Chapter 188 New Things

With the continuous expansion of the territory and the increasing number of officials, Lu Qiang increasingly feels that there is something wrong with the existing official system.

Overlapping powers, complicated official positions, too many redundant staff...

Although Lu Qiang has been trying to avoid this situation, except for the heads of state governments, most of the officials were appointed by the former Jiankang court. If he wants his regime to fight lightly, he must improve the previous official system.

After summoning Wang Dan, Xie Wangzu and others to ask questions, Lu Qiang learned that after the Yuan Emperor's southern crossing, the imperial court generally maintained the official system of the Three Kingdoms period. As long as it is for military convenience, it can break the routine. There is no clear boundary between military and politics. In addition to managing local government affairs, some local officials can also intervene in military affairs. Things, this also has the emergence of Huan Xuan's flow.

Strictly speaking, Jingzhou under Lu Qiang is also developing in this direction, but Lu Qiang is not like Huan Xuan. He is a real emperor. He can't give up long-term stability in the future just for immediate interests.

But at present, almost all the chiefs and garrison generals of each state are appointed after Lu Qiang took office. Although they are also in their respective duties at present, who can guarantee that they will not interfere in each other's affairs in the future? Thus, a separatist force was formed again.

Lu Qiang doesn't know much about the ancient official system. What he knows most is the six departments of the Ming Dynasty, Dali Temple, the Inspectorate, and university officers.

And the functions of the six parts of this era are almost covered by Shangshu Province, so if a prime minister adds another Shangshu, it is almost equal to half of the emperor.

If there is such an official under Lu Qiang, what else do you want him to do? Even if there is no problem in his dynasty, what about his descendants?

Several powerful ministers before Huan Xuan had such a title, so Lu Qiang intends to replace Shangshu Province with six departments, and at the same time cancel the two provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia provinces. Some of the functions are merged into six departments, and some of the official positions are appointed by himself and are not under the jurisdiction of any part. Zhifengtang is also divided into two, one part sets up an inspector's house, and the other part is still engaged in secret activities.

Of course, these are only Lu Qiang's preliminary assumptions, and the specific operation needs to be discussed with the ministers.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiang just showed a little mouth, but it seemed that the officials below had seen a huge weather vane.

Everyone knows that from the perspective of the current development trend of Jingzhou, it will be a matter of time before Lu Qiang returns to the throne of Jiankang. Judging from Lu Qiang's behavior, those officials of Jiankang have obviously been included in the list of elimination.

So if you can have a place in the small court of Jingzhou at this time, it will be really promising.

However, everyone knows Lu Qiang's personality, so this kind of thing is only discussed in private, but no one dares to talk about it openly in front of Lu Qiang.

But even if they didn't talk about it openly, Zhifengtang didn't eat. Liu Sinu immediately secretly reported it to Lu Qiang after sorting out the movements of the officials' remarks.

When Lu Qiang heard this, his heart suddenly surged with anger. This hasn't happened yet! I just want to reward my achievements.

If you are not angry, this kind of thing is also human. Moreover, since these officials took office, they have been honest. You can't lose your temper at will because of this little thing, otherwise who will be willing to work for you in the future?

Just have to warn them so that they don't spend all their thoughts on it. So Lu Qiang plans to teach them a lesson before the wedding.

The six parts are for officials, etiquette, punishment, soldiers, workers, and households. Each of them is headed by Shangshu, supplemented by left and right servants, as well as officials at all levels below.

It is impossible for so many officials to be appointed by Lu Qiang alone. He only needs to appoint ministers, and the following officials will be selected by the ministers and handed over to him for the final determination.

After some careful consideration, Lu Qiang initially drew up a list.

Shangshu, Wang Zhenvil, Shangshu of the Ministry of Ceremonies, Xie Wangzu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household, Wang Dan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Yan Yanzhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Xiao Yuanchang, former governor of Jin'an County, Han Yanzhi, Minister of the Ministry of War.

In fact, Lu Qiang originally wanted to give the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War to He Wuji, but he finally thought of Han Yanzhi, because he wanted to separate the army from the Ministry of War and be personally commanded by himself, so that the army can be under his absolute control at any time.

This list is only preliminary, and it is impossible to announce their appointment now. After all, he is still wearing the cloak of Jing and Jiang Assassin appointed by the imperial court. Even if he adds the right to open the three divisions, he cannot have such a large appointment. In that case, it is no different from blatant rebellion.

The new house of the wedding was decorated on the current mansion. Some officials also proposed to build a new mansion for Lu Qiang, but it was directly rejected by Lu Qiang.

Now he feels that the mansion is empty enough. Although it is necessary to arrange it, the place to live is enough. There are not so many people in such a big house. How lonely it is!

