Chapter 248: Lack of Manpower

Zhang Xixin took up the post of Nanjun Taishou and spent more than ten days of hard work, carefully reading various official documents of Nanjun in the first half of the year, and became familiar with the specific situation of Nanjun.

After reading it, Zhang Xi found that the work of this Nanjun Taishou was indeed much lighter than that of Badong County.

The government affairs here have basically formed a certain scale, and the way of doing things has also been fixed, unlike Patong County, which is a newly acquired land and needs to be rebuilt.

The officials perform their own duties, the people follow the order, and move according to the times, and there is no need for the newly appointed Nanjun Taishou Zhang Xi to seek any special governance methods.

Well, at least that's what the state and county paperwork says.

And all of this is thanks to Ma Liang and Ma Jichang.

Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best.

Ma Liang's ability is really much stronger than his younger brother Ma Yan.

Well. It may not be accurate to say this, Ma Jian is actually not bad, and he can play a great role in the right position, but unfortunately, he let someone in the wrong position at the wrong time, so he was scolded for nearly a thousand years.

And Ma Tan's death is somewhat or less. Forget it, don't want to.

All in all, Ma Liang and his younger brother Ma Jian prefer military affairs, Ma Liang is a civil official who governs the government, and governing the place is his greatest talent.

Guan Yu has guarded Jingzhou for so many years, and Zhuge Liang helped regulate government affairs in the early stage, but after Zhuge Liang entered Shu, all government affairs fell on Ma Liang's head.

Ma Liang helped Guan Yu to establish a complete set of bureaucratic management system, and at the same time built water conservancy, and renovated all the water conservancy facilities on the Jianghan Plain that were abandoned or damaged due to the war.

More importantly, Ma Liang persuaded Guan Yu to strengthen Jiangling City.

And the matter of reinforcing Gangneung City is actually quite difficult to say.

Now it seems that the reinforcement of the county defense can effectively resist the invasion of foreign enemies, but it is precisely because Ma Liang built Jiangling City too strong, which caused Guan Yu to return to the army after the Battle of Xiangfan.

Later, after Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he attacked Wu in three ways, and Zhu Ran of Jiangdong relied on the solidity of Jiangling City and cooperated with Sun Quan to repel Cao Pi's attack and keep Jingzhou.

Sometimes, things are so impermanent, Guan Yu and Ma Liang built Jiangling City with the original intention of keeping the foundation of Jingzhou, but later, they let the Jiangdong people take advantage.

Although Zhang Xi knew that this was the case, this Jiangling City still had to be repaired.

Not only do you have to repair it, but you have to build it stronger.

The Nanjun Taishou of the historical line is Mi Fang, but now, it is already him Zhang Yuanchang.

If this is not repaired to be stronger, how can it be used to delay Guan Yu's return to the army in the future.

All in all, Ma Jichang is indeed a rare talent in government affairs, if he hadn't died early, his future achievements would not be lower than Jiang Wanfeiyi's.

After all, when he was in Jingzhou, Ma Liang's reputation was much higher than Jiang Wan's.

And Ma Liang, now Ma Liang, is so anxious that he can't sleep.

There are some things, if you don't really take charge, you don't know the hardships.

When Zhang Xi first took office, in order to familiarize himself with government affairs, he basically read the work report of Nanjun in the first half of the year, and now it is August, and many things are actually different from now.

Therefore, after waiting for Zhang Xi to get acquainted with the situation in Nanjun, Ma Liang hurriedly pulled Yi and the two of them went to visit Zhang Xi together.

Zhang Xi naturally met the two warmly.

"Mr. Ji Chang, Mr. Boji, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you lately?!" Zhang Xi greeted Ma Liang and Yi with enthusiasm.

These two people were left by Liu Bei to help Guan Yu govern Jingzhou, and they were subordinate officials at the state pastoral level, while Zhang Xi was only the Taishou of Nanjun, and in terms of rank and status, Zhang Xi was still a subordinate.

However, these years are troubled times, and Zhang Xi's merits and status are all there, and Ma Liang and Yi will not really treat Zhang Xi as a subordinate.

Ma Liang and Yi also bowed in return and said, "Don't dare, I'll see the county guard later." ”

Then, it was a period of politeness, and then Zhang Xi invited the two to sit down, knelt down on the main seat, and waited for the two to explain their intentions.

Ma Liang and Yi looked at each other, and in the end, it was Yi who came forward to explain the situation.

Mainly because Ma Liang and Zhang Xi are really not familiar with each other.

When Ma Liang came out, Liu Bei was in Wuling County, Ma Liang followed Liu Bei, and Zhang Xi was in Jiangxia County at this time.

When Liu Bei got Nanjun, Ma Liang followed Liu Bei to Jiangling, and only had a quick encounter with Zhang Xi, and then Zhang Xi went to Changsha to preside over the transformation of the swamp.

Later, Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Zhang Xi accompanied him, and Ma Liang never saw Zhang Xi again.

Therefore, although the government affairs of Jingzhou are now dominated by Ma Liang, supplemented by Yi nationality, in terms of kinship, it is better for Yi nationality to be more familiar with Zhang Xi, and it is better for Yi nationality to explain to Zhang Xi.

Yi also knew this, so he naturally didn't push back, arched his hand at Zhang Xi, and said, "The chief is from Yizhou, have you ever understood the people of Nanjun recently?!" ”

Zhang Xi nodded and said, "Recently, I have checked the official documents, but I also know a thing or two. ”

Yi Ji took advantage of the situation and continued, "In this case, the Yuan Chang can know that Nanjun is now in danger. ”

Zhang Xi was puzzled. What's going on?!

