Strict decrees, no doubt.

As soon as Liu Xing's order came out, when the brigade was still rushing to Bianjing City, the cabinet that followed Zong Ze south to Beijing immediately became busy.

The Ministry of Officials is responsible for collecting the files of all officials above the prefectural level, and the Ministry of Household Affairs, together with the Ministry of Rites, is responsible for assisting in sorting out the origins of all officials and the proof of various relationships during the imperial examination. The Ministry of War compiled and compiled the information of officers down to the ninth grade, and the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs also joined in the action of compiling the files.

For a time, the six yamen, Tianshu, and the second privy council in Bianjing City were busy. Almost every day, it starts day and night, and the lights are still bright at night.

However, just when the various ministries were busy, Liu Xing suddenly thought of another way to speed up the development of the times.

The new directive was transmitted to the councils of the provinces, prefectures, and counties: all governors, governors, and county officials were to choose one of three, and three were to be nominated by the higher yamen as candidates.

Candidates take the stage to give speeches and debates, and inform the council of their respective policy strategies. The councillor feels that which candidate is suitable for local development, in line with local people's feelings, and will lead the local community to a better future, can vote for which candidate to vote for.

Once a candidate is elected, the governor and county officials serve for five years, and even the higher-level officials are not allowed to change their posts without the permission of the local advisors. Of course, except for those who were found to be corrupt and self-interested by the imperial history and Tiancewei.

The governors of each province are appointed for a term of four years, and the appointees are determined by a vote of the council, and the Celestial Council and the Cabinet are responsible for the nomination and final review. However, the final appointment power is in the hands of Sansuke.

As a result, when the local councillors received this order, they immediately became excited and shouted long live.

Why are they so happy? There are two reasons for this.

One. In the past few years. Officials are appointed on the land of the Central Plains, and who is appointed to be the officials of whom. It's never just a royal word, and there's nothing about your people.

However, Liu Xing's order this time directly handed over most of the final appointment power of the state capital and county officials to the counselors who were mostly from cloth clothes.

Returning the people's rights, Liu Xing didn't just say it. I really did it again, and handed over the appointment of the magistrate to the councilors, so that how could the councilors, who had all their strength, not shout long live?

Second, the governor, that is the second-grade officer. The people who have always been able to achieve the second-grade feudal officials are all emperors and confidants of a prime minister in the court.

They may not have a lot of say in the court. But when they returned to the localities, they often kept their word and no one dared to disobey their orders. But now the situation is about to change, and it is about to change dramatically.

The ministry nominated and Tianshu nominated the governor, but whether the governor could become a feudal official or not, he had to be elected by the advisors first. If the advisor doesn't like or approve of that person, then I'm sorry, even Liu Xing can't forcibly install that person in a certain province to be the governor.

But what? Even if someone is liked by the provincial councillor, after being elected, he has to go through the reconsideration of the Tianshu and the cabinet. Why is that? The reason is simple: to combat localism and strictly prohibit local gatekeepers from regaining control of the power apparatus.

In this way, the majority of the councilors have been given the right to vote and vote, and the gate valve forces have not been able to raise their heads, thus ensuring that the local prosperity and stability and the general strategy of peaceful development will not be undermined.

and all the people shall be just and honest. To return the people to civil rights, the people of the world to make the people's livelihood rich, Liu Xing's policy came out. How can you not let the world praise you......

Of course, nothing and no decision will be inevitable or singular.

In the seven provinces of Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Xikang, Shaanxi, and Dongchuan, Liu Xing directly issued a consultation decision on the appointment of local officials, and the governor voted to assist him. In the new province of Ningxia, Liu Xing's decree was implemented in a different way.

In Ningxia, the appointment of local officials is directly circled by the Ministry of Officials, and submitted to the local tribes and Han societies to vote in advance. Finally, let all the local people vote.

The governor of Ningxia has a certain amount of military power in his hands, and he is also the military power of the patrol army. Therefore, the selection of candidates is also privy, the second court of the Heavenly Pivot is the main decision, and the military department and the official department are assisted. Then, the local tribes, Han Chinese associations, and local officials will select candidates to serve as governors.

In this way, after the emperor had just lost his spiritual support, their clan leaders immediately had the right to decide on the appointment of officials. Liu Xing firmly believed that this move could quickly minimize the negative effects caused by Li Renai's forced relocation to Bianjing City in a short period of time.

Just with these advanced election models, of course, it is not enough. After the procession had traveled more than 100 miles, Liu Xing added another order: no candidate should contact the councilors, tribal chiefs, and community leaders without permission.

Except for speeches on the administration of the People's Republic of China and debates for open campaigns, those who are candidates for election are not allowed to enter the people without permission or contact the people to solicit votes.

Anyone who buys or canvass votes by illegal means during the election period and bribes voters will be severely punished once discovered. He will first be disqualified from the candidacy, immediately taken into custody, and then escorted to Bianjing to be tried and convicted of a felony. Even if the crime is minor, he will be banned from holding official positions or counselors for life.

What is and what is the meaning of Liu Xing's supplementary order? This is telling those candidates to be damn honest, don't think about letting you go to the election, you can use money and food to buy people's hearts and make you tired.

Why should Liu Xing prevent such a situation? In fact, there are two reasons for this.

First, the idea of being an official for wealth for thousands of miles has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of most officials in the officialdom of this land. However, in the current Northern Dynasties, high-ranking officials are only for the sake of honesty, and no official is allowed to change the law to exploit and oppress the local people.

Whoever dares to fish in the village will be severely punished, directly beheaded and confiscated of family property, and his family will also become a "criminal queen" and be listed as a person with "five prohibitions".

And what is the origin of the people who can make many officials fish and eat the common people? It is precisely those officials who, in order to become officials, will try their best to realize their long-cherished wish to become officials by paying bribes, giving gifts, and paying to the powerful.

However, once the wish is fulfilled, it will still become the backing of the local officials to collect money and give it to them, and their backing will gradually become new gatekeepers and wealthy families with this black income.

This is not allowed to appear in the territory of the Northern Dynasties, and it is also what Liu Xing hates the most. Because of this black chain, the ultimate victim is the lowest level and the largest number of ordinary people.

Second, if the candidates spend money to buy votes and bribe votes, who will dare to ensure that those people's butts are clean and that the money they pay for the council comes from a clean source?

In case some local illegal associations, the leaders of the undead tribes have reached some kind of tacit agreement with someone who only wants to be an official. Well, such as the "black gold politics" on a large island in the future, will inevitably be staged in the Northern Dynasties.

Regarding the harm of that kind of "black gold politics", Liu Xing is very clear and disgusting from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, take precautions and directly cut off the possible root causes of that kind of "black gold politics".

Whoever dares to engage in irregularities for personal gain and form interest groups in a vain attempt to control officialdom is tantamount to seeking a dead end and bringing about his own destruction. Whoever wants to control officialdom through money will only end up in one way, that is, he will be ruined and ruined. (To be continued.) )
