It has entered six years of Jiayou.

Since the Jiayou reign of the sixth year, the Song Dynasty has flourished.

Especially the sudden economic efforts made the Song Dynasty look like it was a prosperous era.

The monarch and ministers in the court were also quite excited.

Although Zhao Zhen and his ministers still worry about the lack of a crown prince in the country, they are still happy overall.

In the past five years, not only did the economy perform well, but there were not many disputes in the court.

The change of the prime minister has also stabilized. In recent years, only Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi have left office.

Wen Yanbo was dismissed because of his own fault, while Fu Bi went home to worry, not because of political struggle. It was a very harmonious political situation.

The Jiayou period was an interesting year.

During the Qingli period, the emperor was Zhao Zhen, and the people in power were Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Fu Bi;

In Jiayou years, the emperor was still Zhao Zhen, and the people in power were Han Qi, Fu Bi, and Wen Yanbo.

It can be said that it is almost a lineup that has not changed much, but the style of governance has become different.

It is probably the transition from idealism to conservatism.

It is precisely because of the huge contrast between the previous and subsequent governance styles that it has caused a lot of discussion among later generations.

If Zhao Zhen and others were sad about spring and autumn, they would definitely miss their former youth.

Because the political situation was stable during this period, the ministers in power were also well-known officials.

Therefore, later generations called this period "Jiayou's rule".

But some people disagree, believing that the ruling team during this period has been conservative and has no revolution.

But according to Ouyang Bian's observation, this inevitably made them wrong.

Ouyang Bian believes that there is a Jiayou regime between the Qingli New Policy with heavy thunder and the Xining Reform (Wang Anshi Reform).

The reform of Jiayou's rule was a continuation of the Qingli New Deal, and some were the predecessors of the Xining reform. If you completely ignore it, this is wrong.

However, the reforms of Jiayou's rule are quite secret, and are the so-called local reforms.

The reform of Jiayou's governance was to stop a corner and make up for a gap. It was like the wind and drizzle, not a system, not a program, and not a declaration. It was naturally difficult to attract people's attention or even be ignored.

It is difficult to notice that during this period, there have been some achievements and innovations in governance.

For example, in April of the first year of Jiayou, the court's [Registered Election Replenishment Law] was introduced after concentrated discussions between the two governments and the two-system officials, and new measures to restrict replenishment.

[Replace the election and replenishment law] mainly aims to limit arbitrary replenishment and continue to deepen efforts to reduce redundant officials.

This is a continuation of Fan Zhongyan’s “suppressing luck” system in the Qingli New Policy.

In December of the second year of Jiayou, the "Qing Gongsheng" Regulations announced next week by Zhao Zhen is actually the method of reforming the imperial examinations to restore the Qingli New Policy;

In November of the third year of Jiayou, Renzong ordered all the transshipment envoys and Kaifeng Tuanshu to reduce the burden on the labor burden of households. In fact, it was the so-called "reducing labor service" reform during the Qingli New Policy;

At this time, some prefectures and counties tried to replace the officers with recruitment, which was actually the precedent for the reform of the "recruitment law" during the Kaixining period;

Ouyang Bian's Qingmiao Loan from the Agricultural Bank is also part of Jiayou's governance, and it actually set a precedent for the "Qingmiao Law" in the Xining reform;

There are also the "equal tax" that is the precedent for the "Fangtian Tax Law" of the Xining Reform, and the "equal tax" of the horse government reform opened the precedent for the "master protection law" of the Xining Reform... There are countless such reforms.

This is why Ouyang Bian has confidence in the Censorate's attack.

——Zhao Zhen and the prime ministers were not completely self-confessed!

There are two reasons why Ouyang Bian wanted to attack the Censorate.

First of all, he really wanted to use the Censorate to try out how deep the water in this pond of water was;

Secondly, what he wanted to target was the censor system itself.

In Ouyang Bian's view, the censor system of the Song Dynasty was deformed. Later, party struggles were often used by censors as tools of struggle.

In Ouyang Bian's eyes, the supervision system should be independent outside of political struggle and should not be a tool for political struggle.

The purpose of the supervision system should be to keep officials clean and clear, rather than participate in political struggles.

The abolition of the administration of the Song Dynasty was caused by the structure of laying beds and stacking, and the other was the reason for the excessive dispersion of the supervision system.

