In the conference room of Zhonghua Hall, Gu Haotian, Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, as well as the personal guard battalion, the training battalion, the six infantry battalions, the four sailor battalions, the cavalry battalion, and the five departments of civil affairs, logistics, infrastructure, commerce, and intelligence, a total of eighteen chief officers, except for Ma Qiang and Gu Song who were represented by Lei Heng and Gu Bai in Gujiazhuang, the others were all present, and the oval conference table in the large conference room was full.

On behalf of the award charter formulation group, Xiao Jiasui introduced the charter to the participants.

"According to the request of the petty officials, I, together with the two division chiefs, Xiao Rang and Du Qian, fully solicited the opinions of the guards and other brothers in the past two days, and preliminarily formulated this charter. In the escort team, the merit of the military and political registration shall prevail, and the meritorious ones shall be awarded, and the heads of the departments shall draw up the positive and negative divisions, and the final list shall be determined by the management office of the manor. If there is no big objection, the key is the number of people to be rewarded and the recommendation of the personnel. There are only two days left at the end of the year, and this matter must be decided today, and tomorrow all battalions and localities will nominate personnel, and the day after tomorrow, that is, on the 29th, a ceremony will be held to present rewards, so that everyone can have a happy year. ”

"Everyone, we have been busy eating and drinking these days, Mr. Xiao has not touched the meat at all, and we have to worry about everyone's rewards, but we can't erase their credit, everyone has to put forward some conscientious suggestions, don't let them work hard."

Gu Haotian's witty remarks made the atmosphere of the venue, which had been a little tense by the complicated reward distribution regulations, suddenly relaxed.

"My suggestion is that the personnel should be more refined than mixed, otherwise the meaning of the reward will be lost; Another is that in the distribution of personnel, it is necessary to give prominence to the key points and take into account the overall situation; because of the different nature of the various battalions on the mountain, or because of the different lengths of time they have been set up in camp, there are more or fewer opportunities for meritorious service, and it is not that they themselves do not make meritorious contributions, but we can also discover their merits from their daily training and daily behavior, set an example, and give them rewards. ”

Gu Haotian's next words set the tone for the reward. After some discussion, it was decided that the number of rewards would be 700, divided into A, B, C, and so on, of which 100 would be 100 in the first class, 200 in the second class, and 4 in the C class. The escort team and various departments are distributed in a ratio of seven or three, and basically each battalion has a reward quota everywhere, of course, such as the personal guard battalion, the cavalry battalion, the logistics office, the infrastructure construction department and other places with heavier daily tasks will be tilted.

"Little officials, but I have some difficulties here, there are too many people in the infrastructure department, I can't see it alone, those people do better things and it is difficult to judge accurately, if it is unfair, I am afraid it is not beautiful." At present, there is only one Tao Zongwang in the infrastructure construction department, and the team is the largest, so it is really difficult to set the reward object.

"I have a plan here, you can see if it can be used."

At this time, Gu Haotian suddenly remembered the democratic centralism of later generations, so he put forward a simplified version of the idea.

"After you go back, you will consult with a few major stewards, and then set a general list of personnel, and then vote by the people below, if the results are consistent with the usual performance, then it will be done, if there is a gap in a few individuals, you wait and then make adjustments, this is not bothering, and avoid partiality."

"This method is so good, I'm worried about how to choose people, and I'll go back later, so I wrote the list of meritorious personnel and posted them on the wall, so that the whole camp can vote, and I don't bother with it."

Tao Zongwang didn't reply yet, Yuan Lang had already rushed to answer, the fifth battalion was a new battalion, and he was the new battalion commander, so he didn't know much about the team members below.

"The method of the petty officials is not bad, but it is not easy for more than 1,000 people in the infrastructure department to be called together, and it is messy, I am afraid that there will be chaos."

Tao Zongwang's worries are also reasonable, the quality of the migrant workers in the infrastructure construction department is uneven, and it is indeed inconvenient to organize them all.

"It's not that hard. All you have to do is get a few people from each place to come and vote. ”

Wen Huanzhang quickly understood the benefits of Gu Haotian's method, and the ideas he proposed were also in line with the step-by-step recommendation methods of later generations. Therefore, once it was proposed, not only Gu Haotian praised it, but everyone also praised it. In particular, each battalion of the escort unit has a fixed number of personnel in the companies, teams, and squads under it, and there is no need to even determine the proportion of recommended personnel, which is really simple and practical.

The meeting lasted less than an hour, but Gu Haotian and Wen Huanzhang were blocked in the conference room by the battalion commanders and division chiefs to explain the various details of the democratic election. The most representative and most concentrated problem is what to do if you can't choose the one with the most credit, or if you can't choose the one with the little credit.

"Actually, I also answered this question just now, let's put it this way, I call this method of public election 'democracy', and the candidates who are put forward will be verified and checked by you, the battalion commanders and division chiefs, and I call this method 'centralization', after these two rounds, the candidates who are elected will probably not be wrong."

"I'll give you a simple example, for example, Sun An has the greatest credit in the second battalion, and he is only listed as the second or third after being recommended, then your chief and deputy battalion commanders, of course, can also be called the company commander, and after discussion, if there is some deviation, you can transfer him to the first place. But if it is only ranked more than ten in the recommendation, then you have to think about whether there is anything wrong with Sun An's usual personality and temperament, and even check whether his credit is true. There is an old saying that says, 'The eyes of the people are bright', if everyone says that you are not good, this person will not be able to use the great merit, and the reason for this, you are all the people in the head, you must also understand. ”

Gu Haotian's simple example made everyone understand the meaning and operation method of this so-called "democracy" and "centralization" at once, and they hurriedly went back to electing people.

