The two hundred and fifty-sixth chapter: On the reward of meritorious deeds, the joy is great.
"Come on, I will introduce you to a new colleague."
The day after talking to Kou Yan, Luo Yongsheng hurriedly brought the former to the Government Affairs Pavilion, and generously introduced Kou Yan to Geng Baishun and the other three.
"From today, Taishi Kou will be the fourth minister of our Dachu Government Affairs Pavilion."
Kou Yan took a step forward and bowed to the three of them.
"Kou has met three of you here, and I hope to support you in the future."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
The three of them dared not be Kou Yan's courtesy, so they all hurriedly avoided the courtesy, but they did not forget to bow to Kou Yan.
"It is a blessing for my great Chu to join."
"The Grand Tutor of the previous dynasty dare not take this title again. Several colleagues should call Kou Mou to Pingzhong."
"Hey, don't be humble, come on, sit down."
Luo Yongsheng couldn't bear to see the literati's sorrow. If he didn't speak, the few people would just be so humble and not know when they would be involved, so he interrupted and greeted the four of them to sit down.
"Now Kou Qing is willing to join the officialdom in our Great Chu. This is a blessing for the country and the people. We cannot be careless about others."
Geng Baishun immediately responded: "King, I am willing to give up the position of chief minister."
Brother Ping Zhong was a great talent in the age of time, and he served as the envoy of the Three Divisions. He was well-versed in the academic field of a hundred schools of thought. He was good at choosing wise men and capable people. He should be the position of the assistant."
"How can this make it?" Kou Wei wanted to refuse, but he heard Luo Yongsheng nodding and agreeing: "Selecting virtuous and capable is a wise sign in the prosperous era of Datong. Geng Qing's ability to have this enlightenment is also a blessing for our country."
Are the monarchs and ministers of this Great Chu so highly ideologically?
Kou Yi suddenly felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
In the Song Dynasty, he experienced two emperors and fought with many political enemies to the point of being the best. Why did he abdicate directly to the Great Chu?
Wei Bingkun and Luo Chengwen looked calm, as if they had been mentally prepared for a long time.
Earlier, after Kou Yan came to Nanchang, the three of them talked about this matter together.
At that time, Geng Bai said by the way, "When Kou comes to Nanchang, he will be invited by the king to become an official. At that time, the position of chief minister will be the one who is the king. This is also the thought in his mind."
Although the throne of the chief assistant is very touching, it is important for people to know themselves. Geng Baishun doesn’t think he can compare with Kou Shi, so he simply doesn’t greedy.
Don’t end up with nothing. The position of chief assistant failed to sit and it was against Luo Yongsheng’s thoughts, which made him look fishy.
Just give up and give up a good reputation, you can enjoy the rest of your life's wealth.
"Ben Kun, Chengwen, do you two have any objections?"
"The Prime Minister of the Kou is a great talent, and I will discuss it with you."
Luo Yongsheng was very satisfied and looked at Kou Que with a smile: "Since the three Qing families have no objection, I will ask Kou Qing to be the chief minister of the Government Affairs Pavilion of our Great Chu."
"This... I will accept the order, thank the king for his kindness and the three colleagues for their courtesy."
"good!"
Luo Yongsheng made the decision to set the tone: "Then let's just say this. Let's talk about the next thing, and the thing that everyone wants to hear the most is the reward for the merits after the founding of the new dynasty.
There will definitely be a battle, but I don’t think there will be too many difficulties. This matter of rewarding merits and merits can be put on the agenda. How to seal it, how to seal it, and everyone will draw up a charter."
Among the four, Kou Wei was not saying anything, and he would not speak rashly now. After all, he was a newcomer, and the reward of merits and deeds did not matter much to him.
However, the other three were already smiling.
Since I started my business, it has been the season for harvesting fruits. It is worth the years of worry and hard work.
"Since we need to reward merits and do things, we must first clarify the official title system of our Great Chu.
The highest level of official is of course the Government Affairs Pavilion. I plan to rename the Government Affairs Pavilion to the Cabinet and take charge of the central government and the country. The chief minister of the cabinet is Kou Gu, and the second assistant is Geng Baishun, Bing Kun, Chengwen, you are the cabinet ministers. At the same time, Chu Ji has made many achievements over the years, and this time he will also be included in the cabinet.
The new cabinet will be responsible for the operation of the entire national government system. In addition to the six traditional central ministries and commissions, such as official, ritual, military, industrial, household and punishment, it will also be responsible for the Censorate, Dali Temple, and a new national authority department and the Audit Office.
These nine central ministries and commissions correspond to the Jiusiyamen of local provincial governments.
In this way, a four-level vertical administrative system of the cabinet central government-provincial-prefecture-county was formed, with nine central ministries and commissions leading the nine provincial departments, nine prefecture-prefecture-prefecture-eight departments, and eight county departments.
In addition to these nine central ministries and commissions, the cabinet has a separate Tongzheng Department, which is responsible for connecting with the central government's documents from various provinces and local governments, and timely issuing central policies to various provinces and local governments.
The Ministry of Personnel has three departments under its jurisdiction: official selection, official education, and official supervision.
The Ministry of Rites has three departments under its jurisdiction: national sacrifices, national examinations, and state guest reception.
The three departments under the Ministry of War: military investigation, military preparation investigation, and military recruitment.
The Ministry of Industry has three departments under its jurisdiction: national defense construction, water conservancy construction, and road construction.
Five departments under the Ministry of Revenue: State households, state land, state business, treasury expenditure, and public expense statistics.
The Ministry of Justice has three departments under the jurisdiction of: national security, legal security, and public security security.
The three departments under the Censorate: official interrogation, official interrogation, and official public prosecution.
The three departments under the Dali Temple are under the jurisdiction of: death penalty review, final judgment, and law amendment.
The Audit Office has nine departments under its jurisdiction: Audit from the Ministry of Personnel, Audit from the Ministry of Rites, Audit from the Ministry of War, Audit from the Ministry of Industry, Audit from the Ministry of Revenue, Audit from the Ministry of Justice, Audit from the Criminal Office, Audit from the Dali Temple, and Office.
The Tongzheng Department has the 18 bureaus under its jurisdiction: Central Committee, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Yunnan.
Having clarified the establishment of our Da Chu civil servant system, it will be convenient for you to arrange a list of rewards for merit and merit.
As for the military system, you don’t have to worry about it.
In addition to officials, our Great Chu also has a title system.
The titles are divided into five levels, including kings, dukes, marquis, bons, and sons. The so-called titles are only empty titles, and one generation will end. There is no privilege, no fief, no favor."
When a few people looked at each other, they realized much more.
This so-called title is just a national honor. It is a medal of merit, and it sounds nice when hung in front of the name.
"All the titles and the nominations are awarded by the orphans, the Ministry of Personnel, the Censorate and the Audit Office jointly review the elected persons and then the titles are awarded after confirmation is correct."
Luo Yongsheng roughly explained all his thoughts and stood up: "For the specific list, please come to Chu Ji for discussion. I have to go to the Grand Marshal's Mansion and tell them the good news."
"Great send to the king."
After seeing Luo Yongsheng off, the four of them looked at each other and smiled.
The cabinet made the matter of rewarding merits and rewards, and everyone recommended each other. Now it is possible that they can become a duke.
Although there are no affordable benefits, it sounds much better than before the name.