The Censorate, the Censorate's supervision scope is too narrow, and a large number of public officials are outside the supervision scope;

Although there are many supervisory agencies, their forces are scattered, their functions are overlapping, and their professional abilities are really hard to describe, making it difficult to form a joint supervision force;

The censors do not have enough daily supervision of public officials, and violations of duty by public officials who violate national laws but have not yet violated the criminal law have become a blank in supervision.

When Ouyang Bian was studying the system of the Censorate, he had some ideas.

He believes that the Censorate should integrate the central and local supervision agencies to form a more concentrated decision-making and command system, optimize supervision forces, and enrich measures for rectification of officials, so as to realize the supervision system under the unified leadership of the Censorate.

Only in this way can we achieve full coverage of the supervision objects, and achieve full coverage of officials, clerks, and officials who are in charge of the vacancies, and achieve full coverage of all officials, officials and military officials who exercise public power.

However, although Ouyang Bian believes that a strict supervision system from top to bottom should be established, the focus of supervision should be on behaviors that affect the efficiency of administration such as anti-corruption, dereliction of duty, and dereliction of duty. We must not be offside, misplaced, or absent, and administrative personnel instead of administrative personnel. This is a matter of putting the cart before the horse.

This is the chronic disease of the Song Dynasty today.

The person who was supposed to be supervising became the administrator of the local government, but turned the person who was supposed to be in power into the person who watched the show in the corner, while the person who was sings was the person who was originally supervising. Isn’t this absurd?

However, Ouyang Bian cannot get involved in the local area for the time being, because the supervisors who supervise the local area are the chief censors, the attendant censors' school examination, and the inspectors cannot get involved in the investigation.

The so-called supervisor is an institution that makes many students who like Song History very distressed. In fact, they are local permanent supervision agencies.

In the Song Dynasty, the prefectures and counties across the country were divided into different routes, and the supervisors were established in each route to "rely follow the route, and to submit the responsibility of the ears and ears, and to be the power of the sect."

Each supervisory department consists of four agencies whose positions do not belong to each other and whose mutual supervision is directly responsible to the central government:

That is, the Transport Department in charge of the grain transportation. Since the wealth and taxes in the Song Dynasty were mostly transferred from the grain transportation to the capital, it was called the grain transportation department;

The Strategy and Pacification Department was in charge of the military and garrison. Because it was in charge of military affairs, it was also called the Commander;

He mentioned the Criminal Prison Office and was in charge of litigation along the way, so he was also called the Constitution Office;

He was promoted to Changpingshi and was in charge of all-round trading and was also called Kurashi.

Isn't this much easier to understand?

Therefore, the supervisory authority is the local political, economic, military and judicial office, and its rights and responsibilities are very heavy.

Therefore, the Censorate can indirectly supervise the local area by supervising them.

The way the Censorate supervises them is to supervise the performance of the officer, correct mistakes, and implement mistakes in three ways: continuous punishment.

In this way, a system from the central to local procuratorial system was formed. Although the supervisors became opera singers, they were also considered to have greatly concentrated centralization.

However, it was precisely this that the bureaucratic system of the entire Song Dynasty was unscathed.

The official system of the Song Dynasty was in chaos. Not to mention us in later generations, even the officials of the Song Dynasty at that time were a little confused about the official system.

There was even a ridiculous incident where the official was photographed and sent to the same official. There were even ridiculous scenes where different agencies sent appointment letters to the same official.

The chaos is unheard of.

After really in-depth research, even Ouyang Bian, who has a thousand years of experience, feels that it is difficult to get over it.

Ouyang Bian even believed that the administration could be renewed unless it was to rectify the source, cancel many dispatches, return to the original functions of official positions, and lay off a large number of idle officials.

But this is impossible now.

The characteristic of Zhao Zhen and Han Qi and others in governing is that they are willing to reform, but they will give up easily whenever they encounter resistance.

For example, in the fourth year of Jiayou, the pilot implementation of the Tax Law was very effective and was praised by the court.

Therefore, under the joint decision of Zhengshitang and Zhao Zhen, the pilot project of equal tax equality was expanded.

So we began to measure the land nationwide.

But because some households protested, some court officials protested, and then...

——Then they called out the gold and stopped the troops.

Are you surprised or surprised?

Therefore, if Ouyang Bian wants to take a trip, he also sees the characteristics of the ruling of the Zhengshitang and Zhao Zhen.
