The focus of local official system reform is to separate judicial power and supervisory power and to elect Guangluyuan at all levels.

It is easy to separate judicial power and supervisory power. After all, the supervision structure at all levels is divided into two departments. After dividing it into two departments, laws can be formulated to stabilize the powers and operation methods of the two institutions. As for the two departments, there are some bumps or broken connections, there is no need to pay attention to it at present, and it can be adjusted slowly in the future.

The election of Guanglu Academy at all levels seems very chaotic and extremely popular, and it consumes most of Lin Chunhong's energy.

According to the relevant laws of Guanglu Court, the composition of county-level Guanglu Court is three parts: county government office designated by scholars and merchants, each of which accounts for one-third of the quota, and is called Guanglu Temple.

However, when the Guanglu Shi was promoted to Guanglu Zuolang, there was no limit to one-third. All the people competed for Guanglu Zuolang's quota based on their own abilities and lofty reputation.

Generally speaking, the candidates designated by the county government include military martyrs, professionals, talented people who can truly make suggestions for the construction of the county, etc. These people are generally attached to the county government and have not had a high reputation among the people.

It can be foreseen that these people have very obvious disadvantages when competing for Koro Saro.

On the other hand, merchant groups have joined forces through associations and other organizations, first electing competitive candidates internally to avoid killing each other. In addition, they have strong financial strength and have recently invested a large amount of money to people's livelihood, which has been unanimously praised by the people.

This is their advantage, but merchants have always been despised and their disadvantages are obvious.

Compared with merchant groups, because the people deeply believe that "everything is inferior but only high in reading", the reputation of people with fame is quite high.

However, there are bad brushes of scholars who are fame and famous, and they are not convinced by each other and their unity is far less than that of merchant groups. They cannot even recommend competitors first.

For example, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Du Yinxi and other knowledgeable people were determined to limit the Jingzhou group that was always free from reins through Guangluyuan. They held high expectations for Guangluyuan. They saw that the people of fame were noble and internal strife, and they were very anxious.

They gathered together to discuss and decided to persuade the Guanglushi scholars to abandon their prejudices and point their fingers at upstarts and merchants through their old friends all over the country.

Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others' work was effective, and the fame gradually recovered the decline and began to conquer the city and land.

...

After a series of struggles, countless exchanges of interests occurred during this period and countless violations of the law occurred. The Guanglu Dafu was finally born, and the highest Guanglu Academy was established in Yangzhou.

Since the Guanglu Yuan was an institution recognized by the Ming Dynasty, a group of retired senior officials had no taboos about participating in the Guanglu Yuan. With their lofty reputation and qualifications, they eventually became Guanglu doctors easily.

There are 562 Guanglu officials all over the country, of which 298 are occupied by fame and honor, and the rest are occupied by merchants and other personnel.

Big bosses such as Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Du Yinxi, Huang Daozhou, etc. are all listed. The rest are Zheng Cai, Zheng Hongkui, Hong Qiyun, Zhang Desheng, Zheng Mengfan, Jia Siyi, and Wang Dajun. They are also among them.

Lin Chunhong was a little amused when he saw this quota.

The composition of Guanglu Dafu reflects the power comparison well. The power of merchants is far less than that of the scholar-official class. As for professionals such as investigating things, laws, and economics, it is basically difficult for them to stand out.

However, this is related to the fact that most professionals work in major institutions. The relevant laws of the Guanglu Court stipulate that people with official positions are not allowed to enter the Guanglu Court.

Lin Chunhong didn't care that the scholars and officials had a clear advantage in the Guanglu Academy. At best, the Guanglu Academy was just an advisory institution and had a little meaning of civil supervision, which was still far from the real power. Even if the Guanglu Academy was occupied by the scholars and officials, it had little impact on the administrative, judicial, and supervision powers of Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is in full swing, and Tianjin is not inferior at all.

On the surface, Lin Chunhong ignored Tianjin. In fact, when Wang Dajun arrived in Tianjin, some smart businessmen immediately reacted that Wang Dajun was Lin Chunhong's personal representative.

Wang Dajun himself had a very high reputation, and the merchants united around him. Wang Dajun suggested that the detained Tianjin local officials be released immediately, which was unanimously agreed by the merchants.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Dajun secretly gathered up a group of murderous warriors and brought in a large number of weapons. Merchants speculated that these warriors were officers of the Jingzhou Army at all, and their weapons also originated from Jingzhou.

The businessmen were in high spirits. Under the organization of Wang Dajun, a temporary committee was established, with Wang Dajun as the chairman, responsible for the civil affairs and military affairs of Tianjin Acropolis.

Tianjin's management has become formal and order has been quickly restored.

Today, although the merchants in Tianjin have been rebelled, they are still in a state of chaos to achieve what they want to play with the imperial court. If Wang Dajun doesn't come, I'm afraid these merchants will have no other possibility except being wiped out by the Ji Liao Legion.

Before Wang Dajun set off, he was brought to the death by Lin Chunhong'er for several hours, so of course he knew what to do.

Wang Dajun discussed with the members of the temporary committee for several days and finally decided to send personnel to contact the court, and the two sides negotiated on the future of Tianjin.

Contact with the court was a difficult problem. Wang Dajun thought about it and thought of Yang Sichang. He immediately sent someone to contact Yang Sichang, hoping that Yang Sichang would be the middleman to speak on his behalf.

