In the palace of the secretary of Han Guocheng, Tang Zhe's county guard was changed to secretary, and the name of this residence naturally had to be changed. The reception banquet has ended, and there is not too much luxury, after all, I came to Goguryeo to do things, not to enjoy.

At this moment, Yuan Chang, the biggest boss, is here, and the main position is naturally reserved for Yuan Chang, and Dian Wei, as the head of the bodyguard, of course, follows Yuan Chang at all times, standing behind him to guard; Guo Jia sits on the left side of the head, although Guo Jia's position in Youzhou is not very conspicuous, but as long as he is in Youzhou, there is no one who does not know Guo Jia's status. In other words, in addition to Yuan Chang, the highest status in Youzhou is undoubtedly Guo Jia, of course, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Han Sui, the earliest veterans who followed Yuan Chang, will not be better than Guo Jiadi in status. It's just that, in terms of responsibilities, Guo Jia's importance is self-evident. is like Zhuge Liang in history, in terms of identity, compared with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's sworn brothers, Zhuge Liang is inferior. However, in terms of duties, Zhuge Liang's status is much higher than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so after Zhang Fei insulted Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei will make Zhang Fei apologize, which is the reason.

Sitting on the other side was Tang Zhe, the secretary of Han Guocheng. In addition to Tang Zhe, among this group of people, Yuan Chang asked him to select three other people to participate in this reform discussion. Obviously, the three of them didn't know at the moment that this would be an opportunity for them.

"Okay, let's get straight to the point. ”

Yuan Chang didn't have any nonsense, and said directly: "After the entire territory of Goguryeo is occupied, a new system will be tried out." First of all, the change of the state, county, county, and village system to the provincial, city, county, town, and village system is not understood by Secretary Tang.

"My subordinates don't know, and I ask the state pastor to solve my doubts!" Tang Zhe's attitude was very correct, and he didn't pretend to understand.

In this regard, Yuan Chang was naturally satisfied, not to mention that Tang Zhe didn't understand, even the chief strategist Guo Jia was at a loss, sitting and waiting for Yuan Chang to explain. If Tang Zhe dared to say that he understood at this moment, either this guy also crossed over like him, then Yuan Chang would naturally have a way to identify it; or, this guy just didn't know how to pretend to understand, then Yuan Chang would only give him three words - roll the calf. And it turns out that Tang Zhe is still very self-aware, and he doesn't dare to pretend to understand in front of Yuan Chang.

"Hmm!"

Yuan Chang nodded, then looked at the other three, and said lightly: "What I said next, the three of you should also remember that the huge Goguryeo cannot be managed by Tang Zhe alone, and you should not have any slack thoughts." You are the first people in contact with reform, or you are the first people in the world. If you can do it well, there are still a lot of places in the Central Plains that need you, and it will not be a problem to be famous for eternity at that time. ”

"Yes, we will remember the instructions of the state pastor!"

The other three stood up and saluted solemnly, with a deep sense of apprehension and excitement in their hearts. Although Yuan Chang didn't say it very bluntly to reuse them, the meaning of the words was already very clear. Now that the reform has been done, the Central Plains will do the same in the future. At that time, several of them will be the pioneers of reform, and the reformers will also need them to teach, and their hearts tremble when they think about such a picture of peach and plum all over the world.

"Okay, calm down, I'll give you a detailed explanation, and it's up to you to explain it in the future. ”

Yuan Chang's light voice was extremely majestic, and Tang Zhe and the others naturally sat upright, not daring to relax in the slightest. Guo Jia on the side also concentrated his attention, he knew that since Yuan Chang proposed it, the reform of Youzhou in the future was also imperative, if the world was unified, it would also be carried out according to such a reform, and as the chief strategist around Yuan Chang, he naturally wanted to have an in-depth understanding of the details of the reform.

"Nowadays, the system of states, counties, counties and villages is practiced, and there is no difference between counties and villages. However, the states and counties are too large and too difficult to govern. Take Youzhou as an example, in my opinion, it is too huge, how much energy can be taken into account by a state pastor, according to my opinion, Youzhou can be divided into three provinces. ”

As soon as Yuan Chang said this, everyone present understood what Yuan Chang meant.

In fact, as Yuan Chang said, the scope of a state is too large, and the energy of a normal state pastor cannot be taken into account at all. Therefore, the senior officials of the past dynasties are either lax and lazy, and can take care of the management, and those who can't be taken into account should not be seen, and this kind of official belongs to the type of passable and passable, and it is not easy to get into trouble; or they do nothing directly, of course, if they do this, under the emperor who is honest and strict, they must consider the matter of losing their heads; of course, there is the last kind of officials who are dedicated to their work, and this kind of officials are often too attentive, so that they have a short life. As for the practices of these three officials, there are naturally both advantages and disadvantages, so I will not say more. However, Yuan Chang's current approach is the most direct, solving all this from the root, dividing the territory of the state, and the scope of management has become smaller.

Therefore, now Goguryeo is used as a pilot and Goguryeo is classified as Jilin Province. Under the province is the city, according to the size of the province's jurisdiction, it is divided into cities, and the city is divided into counties, counties and towns, and towns and villages. As an official at the provincial level, he can meddle in the affairs of officials at the city level, but cannot interfere in the affairs of the districts below the county level. Such a step-by-step approach can reduce the burden on officials at the provincial level and bring the link between the upper and lower levels closer. Today's Goguryeo is also slightly smaller at the provincial level, and can be expanded slightly. ”

Obviously, Yuan Chang's meaning is very clear, after Goguryeo was renamed Jilin Province, the jurisdiction was small, and Tang Zhe wanted to continue the road of expansion, as for the direction, of course, it was to expand to the north. And to the south is Lelang County, according to Yuan Chang's intentions, it will also be reformed in the future, and the matter of expansion is naturally the matter of the successor in the future, and it has little to do with Tang Zhe.

"Goguryeo has a small population, and most of the villages are not very populous, which is not conducive to management. Therefore, Tang Zhe, after you start the reform, you must first unify the population together, and then divide the number of cities according to the number of population, and then how many cities will be divided according to the situation. By the way, what's the name of the three of you?"

"Qiyu Prefecture Mu, subordinate Wang Yuan!"

"Subordinate Li Kuo!"

"Subordinate Song Xing!"

Hearing Yuan Chang ask his name, the three of them hurriedly got up and respectfully reported their names. Yuan often had to write down their names, which was obviously a good thing for them.
