Chapter 149: System and Manpower
Tian Guo, the former judge of the Economic Strategy Division, was transferred to the deputy commander of the Ningshuo Army, and Xu Ping wrote to ask the DPRK to send a new judge to come, and recommended Zeng Gongliang. After weighing it, Zhao Zhen finally agreed to Xu Ping's request and sent Zeng Gongliang to serve as the judge of Qin Fenglu's Economic Strategy Division. Zeng Gongliang compiled a military book in the court, which was regarded as a military knowledge, and concurrently served as a lecturer in Tianzhang Pavilion, explaining the scriptures and meanings to Zhao Zhen, and was a minister he was familiar with.
As an emperor, it is inevitable to send ministers to the border areas that he knows and trusts. In the several roads along the border, it is difficult for Zhao Zhen to do this in the other roads, and the subordinate officials of the Wenchen Jinglu are set up by themselves, and the military generals simply exclude the literati from participating in the military. Only Xu Ping did not refuse to come, and would take the initiative to ask for subordinate officials in the DPRK and China, and most of Zhao Zhen's cronies came here.
Xu Ping was in the northwest, winning the war and destroying the party was one of the goals, and reorganizing the military culture and system during the war was the second goal. If you don't know how to fight, then you can learn, as long as you put your mind to it, you can always learn here. In the process of studying, the new military culture and system will also be propagated. And with Xu Ping's current status, there is no need to worry about the officials being difficult to control when they arrive in Qinzhou, and now except for a few old ministers in the court, no one dares to spread wilderness here with him.
Xu Ping's basic position in the court was originally a civil servant with financial expertise mainly composed of officials from the three divisions, but after arriving in Qinzhou, there were more generals who grew up in the new military system. As the war progressed, the affairs under Qinzhou's jurisdiction became more and more complicated, and these two parts of officials began to intersect, and Xu Ping did not know what they would grow into in the future.
The arrival of Zeng Gongliang further regularized the Qinzhou Army, and various systems began to be systematized and written regulations were formed. Perhaps in the future military book, Qinzhou's new military system will become an important part.
Immediately afterwards, in the same year that Xu Ping was the former general judge of Fengxiang Mansion, Liang Qian was in charge of the official affairs of Qin Fenglu's Economic Strategy Division, and was responsible for the daily chores of the Shuai Mansion. Xu Ping himself got out of his daily affairs and reorganized the military and civil affairs west of Longshan.
With the progress of the war, the number of subordinate officers of the Economic Strategy Division began to increase compared with before, so as to adapt to the trend of increasing concentration of military and civil affairs in the frontier areas to the Economic Strategy Division under the new system. Qin Fenglu Jingluo is now supposed to be two judges, one person in charge of official affairs, one person in charge of official affairs, one person who is suitable for time, and one deputy envoy who is deployed by the deputy capital to pacify the strategy. At this time, Sang Yi was promoted due to his military merits, and was deployed as the deputy envoy and deputy capital of Qin Fenglu, and the commander of the Xuanwei army. In terms of establishment, Xu Ping's marshal mansion has one less person to do official business, and Xu Ping has not yet thought of a suitable candidate. Qin Fenglu's five divisions of the marshal's mansion have their own duties, although most of the people who preside over each division are military generals, but they also understand the affairs of the officials, and they are not in a hurry to fill in the missing candidates.
When Xu Ping was not in the Shuaifu, the military decision-making power was handed over to Sang Yi, and the disposal of daily affairs was handed over to Wang Kai. In fact, the military power of the envoy comes from the concurrent deployment of the capital, especially the power to command operations. Wang Kai was the supervisor of Qinzhou, with limited power in the existing system, and everything came from Xu Ping's authorization. Xu Ping's military reform in Qinzhou has gradually involved the institutional setup, staffing, and respective powers of the side roads. Because it is still being trial, there are many conflicts between the Qinzhou Marshal Mansion and the system design in terms of system, and it cannot be changed for a while, relying on Xu Ping's direct authorization to operate.
The core of Qin Fenglu's ability to operate like this is that Zhao Zhen did not have the right to act cheaply. As long as this edict is still in Xu Ping's hands, to a large extent, he can bypass the Privy Council and the Sanya, and act in Qinzhou by his own will. Several successive military victories consolidated Xu Ping's power, but the temporary authorization was not reliable after all.
