Xu Wei continued: "I have always told you that occupying land without developing it is meaningless at all. Instead of envying other counties in the Han Dynasty, we should develop the three counties of Heshuo. In the past, we could not develop the land."
Yi is one of the poorest border counties in Bingzhou, but after more than two years of construction, I dare say that the current Mayi will not be much worse than Luoyang City. If we can build all three counties of Heshuo
Just like Ma Yi, the strength of the Han Dynasty is vulnerable to us."
As expected, Wang Ge and the others looked disappointed. They had 90% expected this result, but they always held on to a glimmer of hope to see Xu Wei's change, and Xu Wei also told them that their Qu Shuai had no hope at all.
no change!
Old men like Old Man Wang and Old Man Niu disliked fighting the most. When they heard Xu Wei’s words, their hearts finally fell. Then they supported Xu Wei and said, “What Commander Qu said is right. Don’t think about fighting and killing all day long.
Kill, if you want to find a way to build the territory of our Tengjia Army, once you go to war, all the autumn harvests of several years will be wasted. You really don’t know that our Tengjia Army has never saved enough food for a year. What has happened to the big men in these years?
You have also seen that, not to mention military disasters, natural disasters are constant. If we are defeated, our territory will be huge, but how do you feed these refugees? Now there are no prefects in Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County, and they have occupied other counties. You have the ability
Prefect?"
Old Man Niu also said: "Qu Shuai has always said that we in Mayi should save enough food for three years. We have been in Mayi for more than two years. When did we save enough food for three years?
Why do we arrange for good farmers to become officials during the summer harvest this year? We want them to increase the grain production of our Tengjia Army so that we can have three years of grain reserves, enough to weather any natural or man-made disasters!"
Xu Weidao: "We might as well take this opportunity to decide on the candidates for the governors of Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County! Do you have any good suggestions?"
Xu Wei has a really big group of kittens here. When they are together, we can still discuss and do things, but if they really have to take charge of their own affairs, Xu Wei is really a little worried. But no matter how worried he is, if the territory is too big, someone still needs to guard it.
Zhang Baiqi thought for a while and said: "Qushuai, Yunzhong County and Wuyuan County are both close to the territory of the Xianbei people, and non-warriors cannot guard them. The position of governor of these two counties is better to be selected from the army!"
Although the Tengjia Army occupied the three counties of Shuofang, they only appointed Wang Lei as the prefect. The other two counties in Mayi selected some district chiefs and township chiefs with good performance to become county magistrates.
As for the prefect Xu Wei, he didn't know who should be appointed to the post even after thinking about it for a long time. There was no way. This might be the flaw of taking the lower-level route. Other princes could appoint famous people in history to serve as prefects, and there was even a surplus.
As for Xu Wei, he estimated that only Zhang Baiqi and the Yellow Turban Army Commanders who had taken refuge in him had made a mark in history, and most of them gave experience to famous generals. Xu Wei could not help but think of them every time he saw them.
It reminds me of the Yellow Turban soldiers in "The Legend of Cao Cao". They have weak combat effectiveness but high experience points. They give you gift packs!
Xu Wei looked at Wang Ge and the others, and they also looked at Xu Wei excitedly. After Wang Lei became the prefect of Shuofang County, Wang Ge and the others were a little bit ready to make a move. There were really not many people who refused to accept the 2,000-stone high-ranking official.
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "Let the two people with the highest military merit become prefects!"
So everyone quickly looked at Niu Gui and Zhao Rong. Needless to say, Niu Gui was the most senior officer in the Tengjia Army. When the Tengjia Army only had 3,000 people, he and Wang Lei commanded the first battalion.
Zhao Rong, on the other hand, resisted the 100,000 Xianbei army at Pingcheng Wubao and became recognized as the person with the greatest contribution in the war with the Xianbei people!
Seeing this scene, Xu Wei smiled and said: "Since everyone recognizes you, then Niu Gui will leave Yunzhong County to you for protection, and Zhao Rong Wuyuan County will leave it to you to protect. You can each bring a battalion of cavalry.
If you encounter an invasion by the Xianbei people, you can recruit local militia to defend your homeland!"
Niu Gui and Zhao Rong said excitedly: "My subordinates will definitely not disappoint Qu Shuai!"
At this time, Zhang Baiqi suddenly said: "Commander Qu, now our Tengjia Army has millions of troops, and the territory it occupies is equivalent to the entire Han Dynasty, but the system is very chaotic. There are stewards to manage each workshop.
There is a district chief to manage the people, there are also township heads, brigade captains, etc. It is very complicated, and there is also a militia system. Everyone's responsibilities conflict with each other. Should we take this opportunity to straighten it out now, or else wait until our Tengjia Army continues to expand its territory
,Such a chaotic system will definitely affect the development of our Tengjia Army!"
