Chapter 82: Opening the Mansion and Governing Affairs

As soon as the war ended, in order to implement the reconstruction plan more effectively, Wei Shuo planned to officially open the government. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Now, counting the two newly acquired lands of Yanqi and Shanshan, Wei Shuo already has seven counties under his rule.

In terms of area alone, it is no worse than the Central Plains Prefecture.

It's just that the total population is less than 800,000, far less than the rich prefectures and counties of the Central Plains.

The crowd gathered around a huge map, excitedly discussing the newly established counties.

"My lord, why did they mark the map before they agreed to cede the land?"

"Hmph, they don't dare not agree to borrow the courage of the Turtle Ci Tian, and after a while, let the cavalry go around the outside of the city, are you still afraid that the Turtle people will not give in?"

"Ahh......h

After a while, everyone gradually stopped laughing.

Wei Shuo said seriously: "Everyone, the war is over, and Gaochang has won a brilliant victory. ”

"From the previous jurisdiction of Gaochang, it has now expanded to seven counties, with Shanshan, Yanqi, Wulei (Qiuzi cutting land), Cheshi (the original eastern grassland of Wusun), Gaochang, Dunhuang, Jiuquan and other counties."

"The only drawback is the sparse population in the territory."

"There are even fewer people who belong to the Huaxia lineage, all of them add up to less than 300,000, and most of the rest are people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions."

"In order to unify the military and political affairs of various localities, Shuo decided to officially open the government to govern affairs."

Hearing that Wei Shuo was going to open a government to govern affairs, most of the people present were not surprised, this was an inevitable choice for the development of strength to a certain extent.

In the past, Wei Shuo was ruled by Wei Shuo, and the people were small, and he was not good at working with a well-functioning system.

However, with the rapid increase in the territory and population under his rule, it will definitely not work if it is as vague as before.

No matter from which point of view, it is urgent to clarify the leadership status of Weishuo and improve the political and military systems.

"The opening of the government is a major event, and it is related to your vital interests."

"Shuo does not dare to guarantee that everyone will be satisfied, but he will try to be fair and just, and strive to let everyone get a status commensurate with their own merits."

Wei Shuo knows very well that the opening of the government is actually a redistribution of interests, and everyone sits in a row according to merit and seniority, and divides the results.

This will involve a large number of personnel transfers, and the energy and effort required is no easier than organizing a big war.

Because once it is not properly arranged, it is easy to cause internal dissatisfaction, which can lead to unpredictable future troubles.

Everyone present listened to Wei Shuo's words, except for a small number of people who were nervous, most of them were very calm.

Especially people with outstanding achievements like Yang Han, Li Wei, Yin Jing, etc., are not worried about their future at all.

Today, there are two forces under Wei Shuo, one of which is the Gaochang Group, whose members include Yang Han, Yin E, Song Xuan, Li Wei and others.

This group of people was the first to follow Wei Shuo and was his right-hand man, and currently holds most of the financial power, political power, and military power, and their power is extremely huge.

However, the biggest defect of the Gaochang Group is that the local culture and education are not prosperous, and the reserve of reserve talents is insufficient, resulting in a lack of stamina.

Unless the new school successfully blossoms after more than ten years, it is estimated that it will be a little difficult for Gaochang Group to develop and grow.

The second is the Hexi Group, whose members are Zhang Zhan, Zong Chang, Du Jin, Duan Ye, Shi Wei, Guo Wen and others.

Most of its members have just joined Wei Shuo, except for Du Jin and Duan Ye who occupy important positions due to special relationships, the others have not yet entered the core layer.

However, unlike the lack of Gaochang Group, Hexi Group has great development potential due to the support of the family and the famous Confucian Guo Yu.

The two groups are not very distinct from each other, and the ties between the two groups are very close.

Taking Song Miao as an example, although he is one of the members of the Gaochang Group, he also has frequent contacts with the Hexi Group because he was born in a Hexi family.

In order to balance the two groups, Wei Shuo racked his brains, and discussed with everyone for half a month before deciding on the final plan.

This plan implements the idea of separating civil and military forces that he has always admired, thoroughly implements the policy of not taking charge of the army and not interfering in politics, and puts an end to the possibility of feudal towns in the future.

……

At the beginning of April, Wei Shuo officially announced that in the future, all government orders under his rule would be promulgated by the Metropolitan Protectorate, and military orders would be the responsibility of the Zhenxi General's Office.

