Chapter 344: A Thousand Miles Follow the Prototype of the Three Provinces
Shi Bao and Deng Ainai are friends of Micro Time.
In addition, since Deng Ai discovered Shi Bao, he did not show contempt for Shi Bao because he was now in a high position, so Shi Bao did not have much restraint in front of Deng Ai.
Shi Bao, who was secretly complaining in his heart, hurriedly stopped Deng Ai's call, and he said to Deng Ai: "Shizai, if you have any questions in your heart, you can speak up, you don't need to call me a cousin." β
If you call it any longer, I'll be embarrassed to eat it again.
Deng Ai didn't know this in Shi Bao's heart, but in the face of his friend's proposal, he readily agreed.
Deng Ai motioned to the guards on the side to hand over a bowl of water, and after he took the water from the guard's hand and handed it to Shi Bao, he immediately asked what happened to Shi Bao in recent days.
Shi Bao, who once had the reputation of "Shi Zhongrong, unparalleled", how did it become this down-and-out appearance.
And why it has been a year since his letter was written, but Shi Bao is only now heading south.
Hearing Deng Ai's question, Shi Bao first ate a bite of bread, and then hurriedly drank a sip of warm water, and then he watched Deng Ai tell everything he had experienced during this time.
After the two sides exchanged prisoners outside Jianyang City on that day, Shi Bao, as a county soldier from Yecheng, was sent back to Yecheng by Sima Yi.
On the way back to Yecheng, Shi Bao took the opportunity to escape from the team.
As Shi Bao had expected at the beginning, his disappearance did not trigger a widespread manhunt by the Wei army, as he was not a pawn.
In this case, Shibao smoothly crossed the mountains and mountains all the way south to the outside of Xinye City.
But when Shi Bao came to the outside of Xinye City, it was when Mi Yang left Xinye to avoid Zhang Wen and other Jiangdong envoys, so Shi Bao pounced without accident.
But Shi Bao was not discouraged.
It's normal to be difficult to chase.
Inspired by this mentality, Shibao went all the way south.
However, since he had already eaten all the dry food on his body at that time, he had to hunt all the way south along the way.
This is undoubtedly time-consuming.
So when he arrived outside Xiangyang City in tattered clothes, Mi Yang actually led the army out of Xiangyang City the day before.
After learning the news, Shi Bao sighed without stopping.
It's not that he's angry, he's angry that his speed of going south is too slow, and he can only be a day away.
But Shi Bao is a very resilient person.
In history, after selling iron in Yecheng for several years without success, he turned to Chang'an to sell iron for several years, which shows the resilience in his heart.
Of course, the stone bag of this character will not easily give up the pace of pursuing Mi Yang.
On the day when he knew that Mi Yang led the army back to Hanzhong, Shi Bao immediately set off from Xiangyang to Hanzhong.
And because he was not familiar with the road and the previous lesson, Shibao did not delay time because of hunting along the way, and he continued to march towards Hanzhong under the direction of asking for directions along the way.
Under Shi Bao's perseverance, he finally arrived outside Nanzheng on the day Mi Yang arrived in Nanzheng.
It's just that Shi Bao in such a situation will now behave like a starving ghost in front of Deng Ai, which is understandable.
This is really a thousand miles chasing the Lord.
Shi Bao answered in detail what happened to him during this period of time, but avoided talking about the reasons why he didn't go south in time before.
For this careful thinking of Shibao, Deng Aiming did not break it.
They are both from poor families, and they all have the most unbearable past, so there is no need to ask for the bottom of the matter at this point.
Deng Ai just showed admiration on his face after listening to what Shi Bao had happened during this time.
In the case of not knowing whether it will be reused by Mi Yang, he can still follow Mi Yang all the way so firmly, which he Deng Ai can't do.
Fortunately, Shi Bao had his handwritten letter in his hand, otherwise Shi Bao, who was acting suspiciously, might not have been brought to see him by the Han soldiers.
Deng Ai picked up a piece of bread and handed it to the stone bag, looking at the stone bag in front of him, Deng Ai seemed to think of his previous self.
If he hadn't met Mi Yang, how much better would his current situation be than Shi Bao?
Deng Ai, who had empathy with Shi Bao in his heart, immediately opened his mouth to comfort Shi Bao and said:
"No matter how wronged you have been before, now that you have found me, I will take you to the prince as soon as my affairs are dealt with in a few days."
Deng Ai's promise made Shi Bao's dirty face finally show joy.
After hearing that Deng Ai had important matters to be busy in recent days, Shi Bao couldn't help but ask curiously: "The two armies have just stopped fighting recently, what is the matter that keeps Shi Zai busy for a few days?" β
Faced with Shi Bao's curiosity, Deng Ai felt that what he was busy with was not a secret, so he told Shi Bao what Mi Yang told him to do.
