Chapter 255: Government Affairs
After a long absence, the newlywed, it was night, Zhao Xun, who was in a good mood, was mighty, Wushan Yunyu was full of spring, and the two wives were fed, and they haunted the two rooms all night. The cold weather in winter made Zhao Xun feel very unhappy, if it weren't for the thin-skinned nature of the two women, he would want to sleep together, and he wouldn't let himself brave the cold to run back and forth.
When he woke up in the morning, looked at his arm around him, and looked at his face with a shallow smile, Zhao Xun suddenly felt that he was strong again. took a deep breath, kissed Li Ruolan sideways, gently removed her arm, and turned over. Li Ruolan pouted and continued to sleep deeply.
In the cold weather, Zhao Xun danced the spear for a while as always, and after breakfast, he asked the heads of the departments to rush to the Governor's Mansion to prepare for the discussion.
When Zhao Xun arrived, everyone had already been ordered to arrive, in addition to Yang Wangqing's four newly attached talents, Situ Liang, Lu Ziliang, Xue Lang, Director of the Land and Household Registration Department, Gao Tu, Director of the Supervision Department, Xu He, Director of the Taxation Department, Hu Yi, Director of the Finance Department, Pei Yi, Chief Secretary for Administration, Shen Meng, Director of the Commerce and Trade Department, and Zhang Jun, Director of the Logistics Department, also arrived.
Zhao Xun first introduced the four Yang Wangqing who had newly joined the Huolin Army system, and then praised and recognized the merits of everyone present. At the same time, Zhao Xun also saw Lu Ziliang, who had given himself a lot of advice. Lu Ziliang looks no more than twenty-three or four, with a handsome face, and looks like a literati, in Zhao Xun's words, this kid is not bad.
"This is a great victory on both the north and the south, in addition to the courage of the front-line soldiers to kill the enemy, but also the credit of all of you, it is the result of everyone's cooperation, we can win the victory in the case of the war between the north and the south at the same time. Similarly, it is precisely because of your efforts that we have completely gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou Mansion, and as for Yingzhou Mansion, I think it is no problem. Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"However, there are good and bad, after investigation, the county officials of our ministry, because there is no coordination of higher-level officials, some affairs that require the cooperation of neighboring counties or several counties, can not (harmonious?) ) is executed normally. In this regard, some people mentioned that above the county, the government officials should be established to coordinate the affairs of the counties. Similarly, for some reason, most of the officials under our rule are new, and a large part of them have no real experience as officials, and they have not handled some things well. But it doesn't matter, people are growing step by step. However, in the future, the Supervision Department will increase its supervision of the officials under its jurisdiction, and I don't want it to grow in its ability and selfish desires. ”
Gao Tu, director of the Supervision Department, immediately stood up and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the Supervision Department will definitely not relax its supervision of county officials, and those who dare to abuse their power for personal gain will be severely punished by their subordinates." ”
Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Director Gao is doing things, I am naturally relieved." ”
"What do you think about the establishment of a government at the level of the government?"
Chief Secretary for Administration Pei Yi took the lead in saying: "My subordinates think it is feasible, as the war stops, all places will enter a period of recuperation, and some places will also expand and develop as planned. Because of responsibilities, benefits, etc., without the coordination and instructions of the higher-level officials, there will definitely be chaos and entanglements. Although each division can give instructions to the counties, after all, it is not obvious that they have to bear all the places under the rule of the Huolin Army, and if the Yingzhou government is counted, it will make it more difficult for the departments to implement and count. Therefore, the subordinates believe that this matter is imperative. ”
The directors of the other departments also agreed, and all of them established a government-level official office. Besides, the original Yingzhou Mansion still exists, although it has no real power, but it also has some not very good influences, so it is necessary to establish a new Assassin Mansion or act on behalf of the Assassin History.
As for Situ Liang and Lu Ziliang, they agreed loudly, but their opinion was to establish a new official office of the Assassin's Mansion, merge with the original Assassin's Mansion, and act as the Assassin's Mansion. As for the original officials of the Assassin's Mansion, they were all raised as the old masters who cultivated officials for the Huolin Army, but they did not eliminate the list of their Assassin's Mansion. In this way, it will not have a bad impact on the outside world, so as not to attract suppression and fierce reactions from the imperial court.