He served as the protector of the Western Regions and the general of Zhenxi, and was the regent of the military and government.

Under the Metropolitan Protectorate, he was divided into left and right Changshi, and received eight Cao, including education, planning, household, agriculture, commerce, industry, taxation, and transportation, and assisted him in handling all government affairs.

Among them, the position of the left Changshi was handed over to Song Miao by Wei Shuo, and as for the post of the right Changshi, because there was no suitable candidate, it could only be temporarily vacant.

The chief officials of Cao are: Yin Jing, the director of Xuecao, Shi Wei, the director of Ji Cao, Zong Chang, the director of Nong Cao, Song Xuan, the director of tax Cao, Zhao Rou, the director of Gongcao, Yin E, the director of Shangcao (not returning for the time being), Kan Qiu, the director of Cao, and Zhang Zhan, the director of Hucao, are temporarily in charge of Zhang Zhan.

Due to the lack of talents, many positions are part-time, which is also a matter of no choice, and can only wait for the right candidates to make a decision in the future.

And Lord Yang Han, who has always supported Wei Shuo, although he did not serve in the Cao of the Imperial Protectorate, nor did he hold the post of chief historian, but he was appointed by Wei Shuo as the assassin of the sandbank.

In the future, he will jointly govern the seven counties under his jurisdiction with the local county guards, and will be responsible to the Metropolitan Protectorate and Weishuo.

From this list of appointments, it can be seen that Wei Shuo did not appoint according to the current custom, but fully learned the lessons of later generations and after repeated consultations with everyone, he came up with this 'four dislikes' structure.

In addition to arranging the officials in charge of government affairs, Wei Shuo himself also has several directly subordinate agencies.

The first is the Metropolitan Prosecutor's Division, which is responsible for investigating, supervising, and supervising officials at all levels.

The second is the Inspection Division, which is responsible for the pursuit of thieves.

The third is Dali Temple, which is responsible for trial and conviction.

The fourth is Cao Peng, who is responsible for legislation and popularizing legal knowledge.

According to the regulations, the directly subordinate institutions are not under the management of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and are only responsible to Wei Shuo.

They have the right to investigate officials at any level, and as long as the evidence is conclusive, they can arrest, convict, and punish criminals with the approval of Wei Shuo.

In addition, in the future, the Metropolitan Protectorate, the Prefecture Governor's Office, the County Guard Mansion, and the Prefectural Government will no longer be in charge of relevant military affairs.

All military affairs were handed over to the management of the Zhenxi General's Office.

The Zhenxi General's Mansion consists of the left and right Sima, and the subordinate commanders are the Military Division, the Infantry Division, the Cavalry Division, the Guard Division, the Government Soldier Division, the Ordnance Supervisor, the Joint Logistics Division, the Military Supervision Department, and the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, which are six divisions, one supervision and two offices, to assist Wei Shuo in handling military affairs.

The Department of Military Affairs is responsible for analyzing the military situation, formulating military plans, and issuing operational orders.

The Infantry Division and the Cavalry Division are in charge of the daily training, recruitment, and management of the two major branches of the professional infantry army and the cavalry.

The Guards Division manages the training and deployment of all guards.

The Department of Government Soldiers is in charge of the training and recruitment of government soldiers in various places.

The Ordnance Superintendent is responsible for the development and manufacture of new weapons.

The Joint Logistics Division procures military supplies in a unified manner.

The Judge Advocate General's Office has the power to impose penalties on generals at all levels who violate military law.

The Military Supervision Department is only responsible for the ideological education of non-commissioned officers and the supervision of generals at all levels.

None of the above divisions has the right to transfer troops, and the right to transfer troops is temporarily in Wei Shuo's hands.

The chief officers of each division are: the Military Division (Duan Ye), the Infantry Military Division (Li Wei), the Cavalry Division (Wei Shuo concurrently), the Guards Division (Kang Long), the Fu Bing Department (Du Jin, who also serves as the Governor of Shazhou), the Ordnance Supervision (Wei Shuo concurrently), the Joint Logistics Department (Duan Ye concurrently), the Military Judge Advocate Office (Wei Shuo concurrently), and the Military Supervision Department (Xu Zhao)

Although each department has a chief officer, only the two major Sima left and right vacancies in the General's Mansion.

For these two positions, Wei Shuo already had a favorite candidate in his heart, but one of them was forcibly left in the Central Plains by Zhai Zhao and could not enter an inch, and the other was still in the army in Later Qin.