Let's say that Xiao Jiasui has only listened to it for a long time, and he is also deeply impressed by the whimsy of the petty officials, but he thinks more than those battalion commanders and division chiefs.

The "democracy" and "centralization" of petty officials are indeed wonderful, but the size of each battalion and each place is different, and it is good to have a fixed number or set up a rule for the number of people who can participate in the "centralization." Otherwise, the battalions may make their own decisions and cause chaos. ”

Xiao Jiasui's words immediately made Gu Haotian think of a system in later generations, that is, the "party committees and party groups" of various units, and he even thought of the military's political commissar system, although these systems are currently being implemented too hastily and the conditions are not ripe, but it does not prevent him from taking out this kind of thinking and communicating with the two wise men.

Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Jiasui are both elites of this era, and they thought about the idea put forward by Gu Haotian for a while and understood the benefits, especially the idea that the military command and personnel, propaganda, and education powers in the army should be separated from the two of them, which immediately made the two of them think of the mystery.

"As soon as this system came out, the situation of separating feudal towns since the Middle and Tang Dynasty could be eliminated, and this dynasty did not have to treat the military attache as a thief to guard against it." Wen Huanzhang was very emotional when he heard it.

"This system is wonderful, but there must be an additional one, which must be rotated regularly to avoid two people being together for a long time and forming a party for personal gain." Xiao Jiasui is worthy of talent, and can always come up with some unexpected ideas.

"Mr. Xiao is reasonable, not only should they rotate regularly, the two are both chief officials, although the division of labor is clear, but also to consider complementary personalities, complementary knowledge, and complementary qualifications, otherwise the two will fight together, it is better not to set up. However, this system is only an assumption, and there is no basis for implementation in the current manor, if Mr. Xiao has time, he may wish to sort it out first, and then take it out to discuss a few of us first, and then try it out after gradually improving. ”

"The petty officials instructed, and they should work hard under them."

Xiao Jiasui saw that Gu Haotian handed over this important matter to him, knowing that if this matter was successful, he would definitely become famous in history, and he was very excited and full of confidence at the moment.

On the afternoon of the 27th day of the 11th year of Chengping, it was an ordinary meeting to discuss rewards. However, because of a novel proposal by Gu Haotian, a famous military management mechanism was born, and Xiao Jiasui, the designer of the system, was also famous for posterity.

Later, when he was a prince, when he revised this system, he wrote in the preface: At that time, Taizu discussed rewards with everyone and proposed the government to divide power between the military and the government.

After the Zhonghua Hall meeting, just after returning home, Gu Hai Haotian was called to the backyard by his parents.

"Last time I went to Jeju, did you meet any woman you like?" Li opened his mouth and asked about it.

"Ahh Gu Haotian was stunned for a moment, thinking that Pan Jinlian was talkative, and then looked at her sternly.

"Don't look at her, someone wants to propose marriage for you, and she is worried that the old lady will ruin your good deeds, so she opened her mouth."

So that's the case, Gu Haotian glanced at Pan Jinlian again, but saw her looking aggrieved with her head down, thinking that this little girl's glass heart must have been shattered, and it seems that she has to think about it tonight.

So he talked about his acquaintance with Kong Yuhan, and then talked about this coincidence in Jeju.

"Yuhan is the daughter of the Kong family in Qufu and a relative of the Yan family in Jeju, my son is afraid that the door is wrong, and her family does not agree."

"The daughter of the Qufu Kong family!" Gu Zhen took a breath of cold air, for ordinary families, the Kong family is on a par with the emperor, especially in the Qilu area, "That family is really a little unworthy." "The old man is also a little unconfident.

"What is not worthy, my son is more than enough to match the emperor's daughter, and that little lady is also determined to talk to our son, and tomorrow I will find a proper person to come to the door to propose marriage." Li is full of confidence in his son.

"Mother don't worry, my son is still young, it's not too late to wait two or three years."

"You're not in a hurry, but you're in a hurry, you think that the daughter of the Kong family can wait for you at home for two or three years like ordinary people, I'm afraid that someone will marry you a long time ago." Li glared at him.

"My son is afraid that if something happens to Liangshan in the future, it will drag her down." This is what Gu Haotian has been worried about.

"You are stupid, it has really come to that point, if you can't even protect a weak woman, what hope do you have, it's better to disperse people now, and live with peace of mind when you take a fame test."

Li understood what his son meant, but he was also a little reasonable.

"Son, your mother's words are good." Gu Zhen also thought through at this time, "If there is really that day, the daughter of the Kong family is on our mountain, his family may become our help, even if it is not done on the surface, it will never be bad to us, and it is impossible to help us secretly." ”

Gu Zhen's tone is to bind the Kong family to the rhythm of Liangshan, Gu Haotian is very clear that a thousand-year-old family like the Kong family will never affect the interests of the family for a woman, but if Gu Haotian is lucky enough to become powerful in the future, this woman may become the link between the Kong family and Liangshan. However, on the whole, there is no loss to Gu Haotian in getting engaged, but there will be some cruelty to Kong Yuhan.

"If we go to propose marriage so abruptly, the Kong family may not agree, and then it will be embarrassing, and my son thinks it is better to wait a few more days."

Gu Haotian knew that these high-ranking families had a lot of rules, and they would not easily agree to the characters who did not enter the eyes of the law.

"It's not difficult, I'll invite Mr. Wen and Mr. Xiao to come over tomorrow to discuss, and the two of them will have a way."

For the sake of his son's family affairs, Li's brain was particularly bright, and he suddenly thought of the two wise men on the mountain.

Now that Li had made up his mind, the three of them rested and waited for tomorrow.
