Of course, the New Deal in the Kaibao Year did not stop at farming and civil affairs. Under the program of supporting people's livelihood, several items were also highlighted.
First, the administration of officials. In addition to continuing to clarify the anti-corruption and anti-corruption policies, the imperial court’s supervision system will continue to be adjusted to make the scope of powers of the Three Law Departments clearer. At the same time, the official duties and responsibilities of other departments and offices of the imperial court will also be clarified.
Continue to eliminate redundant officials and streamline the number of officials in the central and local Daozhou government offices. Taking county administration as an example, in addition to the people-friendly officials such as magistrates, county magistrates, chief registrars, and county lieutenants appointed by the imperial court, there are also officials who are on duty to eat food.
The number of public officials has also been reduced to a certain extent, and various types of official positions have been adjusted, merged and abolished. At the same time, it is stipulated that the number of various public officials in small counties should be controlled at 50, in medium counties 75, and in large counties 100.
people, 150 people in Wang County.
Counties in the Han Dynasty are classified according to their population, with less than 2,000 households as small, more than 2,000 households as medium, more than 5,000 households as large, and more than 10,000 households as hope. Of course, the national population census and registration were also implemented during the New Deal.
List.
In terms of talent selection, we will continue to improve the subject system, add practical subjects, expand the scope of admissions, control the admission quota, and strengthen the punishment of malpractice for personal gain. At the same time, we will improve the standards for noble officials to become officials.
On the other hand, we will continue to expand the government-viewing system, not only to central departments and Kinki yamen, but also to all prefectures and states, and strengthen the assessment of officials. At the same time, a new salary system has also been officially promulgated, which is in line with the previous
The Lordship system improves the basic treatment of bureaucrats. After all, in the Qianyu era, Emperor Liu did not give "preferential treatment" to officials. We often heard of officials who were poor and unable to maintain their lives. Although they were in the minority, we could still get a glimpse of them.
appearance.
The second is river affairs. It is not only to prevent floods, but also to smooth water transportation. Whether it is political, economic, or military, water transportation is a very important thing. Emperor Liu planned to use old waterways and water veins to
On the basis of this, many people have proposed to sort out the canals across the country. In previous political discussions, many people have proposed this.
Not only for the Central Plains, Southeast, and Hebei areas, but even Wu Xingde, the chief envoy of Guanzhong, also came to the table and asked for the construction of the mainstay and the three gates. Of course, in terms of river affairs, Emperor Liu always adhered to a basic policy
, which means not being impatient, advancing steadily, and acting within your capabilities.
In addition to excavation, dredging, diversion, and parallel flow, in areas with frequent floods, in addition to strengthening dams, we will continue to promote tree planting and densely plant willows on water banks to stabilize the soil.
The third is the military. Emperor Liu is still very satisfied with the military system of the Han Dynasty. The internal and external system and the garrison law have been implemented for many years. They are considered stable, so they are only fine-tuned.
To improve the treatment of border garrison soldiers, in addition to the rotation of the Forbidden Army, local garrison soldiers will be rotated to the nearest location. In addition, an adjustment will be made to the national military strength. The Forbidden Army and the border army will mainly be replaced, and the old ones will be replaced.
The weak retired and the local areas were reduced. Of course, the Lingnan and southeastern regions were still controlled by heavy troops for the time being. The number of sergeants in the imperial city guard was increased to 10,000.
More importantly, Emperor Liu made it appear that he would no longer use troops externally, focusing on military defense and focusing on domestic management and development. Of course, this was just an appearance. In a short period of time, there was indeed no intention to use troops on a large scale.
The country needs adjustment, and the people need peace. It is just a matter of keeping the officials and people in peace internally, and confusing the barbarians externally.
After the Han Dynasty achieved basic unification, the light released by this rising red sun has attracted the attention of surrounding countries, including Khitan, Uighur, Goryeo, and Dali. They all rushed to send envoys and were afraid of them.
