Chapter 270 Central Organization

On the basis of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, the Yi Pavilion was established with equivalent powers. Changing the title was, on the one hand, different from the previous dynasty, and on the other hand, it also had some connotations in it.

The direction of civilization development in Ying Yi's new dynasty was definitely very different from the previous ones. The Humanity and Yuan Qi programs are the foundation, and the Yuan Qi program is based on the Book of Changes.

Furthermore, Yi means change. Yige Tianguan is also a soldier with an iron-clad camp and smooth flow. The term of office of each Yige Tianguan is ten years, and it will become easier in time. At the same time, it also means that the development of things follows the principles of eternal change and seeking innovation and change.

Under the Yi Pavilion, there are two chambers of pastoral administration and imperial law. One is in charge of government and the other is in charge of law. Set up Zuolang Guanshi as the secretarial agency directly under the two houses. The head of the Pastoral Council is the Prime Minister in charge of world affairs, and the head of the Royal Court is the prime minister in charge of world affairs.

Under the Pastoral Council, there are nine departments. They are the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Ink, the Ministry of Taxation, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites.

The head of each department is the minister.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of finance, population and household registration, nationality management, social welfare, official salaries, land inventory, measurement and rationing and other matters. There are divisions based on functional divisions.

The Ministry of Commerce is in charge of the issuance of national currency, adjusting economic policies, formulating price stabilization, foreign trade, etc. A division has been established accordingly.

The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for the research and improvement of planting, animal husbandry, forestry, aquatic products, agricultural reclamation and related agricultural technologies, and has corresponding departments.

The Ministry of Education is responsible for the education of the people, student examinations, and related cultural industries. There are corresponding departments.

The Mo Ministry is based on studying technology, studying Yuanfu, Yuanqi, etc., innovating technology and patent management, and promoting national development, and has corresponding departments.

The Tax Department is in charge of customization, innovation, collection, adjustment, etc. of taxes for all industries across the country, and has corresponding departments.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction of national infrastructure, including the construction of roads, bridges, water conservancy, palaces, government offices and other facilities. The slave labor camps belong to the Ministry of Industry, and there are corresponding departments.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the infrastructure construction of the world's armed forces, the recruitment, establishment, initial training, military manuals and research on military warfare technology, as well as the salaries and benefits of military personnel. There are corresponding departments.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of etiquette, publicity and enlightenment of national festivals, sacrifices and folk etiquette, and moral propaganda and enlightenment. It also controls inns, pond newspapers, etc., as the mouthpiece of the country, facing the people and the outside world. There are corresponding departments.

Under the Imperial Court, there are three departments, which are responsible for law research, legislation and law enforcement.

The function of the Law Research Department is to study, find and improve loopholes in the law. There is no need to say much about legislation and law enforcement. Correspondingly, there are patrol, security, prison, execution and other departments established.

In this way, the three-level structure of the central governing body of the new dynasty was formed. One pavilion, two chambers, and twelve departments.

There are fourteen cabinet ministers in Yi Ge, including the Prime Minister of the Pastoral Council as the Heavenly Official Prime Minister, the Prime Minister of the Imperial Court as the Second Assistant of the Earth Officials, and twelve ministers as members.

All major national affairs come from Yi Pavilion and are implemented by the twelve departments of the two houses.

Under the twelve ministries, there are departments at each level, which are established as appropriate according to specific circumstances.

In addition to the twelve departments of the two houses of Yige, there are also the Department of Humanitarian Supervision and the Department of National Security. I am only responsible to Ying Yi.

The Humane Supervisor is in charge of personnel matters such as the promotion, appointment, and demotion of officials. Similar to the previous powers of the Ministry of Personnel. According to the increase or decrease in the humanitarian merits of the corresponding officials on the humanitarian list within a certain period of time, and in combination with the actual situation, the corresponding sentence will be imposed. The Ministry of Rites only has the power to examine and recommend officials. It is the Humane Supervisor who decides the fate of officials.

The Ministry of National Security summarizes the functions and powers of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and other secret service agencies. It consists of three internal and external departments, one for internal affairs, one for external affairs, and one for supervision. Those responsible for monitoring and protecting officials are responsible for monitoring and protecting officials, while those for outsiders are responsible for investigating and stealing secrets. They are Ying Yi's eyes, ears and knife.

While the governance structure is being drawn up, the classification of officials is also newly released. From ninth level to super level, there are ten levels and twenty levels in total, divided into main and deputy levels. There are only two super-class members, namely the prime ministers of the two houses of government. The ministers of each department are of the same rank. Representative ones, such as state shepherds, imperial envoys of various states, and the largest local feudal official, are second-grade. For example, the governor at the prefectural level is the fourth rank, and the chief at the county level is the seventh rank. The lowest level, including village-level chiefs, is the twentieth-level official of the lower ninth rank.

The rise and fall of an official's rank is directly related to the humanitarian merits of the corresponding official.

At the same time, the twentieth-level military merit title will also be included in the government affairs system, and those who have made outstanding achievements will be awarded the title. But it is extremely strict, and the power of conferring titles is in the hands of the Humane Supervisor, that is, in the hands of Ying Yi.

Under the framework of the central governing body, local governance bodies also emerged as the times require. The state is the highest-level local governance area, and the state has state pastors, royal envoys, and corresponding departments. Under the state is the government, which has the government officials, the imperial envoys, and the corresponding departments. Under the government are counties, with county officials, imperial envoys, and corresponding departments.

The divisions under the county are divided into district magistrates, patrol envoys, and corresponding divisions.

Finally, there is the village level, with the village chief.

As the sun rises, the structure of a governing body from central to local levels has already taken shape.

Of course, in addition to government affairs, the military must also make corresponding reforms, but it has nothing to do with Zheng Yunzhi and others. The military and political affairs are separated.

Under the Pastoral Council, except for the Ministry of War, which is the only connection with the military, everything else has nothing to do with it.

"This is how the new governance framework has been roughly set." Ying Yi concluded: "You are all close people who have followed me step by step. You know what to do. Just don't let me down. "

Then he said: "Although there are all kinds of difficulties now, I believe that you can do what you should do. The world is not peaceful yet. Regarding government affairs, I don't have much energy to go to the district, so I rely on you."

Finally, it was announced: "Zheng Yunzhi is temporarily acting as Prime Minister of the Pastoral Council, and Sun Wen is temporarily acting as Prime Minister of the Imperial Court. Zhao Huaizhun is temporarily acting as Minister of Civil Affairs, and Liu Yiqian is acting as Minister of Commerce. In addition, Jiang Xi, who stayed in Henan, is temporarily acting as Minister of Mo Ministry. . The remaining ministers are vacant. As soon as the affairs are dealt with, you will take charge first and put up the structure. Those who have made merit will be promoted after their achievements."

The effect of this night's discussion on the new dynasty was unparalleled. With the corresponding structure in place, and based on the administrative experience of a prefecture in Henan, a central governing body will be established soon. Once the central governing body is established, local governing bodies will naturally emerge.

This is a top-down system and a guiding and decisive plan.

"Twelve departments in one pavilion and two courtyards. The office is located in the Forbidden City. With Qianqing Palace as the center, just arrange the location reasonably." Ying Yi stood up and said, "Breakfast must have been prepared in the imperial dining room. Everyone, follow me. Let’s have a meal together, and then go to rest. After resting, we can start working on the affairs of the world!”

He waved to the young eunuch who had been guarding outside the palace all night, and ordered him to pass on the meal. In the Qianqing Palace, he had a banquet with Zheng Yunzhi and more than a hundred people.
