Of course, Zhu Youxiao did these things to divide the place.

During this period, Zhu Youxiao studied the administration of the Ming Dynasty and found that one thing was found that the imperial power did not go to the countryside. It was also very important that the number of officials in the Ming Dynasty was insufficient and they could not control the following.

A county only has the positions of chief officer, assistant officer, chief officer, teacher, miscellaneous position, and errands.

The chief official is the magistrate who manages all things in the county. He is a local parent official, known as Bailihou and also known as the local emperor. Why did he claim to be the local emperor? Zhu Youxiao felt that it was caused by the fact that the power was too concentrated and the power was too great.

Look at how powerful the magistrate has. Whether it is civil, criminal case, defense of the city, public security incident, personnel appointment and removal, or the most important tax and financial powers throughout the county, it is his.

What are these? These are the most important rights in a place. If the magistrate of later generations had so many rights, he would not have smiled and grinned to the back of his head.

A county magistrate gathers these rights together, isn’t it the local emperor?

This second-level official is the deputy of the magistrate, who assists the magistrate in managing grain, horses, police, etc.

There are generally two officials in a county, one is the eighth-rank county magistrate and the other is the chief clerk of the ninth-rank. They all have their own independent offices. In this county, the officials are officials with the second highest status than the magistrate.

However, there is a special and subtle relationship between the second-ranking officials and the main officials. In order to prevent local officials from concealing the people's conditions, the Ming Dynasty often sent inspectors to grassroots inspections. According to regulations, the inspectors did not mobilize the power of the main officials, but they could mobilize the second-ranking officials from prefectures and counties, or temporarily appoint certain second-ranking officials. However, at this time, this system can also smile.

Officials, if there are officials, there are officials. This official is the person in charge of specific affairs in the yamen. Official officials must be registered with the Ministry of Personnel, and the court will give their salaries, which is almost equivalent to the establishment of later generations.

Generally speaking, a county has more than ten officials, a small county can have as few as several, and a large county can have as many as more than thirty.

The institutions that officials need to be responsible for specific affairs include the six houses of officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workplaces, Chengfafang and Pavilions.

The above are all fully funded by the state, but the chores and other labors are different. They are the basic executors of a county.

You should know that there are many chores in a yamen. In an ordinary county, there are two or three hundred people, and in large counties there are often more than a thousand or even thousands of people. The court does not pay the salary of these chores. So how does his salary come?

The magistrate said that of course it was to use local materials.

Even if you are a servant, you have rights. Therefore, exploiting the people is their only source of income. Then there is no way, you can't starve to death. Do you expect the magistrate to give them money with mercy?

In the TV series, the magistrates who were completely innocent were not allowed to make money when they took office, but they were all gone, because if they didn't run away, they would starve to death. The magistrate's salary was barely enough to support his family, so how could they have their salary?

Zhu Youxiao wanted the imperial power to go to the countryside to change everything from top to bottom, and all the servants were edited and compiled into the assembly, and the court paid their wages to give them a formal identity.

Otherwise, if you let these servants who can only make money from the people go to the countryside to try it, it would be better not to go on. Send these people to the people and the people will not be able to eat Zhu Youxiao.

Originally, the people's lives were already difficult enough, but now the emperor sent a group of Zhou Papi again. Why don't such emperors keep them for the New Year?

Of course, the two most important local rights must also be separated, namely financial power and personnel power.

The personnel rights belong to the seven members of the Council to hold a meeting to discuss. The magistrate lost the right to make a final decision, but reserved the right to immediately suspend all officials except the Executive Director of the Council for investigation.

In the future, the magistrate will not be responsible for criminal, public security and other matters in the county, and all these things will be handed over to the county magistrate.

Of course, the most important supervision right must be possessed. Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to this point in particular. The supervisory censor only accepts vertical jurisdiction, that is, he does not accept local constraints, but only accepts instructions from superiors. The superior is the Censorate and even the highest to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to separate the rights. Does the local government still have the energy to confront the central government? The seven members of the board of directors have to fight for their own rights. The more dispersed the rights, the more beneficial it will be to the central government's jurisdiction.

If the local government only makes one sound, how can the central government interfere in local affairs? Do you think that's the case?

The county level has been set up for the time being, and there are no major changes at the prefecture level. There are only two additional seats, and the magistrate and the sheriff are added.

This lecturer was specially joined by Zhu Youxiao, because this position was not appointed by the local government but assigned by the central government, and was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel, as a nail for the central government to interfere in local affairs.

Although he is at the same level as the prefect, he is still a little higher. He is the highest official in the prefecture. He does not take charge of civil affairs, but is only responsible for local ideology and monitoring local governments.

At critical moments, you can also mobilize the censor to investigate the officials with problems.

The mature official system in later generations can also be modified and used. After all, this is a more reasonable official system derived by many experts in later generations after research. It is still very advanced compared to the Ming Dynasty.

If you ask the officials in the world whether they will object and whether those local gentry will cause trouble, then Zhu Youxiao can only tell you human nature. If this set is done, it will affect the interests of many people.

Originally, there were only a few officials in a county and their rights were concentrated. It was useless for many people to be jealous of them. Now that the emperor dispersed the rights, they could also obtain rights. In this way, the number of people who opposed it was the most current gainers, while the support was the absolute majority of future gainers.

Otherwise, the order to promote grace was implemented in this way, and the Duke and the Marquis were powerful, but his power was also composed of people below. When the people below saw that they could also share a cup, can these masters still stop them?

And how the imperial examinations were popularized? No matter how powerful the aristocratic families are, they are not as great as the poor families in the world. There are only a few aristocratic families, and they are all killed by the number of people they are employed.

Therefore, after the implementation of this policy, opponents do not need Zhu Youxiao to take action, and those who will benefit in the future will help Zhu Youxiao solve the problem.

However, Zhu Youxiao will tell those future profiteers that this policy is actually to limit you?

When the time comes, those self-righteous future beneficiaries will find that they can't control the situation and their main rights will be taken to the central government.

"Sun Aiqing depends on you. Don't let my sincerity down. May my beloved be glorious in history and keep your name in history!" Before leaving, Zhu Youxiao held Sun Chuanting's hand affectionately and refused to let go, his eyes full of reluctance.

Lao Sun, I have given this to you. If you can’t do it well, I will definitely dig your ancestral tomb or not!

Sun Chuanting's eyes were filled with tears and swallowed speechlessly.
