Zhao Gou's second trick is to integrate officials.

He used this trick in the late Ming Dynasty, so the effect it can do is not necessary to describe it in detail.

All the civil and military officials below didn't say anything. They couldn't figure out the pros and cons of the first move for a while, but they knew the benefits of the second move.

The division of officials began in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties for two reasons: one is that the centralized system is stable and unchanged, and its majesty is devastated; the other is that local powers are in charge and prohibited but not stopped.

In the war-torn Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the masters of various separatist regimes could only make helpless compromises in the face of this practical difficulty, which ultimately led to the birth of the "official division of paths" system.

For those kings who ruled the regime and local aristocratic families, such a system is a good way to maintain the regime, providing a very basic and effective system for the manpower, material resources, financial resources and rights they need.

When China's unified dynasty emerged again, hundreds of years passed, and the division of officials' paths had already been deeply rooted.

Of course, officials all want to be officials, but only a few officials who can become officials have become officials. Because of the power of a "small official", some local households have become the local tigers in their hometown. Just like Song Jiang in Water Margin, they are both black and white.

Zhao Gou's second move seems to be beneficial to the officials, but in fact it also has great disadvantages. At least in this way, the minor officials are also treated according to the requirements of the officials. Of course, it is not the same as those who are officials. The official avoidance system of Zhao Song not only requires avoiding his or her original family, but also those who are not from the original family, but also have real estate. In the sixth year of Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1116 AD), there was an edict stating: "Although the county magistrate's election is far away, there is no more than 30 posts." The general number is thousands of miles.

Zhao Gou's newly formulated avoidance system is even stricter. Currently, the children of officials above the fourth rank shall not be elected as censor; father and son, uncle, and brother shall not work together. Those with low official positions shall be withdrawn and transferred from another position. Later, a new supplement will be made, and the scope of blood ties will be further expanded to the relatives of foreign marriages, such as the father and brother of the mother, the father and brother of the wife, the son-in-law of the person, the legitimate nephew of the person, etc., if they work in the same yamen, the person with low official positions shall be avoided.

Being a minor official naturally does not need to be so strict, but you need to be transferred after five years of office, and there are many positions in the yamen. Those who have been in office for more than ten years and cannot get into the name of Guan, need to communicate with each other to another county.

After reading this series of rules and regulations, many ministers have a very complicated relationship with the person above their heads. This is really a loophole that doesn’t want to leave behind.

After this move was made public, the tenth meetings would not please both sides. The officials and officials were not satisfied, and the officials were not satisfied.

"I am happy in everything, but some things involve the fundamentals and cannot give in, so I can only do it with my strength." Zhao Gou was extremely determined. He is now in power, and even if the subordinates do not support him, he will force him to push.

Once this system is achieved and spread across the country, the effect will be unparalleled. After the regime goes deep into the grassroots level, the organizational and mobilization ability of society will be further improved, and the efficiency of resource utilization and mobilization speed, and even internal consolidation and patience will be difficult to match by the original system.

Look at the power of the Qin Dynasty. It can be conquered by hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people. How can the social organization be so powerful that the Song and Ming dynasties in later generations be comparable to that of the Song and Ming dynasties?

Even if the Han Dynasty, which inherited a certain Qin system, was in a sense, especially the Western Han Dynasty, the strong social organizational strength could defeat later generations.

Zhao Gou never hoped that he could reach the point after 1949. At that time, the rabbits had too much control over the people and farmers. But as long as they could recover to a certain extent to the Qin and Han dynasties, Zhao Song's power could be qualitatively improved. Can't people be too ambitious and have to set a small goal first?

But if you want to achieve this small goal, the first thing you need to do is to change the administrative structure of the government.

Thousands of years have passed, and the administrative structures below the county of the Qin and Han dynasties and the current Zhao and Song dynasties are already too different. Relying on the current officials alone is not enough to fulfill Zhao Gou's idea.

