Liao Yingzhong's guess is basically correct. I am indeed dividing the power of various ministries. Whether it is the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, Bank of China, and other new departments that will be established in the future, they all have this purpose. Of course, with the development of society,
With development, the division of labor becomes more and more detailed, and departments will naturally become dispersed. This is one of the reasons.
What I am targeting is not just Jia Sidao, but the current entire bureaucracy.
In troubled times like the late Song Dynasty, I firmly believe that only a strong dictatorship can reverse the current unfavorable situation. How can the imperial power, the only powerful power, be restrained by the power of the prime minister and the power of the queen? Only a strong and powerful government can lead the world.
The Song Dynasty fought against the Mongols and moved toward ZTE. Only in this way could the development of the Chinese nation avoid a downward turning point.
Royal Palace Hall.
Xiao Qi shouted loudly: "Xuan Lu Duke Zhao Kui enters the palace."
Zhao Kui, a royal family member, was a Confucian general in the Southern Song Dynasty. He lived through the five dynasties of Xiaozong, Guangzong, Ningzong, Lizong, and Duzong. He ran the army as a Confucian minister throughout his life and made outstanding contributions to the peace of the Southern Song Dynasty. He served successively as Zhongdafu, Zuo Xiaoqi General, and Huawen Dianzhi.
Bachelor, Huaidong pacification envoy, Hunan pacification envoy, bachelor of Zizhengdian Palace, Fujian pacification envoy, privy envoy and minister of political affairs, prime minister and privy envoy, etc., currently serving in Beijing.
"Your Majesty Zhao Kui, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
"Ai Qing, I am in peace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Kui was two years older than He Ji. He was nearly eighty years old. He had white hair and a tall build. He was calm and powerful. He was a good veteran. Even if Lian Po was still alive, he would be nothing more than that.
It was not that there were no capable people in the late Song Dynasty, it was just that they were under the hands of the faint king, who could and could not.
"My dear, please give me a seat."
I saw that Zhao Kui was about to kneel down to thank him again, so I quickly stopped him and said, "Old dear, I grant you the gift of exemption from kneeling. From today on, you don't have to kneel down to see me."
Zhao Kui burst into tears and said excitedly: "Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty."
Being exempted from kneeling and being given a seat at court was a great honor in ancient times. Zhao Kui had been through five generations and received such a gift in his later years. Naturally, he burst into tears of gratitude. Just like He Ji back then, he was also extremely excited.
"My dear, are you feeling well?"
"Your Majesty, this veteran is as good as Lian Po, and he is still capable of making a living."
"Okay, that's good, Zhao Kui accepts the title." I said with a smile, "Agriculture is the foundation of our dynasty. I want to establish the Ministry of Agriculture. I will now appoint you as the first Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture. You will be promoted to Shaofu and receive the first rank.
"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The young master is one of the nine ministers among the "three ministers and nine ministers", which is slightly lower than the three ministers of the first rank. For example, Jia Sidao, the grand master, belongs to the first rank. The young master is also a sinecure and does not have much real power.
"Old dear, although I have entrusted you with the important responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture, you only need to grasp the direction and never be too detailed. Just let the people below do the specific work. The court does not have suitable people for the time being.
Please love me to come out and help."
"Your Majesty, I have been depriving you of my royal salary for decades, so I will repay you. I will do my best to serve the court."
"Okay, Zhao Aiqing is always strong and strong, and he is worthy of being a role model for all officials in our court. I have already written down the details of the Ministry of Agriculture in this booklet. You can take a look first. If there is anything unclear, we can discuss it later."
Zhao Kui took the yellow book from Xiao Qi and said, "Yes, your Majesty, don't worry."
Historically, Zhao Kui died in Hunan in the second year of Xianchun. I left him in the capital, wondering if I could extend his lifespan? Maybe it was because I knew Zhao Fu's original lifespan, so I also hoped that these veterans would change their destiny with me.
I suddenly thought of the physical examination in future generations and shouted: "Xiao Qi."
"The little one is here."
"The Imperial Physician Order was issued to establish a physical examination system for courtiers. For ministers over fifty years old in our dynasty, the Imperial Physician Order will send people to establish health records for them and conduct regular physical examinations once a year. For ministers over sixty years old, they will be examined every six months. For ministers over seventy years old,
Ministers over 20 years old will be inspected every three months to ensure the health of the ministers in the DPRK and the DPRK. The detailed plan will be drawn up by the Imperial Medical Order. I plan to gradually promote this method and eventually form a system that will cover all officials and people in our DPRK.