After Zhao Xun saw that everyone expressed their opinions, he made a decision: "Since this is the case, then establish a government official." The title is Fu Yin, which is equivalent to the original history of the state capital. In addition, there are one person who participates in the military and three people who record the officer, and there are also one person who joins the army, such as Si Gong, Si Cang, Si Hu, Si Tian, Si Bing, Judicial, and Si Shi, which is the same as the original system of the Assassin Mansion. Zhu Cao's participation in the army is in charge of the military, political, county, military, finance, criminal law, farmland and household grain affairs of each state capital, and Zhu Cao's participation in the army is under the jurisdiction of the state records and military affairs, and the records are responsible. He joined the army as a comprehensive inspector. As for the city order, Cheng, literature, medicine, etc., these people, just use the original, of course, if they don't cooperate, then replace them. ”
"Pei Yi, you are the Chief Secretary for Administration, there are suitable candidates, Yanzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion need two governors."
Pei Yizhan stood up and said respectfully: "Back to your lord's words, my subordinates think that Yin of Yingzhou Mansion should have Feng Guo, deputy director of the administrative secretary. Feng Guo is upright and careful, meticulous in his work, and good at reassuring the people, and this person can serve as the newly incorporated Yingzhou Governor Yin. As for Yanzhou Mansion, because of the long period of governance, it is only necessary to continue the previous policy, and the government Yin is honest and honest, and Liu Cheng and Hong Sheng, the chief of the administrative department, can do so. ”
Zhao Xun also had some understanding of the officials of the various departments, pondered for a moment, and made a decision: "That's good, Yin Fengguo, the capital of Yingzhou, although Yingzhou City has not yet been taken, it is no longer a problem. Yanzhou Mansion Yin has Liu Cheng, this person is good at management, I hope he can run Yanzhou Mansion and become our rear. As for the adjutant under his jurisdiction, after the divisions have summed up, they will report to me, and the appointment will be made at that time. ”
"After the appointment is issued, Yanzhou Mansion Yin is going to go to the Assassin's Mansion to work, as for those old officials of the Assassin's Mansion, they will all be placed in the back office, it's really not good, just build a few courtyards next to the Assassin's Mansion and let them cultivate in it. Externally, it was declared that Fu Yin was the adjutant of the Assassin Mansion at this time, and temporarily represented the Assassin History. ”
"In addition, the divisions have officially become a system above the government secretary, and from now on, the chief secretary for administration is in charge of all government affairs under the rule of Huo Linjun, and the rest of the departments are subordinate units of the chief secretary. There is no chief secretary for administration, but a political envoy. The Chief Secretary for Administration is directly under the Huolin Army and is only responsible to himself, and the departments under the jurisdiction of the Chief Secretary are actually responsible for all government affairs of the Huolin Army, and are responsible to the Political Envoy of the Chief Secretary for Administration, and can also report to me. ”
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Zhao inquired about the meaning of these words, and the political envoy became the highest official in the political affairs of the Huolin Army, commanding the government affairs of the two governments, and the various departments were also isolated from the localities, no longer dealing with local affairs on the spot, and would be supervised and interdepended by the local supervisors. In other words, the current secretary of administration is the small court of Zhao Xun to deal with government affairs.
After glancing at everyone, Zhao Xun said again: "For the time being, Pei Yi, Situ Liang, Lu Ziliang, and Yang Wangzhen are the political envoys of the Government Affairs Department. The transfer of officials can only be appointed after the inspection by the Supervision Department and the Shadow Guard. ”
Zhao Xun's words made everyone think deeply for a while, but as for what everyone thought in their hearts, Zhao Xun didn't care. Situ Liang was secretly happy in his heart, Zhao Xun is now beginning to replace the official system of Yanzhou Mansion and Yingzhou Mansion step by step, and set up his own government office, in other words, the land of the two governments belongs to the Huolin Army, and no longer belongs to the Yan State. Of course, on the surface, it is still the Huolin Army that defeated the armies of the Yan Ya Army, and it is a big hero.