Therefore, just like the central government of the court, Zhao Gou's drastic changes in the pilot counties were beyond recognition.

First of all, in addition to the magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, and magistrate, there is also a member of the tutor and a member of the tutor.

This classic is no longer a misunderstanding official in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but a tax officer in a county, and the instructor is a school official who is in charge of worship of the Confucian Temple and educates the people in a county. He is responsible for the education affairs of the whole county, the construction and management of inner Mongolia schools, and the popularization of basic education such as literacy among the people, and no longer only focuses on county schools.

At the same time, while the county magistrate was also recruiting the three yamen runners, he obtained the judicial power of criminal name from the chief clerk. This was equivalent to depriving the magistrate, county magistrate, and chief clerk to a certain extent the direct intervention power of judicial criminal name, which made the weight of the county magistrate significantly increase.

This is real power!

The county lieutenant was not only in charge of military affairs when he was established. In the Tang Dynasty, the county lieutenant personally handled common affairs, divided the officials, cut off the chasing, and transferred the courses. He was an official in charge of the county's common affairs. His duties included administration, judicial, finance and other aspects. By the time of the Zhao Song Dynasty, the county lieutenant became the chief of the public security bureau, leaving only the rights of public security and arresting theft, and there were three mother-in-laws on his head.

Now I can be proud.

In the past, the inspections at the same level as county lieutenants were also included in the county lieutenants' hands.

Qingfeng Village where Li Guanghua Rong lives in Water Margin was actually called Qingfeng Inspection Office. In the official history, Zhao Song, Zhizhai was only located in the border military and military areas. For example, there are many military villages on the border between Guanxi and Xixia, and the head of the official is Zhizhai. In the inland areas, there are inspection departments, just like Guansheng's Pudong Inspection Office. In the past, the inspection was on the same level as the county magistrate, but now the inspection has been officially included in the county magistrate.

At the same time, the county magistrate also obtained the power of money and grain from the chief clerk. The power of the chief clerk became less and less after the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the official system of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the chief clerk was in charge of household rents and litigation matters. He became an official who managed money and grain and judicial affairs, and now the judiciary has been granted the county magistrate and the money and grain are given to the county magistrate, and the responsibility of the chief clerk has become supervision.

There is also a censorate in the court, so the chief clerk becomes the censor in the county-level government.

This really cut off the authority of the magistrate a lot, but even so, the magistrate is still the first person to be unshakable.

Zhao Gou set up six houses under the county yard, each with one clerk, and a clerk, and the number of clerks is different. Because you cannot ask that the criminal room that is only responsible for recording, reporting, and storing case files has the same number of clerks as the workshop in charge of sericulture, weaving, building offices, building water conservancy, minting silver, destroying money, etc., does it not?

The changes in the upper-level positions also involved the authority of the Six-House, which must have caused some officials to be unhappy, but they could not stop them at all.

At the same time, there are also reception rooms responsible for registering and receiving official documents, documents, and copying letters. The warehouses responsible for managing the county warehouse are the ambassadors; the warehouse ambassadors responsible for managing the granary, the postmasters in charge of postal and delivery, and the medical officers in charge of medical affairs in the county.

Even in townships, the establishment of officials in their offices is based on such a large framework. Of course, some unnecessary departments will delete them as appropriate, such as warehouses and granaries, which are all controlled by the deputy of the official seal officer of the township.

It is equivalent to the county magistrate and chief clerk in the county government office.

The planning of a county is so meticulous that everyone feels the oncoming power. It is unstoppable and irresistible. The King of Yan doesn't know how long they have been thinking in their hearts, but they can't stop it.

But with so many officials gathering together, there are so many officials in a county, which is really difficult to grasp. How much salary these people have to spend a year, and whether the finances of a county can support it is even more difficult to grasp.

Someone asked about this matter at this moment. In the minds of Confucian students, having more officials is not a good thing. Many people present subconsciously believed that if there are more officials, the people will suffer.

"It depends on the tax sharing between the central and local governments."
