Chapter 601

After the selection of the privy envoy was decided, Su Yonglin was also selected as the deputy privy envoy.

Xi Ren Mi Yuan.

It is said that Mi Yuan's family has some origins with Mi Xin, a general in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

Mi Yuan was the first Xi Ren leader who followed Su Yonglin's army to fight. He was the commander of the first Xiren independent battalion under Su Yonglin's command.

There were quite a few battalion commanders who escaped at the beginning, and they all fled when they saw that Su Yonglin could not withstand Wanyan's attack. Later, a few brazenly tried to return to Su Yonglin's arms, but were directly driven away by Su Yonglin. .

Mi Yuan didn't leave, and although he didn't dare to follow Su Yonglin to the death, he persisted until the end, which was considered courageous and knowledgeable.

His military talent was just that, and he certainly couldn't compare to his ancestor Mi Xin, but Su Yonglin admired him for being able to persevere to the end.

Therefore, Su Yonglin decided to promote Mi Yuan to the post of deputy privy envoy.

Thus the five principal positions of the General Staff and the Privy Council were thus confirmed.

Su Yonglin named them one by one, and appointed them one by one. Five people were successively appointed in advance by Su Yonglin.

The division of central power has basically been completed, and the political structure of the central government has basically been determined, but the task of assigning official positions is far from over.

The provincial system has just been established, how many provinces the country is divided into, and who is the chief official of each province, all of which must be determined.

Su Yonglin's meaning is very simple, that is, how to come here.

He unfolded the large map of the area currently occupied by the Restoration Army and pointed it out to everyone bit by bit.

"The first is Liaodong. Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, but it is a huge area and involves a lot. If you set up a separate province, you may not be able to manage it, so I decided to divide Liaodong into two and set up two provinces to be responsible for management.

With Songwa River as the boundary, Liaoyang Province to the west, and Liaoyang House as the governing place, including the original Linhuangfu Road, Tokyo Road and Xianping Road, and the east of Songwa River to establish Heilongjiang Province, with Huining House as the governance So, including the original Jinhui Ningfu, Puyu Road, Huli Change Road, Speed ​​Frequency Road, Hoi Laan Road. "

Su Yonglin pointed to the land of Liaodong and announced his decision, and there was no objection from everyone.

Anyway, Liaodong is Su Yonglin's private plot, and the back garden was taken back from the Jurchen by Su Yonglin with pure force. Su Yonglin's disposal of Liaodong is not within their scope of interference, so it is useless for them to have any objections.

Directly admit it, without any interference, in exchange for Su Yonglin's favor.

Then there's the Northwest.

Su Yonglin decided to divide the former Jinguo Xijing Road area into separate provinces, with Datong Prefecture as the core, and Datong Province as the core.

Then there is the Shandong area. Su Yonglin decided to combine Shandong East Road, Shanxi Road and Damingfu Road into one, with Jinan Prefecture as the governing place, and Shandong Province as the province.

Then there is the Nanjing Road area of ​​the former Jin Kingdom. Su Yonglin decided to take Kaifeng House as the governing place and set up Henan Province.

In addition, the original Hedongbei Road and Hedongnan Road were combined into one, and Su Yonglin decided to take Taiyuan House as the governing place and set up Hedong Province.

Then the original Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road were combined into one, and Hejianfu was the governing place, and Hebei Province was established.

With the Guanzhong area remaining, Su Yonglin decided to take the Jingzhao House as the governance place in the Guanzhong area and set up the Guanzhong province.

In the end, Su Yonglin set the original Zhongdu Road and Beijing Road, which were not divided, as the direct jurisdiction of the Central Shangshu Province, referred to as the Central Government.

In this way, all the territories currently under the control of the Liberation Army have been divided by Su Yonglin into Liaoyang Province, Heilongjiang Province, Datong Province, Hedong Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Shandong Province, Guanzhong Province, and Central China. nine administrative districts.

Each administrative region will set up "Xingshangshu Province" according to the scale of the central Shangshu Province to govern the local area.

Xingshangshu Province is one level lower in administrative level than the Central Shangshu Province, so the chief officials of the Central Shangshu Province are from the first rank Pingzhang political affairs, and the chief official of the Xingshangshu Province is from the second rank.

Xingshangshu Province is responsible for the overall governance of local government affairs at the local level, leading administrative affairs.

