Chapter 152: Establishment of the Mansion and Recruitment Order
The first month of the three years of the Great Struggle was not only a bumper month but also a busy month for the civil and military forces under Sima Yu's command.
On the 16th day of the first month of the third year of the Great Controversy, before the smell of fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve had completely dissipated, Sima Yu summoned a group of ministers of culture and military affairs under his command to hold the first meeting after the unification of Yongzhou.
At the meeting, Sima Yu rejected the call of the ministers to persuade him to be the emperor, and slowly called himself the emperor, first the king, and called himself the king of the south.
This is also the first time that after two years of fighting, Sima Yu officially issued his voice to other forces as a prince.
After determining the policy of calling Wang Jianfu, Wang Meng, the former commander of the five counties, proposed to Sima Yu to implement the county system. After some discussion, Sima Yu, the king of the south, and his ministers of civil and military affairs unanimously agreed with Wang Meng's suggestion and officially implemented the reform of the county system in the original 11 counties under Sima Yu's rule.
Under the leadership of Wang Meng and the cooperation of Guoyuan, Xiang Lang and other ministers, after nearly ten days of deliberation and division, the entire southern Wangwangfu was divided into 36 counties and 318 counties, including 16 large counties, 14 middle counties, and 6 lower counties.
Due to the economic development and denser population of the four counties of Qilin County, Jumei County, Chenshi County and Zhongba County, the large counties are mainly concentrated in these four areas, and the seven counties of Wujian, Laisu, Honglu, Shuangshi, Ji'an, Hejiao and Jinzhu were destroyed because of frequent wars, and the population density cannot be compared with the four counties of Qilin.
As Sima Yu's home base, Kirin City has grown into a huge city with an area of 80 square kilometers and a population of more than 400,000 after two years of development.
Depending on the size of the upper, middle, and lower counties, the number of officials assigned is also different.
However, each county will have a county guard, a lieutenant, and a county officer, these three are county officials, and the county guard is directly selected by Sima Yu, and the other two are agreed by the palace and reported to Sima Yu for reading.
The county warden is in charge of the people's livelihood and political affairs of a county, promotes the agricultural and economic development of the county's subordinate counties, provides disaster relief, and has the power and obligation to select and appoint talents and eradicate treacherous officials.
The commander is responsible for commanding and training the county soldiers, and is mainly responsible for preventing thieves and maintaining law and order in a county. The Captain of the Upper County is the official position of the fourth rank and is in charge of 2,000 county soldiers, the Lieutenant of the Middle County is the official position of the Fourth Rank and is in charge of 1,500 county soldiers, and the Lieutenant of the Lower County is the official position of the Fourth Rank and is in charge of 1,000 county soldiers.
The county is in charge of governing the people, and is responsible for assisting the county guard in handling the government affairs of a county, the upper county is the official position of the fourth grade, the middle county is the official position of the fourth grade, and the lower county is the official position of the fifth grade.
In addition to these three fixed county officials, each county also has a county guard, under the government has Zhu Cao, Peng, Shi and other subordinate officials, directly responsible for the specific work, each county and county officials are not fixed, by the county guard, the county Cheng and so on according to the economic and people's livelihood development status of the county self-report, more than seven grades by the royal government, seven grades below the county by the county guard by their own selection.
However, in general, there are no more than 150 subordinate officials in the upper county and county guards, no more than 120 subordinate officials in the middle county and county guards, and no more than 100 subordinate officials in the lower county and county guards.
At the county level, there are generally officials such as the county order, the county lieutenant, the county officer, the chief bookkeeper, the court peng, and the thief Cao Cao, who is in charge of all government affairs in the county, and the county lieutenant is in charge of the military affairs in the county.
Among the county officials, except for the county order for the seventh grade and the county lieutenant for the seventh grade official, the rest are from the eighth grade and the ninth grade, regardless of the upper county, the middle county, and the lower county, each county government shall be assigned to no more than 30 subordinate officials.
As for below the county level, the village is still used as the administrative level, which is also divided into three levels, 500 households in the upper village, 300 households in the middle village, and 300 households below the lower village.
The three elders are in charge of education, and Qiang Fu is in charge of the administration of a township, collecting taxes, catching thieves, and keeping officials and security.
At the same time that Wang Meng, Guoyuan and others divided the entire southern palace under the rule of counties and counties, the post-war rewards after the unification of Yongzhou were also agreed upon by the subordinates of the former Yang Wu General's Mansion and reported to Sima Yu for approval.
With Sima Yu's official ascension to the throne, the Southern Wang's Mansion replaced General Yang Wu's Mansion as the highest official administrative body, responsible for assisting Sima Yu in governing the entire kingdom.
In the palace, there are chief officials such as Changshi, Military Division, Sima, Sizhi, East and West Cao Peng, Twelve Cao, and the main book, and each chief official has a number of subordinate officials such as subordinate officials, such as subordinate officials, subordinate history, and subordinate officials, and there are nearly 500 officials in the entire southern royal palace.
Among them, the head of the palace is the head of the officials, responsible for assisting Sima Yu to lead the officials, handling various government affairs, and is a second-grade official, served by Shi Guoyuan, the former head of the Yangwu General's Mansion.
Military advisor, the mastermind and strategic advice, staff on military and political affairs, have the post of supervising important military and political affairs, from the second-grade official, Wang Zuozhicai Wang Meng is appointed.
Originally, Yi Guoyuan meant to give up the position of Changshi and be appointed by Wang Meng, but considering that Wang Meng had been in service for a short time after all, he might not be able to convince the public, so Sima Yu deliberately let him take the position of military advisor, and it would not be too late to promote him after accumulating enough prestige.
Wang Fu Sima, in charge of the military, is responsible for organizing recruitment, military training, equipment rationing, statistics of military merits, and the implementation of military law.
The palace is straight, assists Sima Yu, reports illegality, has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, and is appointed by Xiang Lang from the second-grade official.

The many subordinate officials under the above chief officials are mostly filled by the subordinate officials of the former Yangwu General's Mansion and local officials, mainly five or six rank officials.
With the establishment of the county system and the completion of the establishment of the southern royal palace, the entire civilian bureaucratic system of Sima Yu's power exceeded 20,000 people, which was several times larger than before, and it was urgent to elect a large number of officials to expand the palace and counties.
At the end of the first month of the third year of the Great Struggle, the Southern Wangwang Mansion officially issued a recruitment order to set up recruitment halls in various places to select and hire talents. Regardless of whether it is under the rule of the royal government or people from other regions and forces, meritocracy, as long as they have the ability, they can be promoted to officials and serve in the palace or local government through selection.
