After being in seclusion for half a month, Chihashimatsu spent the Lantern Festival at home and took Tushan's child to the provincial capital.

After introducing Tu Shanji to many officials of the provincial government, Ikehashi and Tu Shanji entered their office. The office staff made tea and consciously closed the door and went out.

"Lao Tu, you are now a human being. I have asked the office director to help you arrange your identity as my assistant to the shogunate, a third-level official."

"Commander, this position is exactly what I want."

"As the assistant, you will help me pull up my staff team." Ikehashi Matsu is used to being the hands-off shopkeeper, "In addition, my assistant team was originally planned to be managed by Sister Dan, but for the time being, I will let the office director Wang Guixing

I am responsible, and I just happened to add my cousin Li Wan to the team to intern with Wang Guixing."

"I need some time to check on personnel."

"This is natural. In addition, I plan to set up the position of supervisor and transfer my father-in-law to serve as supervisor. Then the chief of civil affairs Zhou Wei, supervisor Li Tong, supervisor Zhou Li, deputy director of civil affairs Zheng Ming, and assistant director Lao Tuyou will form

The five-member government affairs team is responsible for the work of the provincial government. Zhou Wei serves as the team leader and you serve as the deputy team leader."

Within a province, there are only three places for fourth-level full-time positions.

The governor is naturally the first, the core leader of the military and administrative affairs; if the governor has the rank of general, he is the second-in-command; and the chief of civil affairs is the second- or third-in-command.

There are not many places for fourth-level deputy positions.

The governor, without the rank of general, is a fourth-level deputy; in a region composed of several cities, the administrative commissioner is also a fourth-level deputy; the deputy director of civil affairs is also a fourth-level deputy; the supervisor assists the governor in his work, and is also a fourth-level deputy, usually ranked last.

Bit.

Under normal circumstances, provinces do not have standing committees and are basically governed by warlords and oligarchs.

Either the superintendent would take control of the situation, or the administrative commissioners would each play their own role. However, Ikehashi Matsuo had to break the rules and set up a five-person government affairs team to share government affairs.

"I suddenly joined the government affairs team and served as the deputy team leader. Wouldn't it be too rash?" Tu Shanjie was a little worried.

Ikehashi smiled and said: "You represent me. If you didn't give Zhou Wei and my father-in-law face, I would directly appoint you as the team leader. In short, you have the most say in the five-person group because you speak on my behalf."

Tu Shanji nodded: "I understand."

Later, Chi Qiaosong and Tu Shanji called Zhou Wei, Li Tong, Zheng Ming, and Zhou Li from Yiyang City respectively, and explained to each other the measures of the five-person government affairs team.

After the next day.

Ikehashi Song presided over the meeting, members of the five-member government affairs team attended the meeting, and office director Wang Guixing was responsible for taking notes.

"The five-member government affairs team is just a prototype. I plan to add two more members in the future, but you don't need to know which two they are for the time being."

Ikehashi Matsu woke up.

Then he got back to the topic: "Currently, the third-level positions and the second-level positions are in conflict with each other. For example, the third-level municipal officials only control the large urban areas and have no jurisdiction over the counties under their jurisdiction. This is very bad. I don't know, you guys.

, are there any ideas to solve this shortcoming?"

Zhou Wei immediately said: "Commander, I have an idea."

"Please say."

"At present, there are eleven cities and seventy-two counties in Jiangyou Province, plus five counties in Gumen City and seven counties in Kuocang City, for a total of thirteen cities and eighty-four counties."

Zhou Wei walked to the map, picked up the baton on the table, and drew an outline on the map: "It means that there are ninety-seven master positions, but there are no ninety-seven masters in this province. In addition, the three positions of governor, supervisor, and supervisor are

In fact, it takes a hundred masters to suppress the fate of each county and city. If full-time military personnel are also added, the demand will be even greater."

In principle, the municipal officials and county governors are all served by masters, who enjoy the luck of one city and one county.

But it is precisely for this reason that the county governor, who should be under the jurisdiction of the municipal government, is instead on an equal footing with the municipal government, and no one can control anyone else.

"Keep talking." Ikehashi said.

Zhou Wei has thought about this for a long time: "In my opinion, the solution to the problem of the third-level position and the second-level position needs a three-pronged approach. Administratively, we need to weaken counties and strengthen cities; in terms of personnel, we must separate military and political affairs; in terms of positions,

, strengthen the unity of the capital."

Zhou Wei then explained in detail.

Administratively, weak counties and strong cities are to strengthen the jurisdiction of third-level cities over second-level counties from the administrative level; separation of military and political affairs in terms of personnel means that the masters only fight the war and the scholars manage the counties and cities; in order to appease the masters, there is

To strengthen the Dutong system in terms of duties is to restore the Dutong system and solve the destiny needs of the masters.