Yang Sichang was very surprised by the people coming to Tianjin, but out of a responsible attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, he passed on Tianjin's request to the court.

Tianjin proposed that the court must agree to Tianjin’s restructuring in accordance with Shanghai; the court cannot hold merchants accountable. At the same time, merchants in Tianjin pay taxes in accordance with the reformed rules.

How could Zhu Youjian and Zhou Yanru accept such conditions? They directly warned Tianjin through the magistrate of Baodi County: put down their weapons, surrender immediately, and only the evil ones will be punished, and the rest will not be investigated.

Tianjin naturally could not accept such conditions. Under the organization of the temporary committee, it began to sharpen the repair of the city walls, improve the defense system, and prepare to welcome the attack of the Ji Liao Legion.

At the same time, Tianjin's temporary committee strengthened the public opinion offensive, frequently published articles in major newspapers, listing the harm of the door cards one by one, and even listing which masters received huge benefits in the middle.

This is not over. Wang Dajun fully utilized the advantages of merchants' proficiency in calculations. After estimating the scale of Tianjin's tax base, he compared the possible profits that the court may get before and after the reform. He concluded that the money and grain obtained by the court would far exceed that before the reform.

Such remarks are naturally regarded as witches by the court. However, in dealing with such witches, the court has a natural disadvantage. The Ming Dynasty court cannot publicly argue with the thieves, right?

What's more, the remarks published in Tianjin are detailed and have sufficient arguments. It is really difficult to refute them.

Tianjin suddenly became the focus of national attention.

The Qing Dynasty court has been staring at the movements in the south. Huang Taiji naturally knew that such a big thing happened in Tianjin.

In fact, Huang Taiji knew it earlier than Lin Chunhong.

At first, Huang Taiji stripped his silk and judged that this incident had nothing to do with Lin Chunhong and was purely a civil strife in the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji was very excited and immediately came up with the idea of ​​sending troops to plunder the Ming Dynasty and taking the opportunity to make a vote.

The Qing Dynasty's small court has been very sad in recent years.

As the scale of Nanfen's iron smelting became larger and larger, the small Qing court temporarily got rid of the lack of steel and the army's equipment reached a higher level.

However, mining occupied a lot of labor, and the Qing Dynasty had always lacked food and was facing the danger of food being cut off at all times. Huang Taiji had to accelerate reforms, seized all the coats from relatives, allocated land, and allowed them to produce grain. Later, Huang Taiji even ordered some people wearing armor to remove their armor and return to their fields to engage in production.

With the opening of trade, merchants from the south poured into Lushun like a tide, bringing exquisite silk, porcelain and other handicrafts as well as tea, books, cotton, wool textiles and other essential products. The exchange products that the Qing Dynasty could produce were very limited. Except for iron, Dongzhu, ginseng, animal meat, wool, etc., the rest of the goods were extremely limited.

The Qing aristocrats desperately chased the luxury goods transported from the south and quickly fell into a life of extravagance. Also, fighting to the death is not just for enjoyment?

The hard currency such as silver and gold was quickly lost. Although the Qing Dynasty made a lot of profits by controlling trade, the entire Liaodong was in a dilemma of lacking hard currency such as gold and silver.

The inevitable consequence of the lack of hard currency is market depression and tax revenue.

Huang Taiji had to find a way to get food, gold, silver and population from other places! Isn’t the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty the best opportunity?

Just as Huang Taiji was preparing to go south and was about to wait for an opportunity to go south, he received news that Wang Dajun organized the overall situation in Tianjin and began negotiations with the court. Huang Taiji understood that Lin Chunhong had secretly interfered in Tianjin affairs and was likely to have a fierce collision with the court.

Huang Taiji was even more excited and prepared to rob him even more.

Just as the entire Qing Dynasty was in a state of fanaticism, Huang Taiji suddenly received emergency military information: the main force of the Jinwu Army stationed on Jeju Island arrived at Lushun Port by boat, Zheng Fulin ordered the army to advance and took Fuzhou into his hands, vaguely threatening Gaizhou.

At the same time, although Zhang Fengyi in the west led the cavalry and infantry and archers back to the four cities of Dongsheng, a group of servants were reluctant to leave, spreading their range of activities to Xilinger and Xilamulun River areas, plundering everywhere, vaguely threatening western Liaoning.

Lin Chunhong told Huang Taiji with practical actions that if the Qing court dared to make a difference, it would be attacked by two armies.

Huang Taiji was so angry that he thought about it that although the Jinwu Army advanced to Gaizhou, as long as he could send more than 10,000 heavy cavalry, he would be restrained. As for the threat from western Liaoning, Huang Taiji did not take it seriously at all.

He knew that Xuanfu was not in Lin Chunhong's hands, and Zhang Fengyi's Wuwei Army wanted to advance from the west, and the food and supplies and military supplies had to be provided from Shaanxi. The journey was almost thousands of miles away, and it was conceivable that the difficulty of transporting food and supplies and supplies was impossible to use large-scale troops.

What's more, Lin Chunhong and the court are constantly in trouble, and it is still a matter of whether they will try their best to rescue the court.

Huang Taiji thought deeply and decided to take the opportunity to make a vote.