Although it is said that literati like to exaggerate in these years, isn't this a bit too much?!

Reading the official document two days ago, Zhang Xi still thought that Ma Liang was a capable official, Jingzhou was well governed, and Nanjun was even more so, and he was planning to follow Xiao Gui Cao. Why is it that today the Yi nationality said that it is "as dangerous as an egg"?!

Zhang Xi was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Mr. Boji say this?!" Xi checked the official document the day before yesterday, and the spring plowing in all parts of Nanjun was smooth, the people's sentiment was calm, and there was no major epidemic, so I sighed at the work of the two gentlemen. Now Mr. said that "danger is like a tired egg", what does this mean?! ”

At this time, Ma Liang finally spoke.

Ma Liang first bowed his hand to Zhang Xi, and then said, "The county guard didn't know that half a year ago, the officials in all parts of the southern county were neat, and there were good officials in all kinds of affairs. But since the middle of the year, the lord sent Jingzhou officials to Yizhou, Jingzhou officials are missing, if it goes on like this, the autumn harvest, no one to instruct, I am afraid of delaying the big thing. ”

Well. Well?!

It is true that Liu Beixin has set Yizhou, and it is not false that he needs talent support and management, but as for the transfer of so many grassroots officials from Jingzhou to Yizhou? !

Zhang Xi was a little strange, so he remained silent and continued to ask, "I don't know how many officials the lord has transferred?!" ”

Ma Liang replied, "There are more than 30 officials and officials, most of whom are in the position of "Peng" and "History". ”

There are more than 30 people, and they are all the chief and deputy chiefs of various ministry officials, which is indeed a bit much.

Liu Bei is in Jingzhou, and he actually controls only three counties, and each county is about twenty such practical officials, and Liu Bei is transferred half of them at once, which will indeed seriously affect the normal operation of each county.

But why would Liu Bei do this?!

With Liu Bei's vision and ability, it is impossible not to see the disadvantages of doing this, even if the Yizhou family does not cooperate with Liu Bei, Liu Bei does not need to send so many Jingzhou people to Sichuan to govern.

Moreover, even if Liu Bei can't see it, then Zhuge Liang, a god with full internal affairs ability, he can't fail to see it.

Finally, it is also the most puzzling place for Zhang Xi - the place of the dignified Jingxiang, can't even find thirty middle-level management talents?!

Yes, the literacy rate in these years is low, and there are few talents, but the families of Jingxiang, if they really have the heart to make up, thirty talents who can serve as this kind of middle-level management can still be found, right?!

Suddenly, Zhang Xi somewhat understood why Liu Bei did this.

On the one hand, probably because Liu Bei is now resident in Yizhou, it is inconvenient to directly manage Jingzhou, for fear that the Jingzhou family will take the opportunity to make trouble, so half of the middle-level managers who are in charge of Jingzhou's government affairs are withdrawn, so that Guan Yu can better control Jingzhou.

On the other hand, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang probably also want to force the Jingzhou family to take another batch of talents to come out, so as to deepen the binding between the Jingzhou family and Liu Bei Group, and they will sell Guan Yu in the future like selling Liu Biao.

If that's the case.

Zhang Xi looked at Ma Liang and Yi Yuan, and said with a smile, "The lord should have his own plans, and we are vassals, so we just need to do what we are told." ”

Well, well, anyway, I won't accept it.

Ma Liang was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly persuaded, "Why did the county guard say this." On behalf of the monarch and the shepherd, how can he be so inactive?! In addition, the lack of officials in the county affects the people's livelihood, which is also a big crime. ”

Zhang Xixin said, I thought twice, it's because I thought twice, so this matter has nothing to do with me.

And when Yi Ji looked at Zhang Xi like that, he knew that Zhang Xi really didn't want to interfere.

But if you don't interfere, then when it comes to the autumn harvest, you and Ma Liang will have to be responsible for the state affairs and help the people below to deal with the practice, so you have to be tired to death.

Therefore, the Iraqi people hurriedly joined the ranks of persuasion.

"Yuan Chang, now that there are not enough officials, Yuan Chang has the heart to govern, and I am afraid that no one will cooperate, so won't he miss a big event?!" Yi said, "Therefore, I also ask the governor to report the situation in Jingzhou to the lord, and ask the lord to return to Jingzhou to recruit officials. It doesn't take much, just more than ten people. ”

Yi not only persuaded him, but also proposed a solution - it would be good to let the people of Jingzhou come back.

But Zhang Xi figured out Liu Bei's purpose, where could he still use such a heartless document.

So, Zhang Xi smiled and said, "If it's just a shortage of manpower, it's okay!" ”

Saying that, Zhang Xi stood up and said to Yi and Ma Liang, "Xi has obtained two talents from Badong County, one is called Li Qiu and the other is called Zhang Wei, both of whom have the ability to govern the locality. ”

Ma Liang and Yi said that they were lonely.

Is this something that can be solved by two more people, and the shortage of officials is as high as more than 30 people.

Besides, you've recruited two talented people from Patong County that you haven't heard of. Wait, what the hell?! Where did it come from?!

Patong?! Isn't that a native of Yizhou?!

You let two Yizhou people be the magistrates of a county in Jingzhou?!

What are you kidding, deceive me and no one in Jingzhou?!
