There were many things before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
It is not just a matter of national policy.
There are also adjustments to the military system.
And the central government system and so on.
During this period of time, Xiao Yuan first notified all counties in Lingdi that they must complete the household registration of land and acres before the end of this year, and then he has been busy with the founding of the country.
Morning morning on this day.
The Chang'an Imperial Palace is not comparable to the Qin Palace. The area alone is at least several times larger.
The palaces are located everywhere, showing their grandeur and atmosphere.
The hundred steps outside the Chaoyi Hall are also several times wider.
Forbidden troops stood guard on both sides, and officials, both civil and military, began to ascend the steps and enter the palace.
"My King Ten Thousand Years——"
"Everyone is safe."
After the salute, all the ministers stood up separately.
Xiao Yuan sat on the throne directly above and said straight to the point: "As for the issue of the country's official system, after discussions with all the ministers, a decision has been made a few days ago. I will talk about it today."
In the past, official positions in various countries were completely inconsistent. Some were determined by title, or even hereditary. Some were not divided into grades, and some were divided into upper, upper, middle, upper middle, and lower middle. It was a mess.
Although the official system of the Qin State is clear, it has not yet been truly perfected in terms of grades.
Now that the mountains and rivers are unified, this naturally needs to be solved.
A few days ago, this matter was the subject of a court meeting. The ministers debated fiercely and each expressed their own opinions. Xiao Yuan comprehensively considered all aspects and finally determined a complete system, which was designated as nine grades and eighteen grades.
After looking around for a week, Xiao Yuan said: "Take counties as an example."
"The county magistrate is the seventh grade."
"The county magistrate and county lieutenant are of the eighth rank, and in special circumstances they are of the seventh rank."
"The County Lord Bo and Supervisor are the eighth grade subordinates."
"Inspection and history are the ninth grade."
"Civil officials, tax officials, warehouse officials and other subordinate officials are of the ninth rank."
Although the rank of the county magistrate is not high, he is the parent of the place and is in charge of all administrative powers in the area under his jurisdiction. A good county magistrate will make the place prosperous, so he is highly valued by the court.
Of course, there are more than just these people in a county government. There are many other miscellaneous subordinates, such as Yi Cheng, jailers, etc. Although this is a formal establishment, it cannot be called an official. The rank represents the official.
Xiao Yuan continued:
"As for the county guards, except for important areas such as Qinzhou, all other places are of the fourth grade."
The former Qin County Governor was a third-rank officer. Of course, this was not a demotion, but an adjustment after the official system was improved, and the rights were still the same.
"The county lieutenants and county magistrates are of the fifth rank, and in special circumstances they are the fourth rank."
"The princess Bo and the supervisory censor are the sixth grade."
"The records recorded in the county-level Zhongshu are the seventh grade."
"The history of county records and inspections are from the seventh rank."
"Wen, Jing, Ke, Cang, etc. belong to the officials, and they are the eighth rank."
The official system of this county is extremely complete, and there are also some changes in the central official system.
The prime minister and the imperial censor are still of the highest rank.
The excessive power of the Shangshu Ling was abolished and replaced with the power of supervision, and no longer had the power to interfere with the four ministries.
The four ministers, including the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Husbandry, are the second grade.
The bachelor of Zhangtai Pavilion is the second grade.
Participating in political affairs is the third level.
Admonishment to the officials, Zhisu Neishi, Tingwei, Weiwei, Shaofu Ling, Lang Zhongling, Fengchang, Taibu, Zongzheng, etc. are the third grade.
The Prime Minister Chang Shi, the Minister of Industry, the Censor Zhongcheng, etc. are also of the third rank.
Zhongshu Lingshi, Neiyoushi, Shenyou, etc. are the fourth grade.
There are also other miscellaneous tasks such as serving in the middle school, inspecting schools, and serving as governors, etc., all of which are graded.
As for the military attache, after consultation with all ministers, no complete resolution has been reached.
However, Xiao Yuan has already given a rough framework.
That is, the level of generals with special titles is usually the first rank, the first rank, or the second rank.
For example, Marquis Wuxing, General, etc.
Below is the general of the Four Expeditions.
Then there are eight generals.
Then there are Zhenbei, Zhennan and so on.
As for the rank of captain, it is equal to that of a sixth-grade military attaché.
Of course, there are other military attaches among them, not just in the military.
There are also some other official positions, such as schools, colleges, etc., which are national educational institutions. The local chief officer is equivalent to the director of education, and of course he has a rank.
This morning's court meeting all discussed the issue of adjusting the official system. None of the ministers had any opinions on this. This decree was equivalent to being promulgated.
After the court meeting, Xiao Yuan returned to the study, as busy as ever.
When the ministers came out of the palace, they were all discussing the official system in small groups.
An official who was traveling with Jiang Yi couldn't help but said with joy: "I have long felt that the position of Shangshu Ling is too powerful. I have made many suggestions, but now it has finally been axed. It is no different from the empty position. The propaganda line is gone. "
"I don't think so." Jiang Yi said: "Where is Yao Tingyu's reputation and status? Besides, after the founding of the country, all official positions may have changed. The current Shangshu order does not represent the future Shangshu order. It’s too early to say now.”
After hearing this, the official nodded thoughtfully.
On Yao Tingyu's side, there were also officials accompanying him, and they even said with some worry: "Now the official system is quite unfavorable to Mr. Yao, but there are no constraints on the power of the prime minister."
Yao Tingyu didn't take it seriously at all. This was true in his heart and even more so on his face. He smiled and said: "What is the position of the Four Ministers? It is related to the entire country. He is in charge of the four departments. How is it possible? Isn't it normal for this change of the Minister's order? , what’s negotiable.”
This is an obvious question.
Yao Tingyu is highly respected and has served as prime minister for many years. It can be said that if Liu Yuzhi resigns, Qin will be his leader.
His mind and eyes were different from those of the officials around him.
"But Mr. Yao." The official was still hesitant to speak.
Yao Tingyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "You guys, what are you talking about in private about Xuan Clan and Qin Clan? Do you think the King doesn't know about it? You just don't want to ask about it."
"It's normal for dynasties to have some factions, but remember, never form cliques or cliques. This is a taboo for kings. If this happens, no one can protect you."
"This, how is this possible? I am so loyal, how dare I do this? Mr. Yao has wrongfully accused me." The official was startled.
"Of course I know you haven't, it's just a reminder." Yao Tingyu said.
On the other side, the palace study.
The plaque above the palace door reads: Government with virtue.
In the study, Xiao Yuan called Xu Hu in and asked casually while reviewing the memorial: "Xu Hu, have you had a fight with Xie Hongling recently?"
The reason why he asked this was because Xie Hongling often went to Lu Yunyan's place recently.
When he thought about it, he probably complained.
Xu Hu scratched his head and wondered: "No, she is at home with her children. Oh, by the way, she also said that she wanted to submit a memorial to the king and did not want to go to the army."
"Memorial?" Xiao Yuan was stunned, stopped writing and looked up at him.
Xu Hu chuckled and said, "Yes, she said that she wants to take care of her husband and raise her children, so I can be the outsider and she will take charge of the house."
"Tsk, tsk, so loving." Xiao Yuan was showered with dog food inexplicably. (End of chapter)
