The wave of these masters going north to become officials was made by Mao Jue like a pyramid scheme. First of all, Liu Botao wooed his old acquaintances and fellow villagers, and then these fellow villagers who went to Shandong to become magistrates once again wrote letters to win over fellow villagers, relatives with relatives, and fellow villagers with fellow villagers, in just two months, there were four or five thousand low-level talents in Jiangnan who were attracted to the north, which greatly alleviated Mao Jue's official shortage.

Although the examination of Shandong and Hebei is simple, it can also distinguish between capable and mediocre talents in the shortest possible time, and appoint these traditional old officials who are different from the imperial examination relationship, these master officials have finally brought a fresh breath to the corrupt officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

And seizing this opportunity, Mao Jue also made a particularly big reform in local rights, and he completely divided the rights.

As far as Tancheng County is concerned, although Zhao Jin became a county magistrate, he can no longer cover the sky in the local area like the previous county decree, under the system of the county order, Mao Jue extraordinarily divided the county Cheng, specializing in legal litigation, not responsible for the household department but responsible for the criminal department, and there are two subordinate judges who are on the register, Zheng Bapin, ten lawyers, and Zheng Jiupin, and the judicial power is divided from the county order.

The county lieutenant was also taken very seriously, and he was also self-contained in the county government, with 50 places under his command, no longer called the government officer, but called the county public security, independent from the police station of the nine products, imitating the later generations, and the power of public security was also separated from the county order.

There is also financial power, and the county master has completely become a national official position, and he is the eighth grade, and he is no longer privately appointed by the county order! The subordinates also have ten accountants, from the ninth grade.

In this era, there was no running water, no gas and electricity, and the electricity bureau, gas bureau, and water conservancy bureau were not used, but the real estate bureau was forced to install it by the poor ghost Mao Jue, who could not afford to buy a house in later generations, as well as the Commerce Bureau, the Forestry Bureau and the Agricultural Bureau.

This is not over, there are few dynasties in the past dynasties to extend the power tentacles to the township, this time Mao Jue also did it, the county set up the township head, the township Cheng, the township lieutenant, and the subordinate also has more than a dozen clerks corresponding to these yamen in the county, taking advantage of the peasant uprising a few times, when the local tycoon forces collapsed, Mao Jue wanted to completely control the local rights in his own hands.

Originally, a county, a county order, a county officer, a county lieutenant plus a master, more than a dozen simple government officials were expanded into a large government with all kinds of everything, enough to need two or three hundred people, the Ming Dynasty registered county town 1,427, according to this number, Mao Jue to rule the Ming Dynasty, only the county level magistrates need 289000, even the Song Dynasty, which is known for its high officials, is not so terrifying.

However, this value will only be reached after Mao Jue unifies the whole country, and there are only two provinces plus Liaodong, tens of thousands of people are enough, and unlike the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was too many idlers who ate imperial grain in Beijing, and he all had to do practical things in local real positions, although it also brought some pressure on the finances, but compared to the losses caused by the illegal embezzlement of national assets by those wealthy families in the local townships, it is still not worth mentioning! If the real thing is good, no matter how you calculate it, you will earn it!

In order to build this shelf, Mao Jue also issued a reward to the merchants who came and went from the south to the north, and each time he introduced an experienced master, he reduced the tax by a certain amount, and also gathered the batch of scholars who failed in the Beijing Division, eliminated the die-hard Donglin Party and some old antiques that were not old, and all the silver was sent out in the name of sending to study, and all the available forces were completely mobilized by him.

In addition to the reform of the local official system, the imperial examination was also stabbed by Mao Jue, and his Enke this time can be regarded as the last imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty! For example, if there is a vacancy in the county public security bureau, the grassroots clerks in several nearby counties will be recruited, recruited, and won the position first, and then enjoy the promotion, and they have to continue to take the exam, which is the promotion path for officials at the local level.

As for officials at the national level, there is another level of assessment standards, but Mao Jue has not yet implemented this step.

However, in comparison, the focus of the construction of the two provinces, Mao Jue is still placed in Shandong, after all, most of the forces in the north have been annihilated by him in the first battle of Shanhaiguan, and the main opponent of Liaodong is still the Nanming who guards the rich area and nearly three-fifths of the territory of the empire! The first priority of all arriving officials is to check the household registration, and then devote all the people who can be mobilized to the construction of the Xu Lei Railway!

"This official is in charge!"

In the next month of Mao Jue's hands, Zhao Jin lost more than ten pounds, under the scorching sun in July and August, the white and tender Nanjing osmanthus duck skin he raised was also tanned into Peking duck, but although it was a little darker than before, it was a lot more energetic, and he muttered a word of complaint, and then he slapped and screamed.

