Li Jinglong guessed correctly, and that was exactly what Zhu Yunxiu’s intention was.

~

"I went down and left and discovered a hidden worry about my Ming Dynasty!"

In front of the emperor, all those left were Zhu Yunyu's confidants.

But as soon as he spoke, he still scared these people.

"The power of provincial governors in various places is too great!"

Suddenly, everyone's hearts trembled.

This is no longer a matter of being shocked, but a horrifying thing.

"The power of the emperor is just in the smallest part of the Forbidden City. In such a large province, the governing authority of a province can cover the sky with one hand!"

Everyone bowed their heads together, thinking about how to deal with it, and dared not speak easily.

"They protect whoever they want? Use whoever they want?" Zhu Yunxiu sneered again, "They hide the place in a smooth and unsparing way! But in fact, all kinds of pickled matters emerge one after another!"

Speaking of this, he snorted coldly and continued, "Jiujiang Wuchang, this is such a big deal that I have encountered when I go through a quick look. If I travel to the thirteen provinces in the world and the seven guards of Guanxi another day, I will be angry with them!"

Everyone already understands what the emperor means!

Indeed, the power in the hands of local officials is too great. It’s not that they are difficult to control. Their power is given by the central government, so the central government can naturally come back.

The difficulty lies in the fact that since ancient times, the structure of power distribution has been like this. The central whip is beyond reach, and local affairs must be handled by the full power of a province.

Or how can it be said to be a border?

"I have also understood what the emperor said!"

Zhu Gaochi must speak first on this occasion. Moreover, this fat man is often slandering, strange words, and occasionally sarcastic.

But when it comes to military and national affairs, you are never careless.

"The central government orders are issued to the local area, but there are few that are not distorted." Zhu Gaochi said again, "It's like commercial tax. The rules and regulations have been set at that time, but the tax terms of each province are still uneven, even..." As he said that, he paused, "There are many types and some taxes that the central government knows, while others don't know at all!"

"The reason why it is distorted is that as the emperor said, no one dares to restrain himself!" Zhu Gaochi said, looking at Hou Yong next to him, "Hou Butang should also have a deep understanding of this!"

Hou Yong not only had an understanding, but he was promoted from the position of the Henan Provincial Administration Commissioner, first as the Minister of Personnel, and then as the Minister of Personnel.

He saw far more clearly about the excessive local authority than others.

When he was in charge of the provincial administration, he did not implement every decree of the court unconditionally. Because the central decree was not all good for local governments.

Some government orders can even greatly damage local rights and interests.

For example, during the major disaster in Henan, food should be transferred from Shaanxi or victims should be allowed to enter Shaanxi. Even if the Shaanxi governor received the official documents from the center, he would not agree.

Another important point is that although the governors of each province are not locals, if they want to have a firm position and be able to make a big decision, they need to protect the interests of their own province.

To put it bluntly, interests are the distribution of power.

To put it bluntly, it is the support of others.

To put it simply, there is no trouble.

Think about it, the central government will go upwards. Who would be willing to have any troubles below and affect your career?

He understood, but now his position is different. When he was in power, it was inevitable that he would wrestle with the imperial center from time to time. But now he was in control of the center and hated such things.

"I will take the matter of the headquarters as an example!" Hou Yong whispered, "The candidates for official positions in various prefectures are selected from the Ministry of Personnel, and the annual official assessment is also done by the Ministry of Personnel!"

As he said that, he smiled bitterly, "But every year, officials from all provinces should be kept in office and transferred, and other matters, they should also be concerned about the views of the provincial governors... and the official assessments. If the provincial governors are presented, they will be excellent!"

"Every year it's time to collect taxes!" Zhang Feng also smiled bitterly, "The Ministry of Revenue and various provinces are in charge of lawsuits... and they are arguing back and forth!"

Zhu Gaochi was silent for a moment and continued, "Anyway, it is because they have too much authority. What the emperor said is to strengthen the jurisdiction of the center." As he said that, he looked up, "Master, how do you want to change?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, but did not say anything, but looked at Xu Huizu who had been silent.

"Although my Ming Dynasty does not value culture over military affairs!" Xu Huizu whispered, "But the Chief Secretary nominally commands the three departments, including the Chief Command Department... Like the Changhou of Huguang, it is a special case. The Chief Secretary dares not control it until he is not down!"

"But in other places, the governing departments of various provinces often point fingers at the command department!"

Xu Huizu's words mean something different.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the structures of each province were the three departments of the capital, the plaza, and the three departments... namely the command department, the plaza and the plaza.

As the country gradually became peaceful and the war decreased, coupled with the expansion of the civil servant group and the end of the Huaixi Warriors Group, the local government has become the dominant position.

In Zhu Yunyu's opinion, there is another problem involved.

It's the issue of local decentralization!

To be strong, one must pay attention to agriculture and economy. As a result, the authority in the hands of the governor becomes more and more prominent. After a family becomes dominant, the structure of the original three-legged and three-legged team and their respective duties will be broken.

It is not a good thing for local governments to dominate one's own business.

If government affairs want to be smooth, they must be clearly divided into different levels. A province must never become a one-man show.

"I..." Zhu Yunxiu said, "I want to set up governors in various provinces. The governor is under his jurisdiction, governors, and the commander department!"

Everyone was shocked!

They are familiar with the word governor, and they have been there since the Northern Wei Dynasty, inspecting the world and pacifying the military and civilians.

The emperor means that the governor keeps his original official position and his rank unchanged, but he can no longer dominate his power.

The Censorship is in charge of criminal law litigation.

Dusina is a local guard.

The only thing left is civil affairs in the General Secretary.

In this civil affairs, the court directly set up a tax department for commercial taxation, and he couldn't get involved. All he could manage was the land tax, the number of land acres, and the power to assess county and prefecture officials.

"It's not just a province!" Zhu Yunxiu said seriously, "Each border town must also be set up!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Huizu lowered his head.

The power of the general command department of each border town is absolutely even worse than that of the governing departments of each province.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have started to abolish the useless soldiers of the border town a few years ago.

The layoff is a layoff, but maybe more than ten years later, it will be a solid state sprout again.

"The first position of governor, second-rank!"

Zhu Yunxiu said again, "The administration of various provinces shall be elected by the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate, and I will decide!"

"In addition to those three parties, the governor of the border town must also be recommended by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "You can't get a nerd who doesn't understand soldiers to go there in the border town, right?"

Everyone's hearts were like a mirror, and the focus of the emperor's words was on the last sentence, and he decided.

Other people's recommendations are just a walk-through form.

"In addition..." Zhu Yunxiu said, "Like the province of Huguang, it seems quite... bloated and complicated to me!"

"I want to divide it into two provinces in Hubei and Hunan... Of course, Huguang is familiar with the world... In addition to the governor, these two provinces will also have a governor of Huguang!"

"There are also Zhili in Guangdong and Guangxi, and so!"

Governor? What official position is this?

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi felt an unusual meaning in his heart.
