Chapter 295

The system of judging is actually a double chief system, and the judging cannot be simply regarded as the deputy position of the magistrate. Since the state affairs require judging and signing, the judging has a strong role in civil affairs and ensures the central government's control over the local government.

The double chief system is an interesting invention. It seems to be a contradiction between the traditional chief officials' autocracy, but in actual operation, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Especially when arranging powerful and high-ranking officials in the local area, this system is particularly important. According to Xu Ping's idea, the companies under the three departments must also implement the double chief system after reaching a certain scale, similar to the magistrate and the magistrate, and similar to the chairman and general manager of later generations. Some official positions are set up to insert those powerful and powerful people with great influence. Due to the characteristics of the company, they can give them more ministerial money, but those who are actually in power will arrange practical officials.

There is no way out. The powerful and powerful ministers in the army must give a way out, and they must also give them great temptations. Since the founding of the Song Kingdom, continuing the tradition since the Five Dynasties, the royal family mainly married the families of military generals. The generals in the imperial guards have had close ties with the Zhao Song royal family. They are definitely not able to be eliminated if they want to join the army. As long as the treatment of military positions is far higher than that of other officials, it is impossible to avoid all kinds of people from scratching their heads.

By this time Zhao Zhen was actually less important to use these military generals who had a relationship with the royal family to control military power. The arrangement of relatives and nobles into the imperial guards was mainly to seek higher economic treatment there than other places, and they did not have to be bound by the outside dynasty. There was another better place to resettle these people, so Zhao Zhen naturally wanted it.

After asking Xu Ping for some details, Zhao Zhen said: "The difficulty of this is that the company has an official position, and I am afraid that scholars will be embarrassed to do it. In previous years, I had to set up a wing official in Kaifeng City. Because it was in charge of criminal prisons, no one would do it, and it ended up leaving it alone."

Xu Ping said helplessly: "This is not a overnight achievement, so I have to take it slowly. I have reported before that the world should use money and grain as the mainstay, and seeking public benefits for the court is the world's righteousness. In the past few years, the three departments have collected money and grain and reduced taxes. I dare not say that I have done many good things to the people of the world, but both the court and the people have received real benefits. Governing the world is nothing more than pacifying the people. As long as the people live a good life and the world is peaceful, isn't it the way of sages?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded: "This is reasonable. Li Xu did a very good job in the Imperial College."

This is ideology. No matter how good the system you establish, no one will do it. The mainstream ideas in the world are abandoned like shabby, and they will not be able to be implemented in the end. Just thinking about attracting people by giving officials and money is not enough. In the end, a bunch of villains who only want to be promoted and make money are gathered by your side, and even the new ideas have lost their attractiveness and can only end up in disgrace.

Pursuing public benefits for the court is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is a great righteousness in the world. This idea has dominated the officialdom, and the new system can have vitality and occupy the commanding heights of morality. Xu Ping could only do it bit by bit, allowing Li Xu to spread this idea widely in the Imperial College, and everyone has intelligence. The things he did in the Three Divisions can reflect this one, so that he can accomplish things.

The war in the Northwest is approaching, and Xu Ping has been a little anxious recently. He must set up the big framework before the war begins, so that he can leave without worries. With banks and a large number of companies, the military expenditure in the Northwest is no longer worry-free. Now it is mainly to prevent the recurrence of policies. To achieve this, it is still necessary to occupy the ideological high ground, which is not too anxious.

Zhao Zhen has been in a very good mood these days and has seriously discussed with Xu Ping what Li Xu has done recently. This is not a random question, because this year, if necessary, Zhao Zhen will put this idea into the next Jinshi exam. Li Xu's official position and status are not enough to preside over the imperial examination, but he can be a editor and detailed official.

Over the past year, in addition to annotating "Strategy for Rich the Country and Safeguarding the People", Li Wei also focused on various classics and used new ideas to reinterpret the classics. In fact, it was to cooperate with the policies introduced by Xu Ping to carry out reforms.

