Li Po looked at Chen Xiaoyi and said with a smile: "Prefect Chen, those who are capable work harder. How about taking the prefect of Yanmen and being the general manager of the palace, Shi?"
In fact, whether he appointed Su Quan as the prefect of Loufan before or Chen Xiaoyi as the general manager of the palace now, it was obviously inconsistent with Li Po's status as the general manager of Daizhou's march.
Since the reign of Emperor Wen, the prefects and officials in the imperial court have directly accepted their fate. Not to mention accepting their fate at the local level, they have not even been recommended.
This was Emperor Wen's effort to centralize power.
As for the marching general manager, there was no long history.
But none of the people sitting here take it seriously. These days, the real emperor has been strangled to death. There are many local emperors who have many talents. There are many people who have proclaimed themselves emperors. The general manager of Daizhou’s march appointed several prefects, and there are many people around him.
It is really not surprising that some aides such as long history are here.
Chen Xiaoyi's face remained calm, but in fact he felt relieved. How could he not see Li Po's doubts? And he was a man who wanted to save face. Being forced by the situation to surrender to Li Po was already his bottom line.
Already.
If Li Po transferred him away from Yanmen now, it would be a sign that he didn't trust Chen Xiaoyi. If his face fell, he felt that staying in Daizhou wouldn't make much sense.
At this moment, I felt at ease and thought, since you have this capacity, what else can you say?
Then he stood up and bowed his head and said: "I am an old official, but I still have the trust of the general manager. I must do my best to repay it and I dare not be negligent."
In fact, he didn't gain much. The position of chief historian should be above everyone else, but generally speaking, he can only be a staff member of the general manager's office, or the position of Yanmen prefect is more practical.
In other words, he didn't gain anything. But he didn't lose anything either. But if you think about it deeply, Chen Xiaoyi's status will be stable now that his position is certain, and he will firmly occupy a more prominent position in Daizhou. In the future, he will
What kind of situation it is? It just depends on the fate of each person.
There were only a few people in the room. Li Po looked at Wang Lu again and was not so cautious. He said directly: "Wang Juncheng, when the people in Mayi were in chaos, you escaped quickly. Today I will appoint you as the governor of Mayi..."
"You are facing the Turks here, don't you want to betray me?"
This was so disrespectful. Wang Lu's face immediately turned red. But then he became happy instead of angry.
He was different from guys like Wang Rengong and Chen Xiaoyi who were as hard as rocks. What he thought was that although these words sounded unpleasant, they sounded different from those guys in a casual and affectionate way.
This means that he is not treated as an outsider. Also, Luo Shixin is his son-in-law, and he can also be regarded as this person's in-law. Naturally, he is not an outsider.
He was secretly happy in his heart, but still felt ashamed. He stood up and bowed deeply, "With the prince in front of me, how can I let my Majesty fall into the enemy's hands? Don't worry, the manager, I will live and die with the county and the people in this city."
Li Po did not treat him the same way. He waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry. The old things will not happen again. There are Yunnei and Shenwu in front, and there are soldiers stationed in the back. There is Yanmen in the back. Loufan is the support, and the Turks are there."
If they come again, the soldiers and civilians of our three counties will fight with them, and we don’t know who will win.”
"So, your city of Mayi is much more stable than before. You can take care of yourself."
Wang Lu immediately complimented him and said: "With the general manager in Daizhou, he can defeat thousands of troops. I feel at ease as a subordinate."
Chen Xiaoyi and Wen Yanbo both looked at him slightly sideways as if they couldn't bear to witness it. In their eyes, this Wang Lu was really a flatterer, and they would never get close to this person in the future.
Li Po didn't think so. He felt that Wang Lu was very useful. Ever since he led his troops into Mayi, this man had never given him any trouble. He only followed orders and was better than many others.
So he smiled and pressed his hands, asked Wang Lu to sit down, and then continued: "Wen Sima, you are here for the first time, but you can't be idle. I am here to appoint and remove officials in Daizhou, sort out household registration, and prosecute criminal names and jails.
As well as all the farming and mulberry matters, I have left them to you, are you willing to share my worries and solve my problems?"
The three prefects all trembled in their hearts at the same time. As a result, this descendant from Youzhou will have no less power in Daizhou than them.
Chen Xiaoyi and Su Dan were hesitant to speak, because in this way, Daizhou's official system has actually changed from two levels of counties to three levels. It seems to be clearly hierarchical and has many benefits, but the biggest one is
The disadvantage is actually slow response, which will also breed countless redundant officials.
But they unanimously swallowed back all their words of persuasion. The three counties of Daizhou were reunited under one roof, which was not yet safe. This person obviously wanted to let the general manager control the three counties.
Such considerations are actually a matter of reason.
If you object now, are you thinking about yourself or making long-term plans for the future? Therefore, no matter how reasonable you are at this time, it is inappropriate.
