Chapter 299 Separation of Powers
The ice and snow gradually receded in Chen Sheng's journey from south to north, the river thawed and the earth recovered.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the New Year's Day of the Han Dynasty ended. Chen Sheng summoned the ministers in the Han Dynasty's palace, announced the government structure of the Han Dynasty's separation of military, political and administrative powers, and officially appointed Han Fei as the right minister of the Han Dynasty and appointed Li Si. For the left, the two set out to build the administrative and judicial systems of the counties.

Taking towns with a permanent population of more than 5000 people as the line, he divided the four administrative levels of town, county, county, and center from bottom to top. Each administrative unit will have three chief officials of administration, military, and justice. Chief officials all have independent promotion routes, and their ownership is directly under the jurisdiction of the higher-level organization. They cooperate with each other and have no jurisdiction.

Locally, the three chiefs are headed by the chief administrative officer.

In the center, Han Fei, who is on the right, is higher than Li Si, who is the left.

As for military power, Chen Sheng didn't mention it, and no one dared to ask...

The reason why the town should be used as the dividing line is because in Chen Sheng's design, the four administrative levels above the town are all government agencies with complete functions as a yamen.

Under the town, Chen Sheng wanted to implement the Baojia system, that is, according to the method of formation of soldiers and soldiers in the army, the people living in the countryside were organized into five families as one group, ten families as one group, and one hundred families as li. , Ten miles for the township.

However, as the most basic administrative unit of the Han Dynasty, the township and li only have limited household registration management rights, no military establishment, and no law enforcement power... That is to say, even if the people in a certain township violate the laws of the Baojia system According to the law, the mayor of the locality could only ask the law enforcement agency in the town to punish the commoner. He could not lynch himself without permission, and the Han court did not give him the power to directly punish the commoner.

This is important...

To be precise, the Baojia system is the top priority of Chen Sheng's work in establishing the political structure of the Han court!

Because before this, the Zhou Dynasty implemented the patriarchal system in the countryside.

The so-called patriarchal system means that the Zhou Dynasty recognized the legitimacy of clan law and lynching, and used the clan as the unit of the common people in the countryside.

obviously.

The patriarchal system runs counter to the guiding ideology of the Han Dynasty that "the princes and princes will act peacefully", and Chen Sheng's governance philosophy of "governing the country according to law".

As long as the patriarchal system is still entrenched in the countryside under the rule of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the trend of thought that "the princes and generals have a seed" will not spread to the countryside, and the laws that Chen Sheng painstakingly perfected will also Become a worthless fart!
What kind of prince will Xiangning?

You just finished waving your fists and shouting in the crowd with your front feet, and then you were caught by the patriarch in the ancestral hall on your back foot, kneeling down to admit your mistake, and if you dare not kneel, you will be beaten to death... Even the patriarch can decide life and death in one word. Are there any species?

rule by law?

The front foot was acquitted by the yamen, and he walked lightly and prepared to go home and take a bath in the brazier to get rid of the bad luck. As a result, before entering the house, he was caught by a group of five big and three rough clansmen and sunk in the pond... Such a law , what is not a fart?
The patriarchal system has existed in Kyushu for thousands of years, and it may be traced back to the years of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. It is by no means "stubborn".

If I really want to describe it, maybe this system can be linked to the national fortune. That is to say, even when the Great Zhou Dynasty is at its peak, if you dare to use a knife against this system, you can't say that it will lead to chaos in the world!
When Chen Sheng decided to replace the patriarchal system with the Baojia system, he was already mentally prepared for the site he had just settled down to be smashed again.

He is not afraid!
Anyway, the site itself is riddled with holes.

Great, smash him and rebuild...

Of course, if he didn't have that diamond, he would definitely not stop this technical work!
But don't forget!

Ji-Yan and Yanzhou have suffered from severe droughts year after year, and food has never been harvested!

Most of the people under Chen Sheng's rule had to point to him to survive!
Make him the opposite?

Did he make his rebels by eating soil?
He is dignified... the leader of the rebel army, how can he be turned over by the people under him?
……

Chen Sheng sat in the center of town and suppressed the stormy waves set off by this court meeting into a spring breeze and drizzle.

There are nine counties, more than 100 counties, and six to seven hundred towns. After careful calculation, there are thousands of official positions!
It's an official position!
rather than officials!

Such a large piece of cake, not to mention other people.

Even inside the Chen family, many people were fascinated by this big cake, secretly carrying Chen Sheng behind their backs, and going to Li Si's door under the banner of the Chen family!

If Chen Sheng had not personally watched this huge selection of officials, he might have made a big mess!

……

The 25th of the first month.

The 15 soldiers and horses of the Second Red Army finished the recruit training and held an army building meeting outside Shangqiu City, Liang County.

Chen Sheng went to Shangqiu in person, presided over the conference, and personally awarded the flag of 'Meng' character with the word "Mongolia" at the bottom of the mysterious base of the Red Army, Acting Commander Meng Tian.

After the Army Building Conference, the 15 soldiers of the Second Army, according to his pre-arrangement, stationed along the lines of Chenliu, Jiyin County, and Qiao County to protect the left wing of Wangting.

It is worth mentioning that after Chen Sheng's enthronement ceremony last year, Chen Feng managed to move the family members of generals Meng Tian and Li Xin, who had held high positions in the Red Army, into Chen County.

This matter was indeed not Chen Sheng's idea, but Chen Feng reported the matter to him as usual.

After Chen Sheng approved Chen Feng's actions, he personally wrote a letter to Meng Tian and Li Xin.

In the letter, he made it clear directly. One is that he is worried that the enemy will make a fuss about their family members in the future, which will make it difficult for him to do it;

He knew that when Meng Tian and Li Xin received his letter, they would definitely feel a little unhappy in their hearts, and they would feel that their morality was insulted.

He also knew that under the current mainstream culture of "convincing people with virtue" in Kyushu, his behavior was indeed a bit petty.

But it doesn't matter, it's ugly now, it's better than the Zhou Dynasty and Taipingdao making a fuss about this flaw in the future, forcing Meng Tian and Li Xin into a sad situation of both loyalty and filial piety... I can't believe that Meng Tian and Li Xin are the same. The trustworthy gentleman, and believes that all the enemy generals who will fight with him in the future are heroic men who are willing to gamble and admit defeat, right?

Chen Sheng has always believed that the greatest respect for Renxin is not to test human nature.

It is very interesting that the handwriting he wrote to the two of them is exactly the same except for the different names.

But the memorials they sent back were quite different.

The memorial that Meng Tian sent back was no different from pointing at his nose and scolding him as a villain, except that there was no foul language, and he kept threatening to go back to Chen County to interrupt Chen Feng, a "honour minister".

In the memorial that Li Xin sent back, the whole chapter praised him for being thoughtful and caring for his generals. At the end, he also said that "the body is weak, the child is weak", and he begged Chen Shengduo to send someone to take care of the family for him. Son, the responsibility of the father'.

Looking at the two memorials at that time, Chen Sheng suddenly understood why, in his previous life, Li Xin died well after killing hundreds of thousands of troops, while Meng Tian was forced to death by Zhao Gao and Li Si for his outstanding military exploits.

……

New year new life.

The carriage of Han Wangting, which Chen Sheng devoted countless efforts and trained for a long winter, finally started with vigour and galloping along the road that Chen Sheng had drawn!
No one can hold it anymore!

Not even Chen Sheng!

I can only watch it... it will never return!
