Chapter 183: Expansion, Administrative Reform
Chen Xian's command has its own system, which is incompatible with the inherent system of this world, and he will never recruit the warlords of this world to pollute his own system.
Therefore, all the military organizations in this world, whether they are the Mongols, the Jurchens, the Song State, or the warlords everywhere, will be his enemies, unless they lay down their arms, disband their armies, and are willing to be ordinary good citizens under Chen Xian.
But this is clearly not possible.
Therefore, whether it is Li Quan or Chen Xian's brother-in-law Yang Anguo, they will definitely be Chen Xian's enemies, Chen Xian is very clear about this, and he will never be merciful.
Finally, Chen Xian made another trade request, he could supply weapons, armor, gunpowder, three-eyed guns, flying sand cannons, soap and other goods to Wanyan Pingtao, while Wanyan Pingtao needed copper, nitrate, horses, and grain in exchange for these things.
After Yan Pingtao stayed in Chen Xian's camp for three days, he hurriedly returned north.
He was quite satisfied with the results of the peace talks.
Wanyan Pingtao could see that Chen Xian's understanding of the current situation was the same as his, and he did not regard the other party as an enemy, but regarded the Mongols as a common enemy.
Both of them tacitly did not mention what to do with the Jurchens within the scope of Chen Xian's demarcation, but they both knew that these people had been abandoned and could only be abandoned.
These Jurchens themselves have no force, and they occupy more than half of the land in these areas, lying on the Han people to suck blood, Chen Xian wants to occupy these places, how can he let go of these Jurchens who occupy the pit and do not.
And although Wanyan Pingtao couldn't bear it in his heart, he simply didn't have the ability to accept and settle these Jurchens, especially, receiving and settling these Jurchens would not only have no benefits, but also endless troubles.
Now that the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom are unable to protect themselves, these low-level Jurchen civilians naturally can't take care of it.
After Yan Pingtao left, Chen Xian began to attack the area he had demarcated.
This time, Chen Xian no longer invaded like fire, but slowly tried to figure it out at a slow pace.
Every time he pushed further, he selected a part of the fort with a better location in the area he had occupied, concentrated the population, established the ruling body, built brick kilns, expanded and strengthened the fort, and reclaimed the land. Finding suitable terrain and setting up hydroelectric plants, especially cement plants, to supply the construction of new stockades, the expansion and reinforcement of old ones...... Everything is in order.
Chen Xian found that with the expansion of the chassis, his original administrative structure was no longer applicable.
The most important thing is that Chen Xian's original administrative organization was too fine, and when his chassis expanded rapidly, not only was there not enough talent, but the cost was also unbearable.
However, Chen Xian had already expected this, the reason why he set up the administrative agency so meticulously and went down to the village level was because his chassis was too small, and there were not even a few villages under his hands, so he could naturally be meticulous, and in addition, he also had the intention of cultivating and accumulating talents.
At this time, with the expansion of his chassis, it is no longer necessary to maintain such a meticulous administrative structure.
He immediately streamlined the original administrative structure, and anyway, he was now in a period of rapid expansion, and he was not afraid that there would be no place to place officials.
First of all, the administrative organs at the town level only retain the two institutions of the Governor's House and the mayor, the mayor is fully responsible for all the government affairs of the whole town, what affairs are needed by the mayor proposed by the mayor, and then approved by the Governor's House can be established, more than a dozen people of the Governor's House is responsible for supervising the mayor, in terms of public security, the town level adopts the sheriff system, that is, the mayor appoints the sheriff, the sheriff is responsible for recruiting the sheriff, and the jurisdiction and law enforcement power of the sheriff and the sheriff is limited to the town.
In this way, a small town only needs to send more than ten people to supervise the governor, one mayor, can set up a shelf, of course, for the sake of efficiency, in the early stage, Chen Xian will send the Governor's Yuan and the mayor of the town together to directly dispatch the appointment of security officers, tax collectors and other affairs officers, instead of waiting for the new mayor to slowly recruit.
It is unnecessary to set up the courts at the town level, and there is no need for permanent courts and prosecutor's offices in small towns with a population of thousands of people.
Chen Xian raised the procuratorate and the court to the county level for permanent establishment, and the judicial needs at the town level were solved by regular circuit courts, and the prosecutors at the town level could only be taken care of by the sheriff, and then the county prosecutor's office could take care of part of it.
Criminal investigation departments exist only in county-level police stations, and town-level police stations only need to undergo simple training and know how to protect the scene.
In this way, Chen Xian's administrative pressure due to the expansion of the territory was suddenly reduced, especially in the rear area, where the mayor and governor at the town level were elected, and the town was almost completely self-controlled.
This is where the advantage of this administrative system lies, where there is a high degree of local self-control, and the central government is only responsible for collecting taxes, building up armies, resisting foreign enemies, and suppressing internal rebellions.
Of course, this state is still an ideal state for Chen Xian, even in the rear areas like Yiyuan and Laiwu, it is impossible to achieve complete autonomy, and Chen Xian also needs to send envoys often and even personally inspect to make sure that there is no crooked monk who recites his own scriptures.
Not to mention those newly occupied areas, Chen Xian needs to carry out some ideological transformation of the local people and train a group of hardcore apprentices before he can initially implement this system.
Autonomy is not a simple thing, just as it is not simple for a person to be completely self-reliant, the reliance on the powerful of the government and clans and the habitual obedience are the enemies of this kind of autonomy, and in order to do a good job of self-government, it is necessary to establish an independent and self-reliant people's character, and for the people of this era, this requires a comprehensive and thorough ideological transformation.
Chen Xian still has a long way to go to establish such a government......
Therefore, in every town occupied by Chen Xian, there was always a school that was established at the same time as the administration.
As for the newly built hydroelectric factory towns, Chen Xian simply abolished the administrative structure and adopted a manager responsibility system, which managed these factory towns as companies, rather than as administrative villages.
Chen Xian distributed the shares of some factories to retired officers, factory managers, and good workers as military merit compensation, and then had these people form a board of directors to supervise the factory managers......
In the future, Chen Xian not only plans to distribute the land in the form of military merits, but also plans to allocate a part of the hydroelectric factories in various places, such as the cement factories in various places, and he hopes to use this method to cultivate a group of real capitalists under his rule.
Compared with the landlords or nobles of this era, the capitalists are undoubtedly a more powerful, energetic, and vital class.
……
Chen Xian's side was advancing slowly, but Yang Anguo and Li Quan's side were impatient.
After Yang Anguo occupied Laizhou and Dengzhou, he ascended the throne and became the emperor and built the Yuan Tianshun.
In history, Li Quan, who originally attacked Linqu, turned his head and aimed at Weizhou after testing Chen Xian's army a little.
After occupying Weizhou, Li Quan sent someone to contact Chen Xian and expressed his intention to take refuge, but Chen Xian unceremoniously refused.
Li Quan turned his head and formed an alliance with Yang Anguo to jointly fight against Yan Pingtao's purge.
Wanyan Pingtao's purging of Yang Anguo is not as powerful as that of Anzhen in history.
The reason lies with Yang Miaozhen.
