I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 524

Zhao Xi really didn't intend to dig a hole to bury those ministers again this time.After Fu Bi returned to the court, the monarch and ministers showed signs of uniting as one, and he didn't need to slap people in the face again and again.

As for the ministers who made a fuss in the open this time, not to mention that they are not high enough, even if they are all counted, they are not enough for him, Zhao Xi, to cook them all together.

After the completion of the supervision system, Zhao Xi can be regarded as taking shape in the reform of the local system of the country.

In terms of a large structure, military, political affairs, finance, commerce, and supervision have established a hierarchical system subordinate to the imperial court from the imperial court to the local area.

In terms of military affairs, the Privy Council is in charge of generals and dispatching troops, the Ministry of War is in charge of armaments and low-level officers, and the construction and transportation of armaments are all controlled by Workshop City.It fundamentally eliminated the possibility of generals making trouble, changed the disadvantages of generals not knowing soldiers from the system, and also changed the ancestral system of the dynasty to use literature to control martial arts from the program.

In terms of politics, local officials no longer intervene in the military, and can let go to focus on people's livelihood and government affairs.And Zhao Xi's separation of financial rights also avoided the possibility of local officials spending public money, or even using public money for banquets and fun.

Shiyi Temple supervises commercial activities and effectively grasps the tax revenue situation in various places.In the future, all tax revenues will be issued by the third division envoy here in a series of tax payment laws, which will be uniformly handled by the Royal Bank.

As for the discretion of the magistrates, only the two taxes are left.In order to make the state capital in charge more comfortable, the local officials will work hard to open up wasteland and prevent land mergers to ensure local tax revenue.

At the same time, in promoting government-run industries, Zhao Xi turned local prefectures, counties, and counties into owners of various industries... In the future, this part of the income will be much higher than the agricultural tax.

Zhao Xi also knows that it is difficult to change people's dependence on the land for thousands of years. He just wants to make the people look down on the land as much as possible.

Ensuring food supply is one aspect, and reducing the value of land is what Zhao Xi has been working on.

For this reason, he has never thought about conquering Annan, although it is easy for the military power of the current state to win Annan, and even some court officials have made such a proposal.

Before expanding the territory and developing additional food supply and production areas, Zhao Xi will not consider conquering Annan for the time being, because the dynasty needs Annan to provide food for the Song Dynasty stably.

In fact, using the so-called kingly way to make Annan attached to the country is not a choice.It's just that Zhao Xi is still greatly influenced by later generations, and he always believes that the saying that people who are not of our race must have different hearts is suitable for Annan.

This is still a long time later.

Let the people look down on the land and reduce the value of the land, not because Zhao Xi does not pay attention to agriculture.Agriculture is the primary industry, which is the most reasonable.

But if you want the people to look down on the land and reduce the value of the land, you must let the people see the fact that they can survive without relying on the land.

This requires a certain degree of promotion of the country's industrialization process.It may be said that industrialization is a bit too big, without the development of basic disciplines, the so-called industrialization is worse than crafting.

There is only one purpose, to enrich the material as much as possible.

Zhao Xi also wanted to promote the development of natural science, and tried his best to do so.He gave Su Song and Shen Kuo unlimited access to money and food, and he pinned his hopes on them.

What Zhao Xi can do is to mention some points, not only because of identity, but because Zhao Xi believes that what belongs to this era should be created by the characters of this era.

Industrialization cannot be promoted by him, Zhao Xi, who runs a workshop city by himself. What Zhao Xi can do is to guide.

Only by establishing an industrialized atmosphere in this era, creating an environment for industrialized development, and promulgating policies to promote industrialization, so that everyone from officials to businessmen, from businessmen to civilians, and even scholar-bureaucrats, can benefit from industrialization can we truly achieve Promote the development of industrialization in this era.

Otherwise, Zhao Xi is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?
In all the architectural design, Zhao Xi has never forgotten the supervision.The establishment of the supervision system, the perfect rules, the three-year rotation system, the setting of the traceability mechanism, etc., allow the supervision system to play an effective role.

In addition, Zhao Xi also has his own Imperial City Division to investigate...

Then there is the real issue of bureaucratic reform.

First of all, let the Ministry of Officials formulate a unified official rank.From the Zhengshitang, the six ministries and the nine ministers to the chief officials and assistant officials of the prefectures and counties, the official ranks of each position are clarified, and the original official system of building beds and houses is abolished.

And formulate detailed promotion conditions, refine the grind, and formulate performance evaluation methods that adapt to the actual situation and promote development.

Zhao Xi didn't expect to be able to put an end to human relations, and later generations did not, let alone in this era when the succession of masters and patriarchal clans are greater than the heavens, he just tried to standardize the entire bureaucratic system as much as possible.

Secondly, the Ministry of Households starts to investigate the current total salaries of various officials, titles, subsidized posts, dispatches, and lords. Based on this, according to the official ranks determined by the Ministry of Officials, official salaries corresponding to official ranks and salaries are formed. system.

The new official salary system should not only reflect the differences in official ranks, but also the differences in functions, whether they are dispatched or not, and the differences between being an official and being in office.

The new official salary system will ignore the difference between civil and military, pay attention to regional differences, focus on rewards and punishments for political achievements, emphasize birth but not only birth, look at resumes instead of resumes, and rely on official ranks instead of official ranks.

Furthermore, it is the core of the reform of the bureaucracy, and it is also the top-level design of the bureaucratic system of the country, which is the three-level decision-making system envisioned by Zhao Xi.

The court is the lowest level, then the political level, the cabinet, and finally his ruling as the king.

The court meeting is the first level of participation in politics, that is to say, participating in the court meeting is only qualified to participate in politics. To put it bluntly, it is the qualification to know the government affairs.

Participating in politics at the political level can check the government, but only in the form of memorials, and there is no criticism of the final policies.

Next is the level of political discussion, which should belong to the real court officials in the country.The chief officials of the Fourteen Mansions, the chief officials of the six ministries and nine ministers, the Royal Bank, the Workshop City, the Jiangwu Hall, and the newly established Shiyi Temple, the State-run Temple, and the Supervisory Office all have certain political seats.

This should be the level at which the North Korea policy is proposed.Arguments and debates can be made at this level, but once the policy is discussed and submitted to the cabinet, and after the emperor's ruling, no matter whether it is opposed or not, the next step is to implement it.

Further up is the level of the cabinet, which is now called Xianggong.

In Zhao Xi's setting, the cabinet, that is, the so-called minister now, is best to be elected and ruled by himself, and the emperor must have the final veto power.

It's just that it is impossible for Zhao Xi to replace all the ministers who are currently in office, so for the current cabinet, it can only be supplemented by ministers with the level of discussion.

Then, according to the vacancy in the discussion, make up for the discussion.

Zhao Xi even thought about the term of office, for example, he implemented the term system in the Supervisory Yamen, the State-run Temple and the Shiyi Temple...

In fact, the tenure of these yamen is only the tenure of the local office. There is really no restriction on those who are at the rank of the imperial court. Even the Zhengshitang did not mention it when formulating the relevant rules.

Once officials reach this level, it is the emperor who decides whether they will stay or not.

Zhao Xi wasn't sure if he was in the position of a king, whether he should limit the power of the king...he kept hesitating.
