Chapter 246 There is a trade-off between the transfer of military to civilian and the division of civil and military powers

The Ministry of War has always been in charge of the transfer matter.

The so-called transshipment means that when the war begins, the grain and grass of all sides will be transported to the troops needed at the front in the fastest and shortest time.

However, throughout the history of China before the Song Dynasty, no one in power would have thought of including civilian chariots, horses, boats, and boats in the scope of consent control.

Liu Xing's new set of laws on transshipment ostensibly only strengthens control. But whether it is Zong Ze or Zhang Suo, or Wu Jue, the feudal official sitting on the side, knows very well that with the several sets of new laws in front of Liu Xing, this transfer must be related to military affairs later.

Sure enough, under the attention of Zong Ze, Zhang Suo and Wu Jue, Ouyang Xun only paused slightly, did not dare to take his tea bowl again, and reopened his mouth after breathing a sigh of relief.

"In the event of a civil disaster, the transport supervisors in various localities have the right to requisition chariots, horses, boats and boats from all over the locality, and pay them according to the market price or half of the market price." Lowering his head and looking at the paperwork in his hand, Ouyang Xun said this and glanced up at everyone.

Seeing that no one in the crowd raised any questions, he continued: "In case of war, the transshipment departments in various localities have the right to requisition all carriages, horses, boats and ships without compensation. After the end of the war, the local yamen will agree to compensate. According to the new law, anyone who hides or obstructs the transfer of chariots and horses during the war will be severely punished immediately and sent to the camp first. When the war is over, it will be handed over to the three legal divisions in various places for severe punishment. ”

"Wait." Hearing Ouyang Xun say this, Zhang Suo's eyes suddenly widened and his face was suspicious and interrupted him.

Looking sideways at Liu Xing, Zhang Suo immediately asked, "Mrs. Liu, what are the three law divisions in various places?" Are you in this new law? Is it possible that even the three law divisions have been delegated to various prefectures and counties? ”

A shallow smile. Liu Xing still didn't answer his question directly. Instead, he looked sideways at Hu Yin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and glanced at him.

Hu Yin understood, and immediately took out the documents, handed them to Zhang Suo and Zong Ze, and said: "According to the new law, the order of each county will only be in charge of the affairs of a certain county in the future. For example, the power to hear and investigate cases is assigned to the inspectors, judges, and patrol officers added by the county government. ”

After seeing Zong Ze, Zhang Suo, and Wu Jue, all of whom carefully looked at the documents he handed over, Hu Yin continued: "The patrol is responsible for raising the sentence, the judge is responsible for trying the case, and the patrol officer is responsible for arresting and detaining criminals. In this way, we will put an end to the recurrence of the kind of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases that often occurred in the past. ”

That is to say. From each county to the state capital, and then to the road, there should be a local three-law division, do I understand it correctly? Hearing Hu Yin's words stop, Zong Ze opened his mouth to answer and asked Liu Xing.

Smiling and nodding, Liu Xing said: "Yes, put an end to unjust, false and wrongful cases, and put an end to the county official's word." From now on, the county officials will only be responsible for managing all local affairs, and all the actual power will be delegated to the relevant county officials. Each county has a teaching and Xuanhui in charge of culture and education. Set up salt and iron Cao, fishery and agricultural officials, and transport officials to be in charge of all affairs in the county. The county magistrate has the right to supervise and coordinate the transfer, but has no right to appoint or dismiss these people. ”

"Then in whose hands is the right to appoint and dismiss these people?" When Zhang heard this, he spoke again, and there was another question.

Seeing that he was immediately interested in the right of appointment and dismissal. Liu Xing secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, he is a person who looks righteous and awe-inspiring, and secretly still wants to fight for power and profit.

Although he didn't like Zhang Suo's thoughts very much, Liu Xing still replied to him: "The county officials are appointed by the government. The government officials are appointed by the road government. In the past, it is necessary to put an end to the situation that cronyism, county officials and government officials are actually private subordinates of county officials, and this is also to eliminate the occurrence of maladministration and corruption to the greatest extent. ”

"Won't this lead to the division of power between the officials and the county order, the struggle for power, and even the resistance to the county order by relying on the power of the government office?" When it comes to rights, Zhang's questions are one after another.

Knowing that he was more interested in the desire for power, Liu Xing still replied with a smile: "The county officials can share power and have no exclusive responsibilities. If the county officials dare to resist the county order, the supervisors and inspectors under the Imperial Historical Observatory specially set up by each county and each prefecture can immediately investigate and deal with it according to the situation. Positions are appointed by the yamen at the next higher level, but whoever they are must obey the instructions and appoint the chief officials of the yamen at the next level. ”

In the last sentence, Liu Xingjiang's words are so straightforward that even a child can understand them.

After Zhang Suo heard this, he completely understood in his heart: Oh, it turned out that he was an official appointed by the government and went down to the county seat to call the county order. The government can supervise the county ordinance, but it cannot directly interfere with the administration of the county ordinance.

This seems to give the government a lot of power, but in fact, while strengthening the government to manage the counties, it is also equivalent to letting the government make a big wedding dress for the counties.

Divide the power, but let this right restrain and tie each other, and no one should think of monopolizing power and acting autocraticly.