"Big guy, hurry up! It's up to us whether we can eat enough this winter, repair this iron ladder, and we will send Kun with food on its back and fire in its nose to deliver food to everyone! Don't you want to go hungry in winter? ”

"Yes! I want to think so much!"

It has only been a month since he took office, and 780,000 people in ten miles and eight townships have been organized by him, carrying steel bars transported from the north, and building railways with sledgehammers.

Listening to his chanting, a group of people raised their hands excitedly and shouted loudly.

It's just that he also has the common problems of literati, and just after the magnificent shouting to boost morale, he immediately turned his head and turned his face to make a work shed, and his fat roast duck face couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile again.

"Kun! There are really foolish people who believe it! ”

…………

During military training, the instructors with foreign accents most often sang a military song, that is, unity is "mud brewing", the local rule of Shandong gradually perfected, the power of unity is really revealed, this Shanhaiguan Leizhuang to Beijing division of the railway has not been repaired for a short time, the Shandong section of the railway has been a large section of the towering in this world.

And compared with the previous labor of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Jue's road construction this time is indeed a good governance, because he used the American method of dealing with the economic crisis in the early part of the year, and used work for relief! The difference between giving money and not giving money, is enough to make the people's lives sound earth-shaking changes, this year's natural disasters are still so powerful, Shandong in addition to the coastal area under the rule of Yu Dacheng Denglai Road, the rest of the place is still a famine, to Mao Jue to work, a person every month to coarse grain two stones, fine grain a bucket, although not all rice and white flour, but good winter do not have to starve, do more, next year to spring ploughing is not impossible.

After Shandong's work-for-work relief was set up, the value of Li Zicheng's 400,000 troops as a road-building force dropped a little, and soon, someone came up with the idea.

Bang dang dong ~

The gong was struck loudly, the construction site was in full swing, and a large group of Liaodong town soldiers were kicking and walking like a military parade, surging forward like a tofu block, but unlike the majesty of the past, this time they were a bit like the shopping mall advertisements of later generations, and everyone had a neck flag like a samurai of the Japanese Kingdom on their backs, with two words written on their heads.

"Recruitment!"

Qi Jiguang recruited the Qi family's army, and there were five don'ts! Market scoundrels don't! Don't be a petty official! The most contested troops are the honest and simple peasant children, so that they can best train discipline and will not be greedy for life and afraid of death.

Mao Jue's army expansion plan is very large, Shandong is about to form five corps, and the Beijing division and Hebei will also set up five corps, plus a full 80,000 people, but Hong Chengchou recruited troops in the Beijing division for two months, and the qualified soldiers were only recruited to about 2,000.

There is no way, Jingshi is too prosperous, and the citizens of Jingshi are either used to living a comfortable life and don't want to risk their lives to fight, or those bastards before Jingying, and even many people handed over money to buy a place to go home and eat empty salary, which almost didn't make Hong Chengchou angry.

In March and April next year, as soon as the Xu Lei Railway is opened, the regent will lead the army south to divide the king and defeat with the Southern Ming, and then the Hebei Army and the Shandong Army will at least grasp the task of maintaining the security of the north, and it is even possible to go west to stick to the achievements that Wen Meng has laid now, but at this rate, Mao Jue will dominate the world, and he may not be able to build the two corps.

In fact, the best soldiers are still the old Liao people, many years of war, even the Liao people in their thirties and forties have been accustomed to the life of farming and warfare, and the discipline is outstanding.

It's a pity that Liaodong has supported Mao Jue too much, it's time to cultivate himself, in addition to the fifteen field corps in nine towns, next year's big war Mao Jue no longer wants to use the old Liaodong troops, Hong Chengchou's plan to recruit Liao soldiers is naturally stillborn.

retreated to the second, and Li Zicheng's surrender army came into view again.

Although these guys fought in the Shanhaiguan War, after all, they had seen blood and been in battle, and compared with the recruits, they were more calm.

Moreover, Li Zicheng's army is also composed of many peasant children, not as smooth as the small citizens, and after intensive training, although it is not necessarily comparable to the Liao soldiers, it can be regarded as reliable.

A team of Hong Chengchou's old subordinates, the Liao soldiers of the Shenyang Central Guard Corps, are considered models, and their side is advancing like a torrent of steel, and more than a dozen clerks of the military department behind them are ping pong gongs, gongs and drums are noisy propaganda.

"The Jingshi Legion has recruited! A full set of luxurious limited edition standard cotton armor! Superior flintlock pistol! Two taels of silver a month, two stones of grain! The legion also packs food, shelter, and clothes! Why don't you mention Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures! Mighty men of the Empire, what are you waiting for? ”

"By the way, if you join the Beijing Division, your family can also divide the house and land in advance!"

