Chapter 345: Following Thousands of Miles and Three Provinces

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Shi Bao and Deng Ai were friends for a while.

In addition, since Deng Ai discovered Shi Bao, he did not show contempt for Shi Bao because he was in a high position, so Shi Bao did not feel much restraint in front of Deng Ai.

Shi Bao, who was secretly complaining in his heart, quickly stopped Deng Ai's call. He said to Deng Ai: "Shi Zai, if you have any questions in your mind, you can just say it. There is no need to call me by my cousin."

If you continue to call me that, I will be embarrassed to eat again.

Deng Ai didn't know what Shi Bao was thinking, but he readily agreed to his friend's proposal.

Deng Ai motioned to the guard on the side to hand over a bowl of water. After he took the water from the guard and handed it to Shi Bao, he immediately asked Shi Bao what he had experienced in the past few days.

How could Shi Bao, who once had the reputation of "Shi Zhongrong, Unparalleled in Beauty", become like this?

And why it has been a year since his letter was written, but Shi Bao is only now heading south.

Hearing Deng Ai's question, Shi Bao first took a bite of the flour cake, and then hurriedly drank a mouthful of warm water. Then he watched Deng Ai tell the story of what he had experienced during this period.

It turned out that after the exchange of prisoners outside Jiyang City on that day, Shi Bao, as a county soldier from Yecheng, was sent back to Yecheng by Sima Yi.

Although the post of State Mud was not often held in the Han Dynasty, many of the subordinate officials who should have been appointed to the State Mud have been customized for hundreds of years.

It’s just that the responsibilities of the two cannot be simply divided, nor can they be limited to written provisions.

He was not angry, he was angry because his speed of going south was too slow, and he was only one day away.

At present, Deng Ai can take responsibility for Mi Yang's matter, which shows Deng Ai's status in Mi Yang's heart.

Ming Zhu, it is normal for it to be difficult to pursue.

It can be seen that Deng Ai's prestige among Mi Yang's army is not low at all.

Mi Yang made appropriate reforms to the official system of the state dynasty. His intention was to improve the administrative efficiency of the state dynasty, not to allow people with ulterior motives to use it as a means to constrain him.

What's more, Lu Yi was originally his Hanxing County Magistrate, so it was reasonable and reasonable for him to be promoted from a county magistrate to a state governor.

"No matter how wronged you have been before, now that you have found me, I will take you to see the prince immediately after I finish handling my affairs in a few days."

But many people may not know that as early as the late Eastern Han Dynasty, some names of the Six Parts had appeared.

Governance mainly involves managing specific affairs within the state under the leadership of the state pastor.

That is Zhizhong engaged in, referred to as Zhizhong.

The most important thing is to establish the state and dynasty structure of Liangzhou as soon as possible.

They all come from poor families, and each has the most miserable past. There is no need to get to the bottom of it.

I hope Liangzhou Mu will also value him so highly in the future!

Therefore, from an overall perspective, it is necessary to appropriately give the Registrar certain powers to review state orders in order to prepare for a rainy day.

The power of example is infinite. Under the influence of Mi Yang, many Han scholars now regard the post of chief clerk as the best position after becoming an official.

In addition to the particularity of the position of chief registrar, it is also because in Mi Yang's conception, the chief registrar of Liangzhou should assume the responsibility of the province in the later Sui and Tang Dynasties.

For example, if a meritorious officer named Cao actually has the same status as he holds an important position, Mi Yang will single him out and be directly responsible to him.

Encouraged by this mentality, Shi Bao headed south again.

Then he issued another order.

But under such circumstances, it is understandable that Shi Bao would act like a starving ghost in front of Deng Ai.

Historically, he had no talent and sold iron in Yecheng for several years without success, and then went to Chang'an to sell iron for several years. This shows the resilience in his heart.

As Shi Bao expected from the beginning, since he was not a regular soldier, his disappearance did not trigger a large-scale manhunt by the Wei army.

Deng Ai's promise finally made Shi Bao's dirty face look happy.

Bing Cao: in charge of military affairs.

With envy in his heart, Shi Bao suddenly sighed to Deng Ai:

"The Bohai Sea is unparalleled in its tolerance, but there is still Deng Shizai in the world!"

After Shi Bao heard about what Deng Ai was busy with recently, he couldn't help but show a strong look of envy on his face.

It can be said that the six bureaus in later generations originated from Zhu Caotuo in the Han Dynasty. In this case, why did Mi Yang bother to establish the six bureaus?

Mi Yang only needed to formally issue a document to subordinate all the Cao Cao to Zhizhong.

Shi Bao, who was proficient in military strategy, knew that the rotational rest system for soldiers could greatly boost morale.

This is undoubtedly time consuming.

This is truly a thousand-mile pursuit of the Lord.