"In this way, the municipal official will be a third-level official position, and the county governor will be promoted to a third-level deputy position, which corresponds to the municipal bureau level and will no longer mimic the second- and third-level positions."

"Dutong is designated as a third-level official position, and the power of 'juushi' is distributed to counties and cities in various places. At the same time, it can also control the civil affairs officials of various places. At the same time, each county will definitely not have enough tutong. After the counties are evenly distributed, there will be a tutong.

Those in the city should intercept these unallocated county fortunes. In this way, the fortunes can be distributed according to the strength."

For example, a certain city has five counties.

Four counties were established as capitals, and the ordinary master Xu Dan was responsible for controlling the luck. There was one more county, and no one wanted to control the luck. So Master Shidan was responsible for controlling the luck in the urban area, and at the same time, the county's Qi Luck was also transferred to the city.

If you allocate it, you can get more luck.

have to say.

Zhou Wei's three-pronged combination can really take into account the masters' struggle for luck while maintaining the administrative framework.

Ikehashi Matsu already agreed, but still said: "As for the proposal of the Chief of Civil Affairs, everyone should discuss whether it is feasible and make a plan as soon as possible."

After some discussion, modifications, and additions, the plan was freshly released.

According to this plan, Ikehashi Matsu led the five-person political affairs team and began to discuss how to adjust the work arrangements of the Hong clan warriors and scholars. The real adjustment work would take a long time to coordinate, so the power was completely delegated to the five-person team.

After all, his representative Tu Shanjie and his father-in-law Zhou Li were in the group, so he couldn't be fooled.

…

…

…

"Director Wang, this is my cousin Li Wan, please take care of her."

Ikehashimatsu handed his cousin over to Wang Guixing, director of the Provincial Governor's Office. Wang Guixing naturally patted his chest and promised that he would seriously teach Li Wan and help Li Wan become familiar with provincial affairs as soon as possible.

Among the relatives of Chi's father and Chi's mother, Li Wan is the only college student. Ike Qiaosong hopes that there will be one of his own among the assistant team.

After all, the Republic of Daxia pays great attention to kinship, and families often suffer from both prosperity and loss, so they will not betray easily. In fact, he is also a member of the clan who has no one to use, otherwise the clan power will also be a big help.

Lao Chi was born in Chijia Village.

Although there are several hundred people in the clan, they are all ordinary people, and the land in a county is not enough, let alone the land in a province.

After Wang Guixing left, Ikehashi Matsu handed over to the representative sister: "Follow Director Wang, watch and study carefully, ask if you don't understand anything, and start working as soon as possible. In case of emergency, please directly contact my assistant Tu Shanjie, do you understand?

, if Tu Shanjie cannot be contacted, please contact Supervisor Zhou Li.”

"I understand, Overseer." Li Wan nodded seriously.

"Study hard, cousin."

"Yes, I will."

After sending away their cousin Li Wan, Chi Qiaosong and Tu Shanji informed them and left the provincial capital.

The purple and blue gourd emerged and flew away from Hongdu City invisibly. Its destination was Chaisang City - the former capital of Jiangyou Province, a city guarding the intersection of the Yangtze River and Pengli Lake.

He went directly into the city office and found the municipal official Wei Chengkai who was listening to a ditty in his office.

"Commander..." Wei Chengkai blushed, "Why did you suddenly visit the Chaisang City Office? Is there any urgent matter that I need to handle?"

Ikehashimatsu did not blame Wei Chengkai for listening to music at work.

Anyway, the policy is about to be adjusted, and these masters will soon no longer need to deal with government affairs.

Signaling Wei Chengkai to send the singing waitress away, he said: "I'm here to find you. Accompany me to the Kuangshan Immortal Cave. You don't need to bring anyone else with you, just you and me."

Wei Chengkai didn't ask what was going on and accepted the order directly: "Yes."

Then the two of them walked around in vain and walked up to Kuangshan Immortal Cave - as one of the five major martial arts holy places in Jiangyou Province, Kuangshan Immortal Cave is located in Kuangshan, not far from the urban area of ​​Chaisang.

Chaisang City has been the provincial capital for many years, and Kuangshan Immortal Cave has been vigorously developed and has become the first of the five major martial arts holy places.

Ike Qiaosong and Wei Chengkai suddenly visited, and the disciples of the mountain sect quickly ran to pass the news. A moment later, the bell rang, and the head master Shao Mingxiu quickly came out to greet him with a group of magicians.

"When Governor Chi visited the mountain gate, the Immortal Cave was filled with flowers."

Shao Mingxiu had a gray beard and was older than Fei Miaowen. He bowed slightly and saluted: "Shao Mingxiu, a man from the mountains, brings his disciples from the cave to pay homage to Governor Chi."
