The officialdom assessment of the empire is not complicated, it is nothing more than a point system. The origin of the points is to set a basic value according to the economy and people's livelihood of each place, and the basic value of each place is different, and the assessment points of each official are re-accumulated, so there is no such thing as which place is rich and who goes to the rich place to govern is easier to make political achievements.

In fact, the easiest places to make political achievements are in remote counties, because there is a poor foundation there, and as long as the officials are not too incompetent or lazy after they take office, they can casually make some political achievements.

There is a reason for such a point system, if there is no point system, those rich counties will be robbed, and the poor counties will be vacant.

With the points system, marginal counties that are prone to political performance are suitable for those who have ambition in their hearts, and who have the skills and abilities, and they are also easy to get the attention of the center because of some outstanding performances. As for the wealthy counties that are not so attractive to highly capable officials, even some relatively mediocre officials can maintain stability in moderation.

Li Si had a very good memory, and he was able to answer some of the best officials as soon as the emperor asked them.

"The people's livelihood construction in Dai County and Merge County has been increasing at a high speed as expected by the ruling government, but the development of Jincheng County and Wuwei County is surprising!" Lu Zhe was looking at the papers, he patted the ones in the northwest border counties, and closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

Li Si didn't speak, he thought in his heart that it was relatively normal for him to have political achievements over there, after all, there were not many Qiang people over there. As long as the magistrates were willing to put some effort into finding and naturalizing the Qiang tribe, the population of the county would increase quickly.

Absorbing the savage tribe and making it a list above the household register, similar things have never stopped in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The first country to do this most successfully was the state of Zhao, which had been integrating the Di people in the north of Zhao and some Zhongshan people since the time of Zhao Wu, and even the Yi people were among the objects of integration.

In addition to the Zhao State, the Chu State was relatively successful, the original territory of the Chu State was not too large, they only increased the population after the successive conquest of various southern savages, so they were able to fight the entire Central Plains with the strength of one country in the early Spring and Autumn Period. Later, the state of Chu was subdued by a group of younger brothers of the Zhou royal family led by the state of Jin. After they integrated into China, although they still continued to confront the countries of the Central Plains, their focus had been tilted to continue to open up to the south, and during this period, there was also a state of Wu that kept making trouble. But never stopped continuing south.

The number of southern savages fused by the Chu State is very large, because of the relationship between the aristocratic policies of the Chu State, the benefits generated are basically taken up by various major clans, and the Chu royal family has become an existence that can only drink some soup and water. Later, because of this, the successive kings of Chu lost interest in continuing to the south. Instead, it is to compete for hegemony with the various warring states in the Central Plains, at least if you win the Central Plains, the countries will get the city, and the Chu royal family can also increase taxes, not to the south, and any benefits will be swallowed up by the big clans.

The most famous for the fusion of savages is the Qin State, Li Si was born in the Qin Dynasty, and he knows the roots of the integration of Rong Di in the Qin State in the past dynasties, if there is no two or three hundred years of continuous integration of the Qin State against Rong Di, the Qin State has at least doubled in population, and the Qin State behind will not have enough national strength or manpower to go east to fight for hegemony. Finally, complete the unification of the world.

Almost all countries in every period have been doing things to integrate different races, so the contemporary people are not averse to the integration of different races in their hearts. It's just that. Because of Lu Zhe's propaganda on some things, under the change of thinking in the past ten years, people have begun to have two kinds of ideas about foreign races, one is that they feel that foreign races belong to the objects that should be conquered, and the other is that foreign races are only suitable for becoming slaves. The gradual change of thinking to not being so willing to accept the integration of different races is due to a series of reasons, not only in the dissemination of Lu Zhe's thoughts, but also in the allocation of resources.

You must know that the empire has been increasing social welfare, as long as people are registered, they will more or less receive a series of social welfare benefits from the government. Because of the theory of living space, people already know that resources are not unlimited, and that the welfare enjoyed by people under the same nation is based on the foreign conquest and plundering of the soldiers, and if the integrated alien race can also enjoy social welfare immediately, is this fair?

