Qin unified the world and established a county system, which implemented a two-level division. Later, Qin Dynasty implemented a county system in the Han Dynasty, which included both feudal states and counties. Later, states emerged, and states were only supervised prefectures at the beginning, which was empty and had no permanent yamen.

By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it had actually become a three-level division of prefectures, counties and counties. One prefecture had only two or three counties, or even one or two counties, one county and two or three counties, and nine out of ten sheep were shepherded. By the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty unified the world again and ended the chaos, Emperor Wen of Sui reformed again, abolished the counties in the world, and only retained the two levels of prefectures and counties, and also abolished many states, leaving only more than 300 prefectures and more than 1,000 counties in the world.

After simplifying this, there were fewer yamen, fewer officials, streamlined institutions, and higher efficiency in work. Later, although Yang Guang changed prefectures and counties to counties, he was actually still at two levels. Yang Guang even changed more than 300 prefectures to more than 200 counties, further streamlining many institutions.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, the counties and counties were changed into prefectures and counties. By the time of Li Shimin, Tao was established. The world was divided into ten roads, but Tao was the same as the prefectures in the Han Dynasty, and it was a virtual supervision road.

However, later, the territory of the Tang Dynasty became larger and larger, and more and more of this territory were established. Gradually, there were permanent officials and permanent yamen at the first level.

By the time of Dahua, the world had actually formed a formal three-level administrative system at Daozhou and county levels. Not only did the Dao level have the Xuanfu envoy, but there were also the left and right governors, inspectors, commanders, and the three yamen.

Like the state, Dao is completely built.

But today, Dahua still has many changes compared to the time of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. The biggest change is of course that the territory is wider, the territory is larger, and the population is larger, and the economy is richer.

The population was only more than 10 million in the early Tang Dynasty, and now the official population has exceeded 100 million, which has also increased a lot compared to the population of more than 50 million in Zhenguan.

There are countless new territory in all directions.

There were ten Taos in the past, and then more than ten Taos, twenty Taos, and now dozens of Taos.

"Redefine the administrative divisions of the world to enhance efficiency."

Simplifying the number of prefectures and counties is to enhance efficiency. Now that Dahua wants to increase, it is still for efficiency. Too many zonings are not a good thing. Nine out of ten sheep are shepherds, that is, redundant officials. And a county magistrate manages hundreds of thousands or millions of people, it is difficult to manage.

It is very necessary to make adjustments in time according to actual conditions and keep pace with the times.

What is the biggest difference between a province and a road?

The positions of governor and admiral were added, and this was a new official who was established above the original Xuanfu.

However, Zhang Chao did not intend to establish a governor or admiral in every province. On the contrary, the province has changed its territory, and the province has not changed much from the past, but several adjacent provinces will send a governor and an admiral to take charge of the military and political affairs of these provinces.

This is equivalent to an administrative division above the province, but this division is just like the states in the early Han Dynasty or the Taoist in the early Tang Dynasty.

For example, Longyou Province and Hexi Province are adjacent to each other and are also a relatively close whole in terms of geographical location. Therefore, the imperial court established a governor of Longyou to be responsible for the military and political affairs of the two provinces, and then a governor of Longyou to be responsible for military affairs.

In order to make the governor more powerful, the court gave the governor of Longyou to serve as the governor of Longyou Province, which was equivalent to governing the government affairs of Longyou Province while governing the two provinces.

Hubei Province and Hunan Province, another Governor of Two Lakes is set up in the two provinces.

The provincial province is equivalent to the power of the Shangshu Province in the past, and the governor is equivalent to the power of the General Administration of the Sui Dynasty in the past. Although there must be corresponding adjustments, the provincial level will be added, or the Dao level will be changed to Dao and Provincial levels, one virtual and one real. This adjustment is to allow the Dahua court to have a better rule over the increasingly larger empire territory.

Major overseas territories need to be split, such as the Trust territories. In the past, only one territories were set up.

In this adjustment, the credibility leader may be changed to two to three provinces, and then a credibility channel is set up, and the credibility governor, admiral, etc.

According to the plan of Ma Zhou and their cabinet, after adjusting the zoning this time.

By then, the Great Hua Empire will have thirty-six roads, a total of 81 provinces, more than 700 states and more than 3,000 counties in the world.

This is a very large district setting. The governor of the first level is from the second level, the governor of the provincial level is the third level, the governor of the first level is the fifth level, and the magistrate of the first level is the seventh level.

The road is not divided into levels, and each province is divided into internal and external provinces, while the prefectures and counties are divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower.

In the future, local powers and responsibilities will increase, and no matter how much or small it is, they will be submitted to the court. Even in terms of personnel, except for the chief and adjutants of prefectures and counties, the officials of the court's Ministry of Personnel, generally the officials of prefectures and county governments are recommended by superiors, and then the superiors review and decision are made, and the Ministry of Personnel is only responsible for supervision.

Even in terms of finance, they will be left with more taxes so that local governments can plan their own expenses and arrange their use.

