Chapter 44 Appointment of the County Warden
"My lord,"
Xun Yu said eloquently: "The reason why my Yanzhou economy will be affected by the Liangzhou gold coin is because the monetary system of the Han Dynasty has long collapsed. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo was based in Guanzhong, and wantonly minted new five-baht coins, the process was rough, and there was a shortage of catties and two, which made the folk five-baht coins flood. At the time of Emperor Ling's reign, the highest price of grain was only a hundred dollars and one stone. But after Dong Zhuo minted and issued new five-baht coins without restrictions, the price of one stone of coarse grain soared to hundreds of dollars or even more than a thousand yuan, and refined grain was even more expensive! The five-baht dollar depreciated, and due to the war, people's livelihood was destroyed, and grain production fell sharply. People harvest less and less food, but it is more and more expensive to buy, which creates more and more displaced people, and also exacerbates the turmoil in the world. â
The more Cao Cao and the others listened, the more they felt that it made sense.
Especially Guo Jia, who is not good at economic and internal affairs, also changed his drunken appearance, his eyes widened, and he listened with clear eyes.
"Nowadays, my Yanzhou follows the currency system of the Han Dynasty, which inherits this hidden danger. People don't believe in five-baht coins, but they have a soft spot for Liangzhou gold coins. After a long time, the economy of Yanzhou will be greatly affected by Liangzhou, and even be sued. Once Li Chongxiao makes a move in this regard, it may cause great turmoil! When the time comes, Yanzhou's economy will collapse, and the people's livelihood will be helpless, and it will be self-defeating! â
"Shhh
Cao Cao couldn't help but take a breath and hurriedly said, "Is there a solution?" â
"Yes!"
Xun Yu said solemnly: "The only way is to establish our own perfect monetary system, and only in this way can we compete with Liangzhou." â
"So," Cao Cao pondered: "Should my Yanzhou follow the example of Liangzhou and reform the monetary system?" â
"The lord is wise!"
Not to mention how Cao Cao reformed the monetary system, but said that after Li Zheng learned the news, he sighed again and again.
"Xun Wenruo is talented!"
In the midst of sighs, there are regrets.
Although Xun Yu is also a strong man, and in terms of government affairs, he is also considered top-notch, but he is not as good as Xun Yu, who is called 'my son's room' by Cao Cao!
Li Zheng regretted that Xun Yu did not vote under the account, regretted Xun Yu, and regretted himself.
The currency of Liangzhou will circulate all over the world, not only because the currency of Liangzhou is sufficient and well-made, and cannot be imitated. It is even more because of the existence of the powerful economy of Liangzhou!
Liangzhou's economy has a unique advantage, which cannot be imitated by other forces.
In addition to the relaxed business environment in Liangzhou, the most important thing is the special products produced by various systems!
Now Liangzhou's monetary system has been accepted by people, and it is backed by a strong economy. Even if Cao Cao wants to reform the currency system now, even if he Yanzhou forms a complete monetary system of its own, it will not be possible to compete with the huge economy of Liangzhou.
If Xun Yu could do things under Li Zheng, how good it would be! And now, although the direction he planned for Cao Cao was not wrong, in the end he was doing that useless work.
Once Li Zheng dominates the world, is it still necessary to save ZĂ i in Yanzhou's monetary system? It must be abolished.
From the three years of Chuping to Yizhou and Guanzhong, to the present, Li Zheng is gathering momentum.
Now that Yizhou and Guanzhong are about to plump, they will soon come to the last step, and the situation will usher in earth-shaking changes! Xun Yu's plan for Cao Cao will eventually come to naught.
But under this belief, Li Zheng felt that the hidden worry that came from nowhere became more and more obvious, but he couldn't find the reason
In the second year of Xingping, spring.
The results of the performance evaluation of the county orders of the county governors in the first year of Xingping were officially released, and on the whole, basically the governors of each county did a good job.
Of course, because of ability, there are also high and low.
Immediately, Li Zheng's orders for the promotion and promotion of county orders in various places were also announced and issued through the hands of the officials, and they were open to the people, transparent and open.
Under Li Zheng's rule, there were 39 county-level and state-level administrative areas under the rule of Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Siliguanzhong and Yizhou. Among them, there are seven divisions, twelve in Liangzhou, twelve in Yizhou, and nine counties in Bingzhou, but Yunzhong is not in the hands of Li Zheng, there are only eight counties. Combined, it is 39 counties and state-level administrative land.
Some counties and countries have the same name, such as Zhangye County and Zhangye Subject, Guanghan County and Guanghan Subject. And now, Li Zheng is going to abolish the title of the subject country and completely change it to the county governance, so the subject country whose name is the same as the county must be renamed.
The subject state of Zhangye is located in the west of Xiliang, so it is changed to Xiye County, the subject state of Guanghan is changed to Guang'an County, and the subject country of Qianwei is changed to Nanzhong County. There is also a subject country of Juyan, which is changed to Juyan County. Shu County was a subordinate country and changed to Xichang County.
There is also Jingzhao Yin, where Chang'an is located, changed to Jingzhao County, and Henan Yin, where Luoyang is located, changed to Henan County.
These 39 counties were originally without county guards. Now, Li Zheng feels that it is time to appoint the county guard.
The chief officials and county commanders of each county under their rule have at least been tested by practice for a year, and their respective abilities have been expressed.
Just take advantage of this performance appraisal to promote the outstanding among them.
The top 39 of all examiners will be appointed.
Among them were some of Li Zheng's old subordinates, such as Gao Yu, the former Fuping Ling, who was appointed as the Taishou of Beidi County. The first batch of county orders to follow Li Zheng, that is, Li Boran's group of disciples, in addition to Gao Yu, there were three others who were promoted to county guards because of their outstanding political achievements.
