"The lord is wise! Wait for your lordship to meet your lord! ”

"The lord is wise! Wait for your lordship to meet your lord! ”

As Sima Yu's words landed, there was silence in the hall for a while, and then they bowed their heads one after another, and a tsunami-like salute erupted.

Now this world is a huge world that has never been seen before, heroes and heroes from all eras have gathered together, the upper order has collapsed, and the heroes are competing with each other.

Sima Yu also rose in this huge troubled era, and the millions of people under his rule and the land of Yongzhou are enough to be regarded as a prince.

The title of the monarch is the title of the monarch of the princely states in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"Gentlemen, please get up!"

After saluting, Sima Yu looked down, raised his hands lightly, and motioned for everyone to get up.

"My lord, now that the counties are newly determined, our army has all taken Yongzhou, with 11 counties under its jurisdiction, and the people under its rule have exceeded 5 million, and the original political system is no longer out of date, so we should reform the existing political system and administrative divisions as soon as possible, so as to promote the development of all localities under our rule as soon as possible!"

The faces of the crowd were flushed, and the hall had just quieted down, when Wang Meng, who had rushed back from Wujian County, suddenly came out of the ranks.

After Wang Meng joined Sima Yu, he was reused by him as soon as possible. After successively serving in Zhongba County and Wujian County, Wang Meng's ability has been fully brought into play, especially in the process of temporarily serving as the commander of Wujian County during the war, not only after Zhang Qicai's transfer, he quickly stabilized the situation in the entire Wujian County, but also quickly rectified the county's official governance, creating a stable rear for the 100,000-strong army.

Wang Meng's ability has been widely recognized by Sima Yu and his ministers, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sima Yu took the opportunity of Wang Lifu to transfer him back is of great use, and it is indeed a waste to put a good talent in a county.

"Oh? What does Jingluo mean? ”

Sima Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Wang Meng with some puzzlement.

Wang Meng hadn't mentioned this to him before, and Sima Yu, who came from modern times, didn't realize what was wrong with dividing a region of hundreds of thousands of people into a county.

"Your Majesty, the entire Yongzhou has 10 counties such as Qilin, Jumei, and Chenshi, plus Zhongba County in the southwest of Yongzhou, and there are 11 counties under the rule of the entire southern palace, and each county has thousands of square kilometers of land and hundreds of thousands of people. However, in a county government, there are only 20 or 30 officials, including county magistrates, county governors, and county lieutenants, and less than 100 officials, including officials from various towns and towns, such an administrative body has jurisdiction over all matters concerning the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in a county, and it is by no means easy to do so, even if all the officials are capable. In addition, the 7 counties of Wujian, Laisu, Honglu, and Shuangshi are just determined, and they all belonged to different forces before, and there must be estrangements and doubts between them. If this problem is not resolved as soon as possible, it will inevitably affect the development of various localities and local stability, and if it continues to be delayed, it will seriously delay the development of our army," Wang Meng bowed his hand and said slowly.

Although the area of thousands of square kilometers was not large in ancient times, because with the continuous development and population expansion of various places, its developed economy and dense population are by no means able to be achieved by a single county.

Wang Meng, who successively served as the commander of Zhongba County and the commander of Wujian County, has the deepest feeling for this, everything needs to be done by himself, and the power is too centralized.

Wang Meng, who has carefully studied the rise of Sima Yu, knows very well that the reason why the forces under his rule have been able to maintain stability is that in the previous unified war, with sufficient material support in the treasury system, most of the people under his command were immersed in the development of local areas and the continuous victory of foreign wars, coupled with the mediation of Guoyuan and others, which created Sima Yu today.

However, relying only on the support of external resources and the support of strong personal ability is by no means the manifestation of a mature and stable regime, and it should have a stable and continuous order within it, and will not lose the ability to continue to function because of the absence of a few. And this order is formally established by the system of government of a political regime.

"What Jing Luo said is reasonable, I don't know if Jing Luo has a good plan in his heart?"

Hearing this, Sima Yu's eyes swept towards Guoyuan and Xiang Lang imperceptibly, and after seeing that they both bowed slightly, he looked at Wang Meng and said solemnly.

As a monarch, although Sima Yu is 10,000 assured of Wang Meng's ability, he will not trust one person in this kind of policy that is related to the country's plan, and he also needs to consider the opinions of old people such as Guoyuan and Xiang Lang.

"Back to the monarch, when the implementation of the county system, the local division into state, county, county three levels, but at present our army has five million people, but geographically it is still only a state land, at present only need to divide the county, county two levels, more than 30,000 county households for the upper county, more than 20,000 county households for the middle county, more than 10,000 county households for the lower county, the county for the county, more than 5,000 county households for the upper county, more than 3,000 county households for the middle county, more than 2,000 county households for the lower county, by the royal government unified screening personnel sent to the local service, According to the number of households in each county, there are different grades and numbers of officials. In this way, as the area under their jurisdiction is reduced, the administrative level and division are further clarified, and the county officials can perform their duties and do their best to quickly stabilize the local area and develop the economy."

Wang Meng bowed when he heard this, and said slowly and loudly in a calm tone.

The county system, from the Spring and Autumn Period, the county system originated in the Chu State, the county system originated in the Qin State, after the unification of the Qin State, after the reform of Qin Shi Huang, the county system officially became the local political system after the Qin and Han dynasties, it can be said that it is the origin of the local political system of the ancient Chinese dynasties, although there are differences in the name and regional division, but the reason is the same.

However, the county division system mentioned by Wang Meng is different from that of the Qin and Han dynasties, and it is based on the county system of the Sixteen Kingdoms period and the characteristics of the Yangwu Army itself.

According to the average of 6 people per household in this era, the total population of a Shang County is only between 150,000 and 200,000, and the population of Shang County is between 30,000 and 50,000, and the total population of more than 5 million under Sima Yu can be divided into 30-40 counties and hundreds of counties.

The downsizing of administrative divisions will certainly be conducive to improving the efficiency of local work and to the post-war recovery and economic development of various localities.

At the same time, there is another point that Wang Meng did not make clear, the original county system is broken up and reorganized, which means the collapse of the original local power structure, all the county guards and county orders are directly appointed by Sima Yu, and the officials of other counties and counties are also uniformly selected by the southern royal palace, which is conducive to strengthening the centralization of power and avoiding the expansion of local gate lords.

Without the soil on which it depends, the ambitions in the hearts of all those who originally had different thoughts naturally cannot grow stronger, so they can only cling to Sima Yu, a towering tree, to seek refuge.

In the first month of the third year of the Great Controversy, after some careful discussion, Sima Yu, the king of the south, officially announced the implementation of the county system under his rule, led by Wang Meng, and assisted by Guo Yuan, Xiang Lang and others to re-divide the original 11 counties.
