1856: Split

The Ming Dynasty court basically does not have the so-called morning dynasty. In Qin Feng's opinion, hundreds of officials of all sizes got up before dawn to attend such so-called morning meetings. Not only did they bother people, but they would not really do anything at all. Instead, they would greatly interfere with the normal office of the day. Therefore, in recent years, in addition to some large-scale celebrations that must be done, the morning dynasty has actually been abolished. The morning dynasty system replaced the morning dynasty system with regular meetings every five days.

At this regular meeting, the emperor and ministers will attend to inform the specific work of the department over the past few days and introduce what work will be done next, which can be completed independently and which need to be completed by other departments. Each department must come up with specific operational plans in advance. After discussing it at this regular meeting, what can be implemented can be immediately entered into the actual operation stage. If there are any doubts, then those who propose plans will continue to improve their own plans and make up for the shortcomings.

Such changes have made many officials, especially those middle and lower-level officials, very happy. For them, this is not only a matter of improving work efficiency, but also has great benefits for their lives.

It is not easy to live in Beijing.

The housing prices in the inner city are now high. Even officials with high salaries are afraid of such housing prices if they don’t have any other business at home. Even if they rent, it makes people feel unbearable. Most middle and lower-level officials are very consciously buying or renting houses in the outer city. The current Yuejing City is not the Yuejing City that was more than ten years ago. The city size has almost doubled. According to the previous court-giving model, these people are afraid that they will have to get up and rush to the imperial city at the fourth day of the 4th anniversary. After attending the morning court, they will disperse to their respective yamen. At this time, everyone is not thinking about how to work, but just lying on the table and sniffing for a while.

It's great now. Going to court has become a business for high-ranking officials, and at least one of the minister-level figures will participate in such an exception. For others, just do their own work step by step.

Of course, there are also a very small number of people who regretted that they had lost the opportunity to soar to the sky because they had lost the opportunity to see the emperor every day.

However, those who hold this idea are an absolute minority. In the Ming Dynasty, there is basically no such soil that someone is attracted to because of something. There is a relatively stable procedure for the appointment and promotion of officials.

Since the beginning of this year, the restructuring of the court system of the Ming Dynasty has been proceeding in an orderly manner. This change has actually been underway, but the steps are not big, and the adjustment of a department is always completed, and then the next step will be carried out after seeing the effect. But this year, the steps suddenly become urgent and fast.

The general explanation is that after two years of rule, Jin Jingnan has completely gained a foothold and began to vigorously implement his governing ideas. However, Jin Jingnan has no excuse for this. Only An Zhiruoyi and the group of people close to the core level know that the people who promote these reforms are actually Emperor Qin Feng, and Jin Jingnan is just an executor.

Of course, if the prime minister was Quan Yun, Qin Feng's reforms would not have been so smooth, but Jin Jingnan had always implemented Qin Feng's meaning without hesitation.

The Ministry of Revenue was changed to the Ministry of Finance this year. The Ministry of Revenue originally left the State Administration of Taxation and the Ministry of Commerce, and this year the General Administration of Civil Affairs was separated from the Ministry of Revenue. According to the emperor's wishes, the Ministry of Revenue, the current Ministry of Finance, and the Ming Taiping Bank, which left the earlier part of the household, the rights of the Ministry of Revenue were repeatedly reduced.

The Censorate was divided into two parts, and part of it became the Ministry of Supervision. The Supervision Office, which was originally affiliated with the Censorate, became the Ministry of State Security. The Ministry of Justice became the Ministry of Justice. The most powerful armed police officer of the Ministry of Justice was cancelled and all were transferred to the newly established police station on the spot.

After giving the local officials above and below the county level, the court deprived the judicial power from the local area. The police station was responsible for solving the case, arresting people, and then submitting the case to the procuratorate under the Ministry of Supervision. The procuratorate decides whether to prosecute, and then handing it over to the court, that is, the Dali Temple in the past for judgment.

After this series of changes, the influence of local governments on violent organs has been reduced to a minimum. Because these local violent organs are not only managed by local authorities, but also managed by their direct superiors.

In everyone's opinion, next, I'm afraid it will take action against the world's largest official.

Now, everyone has seen it clearly. The previous six departments have been broken down into pieces. The result of the split is that the emperor is getting more and more tight in power. However, everyone has to admit that after such dismantling, the efficiency of doing things has indeed improved a lot. Now, the power and responsibility of doing things are clear, and the department is doing things that are broken is clear at a glance. There is no need to take the blame for others.

It was another regular meeting every five days. The senior officials who attended the meeting sat on both sides of the long table, silently sorting out the documents in front of them, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.

