Chapter 89: Make Wu recover Zhenyuan
"Check." Gongsun Jian said fiercely: "Send someone to call Huang Wenyuan, Cao Liang and Hu Tianyi here for me." But be careful not to leak the rumors for the time being. ”
Soon, it took only two days to figure out what was going on. The general situation is similar to what Ma Teng inquired about, and the local magistrate is not bad as an official, and there is no evil behavior such as corruption and bribery. The management of the territory is also very good, but this county magistrate is a poor son who has been bullied by a rich family since he was a child. Therefore, after becoming an official under Gongsun Jian, he felt the benefits of the new policy for the poor people. In addition, he hated those rich people in his heart, so he was particularly harsh on those rich people in his territory. Even wealthy households who bought or handed over their land under the New Deal are still reluctant to let it go easily. Therefore, they have repeatedly sought trouble with them.
Just this time, taking advantage of the rebellion between Xungui and the family, he was ready to rectify these rich families in his territory. However, his so-called rectification is also within the rules. But the people below are different, most of them are also from poor families, and they don't have a good impression of the rich. Coupled with the attitude of the county master, he took advantage of the opportunity to make a little profit. Even if it were true that these rich men were killed, there would be no one among the people to speak well for them. When the time comes, you can fool around with a hat very casually.
After figuring out the reason for the matter, Gongsun Jian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back. All this in front of him reminded him of an era that he had never experienced but knew a lot about. It's not terrible whether it's left or right, it's overkill that is terrible!
Another day later, Huang Wenyuan, Cao Liang and Hu Tianyi all hurried here. Along the way, they were also speculating about what caused Gongsun Jianhui to suddenly let them come in such a hurry. After knowing the reason, I couldn't help but be surprised.
It's not a big question, but it's not too small. Gongsun Jian, who had been calming down carefully for a few days, did not make a decision on the spot. Instead, he returned to Linshui County with a heart, but on the second day of his return, he ordered all officials above the prefect to put down their affairs and come to the meeting, and this meeting was not only for officials from all over the country. Gongsun Jian also invited some famous squires from all over the country to participate through the old lady of the Cao family and many elders under his rule.
Now everyone understands that Gongsun Jian is really a little angry.
Gongsun Jian's anger was actually partly directed at himself. In many cases, it may be because of not thinking carefully enough, or because I don't have much experience, and everything is still crossing the river by feeling the stones. But there are some things that he should still think about in front.
In this regard, Feng Huaidao and Shi Fangheng persuaded Gongsun Jian. There is no one in the world who is born to know, and no one is perfect. It's like your policy, but you still need someone to implement it. And the quality of the executor can vary greatly. Therefore, don't stop yourself from taking the responsibility on yourself, fortunately, the time to run this territory is not long, and if you find a problem, you will solve it, and in the future, you will do more detailed work in all aspects, and the two of us are also wrong.
I have to say that the level of Feng Huaidao and Shi Fangheng is indeed very high. After a few words, Gongsun Jian's heart knot was opened. At this time, Gongsun Jian also thought of the necessity of supervision, as well as the governance and ideological work of the yamen at all levels.
Don't talk nonsense, let's have a meeting first and explain things clearly on the table. Then we will discuss behind closed doors how to solve this problem in the future.
Hu Tianyi and Huang Wenyuan, who were in charge of publicity and supervision of this incident, could not escape their responsibilities. However, Gongsun Jian did not pursue it, after all, the two of them are also serious about their work, and the task of the Security Department is to monitor those possible internal hidden dangers rather than supervise how officials govern. And Huang Wenyuan's focus has always been on the military, culture, education and health. Therefore, Gongsun Jian made up his mind this time to set up a supervision department for all levels of local and even the central government of his palace, and also to set up a non-governmental supervision agency. However, the organization is easy to manage, and the selection of the person in charge is difficult.
For a long time, the biggest headache under Gongsun Jian was the lack of talent. The previous recruitment seemed to be effective, but in fact, it was some second- and third-rate people, but unfortunately Gongsun Jian had no choice, so he could only rush to catch the ducks on the shelves with a little training, and many times he was groping for it.
But now it's different from the past, as there are more and more territories under Gongsun Jian's hands, and there are more and more places that need to be employed. Otherwise, in the long run, the whole system may be paralyzed one day.
Gongsun Jian and several cabinet ministers under him did not have a good way to deal with this, after all, reading and knowledge in this era were in the hands of those families, and these people were precisely the targets of Gongsun Jian's attack. How can people help you to harm your own family?
After discussing for a long time, Gongsun Jian ordered to start recruiting talents, without restrictions on academic qualifications, of course, there is no such thing as academic qualifications at this time, the most important thing is that there are no restrictions on origin and country. In addition, the parliamentary house that he and the old lady of the Cao family said at the beginning should also be set up as soon as possible. One is to win over those local squires and famous elders, and the other is to give the people the opportunity to participate in politics, and the most important thing is to supervise the daily work of local yamen at all levels.
From the very beginning of the raising of the House of Representatives, it has attracted a lot of attention. Especially some of the wealthy squires who originally had some industries in the local area, and now handed over their fields and belonged to the rule of Gongsun Jian. For them, after paying such heavy losses, if they can get official recognition, it can also be said to be an exchange of benefits. Although Gongsun Jian intended to do the same in principle, he did not do so in view of the impartiality of the department in the future.
At the beginning, Gongsun Jian's plan was to gather these people to give them something to do, to supervise the functions and efficiency of the government, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was a pension institution, and they had nothing to do. In particular, it is given an officially recognized identity, so that these people have a certain sense of belonging and facilitate internal stability.
