In the prehistoric times, I was the Emperor of Heaven

"My father has agreed to hand over Suguang County to Gu and carry out reform experiments. As the prefect and captain of Suguang County, you two have great responsibilities."

Liu Bian helped the two men up and said solemnly.

After listening to Liu Bian's words, Xu Shu and Zhang Liao suddenly felt the pressure. The prince used Suguang County to carry out reform experiments. After that, he might have to promote the whole world after he ascends the throne.

His Royal Highness the prince actually Such an important task was entrusted to them. They were deeply moved, but they were also afraid that they could not do well and betray the trust of His Royal Highness.

The two felt anxious and excited for a moment.

They were worried that they would not be able to fulfill the important task of the Crown Prince, but they were excited that they would personally be responsible for the reform. , if it succeeds, it will go down in history

"I wonder how His Highness the Crown Prince wants to reform?"

After a while, the two of them calmed down. Xu Shu took a deep breath and asked Liu Bian solemnly.

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked His Majesty for the right to reform Suguang County, he must have ideas for reform.

"The first is the reform of the civil service system.

Liu Bian said slowly:"Any reform must have a team."A strict and efficient organization must be implemented, so we must first carry out the reform of the official system."

Xu Shu and Zhang Liao both agreed upon hearing this. Throughout history and the reforms of the nine states, the reform of the official system cannot be circumvented. To govern the country, you must first govern the officials. This is a consensus that everyone knows.

If you want to govern the world, you need to First, manage the officials. If the officials are not managed well, they will not be able to make government orders clear and clear. Talking about governing the country is empty talk and has limited effect.

Liu Bian continued:

"The Gu Council will split or merge many departments under the Prefectural Government and create some new departments. These are some of Gu Council's suggestions for the reform of Suguang County.

After speaking, Liu Zheng handed the two documents to Xu Shu and Zhang Liao.

Xu Shu and Zhang Liao took it and looked through it carefully.

In terms of civil affairs:

Taishou: Responsible for taking charge of the civil affairs of a county and serving as the chief civil affairs official.

Jun Cheng: Increased to three. Jun Cheng assists the prefect and serves as civil affairs adjutant. Each Jun Cheng is in charge of multiple Cao Yamen.

Gong Cao: in charge of camps, craftsmen, water conservancy, etc.;

Hu Cao: Hu Cao is in charge of household registration, land and agriculture, etc.; Cao

, etc.; Tax Cao: responsible for tax collection, ad hoc levy armed tax guards;

Judicially:

County Sentencing Judge: In charge of the judicial supervision of a county, supervising and coordinating the inspections, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.

Inspector Cao: In charge of public security and arrests.

Metropolitan Procuratorate: In charge of judicial supervision and prosecution of criminals.

Dali Temple: in charge of judgment.

Supervision:

Yushi Jianjun: Responsible for supervising all yamen in the county; responsible for admonishment and supervision, supervising administrative and military affairs, supervising and reviewing discipline, and supervising officials at all levels to implement court orders.

In terms of military and political affairs:

County Lieutenant: Responsible for the military affairs of a county and in charge of the garrison.

Counties under Suguang County must also be reformed in accordance with the same reforms as the yacao in the county.

Establish township chiefs, township magistrates, inspection offices, tax offices and other related yamen in the villages and towns under each county. After Xu Shu and Zhang Liao read it, they immediately understood the mystery of the reform plan of His Royal Highness.

Some large departments in the past were split up and new departments were established to strengthen the yamen's control over local areas, such as the tax bureau. In particular, the tax bureau also established a tax collection guard.

At the same time, the responsibilities of each chief officer were also clarified, and blame-shifting was eliminated.

He attached great importance to business and established a special city supervisor to further strengthen the control of merchants. It seemed that he could cooperate with the tax supervisor to greatly reduce merchants' tax evasion and increase the court's income.

The increase in the number of county magistrates has divided the power of the prefect, but it has also improved administrative efficiency. After all, there are too many civil affairs affairs in a county, and the prefect is too busy. Over time, there will be oversights. The number of county magistrates has been increased, allowing each county magistrate to be responsible for related affairs, with the prefect taking overall supervision.

Judicial rights are directly deprived, civil affairs and judiciary are separated, and the judiciary is independent.

Three yamen were established: Inspector Cao, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate. An inspector was also established to take charge of the administration of justice.

As a result, the envoys who were punished and inspected became the chief officials of the county on par with the prefects and captains.

An independent judiciary, where professionals do professional work, can reduce the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongful convictions. Many officials do not actually understand the judiciary and need to hire staff.

The independence of the judiciary also prevents some officials from using the judiciary to bully good people, and at the same time strengthens the power of inspectors, which can improve public security.

The establishment of the Yushi Supervisory County has strengthened the court's supervision of local governments. The Taiping Road incident was due to the lack of effective local supervision and was not reported in time. It seems that His Highness has learned a lesson and is preparing to further decentralize supervisory powers and strengthen supervision over counties and counties. supervision.

After the reform, there will be two new chief officials in the county, the censor to supervise the county and the prosecutor to punish the county.

The four supervisors of the Yushi Supervisory County, the Prefect, the Punishment Supervisor, and the County Lieutenant Supervisor are each responsible for supervision. Civil affairs, justice, and military affairs are independent of each other and check and balance each other. Not only will they not affect the efficiency of local administration, they will also make the place more stable and strengthen the The imperial court controlled local areas.

At the same time, the counties under Suguang County also carried out reforms according to the county's yamen, and at the same time strengthened the court's management of villages and towns. The imperial power was directly sent to the countryside and extended to the countryside, strengthening the court's rule over local areas.
