Chapter 596: Capital Inspector
Focusing on past dynasties and what Liu Qi learned in later generations before traveling through time.
"Please tell me, Commander Liu, what do you want?" After a long while, Fang heard Man Chong speak slowly.
Liu Qi looked up at the roof, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, it's very simple. It is to separate the final decision-making power of Han law from the hands of the county guards and county magistrates in our territory of Jingzhou to create a unique system."
Speaking of this, Liu Qi looked at Man Chong with a smile: "Mr. Man Chong, would you like to help me?"
Man Chong naturally understands what Liu Qi means. This can relatively weaken the excessive power of the chief of a county, and at the same time increase Liu Qi's control over various counties...
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a means to relatively strengthen centralization.
but……
"Simply establishing a separate authority for the heads of counties to adjudicate cases, I'm afraid... it won't have the effect you want... without supervision."
Liu Qi thought that Man Chong was indeed smart enough and immediately thought of the key.
"Actually, I want to establish three independent sets of official offices in the territory under my jurisdiction, and set them up in every county and county below the state capital. The first is to establish an independent Han law; the second is to set up inspectors imitating the Yushitai in central Beijing; the third is to establish Han law
Executive offices. Among the three, two are law enforcement and law-enforcement agencies, and one is supervision... I intend to establish these three offices as: Metropolitan Procuratorate, Criminal Office, and Court Office. All three are state-level, and they are divided into counties in order.
The lower county design branch...are independent of the county office and the county office."
Man Chong was not surprised at the establishment of these three bureaus, because similar to the Metropolitan Inspectorate, in fact, in his view, it was nothing more than the Yushitai in Beijing, while the Ting bureau was equivalent to the Tingwei Mansion, but it was changed from the Beijing system.
It became a state system, that's all.
But independent of the county office, this sentence is quite interesting.
This shows that Liu Qi is determined to take full control of the power within his jurisdiction.
This young man... is indeed extraordinary.
If it were Yuan Shao, I am afraid he would never make such a decision easily.
Because to a certain extent, separating the functions of these three institutions from the county offices also indirectly cuts off the means for some noble families and powerful families to collude with the county offices and county offices to cause trouble among the people.
On the surface, it appears to be a legal code, but in fact it is a struggle for power with local governments.
"Among these three offices, which one does the envoy want Man to serve in?" Man Chong said.
Liu Qi touched his chin and thought seriously.
In fact, to be honest, each of these three positions is more suitable for a person like Man Chong, and he is still his fellow villager in Shanyang, and has nothing to do with the people in Jingzhou... How many such people can he use?
How many.
It is a pity that there is only one Man Chong at the moment, and the three agencies cannot be merged into one, otherwise the power that has been taken over will not be concentrated in his own hands, but in Man Chong's hands.
After carefully weighing and thinking, Liu Qi just said quietly: "The three departments cannot be established at the same time. They must be established step by step to avoid sudden changes. After all, we still have foreign enemies in Jingzhou right now. Among the six generals, Sun Jian and Shi Xie have not retreated yet."
, the plague has not been extinguished, and it is not suitable to go to war... At the moment, stability is the priority."
When talking about this, Liu Qi said: "Among the three offices, supervision should be the main one at the moment. I want to set up a metropolitan inspection office in Jingzhou, and Man Gong is the governor of Jingzhou."
Obviously, since the state is the unit, the state's capital inspector is obviously directly under the orders of the state pastoral office, and the administrative level is higher than that of the county.
If it were anyone else, even a fellow countryman, but he would be entrusted with such an important task by Liu Qi just after arriving in Jingzhou, and he would be either grateful or terrified.
But Man Chong was obviously more rational than others, and he knew very well what was behind Liu Qi's appointment.
I was isolated and hated by many, many people!
It would be good for Liu Qi to be on his side, but if Liu Qi wants to sacrifice him...
This needs to be chosen carefully.
Liu Qi obviously saw Man Chong's concerns and said: "Of course, this is just my idea. If Man Chong doesn't want to, I will never force him... As Man Chong said just now, there are so many vacant positions in Jingzhou.
"Very well, if Duke Manchu wants to be a governor or a county magistrate, that's fine. After all, Duke Manchu is a great talent. No matter what position he takes under Liu Qi, it will be a blessing to the Liu family of Shanyang."
After saying that, Liu Qi looked at Man Chong seriously and said, "Mr. Man, you choose."
Man Chong looked at Liu Qi seriously, thought for a long time, and finally said: "It's natural for the emperor to want Man to be the supervisor. Come to think of it... now all the counties are opening warehouses to release grain for disaster relief. This is a good way to cure the plague.
The larger the scale, the easier it is for someone to seek personal gain with power, so Man came at the right time."
Man Chong's intelligence far exceeded Liu Qi's imagination.
The thing is this... Jingzhou will definitely spend a lot of money and food to control the plague this time, but can these materials really be used to treat the plague?
Liu Qi thought it was impossible no matter how much he thought about it.
And it was at this time that Man Chong appeared.
"If Liu Shijun lets Man do this to investigate history, it will be in line with my lifelong ambition, but there are two things that Man needs to figure out."
"What two things?"
"First, if the capital inspectorate is under the direct control of the Jingzhou Mufu, will Man Mou be under the control of Liu Jingzhou or Liu Shijun?"
"Yan Jun is seriously ill at the moment. The inspection office is just a matter between you and me. We are so anxious that we cannot build an official office. For the time being, in the name of my direct subordinate, General Zhenxi, you can inspect the use of money and food in various counties during disaster relief, as well as the use of money and food during disaster relief."
The performance of the officials...afterwards, regarding your ownership issue, I will give Man Gong a reasonable explanation and arrangement."
Man Chong nodded and asked again: "May I ask the envoy, I am ordered to go to the local prosecutor's office, what should I do if I encounter resistance?"
"You have full authority to act. If there is resistance, you can deal with it on the spot without reporting it to me." Liu Qi said without hesitation.
Liu Qi will not delegate power to everything, but if there are shortcomings in disaster relief matters, it may affect his plans for the next three or even five years. If a disaster like the plague is not dealt with well, it will have a negative impact on the future.
The damage is extremely far-reaching.
Man Chong said: "It's just... local disaster relief, if there is any misconduct, it will be either the county office or the county office, and there are even local powerful people involved. If I just bring dozens of criminal officials to investigate, it may not be effective.
…”
"I will give you the right to control the troops." Liu Qi said calmly.
"In this case, Man is willing to share your worries."
…
After a detailed discussion with Man Chong, Liu Qi asked him to go back to rest and report to his mansion the next day. He would introduce Man Chong to his subordinates and grant him a position.
After Man Chong left, Liu Qi got up and went to Jingzhou Animal Husbandry Office to see Liu Biao.
After arriving at Liu Biao's room, he saw Liu Xiu feeding Liu Biao again.
"Brother is here?" Liu Xiu stood up hurriedly when he saw Liu Qi arriving.
Liu Qi waved his hand and asked him to sit down.
Then Liu Qi sat next to the bed and watched with a smile as Liu Xiu fed Liu Biao.
Liu Biao felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Liu Qi. He coughed twice and turned to Liu Xiu: "Son, let your elder brother feed me. You can go out."
Liu Xiu was very sensible. He knew that Liu Biao had something to say to Liu Qi, so he immediately gave his job to Liu Qi, got up and went out.
Liu Qi looked at the weak Liu Biao and said: "Father, my child has found a miracle doctor. This man has cured many people who have been infected with the epidemic in the city. My child wants him to show his father that he will be able to cure diseases and eliminate disasters."
