Chapter 277: Yingchuan Officialdom

As the county guard of Yingchuan, in addition to the two main assistants of Yiwen and Wuwu, Guo Bin also has a number of subordinates who counsel him in government affairs. In ancient times, whether it was the county commander or the county guard, and even the later officials such as the Taoist seal, they generally had their own staff team, and in the Qing Dynasty, the most poor had to hire a master to fill in the gaps for themselves, and even take care of daily chores. The main responsibility of these staff members is to assist in government affairs or military affairs, and even many things that are inconvenient for the chief officials to come out can be entrusted to the staff to do. To a large extent, the excellence of the staff team determines the performance of the benefactor.

It's just that in later generations, many staff members were not recognized by the imperial court, and became the protégés of the official and needed to be paid by the official. And now, Guo Bin, as the county guard of Yingchuan, is allowed to have a staff group recognized by the imperial court. Not only do they have official titles, but they are also public servants recognized by the state.

There are three main subordinates of the county government, namely: Gong Cao, the main book, and the post superintendent. In addition, there are also Peng and Shi, two by two, to deal with county affairs.

Gong Cao, who was in charge of all personnel work in the county and was able to participate in the government affairs of a county, was equivalent to the head of the organization if compared with the government agencies of later generations. The chief bookkeeper, in charge of clerical work, has a scope of duties that is roughly equivalent to that of the chief of staff. Supervising the post, is the abbreviation of the superintendent of the post book, the superintendent of the post Cao Peng, on behalf of the Taishou inspector county and township, the proclamation of government decrees and justice, etc., each county is divided into a number of cadres, and each department has a superintendent post.

After Guo Bin and Xi Zhicai's discussion, and to the high-level discussion, these main positions were finally agreed. In the end, it was decided that Xun Yu would take the position of Gong Cao, and the main bookkeeper would be served by Xi Zhicai.

The post of Gongcao is extremely complicated, and there are many Chinese officials in the Guo Bin Group, not only the officials and petty officials in the county have their own files, but also the students who studied in Yangzhai County School and the soldiers who have made meritorious achievements. The civil service system is a sea of paperwork, which is very reasonable. The management of the archives under this subordinate has been in charge of Xun Yu before, and it has always been in good order, and now the position of the head of the organization has been officially handed over to him, and Guo Bin is also very relieved.

If it is calculated according to seniority, Xi Zhicai was the first to follow Guo Bin and should serve as the county minister, but he is unbridled and unbridled, and he doesn't care about some false fame. Moreover, Xu Shu has always handled Yangzhai affairs as a county official, whether it is qualifications or official rank, it is the most suitable, so Xi Zhicai took the initiative to give up this position. is the position of Gong Cao, and Xi Zhicai also refused because he was too busy. It's not because he's lazy, but that Xi Zhicai's work is really heavy.

Before Xu Shu, Xun Yu and others joined Guo Bin, because the scale of Guo Bin's group was still small and the various tasks were not so meticulous, Xi Zhicai had always been in charge of all affairs. However, with Guo Bin serving as the commander of Yangzhai County, and even as the county guard of Yingchuan, the civil work under his command is becoming more and more onerous, where can a person be busy? Therefore, Xi Zhicai has always attached great importance to the work of finding staff and ministers for Guo Bin, and the work of Xu Shu and Xun Yu greatly shared the work in the hands of Xi Zhicai.

It's not that Xi Zhicai is not bad at clerical work, but the intelligence work he has been responsible for is extremely heavy paperwork. In addition, it is also because of the strength of Xi Zhicai's planning and planning, Guo Bin doesn't want him to work too hard and die early as in history, so he also pays great attention to his physical condition, and will not arrange too much work for him in his spare time.

Now Xi Zhicai holds the position of the chief bookkeeper, and most of them are nominal, he only needs to check the major matters, and the specific affairs are handed over to the students who graduated from Yangzhai County School. Not only Xi Zhicai, but also Xu Shu and even Xun Yu's subordinates, there are more than a dozen graduates of Yangzhai County School who are responsible for specific work.

