Chapter 193 Calling the king and setting up an official
In fact, the ceremony of becoming king is not just a form, but also enfeoffed officials at all levels, as well as Shang Yi's wives and concubines, must be officially enfeoffed and officially established the harem ***.
Although this time it was just a king, not an emperor, Shangyi Group is no longer a temporary local separatist force. It also requires a set of administrative management systems and rules that match it to become a real state power institution.
The formal official rank, the military system, and of course, also include the hierarchy of Shang Yi's harem, even if it is only temporarily, this is the main purpose of becoming king. Therefore, this is also a comprehensive arrangement and integration of power within Shang Yi Group.
distribute
In addition, Shang Yi has been in charge for almost five years. Although he is not a complete success and unification of the world, he can also be said to be an independent force that is in charge of the country and established a business. Many of them followed Shang Yi's subordinates from the beginning.
Over the years, many achievements have been made. Whether it is civil officials or military generals, they should make arrangements for them and give them a stage of reward and reward. This is also a work that those who are in charge must do.
At the same time, with the expansion of strength, several factions have been formed within the Shangyi Group. From the region, they can be divided into two branches: Shandong and Zhejiang; from the family, they can be divided into two factions: Zhou and Lin, and then add
It is also quite complicated to join other small factions, but there are only people in the world. A group is expanded and the internal faction is an inevitable faction at any time and anywhere.
Of course, at present, all forces within the Shangyi Group are still very united and have not formed a situation of fighting for power and profit. On the one hand, Shangyi suppresses it, and on the other hand, it is still in the "revolution has not been successful yet, and comrades still need to
In the stage of hard work, everyone can work together and help each other, but they cannot be careless. Because it is the vassal after becoming king, not only should everyone be rewarded according to their merits, but also balanced
The interests in all aspects are not satisfactory to everyone, but they must also convince the vast majority of people. This has indeed made Shang Yi useless.
After the coronation ceremony, the first thing is to enfeoff the harem is to be enfeoffed. The harem system of the king's title is not as complicated as the emperor. There are generally only three types of concubines, concubines, and partial concubines. There are even concubines. Of course, if Shang Yi originally intended,
It is completely possible to follow the emperor's standards, and there are three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. However, Shang Yi does not plan to accept wives and concubines, but he only makes Ye Yaowang the main concubine of King Jingbei, Lin Fengwu as the side concubine, and Chen Yuanyuan and
Akashi Ji is a partial concubine, but at the same time Shang Yi also formally stipulated that during his absence in Nanjing, the princess will have the power to make administrative decisions.
Because now, there are only these four people who are considered to be Shang Yi's official wife and concubine, although the wedding of Yalisandra and Zhu Mi is in preparation, it has not been officially held after all, so this time it is not included in the ban.
The sacrificial harem is also the simplest item, and there is not much dispute. Among Shang Yi's wives and concubines, except for Lin Fengwu, no one else has much power in his family. Ye Yaoying was originally Shang Yi's.
It is natural to be a wife, and in the past few years, Shang Yi has led the army to fight, and Ye Yaowang has acted as a government affairs agent, which has been recognized by all officials.
Lin Fengwu married Shang Yi as a fair wife. She is also Shang Yi's wife and concubine. She is the only one with a background in her parents' family. Moreover, Lin Fengwu herself has great financial management skills and overseas experience. At the same time, the Lin family is also Shang Yi's.
An important support force, so it is natural to be named a concubine. Chen Yuanyuan and Akishiji were originally concubines, but they were named a concubine.
Then it was the highlight. Because China has developed to the present, the civil service system has been very perfected, and there is no need to make major changes. Therefore, Shang Yi was not planning to do another one in terms of the rank and official title of civil service. He basically continued to use the Ming Dynasty.
The old system, the official ranks were divided into two or three levels within each level, including initial awards, promotions, and additional awards; while the central government established a cabinet, divided into six ministries and nine temples, etc.
First, Shang Yi ordered the Ministry of Administration to be officially changed into a cabinet, and Zhou Shiqi was appointed as the chief minister, Wang Fuzhi, Li Yan and Li Gefei, the director Zhou Shiqi also served as the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue; Wang Fuzhi also served as the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Works;
Li Yan also serves as Minister of War and Minister of United Front Work Department
It is not surprising that Zhou Shiqi, Wang Fuzhi and Li Yan became members of Shang Yi's cabinet, because these three people had been responsible for the work of the entire administrative department very early, only Li Gefei was promoted by Ge, and before that, Li Gefei was responsible.
What is business operations, foreign trade exchanges, and foreign affairs. In the traditional Chinese political landscape, these are not mainstream affairs.
But Li Gefei's identity is Lin Zhiyang's ally, and he is also a member of the Lin family. The Lin family is also a large group under Shang Yi. When another major group, the Zhou family, has already served as the chief minister of the inner cabinet, the Lin family is in the cabinet.
