Chapter 82 Eighteen Military and Political Departments of the Han Dynasty (3/4)
The talents needed to be selected through the imperial examination.
"The cabinet is divided into the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Commerce (the Ministry of War was replaced by Ministry of Commerce, and the functions of the Ministry of War were all assigned to the Ministry of War, and the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce alone showed Xu Boju's emphasis on business). There are six departments in total, each department is further subdivided according to the specific work, and the administrative level of the lower level is the department. This is what we will discuss next."
The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the selection, assessment, appointment, reward, and title of officials;
The Ministry of Rites is responsible for national etiquette, imperial examination, diplomacy, marriage, funerals and other work;
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the review, arrest, sentence and other work of various criminal and civil cases;
The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction of new water conservancy, large-scale national projects, scientific and technological inventions, and procurement of daily necessities in other departments;
The Ministry of Revenue is responsible for the establishment of households and people, state money, grain, taxation, land and other work;
The Ministry of Commerce is responsible for state-owned industries, private industries, cross-industry and other commercial activities;
(ps: These are written based on your own understanding, and there will definitely be some omissions, but these are not the key points. We will not be so detailed in the future. If you have any questions, just find each part.)
"The chief officer of the six ministries is the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, and the two are the deputy officials. They are the ministers of the left and right. They are the ministers of the left and the ministers of the left and second ranks, and the ministers of the right and third ranks." Xu Boju briefly introduced, and the detailed information was in the documents sent to them.
"Master, what is this second-grade level?" Mr. Qin said curiously.
"After the Han Dynasty, the officials' ranks were divided into nine grades, nine grades, eighteen grades, and the first grade was the highest, and the ninth grade was the lowest." Xu Boju introduced.
"Our Han Dynasty has the three Dukes, Situ, Sikong and Taiwei as the three Dukes, and they are the highest official positions and the first rank of official positions. However, these three are empty positions and are honorary official positions. Secondly, the chief minister of the cabinet and the general of the military are both first ranks, and these two are actual positions."
Everyone understood what it meant when they heard it. The biggest one in the cabinet was the chief minister, and the biggest one in the military headquarters was the general, the chief minister, etc. They didn't care at all, nor did they want to. They were concerned about the generals of the military headquarters.
It is obvious that there is no second candidate for the first general except Zhang Qing. If Zhang Tianchen chooses the military headquarters, the general must be Zhang Tianchen. The key is that he chose the cabinet.
It is hard to say whether the first cabinet chief is Zhang Tianchen or Master Qin, but Xu Boju did not disappoint everyone and quickly announced the appointment.
"Now, the first cabinet chief of the Han Dynasty was appointed as Zhang Tianchen."
As he said that, Xu Boju took out an imperial edict, wrote down the appointment on the spot and put the jade seal on it, and handed it over to Zhang Tianchen.
After listening to this, Zhang Tianchen took the lead and thanked him: "I will thank the Lord of the State and I will live up to my expectations."
After hearing this, the others expressed their congratulations, and so did Mr. Qin. He did not mind any of it. He made many contributions to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, which was also the happiest and proud thing for him. He recognized Zhang Tianchen's ability.
"Appoint the general of the Army of the Han Dynasty as Zhang Qing."
He also took out an imperial edict, wrote down the appointment on the spot, and stamped the jade seal, and asked the little yellow gate to hand it over to Zhang Qing.
"Xie Guozhu trusted, and Zhang Qingding trained a military force that could win battles for the king."
"Appoint Qin Ming as the first Minister of Commerce, and also serves as the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works. When there is a suitable candidate, he will hand it over to them." Xu Boju did not favor one or the other, and also prepared the imperial edict of the Minister of Commerce for Master Qin.
"Yes, the king."
"The remaining Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Rites will be temporarily appointed by the Chief Auxiliary."
"yes."
In this way, the cabinet will be temporarily settled, and the subsequent work will be Zhang Tianchen and Mr. Qin.
"The following are five departments under the jurisdiction of the Military Department, namely the General Staff Department, the Political Department, the Logistics Department, the Equipment Department, and the General Training Department. The lower-level departments are further subdivided, such as each legion (when possible in the future, it will be divided into military regions, but the current area of the Han Dynasty is limited)."
The General Staff is responsible for collecting intelligence, formulating top-level national strategies, and formulating war strategies and tactics for other countries;
The Political Department is responsible for the ideological work of soldiers in the army, military Chinese literary and artistic activities, etc.;
The Logistics Department is responsible for the military's money, elixirs, military pay, equipment, merit, rewards, retirement and other work;
The Equipment Department is responsible for the manufacturing of military equipment and is self-sufficiency;
The General Training Department is responsible for training, recruitment, and management of militias;
(ps: It is also a simple introduction, I hope I won't go into it in depth.)
"Zhang Qing also serves as the General Staff Department and the Minister of Equipment Department."
"Yes, the king."
"Appoint Qin Xuan as the first Minister of Political Department of the Han Dynasty and also as the Minister of Logistics."
"Thank you." A young man in his thirties came out and said, "Thank you."
Name: Qin Xuan
Loyalty: 93
Martial power: Two-star warrior
Commander: 61 (Materials that can be made)
Interior: 69 (good at ideological work, and the language is very contagious)
Potential: 79 (having great talent potential, but it requires experience)
Qin Xuan was originally the general political commissar of Qingtian Army, but now he was promoted to the Minister of Political Department. No one is more suitable than him.
