Chapter 492: Political Reform

"The world's affairs are first in the economy and second in the system." Li Ze pressed his hands on the big case, looking at the civil and military officials sitting around the hall, and said loudly. "You must have seen that under the rule of Wuwei, the economy and people's livelihood are now booming, prosperous, old people have a place to support, few people have access to education, poor people have a place to support, and those who are widowed, lonely, disabled and sick have a place to support. It is precisely because of this that a strong army can be built, and the east and west are fighting, and the whereabouts are spent. If you want to improve the economy, you need institutional constraints. Wuwei saves the fields, cleans up Dingkou, farms, and grants fields to eliminate the stubborn diseases that have been hindered by the Tang Dynasty for many years. However, the success of Wuwei is only the result of a town. If you want to promote the world, it must be implemented by the court, otherwise the reputation will be incorrect and the words will be unsatisfied."

Speaking of this, Li Ze's tone gradually became stern: "However, the Tang Dynasty has fallen to its current level. It is a major disadvantage to the inconsistent government system. The court officials do not want to make progress, but instead regard the government system as a tool to seek benefits and attack political enemies. It restrains each other and restrains each other. It is difficult to do things and is easy to defeat things. This is the second major disadvantage. Local separatism, land annexation, blocking the way for civilians to make progress are three disadvantages. Only by breaking these three disadvantages can the Tang Dynasty have the possibility of defeating the traitors and have the hope of reviving the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, this political reform is imperative."

Accompanied by Li Ze's sonorous and powerful voice, the tide of political reform in Wuwei kicked off.

The three provinces were abolished, and the prime minister was established alone, and the first rank was the ruler, and the government was taken into account and directly responsible to the emperor.

The Ministry of Personnel is established, which is in charge of the political affairs of selecting documents, honorary titles, and examination courses. It is under the Ministry of Personnel Department, the Ministry of Personnel Department, the Ministry of Seizure Department, and the examination courses.

The Ministry of Revenue is established, which is in charge of the world's finances and civil affairs, including land, people, marriage, money, grain, tribute and taxes, etc., and is located in the Ministry of Revenue, Duzhi, Jinshi, and Cangshi.

The Ministry of War is established, which is responsible for the selection, examination and examination of military officers under the sixth rank, as well as military orders, military qualifications, military training, etc. The Ministry of War is established, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of Industry is established, which is in charge of civil engineering, water conservancy engineering and national agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and is under the Ministry of Industry, military farming department, Yu department, and water department.

The Ministry of Justice was established, which was in charge of laws and regulations, criminal law, and was appointed as the state's ban. It was established under the Ministry of Justice, which was the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Rites is established, which is in charge of etiquette, sacrifice and enjoyment, and the imperial examinations. It has the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Shrine, the Ministry of Food, and the Ministry of Host and Guest.

The six ministers are the Minister of the Shangshu, the Third-rank, the Deputy Chief is the Minister of the Secretariat, the Fourth-rank, and the Underworld, each of them performs their duties.

During the political reform, the status of the supervisory agency Yashitai was greatly improved, from the past to the third rank to the third rank, and the censor Zhongcheng was the fourth rank, and the Censorate was the third rank, namely the Taiyuan, the Palace Court, and the Censorate.

There are nine temples, five supervisors, and twelve guards.

The Nine Temples and the Five Supervisors basically inherited the original Tang system, but reorganized the original Tang army system, set the original Sixteen Guards to the Twelve Guards, abolished the original Zhechong Prefectures in various places, and abolished the imperial guards, border troops, local armed forces, etc. In other words, after the political reform, the Tang Dynasty's armed system was only professional soldiers mainly composed of the Twelve Guards. Local officials no longer had military power, and all military powers were taken over and managed by the central government.

The local official system was also greatly simplified. The prefecture was established, and the governor was the governor, and the prefecture was established, and the county was established, and the township was established, and the township was established, and the village was established. The prefecture was mainly governed by the governor, and the chief was appointed, and the chief was appointed, and the deputy was appointed, and the Sima was appointed, and the other was appointed with the Sigong, the Sihu, the Sitian, the Si military, the judicial, and the Sishi. The county was mainly appointed with the county magistrate, and the county magistrate was appointed with the deputy, and the seven Caos in the Yingzhou were appointed with the assistant.

Once the policy of political reform was announced, the world immediately shocked.

Because in the notice published by Wuwei to Tianzhengxia, almost half of the officials' positions were ruthlessly cut off, which means that this group of people will be unemployed.

The salary of the reigning officials was extremely strong. All the remuneration was converted into money. For example, the prime minister had an annual salary of 10,000 guan, the second rank was 8,000 guan, and the third rank was 5,000 guan. According to this set of salary standards, there were still 1,000 guan at the county magistrate. However, the township chief and the village chief originally did not give the salary, but now there are 300 guan and 100 guan.