As for the post of postal superintendent, Guo Bin decided not to arrange specific personnel for the time being. Because the nature of the work of the postal inspector is very special, it is sent by the county warden, and is responsible for supervising the officials of the prefectures. The type of work is very similar to that of the Assassin History, except that the Assassin History is dispatched by the central government to supervise the county guards.

Therefore, the situation is very similar to that of the assassin Shi, and the superintendent is also hostile to the county orders. In order to ensure independence and hard work, the supervisors are generally young and low-ranking officialdom rookies, because they do not have the intertwined relationships in the officialdom, and they will not dare to act because of the foresight, and once they cause trouble, they can easily clear up the relationship. This is the political wisdom of the ancient Chinese, and the imperial history and clear stream of later generations are such a rule.

The nature of the work of postal superintendent determines that it can only be filled by newcomers to the officialdom who are junior or even have just entered the official career. These people, both in age and seniority, are much younger than the county orders, and they are veritable juniors, but just because of the particularity of their work, many gray-haired county orders have to send them far away. Tao Yuanming, who was very famous in later generations, called "not bending his waist for five buckets of rice", refers to this kind of political status quo that ignores the dignity of the elders and the inferior, Tao Yuanming does not want to bow his head to the pampering and arrogant juniors, and Li Bai's so-called "An Neng destroys his eyebrows and bends his waist to deal with the powerful", there is an essential difference.

Guo Bin has just been appointed as the county guard of Yingchuan, and now he has only been in office for a month, and the chief officials of each county have not yet returned to their hearts, and his subordinates can directly control only three or two county seats. If the superintendent could not wait to send the post at this time, it would undoubtedly arouse the resentment and hostility of the county chiefs, cause unnecessary internal friction, and be extremely uneconomical. Moreover, the intelligence system established since the time of Fulong Villa has now expanded rapidly through the business of Yangzhai County and even Yingchuan County, not to mention the news in Yingchuan County, it is the news of the whole world, I am afraid that it is faster than what the Son of Heaven gets. Therefore, if there is really a county order in Yingchuan County that corrupts the law, it is that there is no postal superintendent, and Guo Bin can know it accurately. At present, it seems that if the post of post supervisor must be established in Yingchuan County, it will be a bit redundant. This kind of means that can restrain counties can only play an unexpected role at a critical moment.

As for Sima Hui, he had no intention of becoming an official, but now he is obsessed with teaching students and researching knowledge and cannot extricate himself, so he has not arranged a specific position. But even so, with his status in Yangzhai County School and the speed at which Yangzhai County School graduates quickly "occupy" the lower-level officials of Yingchuan County, his status in Guo Bin's group in the future will probably not be lower than that of Xi Zhicai.

Although Wang Yun has a high reputation and good learning, he is not suitable to be too high-profile now, and with his identity, I am afraid that he will not look down on petty officials such as Guo Bin's swordsmen and pen officials. Therefore, he has been following Sima Hui to study knowledge and teach students, and Guo Bin did not reveal that he wanted to hire him as a curtain.

Guo Jia is still young, and currently only works in the scene, playing the role of a counselor on weekdays, and his main task is to study. Guo Bin has spared no effort in cultivating this young brother.

In addition to this cadre of civil officials, the military attachés under Guo Bin naturally have their own rewards, but compared with civilian officials, it is not so complicated.

Zhao Yun still holds the position of Yangzhai County Commander. Guo Bin is destined to be difficult to settle down in Yangzhai County, although he was reborn and led the army to fight in the south and north, but after all, the time is too short, and the understanding of the specific national conditions at this time is also quite insufficient, therefore, he needs to walk around, increase his knowledge and understand the national conditions at the same time, of course, it is intimidating to the people, and recruiting talents is also the proper meaning of the question.

