The capital of the Great Wu Emperor, Jinling City.

In November, the beginning of the winter season, although it has not yet snowed, but the temperature has suddenly become colder, under the cold wind, the people in the streets and alleys are wearing cotton jackets, but the flow of people on the streets is not less, but more and more.

The end of the year is approaching, a lot of work in the court needs to be summed up, and naturally many officials in the local area have begun to return to Jinling City one by one to report on their work.

Cabinet Hall.

In the ninth year of the Warring States period, the local county government affairs summary meeting was held.

Most of the local county guards were present.

On the circular conference table, several floors were filled inside and out, and the crowds were surging, and the voices were boiling, and the cabinet ministers were sitting solemnly at the front, and the county guards from all over the country were sitting in the back.

Of course, this does not include the officials of the land of the four states that the imperial court has just obtained.

The Great Wu Dynasty has just taken over these places, not to mention the officials of the counties below, even if they are the governors of a state, they are too busy talking and can't leave at all!

"Next, Nanhai County!"

"The development of our Nanhai County this year is mainly in road construction, mainly in ......"

"Next, Gaoshan County of Yizhou!"

"This year, we in Gaoshan County are mainly devoting our energy to agricultural land reclamation, and we have contacted the land reclamation ......."

“……”

The local summary meeting, which lasted for about three days in a row, finally entered the final summary today.

"This year, the development of various places is very rapid, and the pioneering ability is very strong, I am very satisfied, but there is one thing that I am very dissatisfied, I admit that this year's territory military is fighting too hard and expanding too fast. But now that they have been defeated, if the cabinet management can't keep up, it's a big problem! ”

Emperor Sun Quan sat in the first place, and carefully opened the details in his hand: "The information sent by these gods and goddesses, take Julu County in Jizhou as an example, a month. Of the 127 criminal cases registered by the Divine Arrest Division, only 32 have been cracked, and only 17 have been arrested.

Do you want to tell Jizhou that our Great Wu Dynasty can't control a small giant deer?

And you all know very well in your hearts that this is not just a problem of Julu or Jizhou, among the four prefectures of Hebei, Qingdao, Henan, and Yan, not to mention the cases piled up by the old county government, it is after we take over. There are countless outbreaks of infiltration, blackmail, interception, and so on.

This is a big problem of order.

If the order is not guaranteed, what do you let the people below believe in our Great Wu Imperial Court.

It has not been a short time since we took these places, and order has not been restored until now, why is that? Is it that we have no one to take care of the people? ”

Sun Quan's voice was sharp. Hit the depths of the hearts of every cabinet minister.

"Your Majesty, we did our best!"

The ministers heard this. couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces smiled slightly wryly.

They have tried their best, but the territory of the Great Wu Dynasty is already broad enough, extending to the Western Regions, and now they have accepted the land of the four states of Hebei, Qingdao, Henan, and Yan at once, such a large territory. There is a serious shortage of officials.

The old and new systems are alternated, the power is handed over, and there are not enough talents to suppress it, so it is natural that some local management will not be stable.

There are also many people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

Some people even watched Wu Chao be busy and couldn't take care of them, and their hearts were crossed. After a few votes, there will naturally be more and more people robbing homes.

Although the core city can be stabilized by the strong strength of the military, the management of various small places will have to come step by step, which is an unavoidable problem.

"Try your best, I don't want this answer, Gao Ming, you are the new Shangshu of the Criminal Department, let's talk about it!"

Sun Quan looked at this new Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and said coldly: "You just tell me, when will the order in the country be restored in the land of the four states?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Criminal Department is willing to make a military order, and within half a year, my Divine Arrest Division will mobilize with all its might, and we will definitely clean up these ruffians, bandits and bandits, and restore order among the local people!"

Gao Ming heard Sun Quan's roll call, and quickly stood up.

He could feel that the eyes in the entire conference hall were looking at him, and the responsibility in his heart was very heavy, so he gritted his teeth and directly issued a military order.

As a newly appointed secretary of the Criminal Department, he is very young, and this alone is enough to attract jealousy.

At this time, if you don't have any results, you will soon become a target for attack.

So catch the ducks and get on the sedan chair, and you have to get on it.

"Half a year?"

Hearing this, Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, thought about it, and then said calmly: "Commercial development, economic development, and people's livelihood development all depend on whether the order is stable enough, if there is no good order in the local area, nothing can develop, since you have issued a military order, I have promised, I will also give you a right to the Criminal Department, as long as you need it, you can ask the military officers and soldiers to assist, but if after half a year, the Criminal Department can't let the local people have a sunny day, you will be dismissed from the Criminal Department!" ”

"Yes!"

