Starting from late September, the rain began to become dense, layer by layer, occasionally washing the whole world in intervals.

At this time, rumors gradually emerged in Jiangling City, saying that the chief of the gang, Zhang Xing, seemed to be in a good mood recently, or it was no longer a rumor, but a fact recognized by all over the country.

To be honest, this incident has not had a great impact. It is said that both inside and outside Jianglingcang City and the middle and senior management involved in the military camp training were a little uneasy, especially after this autumn, the outside world was surging. The so-called troublesome autumn is nothing more than this.

On this day, five more battalions were preparing to finish the training. They stayed in Jiangling or Guiying respectively according to the proportion. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the restaurants outside the city naturally became lively again.

"Why?" Zhai Qian was puzzled in a restaurant opposite Niuma Camp. "Isn't the situation big?"

"Is it because the military formation has not started?" Niu Da blurted out. "The third brother has always been unhappy with this."

"This is not necessary." Xu Shiren said helplessly. "This kind of thing will be successful, but it will not be successful. We are indeed not strong enough, and it is always right to prepare for training with officers. It is also successful. Why be discouraged by this for so long?"

"That's definitely not for this. The chief wouldn't keep worrying about such a foregone conclusion." Xu Shiying suddenly spoke. "It's definitely not about Henan that you want to say, Huaixi has made half of Yingchuan, what is the case with Jiyin Xingtai? A county is not enough to change the overall situation. Besides, this is the case in Jiyin. Xingyang cannot move at all... The real future is still in Hebei... Didn't the chief also officially issue a document to ask Jiyin Xingtai to become the governor of Liang County, without hesitation?"

Most of the people here are Henan generals, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

After all, the conflict between Li Shu and Zhang Xing is always the most sensitive and unavoidable problem for them. In the past, there was no need to say much about the opposition between the two. Now that Zhang Xing has become the chief, the problem has not completely disappeared. This is because Chief Zhang chose Hebei strategically, and the East Realm, especially the three counties in the western part of the East Realm, are still psychologically important. Moreover, the change of flags in Liang County is also very beneficial to them, because it gives most of their hometowns a layer of protection.

If this causes related internal problems, it will be a headache.

"What's going on?" Zhai Qian asked seriously. "Xu Dalang, since you know more, you'll just do it."

"I think it's more related to Cheng Dalang's marriage to the daughter of Cui." Xu Shiying answered seriously.

"Not it?" Wang Shuyong frowned slightly. "The third brother has never been in the marriage of his subordinates. Is your sister married Xiong Tianwang still the matchmaker? Or is it because the third brother disliked Cheng Dalang for taking action first and then reporting, or took the way of the Fang brothers?"

"It should be because of the habit of climbing higher when you get the power." Xu Shiying glanced at the other party and added a little.

"Isn't the chief married a Bai woman?" Zhai Qian felt even more ridiculous when he heard this.

"So the chief did not interfere, but he was just angry." Xu Shiying replied casually. "After all, I feel that Cheng Dalang is more private than public in recent years, and he has a lot of thoughts, but he has not been in the main business. But he is like a loach, and it is not easy to get into trouble. Even because of his cultivation and experience, the camp has indeed used three points of effort, and it is not easy to deal with even demotion and transfer... and there must be some concerns that others will be led by Cheng Dalang to live. After all, what is this? The real tough battle must be against those people in Guanlong and Jin. My family is indulging in the wine-wine women and business owners first. Why can we win?"

Everyone suddenly realized and then felt relieved. They all made a statement and mocked Cheng Dalang for being unwilling to be angry.

However, Niu Da frowned slightly and came back to ask: "Doesn't you dislike the big leader of Henan who led the army marrying the Hebei clans? Is it impossible to lose the big one?"

The restaurant suddenly became silenced.

"There must be." Xu Shiying glanced at Niu Da and continued to speak easily. "If two or three like this happen at once, the chief will inevitably get angry... But if he gets angry, in fact, according to the chief's habit, this kind of thing will go beyond this level, only looking at the individual."

"What does it mean?" Niu Da was a little puzzled.