In Xindu, the work of the governors and governors, mainly divided into vassal territories, and a small number of court-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-level government-

For the prime ministers of the cabinet, they took the initiative to establish a province or even send governors from various departments, which was actually a helpless move.

Dahua destroyed a country today and captured several cities tomorrow. It will only last three years to establish its country, and countless countries can be destroyed. This expanded territory is even more vast and boundless. Not to mention those extremely remote places that are rarely visited, nor to mention the territorial colonies of the United States, Australia and other countries. Apart from those, I still don’t know how many territories have been expanded.

For example, in the past, places such as central Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangnan, Guangnan, etc. were mostly jailed places. Although there were prefectures and counties, they were actually autonomous by the natives and were truly managed by the Central Plains court, which was the traditional Central Plains region.

Even few states in Lingnan are truly controlled.

But now, let alone Jiannan in Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Funan and other places, there is no real control of the imperial court.

There are many road level named in the South, namely the Fusang Islands, the Ryuko Islands, and even the Luzon Islands, the Annan Islands, the Vietnam Islands.

Guangnan, Funan, Annan, Vietnam, Jinzhou Island from Jiaozhou to the opposite shore of Lijiapo.

Not to mention Dingnan in Australia.

The place is too big, it is difficult to manage.

Not to mention anything else, a government order was issued, in the traditional Central Plains, with the help of the smooth flow of canals and national highways, it could be delivered in a very short time, and even important orders could be delivered through the developed pigeon station.

But the more you go, the more difficult it is to convey the decree. Even if it is a flying pigeon, it is difficult to send a message. Because the pigeons at the pigeon station will not fly back by themselves, and they have to put them in cages, carts, ships, and ship them back.

Even if the sub-station delivery of one stop is, the more borders it is, the harder it is to travel, which will naturally greatly affect the message delivery.

It may take one month to pass a government order from Hanjing to Yunnan. Even if it is used for Feixin, it will probably take ten days and a half months. If it is passed to the trust, it will take longer.

And if you want to pass it to America, it will take once every six months.

In this case, the cabinet was also helpless.

This requires greater decision-making autonomy in the local area and cannot rely on the imperial cabinet in everything.

If it weren't for this, the cabinet would certainly not be willing to give local governments more power, give them more decision-making power, personnel power, and financial power, which would mean that the control of local governments would be weakened. However, if the power was not given, local officials would not have the power, but the court would be out of reach, which would eventually affect management.

The governors sent by each bureau are actually equivalent to the prime minister sent by a cabinet. They have important decision-making power over the two or three provinces of this bureau and are considered as representatives of the cabinet.

In this way, it means that the cabinet has established 36 second-level cabinets across the country, and the governors are responsible for the prime minister of the cabinet and are responsible for leading the military and political affairs of the provinces in their own provinces.

The governor has great power, but the first level of the road is relatively empty. There is only one governor's office and no corresponding organization. Moreover, the governor has to rely on the example and the governor of a province to truly have great power.

In this way, the cabinet has a specially sent governor to be responsible for matters in several provinces, and there is no need to worry that the governor has too much power at that time, causing a situation where the local government and the court to compete with the court or even be too big.

The provincial level is real, but after the reform, by then, the strength of the 81 provinces across the country will be relatively scattered and can be checked and balanced.

"The five capitals, the capitals of each province and the big city with a population of more than 200,000 are set as prefectures. The prefecture is the same as the prefecture, but the level is higher than that of the prefecture. The prefecture is the fourth rank, and the prefecture of the Hanjing is the third rank."

The cabinet's administrative division adjustment this time is a major event and has been brewing for a long time.

Finally, the plan was made to draw the world into thirty-six roads, eighty-one provinces, more than seven hundred military prefectures, and more than three thousand counties.

Such a big deal involves a lot.

Even the commander-in-chief of the Army, Su Dingfang, opened his eyes wide when he heard it.

For nothing else, the commander-in-chief of the Army is just a military Buddha offered to him and has no real power. But this governor is different.

The governor can at least manage two provinces, or even three provinces and four provinces, one governor, and also serve as the governor of one province, the governor of military affairs, and a real chief official.

Su Dingfang was young and still young. At the age of fifty, he could only squat in the capital every day, and his idleness was almost moldy.

If one can be released as governor, he may have the opportunity to join the cabinet and serve as one or two prime ministers in the future. Although Dahua is separated by civil and military affairs, military generals can also retire and transfer to civil positions. Those generals who have fought have changed their positions, and there are no obstacles to joining the cabinet.

He never thought about becoming a prime minister in the future, and he didn't even want to be a prime minister, but it was quite attractive to be a prime minister.

The Prime Minister of the Cabinet, even the auxiliary minister, is much more attractive than the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Privy Councilor, etc.

Thirty-six governors, but they can't be the general manager, and they are also the chief officials of the border. Even if the 36 governors are reduced to thirty-six governors, there are still 45 governors.
