August 17, Shanhai City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao He, on behalf of the prince, saw off the princes at the gate of the city. The strange thing is that in the crowd, Xiao He didn't see Su Qin's figure, thinking of the eyes of the prince at that time, Xiao He's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The conference ended, but Shanhai City was even busier.

The establishment of Shanhaiwei, the establishment of the Law School, the exchange of blood between the two schools of Southwest University Hall and the Army Lecture Hall, and the reception of scholars and Confucian students from all over the country who came to listen to Confucius's lectures, and so on.

Fortunately, all kinds of matters are handled by courtiers, and Ouyang Shuo does not need to do it himself. After finishing the controversy meeting, Ouyang Shuo had already set his sights back on the Zhaoqing battlefield in the north.

According to the battle report sent by Bai Qi, just yesterday, 50,000 Allied forwards had arrived at the front line and were stationed in Yun'an County. Yun'an County is located in the north of Cangcheng County, facing Cangcheng County in the air.

Immediately after the forward troops, the 100,000 Chinese troops of the Allied forces will also arrive.

A great battle is about to begin.

At the same time, the 2nd and 4th Divisions of the Huben Regiment had just crossed the Qiongzhou Strait. It will take another two weeks to reach Cangcheng County.

However, the expeditionary fleet will arrive at the port of Jiaozhou in a few days.

With the build-up of the Allied forces, in the frontal battlefield, the army of Shanhai City did not have an advantage. At this time, it was time to dispatch the Janissary Division, the ace force, to rush to the aid of the Zhaoqing battlefield.

Wulong County, which Black Snake promised before, has been successfully taken down and signed a temporary alliance with Shanhai City. The conditions promised by Ouyang Shuo were the official position of a county order in the territory and the title of first-class viscount.

The Praetorian Guard Division can be teleported to Wulong County at any time.

The problem is that, according to the White War report, the Allies deployed a full 80,000 troops in the rear. It is not known whether the Praetorian Guard Division alone will be able to stir up the storm in the rear of the enemy.

So far, at least, SAARC has not shown any flaws.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo was ready to go out in person. A matter of Shanhai City is already over, and he doesn't need to be in charge of it himself. Second, he also wants to move his muscles and bones, and he nests in Shanhai City all day long, and the grass is about to grow on his back.

Once you set out this time, you won't be able to return to Shanhai City in a short period of time.

The battle of Zhaoqing, the post-war resettlement, the battle of Chiyou City, etc., must take a lot of time, and it is estimated that at least until the next battle, Ouyang Shuo will not return to Shanhai City.

The trigger point of the fifth battle is the promotion of fifteen counties.

More than 20 days have passed since the end of the Battle of the Giant Deer. During this time, Bawang County, Danyang County and Xunlong County have been successively promoted to county seats.

China is still seven miles away from the target of fifteen county seats. Ouyang Shuo predicted that at least within two months, it should not trigger the fifth battle.

Therefore, before setting out on the expedition, Ouyang Shuo must arrange the affairs of the territory properly.

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Order the Praetorian Guard Division to go out with Ben Hou tomorrow."

"No!"

When the guard heard this, he turned around with a little excitement. The prince is going to go on the expedition, and their personal guard of 200 people must go out with the army.

At 2 p.m., Ouyang Shuo convened the four directors and Xiao He to discuss the matter.

In just one morning, the news of the prince's expedition had already spread in the southern Xinjiang Protectorate. Although in the eyes of Xiao He and other civil officials, it is orthodox for the prince to sit in Shanhai City, they dare not dissuade him.

In the troubled times, it is too normal for the lord to conquer in person.

"Ben Hou is on this expedition, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of Shanhai City in a short period of time. During the absence of Benhou, in addition to major affairs, which were submitted for review through letters, the daily government affairs of the Metropolitan Protectorate were handled by the elder Xiao He. ”

This resolution is the result of Ouyang Shuo's careful consideration.

When Chu and Han were fighting, it was Liu Bang who fought on the front line, and Xiao He sat in the rear to govern the fiefdom. Therefore, in terms of ability, Xiao He has this talent, which is enough to take on this great responsibility.

The only shortcoming is that Xiao He joined Shanhai City not long ago, and his prestige is slightly insufficient. However, through the organization of the contention conference, Xiao He has handed in a beautiful answer sheet and has been initially recognized by the ministers.

If there is Ouyang Shuo's instructions, there should be no big problem. This is also the reason why Ouyang Shuo called the four directors, as long as the four directors support Xiao He's work, the overall situation is basically decided.

When Xiao He heard this, he came out and saluted solemnly: "Xie Junhou trusts." Xiao He knows very well how heavy and precious this trust is.

Seeing this, the four directors also expressed their positions one by one.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and then said: "Ben Hou also has arrangements for the work of the four major departments. ”

"Please advise the prince!"

"The first is the Military Affairs Agency. In addition to supporting the frontline battlefield, there are two priorities. First, improve the logistics support system. Second, it is necessary to formulate a system of military merit and military ranks. ”

"No!"

These two things are the top priorities in the hearts of the princes, how could Du Ruhui not understand.

"The second is the Administration Department." Ouyang Shuo looked at Fan Zhongyan and said, "The Administration Department should take the opportunity of the contention conference to have a big blood change for the officials of the territory. ”

The four directors, including Xiao He, were all startled, faintly smelling a hint of blood.