When promoting his old subordinates, Li Zheng also consulted Zhou Fei, Zhou Lin and even Zhao Wu. Although their talents are not outstanding, they still have some experience after following Li Zheng over the years, and they are still able to do it a little bit when they are delegated to govern a county.
However, whether it was Zhou Fei, Zhou Lin, or Zhao Wu, they all thought that they were not talented enough and it was difficult to take on a big responsibility, so they refused.
They don't have the qualifications to be old and can see their own essence clearly, which makes Li Zheng very happy.
Although he can't be promoted, Li Zheng will definitely not treat them badly.
In addition to a cadre of old subordinates, there are other outstanding people who have also been promoted to become county guards.
For example, Li Zheng's eldest brother, Wu Yi, became the Taishou of Hongnong County.
Some of the most prominent of them have been transferred to important positions. For example, Henan County, where Luoyang is located, borders the princes of Kanto, and those who are not capable enough are not qualified to be the Taishou of Henan County.
For example, Huang Quan, Du Yi and others have this qualification.
Of course, there are also some extremely outstanding young people who have also been promoted to county guards, including Yang Xiu Yang Dezu, who was born in the Hongnong Yang family.
This also shows that Li Zheng does not look at qualifications when promoting talents, but only at talents. After all, Yang Xiu is not yet twenty! At the age of a weak crown in his teens, he became a county guard, to be honest, this can be regarded as a step to the sky!
Yang Xiu became the county guard, Hongnong Yang was overjoyed, and Yang Biao, the head of the Yang family, was deeply relieved. At least, with Yang Xiu here, the Yang family will not decline for the time being.
Thirty-nine county wardens were promoted, and there were thirty-nine vacancies in county orders. Most of these have to be promoted from the students who graduated from the academy and the county officials from all over the country. For the promotion of the county order, the officials can make their own decisions, which does not need to be worried about by Li Zheng himself.
In addition, Xun Yan, the temporary acting governor of the department, was transferred back to Lingzhou and became the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
The political structure of Liangzhou was originally only six. But as the spread spreads out more and more, some of the departments have more and more terms of reference. For example, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, at this stage, seems to be no longer suitable. Therefore, Li Zheng divided it into two departments, one is the Ministry of Industry and the other is the Ministry of Commerce.
The Minister of Commerce is Zhou Lin, and the Minister of Industry is Xun Yan.
The transfer of Xun Yan back to Lingzhou was not Li Zheng's temporary idea, but Xun Shuang's request. In Xun Shuang's words, their Xun clan, under the command of Li Zheng, has been extremely glorious. Xun Ying is Li Zheng's wife, and Xun You is the governor of Yizhou. If Xun Yan continues to control the government affairs of this state, it will be too much. There are two feudal officials in one family, and there are only four state-level administrative regions under Li Zheng's rule, and the Xun family accounts for half of them, which is not a good thing.
That's why Xun Shuang proposed to transfer Xun Yan back to Lingzhou, under Li Zheng's nose.
Li Boran, vice minister of the Ministry of Education, who is also the Lingzhou Commander, also asked Li Zheng to step down from the post of Lingzhou County Commander. Li Boran felt that he was old and not energetic enough. Earlier, Li Zheng did not have many talents under his command, so he was exempted from concurrently, but now it doesn't matter. Therefore, he is only willing to serve as the vice minister of education and do the education career he likes, and as for the government affairs of Lingzhou, he is not willing to take up the same position.
Li Zheng had no choice but to respond.
While promoting the rulers, Li Zheng also made some adjustments in the military aspect.
It is mainly the General Staff Department under the jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Yuan.
The General Staff Department is composed of military divisions, and now only second-class military divisions are Xi Zhicai, as well as Xun You, Tian Feng and even Yu Jia Xu, who also have the rank of military division.
But in general, the official military division under Li Zheng is still a scarce resource.
After all, whether it is Xun You, Tian Feng or Jia Xu, they all have their own main tasks, and they are only temporary in the General Staff, and they give ideas for Li Zheng during the war.
is a full-time military advisor, but only Xi Zhi is alone.
So this time, Li Zheng promoted more than a dozen military divisions to the general staff.
Among them, the most outstanding is the righteousness of the law and filial piety.
This man's power is worthy of his name. During this period of time in Lingzhou, Li Zheng has a deep understanding of him, and he is not inferior to Xi Zhicai in terms of military strategy and strategy.
Xi Zhicai has been in Luoyang and is in charge of the Kwantung Front. This time, Li Zheng sent Fa Zheng to the Northern Army to assist the White Wolf and sit on the Northern Front. Sent Hanzhong Yanpu to the Southern Army to assist Pang De. Sent Yizhou Zhang Song to the Western Army to assist Li Luo.
At the same time, the east, west, south, and north quadripartite corps each sent two remaining divisions, and the rest remained in Lingzhou as the standing division of the Central Army.
In addition to standing full-time military divisions, Li Zheng also issued orders to concurrently serve as military divisions.
Following the example of Tian Feng, Xun You, and Jia Xu, political talents with planning ability can also be named military advisors in the General Staff. For example, Huang Quan, such as Wu Yi, all have this qualification.
Although it is said that the military and the government are separated, it is still no problem to let the political talents with military talents be named military advisors. After all, they don't run the army, they only come up with ideas.
Moreover, most of the scribes of this era were capable, and most of them were all-rounders. It's just a bit of an emphasis, unlike hundreds of thousands of years later, when most scholars only know how to read, and even despise the military, which is simply unreasonable. (To be continued.) )
