"Nowadays, there are more and more governors, governors, etc. in various places, and the responsibilities are confused and difficult to separate, which is not a good thing. I suggest that there be only one governor in each province. Except for special places, there can be additional governors, such as Nangan, Yunyang, and Pianyuan.
, there should be only one governor in one province, and one governor in two or three other provinces, but the governor should not be governor of the same province. For example, if the governor is stationed in a province, there will no longer be a separate governor, but the governor will also hold the post of governor."
Zhu Yihai listened carefully.
He had previously set up three governors in eastern Zhejiang, and now they have been merged into one, but there is still one governor in western Zhejiang. These are actually due to the previous situation. After all, he does not really control much territory, and the previous situation was urgent and detailed.
Breaking points also facilitates better management.
But looking back now, this approach is indeed not good in the long run.
Just like in the last years of Chongzhen, there were four governors, six governors and eight general soldiers around Beijing alone.
"There are too many provinces in South Zhili and it is unreasonable. It should be divided into only two provinces, either with the north and south of the Yangtze River as the boundary, divided into Huaiyang and Jiangsu, or the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River divided into Anhui or Jiangsu."
"There are also provinces with prefectures and counties, but also Zhili prefectures, scattered prefectures, subordinate prefectures, etc., which is very confusing. When unified and integrated, Zhili prefectures can be upgraded to prefectures, and scattered prefectures can be directly changed to counties. The same is true for subordinate prefectures.
."
"I have another suggestion, that is, the various roads set up by this dynasty due to special events are still very confusing. They are divided into guarding and patrolling. There are also food supervision roads, salt law roads, water conservancy roads, and coastal defense roads that were set up due to events.
Tao, learning Tao, etc.”
"I suggest that the province of Zhejiang should be unified and divided into four provinces: Hangjiahu, Ningshaotai, Jinquyan and Wenchu. The separate defense and patrol should be combined into one, and coastal defense and military preparation should be unified.
The roads are also integrated together, so that each of the four roads has only one sub-inspector. I believe that this sub-inspector can be regarded as a small governor, in charge of the civil affairs, money, food, criminal names, and even military affairs of several governments within a territory, and it is best not to do so.
Then the provincial officials dispatched officials, just like governors, and changed them to official Dao-level officials, clarifying their grades, for example, determining whether they should be from the third or fourth grade, and no longer add titles such as political participation, deputy envoy, and minister."
"In addition, the Tao responsible for specific affairs, such as the Grain Supervision, Water Conservancy, Ti Xue, Salt Law, and Yi Chuan, can be renamed as departments, such as the Grain Supervision Department, the Water Conservancy Department, the Ti Xue Department, the Salt Law Department, and the Yi Chuan Hall, etc.
It is directly subordinate to the provincial governor, and there are no longer separate departments such as the Ningshaotai Water Conservancy Department, Hangjiahu Water Conservancy Department, etc., but only one department for specific affairs in each province."
"Each road can have a branch office or bureau, which is subordinate to the branch patrol road."
"Make it clear that the sub-inspector is the direct superior of the prefect and is responsible to the sub-inspector."
Song Zhipu brought out many of the issues he had researched during this period in one breath, and Zhu Yihai listened attentively.
According to Song Shoufu's suggestion, he was to reorganize local institutions. After all, the original three-division system had long been discredited. Senior local officials had changed from three-division divisions to today's governors. The original provincial capitals and counties now had a governor in between.
Very confusing way.
It's really troublesome if you don't straighten it out properly.
After all, in the past, governors were not local officials, but temporary supervisory officials sent by the court. In fact, Daotai and prefectures and counties were not in the same system.
Therefore, Lao Song proposed to make them all local officials and integrate them into one system. They would cut off the Department of Commanders and Envoys, leaving only the Department of Chief Envoys and the Department of Inspectors. It was also made clear that the chiefs of these two departments were
A subordinate of the governor.
Then the various Taoists were integrated. It was no longer this Tao or that Tao, and the Tao's jurisdiction was completely different. Instead, a formal Tao level was defined directly between the prefecture and the province.
