Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 270
Li Ye successively received thank-you memorials from Du Hong, Zhong Chuan, and others, as if they had been negotiated. These people said that there were bandits in the territory, and the town soldiers were all fighting the rebellion, and they were unable to send troops, so they asked the emperor to punish them.

Li Ye shook his head, and said, "They are so righteous in pleading guilty, ah!"

Jing Xiang said: "They are all clowns!"

Li Ye let out a long sigh, and said, "I want to subdue Yi, but how can I achieve long-term stability!"

Jingxiang couldn't answer this matter, and when he was thinking about how to say it, His Majesty the Emperor said: "I want to change the soil and return to the brigade, and serve as a government official. Anyone with a rank will be a buffalo official, a native soldier, and the school commander." What do you think if the fifth rank is a low-level official, the eighth rank is a low-ranking official, and the army commander is all a low-level official, supplemented by a low-level army?"

"Returning the land to the people! Reforming the land to the people, Your Majesty, I think this strategy is very good, but the specific details need to be carefully considered!"

"Let's draw up a charter, and discuss it carefully during the court meeting."

"promise!"

His Majesty the Emperor also took great pains about how to govern Jiangnan, and Li Ye found Niu Hui again.

"His Majesty!"

"Mr. Niu, I'm not sure about something, so I'll discuss it with you first!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Li Ye talked about the difference between native officials, and then said: "I want to divide the world by Dao. County officials are appointed, judged for merit, and the power of picketing is distributed to the prefectures. The appointment and dismissal are approved by the Taoist government. It is issued to the prefectures, and the appointment and removal are approved by the imperial court, and the imperial court directly appoints the officials of the Taoist government.

"Is Your Majesty going to delegate the authority of the Ministry of Officials and Yushitai to all provinces and states?"

Li Ye nodded and said: "The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, how could the court take care of the details? There is no other way. Of course, the court official department and Yushitai also have the function of supervising all provinces and prefectures!"

Niu Hui thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this is a big matter, and I don't know what will happen?"

Li Ye said: "It's okay, we can find one or one state to try it out, and if it's feasible, we can implement it all over the world."

In the current Datang, there are only about [-] high-ranking people in the Governor's Mansion of a state.

Among them, one governor, from the third rank, is the governor of a state, and the assistant officials are: don't drive the other one, from the fourth rank.There is one long history, from the fifth rank; one Sima, from the fifth rank; one military officer, from the seventh rank; two recorders, from the ninth rank;

There were seven officers, one Sigong participated in the military, one Sicang participated in the military, two Sihu participated in the military, one Sitian participated in the military, one participated in the military, two participated in the judiciary, and one participated in the military. Under the seventh rank;
Four people who participated in the military, from the eighth rank; one city order, from the ninth rank; one prime minister, from the ninth rank; one literary person, from the eighth rank;

The governor has a lot of power and is in charge of the military and political affairs of a state.

Now that the military and the government are separated, the participation of soldiers and soldiers in the military and the participation of soldiers in the military will be abolished, and the responsibilities of Si Tian and Si Hu must be clarified.

"For the affairs of a state, the implementation of imperial government orders, taxation, litigation, disaster relief, persuasion to study, household registration and land, etc., also need to inspect state and county officials, select talents, I think paving roads and bridges, dredging water conservancy, etc. are all state affairs!"

Niu Hui also felt something. In fact, the establishment of state officials in the Tang Dynasty was very problematic. In fact, it was very easy to be the governor of the late Tang Dynasty.

In the early Tang Dynasty, it was also assessed whether the population of a state had increased, and whether the farmland of a state had increased, but now there is no such thing at all.

"Assessment officials should also increase the item of persuasion, and the imperial examination should also be decentralized. Each state will hold a scientific examination every year. Those who pass the examination will be scholars. Each province will hold a scientific examination every two years. Those who pass the examination will be judges. The imperial court will hold it every three years. A scientific examination, and those who pass the examination are Jinshi."

Niu Hui was a little confused.

"The method of selecting officials must also have clear regulations. Officials are not selected, but must be tested. Let me give you an example. Scholars can be tested for officials without grades. Juren can be tested for ninth-rank officials, and Jinshi can be tested for eighth rank. An official of the eighth rank."

"Your Majesty, the subject is dull, how should I take the test?"

Speaking of it, it is the civil service examination, and scholars, Juren, and Jinshi are the stepping stones.

"Forget about poetry and poetry, but of course you have to test the practice of being an official, how to govern the people, how to persuade students, how to settle cases, the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, etc..."

Niu Hui nodded.

Li Ye sighed and said: "This is just a stopgap measure. Now that the people's livelihood is dying, the first thing is to rest with the people. After a few years, if the war ceases and the national strength slows down, I will build fewer schools, middle schools, and universities. If you are successful in your studies, you will be a scholar, if you are successful in middle school, you will be a scholar, if you are successful in university, you will be a Jinshi, and anyone who has passed their studies can be an official examiner!"

call!
Niu Hui smelled something unusual.

There is another thing in the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty, which is recommendation. Often you write a poem, and the rich and powerful approve it, and you can get started. Officials, the officialdom will change accordingly.

"In the future, colonels and lieutenants in the army can also be recommended by the superiors. After the recommendation, they must also enroll in school. Only after completing their studies can they be awarded military posts. Considering that these soldiers can't read all the characters, the difficulty can be reduced. For such an official position, one must understand the government's decrees, which is the most basic."

"Your Majesty, I'm stupid, I'll tell you later!"

Li Ye said: "Mr. Niu, let's draw up a charter first. The setting of official positions, powers, assessment content, powers and positions of Yushitai, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates should be carefully considered. After drafting, report it to me. Don't tell others about it beforehand!"

"No, I understand!"

Niu Hui walked out of the meeting room and let out a long breath. This is an earth-shattering event. The Tang Dynasty is going to be restructured. The concept of a native official is already amazing, and there are so many ideas that have never been imagined.

Fortunately, His Majesty only started with one province and one state as a pilot project, which also made Niu Hui deeply feel that His Majesty's governance is stable. Niu Hui is not sure what the new system will bring to Datang, but His Majesty seems to be confident.This made Niu Hui feel pressured.

"Even if there is chaos, it will mess up the affairs of a state, and it will not affect the world!"

If you think so, Niu Hui also calms down and thinks carefully about what His Majesty said just now...

……

Li Ye firmly believed that in the face of absolute strength, Jiangnan would soon be pacified, and after pacification, how to divide the administrative regions was also a very urgent issue.

This should be viewed from the military point of view, followed by the convenience of government affairs.

In front of the sand table, Li Ye summoned Shi Pu, Sun Weizui, and Zhang Chengye to the front.

"The Great Tang has more than 360 states and more than 500 counties. The world is divided into ten states to monitor lawlessness, and it is still impossible to govern. Now I want to merge several states into a state and use it to govern each state. What do you think? "
