    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1287

    ?Chief of Government Affairs Qin An eloquently talked about his own ideas on the formation of various departments of the central government.

    While Chen Zi'ang was flipping through the draft, he also listened carefully to Qin An's opinion, Chief of Political Affairs.

    "I think it is generally feasible, but it needs to be modified in small places."

    After listening to the report of Qin An, Chief of Political Affairs, Chen Ziang also nodded with satisfaction, affirming its compilation structure.

    "Your Majesty is absurd."

    After receiving the praise, Qin An also had a smile on his face, feeling that the hard work of the past few days and nights was worth it.

    "In addition to officials, households, soldiers, and criminal workers, an additional Ministry of Commerce and Trade needs to be added." Chen Ziang put forward his own amendments.

    "Commerce and trade will be an important source of taxation for the empire, so the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is essential."

    In order to increase the empire's emphasis on business, Chen Zi'ang felt that when designing at the top level, it is necessary to set up a separate department to manage it, so as to specialize in the technical industry.

    ?The jurisdiction of commerce and trade in the past dynasties is generally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Accounts, but most of the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Accounts is money, food, household registration and other things, and they are not interested in business.

    Now Chen Ziang has set up the Department of Commerce and Trade alone, not only to manage the commerce and trade within the empire, but also to manage cross-border trade in the future.

    In the necessary moment of economic war with other countries, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade will become the sharpest sword of the empire.

    "In addition to the above seven ministries of officials, households, soldiers, criminals, industry, commerce and trade, the Intelligence Investigation Institute and the Oversight Institute should also be at the same level." Chen Zi'ang continued.

    The Intelligence Investigation Institute was upgraded from the Intelligence Investigation Division, and it can be said that it has made great achievements in previous wars.

    Although the large-scale war has ended, if you forget the battle, you will be in danger. It is necessary to retain a high-level intelligence department.

    This intelligence department must not only maintain external intelligence work, but also feed back various internal situations to the highest level.

    Of course, the lack of a supervisory mechanism in any department will eventually lead to power expansion and loss of control.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang felt that the Overwatch Council also had to become the highest-level department in order to effectively supervise and restrict various departments.

    "It's good to set up divisions under each ministry to manage specific affairs. It's good to have thirty-six divisions under the seven ministries and two courts. If there are too many divisions, it will easily lead to redundant officials."

    Chen Ziang cut and merged more than 50 divisions in Qin'an's structure, and finally retained 36 divisions.

    After discussing the names, responsibilities and scope of jurisdiction of various departments and subordinate divisions together, Chen Ziang and Chief of Political Affairs Qin An began to set the ranks of officials.

    Generally speaking, the rank of officials is also a reference to the past dynasties.

    Qin An, the Chief of Political Affairs, had a relatively complicated structure, with some complicated titles and ranks, all of which were denied by Chen Ziang.

    "The grades of officials should be simplified and identified by aspects." Chen Ziang emphasized.

    "I feel that on the basis of the original nine levels, nine more levels will be added, for a total of eighteen levels."

    According to the practice of Qin An, the Chief of Political Affairs, a total of nine levels from the first rank to the ninth rank were directly established.

    Try to use nine levels to run through the official system at all levels from the central government to the local government.

    In Chen Zi'ang's view, the nine levels are indeed too few, because there are actually many people who do things under the Jiupin county magistrate.

    Over the past dynasties, under the county magistrates of the seventh rank or the ninth rank, those head arresters, government servants, and gangsters were actually members of the government.

    These people specialize in technology and have experienced a long time in one position, so their abilities are not bad.

    However, they did not enter the promotion system of officials, and the result was that they had no promotion channel and could only be stuck in this position for the rest of their lives.

    The final result of the iron-clad county magistrate is that the county magistrate is changed every few years, and the local headhunters, office workers, and government servants have not changed for decades. They have formed a certain force in the local area and become local officials.  Powerful representatives.

    It's okay if you encounter a strong county magistrate, but if you encounter a generally incompetent county magistrate, you will almost be emptied and unable to control the place.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang also wanted to change this disadvantage, that is, to include local captors, yamen servants, and gangsters into the system of officials.

    As long as they do well, they can be promoted step by step instead of staying in one place for a long time.

    As long as you get through to these people in the local area?The channel of promotion, in addition to preventing them from holding the place for a long time and becoming a tyrant who oppresses the people, can also motivate them to do things. It can be said that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

    Of course, with the inclusion of these former local officials into the official promotion system, it means that a head catcher may be promoted to a county magistrate in the future.

    Therefore, it is necessary to conduct stricter assessments on officials at all levels, so as to avoid overfilling.

    According to Chen Ziang's structure, after the first rank is the first rank, after the first rank is the second rank, from the second rank, from the third rank, and so on, and the lowest level is from the ninth rank.

    Such a setting not only gave the local headhunters a chance to be promoted, gave them hope, increased their competition, but also increased the competitiveness of various departments of the imperial court.

    After all, according to the past, almost all chief officials at all levels can only be so-called Jinshi.

    However, as Chen Ziang included everyone in the promotion system, it meant that the officials working in various ministries might also be able to be promoted to chief officials by virtue of their ability.

    "In the future, officials at all levels will be tested once a year and promoted every three years."

    "Your Majesty, my humble minister is dull, please explain in detail."

    Hearing these words from Chen Ziang, Qin An couldn't keep up.

    "What I mean is that the Ministry of Officials conducts assessments of officials at all levels every year, and the Inspectorate is responsible for supervision. The results of the assessment are recorded, and promotions can be made every three years based on performance."

    "The three-year assessment should be divided into three levels, namely excellent, qualified and unqualified."

    "Excellent ones can be promoted to a higher level, qualified ones can be promoted, and unqualified ones can be demoted to a lower level, and at the same time leave the post to study for half a year."

    After hearing Chen Ziang's explanation, Qin An suddenly realized that Chen Ziang's method was good.

    The assessment is carried out every year, and it is summarized once every three years, and it can be up or down, which undoubtedly gives officials at all levels a sense of urgency, instead of staying in their positions, avoiding the existence of mediocre officials.

    "But after all, there are only so many positions, which may make it difficult for all those who are outstanding in the assessment to be promoted. Therefore, in addition to positions, an additional salary system must be established." Chen Ziang continued.

    "The salary system is set up with 36 levels. Those who are outstanding in the three-year assessment and have no vacant positions to be promoted will be promoted by one level."

    The reason why Chen Ziang did this was also to avoid as much as possible the mentality of officials at all levels not doing practical things, but focusing on promotion.

    Because even if they cannot be promoted in the most basic positions, as long as they are excellent in the assessment, their salaries will continue to increase.

    Maybe it's just a low-level yamen servant, because he is excellent in the assessment every year, and finally can get the salary of the eighteenth level, which can get the same salary as the head of the thirty-sixth department.

    In this way, the mentality of seeking promotion without doing things can be avoided, and the enthusiasm of officials at all levels can be greatly mobilized.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
