Chapter 152: Changing Jobs
Pingwu County, the Mansion of the Demon General. Song Qingshu was crouching in front of the case and writing hard.
Killing no flowers and annihilating 5,000 elite horsemen means that the task of saving Pingwu County has been completed by more than 90 percent. It is impossible for Yuan Ting to send troops over in a short period of time. Besides, even if he is sent over, he is not afraid, the Sword Pavilion is in hand, and Yuan Ting wants to attack Pingwu, it is simply wishful thinking!
In this case, Song Qingshu, who has always taken completing tasks and breaking through the life grid as the highest goal, should be very leisurely. But in fact, he is not idle at all. Not only is it not idle, but it is also very busy.
Song Qingshu has always firmly believed that Tianyun Stone will not issue meaningless tasks, and any task will have a far-reaching impact. Because only in this way can we change the operation of the Heavenly Dao to the greatest extent, cause the Heavenly Dao to be shaken, and thus change our life against the sky.
Song Qingshu didn't know how this small Pingwu County could get into the eyes of Tianyun Stone and become his own task. But this does not prevent him from making some guesses and thus making some preparations.
maybe
I would prove his guess wrong, but so what. The ancients said that if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. Old Man Jin also said that the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.
At the moment when the Chinese nation is facing national extinction, is there anything wrong with being a bloody Han man doing his best to do something for his compatriots? No! Because it's everyone's obligation!
In Song Qingshu's view, laying a solid foundation for the small force of the Demon Army and burying the greatest development potential can be regarded as doing something meaningful for his compatriots. Even if it is
After i, he left Pingwu and left the Demon Army, and he was worthy of his heart! With this kind of thought, Song Qingshu decided to carry out a drastic reform of the Demon Army, and what he is currently doing is the various plans for reform.
"General, Li Cangxian ordered to see you." The guards came in and reported.
"Ask him to come in." Song Qingshu looked up and said.
"Yes!"
Li Cang is Li Sijiu, Sijiu is just the name of a pariah, since Li Cang has become a county order, in his opinion, he can be regarded as a glorious ancestor, so he naturally changed his name. The old man, too. Li Cang felt that he was over sixty years old, so he changed his name to Li Cang.
"I've seen the general." Li Cang bowed and saluted.
"Li County's order, please, don't be polite." Song Qingshu smiled lightly. But he did not go down to help him, heaven and earth have dignity and humility, and human ethics are orderly. Respect and humility are fixed, and order is established. Only then will everyone have a heart of awe and obedience, and only then can they be at peace with each other. At present, he is the dual leader of the Demon Swinging Army, both in name and substance, and he should pay attention to this.
"General Xie." Li Cang got up and said.
Song Qingshu then invited Li Cang to take a seat and instructed the maid to serve tea.
"Li County Order, how is the government affairs of the five counties?" Song Qingshu asked lightly.
Li Cang was nominally the county magistrate of Pingwu County, but due to the newness of the five counties and the lack of administrative officials, he had to be in charge of the affairs of the other four counties first. The land of five counties can be regarded as a government. Theoretically, at this time, Li Cang could already be promoted to prefect, but Song Qingshu did not do so.
He knows that power should not be overly concentrated, otherwise it will be the way to get trouble. It was only expedient to make Li Cang take charge of the four counties, and once there were suitable candidates, he would appoint them separately. In the current Demon Army, the only one who can monopolize power is himself!
"Back to the general, the most important job at the moment is spring ploughing. After the general ordered the wounded horses in the army to go to the fields to plough the fields, the fatigue of the people was greatly reduced, and the spring plowing work was successfully completed. The people of the five counties all felt the great virtue of the general. Li Cang stood up and bowed again and said.
"Grain and grass are the foundation of the country, and only when there is enough grain and grass can the people's hearts be stable. The five counties were initially decided, and Li County's order was able to successfully complete the spring ploughing, which was really indispensable! Song Qingshu praised.
This is a subordinate duty, and I dare not praise it. It's just ......" Li Cang was a little talkative and stopped.
