Xu Jingzong was here to take charge of Wu Huaiyu’s enthronement.
Wu Huaiyu could have a military guard palace with a thousand soldiers and horses. He could also have a marriage palace and a tent palace, but these two palaces were also divided into three levels according to the level of vassal states.
A big country can have 333 marriages and 667 people in the tent. A small country can have 222 and 445. Naturally, a small country can only have 111 marriages and 2
In one hundred and twenty-three accounts.
Wu Huaiyu can have 111 marriages and 223 accounts.
In these wedding accounts, priority will be given to selecting items from the Dudu Mansion in Jiangzhou and Hongzhou.
It is roughly five times, with one coming for two months, and one for every ten months. Of course, if there is a good character who is not willing to do this sex service, he can directly pay for the tuition and pay the fee.
"Jiangzhou is the heart of the mainland, so there is no need for a military guard house."
"There is a Tongjun Mansion in Jiangzhou. The imperial court can just transfer it to your Shifeng Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion. It's just a matter of changing the name."
Huaiyu was a little surprised.
As soon as my mind changed, I already understood.
There is talk of changing Jiangzhou Tongjunfu to Jiangzhou Hujunfu, but I'm afraid it's just a name change. The soldiers are still the same soldiers, and the generals are still the same generals.
He smiled and said, "This is indeed very convenient. In the future, will I also be responsible for the expenses of the soldiers and generals?"
Although the government soldiers are soldiers in peacetime for agriculture and war, and do not receive food and salary to prepare their own clothing and food, it does not mean that they do not need to spend money. Armor, shields, bows, crossbows, arrows, even drums and horns, flags, chariots and horses, as well as training expenses, building cities and camps, etc.
These expenses are actually quite large.
The government soldiers just don't need to be paid. They only have individual weapons. The consumption of other weapons and equipment is under the control of the military government.
Of course, military spending is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that Wu Huaiyu spent money to support such a thousand troops, but if the officers are still under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of War, the appointment and dismissal of the officers, the selection of soldiers, etc. are also the imperial court's final say.
Isn’t that just helping the imperial court raise troops?
Xu Jingzong was one of his own, and of course he would not hide it from Huaiyu, but he also knew that Huaiyu had already understood the key.
"I know that the Prime Minister does not want the Protectorate Palace, and has even been opposed to this feudal system, but this matter has to be taken forward like an arrow on the string, and the water that has been thrown away cannot be taken back.
As things have come to this, it is better to obey the will first,
It is His Majesty's arrangement to change the Jiangzhou Tongjun Mansion into the Jiangzhou Protectorate Mansion, so just obey. As for the expenses for raising troops, those are secondary."
Huaiyu nodded helplessly,
The emperor really likes to give him problems. He is obviously the most opposed to this feudal system, but now the emperor insists that he be the first to take the lead and set an example to accept it.
However, from the emperor's miraculous operations, Huaiyu also discovered that Li Shimin was not as random as originally thought, nor was he so relaxed about enfeoffment.
It is said that it gives him the power to appoint officials, but he is required to pay his salary. It is said that a unified military government is directly allocated to him, but he is required to raise troops.
The emperor gave him one-third of the tax revenue from Jiangzhou, which was used to support officials and soldiers, and all of it was reinvested.
As for the marriages of more than 300 people, the tents were all filled with fine materials. They seemed to be his guards of honor, but the officials' sons were just here to take turns serving as errands.
This is more like a monitor placed by the emperor on his vassals.
this night,
Wu Huaiyu and Xu Jingzong rested together and had a long talk.
They didn’t talk much about Jiangzhou, but more about the affairs of the Chang’an court, the East Palace, and some Lingnan affairs.
He even talked about Yizhou.
"You are now acting as the inspector for the Huangmen Minister. Will the Huangmen Minister Wang Gui be resigning?"
"Erlang, you are not in the court, but the affairs of the court cannot be hidden from you."
Wang Gui was also a member of Jiancheng before. The Emperor of Zhenguan Dynasty held him very high, firstly because he was an old princeling, and secondly because he was a son of the fifth surname of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Wang Gui himself was also very famous.
,
But later Wang Gui was demoted to be the governor, and he was called back after only a few years in the local area. But now there is no shortage of two Huangmen ministers, but he worships Xu Jingzong as the Huangmen minister of inspection, so his temporary agent is
Whose place?
Li Baiyao rose from the position of Minister of Rites. Although he has been firmly opposed to Shi Feng recently, Li Shimin relies heavily on this Zhaojun Li.
Then Wang Gui may be out.
"Is Wang Gui released to the outside world?"
Wu Huaiyu felt that Wang Gui could not go further.
"Wang Gui has been impeached by many censors recently. This matter was promoted by Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian behind the scenes, but many things about the impeachment have indeed made His Majesty unhappy."
He told Huaiyu, "I heard that Your Majesty originally wanted to demote Wang Gui to the position of governor of Tongzhou, but later the queen came forward to persuade him. Therefore, it is possible that Dou, the former Minister of Rites and General Zuowei, was reassigned as the Minister of Rites and the teacher of the King of Wei.
Lu Kuan is appointed as the General of Zuowei and no longer serves as the Minister of Rites."
Huangmen Shilang became the Minister of Rites, and also served as the Wei Wang's tutor. This seems to be a promotion.
However, there was Wei Ting in front of him and Wang Gui in the back. One was in charge of the affairs of the Prince of Wei, and the other was also the adviser to the Prince of Wei. Together with the chief ministers of the Prince of Wei, Shi Duchuke and Sima Su Xu,
As well as Prime Minister Zhang Liang, who is also the governor of Xiangzhou, Shi Dai is in charge of the affairs of the governor's office.
What is the emperor trying to do?
Is this intentional to put some pressure on Prince Qian?
