The role of the new official school, that is, the new official school, emerged at this time.

The purpose of the staff restructuring was also revealed.

Officials had no status or identity in the Song Dynasty, and were often discriminated against by officials.

However, when it comes to actual implementation, all officials are responsible for the work. Only by giving officials a sense of belonging and controlling them can we enhance control at the grassroots level.

As for enhancing the sense of belonging, you can't just shout slogans every day, you must also give actual things.

Now, it is the best practical action to promote a group of officials to serve as town supervisors.

After all, the town supervisor was considered an official official of the imperial court.

When Zhao Guanjia said this, everyone thought it was feasible.

Zhao Ning added: "I asked Wang Zonglio to register as a Tokyo businessman. Tokyo's commercial tax last year was obviously much more standardized, which shows that this is effective."

Zhao Ding said: "The results of registering merchants in Taifu Temple are indeed immediate. Not only are business taxes easier to collect, but the dispatch of merchants is also much easier."

Several others agreed.

Zhao Ning changed his style: "In the former Tang Dynasty, there was a Jiedushi envoy who was in charge of one side. In our dynasty, the Jiedushi envoy has become an empty title. Each road has a transportation department, a Changping department, and a prison department. If there is a war,

At the border, there will also be a pacification and economic strategy department."

The governors became confused, what happened to Zhao Guan's family?

The local four divisions in the Song Dynasty were equivalent to the highest yamen at the road level.

For example, the transshipment department is responsible for revenue and water transportation along the way.

In ancient times, there were not so many industries, and due to limited productivity, the court would not interfere too much with the people, and there was not a lot of economic support.

The so-called trading company registration, management, industrial division, etc. did not exist in ancient times.

Since there is no such thing, the management of the place will be very easy.

What is most important in that place?

One, maintain stability, as long as there is no unrest.

2. Taxation.

These two points are the most important.

Therefore, the four divisions of the Song Dynasty were actually arranged around these two points.

The Transshipment Department is responsible for taxation, and the Changping Department is the grain reserve yamen. It is the yamen that mobilizes grain at any time in various places, and it is also for the purpose of maintaining stability.

Not to mention those responsible for the administration of justice, including the Department of Prisons and Prisons.

However, the highest yamen responsible for the administrative management of the road is not clear.

Logically speaking, the transshipment envoy is also responsible, but the greatest responsibility of the transshipment envoy is tax collection and water transportation.

In other words, there were no governors in the true sense of the word in the Song Dynasty.

This is ineffective in the central court's strong management of local areas.

Of course, the Si Si Yamen in the Song Dynasty actually dismantled the power of the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty to prevent the local power from becoming too powerful.

However, the top executive with administrative functions failed to deal with it clearly.

What's wrong with this for Zhao Ning?

Regarding the registration and management of merchants under the New Deal, which local government office would eventually consolidate all state offices and coordinate with the imperial court?

Let alone businessman management, just say that Zhao Ning wants to build a road between Tokyo and Jianglingfu. Who will coordinate the people's power?

At this time, a "provincial governor" role is needed.

We cannot always let the yamen responsible for tax collection do administrative work.

Zhao Ning continued: "I am thinking that since the registration of businessmen in Taifu Temple is effective, we must continue to implement it. This time Huaixi is undergoing a reorganization of officials, and I am thinking that the businessmen in Huaixi should also be recorded. What do you think?

?”

"I second the proposal."

"But this matter cannot be left to the Transportation Department, so I set up an office in Huaixi that specializes in civil affairs, called the Chief Secretary. From now on, the Transportation Department will focus on tax collection and water transportation. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, looking at each other, a little surprised.

Zhang Shuye said: "Will it increase the redundancy of officials?"

Xu Han said: "It is possible."

You can't just cut off some official positions and add others, right?

How is this different from no cuts?

Zhao Dingze said: "We can make a compromise. All the yamen that previously managed people's livelihood should be stripped out of the Transportation Department. The Transportation Department is only responsible for taxation and water transportation. The rest includes iron and salt mining, prohibition, deployment of civilian power, business records, fertile land reclamation, and trading.

Recommendations for officials, etc., are all assigned to the Chief Secretary."

"That's okay."

Zhao Ning said: "Since you think it is feasible, let's try it on Gyeonggi Road and Huaixi first, and leave this matter to Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Ding said: "Yes."

At present, a series of rectification plans for Huaixi have come out, and what is left is to re-establish the team.

This set has only one purpose: to strengthen the court's control over Huaixi and create a relatively healthy yamen team for the new policies that may be introduced one after another.

Of course, the most urgent thing right now is to track down previous tax evasion.

Li Chongwen went through all the accounts in Shouzhou. The first thing Li Guang did when he took office was to clean up the accounts and check all past tax and prohibited income.

Before the chief envoy to Huaixi came out, all personnel recommendations for officials in various states came from Li Guang.

Time passed quickly. On March 28, all the other officials involved were captured and taken to the capital. These officials arrived in the capital by water.

There were ninety-one officials in total, and the Criminal Department worked overtime overnight to interrogate, and the process went very quickly.

On March 30, ninety-one officials were sentenced to death and executed outside the city.

The executioner's arms were numb and his knife was notched.

The capital city in March of the fourth year of Jingkang could be said to be blood red.

When Weng Yanguo, who was still in prison, heard this, he was stunned.

In fact, he has been waiting for Zhao Guan's joke.

Doesn’t Zhao Guan’s family need to be investigated strictly?

He was waiting for Zhao Guan's family to find out that all officials in Huaixi had problems, and see how Zhao Guan's family would end up.

He believed that Zhao Ning must not dare to go to war.

But Zhao Ning just took action and killed heads everywhere.

On the evening of the 30th, Weng Yanguo was also pushed outside the city, stabbed and his head fell to the ground.

In this major case that shocked the government and the public, a total of 127 officials were killed, and dozens of other officials were found guilty of murder and were waiting to be executed in Huaixi.

And tens of thousands of people have been affected.

In the past, they monopolized local business, annexed fertile land, and used their power to oppress the people.

Now, some of them have had their property confiscated and are assigned to guard the border.

News of the Huaixi case spread like a hurricane, causing great shock.

This is a huge local damage to conservatives.

The Huaixi case also made the struggle in the court more intense.

The conservatives believe that the New Dealers killed so many people by hook or by crook, while the New Dealers believe that the conservatives forced Wang Jing, the magistrate of Luzhou, to death in order to resist the imperial court's audit of accounts.

What's more, conservatives think that what's even more outrageous is that Li Guang was sent as a transfer envoy, and the new officials recommended were basically New Dealers.

The conflict between the two parties has undoubtedly entered a new situation.
