After the candidate for Privy Councilor was decided, the candidate for Deputy Privy Councilor Su Yonglin was also announced.
Ridiculing Mi Yuan.
It is said that Mi Yuan's family has some connection with Mi Xin, a general in the early Northern Song Dynasty. They both have the same surname and may be somewhat related.
Mi Yuan was the first leader of the Xi people to march and fight with Su Yonglin. He was the commander of the first Xi people independent battalion under Su Yonglin. He was also one of the few commanders of the independent battalion who did not leave Su Yonglin to escape during the bloody battle of Zhending.
There were quite a few battalion commanders who fled at the beginning. They all fled when they saw that Su Yonglin could not withstand Wanyan A-lin's attack. Later, a few shamelessly tried to return to Su Yonglin's arms, but were driven away by Su Yonglin. .
Mi Yuan did not leave, and although he did not dare to follow Su Yonglin in a fight to the death, he persisted until the end, which was considered courageous and knowledgeable.
His military talent was just that, and certainly not comparable to his ancestor Mi Xin, but Su Yonglin admired him for being able to persist until the end.
Therefore, Su Yonglin decided to promote Mi Yuan to the post of Deputy Privy Envoy.
As a result, the five main positions of the General Staff Council and the Privy Council were confirmed.
Su Yonglin named them one after another and appointed them one after another. Five people were appointed in advance by Su Yonglin.
The division of central power has basically been completed, and the political structure of the central government has been basically determined, but the task of allocating official positions is far from over.
The provincial system has just been established. How many provinces the country is divided into and who is the chief official of each province must be determined.
Su Yonglin's meaning is very simple, that is, whatever is appropriate.
He unfolded the large map of the area currently occupied by the Liberation Army and pointed it out bit by bit for everyone to see.
"The first is Liaodong. Liaodong is a vast land with few people, but the territory is huge and involves many areas. If a separate province is set up, it may not be able to manage it, so I decided to divide Liaodong into two and set up two provinces to manage it.
It is bounded by the Songwa River, with Liaoyang Province in the west, and Liaoyang Prefecture as its administrative seat, including the original Linhuangfu Road, Dongjing Road and Xianping Road. Heilongjiang Province is located in the east of the Songwa River, with Huining Prefecture as its administrative seat. It includes the original Jinguo Ningfu, Puyu Road, Huli Gai Road, Supin Road, and Helan Road. "
Su Yonglin pointed to the land of Liaodong and announced his decision. No one had any objections.
Anyway, Liaodong was Su Yonglin's private land and the back garden was taken back from the Jurchens by Su Yonglin using pure force. Su Yonglin's handling of Liaodong was not within the scope of their intervention, so it was useless for them to have any objections.
Admit it directly without any interference in exchange for Su Yonglin's favor.
Next is the northwest.
Su Yonglin decided to divide the Xijing Road area of the original Jin Kingdom into a separate province, with Datong Prefecture as the core to establish Datong Province.
Next came the Shandong region. Su Yonglin decided to combine Shandong East Road, Shandong East Road and Damingfu Road into one, with Jinan Prefecture as the administrative seat and Shandong Province established.
Then in the Nanjing Road area of the original Jin Kingdom, Su Yonglin decided to use Kaifeng Prefecture as his administrative seat and establish Henan Province.
In addition, the original Hebei Road and Hedong South Road were combined into one. Su Yonglin decided to use Taiyuan Prefecture as the administrative seat and establish Hedong Province.
Then the original Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road were combined into one, with Hejian Prefecture as the administrative seat, and Hebei Province was established.
The Guanzhong area was left, and Su Yonglin decided to use Jingzhao Prefecture as the administrative seat of the Guanzhong area and establish the Guanzhong Province.
Finally, Su Yonglin set the original Zhongdu Road and Beijing Road that were not divided into areas directly under the Central Government, referred to as Central Direct Government.
In this way, all the territory currently controlled by the Liberation Army was divided by Su Yonglin into Liaoyang Province, Heilongjiang Province, Datong Province, Hedong Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Shandong Province, Guanzhong Province and Central Direct Government. Nine administrative districts.
Each administrative region will establish an "Xing Shangshu Province" according to the scale of the Central Shangshu Province to govern the local area.
The administrative level of the Xing Shangshu Province is one level lower than that of the Central Shangshu Province. Therefore, the chief official of the Central Shangshu Province is Cong Yipin Pingzhang, and the chief official of the Xing Shangshu Province is Cong Zhizhi Zhizhi of the second rank.
The Shangshu Province is responsible for the full governance of local government affairs and takes the lead in administrative affairs.
