After a period of busyness, Zhang Xi's busy pig brain was shaken into a chicken brain. It feels like the brain is getting smaller and smaller, and it's not enough.

During this time, it was the rectification of the salt affairs and the negotiation with the family, and Zhang Xi, who was holding back, couldn't help it, and wrote to Zhuge Liang to make some accusations.

In other counties, there are a lot of adjutants, and many things can be thrown to their subordinates to do, why do you come here and become a person who handles all the things by himself?!

Where's my jung? What about the superintendent? What about Gong Cao? What about the main book?!

You can't leave everything to me alone, can you?!

Soon, Zhuge Liang sent a letter back to Zhang Xi, expressing his condemnation and contempt for Zhang Xi.

To put it simply, it's a sentence - busy, don't bother, solve it yourself.

Zhang Xi was stunned for a while after receiving the reply, and then his mind turned.

The Han Dynasty practiced a dual monarchy, and officials at this level of county guards could recruit staff for themselves and serve as adjutants of a county.

Of course, if according to the convention, the position of the county chief or the chief of history must be appointed by the superiors, it is impossible for a county Taishou to completely control the real power of a county, there must always be someone who can check and balance.

But now it is a troubled time, and the position of county or long history, as long as Taishou reports, Liu Bei in Chengdu agrees, and it does not necessarily have to be appointed by Liu Bei himself.

That's what Zhang Fei, the Brazilian Taishou next door, did.

This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang replied to complain - this is not his business, Zhang Xi is busy, it is caused by Zhang Xi himself, and it has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Xi was speechless for a moment, and began to ponder where to pull someone to act as an adjutant in Padang County.

The simplest and most direct way is to win over the local wealthy families and hand over some adjutant positions to those from these families.

In these years, the family controls the ownership and interpretation of knowledge, and the probability of talents from poor families is very low, let alone the people.

The talents who can manage the state and county are basically from the big families, and occasionally some people from poor families are also inextricably linked with the big families.

Some time ago, Zhang Xi was rectifying the shortage of grain and grass, and rectifying the salt business, although the families did not have too fierce confrontation, but if you want to say that they are not dissatisfied at all, it is impossible.

And in this era, the fate of completely offending the family is not much better.

Therefore, Zhang Xi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to take out some of the positions of state and county adjutant officials to appease the wealthy families of Badong County.

It's just that it depends on what position it is.

The position of the county is the deputy of the county guard, if the county is out on the expedition, then the county will have to take on the duties of the guard, and also need to help the guard deal with some necessary official affairs Although it seems important, but in the final analysis, the deputy is the deputy.

As long as Zhang Xi, the county guard, remains in Badong County, this county is useless, and if Zhang Xi leads the troops to leave Padang County to fight, the remaining county guards will not have military power, only the right to handle government affairs, and there is no need to worry that the county will plot against Zhang Xi during his departure.

Moreover, the position of Juncheng is considered a high-ranking official, and his social status is not low, and he will inevitably be promoted to a county in the future, with great development potential, and it is obviously very suitable to buy the hearts of the family.

As for the rest of the staff

Gong Cao is in charge of personnel, this can't be given to the family, otherwise a county will be full of people from the family.

The main bookkeeper is in charge of the paperwork, this can be given, anyway, it is just a secretarial job, and the final decision-making decision has to be made by Zhang Xi himself

The superintendent is in charge of military affairs supervision, this can't be given to the family, the military power must be grasped, and the position of superintendent can't be handed over to people who are not at ease.

As for the lower-level officials at the level of "Peng" and "Shi", they can be handed over to local families, they are all local snakes, and it is difficult to carry out this kind of grassroots work without them.

Zhang Xi is not unaware of the importance of grassroots officials, but in this era, it must be implemented through the wealthy family, which is no way.

China's thousands of years of feudal dynasties have not been able to get rid of the constraints of local power, not to mention that it is the end of the Han Dynasty, when the power of local clans was at its peak.

Zhang Xi also knows the disadvantages of doing this, but there is no way, there is nothing that the emperors and generals of the past dynasties can completely change, and it is too difficult for him to do it alone.

can only conform to the way of doing things in this era, not only to attack the family, not to let them oppress the people too much, deceive the government, but also pay attention to befriending them, once they do not cooperate with your work, no matter how good your decree is, you will not be able to keep the government too much.

Therefore, Zhang Xi once again convened the representatives of the local wealthy families in Yuyu County, and conveyed to them the matter of recruiting adjutants in a county.

The clans immediately smiled and expressed their active cooperation, recommending the outstanding children of the clan to join the ranks, and at the same time, a stone in their hearts was also put down.

What Zhang Xi did some time ago really made the family worried.

Zhang Xi's style, whether it is the granary or the restoration of salt affairs by encircling the mountains and suppressing bandits, gives the family the feeling that Zhang Xi does not take the local family in his eyes at all, and is a person who relies on military power to do wrong.

