Chapter 505: Governing the State and Inviting Talents
The situation is under the control of Jixiu, Cao Cao went north to conquer Wuhuan, and at this time he was stunned by the "dog war." And his northern frontier has been consolidated, Kebineng's eastern Xianbei does not dare to go south to be his enemy, Yanmen Pass and Huguan are in their own hands, and Hebei is very quiet.
In addition, now that he has withstood Liu Bei's first round of attacks on Yizhou, he can counterattack from next year, attacking Jingzhou from the two directions of Jiangzhou and Wancheng, and as soon as he makes a move, I am afraid that Jiangdong will not lag behind again, and Liu Bei will definitely be defeated.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and temporarily suppressed this thought, only to hear Zhang Xiu ask: "Wen Wei, what is the situation in Yizhou now?" Li Ru smiled slightly and said: "Since the lord retired Liu Bei, the Yizhou family has never dared to make any changes, and has also cooperated with the lord's decrees, plus the officials at all levels transferred from Chang'an have entered Sichuan and assigned many positions in Yizhou, and the situation in Yizhou has been controlled." Laws, decrees and other things were implemented according to the standards set by Chang'an, and the Yizhou War ended before the autumn harvest, so this year's harvest was very little affected, and the Yizhou granary was abundant, and the people were not short of food. This winter can be used by local officials of all sizes in Yizhou to familiarize themselves with the Chang'an decree, and after the spring of next year, the organization of spring ploughing can reduce the generation of problems, and after speaking, Li Ru glanced at Dong He in the back.
Dong He willed, and handed the bamboo slips that recorded the specific situation of each county in Yizhou to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu took the bamboo slip and opened it to see, but his eyes were bright, when he captured Chengdu, Xu Jing also showed Zhang Xiu the bamboo slips that recorded the situation of the counties in Yizhou, but Zhang Xiu only glanced at it and threw the bamboo slips away. It was really that those bamboo slips were too chaotic, Zhang Xiu was used to seeing the situation of Zhong wanting and Zhuge grabbing records, and when he saw such a chaotic record for a while, it was no wonder that Zhang Xiu threw it away.
However, now Zhang Xiu is looking at the bamboo slips, but after Dong He's new arrangement, because Zhang Xiu has seen the chaos of the original records, now when he sees such a neat nature, his eyes are bright. Moreover, Zhang Xiu carefully scanned all the items, and now Dong He has not missed it, which is exactly the same as the record made by Zhong Ci. From a small view of the big, Dong He can sort out all the chaotic records of Yizhou for more than ten years in a short period of time, and re-record them, it can be seen that Dong He is definitely a capable person.
After reading it carefully, Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction. However, through the records compiled by Dong He, Zhang Xiu also felt that Yizhou actually had a lot of problems. One of the points is that Yizhou is too big, and the northern part of Yizhou, which is mainly controlled by the Han people, has Shu County, Guanghan, Ba County, Jianwei, and Hanzhong. But in terms of land theory, a county is almost as good as the three auxiliary places in Guanzhong.
As the saying goes, heroes see the same thing. After Zhang Xiu put down the bamboo slip, Dong He arched his hand and said: "My lord, I think that the land under the jurisdiction of the counties of Yizhou is very large, and the roads in Yizhou are difficult, and a county is too guarded to govern such a large place, just because of the road problem, it cannot completely govern the land of a county." In addition, people's energy is also limited, which results in only a few places in Yizhou where the majority of the population is concentrated, and the rest of the places are uninhabited, so it is better to separate some of the larger counties in Yizhou to make it easier to govern. ”
Zhang Xiu heard this and asked with interest: "How do you think the young master can be separated?" ”
Dong He arched his hand and said: "For example, Ba County, the northeast of the entire Yizhou will be under the jurisdiction of Ba County, and a Ba County is almost comparable to the sum of the three auxiliary places in Guanzhong, so he thought that the current Ba County could be separated, and the three counties of Padang and Brazil and Beiling were separated, and then Guanghan County, the Han system actually belonged to Guanghan, but Liu Jiyu divided Zhanghuang because of the war and set up another county. There is also Shu County, the northern part of Shu County belongs to the Hanshan Mountains, which is completely different from the plain terrain outside Chengdu in the south, in fact, it can be divided into two counties. Then there is the Hanzhong County originally owned by the lord, the east belongs to the Hanzhong Plain, which is an important place for grain production, but the west is a mountainous area, Wudu and other places have valley roads connecting Chencang, Tianshui, Tongguanzhong, Liangzhou, and then the Yinping in the west is through Longxi, so in fact, the current Hanzhong County can also divide Wudu and Yinping into two places, and set up another county. In this way, it greatly facilitates the lord's governance of Yizhou. ”
Zhang Xiu heard this, and secretly calculated that Dong He's intention was actually to re-divide the county according to the terrain, and one Ba county would be divided into Brazil, Padang, and Fuling, plus the remaining nearby places centered on Jiangzhou as the new Ba County, then one Ba County would become four counties. For example, the current Hanzhong is divided into Hanzhong, Wudu, Yinping three counties, Shu County is divided into Hanshan and Shu County, Guanghan is divided into Zhanghuang and Guanghan, plus the south and the south of Yizhou is connected to the key for the county, only one north of Yizhou, is divided into twelve counties. The southern part of Yizhou is not controlled by Zhang Xiu for the time being, and Dong He did not propose to split the southern counties of Yizhou.
