"The time and number of people in the inspection of each county are uncertain, as long as the various magistrates and county orders can be diligent, the supervision department will not embarrass you. In addition, if you have any objections to the practice of the Supervision Division, you can appeal directly to me, and I will send someone to hear it. ”

Considering that the Supervision Department might become a mad dog that bites whoever it sees, in order to protect the governors of each county and avoid causing panic among the ministers, Chutian gave his subordinates the right to appeal.

If the inspectorate bites someone, the inspectorate will set himself on fire if the appeal is successful.

It's a check and balance.

Hearing that he could appeal, the faces of the ministers present softened slightly. They all understood that the Supervision Department was a double-edged sword used by Chu Tian to supervise his subordinate officials, and if they were accidentally targeted by the Supervision Department, they would all be in danger.

Even in the summer of more than three years with Chu Tian, Liang didn't want to be targeted by the Supervision Department. However, the Supervision Department did not dare to trouble her, otherwise she would have successfully appealed to Chutian, and the entire 150 people in the Supervision Department would be removed.

Chutian will not let the Supervision Department bite people everywhere.

"Fang Xuanling is responsible for assessing the governance of the officials in each county, with a small test every year and a big test every three years. The criteria for the assessment depend on each county, and serve as the basis for future promotions, rewards, and even requests for marquis in the table. ”

Considering that different counties have different levels of development and natural resources, Chutian cannot generalize the assessment of each county order.

How to formulate the assessment plan will be handed over to Fang Xuanling.

"The source of candidate officials is the imperial examination system. In June of this year, that is, the fourth year of the lord's calendar, the second imperial examination was held, which was also divided into two forms: Wenju and Wuju. ”

Chutian planned to extend the imperial examination system from Langya to the whole of Xuzhou, as a mechanism for selecting talents in the future, completely replacing filial piety.

The talent selection system of filial piety and honesty has allowed the family to master too many resources, and they often recommend disciples of the family, monopolizing the upper resources.

Chu Tian estimated that his use of the imperial examination system instead of filial piety would cause fierce opposition from the family, because it would harm their interests.

Sure enough, many officials from Xuzhou families exchanged words in private and complained about Chutian's approach.

"Please don't whisper. The Langya Kingdom has already held a imperial examination, and hundreds of good talents have been selected, which is why the Langya Kingdom will be so strong. It can be seen that the imperial examination system is conducive to the discovery of good talents. ”

Chu Tian did find many gold-level and silver-level heroes in the first imperial examination, and the screening method of the imperial examination system reduced the cost of finding good talents for Chutian, and at the same time broke the monopoly of the inherent family to a certain extent.

"Don't think that the imperial examination system will have too much impact on various families. If each family cultivates its disciples with heart, with the resources and family style of the family, the success rate of the younger generations is very high, not as good as that of the common people. If it is a mediocre talent who can't even stand out in the imperial examination, then even if he is filial piety and honesty, it will only harm the people. I think you all know this. ”

Chu Tian's principle is very simple, since he is a disciple of the family, then he has the ability to pass the imperial examination system.

The Xuzhou families present could not admit that their descendants might not be as good as the descendants of the commoners, so they had to acquiesce in the fact that the imperial examination system replaced the filial piety in Xuzhou. The success rate of the disciples of the family is much higher than that of ordinary civilians, and from this point of view, the family still has an advantage.

Chutian can't do better, relying on the imperial examination system to select good talents, which is already the best solution.

The system of supervision, evaluation, and selection of officials has been established, and the problem of administering officials has basically been solved.

Secondly, there is the punishment. Each county has a county government that is responsible for handling disputes, as well as dungeons and head catchers.

"When determining each case, a file should be prepared so that it can be reversed in the future."

"Cases in which the county cannot adjudicate or may be disputed shall be submitted to the county government. The matters that the county yamen could not determine were handed over to Li Kui and Wang Lang. Li Kui and Wang Lang finalized the new law, which was promulgated after my approval. ”

Chutian put Li Kui and Wang Lang in charge of the punishment, with Li Kui as the leader. Li Kui also has to serve as Langya's prime minister, so the case that is difficult to judge is decided by Wang Lang. Wang Lang's characteristic "prison governance" can play a role.

"If even Li Kui and Wang Lang can't decide the case, then submit it to me, and I will personally adjudicate it."

One by one, Chu Tian announced the content of the new ruling system, from the rule of officials to the punishment, establishing the most basic framework.

