"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yulin is waiting to see ......" When Liu Che was still in a daze, Yan Yi came over and reported. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Pass the ......" Liu Che hurriedly came back to his senses and immediately ordered.

Not long after, Chao Cuo appeared in front of Liu Che.

"The minister asked His Majesty Sheng'an...... "Chao Cuo bowed slightly, as the prime minister, he no longer needs to be as restrained as in the past.

"The prime minister is here...... Liu Che smiled slightly, waved his hand at Chao Cuo, and said: "The prime minister has been in office for more than a month, and everything in the prime minister's mansion has been straightened out?" ”

Chao Cuo bowed slightly, and replied: "Fortunately, thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the minister has basically straightened out the ......."

The Prime Minister's Mansion was one of the largest bureaucrats in the Han Dynasty!

Since Emperor Gao, there have been countless subordinate officials under the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Including the secretary of the Zhi, Changshi, and Huishi, who specialize in assisting the prime minister, sorting out the senior officials of all parties, and also has a large team of civilian staff officials.

The standard configuration is 20 prime ministers, 80 prime ministers, and a few people from Cao Peng.

and a bunch of various Cao Yilang.

In the Zhang Cang era, the Prime Minister's Mansion was greatly expanded.

Dozens of officials who are proficient in arithmetic are added, as well as hundreds of various servants and officials from about 200 to 400 stones.

At the beginning of Liu Che's accession to the throne, because the first emperor died suddenly, the Han family briefly returned to the era of prime ministers.

At that time, Zhang Ou and Zhou Yafu each received a large number of various officials.

When Zhang Ou was driven home by Liu Che to farm, Zhou Yafu became the only prime minister, but the shelf left by Zhang Ou was not disbanded and was included in Zhou Yafu's prime minister's mansion.

This made the establishment of the Prime Minister's Mansion burst.

After that, in order to make his life more comfortable.

Liu Che allowed Zhou Yafu to double the number of officials, Cao Lang, and Hui officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Turning the Prime Minister's Mansion into one of the most powerful bureaucrats ever!

After several years of evolution and expansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion that Chao Cuo took over is now an institution even more complex and powerful than the bureaucratic system of the Shaofu!

In addition, specialization and functionalization began.

Naturally, this makes it difficult for anyone who takes over to have a difficult period of adaptation.

Mistakes are not exempt from vulgarity.

Even, the problems he faces may be much more complicated.

Because his predecessor, Zhou Yafu, was a politician who was close to Confucianism.

Therefore, there are many Confucian scholars in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

For example, among the extremely important Hui officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion, more than a dozen of them were born in Confucianism.

What is the result of a Legalist prime minister facing a bunch of Confucian officials? It can well be imagined!

But Chao Cuo couldn't attack these Confucian officials, at most he could only put his people in key positions.

Otherwise, Confucianism will definitely jump to scold her mother!

Thinking of this, Chao Cuo took out a pamphlet from his arms, handed it to Liu Che, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the official Cao of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the main Cao official adjusted by the minister......

This is also the main business of his entry into the palace this time - an important personnel change, he must communicate with the Weiyang Palace, and must get Liu Che's endorsement.

Liu Che took the booklet, handed it to Yan Yi beside him, and said with a smile: "The prime minister's mansion is in charge of the affairs of the prime minister's mansion, and the prime minister can make his own decisions......

He smiled and said: "The prime minister is the world's punishment and robbery, big and small, the prime minister can make his own decisions......"

"I rule by hanging the arch, and the prime minister can act according to the system......"

This is also the practice of Zhou Yafu's era, and Liu Che never interferes in the specific internal affairs and personnel appointments and dismissals of the Prime Minister's Office.

The prime minister makes his own ideas and makes his own decisions.

He, the emperor, doesn't have so much time and energy to care, who is a certain Cao Peng official under the Prime Minister's Mansion?

If the prime minister does his job well, and then executes Liu Che's orders, he is a good prime minister.

Otherwise, go home and farm!

But......

Liu Che looked at Chao Cuo and said, "I just need Aiqing to introduce me to the resume and ......background of Si Zhi and Changshi that Qing has chosen."

This is also the tradition of the old Liu family, and the emperor generally does not interfere in the internal affairs and personnel appointments and dismissals of the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries.

However, the main deputies and important bureaucrats, the emperor will definitely control them.

Prime Minister Sizhi and Prime Minister have a long history, and they are the two most important officials under the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.

Among them, the director is in charge of the nuclear examination, and the long history is in charge of the affairs of the prime minister's mansion.

In the system, both have the same position: omniscient supervision.

It's just that externally, one is in charge of the promotion and review of county officials, and the other is internal, mainly responsible for the promotion, review and affairs of the Prime Minister's Office.