Old man Wang also followed up and said: "Now the population of Mayi is increasing. The old man calculated that there are more than 300,000 of our tribesmen living in Mayi, and there are hundreds of thousands of outsiders. Just rely on us.
We really can’t manage the manpower, so we need to add more manpower.”
Xu Wei became excited when he heard this.
This is the one I am most familiar with. Which time traveler doesn’t know several systems! What about the three provinces and six ministries, the provincial system, the cabinet system, and even the parliamentary system? To put it bluntly, I know a little bit about it!
Xu Wei asked: "What do you think?"
Wang Ge and the others looked at each other. If they talked about military matters, they could barely explain it, but when it came to civil affairs, they really didn't understand anything at all!
Zhang Baiqi said: "To strengthen the military strength of Mayi, at least a group of soldiers must be stationed in each community. Nowadays, there is a mixture of Hu and Han people in Mayi, which often causes conflicts. There are also cases of deception and abduction by businessmen.
But businessmen are highly mobile, so we can’t catch these profiteers at all!”
The current situation in Mayi is said to be full of vitality and governed by inaction at best, but chaotic and uncontrollable at worst. The Eastern Han government was a small government, and they didn't care about many things at all.
When Xu Wei and others occupied Mayi, they instinctively copied the Eastern Han Dynasty government system, as well as some modern systems added by Xu Wei himself. Therefore, there was no market in Mayi, but there were more district heads and township heads in the counties.
But under the township head, there are modern positions such as captain and squad leader. But this cannot change the small government structure of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so many things in Mayi cannot be managed at all now.
But now here in Mayi, if we are more confident, we can say that the industrial revolution really happened here. The small government system of the Eastern Han Dynasty is suitable for today's Mayi. Xu Wei is eager to bring the entire modern system to this world.
But fortunately, he knew that haste makes waste, and it is estimated that modern manufacturing would be difficult to sustain even if Ma Yi went bankrupt. He did not want to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor Wang Mang. One step ahead is a madman, and half a step is a genius.
Xu Wei thought for a while that the three provinces and six ministries system of the Tang Dynasty should be in this era!
Of course, Mayi now only covers half of the state, and many places can be simplified.
Xu Wei thought in his mind for a long time and said: "Our various administrative departments in Mayi can be divided into the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry!"
The responsibilities of the six departments are divided into:
Ministry of Personnel: Responsible for the assessment, appointment and dismissal of our officials in Mayi.
Department of Revenue: We manage the finances of the entire city of Mayi. From now on, no matter who wants money, it must be approved by the Department of Revenue.
Department of Etiquette: They manage the teachers and the school. They are also responsible for our respective festival celebrations.
Ministry of War: Responsible for military affairs, such as militia recruitment and training, as well as the purchase of weapons and equipment.
Ministry of Punishment: Responsible for the administration of justice and the management of large and small cases in Mayi.
Ministry of Industry: Responsible for engineering construction, the engineering team in Mayi is divided under their name, and the various workshops in Mayi are also under the name of the Ministry of Industry! The level classification of Mayi craftsmen is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry!"
Xu Wei told them carefully that everyone knew what the six chief officers were going to do. Then everyone began to think about which chief officer they were suitable to be!
Xu Weidao: "Everyone can tell which officer they think their abilities are suitable for. As long as they are suitable, I think everyone will agree!"
Zhang Baiqi said: "It's Qu Shuai who names the person he approves. We all trust Qu Shuai!"
Others also said: "Who among us can have a better vision than Qu Shuai!"
After everyone said this, Xu Wei was not polite. He said: "The Ministry of Industry is the most important to Mayi. Uncle Niu, with your experience, it is the best time to become the chief officer of the Ministry of Industry."
Old man Niu smiled and said: "Old man will definitely help Qu Shuai look at the industrial zone!"
"Commander Guo Daxian, you will be in charge of the Criminal Department. I hope you can enforce the law fairly!"
Guo Daxian said: "My subordinates will definitely not disappoint Commander Qu!"
"Wang Ge, I will leave the military department to you!" Now that Mayi's territory is small, the military units are simply concentrated together. They will definitely be subdivided in the future, otherwise Wang Ge, the chief of staff, will be more powerful than the Taiwei of the Han Dynasty!
Wang Ge smiled and said: "My subordinates, I will definitely help Commander Qu manage military affairs well!"
"The Ministry of Etiquette has been handed over to you, Liu Shi. I hope you can help our Mayi students become talented as soon as possible!"
Liu Shi was originally one of the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army. He was one of the few scholars who was familiar with the Six Classics. He originally followed Zhang Baiqi to teach in Mayi Primary School, and then Zhang Baiqi began to help Old Man Wang manage the daily affairs of Mayi.