"That is to say... the so-called big tail has never been lost. Since the gang was built, we were already the biggest trouble. And the reason why the chief can turn the virtual into the real world step by step is that the so-called countermeasures are at least the countermeasures to deal with us, and they never mean to hit a large number of people." Xu Shiying said casually. "The three most common countermeasures... The first one is to call people, which is to constantly expand the territory, expand the strength of the gang, and win over new people.

Come in and spread the authority and importance of a single leader. The second is to establish a system. In the words of being open and honest, then do an open and upright reorganization, establish an open and upright rules, and ask you to abide by the rules; the third is to target individuals... depending on your good or bad, you may win over your kindness or suppress them. In short, it is to make you obey one by one, and not all gangs? As long as the leader is honest and obedient, everything will be solved."

Wang Shuyong, who had not said anything, seemed to think of something, suddenly laughed but didn't speak.

Niu Da didn't care: "In this way, the third brother is still the most concerned about Xu Dalang, which shows that Xu Dalang is the most powerful among us."

The few people almost couldn't hold back their laughter, but Xu Shiying just snorted coldly and stopped talking.

However, Zhai Qian asked again a little later: "If this is the case, should we give a little reminder to make Cheng Dalang slow down?"

"Old Zhai wants to be a good person and do it yourself." Niu Da shook his head quickly. "I have a personal fate... Moreover, if according to Xu Dalang's words, the third brother will either openly plot against public law or discuss the matter with his own affairs. What should we remind you? If he is really defeated, he will cause trouble by himself."

Several people nodded one after another.

"You can't say that." Zhai Qian said disapprovingly. "Who was as smart as Xu Dalang at the beginning? Even if you were as smart as Xu Dalang, wouldn't you also be blinded by private soldiers? These words are obviously hard to say from the chief. Let's tell Cheng Dalang to remind him that he will be a little more restrained, and he may not end in the future... Even if it is Xu Dalang, now you are less angry. How big a person is, you still have to coax him? People say that you used to speak beautifully, but now you are doing things with a solid job, but you are both beautiful and reliable at the same time. Isn't that good?"

Xu Shiying wanted to speak but stopped, but never expected that he would be ridiculed by this rough man, and the others nodded... It seemed that everyone could sarcastically? But you didn't care about it... because he knew very well that since he came to Hebei, he had indeed become unbalanced and had not mediated for a long time. No matter how cunning he was like the previous group, he was actually an alternative self-abandonment.

After talking for a while, Zhai Qian went down first, braved the rain and prepared to leave, saying that he wanted to go back and ask for documents to help write a letter to Cheng Dalang.

The other few people looked at each other, but no one was willing to follow Zhai Qian to find Cheng Zhili.

However, when Zhai Qian walked downstairs, the people on the second floor could see clearly, and a group of people suddenly came out of the Niuma camp opposite. Both sides bumped into each other, and it was Zhai Qian who took the initiative to bow and say hello in the rain.

But it was Chief Zhang Xingzhang, Dou Lide, Cao Xi and his wife, who seemed to have just returned from inspecting the Niuma Camp.

With cultivation, the leaders of both sides did not hold umbrellas and just talked in the drizzle. Then Zhai Qian pointed upstairs, and the people upstairs were also embarrassed, so he wanted to go down together.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xing bowed his hand from afar and turned to the city without looking back. Instead, Dou Lide looked here repeatedly.

This made the few people even more embarrassed - they said they were open and sent back to their garrison, but who did not know the sensitivity of such private gatherings? Today, when they were hit, it would be okay if Dou Lide and his group of people were thinking too much, but if they were remembered by Chief Zhang, if they didn't say it, they would get rid of it one day, who would be?

Not to mention these people's embarrassment for a moment, it was just said that Zhang Xing hurriedly returned to Jiangling City. It was also because of the reason. These days, he has been worried about this dilapidated gang.

After passing through the rain curtain and entering Cangcheng, the blue bricks on the ground of Cangcheng had been washed away by the rain. Chief Zhang went directly into the largest public housing, while Chen Bin, Cui Suchen, Xie Minghe, Ma Wei, Yan Qing and others were waiting here.

