Chapter 313: The Three Divisions
Li Di and Zhao Zhen looked at each other, neither of them expected Xu Ping to be so persistent this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAccording to his previous personality, Xu Ping rarely firmly opposes others, and will always find ways to persuade people before doing it. The exception in my impression was that the huge number of flying tickets in the hands of Henan Mansion could not be redeemed, and Xu Ping did not agree with Lu Yijian's use of political means to solve it anyway. Nearly two years have passed, and looking back, Xu Ping's insistence was correct, and the establishment of the bank has made many people understand the meaning of doing so.
This time it was such stubbornness again, no matter who had opposing opinions, Xu Ping just recognized that the party would oppose it, and that the war in the northwest would be fought. No matter what others say, Xu Ping just wants to use the strength of the three divisions to seriously prepare for the war that he thinks will happen. At this point, it is to bend the bow and string, just waiting for the arrow to be shot at the next command.
Will the war really break out? Zhao Zhen and Li Di also began to mumble in their hearts. Originally, they agreed with the opinion of the vast majority of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee, believing that Xiang Yuanhao of the party would only make some small troubles, but he would not dare to oppose it. But looking at Xu Ping's attitude and thinking about what Xu Ping did before, I really don't dare to be so sure anymore.
Originally, Xu Ping did so many things on his own initiative, although it was within the scope of the powers and responsibilities of the three divisions, but without consulting Zhongshu and the emperor in advance, he cooked raw rice into cooked rice, and Zhao Zhen and Li Di could blame Xu Ping. But Li Di didn't want to do this, if the party suddenly reversed a few months later, how could he still sit in the prime minister's seat?
Lu Yijian dismissed the prime minister, although it was because the king had used the method of redeeming the son, but when he left, he was still full of confidence, and decided that it would not be long before the imperial court would let him come back, but the fact was that he was now getting farther and farther away from the position of prime minister. Without him, Xu Ping, who disagreed with him at the time, did too well in the Third Division during this time, which more and more highlighted his mistakes at that time.
This lesson Li Di has in mind, how can he repeat Lu Yijian's mistakes, Li Di is no longer the impulsive Li Di of the year. During the Qianxing period, Ding Wei was in power, and he almost forced him to commit suicide with a small trick, but he was persuaded to endure it, but Ding Wei died in Gwangju a few months ago, but he Li Di was doing a good job as the prime minister in the court?
Who can tell the things of the world? If you don't understand it yourself, it's always right to be cautious.
Zhao Zhen's heart was still towards Xu Ping, and seeing that no one raised any objections, he said to Xu Ping: "Since this is the case, there will be another mailing department under the third division." You list the regulations, the number of officials required, report to the middle school, don't choose officials to do it. ”
Xu Ping held the wat to receive the order, and the matter was decided. As for the level of this mailing department and the qualifications of the chief officer, it is not something that can be determined in a hurry, and it will be slowly negotiated with a few yamen later.
At present, the affairs of the three divisions are numerous, and the number of yamen under them is also quite large, especially several economic entities such as the camp field business, the sugar industry business, and the bank, which are already too large. Now Xu Ping is the first of the three envoys, and he is determined to carry out reforms, and no one has used this matter against him yet. When the reform process eases down, or Xu Ping leaves office and is replaced, someone will definitely propose to split the three divisions. If the three divisions are not dismantled, the three envoys will be pressed on several governors.
The phrase that money and grain are the key link is not a matter of saying, once it is implemented in the administration, the status of the three divisions that oversee the world's money and grain will inevitably rise. The three envoys have the opportunity to do things alone, and the prime minister can still suppress them, but there is no way to participate in politics.
After discussing for a while, Xu Ping proposed the establishment of the mailing yamen, and finally decided to name it as the mailing department, which was directly subordinate to the three envoys. As for how the yamen operates, we will wait until Xu Ping reports it to make a decision.
After talking for a long time, Xu Ping felt that his mouth was dry, and his legs were a little sore after standing for too long. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I returned to my seat and sat down to take a sip of tea, and slowly eased up.
After calming down, Xu Ping got up again and stepped forward to hold the wat and play: "Your Majesty, at the end of the year, the "Accounting Record" is completed, if the court feels that there is nothing wrong, please pay for the seal of the department and distribute it to the ministers above the system for reference. It also needs to be stored in the Chongwen Academy, so that the pavilion officials can take it and read it at any time. Because this "Accounting Record" not only records the world's household registration and taxation in detail, but also records the new policies in the past two years, such as how companies and banks operate. After reading it, the officials have a clearer understanding of the new policy. ”
Seeing Zhao Zhen looking at himself, Li Di said: "Zhongshu thinks this matter is feasible, and now there is movable type to print, which does not cost much, and it is convenient and fast." Recently, there have indeed been a lot of new policies, and the status of ordinary officials is limited, so it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of peeping into the leopard. If you can read the "Accounting Record" in detail this time, you can solve the doubts in your heart and understand the new policy more clearly. ”
The advantage of the "Accounting Record" is that it is a summary of the entire national economy, which not only includes economic data for a period of time, but also depicts the outline of the entire economic operation. In fact, most officials are still limited by their own status and have no understanding of the overall problem, and they take advantage of this opportunity to make up for the shortcomings.
