Since he had agreed with Li Suxun You, everyone thought that this plan was feasible, and Liu Bei was just doing it. A few days later, around late August, he officially submitted a letter to the emperor who was far away in Hongnong, saying that Li Su was the governor of Yizhou.

Anyway, Li Su still has time, so the process still needs to be gone, so there is no need to hurry. Especially now that the emperor is like the Emperor of Zhou and is in the flow, Liu Bei must act like respecting the emperor and not give other princes a statement.

Moreover, the statement Liu Bei gave to Liu Xie was not just Li Su. In order not to appear too abrupt, he also referred to all two senior generals under his command, who were ranked among the four generals, as the governor of the state: the right general Li Su was the governor of Yizhou, and the former general Guan Yu was the governor of Liangzhou.

Such a remark is more in line with the public opinion of the world, and no one in the court can make a point because Li Su and Guan Yu's title of general was indeed high enough. When Yuan Shu was the latter general, he had already taken over the governor of Yuzhou. People like Cao Cao and Sun Ce who were self-publics, even generals from all directions were not.

Liu Bei had actual control of two states, and one was also a Liangzhou siege, claiming that this was completely fine and he respected the qualifications of the court very much.

The reason why Liu Bei asked Li Su to plan to "reorganize the state and pastoral system into three deputy state-level envoys", on the other hand, was preparing for Liu Bei's camp to further use the emperor to sign officials and occupy important local positions next year--

Historically, Liu Bei's camp center had a relatively hidden disadvantage, that is, the civil and military officials at the top of the camp, with relatively shallow age and court qualifications, mainly compared to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's camp. Even though the lords of the Eastern Wu camp were young, at least there were the high-level cores of the ruling group who had been so virtuous in Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

Of course, the youth of Liu Bei's camp did not have any negative impact in history. This was mainly because Liu Bei made his fortune late in that time and space, and wasted more than ten years before he had a basic foundation in a state. Of course, there was no problem that his brothers were not qualified enough to convince the public.

But now, he is about to occupy the three states in 194 and is developing too fast. Liu Bei himself was 35 or 36 years old, so that's fine. Guan Yu is about to be 35, and he is also at the age of being able to stand alone.

If Li Su had not had the bonus of "the late emperor called him "knowing the destiny" and had some reputation as "a young genius who could be an imperial teacher", he would not have been able to become a provincial governor at the age of 25.

The rest of Zhang Fei finished the 32nd New Year and was General Siping. Zhao Yun was about to 30th after the 30th New Year and was the lower General Si'an. Their military positions and age and qualifications were to be governors under the current court system, and it was easy to be arrested by other princes, believing that Liu Bei "although he did not have the appearance of holding the emperor hostage, he was the reality of coercing the emperor to accept his memorials."

If you develop quickly, you must pay for the excess speed, spend more effort and cost to offset the inertia of history, and overcome difficulties that should not have existed.

Therefore, changing the position of state and governor from the state level to the lieutenant state level, allowing Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and even Lu Su to be justified as a lieutenant state level with real power, which is also a major implicit bonus to Liu Bei's camp.

Especially the ambitious princes in the world have all applied to the prefectures to govern the state. Liu Bei felt that he was closest to the emperor, and the emperor was most likely to accept his comments. How could he not take advantage of the time difference in the past year and try his best to make real profits?

Nowadays, the land of the thirteen states in the Han Dynasty cannot be considered to have been divided up by powerful warlords. Although Yongliang and Yijing were controlled by Liu, Qingjiyou and Yuan Shao, Yanxu and Cao Cao, Yuyang and Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, are there no one in Jiaozhou?

Zhang Jin, the former local commander of Jiaozhou, was previously attacked by Zhao Yun by Wei Yan from the head to the front and tail because he resisted Zhao Yun. He also lured Zhang Jin's general, Nanhai Prefect Qu Jing, and killed him. That was the winter before the Northern Expedition. Later, Li Jue was finished, and the court still had no chance to arrange for the governor of Jiaozhou.

Now Lu Su is helping Liu Bei to actually take charge of Jingnan, Cangwu and Nanhai counties in Jiaozhou, but in name Lu Su is just a prefect of Changsha. Next year, Lu Su is only twenty-five years old. It is impossible for other princes to convince him as the governor of the state.

After Liu Bei and Li Su discussed it, they believed that Shi Xie, who occupied the two counties in the southwest of Jiaozhou, and other more powerful prefects in Jiaozhou, might not have ambitions and force to resist the court.

If Liu Xie obeys Liu Bei's card, if he uses it well, he will dismantle the position of governor of the state next year, and then throw Zhao Yun, General Annan, back to Jiaozhou, to lead the defensive envoy of Jiaozhou, and then let Lu Su serve as the governor of Jiaozhou.

These two are not very old enough to be confidants at the provincial level. They move to the lieutenant-state level of Yiwu and Yiwen, and give both kindness and power. Maybe they will surrender without fighting. By the way, they can also accumulate more qualifications for Zhao Yun and Lusu, have experience in the lieutenant-state level, and it is legitimate to do something else next time.

