Turbulent Times Chapter 1684: National system and knighthood


(Thank you very much for the generosity of ‘DENNISSEE’ and ‘Weird ii’ for their generous support and monthly ticket support.)

Shangguan Hu, Jiang Mulang, Wu San, Zhou Hu and others from the northwest, as well as Luo Shixin, Pei Yuanqing and Wu Si from Hebei, Xu Shiji, Chen Yaojin, Shen Guang, Huang Shaoqiu and others from Sichuan and Sichuan, were stationed at the border. Li Shimin, who was in Guanzhong, was far away from Yangzhou, so they couldn't come, but they already knew that today was the day when the Da'an Empire was established and Wang Junlin proclaimed himself emperor.

Shen Guoer went to Nanzhao to deal with Hu Huaiming's matter, but because the matter was of great importance, she did not rush back.

And Nie Xiaoyu has been locked in her mysterious secret room since the body of No. 1 Killer King was sent to Snake Island, and has not come out for more than two months.

Wang Junlin noticed that at this time these people looked at him full of strangeness and awe, and they didn't dare to look directly at him.

Even Liu Ziming, who had always had a close relationship with him and who had previously regarded him as a brother, looked at him with complicated expressions, and for the first time, he also showed awe.

At this moment, Wang Junlin was completely separated from his former loyal subordinates, friends, and brothers by the barrier between the monarch and his subjects, and he entered the lonely world of the emperor.

At this moment, Wang Junlin only hoped that Chen Danying, Xiang Xiang, Shen Guoer, and his precious son could still get along with him as before. As for Nie Xiaoyu, he wouldn't be worried.

After Du Ruhui finished reading that magnificent article, he bowed to Wang Junlin, and then returned to his seat. Fang Xuanling, who was next to him, stepped forward again and bowed to Wang Junlin.

During this process, Wang Junlin did not say a word, but nodded slightly to the two of them.

Fang Xuanling stepped forward, unfolded a scroll of auspicious cloud patterns, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "The edict says...

…The reign name Tianxiang. "

Wang Junlin understands the next content, because this imperial decree is the content that has been finalized and discussed repeatedly these days, and it is also the most concerned thing for everyone inside and outside the court.

As for Wang Junlin himself, he has read it countless times, and he can even recite the content verbatim.

In fact, until last night, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui came to ask Wang Junlin for instructions, saying that there was an inaccurate wording in it, and then revised it, and the content of the imperial decree was finally finalized.

Then, Wang Junlin personally took the jade seal of Emperor Da'an that Nie Xiaoyu made for him. It is said that no one can imitate it.

The content of the first imperial edict to establish a country and proclaim itself emperor is naturally much longer than ordinary imperial edicts.

Of course, it is unavoidable to first explain that Wang Junlin's founding of the country and proclaiming himself emperor is the destiny and the general trend, and he is bound to unify the world. Anyway, there are a lot of reasons and astronomical phenomena.

In short, after people listen to it, they will be convinced that Wang Junlin's failure to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor is against the will of heaven.

The next step is to do what the emperors of all dynasties have to do when they ascend the throne --- amnesty for the world. Wang Junlin now has fifty-eight counties and two hundred and thirty counties under his rule, except for the heinous death row prisoners , other criminals were exonerated from most of their crimes, and many people were released directly from prison and regained their freedom.

Then, tax cuts and corvée cuts will be made within one year, which is a reflection of the new king's enthronement

, to benefit the world, the emperor's grace is a mighty act.

Finally, conferring an official title is what everyone is most concerned about. Even when Fang Xuanling read this, everyone in the hall except Wang Junlin and Fang Xuanling who read the edict Hold your breath.

However, instead of being knighted at the beginning, Wang Junlin and Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji and other important officials studied it for more than two or three months before deciding on a different title. The Great Sui Dynasty, and even any feudal dynasty in the past dynasties, the court system and official institutions.

In fact, Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu had roughly set the direction of the imperial court system and officials' organization before, and the officials below were just stuffing things into it.

And this is the highlight of this edict, and the highlight of today's founding ceremony. Of course, it is also the most concerned matter of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and even all the people in the fifty-eight counties under Wang Junlin's rule.

Of course, the imperial edict only briefly mentions it. The specific regulations have already been distributed to fifty-eight counties and two hundred and thirty-one counties. Where to find what kind of yamen or officials to do things.

Generally speaking, the official system of the Da'an Empire is divided into three major systems: civil, military, and judicial.

There are two chief officials in Zhongshu Province, who are divided into left and right ministers, and there are six departments under the control: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Industry; There are two assistant ministers of the third grade, and each department has four divisions, a total of twenty-four divisions.

Du Ruhui is the prime minister on the left, and Fang Xuanling is the prime minister on the right. They are both high-ranking members of the first rank. They are jointly responsible for political affairs, but each has its own focus and scope of responsibility.

What I want to say here is that there are still many differences between the six ministries of Da'an Kingdom and the six ministries of the three provinces and six ministries formed in China since the Western Han Dynasty. Looking deeper, the scope of responsibilities and powers of each ministry is also very different.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials is Xu Jingzong, the organ that manages civil officials. Generally speaking, it is in charge of the system of ranking and selection, the method of dismissing officials through examinations, the code of awarding and awarding, and the method of finalizing the registration system.

