The first thousand three hundred and six chapters Jiangbei Road, where the official management is ro

Looking at the past and present, the education systems of various countries, whether Chinese or foreign, generally have the same core common denominator, that is, on the surface, they do not dare to mess with it, but in the final analysis, it is still a tool used by the ruling class to select "their own people"

.

This has nothing to do with the national system, social environment, etc., but is an inevitable choice of the ruling class in order to maintain its rule.

In the Tang Empire, the same is true!

Otherwise, why don't Li Xuan liberalize all educational resources?

This thing is very simple. Just gather the best teachers in the empire, record all their lectures, and then publish them in books to the whole society.

From elementary school to middle school to preparatory school, and then all the way to university!

This requires at most a few hundred outstanding teachers. The cost of publishing a book, let alone selling it, even if it is distributed free of charge, will generate an annual fiscal revenue of more than 100 million yuan. At the same time, the printing industry has also been greatly developed, and it can

For a huge empire that publishes newspapers like Datang Chaobao on a large scale.

The cost barrier can basically be ignored!

With the teaching records of these outstanding teachers and other detailed teaching materials, even schools with poor teachers can enjoy first-class teachers. Ordinary teachers can't teach, so it's okay. They can just follow the script and memorize the lecture notes of outstanding teachers.

That's all. Being a repeater isn't that difficult.

But this method is so simple that even a mentally retarded person can come up with it, but he doesn’t do it?

Why?

Because Li Xuan is unwilling to do this!

If these educational resources were liberalized, Li Xuan dared to use his civil and military brains to guarantee that within a few years, a large number of rebels would emerge, and he would die without knowing how.

People's wisdom is a double-edged sword, good for production, but definitely not good for governance.

For a qualified politician, it is most appropriate to cultivate a small number of elites and carry out obscurantist policies for the vast majority of the people. Otherwise, the fate of the Manchus will be their fate.

They were killed by the new era talents they had trained. Among so many incidents of national subjugation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was considered to be relatively representative.

If it had not carried out educational reform back then and had continued to close the country unswervingly and not allow people to study abroad, well, for specific policies, please refer to a centralized monarch north of the 38th parallel and south of the Yalu River, where people claimed to live happily.

To control a small country, the local royal family has been playing this trick for decades, and now their life is quite comfortable.

Despite the violent storm outside, the three generations of fat men remained unmoved, insisting on closing the country and blocking the people's wisdom without wavering. In modern society, who can be more awesome than them?

The despised dictators of West Asia, Africa, and South America are not even worthy of carrying someone's shoes.

It’s okay not to accept it!

Of course, although Li Xuan admired their methods in his heart, it was impossible for him to do this.

I can’t live with my conscience!

There is no way. Although he is an emperor, he was still an ordinary person before he traveled through time. He still has some human morality in his heart. Compared with a pure ruler, he is still slightly inferior.

Because he still has a little bit of conscience!

If you really do these things, sometimes in the middle of the night, your conscience will feel a faint pain!

Therefore, the education system of the Tang Empire, although it adopted elite education, had a large-scale scholarship system, which was very complete from primary school to university.

In almost all universities, students with full scholarships will account for more than 20%. This can be said to be implemented under the forced request of Li Xuan, and many officials from the Ministry of Rites actually do not agree to implement such a large-scale scholarship system.

.

But these people can't influence Li Xuan's decision!

No matter what, Li Xuan still needs to leave a gap for ordinary people so that they have goals and hopes to strive for.

The education system, which combines the elite system and the scholarship system, seems so weird. Similarly, many other systems of the Tang Empire are also weird in the eyes of later generations, such as the Ministry of Finance, which is a legislative body.

However, this kind of legislative body is a serious administrative department, directly under the cabinet. Its political status is not much different from other ministries. It is completely different from the legislative bodies in many countries in later generations, which are various parliaments, assemblies and the like.

.

Why?

It is thought that the Tang Empire was a monarchy system, and it was impossible for any institution to discuss government affairs. The emperor was the sky, the emperor was the earth, and the emperor's words were the law. What the legislative body needed to do was to formulate relevant laws according to the emperor's wishes.

Just fine.

The purpose of the law is nothing else but to maintain rule.

The law of the Tang Empire was just a tool. Like the army, officials and other affairs, they were all tools used by Li Xuan to rule the empire.

From this perspective, you will also know that the purpose of the judicial reforms carried out by Li Xuan is not to give the world a world without corruption, but to maintain rule, so there are many things that look very unfair.

Reasonable and even flawed judicial reform content.

Therefore, there was a Ministry of Law composed of a bunch of administrative officials, who formulated and changed laws according to the emperor's opinions. As for the opinions of ordinary people, I'm sorry, they couldn't hear them, and they ignored them if they heard them.

