Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The former Zuo Buzheng of Jiangsu was called Gan Tangshu, a scholar in Fengcheng County, Jiangxi.

    If you only look at the growth rate of population and taxation, he has made remarkable achievements in Jiangsu.  No one can make a mistake, and Zhao Han also can't make a mistake, so he was transferred back to the central center for promotion, and directly became the left servant of the Ministry of Commerce - the grade was lowered by one level, but it was a real promotion.

    Gan Tangshu went through the appointment formalities, went to the palace to meet the emperor, and went to call on Yu Shiqin the next day.

    The left servant of the Ministry of Commerce actually took the initiative to call on the right servant of the Ministry of Industry!

    ? After being used by Li Rixuan to be arrogant all day long, Yu Shiqin was able to maintain his sanity after a full year.  But those who are really familiar with him can already feel the change, Yu Shiqin's words are becoming more and more impolite.

    The two belonged to old friends for many years. After exchanging pleasantries, Gan Tangshu asked: "Regard cousin, Brother Yu was transferred back to Beijing, and His Majesty let Xu Ying succeed him in Jiangsu. What does this mean? Xu Ying used to be in charge of the 'Jinyiwei'  !"

    Yu Shiqin also frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't understand. Your Majesty has always hidden deep meaning in his actions. Could it be that he is dissatisfied with Jiangsu's officialdom? But in Jiangsu Province, the number of household registrations is increasing day by day, business and commerce are booming, culture and education are flourishing, and there are so many taxes.  What made His Majesty unhappy? After thinking about it, we may be overthinking. Your Majesty simply wants to promote Xu Ying, let him take charge of the government first, and then transfer back to the imperial court as Minister."

    "I hope so." Gan Tangshu was still a little uneasy.

    Both of them felt that the situation in Jiangsu was very good, and they couldn't find any loopholes.

    Yu Shiqin said: "Imperial departments need a major adjustment, and the plan has come out. From now on, there will be the cabinet, eight ministries, two courts, one government, one party, and twelve cao.  The minister will join the cabinet as prime minister." Yu Shiqin laughed, "I'm also going to move from the right servant to the left servant."

    Gan Tangshu cupped her fists and said, "Congratulations brother!"

    ?Eight departments: officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishment, industry, commerce, and finance.

    Two Houses: Inspectorate and National Security Council.

    One line: Datong Bank.

    ?One Mansion: The Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Sixth Army.

    Twelve Caos: Corresponding to the eight ministries, two courts, one line and one government respectively.

    This is the complete system of the Datong New Dynasty, unless major problems are encountered, Zhao Han will not adjust it in the future.

    Of course, fine-tuning will be done. Since the generals are all powerful, we can only let the civilian officials suppress the generals from the system, and even so, it is a bit overwhelming.  With the transfer of a group of honorable military generals back to the central government, the generals will be given more power from the system in the future. Anyway, try to achieve a balance between civil and military affairs.

    Yu Shiqin said in a low voice: "Your Majesty intends to form a team for the Eastern Palace."

    "East Palace?" Gan Tangshu's eyes lit up.

    Yu Shiqin nodded and said, "The prince is already thirteen years old."

    Gan Tangshu asked: "Your Majesty has always been unconventional in doing things. Does this East Palace official position follow the pre-Ming system, or are there any new rules?"

    Yu Shiqin said: "It basically follows the previous Ming Dynasty."

    The official position of the East Palace in the Ming Dynasty was not established by Zhu Yuanzhang casually, but the most appropriate method carefully formulated by summarizing the experience of previous dynasties.

    The core point is to let the important officials of the court concurrently serve as the official position of the prince.

    This approach is to ease the conflict between the emperor and the prince, so as to avoid the situation where the prince seizes the throne.  Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for the prince to rebel, because the prince has no ability to rebel.

    The disadvantage is that the official position in the East Palace is gradually becoming virtual, and it has become an honorary position and a springboard for promotion.

    Because Zhu Houzhao had no son, the official position in the East Palace was completely emptied.  After Jiajing succeeded to the throne, he deliberately did not change this status quo, and even eliminated the "Prince Supervising the Country".  At that time, Jiajing's son was only four or five years old, and the Daoist couldn't tolerate it at all

    On the sixth day after Xu Ying went to Jiangsu to take office, at the court meeting, Zhao Han announced the establishment of the East Palace Official.

    The prince's six Fu, follow the old rules unchanged.

    ? That is to say, from the first-rank Prince Taishi, Prince Taifu, and Prince Taibao, from the second-rank Prince Shaoshi, Prince Shaofu, and Prince Shaobao.

    These six official positions are mostly awarded to important cabinet ministers or courtiers who have made great contributions.  It is not only an honorary position bestowed on the courtiers, but also allows the ministers to be the teachers in name of the prince. It is the lubricant between the emperor and the prince, and also the lubricant to ensure the smooth transfer of imperial power.

    With the crown prince Liu Fu in charge, there will be no such thing as the emperor being seriously ill and ministers colluding with the prince to seize the throne.

    Next, is the actual official position.

    The prince's guests are the third grade, teaching the prince etiquette, and advising the prince on his mistakes.

    ?Scholar of the Wenhuadian University, fifth grade, part-time member of the cabinet, tutoring the prince to familiarize himself with government affairs, and responsible for the education of the prince.??Happy to hear.  There is also how Li Shimin did Tian Khan, and how majestic he was in the war, the prince also liked it very much.  "

    Zhang Dai suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty entrusted the Hanlin Academy with an errand to compile "The Pros and Cons of Land Administration in Past Dynasties".

    Hu Mengtai said: "I asked, and most of the writing has been completed. During the writing process, the Imperial Academy made new discoveries. For example, the death of the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty was also related to the collapse of Tianzheng."

    Zhang Dai felt very strange: "The collapse of Tianzheng is nothing more than serious land annexation. There is only the second emperor in the Sui Dynasty, so land annexation should not be serious, right?"

    Hu Mengtai said: "Although the Sui Dynasty was only the second generation, it was too easy to win the country, and too few gentry were killed in the north. The historians of the Imperial Academy found that the population and household registration of the Sui Dynasty increased, and the cultivated area increased at a rapid rate.  It's outrageous."

    Zhang Dai said: "Perhaps they came to investigate the hidden households in the hidden fields."

    Hu Mengtai said: "It is true that we are investigating hidden fields and hidden households, but it is still too unimaginable, and it lasts for a very long time. The historian of the Imperial Academy has probably guessed the truth. Emperor Sui Yang was very happy.  They are all exaggerations, but Emperor Sui Yang took it seriously. With so many empty populations and acres of land, of course taxes must be collected. In order to complete the task, local officials cannot collect taxes from the big clan, and can only be counted on the common people.¡±

    "On the one hand, the aristocratic families do not pay taxes, and on the other hand, the common people double the tax. How can the common people bear it? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also wanted to build warehouses.  If it is taken away, not only will there be no relief during the disaster year, but it will not even be able to be circulated in the market. Once a natural disaster occurs, no grain can be bought at all, and local heroes will make trouble. Whoever dares to open a warehouse to release grain will win the hearts of the people"  </div&gt