The principal of Mayi Primary School is basically Liu Shi, so he is the official in charge of the Ministry of Etiquette!
Liu Shi was not excited when he heard the appointment, and then said calmly: "No!"
"The household department is the most important place in our Mayi city. Sun Qing will leave it to you, and you will leave the treasury affairs to your deputy to manage!"
Sun Qing said excitedly: "My subordinates will definitely help Qu Shuai manage the money and food in Mayi!"
"Finally, Qian Yu will be the chief officer of the Ministry of Personnel!"
Qian Yu was surprised. He was originally just a military supervisor, barely considered a high-level official in Mayi, but he was indeed the lowest-ranking high-level official. Now, he was suddenly promoted to one of the six chief officers. It could be said that he had reached the sky in one step.
"My subordinates, I will not disappoint Commander Qu. I will take good care of the officials in Mayi and prevent them from becoming corrupt officials!"
He believed that Xu Wei promoted him to be the chief official of the Ministry of Personnel to supervise the officials in Mayi.
The chief officials of the six ministries were determined, and then came the three provinces that managed these six ministries. Among them, the Shangshu Province was the most important, as it was the highest administrative agency responsible for executing the country's important decrees, and was equivalent to the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
Xu Wei originally wanted Old Man Wang to take the post, but with more than one million tribesmen in Mayi, it was beyond Old Man Wang's management ability. Now it is Old Man Wang's deputy Zhang Baiqi who manages Mayi.
Thinking of Zhang Baiqi's help after coming to Mayi, Xu Weidao said: "There are three agencies above the six ministries, namely the Zhongshu Province, the Menxia Province, and the Shangshu Province. Among them, the Shangshu Province is mainly responsible for commanding the work of the entire six ministries, and the chief of the Shangshu Province
Zhang Baiqi has been appointed as the official again!"
Zhang Baiqi was also shocked when he heard this. He has become the number 2 figure in Mayi!
He saluted Xu Wei and said: "Thank you very much for your trust in Qushuai. My subordinates will definitely help Qushuai manage the entire Mayi!"
"And the Provincial Examiner under the Gate is responsible for reviewing government orders and supervising the officials in Mayi! Mr. Wang, you will be the Shizhong Ling!"
Old man Wang smiled and said: "This old man understands that this is the imperial censor, who is used to supervise the prime minister!"
Xu Wei smiled and said: "It's pretty much the same!"
"Finally, Zhongshu Sheng is our decision-making body in Mayi. Whatever edicts we discuss and bills are issued by Zhongshu Sheng. This is equivalent to giving my Academy of Secret Arts a name. Now I will help everyone to find out and fill in the gaps.
The original secretary-general Chu Xiao will be the one!"
Chu Xiao just nodded to everyone. He had followed Xu Wei in Wei County. He was originally a young man from a poor family and had some knowledge, but he was also infected with the scholar's greedy and fearful character. He had followed Xu Wei for so many years without making any achievements.
How public it is, the only good thing is that we do things rigorously and don’t make any big mistakes!
Everyone saw that Chu Xiao was also a veteran, so they nodded in agreement.
Then Xu Wei continued: "Those are our decision-making and management institutions just now. The local institutions will also need to change. The six ministries will also have six divisions in each county, and each county will have six cao. The responsibilities are the same as those of the six ministries in Mayi.
It is the same, it can be said to be a department under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Department."
"Local departments also need to be formalized. It does not mean that there is not enough manpower. We will set up a sub-district under the district and set up a director to manage the people in a street. The public security in Mayi is chaotic. Each community can have a security officer.
In a police station, there is a director who manages the security issues of a district, and his subordinates range from a few to hundreds of people. The manpower arrangement depends on the environment of the security station! In rural areas, our original grassroots organization is enough, so we don’t need to make many changes!
"
After the meeting, Ma Yi's new leadership team was formed! Everyone began to be busy with their own affairs, and finally had no time to pay attention to the war in Youzhou.
After all, once these administrative units in Mayi were formalized, there were several times more officials, and the whole Mayi became busy. With Mayi's meager talent pool, it is not easy to find enough talents to fill these positions.
More than 200 Litian were far from enough. Qian Yu, who had just become the chief official of the Ministry of Personnel, ran to Xu Wei and begged Xu Qiang to recruit more Litian this year, preferably more than 800 people.
The top officials in Mayi are also busy. Naturally, they look down on small positions like director and district mayor, but high-level official positions. Although the chief officer of the six departments has been confirmed, the subordinate officials have not yet been confirmed, so everyone in Mayi is in contact
My old leader helped me get a good position. Seeing that Mayi is getting prosperous day by day, everyone feels that Mayi has a bright future, so naturally they don't want to lag behind others. If you are one step behind now, you don't know how much time it will take to catch up later!
