Royal Road

Liang Feng has not studied history, and he has only the most superficial understanding of ancient politics and economy. After I came to this world, I had a headache for a while. It took a lot of effort just to re-understand the official system. Now it's hard to sit on the two states, and the first thing that comes to mind is to reform this complicated bureaucracy.

As for the method of innovation, it is very simple, something that can be passed down for thousands of years must have its irreplaceable particularity and advancement. Just like the imperial examination system and the three provinces and six ministries system.

The imperial examination system, Liang Feng has already thrown out the forefront, now it is natural to turn the three provinces and six departments into his own use. But this matter is much more complicated. Three of the provinces are temporarily unavailable. Because the embryonic form of the three provinces already existed in the Western Jin Dynasty. Shang Shusheng is in charge of six Cao Cao and handles the daily affairs of middle school. In order to avoid excessive powers of Shangshu Province, the Zhongshu Province was set up to issue government orders on the basis of confidentiality. Menxia Province, on the other hand, was the emperor's attendant and advisory organization. Although it was involved in politics, its status was not high.

The responsibilities of these three provinces are different from those of later generations, but after all, they are the backbone of the country, and they are easy to set up in states and counties. Only six can be borrowed and used.

This Western Jin Dynasty also had a similar function, that is, the six Cao who was saved by Shangshu. The current six Cao Cao were the officials, the Dianzhong and the Five Soldiers, Tian Cao, Duzhi, and Zuomin, but their powers and duties were extremely unclear. When they arrived, they added Gong Cao, Cang Cao, Zhong Bing, Xing Prison, Xi Cao, etc., as well as a bunch of officials such as Hu Cao, Jin Cao, Zu Cao, Bing Cao, Ji Cao, etc. There are so many varieties that it's just a headache to think about.

And to summarize these complicated political affairs, you can only rely on the master book and other assistant bureaucrats. Not to mention the efficiency, it is impossible to monitor the two states.

Therefore, the establishment of six departments is extremely necessary. However, Liang Feng didn't have much memory about this aspect, so he could only tell Duan Qin the title of the six parts, and let him go down and ponder it. I didn't expect the other party to come up with the draft so quickly.

Sitting in front of the case, opening the volume, the first thing I saw was the name of this new "six parts". Liang Feng picked up his eyebrows: "All of them are changed to'secretaries'?"

Duan Qin nodded: "After all, there are officials in the DPRK. If you copy it, you may be suspicious. You can be the master of the public and private."

I saw six names written on the volume: "Secretaries", "Shouhu", "Sibing", "Judicial", "Priest", and "Si Gong". Corresponding to the six functions, it can be described as concise and clear. Although the imperial court had eight males such as Sikong and Sima, these duties were absolutely unheard of.

Liang Feng nodded: "The Secretary can be the prefecture and county, and the Ministry can be the Taiwan Pavilion. This is a way."

Later generations also have this kind of framework, covering all ministries, offices, and offices from the central to the local level. Wait until the site is big, and then apply it, just upgrade and change the name.

Affirmed by Liang Feng, Duan Qin's heart was also loose, and he explained: "Each chief officer can be appointed to join the army, and there are two subordinates under each. , Qiangu, Cangling, etc.; the commander in charge of reviewing, military status, soldiers and horses, passing posts, etc.; judicial control, criminal law, etc.; priests in charge of the department, Xuxu, hospitals, etc.; director of civil engineering, water conservancy, workshops, etc. County affairs can be covered."

States and counties are not comparable to countries, and various affairs are relatively simple. The six divisions are to outline and control the leadership, and control the large and small organizations under it. Overhead or make use of the original numerous Cao Cao to make it able to operate normally, and is under the overall control of the Ci Shifu. With this alone, I don't know how much time is saved.

Listening to Duan Qin's explanation, Liang Feng looked at the details in the volume and said after a long time: "Where is the farm?"

The position of Tuntian was not written in the six divisions. Seeing that the lord had discovered this flaw, Duan Qin explained: “Tuntian involves too much land. From the perspective of population and land, the angelica is the household; from the perspective of the army and the grain, the angelica is the soldier; but from the perspective of reclamation of water conservancy, it should be returned. Secretary. It is really difficult to allocate, so it can only be decided by the lord."

