The Privy Council, Du Zhongxiao and Tian Kuang summoned the deputy envoys to meet the newly arrived Zhao Zi and others to discuss the follow-up matters.

After the ceremony, everyone sat down. Du Zhongxiao said, "The training of the imperial guards has officially begun today. Under the Privy Council, in addition to the direct yamen such as the Chengzhi Yuan, there are four departments below. They are the Military Orders, which are under the command of Zhao Zi. This is a newly established department, which is in charge of the military orders of the world and the various commanders who are under the control of the imperial guards. The overall deployment of the imperial guards, internal and external defenses, and fighting with the enemy countries, are all under their jurisdiction. There is also the Jiyi Department, which is in charge of the military affairs of the world, the secret affairs of the country, the geographical surveying and mapping of the country, foreign customs and customs affairs.

, and all kinds of geographical surveying and mapping are all under his control. This department is under his charge by Li Zhang. There is also the Logistics Department, which is in charge of the entire army's money and grain. Money allocation and grain transfer are all under his control. Let me talk about it here that the wine warehouse and various things that were returned to the Privy Council in the past were allocated to the Central Secretariat. The Privy Council only cares about spending money, regardless of making money, and the money and grain are transferred to the Central Secretariat every year. The Logistics Department is under his charge of Li Fugui. When he was in Suizhou, he managed the military's money and grain, and then went to Hequ Road for many years. The last department was rewarding merits, which was under the leadership of Chen Xu."

Everyone crossed their hands together and said it was. Fu Bi said, "There are military law departments in the three yamen, and the Privy Council has also set up the reward merit department. What are the differences and differences?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The simplest way is to say, one is punishment and the other is reward. Of course, if you really do it, there are punishments for the reward meritorious service. The Military and Law Department is used to maintain daily military discipline, and the reward meritorious service is to restrain wartime discipline in wartime. When fighting against the enemy, those who have made merits must be recorded, and those who have made merits must be rewarded. Those who have made mistakes must also be recorded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. This is the reward meritorious service. As for the military and horses in normal times, they are not under their jurisdiction."

Everyone nodded and finally understood why the Privy Council had another rewarding authority when there was a military court in the third yamen. The rewarding authority was originally set up for wartime, so it was under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. Of course, if you have military merits in daily life, you also have to reward it.

Several new chiefs of the department, Zhao Zi, Li Zhang, Li Fugui and Chen Xu, stood up and met several Privy Councillors. Their status was roughly equivalent to the former general of the military commander and the status of the Three Yadu Yuhou. The court's charity was the same as that of the commander of the four wings of the Pengri Tianwu, and the third Yadu Yuhou. Of course, after the training, the original military commander had been cancelled, leaving only names and treatments.

After sitting back, Du Zhongxiao said: "Taiwei Zhao has been in the army for many years, and we don't have to say much about our affairs. Li Fugui has been in charge of food and grass for many years. Now he is in charge of the money and food in the world. Although there are many different places, there are always rules to follow. These days, he often contacts the officials of the yamen who are in charge of money and food in the Central Secretariat, and is familiar with it early in accordance with the rules. As for rewarding merits, the court used to have regulations. Chen Xu looked at it more and made a decision based on the wars in recent years. The newly established Jiyi Si is in charge of intelligence and is the most important department in the Privy Council except for the Military Order Department. Taiwei Li has been in the imperial guards for many years and should know Jiyi's words. These days, he often contacts with generals and officials transferred from various armies and get familiar with it as soon as possible."

All the officials bowed together and said yes.

Zhang Sheng said: "They all have something to do. What do we have to do these days? After the changes are made, the matter will inevitably be different."

Du Zhongxiao said: "When the subordinate departments have something to report. Each department can decide what it needs to report, and has a preliminary charter. When they do things, we must also learn from them. There are also the settings of the following departments. The envoys and deputy officers should pay more attention to it. Do not complete the restructuring of the Privy Council, and the envoys and deputy officers are not familiar with the affairs below. Another point is how many things the yamen do, how many people they need to use, and what rules and regulations they need to use, and also the envoys and deputy officers should work hard. When the restructuring is completed, regulations must be released."