"The three counties in the territory, except for Lianzhou County, Qiongzhou County and Leizhou County have not been occupied for a long time. At the beginning of the occupation of the two counties, in order to maintain local stability, the appointment and dismissal of officials were inevitably discounted. Now that order in the territory has been restored, it is time to put things in order and rectify the rule of officials. ”

Ouyang Shuo's tone was firm and unquestionable, "Ben Hou suggests that the Administration Department use one to two months to conduct a comprehensive investigation of all the officials in the territory from the bottom up. The capable go up, and the mediocre go down. It is just a good opportunity to take this opportunity to properly place the students who graduated from the Southwest University Hall in the first half of the year, as well as the Confucian students who have just been recruited. ”

To put it mildly, more than half of the current officials in the territory, especially the grassroots officials in the prefectures and counties, are born with mud legs and have not received an orthodox education at all.

In this situation, it is natural that the lords do not have enough talents in the process of building their territories, so they can only drive ducks to the shelves. Even if it is Shanhai City, it is not the same, Zhao Dewang and others are like this.

After the occupation of these territories was completed, the bitter fruit was pushed to the head of Shanhai City.

It is undeniable that among this group of people, under the tempering of the fire, there are indeed talented, such as Zhao Dexian and others. However, more than sixty percent of them are still unsuccessful, and they have gradually become a drag on the territory.

Ouyang Shuo has faintly received the rumors, and there are officials in all prefectures and counties, who have begun to bend the law for bribes, and the common people are rampant in the township. This kind of behavior is naturally not tolerated by Ouyang Shuo.

The territory has not yet established a perfect talent selection system, such as the imperial examination, not because Ouyang Shuo does not want to, but because the conditions are not yet mature. At this stage, the appointment and dismissal of officials can only be carried out through the inspection of the Administration Department.

This work is not only time-consuming, but also involves the interests of all parties.

If you are not careful, it can lead to trouble.

Only in this way can it be implemented as soon as possible, and it is necessary to use the courage to scrape the bones and heal the wounds, completely remove the cancer in the territory, and return the people to a bright future.

Otherwise, if left unchecked, the small cancer will slowly ferment and become a large cancer, and at that time, it will not only harm the people, but also threaten the rule of the territory.

Ouyang Shuo is extremely vigilant about this.

It is precisely for this purpose that he formed Shanhaiwei. The future Shanhaiwei is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of hundreds of civil and military officials, intimidating the crowd.

On the road to hegemony, foreign warfare is only an external cause, and it is a table; Internal governance is the internal driving force. Only by managing the territory well can you accumulate energy to wage war against the outside world and expand the territory.

Otherwise, the end of blind expansion is that the foundation is unstable, and in the end it will be like a castle piled up with mud and sand, which looks gorgeous, and will collapse with a slight push.

Needless to say, this work is the easiest to offend people.

Ouyang Shuo believes that only the iron-faced and selfless Fan Zhongyan can control it.

"Xiwen, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Please rest assured!"

What the prince thinks is exactly what Fan Zhongyan is worried about, and it is naturally incumbent on him. As far as he is concerned, as long as he can rectify the rule of officials and be sympathetic to the people, what is his personal gain and loss.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and didn't mention it, he believed that Fan Zhongyan could grasp the scale.

"Let's talk about the Home Affairs Department."

When Wei Ying heard this, he listened attentively. From the explanation of the prince and the marquis to the Military Affairs Administration and the Administration Bureau, Wei Ying did not dare to slack off at all, and the unique vision of the prince and the prince was really difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

Every request put forward is to the lifeblood of each agency.

Wei Ying heard that the structure of the entire Southern Xinjiang Protectorate was established by the prince and the marquis, and he was still skeptical before, thinking that it was the humble words of Fan Zhongyan and others.

Now that I think about it, I have to take it.

Although the prince is young, he is born with a deep vision like a king. It is no wonder that even famous ministers like Fan Zhongyan and Du Ruhui dare not be self-absorbed in front of the prince and prince, and they are respectful.

In fact, it was not only Wei Martingale who was shocked.

In Xiao He's heart, there were even more turbulent waves, this was the first time he saw the future of the prince's territory. This kind of performance is simply a natural king.

In comparison, Liu Bang, who he followed before, seemed too bleak.

"The priority of the Home Affairs Department is to establish a sound system of inspection, adjudication and review. In the future, the power to review cases in each prefecture and county will be entrusted to the head of the interior of each prefecture and county, rather than the prefect or prefectural order. ”

This move is to break the shackles of antiquity.

In ancient times, the county order tried the case, so it was called the master of the blue sky.

In Ouyang Shuo's opinion, it is really ridiculous.

The county order of a county should be in charge of the overall situation, and should not go beyond the rules to do anything to judge the case. Ouyang Shuo's move is to truly build the Internal Affairs Agency into a political and legal committee in the real world.

In the Department of the Interior, there is a trinity in the Department of Public Order, which is responsible for maintaining law and order and arresting key criminals, the Department of Criminal Prosecution, which is responsible for examining and solving cases, and the Department of Justice, which is responsible for supervising officials and initiating prosecutions.

What Ouyang Shuo has to do is to fully delegate power and let it really operate. Taking off the county order and the prefect's right to try cases is the first step of Ouyang Shuo's authorization.

This step alone is enough to break the earth.

When Wei Ying heard this, his blood was surging, and he was very ambitious. (To be continued.) )