More specific contents, such as how to evaluate the performance of officials and the regulations applicable to civil litigation, depend on how Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, and Wang Lang have determined.

Anyway, Chu Tian is the last person to handle it, and it needs his consent before everything takes effect.

"And then there's the farming."

Chu Tian mentioned the land issue that all the families were most concerned about.

The vast majority of the families were big landlords and owned a large amount of land, and if Chu Tian declared that the whole world was not the king's land and turned their private land into the lord's mansion, they would definitely rise up, or contact other state pastors to replace Chu Tian.

In order to temporarily appease the families in Xuzhou, Chu Tian, who did not plan to do anything to the family, said: "For the private land of each family, keep it." The ownership of the farmland cultivated by the displaced people and the farmland that was originally abandoned by the lord's mansion belongs to the lord's mansion. Private land, temporarily forbidden to buy and sell. ”

Chutian planned to win over the Xuzhou family first, and then try to turn the farmland into a royal field later, and the ownership of all the land would belong to the lord's mansion. As for the farmland newly cultivated by the displaced people organized by the lord's mansion, as well as the farmland that no one cultivated because of the war, it directly belongs to the lord's mansion.

"All counties and counties should adapt their agricultural affairs to local conditions, carry out rotational farming, plant a variety of crops, and strive to increase grain production. Li Kui and Miss Xia have been experimenting with a one-year rotation arrangement for new crops in Langya Kingdom, and they already know the habits of each new crop well. In the future, various counties can learn from the experience of Langya State, especially the experience of Kaiyang County of Langya State. ”

The best county under Chutian's rule was Kaiyang County, which tried to plant new crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, and potatoes.

Because of the influx of new crops in the Americas, the grain production of Langya has increased, which can feed more people, and the food for future conquests will be worry-free.

Unlike the real world, Lords also has various bonuses that can increase food production.

For example, a special observatory can increase food production by 5%.

When a city grows over the decades, it may be able to feed 2 to 10 times as many people.

Therefore, farming is very necessary.

A state that has grown over the decades is more powerful than a state that is constantly at war and has an empty treasury.

"The matter of resettlement of displaced people and reclamation of new farmland will be handed over to Langya Xiang, Donghai Xiang, and Xiapi Xiang. It is imperative to complete the reclamation of new farmland and the resettlement of displaced people before planting in October this year. Sow in October, and next year you can harvest a lot of snacks. ”

Chu Tian added again, and asked Mi Zhu again: "Is the household registration statistics in Xuzhou detailed now?" ”

Mi Zhu shook his head: "The war continues, the population of each county has decreased sharply, and there are ten rooms and nine emptiness, and it has never been able to be counted. ”

Chu Tian was silent.

Xuzhou was very chaotic in the first three or four years.

The various lords were first village wars, then town-level wars, then county-level wars, and finally annexations between counties.

According to Mi Zhu, because all villages and towns are at war, and the population changes every day, it is impossible for Xuzhou officials to conduct household registration statistics even if they want to make household registration statistics for the huge Xuzhou.

A village founded by a lord may exist today and be destroyed tomorrow. The officials in Xuzhou were powerless and of little significance.

"All counties and counties have strict statistics on household registration. The current Xuzhou is no longer the chaotic Xuzhou before, and it is necessary to thoroughly count the number of people in Xuzhou to determine the number of Tianfu conscription. ”

"For the villages that live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, persuade them to return to the government, or move them to the plains. The plains of Xuzhou still have huge agricultural potential, and there is no need for them to escape the war in the mountains and forests. ”

"Eliminate the bandits in the counties of Xuzhou, force them to surrender, and enrich the population of the counties."

The experience of governing Langya State made Chutian gradually mature, and he drew inferences from one another, and the same principle is mostly applicable to other counties in Xuzhou.

"Then we will repair roads, bustle markets, and promote trade."

Chutian has detailed arrangements for agriculture, population, household registration, roads, and economy.

Roads, that is, the construction of roads connecting important towns in Xuzhou.

In particular, the official road between Langya City, Xia City, Tancheng and Xiapi City should be widened, so that it is convenient for Chutian to calmly transfer troops and for caravans to transport goods and grain.

Economic development depends on the cash crops and special products of each county.

The counties on the plains develop agriculture, the counties located by the sea develop trade, and the counties with mineral veins develop mining......

"Establish a unified money bank in Xuzhou, named 'Tongbao Money Village', set up a head office in Xiacheng, and set up branches in various counties to absorb deposits. The head office is required to set aside 30% of the reserve. ”

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and financing is also essential.

