After Guo Jia heard this, he said: "It is indeed possible for this Chen Wen to participate in this observation activity, but when the time comes, the lord only needs to bite to death Chen Wen's provocation first, and Baiyun City is forced to fight back, so even if some princes and leaders want to help, they have to weigh it." At the same time, now that Chen Wen is in an absolute weakness compared to my Baiyun City, other forces can also see this clearly, and when the time comes, there will definitely be more forces to help my Baiyun City than to help Chen Wen. ā
Yang Tian nodded and said, "This is only a matter of luck, so this matter is settled!" It's just that Feng Xiao just said that I will lead the Yangzhou pastor, I think this is a little inappropriate, after all, I am now a Yizhou pastor, and it is inappropriate to add another Yangzhou pastor, I am afraid it will cause other people's gossip. I will build yƬ this Yangzhou pastor's position by Fengxiao you to take it on your behalf! ā
Guo Jia immediately said: "Lord, this law is not appropriate, the lord now has the position of Yizhou pastor, if his subordinates also lead Yangzhou pastor, wouldn't it be fair to sit on an equal footing with the lord?" That's disrespectful! ā
Yang Tian frowned slightly, and said: "In this case, don't want this Yangzhou pastor, and directly include the three counties of Yuzhang, Danyang, and Wujun into the jurisdiction of Yizhou, which is also easy to manage." ā
Guo Jia said: "Although the Lord's policy is also feasible, it is a bit of a waste of this great opportunity. No matter how big this territory is, if the lord has two states and two states, then in this troubled world, he can have more say. Besides, for the time being, we have indeed only occupied the three counties of Yuzhang, but in the near future, the other counties of Yangzhou will also fall into the hands of my Baiyun City, and when the time comes, if all of them are included in the scope of Yizhou. This Yizhou is a little too big. ā
"This ......" Yang Tian also knew that what Guo Jia said made sense, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Then let's do it!" I will no longer hold the post of Yizhou pastor, I am in charge of Yangzhou and Yizhou counties in the name of the right general, and in this troubled world, I can barely say it. In this way, Fengxiao, you can always receive the post of Yangzhou pastor, right? ā
Guo Jia nodded and said, "This method is not bad!" However, the subordinates will not say whether they will receive the post of Yangzhou pastor or not, but first talk about the subordinates' construction of these two states. I wonder if the lord is interested in hearing it? ā
"Bongxiao, please speak!" Yang Tian said.
Guo Jia said: "A state is different from a county, and a state pastor already has the strength to divide one side. And even more so judging by the current situation. There are only two states under the name of the lord, and the power of the state pastor is too great, but in order to ensure that it has enough influence on the outside world, it is inconvenient to revoke the name of the state pastor. In the opinion of subordinates. The best way to do this is to centralize power. Concentrate most of the power in the hands of Baiyun City. Intensify the control of the two states, so as to reduce the possibility that the two states will be in a big position in the future. And in the process of centralizing power, the most important thing is military power. The second is financial power, as long as these two rights are firmly grasped in their hands, even if Yangzhou and Yizhou are developed, they are not enough to threaten the status of the lord. ā
Yang Tian understood and said: "Feng Xiao means that the state pastors of these two counties only manage the administrative affairs of the entire state as a whole, and the military power and taxation are managed by Baiyun City?" ā
Guo Jia nodded and said, "That's right! In fact, this is also a last resort, after all, Baiyun City is not the same as other forces, even if it is a city guard, the lowest is a seventh-order storage zĆ i, and it is also the main army among other forces. The number of city guards in a county will not add up to a lot, but the city guards in a state is a huge number, although it cannot compete with the entire main army of Baiyun City, but two or three main army corps can still fight equally, this hidden danger cannot be ignored. Therefore, when the subordinate states set up the state pastor, they also need to set up a military staff, who is fully responsible for the overall planning and dispatch of the city guard army in a state, and is the same as the commander of the main army, directly obeys the orders of the lord, and is not under the jurisdiction of the state pastor. ā
Yang Tian thought about it and felt that what Guo Jia said was also reasonable, although Yang Tian was not a person who particularly liked centralization, but in this troubled world, centralization was undoubtedly more secure. At that moment, Yang Tian said: "Okay! According to Fengxiao's words, all state pastors are graded from the second grade, and the first should be twice as high as the imperial court, and the status is equivalent to that of the commander of the main army. At the same time, each of the two counties has a lieutenant, who is in charge of the military affairs in the state, and his status is equivalent to that of the state minister. It's just that in this way, Fengxiao your state pastor can't be the governor, and putting you in this position is a complete waste of talent! ā
Guo Jia smiled, but did not speak. Yang Tian saw something from his expression, this guy had already thought of this result, but there were some words that were inconvenient for him to say, so he guided himself to make this decision.
Fortunately, Yang Tian was not dissatisfied with this, in his opinion, with his occupation of Yangzhou, the official system of the entire Baiyun City really had to be replanned. It just so happens that Guo Jia has given himself a wake-up call, so that he can plan in advance.
Just do it when you think of it, this thing is not very complicated, so Yang Tian immediately asked Xun Yu and Wang Lao to summon over, originally Yang Tian also planned to call Jia Xu and Huang Zhong and others back, but because the war in Yangzhou is urgent, they can't get out, so Yang Tian gave up this idea.
After the four of them discussed, they finally had a rough idea.
The foundation set by Yang Tian and Guo Jia just now remains unchanged, in terms of government affairs, Xun Yu oversees the entire Baiyun City territory, Wang Lao assists from the side, the previous positions of Cao Peng have not changed, but the official rank has been increased, of course, this improvement has not been recognized by the imperial court, the only difference is that their Yulu is a lot more, taking Xun Yu as an example, now he has enjoyed the same treatment as the second-grade official position of the imperial court, and Yulu is still twice as large as the current second-grade official of the imperial court, but his own position is only from the third grade. This is also a helpless thing, because these people all belong to Yang Tian's subordinate officials, and with Yang Tian's current official position as the right general, it is not enough to divide the official positions above the third grade, so he has to adopt this compromise method.
Compared with Xun Yu's government officials, they are the twelve main armies of Baiyun City and the three major naval fleets. Although these fifteen military units are the main army of Baiyun City, their levels are not the same as each other, among them, the six legions of Qinglong, White Tiger, Lieyang, Yanlong, Qilin, and Jinfan Water Army are of higher rank, and the commanders of the legions all enjoy the treatment of the second grade, and the commanders of the other nine main armies enjoy the treatment of the third grade. As for Guo Jia and Jia Xu, whether it is treatment or official rank, they are the same as Xun Yu. And their real levels also ranged from the third rank to the fourth rank, because they were also Yang Tian's subordinate officials. (To be continued)