In addition, Dou Lide and Cao Xi, who came with him, were basically in charge of the general affairs general affairs general affairs.

"How do you say it?" Zhang Xing asked as soon as he entered the house.

"That's right, chief, there's a plan. We discussed it privately and think it's feasible." Chen Bin, who was waiting for Zhang Xing, looked at the chief in front of him carefully, then glanced at Dou Lide and his wife who followed in, and then said slowly. "There seems to be a little turmoil in the gang at the moment. If this strategy can be implemented, it may be able to calm people's hearts in a short time... and it will be something that will be done sooner or later, and it is indispensable."

"What does it mean?" Zhang Xing was a little surprised. "What does it mean to be a little turmoil in the gang?"

"It is because of the situation outside that the gang is a little uneasy." Xie Minghe answered first. "War is fighting on all sides, and those who don't fight are also engaged in conspiracy, which makes everyone unable to sit still recently... Soldiers, farmers, and merchants are worried about fighting. The officers and some leaders are urging to fight. Some people take the opportunity to contact each other privately, or pick up marriages or reminisce about the past, as if they are preparing something... Even Chief, don't you worry all day long?"

Zhang Xing carded and unexpectedly did not refute: "What is your plan?"

"We think we can add some official positions." Chen Bin took over and answered it seriously.

Chief Zhang suddenly realized: "Add a new position, give some people promotion and decentralization, so that they can be settled?"

"This is the reason, but the key to this matter is whether the addition of positions is reasonable or not..." Chen Bin continued to say. "Chief, don't you think Bohai County is too big?"

Zhang Xing became more and more aware of it.

There is nothing to say.

You should know that since the so-called land annexation, the rise of powerful people, the autocracy of eunuchs and relatives, and the rampant aristocratic clans, this world has entered a period of great chaos and division. During this period, regimes in the north and south have been surging, with large or small territory, and long or short country destiny.

Among them, there may be a general system, law, civilization and inheritance route, but the administrative division is undoubtedly a mess.

Even in the Great Zhou and the Great Wei tried several corrections, but they did not call them back.

For example, at present, some provincial governing states are large like Dengzhou, which are composed of three traditional medium-sized counties, such as Youzhou, which is even more terrifying. Large counties like Hejian and Bohai are also a bit scary, while some prefectures, such as those on the north side of Yanshan and the south side of the Demonic Desert, are only too small.

The world is known as four hundred prefectures and counties, and the Great Wei occupied three hundred. It was not a blow, but this phenomenon does occur.

Back to the present, compared with the Dongjie county except Dengzhou, the scale is moderate and the historical origin is long. At present, the Bohai Sea, Hejian, Xindu and other prefectures and counties have actually been eliminated. Facing the administrative boundaries of Dongqi that are like the "Fifty Prefectures of the East Yi", the forced retro combination does not match the actual situation.

"The main reason is that the Bohai Sea is too big." Cui Suchen said with great difficulty. "Civil Affairs documents and administrative regulations are often slow to reply, which is one level worse than the several prefectures and counties in the eastern border. There is really no need to stay so big."

Zhang Xing nodded and understood.

This is definitely not just a big problem with Bohai itself, but also the level of the prefect Zheng Ting. As the first group of civil servants when he established the gang, this guy was able to be squeezed into the end of the prefect among everyone, which is a problem. Cui Suchen was always unwilling to get involved in these things. It is even more problematic that Chen Bin could pull him out.

"How to divide the Bohai Sea? Do you have to divide it into two?" Zhang Xing couldn't help but be curious when he thought of this.

"That won't be." Chen Bin said seriously. "Our rough plan is to merge several counties south of the Mabang River in Bohai with the northern part of Dengzhou, plus one county in Qi County into one state... This place is actually the mouth of the river. Even the people here are mostly cross-strait exchanges, with similar cultural customs, and few differences between the north and the south."

Zhang Xing nodded repeatedly. This is a good plan, and the area is suitable.