But the situation is different now, Gongsun Jian doesn't want this department to become an ornament, but is more involved in practical matters, so he won't give these guys the opportunity to fill up the numbers.
After a long time of secret discussion, Gongsun Jian decided to divide the ranks according to different classes and compositions, and allocate different seats of deputies to the House of Representatives. For example, for the old lady of the Cao family, the proportion of the rich and wealthy family in the past is no more than 20 percent, and the rest come from all walks of life, such as local old farmers, merchants, craftsmen, etc., and even women representatives also account for a certain proportion.
Each county under Gongsun Jian's rule had to form such a council to supervise the work of the local yamen. It is possible to examine the annual expenditure of the yamen, as well as the cost of various constructions, and even the prison. Among the representatives of each county, the representatives of the prefecture shall elect or recommend the representatives of the prefecture to form the council at the prefecture level. By analogy, even the central and central departments of the royal palace must finally have the parliamentary yuan to participate in supervision.
Of course, the House of Representatives only has supervisory authority, but no administrative authority. This point must be clearly distinguished, otherwise the yamen at all levels must not be confused, and as for the disagreements and problems discovered, they can directly report to the supervision department at the next higher level or to the supervision department that will be established soon, and naturally someone will investigate and handle these matters.
In this way, the local yamen at all levels have been supervised, and they do not have to spend too much manpower and material resources, and people from all walks of life have the opportunity to participate in politics. Of course, Gongsun Jian also announced an order at the same time, that is, when electing members of the House of Representatives, all localities must be open, fair and fair, and it is strictly forbidden to engage in deception and favoritism, and once it is found out, it will not be spared.
In fact, this is also a law of the development of things, and any new thing always needs a time and process of growth, and any problems that arise in this process are understandable and forgivable. After all, true knowledge can only be achieved in practice.
Gongsun Jian's interior was busy, and the exterior was also changing at this time. According to the news sent back by the Intelligence Department, Zhao State in the north of Qi State couldn't help but be the first to end, and sent troops to attack Qi State in the name of supporting the four princes of Qi State.
The biological mother of the four princes of Qi is the princess of Zhao, and it just so happens that the four princes did not know why their biological mother hung up inexplicably in the process of seizing the heir, so the emperor of Zhao, who was his maternal uncle, was furious and used this as an excuse to send troops to Qi and vowed to seek justice for his nephew. So the war between Qi and Zhao inevitably broke out.
As soon as Zhao Guo came to the scene, the situation suddenly became chaotic. At this time, the Qi State is not weaker than the Zhao State, don't look at the Qi State and the Zhou State for so many years and have not taken advantage of the war, but the strength of the people themselves is not weak. And now it's just a little bit of internal inconsistency. But as soon as Zhao sent troops, the forces that were originally hostile to each other immediately united and unanimously aimed their guns at Zhao State.
According to Gongsun Jian's experience, in this case, whoever is the first to end often cannot take the biggest advantage, but is likely to lose more than he loses in the end. Therefore, Gongsun Jian was waiting for the opportunity while preparing for the battle.
But who would have thought that Wu Guo would also make a move against Qi Guo then. This greatly surprised Gongsun Jian. With his understanding of Emperor Wu, that is a guy who will never make a move if he is not cheap, is it possible that the current Qi State is really so bad?
But although there was news that came to mess up Gongsun Jian's plan, because Zhou Guo also sent troops.
At this time, Gongsun Jian felt a little puzzled completely. Could it be that there is a problem with their own intelligence system, or is it that several companies have secretly united a long time ago, but they have not informed themselves. Gongsun Jian's side had already reached an agreement with the Great City of Wu, and the two families jointly sent troops to attack the Qi State. Now that the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Wuyue and Yue have sent troops to Qi State, it is obvious that they are not ready to take Gongsun Sword to play.
Gongsun Jian felt extremely angry about this, and Shi Fangheng's words immediately solved the mystery in Gongsun Jian's heart. Everyone is a decent country, and he is a guy who can be called a chaotic minister and thief, and it is impossible for the emperor of any family to like to play happily with people like himself.
Nai's yes, since everyone looks down on me and doesn't play with me, it doesn't matter, let's play our own and play our own, and it's the kind of play that destroys other people's play.
Immediately, the large army in Gongsun Jian's territory was divided into two routes, one route four field divisions went out of the town and Yuanguan soldiers pointed directly at the border of Wu State, and the other road was led by Gongsun Jian himself, composed of a special combat brigade and a rapid support division plus a field division, which penetrated to the rear of the battlefield of the Zhou State and the Qi State through the North Road of Zhou State, ready to fight at any time.
At this moment, the battlefield situation in Qi changed immediately. In addition to the north, he is still fighting with Zhao Guo to the death. Both the south and the west have stagnated. The reason is very simple, because Gongsun Jian sent troops to the border with each other, he was afraid that Gongsun Jian would attack the territory of Wu at any time, so the troops who fought deep into the internal Qi State were worried that the back road would be cut off, so they did not dare to continue the attack. And in the south, because of Gongsun Jian's intervention, the two sides ceased fighting each other. Although Gongsun Jian didn't fight a single battle, he didn't even say a word. However, it poses a threat to all parties on the battlefield. Especially in the southern battlefield of Qi State, Gongsun Jian led his troops to stare at the warring sides from a distance of less than five miles. It was unclear to both sides of his intentions, and they didn't know which side of the team he was.
