The sage Zhao Yumin waited until the court meeting on the first day of May to bring out the reform strategy he had discussed with Wenqi in the Li Palace, causing thousands of waves to rise.
There is a shortage of officials and herdsmen in Daqian, but half of the officials in Daqian are idle. This is intolerable to Zhao Yumin. It took Daqian a hundred years to clean up the mess left by Daqi before stabilizing the border.
This time Tubo wanted to attack Jiannan Road, which reminded Zhao Yumin that although the border army was strong, it could not protect every inch of the border area.
There were dozens and hundreds of troops from various factions, but there was no standing commander. This made Daqian extremely passive. Every time, he had to recruit generals from Chang'an and then go to the local area to lead the troops. This time, if Zhao Zaixiao had not learned about the Tubo people in advance, When we move eastward, the entire Jiannan Road may be reduced to scorched earth.
Therefore, Zhao Yumin was very determined to reform the system this time. After a full month of quarreling in the court, the decision was finally made.
The first changes were made in the three provinces. The previous Zhongshu Ling, Shizhong, and Shangshu Ling had their names changed, their responsibilities remained unchanged, and their ranks were slightly changed.
Zhongshu Ling of Zhongshu Province was changed to Right Chancellor, and the third rank was responsible for drafting edicts and political orders respectively. Zhongshu Sheren drafted many copies of the imperial edict, and then the Right Chancellor or Zhongshu Shilang selected one and slightly polished it to become a formal edict. , then the emperor drew a word "imperial edict" to become the emperor's order, and finally issued it to the province.
The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was changed to the Prime Minister of the Left, the third rank, and reviewed the government orders. The emperor's order issued by the Ministry of Public Affairs must be reviewed. If the review fails, it will be sent back to the Ministry of Public Affairs with an annotation. If the review passes, it will be returned to the Ministry of Public Security. The edict must be signed by the left prime minister or the minister, and then be sent to the Minister of Finance for execution.
The Shangshu Order of the Shangshu Province was changed to the Prime Minister, the second rank, executing government orders, and the prime minister of the six departments. Below him are the left and right servants, from the second rank. The left servant shoots the officials, households, and the three departments of rites, and the right servant shoots the soldiers and punishes. Ministry of Industry 3.
The six departments, nine temples and five prisons remained unchanged.
Each province set up a government, and each government established a propaganda envoy, a recruiting envoy and a supervisory envoy.
The observation envoy is in charge of civil affairs, the recruitment envoy is in charge of military administration, and the supervisory envoy is in charge of supervision. All three envoys are of the third rank.
A prefecture has a governor, who is the chief executive of a state. Each state has one person, and its rank varies from the third to the fourth rank according to the level of the state - each state is based on its status, the size of its jurisdiction, and the number of household registrations. The level of taxation is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower: households with more than 50,000 are called Shangzhou, households with more than 30,000 are called Zhongzhou, and households with more than 10,000 are called Xiazhou.
The governor of Shangzhou is in the third rank, the governor of Zhongzhou is in the fourth rank and above, and the governor of Xiazhou is in the fourth rank and in the lower rank.
The officials under the governor include: Chang Shi is the assistant officer of the governor of the state, Sima is in charge of the city and defense armies, recorders and military officers are in charge of assessment documents and books, supervises the seals, and corrects the mistakes of state and county officials.
Further down, there are various departments, including Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Tian, Si Bing, Judiciary, Si Shi and Military Affairs, etc., and the number of staff increases and decreases at different times. In the middle, Xiazhou's subordinate officers are imitated in Shangzhou, but not all Set.
When Su Ce caught up with the King of Shu's motorcade, the three envoys of each province and the officials of the Taoist government went through the Ministry of Personnel to select officials, and the saints awarded seals and rushed to each route.
Some people were promoted, and others were demoted. Officials with bad records were demoted and appointed. However, even so, only 30% of the idle officials who stayed in Beijing were sent out.
As for the way out for the remaining 70% of officials, the sage Zhao Yumin has not touched them for the time being.
When the saint proposed the restructuring, the civil servants were a little uneasy for a while, but when it was officially implemented at the end of the month, the opposition voices suddenly subsided.
The four major frontier armies are almost ready, but the restructuring of the Daqian frontier army and the Forbidden Army has also been put on the agenda by the saint Zhao Yumin.
Zhechong Mansion is the foundation of Daqian's country. This is unshakable. The nobles have already taken the lead to go to various provinces to train troops.