The meaning does not need to be expressed in words.
As for other small countries and tribes, they came in droves, including the Annan and Wu dynasties, which had not had much contact before, and also sent envoys to Tokyo. They were humble and courteous, and their attitude was especially respectful.
After the promulgation of the new policies, Emperor Liu spoke out again in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, expressed his ambitions, and encouraged the officials, monarchs and ministers to work together to create a prosperous age, protect the peace of the world, and ensure the well-being of the people.
In addition, the implementation of many government orders requires a group of highly qualified executors and a large number of powerful officials to carry them out. National policies have always been programmatic opinions, and there is too much room for interpretation, top-down
, it was one meaning in the court, and it was an explanation when it was handed down to Daozhou, but it may have completely changed in the county. This is why many reform policies with good intentions ultimately went astray, failed to meet expectations, and then failed.
The extent of the imperial court's control over the country, the transmission of information, the internal and external connections, and the level of social development all destined the imperial court to be unable to govern the world in a more detailed manner. It is not surprising that similar situations would occur.
Back then, with the authority of the current imperial court, such extreme situations would not have occurred. Even if there were deviations, they would not be too outrageous. However, if you want to implement the New Deal as smoothly as possible and achieve the goals as perfectly as possible, you also need a strong
Leadership team and executive team.
Therefore, Emperor Liu made another major adjustment to the power center of the Han Dynasty to welcome the new era and safeguard the implementation of the New Deal.
Wei Renpu was the Secretary of the Zhongshu, still the prime minister, and in charge of state affairs; Dou Yi was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and Zuocheng, Tongping Zhangshi; Wang Pu was the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Tongping Zhangshi, and became the youngest minister in the political affairs hall
, he and Dou Yi can be said to be the backbone of the implementation of the New Deal; although Red Xiang is the third envoy, compared to Wang Pu, except that he is older, everything else seems to be incomparable, which makes him feel aggrieved.
It was time for Murong Yanchao to be appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He mainly asked Emperor Murong to put his experience into the investigation and management of river engineering and water affairs; King Yong Liu Chengxun was appointed as the pacifier of Youji and the prefect of Zhending, representing the royal family to sit in Hebei.
Tao Gu retreated from his position. Some people impeached him for some bad deeds he had done in Hangzhou. Emperor Liu asked him to return to his hometown of Xuan and comfort Sigan. He was probably the most unhappy person.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Li Ye, was appointed by his uncle Li Ye, who returned to the imperial court. Due to poor health, Murong Yanzhao retired several times. Emperor Liu allowed him to return to his home, but did not allow him to become an official. The successor of the Minister of War, Zhao Kuangyin, directly dismissed him.
Removed from the Privy Council.
As for the Privy Council, there have also been some adjustments. Li Chuyun is still firmly in the position of Privy Councilor, and the deputy envoy is An Shouzhong. Privy Councilor Han Huize was promoted to the Third Division as the Salt and Iron Envoy.
Judging from Emperor Liu's appointment of Wang Pu and An Shouzhong, those civil and military officials who had left the imperial court in the past had gradually become the backbone of the Han court.
There was no major adjustment in the positions of the imperial army. Xiang Xun, Gao Huaide and Han Tong were still in charge of the guards, the front of the palace, and patrolled the three yamen. However, Yang Ye was transferred to the deputy commander of the front of the palace, Liu Tinghan was appointed as the deputy commander of the front of the palace, and Wang
Shen Qi was appointed as the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the bodyguards.
On this basis, Emperor Liu once again selected more than thirty officials from the Hanlin Academy, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Xuanwei Department, and sent them to various prefectures to serve as political envoys to the imperial court to guide and promote the Kaibao New Deal.
Of course, it also assumes some supervisory responsibilities.
At the same time, the current administrative division of the Han Dynasty has also reached the final implementation stage. How to re-divide this vast empire has been brewing for a long time.