In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Guo Bin led the army to fight outside, leaving only Zhao Yunzhen to guard Yang Zhai, which was extremely stable and reassuring to Guo Bin. Zhao Yun is Guo Bin's senior brother, with a close relationship, outstanding martial arts, cautious behavior, and extremely humble and loyal, which has been very convincing to everyone this year. Yangzhai County is the capital of Yingchuan County, and all the yamen are in the county. Let Zhao Yun serve as the commander of Yangzhai County and oversee the affairs of the county, in fact, when Guo Bin left, he was in charge of the government affairs of the entire Yingchuan County. Zhao Yun has a special identity, old qualifications, and high prestige, and it is suitable for him to be the mainstay of Yangzhai County.

Although Guo Bin has the power to open accounts and set up a government, he does not have a direct official army approved by the imperial court, and the only one recognized by the imperial court is the Yue cavalry battalion. Even so, the Yue Cavalry Battalion also became Guo Bin's escort, and the imperial court no longer gave them food supplies. It is such a confusing account that allows the imperial court to raise a large army without breaking a penny, which is a little clever played by Liu Hong, the son of heaven.

However, it was Liu Hong's arrangement that caused Guo Bin's embarrassing situation in arranging his generals. Zhang Fei was the military Sima of the Yue Cavalry Battalion before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he made many military exploits in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he was even killed six Xianbei generals in succession outside the Saiwai, and his reputation was shocked in Mobei, which was such a striking and conspicuous achievement, in addition to the rewards of gold and silver in the imperial court, Guo Bin was stunned that there was no position for him, resulting in Zhang Fei still being in the position of the military Sima.

In addition to Zhang Fei, there is also Chen Zhi, who also leads the position of Sima of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and He Man, the original Yellow Turban general, has become the 100-man commander of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, leading the troops to garrison the manor outside the Changshe City. And Guan Hai, who has followed Guo Bin for the longest time and is the most trusted by Guo Bin, has become Guo Bin's guard captain, managing Guo Bin's unfinished guard team.

When announcing this arrangement, Guo Bin first said something like this: "Everyone does not care about remuneration, does not avoid hardships and dangers, follow me Guo Bin all the way to this point, Guo is grateful." All of you here are all famous people for a while, but Guo's official position is not high, and his reputation is not thick, so he can only grieve you for the time being. ”

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai took the lead in getting up and said: "The name of the lord moves in all directions, his ambition is in the world, and his mind is admired by the world, how can it be limited by one county and one county?" The ministers are fortunate to follow the lord, govern the country and the country, and promote the prestige of foreign lands, which is really a happy thing in life, a little false name, where do you care about it? ”

Xu Shu, Xun Yu, Guan, Zhang, Chen Zhi and others also got up and agreed. Guo Bin listened satisfied, now he holds the post of Yingchuan County Warden, and in the future, he will definitely have to rein in the power of the counties under his rule, and if he wants to really take the counties under his control, he will have to hold the position of the county commander in his hands, and then with the support of the local wealthy family, his position in Yingchuan will become more and more stable. Now these talents under his command will be released in the future, and if they really care about the little vanity in front of them, and their eyelids are so shallow, it will really disappoint Guo Bin.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xi Zhicai held a note in his hand, came behind Guo Bin, and said in a low voice: "Lord, there is news from the south." ”

Guo Bin's face moved, and he said, "But the miasma in Jiangnan has worsened again?" Or is there another increase in casualties? ”

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said, "A few days ago, Tiannan Sword Immortal Shixie was seriously ill and was looking for a famous doctor in the Quartet. Guo Bin nodded slowly, this was all the previous news, he naturally knew it, and only listened to Xi Zhi to continue: "Today, there is a flying pigeon to pass the book, Shi Xie died, and Jiaozhou actually has the news of the predecessor of Xinglin Holy Hand Dong. ”

Guo Bin listened to it and suddenly got up.