Tuntian is a major new policy in the state. Duan Qin can no longer decide which department to assign to.

Liang Feng pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Return to the soldiers, let the Secretary for Industry and Commerce lead them."

Now it is merged with the state and farmed fields, and it is the army of the Tang Dynasty to follow suit. Its military significance is far greater than civil affairs. Moreover, he already has a case for the chief officer of the army, so he only needs to send someone from the army officer to assist him.

Duan Qin understood the deep meaning as soon as he heard it: "The lower official knows."

After reviewing the document twice, Liang Feng finally nodded: "I think this method is feasible. Tomorrow everyone will be invited to discuss and check the gaps. After the decision is finalized, it will be implemented in the mansion."

After talking about this, he added: "By the way, the business tax issue should also be rebooked. After the merger and Ji two prefectures are restored to stability, the business road will be smooth. If the Jizhou coast can open up a route to Jiangdong , It’s even more profitable. Don’t be negligent."

Jizhou is Hebei for later generations. Although Bohai Bay has not yet been developed, Liang Feng knows the convenience of Tianjin Port very well. There are now wars everywhere in the North, and commercial roads on land are severed. If a sea road can be developed from the Bohai Bay to the south, the profit during the period is simply immeasurable. The ceramics, colored glaze and other objects produced by Liang Mansion now require a wealthy buyer. Isn’t it the best choice for those who fled to the south?

Once the commercial route is unblocked, the benefits of commercial taxation are extremely considerable. There are also seaside salt fields that can be considered for construction, which is also an indispensable huge benefit. Moreover, the strategic significance of being able to fundamentally get rid of the Xiongnu's containment of the salt pond cannot be underestimated.

Hearing this, Duan Qin's spirit was shocked: "The lord is well thought out, and it is too late to go to office! But in this way, banditry along the way has become a top priority."

"Bandits?" Liang Feng asked in a rhetorical question, "I don't know how many times there are bandits in the prefecture every year, so why are there still bandits?"

Duan Qin smiled bitterly: "I said it was a bandit, but it was actually a private soldier. Wasn't Shi Chong robbing wealthy merchants and saving ten thousand dollars of wealth when he was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou? It was like this during the Taikang period, let alone now."

The family of soldiers and bandits was an unavoidable problem in the Western Jin Dynasty. Don't talk about Shi Chong, when Lu Ji took office, he had encountered bandits, and there were good stories to persuade the robbers. But Dai Yuan who robbed him was the son of the prefect of Kuaiji. Had it not been for Lu Ji's name, I still don't know what the result would be.

It's not that there were no laws in the Western Jin Dynasty, but all criminal laws were aimed at ordinary people. The so-called punishment is not a literati. The eight-discussing system stipulates that for the eight types of people: pro-, old-fashioned, virtuous, capable, meritorious, noble, diligent, and guest, serious sins must be discussed, minor sins must be forgiven, and they can enjoy special treatment. It also fundamentally encompasses all aristocratic families, making them a group of people outside the law.

Coupled with the rule that officials should pay off their crimes and punish them, make the family lawless. This was the case when Emperor Wu was still alive, not to mention the troubled times now.

Liang Feng's expression sank: "Bingzhou and the poor, commercial tax is a big income, how can they be allowed to plunder? The law is issued, and all those who rob and kill caravan travelers will be regarded as thieves and will be killed without mercy. If there are noble families to participate, they will be removed for the officials, and they will be paid twice by plundering the property!"

Duan Qin hesitated for a moment: "But eight discussions..."

The corner of Liang Feng's lips raised: "Who is the one who can do business now? It's nothing more than a family. If one party is injured, one side will gain. If the few people who are unruly and raise private soldiers are restricted, the gains will be even greater. Many families. And I never wanted their lives. I just went to officials to punish them."

At the beginning of the state, the significance of an official representative is much heavier than the weight of grabbing a batch of property. And this fine copper is not a fine for confiscation, but a double compensation for the loss of the suffering owner. If you fail, doesn't the gain outweigh the loss?

