Chapter 179 Stove

"I only have a rough idea of ​​the specific government framework."

Ying Yi said: "You two, listen first. If there are any flaws or omissions, you can slowly make up for them."

Dao: "The head of a state is Mu, named Zhou Mu, which has existed since ancient times. There are five departments of human affairs, agriculture, commerce, ink, and taxation under the Yamen of Zhoumu, which are in charge of population, farming, commerce, industry, and taxation. Below the Yufa Yamen Establish two departments of law and law enforcement, responsible for revising and changing laws, and executing arrests and trials. This is the big framework, two yamen and six departments. How to subdivide it below? The two of you will discuss and come up with a charter first. I will review it and then wait. Slow to change.”

Since Ying Yi was independent, he had no intention of continuing to use the Ming system. However, establishing a new system is not an easy task, and it cannot be done in just three or two days.

He made Henan a state, set up a state pastor to take charge of government affairs, and set up an imperial envoy to take charge of the rule of law. The seven divisions under the two yamen may seem rough, but they are the result of Ying Yi's careful consideration.

As for the complexity of government departments, in fact, the era hundreds of years from now will be much more complicated than this era. Because in the era that followed hundreds of years later, there was a huge explosion of industries, society became extremely complex, and many aspects were involved. The country needed to take into account all aspects, so many departments that did not exist in the feudal era were born.

The current era is much simpler and simpler than it would be a few hundred years later, so there is no need to set up more complicated departments. At the beginning, start slowly, start simple, look for omissions and flaws in practice, and then slowly make up for them.

The five departments of Population, Agriculture, Commerce, Industry and Taxation under the Zhou Mu Yamen are enough for the time being. If they are not enough, they will be added later.

As for the imperial court, it is divided into two major departments: legislation and law enforcement. The same reason applies.

In this era, there is no such thing as boiling or spring. There is not much to say about whether the guilty should be killed, exiled, or served.

As long as the law is established and the trial is carried out according to the law, it doesn't have to be too complicated.

"Everything related to people, such as population statistics, household registration entry and cancellation, and education and education, belongs to the Department of Human Resources and Social Security. Everything related to agriculture, farming, animal husbandry, and breeding, etc., belongs to the Department of Agriculture. Everything related to trade, Buying and selling, as well as the circulation of gold and silver coins, and everything related to commerce and money, belong to the Commercial Affairs Department. Everything related to manufacturing, technology, etc., belongs to the Mohs Affairs Department. Everything related to taxation belongs to the Taxation Department."

"As for the Imperial Law Yamen, there are two departments: Legislation and Law Enforcement. Let's talk about the Legislative Department first. Law is rules. Without rules, there is nothing. What I mean is to first gather scholars who understand the laws of the past dynasties to compile a law that involves the state. I will make a decision on all the laws and regulations related to the various departments under the Mu Yamen after I have reviewed them. Before that, I will follow the Ming Law."

"The Law Enforcement Division is a semi-violent yamen. What I mean is that soldiers who have retired from the military or left the military due to minor injuries can serve as law enforcement officers in the Law Enforcement Division."

Ying Yi roughly stated his ideas. Although it was not perfect, neither Zheng Yunzhi nor Sun Xiucai had any objections.

Sun Xiucai said: "My lord's two offices and seven divisions may not be perfect yet, but in the eyes of my subordinates they are already very good."

Zheng Yunzhi twisted his beard and smiled and said: "There are some omissions. To promote and demote personnel, there must be a Yamen in charge. The imperial court also has a staff department."

Ying Yi smiled when he heard this and said: "I have thought about this. But my place is different from that of previous dynasties. I have a humane list to check the humane achievements, but there is no need to deliberately set up such a yamen. I will set up a secretary. The Secretary belongs directly to me, and all officials are promoted from the Secretary Department."

Zheng Yunzhi and Sun Xiucai didn't say anything after hearing this.

This is an obvious thing, and Ying Yi must take control of personnel matters by himself.

Then he said: "Two yamen and seven departments, the specific structure, after my father-in-law and the scholar go down, they will think about it first. The most important thing right now is manpower."

He said: "Henan is not big, but it is not small either. If we want to swallow the whole of Henan, we must have fewer people to govern the place."

Zheng Yunzhi nodded and said: "That's right. Kaifeng is an important city in the Central Plains and has countless students. It should not be difficult to recruit officials."

Ying Yi smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not that easy. The officials I want, the father-in-law and the scholar should all know that they are not the kind who can only read books from sages and talk nonsense, I want people with practical ability. "

The scholar smiled and said: "Don't worry, my lord. As Mr. Zheng said, there are many scholars in Kaifeng. From thousands of choices, you can always choose some."

Ying Yi laughed: "That's right."

Then he said: "Then leave this matter to my father-in-law."

He set his sights on Zheng Yunzhi: "Everything is people-oriented. My father-in-law has an outstanding vision and is good at governing. You are the only one who can do this."

Zheng Yunzhi chuckled: "You should obey your orders."

Ying Yi nodded and looked at the scholar again: "My father-in-law's first task is to recruit enough officials to prepare for swallowing up the whole of Henan. As for you, scholar, you also have something important to do."

The scholar bowed and said with a smile: "But please give me your orders, my lord."

Ying Yi said: "There are many wealthy families in Kaifeng, and there are countless lawbreakers among them. Now that I have newly acquired Kaifeng, I will swallow up the whole of Henan. Many places need money, food and materials, and what I have stored in Yuzhou alone may not be enough." "

Sun Xiucai suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Kill the fat pig?"

Ying Yi and Zheng Yunzhi laughed loudly: "We are killing fat pigs." Ying Yi said with a straight face: "This pig killing is a pig killing. Those who have bad deeds and ignore the law should be killed. But some have a good reputation and are not evil. Those who leave traces must not mess around."

Sun Xiucai said: "Lord, don't worry."

Ying Yi nodded with satisfaction: "I will give you the command of my 2,500 personal guards. If anyone resists, just kill them."

Sun Xiucai said: "It's so foolproof."

After deciding on the strategy, Ying Yi said: "There are millions of households in Kaifeng. The intruders have been besieging the city for a long time, and many people have difficulty making ends meet. This is a top priority. There are only two ways to solve this problem. Buying grain and farming together. . Purchasing food is very important, and farming is even more important. But before farming, we have to count the population and distribute the land. There is a gap for a period of time, and a lot of food needs to be consumed. I don’t care how to do it, Mr. Yue Zhang, You will be the governor of Henan Province."

Zheng Yunzhi was startled and said, "This is inappropriate."

Ying Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Appropriate."

He said firmly: "I say it's appropriate."

Zheng Yunzhi opened her mouth and could only say: "That's fine."

In fact, I am really happy.

Ying Yi said to Sun Xiucai again: "Xiucai is the imperial envoy."

The scholar grinned: "I didn't expect that a mere scholar like me could be in charge of the rule of law in a state. Looking back, it's really embarrassing."

Ying Yi laughed loudly: "What's the point? Once the world is settled, the rule of law in just one state will not be enough."
