Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 970

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the village pavilion system was also a very important local institution.It's just that a township is a township, and a pavilion is a pavilion. These are two-level institutions.

Han Shu: Township 620, Pavilion 630 [-].

The township has the three elders of the township and the elders of the village, which help to educate the township, and the township is self-governing and stable.

As for the pavilion, ten miles is a pavilion. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, pavilions were widely established, but they were mainly responsible for local security.

Township, Li, and Ting, the three local organizations in the Qin and Han Dynasties each had their own emphasis, and even did not belong to each other.Luo Cheng reset the pavilion, but in fact it was different from the Han pavilion.

The pavilion he wants to rebuild now is built at the township level, and it is equivalent to combining the functions of the original township and pavilion.

"The head of the township pavilion, the patrol inspector, the signature, the signature, the captain of the joint defense, and the captain of the militia are all designated as officials. The officials who are out of the country, the joint defense team and the militia defense team must all be served by retired soldiers. And the pavilion chief, the militia captain, etc. Inspections, signatures and signatures are selected from among the county officials. It can be stipulated that those who perform well in the township will have an examination once a year, and a major examination every three years. Those who are excellent in all four examinations can be promoted to the county office Cao Zuo of each house, or recorder."

Luo Cheng also specially added that the officials of these township pavilions enjoy the same salary as the county Cao Zuo officials.

Before that, the emperor had established a system, and after the officials passed the examination, those who performed well could be promoted after passing the examination.Officials have nine ranks, eighteen ranks, and thirty ranks, while official officials also have nine ranks and eighteen ranks. When they are promoted to the top ranks of officials, they can also participate in the selection examination of the Ministry of Officials, and those who pass can be appointed as officials.

Therefore, the official system of the Great Qin Dynasty is different from the previous ones. Although the previous dynasties were not completely unreasonable among officials, the boundary between officials and officials became more and more obvious, and it became more and more difficult to cross, but now this dynasty is completely broken. This boundary has left a passage, and every official has the opportunity to cross it.

Such a change, of course, is also related to the fact that the emperor of this dynasty and the founding ministers are mainly from poor families.

But now, the emperor wants to increase the number of officials at the township level, and add six officials to each township. What about the rank of rank?

The subordinate members below the six officials in the township pavilion belonged to Xu servants.

Luo Cheng, who was born at the bottom, knew very well that even if the previous imperial court said that the imperial power did not go to the countryside, it only went to the county level.But in fact, in a county government, although there are only a few officials, there are so many subordinate officials, which is amazing.

Rather than being unclear, it is better to formally send to the township level, establish a main editor, and clarify the ministry.Otherwise, at the county level, there are many things that cannot be handled, and they will be muddleheaded officials.

Thinking back when Luo Cheng was an arrester, he would have one vote of helpers under his command, and there were ten arresters in a fast shift.There are three shifts in the yamen, and another six rooms.

The official staff of each imperial court is actually equivalent to the head of a department, with a large number of people under his command, but the imperial court does not provide editorial staff, does not pay salaries, and needs these people to handle affairs, so they can only seek rent for power and engage in The collection is ashamed, and the final burden is actually spread on the heads of the people.

Because of this, Luo Cheng simply pierced through this layer of paper, and the imperial court restored from two houses to six houses at the county level, and formally incorporated the third class into the establishment. Now the township has also set up pavilions and six officials.

By pulling people into the court system, they can be supervised.

In some dynasties, they boasted that they had few officials, thinking that this was some kind of benevolent government. I don’t know, but this has no positive effect at all. After all, a court has a total of 5000 to [-] officials and has to manage a population of [-] to [-] million. How can this be managed? good.

Be scientific and reasonable.

You cannot make the horse run without letting the horse graze. If you do that, you will only get chaos and disorder.

It is actually not a good policy to completely leave the countryside to the big clan families in the village. It must be led by the imperial court and assisted in the management by the virtuous and good gentry and big clan families in the village. This is reasonable and benign.

The imperial court wanted to add [-] to [-] township pavilions and [-] to [-] officials at once. If it was in other courts, I am afraid that it will immediately attract opposition.

