It is said that if one person achieves the Tao, chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. When Li Chengzhong "achieved the Tao" in Yingzhou, the subordinates and subordinates around him will inevitably be promoted accordingly. This is also the default military commander system in the feudal town, and it is also how the military commanders can win the loyalty of their subordinates.
Direct driving force. Otherwise, if the chief officer works hard and works hard alone and is tired, without the help of others, no matter how awesome he is in traveling through the crowd, no matter how good he is in using the golden finger, he is destined to be defeated.
For Feng Dao, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to civil affairs, from the moment he made up his mind to follow Li Chengzhong out of the country, he gradually got the imprint of Li Chengzhong. Of course, he also had the imprint of the governor Zhang Zaiji, who conquered and established the
Feng Dao worked hard and conscientiously in handling civil affairs for Li Chengzhong, allowing Li Chengzhong to put aside complicated and trivial matters and devote himself to military construction.
After more than half a year of hard work, young Feng Dao has gradually shown his calmness. In his interactions with the lowest level people, he has a better understanding of the sufferings and needs of the people, and his behavior has become more flexible.
While sharing the joys and sorrows with Li Chengzhong, the friendship between the two gradually deepened, and at the same time, they became familiar with each other's cooperation.
As the only civil servant around Li Chengzhong, Feng Dao naturally ranked first in terms of merit and rewards.
Feng Dao's official official position is Si Shicao, one of the six Cao Cao of Pingzhou Prefecture. If this official position was in the Taiping years, it should be seventh or sixth rank, but in these troubled times, the imperial court's bestowal of official positions has become
It is a kind of honor without any practical significance, so the rank of subordinate officials in the feudal town has been completely different from the past.
In some more powerful vassal towns, when conferring official titles on their subordinates, they could ask for it in writing from the court at the same time, and the court would not dare to refute it, such as Li Keyong, the governor of Hedong Festival, or Zhu Quanzhong, the governor of Xuanwu Festival. There are also some who are far away from the court.
Or the vassal towns that had obvious disagreements with the imperial court could only appoint officials under their own authority, because their requests for official documents from the imperial court were usually delayed by the political affairs hall, and often ended in vain. For example, Wang Jian, the military governor of Xichuan, also
There was Liu Rengong, the military governor of Lulong.
When Liu Rengong asked his son Liu Shouwen for the post of military envoy of Yichang Army, the court was not very happy. At that time, Liu Rengong had scolded the emperor for this, so the relationship between the two parties was relatively tense. Therefore, Liu Rengong's official document asking for the official post from Chang'an would be delayed for a long time.
As time went by, Lu Long would not get into trouble with the Zhengshitang for official positions that were not particularly needed. This also directly led to the fact that the ranks of the officials under Lu Long were not very high, and most of them could only hold their own positions in Jiedushi.
It can be solved within a certain range, generally no more than level five.
Zhou Zhiyu's fourth-rank general Xuanwei and Zhang Zaiji's part-time governor of Yingzhou need the approval of the Chang'an Political Affairs Hall, but their great achievements in conquering Yingzhou are there, and the gentlemen of the political affairs hall will not be shameless and refuse to give it.
However, the approval will definitely be delayed for several months. Of course, the whole town of Lulongjun doesn't care. They have already acquiesced to this promotion.
Based on the above reasons, Feng Dao's Pingzhou governor's office, Shicao, was only an eighth-grade minor official.
Feng Dao's achievements were seen in Li Chengzhong's eyes and recorded in Li Cheng's heart. He still remembered that he had promised Feng Dao to help him become the governor of Yingzhou. Therefore, the first thing Li Chengzhong thought of was to help Feng Dao step by step.
Work hard to climb higher.
