At present, among the major states controlled by Guo Peng, only Youzhou and Xuzhou still have relatively large local power.

The rest of the states have become subordinate institutions of Shangshutai in various senses, and are no longer in a state of siloed government at the beginning of the troubled times.

Guo Peng took back much of the power in these areas to the central government, and appointed additional supervision officials to restrain local forces and strengthen the authority of the central government.

The Xuzhou that has just arrived is also Guo Peng's own pastor in Xuzhou, and the situation in Youzhou is even more special, and it will be dealt with later.

Originally, government affairs were relatively busy, but now the war is together, and the logistics tasks are complicated.

Cheng Yu has already written two letters, hoping that Guo Peng can end this battle as soon as possible, although Shangshutai has been expanded and the manpower has increased greatly, but in this case, it is still not enough.

In order to make an emergency, even some officers were seconded to Shangshutai to run errands.

If this battle is not finished quickly, there will be a lot of supplies, but people will die of exhaustion first.

Guo Peng was also a little depressed, but he didn't expect that the first problem on his side was not food, but the officials.

It seemed that the number of officials was still insufficient, so Guo Peng decided to expand the number of officials and officials in Shangshutai again after the war, and then divide the responsibilities in detail, expand some new departments, and lay a solid foundation for a big government.

But although he said so, in Guo Peng's view, the Shangshutai of the Principality of Wei was the Shangshutai of the Wei Empire in the future, and it was the center of the country, and its importance was self-evident.

If you don't exercise this office hard now, so that it has a considerable ability to resist pressure, how can you take on a big responsibility in the future?

In the future, because the war will become less, there will be fewer government affairs, and officials will be idle, and Guo Peng will not give them many opportunities to be idle.

If you are idle, you will have a lot of thoughts that you shouldn't have, and when you are idle, you will start to fight, fight back and forth, and fight endlessly.

With my money, you must be ready to be ninety-nine-six or even zero-seven, and be ready to receive good fortune.

In my feudal centralized empire, do you still want to enjoy the eight-hour workday?

Are you kidding!

In this cannibalistic world, it is a great blessing to have a job to do and a fortune to take, what else do you want?

Paid time off?

Guo Peng sent messages back to Cheng Yu twice, asking Cheng Yu to learn to do things, learn to rest, and learn to make a detailed schedule of work and rest.

Do your best when you are doing things, and take a good rest when you rest.

Officials should move around less with each other, communicate with each other less and drink, and save time to do things for me!

Of course, don't be reluctant to hand things over to the people below to do, don't feel that you can't do things without yourself, if you are tired, who else can Guo Peng discuss big things with?

Guo Peng guessed that Cheng Yu's character must like to bow down to everything, and he will not relax his grip on power.

Guo Peng doesn't like this way of doing things, he has to catch what should be caught, and he has to let go of what should be released.

You, an imperial ruler, do you still have to ask ordinary people about the theft of a few copper coins? Are you Zhuge Kongming?

Guo Peng scolded Cheng Yu twice, Cheng Yu was honest and didn't send similar letters again, but saying that, Guo Peng also knew that Cheng Yu's side was indeed under a lot of pressure.

After thinking about it, Guo Peng decided to send twenty people from the clerks around him back to help Cheng Yu, and then let them supervise Cheng Yu instead of Guo Peng, and did not allow him to work for more than five hours a day.

It's rare to have a big talent from a poor family sitting with his ass, and it's not good to protect it, Guo Peng is really reluctant.

Speaking of talents from poor landlord families, not to mention, Guo Peng has also discovered and cultivated a lot over the years.

However, most of them are talents from one county, and few are talents from one county, let alone talents from one state or the central government.

However, during the period of marching, Zhao Yun recommended a talent to Guo Peng.

This person's name is Zhang Ji, the name is Derong, he is a native of Feng Yi Gaoling, born in the family of a poor landlord in the land of Sanfu, the family has money, but no status, so he is a county official in the place where Zhao Yun is stationed.

When there was no chaos in Chang'an, he made good political achievements and was rewarded, and when he was about to be promoted, the rebellion of Li Dao Guo Yan began, and the land of Sanfu was tragically poisoned.

Later, Chang'an suffered a great plague, nine out of ten people were killed, and the remaining one either fled to Liangzhou or Hanzhong, and Zhang Ji was among them, leading his hometown to flee in the direction of Liangzhou.

It was not until the Hongnong court was established and the plague disappeared that Zhang Jicai returned to Gaoling with the villagers and rebuilt his hometown in the ruins.

When Ma Teng Han then fought with Zhang Ji in Chang'an, Zhang Ji took the villagers to hide in the mountains, and when Zhao Yun led the army to Gaoling and came here on behalf of the Wei army, Zhang heard about Zhao Yun's reputation and came to meet Zhao Yun on behalf of the villagers.

Zhao Yun was very surprised that there were still officials here to protect the people to build their hometowns, and he was very surprised by such a thing, so he immediately asked Zhang Ji what he had experienced.

After listening, Zhao Yun deeply felt that Zhang was brave and strategic, courageous and knowledgeable, so he decided to recommend Zhang to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng then met with Zhang Ji, learned that this young official who had never forgotten his hometown and villagers no matter the wind and rain, admired him very much, and immediately announced the recruitment of him and recruited him to his side.

Guo Peng asked some Zhang both about his views on the Kansai region, as well as his views on Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, and unexpectedly found that this young man still had some opinions.

He has his own views on the construction and planning of the Kansai region after the war, and he is well aware of the geographical environment around Chang'an, and he has some practical talents.

Guo Peng had a heart for talent, so he took Zhang Ji with him and cultivated him carefully, planning to let him test the water as a county magistrate after this battle, to see what his ability was, whether he would adapt to changes and so on.

Fighting a war is a war, and you must have the ability, if this matter is done well, Guo Peng doesn't mind vigorously promoting this young man.

Fighting wars and promoting talents with leisure and leisure, Guo Peng is also unique.

But even so, Guo Peng has never slackened off on military affairs.

After nightfall, he personally led a team to inspect the barracks, and got up early in the morning to personally lead the team to inspect the points and preparations for war in the barracks.

The onslaught on Chang'an City has not stopped, but now it has been replaced by a trebuchet.

Sometimes a bomb is a whole day, the chickens and dogs in the smashed city are restless, and the smashed city tower is chaotic.

Sometimes, even after the sky darkened, after the siege was stopped, everyone came to have a round or two when they were eating and resting, so that the Liangzhou soldiers who were resting were caught off guard.

Sometimes, there is simply another round or two when the sky is just dawning, so that the Liangzhou soldiers who have not yet woken up are suddenly awakened, and they are worried about whether something terrible has happened.

In this way, the Liangzhou soldiers in the city always live in a deep anxiety and uneasiness for this reason, and the time is fine, but after a long time, the situation is very different.

Frequent deserters, taking advantage of the middle of the night to flee to the West City Gate, down the rope from the West City Gate, and then all the way back to Liangzhou's hometown, escape from this terrible Shura field.

The Liangzhou soldiers who grew up in the Shura field can't bear this kind of torture anymore, which shows how treacherous and brutal Guo is.

The low morale in Chang'an City had already distressed Ma Teng and Han Sui, and Guo Peng's attacks day and night also made them embarrassed.

Then, Ma Chao, who ended the grounding, took the initiative to ask for help, wanting to atone for his crimes.

He offered to lead an elite cavalry, and when Guo Peng used the trebuchet in the early morning or at night, he immediately opened the city gate and rushed out to attack, suddenly attacked, smashed their trebuchet, and let out a vicious breath.