The empire needs a population, it needs a very, very large population, and it is possible to increase the population just by encouraging fertility, but that is a relatively long-term thing, and because the relevant resources required to encourage fertility are actually very terrifying, if it were not for the emperor's resoluteness in encouraging fertility, it would not be that no one would have objected to this.

It takes at least sixteen or so years for the doll to become a labor force from pregnancy to landing, and from landing to growth, but the current stall of the empire is too big and too big, because the rapid expansion can't wait that long, so what should I do? The only way to do this was to find races that could be blended, to increase the number of laborers available in a very short time, and many of the border counties were empty, and the people of the interior were not willing to migrate at all.

Li Si had heard from a certain source that the emperor did not like aliens at all, and the emperor was eager to eliminate all aliens he could see.

Lu Zhe doesn't like foreign races, that's a very certain thing, and it can be seen from how he treats Bai Yue and then looks at how to toss the surrounding races. Few people can understand that he has this kind of thought, after all, except for a few border counties, many people in this era have never been hurt by foreign races at all.

Lu Zhe has such a thought, not that he has suffered any harm from a foreign race, but that he has been repeatedly conquered by foreign races in Chinese history, which has brought him a kind of opportunity to cut off any threat, even if there is no threat, he has the idea of killing mistakes and not letting go.

It's no secret that the emperor doesn't like aliens, so are the Qiang people aliens? Or, can some of the tribes that originally belonged to the Yanhuang Miao descendants after consulting the classics still be regarded as the same ethnic group as the Imperial people?

"In less than two years, more than 200,000 people have been admitted to the household registration in the northwestern border counties. In the future, as we continue to find and store, there will be more of them. Lu Zhe couldn't see what he was thinking on his face, and sighed low before continuing: "They belong to the Yanhuang Miao descendant. I agree with this statement in my heart, but I can immediately enjoy various social benefits when I join the empire, and many people have opinions. ”

Li Si didn't think that the emperor was worried about the opinions of those people, after all, such a matter was a game, and there were more people in favor than against, and it was only in the northwest that the counties in the northwest could absorb the Qiang people to become an enforceable policy. Since there are more people in favor than against, and the policy is already being implemented. Even if there are twists and turns, there will not be much repetition. He believed that the emperor was worried about other directions, such as taking in so many Qiang people and then making them the main population of the northwestern border counties.

"Actually, they joined in. Then he entered the army and participated in the development of the Wehrmacht to the outside world, and those who said it naturally had no objections. Lu Zhe looked at Li Si with deep meaning and asked, "What does Li Qing think?" ”

"Your Majesty is absolutely right." Lees bent down and saluted. When the waist pole is re-erected. In his heart, he actually endured ecstasy, and he said, "The minister thinks that this is not enough. Maybe...... Should the Qiang people be moved inward and dispersed to various counties? ”

Sure enough, Lu Zhe immediately showed an attitude of "maybe it will work" when he heard Li Si, and seeing the joy on Lu Zhe's face, what Li Si said can be said to have won the emperor's heart.

"I still know that in addition to Li Qing's achievements in the law, he also has unique insights into civil affairs." Lu Zhe glanced at the ministers who were far away, and his eyes fell on Li Si. continued: "Does Li Qing have the idea of going to the northwest to take up a post? ”

Even if there was no such thought, the emperor had already spoken. Can Li Si still say no? The emperor's intention was clearly to let him preside over the internal relocation of the Qiang, and perhaps there was an additional task, that is, to try to attract the population of the interior to the northwestern counties, so as to enrich the population of the northwestern counties and achieve the national policy of consolidating after occupying the territory.

In fact, according to Li Si's idea, the emperor is too good to the common people, and the people are unwilling to emigrate, so it is better to force immigration, and there will be so many problems. But he just thought about it, even if he didn't even dare to mention it, after all, the empire was not the Qin State, and the emperor was not the first emperor, and now this emperor is not only extremely generous to the heroes, but also treats the common people with a parental attitude, so he will have almost god-like prestige in the country.

Unable to force immigration, Li Si should have a headache next on how to increase the population of the border counties. And he has many more headaches, such as moving inward after absorbing the Qiang people. It is equivalent to the performance of the magistrates of the northwestern border counties being affected, as the person who made the suggestion, can you see how much resentment or hostility will be received?

