Chapter 812: Dao Palace disciples go down the mountain
"The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the appointment, removal, assessment, promotion, transfer and other matters of officials in the Western Qin Dynasty. All matters involving the promotion and demotion of officials from the seventh rank and above will be given the final approval by the Prime Minister, and from the fifth rank and above, the approval will be given by the Lord..."
"The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the Western Qin treasury, money, grain and taxation. However, the transfer of materials involving more than 10,000 yuan must be approved by the prime minister..."
"The Ministry of Rites, in charge of sacrifices and diplomacy..."
"The Ministry of War is equivalent to the former Taiwei Mansion. It is in charge of military registration and ordnance. If necessary, the Ministry of War can send people to lead the army on expeditions. However, if the deployment involves more than 10,000 people, the Prime Minister's approval is required..."
"The Ministry of Punishment is responsible for formulating laws and punishments, which is equivalent to the previous Tingwei Mansion. The Jinyi Guards are temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment to apprehend key criminals..."
"The Ministry of Industry is in charge of ordnance research and development, farming and water conservancy. The responsibilities are similar to those of the Shaofu, but different..."
Lin Ze talked a lot about the rights and responsibilities of the six departments, and looking at Chen Ping's face, he seemed to understand everything.
At the end, Lin Ze added: "A small matter can be handed over to the Sixth Department. You only need to do two things. One is to control the overall situation, and the other is to supervise the Sixth Department."
"In this way, not only will you be much more relaxed, but the overall efficiency of handling government affairs will also be greatly improved."
Chen Ping was silent for a while and asked: "My lord, do you have any candidates for the six departments?"
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "Qianyuan can be appointed as the chief officer of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Since the day he took refuge in Gu, he has been responsible for military supplies and logistics, and has fought alone in the world, fighting in at least hundreds of battles, large and small."
"Qianyuan, who is in charge of military supplies and logistics, has never made any omissions. Who else could he be, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"The Ministry of War is concurrently held by Han Xin, and there are two additional officers of the Ministry of War, Zhang Han and Yu Ziqi, who are also in charge of the military power of the Western Qin Dynasty."
"Chief of the Ministry of Industry, do you still remember Xu Gao, who served in Shu? He was born in a farm family and was best at farming and building water conservancy. He happens to be the most lacking talent in Western Qin, which is in urgent need of recuperation."
"Similarly, the Ministry of Industry will set up two assistant officers, selected from the descendants of the Qi Sect or Mohism. It is up to you to decide who will serve."
"Wu Fan is also in charge of the Criminal Department, so there is no need to say more about this."
"Ministry of Rites, I have thought about it for a while. Dongfang He, the former Deputy Superintendent of Qin Tianjian of the Qin Kingdom and the acting head of Fangxian Dao, is good at hosting sacrifices. He is the most suitable person to serve."
"As for the staff department, there is no suitable candidate for the moment, so you can take up the post. I remember that Sikong Ma performed well in Shu. How about recruiting him to be your deputy?"
After what Lin Ze said, it can be said that the arrangement was clear.
Chen Ping couldn't help but wonder if Lin Ze had already thought about it.
The Sixth Department seems to have divided Chen Ping's powers and responsibilities, but overall, Chen Ping, who is in charge of the Sixth Department, will be much more relaxed and has greater power than before.
No matter from which angle he looked at it, Chen Ping had no reason to object, so he bowed and said, "I am willing to obey my lord's arrangements."
Lin Ze nodded and said: "Then follow this idea and come back to me if you have any problems. You will have to work hard for a while before the six parts are formed."
Chen Ping replied seriously: "This is what I should do."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "You should be busy, I will go somewhere else."
After all, the whole person disappeared in front of Chen Ping's eyes, and he didn't know where he went.
…
Since ancient times, structural reform has been carried out from the bottom up, which is extremely difficult but the most thorough.