In this adjustment of the Yingzhou resettlement, the Jiedu Prefecture acquiesced to the jurisdiction of the Pingzhou system over Yingzhou and appointed Zhang Zaiji to "also know all the military affairs in Yingzhou". However, within Pingzhou, whether Zhou Zhiyu or Zhang Zaiji
, we all know who has the final say in Yingzhou. Regarding the establishment of the Yingzhou Governor's Office, Li Chengzhong must be consulted for his opinion. This kind of "consultation" has a sense of letting things go.
When Li Chengzhong came back, he spent a day at the Pingzhou Governor's Mansion. The focus of the discussion with the Governor Zhang Zaiji was the composition of the Xinying Prefecture Governor's Mansion. When discussing this issue, Li Chengzhong was obviously not as polite to Zhang Zaiji as he was to Zhou Zhiyu, and his tone
Still respectful, but with a very clear attitude - Yingzhou belongs to me, Li Chengzhong, and of course I, Li Chengzhong, recommend the officials under the governor's office of Yingzhou!
In these days, having soldiers is king. For Li Chengzhong's Yingzhou, Zhang Zaiji, who was named the governor, obviously knew the rules. He only made one appointment, that is, appointing Feng Dao as the governor of Yingzhou governor, with an official rank of seventh rank. In order to achieve this
For this purpose, Li Chengzhong paid a heavy price. He promised to hand over 30,000 guan of money, 200 cattle, and 2,000 sheep to the Pingzhou governor's office every year.
Of course, Li Chengzhong was not without income. The Khitan people did not attach much importance to farming. This year, the entire Yingzhou acres were in need of re-cultivation, so he reached an agreement with Zhang Zaiji, that is, he paid 20,000 guan in money and 200 cattle.
, the price of three thousand sheep purchased more than 10,000 shi of grain, including 1,000 shi of seed grain. Based on the grain consumption of half a shi per person per month, this grain can feed 10,000 farmers for two months.
Mixing mutton with mutton can save 10,000 farmers from having to worry about food for four months, laying an important foundation for the resumption of farming in Yingzhou.
In addition, Li Chengzhong spent another 10,000 yuan to purchase a large number of hoes, axes, sickles, plows, etc. These were all materials designated by Feng Dao. Li Chengzhong now had money and was not stingy in buying them. In order to satisfy Li Chengzhong's purchases,
Zhang organized a large number of craftsmen in Jiji to start building, and it is expected that they will be sent to Liucheng in batches within two months.
Feng Dao was very happy that he had won the position of Chief of the Yingzhou Prefecture. The Chief was originally a staff officer, that is, the head of the vassal. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Chief of Staff placed in the offices of the Prime Minister, Sangong and other officials had great power. The Tang system
, both Shangzhou and Zhongzhou have the post of Chang Shi, who is under Biejia, but has no real power. But what is different from the Chang Shi in the Governor's Office is that the Chang Shi in the Border Protector's Office has
He had great power and high status, and sometimes he could even be recommended and directly serve as Jiedu envoy. After Tianbao, the various protective offices in the Tang Dynasty gradually disappeared, and the post of Changshi gradually faded out of people's sight.
It can be said that the power of the chief historian can be light or heavy, depending on the organization to which it belongs. Yingzhou was originally the governor's military office. The position of chief historian Li Chengzhong asked for for Feng Dao actually focused on the future. Feng Dao is now the governor of Yingzhou.
Governor Shi was the nominal governor of Pingzhou. He was the highest civil official of the Tang Dynasty in Yingzhou and actually acted as governor. When Li Chengzhong was in Bailang Mountain, he promised Feng Dao that he would help him ascend to the position of governor of Yingzhou in the future.
It is now mostly completed.
As soon as Li Chengzhong returned to Liucheng, he immediately discussed with Feng Dao the structure and management of the Yingzhou Governor's Office.
Feng Dao was a little surprised that Li Chengzhong returned empty-handed from the governor's office in Pingzhou. The so-called returning empty-handed did not mean that he did not buy grain and farm tools as agreed with Feng Dao, but that he did not bring back the corresponding blanks.