Wen Yanbo was very satisfied, especially in prison matters, which was his family's specialty, and in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials. It was a perfect match.
He had a slight intention of leaving, but he was retained by Guanjue. He was a man of fame and fortune, and no one could blame him.
In fact, later facts proved that Li Po was not a man who could load a ship, because the number of Sima in the Daizhou Governor's Mansion increased from one to three.
Li Bi was appointed Sima to join the army and was in charge of military training and military affairs.
Wang Qing is also the Sima in charge of the general administration, responsible for military pay, supplies, recruiting troops, and other affairs on behalf of the state.
Under them, Cao's subordinates were established, and the military and political power of Daizhou was completely controlled by the Daizhou Marching Commander's Office. At this time, the Daizhou Marching Commander's Office was actually almost equivalent to a ****.
Of course, this is not an ideal state. Almost all of the three Sima's have multiple jobs. On the one hand, their workloads will increase, and their power will become greater and greater, which will inevitably cause a lot of troubles in the future.
But there was nothing that could be done about it. When the Daizhou Marching Army General Administration Office was being established, there were not many people around Li Po who could be used and trusted.
Moreover, he is extremely reluctant to involve generals and lieutenants in this system. This may change in the future, but now when he is using troops, he has to make a choice.
Is it to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army or to speed up the improvement of the system?
Actually that's a good choice, isn't it?
Therefore, this gathering actually became a gathering of the political core of Daizhou.
Li Po straightened up, looked around the four people, and said solemnly: "The first thing is that I will station myself at the Yuandai Prefecture General Manager's Mansion, and everything from now on will be reported to Yanmen."
"The second thing, Wen Sima, all the officials and subordinates of the Daizhou Marching General Administration should be prepared as soon as possible. How important is the selection of talents? I don't need to say more? I hope you can help me.
Don't hide your secrets, otherwise the reputation of a person who is envious of talents and talents will not sound very good."
The other people nodded, with smiles on their faces, but Li Po knew what they were thinking without even guessing.
This is the best opportunity to deploy people to the General Manager's Mansion. If they don't take advantage of it, Li Po will look down on them.
But that was a headache for Wen Yanbo. As the general manager of Daizhou March, he didn't mind these small tricks. As long as he was capable and trustworthy, who wouldn't be used?
And when he thought about it, if Wen Yanbo was not stupid, he would definitely pick some confidants from among the people of Youzhou.
This is a matter that tests everyone's selfishness and ability. By then, everyone's character may be more or less the same.
"The third thing is household registration. This is the most important thing. You are doing it too slowly."
At this point, Li Po increased his tone and expressed his dissatisfaction, "With accurate household registration, I can allocate land, houses, and pastures to the people, and then I can continue to recruit soldiers..."
"This matter must be done well by me. There are no real big families in Daizhou anymore. You know this better than me. Is it really that difficult to record household registration? Do you want me to send troops to help you check?"
Several people were sitting upright, feeling a little embarrassed. All the various reasons seemed to be blocked by this person.
Chen Xiaoyi is still senior and dares to speak, "General Manager Rong Chong, we have done our best, but the people who have migrated have gradually entered the counties, and now the arrivals are gradually disappearing. I think the household registration will be completed soon.
"
Li Po nodded, "Wen Sima has the detailed household registration of the people in Youzhou. Send it to the three counties. Compare it carefully and report it as soon as possible. What should be done first and what should be delayed?
Everyone needs to understand.”
Li Po paused, reached for the tea cup, took a sip of cold tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "One more thing, which is also a top priority, what is the price of food in various counties now?"
This question, again on point, made the three prefects who had just been promoted to official positions feel a little uncomfortable. Even Chen Xiaoyi and Wen Yanbo looked at the young Daizhou marching commander with admiration.
.
How much ambition, vision and talent a person has can be most easily seen in a clear-cut dialogue.
Li Po had fully entered the role, and the few silent eyes he looked at gradually became stern. Of course, according to his habits, it meant that he was not too angry.
This time it was Su Dan who broke the silence with a sigh, "The price of food in Loufan is still high... but I don't dare to lower the price of food..."
The other two prefects nodded secretly, feeling concerned.
Li Po was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized that he smacked his lips. This kind of strange thing was actually not difficult to understand at all.
Thinking about Yunnei then and now, we actually know that people are already panicking about the shortage of food, once the government levels down food prices.
Who doesn't want to stock up on more food these days? The end result may be that people can buy as much as you sell, even if they bankrupt their fortunes.
In peacetime, copper coins may be very valuable, but during this New Year's Day, they are the most useless. The general equivalent is so meaningless.
Therefore, what he asked is actually problematic...
(Monthly ticket, monthly ticket, by the way, give a thumbs up to Ah Cao’s short novel Qiu Xian, and you can also win a lottery. Well, it’s a bit hard to find, but everyone took the trouble, thank you very much.)