But Wei Zheng, the prime minister, didn't object. He knew that even if the imperial court didn't set up this village pavilion, there would actually be many subordinate officials in a county.

Now that township pavilions are set up and officials are dispatched, there will actually not be many subordinate staff in the county, because these township officials and subordinate servants will themselves be dispatched from the county, and they will also undertake the errand tasks of the county government.

It's just that now it's decentralized to the township level, and each kiosk keeps its own area, and its responsibilities are more obvious, and it also has its own division of labor with the county government.

Relatively speaking, the number of subordinate staff has not changed, but their control over the countryside will increase.

In fact, this is the difference between gossip and gossip and gossip and gossip, but some people like to look good on the surface.

The Dianju of Xiangting is actually equivalent to a court sent by a locality. Civil lawsuits in the township can be tried by the Dianju first, and then reported to the county court for review. This is actually filtered by the township.

It not only speeds up the efficiency of processing in the township, but also reduces the burden on the county cao.

Moreover, since the signatures are resident in the township, they will have a better understanding of the human relationship in the township, and the trial of general lawsuits will definitely be better and fairer.

In the case of some major disputes or criminal cases, although they have to be handed over to the county law officer, they will eventually be handled by the county magistrate and the county magistrate, but the county pavilion can also get to know the case at the first time, grasp the evidence, and control public opinion.

Luo Cheng turned over and mounted his horse, looking far to the west.

Compared with the problems discovered during the visit along the way, there is a bigger challenge waiting for him in the west.

Although the Western Turks were once only a branch sent by the Turkic Khan court, they were able to fight against the Eastern Turks many years ago. Even Datou Abo once counterattacked to the eastern grasslands to compete for the position of the Great Khan.

Although it was defeated later, after years of steady development, the strength of Western Turks is also extremely strong.

Even in these years, they have rubbed the two world-class empires in the west, the Persian Empire and the Luocheng Empire, to the ground, seriously threatening the two.

The Persians originally formed an alliance with the Western Turks to destroy the powerful country of the later generation of Afghanistan. They agreed to agree on half of the family, but the spoils were not evenly distributed, so the Western Turks simply allied with the Luocheng Empire, the mortal enemy of Persia, and beat Persia to death.

But turning around, the Western Turks have dealt with Rome several times, taking away a lot of land from them.

Therefore, it can be said that although the Western Turkic has not made trouble in the Central Plains for many years, but in the west, he is a full-fledged bandit and horse thief, and he is also very tyrannical, making the two old empires lose their temper.

Now that Shekui is going to intervene in Tuyuhun, it is obvious that he saw the strength of Daqin, saw that the Eastern Turks were defeated by the Qin army, and was also worried that the Qin army would come to fight for the Western Regions. Now it is just a preemptive strike.

As for Tubo, it will also be a strong enemy.

Now, for the first time the three families fought against each other, they all chose Tuyuhun.

Whoever can seize Tuyuhun will be able to take the next initiative.

For Daqin, if Tuyuhun is not controlled, the narrow passage of the Hexi Corridor will be difficult to stabilize, let alone the soldiers go out of Yangguan and enter the Western Regions.The key to fighting for the Western Regions lies in the Hexi Corridor, and the key to controlling the Hexi Corridor is to win Tuyuhun.

For Tubo, if they win Tuyuhun, they will be stronger and have more tribes with more population, not to mention that if they can get the rare agricultural land of Hehuang Valley, it will provide them with huge food and grass support for controlling Tuyuhun.

As for the Western Turks, they don't even need to capture Tuyuhun, they just need to support Murong Ke to restore the country. With Tuyuhun by his side, the Qin army will not be able to send troops out of the Hexi Corridor without any worries. For them, this is an offense instead of defense. .

Daqin is bound to regain the Western Regions, gold wears gold armor in every battle, and will never stop breaking Loulan, no one can stop Daqin's determination.

On the contrary, Luo Cheng is not interested in the plateau land of Tubo now, it is too far away and too remote, and the cost to conquer it is too high, so it is not on the emperor's conquest list for the time being.
