The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 597
The state capital of Tan County.

Lin Chao, who had been paddling and fishing at home, made an exception today and came to the state capital, and immediately gathered everyone to start a meeting.

It's not that Lin Changshi is so quiet that he suddenly has the consciousness of 996, but that he really can't stay at home anymore.

Since Xun Cai came back from a fight with Cai Yan, Xun Cai didn't talk to Lin Chao very much, so that every time they met, he had a cold face, as if Lin Chao owed her a lot of money.

Well, although it is indeed my fault for asking you to deliver books to Cai Yan, you are going too far!
After Lin Changshi comforted him with kind words several times, Xun Cai remained the same.

Helpless, Lin Chao had no choice but to wait for Xun Cai's anger to subside, and simply stopped lingering in front of her, and came to the state government to handle government affairs.

The work of appeasement after the war is a time-consuming project and cannot be completed overnight, so the main content of today's meeting is to confirm the addition of members of the inner government that I mentioned to Xun Yu before.

Now that there is no war ahead, except for the judges who are still far away in Jizhou and have not returned, all the civil servants in Xuzhou can be said to be here.

Even Xun You, who was taking a bath these two days, was called back by Lin Chao to work overtime.

It is worth mentioning that after Yuan Shao's defeat, Qu Yi, the guard of Yecheng, finally chose to surrender, and Shen Pei and Gao Shun represented Liu Bei to surrender.It's just that Lin Chao didn't order them to be teachers immediately, but let the judges stay in Heishan to appease the people of Yecheng, and at the same time, they also allocated grain in Yecheng to help the people of Heishan under Zhang Yan's command, and by the way fulfilled the promise of land given by Lin Chao .

Before the war, the people of Montenegro also contributed a lot. Now that Yuan Shao's lair is taken away in one fell swoop, the food and grass inside are enough to make the people of Montenegro survive this year.

Seeing Lin Chaoken coming out to work, the civil servants were naturally very happy. After all, it was rare to see Lin Zichu take half a step into the government affairs state capital. The sun came out from the west today.

After learning about the current situation of Xuzhou's money, food and government affairs, Lin Chao began the real topic of today.

The previous sketch had already been given to Xun Yu, so Lin Chao drew another one and hung it on the bluestone board in the Government Affairs Hall for everyone to see clearly.

Of course, they couldn't help laughing at Lin Chao's handwriting.

For a time the air was filled with joy.

Lin Changshi has long been used to this, and he doesn't even bother to refute.

"The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rituals." Lin Chao tapped on the blackboard to draw emphatically, "These five departments will be the main departments that will be in charge of government affairs in the future. So someone thought that the inner government will increase manpower, and at the same time Five ministers should also be set up. If you have suitable candidates, please recommend them."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but in the end they didn't speak.

According to Lin Chao's words just now, they understand that the Inner Palace has become an important institution like the Shangshutai.Although the division of labor in the five Shangshu is different, they all hold high positions.

Many people here think that they have no qualifications to take responsibility, but it is not easy to speak freely on such an important matter.

And those who have qualifications can't shamelessly recommend themselves, so they are a little cold for a while.

In the end, it was Xun Yu, who knew the plan in advance, who stood up and spoke: "Zichu, I thought that among the five departments, the Ministry of Officials advocates promotion and punishment of officials, but it is the most important department. How about starting with the Ministry of Officials? "

"Of course." Lin Chao nodded and said, "Would Wen Ruo have a suitable candidate?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone turned their attention to Xun Yu again.

After all, in terms of qualifications and ability, Xun Yu is the most suitable person in any way, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of recommending himself.

Sure enough, Xun Yu said, "Someone thought that Cui Jigui could take on this important task."

Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised, and Cui Yan was even more shocked.

Although Cui Yan is very capable, he is not outstanding among this group of people, and he is not considered a veteran in terms of seniority. It is a bit too much to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Lin Chao thought for a while, and then said, "Brother Ji Gui can do it...is there anyone else?"

This answer meant that Lin Chao was not satisfied with the candidate recommended by Xun Yu.

Xun Yu had no choice but to speak again: "Aside from that, I thought You Ruo could also take on this important position."

Well, that's about it.

Xun Chen was originally a Zhongzheng official, but now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but it is justified.

Lin Chao nodded and smiled at everyone, "What do you guys think?"

Everyone clasped their hands together and said, "I'll wait for the second!"

"Okay." Lin Chao announced, "From now on, if Xun You is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the seal and ribbon will be made later."

Xun Chen quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Obey!"