As for the previous adjustments to the various military offices, it has also been clarified that the Dufufu and the Dudufu are for offense, and the Dudufu is for defence.
The Duhufu set up a government, city or town (Shouchu city or pass town), garrison and fortress.
The governor's office consists of prefectures, prefectures, and counties.
There are not too many changes in these, but there are clear regulations on the Xiang army. In the past, the Xiang army was mostly recruited soldiers, including many elites, but the recruitment conflicted with the Fu army system.
The Xiang army must be strictly divided. After all, after the Taoist government is put in place, in order to prevent the three envoys from overestimating their own strength and losing the tail, in addition to the government soldiers taking turns, the Xiang army that can be recruited freely can no longer recruit troops from now on.
However, the defense of local prefectures and counties is indispensable for the Xiang army. Therefore, as the gap in the number of soldiers in the government increases, Zhechong Prefecture increases a lot. After all, Zhechong Prefecture has always been able to be abandoned at any time.
However, the officials had doubts about this, and finally reduced the military equipment. Now that Zhechong Mansion was added, the military equipment was undoubtedly increased.
The handling of the Xiang army became extremely difficult. Duke Jiang Bu of Qi took a step back and ordered the candidate soldiers of the Chongfu to be deployed in surrounding prefectures and counties in the first year. Banditry can also be used to train troops.
In addition, it can also give the soldiers time to get married. Daqian men can get married at the age of 16, choose the front line at the 17th day, take turns at the local area at 18th day, and take turns at the 19th day as a frontier army for two years, and then choose to stay in the frontier army, or go to the forbidden army and return to The local government serves as a military force.
In the past, after a soldier was selected as a frontman, he could have one hundred acres of Yongye fields. However, the soldiers could only return to their hometown if they died in battle, were disabled and retired, or took turns at the age of fifty-five. In these three situations, these Yongye fields could be acquired. It falls into one's own hands and does not need to be returned to the state.
This has been the case for hundreds of years, so being a soldier does not mean that after being a soldier for a few years, you can get these 80 acres of Yongye land for nothing.
During the career of a soldier, he must undergo an assessment every five years. Many soldiers failed the assessment and gave up their status as soldiers. This also meant that not a single acre of the eighty acres of Yongye land fell into their hands. , so for ordinary soldiers, they cannot get meritorious service when they are young, and then when they get older, they will not see any way out.
This is the sorrow of the soldiers and the shame of the nobles.
Obviously Duke Jiang Bu of Qi is planning to make a fuss about this.
He proposed to advise that the eighty acres of Yongye land previously granted by the soldiers, plus the Yongye land originally owned by everyone, totaled one hundred acres. Now, the eighty acres of Yongye land should be reduced to forty acres. An additional forty acres of land will be added. As long as you are still a soldier in the government, you will have these forty acres of land.
This is definitely unacceptable to the soldiers. After all, half of the Yongye field was cut off at once.
But Jiang Bu had obviously already thought of this.
For those who died in battle, forty acres of land became permanent land.
For the disabled, only 20 acres of the 40 acres of land will be returned to the disabled, and the remaining 20 acres of land will be converted into permanent land.
The soldiers of the government can retire at the age of forty, and they can get forty acres of permanent land, and they don't have to be fifty-five years old.
Although this is likely to greatly reduce the number of soldiers in the current army, Jiang Bu believes that this is a pain that Daqian soldiers must go through.
Da Qian built the country with force, and force was the government soldiers. Now the first step in the military restructuring is to attack the government soldiers.
The loss of forty acres of Yongye farmland undoubtedly alleviated the decrease in the number of official farmland due to land grant every year. The Minister of Household Affairs was the first to stand up and support Qi Guogong Jiang Bu's advice.
And closely followed were many nobles. After all, the status of nobles came from the battlefield, and no one wanted to have their subordinates be all old soldiers with gray beards and hair.
In fact, how many people can live to be fifty-five, let alone in the army. Every year, the sun and rain on the road and the hard work of guarding are unbearable for older people. How many old soldiers have not died? On the battlefield, he died of illness on the road and in the camp.
Most of the troops lost during the march were old soldiers like this. Should I exchange my life for eighty acres of Yongye field, or should I get forty acres of Yongye field at the age of forty? Everyone can choose the answer to this exchange.
This remonstrance was quickly turned into an edict and was promulgated to the world in early June.
By this time, Su Ce had followed King Shu to Yizhou.
