Chapter 520 Solutions
The newly established Ministry of Public Security can also be regarded as a group to appease the civilian officials.
After all, on the surface, the Ministry of Public Security belongs to the civil service group, increasing their power.
However, Wu Changqing will definitely not let them get their wish.
The Ministry of Public Security will try to make it a relatively independent department, separate from the military and civilian officials.
Similarly, Wu Changqing also formulated a new system. The appointment and dismissal of officials in the Inspectorate is determined by the Inspectorate, and does not need to pass the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel.
This change will have a greater impact.
On the surface, it is increasing the power of the Inspectorate and weakening the power of the Ministry of Personnel.
But in fact, Wu Changqing wanted to spin the Inspectorate out of the civilian group and make it a relatively independent department like the Ministry of Public Security.
The promotion of the officials of the Inspectorate is determined internally, so the officials of the Inspectorate will no longer have to curry favor with the Ministry of Personnel, and there will be no entanglement of interests, thus reducing the risk of collusion.
Of course, as the power of the Inspectorate increases, new problems will certainly breed within it.
There is no such thing as perfection in the world, the lesser of the two.
Wu Changqing plans to change this for the time being, and find a way to solve the problems that arise in the future.
The first thing to do now is to strip away the civil service collective a little to reduce the chance of officials and officials protecting each other.
There is a conflict of interest between the person in charge of supervision and the person under supervision, and it is too easy to get into trouble.
In addition, Wu Changqing also set up a new guard system.
Soldiers in some special areas are allowed to settle fields, mainly in remote areas.
For example, soldiers in the Jiangnan area do not need to farm fields at all. With the richness of Jiangnan and the consumption of no long-distance transportation, the cost of raising an army will be relatively low.
Moreover, the Jiangnan area is the core of Dahua, and it also needs a professional army that trains every day to defend the center and shock the surrounding area.
In places like Guanwai, Southwest, Northwest, etc., it is necessary to set up guards, and the local garrison needs to find a way to make money.
The new Weisuo system stipulates that farming is not necessarily farming. In the mountains, you can plant fruit trees, in the seaside you can go to the sea to fish, and where there are mines, you can mine.
In short, we must rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to draft, and be flexible.
In order to prevent the corruption of these institutions in the field, Wu Changqing also established a new supervision department, the Field Supervision Division.
The beauty of this division is that it is under the jurisdiction of the military, but its administrative expenses are allocated from the Ministry of Households.
This is tantamount to giving the civilian officials an opportunity to supervise the Field Inspection Division, lest the Field Inspection Division and the army go into trouble.
However, the Ministry of Household has only a little supervision power, but no power to directly intervene in the jurisdiction.
In this way, the civilian officials could not control the Tuntian Supervision Department. However, in order not to make the army feel better, they will definitely go to great lengths to carry out strict supervision.
In the end, neither the military nor the civilians could benefit from this supervision department, only the emperor was cheap.
Of course, this is just Wu Changqing's ideal state.
After the specific implementation, will it evolve into the funds of the Ministry of Household's Katuntian Supervision Division, forcing the Tuntian Supervision Division to obey the Ministry of Household. Or, will the military secretly subsidize the Tuntian Supervision Department, so that the Tuntian Supervision Department will get rid of its dependence on the Ministry of Households?
These, Wu Changqing did not know, and even difficult to predict.
In short, any perfect system run by imperfect people is 100% faulty.
Human beings are too cunning. For their own benefit, they can always find loopholes in the system for profit.
This is why the previous dynasties liked to respect the rule of etiquette, hoping to restrain officials by virtue of etiquette. Relying on the legal system, no matter how good the regulations are, they are enforced by specific people.
Of course, this kind of etiquette has also been proven to be useless, at least for the vast majority of people.
In the face of interests, etiquette and morality are floating clouds.
Tuntian is a way to open source. In addition, Wu Changqing also made guiding opinions on the development of the army.
Prioritize vigorously developing the navy, and then go overseas to grab resources.
Make money, how can robbing money come fast.
Merchants have to spend money to buy goods overseas, and the cost of grabbing resources is linked to force.
The stronger the force, the lower the cost of snatch.
Three or two cannons beat the natives, and then they can plunder as much as they want.
If you don't accept it, you will be in big trouble, and you will fall into the quagmire of a long-term war.
Although China is not yet fully unified, Wu Changqing can't wait to go overseas and plunder resources.
After all, Huaxia's site is his own, and he has to spend money to manage it if he grabs it. Just like in the north now, disaster relief is needed, as well as support for its infrastructure.
It will take another two or three years to count on the north to give blood to the central government.
And overseas, then there is no need to build, just frantically plunder.
Therefore, if you go to the southwest to fight outside the customs, it is pure expenditure, and there is no income.
And when playing overseas, you can use war to support war, and if you play well, you may even make a lot of money.
At the first stop, Wu Changqing set the target at Fusang. Who made this place have many gold and silver mines, and they are also close.
The distance from Shanghai to Fusang is only over 1,500 miles, which is closer than from Shanghai to Beijing.
And it is all transported by sea and water, and the cost is low.
At this time, Fuso was in the Edo period, that is, the Tokugawa shogunate period.
At this time, Fusang has been six years old
In the past, the policy of closing the country was carried out, and only a few trading ports were retained.
With the prosperity of overseas trade, Dahua's businessmen will definitely be dissatisfied with Fusang's closed-door policy, because the goods they produce cannot be easily transported to Fusang for dumping.
It can be said that if the military wants to fight Fusang, Dahua's businessmen will certainly be very enthusiastic to give support.
Whether it is from plundering resources, opening up the dumping market, or geographical location and other factors, Fusang needs to be completely occupied.
And, the sooner the better.
After all, assimilation takes time. Taking advantage of the fact that Fusang's national consciousness is not strong enough, it is easy to assimilate after the occupation.
The longer they stay in isolation, the stronger the national consciousness.
The establishment of the Ministry of Public Security, the divestiture of the Inspectorate, the establishment of the Field Inspection Department, the establishment of the Field Guard Station, and the guidance on the development of the military, these are a series of policies that Wu Changqing used to solve the problem of military spending.
It took Wu Changqing two days just to construct the general framework.
After all, this thing is easy to say, but to take into account the countless problems that may arise in the specific implementation, it is necessary to formulate many comprehensive rules.
This is a waste of brains. Generally, people who write novels will not write in detail, and they have no such ability.
After formulating the framework, Wu Changqing summoned relevant departments and asked them to improve according to this framework.
The civil servants who were summoned were suddenly on the verge of tears, and they found that they had become tool people again.
Important matters, their arguments, and their opinions didn't seem to play a big role. In the end, Wu Changqing had the final say.
Although they can play a role when it comes to formulating the rules.
However, this effect is too small.
Many civil servants sighed in their hearts. Since ancient times, it was the most difficult thing to be a courtier of the founding emperor, because the founding emperors were generally very powerful.
What makes this generation of Dahua officials even more desperate is that Wu Changqing is still very young, and if nothing else happens, it will take at least thirty or forty years, or even longer.
These officials are basically in their 40s and 50s, and they will definitely not survive Wu Changqing.
