7. Huaihai Jiangdong Province
In general, the Xingzhong Secretariat system replaced the original vassal system. The biggest difference is that the original Jiedushi was the chief officer who was united by local military and political affairs. He had a strong separatist color. Some were loyal to the court and paid taxes, while the part was unfaithful to the court and did not pay taxes. The Xingzhong Secretariat was essentially the central prime minister group and the inspection agency sent to various regions. Of course, the reason for this was that Gao Yue, Du You and even Wei Gao Fang Yue were willing to merge the power in his hands with the central government of the court: the core of the Xingzhong Secretariat system was "one province, one office", which means that a Xingzhong Secretariat had only one highest official office, which was managed by the foreign prime minister. In this case,
His power is all-encompassing in the province, and all the governors and county magistrates obey him, thus ensuring centralization; in addition, there is another one, which is "controlling officials". Although the prime minister of the Xingzhong Secretariat has great power, there are also restrictions. This restriction comes from two aspects. One is that the court will send assistant officials (sponsored to the political affairs) and "continuous discussions" with him. While assisting, there is also a meaning of supervision. The second is that the prime minister of the Xingzhong Secretariat has a term limit, which lasts for five or ten years. Then it is transferred or returned to the court to the "Political Affairs Hall" under the Zhongshu. His descendants and subordinates have no right to ask for royal courts, and the successor is also finalized by the prime minister of the Zhengzhong Secretariat.
In terms of finance, Lu Zhi said to the emperor:
After that, the national economy was divided into three levels, namely, the three departments of the imperial court were the highest, the Secretariat of the Xingzhongshu Province was the second level, and the local prefectures and counties were the third level. The third level finance had to publish books of "out" and "enter" every year, and the two taxes were continued to be divided into three levels, one was "upper offering", the other was "liu (shu (shu) province", and the other was "liuzhou". The surplus was increased over the years, and the full amount and debt were reviewed by the three departments of the imperial court. Of course, the emperor used the Nanku, and the three departments would be assigned on time every year. Please rest assured.
The provincial military system is divided into two levels, one is "manager and leader" and the other is "Zhoujun" (some Fangzhens at the level of political affairs of the Xingzhong Secretariat, only Zhenjun). The former is equal to the Wuyi Army of Huaihai Province. The two armies mobilized the Yufu directly controlled the Secretariat (or the Secretariat) of the Xingzhong Secretariat, and others are not allowed to handle it. Later, the Xuanfu envoy was responsible for the front line conquest, and the marching Sima was responsible for daily training and logistics. As for sending troops, the power to mobilize troops was all under the hands of the prime minister of the Xingzhong Secretariat.
This was the beginning of the military and political divestment. Lu Zhi's long-term plan was to organize the Guan Ling army around the capital into an army directly under the central government of the imperial court. The Xingzhong Secretariat in the border area retained the Guan Ling army and the garrison army. However, the hinterland in the hinterland simply retained only the Zhenjun army. "Today, the Xiadu Branch has raised a total of 750,000 troops. If the Xingzhong Secretariat has been implemented for ten years, it is hoped that it can be reduced to 400,000 to 500,000, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and seek to make excellent military and armor, be able to be deployed effectively, and have a navy fleet."
As for the central organization that manages the army, Lu Zhi said that he is still in a good opinion.
After Yanying Palace wrote a case, the emperor felt as if he was depressed. He knew that the prime minister group of this country had abandoned him and began to independently form institutions that could be centralized, local, military, political, internal and external. What kind of discussions and discussions are all about, and only I am isolated from this circle.
In addition, the emperor also understood that when the selection of officials, these prime ministers had reached an agreement with the local powerful faction such as Gao Yue. The sixth rank was still "authorized" and the selection was given to the Ministry of Personnel. However, the prime minister of the Xingzhong Secretariat also had a quota for "selecting people", which was called "provincial selection". From the fifth rank to the third rank, they were directly sent to the government office to "exist" and that is, the prime minister wrote a list and handed over to the emperor for approval. As usual, the prime minister recommended it as the prime minister, and then the emperor was "provinced". However, at this point, the emperor was often just a stamp.
