Chapter 594 Kong Zheng noticed a bright spot

Regarding the sudden system modification, Cao Kai, who was sitting next to Kong Zheng, felt that he had to talk about this issue.

He felt that Su Yonglin couldn't go too far in this matter.

It's okay to take away the personnel rights, and now we have to do this.

Not to mention how much labor costs and how many official positions need to be added, these are all money, and in this way, local officials will have more constraints on what they want to do, and they will lose a very powerful deterrent weapon.

This violates everyone's interests.

But just as he was about to move, Kong Zheng quickly tugged at his sleeve.

Cao Kai looked at Kong Zheng puzzled, Kong Zheng frowned slightly and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to talk too much.

Cao Kai was very puzzled and didn't know what Kong Zheng meant by this, but since everyone decided to fight with the advance and retreat together, he couldn't mess around, so as not to be dissatisfied and abandoned by his colleagues.

In this era when everyone needs to stick together to survive, his actions are very likely to affect his future career.

So Cao Kai held back.

But Cao Kai held back, and some people didn't hold back.

For example, the current Financial Secretary Wai Lang, and the old Jin Dynasty official Zhang Wenyi, who was born in Yanyun Han, raised his concerns.

"It is good that the general attaches great importance to the law, but this idea is too difficult to achieve. In the past, the local Xing Prison incident was handed over to the local government for execution. If it were all placed separately, I don't know how many officials and officials would be added, and how much would it cost. already."

As soon as these words came out, Kong Zheng noticed that Huo Jianbai frowned, and looked at Zhang Wenyi in surprise. Obviously, Zhang Wenyi's behavior had not been communicated to him in advance.

Kong Zheng was secretly delighted, feeling that this group of Yanyun Han people were still rude, and even his subordinates could not control it, so he looked at Su Yonglin again, expecting to see Su Yonglin's unhappiness.

But Su Yonglin still had a decent smile that he had everything under control.

What Zhang Wenyi said is indeed the problem.

In the past, only some major cases and death penalty cases needed to be handled by the judicial department of the central court, and trivial matters in some localities could be handled directly by local competent officials.

It is said that this is called encroachment of local authority, and it is not good to say it.

In a small way, this is also a matter that consumes a lot of money and energy, and even if you go all over the country, you may not be able to organize so many judicial talents. How to set up these departments, how to arrange so many judicial talents to take charge of the affairs, this is a problem.

It costs money, it costs a lot of money.

However, before Su Yonglin responded, Huo Jianbai stood up and refuted Zhang Wenyi.

"There are no rules and no square circle. The general wants to set laws and regulations for the future country. This is a good thing, so what is there to worry about? And how serious is the phenomenon of redundant officials since the Song Dynasty, Zhang Yuanwailang, don't you know? What about not having enough manpower?"

Zhang Wenyi looked at Huo Jianbai and seemed to feel something, so he lowered his head with embarrassment on his face.

Not to mention anything else, what Huo Jianbai said also made sense. There was a serious phenomenon of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty, which led to a serious shortage of official positions in the court. There were not enough positions for newcomers, and the old people were always worried that their positions would be replaced by newcomers.

Because too many jinshi were recruited and there were not enough official positions in the imperial court, many political incidents were triggered, and this was one of the problems that Wang Anshi's reform urgently needed to solve.

So how big is the court's recruitment needs, the private sector can provide several times as many candidates. Does the court need officials, and will there be dissatisfaction with recruitment?
The scene became a little awkward for a while.

The faction leader doesn't speak, is it a bit too much for you to stand up and take your place?
Seeing that Zhang Wenyi blushed and was about to die, Su Yonglin smiled and spoke.