The families of Badong County are basically branches sent by Ba County or Chengdu, and their background and strength are not enough, coupled with Zhang Xi's own status in Liu Bei's group, it is impossible for the Badong County family to slander Zhang Xi through the families in Chengdu City and let Liu Bei remove him.

Therefore, the families of Patong County have also contacted in private, trying not to offend Zhang Xi, but they will not cooperate too much with Zhang Xi's decree, as long as they ensure that they do not provoke this "stunned young man" too much.

But now, Zhang Xi's approach has made the clans feel that it seems that this county guard is not unable to communicate.

If a local family, especially a branch of a family like Patong, wants to grow and eventually become equal to its own family, it is not enough to accumulate wealth by annexing land locally.

After all, there is only so much land, and Padang County is not too big, and it is just another vassal of the family to survive by annexing the land.

Therefore, they also have to be officials, and with the young talents of the clan, they can gain fame in one side, and after several generations of accumulation, they can fight against their own family.

Therefore, compared with the main families in Chengdu City or Ba County, these families in Badong County are quite concerned about whether they can enter the office.

Not to mention, this time Zhang Xi suddenly took out such a high position as the county leader, as well as a lot of middle-level managers such as Shuzuo, Peng, and Shi, and the county orders of the five counties, except for the unlucky Hanfeng County county magistrate who lost his head, the remaining four are still people who are related to the local family.

The current families of Badong County suddenly felt much more pleasing to the eye when they looked at Zhang Xi.

The previous actions were probably just a means for the new county guard to kill chickens and monkeys, which is normal, normal.

That's right, this is the means that readers should have in this era, there must be warnings, and there must be benefits, and when everyone is familiar with it in the future, um, don't say, don't say.

As soon as Zhang Xi put down his official position, the families of Badong County immediately changed their attitude, from the beginning of the private tandem to Zhang Xiyang's disobedience to Zhang Xiyang, to find a way to raise their own children to a high position and become the head of a county.

Although Zhang Xi's original intention was indeed to buy the hearts of the local families, Zhang Xi himself did not expect that he would invisibly destroy the temporary alliance of the families.

The current Zhang Xi is mainly thinking about how these people recommended by the family can be.

In terms of the candidates for Juncheng, there is mainly competition between Li Qiu, who is recommended by the Li family, and Yang Tai, who is recommended by the Yang family.

The Li family is a big surname in Shu, almost all the counties in the land of Bashu have a family, in the romance to persuade Ma Chao, the second governor of the capital in the official history Li Hui, is the person of the Li family in Bashu, and it is not the head of the Chengdu family, but the head of the Jianning family.

And this Li Qiu is also the son of the head of the Li family in Padang County, and this Li family in Padang County is separated from the Li family in Jianning, and there is a relationship with Li Hui's family within three generations.

From this point of view, it can be said that the Li family is a veritable first family in Shuzhong.

Fortunately, Badong County is a new county established by Liu Zhang's reign, and the Li family of Badong County has not been in Padang County for a long time, and it has only been more than ten years, at least the influence in Padang County is still very average.

As for Yang Tai, it was recommended by the Yang family in Bajun.

The Yang family is also a large family, and its influence in Ba County is second only to the Yan family and the Huang family, and the Yang family basically does not go to Chengdu to develop, but has been staying in Ba County, at most, it has also divided a branch to Qianwei County to develop, and basically does not leave the one acre and three points of land near Ba County.

In other words, these two candidates are actually candidates selected by the great family who has just entered Padang County, and the other is a candidate promoted by a local family.

To put it bluntly, it is the competition between the "strong dragon" and the "land snake".

If this is a choice between the two, Zhang Xi will always offend one party.

The Li family has a lot of power, and in the land of Bashu, there are their divisions from south to north, and Zhang Xi doesn't know if these divisions and his own family are still united, but in terms of the size of the Li family, Zhang Xi feels that if he can, try not to offend.

And the local family in Badong County, Zhang Xi doesn't want to offend too much, after all, Zhang Xi needs the support of the local family for many things in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Xi pondered for a long time, and finally appointed Li Qiu as the county leader, and Yang Tai as the chief secretary and one person for one position, so that the two could not be offended.

The county is the deputy, and the chief secretary is the secretary, and both positions are very close to the county guard, and the positions are also very important.

That should be fine.

Anyway, Zhang Xi thinks it's okay, but between the Yang family and the Li family, they obviously don't think so.

Within a few days, Yang Tai recommended several "talents" to Zhang Xi - Qianwei Yang Opera and Bajun Cheng Qi.

Li Qiu was not polite, and directly recommended his friends - Xinye Deng Liang and Jianning Zhang Wei.

Obviously, the local Yang family and the foreign Li family, in order to install their own people and increase their right to speak, carried it.

But after Zhang Xi saw the list, he suddenly felt that he was a rabbit and nested in grass.