But I have to say that such a split does facilitate the governance of northern Yizhou. Xianbadong and Fuling can be ignored for the time being under Liu Bei's control, and for example, Wudu, Yinping, Hanshan, Brazil and other places actually do not need much manpower, and the main manpower should be concentrated in Hanzhong, Shujun, Wauhuang, Guanghan and Jiangzhou.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xiu nodded and said: "What Youzai said is reasonable, so the matter of splitting the counties will be handed over to Youzai to be fully responsible, and the three of them will be transferred from Chang'an to assist."
Dong He heard it and replied: "Thank you for your trust." small
Zhang Xiu also had his own plans, and transferred Meng Gongwei and the three of them in, plus Dong He and Qin Yu, two people who were pro-Zhang Xiu, and the five of them were appointed as the Taishou of Hanzhong, Shu County, Zhanghuang, Guanghan and Xinba County Jiangzhou. With these five places firmly in hand, Yizhou can be determined. As for other places such as Brazil and Hanshan, the population is not large, and it is enough to find some people who rank high in the imperial examination to govern them. And Zhang Xiu can also use these poorer places to give future talents a stage to display their skills. For example, Fei Xi, Dong Yun, etc., who will grow up in a few years, will naturally not be assigned to important places as soon as they become officials, and these poor places are suitable for them to perform, and they can use their outstanding talents to improve the lives of the people in these poorer places.
Zhang Xiu nodded and said to Li Ru: "Wen worry, you have been the Taishou of Hanzhong for many years, and you have worked hard, and you are ready to transfer you to the middle army division." ”
Li Ru heard this, and asked with some puzzlement: "Zhongjun Division? ”
Zhang Xiu saw Li Ru's puzzled appearance, patted his head, and said with a smile: "I was in a hurry for a while, but I forgot to say it." Root... Before and after the force, there are five major military divisions on the left. As well as the military division sacrifice in the military shirt has holes" belongs to the second grade, the middle military division belongs to the second grade, the front and rear military divisions belong to the positive third grade, and the left and right military divisions belong to the third grade. Wen He is now sacrificing wine for the military division, and Wen Wei is appointed as the middle military division. Xiaozhi and Shiyuan were the former and rear divisions respectively, and the left and right divisions were temporarily suspended. ”
When Li Ru heard this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the lord's love, Confucianism will do his best to assist the lord." ”
This time, Zhang Xiu transferred Li Ru to the Central Military Division, not only to promote the officer, but also to transfer Li Ru back to the military attache department. In fact, with Li Ru's talent. It is indeed more suitable for marching and fighting. However, in the past, due to the lack of talents under Zhang Xiu, and the great importance of this place in Hanzhong, Zhang Xiu had to send a powerful figure to guard here, so he used Li Ru as the Taishou of Hanzhong, usually dealing with political affairs, and when there was a big war, he could give advice. But with the establishment of Zhang Xiu's system, this practice has violated the design of Zhang Xiu's civil and military division, and there have been people in Chang'an City who have said this matter many times in Zhang Xiu's ear, and now Yizhou has been captured, and Zhang Xiu's subordinates are not so short of talents. Li Ru can also be retransferred back to his military position, and his position is only under Jia Xu.
On the one hand, Xu Jing heard that Zhang Xiu had transferred Li Ru away, and he himself had been selected by Zhang Xiu to go to Chang'an to replace Cai Yi as the Ministry of Rites, so that Yizhou lacked people who could control the scene and became the pastor of Yizhou. When Xu Jing heard this, he immediately said: "My lord, although Xu Jing, the pastor of Yizhou, is not from Yizhou, but he surrendered Zhang Xiu for the sake of the people of Yizhou.
Zhang Xiu also read the meaning of Xu Jing's words, and laughed: "Wen Xiugong doesn't have to worry, Yizhou Muben has a candidate in his heart, but he is not here now." ”
When everyone heard this, they wondered, "Not here?" Only a few people, Li Ru, Fa Zheng, and Pang Tong heard it, and they laughed and said nothing.