For this administrative division, the ministers generally have no objection.

On the contrary, Huo Jianbai proposed that such a large administrative division should be managed by one agency. Will the power of the central government be weakened and the hidden power of local powers strengthened?
For this concern, Su Yonglin praised Huo Jianbai.

"Huo Langzhong's words are by no means alarmist, so this plan is only a preliminary plan. In the future, with the increase of population, the number of provinces may increase. For now, this is the case. Moreover, I will set up a judicial department in the province. Office."

Su Yonglin smiled slightly, and then followed Huo Jianbai's words, announcing that in addition to the administrative department of the Shangshangshu Province, in accordance with the new rules set, there will also be a General Administration of Justice in charge of judicial affairs.

The General Administration of Justice is a subordinate department of the Third Department of Justice of the Central Committee.

Each province shall have a General Administration of Justice. The General Administration of Justice shall have one judicial assistant and two judicial chiefs.

Although the rank of the official third-rank Servant of the General Administration of Justice is slightly lower than that of the Minister of Political Affairs of the Shangshu Province, there is no direct subordinate relationship between the two.

The entire judicial system is run separately from the administrative system. The direct superiors of both parties are emperors. Although the Ministry of Personnel also manages the promotion of officials in the administrative system, the Ministry of Personnel in the new dynasty is directly under the responsibility of the emperor and does not belong to the Shangshu Provincial system.

Therefore, the promotion of officials in the judicial system does not require the intervention of the administrative system, which prevents the wonderful reaction between the judicial system and the administrative system to the greatest extent.

Under such circumstances, there is no dirty deal between the judiciary and the executive due to the level of quality - at least not in terms of institutional design.

Su Yonglin did not foresee what would happen during the actual operation.

It's just that it's very difficult to intervene when this kind of thing doesn't happen, and it's only possible to talk about people's affairs.

Below the provinces are the states and prefectures, and in each state capital, in addition to the administrative offices, there are also state and prefectural judicial bureaus.

Counties under the state capital must also set up judicial sub-bureaus according to regulations. The responsibilities of the judicial sub-bureau are the same, and they are also responsible for judicial affairs within a county.

The Chief Executive must not interfere in the affairs of the judicial system. At the same time, when the judicial system is handling affairs, the Chief Executive must avoid relevant personnel and affairs.

If a judicial case involves the Chief Executive, the Chief Executive needs to be inquired by the judicial system at the same level, and temporarily suspend official duties, and the duties and powers are temporarily taken over by the deputy.

This announcement surprised the ministers. Many people looked at Huo Jianbai with strange eyes. Huo Jianbai swallowed and didn't raise his head in embarrassment, pretending to be looking at the map.

On the other hand, in military matters, neither the magistrate nor the magistrate has the power to interfere.

Military issues are also in charge of the Privy Council and the Council of Staff, parallel to the administrative system and the judicial system. Even military expenses are allocated separately, and there is no possibility of intersection.

However, the army can temporarily take charge of the task of public order during wartime, but the main responsibilities of the army are national defense and battles on the battlefield, not just to maintain public order.

Therefore, Su Yonglin decided to set up a separate public security system outside the military system, responsible for coordinating the national security forces outside the military and responsible for public security.

This setting will replace the original position of the Ministry of War among the six divisions.

It's just that when the country was drafted, there was a shortage of manpower, and Su Yonglin's energy was not enough, so this idea is still an idea for the time being, and local security still relies on the local garrison for the time being.

If there is no garrison in the locality, then the administrative officials themselves recruit yamen and the like to be responsible for temporary security.

After the country's governance is on the right track and Su Yonglin has sorted out all the problems, he will free up his hands to establish a national security system and standardize and clarify the local security system.

As for the establishment of institutions in various provinces, officials in charge, etc., because the new dynasty is in short supply, it will not be set up for the time being, and it will be arranged slowly after the establishment of the country.

At present, the national territory is so large and the population is so large, and the central government can still afford to directly control the affairs of each state.

In the future, when the entire administrative organization is operational, outstanding officials who have made contributions will stand out, and suitable candidates will gradually increase. Su Yonglin will set up specific provincial organizational systems one by one, and build first-level administrative divisions.

After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties started the province system from one province to another. If the stalls were so big, problems would arise.

In this regard, Su Yonglin is not in a hurry.