Everyone is Han people. If you can avoid fighting, it is best not to fight. It is better to have a peaceful and liberated life.

The soldiers took back half of the rule of the remote state without bloodshed, which could fully utilize Liu Bei's local official system reform plan and the remaining energy of officials' comments to the emperor.

Anyway, although Liu Xie was not held hostage by Liu Bei, as long as the other princes dared to report to Liu Xie for the candidates of Jiaozhou pastoral, Liu Bei had various ways to make their speech fail. When Liu Bei made a speech to Liu Xie, he was sure to let the emperor pass it. This was also the interest that Liu Xie should collect on behalf of the court.

Isn’t it necessary to collect some interest if I work hard to save your life and drive Li Jue out?

The interest rate for half a Jiaozhou is not considered black.

...

After Liu Bei's remarks were handed over, considering that Liu Xie also had to convene a meeting of the three ministers. The two court days were definitely needed. Including the return and traveling, the results were expected to be released within 20 days. Li Su could leave for Chengdu in about 30 September.

So in the last half month, while handing over the work of Jingzhaoyin with Xun You, he made the final arrangements before leaving Beijing, checking for omissions and tax law reform, and further contacting the Guanzhong family to soothe people's hearts.

After working for several days, seeing that September was approaching, most of the matters were almost done, Li Su thought about it and prepared to take out the last few days in Beijing to arrange the work of his disciple Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang made his first appearance in the military and political field in April and May this year. During the attack on Chang'an, he helped plan the layout and construction of many siege fortifications. He was also highly praised by Liu Bei and there were signs of being able to become an official.

However, after all, he was still too young and was not even fourteen years old. Li Su was afraid that the seedlings would be forced to grow, and he was afraid that he would not adapt to the environment in Chang'an and did not understand the officialdom, so he did not rush to arrange a position for Zhuge Liang. He wanted to give him a few more months to take a walk, adapt to the environment, and understand the sufferings of the people in Guanzhong.

On the other hand, Li Su also hopes to give Zhuge Liang a background before the abolition of the advisory system.

After all, Zhuge Liang would never be invited out in this life. Zhuge Gui had already entrusted his orphans to the orphanage, and he could not play a noble character in the future. He was just a regular person based on his merits, just like Li Su, he was quite orthodox.

The imperial court now does not have a governor of Yongzhou, so Li Su, the Jingzhao Yin, holds the Maocai quota in Yongzhou area one year in his hand. Zhuge Liang lost his father in his early years, and it is difficult for filial piety to be filial and honest. Li Su did not want Zhuge Liang to serve as an official with virtue, so let's use his talent to promote Maocai. There was a real plan and contribution to the battle against Chang'an. No one could say that Maocai was unfair. After all, he made contributions in the battle to restore the capital, which was extraordinary.

Moreover, in recent months, although Zhuge Liang has continued to study and travel, and has not been formally sent, he has helped Li Su do some interesting small work based on his personal interests and sense of social responsibility. Zhuge Liang is good at mathematics, is careful and good at observing, and is good at summarizing the shortcomings and loopholes in other people's behavior. Therefore, when Li Su was about to arrest the fraud of the children of Guanzhong family for "drive luxury cars and receive minimum living allowances" for subsidy, Zhuge Liang helped Li Su openly and secretly investigate and caught a lot of tricks for fun.

Many of the evidence of fraudulent fraud that Li Su showed at the Hongmen Banquet of Yang Xiu's family were captured by Zhuge Liang based on his interest. Zhuge Liang in history was also a good candidate for checking accounts for "officials should not tolerate traitors". His math skills were better in this life, and he was even more familiar with it.

Of course, there is no need to write this into Li Su's memorial for Maocai. As long as other Yongzhou families know a little about Zhuge Liang's power and dare not come to find fault.

Before resigning, Li Su used up all the places for Jingzhao Yinchao this year. After handing over the memorial, the emperor approved it within five days, officially allowing the Yongzhou area to select Zhuge Liang as a filial and honest person this year. He also said some scenes of "Thank you for your suggestions in the battle to restore Chang'an".

After receiving the letter, Li Su asked his secretary Deng Zhi to call Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was a little heartless and didn't know what happened. Recently, he was still conducting various people's livelihood surveys based on his interests and observing the cheating methods of the powerful and oppressing the people.

Just like being addicted to Sherlock Holmes's detective novels, young people rely on their IQ to help the weak and expose fraud and play addicted.

Li Su first asked him what he was doing recently. Zhuge Liang told him the truth, which made Li Su laugh and cry.

After laughing, Li Su showed Zhuge Liang the decree that Liu Xie replied, and then Zhuge Liang solemnly accepted the order and then thanked Li Su for his support.

"I wonder what kind of mission Master Li has arranged for me? I am young and have complex government affairs, and I am afraid I am not competent for it." Zhuge Liang still knew that he was good at it. On the other hand, he was really worried that he was still in the learning stage, and he did not accumulate enough, and he did not have enough energy to allocate to official business.