Or is it that the fat little Li Tai is the second son, so he is more favored?
But if you do this, let alone the prince, Wu Huaiyu will be under pressure, and it may even give the wrong signal to the people of the world.
Emperor, if you do this, wouldn't it mean that people like Wei Ting, Du Chuke, Wang Gui, Chai Shaohou, Junji, etc. will support King Wei more firmly in his fight for the throne?
Isn't this deliberately creating conflicts?
Is there any way to train a prince like this?
What nonsense.
"When will you remove the words "acting inspection school"?
On the other end of the couch, Xu Jingzong said leisurely, "After this errand is over and I return to Beijing, I guess I can get rid of these three words."
In the province of Menxia, Wei Zheng, the minister in charge, Li Baiyao, the minister of Huangmen, and Xu Jingzong, the minister of Huangmen.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingzong laughed out loud in the dark.
Huaiyu couldn't help but smile. Xu Jingzong didn't seem to be very funny. Historically, he actually laughed at the funeral of Empress Changsun, which made Li Shimin furious.
No confusion at forty,
Xu Jingzong, who had just turned forty, had indeed prospered in officialdom since following Huaiyu.
I remember that back then, he and Li Mi worked together in the Wei Zhengji Office and were in charge of the documents.
Now after many years of going around in circles, he finally caught up with Wei Zheng again, and they were both in Zhongshu Province.
But there is still some distance. Wei Zheng is the minister of the prime minister and the Duke of Julu County. He is the minister of Huangmen and the male of Gaoyang County.
But he firmly believed that as long as he continued to maintain a relationship with Wu Erlang, who was sleeping on the same bed tonight, he would be able to enter the political hall sooner or later, and even be more powerful than Wei Zheng.
The next day,
Wu Huaiyu sat in the governor's office and began to accept the self-declarations of Jiangzhou officials.
Officials in green robes and blue robes lined up one after another, and reported their duties nervously and uneasily. Wu Huaiyu sat there expressionless, listening quietly, taking a pen and writing on the paper from time to time,
Occasionally I would ask a question or two, but I couldn't tell whether I was happy or angry.
There are actually not many internal officials in Jiangzhou. There are three counties in one state, and each county is just the county magistrate, chief clerk, county commissioner, county lieutenant. As for recording affairs, Cao Zuo, as well as the county doctor of economics, doctor of medicine, assistant teacher, etc., have no rank.
Belongs to miscellaneous tasks.
There are not many officials in the state-level yamen. They are the governor, the chief historian, the Sima, and then the six Cao Cao participate in the military, record the affairs and join the army.
The rest of the assistants, historians, warehouse governors, assistant teachers, Li Zheng, etc. are just officials.
In one day, Wu Huaiyu completed the process of listening to his self-declaration.
I spent another two days reading the evaluations of the officials I received from their superiors, subordinates and colleagues.
I also looked at the results obtained by the people I sent out to investigate openly and covertly,
Not to my surprise,
The performance of the prefecture and county officials in Jiangzhou can only be said to be average, neither good nor bad. After all, it is the seventh year of Zhenguan and the sixteenth year of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. It is still an era of political purity and clearness in Haiyan and Heqing.
Not that corrupt and dark, but not worthy of praise either,
Based on the summary results, Wu Huaiyu made evaluations and dispositions for these officials. He dismissed the last few people with the worst evaluations and retired several old men who were over sixty and had no performance.
I selected a few young and strong people with good work ability for promotion and use, and then transferred a few officials to their positions.
The rest remains unchanged for now.
Publicize the results and accept supervision from the masses. If you have any questions, you can report them.
If there is no problem after the announcement expires, the transfer will be formalized.
This is a small-scale adjustment.
Wu Huaiyu used the privileges granted to him by the emperor, but it was not of much use. As for the vacant official positions in Jiangzhou, Wu Huaiyu did not directly fill his own people, nor did he directly recruit the local nobles and famous sons to be officials.
"The announcement is made that I will hold a township examination in Jiangzhou to select talents through the examination,"
This rural examination is roughly modeled on the Imperial Jinshi imperial examination, but it is different. It is divided into three levels of examinations. A preliminary examination will be held first in the three counties of Jiangzhou. Both local students in Jiangzhou and those from other places can apply for it, but it is divided into local and out-of-town examinations.
Admission from both lists, admission ratio is two to one.
Each county will admit 300 candidates for the preliminary examination, 200 for local candidates and 100 for out-of-town candidates in each county. The examination papers will be copied and marked by anonymous means. Those who pass the preliminary examination will be awarded the title of Jiangzhou Children and obtain county examination qualifications.
Nine hundred children participated in the county examination, and each county admitted 100 students. Those who passed were awarded the title of Jiangzhou Maocai and qualified for the township examination, with a one-third admission rate.
The provincial examination is also the state examination. Three hundred talented people compete for thirty places.
Wu Huaiyu will take the examination of these thirty candidates in person at the state government office, rank them, and then grant them official positions in Jiangzhou.
Of course, positions are limited, and official positions are awarded from high to low until all are available.
It doesn't matter if they are not assigned to official positions. Wu Huaiyu can recommend them to serve in Lingnan, or they can directly join Wu Huaiyu's ambassador and shogunate.
Anyway, in this exam, as long as you are a husband and have a clean financial background, you can take part, and for the first time, anonymous marking will be used to ensure fairness as much as possible.
Those scholars who have obtained Tongsheng and Maocai will also be given priority to enter the prefecture and county official schools in Jiangzhou in the future, and even receive a quota from the township to take the imperial examination in Chang'an, or be recommended to study in the Imperial College.
In addition, the Jiangzhou Governor's Office will also give scholarships to candidates who have won the titles of Tongsheng, Maocai, and Juren.