Gao Ming nodded without hesitation.

With the assistance of military officers and soldiers, coupled with the power of the Divine Capture Division, there is absolutely no problem for his criminal department to clean up the land of the four states of Qingji, Henan, and Yan.

"Zhang Shoufu, this year's local development is very good, but the cabinet is a little messy, you look at these national debt and tax accounts look a little messy, the cabinet must grasp this aspect tightly, can not let some greedy people, take advantage of the mess to make some moths!"

Sun Quan continued to dig out a dossier, looked at it carefully, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, because this year's Kwantung War has caused us to have a big financial deficit, so there is also a bit of chaos on the reverse side of fiscal taxes and national debts!"

Zhang Zhao also knew that this problem would be named, so he hurriedly analyzed it, and said: "But Weichen promises that the people of our cabinet will never use the imperial court capital at this juncture, and after December, our cabinet will personally form a household audit team to check these accounts, and if there are problematic officials, we will not cover up." ”

"It's best if you can check the accounts yourself, and if the inspection team of the Anti-Corruption Division of Yushitai is tired of entering, don't blame me for not giving face to your cabinet!"

Sun Quan said coldly.

Greed is an original sin, human nature. No matter how clear the court is, this is inevitable, but what Sun Quan has to do is to put on an absolutely anti-corruption attitude, so as to suppress countless people who want to reach out.

So in this regard, he will not show mercy.

"Yes!"

When the minister in this conference hall heard this, his eyes suddenly became serious. Covered in cold sweat.

In particular, several powerful ministers in the cabinet knew very well in their hearts that if they allowed people from the inspection team of the Anti-Corruption Department of the Imperial Historical Observatory to enter the country, they would say that this action would cause a reaction from all over the country, regardless of whether there was a problem with the cabinet's accounts.

At that time, the face of the cabinet will be lost.

The imperial court system of the Great Wu Dynasty, the cabinet, the military aircraft department, the imperial history platform, and the troika went hand in hand. The two sides of the military and the government, the cabinet and the military aircraft department, have nothing to do with each other, and each performs its own duties.

On the contrary, the Imperial Historical Observatory is the least powerful, they do not participate in the military strategy, nor will they intervene in the affairs of the cabinet, but they also have the greatest rights, whether it is the head of the military aircraft of the military, or the first assistant of the cabinet. They can all be supervised.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that this year's Kanto War. It's a little sad for you this year, but I hope that you ministers can be worthy of your position, this honor, and try your best to restore the economy and restore the hope of the people's lives! ”

Sun Quan raised his head and swept his eyes. Looking at the faces of the council room, he said instructively.

"Obey Your Majesty's will, for the prosperity and prosperity of the Great Wu Dynasty, and die!"

The ministers had solemn faces and nodded their heads.

"Alright. I still have a meeting on the side of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and the cabinet meeting will continue to be held, and we must discuss all the shortcomings of this year, so that next year the cabinet can better lead the people of the world to a better life! ”

Sun Quan turned his head, looked at the time marked by the hourglass next to him, stood up, packed up the file, and walked out of the main hall.

"Your Majesty has hit the powerful man hard enough today!"

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, Sun Quan's prestige is getting stronger and stronger, and the positions he is doing are a little smaller, and the county guards are obviously a little out of breath, and the cabinet minister Wu Jing looked at Sun Quan's back and said in a deep voice.

Sun Quan: This is beating their cabinet.

"Your Majesty, this is to show that he is very dissatisfied with the work of our cabinet this year!"

Zhang Zhao's face was also a little bitter, and he squinted slightly: "Although it is understandable that this year, because of the Kwantung Campaign, coupled with the expansion of a large territory, our cabinet is in a hurry, but our cabinet does have a big mistake in terms of sudden time response, which needs to be vigilant!" ”

"The most important thing is that we must not let those generals in the Military Aircraft Department be underestimated!"

Zhang Zhao thought for a while, and added: "The territory that the military officers and soldiers have fought down with countless lives, if our cabinet can't manage it well, doesn't this make the military laugh?" Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we must try our best to sort out the order of the four prefectures of Hebei, Henan, Qingdao and Yan. ”

"Lord Shoufu, this really can't blame us, the territory is expanding too fast, we can't keep up at all, it takes time from Cao Wei to our Dawu management system, and the management place is to have talents, the whole four states, where do we have so many talents!"