However, Li Si didn't care much about the complaints or hostility of his colleagues, and the most important thing he should do now was to make the emperor value, as long as the emperor valued other things could be secondary.

"Special circumstances and special treatment, after I return to Nanling, I will discuss with the ruler, and then several counties in the northwest will be tied together to form a transitional 'governor province', and Li Qing will be the first governor of the northwest." Lu Zhe was obviously thoughtful, and encouraged: "I hope that Li Qing will be the first governor of the northwest, and he will also be the last governor. ”

Li Si said: "The minister will not disappoint His Majesty. ”

The so-called governor's province is not unprecedented, Lingnan has set up a governor's province before, but Lingnan was more military-oriented at that time, and no governor was appointed, and Luo Shao, the general of Zhennan, was the leader; The Wajima Islands are currently an overseas governor's province, and several large islands, including the surrounding islands, are under the jurisdiction of the Wajima Governor's Office.

Luo Shao's achievements in Lingnan are obvious to all, so when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, the emperor does not have any stinginess, and he is a third-class marquis, and his official position is also the first lieutenant to become a military attaché.

With Luo Shao's example in the past, Li Si understood that if he didn't disappoint the emperor, the reward he received would not be much worse. He quickly calculated and measured in his heart, Xiao He estimated that he should retire from the position of consul in two more terms, and he didn't need to think about what else the emperor would do after Xiao He retreated, what he needed to think about was how far Zhang Liang could go in office, and whether Zhang Liang would satisfy the emperor. What kind of achievements should he achieve in the Viceroy Province in the northwest, when the emperor is not satisfied with Zhang Liang, he will become a replacement, or if he is done, he will become the next imperial consul of Zhang Liang.

Not...... It is no secret that Zhang Liang will become the next imperial consul, and the cultivation of official reserves is open at such a time. This is done because of the pressure on the successor of a particular position and the competition for other officials.

Competition includes talking about political achievements and other means, and if the successor of an official position is unable to resist the competition of his colleagues, the loser has nothing to do with the loser of any official position.

Worried about competition? In fact, even if there is no open competition for official positions, is there no clash among officials? It is better to make it public, put the extremely dirty things in the sun, and form a kind of supervision, so that the losers will not be ruined, and the competitors will not dare to use too dirty means.

The emperor did not stay in Chenjun for a long time, and on the third day after the resumption of his journey, Yan Bi, who had been staying in Dangjun, caught up again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already found out." What Yan Bi said was naturally about the Yu family.

Lu Zhe let out a soft "um", and his eyes were on Lu Pheasant, who was chatting happily with several sisters in the distance.

"According to investigation, Pheasant Niangniang has not made any moves, everything is from Yu's own assertions." Yan Bi could see that the emperor's face was tense and relaxed, and he smiled.

Lu Zhe really didn't want Lu Pheasant to become a person like in history, and he was naturally relieved to hear that Lu Pheasant didn't play a role in that incident. He thought to himself: "It's good for Lu Pheasant to focus on teaching his children, even if the way of education is a little wrong, in the future, let's see what kind of character Yi'er and Ying'er are, and give them the treatment they deserve." ”

"The day after His Majesty left Suiyang, Yu Ziqi arrived in Suiyang." Yan Bi said that Yu Ziqi is the head of the Yu family in Chu and the elder brother of Yu Ji. He said: "When the Yuzi period arrives in Suiyang, he stays in the Yu family's mansion in Suiyang. According to the investigation, Yu Ziqi was talking with Suiyang Yu about returning to the sect. ”

Of course, Lu Zhe knows who Yu Ziqi is, Yu Ziqi and Yu Ji are brother and sister, and the early encounter between the two brothers and sisters can be said to be unfortunate, all because of the rise of the Xiang family.

Xiang Liang has been lying on the salary to taste the guts, after the army in order to obtain military funds to kill a lot of wealthy families, Wu County Yu family is under the operation of Xiang Bo, but I really don't understand how Yu Ji and Xiang Ji became lovers, Yu Ji, who became a lover of Xiang Ji, seems to be more complicated. In the end, Xiang Yu will be defeated, and Yu Ji doesn't know why she is so generous to Liu Bang's family...... (To be continued.) )