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "But this talent is still in Chengdu, why don't you go with this general to invite this talent." Zhang Xiu opened his voice, and everyone naturally didn't dare to disobey, and they all went out of the Taishou Mansion of Shu County with Zhang Xiu.
I saw Zhang Xiu poison and everyone came to a mansion in Chengdu, and when everyone looked at this mansion, they knew it in their hearts, and they secretly said: "It turned out to be him."
Xu Jing frowned and asked Zhang Xiu, "The lord wants to invite Huang Gongheng?"
Zhang Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! In fact, Huang Quan may be slightly inferior to Dong He in terms of governance, but his resourcefulness is still not to be underestimated, and the most important thing is that with Zhang Song being killed by Li Ru, Huang Quan has become the only remaining pillar of the Yizhou family. Although Zhang Xiu can also send someone to serve as the Yizhou pastor, but this not only can not appease the heart of the Yizhou family, but deepens the contradiction between Zhang Xiu and the Yizhou family.
When Xu Jing heard this, he frowned and said: "Huang Gongheng has always been an enemy of the lord, and the lord went to invite him, but I am afraid that it will be difficult!" ”
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and said, "How do you know if it will be successful if you haven't asked for it?" Ziquan, go knock Dan
Wang Shuang replied and stepped forward. At the gate of Huang Quan's mansion, a porter opened the door a few times, and when he saw Zhang Xiu's large group of people coming, and several Yizhou bigwigs were accompanying him, the porter knew that the heroic middle-aged man standing in the middle was not simple. Immediately transfer back to the house to report.
Before long, Huang Quan, who was wearing Confucian clothes and polite, personally went out of the door to greet him. Zhang Xiu saw it, and whispered to Xu Jing next to him: "Wen Xiugong, this Huang Gongheng is not so difficult to invite." After speaking, he strode towards Huang Quan.
Xu Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I hope I can follow after saying this."
Huang Quan also recognized Zhang Xiu, and bowed to Zhang Xiu first, and said, "The grass people have seen the general and the adults. The tone between the words was neither arrogant nor humble, which made the people behind Zhang Xiu look a little higher.
Zhang Xiu also returned the salute and said, "Gongheng is polite." ”
Huang Quan asked indifferently: "The grass people didn't commit any crimes, I don't know why the fat cavalry general and all the adults came to the grass people's mansion together." ”
Zhang Xiu heard this, and said with a smile: "Shrug Heng is going to talk to Ben General here?" ”
Huang Quan's face was still indifferent, and he said: "But it's the grass people who are rude, general, please inside." "Lead the way.
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, led everyone into the hall, sat down, and Huang Quan naturally ordered someone to serve fragrant tea. If it were someone else, he would definitely talk some inconsequential nonsense with Huang Quan. But Zhang Xiu was different, and asked Huang Quan first: "Gongheng is a famous person in Yizhou, and now the Yizhou pastor is hanging in the air, I don't know if Gongheng is willing to serve and help the general govern Yizhou."
When Huang Quan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhang Xiu to recruit himself as soon as he sat down and spoke, and he was using a big official like Yizhou Mu. After being stunned for a moment, Huang Quan lowered his head and thought about it, and then said: "Thank you for the general's kindness, but Quan has no intention of becoming a leader, and only wants to raise fish and study at home every day." ”
Zhang Xiu had expected it, and only smiled slightly when he heard it, and said: "Ben will only ask Gongheng, after more than ten years under the command of Liu Jiyu and his son, have you ever displayed all your skills?" ”
Huang Quan heard this, sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "No." ”
Zhang Xiu smiled even more on her face, and said, "Gongheng is willing to waste all his talent in vain?" You must know that life has been in the world for decades, if you can't win a name in history, how is it different from ants. I will know that Gongheng's wisdom and wisdom are the crown of Yizhou, and now I will treat it as the pastor of Yizhou, and ask Gongheng to help embroider! After speaking, he stood up and bowed to Huang Quan.
Huang Quan saw that his face was moved, and the indifferent look he had been looking at was gone, so he quickly got up and gave way, and immediately returned a salute to Zhang Xiu, saying, "General, Quan can't afford such a big gift." ”
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "This is a gift for embroidering talents, and Gongheng can naturally afford it." After saying that, he saluted again.
Huang Quan saw it, closed his eyes and sighed, and accepted Zhang Xiu's salute, and then returned the salute: "The general doesn't care about the previous suspicions, corporal Lixian, although King Wen worships the prince, it is just like this, if the right doesn't know what to do, then the book of the sages will be read in vain, and the right is willing to serve the general!" After speaking, he respectfully bowed to Zhang Xiu, and said in a condensed voice: "Langzhong Huangquan, I have seen the lord."
