qualifications. To consider future political wars, this must be done, done well, and done beautifully.
It just so happens that Su Yonglin deeply hates the existing bloated central and local agencies and the unreasonable and redundant official system such as post-office officials. Such a situation must not occur in his new dynasty.
He wanted to make some revisions to the newly established country, sort out the power distribution system that had been constantly alienated since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in order to prevent military dictatorship, and bring it back to its original track.
So Su Yonglin decided to hold the first secret meeting on national system construction.
This is the first round of revisions, and it is also the most important round of revisions. The participants are all Su Yonglin's base, and their opinions are the most important.
After getting through with them, Su Yonglin would bring the content discussed with them to the second round of meetings.
Before convening this round of meetings, Su Yonglin also secretly recalled some of the main generals in the army and the main cadres of the Renaissance Association who had been sent out to work, and gathered the entire Renaissance Party Central Committee to fully discuss the matter.
In October last year, Su Yonglin reorganized the organizational structure of the Fuxing Association to make it more complete.
After the reorganization, the Renaissance Association had clear plans from the central to local levels.
The Central Committee of the Renaissance Association has four departments: the General Affairs Department, the Military Affairs Department, the Supervision Department and the Organization Department.
The Ministry of General Affairs is responsible for the organization and expansion of the Renaissance Society in the national administrative field.
The Ministry of Military Affairs is responsible for the political and ideological work in the military and pays close attention to the political and ideological education of the military.
The Supervision Department is responsible for supervising members of the Renaissance Association to prevent them from violating laws and regulations.
The Organization Department is responsible for the development, promotion, discipline and expulsion of revival members.
Su Yonglin himself served as Chairman of the Central Committee of the Renaissance and Director of the Military Affairs Department, controlling the overall situation of the Renaissance and military issues.
His important assistant Tian Guizi served as the Prime Minister of the Central Committee of the Renaissance and the director of the General Affairs Department, presiding over the daily work of the Central Committee of the Renaissance and the activities of Renaissance members in the national political field.
Another important assistant, Xin Qiji, served as deputy prime minister of the Central Committee of the Renaissance and deputy director of the Ministry of Military Affairs, responsible for assisting Su Yonglin and Tian Guizi in their work.
The director of the Supervision Department was handed over to the former secretariat secretary Kong Maojie, whom Su Yonglin admired very much. He kept an eye on some not-so-good trends within the Renaissance Association and corrected them in a timely manner.
The director of the Organization Department was handed over to Daxing Prefecture Yin Jiangyu, who did very well after being promoted by him. He promoted and arranged outstanding new members during his tenure as Daxing Prefecture Yin.
Among the four main departments, the Ministry of General Affairs and the Ministry of Military Affairs have the largest number of people.
The Ministry of General Affairs has a large number of members who are holding administrative positions.
At the current stage, the Renaissance Association is still not very powerful and is at a disadvantage in terms of administration. It is difficult for the administrative power to compete with the traditional old bureaucracy and the old gentry.
In contrast, the Central Military Affairs Department of the Renaissance Society also has a large number of members who are currently serving in the military. It is better to say that most of the main officers in the Liberation Army are members of the Renaissance, and many of the middle and lower-level officers are being inspected and accepted by the Renaissance Society. .
They have a strong presence in the army, and with the addition of instructors who are members of the Renaissance themselves, the Renaissance has increasingly strong control over the military, and is not at the same level as the national administrative agencies.
Su Yonglin apparently decided to retain the military institutions in the national system to command the army and issue orders.
However, because most of the military and political officials are members of the Renaissance, including Su Yonglin himself, even though the Military Affairs Department of the Renaissance has not been explicitly given the right to dominate the military, in fact, the Renaissance has been able to take the lead. The military took action.
Major generals such as Su Jue, Su Haisheng, Zhang Yuejing, and Wei Kexian were all members of the Fuxing Committee, and were assigned positions within the Fuxing Committee by Su Yonglin in the Ministry of Military Affairs, serving as deputy directors or members of departmental decision-making meetings.
A group of them can basically decide how the more than 400,000 Liberation Army will act next if they get together and hold a meeting. They can basically decide where to attack.
At present, although the Renaissance does not have the power to dominate the country's situation, it already has the power to overturn the table through its control of the army.
Of course, Su Yonglin would not let the Fuxing Association use this power unless it was absolutely necessary.
He did not want to establish a military government.
Through this method, the Renaissance Society, a recently established organization, has gained the power to gain a firm foothold in the national situation. It has a certain degree of influence in both military and political aspects, and its professionalism is not weaker than that of the real government.
Therefore, Su Yonglin wanted to take the lead in discussing various systems of the newly established country with them.
Including adjustments to central agencies and adjustments to local administrative divisions.
The revival members present nodded their heads and raised no objections.
Then, Su Yonglin announced at the meeting the reform measures such as the governor-general of government affairs in Shangshu Province, the independent establishment of judicial organs, and the establishment of Shangshu Province as a first-level administrative division, and handed it over to his subordinates for discussion.
Because Su Yonglin had fully communicated with Tian Guizi, Xin Qiji and many other subordinates when planning the New Deal, absorbed the advantages of the Song and Jin political systems and eliminated the shortcomings, so generally no one raised any objections.
That is to say, they put forward some opinions on the appointment and dismissal of officials.
Su Yonglin decided to appoint many former Jin officials to the imperial court and let them hold positions in the central and local governments. Many of these people had opposed the Liberation Army.
It's a bit difficult to accept emotionally.
In this regard, Su Yonglin comforted him.
"At the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, the appointment of officials from the previous dynasty was inevitable, and some positions with real power had to be assigned to them. Firstly, they were widely influential, united with each other, and had great influence. Secondly, they did have sufficient resources. Administrative experience.
I know that you all have a lot of dissatisfaction, but I hope that for the future, you can be patient, work hard, and accumulate enough experience. When we no longer need them, you can do whatever you want. "
Then Su Yonglin proposed a specific action plan to seize power and replace it. For example, Su Yonglin decided to start with the judicial organs that the traditional gentry power did not attach much importance to.
He planned to take out the Criminal Department among the six departments and set it up independently together with Yushitai and Dali Temple to form a complete three-division judicial system, independent of the Shangshu Province responsible for administration.
He is also preparing to carry out similar reforms not only at the central level but also at the local level.
"In the past, at the local level, especially within a county, the daily execution of Xing Prison depended on the county government and the head of the county. There was no need to set up separate Xing Prison departments and personnel. Only serious cases required the use of the Department of Punishment, Dali Temple is a professional department of this type.
Moreover, Confucian scholars advocated etiquette and the use of morality and education to restrain people's behavior, hoping to achieve the effect of law. Therefore, in the past, national laws were not paid much attention to, and our breakthrough point is here.
I will take out the judiciary and completely separate it from the Shangshu Province and the traditional administrative field, and set it up independently. Not only at the central level, but also at the local level, I will set up special judicial offices to take away the judicial power of local administrative heads.
The traditional gentry does not have an advantage in this area, and the talent pool is relatively insufficient. Therefore, I plan to set up a special judicial academy after this, and use this as an opening to introduce the power of the Fuxing Association into non-Fuxing counties, and exert a strong influence on the power of the gentry. Clamp down, fight against it. "
