"In the future, at the meeting of the Zhongshu Sect, can the Privy Envoy and the Deputy Privy Envoy attend as observers?"
Li Shimin asked again.
"Absolutely."
Attending a meeting as an observer is still different from attending a meeting.
It's okay to attend.
Only the prime minister under the Zhongshu sect has the right to attend the meeting under the Zhongshu sect and has the right to speak and vote, but the privy envoy who attends the meeting as an observer only has the right to speak.
They do not have the right to vote on any resolution of the meeting under the Zhongshu Gate.
"The prince's East Palace guards rate, do you want to cancel it too?"
asked Li Shimin again.
The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty has his own guard and lead the troops, imitating the imperial court guards, and he even has his own guard.
But now, Li Chao proposed that in addition to keeping his own guards, the rest of the guards were directly removed, and he no longer had his own Zhichong Mansion soldiers.
The crown prince has an army, and there is no need for it.
Although the crown prince was his future son-in-law, Li Chao still insisted on dismantling the guards of the East Palace.
"Okay, then the guards of the East Palace will also retreat."
As a result, the ten guards of the East Palace were withdrawn.
Not only was the Zhechong Mansion, which was subordinate to the East Palace, transferred to the other guards of the South Palace, but the original official positions of the East Palace were also removed.
After sorting out the army, Li Shimin felt a sense of relief in his heart, the army, the sharpest sword, was now inserted into the scabbard.
After Li surpassed Ren Shangshuling, the first thing he did was a comprehensive census.
However, there are 18 provinces in Datang and more than 300 states, and it is not easy to complete this huge data survey.
Official documents of Shangshu Province were distributed to all provinces, prefectures, and counties.
After receiving the official documents, all prefectures and counties must select a group of scholars to send them to the Beijing Division, where they will first be trained as census takers.
After completing the training, they will return to the counties and districts to conduct on-the-spot censuses.
Some people don't understand Li Chao's approach very well, it's just a big rope to read, is it used like this, directly send the official document to the locality, and the local state and county will naturally complete the task.
But Li Chao doesn't understand it this way.
It is one thing whether the local authorities can understand whether they can do it in place, and it is another thing whether they can really achieve an accurate census after they understand it.
This census is the fundamental foundation for Li Chao to come to power and administer the country.
If the data is not accurate, it will not be possible to formulate policies that are accurate and appropriate.
Selecting people from the local government for training is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it can increase the accuracy of the census.
And Li Chao's move also has another deep meaning.
"There is another meaning" Hubu Shangshu Ma Zhou chewed on the root of the folded ear and asked curiously.
The root of the folded ear is very fishy, also known as Houttuynia cordata, ordinary people are not used to eating this taste, but the people in Shu love this taste very much.
Many Shu people like it, and Li Chao can't accept this taste, but Ma Zhou, who is a native of the Central Plains, surprisingly likes it.
He especially likes to eat Li Chao's cold salad with folded ear roots, plus some braised pig's head meat, and some wine, Ma Zhouneng is the same as the New Year.
Ma Zhou, who has now become the prime minister of the dynasty, can be regarded as young and promising, and I don't know how many wealthy families want to snatch Ma Zhou into the house as a son-in-law.
But Ma Zhou is still single, and according to what he said to Li Chao, fate has not arrived.
Li Chao doesn't understand what fate means, is it the poison of the legendary story he wrote in Ma Zhou, and he feels that it is difficult to find a favorite girl Li Chao, even if he becomes the prime minister, he generally can't see other people's daughters, unless it is a woman from an ordinary family, he will show up and do things outside.
But Li Chao felt that Ma Zhou didn't look down on ordinary women, not that he looked down on ordinary girls, but Ma Zhou was the prime minister and a scholar, well-informed, and generally uninformed ordinary village girls, who neither saw nor spoke, nor could they dress up, he would look at it "Datang is such a big empire, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, more than 1,000 counties in 18 provinces and more than 300 states in the world.
Although the census has not yet begun, I estimate that there are at least 8 million or even 10 million households in Datang, with a population of 50 or 60 million.
If you think about it, with such a population and such a large empire, the only thing the imperial court can rely on is the appointed officials. ” Li Chao said as he grabbed a pair of chopsticks and cold ear silk.
This one is much better than the folded ear root, although he won't eat too much.
"Instead of talking about the state level, let's talk about one county.
If you say that a county has a population of nearly 1,000 households, it has 4,000 households.
Even if it is counted as 10,000 households, that is a population of 50,000 or 60,000.
But in such a large county, how many officials are appointed by the imperial court?"
"The county order, the county clerk, the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant.

There are only four officials and four people with rank.
Li Chao stretched out four fingers, a county with at least 1,000 households and a population of five or six thousand, and only four high-grade officials.
There are several types of counties, such as Jing County, Shang County, Zhong County, Xia Zhong County, Xia County, etc., regardless of the number of households in Jing County, there must be more than 5,000 households in the upper county, more than 1,000 households in the middle and lower counties, and less than 1,000 households in the lower counties.
A county order in Beijing is the fifth product, and the county order is from the seventh product.
There are only four high-ranking officials in Jingxian and Xiaxian counties, and the four of them govern a county, and they also pay attention to the imperial power and the county orders do not go to the countryside.
In addition, a county official is evaluated once every three years, and his term of office often does not exceed three terms, and according to the files that Li Chao has reviewed, most officials below the eighth grade are basically transferred after only one term.
Therefore, it can be said that in fact, these county-level officials sent to the county often leave without even figuring out the details below.
They govern the localities, or rather manage the localities, but they still rely entirely on the officials.
There are about 50 officials in a Jing county, and at least 30 in a lower county.
The officials at the county level are about the clerks, the secretary of the household, the judicial assistant, the history, the account history, the prison, the city order, the assistant, the cang, the doctor, the assistant teacher, the questioner, the white straight, and so on.
The number of officials varies depending on the rank of the county.
However, Li Chao is a person who has traveled through time after all, and he knows very well that in ancient China, in fact, in ancient China, the number of officials was small, but the number of officials was large, and there was a common feature, that is, the actual number of officials was far greater than on the surface.
There is also a sentence, the mobile officials beat the iron officials.
The officials are all low-level officials, but the officials are from a family.
Although the officials in a place are inconspicuous, and even many dynasties list the officials in the ranks of thieves who cannot take the imperial examination, but the power of these people in the local area must not be underestimated.
Even many county orders have been set aside by these people.
There are townships in Datang County, and there are miles in the countryside.
A county has four to ten townships, and there are elderly people in the township, and there are people in the village, and the village has a good material.
In the county, below the level of officials, the record is generally the head, and then the Sihu Zuo and the Judicial Zuo, one is in charge of household registration and the other is in charge of justice.
There are also the wardens, city ordinances, warehouse governors, and account records, which are responsible for the prison, the market, the warehouse, and the account books.
In addition, there will be doctors and teaching assistants, who will be responsible for school education in the county. t1706231537:
