Chapter 623: Surprising Changes

Because Wang Xu drank too much wine, he could only stay at Huangfu Song's house for one night, and only returned to Xiangyang General's Mansion the next day.

Accompanied by his family to rest for half a day, at noon, Zhizhong came to report that the army of Nanzhong had arrived in Xiangyang, and Zhao Yun and other generals had all reported on their work.

"Lord, now that the army has returned, except for the generals such as Guo Junshi, Tian Beijia and Huang Zhong who went on an expedition to the northwest, the basic important personnel are all here, should Jingyi Erzhou be readjusted?"

Frustrated, he looked at Wang Xu's calm face, and continued: "Jingzhou is okay, they are all old people, there are many counties in Yizhou that are vacant, and they are all temporarily consuled by the county Cheng. ”

"There is also the matter of the army, in order to stabilize the situation earlier, the master mother did not make any new deployments, worried about affecting the overall situation, and the merits and demerits were temporarily suppressed, and now if there is no reward for meritorious deeds, the soldiers may be unhappy in their hearts, and even secretly worried that their merits have been deducted."

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded and asked rhetorically, "Then what did you plan before?" If I don't come back, do I have a resolution? ”

"There's a draft." Fu Zhu explained: "The master mother summoned her subordinates, Yuan Hao, Feng Xiao, and Yuan Zhi to discuss it seriously, and when Nanzhong was pacified, she immediately began to deal with this matter, and there was generally an arrangement. ”

"Where the draft is, show me." Wang Xu frowned and said.

"It has been kept by his subordinates, and it has been brought today." Apparently prepared, he groped for a moment from his bosom and took out a small silk silk.

Wang Xu received it in his hand and opened it to watch, only to see countless positions and names densely written on it. He didn't read it all either. Just a glance at the important positions. He smiled and said, "Yes, it's about the same as what I thought recently, but there are some things that need to be changed." ”

As he spoke, he pondered for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Gonghe, you go and inform the civil and military forces of the General's Mansion, and the meeting hall will meet at three o'clock tomorrow." ”

"No!" He smiled and bowed back.

Wait until it's gone. Wang Xu was alone in the study, and took out the super large topographic map of Jingyi Erzhou, which not only marked the terrain and landforms, but also briefly marked the various tribes and ethnic groups, and the approximate population number, which he had requested very early, and the map of governing the land must be detailed, but it was really not easy to make such a map, and it cost a lot of money.

At this time. All he had to do was divide the new counties. This decision had already been made when Yizhou was just taken.

Today, Yizhou's vast land is divided into only a few counties, which is very difficult to manage, and local officials can be inefficient when dealing with grassroots affairs if they are too wide. The same person manages a radius of two or three hundred miles, and manages a radius of thousands of miles, which is certainly not the same efficiency.

Yizhou used to be so divided, that was because of the situation of vast land and sparse population at that time, and now, although compared from the entire Han Dynasty, Yizhou is still sparsely populated, but since the turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty, Yizhou has been relatively the most stable, and the people of the north have flocked to the south.

The arrival of a large number of people of insight, especially Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son, made its population density and agricultural business have developed significantly, although their father and son have many contradictions with many local wealthy families, but for the whole Yizhou, it is an outstanding contribution.

Therefore, the current county boundaries of Yizhou have become too bloated, and the county government is very troublesome to manage.

At the same time, the strength of a single county is also too strong because the scope of management is too large, such as the chaotic situation today, if the guard of a county has too much strength, it is good if there is no accident, but it is difficult to deal with it in a short period of time if something happens, and even form a big disaster.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that Wang Xu made up his mind to divide the new county, just like Yizhou is a big cake cut into several pieces, but because the size is too big, it is now divided into smaller pieces of cake.

Historically, Liu Bei's forces also used guò to limit the strength of the local area, and at the same time develop the county more effectively, and also provided more talents, opportunities to play, and more positions.

Although he had thought about it thousands of times in his mind, he was still cautious when it was really divided, and it wasn't until late at night that he made the last stroke......

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xu ordered someone to hang his newly divided map in the conference hall in advance, and arrived on time at three o'clock in the morning.

In the past, every large-scale gathering in the conference hall seemed empty, but now it will not, more and more Cao subordinates, more and more complete management systems have been formed, and there are more and more high-level talents, even if there are Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Huang Zhong and others have not arrived, but the hall is also very compact.

As he sat down, the noisy council chamber quickly fell silent.

"Wait for the lord to meet the lord!" The crowd shouted and bowed in unison.

"Excuse me!"

Wang Xu waved his hand, his eyes swept over, and he showed a slight smile: "Call everyone here today, not for other things, just for the adjustment of various departments, I believe that everyone has already prepared for this matter, so I will not say more, and watch a thing with me first." ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked over to the white cloth hanging high behind him, which covered the entire wall, and had already surprised many civil and military officers.

After a slight pause, under the puzzled gaze of the ministers, he suddenly ripped off the huge white cloth.

A huge map was presented, hanging high on the wall, and the civil and military ministers stared intently.

"Map of Jingyi Erzhou?"

"But it's a map of Jingyi Erzhou!"

"The county boundary is wrong, this is ......"

"This is the division of a new county!"

The ministers immediately discussed a lot, and after a while, they had already guessed Wang Xu's intentions.

"Not bad!" Wang Xu interjected loudly and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the new county boundary that this general is determined to demarcate, and the core purpose is naturally to make it easier to govern and more effective, so as to make this vast Jingyi two states more prosperous." I believe that all the axioms should understand this, and General Ben will not say much. ”

"In general, Jingzhou has not changed much, it is still the land of eight counties, from north to south, and then from west to east, which are Nanyang, Zhangling, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Wuling, Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang."

"In addition, Yizhou Hanzhong County is too extensive, and the county is far to the west, so it will be divided into two, and the eastern counties will be merged into Shangyong County, and the county will be governed by Shangyong, and Shangyong will belong to Jingzhou from now on, and you can also call Jingzhou the nine counties of Jingxiang in the future."

"As for the east of Changsha, there is also a small Yuzhang County drawn from Yangzhou back then, which is not under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou and is an independent county.

Speaking of this, Wang Xu paused slightly, and waited for the Chinese Wu in the hall to think for a moment before continuing: "Jingzhou has not changed much, but the northern counties of Yizhou have been redivided, such as the former Guanghan vassal state changed its name to Yinping County, and the county ruled Yinping. ”

"Shu County and Guanghan County in the south remain unchanged."

"Further south, Shu County and Qianwei are two places, Shu County is renamed Hanjia County, and the county governs Hanjia County. Qianwei County is divided into two parts, the northwest part is still Qianwei County, and the county governs Wuyang. In the southeast part, Jiangyang County was newly established, and the county governed Jiangyang. ”

"The above is the division of several counties in the west of the north of Yizhou, and the Ba County in the east of the north of Yizhou is four because the area is too large."

"The northwest part of the original Ba County is set up as Brazil County, and the county is in Langzhong."

"The northeastern part is set up in Badong County, and the county governs Yongan County."

"The southwest part, Sheba County, the county governs Jiangzhou."

"In the southeast part, Fuling County is set up, and the county governs Fuling County."

"Therefore, the northern part of Yizhou, including Hanzhong, has a total of Hanzhong, Yinping, Shujun, Guanghan, Hanjia, Qianwei, Jiangyang, Brazil, Badong, Bajun, and Fuling, a total of eleven counties."

"The southern part of Yizhou, which is what we call Nanzhong, has not changed so much, but it is divided into three adjacent counties, Jianning, Yuewang, and Yongchang, and Yunnan County is placed in Yunnan County, and the county governs Yunnan County."

"Qianwei Shu was removed and incorporated into Jianning County. Then divide the adjacent places of Jianning, Qike and Yongchang counties, set up Xinggu County, and govern Wanwen County. ”

"From now on, the southern part of Yizhou, that is, the land of Nanzhong, from north to south, from west to east, will include Yuewang, Zhuti, Yunnan, Jianning, Qike, Yongchang, Xinggu, a total of seven counties."

"In this way, in the land of Jingyi and the two states, except for Xiaoyuzhang in the future, there will be a total of twenty-seven counties, I don't know if the princes can have any objections?"

As Wang Xu's words fell, there was silence in the hall, no one expected that his movements would be so big this time, and he didn't even expect to be depressed.

But after thinking about it carefully, the ministers found that such an arrangement was really in line with the current situation, and the division of the counties was completely in consideration of all aspects, not to mention perfect, but there were indeed no major flaws.

After the generals discussed with each other, they all nodded in agreement, and no one objected.

"Good!" A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xu's mouth: "Since everyone is meaningless, then the following will announce the final appointment result after the general's palace has deliberated." ”

"Huh!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers' faces instantly tensed, and they were a little nervous, at least many people understood in their hearts that they were probably going to be transferred this time, and with so many vacancies, it would be strange not to be transferred.

Wang Xu smiled slightly, didn't pay attention to everyone's thoughts, went back to his place and sat down, picked up the scroll on the table and read it.

With his words, one after another orders went down, everyone was shocked to hear them, and the names of many people were completely unexpected, such as Guiyang Taishou Jiang Wan was unusually promoted to Jingzhou Assassin History, and a small half of the high-level officials of the General's Mansion were transferred.

Transferred from the general's office to the Taishou, although it seems to be a demotion, but in fact the status of the Taishou is higher, in charge of the military and political affairs of a county, can be called a feudal official, the Han has not been a Taishou official, it is almost difficult to really be in a high position, and it is also commonplace to transfer from the core to the counties to be the Taishou.

Therefore, everyone is not repulsed, but it is just too sudden at the moment, and there is no preparation in the heart.

ps: After thinking about it, the appointment of the county guards is still not intuitively written out one by one, mainly because I am worried that everyone will not like to read it, and there is a notoriety of making up the number of words, which will be slowly reflected in the future chapters!
