On February 19, 19th year of the 13th year of Yongli, the rotation and adjustment of officials from the Qi Palace and local provinces was completely completed. After a few days of rest, Chen Wen issued an order to convene a meeting on the reform of the institutional system of the Qi Palace.

The reform of the official system was something that Chen Wen had already been determined to do. However, before, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group's control ability in various parts of the controlled areas, especially the newly recovered provinces, had not reached the level of appropriate official system reform. There were also a large number of opposition gentry in Jiangnan, so it was postponed to this day.

But today, through Huguang's province, the relocation of Guizhou military households, abolishing the local government's authority to farm farms, cracking down on Jiangnan gentry, strictly implementing Zhejiang's new policies and long-term guarding, the control of the control area has reached a sufficient level, and the time is finally ripe.

"With the expansion of the control area and the cumbersome affairs, the old institutions of the Qi Palace were no longer sufficient. Therefore, since March of the 13th year of Yongli, the subordinates of the Qi Palace have newly established five departments of the Judicial Officer, Du Branch, Construction, Army and Navy."

"The chief of the lawsuit is the former governor of Zhejiang Sun Yu. The department is responsible for the appointment of civil servants of the departments and provinces under the Qi Palace and the dismissal..."

"The civil servant training class located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang has been moved to Nanjing and is assigned to the management of the Propaganda and Education Department. The Propaganda and Education Department is responsible for training affairs and shall not interfere in personnel appointments affiliated with the lawsuit..."

The civil servant training class was first in Jinhua Prefecture. Later, with Hangzhou regaining its status as the provincial capital, and Sun Yu, the governor of Zhejiang who was responsible for the civil servant training class, went north, and the civil servant training class was also moved to Hangzhou. Now, Sun Yu has been changed to the chief of the lawsuit, holding the power of personnel appointment and removal. Naturally, it is not convenient for the civil servant training class to be transferred to the judicial judicial management. The Publicity and Education Department is responsible for training affairs, and it is also a matter of responsibility for the judicial judicial judicial judicial judicial judicial medical insurance.

"The head of the Duzhi Department is the former governor of Jiangxi, Wang Jiang, who is responsible for taxation, financial planning, expenditure and other matters under the Qiwang Mansion and the provinces..."

Finance is a major event for the country, and the general leaders of finance are often known as planning. Originally, the Qi Wangfu had a series of related institutions, and even the subordinate departments of the Duzhi Department were mostly old, but Chen Wen did not establish such a special department before, but was directly responsible. Nowadays, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and a professional talent who is good at this matter is needed to manage it.

Personnel and finance are the two most important departments of the government. Chen Wen clearly stated that Sun Yu and Wang Jiang were in charge, which was not beyond the expectations of the participants. Sun Yu was always in charge of civil servant training classes, and it was natural to accept personnel management; while Wang Jiang was an experienced financial management expert. Whether it was on Dalan Mountain or in Jiangxi in recent years, financial planning was praised by people, and there was nothing strange about it.

"The Chief of the Construction Department is the former Governor of Nangan, Gu Shouli. The department is responsible for military farming, water conservancy, maintenance, machinery research and development and manufacturing..."

"The military farms in all provinces and all courier camps are all assigned to the Construction Department. Jinhua Machinery Manufacturing Workshop, Nanchang Agricultural Tool Machinery Manufacturing Workshop, Jiangxi Jingdezhen Royal Tools Workshop, Nanjing Weaving Bureau, Hangzhou Weaving Bureau and Suzhou Weaving Bureau and other workshops are still directly managed by the Military Industry Department, and the Construction Department shall not intervene or intervene..."

Gu Shouli was one of Chen Wen's earliest aides and was also the third civil servant at the governor level of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group. This time he took over the Construction Department, which was not like Sun Yu and Wang Jiang, but it was normal for him to be a civil servant at the first level of the department.

The next two divisions, the Army Division and the Navy Division, are relatively new institutions, responsible for the selection and qualification of officers and soldiers of the army divisions, battalions, local garrisons, the Navy East China Sea Fleet, the South China Sea Fleet, the Yangtze River Cruise Fleet and the inland river fleets of various provinces, concise, garrison, stables, postal and soap, etc.

"In addition to these five departments, the functions of the original Propaganda and Education Department, the Criminal Prison Department, the Staff Department, the Military Supervision Department, the Military Law Department, the Military Training Department, the Military Supply Department, the Military Industry Department, the Military Information Department, the Supervision Department, and other departments remain basically unchanged. The governor's offices of each province are still directly responsible to the Qi Wang Mansion. The Zhejiang New Army Martial Arts School located in Jinhua and the Zhejiang New Naval Martial Arts School located in Ningbo are under the jurisdiction of the Military Training Department, and the Propaganda and Education Department is no longer responsible..."

