In the depth of winter, it is impossible to mobilize troops and horses.
Sending some people out is already the limit. This is the case in the Northland. No matter what you do, you have to take weather factors into consideration, and you have to endure the delay of news.
The time has entered the twelfth lunar month, no matter what happens elsewhere, the market in Jinyang has become more lively. At the end of this year, many people seem to have a good time.
At the end of the year, the merit rewards were distributed one after another under the leadership of Zhongshu. Naturally, some people were happy and some were sad. There was no win-win situation.
Because of Li Po's previous relationship, everyone discussed the matter of the title for many times, and in the end it was done very carefully. There were a total of eight people who were promoted to the title, and the differences were huge.
In Li Po's view, this was obviously a way of conferring titles like dividing a cake and was not worthy of praise, but he didn't say anything else.
He Chou was the eldest of Chen Xiaoyi, and he was also the head of the civil service. He was highly respected, and it was reasonable for him to be the first to take the throne of Jin under Li Po's rule.
As for Yuchi Gong, Bu Qun led the left and right guards and set an example for all the generals. Regardless of his qualifications and military achievements, he was comparable to the first two. However, considering that they were still "young", he suppressed it a little and was granted the title of County Duke.
Leave some room for the future.
The remaining four people are naturally the heads of the Wang and Pei clans, Wang Ze and Pei Shiqing. These two people are both internal and external. Not only do they have a large family, but they are also representatives of the Jin clan. We must take these into consideration.
So they both became county officials.
The remaining two positions were given to local officials. One was Yu Wenxin, the general manager of Daizhou. He had worked conscientiously for such a long time without any complaints. Even if he often harbored some messy thoughts, he must be rewarded.
The other one is Zhang Yunzhi, the governor of Xihe County. He is a local official promoted by Li Po himself. He has made outstanding achievements in both Loufan and Xihe, and can set an example for local officials.
Therefore, both of them were granted the title of County Marquis.
It is naturally difficult to satisfy everyone with such a title award, especially the military generals. There are many people with outstanding military achievements. If these people are ahead of me, there must be many people who are not convinced.
But again, Li Po was still alive and kicking, and with the help of civil and military personnel beside him, he was completely able to suppress it.
Furthermore, smart people understand that once the case of knighthood is opened, some people are destined to be knighted sooner or later. It is estimated that there will be no less than one of the eight generals of the Weifu. Zhongshu, senior officials of the six departments,
It’s definitely on the list, don’t worry, if you don’t make it this year, can you still miss it next year?
And if you think about it more deeply, those who take the first step may not always be able to stay in front of others. For example, Chen Xiaoyi and He Chou are very old, and they may abdicate at some point. No matter how high the title is, it will affect the ups and downs of the officialdom.
For them, it is just the icing on the cake.
Another example is Yuchi Gong and Bu Qun. The gap between them and the generals is always narrowing, and those who come from behind may appear at any time.
The phrase "metabolism" is very appropriate. His Royal Highness the King of Han is in his youth. Well, this is a more accurate term for a king. There may be many people who can accompany him on his journey, but when he comes into view
As the scenery becomes wider and wider and more colorful, some people are destined to be "metabolized".
It sounds cruel to say it, but it is also cruel in fact, but things in the world are like this. Only by reinventing the old and incorporating new things can we survive for a long time. Those who remain unchanged are doomed to be eliminated.
Of course, having said that, the process is a process, but the intermediate means vary from person to person, and the final results are also very different.
It goes without saying that in a normal and dynamic group, no one will be indispensable. The only problem is how to ensure that the replacement of the old with the new proceeds normally and smoothly.
This is an issue that Li Po and even his ministers need to carefully consider, and judging from the current situation, they are doing quite well. There is no fierce confrontation between the old and the new, and Li Po is also working hard to control
The speed and direction of travel.
Generally speaking, during this year, the people of Shanxi entered a new stage from top to bottom.
Li Po became king, but the war continued. Everyone had been shouting slogans to pacify the world for many years, but it still seemed far away.
Of course, knighthood is only part of the end-of-year merit rewards. The difference from previous years is that the end-of-year merit rewards are carried out until the end of the year. It takes a bit long, but there is nothing we can do about it. There are many more government offices in Jinyang City.
Next, it’s up to the governor to say whatever he wants.
The bureaucracy is constantly improving, which increases orderliness, legitimacy, etc., but also reduces efficiency.
Moreover, there are many meritorious people, and they need to be carefully considered. The performance appraisal of civil servants is still very rough, but it can finally give officials a smooth and clear path for advancement, which is unmatched before.
As for the military generals, in the past, merit assessment was conducted by the Wei Mansion, and only the promotion of important generals would be decided by Li Po himself. Now, it is changed to the Wei Mansion, where the Ministry of War conducts merit examinations together, and then reports to the Ministry of Personnel, and after approval, it is forwarded to Zhongshu.
