The news that Lu Kang was going to send a letter to the government spread quickly in the DPRK, and after the great court meeting on the 16th day of the first lunar month, Lu Kang wrote "beggar bones", and Bai Tu also rejected it for the first time......

However, everyone knows that Lu Kang's Zhishi is estimated to be a matter of spring and summer, and it was rejected this time, but it will probably take another month or so, and he will go through the procedure to resign for the second time.

As for the identity of the successor, it is also very easy to guess, Lu Kang did not sell the guanzi, not only hinted at some people in private, but also used several topics to draw everyone's attention to Yu Chuan during the court discussion.

This is not surprising to the ministers, after all, in terms of the relationship with the Jiangdong clan and the loyalty to Bai Tu, Yu Tuo is a rare suitable candidate, and his ability is also above the qualification line, and his qualifications are impeccable......

The cabinet is the place where the king of Chu "gives ideas", but the ideas are not just brains, or ...... With Lu Su and Jia Xu here, the cabinet does not lack "brains".

For example, Lu Kang and Huang Chengyan, the main task is to balance the impact of cabinet decisions on the Jiangdong and Jingzhou clans - some decisions that will cause a backlash, they can question it, but they also have the obligation to calm the backlash if they can pass the cabinet.

Of course, compared with Lu Kang, Yu Turn's "lubricant" seems a bit frosty......

In the whole four years of the Chu calendar, there are still a lot of things in the Chu State, there are academic examinations in June in the middle of the year, there are imperial examinations in October at the end of the year, and there are ...... at the beginning of the year It will also begin to gradually promote the state and county two-level system!

From the beginning of the establishment of the Chu State, Bai Tu has been "Zhang Luo", but because of the great involvement, especially the change of grassroots officials, it will be very drastic, which is equivalent to the establishment of more grassroots official offices, and at the same time make a more detailed division of the officials of the grassroots official offices......

I have been preparing very cautiously before, but now that three years have passed, counting the results of this year's imperial examination, there will be a new batch of talents entering the official sequence of Chu State, and the two-tier system of prefectures and counties can also be started.

As for the specific division, the six ministries and the Privy Council have already been repeatedly agreed, and the news has also been infiltrated to the grassroots government offices in various places, and even some local-level decrees have been implemented with new divisions, which can be regarded as an opportunity for everyone to get acquainted.

The entire Chu State will be divided into ten provinces, and the ten "roads" are supervision units, similar to the "states" of the Han Dynasty before the state pastoral system, but there are no governors, and there are six divisions and divisions of soldiers and horses, which do not belong to each other, and supervise the six departments at the state level.

The ten roads are: the "Jinling Road" where the capital Jinling is located,

"Gangdong Road" east of Jinling,

Huainan is divided into two "Huainan East Road" and "Huainan West Road",

Including the southeastern part of the river and the former "Huiji Road" of Zhangling County,

"Wangjing Road" from Xiangyang to Wancheng,

"Jinghu North Road" in the northern area of Jingzhou centered on Gangneung,

In the north of Jingnan, Changsha and Hengyang are the "Jinghu South Road",

In the south of Jingnan, more "Jianning Road" is responsible for the task of integrating Wuxi Man,

And...... For the time being, it has not been disclosed, and the "Guangxin Road" is mainly in the Jiaozhou area.

Among them, the most stimulating to the Han family is definitely the "Wangjing Road" - which not only greatly changes the county system, but also ...... Wangjing?

How do you look at the location of Wancheng, what you look at is not your own Jinling, but Guanzhong and Chang'an!

When Liu Xie first heard this name, it was very similar to patting the table and asking: What are you looking at?

It is not open for the time being, and it is completely in the theoretical stage, which is "Guangxin Road" - Guangxin is a county of Cangwu County, and it is also the first county established after the Han Dynasty recovered the land of Liangyue.

The original meaning of the "wide" of the "two Guangzhous" in later generations was to refer to "Guangxin".

Jiaozhou Shishi already has the willingness to move land, but the two sides are still in the stage of tug-of-war negotiations.

Shixie didn't have the heart of the princes to compete for hegemony, but ...... must also hope for more benefits, the year before last, he also wanted the king of Chu to be able to fight for him for the title of the Han family, and then attached himself as a Han jue, but was directly rejected by Bai Tu.

At first, it was a little unpleasant, but soon after, Jiaozhou asked Chu again for help with a batch of grain, and presented many special treasures, faintly with the meaning of tribute.

Historically, two years after the Battle of Chibi, Shixie returned to Sun Quan and still retained a certain amount of power and influence in Jiaozhou.

However, after the death of Shi Xie, the descendants of the Shi clan were unwilling to be lonely and wanted to secede Jiaozhou, and were exterminated by Sun Quan, and the hostages left in Jianye were not spared......

