I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 610
In the spring of the 13th year of Zhenghe in the Great Song Dynasty, the first great court meeting of Guochao was finally about to be held.

This also indicates that Zhao Xi's reform of the official system and the three-level decision-making system were finally officially implemented in the Song Dynasty.

Before that, the cabinet members suggested changing the reign title, but Zhao Xi refused for a very simple reason...the fortune of the country is booming.

Although Zhao Xi knew that the year name had nothing to do with the National Games, this reason was the most convincing.

Since the government was released on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, political participation in the remote prefectures and counties of the country began to gather in Bianliang. The daily passenger transport of rail carriages is also ready to transport special trains for political participation at any time.

Therefore, the imperial court also allocated special funds for post stations and rail transportation.

Most people who entered Bianliang to participate in politics and discuss state affairs are familiar with Bianliang, because most of them passed the examination and passed the examination, and then they were sent out to serve as local officials.

It's just that going to Beijing this time is different from before, this time it's a trip to Beijing to show your status.

If you think about it, you will know that in the Guochao, the entire cabinet participating in politics and deliberations is counted. If there are less than 500 people, being able to participate in the Great Court Assembly means that you have entered the highest power class in the Guochao...~
Whether this is true or not is a matter of opinion.In general, such a mechanism declares a concept: the ideological unity of the state from top to bottom, and there will no longer be a situation where government orders are only in Bianliang.

"Stunning the crowd, what a great success!"

Wang Yu fell ill again in winter, and he just got better. After accompanying his father to see off the first wave of visitors, he whispered to his father.

"Xiao'er, are you tired? Let Pang'er stay with Daddy tomorrow."

Wang Anshi looked at the official robe dangling on his son, and couldn't bear to scold him.But he didn't seem to have scolded Xi'er for his unscrupulous words.

In Wang Yu's eyes, any new law that was not implemented by his father is not a good new law.

But Wang Anshi was deeply moved!I have experienced the changes brought about by these new policies of the government.

Just like the uninterrupted visits these days.It is said that old disciples have come to Beijing to visit, it is better to say that they are all here to seek advice.

Participating in the administration and deliberation of a country's government does not mean that you only enjoy rights without assuming obligations.Every person who participates in and discusses state affairs needs to submit a policy theory to the imperial court, a policy theory on his own government affairs or the affairs of his own jurisdiction.

Most of these visits came to the cabinet's mansion to ask questions.

This is also the source of Wang Xi's grandstanding.

Wang Anshi didn't scold his son, but it doesn't mean he agrees with his son's statement.His body was certainly one of the reasons for letting him rest, but his open mouth was the main reason.

Use this method to remind your son.

Wang Yu looked at his father's expression, paused and said, "My child understands, let my next brother stay with my father."

And at Han Qi's residence, it was his eldest son Fan Zhongyan who accompanied Han Qi to receive visitors.

Han Zhongyan is now the magistrate of Dingzhou, and has been nominated to discuss politics, and he is highly valued by Han Qi.

Letting the son accompany the visitor also means introducing the son to the old disciples.

The three-level decision-making system of Guochao, in Han Qi's opinion, means that if one wants to make a difference in the future court, relations in the officialdom should play a greater role than before.

"Daddy, Chunyan is very different from the past."

Han Chunyan is not participating in politics or discussing politics, but he is equally qualified to participate in the political meeting. He was transferred back to Beijing to supervise the political meeting by the chief inspector's office.

Because when he was working in Huaizhou, he hosted two supervision cases and was named by Fan Chunren to Beijing.

As for whether Han Qi has face, who can say for sure.

"As a father, I want to stay in the martial arts hall for a while. That place is a bit strange, like a furnace. After coming out, it is full of talents."

In the past few days, visitors have encountered Chunyan, and Han Qi found that his son's official accent was better than him.

Han Qi also understood that his official accent was genuine, but his son's official accent came from the heart.

"Father, the Great Court Association requires everyone to write a current theory. My child is puzzled. In this way, it is equivalent to the fact that all the ministers and workers who participated in the Great Court Association have a report."

"According to the agenda of the Great Court Conference, all proposals must be answered. There are hundreds of transcripts, how can the cabinet not reply all within seven days? Will it eventually become a mere formality?"

"Officials have always attached great importance to the credibility of the court. If the proposal cannot be answered, the implementation of this three-level decision-making system may lose its prestige."

It's not that Han Zhongyan has never participated in the previous court meetings, and he can yell about big things for a long time.Not even one thing can be resolved in one court meeting.

In the current court system, the government actually requires everyone to have a playbook, and it must be a playbook with something to say.

It was hard for him to imagine how the imperial court would reply to these memorials. I am afraid that the cabinet would not even have time to read the memorials.