The old garrison was transformed into a provincial governor's office that shouldered the functions of the later people's armed forces. The governor's offices in each province had primary training functions, but their more important function was to manage military households in various places, especially the reserved military service, and the power was greater than that of the People's Armed Forces Office. For example, this time, the decisive battle with the gentry in Jiangnan was that the governor's offices in each province that exported goods were selected to reserved military service to accompany them.

Regardless of ancient and modern times, in order to prevent the formation of a military system that caused normal countries to fear, the army often achieves the separation of powers through three aspects: recruitment, training and guarantee. This principle was both the Privy Councilor, the commander and the transfer officer in the Song Dynasty, and in later republics, the General Political Department, the General Staff Department and the General Logistics Department, and in foreign countries, the principle is roughly the same, the difference is nothing more than titles and subtle aspects.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were special paths for civil and military affairs. The Ministry of War was responsible for recruiting the army, and the Grand Governor's Office and the later Five Army Governor's Office were responsible for training, and the local garrison office was responsible for ensuring it. The military had a greater degree of freedom and did not have to bow to civil officials in terms of supply. However, when the civil officials completely overwhelmed the military generals, the functions of the Five Army Governor's Office were eroded by civil officials, and the system of the local garrison office was corrupted, everything entered the period of national stability. As long as the central government's ability to control military generals decreased, the generals would be in danger of transforming into vassal states. The Guanning Army of the Chongzhen Dynasty and Zuo Liangyu in the late Chu Town, and the four towns of Jiangbei in the Hongguang Dynasty, and the Fujian Zheng Zhilong were the same.

Chen Wen's new system has not been completely completed, and the existence of many departments is for the future war. Chen Wen is personally responsible for military affairs and the refinement of various departments in military affairs. In this way, Chen Wen can respond to threats from all sides as he is armed, especially when he has more different means.

The subordinates of the Qi Prince's Mansion have changed their powers, but the local official system has not changed, or it is still based on the situation after the changes in recent years. Each province has three levels of management, prefecture and county. In addition, there are also government offices such as the Tuntian Road and the Quanye Road that are responsible for special work. Among them, the Tuntian Road and the Governor's Office of each province are linked to military fields, but one is responsible for the land and the other is responsible for personnel affairs. The differences are still clear.

The staff read out the documents on division and appointment, and there were whispers in the conference hall. Every change of power is actually a re-division of rights.

For example, this time, the Mission and Education Department lost the martial arts school, but there were more civil servant training classes, and the positioning of its civil servant system department was clearer. The Military Training Department has simply trained soldiers, managed recruit training camps and reviewed the preparation training results of the governor's offices in various provinces to now owning a military academy, which is also a major improvement in power. However, the Jinhua Machinery Manufacturing Workshop, which originally belonged to the Military Industry Department, was classified as the Construction Department, which was less than a profitable department. However, the Military Industry Department's positioning is the research and development and manufacturing of weapons and armor. Too much energy is devoted to civil machinery, and it is not in line with the current situation.

After the appointment of the official position, the Qi Wang Mansion also obtained various areas of the outer courtyard of the Qi Wang Mansion as the location of the yamen. From the Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion in Jinhua that year to the Qi Wang Mansion today, the area has expanded, but the power has become larger and larger, and the number of personnel and documents has increased. This Qi Wang Mansion, which was rebuilt from the Jiangnan and Jiangxi Governor's Yamen, has once again encountered the problem of insufficient use.

This issue was raised when Chen Wen had already contacted Gu Shouli, the chief of the Construction Department who came back to report on his work. Gu Shouli's opinion was to use the land in Nanjing to build a larger Qi Palace. The Qing Dynasty built Nanjing City, occupied the land of the Ming Dynasty Palace and demolished the Ming Dynasty Palace. Chen Wen had thought of that land before, but now is not the time. At least Chen Wen is not convenient for blatantly doing this for the time being.

However, this time the adjustment of the official system itself has the intention of making a political statement. Chen Wen is temporarily inconvenient to occupy the land of the Minghuang Palace, but it is time for a showdown within his own group.

"The wise man doesn't say secret words, and everyone here is the backbone of my Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings Division. This time, many people should be able to understand what it represents. There is a saying that you can hear and bring this word to your subordinates without moving."

"Everyone has their own aspirations. If someone is unwilling to follow me, Chen Wen, to create a new era, we will be able to part with you. As usual, the retirement silver cannot be given. I will give you a gift of a gift in my private identity. Thank you for your hard work over the years. If you are willing to stay, I will only give you one sentence to you. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!"

"I wish to die for His Highness the King of Qi!"