However, this Dao is somewhat different from a province or a prefecture. A patrol is similar to a governor, but it focuses more on supervision. Therefore, the Dao is actually a virtual Dao, similar to the Thirteen Prefecture Governors of the Han Dynasty.
The general secretary is in charge of the specific civil affairs and judicial affairs of a province, while the governor is in charge of the general affairs.
The prefect is in charge of the specific civil affairs and justice of a prefecture, while the sub-inspection station is in charge of several prefectures.
They are not directly responsible for specific affairs, but have overall overall responsibility.
This will clarify the system and avoid confusing responsibilities. Secondly, it will also help strengthen the authority of the governor as a senior official and strengthen the supervision of local prefectures and counties, especially those departments with specific affairs, which will be more conducive to professional guidance and management of affairs.
The Chief Envoy was originally a high-ranking official, but now he has actually become a standing senior official in charge of civil affairs, money and food, and the Inspector-General is a senior official in charge of criminal justice.
The sub-inspector is directly under the jurisdiction of the governor, and directly manages the various prefectures in the province for the governor, while each department vertically manages related professional affairs, such as water conservancy, salt law, relay, water transportation, coastal defense, etc.
"It really needs to be clear."
Zhu Yihai nodded, "It turns out that the cabinet's bachelors are only fifth-rank officials, the governors and governors are temporary, and the Taoist priests are even more confused. We really need to make unified adjustments to adapt to the new situation."
"The great scholar should be changed to the first grade, which is the highest grade along with the Three Dukes."
"The six ministers were promoted from the second grade to the first grade, which is the same grade as Sangu. The censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan is also the first grade."
"The governors of each province are of the second rank, the same rank as the third master of the third division of the East Palace, and the right censor is the second rank."
"The governors of each province are of the second rank, the same rank as the ministers and admirals of the six ministries."
"The chief envoys and inspectors of each province are all designated as Zhengsan, and the chief military officer of each town is also Zhengsan. The left and right deputy censors of the Duchayuan, the general envoys, and the ministers of the five temples are all Zhengsan."
"Taoist, the deputy general is Congsan."
"The censor of the capital, the deputy general envoy, Shaoqing, the head of the sixth section of the Duchayuan, the governor, the counselor, the fourth rank."
"Bachelor of the Cabinet, Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Bachelor of Lectureship, Imperial College Scholar, Fourth Rank of Guerrilla."
"Tongzhi, the six subjects are assigned to Shizhong, and the fifth rank is guarded."
······
The sixth rank is general judge, Qianzong, the seventh rank is county magistrate, the general is the general, the eighth rank is county magistrate, the exhortation, and the ninth rank is chief bookkeeper.
The Grand Scholar no longer holds the post of Six Ministers, but directly changes from the fifth rank to the first rank, the highest rank.
The governor-general and the governor no longer hold the positions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of War, because these two official positions have become formal local official positions. Their responsibilities have clearly stated that they have the power to supervise officials and supervise the military, and their grades are also the second grade and the second grade.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The chief envoy was demoted from the second grade to the third grade, and the Taoist priests no longer used concurrent titles to determine their grade, but directly made it clear that they were from the third grade.
Even from Zhu Yihai's new grades, we can see a lot of things. The governor and the minister are of the same rank, but the governor is one level lower than the minister. In this way, the ministers and ministers in the court are higher than the local governors and governors, and the governors are lower than the governors.
The political envoy is high, and the chief envoy has a high score.
Then the magistrate may be promoted to the Taoist platform, the Taoist platform is promoted to Bu'an, the Bu'an is promoted to the governor, the governor is promoted to the minister, the minister is promoted to the governor, the governor is promoted to the minister, and the minister is promoted to the bachelor.
Of course, the actual situation may be more complicated. For example, if they are both governors, but they may be governors of remote and weaker provinces, they will be promoted to governors of larger provinces first.
But no matter what, this does clarify a new system.
Since King Lu took charge of the country, there are basically no rules and regulations for appointing officials. A scholar may be directly appointed to the magistrate, and a common person may worship the commander-in-chief.
A minister may also serve as chief assistant.
But after all, it was special before, and now it must slowly get back on track.
Otherwise it will be a complete mess.