Reforms must always have a support. The idea that Xu Ping learned in his previous life was that it was unnecessary to reform the ancients and was a manifestation of insufficient revolution, which showed the compromise of the ruling class. Only when he really did it himself did it, he realized that there was no choice at all, and it was actually a road in Huashan. The great changes in his country in his previous life did not require reform the ancients because he could learn from foreign experience to reform the foreign countries. Now there is no foreign system to support the foreign system, so he can only find legitimacy from the ancients.

Another thing Li Xu did was to interpret Xu Ping's policies in the three departments and the effects achieved by the new policies, combining theory with theory to achieve a combination of theory and practice. According to Xu Ping's meaning, these theories are particularly emphasized in the establishment and publicity of these theories. Fighting for the hearts of the people is always the main battlefield in ideology. As long as a broad understanding is formed and the new policies are good to the people, then the new ideas cannot be erased.

The Imperial College has never presided over the editing of so many books, and now it has truly become an academic center.

In addition to these official matters, Xu Ping also needs to use folk channels to spread new ideas. Recently, he wanted to set up a new company specializing in private entertainment, and use folk novels to target the lower class people, but he has not found a suitable candidate. Unfortunately, Duan Yunjie went to Yongxingjun to print books and make money because of someone's invitation. This opportunity was related to Dangxiang's anti-Song Dynasty. Yuanhao established a new official system and created Dangxiang's text, which required a large number of printed materials. Duan Yunjie went to Shaanxi Road because of this opportunity to get rich. In this era, transportation was inconvenient, and this kind of thing was gone for several years, and she didn't know when she would come back. She used to sell various novels and common words in the capital, and she had experience in this kind of thing.

These things are very complicated when they are talked about. Zhao Zhen was in a good mood and asked in great detail with great enthusiasm. Xu Ping only felt that there were countless things waiting for him.

Finally, he turned to the army. Zhao Zhen said: "All the generals in the army have been in the army for a long time. Even if you set up new positions in the company and give their salary, I am afraid they will still feel many constraints and do not want to be an official there."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Your Majesty, now it is peaceful and the war has not yet been around for decades, so naturally there will be people thinking so. If a big battle really starts, the battle formation will be dead, and the military law will not tolerate it. If you can put life and death aside, it is also a good thing to stay in the army."

Zhao Zhen was stunned and nodded silently. It turned out that he had the idea of ​​fighting and making a fuss. He really started fighting and killed a group of people on the battlefield. The war was not good. I was afraid that he would not want to stay in the army at that time. However, since the Taizong Dynasty, a bad rule has been formed. As long as he was close to him, even if he was defeated and violated the military law, he would not be punished severely. I wonder if he could make up his mind to change this rule at that time.

Xu Ping also said: "Above the battle formation, the first is to dare to fight, and the second is to be good at fighting. It is not a matter of life and death. Being able to join the battle formation is already considered as a basic condition. Even if you are close to nobles and have the courage to make achievements in the army? I am not a matter of success in the past dynasties, but I am afraid that it will be completed several years later. Recently, Li Wei was writing an article "Strategy for Strengthening the Military", and he talked with me and thought it made sense, so he could make a first move. This strategy, together with the previous "Strategy for Rich the Country and Safeguarding the People", is considered three strategies for governing the country. After it is compiled and presented to the emperor, it can set a goal for the army first."

(Note: 1. Zhao Zhen’s second son in history was born in the second year of Baoyuan, which was two years ahead of schedule in the book.

2. The three strategies of "Rich Country", "Strengthen Soldiers" and "Safeguarding the People" are Li Wei's works in history. The changes in the system that later generations often mentioned, actually began with this. Although the word "Rich Country and Strengthening Soldiers" appeared in the pre-Qin period, it was because of Li Wei's three strategies that truly became the goal of policy pursuit.)