To tell the truth earlier, it's all for the Shun army to surrender troops, who doesn't send a knife when fighting, Liaozhen is indeed well equipped, but it also makes you sell your life, it's not attractive, as for the salary, the most important thing in the army is the border soldiers, and the court promises to spend money every year, and they haven't seen a silver hair, for the court, they don't believe it for a long time.

The most attractive thing is the last sentence, go first!

Recently, Mao Jue's land reform, they can be regarded as hearing a little rumor, and if they are expected to sell their lives, this point must be fulfilled by the imperial court first, otherwise they will surrender their troops, and they will be dispersed in a hurry after a battle, and get the land in advance, the temptation for these homeless children is still very great, and the infantry of this legion walked the catwalk for a stop, and immediately followed by a large number of surrendered soldiers who came to sign up.

With a bang, Wu Sangui also put down the hammer and looked over.

This is called not to fight and not to know each other, worthy of being the first traitor in the late Ming Dynasty, that night, the fierce general Ma Bao and the West Road Ma Harrier Wang Fuchen, the two of them actually did not beat him Wu Sangui one, the grievances of the three people are settled, and it is a good thing to have a capable leader, and the two of them are attached to Wu Sangui.

As soon as he put down the hammer, Ma Bao immediately leaned over excitedly, nodded and said, "Boss! To whom is it not sold? Now look at this hairy barbarian is very hopeful in the world, people live for a lifetime, and they are fighting to get ahead! Why don't we also go and sign up, according to our brothers' skills, it's not just around the corner to mix up again? ”

"That's right! Big brother, let's take a look? ”

Before, it was like taking refuge in Liaozhen, and his concubine Chen Yuanyuan was sent out, but unfortunately, by mistake, the Guan Ning army was still wiped out in the vigorous Shanhaiguan War, Mao Jue's moon array, Wu Sangui is not the kind of person who can endure loneliness, let him carry a hoe for a lifetime? It's better to kill him! This finally has a chance to get back up, where can he let it go.

Slightly reserved, waiting for Ma Bao and the two to bring it up, he nodded in a deep voice.

"Okay, our brother will break out of him under the command of this hairy barbarian!"

Just like the old boy, the three guys who were uneasy about their destiny staggered down again, and rudely kicked the army that signed up in front of them, and squeezed them up themselves.

However, the passion came, and the three brothers' road to conquering the world came to an abrupt end.

"What? Don't have a small home? Lao Tzu is alone, willing to fight desperately, why don't you accept it? ”

was so angry that he almost didn't smoke, and Ma Bao grinned and grabbed the collar of the clerk in charge of recruitment.

However, in the past few months, he has been an official under Mao Jue, and what he has learned is to be clean and not nonsense, and the clerk is not stage frightened, he rolled his eyes and hummed: "The turtle belly is like this!" If you have a temper, you go to the top! Lao Tzu here, you said that the sky is broken, there is no wife and children to receive the cultivated land! You don't even want to get your name!"

With a bang, the twenty or so Shenyang Central Guard infantry behind suddenly turned around, and the murderous eyes immediately threw a cold hair on the backs of the three of them, and Wu Sangui quickly patted Ma Bao's arm.

"Third child, don't make trouble!"

Full of stupidity, he shook off the collar of the clerk, and Ma Bao was dragged out of the crowd by the two of them angrily.

"Boss, what should I do? Is it easy to find a wife now? Where to make such a big baby? ”

"Liaozhen still doesn't trust our gang of soldiers, with family members in their hands, and then they use people as cannon fodder, they are not afraid of routing and mutiny! What a good calculation!"

Wu Sangui himself also has a small family, but he is in Beijing, and now he doesn't know how Wu Xiang is now, but this thing is also ruthless, pinching his chin in distress and gritting his teeth, Wu Sangui slapped his thigh fiercely.

"It's really not good, let's find a big family to get rich, anyway, Liaozhen only needs a hostage in hand, and it doesn't check carefully, when the time comes, we can fight, and we won't feel distressed if we can't run!"

Good guys, for the sake of the future, the ancestors don't want it!

This is also a way, Ma Bao and the two were just about to nod, but this time, another gong sounded.

It's just that this time it's not as powerful as Hong Chengchou's recruitment just now, and the odd one is still a lame, made of wood with one leg, and he is also leading a few staff secretaries, and he is listlessly humming there.

"Sailor recruitment! What widows, lonely bachelors, waste wood, garbage, cowards, all want! ”

Seeing the man with the head dangling, Wu Sangui couldn't help but jump in his eyes.

"It's !! him"