Although the emperor also had the right to speak and inspect state affairs during the Yanying Palace summons, this power was already very weak.
The content of the invitation was very long, but with the clear and meticulous explanations of the prime ministers, the emperor had to "understand":
In the end, the emperor's hand was bitten by hundreds of ants, numb, painful and burning. The tip of the pen trembled in his eyes. He tried hard to control it with his gaze, but the tip of the pen was too thin, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred. When the emperor finished writing "Yu Riying", he found that his originally beautiful calligraphy had become much more crooked and distorted.
The emperor put his pen and leaned back on the rope bed, almost exhausted. How the prime ministers shouted to him was almost unable to hear his ears, and he was sagging there, for too long.
After the edict from the Xingzhong Secretariat was conveyed from the Daming Palace, there was also good news: the emperor accepted the talisman of the world and was willing to be the Fengshan Huayue in the coming year!
After all, if the palace of Daming Palace caught fire for no reason and Fu Rui died for no reason, the emperor might have to issue a self-destruction.
So the court and the people were all happy, hoping that the Holy Lord Emperor's Fengshan could truly bring peace to the world.
In the Political Affairs Hall, when the prime ministers met, they decided to first implement the "Huaihai Xingzhongshu Province" in Huainan, and then merge Xuanshe, western Zhejiang and eastern Zhejiang to become the "Jiangdong Xingzhongshu Province". The latter was promoted to Wang Wei, the former Zhejiang West Observer, to "Pingzhangshi, the Minister of the Jiangdong Xingzhongshu Province". The former Xuanshu Observer Liu Zan and Zhejiang East Observer Li Ruochu were the deputy governor of Jiangdong Province, responsible for assisting the affairs of the provincial prime minister and the governor of the provincial prime minister no longer served as the governor. Gao Yue's various departments of the Xingzhongshu Province were set up by Gao Yue himself, using these two provinces as experiments. Once stable, they would then be implemented in the five roads of Eyue, Shandong East Road, Jingnan, Hunan, Fujian, and Jiangnan West Road.
As winter begins, the merger of Jiangdong Province is in trouble.
Wang Wei gathered the chief officials, the wards of various departments and the governors of various states to discuss matters in the temporary offices of the province. The first thing to do was to finalize the location of the "Huifu" of the province (formerly called the capital, the natural institute, the military prefecture and the prefecture were often combined. After that, the Central Nuclear Corporation of the province was called Huifu, abbreviated as the provincial capital) - The governor of Hangzhou said that 100,000 households in Hangzhou should have the prefecture in Hangzhou; while the governor of Suzhou did not do it, he said that the entire Jiangzuo tax was under a lot of taxes, and it should be located in Suzhou; the governor of Mingzhou said that the town naval garrison was in my place, and the largest good port was also in my place, and Huifu should be my Mingzhou; the governor of Changzhou said that you are all fallacies, and the transport of the imperial court was all from my Jingkou, so do you still want to establish your own business?
Wang Wei was interested in moving his mansion to Jinling in Shangyuan, Changzhou, but was flocked to question and opposition. "The location of Jinling is unknown. Changzhou said it is from Changzhou, Xuanzhou said it is from Xuanzhou, and it is also ambiguous with Hezhou, Huaihai Province, Chuzhou, which is really ambiguous!"
After such a fierce debate for half a month, it was Wang Wei and Liu Zan of Zuo's family. Li Ruochu used his power and made a decision directly: the provincial capital of Jiangzuo, and then it was in Stone City, Jinling.
However, in the Huaihai Province, there is no such debate. Gao Yue is the sky, and whatever he says is what he says.
So Gao Yue directly invited Liu Deshi, the secretary of the court, to serve as the provincial governor, to serve as the provincial governor, and Wu Yuanheng, the former governor of Caizhou, to serve as another governor, to serve as the other governor!