"Is this the only preparation?" Zhang Xing continued to ask. "If you divide a county, you can calm people's hearts."

"There is another meaning, Cui is in charge of the company. He said that he always takes care of documents, but in fact he is in charge of multiple jobs. It's fine. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Justice, these two items should always be separated. If you have special skills, you should lead one out and give it to others for specialization."

Zhang Xing nodded, there was nothing to say.

In fact, it’s fine. The so-called progress of the bureaucracy is nothing more than professionalization and officialism. As long as you go in this direction, it’s fine. Besides, this is not a reform, because the Wei Dynasty has already had the prototype of three provinces and six ministries, and there is also an excessive attempt to go to the military recruitment system. The gang itself was imitating this at the beginning... It’s just that the territory is small and military affairs are given priority, so there is no need to put out some things too early.

Now that it is put on, no one will find it strange.

"In terms of military preparation, one level is added; one county is added to local administration; one civilian management here is added to the management of the Taiwan Strait..." Zhang Xing calculated. "It's not that it is not possible. It should be a little comforting to the hearts of the people inside. In fact, I think there is no need to limit the management. As long as it is professional and useful, it can be set up. For example, one of our big problems is corvee service, because it needs to be maintained by military, civilians and local water conservancy, and this can also be independent... However, if you don't talk about this for the time being, this civilian management and this prefect, are there anyone who chooses?"

Dou Lide, who had not spoken, suddenly realized that this was the reason why these people were attacking suddenly. The matter itself was fine, especially because it was given by Cui Suchen, who was even more amazing.

But the problem is that these people, whether they are the initiators of the matter or the so-called insiders, can always obtain this subsequent and let it go.

This is the key.

But Dou Lide had no choice, or even couldn't interrupt, not only because of Chen Bin's sudden attack, but also because he had no one in Dou Lide and there was no leader of this level and qualification in his small circle to get to the top.

This is a conspiracy.

"If the civilian department is in charge, there are quite a few county magistrates who have done a good job, or simply ask the other county magistrates if they are willing to come..." Chen Bin blurted out. "It's okay, including a few local officials who returned home."

A person flashed through Zhang Xing's mind and nodded immediately: "I asked someone first. If he disagreed, then choose someone according to this idea...whether the governor of Xinjun?"

"How about Cheng Dalang?" Chen Bin's picture was exhausted.

Zhang Xing immediately laughed - these people saw that he had a bad face these days, and probably asked about some possibility from guessing or from Yan Qing, so they were waiting here.

Dou Lide suddenly realized this moment, but also took a step forward and expressed his support: "I think Cheng Dalang is quite suitable. He is a mature person and is good at civil and government affairs... but the chief thinks he is not good at serving as the county magistrate in his family. So what if he wants him to exchange it with Pingyuan or Jibei?"

Zhang Xing looked back at Dou Lide, who had just inspected the Niuma Camp with him. There was a loss of livestock manure and the forage was damp due to rain. When it came to this kind of information, Chen Bin and others did not understand its importance, but they basically would not go to inspect it in person. However, Dou Lide and his wife could go to the dung pile with them to watch.

However, even such a hard-working person who dares to sink into the bottom of the sect, he also has his own selfishness.

Even Dou Lide is almost the one who is the most selfish or the one who is not good at hiding the cover up.

This guy just now didn't speak because he couldn't reach those two positions. Now he talked because once Cheng Dalang took office, Cheng Dalang's camp will be empty, and there will be a leader who can be promoted to the leader and some people who can be promoted to the leader and the troops. His small team can eat a bite here.

Who can I hide this thought from?

However, he was not prepared to have some rebellious mentality because of this, because these people are doing things, and are considering selfishness while doing serious things. Compared with this, Cheng Dalang's behavior has become increasingly dissatisfied with Chief Zhang.

Zhang Xing didn't believe that a person like Cheng Zhili would not notice his dissatisfaction. He had encouraged everyone to congratulate him before, and then when Cheng Zhili really got married, he had neither gift nor came to visit him.

As a result, until now, no other party has made any active statements.