Lin Chao continued: "Next is the Ministry of Household Affairs, do you have a suitable candidate?"

After going through the previous process, everyone almost understood what Lin Chao meant.

Cui Yan was the first to stand up and said, "Someone recommends Tian Yuanhao as Minister of the Household Department!"

The household department is in charge of money, food, land, and population. It can be said that it is the hardest department. Tian Feng, a workaholic, can just be promoted.

Lin Chao went through the process again, asking everyone for their opinions, and naturally got everyone's approval.

Therefore, Tian Feng became the Minister of the Household Department as a matter of course.

Next is the Ministry of Punishment. This time, everyone unanimously recommended Cui Yan as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, but was still rejected by Lin Chao.

This time, Cui Yan's expression became a little ugly.

Lin Chao scanned around, and finally said: "From now on, I will be promoted to Duke Ju and enter the Inner Palace, and become Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

It was very late when Ju Shou surrendered, but he had made many meritorious deeds in this battle, and now he was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and no one had any objection to it.

It's just...everyone can't figure out why Lin Chao would abandon Cui Yan.

Lin Chao naturally understood their thoughts, but it was not time to explain them yet.

Next is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which is relatively unimportant.It's just that in a horizontal comparison, the position of Shangshu is very expensive, so we can only find some people who have sufficient qualifications but not outstanding abilities.

After being unanimously recommended by everyone, Jian Yong was finally appointed.

He has followed Liu Bei more often than Lin Chao. Although his ability is not very outstanding, he still has to be given the position of Shangshu.

As for the final Ministry of Rites, it is considered a relatively noble department. Its nature is similar to that of the Ministry of Industry, but there are fewer daily tasks.Lin Chaosi thought about it, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being, so Xun Yu took over the position temporarily.

After the election of Shangshu, the Lin Dynasty promoted Xun Yu to be the order of the inner government, so as to lead the five departments of the inner government and preside over the overall situation.

It wasn't until the end, when everyone thought the meeting was about to adjourn, that Lin Chao smiled and said, "From today onwards, a new yamen will be established, named: Metropolitan Procuratorate, with Cui Jigui as the supervisory censor. The procuratorate is independent from the inner government and is not under the jurisdiction of the inner government, so if you hear something about it, you can directly report it to Duke Xuande!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the faces of everyone present changed drastically on the spot.

Lin Chao once said that the government came out of the inner government, directly turning the inner government into a government agency in Xuzhou, and even Cui Yan, who was in charge of monitoring morality, became a member of the inner government.

But today, Lin Chao singled him out again, directly separated from the control of the inner government, and became a new department.

The most frightening thing is that the Lin Dynasty also gave him the power to act on rumors and face the monarch directly.

If it is said that the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of punishment, it is used to restrain the officials and the people.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is an institution that focuses on officials.Especially when this department has the right to face the monarch directly, the scope of its supervision has already included the inner government and even the Lin Dynasty.

In a word, all Xuzhou officials, without exception, must accept the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This right is not unreasonable, and it is reasonable for everyone to be shocked.

And the so-called rumors and rumors are even more incomprehensible powers.Because it does not need to go through field investigations, as long as you hear rumors, you can play it.

As for the authenticity of the matter, the higher-ups will send people to investigate.

The reason why the Metropolitan Procuratorate was given such a large authority was because of the rapid expansion of the territory. Lin Chao believed that corruption of officials would arise, so the supervision would naturally be relatively strict.

Of course, with such a powerful department, Lin Chao will not allow one person to dominate.

Therefore, in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in addition to the supervisory censor headed by Cui Yan, there are also two deputies, Zuodu censor and Youdu censor.

The Zuodu Yushi is responsible for assisting the supervisory censor to clean up the discipline, and is also responsible for supervising the supervisory censor so as not to bend the law for personal gain.The right capital censor is in charge of the internal affairs.

The inspector censor supervises the officials of the world, and the right capital censor supervises the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

As for the candidate for Zuodu Censor, Lin Chao intends to let Cui Jun be the candidate.

As for the Yushi of Youdu, it was reserved for Zang Hong who had not yet come to Tan County.

Although Cui Yan's attitude towards Lin Chao abandoning him was a bit strange, but he never expected that Lin Chao left such a heavy responsibility to himself, and the first moment he heard the news, he was stunned on the spot.

Seeing this, Lin Chao smiled and said, "Brother, don't you want to be the inspector censor?"

"Forehead……"

Only then did Cui Yan come to his senses, and hurried out of the shift, cupping his hands and saying, "Obey!"

Lin Chao smiled, then waved his hand.

The meeting adjourned.