"Without filing a lawsuit, there is no way to appoint official subordinates. Does the general intend to make them all serve as assistants in the governor's mansion?"
"No, just make the appointment when it's time. If I want to come back with a bunch of blanks, it's not interesting if it's a mess." Li Chengzhong said with a smile.
"It's boring? The general thinks it's boring, but others don't think so. Having an official status and not having an official status are two different things!" Feng Dao was a little dissatisfied with Li Chengzhong's indifferent attitude.
"Who said they don't have official status? Of course we have to give them official status."
"If you don't sue yourself, how can you get an official position?" Feng Dao asked. The topic came back again.
"We will appoint and prepare the petition ourselves. Why do we have to ask for it from Pingzhou? Isn't it just a page of silk paper? At that time, our hands will be tied up and many things will not be dealt with."
Feng Dao laughed angrily: "Without Pingzhou's approval, our confession is illegal! Could it be that the general is planning to rebel?"
Li Chengzhong didn't care much about Feng Dao's big label. These days, almost all feudal lords and towns in the world were rebelling, but no one knew it clearly.
"It's not a rebellion. What I mean is to establish official positions under the Changshi. These officials will be named in the Changshi's Mansion, not the Governor's Mansion. In this case, once they are appointed and appointed, they don't have to go to Pingzhou to ask for them." Li Chengzhong
The fox's tail finally showed, and his intention was to seek a system outside the system.
"The Changshi has no right to appoint officials with high rank. In the final analysis, even if he is officially under the Changshi Mansion, he is still the second assistant on the staff. With no rank and no way out, who can serve in a down-to-earth manner?" Feng Dao explained patiently.
Li Chengzhong shook his head and said: "But Dao still didn't understand. Let's put it this way, there are two elements necessary to be an official, one is power, and the other is position. Now we two brothers have the final say in Yingzhou, even though we are affiliated with the Changshi Mansion
Name, but the power can definitely satisfy. As for the position, which is the rank you mentioned, this is easy to handle, just take the military position. I am the military envoy of Liucheng, I have the right to appoint military positions, any appointment I make, Pingzhou
It is impossible for the government to disagree, and it is just a formality for future reference. Regardless of whether he is a civilian or a military official, as long as he is given a formal rank, he will be an official recognized by the court, and this is his way out."
Feng Dao was stunned for a long time, and finally came to his senses: "The power comes from the Chang Shi's Mansion, and the positions are appointed and dismissed by the military?"
Li Chengzhong nodded: "That's what it means. Since they are the staff of Chang Shi's Mansion, we don't have to follow the court's rules, because the staff of Chang Shi's Mansion are not in the imperial official system. To avoid taboos, we can change the names of these official positions and institutions, so that
If you do, no one will be able to tell the truth."
Feng Dao smiled: "The 'Propaganda Section' and 'Legal Section' you mentioned, were they already thought of?"
Li Chengzhong smiled and said: "Exactly. My plan is to set up a staff organization under Chang Shi's Mansion. Initially, I plan to set up nine departments. That is, office, personnel department, branch department, legal department, publicity department, agriculture department, and industry department.
Commerce and Trade Section, Tax Collection Section.”
Feng Dao was very perceptive, thought for a while, and asked: "The personnel department is the two cao of Si Gong and Si Shi? The branch branch and the tax collection department are the two cao of Si Hu and Sicang? The law department is the judicial cao? Industry, agriculture and
Which of the six categories does the Business and Commerce Department correspond to? What is the function of the office?"
Li Chengzhong said: "We don't need to deal with the various officials in the governor's office. We will do it ourselves."
Feng Dao asked again: "If we don't respond, how will the official documents of Jiedu Prefecture and Heping Prefecture be circulated and executed?"
Li Chengzhong said: "There is no need to consider this issue within a year. The money and grain collection from Jiedu Mansion will not fall directly on Yingzhou. As for the share to be handed over to Pingzhou, I have already reached an agreement with Governor Zhang. The amount is 30,000 yuan per year."
