Chapter 260: Establishing a country and improving the system.

A big city in the west.

A team of ten thousand people slowly drove in from outside the city. The team was extremely mixed, including soldiers, civilians, and even livestock.

There are nearly 10,000 people in the team, but the number of livestock is actually seven or eight times greater than the number of people.

"Mu Yuan, this is the totem stone. Please give it to Chief Long on my behalf. Tell him, old man, I am old. In the remaining days, I just want to enjoy my life..."

At the gate of the city, the Muzha clan shaman slowly took out a stone carved with strange patterns from his arms and carefully handed it to a young man.

"Wu...this..." Mu Yuan was suddenly at a loss.

The Muzhao clan shaman gently patted Mu Yuan's shoulder, and an old voice sounded: "Yuan, you are a capable and talented person. Chief Long has great ambitions. He will lead the Muzhao clan to create a new future... This may not necessarily be the case. It’s not a new life of Muzhao clan…”

.........

City Lord's Hall.

Qin Yu sat in front of a wooden table with stacks of paper notebooks piled on it.

He was writing about the institutions of the kingdom.

The first is the household registration system.

This doesn’t need to be too complicated for now.

The original household registration department was renamed the Ministry of Household Registration, but its responsibilities are currently only responsible for recording household registration, resettling new refugee populations, migrant populations, tax collection, management and land distribution, and distribution of cattle, sheep and livestock.

Not to mention the complexity of the official position system, Qin Yu only settled on four grades: Tian, ​​Di, Xuan, and Huang. These four grades can be divided into Zheng and Cong.

There will be a Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who will be the official official of the land.

There are two ministers on the left and right of the household department, who are subordinate officials.

There is a chief secretary of the Ministry of Husbandry, who is the official of Zhengxuan.

Set up five Hubu Li envoys to serve as Congxuan officials.

There are twenty field officials in the Ministry of Household, who are called Zhenghuang Pinguan.

There are three tax chiefs in the Ministry of Household Affairs, who are Congxuanpin officials.

There are three people in charge of salary recording in the Ministry of Household Affairs, who are Congxuanpin officials.

...

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's land, people, money and grain administration, tribute differences, nomadic livestock, etc.

The Ministry of Personnel is currently only responsible for the functions of inspecting officials, assigning officials, appointing officials, inspecting, dismissing, and transferring officials.

Its internal officials are similar to those of the Ministry of Household Affairs, including the Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, supervisory envoys of various powers, and principals of various powers.

The Ministry of Etiquette is even simpler, managing etiquette, diplomacy, clothing, sacrifices, etc.

Official positions are simple, with less than ten officials holding major positions of authority.

The remaining official systems of the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Industry are also similar.

The Ministry of War is in charge of military registration, recruitment, training, garrisoning troops, weapons, military orders, military information, military reports, military horses, city defense, national defense,

In addition to the ministers of the Ministry of War and the left and right ministers, its official system also has different official positions based on different powers and positions. In addition, it also adds different official positions based on different types of arms such as infantry, cavalry, bows, and chariots.

The Department of Punishment is naturally about punishments and laws. It is the same as the previous Palace of Punishment. The operations of the department will not be changed, but the official titles will be slightly changed.

Each town of the Ministry of Punishment will have its branch, and the name of the branch is Ludian. Its authority is higher than that of the local town government, town government, etc. Even if the guard breaks the law, it has the power to arrest, and those who need to be taken back to the country for trial and judgment.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of water and land construction, urban construction and people's livelihood, construction projects and other matters.

In addition to the six departments of household, rites, officials, soldiers, workers, and punishment.

On top of the six ministries, there is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is responsible for processing the memorials submitted by various places and officials. Finally, they will be reviewed by the monarch, and then the six ministries will be assigned to implement them, or they will be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for reexamination or directly implemented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

On top of the Sixth Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are also the Yingweiyuan and Longhuyuan. One is the highest supervisory department, whose powers and duties are similar to those of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty. It is responsible for supervising officials, managing court battles, collecting military intelligence, investigating spies, and arresting suspicious persons directly without the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment.

One is the extraordinary department, which Qin Yu is directly responsible for, and is responsible for handling some important tasks, as well as the future defense and security issues of the royal court.

In addition, there is Zhongshu Mansion, which is actually similar to the "Secretary's Mansion".

Specialized in assisting the emperor in handling government affairs, putting forward opinions, and promulgating and executing the emperor's imperial orders.

In addition, the Internal Affairs School was changed to the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies, which was an official national university. Students were assessed internally, and those who passed the exam could be directly issued appointment orders by Zhongshufu.

As for the Ministry of Personnel, it is necessary to hold scientific examinations, and those who pass the test can enter the court as officials.

In addition, the appointment of "military military officers" requires a "military examination" held by the Military Academy to select the appointment.

In addition to being responsible for military examinations, the appointment of officers, and the assessment and appointment of military division officers, the Military Academy is also responsible for supervising the production of ordnance, siege equipment, armor, national defense, etc.

The Military Academy is a small department, but its power and position is higher than that of the Ministry of War. The president of the Military Academy is equivalent to the country's military chief.

As for the rest of the officials, they have scattered departments, single-level positions, honorary official positions, etc.

Except for the officers and generals of the garrison in various places who can command troops on a long-term basis, most of the other generals hold honorary official positions and can only command troops on temporary military orders.

Qin Yu would not create a position like "Generalissimo of the Army".

...

In addition to the scientific examination, the military examination, and the direct appointment of graduates of the Chinese Civil Service Department, the official evaluation system also includes the military merit promotion system.

In addition, there will be a three-selection system for those who join the official position.

It can be regarded as a kind of assessment. There will be assessments from January to March or even a year after becoming an official.

In the end, there will be three results: resignation and removal, retention and promotion, and transfer.

These three times are a three-selection system, which is subject to multiple inspections.

Those who are outstanding will be reused, those who are mediocre will be retained in their own posts, and those who are different will be dismissed.

However, the inspection for special promotion will be very strict.

Qin Yu set certain standards for it:

Those who encourage people to do good things in state affairs without fault are considered superior.

Those who have achieved political achievements in politics, have plenty of fields and land for livestock and are not neglected, and handle prison cases seriously will be ranked second class.

Those who have made meritorious deeds in advising on state affairs, those who have achieved political achievements in politics, but whose abilities are low, whose fields are many and desolate, and who are negligent in handling cases, are all classified as inferior.

The higher-ranking officials are directly promoted and reused, the second-ranked ones are transferred and retained, and the lower-ranking officials can be promoted to petty officials or demoted.

As for those with poor ability, lazy character, neglect of government affairs or no political achievements, and who have made mistakes while serving, they will be classified as inferior and will be removed from employment and will not be able to take scientific examinations, military examinations, etc. within three years.

In addition to the official evaluation system, there is also the criminal law system.

The most important one is the prohibition of the slave trade. Prisoners of war or captives of the enemy who have been forced to work for three to six months must be restored to normal citizen status. They are allowed to get paid for their work, buy and sell houses, and have rights protected by law, etc.

In addition to the original nine laws, Qin Yu added a series of new laws including treason, unfilial piety, unrighteousness, disharmony, civil strife, rebellion, disrespect, tax evasion, evasion of service and other behaviors.

New punishments such as thorn punishment, castration, exile, death penalty, imprisonment, exile, deportation, decapitation, corpse killing, flogging, etc. were added.

This entire compiled criminal law was named "Dragon Code".