Although it is difficult to be thorough from top to bottom, the advantage is that it takes a short time and produces quick results.
Chen Ping got all the information about the rights, responsibilities and composition of the six departments from Lin Ze. After a few orders, the six departments gradually took shape.
Lin Ze never paid much attention to such details, so he took advantage of his free time and wandered around the land of Yanzhao aimlessly.
In some places, officials of the Western Qin Dynasty began to form local governments, calling on local wealthy families to find ways to restore production.
In some places, the officials of the Western Qin Dynasty have not yet arrived, and they are in a state of no government.
Where there is no official restraint and education, bandits are rampant, people are fearful, and public security is extremely poor.
In Lin Ze's eyes, there is another difference between the two, which is to provide him with luck, which is completely different.
Where there is a government, the luck that can be generated is often several times greater than in an unowned land.
After walking around outside for half a circle, Lin Ze immediately returned to Handan and asked Chen Ping to make an announcement:
"Officials who are expected to take up their posts are required to speed up and rush to their jurisdiction within half a month.
Failure to do so will result in a crime of dereliction of duty."
Only three days after this order was issued, the walking speed of the officials who went to take office in various places increased by 30%.
Lin Ze continued to wander until he met Zhuang Zhou on the north side of the Yellow River, who was "returning with a full load."
Looking at the numerous Taoist disciples wearing Taoist robes behind Zhuang Zhou, Lin Ze probably understood why Zhuang Zhou would not return for half a month.
With one's cultivation level in the Heaven and Human Realm, even if the land of Yanzhao and the Taoist Palace are eight thousand miles apart, half an hour would be enough to make a round trip.
The reason why Zhuang Zhou did not return was of course because he wanted to protect these seedlings of the Taoist palace.
Seeing Lin Ze, Zhuang Zhou felt that the sky above his head had become a little clearer.
There are many Dao Palace disciples, especially those who are coming down the mountain for the first time, and they have only a partial understanding of what they are here to do.
If you don’t understand, just ask, since Zhuang Zhou Yasheng is leading the team, if he doesn’t find a few more difficult questions to ask, how can he show his pious heart towards the Tao?
Along the way, thousands of people asked Zhuang Zhou questions from various angles, which really harassed Zhuang Zhou.
Now that Lin Ze was here, Zhuang Zhou immediately thought of the four words "draining trouble to the east".
So Zhuang Zhou turned around, stood in the air, and shouted to the disciples behind him: "Why don't you come and pay homage to the Patriarch soon?"
Thousands of Dao Palace disciples were startled at first, and then said in unison: "Meet the Patriarch."
Lin Ze was immediately confused by this scene.
I only heard Zhuang Zhou continue to say: "This time you are going down the mountain under the orders of the Taoist Saint to support justice. The main reason is to obey the orders of Patriarch Lin Ze."
Support justice?
The more Lin Ze listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and subconsciously interrupted on the spot: "Senior brother, wait a minute, what is going on?"
"Senior brother, can you explain this clearly to your junior brother first to avoid any misunderstanding?"
Lin Ze deliberately added an accent to the word "misunderstanding" to signal Zhuang Zhou not to talk nonsense, otherwise it would be difficult to end the matter.
But Zhuang Zhou said righteously: "Why is there such a misunderstanding? Isn't it the purpose of the Taoist Palace to kill demons and bring peace to the world?"
Lin Ze wanted to say something: "No, Tao Gong's way of life is to have no fight with the world."
But looking at the fanatical Dao Palace disciples, Lin Ze forcibly held back and did not speak.
Lin Ze secretly estimated that the distance between the river and Handan City was about three hundred miles, and then replied loudly: "All Dao Palace disciples obey the order and march quickly to the northeast in the direction of Handan."
"Bang bang bang"
As soon as Lin Ze said these words, the Dao Palace disciples didn't even think about it and ran straight away, raising a puff of smoke and dust, and headed towards Handan.