Gu Yong, the secretary of the ministry, complained bitterly, and he directly handed over more than a dozen documents in his hand: "Look at it, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, they are all asking for people now, how can I have so many talents, didn't you find that the nearest Hanlin Academy didn't even have a figure, they were all given to them!" ”

"This is not a reason, if there are no scholars from Hallym University, then go and recruit Jinshi, and if the number of Jinshi is insufficient, go and recruit Xiucai!"

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was also a little embarrassed in his heart, but he was ruthless, and he also made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Since the establishment of Jiangdong Academy, I have been a scholar in the vast land of Wu, and I can't find talents. ”

"March Spring?"

When Cheng Dao, the director of the Department of Education, heard this, his eyes crossed a glint of essence, and he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Shoufu, I will definitely handle this matter well!" ”

There are imperial examinations every year, but they are all township examinations, county examinations, or county examinations, and the national imperial examinations were originally held every three years, and next year it will be the big imperial examinations.

"Also, county guards, at present, your local order is stable, and I believe that there are some talents in your hands who are recommended to come up, so at this time, we don't care about the conflict between the imperial examination and the recommendation system. We have to do it, make good use of talents, and after we go back, everyone will nominate a county talent, and two county-level talents will come up! ”

Zhang Zhao's eyes were sharp, looking at the surrounding county guards. It's time to see the dagger.

In previous years, the general meeting of the local government was held in December, but this year, it was held in early November, in order to get people out of the hands of these people.

"Shousuke-sama, this is too ruthless!"

"You're planning to poach people from us!"

"I knew that after the meeting a few days ago, we would run away!"

"I can't push it off this time!"

The county guards are very unhappy, they want to have political achievements, they must manage their own one-third of an acre of land, and develop a good place, which is naturally inseparable from talents.

"Lu Shangshu, your household department should try to clean up these accounts before the New Year, if there is really a problem. Corrupt officials can't stay, just like His Majesty said, if this matter is to let the Yushitai intervene, then this year, none of us need to come! ”

Zhang Zhaoke didn't care about their complaints, and directly changed the topic of this matter.

"Yes!"

Lu Su's eyes flashed with a fierce color.

――――――――――――

Afternoon.

Military Aircraft Pavilion.

At the end of the year, things are always a little more, and the morning cabinet meeting has just ended. In the afternoon, Sun Quan went to the Military Aircraft Pavilion to observe the ordinary military aircraft meeting held this time.

Today's military aircraft meeting is to discuss the protective measures for soldiers after winter. After the winter becomes colder, the soldiers will have the problem of declining combat effectiveness, especially in the winter in the north, the weather is very cold, icy and snowy, and the weapons in their hands are cold and cold. The armor on his body is cold and cold, and it is very uncomfortable to wear armor and hold soldiers.

Sun Quan was just observing, and Zhao Yun, who was knocked out of the sky and is now just a small recruit instructor, was all he attended the military aircraft meeting.

"Zilong, I saw you get married some time ago. It's in good spirits, but you've been miserable again lately, and the shadow of the battle in Runan hasn't passed yet! ”

The two sat next to them, listening to the words of Cheng Pu, Zhou Yu and others, and after half a ring, Sun Quan turned his head, looked at Zhao Yun with a blank face, and asked.

"Your Majesty, can I get by with the death of hundreds of thousands of sons in battle?"

When Zhao Yun said this, his breath became cold, the Central Army was almost wiped out, he saw the soldiers wailing in the water, but he couldn't save it, his heart was like a knife, all thoughts were lost, and his heart was dead.

Sometimes he would rather that Sun Quan not only demoted him, but also cut him with a knife.

Then he will feel a little better.

"You can't do it in this state!"

Sun Quan sighed and said calmly: "There has never been a leading general in this world who is undefeated, and you will be disheartened if you lose for such a while!" ”

"I feel a little sorry for those dead soldiers!"

Zhao Yun said gloomily.

"One will make ten thousand bones dry!"

Sun Quan's amber eyes looked at Zhao Yun, and said meaningfully: "If I say that those sons and daughters who died in battle died to make you Zhao Zilong a peerless general, would you feel a little better!" ”

"A peerless general? Do I, Zhao Yun, still have this ability? ”

Zhao Yun was confused, and the battle of Runan destroyed all his arrogance and shook his undefeated confidence.

"Zilong, they are dead, but you are still alive, if you can't become the prestige of this peerless general, what face do you have to see them in the future, are they dead in vain?"