And after Shi Bao listened to Deng Ai's recent affairs, he couldn't help but show a strong look of envy on his face.
Shi Bao, who is proficient in military strategy, knows that the system of non-commissioned officers and soldiers taking turns is one thing that can greatly boost morale.
Because of the importance of this matter, the person who can handle this matter must not only have requirements for his own ability, but also be very trusted by the commander.
At present, Deng Ai can be responsible for Mi Yang, which shows Deng Ai's status in Mi Yang's heart.
Shi Bao couldn't help but think of the Han army's attitude towards him at the beginning after he was discovered by the Han army, but they treated him as a spy.
But just as he took out Deng Ai's handwritten letter to him from his arms, and the Han soldiers learned that he might be Deng Ai's friend, the attitude of those Han soldiers towards him turned one hundred and eighty degrees.
It can be seen that Deng Ai's prestige in the Miyang army is not low at all.
Both are from a humble family, and their ages are similar, but the life experience between him and Deng Ai is like heaven and earth, how can Shi Bao not feel envious?
Under the envy in his heart, Shi Bao suddenly sighed to Deng Ai:
"Bohai Zhongrong is incomparable, and there is still Deng Shizai in the world!"
After sighing with emotion, Shi Bao's heart couldn't help but have a strong desire:
I hope that in the future, Liang Zhoumu will also value him so much!
...
It has been a few days since Mi Yang returned to Nanzheng City.
In the past few days, Mi Yang has not been idle at all.
The newly established Liangzhou is like a start-up country, with so many things to take care of.
One of the most important is to build the state structure of Liangzhou as soon as possible.
Liu Bei had a court assistant left, he was in charge of the military and political affairs of a country, and Liangzhou also set up a state court to assist Mi Yang to control the military and political power of Liangzhou.
The first important thing Mi Yang has to do in the past few days is to confirm the officials of the state dynasty.
Otherwise, even if he has many reform measures in mind, he will not be able to implement none of them.
The position of the most important official in the state has been confirmed to be held by Fa Miao, and it is time to decide who will hold the other subordinate officials.
Although the position of state pastor was not common in the Han Dynasty, for hundreds of years, many subordinate officials of the state pastor have been customized.
Among the subordinate officials of the state pastor, in addition to the importance of the status and power of the other driver, there is also a position that is not less important than the other driver.
That is to engage in governance, referred to as governance.
When Wen Hui was appointed as the assassin of Yangzhou, Cao Cao wanted to find a virtuous person to assist Zuo Wenhui, so he said to Wen Hui: "Do you deserve Jiang Ji to govern the evil?" β
Later, Jiang Ji was appointed by Cao Cao as the driver of Yangzhou.
It can be seen that in the eyes of the world, sometimes there is the same power and status as the other driver.
Excluding the example of Cao Wei, let's just say that when Zhuge Liang was a different driver under Liu Bei, Pang Tong was in charge of governance, and from this we can know how high the status of governance is.
The difference between the two positions is that he often goes out with the state pastor to make rounds, supervise the states and counties, and is the first messenger of the state pastor's will.
The main purpose of governing is to take charge of specific affairs in the state under the leadership of the state minister.
However, the functions of the two cannot be simply divided, nor can they be confined to the written provisions.
The two are like the right and left hands of the state pastor, and all military and political affairs are often discussed and discussed, and they are not clearly distinguished.
Beijia is like the Zhongshu Province among the three central provinces of the Sui and Tang dynasties in later generations, which was mainly responsible for drafting documents for the state pastor and conveying orders to all the subordinate officials in the state for the state pastor.
And Zhizhong is like Shangshu Province among the three provinces, responsible for leading each Cao to undertake various affairs.
Of course, in the world, the nature of this kind of authority in the field of non-driving and governance is not very clear, and it can only be said that there are some tendencies.
However, Mi Yang, who was determined to reform, deliberately borrowed from the advanced systems of later generations to clearly demarcate the boundaries of his powers in advance.
Because of this thinking in my heart, coupled with the importance of the position of governance, the selection of candidates for governance is very important.
This person must have a strong executive ability, and he must be loyal to Mi Yang, otherwise the ideas in Mi Yang's heart will not be realized.
In the end, Mi Yang decided to recruit LΓΌ Yi to govern Liangzhou.
Needless to say, Lu Yi's executive power in government affairs is needless to say.
After the original battle of Xicheng, the reason why Mi Yang was able to lead the army to attack Wudang immediately without distraction was thanks to Lu Yi taking care of all affairs for him in the rear.
What's more, Lu Yi was originally his Hanxing County, and it is reasonable to be promoted from a county to a state.
After deciding on the candidate for good governance, the candidate for the main book made Mi Yang a little worried.
Among the subordinate officials of the state, the status of the main book is second only to that of the other driver and the ruler.