It is normal for the chief envoy to be demoted. After all, he was a high-ranking official before and is now a high-ranking official. It is also normal for a bachelor to be promoted from the fifth rank to the first rank. After all, the cabinet bachelor is now in charge.
Although the admiral is of the same rank as the governor, he is actually subject to the control of the governor. Of course, it is only control, just like the governor is also subject to the control of the governor. However, they are responsible for their respective affairs and are not in a direct superior-subordinate relationship.
In fact, this means retaining mutual checks and balances to avoid the possibility of excessive supervisory power and the possibility of excluding the central government.
The admiral is in charge of the battalions of a province, but the governor, admiral, and sub-inspector all have direct battalions. However, regardless of whether they are the admiral, the governor, the governor, or the sub-inspector, in addition to directly mobilizing their own pacesmen, they also have other battalions.
You must first obtain authorization from the Ministry of War before you have the right to transfer.
It is precisely for this reason that the Fifth Army Commander's Office was also abolished this time.
Because some of the functions and powers of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies, such as commanding troops, have ceased to exist in name only. At the central level, most of them were relegated to the Ministry of War and the Supervisor of the State. At the local level, they were taken away by the governors, governors, and admirals, and there were no military households in the local areas.
There's no point in keeping it.
"The post of governor of western Zhejiang was changed, and the governor of western Zhejiang, Chen Zilong, was changed to the governor of Zhejiang."
"Ruan Dacheng is appointed as the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang Province."
"Ma Shiying was appointed as Ningshaotai Branch Patrol."
"The governor of Zhejiang, Yu Yingjin, the bachelor of Dongge University, is no longer the governor of Zhejiang, and the governor of Beijing, Wang Zhiren, has moved to the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang."
"The former governor of eastern Zhejiang was abolished, and Huang Zongxi, the former governor of eastern Zhejiang, was moved to the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"
Finally, Zhu Yihai did not forget to add a special addition, that is, a special governor of the Beijing Camp and a member of the Rongzheng Shangshu will jointly command the Beijing camp and not belong to the Ministry of War.
The imperial camps stationed in the capital and in various places are commanded by the admirals of the three armies of the imperial camps and the commander-in-chief of each town. They are not under the direct jurisdiction of the governors and cooperate with each other in case of war.
This article was especially added to ensure the power of the central court, especially the emperor.
Otherwise, with the huge power currently in the hands of local governors, if the armies of all provinces are under their control, then there will inevitably be a mutual guarantee between the southeast and the like. Wouldn't it be a Barbie Q?
Zhu Yihai's imperial camp was modeled after the Beiya Shence Army in the late Tang Dynasty. It was completely different from the Ming Dynasty's Beijing camp. The imperial camp had to be in his own hands, and it had to be a different system from the imperial camp.
of.
Only in this way can we check and balance each other. In times of trouble, emperors often fail to send imperial decrees out of Beijing or mobilize the army. There are many problems, but a large part of the reason is that in the last days, generals often have soldiers, and even money, food and equipment do not rely on the imperial court to provide them.
That's why they can disobey orders.
Regarding the division of southern Zhili into provinces mentioned by Song Zhipu, Zhu Yihai thought for a while and felt that it would be more appropriate to divide the provinces according to the later generations, dividing them upstream and downstream, rather than north and south of the Yangtze River. Although the north and south of the Yangtze River seemed to have the Yangtze River,
The boundary is more natural, but from the perspective of the interlocking method, a major rule of political division, this is not conducive to governance, so it is more beneficial to build up the two sides of the Taiwan Strait by one province upstream and downstream.
"Anhui Province is made up of Anqing Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture, each with a word for Anqing Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture for the upper reaches, and Jiangsu Province is called Jiangning and Suzhou for the lower reaches." Zhu Yihai was lazy and directly used doctrine.
"I suggest that in the east section of Hongze Lake, the section where the Yellow River meets the sea should be used as the boundary. Haizhou and Xuzhou to the north of the Yellow River should be divided into Anhui Province, and Huaiyang and Huaiyang to the south of the Yellow River should be divided into Jiangsu." Chen Qianfu suggested.
