A few years ago, when Fu Jian and the others were fighting for Guanzhong, Chang'an City was still in Du Hong's hands. In this place of Haoqi County, there was a local force called Xu Qi, and when he learned that Fu Jian had entered the customs, he killed the envoy sent by Du Hong and submitted to Fu Jian.

It is also because of this credit that Xu Qiao was promoted and reused by Fu Jian. A few days ago, Xu Qi, as an official of the Qin court, fled to Longxi with Fu Chang. And this Xu Shouchu's name is Xu Yuan, the word Shouchu is Xu Qiao's younger brother!

He is also because of Xu Qi's relationship, so he has always been in charge of the county magistrate. But when the Huashan army fought over, he did not resist and surrendered directly. In this way, his elder brother served in Fu Qin, and he himself became a part of the Huashan army.

In fact, many of these officials who have returned to the Huashan Army are in this situation. Because after Fu Jian entered the Guanzhong, in order to win over the local clans, he basically adopted this method of sealing officials.

For these people, the Qin court was just an object of their allegiance, and they did not have too high loyalty. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the Qin court is gone, as long as you change your ~ identity, you can continue to be their soil overlord in peace.

This kind of thinking, in today's world, is generally not wrong, but the problem is that Li Xin will not agree to such an approach.

This place in the middle of the pass is the place where he started, and he can't tolerate anything that is not under his control, especially since many of these people are related to the Fu Qin court. In case of a critical moment, if they suddenly have a foreign enemy, it will be a great disadvantage to the Huashan army.

"Sit down first! It seems that you still have scruples! However, this is also to be expected, as long as you get along with us for a long time in the future, you will gradually get acquainted with it! Li Xin didn't embarrass him in the end, and said a few words lightly.

The newly converted officials who were present couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief after hearing these words at this time. After all, it would be really hard for them to stand up and say that they were ugly. Mainly because he is not familiar with Li Xin, he is afraid that if he says a wrong word, he will immediately lead to death!

Li Xin understood this, so he didn't force them. Although these people have some connections with Fu Qin's side, this is like a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it may be of great benefit to yourself!

"In general, our main task now and for the time to come is to restore agricultural production. All the officials here are parents of the same place, and they must love the people and make them live a good life! In this way, the people in the territory can rest assured, and the place can be stable! I have said more than once that the rules of our Huashan Army are meritocracy! No matter what your background or background, as long as you have enough talent, as long as you have made achievements in office, you can be reused! Li Xin glanced at everyone present and said slowly.

This can be regarded as a further reassurance to those newly converted officials, so that they can rest assured to do things for the Huashan Army, and don't be panicked all day long, worrying that something bad will come to the door.

"General rest assured, we will definitely obey the orders of the superior and do our best to settle the people!" After hearing this, some people hurriedly said.

"That's good! I have already decided that an assessment system will be established soon, which will be conducted every six months, mainly to see how the people in each county are living and whether the agricultural arrangements are appropriate. Let's see if the officials in each county are corrupt and bent the law, and deceive their superiors and subordinates! In short, as long as you do a good job, you will be rewarded for your merits, but you will also be punished for your mistakes! I hope that after you go back, you will think carefully about what you have done before, but if you do it again in the future, it may not be so appropriate! Li Xin smiled at these people and said lightly.

His words seemed very ordinary, but many of the officials couldn't help but tighten their hearts, and they all began to think secretly in their hearts, wondering if there was something they hadn't done well. But what they care about the most is probably the so-called assessment system, which was not available in the Fu Qin court before.

Basically, except for some particularly critical things, such as military power, which will be tightly held in their own hands, other matters are basically handled by the local government itself.

As long as the localities can pay the taxes and levy the soldiers according to the will of the imperial court, the higher authorities will be very satisfied. But Li Xin's set seems to have only been practiced when the world was unified!

During the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the world was set up as thirteen departments of assassination, which was actually a kind of supervision mechanism, but it slowly changed later.