"Zhongyan, your brother Chunyan just came to the house for a visit, and then entered the Palace of Qinzheng. Why do you think?"

"All those who participate in the discussion of state affairs must submit their memorials to the Secretary's Pavilion three days before the Great Court Meeting. The clerks of the imperial government's yamen and the students of the Gongyuan Guozijian have all gathered in the Secretary's Pavilion at this time."

"The censors who supervise the yamen are responsible for registering the memorials, and then hand them over to the students of the Guozijian Gongyuan, who will classify the submitted memorabilia, and finally hand them over to the scribes of the court's yamen."

"Those related to the Ministry of Officials are taken away by the Ministry of Officials, and those related to the Ministry of War are taken away by the Ministry of War, and each performs its duties."

"In fact, all the memorials have entered the process of processing and replying from the time they were received by the court. The department of each yamen sorts out the same kind of memorials first, and then responds to the government affairs proposed by the memorials. Those who cannot reply or deal with If the authority is limited, hand it over to the strong officials."

"In this way, one level at a time, different official ranks deal with different memorials and proposals. Even if you are a father, you will have to enter the Palace of Political Affairs in a few days...~Those that cannot be handled by the court's various yamen will eventually be handed over to the cabinet for discussion. .”

Is there a lot of hundreds of copies?If it was the previous court, the previous mode of handling memorials, in such a short period of time, the court received so many grand memorials, indeed a lot.It may take several years for all the memorials to be answered and processed, and some of them won't even look at them.

However, for the current deliberative system, hundreds of memorials are really not a big deal.

Han Qi really admired the officials' ideas more and more.

Hundreds of memorials were first read by the scribes and then classified according to the functions of the yamen.The Guibing Ministry involving the Ministry of War and the Guiling Ministry involving the Ministry of Officials should be sent to Gongfang City by Gongfang City, which should be Shiyi Temple and belong to Shiyi Temple.

Then, there were divisions in each yamen of the imperial court, and the division of labor began according to the functions of the yamen.For example, the Ministry of War, the Armed Forces or the Staff, the Driving Department or the Treasury Department, each took away the memorials related to each division.

If it was left in the past, these yamen might simply throw these memorials aside... ~ Each yamen has a customary habit of handling government affairs, no matter what kind of memorials, for those yamen officials, they simply don't bother to read them.

It's different now, the censors are patrolling, constantly chasing progress, and must complete all the answers to the playbooks before the Great Court Meeting.

Layers of division of labor, responsibilities assigned to people, each performing their own duties, each shouldering its own responsibilities.This is the processing flow of the royal court memorial.

If the clerk can't solve it, report it to the Lang Zhong. If the Lang Zhong exceeds the authority, it will be decided by the assistant minister.

Finally, the memorials that required the cooperation and coordination of multiple departments were compiled and extracted by the chief officials of each yamen, and then submitted to the cabinet in a unified way, and the cabinet discussed and resolved them one by one.

Regardless of the fact that there may be more than 500 memorials, the first submission time is different, and there are only a dozen or dozens of memorials received by the clerks of the yamen every day.

Then it is assigned to the Yamen Yousi, and then passed on to the top...~ In this way, each official will not have too many memorials on hand, and even on average, each court official in each government office will not have five memorials directly disposed of.

"Daddy, there are likely to be a lot of useless and repetitive things in the notebook of hundreds of people, which is a bit time-consuming and labor-intensive."

Han Qi looked at his son... Those who don't understand the clues will never know how strict the official process is.

"Zhongyan, the agenda of the Great Court Meeting is different from the previous ones, very different. In the previous Great Court Meetings, officials asked ministers if they had any records, but under the new system, the Great Court Meetings are for the court to answer and resolve government affairs."

"And before answering and resolving the memorial, there is another procedure in the Dachaohui, which is to announce the situation of the memorial by the supervisory office."

"For example, how many people are involved in farming and mulberry? How many people are involved in military affairs? How many people are involved in political affairs? How many are involved in farmland and water conservancy, and how many are about salt, iron, tea and wine, etc."

"At the same time, just like Dabi, the imperial court will select the memorials that are really beneficial to the imperial court from various yamen, and publish them."

"That's not to mention, the imperial court will also rank and announce the quality of the memorials according to the origin of participating in the state affairs, and according to the prefectures and counties of Luzhou. As for the similar memorials, you should know what the result will be!"

"You don't need to stay at home any longer. It is only a matter of calling Dingzhou's political participation and reaffirming the court's request. Participation in political affairs has a term of office, but it does not say that the term of office cannot be exempted. If you are really incompetent, the supervisor Yamen is not merciful."

I think the request of the imperial court should be clear in a few days.