Zhongli should have a place, and the Nanjing government is different from other courts in the past, and attaches great importance to commercial operations and foreign trade. The income of these two parts accounts for about 70% of the total fiscal revenue. Therefore, Li Gefei's work in the past was actually quite important.
Entering the cabinet also expressed that Shang Yi insisted on developing business, foreign trade, and overseas attitude
It was also a common practice in the Ming Dynasty that the members of the inner cabinet served as the Minister of the Six Ministry. In the past, Shang Yi established eleven departments under the Ministry of Administration, which actually dispersed the functions and powers of the Six Ministry, because Shang Yi's political affairs and the courts of the past dynasties.
The path we took was different. We were divided according to the original six departments. Obviously, it could not meet the management needs and must be divided into details. Therefore, these eleven departments actually replaced the positions of the past six departments, and at the same time, some will be added.
Department of
After serving as the Minister of the Six Ministry, members of the cabinet were actually unable to participate in the actual official affairs and external management of the Six Ministry. They were only in charge of the work of each department. Under the Ministry of Personnel, they had an organization department and a personnel file department, the household department was in charge of the Ministry of Finance and the audit department; the etiquette department was in charge of the Ministry of Education.
, Propaganda Department, Industry Department is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, Farmland Department, and Industry Construction Department; Li Gefei is in charge of the Ministry of Commerce and Foreign Trade Department, and the Ministry of War is now just a virtual shell, and all matters related to war are handled by the United Front Work Department and retained
This name is actually just to collect six departments, so Li Yan also serves as the Minister of the United Front Work Department.
However, the United Front Work Department's club work was actually handled by Shang Yi. At this stage, the United Front Work Department is still the highest institution, and even the inner cabinet must obey the resolutions of the United Front Work Department. However, Li Yan does not belong to the two major areas of Shandong and Zhejiang.
Among the group, the distribution of power is generally still in a balanced state
The only six positions that were not held at the same time were the Ministry of Justice, with Wang Zhongping as the Minister of Justice, head of Zhongzai, who was appointed as the Minister of Justice. Moreover, the Ministry of Justice was not within the jurisdiction of the cabinet, but was directly responsible to Shang Yi because Shang Yi was from modern society.
The concept of separation of powers has been deeply rooted in its heart. It is impossible for Nanjing government to establish a parliament now, but this is also a pattern of independent judicial power from the Executive Ministry, and the separation of judicial power and administrative power will be truly implemented in the future.
Preparations made for the separation of powers
Below the Ministry of Justice, there are two institutions: the Arbitration Court and the Inspectorate. The Arbitration Court is responsible for civil affairs, while the Inspectorate handles illegal affairs of officials at all levels. However, at present, the Inspectorate has only the power of trial and has not arrested it.
Rights and inquiry rights. At present, both rights are paid by the Security Department and the Intelligence Department. The Inspectorate is mainly the Ministry of Justice only takes the last trial procedure. The Ministry of Justice is currently the main function of the Ministry of Justice, and it is still aimed at civil affairs. The power is not very good.
Jing is still a war period, not a time for real national construction. Therefore, although Wang Zhongping, the Minister of Justice, belongs to Shandong, it will not have much influence on the power division.
In this way, it is directly responsible for Shang Yi. In addition to the Ministry of Justice, there are also the Documentary Department, the Security Department, and the Intelligence Department. Now they have been upgraded to the ministers of the various departments. The original chiefs are still appointed. In this way, Nanjing Government
There are actually eighteen departments, twelve departments under the management of the cabinet, and six people directly responsible for Shang Yi.
The composition level of central institutions is determined in this way, and local institutions are basically still the same. According to the four levels of province, city, county, and township, it is actually the corresponding positions of governor, prefect, prefect, county, etc., and the rank of each official is still
The old system of the Ming Dynasty was adopted, and the salary and subsidies for officials at all levels were also increased by about 10% in the previous standards.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty paid their salaries in China at the lowest level. If they rely on their salaries, ordinary officials could not support themselves at all. Because the financial situation of Shangyi Group has always been very good, the salary of political officials and officers and soldiers was very good.
It's much higher than in the Ming Dynasty. After all, if you want others to work, you have to make people live a better life.
However, Shang Yi certainly knew that whether officials are greedy or not depends on the level of their official salary. The Song Dynasty had the highest official salary in all dynasties, but corruption was still a trend. However, such low salary in the Ming Dynasty also had clean and honest officials.
Therefore, the so-called high salary to maintain integrity plays a very limited role in managing corruption is actually a problem in the world. It must be done together from the aspects of morality, legal system, a perfect supervision system and the financial management system. It depends solely on one aspect.
, It's useless Shangyi Group, currently, has done a good job in this regard, thanks to the perfect financial system and supervision system.
In addition, Shang Yi decided not to establish a system of medals, titles, and relatives. After all, it is not yet time to truly enjoy the fruits of the administrative system. Therefore, the composition of officials in the administrative system has been basically determined, and then according to actual needs,