This is the characteristic of the official system of the Song Dynasty. In addition to the army, the general yamen and local governments are not single-ranking officials, but many chief officials. The Secretariat had prime ministers and deputy envoys, and the local government had magistrates and magistrates, and there were division of labor and restraints between each other. It has become a common habit to prevent one person from being too powerful and to check for omissions.

During this restructuring, the Privy Council established four new departments, and all the chief officials were of high power. On them, there were still two Privy Councilors and three deputy envoys. In addition to these four departments, there were independent yamen such as Tongjinyi Division, Chengzhi Division, and Jianqing Institute, which were established according to the matter. However, compared with the Four Departments, the officials in these yamen were not high and their positions were not so important.

After the introduction, Du Zhongxiao said: "The four new departments have been established, and with other matters, the staff of the officials in the Privy Council will be greatly increased. The current Shufu is a little narrow. The emperor specially ordered the expansion of Shufu to be expanded to the west of the Zhongshu. This matter was taken by Zhang Sheng and Zeng Gongliang. They should be required to make money and materials, and they should allocate money to the Zhongshu. Except for the government office, they can choose places nearby and build official residences. Many of the officials who came to Beijing did not have residences and asked them to rent houses. Some of them had no money and needed a place to stay."

Zhang Sheng bowed: "Taiwei, every inch of land in the capital is valuable, where can I have free space?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "There are still some vacant land around the Shufu Mansion, not private houses. In addition, you can ask for land from the Zhongshu and Kaifeng Mansion. There are many private houses under their shops and housekeeping. These are rented to private households, and there is nothing to do with them to build houses."

Zhang Sheng and Zeng Gongliang bowed and said yes, muttering in their hearts, thinking that this matter is not easy to handle. Asking for money from the Secretary of the Central Committee is so easy to talk to? It is even more difficult to build a residence. The Privy Council is located west of the Secretary of the Central Committee, where is there an empty space in the imperial city. Once the imperial city is out of the imperial city, it is a commercial treasure land that is worth every inch of land, and which one will give you easily.

Looking at the faces of the two, Du Zhongxiao knew their thoughts and said, "This military reform was made up by the emperor and the emperor made a decision to do it all over the country. The Secretary of the Central Committee will not be difficult for you. There are too many generals and officials entering Beijing this time, and it is inevitable that there will be a lack of residence. Building houses is decided by the court, and Kaifeng Prefecture should cooperate. Our Privy Council has not many houses to build, and the three yamen have to join together. With so many officials added, they have to build really many."

Zhang Sheng and Zeng Gongliang thought about it, as the three yamen were originally three yamen, which were very far away from each other. In the future, they would be one yamen. Of course, they would have to work together and be close to the imperial city. It would not be easy to choose a place to build the capital.

As for the local area, one is the store business. These houses are rented to the public for money, and it is nothing to be demolished and built into the yamen. Another is the military camps saved, which are spread all over the capital and have many territories. After the training, the military camps in the capital will become more concentrated and many places are vacant. More imperial guards stationed in the capital will be distributed outside the city. They switch to guns and cannons, which is inconvenient for training in the city.

Du Zhongxiao smiled: "There are more than 300,000 troops in the capital and 300,000 troops in Hebei and Hedong need training. The days ahead are not easy. You must be prepared. This year will inevitably be busy and no longer be the same as before."

Tian Kuang said: "This time the entire army was reorganized, since the Three Yas were almost formed from scratch, we not only had to manage the Privy Council, but also many affairs of the Three Yas need to be done. Taiwei Du said that it is already a great thing to do in a year or a year. You all know that if you do it well, you will have endless benefits. If you don't do it well, you will inevitably punish it heavily!"

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Yes, this training is a tight spot for the emperor. Which one does well and which one does not do well is all in the Sacred Heart. I hope that by the end of this year, all the airs that the yamen should have, all the personnel will arrive, and the regulations will be clear. Three years later, the training of the entire army will be completed. At that time, the court had 800,000 troops, and the army went north to restore Yanyun. Only then can we be considered to have achieved merits and this matter was done."
Chapter completed!
