Governor's office, Wu Changqing received a secret report from Wang Dayong.

Wu Changqing didn't care too much about Wang Dayong and Liu Hansan's arbitrarily fighting Fang Guoan, and their eastward offensive to occupy Huzhou.

He is now anxious to create more contradictions with the court. It is best if the contradictions are irreconcilable, and then he can have a reason to send troops to the south to occupy all the territory of King Lu.

If he doesn't control King Lu's territory, he is always a little worried about the Northern Expedition.

After all, Hangzhou is too close to Suzhou and Songjiang. Once King Lu sneaks into his rear, he will be attacked by the enemy.

Although he will not fail completely because of a sneak attack, the fall of Suzhou and Songjiang will definitely hurt him.

There is his big rear, the most important economic zone, and there are a lot of scientific and technological secrets.

Once those things are obtained by the enemy, it is also a lot of trouble for him.

And he couldn't put too much force in the Wusong area, there were too many places to garrison. And the pressure of raising the army is great, and he cannot expand the army without limit.

"Acting by chance."

Wu Changqing gave a brief instruction to let Wang Dayong and the others realize it by themselves.

He can't speak too bluntly and leave words to others.

Although it is not a big deal to be caught, Wu Changqing still wants to retain a good reputation as much as possible.

Given a simple instruction, Wu Changqing put the matter aside.

Nowadays he has to deal with many things every day, and it is only a small matter for him to have a bad relationship with Fang Guoan.

He is now studying how to reform the official system and improve administrative efficiency.

The official system of the Ming Dynasty was a cabinet of six ministries, the cabinet was a decision-making body, and six ministries were used for specific matters.

The staff department is in charge of personnel affairs and is responsible for the evaluation, appointment and removal of officials. It is the department with the greatest power.

The emperor knows everything every day, and it is difficult to personally appoint officials below the third rank, and it is also difficult for the emperor to understand the official appointments below the third rank. Therefore, the appointment of these officials is determined by the officials.

Those who want to be promoted, naturally have to please the officials.

Even if it is a third-rank or higher official, when the emperor is appointed, he needs to adopt the suggestions of the officials to a certain extent.

This department controls the future of most officials, and its power can be imagined.

It is very normal for a third-grade engineering assistant to please a five-grade official assistant.

The second most powerful person is the household department. They are in charge of household registration, civil affairs, land resources, finances and taxes, etc., and they manage a lot of things.

But now Wu Changqing’s tax authority in the household department was stripped out by Wu Changqing, and a separate tax department was established.

In this year, if there is money, there are soldiers, and if there are soldiers, there is power. Therefore, the power to collect taxes is very important. Wu Changqing arranged for his clan uncle Wu Youdao to be personally responsible.

He didn't feel relieved to give this position to Gu Yanwu. In case Gu Yanwu had a heart to the court and falsified the account to send the collected taxes to Zhu Yihai, he would vomit blood.

Because Wu Changqing can't do everything personally, the person in charge of tax collection still has many methods to make false accounts.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the military, which seems to be very important. But in fact, this war department only manages logistics, recruitment and training. The main army is in the hands of Wu Changqing, and the Ministry of War has no power to command.

Therefore, in terms of importance, it is far lower than that of officials and households.

The Ministry of Etiquette is responsible for enlightenment, education, and ritual sacrifices, and it is also a relatively important department.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice holds the power of arrest, prosecution, trial, and legislation, which seems to be very large. But in actual operation, most of these powers will be divided by other departments and the cabinet.

Therefore, the power of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is actually relatively small, only slightly greater than that of the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Industry was the worst, it was just a technical department, and its presence in the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty was very weak.

However, in Wu Changqing's jurisdiction, the power of the Ministry of Industry is very large, because the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the manufacture of advanced weapons and holds a large number of military secrets.

The six-part system has been used for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is a fairly mature and complete system. But from the perspective of Wu Changqing's later generations, this system has fallen behind.

For example, in his eyes, a very important business does not have a dedicated department to manage it. This is very unreasonable and will breed many problems.

It is quite unreliable to rely solely on private chambers of commerce. The Chamber of Commerce only considers the interests of businessmen, how could it take the court into consideration.

Not only there is no Ministry of Commerce, but not even the Ministry of Agriculture.

It seems that in history books, you can often see words such as emphasizing agriculture and restraining business, but in fact, the government pays very little attention to agriculture in this era.

The biggest thing is to build a little water conservancy project.

Few people even figure out what more advanced tools like pear rake, let alone select good varieties.

Agriculture in this era is actually very inefficient. Coupled with land annexation, hundreds of people have become tenants.

At least, Wu Changqing did not see any traces of ‘heavy agriculture’.

In short, in Wu Changqing's view, the current administrative system is very backward, with many drawbacks, and many areas need to be reformed.

Of course, this kind of reform cannot be pushed back all at once, because it will have too much impact. Too radical has made it self-defeating. How many reforms in history have died out because of being too radical.

Wu Changqing is going to use warm water to boil the frog and change it little by little.

The first is to separate the power of collecting taxes from the Ministry of Households, and secondly, to make the Ministry of Criminal Justice independent and not allow other departments to interfere with it. This can reduce many officials' protections.

When many officials have committed a crime, the Department of Criminal Justice is about to convict, and the department to which the official belongs will use its power to intervene, making it difficult for the Department of Criminal Affairs to do its work.

In the new plan formulated by Wu Changqing, the Criminal Department went out independently, and other departments were not allowed to intervene in the work of the Criminal Department. At the same time, the appointment and dismissal of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is determined internally by them, and the Ministry of Officials does not allow interference.

In this way, it is possible to prevent the officials from relying on their influence to place some of their own people in the criminal ministry.

But in this way, the Ministry of Penalty will form its own system, and the power will be too great, and it will easily become lawless. Therefore, Wu Changqing divided the Criminal Department into three divisions. Legislative Department, Trial Department, Law Enforcement Department.

If the powers of arrest, trial, and legislation are not divided, then only the Ministry of Criminal Affairs can know the truth of a case, which is obviously impossible.

Wu Changqing didn't know much about the separation of powers, but he also knew that referees and athletes should be separated, and sports should not be used as referees at the same time, so that others would not have to play.

Managing a political power is a very complicated matter. Now Wu Changqing has a deep understanding of it.

He was already relatively lazy, and left a lot of things to the officials below to deal with, but he was still full of things to do every day.

He can already understand why the workaholic Zhu Yuanzhang has to work more than ten hours a day.

Wu Changqing did not have the tendency to be abused. Apart from the army and the power to collect taxes, he was firmly in his hands. He had lost all other powers to others.

Anyway, as long as these two powers are in their hands, other people can't be demon, can't turn the sky.