……………………

The convention hall of the Qi Palace was inspired by the crowd. Although Chen Wen did not say it clearly, everyone could understand the meaning inside and outside, and they also expressed their position in the simplest way.

Among them, Zhang Huangyan, the new chief executive of the Criminal Division, was an exception. He did not stand up to express his opinion, nor did he turn around and leave, which seemed particularly eye-catching. However, the officials present were all core officials of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group. They heard the news about Zhang Huangyan. Chen Wen has always looked at Zhang Huangyan differently. The character and credit of this civil servant who is different from them is also admired by others, so it is no wonder.

However, after the Northern Expedition, Zhang Huangyan would inevitably choose to leave, but his position has been targeted by many people - not to mention anything else, the Criminal Department is obviously used to temporarily replace the power of the Ministry of Justice, and many people still have a jealousy of the official position of "Secretary of the Ministry of Justice".

With the change of the official system here, Chen Wen's layout in other aspects has begun to reap the results he deserves.

First of all, in Macau, Yao Qisheng served nearly one term as the magistrate of Xiangshan County. At first, he was honest and honest and lived in harmony with the Portuguese in Macau. When he completely grasped the administrative power of Xiangshan County, especially completed the control of those gangster groups, he immediately turned against others.

First, he forced the Macau Governor Buga Road and the Macau Council to implement the agreement that Chen Wen had summoned Buga Road in Guangzhou, and restored the judicial power of the Macau officials and Xiangshan County over the local Macao. After the Criminal Office took over the judicial power of the Han people in Macau, it began to gradually erode the lawsuits between the Portuguese and the Han people. At the end of last year, Chen Wen began to step up efforts to crack down on smuggling and cooperated with the Ming army in Fujian to impose a trade embargo on the Dutch in the north. Yao Qisheng forced the Macau Governor and the Macau Council to demolish the Macau Fortress against Guangdong.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yao Qisheng's next step is either to infringe on the judicial power between the Portuguese and the Portuguese, or to erode Macau's administrative power, or to try to expand the authority of the officials to maintain Macau and achieve full control of Macau. Once Macau is in control, the Macau Governor and the Macau Council will be able to go wherever it is cool.

Yao Qisheng's four words will be interpreted vividly in this term. Although the progress is much slower than Chen Wen expected, he did not give any help to Yao Qisheng. Just watching how a Xiangshan magistrate was showing it. Now it seems that this person who left his name in history is indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"When the Governor of Macau and the Macau Council were completely abolished, Yao Qisheng will be transferred to the Qi Palace. Don't he like to mess with these barbarians? Then wait until we have a chance, let him mess with Japan and Ryukyu, or Mo Chao and Li Chao in Annan, which is also the only way to make the best use of people?"

When Sun Yu heard Chen Wen's words, he was speechless. Chen Wen actually did not directly force the Portuguese in Macau to abolish the Governor of Macau and the Macau Council, but Yu Yongli's court did not do so. However, it seems that the recovery of Macau was only a little late.

"The tricks in the Bugalao artillery factory have been understood by Yao Qisheng, and the Chinese craftsmen among them have basically been bribed by Yao Qisheng. Now they are waiting for the final showdown. It is estimated that the time to be missing from the Governor of Macau and the Macau Council is not far away."

The Bugalao Casting Factory was once the most famous casting factory in East Asia. It was initially established by Portuguese Macau. Chinese craftsmen also developed and innovated the casting technology of iron cannons. The copper cannons and iron cannons produced are quite famous in Europe.

The Ming court purchased artillery from Macau, except for some of it being shipped from Europe, the others were basically produced by the Bugalao Casting Artillery Factory. Chen Wen did not force the Portuguese to take away the Portuguese before, and it was also to prevent them from jumping into the Qing Dynasty with their technology and machinery. Now, the soft knife Yao Qisheng has been almost sharpened, and it has achieved the results it deserves.

After the discussion on Macau was over, it was time for lunch, Chen Wen invited officials from various departments to the inner courtyard to have a meal. One was a reward for loyalty, and some official duties must be discussed as soon as possible, and there was no way to take up time for meals.

However, Chen Wen had just had a business room, and before he could take everyone to the inner courtyard to work in the Supervision Department, Zhang Jun, who was responsible for some confidential matters, rushed over. Chen Wen had to ask Zhou Jingting to take the others to the inner courtyard to wait for him.

"King, the third person has been a little uneasy recently."

Hearing this, Chen Wen frowned and then asked, "Aren't their family already under control?"

"Yes, the king. Maybe it's because the house arrest has been under a long time, and the third person is a little impatient and keeps asking for the meeting of the king, otherwise he will be tired of seeking death."