However, of course, it is impossible for Lu Qiang's family to have only those few women now. With the entry of four women, it is bound to bring a large number of dowry maids and domestic slaves, so the merger of the existing Assassin House into four courtyards, which suddenly seems much smaller.

At this time, some people wanted to speak, but were stopped by Wang Zhenvil and others. The emperor will live in the palace in the future, and this place will only be regarded as a separate courtyard. Even if it is renovated and covered, he will have to wait for Lu Qiang to return to Beijing.

With Wang Zhen evil and others in the way, Lu Qiang was finally able to put this matter down.

However, with Lu Qiang's current status, of course, it is impossible to live idle. There is a special person responsible for the marriage, and there is also Wang Shenai at home. He works in the front office every day. In addition to daily government affairs, while conceiving the reform of the official system, he also puts another thing on the agenda.

That is the construction of Guangong Temple.

Since the last time he repelled the Qin army, Lu Qiang has been thinking about this matter, but later there are too many things that have come one after another, so that he really has no time to pay attention to this matter. Now he finally has time.

Lu Qiang ordered people to find Xiao Yuanchang. After Lu Qiang left Jin'an County, Xiao Yuanchang has been vigorously developing urban construction. Today, Jin'an County has become a metropolis integrating military ports, commerce and commerce.

Although Lu Qiang gave him a good job before, it also shows that he is a very capable official, otherwise Lu Qiang would not have liked him to join the main engineering department.

Before, when Lu Qiang commemorated Guan Yu in Maicheng, he had publicized Guan Yu's relevant deeds. Although it was very convincing, it was not far after all, so many ordinary people still did not know who Guan Yu was.

Lu Qiang has personally written, recorded some of the deeds he knew about Guan Yu, and then handed them over to Xiao Yuanchang. He was asked to erect a monument for Guan Yu, and Guan Yu's temple was also the only temple he personally ordered to provide.

Xiao Yuanchang received the order and did not dare to neglect it. After he arrived in Jiangling, he had heard that Jingzhou's officialdom was afraid of change. At this time, Lu Qiang solemnly handed over this big event to himself. Does that Lord Lu will reuse himself?

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, an official who doesn't want to climb up, huh! It's not necessarily a bad official.

According to Lu Qiang's instructions, Guan Yu's temple was built in a relatively prosperous area in Jiangling, where there are many people and many business travelers. It is a good place to promote Guan Yu's unparalleled loyalty and loyalty to the country.

The address has been explored for a long time, and Xiao Yuan often only needs to organize construction.

I have to say that Lu Qiang's hand is really smart, that is, to achieve the private purpose of worshiping Guan Yu, and also has the effect of teaching the world.

The people of Jiangling, who were immersed in the joy of the wedding of the Assassin, suddenly found that there was a more scenery in the city.

According to Lu Qiang's instructions, before the temple was built, the stone tablet engraved with feather deeds was erected first, followed by Guan Yu's deeds were widely publicized.

Reading spring and autumn at night, scraping bones to cure poison, walking alone for thousands of miles... As soon as these stories spread, they were put on several layers of glittering coats in a short time.

Therefore, before Guan Yu's temple was built, people's gentry and even military * leaders came to worship.

A quick-brained shop owner immediately printed the Spring and Autumn Period, and then set up a stall in front of Guanyu Temple to sell the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which really made good money.

Some people are happy, and naturally some people are angry.

As early as when Sima Xiuzhi and others were killed by Lu Qiang, there was already news back to Jiankang, and the legend about Lu Qiang's life also loomed into Liu Yu's ears.

Is Lu Qiang Sima Dezong?

Liu Yu's surprise is no small. If that's the case, how can he fight this battle? Although the army is still firmly controlled, the war is not only the army, the stability of the rear, whether the military and the people are single-minded, the support of local officials, etc. are all factors that determine success or failure.

Without saying a word, Liu Yu immediately rushed into the palace to find Sima Dewen and forced him to ask him about Lu Qiang.

Now the German emperor has almost achieved success. Usually, he doesn't even wear a dragon robe and sits in front of the Buddha and recites scriptures all day. If he hadn't had a black hair on his head, he would be no different from a Taoist monk.

After listening to Liu Yu's questioning, Master German smiled unpredictably and only said that the secrets could not be revealed, and then closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

Liu Yuqi's tooth root hurts, but there is nothing he can do. He really wants to kill Sima Dewen. In the past, he was afraid of killing the king, but now he is afraid of attracting Lu Qiang's crazy revenge.

This matter hasn't been settled in Liu Yu's heart! The news that Lu Qiang is about to get married and build Guangong Temple came again.

Lu Qiangcheng did not get married, and Liu Yu didn't care at all. On the contrary, the Guangong Temple aroused his deep vigilance.

If Lu Qiang is really Sima Dezong, then he doesn't think about doing the groom's thing at this time, but is dedicated to promoting unparalleled loyalty and righteousness. What does he want to do?