The military system of the Great Song Dynasty was designed to be very decentralized, and it was difficult to form a situation in which one person acted arbitrarily. Even at the same time, the power of the side marshal and the side marshal are actually different, depending on the official position they hold concurrently, and also on the amount of power given temporarily. Among the five roads along the northwest border now, Xu Ping has the greatest power, the marshals of the two roads of Yan Yan and Huanqing have the least power, and militarily they have a Shaanxi road above Xia Shouyun.
After several months of running-in, Qin Fenglu's operation in the military system became normal, although there is still a lack of institutional guarantees, but it is enough to adapt to the current situation. In the summer, Xu Ping's days in Dingxi City became less and less, and more time was spent in Qinzhou, and he rarely interfered in the daily affairs of the army.
On this day, Xu Ping summoned Shi Yannian, Fan Xiang, Wang Gongchen and the new Qinzhou Governor Zhao Zi to discuss the achievements of merging accounts into villages and organizing households and people in the Qinzhou Marshal Mansion to discuss the achievements of merging accounts into villages and organizing households and people for more than a year, as well as the principles for the implementation of the system in the future.
Shi Yannian said: "Since the merger of accounts in the vicinity of Qinzhou a year ago, it has been completed to the west of Longxi County and the north of Tianshui County. I originally thought that it would cause dissatisfaction among the Tibetan people and cause more incidents, but after a year, I didn't expect things to turn around. Now in the places close to Qinzhou, from time to time, there are people who ask the state government to carry out the merger of accounts with them. It's just that now there are not enough officials in the state, and manpower is scarce, so it can only be delayed. Now that Longxi has set up counties, if we want to carry out the consolidation of accounts more widely, we must set up more counties and towns. It's just that Qinzhou is located in the northwest, and many officials in the DPRK and China are reluctant to come, so this matter is troublesome. ”
Wang Gongchen said: "The eyelids of the Tibetan people are shallow, and they are willing to merge the accounts, but they are the local Tibetan households who are red-eyed and have passed the accounts, and they have benefited from the officials." In autumn and winter, where the grass and trees are withered and yellowed, and the accounts are settled, the government gives them grass and grain on credit, and there are many cattle and sheep left after the beginning of spring. For thousands of years, the pasture is there, and whoever has more cattle and sheep eats more grass will be able to make a bargain. Seeing this benefit, so many people asked to merge into villages. But when they have joined the accounts, we will give them grass and grain on credit. What is out on credit may not be recovered, and there is always a risk. I remember when I was on Jingxi Road, Jing Luo did not agree to the implementation of the green seedling law, and the same is true for grass and grain on credit. ”
Dingxi County is the ancient Weizhou, where it was Dingxi County before the Sui Dynasty, and it was changed to Weizhou when Dingxi County was abolished in the Tang Dynasty. Later, after not entering Tibet, after repeated times, the state governance was temporarily placed in Pingliang, and later Pingliang was changed to Weizhou, which is now the Weizhou of the Great Song Dynasty. After the implementation of the merger of accounts into villages, Dingxi County was re-established and subordinated to Qinzhou. The large-scale merger of accounts into villages and the organization of households and the people will inevitably lead to the civil affairs of Qinzhou becoming more and more complicated, and the existing Qinzhou establishment can no longer be adapted.
When Qinzhou was merged into a village, it was accompanied by economic support. Especially in this past winter, with the support of Wang Gongchen's camp and field affairs, a large amount of pasture and grain were given to the herdsmen without interest and on credit, so as to avoid a large-scale reduction of their livestock. This caused a problem, and the herders had far more livestock after the merger than in normal years, and they gained the upper hand in the competition for grazing land, causing the disdain of those who had not yet been consolidated. And now that the large-scale promotion of the consolidation measures, Qinzhou's current manpower and material resources are somewhat difficult to support.
Xu Ping thought for a while and said, "This matter is urgent, I will write to the court and send more officials here." There is no benefit, and it is inevitable that some officials are afraid of the dangerous road and do not want to go to the border areas to become officials, and this matter still has to be discussed with the court of judges, which is nothing more than to let the officials in the border areas reduce the grinding. When the place is defeated, someone must guard it, and it will not be difficult to come to the imperial court. ”