Chutian has already received a lot of benefits from Qianzhuang, and many financial crises have been survived by borrowing from Qianzhuang. It can be said that without the money bank established by Xia Liang at the beginning, Chu Tian would have gone bankrupt many times.

Being a lord is not as simple as you might think.

Chutian, who got the benefits, simply promoted the money village of Langya Kingdom to the whole of Xuzhou and used the money village to collect money. If necessary, Chu Tian can reach out to Qian Zhuang to ask for money.

If a man deposits 100 copper coins in the bank, 10 million people will be 1 million taels of silver. Reserve 30% of the reserve, and 700,000 taels of silver can be temporarily used in the event of war.

That's the power of finance.

However, the credibility of the money bank needs to be operated for a long time before the people will trust it.

"The account books of Tongbao Money Village are reported to me every three months, and a copy is kept for Miss Xia to verify."

Chu Tian didn't dare to make sure that he wouldn't be fooled by the subordinates who managed the money village, after all, the account books were easy to falsify, so he could only entrust Xia Liang to review them. She is one of the people who doesn't want something to happen in Xuzhou.

"And the matter of foreign trade......"

The foreign trade that Chutian refers to is not completely trade with other civilizations, and the foreign trade here refers to the area outside Xuzhou.

"At present, there are two important ports, Qu County (Lianyungang) and Xihai County (Rizhao), which can encourage the private sector to build a large number of sea ships to engage in trade and fishing. The person who coordinates foreign trade is Miss Xia and Mi Zhu. In case of disagreement, the judgment of Miss Xia shall prevail. ”

Chu Tian once again put the summer coolness on top of Mi Zhu.

The reason is not too complicated, Xia Liang knows what civilizations exist outside the sea, and he can contact the forces and lords of other civilizations and reach a trade agreement with them. Mi Zhu can't do that.

Mi Zhu's role is to integrate the resources of Qu County and even the East China Sea State, and establish coastal and even ocean-going fleets.

"In a year's time, a hundred sea ships are built. In three years, there will be 500 to 1,000 seagoing ships, of which no less than 50 will be ships and medium-sized warships of various kinds. ”

Chu Tian considered and put forward the goal.

"The target of foreign trade is set for Liaodong, Goryeo, Yangzhou, and Dongying, and the trade object is negotiated by Miss Xia."

"Lord Governor, the sea has been sailing longer than you think. We need to find a way to shorten the time required for sailing. Otherwise, not only will sea freight not be profitable, but will also cause heavy losses. ”

The cool summer reminds Chutian of one thing.

In fact, when Chu Tian knew about the existence of the world trade node, Chu Tian had already learned a more terrifying thing from Xia Liang - after the area of "Lord" was expanded, the area of the Pacific Ocean and the Yellow Sea was quite vast, and the straight-line distance was extended by more than four times without considering the influence of three-dimensional space.

That is, the voyage time is at least four times longer than in reality.

How can I shorten the long shipping time?

Chu Tian really couldn't imagine that it would take a year to travel back and forth by sea from Xuzhou to Liaodong.

Lords is a game after all, and there should be a way to shorten a long voyage.

There is a teleportation array on land that can solve the long distance travel, and there should be one on the sea, after all, the sea is bigger than the mainland.

Chu Tian couldn't send people to spend four years to reach Europe, so the logistics would be completely unable to replenish them......

"Ding! The second national war event, 'The First Clash of Civilizations', will be held in August of the fourth year of the lord calendar, and the content of the event preview will be checked by each lord. This war covers all civilizations, and only the Grand Lords of each civilization can participate. ”

"Ding! Considering the large size of the ocean, after the end of the Second National War, the initial Age of Discovery will be opened, and the exchanges and collisions between the civilizations of the main world will be promoted. Each port will be able to build a teleportation array for ships, which will teleport ships to the 'neutral sea' and reach the target port faster. Making full use of teleportation arrays can be used to reduce sailing time, trade with other civilizations, or attack hostile civilizations. ”

Chu Tian suddenly received a system announcement, and the whole person was stunned.

The Second National War began in the fourth year of the lord's calendar, and it was not a historical battle, but a competition covering all civilizations? The port's teleportation array is also about to open, and the Age of Discovery is beginning to take shape!

"Western civilization, North African civilization, Indian civilization, and the Arab Empire are all likely to be encountered this time......"

Chu Tian thought about it, and his Heavenly Khan characteristics were finally useful.