"Don't worry, I won't be tired of you. I'll give you some things to practice first. Just think that it's like continuing your studies while finding something to do - you can't just read. You can't just read books. You can't understand it on paper. You must practice it yourself. The sword is sharpened by sharpening, and practice requires practice." Li Suhu said a lot of erratic words, regardless of where the difference comes from, anyway, as long as the meaning is right.

Without knowing it, he brought Lu You and Wang Yangming's experience together and said nonsense, and did not intend to record it. However, when Zhuge Liang heard it, he felt that Master Li spoke casually, as if he was very powerful.

Zhuge Liang quickly knelt down and asked respectfully: "Please give me advice."

Li Su: "I also considered your age and ability characteristics. I temporarily persuaded the king to set up a position for you. It was originally not included in the palace of Taichang Qing, who was divided by Taishi Ling, and was called Lingtai Ling.

In the future, the Taishi Ling will still be in charge of the power of compiling national history, while the Lingtai Ling will be in charge of the duties of the Taishi Ling in addition to compiling national history, including the astronomical and astrological calendar, recording and handling disasters, auspiciousness, identifying and refuting prophecies and divinations, and some new authority I have given you.

After all, I will give you a new official that has never been known to me. I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public. I still have to bring some daily old positions. Fortunately, you know how to learn physics and look up at the astronomy and record the calendar, which is too easy for you. You can do it while learning and playing. The remaining energy can be placed on the newly established responsibilities."

According to the Han system, Taishi Ling was a 600-stone official below Taichangqing. She was on par with the doctor's priest and was in charge of the court's historical compilation, classics and other responsibilities. Taishi Ling also had to take charge of the "god will" such as astronomy, calendar, disasters, auspiciousness, etc.

The subordinates of the Taishi Order also had Lingtai Cheng, who was specifically in charge of the astronomical work of the Taishi, similar to the later "Imperial Heavenly Supervisor/Si Tianjian" in the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties.

However, the level of Lingtai Chief was too low, so Li Su deliberately set up a "Lingtai Order" and split it out from the Taishi Ling, so that the level could be compared with 600 stones.

It is equivalent to promoting it from the "department" under the "Secretary" of Taishi to an independent "deputy department-level office".

Zhuge Liang also knew that Li Su asked him to continue to study astronomy and geography, which would definitely be a trivial matter. Even if he couldn't do this job for a few years, it wouldn't be that simple to just let him learn to become a Beijing official. It would probably be the key to the private goods that were stuffed later.

So Zhuge Liang also asked in a very profound way: "I would like to hear the rest - those added work are the key points, right?"

Li Su: "Talking to smart people is easy, yes. I am going to submit a memorial to the court to add a power to this Lingtai Order, that is, to establish a publishing agency that is the official government-run publication, responsible for reviewing which books in the country should be promoted, but because it is difficult to sell, merchants are unwilling to engrave printing, so they will pay for the official woodblock printing.

In the future, it is also a mechanism for restraining and rewarding and punishment for Confucian ministers who hope to write books and establish virtue and words to spread throughout the ages. Anything that is as beneficial to the country as "The Palace of the Promotion of Blessings" or "The Essential Arts of Agricultural Government" is as beneficial to the people as "The Great Learning of Agricultural Government", even if it does not make money, the court is responsible for publishing the money for the carved edition and helping their works become famous for the past.

This also encourages officials and great scholars to work diligently and be loyal to the court. After all, I and a few conscientious scholars have too few writings. Now the cost of carving a volume of books costs hundreds of thousands of yuan. Poor scholars cannot afford it, but if they write well, the court will let them publish the world.

On the other hand, this job is not important. As long as you are honest, don’t think about using power for personal gain, and use your book to decide who can pass on the eternal verses in exchange for accepting the property of civil officials who want to leave their names, then you have nothing to be afraid of making mistakes. I also value your good character and you don’t have to do this with your family’s wealth. Don’t let me down.

In the end, letting you go to the office early and do this job is also considered as you have not completed your study tour. After you have done the Lingtai Order, you have to broaden your knowledge and read all the books in the world, and then you will know which books are worthy of printing and which books are "censored, and the previous ones have already described it."

Li Su asked Zhuge Liang to "use review instead of reading" and read books with the eyes of editors and cultural department reviewers, forcing him to increase his reading breadth, which was also for Zhuge Liang's growth. Moreover, Zhuge Liang liked to read widely but did not seek to understand much, and read very quickly. He gave him this review work. If the new book was not enough, he would first screen out the Lantai collection saved by Cai Yong, and make a value judgment to merge which ancient books are worth engraving and which are not worth it.

To put it bluntly, this job is a bit similar to the cultural review department in later generations, or even the General Administration of XX or XX in the field of press and publishing. Being able to do this job is the best transition from academic to career for a genius who is still in the growth stage. Maybe being a free agent like this for two or three years, practicing with problems will be greater than studying behind closed doors for seven or eight years.

Zhuge Liang was also deeply moved. Master Li helped him tailor such an appropriate official position as the starting point for his Maocai to enter the officialdom. Although it was only 600 stones, it made him eager to try it out.
Chapter completed!