"Although this battle was a great victory, it also stretched the economy of our two provinces, and the logistics and supplies and grain and grass were also extremely empty. If it weren't for the seizure of some of the big landlords a few months ago, I am afraid that the soldiers would have been guarding Baixian County on a hungry stomach a long time ago. Therefore, in the future, we will turn to the restoration of the economy and agriculture, and focus on development, that is, to start a war, and it will also be a small-scale operation, and we will not fight on a large scale, let alone fight on two or multiple fronts. ”
"Yang Wangzhen, who inspected various places on my behalf, gave me his opinion, saying that the official roads in various counties could be repaired at this time. I thought about it and thought it was feasible. In the past six months, there have been continuous wars and chaos, and there are many victims, although the Yingzhou Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture have basically rested, but there are still two prefectures that are still in turmoil, and there are not a few victims who have fled to the two prefectures. Although the arrival of the victims here can increase the population of the two provinces, it also increases the pressure on us. We can't just keep them for nothing, so cash-for-work is a good idea. Let them contribute labor to repair the official roads, and at the same time, we will help the victims, and at the same time, we can also cut off some accidents. ”
"More importantly, let them survive this period of no source of livelihood, and by next spring, we can distribute the land and distribute the seeds, so that they can settle down and become a member of the Huolin Army. In the same way, the official roads of the counties will also be renewed, which will be a great help to both merchants and the transfer of troops. As for this matter, it was mainly carried out by the two prefectures and the counties, and each department sent personnel to assist in carrying it out. ”
"This is a great good!" Situ Liang said: "Pingzhou Mansion and Jizhou Mansion do not want the northern disaster victims to enter the country, so we can publicize the name of benevolence and righteousness of our Huolin Army, which is extremely beneficial to us." In addition to Shunzhou Mansion and Weizhou Mansion, even the three northeastern prefectures occupied by the Yan army also have the southern front of the people and enter our territory, which shows that the reputation of the Huolin Army is far and wide, and even the three eastern provinces that have been occupied by the Yan army for three years are already known. My lord, my subordinates think that we should say hello to Haizhou Mansion so that the people and disaster victims who are going south can pass through its territory. ”
"I don't think the history of this Haizhou Mansion will agree." Gao Tu, director of the Supervision Department, shook his head and said that as an old official of Yanzhou Mansion, he still has a certain understanding of Haizhou Mansion on his side. Haizhou Mansion is not large, but the sea trade is convenient and prosperous, they will not allow the victims to enter, especially the victims in the three eastern prefectures, who knows what will happen.
Situ Liang smiled and said: "As an official of the imperial court, as a parent official, you can't work for the welfare of the people, and you should be killed regardless of the life and death of the people!" Perhaps, the people who were blocked would do something irrational under the excitement of the masses, and when the time comes, we will be the only ones who can lend a hand. ”
Everyone is not stupid, speaking of which, how can everyone not understand that Situ Liang is looking at the money of the Shanghai Prefecture, of course, the territory is no exception.
Zhao Xun nodded secretly, he was also salivating for Haizhou Mansion, a rich place in the north, as for how to operate, he still had to plan carefully.
"In this battle of Baixian County, we captured 11,000 prisoners, except for a few who were seriously injured and disabled, more than 10,000 people were basically strong and able. How to arrange it? This is not a small problem, first of all, we need to divide it according to race, the orthodox Tatar people, can only go to the mines, for us to mine minerals. In addition to these, there are six or seven thousand other ethnic groups, how to resettle? Joining the army, naturally, is impossible, and we can't afford to raise so many troops. Even if you can afford it, you can't raise so many alien troops. It's a pity that we all went to the mining site and arrived again, and besides, we don't have that much iron to mine for the time being. ”
"My lord, why don't you do this, absorb some of them like the army, and train cavalry for the army. Some of the people who are good at raising horses are placed in Yanbei Horse Farm to herd horses for us, and we have captured a lot of war horses this time. The remaining part will be dispersed and busy with the others, repairing the official road, as for how to deal with it in the future, and depending on the changes in the situation. Yang Wangqing said.
"Good! Just do as you say, the ministries will assist, Yang Wangqing, you are returning from the north, these captives will be handed over to you in charge, and the ministries will assist you, so don't cause any trouble. ”
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely solve this matter well." Yang Wangqing was overjoyed, and now he has also been recognized by Zhao Xun.