At this point, when Li Xin discussed with Wang Meng, Wang Meng felt that he was in a bit of a hurry. Because he felt that now that Guanzhong had just been pacified, many places were not really in his hands, and if the officials who returned to him felt the pressure at this time, I am afraid that they would have a sense of centrifugation towards the Huashan army.

There is nothing wrong with this consideration, but in Li Xin's view, it is different. Mainly because now the Huashan army is holding the power of a great victory, and no one in the land of Guanzhong dares to challenge their authority! At this time, even if they use some strong means, they will definitely not dare to resist.

And once these people gradually get used to it, and then start to do this, I'm afraid they won't give in so easily, and they may even join forces to resist him. And now they are not in harmony, and even if they are dissatisfied, it is impossible to do this.

"Monitoring is in the form of covert visits, so no one cares what you do on a daily basis! Just ask yourself if it's the right thing to do! In addition, there is another important point, that is, from today onwards, the county orders and taishou will no longer be responsible for leading troops, except in special circumstances! Seeing that these people didn't seem to have much backlash, Li Xin threw another shock bomb.

Compared to the previous one, this news is not a level of matter at all. But at this time, Xu Yuan and the others were already a little reminisced, what Li Xin wanted to do, supervision was just a trivial matter, and this seizure of military power was the main purpose.

Don't look at them, these people are just a county order, but in fact, they are big families in every county. Their identities are more like Hu Yanyu and Hu Yangchi before.

And the matter of Hu Yan poisoning them, that couldn't be more obvious! The Fu Qin court didn't care about this before, so once these people got up to make trouble, it would soon become a big disaster.

Li Xin didn't want to repeat the path of Fu Qin, so it was imperative to collect the military power of these local snakes. Of course, he is not just targeting these people, in fact, like Zhou Fang, they will no longer have military power in their hands in the future. Unless there is a temporary special appointment in the future, the military and government affairs will no longer be carried by one person.

This can be regarded as the prelude to the separation of the military and the government in Huashan, so in terms of righteousness, it will not make Xu Yuan feel that they are just targeting themselves. It will also make them more balanced in their hearts.

In the troubled times, there is a very important reason why there are so many separatist forces, that is, because those who are too conservative in various places are not only in control of the government affairs of a place, but also in charge of the local military power.

If these people are restless, many things will happen. It is all too common at this time to withhold the tax revenue of the land under one's rule and then use it to support one's own private army.

The most powerful ones are Huan Wen, who controls the seven states in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River alone, and withholds all the taxes and does not hand them over to the Jiangzuo court. This is also the reason why the Jiangzuo court can only appease him, but cannot control it.

Li Xin deliberately considered these two things when deciding. The first is to see the reaction of these people by proposing the establishment of a monitoring system! If these people do not stand up, they can throw out the separation of military and political affairs.

Of course, if these people oppose it when the matter of supervision is raised, then Li Xin will have to consider whether these people are still retained. After all, that situation means that these people are already in a group and ready to confront the Huashan Army hard-line.

Judging from the current situation, it is clear that these people are not of the same mind.

"General, although Guanzhong has been pacified, and the officers and men of the Huashan Army are also brave and good at fighting, but the counties are of different sizes and there are many people, if there are no officers and soldiers, I am afraid that there will be a lot of chaos. Please also think twice about the generals! "Some people still can't sit still, knowing that if they don't stand up against it at this time, I'm afraid they won't have a chance again. Therefore, although there was some worry in his heart that he would offend Li Xin because of this, he still stood up and said.

"Yes, yes, yes! General, if there are no officers and soldiers in the counties to maintain law and order, Guanzhong, which has finally been calmed down, is afraid that it will be chaotic again. In addition, whether it is dividing the fields or repairing the water conservancy ditches, it is necessary to maintain order by manpower! Otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no way to do this work! After someone picked the head, the others naturally reacted and immediately echoed on the side.

Li Xin was not at all surprised by the reaction of these people, after all, these things were related to their own deepest interests. However, since these people dare to jump out, it is also a good thing for themselves.

Moreover, the situation seems to be very obvious at this time, because the opponents are the newly converted officials. However, the original officials and generals of the Huashan Army did not oppose it. This gave him more confidence in this matter. 22