Although the rank of the main bookkeeper is lower than that of the other driver and the middle of the government, compared to the fact that the other driver sometimes has to go out to patrol the counties on behalf of the state pastor, the main book is the person who does not leave the state pastor at that time.
Due to this characteristic of the main book, the main book is often the confidant of the state pastor, and the promotion space of the master book is very large.
For example, Wen Hui, who was originally Cao Cao's main book, was appointed as the assassin of Yangzhou as soon as he was released.
For example, because of Mi Yang's own example, there is now a saying circulating in all counties of the Han Dynasty: "It is better to be a master book than a county order." β
The power of example is infinite, and under the influence of Mi Yang, many Han scholars now regard the position of chief bookkeeper as the best position for the poster......
In addition to the particularity of the position of the chief bookkeeper, it is also because in Mi Yang's conception, the chief bookkeeper of Liangzhou should assume the responsibility of the province in the later Sui and Tang dynasties.
The chief secretary of Liangzhou should not only be in charge of the state affairs with the other drivers and the governors, but also be responsible for reviewing the state decrees, and dare to point out his mistakes when necessary.
After all, Mi Yang is not a god, and he will make mistakes sometimes.
Therefore, from the perspective of the overall situation, it is necessary to appropriately give the main book a certain amount of power to review state orders in order to take precautions.
The organizational structure of the three provinces performing their own duties and checking and balancing each other has been verified in later generations.
It can be regarded as an organizational structure that is not only in line with the national conditions in the world, but also very advanced.
Because of the importance and particularity of the main book, Fa Miao kept proposing several candidates, but they were all rejected by Mi Yang.
In the end, after thinking about it, Mi Yang planned to let Deng Ai be his chief bookkeeper.
Although Deng Ai's political intelligence is not high, perhaps it is because of this characteristic that he can dare to point out Mi Yang's omissions when necessary.
He used to do this a lot.
In addition to this reason, what Mi Yang values is Deng Ai's loyalty to him.
Whoever has some power to contest his orders must be those who are extremely loyal to him.
Only in this way can we ensure that all the objections raised by that person are all for the sake of Mi Yang.
Mi Yang appropriately carried out a certain reform of the official system of the state and the dynasty, thinking of improving the administrative efficiency of the state and the dynasty, not so that people with ulterior motives could use it as a means to restrain him.
After deciding on the candidates for the Zhizhong and the main book, Mi Yang asked Fa Miao to write two formal recruitment documents first.
Then he gave another order.
That is to put most of the Cao in the state capital under the jurisdiction of Zhizhong.
Zhizhong was similar to the Shangshu Province of the later generations, and the functions of the Shangshu Province in the later generations were mainly carried out by the six departments under his jurisdiction.
The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry.
But many people may not know that as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, some names of the six parts appeared.
For example, Xu Yun, the servant of the Ministry who attaches great importance to Shi Bao.
It's just that the title of these six departments has not yet prevailed in the world, and Mi Yang does not plan to directly set up six departments in Liangzhou, because it is not necessary.
In the Han Dynasty, although the six divisions were not prevalent, there was the existence of Zhu Cao.
Gong Cao: Appointment and promotion of officials, performance appraisal.
Cangcao: in charge of warehouses, rents, markets, weights and measures, etc.
Hu Cao: In charge of household registration, field and other affairs.
Bing Cao: In charge of military affairs.
Fa Cao: In charge of criminal law.
Shi Cao: Transportation, architecture.
...
There are all kinds of Cao, and their functions cannot be said to be similar to the six parts of later generations, which is basically the state of overlap.
It can be said that the six departments of the later generations were started by the Cao of the Han Dynasty, in this case, why did Mi Yang bother to set up the six departments in one more move?
Mi Yang only needs to officially issue a document to bring these Cao under the rule.
As for this point, it is reasonable, because in the official system of the Han Dynasty, the original Zhucao was scattered under the separate jurisdiction of the other drivers and the Zhizhong.
Of course, it is impossible for Mi Yang to hand over all Cao Du to the subordinates of Zhizhong, otherwise the power of Zhizhong will be too great.
For example, Gong Cao's name is Cao, and in fact, his status is equal to that of an important position, and Mi Yang will separate him and be directly responsible to himself.
There is also Bing Cao, the official office that nominally controls the military in the state, and Mi Yang cannot give him so much power.
Soldiers who did not have much combat effectiveness, such as county soldiers and county soldiers, could be under the jurisdiction of Bing Cao, who was responsible for catching thieves and maintaining law and order in peacetime, similar to the police in later generations.
As for the military power of the regular soldiers used for the battle, Mi Yang must firmly and directly grasp the power in his hands.
Tens of thousands of troops are the greatest confidence for Miyang to carry out drastic reforms.
