Chapter 226 Seven Major Measures

Tired all day.

However, when I think of Tieguanyin tea and mechanical clocks, I feel a sense of pride in my heart, even though they are all pirated copies.

When I returned to Ninggan Palace, which had been renamed Funing Palace, it was past half past [-]:[-] p.m. Fortunately, there were not many memorials tonight, and it was not difficult to give instructions. Quan Jiu has basically finished processing, and I am just reviewing. After reading it again, he wrote the word "ke" at the end of the memorial, and asked Quan Jiu to stamp it one by one.

"Officials, there is one last memorial left. This is a memorial from Mr. Wen Tianxiang. The content is to recommend Xie Fang to take up the post of Jiangnan West Road, that is, the future Jiangxi provincial system envoy,"

"Thank you Fangde," I thought for a while but didn't have any impression.

"Yes, official, Jiu'er remembers that this person and Mr. Wen are the same Jinshi,"

"Well, let's have a look at its materials tomorrow before we discuss,"

"Okay, let the officials rest earlier,"

"Wait a minute, Jiu'er, you go to bed first, the reform of the provincial system will be carried out soon, I want to study the official position system of our dynasty again,"

"Jiu'er is not sleepy, the official is reading a book, and Jiu'er will give you a massage,"

"Well," I said, picking up the book.

Each road in the Song Dynasty had four official positions: economic strategy appeasement envoys (or system establishment envoys), transfer envoys, promotion of criminals and prisons, and promotion of Changping. The affairs of the stalls are reported to the imperial court separately. This system is a typical separation of powers and governance, rather than a unified model similar to the previous dynasty.

The transshipment envoy, who is in charge of the wealth along the road, checks whether it is listed and consumed, and pays enough for the counties and counties. The power of the transshipment envoy is very large. Among the three official positions, the least changed is the appeasement envoy of economic strategy. After Emperor Gaozong went south, he changed his name to the envoy of appeasement system. He was in charge of managing the local army. Administration, which has some functions of the governor of the future and the commander of the military division, but it can't manage the transfer envoy, mention the prison, etc. The matter of punishment and prison is somewhat similar to the Chief Prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate, who is mainly responsible for the review of major cases. The establishment of this position fully reflects the benevolent government of the Song Dynasty emperor. The famous forensic doctor Song Ci served as the criminal judge. Mainly responsible for the management of Changping warehouse relief, farmland water conservancy, etc. These four positions are known as the four major supervisors along the way, and they work side by side, each performing its duties, and at the same time supervising each other.

If we compare the history of China and the West, it is not difficult to find that most of China has practiced a unified leadership model since ancient times, so the entire feudal society is almost a society ruled by men. In the early days, the city-states like Athens advocated the so-called parliamentary system, which laid the foundation for the later implementation of modern parliamentary system in Western society.

The Song Dynasty may be an exception, but with the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, the separation of powers ceased to exist. Even the feudal dynasties of later generations adopted it, but most of them were metaphysical, and the appearance was no longer the same.

Regarding the establishment of the provincial system, should I retain the four major supervisors or choose the provincial governor responsibility system for later generations?

Recently, I have been struggling with this, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it seems to be another difficult multiple-choice question.

I shook my head, sighed, and then inquired about another document left by Li Zong. Regarding the supervision system of the Song Dynasty, this system is still very strict. The supervision system of the Song Dynasty is comprehensive and multi-angle. From the central government to branch roads and then to prefectures and counties, there is a set of supervision system. The imperial court itself adopts the traditional censor supervision system in our country. In the Song Dynasty, the censor Zhongcheng was only ranked fourth after the prime minister, the privy envoy, and the three envoys. , which shows its high status. According to the current arrangement, it can be included in the Standing Committee of the Central Committee. The function of Yushitai is to picket officials and punish evil. Different, but because of the incompetence of many emperors in the Song Dynasty, the supervisory censor often impeached hostile ministers under the guise of supervision, and gradually became involved in the court's party struggle. Since the second year of Ningzong Jiading (1209), the court has not The addition of Yushi Zhongcheng, which has explained to a certain extent that there is a problem with the operation of the country.

As for the division, due to the mutual supervision of the four major supervision departments, a supervision system has naturally been formed.

In the prefectures and counties, the Song Dynasty set up a position called Tongpan, which is different from the previous dynasties. The responsibility of Tongju is to supervise the state officials. It is to supervise every move of state and county officials, especially the magistrate. The general judgment is basically directly appointed by the imperial court. It is extremely rare that Xing Fangzhuo, the general judge of Jinhua, was recommended by Ren Song, the magistrate.

Judging from the supervision system of the Song Dynasty recorded in the book, it is actually very comprehensive. In many periods, the government of the Song Dynasty was still relatively clear, but only in the later period did it become rotten. This is not a problem with the system, it is indeed the implementation The problem of the man of the system.

Take the position of general judge as an example, its nature is not much different from the ICAC I want to set up. Although the official rank is lower than that of prefect or prefecture, it can supervise the integrity of local officials. The materials are reported to the imperial court without going through the local state.

This reminded me that the Ombudsman's Office and the General Judgment can be combined into one. At the same time, it also reminded me that people will make mistakes. Even if there is an ICAC, there must be corresponding laws and regulations. Only rigid laws can govern Live flexible people.

September of the first year of Xianchun is destined to be an extraordinary month.