"Appoint Zuo Xing as the first Minister of the General Training Department of the Han Dynasty."
"I, I thank the Lord of the Kingdom for my trust, and I will devote my whole life to our great Han Kingdom until my death."
Zuo Xing excitedly departed and thanked him.
Name: Zuo Xing
Loyalty: 78
Martial power: Four-star warrior
Commander: 58
Interior: 49
Potential: 71
There is no way. Except for him and his grandson, everyone else in the hall is from Qingfeng Mountain. He surrendered and can be promoted and reused directly. What does this mean?
This shows that the king’s trust in him, and that he will not blame the Zuo family for the past, and that he will be his own people in the future. This is the most important thing, more important than the position of Shangshu.
"In addition to the cabinet and military department, there are also directly under the jurisdiction of me, the Imperial Guards, Chang'an Guards, Xiuyi Guards, Zongzheng Mansions, Shaofu, and Chief Officials' Officials' Levels are the same as those of the Secretary of the Ministry."
The Imperial Guard is the personal soldiers of the king and the strongest military branch of the Han Dynasty. It will be further divided into the future, such as the guard of honor, the guards with swords in front of the imperial guards, the guards of the palace, the soldiers who are in charge of the imperial commanders, etc.
The Chang'an Guard is the guard guarding the capital. At present, the area of the Han Dynasty is relatively small and is only responsible for the guarding of Chang'an City. In the future, the capital will definitely not only be Chang'an City, but also include some core areas outside the city, such as Chang'an County.
The embroidered sibling guard is responsible for collecting and supervising internal and external intelligence, and is Xu Boju's eagle claw;
Zong Zheng is responsible for the life of the royal family, education, disputes, and other matters (it is more in charge than Zong Zheng on the Earth. There are quite a lot of officials who manage the royal family on the Earth, and there are all those in charge of horses, and they are also Jiuqing. I don’t know where to go, and Zong Zheng is responsible for them all);
The Shaofu is an official who is responsible for the royal property and in charge of the royal treasury.
"In addition to these, there are two independent departments, namely the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Supervision, and the Chief Officer's Office," Xu Boju added.
The Ministry of Justice is responsible for legislation and law revision, and the Ministry of Supervision is responsible for supervising all officials and giving frank advice.
................
It is impossible for a great dynasty to discuss all the work clearly. After the dynasty meeting, it will be divided into groups for discussion. It took about ten days to discuss the entire political system to determine the preliminary feasible plan. In more detail, it can only be added, deleted and modified after encountering practical problems.
This is a very long-term job.
In general, there are six cabinet departments, five military departments, five royal departments, and two independent departments, a total of 18 departments. Although the Han Dynasty is not big, the sparrows are small and have all the internal organs and the shelves are already set up, and we will wait for the subsequent continuous talent to supplement it.
"You have been very sad these days. I allow you to take a day off and have a good rest when you go back, and the country's system will be implemented first according to the negotiation results." Xu Boju's words formally determined the political system of the Han Dynasty.
Ganquan Palace.
"Ge Lao Zhang, General, have you made clear the current situation of the Han Dynasty these days?" Xu Boju said with concern.
"Ge Zhang, let's talk first."
"I'm preparing to report to the king." Zhang Tianche said and handed over a memorial.
Then it was introduced:
"The original land area of Sanyang Kingdom is 1,600 square kilometers, plus the 2,400 square kilometers of our Qingfeng Mountain. Now the land area of the Han Kingdom is more than 4,000 square kilometers. Although it is higher than many countries of the same level, our Han Kingdom is mountainous, and the real plain area is only about 200,200 square kilometers around Chang'an City."
"The original Sanyang country has a population of more than 380,000, plus Qingfeng Mountain's population of more than 150,000, the total population of the Han country is about 540,000. At present, according to the old system of Qingfeng Mountain, all households and people have been assigned to the people."
"Because there were several cities in the original Sanyang Kingdom area, they were divided into urban population and non-urban population according to the meaning of the king. The urban population was 45,000 and the non-urban population was 495,000. The non-urban population was 495,000. According to the commune security system, plus Qingfeng Mountain, there are currently seven cities and 25 communes in the Han Dynasty."
(ps: When the country grows larger and the population grows larger, the county system will be implemented. According to the times and local conditions, the county system will be adapted to the current conditions. Now the county is divided into two or three, and it will be divided into a large amount of power, which is not suitable. On the contrary, the commune and militia system are more suitable for the current Han Dynasty.)
"How about money and food?" Xu Boju asked.
"The national treasury has sufficient money and food, but the people are very tight, and there is not much surplus food. Fortunately, the weather has been good over the years, otherwise it will be easy to have famine." Zhang Tianchen said truthfully.
Xu Boju asked, "Since the weather is good, why do people have no surplus food? Do you know the reason?"
"There are two fundamental reasons. One is that the aristocratic families monopolized the main fertile land in the original Sanyang Country area, and the second is that the taxes in the original Sanyang Country were relatively heavy, and the people could only barely make ends meet." Zhang Tianchen explained.
Alas, I didn’t expect that such a fantasy world would also encounter situations on earth. It seems that this has nothing to do with the world, but with the nature of human beings. The nature of greed is common to all countries and worlds.
"Does the Ge Lao have a solution?"