Sun Quan said coldly.

"Your Majesty is right, if I am so sluggish, even if I die in the future, what kind of face do I have to see them!"

Zhao Yun trembled, and the light in his eyes focused bit by bit.

Sun Quan didn't pay attention to him anymore, when it came to this, what could be solved had already been solved, if he couldn't think about this problem himself, then he would only be a recruit leader for the rest of his life.

"This batch of cotton clothes has been given to you Blood Wolf Legion, what are we wearing in the Flying Tiger Legion?"

"It's cold in the north, and my Blood Wolf Legion wants priority, is this too much?"

"Joke, I'm not in the north of the Flame Legion! Last time, the imperial court changed the winter armor, considering the situation in the north, it has already given priority to the two legions of blood wolves and lions, and this year's new cotton clothes are also our turn to the Flame Legion! ”

“……”

The military aircraft council is becoming more and more intense, the distribution of military quartermasters in winter is a big problem, the logistics quartermasters of each legion have returned, this kind of military council is not as soft as the cabinet meeting, they are all fierce soldiers, the quarrel is very fierce, and the use of force in this military aircraft cabinet has appeared several times.

Sun Quan just sat quietly listening to the discussion at the military aircraft meeting, looking at this picture, his heart could not be a little proud, he created a good military ruling pattern.

The most difficult thing about the military system, both ancient and modern, is the coordination between the local and central governments.

If the central authorities are too strong, they will point fingers at every turn, and military orders will be issued one hurdle after another, which will lead to the slow movement of local armies, the actions of the commanders in checks and balances, the failure of combat effectiveness, and even the fact that laymen command insiders.

However, if the central government cannot rule the military power in various places, it will lead to the loss of deterrent power of the imperial court, so that the local army officers and soldiers will not have the core strength, and the local army will lose its respect for the imperial court, and will resist, which will be even worse.

Today, the system of the Wu Dynasty's Military Aircraft Department is not the best, but it has achieved an effect beyond the times in terms of coordination.

The regular army of the Wu army has nine major corps, and adopts the system of commander sovereignty and staff adjutant general.

The commander has sovereignty, but each chief of staff is carefully selected with the imperial staff, and there will never be a problem in terms of loyalty.

The central government controls the absolute right to mobilize troops and horses, but the measurement of command power in wartime is very lax, allowing the commanders and commanders to give full play to their abilities.

It's a check and balance.

After the meeting, Zhou Yu left Sun Quan behind and discussed the war in the west, Sun Quan saw that Zhao Zilong was more or less spirited, and took him to the official office of the General Staff Department.

"Your Majesty, the situation in the west is a bit deadlocked!" Zhou Yu said.

"Stalemate?"

Sun Quan sat down and asked suspiciously, "What kind of situation, isn't it going well?" ”

"The first battle report came back, on Jinyue Beach, Zhuge Liang used the strategy of luring the enemy and destroyed tens of thousands of cavalry of the Wei army, but it also hurt the Wei army, shrunk back, and defended the city!" Zhuge Liang said analytically: "And Zhuge Liang Chen said that they were not willing to attack the defense, they thought that the casualties were too great, and they wanted to use the strategy of attacking the east and the west to lure the Wei army to divide the troops!" ”

"Wei Jun is not fooled?" Sun Quan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's right!"

Zhou Yu said: "So the current battle situation is a bit stalemate, I am afraid that if the battle drags on like this, the next battle will be more and more unfavorable to us, and now that it is winter, the weather will be colder and colder!" ”

"Zilong, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, now that the big war has been handed over to them to fight, the Military Aircraft Department should believe them, if they point fingers at this time, it may not be a good thing, and it will even affect their strategic deployment!"

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and his eyes kept a touch of essence: "What the military aircraft department wants is the battle record, as for the process of fighting, it depends on their performance!" ”

"Hehe, I love to hear this!"

Sun Quan nodded: "Gong Jin, you put aside the battle situation on the western battlefield, let Zhuge Liang think about it, I believe that he can win, and you and the General Staff still focus on the deployment of the frontal battlefield, although I know that the Wei army should not be stupid to meet the battle, I am afraid that this battle in the west will anger Cao Cao, this kind of person is crazy, sometimes it will be unexpected, and I have to guard against it!" ”

"Wechen understands!"

Zhou Yu's heart moved, he became vigilant, and nodded his head. (To be continued.) )

PS: 5,000 words big change, there is no more tonight, and I will make up for it tomorrow morning!