There is an official department in charge of examining the grades of civil servants, listing, granting, selecting, promoting, and handling monthly selections; The seal inspection department; the Jixun department in charge of civil officials' keeping system, final support, official succession, naturalization, rename and surname restoration, etc.;

The Minister of the Household Department is Liu Ziming, and the left and right servants are the two deputies who have followed Liu Ziming in recent years. The Ministry of Households is in charge of the country's territory, fields, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters.

Under the subordinates, there are Qianxing Department in charge of making money, treasury department in charge of treasury, warehouse department in charge of storage and water affairs, and industry and commerce department in charge of industrial and commercial affairs. Liu Ziming who followed Wang Junlin, the others Wang Junlin was really worried.

The Minister of Rites is Pei Shiju. The Ministry of Rites is in charge of ceremonial affairs, schools and imperial examinations. It is used for the five ceremonies of Kaoji, Jia, Jun, Bin, and Ji; it manages school affairs across the country and the imperial examinations and foreign exchanges, and it has a department in charge of ceremony, military ceremonies, and management of academic affairs and imperial examinations; Auspicious and ominous ceremonies, temple sacrifices, official affairs, guest ceremonies and foreign guests reception, and banquets, fine meals, and animal affairs.

Officials.

In addition to the four divisions, there is also a casting and printing bureau, which is in charge of casting the emperor's seal and internal and external officials' seals. Together with the Fourth Translation Office, it is in charge of receiving foreign tribute envoys and translations. Similar to the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other departments of later generations.

Shangshu of the Ministry of War is Li Jing. The Ministry of War is in charge of the recruitment of soldiers across the country and the management of military registration, the dismissal and conferral of military officials, the code of enshrinement, the citation of merit, verification, compensation, the system of boarding and postal transmission, the method of screening and succinctness, the registration of soldiers, military real number. Manage and take charge of the national horse administration and post biography and other matters. In wartime, he can also serve as the general of the army and horses according to the emperor's will.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry is Qian Zhengkuo, who has been in charge of the production base of weapons and equipment in the salt field. The two ministers are the dean of the Gewu Research Institute, and the head of the Momen. The other is Qian Zhengkuo's deputy Dong. Kang.

The Ministry of Industry is the agency that manages engineering affairs across the country, and it is very different from the Ministry of Industry among the previous six ministries. He is in charge of the system of civil construction, the method of using utensils, the method of dredging canals and weirs, and the code of supplying billions of mausoleums. All civil engineering, water conservancy projects, machine manufacturing projects (including arms, munitions, military utensils, etc.), mining and metallurgy, textiles and other government-run industries in the country are all comprehensive, and they are in charge of part of the financial currency and unified weights and measures. There are four divisions: the Department of Enforcement and Qingli, which is in charge of the construction and repair of palaces and government offices; the Department of Yuheng Qingli, who is in charge of manufacturing, sending and receiving various official utensils, and is in charge of weights and measures and casting coins; the Department of Dushui Qingli, who is in charge of estimating and selling project costs, and is in charge of manufacturing Imperial edicts, official books, etc.; Tuntian Qingli Department, in charge of mausoleum repairs and write-off expenses, receiving materials and part of taxes.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Agriculture was jointly recommended by Liu Ziming and Du Ruhui. His name was Wang Huier. He was also the first batch of high-achieving students who graduated from Fanyang College. He specialized in agronomy. The annual increase in income is largely due to Wang Huier. The Ministry of Agriculture is in charge of planting, animal husbandry, aquaculture, agricultural reclamation, etc. in the country. In the feudal dynasty of China, this department was never established separately. The establishment of the Ministry of Agriculture in Da'an was deliberately insisted by Wang Junlin.

In addition, Wang Junlin set up the Military Aircraft Office, the chief officer of the Military Aircraft Office is Qin Qiong, a senior official of the second rank, and Shan Xiongxin is the deputy of the Military Aircraft Office. The agencies directly under the Military Intelligence Office include the Military Intelligence Office, the Special Operations Brigade, the Yancheng Weapons and Equipment Production Base, and the Law Enforcement Team.

But after the founding of the country, the Military Intelligence Office was no longer Shen Guoer's Military Intelligence Office, but a part split from the latter, with Xie Yingdeng from the Wagang Camp as the leader of the Military Intelligence Office.

The Special Operations Brigade is still led by Zhang Tiangang. The leader of the law enforcement team is Chen Xiaogou trained by Nie Xiaoyu.

In addition, the Ministry of War is in charge of the local county soldiers and county soldiers, while the Military Machine Mansion is directly in charge of the various field troops of the Far East Army.

However, with the increase in the number of troops, Wang Junlin plans to upgrade the specifications of each battalion to a legion.

For example, the leader of the Tiger Legion is still Yuchi Jingde, and the leader of the Wagang Legion is still Xu Shiji.

However, Wang Junlin also added the Youzhou Legion and the Tianwei Legion. The leader of the Youzhou Legion is naturally Luo Yi, who is mainly responsible for defending the Northeast, keeping an eye on Goguryeo, Khitan in the Northeast and Turks in the North.

The Tianwei Legion is in charge of the defense of the palace and the emperor, with a staff of 50,000 people, and the main general is Cheng Yaojin.

Appointing Cheng Yaojin as the chief general of the Heavenly Guard Corps was Wang Junlin's personal choice, including Cheng Yaojin himself, this matter was beyond the expectations of many people.