Looking at Junya's but solemn face in front of him, Duan Qin's last bit of hesitation was blown away from the clouds. The lord has not changed. The addition of officials to the title, the huge increase in the site, and even the success of the sages, did not make him feel arrogant and slack. On the contrary, his thoughts and considerations became more and more thorough, and he tended to draw inferences from one another, which was a bit more profound than those of his ministers. How can such a person do ridiculous things? Coming late today must have been delayed. I really worry too much.

Putting aside his worries, Duan Qin seriously said, "I'm going to do it now."

"Young scholar, those private soldiers, can you still go out?" Zu Ti walked quickly into the courtyard and asked Zu Yue, his brother who was drinking.

Zu Yue was taken aback and stood up: "Brother, why is it so hurried? I haven't sent soldiers out recently."

Hearing him say this, Zu Ti breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. The Governor has an order that looting is strictly prohibited, and offenders will be killed without pardon."

This time Zu Yue was completely shocked: "He didn't even care about eight discussions?!"

"If it's a mountain bandit, naturally kill it. If it's an aristocratic family, you will be dismissed from office, and you will have to repay the robbed merchants in multiples." Zu Ti sighed softly, "It seems that the king is really angry. On this matter , Very serious."

Hearing what Brother said, Zu Yue couldn't help frowning: "But in this way, wouldn't it be a way to make money? There are so many businessmen in the state, and they should be robbed twice..."

"Don't make your own claim!" Zu Ti sternly shouted, "Bingzhou's largest merchant is the prince himself. Liang Mansion is famous for its white porcelain and colored glaze. There are also horse-drawn carts, agricultural tools, drinks and so on. How can it not be a huge profit? Recklessly, saying that you must not be regarded as an early bird, you and I are the first to join the state, do not be reckless!"

Zu Yue and Zu Ti are from the same mother, and they are very close. Hearing what his brother said, he could only admit his mistakes obediently: "Brother said that the younger brother must stand by himself and not cause trouble for brother."

Zuti breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his brother's assurance. Only after a month or so, the pattern of Binzhou has once again undergone tremendous changes. The governor's office set up six divisions to command the prefectures and counties in order to make the emperor's staff. The position sounds weird, but the intention is extremely obvious. It is precisely to integrate the merged and Hebei states into one. Among them, most of those who served in the army were the confidants of the emperor, and only his ancestor, ancestor Taizhi, served as the chief engineer in the army.

Workers are in charge of civil engineering, water conservancy, and workshops, and the money and food they pass is not a small amount. To make you trust the ancestor Taizhi, naturally you also trust him as a general manager. If my brother gets into trouble because of the looting, wouldn't it be a shame? And the way to make money is more than looting.

"With this order, I am afraid that the Merchant Road will be reopened. If the time is right, doing business is also a big investment." Zu Ti thought for a moment, and said to his younger brother, "Go and find something smart, bold and careful. Merchants, invest in the door. If you can seize this opportunity, you will be able to make money."

The governor's government is still discussing the business tax matter, and it is estimated that there will be a conclusion soon. However, if the king himself is in business, the tax rate will not be very high, and maybe the caravan of the family will be reduced or exempted. The smartest way is to take advantage of the east wind. What is good at the top will be great at the bottom. Follow the envoy's thoughts, and you can't go wrong.

At this moment, Zu Ti felt more and more that he was not in vain. In the troubled times, how many people fight their lives for the turf. But how do you manage when you get the site? Few people thought about it. There are countless abuses and rampages, even forcing the people to leave their homes. If the prince generally hits bigger and bigger, he hits stronger, it's really an anomaly.

And what if more land falls into the hands of the envoy? The world will change too!

Did the people from Wei Wu also see such a prospect?

Zu Ti booed out of his chest. Compared to his old friend Liu Kun, his step is the right way!

The author has something to say: (Book of Jin) He is overthrown by the society and always has the ambition to revive. The guests and the righteous are all outstanding warriors, and they are like children. When the land is hungry, most of this generation is theft, attacking the wealthy room, and soothing and asking: "Isn't it out of Nantang?"

(New Words from the World) When the ancestors rode across the river, public and private were frugal and had no good clothes. Wang and Yu were publicly appointed to their ancestors. Suddenly they saw the overlapping of robes, and the precious decorations. The ancestors asked strangely, and the ancestor said: "Last night when Nantang came out." Zu Yu Shiheng made himself a few drums to rob money, and those who were involved were not allowed to ask.
