Chapter 292: The County System

With the promotion of the territory, the Lianzhou Hou Mansion has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the promotion, the area of the lord's mansion has been expanded by more than five times, and it truly has the style of the Hou Mansion. The courtyard group of five entrances, the gate, the corner gate, the shadow wall, the hanging flower door are not the same, the hand verandah, the Yonglu, the hall are all kinds, the inverted seat room, the ear room, the partial room, the cross courtyard, the hugging building is scattered.

The size of the area and the number of courtyards made Ouyang Shuo, the owner, a little confused.

Bounded by the Hanging Flower Gate, the Lianzhou Marquis Mansion is divided into two parts: the "Outer Court" and the "Inner Court". The outer dynasty takes the main hall, the Wenhua hall and the Wuying hall as the core, and the functions of the three halls are basically the same as the previous courtyards.

Ouyang Shuo moved out of the Wenhua Palace, and there was an elegant courtyard specially built in the outer court, which was used as his study and his future office, so he no longer had to work with the directors.

In the inner court, in addition to the courtyard where Ouyang Shuo lived, there was also a school field dedicated to him practicing martial arts.

Wuying Palace, in addition to stationing in the Praetorian Guard Brigade, also set aside a courtyard for Bai Qi and other generals to work. As a general, if Bai Qi is not in the barracks on weekdays, he will handle military affairs here.

All in all, after the promotion, the functions of the Lianzhou Hou Mansion really tended to be perfect, and the rules and regulations were moderate.

After the promotion, the territory is bound to set off a military and political change.

Militarily, with Bai Qi's appointment and the formation of the Three Masters Regiment, there will be no major adjustments in a short period of time, at most, the formation of the City Guard Brigade and special forces.

The key is the adjustment of the political structure.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Shuo convened Fan Zhongyan, Tian Wenjing and Cui Yingyu to discuss the meeting.

The location of the meeting was chosen in Ouyang Shuo's study. After the secretary Lang Bai Nanpu made tea for the three directors, he left the study with interest and waited outside the door. He knew that this was an unusual meeting.

What puzzled Bai Nanpu was that among the five directors, Ge Hongliang, director of military affairs, and Shen Chai, director of material reserves, did not receive an invitation to discuss the matter. It is reasonable to say that Ge Hongliang, as a half military figure, does not participate in this political discussion, but why was Shen Chai not allowed to participate?!

Could it be that Director Shen was given a cold shoulder by the prince? Bai Nanpu shuddered, not daring to think about it further.

Ouyang Shuo didn't know at all that his actions had been figured out by the secretary Lang countless versions, and even if he knew, he might not be in the mood to pay attention to it. His mind is now focused on this political restructuring adjustment.

"What do you think about the future political structure of the territory!"

Fan Zhongyan and the three of them had already been mentally prepared for this, they knew that every time the territory crossed the ranks, the prince would have a big deal. The difference is that the prince did not directly throw out the reform plan this time, but wanted to listen to their opinions first.

If the prince wants them to talk about it, then they must talk about it, and they must also say a way, otherwise, how can they be worthy of being in a high position.

Fan Zhongyan was the first to speak: "Weichen believes that the first thing to adjust the political structure is to separate the Lianzhou Marquis from Shanhai City, so as to highlight the central authority of the Lianzhou Marquis and clarify the subordinate relationship. ”

Previously, Shanhai County and the Lianzhou Hou Mansion had a two-sided relationship and shared a set of governance teams. After being promoted, Shanhai City is just a territorial governor, and it will be out of place if it is mixed together like this.

"If the Lianzhou Marquis Mansion and Shanhai City are separated, then what is the relationship between Shanhai City and Tianfeng County and other affiliated territories?" Ouyang Shuo was noncommittal and threw out the next question.

"Since we want to separate, we must divide it completely. The statement of the dependent territories should also be changed. Wechen suggested that a three-level governance system of county, government and county should be implemented in the territory to clarify the subordinate relationship between each other. ”

Ouyang Shuo's eyes lit up, and he said with interest: "Let's talk about it in detail!" ”

"The entire Shanhai Territory can be divided into a county, and it will be called Shanhai County for the time being. The Lianzhou Hou Mansion, which is equivalent to the Jiedu Embassy, is in charge of the military and political power of Shanhai County. Below Shanhai County, a number of prefectures were established. In the west, with Tianfeng County as the center, Tianfeng Mansion can be set up, and the governance office is located in Tianfeng County, and the two counties of Blind Yongye and Guangshui can be established. In the middle of the city, with Shanhai City as the center, Shanhai Mansion or Jingzhao Mansion can be set up, and the administrative office is located in Shanhai City, under Blind Water County and Youyi County. In the east, the two counties of Youyi and Gushan can also temporarily set up a government. ”

"What about Beihai County?" Yingyu asked.

"Beihai County is located outside the Lianzhou Basin, with a unique geographical location, and can be set up as a separate government."

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Xiwen's plan, I roughly agree, add three points." First, the next strategic goal of the territory is to unify the Lianzhou Basin. Therefore, when making administrative planning, we should take the Lianzhou Basin as a blueprint and set the entire Lianzhou Basin as Lianzhou County. Second, since Tianfeng County is the seat of Tianfeng Mansion, it should be renamed Tianfeng City, and so on. Third, it is not advisable to set up too many prefectures in one county, and about four are the most suitable. In the future, Lianzhou County, in the southeast, northwest, and middle, will be enough to set up five prefectures. Therefore, Beihai County can be renamed Beihai City, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Lianzhou Hou Mansion, but does not open a separate government. ”

"Marquis Shengming!" Fan Zhongyan said sincerely, "The title of Shanhai Mansion is also subject to the ruling of the prince. ”

"Let's call it Shanhai Mansion!" Ouyang Shuo didn't have too much ambition.