Generally speaking, the ministers had no objections to this administrative division.
On the contrary, Huo Jianbai proposed that if such a large administrative division is handed over to one agency for management, will it lead to the weakening of central power and the hidden danger of strengthening local power?
Regarding this concern, Su Yonglin praised Huo Jianbai.
"What Mr. Huo said is by no means alarmist, so this plan is just a preliminary plan. In the future, with the increase in population, the number of provinces may increase. For now, this is the case. Moreover, I will also set up judicial officers in the provinces. Official office."
Su Yonglin smiled slightly, and continued Huo Jianbai's words, announcing that in addition to the administrative agencies of the Shangshu Province, a province would also have a General Administration of Justice in charge of judicial affairs in accordance with the new rules.
The General Administration of Justice is a subordinate department of the Third Department of Justice of the Central Government, and its specific establishment belongs to the Ministry of Law, which is equivalent to the local branch of the Ministry of Law.
Each province must establish a General Administration of Justice. The General Administration of Justice shall have a judicial minister and two judicial chiefs. The judicial minister is the third-rank position, and the judicial chief is the third-rank position.
Although the rank of the third-rank minister of the General Administration of Justice is slightly lower than that of the minister of political affairs in the Shangshu Province, there is no direct subordinate relationship between the two.
The entire judicial system operates separately from the administrative system. The direct superiors of both parties are the emperor. Although the Ministry of Personnel is also responsible for official promotions in the administrative system, the Ministry of Personnel in the new dynasty is directly responsible to the emperor and does not belong to the Shangshu Province system.
Therefore, official promotion within the judicial system does not involve the intervention of the administrative system, which prevents strange reactions between the judicial system and the administrative system to the greatest extent.
Under such circumstances, there is no dirty deal between the judiciary and the executive due to their high or low grades - at least not in terms of system design.
Su Yonglin did not foresee what would happen during actual operation.
It's just that it's difficult to intervene when this kind of thing doesn't happen. We can only talk about human affairs.
Below the provinces are the states and prefectures, and in each state capital, in addition to the administrative offices, there are also state and prefecture judicial bureaus. The heads of the state and prefecture judicial bureaus are also in charge of judicial affairs in each state and prefecture.
According to regulations, counties under the state capital must also set up judicial branches. The responsibilities of the judges in the judicial branches are the same, and they are also responsible for judicial affairs within a county.
The chief executive must not interfere with the judicial system's affairs. At the same time, when the judicial system is handling its affairs, the chief executive must avoid relevant personnel and matters.
If a judicial case involves the chief executive, the chief executive needs to be questioned by the judicial system at the same level, and temporarily suspends official duties, with the authority temporarily taken over by his deputy.
This announcement surprised the officials. Many people looked at Huo Jianbai strangely. Huo Jianbai swallowed and did not raise his head in embarrassment, pretending to look at the map.
On the other hand, in military matters, neither the local chief executive nor the justice chief has the power to intervene.
Military issues are also handled by the Privy Council and the General Staff Council, which are parallel to the administrative system and judicial system. Even military expenditures are allocated separately, and there is no possibility of overlap.
However, the military can temporarily be responsible for public security tasks during wartime. However, the main responsibilities of the military are national defense and battlefield warfare, and cannot be used just to maintain public security.
Therefore, Su Yonglin decided to set up a separate public security system outside the military system, responsible for coordinating the national security forces outside the military and responsible for public security.
This setting will replace the original position of the Ministry of War among the six parts.
However, when the country was founded, there was a severe shortage of manpower and Su Yonglin did not have enough energy, so this idea was still an idea for the time being, and local security still relied on the local garrison for the time being.
If there is no garrison in the local area, then the administrative government itself will recruit officials and other entities to be responsible for temporary security.
After the country's governance is on the right track and Su Yonglin has sorted out all the problems, he will be free to establish the national security system and standardize and clarify the local security system.
As for the establishment of institutions and officials in each province, due to the shortage of manpower in the early days of the new dynasty, they will not be set up for the time being and will be arranged slowly after the founding of the country.
At present, the country's territory is so large and its population is so large. The central government can still afford to directly control the affairs of each state.
When the entire administrative organization is put into operation in the future, outstanding officials with outstanding achievements will stand out, and the number of suitable candidates will gradually increase. Su Yonglin will set up specific provincial structures one by one and build up first-level administrative divisions.
After all, Rome was not built in a day. When the Mongol Yuan Dynasty implemented the provincial system, it was done province by province. If the stalls were to be so large at once, problems would arise.
Su Yonglin is not in a hurry about this.