Figuratively speaking, Si Zhi is equivalent to the executive deputy prime minister, while Chang Shi is the secretary general of the prime minister and the director of the general staff.

The status of the two is equal, both are more than two thousand stones, and among the adjusted Han official ranks in the future, it is only the three dukes and nine kings, which is the apex of the state and county level.

In fact, they are also the real heads of the Prime Minister's Mansion!

After all, what is the status of the prime minister? There's not much time to stare at the trivia below.

The specific affairs are handled by these assistants, and at most they know the results.

"The minister is about to ask His Majesty for instructions...... Chao Cuo Zi has already prepared, and immediately said: "The minister decided to use the late Prime Minister Hui Shi and Guanglu Doctor Wen Ban to serve as ......"

When Liu Che heard this, his eyebrows twitched, and he agreed with the person he chose wrongly: "Wen Qing...... Good choice of prime minister......"

Wen Ban is a talent who has climbed up from the grassroots level step by step by relying on ability!

Liu Che is still quite impressed by this person.

At that time, when he disposed of Yuan An, his performance was good, and then he was transferred to the Taifu, Shaofu and other institutions also did well, it can be said that he was quite a political achievement, last year was appointed as the Guanglu doctor, specifically responsible for reviewing the internal affairs of the big farmers and the Shaofu, can be regarded as a quite capable, experienced official.

"As for the ...... candidate for the long history," Chao Cuo said hesitantly: "The minister originally wanted to take Yan Xiong, the county guard of Hedong County, to serve as the minister, but the minister heard that Yan Junshou was appointed by His Majesty and was in charge of the embankment project of the big river, and the minister did not dare to transfer the minister without permission, so I would like to ask Your Majesty: Is Yan Junshou adjustable?" ”

Liu Che listened, pursed his lips, shook his head and said, "Yan Qing can't be transferred for the time being......"

But......

Liu Che looked back at Chao Cuo and said to him: "Aiqing's vision is really good!" ”

Yan Xiong is a young official that Liu Che is concentrating on cultivating, and he is an engineer official who meets Liu Che's standards.

He's an engineer himself!

He once presided over the preliminary project of Longshou Canal and Kunming Pool, and even, in a sense, the survey and project approval of Longshou Canal Project was made by Yan Xiong and Shang Rong.

Halfway through the Kunming Pond project, Liu Che asked him to go to Hedong County to take charge of the sand control and flood control projects of the big river.

Perhaps at the end of this year, Liu Che will set up a river yamen and let Yan Xiong serve as the commander-in-chief of the flood control and sand control project of the big river.

In the next ten years, Yan Xiong will spend time in this system.

It wasn't until ten years later that the raging period of the Great River came to an end.

Chao Cuo was praised and was very happy, he hurriedly bowed and said: "This is all taught by Your Majesty's ear, and the work of education, the minister does not dare to take credit......"

"Hehe......" Liu Che smiled, for the time being, Liu Che was very satisfied with the prime minister.

The ministers of the Legalists are good at this, everything is superior, and they are particularly good at speculating and carrying out the orders of their superiors.

Look at others, after only a month in office, they have already begun to automatically adjust their pace.

The selected candidates for important officials such as Si Zhi and Chang Shi are all officials that Liu Che likes and admires.

Compared with it, although Zhou Yafu is good, sometimes he is too tough!

The donkey, when it was strong, was too terrifying......

"Apart from Yan Qing, is there any other candidate for the prime minister?" Liu Che asked with a smile, he was a little curious about who Chao would choose.

It is necessary to know that the prime minister's long history is the prime minister's most important staff, and he is the head of internal affairs of the prime minister's office, which is equivalent to the shadow of the prime minister himself.

Historically, Zhang Tang was framed by Li Wen, the then prime minister Zhuang Qingzhai's long history, and committed suicide, and then, because of Zhang Tang's suicide note, Emperor Wu was furious, and Li Wen, the initiator, was imprisoned and died, directly implicating Zhuang Qingzhai, and Zhuang Qingzhai could only commit suicide to apologize.

From this story, you can see how closely the connection between the prime minister's long history and the prime minister himself is.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

Therefore, the Han ministers of all dynasties will appoint people who can absolutely trust themselves.

Chao Cuo is no exception!

In fact, Liu Che felt that the so-called Yan Xiong was just a smoke bomb used to curry favor with Liu Che.

If you really want to appoint Yan Xiong as the long history, Bao Zhun Chao came with a smile and went back crying!

After all, no matter what Yan Xiong says, he actually has nothing to do with Chao Cuo.

Even, there may be some dirty - when Yan Xiong presided over the Longshou Canal project, he didn't make mistakes!