The changes are a bit drastic, and many people have not adapted yet. There are frequent mistakes and disputes in the middle links, which further slows down the pace of military merit rewards.
The obvious running-in period caused Li Podu to be a bit worried about the trouble it caused, but he still had to tolerate it and give his full support.
It can be said that Li Po did not have a good year at the end of the year. There were still a lot of things on his desk, and he did not have as much peace of mind as he had hoped.
His ministers also spent the new year in a busy manner. In other words, Jinyang and even the entire Jin officialdom were in a bit of chaos this winter. The end-of-year merit awards were not satisfactory, and
There are not many places that can be praised by people.
But it is this kind of ordinaryness that is in sharp contrast to other princes who are living less than one day at a time, because these days, ordinary often means orderly, and many people cannot be ordinary even if they want to be ordinary.
.
If there is any benefit, it is that this unhurried policy strategy has gained more and more support from the officials and people of Jin. The reputation of the King of Han as loving his people as a son has been further improved and has been widely recognized by people. Well, most of them
At least people can have enough food to survive the winter.
The New Year's Eve in Jinyang is not much different from previous years. Even though people have lived a stable life for two years, they have no intention of putting on lanterns and colorful decorations. At most, their food and drink are better than usual.
This is the case in Jinyang, not to mention other counties and counties. The people in the north are more tenacious, but it will take a long time for them to recover from the pain caused by the war. Now there is no need to think about it.
As the master of the Jin Dynasty, Han King Li Po patiently celebrated the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and for the first time he invited his ministers to the palace to drink and have fun.
At this point, people seem to be breathing a sigh of relief. The end-of-year merit rewards are coming to an end. Wang's revised criminal law has also been approved by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It will be issued by the Ministry of Punishment this year and become the standard of criminal law in Shanxi.
Wang Ze, the head of the Wang family, was very worried. It was uncharacteristic of Wang family to ask his daughter to give a small message to the King of Han. The general meaning was that the criminal law was not perfect yet, and the work of checking and filling the gaps should continue.
The meaning here is self-evident. He is not afraid of taking responsibility, but he is afraid that Yang Gongren, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, will bite the Wang family and give him a chance to retreat in advance.
Li Po was a little funny. People in the Wang family always wanted to be dignified when doing things, but doing so was a bit vulgar. I don't know what kind of fierce inner struggle Wang Ze went through before he became "smart".
Well, no matter what, according to what Li Po said before, Wang's contribution was indispensable. Li Po agreed to this small request without any hesitation.
In addition to criminal law, the coin minting issue presided over by Su Dan also came to an end. At the end of the year, a few new coins were presented to the Li Po table case.
It is very similar to the Kaihuang Five Baht in terms of style, weight, size, etc. However, there are two sample coins with a small Chinese character imprinted on them. In other words, Li Po has to choose one of several new coins.
, as the second coin he issued.
Because of the lessons learned from the past, Su Dan still wanted His Highness the King of Han to name the name. He couldn't just call it random among the people like before. That would be too frightening. It's like Daye Baiqian. It was originally called Daye Five Baht Coin, but he didn't say Baiqian.
Later, some people called him evil money, so the government should kill less people for this reason.
Li Po played with a few new coins in his hands for a long time. He rolled his eyes, wrote the words "Kaiyuan Tongbao" on the paper, laughed, and passed it to the Ministry of Finance to re-cast the sample coins.
Because he has seen such ancient coins, which are said to be made in the Tang Dynasty, it is better to get them first to save the trouble.
Well, he knew that he had robbed other people's business, but what he didn't know was that he was robbing Li Yuan's business. However, Li Tang had been switching from offense to defense for more than a year, so how could Li Yuan still have the time to make a fuss about coins?
.
Therefore, it seems that Kaiyuan Tongbao will inevitably be born in Jin Dynasty, and this is also a pioneering work. It changes the habit of naming coins by weight since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and barely re-evaluates the true value of coins.
For Li Po, the issuance of coins is undoubtedly a major event, but the style of coins and other details are minor details. Especially today, the significance of new coins to him is not that important.
In other words, near the end of the year, several major events that Li Po had proposed before had come to fruition, which made Li Po very satisfied.
People's potential is forced out. Everyone was still complaining before, but look, things are not doing well now. At this point, Li Po has a new understanding of the king's governance.
The ministers always force the king to devote himself to the foundation, and the king also forces his ministers to work non-stop and use their talents to the best of their ability. This is obviously a game where you force me and I force you to see who dares to be lazy.
Of course, the so-called civil and military ways are relaxed. Look at what His Highness the King of Han did. He invited people to have a meal and relax his mind. This means that there are still a lot of things to do next.