In fact, on this issue, the court is really not worried.The so-called Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second, the officials of the country, no one thinks that they are inferior to others, and the possibility of plagiarizing the memorial is almost impossible.

It's just that the imperial court's measures to appraise the memorials are what the prefectures and counties should worry about.

If it is said that the big comparison is about individuals, then the big court announcement is about the governance and pragmatism of a state capital.

This article was passed unanimously during the cabinet deliberations, with almost no opposition.

Han Qi did not object to the topic of the Great Court Report.

The reason is that the officials have a clear intention to decentralize power in the process of disposing of the Dachaohui memorial, and assign responsibilities to people at all levels, which in itself is the intention to decentralize power.

Power is indeed delegated.Allowing officials at different levels to have the right to handle affairs at different levels during the Great Court Meeting... This is also Zhao Xi's attempt to take advantage of the opportunity of the Great Court Meeting to try to deal with government affairs with individual responsibilities.

Such a measure will not affect the Shangguan's command over the affairs of the yamen, or in other words, it can better understand the capabilities of the yamen officials.

The Dachaohui will not only publish the playbook, but also the answer to the disposal of the playbook.

The memorandum requires something to be said, which will guide officials to understand people's livelihood in a down-to-earth manner and truly deal with government affairs.

Zhao Xi knew well how the local officials of the country governed.

The ethos that Guochao has formed over the years, as long as it is in order, everything will be fine.The so-called being an official means sitting in an official position. You don't need to do anything. Even if you hang around for a few years, you can still be promoted according to the grind.

Zhao Xi's proposal of the Dachao Hui's official procedure is to spur the ministers to do things with what they want.

Participating in and discussing state affairs is the top level of power in the country. It involves all aspects of the country. Whoever has the status of participating in state affairs will not be willing to discard it.

The request of the playbook, the annual grand court meeting, will inevitably force the ministers and workers to really manage affairs and govern affairs in order to keep their positions in participating in and discussing state affairs.

One link after another, this has always been the way to promote the change of the country.

Zhao Xi believes that as long as this is implemented for a few years, the official atmosphere of the entire country will be greatly improved.

As for the first court meeting... Zhao Xi really didn't dare to have much hope.

He didn't have much hope, but he didn't dare to neglect those local officials who came to participate in the Great Court Meeting...~
What Han Qi told his son spread among the ministers within a few days... It was not necessary to keep it secret.The reason why it has not been made public is because the ministers and workers said that there is something in it, which is what it should be.

However, for the court's ministers and workers, the court's request caught them a little by surprise.

For a while, the Goulan Restaurant, which was originally bustling because of the Great Court, suddenly became deserted again.

The chief officials of the state capital are all the leaders of the state government participating in the discussion and administration of state affairs. Who wants to embarrass themselves among their colleagues if they can achieve the position of chief official of the state capital?Therefore, the leaders of the state capitals asked the subordinate officials to concentrate on writing the memorial...

During this period of time, Zhao Xi also kept meeting with his ministers, which could be regarded as a way of debriefing.

"Officials, the trial planting of cotton in Hehuang has already achieved results, and it can be widely promoted this year..."

When Wang Shao met His Majesty, he originally wanted to talk about his next step to open up trade routes in the Western Regions.As a result, the first sentence of the official interview was actually a question about cotton...

Guochao's two victories against Liaoxia created a very favorable environment for Wang Shao to open Bianhehuang.

Over the years, he has regained the attachment of hundreds of tribes, large and small, in Hehuang. In the Hehuang area, except for Qingtang City, which was stubbornly held by Tubo, most of them have been attached to the Great Song Dynasty.

Even Qingtang City, because of the interests of wool, has become dependent on Da Song.

In Wang Shao's view, it was time to recover the entire territory of Hehuang, send troops westward, open up the commercial routes in the Western Regions, and form a siege of Xixia.

It can also be regarded as completing the results described in his "Ping Rong Ce".

"Do you feel that you have reached the point of strategic encirclement of Xixia?"

Zhao Xi could see Wang Shao's thoughts.

"Zichun, there are more than 20 new troops in the country, and now they can't even garrison the border. How can we talk about expanding the territory? Some things need to be taken slowly."

"Those who want to fight against the outside world must first settle down inside. What Zhao Xianggong said is still reasonable. Although the two victories against Liao and Xia, in fact, the country does not yet have the military power to destroy the country. This is why the court asked Hehuang to The root cause is that appeasement is the main reason and suppression is supplemented."

"Three to five years...~Maybe with another three to five years of accumulation, the country will have considerable strength...~If soldiers point to the Western Regions now, I am worried that we will startle the snake."

Knowing the progress of the cotton trial, Zhao Xi is also stingy to explain to Wang Shao the established general direction of the country...~If you want to fight against the outside, you must first settle inside.