Compared with the price level under Wuwei's rule at that time, the salary standard was actually quite high. If converted into current coins, a Li Zheng, that is, the village chief, could get a salary of about 400,000 yuan a year.

But correspondingly, there are a large number of privileges cancellations.

For example, the relatives of officials are exempted from service, housing, car rides, land, and their descendants enjoy priority admission and official positions, and they are all gone. Moreover, once they retire, their benefits will immediately shrink significantly. Take the position of prime minister as an example. When they were in power, they suddenly shrank to 1,000 yuan a year, but after they retire, they suddenly shrank to 1,000 yuan a year. After they retire, they will only be ten yuan a year after they retire. If they make a mistake, get dismissed, or commit crimes, then I’m sorry, you have nothing left.

The reformed official system abolished all the titles of scattered officials. In the past, many people had no official duties, but they could still receive corresponding salary from the court with the title of scattered officials. The number of these scattered officials was much higher than that of the officials who were on duty. Just like Li Ze's son who was not yet full of years old was a seventh-rank official, and he would only cry. If he followed the current standards, he could also receive a salary of 3,000 guan a year. After the reform, the title was gone and the salary was naturally gone.

In other words, only those who do things can get money.

Moreover, in addition to these, officials in the past could use the people openly and openly, and the government paid for the miscellaneous labors in their families and these hidden benefits were all gone.

In short, all the treatment you give as an official is the price you explicitly announced. It does seem very high, but as an official, the cost is really not small.

It seems that officials have taken a lot of this salary system, but it was carefully calculated by Xia He, the Duzhi Department, and his subordinates. Taking Wuwei as an example, in a year, at least one-third of the expenses can be saved. If the world is unified in the future, the money saved will be even more.

If these reforms are just shocking the officialdom, then the next reforms to enter the officialdom will make ordinary people, including those rich businessmen, happy.

The court officially abolished the recommendation system, recommendation system, and emphasizing the official system. All officials came from only one way, and passed the imperial examination held by the court every three years.

The county holds a county examination every year. The winner can participate in the prefecture examination. The state holds a prefecture examination every three years. Only those who win can participate in the final exam held by the court. Li Ze called it the national examination.

Whether it is the county examination, the government examination, or the final national examination, the content of the examination has been greatly adjusted. In the past, the Tang Dynasty could have won the title with a poem, but in the new national examination, the weight of poetry and songs has almost been reduced to an optional level. The focus is on national policies and current affairs. Although the specific examination depends on the next first national examination, the general direction has been decided.

This is not true to open the door to the descendants of ordinary people and businessmen to enter the official system. In the past, it was difficult for them to enter this system.

What ordinary people don’t know is that before this announcement, fierce debate broke out during the first dynasty meeting chaired by Li Ze. In the eyes of Xue Ping and others, Li Ze’s political reform was simply too harsh for officials, and it would lose people’s hearts.

Li Ze sneered and asked back: "What is human heart? Whose human heart is it?"

What is the human heart?

Whose human heart is it?

Is it the hearts of officials or the hearts of the general public?

If you have the power, there are many helpers, but if you lose the power, there are few helpers. Do you have more or fewer people? Do you mean officials or billions of people in the world?

Compared with the salary of officials, how much does ordinary people earn and how much does it cost per year?

How much does the imperial court earn in a year? How much does it cost?

Is it more important to use money to support officials or to improve people's livelihood?

While saying these words, Li Ze threw the survey statistics table that Xia He, the Duzhisi, and his subordinates worked hard on the table, and let everyone take a look and see if his political reforms are harsh to officials?

Nowadays, even the most prosperous place under the rule of Wuwei, an ordinary family of three, who only relies on farming a country, earns only more than a hundred chunks a year. Compared with the income of officials, it can be said that one is from heaven and the other is from underground.

"If anyone thinks that the income is too low, he can do business. As far as I know, the businessmen in Wuwei now have the most income per year, and people like Jin Mantang have more than one million guan each year." Li Ze sneered.

After seeing this survey statistics table, Xue Ping and others were finally speechless.

After a fierce debate for a day, under the strength of Li Ze, the political reform was successfully passed. In fact, the opposition of Xue Ping and others was just a verbal dispute. The people sitting in that hall, Wuwei and his team had an overwhelming advantage, were raising their hands to vote, and the hands of the opposing people were almost negligible.

After the resolution was passed, it was quickly reported to the emperor who was recuperating in Zhenzhou. What could the emperor say? He just looked it out and stamped his own seal.

Immediately, this political reform was sent to all areas under Wuwei in the form of an edict.

And what follows is the highlight.

Who will sit in these positions?

If there are beautiful women, there will naturally be clear water yamen, comfortable positions, and of course there may be thankless positions. The next battle is not only for Xue Ping, but also for Wuwei, but everyone has different ideas, and everyone wants to occupy a better position.

After the announcement is approved, the meeting will be adjourned for three days.
