While Fei Qian was approving relevant official documents, he was also thinking about the figures he had in his pocket now. Not to mention the ones who were more military generals, but the ones who were more partial to civil affairs were still a little lacking.
Cui Hou is now mainly focused on commerce and trade, while Zao Zhi is more focused on Sangzi, Du Yuan is focusing on logistics, Linghu Shaoduo is still dealing with the affairs of the academy, and Chang Lin is located in Yong'an. The county is in charge of people's livelihood, while Tai Shiming is specifically responsible for Huang's workshop and related technical work.
It seems like a lot, but in fact there are still too few people using it.
Moreover, Feiqian now needs to establish a slightly more complete model to promote the smooth operation of many matters on an increasingly large territory.
The prime minister system makes people jealous.
Not only was he feared by officials, but even by the emperor.
Since the Han Dynasty, there has been a struggle between imperial power and prime ministerial power. Starting from the Qin Dynasty, the position of prime minister was officially established, but Liu Bang and Xiao He made a god-like beginning. Although they were favored for a while, in the end Xiao He had to be sixty He was imprisoned at an advanced age of 20, and although he was pardoned in the end, it also cast a shadow on the entire prime minister system of the Han Dynasty.
Later, it was changed to Sangong, and even the powerful Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty returned the administrative authority and used Confucian scholars who had no foundation at the time to deal with ordinary people's livelihood affairs, but it created the foundation of the current gentry.
Throughout the prime minister's life, he basically fought against the emperor, against hundreds of officials, against local gentry forces, and even against heaven and earth. For example, when an eclipse, drought or flood occurs, the first person responsible must be the one responsible. I found the Prime Minister here.
The result will either be the pattern of Prime Minister Zhuge, who did not trust anything, did everything himself, and then exhausted himself to death, which also delayed the growth of the next generation; or it will be the pattern of Prime Minister Wei Gong, who devoted his life to the great cause of changing dynasties.
But is this political model appropriate?
Although the current official duties have been handled through joint efforts, Fei Qian still has a headache. The current battle in Yinshan has come to an end, and he also needs time to reserve more food, grass and equipment, so now the focus is naturally to shift from military to In terms of administration, how can the high-level structure of administration be more suitable for today's situation?
Well, what will be the political structure of the dynasties in the future?
The Tang Dynasty seemed to have three provinces and six tribes?
In the Song Dynasty, it was the Privy Council, Zhongshu Xianggong, and Grand Censor?
Then the Yuan Dynasty, well, ignore it...
In the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet? Then, the party fought for the party and the government?
In the Qing Dynasty, the Iron Hat King Ba, uh, that’s wrong, it’s Wang Da Ba, um, that’s not right, the Eight Kings? Forget it, I’m really not familiar with it, so I’ll just ignore it...
At first glance, the three provinces and six ministries of the Tang Dynasty seemed to be dividing the power of the prime minister, but in fact they divided the imperial power and the power of the prime minister. But can such a treatment sometimes achieve good results?
The three provinces and six ministries are not the same as the separation of three powers in later generations. The legislative power is actually still retained in the hands of the emperor. The supervisory function of the subordinates is more like a tool used by the prime minister to fight against the imperial power. The Shangshu Province, as the actual executive organ, seems to be excluded.
There is no competition between imperial power and prime minister power, but in fact, the relationship between the minister and the six ministries also has a delicate balance between the prime minister's power and the imperial power. The chief official of the minister is responsible to the emperor, while the six ministries are responsible for the administrative leadership.
Prime Minister Quan obeys orders.
Although Li Shimin's brilliant strategy successfully divided the power of the prime minister, who was represented by the gentry's children, the literati within the gentry had been reduced to pieces and fought against the emperor to the end, which continued until the Song Dynasty.
Boss Zhao of the Song Dynasty sent troops to the two lakes, destroyed Nanping and Hunan, took back Shu, captured the Southern Han, and overthrew the Southern Tang. He seemed to have unified the chaotic situation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and then naturally began to think about how to continue the Zhao Dynasty.
After thinking about it for a long time, Mr. Zhao seemed to think that everything could be solved by solving two problems, one was the separatist rule in Panzhen, and the other was centralization.
Boss Zhao thought so, so he did it. He called all the gang members to have a glass of wine, and then he got the reputation of "a glass of wine releases military power."
If you know the generals, the generals will not know the soldiers. The initial effect was good, but it also laid the foundation for the disastrous consequences of the late Song Dynasty when the civil society was strong and the military was weak.
So how can we centralize power? After spending countless brain cells, Mr. Zhao created an unprecedented system of separating official titles and actual duties. Unless Mr. Zhao approves, officials usually have empty titles and no actual power.
The book, the Privy Council, the three censors, etc. all restrain each other, and the picture is very beautiful. However, Mr. Zhao never imagined that the strict political system he had carefully formulated would later result in "redundant soldiers, redundant officials, and redundant expenses" that would hinder each other.
Terrible situation.
Taizu of the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister and took over all the power. However, the emperors of the later Ming Dynasty did not have the energy and strategy like him. Many matters could only be decided by the palace bachelors who were only advisers. Some emperors were even treated as pigs by the cabinet.
keep.
After the development of the cabinet political model in the three stages of the Ming Dynasty, in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor with a tail feared and rejected the Han people. Emperor Yongzheng also set up a military department and emptied the palace of academicians to truly eliminate the threat to the monarchy from the Han bureaucracy.
However, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, local Han governors became prime ministers. If Cixi had not been there to suppress him, I don't know how many Cao Mengde and Zhu Quanzhong would have emerged.
If any system is in the hands of China's shrewd emperors and powerful ministers, even if there are no problems for a while, as time goes by, infinite flaws will be found.
What’s next for the political system?
The political system of capitalism and socialism? Sorry, the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is very boring and ugly. If the people do not have certain knowledge and culture, they will not be able to control it. Even in later generations, when the people have generally received education, in the so-called most
The United States, the most free and democratic country, still has tricks of buying and selling political power.
The format of official documents is not a big or small problem, but the political structure of the government is definitely a major issue with far-reaching implications. Now everything in Feiqian is a scratch project and there are not many people, so even if there is something, it can be temporarily adjusted.
, but with the expansion of the territory, it is definitely no longer possible to do everything personally, so this initial framework is very important. Otherwise, when the political structure starts to grow upward, it will be discovered that the foundation is crooked, which will definitely be very painful.
.
Now, in terms of civil affairs, Fei Qian, one is the reform of the official document format, and the other is the issue of the governing system. Fei Qian rubbed his neck, which was sore and painful after bowing his head for a day, and talked with Xu Shu, Zao Zhi, and Du Yuan
After saying hello, I was ready to go to the backyard to have a rest, and I was also ready to sort out my thoughts and see which way was more suitable.