"No!"

After Fan Zhongyan finished speaking, Tian Wenjing got up and said, "Regarding Shanhai Mansion, Weichen has an idea. ”

"Oh?" Ouyang Shuo knew that Tian Wenjing was usually silent, but once he spoke out, he would have a good plan.

"The three cities of Shanhai City, Lushui County and Youyi County, the finished word, are guarded in the south of the Lianzhou Basin, close to each other, and the bridge connecting the three cities has been completed. Therefore, Weichen suggested that we should simply remove Lishui County and Youyi County, and integrate the three cities into one, collectively known as Shanhai City. Such a huge city is worthy of the status of a territorial governor. Tian Wenjing was really amazing.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, Tian Wenjing's idea coincided with his original idea of planning two subsidiary territories. Only such a huge city is worthy of the capital of the future state.

"Okay, let's do it as we envisioned in Yangon."

The three of them worked together to basically solve the structural problems of the upper and lower levels of the territory, and the rest of the specific work was naturally handed over to the administrative department.

Ouyang Shuo's idea did not stop there, and continued: "In addition to the restructuring of counties and counties, the structure of the Lianzhou Marquis Mansion must also be adjusted. ”

Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing glanced at each other, their hearts trembled, how keen their political sense was, and they immediately linked this matter with the absent Shen Chai.

Sure enough, Ouyang Shuo was about to use a knife against the Material Reserve Bureau, and said: "After being promoted to the county town, the existence of the Material Reserve Department is no longer appropriate, and it is time to die." Ben Hou decided to formally dissolve the Material Reserve Bureau, and the Yantian Division, the Material Division, and the Carriage and Horse Division under it were resettled. The Yantian Division was placed under the jurisdiction of Beihai City, and the Beidu Yanchang was also transferred to Beihai City, and the profits were handed over to the Finance Department on a pro rata basis. ”

Ouyang Shuo's biggest contributor to the liberalization of the territory's finances, the Beidui Salt Farm, is a manifestation of self-confidence. Gone are the days when the Northern Dusk Salt Works independently supported the finances of the territory.

"The Department of Materials was dissolved, and the lumber yards and quarries under its control were placed under local jurisdiction; The mining farms under its control are under the jurisdiction of the War Readiness Department of the Military Affairs Administration; The granary and the Wolf Hill Mine under its control are under the jurisdiction of the Property Department of the Financial Services Department. The rest of the supplies were all delegated to the merchants, and they were no longer in charge of the franchise. ”

"The Carriage and Horse Division was disbanded, and the Swift Wind Valley Military Horse Farm in charge was placed under the jurisdiction of the War Readiness Division; The carriage and horse dealers and wharves in charge are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Industry; At the same time, the monopoly of carriage and horse dealers and merchant ships was liberalized, and merchants were allowed to invest. ”

Ouyang Shuo's readjustment not only streamlined the organization, but also further liberalized the territory's intervention in the economy, further expanded the scope of investment access, and stimulated the development of the private economy.

The entry of the Hequan Kee Chamber of Commerce and the Cui Chamber of Commerce is an opportunity.

At this point, the Territorial Government Affairs is centered on the Troika of the Administration Department, the Home Affairs Department and the Finance Department. In this round of adjustment, the rights of the Financial Services Department have been further enhanced.

Once the political structure is determined, the next step is the most critical personnel adjustment.

The candidate for the prefect of Shanhai Mansion, Ouyang Shuo has already appointed Wei Ran, and there is nothing to discuss. What is to be arranged is the place where Zhao Dexian, the former commander of Lushui County, and Zhou Haichen, the commander of Youyi County, go.

The prefect of Tianfeng Mansion is a focal point, and the current Tianfeng County Commander Zhao Dewang must not be able to shoulder this burden, and he must choose another talent.

Then there is the arrangement of Director Shen Chai and others after the dissolution of the Material Reserve Agency.

"Governor of Tianfeng Mansion, do you have any recommended candidates?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

Fan Zhongyan and the others looked at each other, such personnel arrangements were really sensitive, and they didn't want to get involved.

"The Prince's Holy Judge!"

"What? Let's talk about it, whatever you want! Ouyang Shuo didn't want to let them go so easily.

"How is Shen Chai?" Tian Wenjing said tentatively, Shen Chai can be regarded as half of his protΓ©gΓ©, and now that he has been relieved of his position as director, he still wants to find a good job for Shen Chai .

Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "Shen Chai still needs to go through some training, and it is not enough to take on the government affairs of a government, so let him serve as the commander of Yongye County!" Although Ouyang Shuo is also optimistic about Shen Chai, he doesn't want to help the seedlings grow yet.

Fan Zhongyan glanced at Cui Yingyu inexplicably, and said, "Weichen recommended Yishui County to order Cui Shouhei." Fan Zhongyan's proposal is interesting. Who doesn't know that Cui Shouji is Cui Yingyu's cousin.

If it is really adopted, the Cui brothers and sisters will be in high positions at the same time, and with the branch opened by the Cui Chamber of Commerce, the Cui family's power in the territory will be different and will faintly become a powerful force.

The implication is subtle.

Cui Yingyu's eyes lifted, and then she looked at her nose and nose, and her heart was motionless.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, as if he didn't see the mystery in it, and said: "Cui County's order to govern Yishui County is quite effective, and it is appropriate for him to be the prefect of Tianfeng Mansion, so it's decided!" ”

"No!"

At this point, the overall situation has been decided, and all that remains is the specific personnel arrangement. (To be continued.) )