"Since Yan Junshou has the king's order, the minister can only retreat to the second, and Nanyang County Weining will become the ...... of the long history" When Chao Cuo said this, he was uneasy in his heart.

Ning Cheng!

This is the big butler he chose for himself!

But whether the Son of Heaven can approve it, he is not clear.

Because, Ning Cheng's reputation is not very good.

But he needed Ning Cheng, because he had to hold a knife in his hand to deter his ministers.

And in today's political arena, there is no more suitable knife than Ning Cheng.

Liu Che was stunned when he heard it, how could he not have thought that it was Ning Cheng?

When did Ning Cheng hook up with Chao wrong?

Although Ning Cheng has many problems, he still has ability, and Chao Cuo can indeed tame him.

But here's the problem......

Ning Cheng came to the central government, and Nanyang County was appointed as the next county guard, who did Liu Che go to?

It's hard to find this candidate!

But......

It doesn't matter......

It's a big deal, at that time, the status of Nanyang County will be raised to the status of a county directly under the central government, like Henan County, and important ministers will be sent to sit in the town.

Therefore, Liu Che did not object, but said: "It's good if the prime minister decides......"

Putting aside the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion for the time being, Liu Che said to Chao wrongly: "Today, I summoned Aiqing into the palace to talk to Qing about the affairs of Munan, Hejian and Heli Mountain......

With his mistakes, he walked into a side hall of the Qingliang Hall that had been rebuilt.

The hall has been transformed into a huge sand table to house the palace.

A huge sand table, several zhang long and two or three zhang wide, was placed in the hall, leaving only a few passages for people to enter and exit.

On this sand table, there are winding rivers, towering mountains, vast Gobi and blue lakes.

It is the most detailed sand table that can be made under the current technical conditions.

It covers almost all the geography and landforms of Munan, Hejian, Heli Mountain and Hexi regions that the Han family currently has mastered.

Looking at this huge sand table, Liu Che was also proud.

With this sand table in hand, he stayed at home, lived in the Weiyang Palace, and could also know the basic appearance of the area thousands of miles away.

Chao Cuo was even more frightened, almost losing his mind.

In front of this sand table, Chao Cuo gave birth to a supreme heroic atmosphere.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have been extremely sensitive to geography and have been regarded as a military secret!

In the past, geographical knowledge was knowledge that was more monopolized and controlled than the art of war.

Even ordinary princes may not be able to read geography books.

Even high-level civil officials and high-level intellectuals like Chao Cuo can get their hands on very few geography books and knowledge.

It is only in recent years that the ban on books and knowledge has been lifted and widely disseminated.

However, the situation in the world beyond the Great Wall is still unknown to most people.

However, in front of this sand table, all secrets are not secrets.

Standing in front of this sand table, the whole world is exposed.

The mountains, rivers, lakes and roads formed by the sand and soil present the distant exotic land intuitively in front of you.

Liu Che looked at Chao Cuo's shocked look, smiled slightly in his heart, picked up a baton, pointed to the sand table and said: "Please see, this situation map of the south of the curtain and the river made by the Shaofu ......"

"Since Gao Que, the king has taken the land between the rivers, I have ordered the king of Meng, Liu Fei, the king of Mengguo, and this year, I have ordered the Zhidu to settle the entire territory of the south of the Munan, and now, the army of Zhidu and the army of Chen Xu have respectively leveled the eastern and northern parts of the south of the Munan, and all the tribes have surrendered, only some of them are not rebellious, and they are still lurking on the edge of the Hanhai......"

"Most of the land in the south of the curtain is not suitable for farming, and can only be used for pasture...... Liu Che slowly introduced.

It's not that you can't really cultivate on the grassland.

In fact, during the time of Emperor Wu, the surrendered city, Luntai city and even Mrs. Fan City had carried out large-scale reclamation.

Don't look at the miserable things in the history books, talk about what you say about the cost of national strength and the gains.

But, that's actually a lie to children.

Because at the time of Zhaoxuan, the Han army launched many attacks on the Xiongnu, all of which were launched by the surrendered city and Luntai city, and the results of the reclamation in these areas were also quite gratifying, at least, the local reclamation could basically meet the needs of the army.

The only problem - reclamation and farming, in this era, is too damaging to water and soil.

Not to mention, the cultivated land in Luntai, Shoujiang and Lady Fan City has been rapidly salinized and then desertified over the course of several decades.

Therefore, Liu Che does not intend to repeat the mistakes of history.

In the upper reaches of those large rivers and environmental nodes, if you can not damage the local environment, you will not destroy it.

However, this does not mean that there is no suitable place for farming in the entire grassland.

For example......

The Liaohe River Basin and the Raoleshui Basin, as well as the Juyan area, are all very good farming areas.

As long as it is properly developed, the local land is not even worse than the land of China!