"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After hearing this, the ministers in the palace also said with gratitude: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
"This is another stroke of genius by the emperor. The physical examination seems simple and does not require a lot of effort, but it shows the emperor's concern for the courtiers. It is a classic." Liao Yingzhong couldn't help but glance at Jia Sidao, feeling a mixture of sadness and joy in her heart. The emperor
I am very happy to care about the courtiers, but the emperor is becoming more and more powerful, and sooner or later he will have to go toe-to-toe with the grand master. The chance of winning by the grand master is decreasing day by day.
"Yang Dong listens."
Yang Dong, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out and said: "I am here."
"Yang Aiqing, I will move you from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Ministry of Agriculture as the right minister, assist Zhao Aiqing in establishing the Ministry of Agriculture, and transfer all the agricultural departments under the original Ministry of Household Affairs to the Ministry of Agriculture."
"Your Majesty Yang Dong obeys the order."
Yang Dong once served as Prince Zhan Shi. He was in his prime and never formed any party for personal gain. He was considered a typical centrist.
"Chen Yizhong." I continued the arrangements for the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, "I appoint you as the doctor of the Ministry of Agriculture, acting as the left assistant minister, with the title of third grade, and cooperating with Zhao Aiqing to establish the Ministry of Agriculture. You will also hold the original position."
"I obey the decree."
Although Chen Yizhong is a two-faced man, he still has abilities. Unlike Liao Yingzhong, he is Jia Sidao's best friend. Even I dare to use Liao Yingzhong, let alone Chen Yizhong.
"Zhao Aiqing, Yang Aiqing, Chen Aiqing, regarding the establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture, you can communicate with Jiang Aiqing and Liao Aiqing of the Ministry of Commerce. They have just established the Ministry of Commerce and have a lot of experience worth learning from."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The three of them said in unison.
"When the Ministry of Agriculture is newly established, all ministries need to cooperate fully. Xiao Qi, a latent lobbyist in Xuan Lin'an Prefecture."
"Yes." Xiao Qi raised her voice and shouted: "Xuan, Lin'an Prefecture's hidden friends come to the palace."
"My dear Qian, when I was talking about rural land planning, it suddenly occurred to me that urban planning should also be put on the agenda. I plan to include urban land planning in the work scope of each state government, with Lin'an as a pilot. I call you here today.
, I just want to hear your thoughts."
"Your Majesty, I have visited Lin'an these past two days and have initially come up with four suggestions, many of which are similar to your Majesty's."
"What are the four points? Let me tell you."
"Your Majesty, the first thing is to make the government more accessible and people-friendly. Lin'an is the largest city in our dynasty with a large population. The first thing is to make the people of Lin'an live and work in peace and contentment. The second thing is to plan the appearance of the city, balance state-owned land and private land, and build more public buildings.
facilities, such as roads, bridges, granaries, storage
Pools, etc.; third, protect the scenic spots and historic sites centered on the West Lake, such as the people I encountered littering, planting water chestnuts, and washing clothes and horses, which will cause a certain degree of pollution damage to the water quality of the West Lake; fourth, serious
Laws and disciplines are used to rectify the atmosphere. Please correct me on the above four points."
Qian Shuoyou's work efficiency is really high. In just a few days, I have a direction. I secretly praise it.
"Qian Ai, I am deeply pleased with your four points. Within the month, you will refine them and submit them to me. I will consider them carefully. Our laws span the world, but the situation varies from place to place. I think,
On the premise that it does not violate the law, each locality can formulate its own local regulations for urban planning."
"Local regulations?"
"Well, for example, your Lin'an Prefecture can prohibit people from washing clothes and horses in West Lake, but in remote mountainous areas, this cannot be done. Local regulations can only apply to that area. This is just an example I gave.
Urban planning cannot be explained in a few words, and the imperial court will gradually
Formulate a series of relevant supporting laws to promote the development of the city. Qian Aiqing, as the prefect of the capital, you have the right to do a pilot project. Of course, after such local regulations are proposed by various state governments, they still need to go through the Ministry of Punishment
Approval must be announced to the local people before a document can be issued for implementation.”
The potential speaker thought for a while and said, "I will think about it carefully after I go back and report it to Your Majesty before this month."
"Well, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture and local urban planning are all new departments and new things. They will definitely encounter many problems and even a lot of resistance in the early stages. You don't have to worry or be anxious. Just focus on the big things.
, face it calmly, explore as you go, and listen to various opinions. As long as it is beneficial to the development of our country and does not violate the law, you can boldly try it."