It can be seen that Shi Xie and his people do not have any desire to fight for hegemony, after the battle of Chibi, Sun Quan made it clear that it has become a separatist situation, Shi Xie did not have the intention of competing with Jiangdong, and accepted Sun Quan's Feng Buqiu as the assassin of Jiaozhou, and the clan was attached, and he was named the general of the left, and he still sat in Jiaozhou.

At the same time, it can also be seen that Shi's influence in Jiaozhou is extraordinary, after his death, Shi's can still dream of secession, and Shixie's status in later generations of Liangyue even surpasses Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue!

Now although the state of Chu did not fight hard with the north to prove its strength, it ...... The status of the state of Chu does not need to be proved by a tough battle.

No matter how you look at it, the current situation in Chu is much stronger than that of Sun Quan, who had just raised his eyebrows after the Battle of Chibi.

In particular, the state of Chu has also been actively developing relations with the wang people and indigenous people in Jiaozhou, and the civil influence is not small.

Shi Xie objectively has no other choice, and subjectively has no other ideas.

Now the focus of the tug-of-war between the two sides is only how much power Shixie can retain, or rather...... How much can we keep!

Therefore, the ten provinces of Chu are not counted in Badong, but Jiaozhou has been counted.

As for the state level, it is slightly larger than the current county level, and it is much smaller than the county, and now the Chu State itself, not counting the overseas ports and counties in Liaodong, Donglai, Zhouhu, and Badong, as well as the governor's mansions of Yizhou and Bozhou, there are a total of 244 counties and 21 counties!

After the restructuring, there are only 81 "prefectures", and each prefecture has a county seat with the main development, and there are also two or three small counties.

At the state level, see the six departments, which are vertically managed by the six departments and the six central departments, and one person is selected as the "Zhizhou" in the six departments and halls, as the highest governor of the "state".

The principle of appointment of Zhizhou is that the secretary of the local development-oriented department will be the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs responsible for local livelihood projects, but if it is a large commercial state and a large state of education, the secretary of the household department and the ceremonial department will serve as the governor, and it is necessary to focus on rectifying the rule of law, the rule of law, or promoting the invention of the Ministry of Industry.

It can be regarded as having a core official at the state level who can coordinate local development, and will not be completely leaderless.

There are also seven prefectures, which are more similar to prefectures geographically, but are equivalent to the administrative level of "Dao", which are the seven central development areas of Chu State, and the six departments of the seven prefectures are also directly under the center.

First of all, it is naturally the "Jinling Mansion" where the capital is located,

There is also the "Shouchun Mansion", where the big city of trade with the Central Plains is located,

Huainan Military and Political Center "Hefei Mansion",

In the territory of Chu State, the "Wancheng Mansion" that penetrated deep into the Central Plains,

Jingyang waterway waist "Wuchang Mansion",

Jingzhou Center "Jiangling Mansion",

and the "Wu Mansion", where the most important outlet to the sea of Chu was located.

In the promotion of the two-tier system of prefectures and counties, the biggest change must be the most basic state level, which is equivalent to an average of three county government offices, and should be integrated into one state government office.

At the same time, the supporting team of the state government office is also much more comprehensive than the original county government office!

Originally, in the territory of Chu State, ordinary small counties, the six departments at the grassroots level were generally incomplete, and they were mainly part-time, which could be regarded as a hole left a long time ago - after being merged into a "state", it would also be like a puzzle piece, becoming a larger and more complete part.

And from the beginning of the road construction plan after the emergence of cement, to the current railroad tracks have to be paved, the convenience of transportation also means that the jurisdiction of the grassroots government can be completely larger!

Of course, Chu did not give up the more grass-roots "pavilions" and "townships", but there is no need to set up six departments in Tinghe Township, but there are also township districts and pavilion offices, among which the township chief and pavilion chief are the responsible persons, and the main officials need to be suspended in the six departments......

There are also two levels, military and prison, independent of the state and county - the "army" is where the garrison is located, and the "prison" is the location of large and important official workshops or salt and mines.

For example, the shipyard built by Gan Ning in Sanyin was the "Sanyin Ship Supervisor" in the planning, and the station of the First Division of Xinye was the "Xinye Army", and those important mining areas were ......

These are naturally the direct responsibility of the six ministries or the Privy Council, and are not controlled by the local states and counties, and the states and counties have their own small and medium-sized official offices that support and develop.

There is also a certain number of city guards, which are essentially different from the garrisons managed by the Privy Council, the former is stronger than the security in the city, and the number of Jizao soldiers is usually very small, only enough to lay a city wall outpost, and it is more focused on "law and order" than fighting!

The garrisons in various places are the real armies that can fight and retreat.

In addition, in addition to the military system innovation of the military rank system, the Chu State also refined many new military regulations.