The changes in the Ministry of Justice are similar to those related to the Supervisory Office and the Supreme Court. They are all personnel and financial reforms.

The changes within each department are actually not that big.

The Inspectorate is still responsible for public prosecutions and supervision of officials. Even the department responsible for supervising officials has not changed. It is still the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Inspectorate.

But although the overall situation has not changed, this is enough for Li Xuan. Without the constraints of administrative officials, the judicial agencies, especially the Supervisory Office, can be free from interference.

In this way, the Inspectorate will not have too many constraints when supervising officials.

The changes in the Supervisory Office, and even the changes in the entire judicial system, are just part of Li Xuan's reform of civil servants, and this kind of reform will not have any significant effects for a while.

If he really wanted to achieve significant results in a short period of time, Li Xuan was still preparing to launch a government purge operation.

Last year's official rectification campaign, although not small in scale, clearly failed to deter hundreds of officials. Otherwise, large-scale corruption incidents in Jiangbei Province would not continue to occur.

This time, Li Xuan is planning to engage in large-scale corruption, and unlike the past where he only targeted middle and low-level officials, this time he is planning to engage in corruption from top to bottom.

Get a few high-level corrupt officials to increase their influence and intimidate all officials, then follow the clues and continue to get rid of middle-level officials, and finally low-level officials.

Because the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!

There is so much corruption among low-level officials that it is impossible to catch them. However, the number of middle- and high-level officials is limited, so it is easy to investigate, arrest, and kill people.

And there is an additional benefit, that is, it can free up more positions for the officials below.

The empire has been established for more than ten years, and the promotion of not only generals but also civil servants has been relatively slow and rigid. A large number of officials in the early days of the empire have occupied important positions and have been in high positions for many years. If you don't keep them down, you will let the later ones

How can I get promoted?

Of course, this is just incidental. The main reason is to announce to the outside world: I am ready to severely crack down on corrupt officials. You all should be careful and don't cause trouble!

Yes, the main purpose of targeting high-ranking officials is to show an attitude, to intimidate officials, and to make them think that the limelight is too tight now, so they should stop for a while and do it again later.

In this way, some officials who were originally prepared to be corrupt can be frightened, and then they can stop their thoughts of corruption. Officials who are already corrupt can be made to stop being corrupt.

Li Xuan never thought that relying solely on this method could completely solve the problem of official corruption. This was something that he almost ignored. From ancient times to the present, regardless of China or foreign countries, official corruption has never been truly solved.

As long as there is power, it will inevitably be accompanied by the use of power for personal gain. Therefore, official corruption and prostitution by prostitutes are ancient and stubborn traditions that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Li Xuan is not confident that he can end this ancient and stubborn tradition!

Judicial reform is just to control this kind of thing within a certain level.

And now he is preparing to launch a large-scale rectification campaign against officials. He plans to kill several high-ranking and corrupt officials, and he just hopes to make those officials honest for a period of time.

It's impossible to completely eliminate it. What Li Xuan wants is just a little control.

So when the judicial reform was completed, Li Xuan started the next step of the plan, which was the same old routine, using the Jiangbei Road corruption incident as the starting point, and then detonating it nationwide.

Under Li Xuan's instruction, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supervisory Council, which had just completed its reorganization, dispatched a task force to Jiangbei Province, where the administration of officials was basically terrible. The task force specially assigned the Qiandu Yushi to lead the team.

This shows that Li Xuan attaches great importance to this matter.

In the official system of the empire, the rank of the Imperial Censor is the third rank. In the Supervisory Council system, it is second only to the second rank Censor, and from the second rank to the Deputy Censor. Generally speaking, this level of censor is

, who is also the president of the Provincial Supervisory Yuan.

It is worth noting that the position of director of the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Supervisory Yuan has also been greatly improved after the reform. Originally, the position of the director was only from the third rank, which was equivalent to the ordinary director of the departments under the central ministries.

.

However, in this reform, Li Xuan personally stipulated that the director level of the bureau should be the second rank, and should be held by a high-ranking censor at the level of deputy capital imperial envoy. Basically, he is at the same level as ministers of various ministries and governors of provinces.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau has various divisions, and the director of each division is the Censor of Qiandu.

After the reform, the number of people in the Anti-Corruption Bureau has expanded rapidly, and the officials serving during the period are generally of higher grades. This is also for the purpose of increasing the authority of the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Although it is said that small officials can be given more power, in fact many problems will arise.

You can't expect a seventh-grade official to investigate a second- or third-grade feudal official!

Well, that’s right, the number one target of the Jiangbei task force this time is the new Taoist priest of Jiangbei Province, Xie Guanglin!