After the matter was decided, Xu Ping said again: "As the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, and the world's money and grain affairs, of course, must also abide by the rules." In the past two years, there have been a lot of edicts on the affairs of the three divisions, and in the eyes of other officials of the yamen, it is inevitable that they will look messy, and they will not be able to understand it. The minister invited the next year to compile an edict on the money and grain affairs of the three divisions, so that the world's money and grain affairs have rules to follow. ”
Zhao Zhen muttered: "The compilation is a major event of the imperial court, and it has not been ten years since the "Heavenly Sacred Order" was printed and promulgated in the world, is it too dense to compile the edict in the coming year?" Will it confuse the government and the people? In another two or three years, the law should be re-examined, can you three divisions wait until that time and compile it with other yamen? When things come together, it's always easier. ”
The Song Dynasty did not have a written code, but used the "Tang Law", and revised it by means of edicts, edicts, decrees, and examples. Therefore, when officials deal with government affairs, precedents are particularly important. Song Chengtang system, this is barely okay, now Xu Ping has made great changes to the economy, "Tang Law" can no longer adapt to the current reality. The revision of the legal code was a great political move, and it represented the political attitude of the imperial court, and it was impossible for Xu Ping to do so in his current position. The compromise method is to establish the new law in the form of codification. As for the complete establishment of a new legal system, it can only be done step by step.
In the early years of the Song Dynasty, there was no special compilation agency, and the Dali Temple was in charge of the first time, and later it was often a temporary official. In the seventh year of Tiansheng, he began to set up a "detailed compilation office", and ordered the prime minister Lu Yijian and the privy deputy envoy Xia Zhu to raise the pipe hook. After that, the compilation office became a special organization for sorting out imperial decrees, which was equivalent to the legislature of the Great Song Dynasty. As for the compilation of various yamen and local prefectures and counties, except in special circumstances, they are all carried out by the officials of their own yamen, and the imperial court will send special officials to see the details and delete them.
The edict of the three divisions was naturally sorted out by Xu Ping and the officials of the yamen, but he specially proposed it this time, which was obviously beyond the scope of ordinary compilation. To put it simply, the new economic measures need to be fixed in the form of written laws, and they should no longer be satisfied with the interpretation of edicts and edicts, but should be formed into systematic decrees. In doing so, it would be beyond the authority of the three divisions, so Xu Ping would play it specially, and it was best to have a special legislative yamen like the compilation office.
Zhao Zhen naturally knew what Xu Ping meant, and agreed that it was necessary to do so. However, since the seventh year of the Heavenly Sage promulgated the "Heavenly Sage Decree" in the world, it has been exactly nine years now, which is a little too early. There is a period of compilation, usually ten years, which is too dense and easy to cause confusion among the government and the people. What Zhao Zhen meant was that if it wasn't so eager, the three divisions could wait another year or two to merge with the national editor. At that time, there were promotion officials, deletion officials, and detailed officials, which were convenient and calm.
Xu Ping knew that he couldn't wait, how could he reform if the law changed and the law changed? Originally, the normal procedure was that the law should be changed first, and then the reform measures should be implemented, as was the case with the Regulation Department of the Three Divisions of Wang Anshi's law change. Because Xu Ping's reform measures basically did not conflict with the original decree, they were implemented in the form of one thing and one order, which can be regarded as a sneak away in serious terms. Now, with the deepening of reform, many drawbacks have begun to manifest themselves, and it is no longer possible to go on like this. For example, in the last loan fraud incident from Jingshi Bank, if there were no subsequent illegal incidents, it would be difficult to punish the loan fraud alone, which means that the law can no longer match the reality. As for the various economic contradictions between companies, the existing legal system is even more stretched. There are many economic conflicts, and the magistrates do not know what legal provisions to rely on to decide cases.
Everyone also saw this kind of reality, Xu Ping mentioned it, and couldn't help but talk about it.
It is imperative to codify economic affairs, but it is difficult to reach a consensus on the extent to which laws and regulations should be changed and what principles should be followed. Officials other than the three divisions tend not to make a big deal about the decrees, especially the "Heavenly Sacred Order" is not easy to compile, and it has already been promulgated in the world, so it is best to be included in it. Under the influence of Xu Ping, the officials of the three divisions also had more contact with specific financial and grain affairs, knowing that the original legal framework was difficult to adapt to, and were more inclined to abandon the original system. All the original laws and regulations on the economy should be taken out separately and re-edited and deleted to form a special economic law. In doing so, it will have an impact on the original legal system, and the economic laws and regulations are independent, so should other laws and regulations be independent? Do you still want to use "Tang Law"?
After a while, there was a dispute, and finally Zhao Zhen said: "This matter is not small, it is difficult to make a decision in an emergency, and it should be discussed in the long run." ”
Li Di said: "What Your Majesty said is true. According to the minister's opinion, it is better to follow the old practice in the Tiansheng period, set up the three edicts in detail, and send the minister to manage the Gou and make suggestions first. How it should be decided will be discussed after the previous chapter has been determined in detail. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded and agreed: "That's it, first set up a detailed edict of the three divisions, which can be promoted by Chen Zhizhong and Han Yi, and the officials below Xu Ping of the three divisions will look at the details and discuss them together." ”