At this time, no one made a sound, but many people exchanged their gazes from time to time, some nodding with smiles, and some were flashing with sparks between looking at each other. Naturally, they knew that they would face each other in a while.

The more departments are divided, the more they are divided, and the more they are divided, there are naturally more and more disputes over interests and responsibilities between them.

As the footsteps outside the door became closer, everyone sat up straight. When Eunuch Le took the lead and pushed open the door and walked in, the senior officials on both sides of the table stood up together.

"I've seen Your Majesty."

Qin Feng walked to the top and pressed his hands, "Sit down."

After everyone sat down, Qin Feng coughed softly and said, "I went to visit Mr. Xiao yesterday. The old man had no big problem, but he was old and could no longer bear the burden. I had a plea with the old man. The old man had decided to resign from the position of Minister of Rites and be at home to take care of his old age."

Everyone nodded slightly. Xiao Hua, the Minister of Rites, was almost eighty years old. In this era, it was definitely a rare longevity. His retirement was expected. What is important is that with the retirement of Mr. Xiao, the position of a high-ranking official was vacant. Cheng Weigao, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, who came to the meeting today, had a brighter eyes.

Everyone looked at Qin Feng. Since this matter was mentioned, the emperor naturally had some more details.

"Yesterday, the Prime Minister discussed with me for a long time. Based on the current actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites is preparing to carry out reforms." Qin Feng continued.

Everyone suddenly felt energetic. Everyone thought that the Ministry of Personnel was going to move next, but they didn't expect that the Ministry of Rites would be stabbed first.

"Sincere assistant, tell everyone!" Qin Feng looked at Jin Jingnan on the left.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Jingnan nodded and opened the folder in front of him: "The court is preparing to abolish the Ministry of Rites."

As soon as he said that, the room suddenly became an uproar. No one expected that the result of hearing was the abolition of the Ministry of Rites. He could not help but look at Jin Jingnan in shock.

"The Ministry of Rites is abolished, and the Ministry of Education is in charge of all schools in the Ming Dynasty, from elementary school to university." Jin Jingnan raised his head and looked at everyone. Behind the glasses placed on the bridge of his nose, his eyes were shining brightly, and then said: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in charge of all foreign affairs in the Ming Dynasty and all the rituals of the Ming Dynasty."

This is to divide the Ministry of Rites into two. According to the current division, the Ministry of Education immediately became a hot position. Emperor Qin Feng of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to education. Even if not to mention high-end schools such as the Capital University, Medical College, and Engineering College, even those primary and secondary schools, it is now all over the Ming Dynasty. The money allocated to these schools by the imperial court every year was as high as millions of taels. In contrast, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was much more pitiful because the Ming Dynasty had not much diplomatic work to do now. There was also a Da Qi on this continent, but it was hostile to the Ming Dynasty, and it might start a fight at any time. For example, there were dozens of small countries on Manila, but the Ministry of War and Commerce were always in charge of that place, and now it has become the expected battlefield. In addition to these, how much else does the so-called Ministry of Foreign Affairs do? It has become a clear water yamen.

Jin Jingnan took off his glasses and wiped them, took them back, and continued to recite without any emotion: "The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cheng Weigao, the former Minister of Rites, and the Minister of Education, will be the President of the Peking University, Gao Shang."

After thinking about this, Cheng Weigao, who was present, suddenly raised his head, unable to hide his disappointment.

Jin Jingnan put the folder together, looking at the nose, looking at the heart,

Qin Feng looked at Cheng Weigao and smiled and said, "Minister Cheng, Mr. Xiao is in poor health now, so he will use official duties to disturb him, which will be bad for him. So you have to work harder for the next split. Gao Shang has been working in the Beijing University before, and his familiarity with administrative work is definitely not as good as you. You have to help him more."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Cheng Weigao finally surrendered under Qin Feng's gaze, "I will definitely cooperate with Minister Gao to get this done."

"Very good." Qin Feng nodded. This was also a test for Cheng Weigao. If Cheng Weigao failed, then the next thing waiting for him was to retire. Chen Ye had completely grasped the situation in Yongping County, and Qin Feng could finally relieve his fear of Cheng. But no matter what, Cheng Weigao was also a person who made great contributions in the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. If he could stand in the last squad, Qin Feng would not mind giving him corresponding decency. Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is an empty ambition, it is not accurate in the future. Besides, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is still a member of the Political Affairs Hall in the core leadership of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, today I am going to focus on Ning Zefeng." Seeing that the previous incident had been finalized, the kitten opened the folder in front of him and looked at Qin Fengdao.