"It is because of the unprofessional and unprofessionalism of the local government that there are so many unjust, false and wrong cases, and the folks will have the theory of flying frost in June. It can be seen that there are so many grievances. For this kind of thing, I have traveled to many places. See, is there less?
I made such a mistake in the past, and I will never make it again. If there is a shortage of talents, then I will run specialized schools and cultivate talents. If the problem occurs, it must be corrected.Is it as if the civil grievances have not been seen?
I know that this will cost a lot of events and money, but doing this, the merit is in the present, and the benefits will be in the future. You can't stop doing it just because it is difficult to do. This is not the way of government, let alone the way of people. "

Su Yonglin looked at Zhang Wenyi and said slowly, "Your concern is not unreasonable, it is also a practical problem that the court needs to face, it does exist, you are right, that's why we have to solve it, don't we? "

Su Yonglin's attitude was obviously very firm and unshakable.

So everyone said yes again and again and no longer objected.

Zhang Wenyi also breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his social crisis had barely passed.

However, Kong Zheng, who had not spoken, noticed a bright spot.

A Chinese point that was taken by Su Yonglin in one sentence.

Running a school to train specialized talents?
This……

What means?
Could it be that Su Yonglin intends to train specialized legal talents?
Want another school?
Are you teaching not traditional Confucian classics, but legal-related content?
Kong Zheng was very concerned about this issue, but Su Yonglin didn't seem to want to explain it in depth, and he didn't dare to ask it now. He could only hide his doubts in his heart and ask at the right time after preparation.

After the administrative and judicial aspects were determined by Su Yonglin, the main event was the military aspect.

Su Yonglin did not set up the military department, but kept the Privy Council, and still set up the Privy Council and the Privy Council's deputy envoys. However, the Privy Council's functions and powers were limited to the daily military management and logistics management, as well as the promotion, rewards and punishments of military personnel. Responsible for handling.

The real military planning and military command were transferred to the newly established departmental staff.

The staff will be expanded from the staff of the army. All personnel have military experience and are promoted from the army. The chief of staff is the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff, specializing in military command.

The current Restoration Army will be reorganized into a national army in the future. The five corps and the Imperial Guard Tiger Ben Army, including all military departments, belong to the Privy Council, but the real command is in the Staff Council, and the Privy Council and the Staff Council are directly responsible to the emperor. .

Of course, this result was no surprise to the vassals.

Su Yonglin himself was one of the earliest founders of the Restoration Army, one of the three giants later, and the savior who saved the Restoration Army in the end. The current Restoration Army was reorganized by Su Yonglin.

The military aspect was originally a link where Su Yonglin could do whatever he wanted, and no one would have thought about bargaining with Su Yonglin in the military aspect, unless—he was tired of living.

How to arrange the army, how to set up, how to train, how to fight, these are all things that Su Yonglin can decide.

There is no reason for him, because of his exploits, his prestige, his military talent.

Don't talk about him, Zhao Guangyi didn't do anything to use Wen Yuwu before drifting his donkey cart.

Many high-ranking officials in the Privy Council were from military commanders. Before the battle, Zhao Guangyi also threw away the civilian government and discussed with the Privy Council alone, not colluding with civil officials.

For the founding emperor and the enterprising emperor, the army is an existence that cannot be interfered by outsiders. As long as they can command, they must be commanded by themselves.

But if the emperor himself is an incompetent person, loses prestige in the army, and the society dies, then naturally there is nothing to say, all means must be used, and the army must not get out of control.

The three major issues of administration, justice, and military have been resolved, and the next few central institutions are not really important.

The establishment of the National History Academy, Xuanhui Academy, Hongwen Academy, Jixian Academy, Astronomical Academy, Guozijian, etc. are all modeled after the previous dynasties, both in the Jin and Song Dynasties, and in the same line, so it does not matter.

The central system has been basically determined, and the next thing to focus on is the local system.

Su Yonglin made great changes to the local system.

The first to bear the brunt is the system of "Xing Shangshu Province".

In short, Su Yonglin wanted to make the provincial system of acting as a temporary measure in the Jin Dynasty into a custom, and even make it a first-level administrative division under the country and fix it.

The change is really big.