Theoretically, in the face of a large enemy invasion, the city guards could surrender directly to ensure the safety of the people in the city, and did not have to participate in the war.

When the garrison undertakes the task of defending the army, the conditions for surrender are set by specific requirements, such as the period of food cut, the ratio of friend to enemy, and so on......

However, the red line is the casualties of the people – in any case, if there are more casualties as a result of surrender, it is considered treason, that is...... If the enemy army is rushing to slaughter the city, the defender must die in front, and one more is killed.

On the contrary, if the people of Chu are preserved when there is a great disparity between the enemy and us, although there is no blame, as for whether they will be deceived by the enemy...... Follow the consequentialism – based on real results.

If you surrender in accordance with the regulations, the state of Chu will not only not punish, but will actively ransom people after the war, and if the redemption fails, it will treat your family members well.

Even if he is captured after the defeat, he can theoretically surrender unconditionally - he will not accept the defection, but he can also wait for the Chu State to redeem him.

After redemption, how to deal with it depends on the division of responsibility for defeat, and the non-war fault will not be affected.

Those who cannot be redeemed, especially those who are innocently plundered, can be treated as appropriate on the basis of not harming the interests of Chu - for example, ordinary government officials, who are captured after the defeat of the garrison, and the enemy army does not accept redemption, in this case, they will not be pursued by the Chu State, but no matter what the circumstances, leaking the secrets of the Chu State and harming the interests of the Chu State will be investigated afterwards.

Of course, those who surrender without a fight and surrender in fear of war are treason and their families are ...... It is not popular, but the descendants within three generations do not want to enter an important university such as Yanwutang, or hold an important position.

In fact, this regulation is not only to treat Chu generals well and enhance their internal sense of belonging, but also to the enemy army, it is also an "uncomfortable" thing, because after the "crime of defeating the army" is refined, the back road of the defeated generals has not been broken, and it is difficult to surrender to the defeated generals of the Chu State.

Not only the part that was "not the fault of the war", but even the generals who were responsible in the defeat often preferred to return to Chu to receive some punishment rather than choose to surrender directly.

The most important thing is that when the state of Chu has not pursued it, who can ensure that they are not surrendering by fraud?

Even if it is investigated and the descendants of the family are implicated, but in the case of not moving the actual punishment, there is completely room for redemption.

As for those who are completely cut off from the back......

Basically, there are problems with ability and character!

The battles that should not be lost have been lost, what else is there to say?

Is there too much dry rice?

The State of Chu has already proved that even if you really cook too much, you can promote cultivation among the people, and you don't need to raise more waste!

In fact, it can also prolong the life span of the population, and even ...... Slightly increases the chance of conception and fertility.

Of course, in terms of the army, the Chu State must be most concerned about the aspects of "concentricity of the army and the people" and "obedience to the imperial court".

Needless to say, maliciously disturbing the people and harming the people is a red line, and detailed regulations have also been made on the temporary requisition of materials by the army, and the targets stipulated are not limited to the people of Chu.

If you look at Badong County, you will know that when the Wancheng First Division and the Xinye First Division requisitioned additional grain in Yizhou, they also directly took out salt, jerky, etc. to trade, and requisitioned the grain storage of the big clan, and they also paid IOUs for the time being.

Even in Bozhou, the governor's palace and the savages who don't understand the language are all migrating to Lixin......

After all, the implementation of the military salary of the Chu State and the family members of the grassroots generals are also particularly preferential, and there is no need to use "legal looting" and "unspoken robbery" as bargaining chips to maintain the hearts of the grassroots generals of the army like other princes.

The only "flaw" is that the cost is too high -- not only the cost of paying military salaries and giving preferential treatment to military dependents, but more importantly, in order to maintain and strengthen this feeling, it is not only necessary to carry out corresponding activities, but also to ...... Regardless of military rank, generals who violate principles must have the courage to divide and punish them.

The latter is the real "cost......

Over the years, Pan Zhang is not the only one who has been demoted and beheaded at all levels, and there are several military ranks higher than him!

And the benefits are too many......

Not only has the Chu army surpassed the category of "ancient army" in terms of military spirit and conviction, and has reached the level of a modern army in terms of quality, but also in foreign wars, it can also weaken the civilian resistance of the occupied territory!

Yan Yan has been operating in Ba County for several years, and his jurisdiction is in Yizhou, and both the military and the people's hearts are definitely much higher than the average, but Badong has only been lost for more than half a year, and now the people of Padang are already "happy".

In the newspaper of Jinling, I often see letters of thanks from the people of Badong, as well as complaints against the Marquis of Shu, and in the newspaper of Badong, I often see the real treatment of the people of Chu, and I hope that the war zone order will be lifted as soon as possible......
