Chapter 3025 Didn't such a philosophical saying come from the mouth of the father-in-law?
Then, in Liaodong Province, more officials were established to decentralize power. For example, the civil affairs envoy was responsible for civil affairs, the financial envoy was responsible for managing tax revenue and expenditure, and the supervisory envoy was responsible for criminal proceedings...
Academic envoys are specifically responsible for the teaching work of a province, and they can also fundamentally solve the problem of poor families having no way to study.
"As for the generals in charge of the army, they are only responsible for the recruitment and training of the local army. If there is banditry or other emergencies in the local area."
"Only with the unanimous consent of the Civil Affairs Envoy and the Supervisory Envoy, the general can deploy troops to counter rebellion within his jurisdiction..."
"Unless it is an urgent or unnecessary situation, local officials have no right to mobilize local garrison soldiers. Only the imperial court can issue an order..."
"In this way, we will eliminate the shortcomings that have occurred since the Qin and Han dynasties, when military, political, and financial power were all concentrated in the hands of one person, which easily led to the formation of local warlords..."
"..." Li Shimin and Ma Zhou stared blankly at Cheng Sanlang, who was full of energy and talking in an orderly manner.
At some point, Li Shimin had already summoned Shiren, who was writing furiously at the side, which made Cheng Sanlang even more excited.
After all, I was teaching about the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the famous ministers of the Tang Dynasty, the division of science and administrative levels, and the division of local responsibilities and powers.
It will be recorded, and maybe one day it will become well-documented historical data.
And he will also become an outstanding politician in history who created the provincial system.
Furthermore, it was precisely because of the shortcomings of the past administrative divisions that the officials of the Tang Dynasty were prone to major problems.
The state governors of the Tang Dynasty were of the third rank, while the county magistrates of the lower administrative level were of the seventh rank.
Look, the span from the third grade to the seventh grade county magistrate is really too big.
If a county magistrate has outstanding political achievements at the local level, can you directly promote him to the next higher-level administrative district, that is, the state, as governor?
How is such an exaggerated promotion possible? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculous with such a big step?
So of course it is impossible, then what if the state is set as a second-level administrative region and the province is set as a first-level administrative region.
Wouldn't this be much simpler? If you have done a very good job in the position of county magistrate, then you will be promoted to the second-level administrative district, and you will work for two or three more rounds. If you are excellent, then you will be promoted again.
And in this way, with the prosperity of the country and the people of the Tang Dynasty, more and more scholars were selected through the imperial examination, and a large number of talents could be put to their full use.
In fact, this is also an excellent way to solve redundant officials, allowing them to perform their respective duties and have their own division of labor.

Finally, when the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty heard Cheng Sanlang's sonorous voice starting to sound a little hoarse, he called a pause in time.
"Xian son-in-law, please stop for a moment. You have said too much. My mind is a little confused now..."
Seeing that Cheng Sanlang closed his mouth with some unfinished thoughts, he began to pour himself some tea and drink it.
Li Shimin focused his attention on Ma Zhou. "Aiqing, what do you think..."
"Your Majesty..." Ma Zhou glanced at Cheng Sanlang, who had so many weird things in his head.
Then he lowered his voice and whispered to Li Shimin.
"Xiao Cheng Taibao's words and Yi Chen's opinions, although immature, can definitely solve the problem of all dynasties.
Local governments have too much responsibility and it is a good idea to do things on their own.”
The wine redness on Li Shimin's face has receded at this moment. Now, his face is still red, but this kind of redness is related to excitement.
"What you saw is the same as mine. Before, I just thought of marking the way to monitor."
"But I never imagined that what this kid would directly want to do is to divide the Supervisory Road into a province and delegate the military, political and financial power of the province to others."
"In this way, we can prevent the local authorities from doing whatever they want since the Han Dynasty, and even establishing themselves as kings..."
Ma Zhou nodded in agreement, deeply impressed by His Majesty's sober and calm analysis.
"But... a virtuous son-in-law, if
If you act according to this policy, I, the minister of martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, may want to cause trouble for you..."
Seeing the half-smiling look in his father-in-law's direction, Cheng Chubi could only swallow the crispy cucumber he was chewing in his mouth.
"My father-in-law, personal matters are small but national matters are big. So what about the trouble of finding a son-in-law?"
"My father-in-law, you once said that you can conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule it immediately..."
"..." After Cheng Sanlang finished saying this proudly, he felt something was wrong.
The father-in-law's eyes that were originally tilted towards him froze for an instant, and Ma Zhou looked at his father-in-law with a strange expression on his face.
"Xian son-in-law, aren't you drunk too much?" Li Shimin's expression suddenly darkened.
"Why, is my son-in-law wrong? Could it be that such a philosophical saying came from my father-in-law?"
Cheng Sanlang was also a little confused. Anyway, he only remembered that his father-in-law said this when he was drinking. At that time, he was deeply moved by what he heard and flattered his father-in-law.
The scene at that time was really like a marriage between a father-in-law and a son-in-law. Why now, the father-in-law looks so embarrassed and angry? What, he doesn’t love her anymore, right?
Seeing the lively expressions of the couple, Ma Zhou almost wanted to hold his belly and roll to the floor.
Fortunately, he controlled his micro-expression in time, wiped his face vigorously, and tried to make his tone appear deep.
"That... Xiao Cheng Taibao, this statement should come from "Historical Records?? Biography of Li Sheng and Lu Jia"."
"Lu Sheng always talked about "Poems" and "Books", but Gao Di scolded him and said: "You got it from the public residence on the horse, Anshi "Poems" and "Books"!"
Lu Sheng said: "If you can get it on horseback, you would rather cure it immediately? Tang and Wu take it in reverse and defend it with obedience, and use both civil and military skills. This is a long-lasting technique..."
"Ah, this..." The most handsome boy of the Cheng family, who had relatively little education, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Fortunately, he rolled his eyes and continued to quibble.
"It turns out that ancestor actually had the same views as my father-in-law, who is a hero. My father-in-law, you summed it up better and more thoroughly..."
"You kid..."
Li Shimin wiped his face dumbfounded, forget it, he was too lazy to argue with this shameless person, so it was better to continue talking about serious things.
"Anyway, my son-in-law has heard this from your father-in-law, and he also thinks this is a wise saying. It should become my code of conduct for governing the Tang Dynasty and creating eternal peace."
The Tang Dynasty relied on military force to establish the country, but after the world was at peace, if the military and political relations were not properly handled, big problems could easily arise in the Tang Dynasty.
Think about the countries of later generations. The military is only loyal to the court and the country, and does not interfere with local civil affairs, finance and other responsibilities.
Isn’t that just because the military is a conventional armed force authorized by the country to use lethal force and weapons to protect the interests of the people of its country.
Only the state can use it, local governments have no right to mobilize...
"Come here, serve tea, serve strong tea. I want to have a good chat with you today..."
"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and I must listen attentively."
Cheng Sanlang smiled in front of these two big guys, and he was not showing any signs of falseness.
At this time, no one understands the significance of the five-level administrative divisions better than me, no one.
