Seeing Pang Tongyi's inexplicable face, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but smile and said: "When this matter was in Chengdu, Brother Wei had already discussed it with Kong Ming once, but now Xichuan has made a decision, so he will reform the rule of officials and put it down." ”

Pang Tong thought for a moment, and said to Pang Shanmin: "I want to hear about it." ”

"For example, Zhang Yongnian, Pang plans to transfer him to Jingnan in the future." Seeing that Pang Tong was not clear, Pang Shanmin said to himself: "Although Zhang Song is talented, his strength is narrower, and he is afraid that he will not be able to handle the land of a county, and he is too guarded, such as Kong Ming and Gongyan, a humble and cautious person, if it is not for the time to pacify Xichuan, the time is still short, and the meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and Pang Mou will not stay in Ba County." ”

When Pang Tong heard this, he thought about it, but he heard the Pang Shanmin laugh and said: "Shiyuan, don't forget, we planned before, although it is an important matter to conquer the city and conquer the city in troubled times, but our original intention is to return the world to a prosperous world, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so Pang Mou wants to put this matter of governing the government on the agenda." ”

Pang Tong heard that there was no argument, nodded his head, and said: "It's just that the rule of officials is not an overnight effort, Jingzhou, Yizhou, compared to the north, are congenitally insufficient, and the Tong is just worried, if this goes on for a long time, the land of Erzhou will follow in the footsteps of Liu Biao, and the elder brother must know that it is not advisable to love the people and raise soldiers." ”

"There is no contradiction between raising soldiers and raising soldiers." Pang Shanmin couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Although Shiyuan's concerns are reasonable, Shiyuan should know where the advantages of Jingzhou and Yizhou lie." Now Pang has jurisdiction over the land of two states, if the land is vast, that is, Cao Cao is not as good as me before pacifying Hebei, if the tax is reduced, the family is restrained, and the people under the rule are not worried about the uncultivated land, Pang has been able to use the area for several years, operating the two states, and then no matter what else, only about money and grain, Pang can be the head of the princes in the world. ”

Pang Tong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "But you must always have the ability to keep this money and food." ”

"So when it comes to the rule of officials, Pang thinks that when the military and government are separated, and talents are recruited to explore capable officials." Speaking of this, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but sigh, and said to Pang Tong: "In the past, Liu Yan mentioned that he was too in charge of the military and political affairs of a county, which made it too important to be controlled and difficult to control. ”

Pang Tong was silent for a long time, and said to Pang Shanmin: "I am not proficient in this matter, but my brother should not follow in the footsteps of Wang Mang......

Pang Shanmin heard this, couldn't help laughing, it seems that in the end it is still difficult for Pang Tong to calm down, peace of mind to manage the land of the two states, for Pang Tong, the management of the state and county is more common and trivial, his interest is not in this at all, what Pang Tong is looking forward to is to lead the army to go out, and the actual combat strategy and other princes against the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but smile and said: "Since it is difficult for Yu Changsha Shiyuan to feel at ease, then Pang Mou made Shiyuan and seized Xinye, how about guarding the border?" ”

When Pang Tong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said to Pang Shanmin: "Xinye Town, adjacent to Runan, if Pang guards here, there will be no war." ”

"Don't easily provoke Cao Cao......" Pang Shanmin couldn't help but blank Pang Tong's eyes when he heard this, and said to Pang Tong: "Now that Liu Bei is in Xinye's forces, he exists in name only, Pang can find a reason, expel Sun Qian, and Jian Yong defected to Jiangxia, but Shi Yuan should know that in Xinye, the place of right and wrong, protecting himself is the most important thing." ”

Pang Tong nodded when he heard this, took the official document on the case, and looked at Pang Shanmin sketching the edict with blank eyes, Pang Shanmin saw that Pang Tong was impatient, nodded, wrote the order, and sighed softly: "Shi Yuan is leaving, Pang Mou's side is also a lot cleaner, but Shi Yuan should remember what his brother said before, whether it is Cao Cao or Guan Yu, don't take the initiative to provoke, although Cao Cao will invest his troops in Hebei, it is not something we can easily provoke now, and Guan Yu, Pang Mou wants to make him beware of Sun Quan and consume each other." ”

Pang Tong saw that Pang Shanmin said solemnly, restrained his expression, nodded, and took the order, while Pang Shanmin smiled bitterly and spread out the reform of official governance that Pang Tong disdained, thinking about how to gradually improve it.

Pang Shanmin is not naïve to think that the rule of officials can be accomplished overnight, in the minds of Pang Shanmin, only the four counties of Jingnan, the officials are qualified, Jingzhou, the rest of the counties in Yizhou, there are quite a lot of mistakes.

In the past two years of operation, Shi Tao, Meng Jian and others, a good completion of the connection with the Jingnan barbarians, now under its rule, the barbarians are as close as a family, this expedition to Xichuan, the barbarians in order to repay the past kindness, sent 10,000 troops to accompany them, this is the Wuxi barbarians and Jingnan barbarians do their best, the soldiers and horses provided, that is, the Pang Shanmin is also grateful for the help provided by the Jingnan barbarians.

And the barbarians sent troops to help, not because of the prestige of Shi Tao and the people among the barbarians, so that the people under his rule can live a prosperous life, and the convincing Taishou is the capable officials that the Pang Shanmin need, and there are obviously too few such capable officials.

Take Changsha as an example, under Jiang Wan's careful management, the merchants in the past were like clouds, and the people were rich, which was not much better than Jiangling, which was unimaginable when Han Xuan ruled Changsha before.

Although Erkui is quite capable, but the two of them are strong, they are mostly detained by the family, although they have quite a lot of political achievements in Xiangyang, they can be compared to Jiang Wan and others, but they are inferior, as for Jiangling Wenpin, Wang Wei, Xiangyang's way of governing is completely copied, after all, for military generals, Pang Shanmin originally did not expect him to innovate......

Jing Xiang is like this, not to mention Yizhou, although the counties of Yizhou are too guarded, and a lot of them have been replaced, but this is only a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng are talented, but Pang Shanmin is not naïve to think that let these two people work hard to stabilize the land of a state, and Yizhou is initially decided, and the rule of officials needs to be gradual and gradual, Pang Shanmin can only hope that Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng can give full play to their personality charm and attract talents to help......

Pang Shanmin frowned and pondered, thinking for a long time, thinking about the bureaucratic system of all dynasties, there was no very good solution to the rule of officials, whether it was Jiupin Zhongzheng or three provinces and six departments, such a change is not suitable for the current Jing and Yierzhou.

In a troubled era when there was no bureaucratic appraisal system, Pang Shanmin wanted to reform the bureaucratic system, and they all became a little helpless.

At least after following Cao Cao's recruitment order, he always has to come up with some more effective recruitment methods than Cao Cao.

It wasn't until the sky outside the window was dark that Pang Shanmin could put away his pen, looking at the neat lines of handwriting on the bamboo paper, Pang Shanmin smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: It's time to find Xiangyang Erkui and discuss the reform of this official.