Deng Ai picked up another piece of bread and handed it to Shi Bao. Looking at Shi Bao in front of him, Deng Ai seemed to think of his previous self.

Merit: In charge of official appointment, promotion and performance appraisal.

But Shi Bao is a very resilient person.

Although the six tribes were not popular in the Han Dynasty, there were still Cao Cao.

Facao: in charge of criminal law.

It can be seen that in the eyes of the world, sometimes Zhizhong and Biejia have equal power and status.

So when he arrived outside Xiangyang City in tattered clothes, Mi Yang actually led the army to leave Xiangyang City the day before.

It's just that the title of the Six Ministries has not yet become popular in the world, and Mi Yang does not plan to directly establish the Six Ministries in Liangzhou because it is unnecessary.

Although the rank of the chief clerk is lower than that of Biejia and Zhizhong, compared to Biejia who sometimes goes out to patrol counties on behalf of the governor, the chief clerk is the one who is always by the governor's side.

After much deliberation, Mi Yang decided to let Deng Ai serve as his chief clerk.

With Shi Bao's perseverance, he finally reached the outside of Nanzheng City on the same day Mi Yang arrived in Nanzheng.

Due to the importance of this matter, the person who can handle it must not only have requirements for his or her own abilities, but also must be highly trusted by the general.

It can be regarded as an organizational structure that is both in line with national conditions and very advanced in today's world.

After deciding on the candidates for Zhizhong and Chief Registrar, Mi Yang asked Fa Miao to write two formal recruitment documents first.

Only in this way can we ensure that all objections raised by that person are for Mi Yang's good.

The chief registrar of Liangzhou not only has to work with others, govern the country, and discuss state affairs together, he is also responsible for reviewing state orders, and he must dare to point out his mistakes when necessary.

Shi Cao: In charge of transportation and construction.

This person must have strong execution ability and be loyal to Mi Yang, otherwise Mi Yang's ideas will not be realized.

Fortunately, Shi Bao had his handwritten letter, otherwise Shi Bao, who was acting suspiciously, might not have been brought to see him by the Han soldiers.

Because of this idea in mind, coupled with the importance of the post of Zhizhong, the candidate for Zhizhong is very important.

After sighing with emotion, Shi Bao couldn't help but feel a strong desire in his heart:

The newly established Liangzhou is like a new country, with too many things to take care of.

As for this point, it is reasonable and reasonable, because in the official system of the Han Dynasty, the various Cao Cao were originally dispersed in different jurisdictions and governed separately.

However, Mi Yang, who was determined to reform, deliberately drew on the advanced systems of later generations and clearly distinguished the boundaries between the powers of Biejia and Zhizhong in advance.

Liu Bei had a court to assist him in controlling the military and political affairs of the country, and Liangzhou also established a state court to assist Mi Yang in controlling the military and political power of Liangzhou.

Deng Ai just showed admiration on his face after hearing what Shi Bao had experienced during this time.

After finding out this news, Shi Bao sighed in anger.

Although Deng Ai's political EQ is not high, perhaps it is precisely because of this trait that he dares to point out Mi Yang's omissions when necessary.

Biejia is like the Zhongshu Province among the three central provinces in the Sui and Tang Dynasties in later generations. It is mainly responsible for drafting documents for the state animal husbandry and conveying orders to all subordinate officials in the state for the state animal husbandry.

But Shi Bao was not discouraged.

Needless to say, Lu Yi's execution ability in government affairs is needless to say.

Otherwise, even though he has many reform measures in his mind, he will not be able to implement any of them.

Among the officials of the state, the status of the chief register is second only to that of Biejia and Zhizhong.

The difference between the two duties is that Biejia often goes out with the state pastor to patrol, supervise the states and counties, and is the first conveyor of the state pastor's will.

If he had not met Mi Yang, how much better would his current situation be compared to Shi Bao?

Deng Ai, who had sympathy for Shi Bao in his heart, immediately comforted Shi Bao and said:

Shi Bao answered in detail what he had experienced during this period, but avoided talking about the reason why he did not go south in time before.

The Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry.

Finally, Mi Yang decided to recruit Lu Yi to govern Liangzhou.

Among the subordinate officials of Zhou Mu, in addition to Biejia's very important position and power, there is another position that is no less important than Biejia.

There are all kinds of Cao, and their functions cannot be said to be similar to those of the Six Ministries in later generations. They are basically overlapping.

Because of the importance and particularity of the chief secretary, Fa Miao kept putting forward several candidates, but they were all rejected by Mi Yang.

Later, Jiang Ji was appointed by Cao Cao as Yangzhou's farewell commander.

Due to the characteristics of the chief registrar, the chief registrar is often the confidant of the state pastor, and the chief registrar has a very large room for promotion.

That is to put most of the Cao Cao in the state capital under the jurisdiction of Zhizhong.

Cangcao: In charge of warehouses, renting taxes, markets, weights and measures, and other matters.