If someone accidentally makes a mistake, you look at the inconspicuous officials in a county office, maybe you can go directly to the prefect to sue the county official. Turn around, if your prefect does not do things well or engages in favoritism, maybe a county order will bring you down at any time.

This is using a whole set of seemingly airtight systems to completely block the channel of local fraud and prevent the possibility of breeding again! This is also a kind of routine of believing in people and employing people, but not only believing and using, which really makes those magistrates invulnerable......

"Taifu is really a genius in the world."

Thinking of this secretly, a smile appeared on Zhang Suo's face, and he looked at Liu Xing and exclaimed: "According to this law, those magistrates can only be cautious in their words and deeds in the future, and be strict with themselves to serve the court and the people wholeheartedly. Dare to make trouble, dare to be knocked down by a small official around him anytime and anywhere, this kind of restriction is far more effective and deterrent than 100,000 imperial history! ”

"The new law stipulates that those who are officials can be generous without having to be high-ranking officials." Ignoring Zhang Suo's praise at all, Liu Xing reopened his mouth as if he hadn't heard Zhang Suo's praise.

Looking at Zong Ze, Liu Xing said: "In this imperial court, Your Majesty has allowed me to use a group of officials whose salaries are so high that businessmen are envious. However, His Majesty does not allow any corrupt officials, dog officials, corrupt officials, and ministers. Zong Shuai, you should understand Your Majesty's intentions, and if you really push it out, what will this new law make the world become, right? ”

Seeing Liu Xing asking him rhetorically, Zong Ze immediately frowned and thought secretly: Stolen officials, dog officials, all dynasties and dynasties are difficult to govern, and they have never really been cleanly governed.

It is precisely because of the existence of those corrupt officials and dog officials that they act recklessly, bend the law for bribes, form parties for personal gain, and prey on the common people, which led to the final demise of one dynasty after another.

Govern the world, the first magistrate. The dog officials are endless, and the people have no peace. If the corrupt officials are not destroyed, the country will not be stable. This method of believing and using officials in Liu Xing's new law, not only believing and not using, may really be the only way that can essentially make corrupt officials and dog officials not have a foundation for growth.

As for the ministers, such as the generation of the six thieves, such as Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, Zong Ze knew that once Liu Xing's new set of laws was promoted. Even if those two guys who are good at drilling camps and fine tongue skills come to this court dominated by the new law, it will be difficult for them to be in power again in the future......

Thinking of this, Zong Ze smiled, stroked the gray wisp of beard under his chin and said with a smile: "High salary, clean and honest, and cure maladministration." Prevent the slightest and eradicate the stubbornness. I absolutely agree with this point in Taifu Liu's new law, and I must not let Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan appear in the court, let alone let me appear in the past A large number of dog officials who are only hated by the people will appear. ”

"Then presumably Zong Shuai, you should also know, at least this first batch of counties and prefectures in charge of all affairs will become a place for a large number of brothers who propose the military to settle down in the future, right?" It seemed that he didn't even think of Zong Ze's praise, and when Liu Xingmu asked him intently, a treacherous smile appeared on his face.

Hearing this, Zong Ze's eyes widened in astonishment: "You, you don't want those people who are in the army to go directly to various places to be Cao officials, right?" Among them, many of them don't know half of the words, so it may be okay to let them lead the troops, and let them be in charge of everything, I'm afraid it will only cause chaos, right? ”

"Of course, it is impossible to directly let those martial artists who have quit the military take office." Seeing Zong Ze's suspicious expression, Liu Xing smiled indifferently: "Therefore, it is necessary to set up a teaching and benevolence department to re-educate and educate the officers who have retired from the army now and in the future." Only the old people who have been taught good can go down to various places to serve as officials. ”

"Then the people of the imperial examination, will there be a wave of opposition to this? After all, this is a martial artist to replace the imperial examination! "Zhang is one question after another, but to Liu Xing's ears, it is all a question that he is raising out of his own interests.

Zhang Suo was born as a scholar, if it is true that the people in the army will dominate the government affairs of various places in the future, the first thing to be impacted will inevitably be the interests of those who study for ten years.

Knowing that everything he thinks stems from selfishness, Liu Xing still said with an unchanged face: "Trade-off, the benefits of civil and military affairs are all in the word trade-off." The distribution of power and benefits, those scholars will still have to take the imperial examination to seek fame in the future, and then the local authorities such as county orders and prefects can only be them. Although Wufu has been trained again after teaching, he can only be a servant forever. Unless you are particularly capable, it is difficult to become a magistrate. Zhang Shuai, do you think that under such a trade-off, if the scholars come to me again to make trouble with the scholars above to gather people to criticize the government, who should they do? ”

Tai students gathered to criticize the government, and what Liu Xing said was the Tai student tide in Bianjing City more than a year ago because of the war. At that time, because of dissatisfaction with the imperial court's removal of the teacher, many Tai students blocked outside the imperial city and the main hall and scolded the capitulation officials in power, and even once besieged and beat up the first-class officials.

Liu Xing mentioned this matter at this time, on the surface, it seemed that he was reasoning, but in fact he was also giving a reminder to a group of scholars led by Zhang Suo, the six Shangshu and Dali Siqing.

Liu Xing was implicitly telling them: I am not one of those surrendering ministers, don't expect you to make a few student waves for me in the future to influence my governance. If there really is a day, it will only be you who will suffer from me. (To be continued......)
