Ming Zuo

Chapter 320 Administrative Reform
Although Zuo Menggeng returned, the next step was to destroy the White Lotus Sect.

However, within this month or so, there were many situations within the camp that had to be resolved.

"At present, our site is mainly divided into three parts, Linqing, Dongchang and Anshan Lake. The three sites are not affiliated with each other, and it is difficult to manage effectively. We discussed it and felt that a unified yamen should be established."

Today is a big event, and everyone who should come has come.On behalf of everyone, Hou Xun reported the situation to Zuo Menggeng.

Before the administration of the new army, there was no overall planning.They all occupy a place, and they manage a place.

Linqing is the place where Zuo Menggeng started, but the only place that the new army can really control is Zuozhuang, and the city of Linqing is controlled by Qu Shizi.

After Huang Daozhou took office in Dongchang Mansion, other major families came to join him, but the current administrative model was still the same.

Not to mention Anshan Lake.

There is no big city here, but the countryside is everywhere, but the area is vast.

Before, only a few town-level managers were arranged, each responsible for one piece, but all of them were directly responsible to Zuo Menggeng.

As a result, administrative efficiency is low.

Everyone knows that in order to grow and develop, it is necessary to establish a regime.

The foundation of political power is the administrative system.

The new army must have its own administrative system.

Zuo Menggeng was dissatisfied with this situation for a long time, and everyone's thoughts coincided with him.

"What was the result of your discussion?"

Huang Daozhou said: "Our opinion is that we must establish a center to grasp the local management. So that each region does not govern itself, or even cause mutual constraints."

Zuo Menggeng went straight to the topic.

"What do you think about the center?"

Liu Yiyuan shook his head and said helplessly: "For the time being, there is no consensus. Some people suggest to follow the Ming system, and some people propose to adapt to local conditions. Everyone has nothing to say. I still have to ask your thoughts."

Zuo Menggeng was silent, thinking in his heart.

As early as when he decided to rebel, he had already conceived how his own administrative system would be set up in the future.

He was unwilling to inherit the Ming system.

The political system of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be relatively complete and stable, but after seeing the system of later generations, he naturally despised the political system of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is not enough to copy the administrative system of later generations.

The political system is related to productivity and economic level.

Hastily adopted a political system that was too advanced, and if it didn't work out, he became Wang Mang's second.

Of course, a major premise for deciding how to establish an administrative system is to ensure administrative efficiency.

Based on this, Zuo Menggeng came up with his idea after thinking over and over again.

"Can we set up an administrative committee to oversee local governance?"

Li Banghua didn't understand, so he quickly asked, "What is the Administrative Committee?"

Zuo Menggeng explained.

"The Administrative Committee, as the name suggests, is an administrative department. It is composed of several officials and coordinates all administrative affairs. Major resolutions require the Administrative Committee to vote at the executive meeting before a resolution can be formed."

Huang Zongxi suddenly realized.

"Isn't this an extension of the practices of the towns over Anshan Lake?"

Zuo Menggeng nodded and asked, "Do you think it's feasible?"

After thinking about it, everyone expressed their approval.

Everyone can see the management situation of the towns over Anshan Lake.While not without failures, they are generally benign.

At least it won't be like Daming, who has meritorious deeds and everyone robs them, and who has had a history of not seeing anyone.

Zuo Menggeng explained.

Huang Zongxi immediately said: "Then the chairman of the committee can only be held by Zhongheng."

Everyone agreed.

Zuo Menggeng is the leader and the executive head position, which is widely expected.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Menggeng refused.

"Next, my focus will be on the military, and I don't have much time to be in charge of the administration. Therefore, this chairman should be elected by everyone."

Fu Jianyue disagreed.

"Administration is the foundation of state affairs. Zhongheng is not responsible for it. Who can bear the burden?"

Zuo Menggeng smiled.

"Although I am not the chairman of the committee, I will also pay attention to and put forward my own opinions on various matters."

Some people here understand, some people don't.If you don't understand it, you will understand it soon.

Zuo Menggeng's existence is the bottom line.

Because in the final analysis, who holds the political power depends not on the title, but on the military power.

Zuo Menggeng never said that he did not want military power.

But his actions made the big guy very happy.

If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can do this, what is the state of affairs?

With the folly of one person, taking care of all the big and small matters in the world, can the emperor handle it?

Coupled with the lack of talent and incompetence, state affairs will inevitably plummet.

On the contrary, the emperor gave up the administrative power, let the ministers show their strengths, and only controlled the overall situation. On the contrary, it was more conducive to the strength of the collective wisdom, and it was more beneficial to the state affairs.

But Zuo Rong raised an objection.

"Can this chairman have restrictions?"

Everyone immediately woke up and found that Zuo Rong's reminder was very necessary.

At first glance, the position of the chairman of the committee is a powerful one. If there are no restrictions, it seems that it will not be difficult for the world to hang upside down over time.

Zhang Jimeng immediately said: "Since it is a committee, I propose to add several deputies to share the affairs. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Of course, we must gather the strengths of the collective wisdom to be foolproof."

His proposal has been recognized by everyone.

In the end, the establishment of the Administrative Council was passed, consisting of a maximum of seven members.

Any administrative decision needs to be voted on and implemented in accordance with the principle of the minority obeying the majority.

After discussing for a long time, everyone recognized this mechanism very much.Therefore, a resolution is made, which will be implemented immediately
For a time, everyone could not help but look at Zuo Menggeng, who was plain as usual.

This young leader has shown a lot in politics in the past.

How can it be so sharp when it comes to this core power structure issue?

How do they know that Zuo Menggeng is just absorbing the essence of the future generations.

It doesn't matter whether he can comprehend the mystery or not, but since he can achieve good results in the era when the political structure of later generations is so developed, there must be something worth learning from.