After hearing that Deng Ai had important matters to attend to in the past few days, Shi Bao couldn't help but curiously asked: "The two armies have just stopped fighting, so what matters can keep Shi Zai busy for several days?"

The most important official position in the state court, Biejia, has been confirmed to be filled by Fa Miao. Now it is time to decide who will fill the other subordinate officials.

The two are like the right-hand man of the state shepherd. They are often involved in discussions on all major military and political affairs, and they are not clearly distinguished.

Shi Bao couldn't help but think of how the Han army initially treated him after he was discovered by the Han army, treating him as a spy.

He often did this in the past.

Deng Ai understood Shi Bao's little idea but did not expose it.

However, since all the dry food he had on him had been eaten by that time, he had no choice but to hunt all the way south.

The Zhizhong is like the Shangshu Province among the three provinces, responsible for commanding each Cao Cao to undertake specific affairs.

Because he was not familiar with the road and had learned lessons from before, Shi Bao did not waste time hunting along the way. He kept heading towards Hanzhong while asking for directions along the way.

When Wen Hui was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou, Cao Cao wanted to find a talented person to assist Wen Hui, so he said to Wen Hui: "Isn't it appropriate to have Jiang Ji to cure the evil?"

The three provinces each perform their own duties, and the organizational structure of checks and balances has been verified in later generations.

Facing Shi Bao's curiosity, Deng Ai felt that what he was busy with was not a secret, so he told Shi Bao what Mi Yang had asked him to do.

The first important thing Mi Yang has to do in the past few days is to confirm the officials of the state dynasty.

On the day he learned that Mi Yang had led his army back to Hanzhong, Shi Bao immediately set off from Xiangyang towards Hanzhong.

After the first battle in Xicheng, Mi Yang was able to lead the army to attack Wudang without any distractions, thanks to Lu Yi who took care of all the affairs for him in the rear.

On the way back to Yecheng, Shi Bao took the opportunity to escape from the team.

But just when he took out Deng Ai's autographed letter from his arms, and after the Han soldiers learned that he might be Deng Ai's friend, the attitude of those Han soldiers towards him changed 180 degrees.

Those who have certain authority to raise objections to his orders must be extremely loyal to him.

Of course, at that time, the power and authority of Biejia and Zhizhong were not very clear. It can only be said that there were some tendencies.

Deng Ai asked himself that he could not do this, but he could follow Mi Yang so firmly all the way without knowing whether he would be reused by Mi Yang.

Under this circumstance, Shi Bao successfully crossed the mountains and went all the way south to the outside of Xinye City.

Hucao: in charge of household registration, land and house affairs.

Both came from poor families and were similar in age, but the life experiences between him and Deng Ai were as different as heaven and earth. How could Shi Bao not feel extremely envious of this?

But when Shi Bao arrived outside Xinye City, Mi Yang was leaving Xinye to avoid Zhang Wen and other Jiangdong envoys, so Shi Bao jumped into the air without any surprise.

Leaving aside the example of Cao Wei, let's just say that when Zhuge Liang was serving as a subordinate under Liu Bei, Pang Tong was in charge of governing the country. From this, we can know how high the status of the government is.

Of course, Shi Bao, with this kind of personality, would not give up the pursuit of Mi Yang easily.

Zhizhong is similar to the Shangshu Province in later generations, and the functions of the Shangshu Province in later generations are mainly carried out by the six departments under his jurisdiction.

After all, Mi Yang is not a god, he will make mistakes sometimes.

Apart from this reason, what Mi Yang values ​​​​is Deng Ai's loyalty to him.

It has been several days since Mi Yang returned to Nanzheng City.

Another example is that because of Mi Yang's own case, there is now a saying circulating in all counties of the Han Dynasty: "It is better to be a chief bookkeeper than a county magistrate."

After deciding on the candidate for governance, Mi Yang was a little worried about the candidate for the bookkeeper.

In the past few days, Mi Yang has not been idle at all.

For example, Wen Hui, who was originally Cao Cao's chief secretary, was appointed governor of Yangzhou as soon as he was sent abroad.

For example, Xu Yun, the minister of official affairs, valued Shi Bao very much.

Of course, Mi Yang couldn't hand over all the Cao Cao to Zhi Zhong, otherwise Zhi Zhong's power would be too great.

There is also the Bingcao, an official office that is nominally in charge of the military in the state. It is impossible for Mi Yang to give him such great power.

County soldiers, county soldiers and other soldiers who do not have much combat effectiveness can be placed under the jurisdiction of the Bingcao, who are responsible for capturing thieves in the territory and maintaining public order, similar to the police in later generations.

As for the military power of the regular soldiers used for the battle, Mi Yang must firmly and directly control it.

Tens of thousands of troops were Mi Yang's greatest confidence to carry out drastic reforms.