"Li County Ling has something to say, although he says it clearly." Song Qing wrote.
"General Hui, it's just that the county orders of the four counties are still lacking. After the surrender of the four counties, the original Yuanting County Order could no longer be used. The subordinates originally wanted to appoint the county gentry as the county commander, but the gentry avoided it one after another, and for a while, there was no one available. Li Cang smiled bitterly.
"Humph!" Song Qingshu snorted coldly, the Demon Swinging Army is newly established, its strength is weak, and God knows when it will be destroyed by the Yuan Court. These gentry judged the situation and refused to come over, for fear that it would be appropriate for the Yuan Court to settle accounts after the autumn.
Shuzhong is really full of mediocre people! Although the Demon Sweeping Army is weak, with the existence of its own traveler in the afterlife, how can it be easily destroyed! Moreover, at this time, the rebels in the world are all around, and the Yuan Court is already at sunset, which is a truth that everyone with a discerning eye knows. These gentry are short-sighted, and they are still immersed in the fantasy of being obedient to the Yuan Court, so if they don't have tomorrow, they will suffer disaster in the future!
No wonder, in the huge land of Shu at the end of the Yuan Dynasty in history, there was no righteous army! It wasn't until Xu Shouhui's ministry attacked Ming Yuzhen into Shu that the cause of the king of Shu was achieved! Song Qingshu pursed his lips disdainfully and complained fiercely in his heart.
It's just that although I don't look down on these gentry in Shuzhong, it is also a fact that there are vacancies in county orders in each county. If the problem of the officials in each county is not resolved, the jurisdiction of the Demon Swinging Army will be in chaos. Relying on Li Cang to manage the four counties alone is obviously not a long-term solution, and besides, Li Cang is not a political wizard, at best it can only be regarded as usable.
For a while, Song Qingshu had a big headache, there are always some things in this world that cannot be achieved by force. You can't use a knife to force someone to be an official! Just as he was in trouble, Song Qingshu's mind suddenly flashed, and a thought appeared in his mind.
He suddenly thought that he remembered that during the Liberation War of the Revolutionary Party in later generations, there was also a shortage of officials at all levels, how did they solve the cadre problem at that time?
Demobilized cadres! Four big golden characters suddenly appeared in Song Qingshu's mind. That's right, it is to arrange for high-ranking military officials to be equal, or demoted, and converted into administrative cadres, so that they can be enriched into administrative organs at all levels.
Haha, that's right, the wisdom of the predecessors is really infinite, no wonder the ancients would say that taking history as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. This method is also suitable for the Demon Swinging Army! It is true that demobilized military cadres do have all kinds of shortcomings, but they also have all kinds of advantages.
Compared with those officials who were born in the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, the discipline and obedience of these demobilized cadres are much better. And everything they have is given by Song Qingshu, and they will be his most loyal supporters. Their appointment as county administrators will play a great auxiliary role in the various policies he is about to promote.
Of course, the most important thing is that many officers have emerged in this total annihilation campaign, and more will emerge in the foreseeable future. He was pondering how to place them, and although for the time being, he could use the means of expanding the army to promote his ranks, but the positions were always limited, especially those of senior officers, which were extremely rare.
In this case, taking out the county orders of the four counties, as well as the officials at all levels in the county government, as a reward for these officers, can be described as killing two birds with one stone!
Song Qingshu told Li Cang his method, and at the same time carefully observed Li Cang's expression. He knew that the army didn't have a good reputation in ancient times. There has always been a saying that good men are not soldiers, and good iron is not nailed.
And the literati looked down on these Qiu Ba even more, and always regarded them as reckless men. If Li Cang also held this view, this method would not be easy to implement. Li Cang is the primary figure in the civilian aspect of the Demon Army, and his opinion is that Song Qingshu should also consider it.
Fortunately, Li Cang is not an orthodox literati, and a month ago, he was just a flat-headed commoner. Although it was somewhat strange that an officer of the army would be transferred to an administrative officer, there was no much opposition to it.
