Everything in the Metropolitan Procuratorate was new to Chen Yunfu, but the novelty always ended and Chen Yunfu became idle again.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate that he was asked to stay in really had no serious business.

Shi Pu arranged for Chen Yunfu to join the Zhaomo Office, also known as the archives office, which was the most leisurely and leisurely unit in the entire procuratorate.

The daily work is simply drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

There was a Di newspaper in the early Ming Dynasty, but it was not copied to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. All Chen Yunfu could read were stacks of files that had long since gathered dust.

For example, the Hu Weiyong case caused a sensation throughout the Ming Dynasty!

Also called the Huaixi case.

Hu Weiyong was the spokesperson and a banner figure of the Huaixi Xungui Group. His downfall was not only the execution of his entire family, but also the death of his relatives, disciples and former officials, who could be killed or not.

It's a pity that the native dog from his hometown will never have the chance to serve as a guard dog in the palace.

There are so many files on the Hu Weiyong case that they fill two rooms. In addition to compiling the charges against Hu Weiyong himself, there are also more files on the nearly 20,000 people involved in the case.

Why did he kill so many people?

Chen Yunfu was frightened when he saw it.

In the file, Hu Weiyong was convicted of the crime of treason, and nine tribes were executed. However, the nine tribes of Hu Weiyong combined only had more than 200 people. This case affected more than 20,000 people. Is it possible that more than 20,000 people planned to kill Zhu Yuanzhang?

The opposite?

There are too many files, and there are more doubts. Anyway, Chen Yunfu doesn't understand them very clearly.

I don’t understand and I’m too lazy to ask. There are only fifteen or six people in the entire Zhaomo Department. After the completion of the study, the top leader returned to his hometown of Dingyou. The biggest thing here is the inspection of Yi Zheng Jiupin Yi.

The inspector's surname is also Chen, and he and Chen Yunfu were probably the same family five hundred years ago, called Xinli. They are approaching 40 this year.

Forty years younger, ninth grade, that's how it will be in this life.

After staying in the procuratorate for more than ten days, Chen Yunfu had a basic understanding of the official system of the Ming Dynasty and made a simple conversion.

A first-grade minister is at the national level.

The second and third grades are high officials.

Fourth and fifth grade department and bureau level.

Sixth grade and seventh grade county level.

Eighth grade subject level.

Ninth grade stock level.

However, there are still some discrepancies.

For example, the participation of local chief envoys in politics.

Participating in politics exercised the power of chief envoy and deputy, but the level was only fourth grade, and in the early Ming Dynasty, some prefectures and counties were divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

Those with more household registrations are the superiors, and those with fewer household registrations are the subordinates.

Prefectures and counties at different levels also have different tastes for their top leaders.

When the disparity is the most extreme, it can even be a difference of two grades.

For example, in the earliest prefecture of Fengyang, Zhu Yuanzhang could be crowned a fourth-rank official with a wave of his hand. However, in remote areas such as Guangdong and Guangxi, many prefects were only ranked sixth or seventh-rank.

This is almost the gap between cities under separate state planning and county-level cities.

In addition to the chaotic administrative structure, the most terrible thing about the Ming Dynasty is that there is no central-level agency!

The so-called central-level agencies simply mean the lack of a central government similar to a cabinet.

After the Hu Weiyong case, Zhu Yuanzhang easily eliminated the Zhongshu Province. This had a very serious consequence. Where should local government affairs be reported to?

General Affairs Secretary?

The general affairs envoy's own responsibilities are similar to the two-in-one of the General Office of the Central Committee and the General Office of State Affairs. He does not have the power to directly approve and instruct the three-level provincial and county offices. Therefore, all local affairs must be handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Come and do it.

This led to the saying, "No matter how big or small, everything should be reported to the emperor", which created the image of Zhu Yuanzhang as a maniac who worked overtime.

At his busiest time, Zhu Yuanzhang had three dynasties a day, morning, afternoon and evening. After the three dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang had to deal with memorials from all over the country.

Involving political, military, criminal cases and other fields.

From a disaster relief and tax reduction in a province to a murder case with huge influence in a county, Zhu Yuanzhang would personally approve or even issue an edict.

The files of these cases are all stored in Zhaomo Division, and Chen Yunfu himself found more than ten cases.

Lao Zhu is also very tired.

Therefore, the initial prototype of the cabinet was born.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, which was the year when Chen Yunfu traveled through time and came to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to establish the Diange Grand Scholar.

Shao Zhi, who had previously recommended Chen Yunfu to the Imperial Procuratorate, was one of the first batch of bachelors in the Hongwu Dynasty.

Last year, Shao Zhi was awarded the title of Grand Bachelor of Huagaidian, Song Ne, the Hanlin bachelor, was awarded the Grand Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, Wu Bozong, the former reviewer of the palace, was awarded the Grand Bachelor of Wuying Palace, and Wu Shen, the classics scholar, was awarded the Grand Bachelor of Dongge.

However, at this time, the so-called bachelors were not as powerful as they were in the Xuande Dynasty. They only existed as Zhu Yuanzhang's secretaries.

The rank of a great scholar is only the fifth rank.

These academics were of low moral character and had no real power. They were just like Chen Yunfu, the pen-and-paper clerks around Zhu Yuanzhang.

Help Zhu Yuanzhang to read the memorials from various places and highlight the important points in pen and ink, so that Zhu Yuanzhang does not have to bother reading long and lengthy nonsense.

Who asked local officials to write a book for the emperor with too much nonsense?

Before getting down to business in 300 words, you should at least write 5,000 words of greetings and 5,000 words of flattery, without repeating the same thing. How capable is this?

"If I were the emperor, I would have to remove all these nonsense writers from their posts."

Chen Yunfu curled his lips and thought like this.

How much effort does it take to write tens of thousands of words in a question book? Or write traditional Chinese characters with a brush.

He, Chen Yunfu, writes novels while holding a keyboard, and he can’t write tens of thousands of words a day.

"Bang~Shen Zheng, moment!"

The sound of an alarm sounded outside the window. Chen Yunfu shook away the random thoughts in his mind and began to pack up the files in front of him.

Get off work on time.

"Chen inspects the school. I'll take my leave."

When he walked to the position opposite the door, Chen Yunfu bowed to the inspector Chen Xinli and said goodbye, but was stopped by the latter.

"Yunfu, wait a minute."

As he spoke, Chen Xinli stood up and invited with a smile: "I'm hosting a banquet tonight. How about we have a light meal with Mo Si?"

Is this considered unit team building?

Chen Yunfu blinked, but he couldn't refuse, so he bowed and agreed.

"The labor inspection school has spent money, and the subordinates will obey the order."