Since the heavy rainfall in May, there has been very little rain in Lin'an. In the early hours of September [-], heavy rain poured down. A long-lost timely rain hit the capital. Of course, the heavy rain could not stop the court meeting.

"See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live my emperor,"

"Everyone loves you, free from courtesy,"

"Thank you, Your Majesty,"

"Dear dears, today is September [-]st. It has been almost a year since I ascended the throne. During this period of time, through the joint efforts of everyone, my various industries inside and outside my court have gradually improved. Song Zhongxing still has a long way to go. The road to Zhongxing has not yet been successful, and everyone needs to continue to work hard. Since Kublai Khan quelled the Alibuge Rebellion last year, he is also determined to develop the place where he belongs. Even the government They are also imitating our imperial system. Recently, they have been one step ahead of me and started the reform of the provincial system. Kublai Khan is ambitious, and his intention is obviously Sima Zhao's heart. One day, when Mongolia's comprehensive strength is strong enough, Kublai Khan will Lie will inevitably invade the south again, and at that time there will be a situation of death and destruction, facing this situation, how should I deal with it?"

I paused, scanned the officials in the Daqing Palace with sharp eyes, and said loudly: "There is only one answer, that is, the tip of the needle meets the wheat awn, and as long as my needle can be extremely sharp, then let it be what it is." The wheat awns will be pierced by my sharp needles, well, let's officially enter today's court meeting, "

The hall was very quiet, and the ministers were each thinking about their own plans, waiting for my instructions.

"Dear dears, the first thing I want to say is that I am very pleased that all of you have chosen to stay in the court and rejuvenate our court together with me. I thank you all," I smiled slightly and continued, "Of course, you must To become an invincible needlepoint, you have to go through hard training. September will be the most important month for me this year, because in this month, I will carry out several major reforms. First, I will resolutely rectify The corruption phenomenon that has formed in our dynasty for a long time, the "Code of Conduct for Officials" and the Fujian Road Supervisory Office have both started trial implementation today, which marks the official start of the anti-corruption campaign in our dynasty. Corruption has occurred in all dynasties When it accumulates to a certain extent, it will form a huge public grievance, which will cause the court to lose its credibility and popular support. Dear friends, just imagine, can the boat move normally without the water? What's more, It will also become a sign of dynasty replacement. Everyone has read history and knows that the end of many previous dynasties was politically turbid and the officialdom was corrupt. Therefore, rectifying corruption is the foundation of our dynasty's revival. If this cannot be done, everything is empty talk Secondly, I will carry out the reform of the provincial system this month. I have discussed with the Government Administration Council. The first batch of pilot areas are Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road, which will be changed to Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province respectively. This is not just an administrative area. The re-division of the government is not simply a struggle for centralization or decentralization of power, but a new type of system that balances the imperial court and the local government. , the imperial court will take more care. With the changes in the internal and external situation and the improvement of various laws, I will gradually delegate power to the local governments. This month, I will discuss the specific rules with the Government Affairs Council. The third is the transformation of our army. On September [-]th, the envoys from each theater returned to Beijing. I will discuss with the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Military Affairs Council and the four envoys about the military reform of our army. One of the purposes of the military reform is to adapt to the ever-changing situation. The war situation is mainly the dispute between Song and Mongolia. Another purpose is to create an invincible Song army that can compete with the Mongolian iron cavalry, and even surpass them. The fourth point is about land reform. The most accurate land measurement is the Fujian Road. As a pilot model, to start land reform affairs, it is necessary to let the tillers have their land. The Ministry of Agriculture must formulate supporting measures to increase farmers' enthusiasm for farming, and also improve farmers' planting efficiency and increase the yield per mu. No matter when Food is the only prerequisite for the stability of a dynasty. As the ancients said, warehouses know etiquette. The fifth change is aimed at the industry and commerce of our dynasty. Starting this month, the Ministry of Commerce will successively introduce preferential policies to support industries, commerce and exports in various regions. Trade encourages the coexistence of multiple economies, constructs an economic model of mixed development of multiple economies, and at the same time seeks another investment path for the abundant funds of the landlord class after the land reform. If agriculture is the premise of stability, then industry and commerce are the foundation of development. The sixth item is about the upcoming Ministry of Education. I have decided to change the name of the Ministry of Education to the Ministry of Education and Health. In addition to the original educational function, the function of health management will be added. The health management is divided into two parts for the time being. One is my The medical care of the common people, that is, the common peopleThe second is the sanitation environment of our dynasty, and strive to prevent diseases, especially for the relatively backward rural areas. Its function is to gradually improve the health of the people in our dynasty and increase the average life expectancy of the people. Seventh, Set up a special law-making department. I decided to set up a law department under the Government Administration Council to gradually improve or change the laws related to various industries to adapt to the rapid development of our economy in the future. The above seven major reform measures are what I want to talk about today. , Some of them are aimed at the government of our dynasty, and some are aimed at the people's livelihood of our dynasty. These seven major measures are the focus of our reform from this month. In addition to their own affairs, all departments must also focus on peace and harmony. From the reform measures related to their own departments, "

I finished the key affairs of September in one breath. This is probably one of the longest speeches I have made in the court so far.

What I didn't expect was that in various newspapers published in September, the summary of my speech in the Royal Newspaper was reprinted one after another. What's more, the speech I gave in the Gongyuan before was also published, and it was called Xian Chunyuan The two masterpieces of the Emperor of the Year,
