November has just entered, and the weather is getting colder. The army led by Wang Can returned from the front line to Kaiyang County of Langya Kingdom. Returning to Kaiyang County again, the entire Kaiyang County was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Previously, Cao Bao rebelled and robbed the food sent by the Mi family. Now Wang Can killed Cao Bao and destroyed Xiapi's military strength. Next, the Mi family took action against the Cao family.
The entire Cao family will be wiped out soon.
When Wang Can returned, he had already rebuilt the Governor's Mansion in Kaiyang County.
This is a large house in the city.
The house was rebuilt by Mi Zhu himself. The decoration was grand and simple, not luxurious, but grand and generous. Wang Can returned to the governor's mansion and was quite impressed when he saw everything in the governor's mansion.
Wang Can was in the governor's office, thinking about the adjustments to Xuzhou. After officials from various counties and countries arrived, he had to make adjustments to Xuzhou in order to control Xuzhou.
This is what a ruler must do, that is, he is the emperor and his ministers.
The problem is, these are troubled times.
Wang Can’s rise was too fast.
Although he is now serving as the governor of Xuzhou, which can be said to be a high-power position, in fact, there are very few talents under his command. This is an extremely serious problem. Even if Zheng Xuan and other great scholars are here to recruit countless scholars in Kaiyang County, he still has
Lack of talent.
Therefore, Wang Can must have certain strategies to adjust the entire Xuzhou county and country.
Time passes day by day.
After entering the cold winter, the weather became colder day by day. In mid-November, light snow began to fall in the sky, and the weather in Xuzhou suddenly dropped a lot.
Wang Can specially asked Mi Zhu to prepare a batch of satin and cotton-padded clothes, and then he personally took them to the academy to express condolences to some teachers in the academy, as well as Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, Zheng Xuan and others.
Wang Can's actions made everyone in the academy even more grateful.
Wang Can's inscription in the academy has already spread, and all the great scholars in the academy admire Wang Can very much.
In addition, Wang Can is young and is already the governor of a state.
All the great scholars in the academy were willing to get close to Wang Can.
After wandering around the academy, Wang Can returned to the governor's mansion. Soldiers hurriedly entered and reported: "Sir, a man came from outside the mansion. He claimed to be Chen Deng and said he came to recommend himself."
"please!"
Wang Can gave an order.
He knew Chen Deng.
This person is very talented. Not to mention the governor of a county, he is at least someone who can rule a state. However, Chen Deng was quite short-lived in history. Because Chen Deng liked to eat sashimi. Although the sashimi was fresh and tender, it was prone to illness.
Over time, Chen Deng's condition has become serious. Even if Hua Tuo takes action, it will be unable to save the day.
Not long after, Chen Deng entered the hall, bowed his hands and saluted Wang Can, and said: "Chen Deng, please pay homage to Wang Can."
Wang Can said: "Sit down!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Chen Deng cupped his hands and thanked him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Wang Can is too young.
But Wang Can gave him the feeling that he was a man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life, with the majesty of a superior person. Such a complicated feeling made Chen Deng very strange.
Wang Can said: "Yuanlong came to the governor's office and recommended himself. I don't know why Yuanlong can teach me?"
This is straight to the point.
Wang Can wanted to see what novel arguments Chen Deng could come up with.
Chen Deng said sternly: "Come down and present to the governor Wang a strategy for integrating Xuzhou."
Wang Can said: "Tell me and listen!"
The expression on Chen Deng's face was indifferent and he said calmly: "I have carefully understood the situation of Governor Wang. Both the civil servants and generals under Governor Wang are all newly recruited. They have strong roots in Xuzhou.
Very shallow. It can be said that Governor Wang's foundation is very insufficient. Even if Governor Wang invited Zheng Xuan and even established Langya Academy in Kaiyang County, his foundation is still insufficient."
"Now, Governor Wang summons people from all counties and countries, but there is one biggest problem. Even if Governor Wang wants to adjust these people, there are not so many people under Governor Wang to arrange for them to go to various counties and countries."
"If you arrange people randomly, that's fine."
"However, when I look at the way Wang Prefect governs the Langya Kingdom, he has a very systematic approach. He eliminates banditry, reduces taxes, provides farmland, and provides more care to the people, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
Chen Deng talked eloquently and continued: "If the arrangement is arbitrary, the counties and countries may be in chaos. Because the people in office are not worthy of their names and lack the ability to govern the local area, but they will cause chaos everywhere."
"This is extremely inappropriate."
"Under such a premise, the governor Wang wants to adjust the various counties and countries. As long as the person who governs the local area has not committed any major mistakes, he can be appointed."
Chen Deng said: "So my strategy is to exchange posts. For example, in Xiapi State and Donghai County, the governor of Donghai County can be transferred to Xiapi State; the governor of Xiapi State can also be transferred to Xiapi State.
Prime Minister, make arrangements to go to Donghai County."
"Theoretically, this is not feasible."
"After all, local officials are appointed by the imperial court."
"But today's imperial court doesn't care about the local situation at all. As long as the governor Wang can convince the officials, the adjustment will be easy, and the imperial court will not say anything."
Chen Deng had a confident smile on his face and said: "What's more, after Cao Bao was killed, it is expected that officials from all over the country will not dare to disobey your orders. After all, the governor monitors local areas and inspects counties and counties, which is enough to deal with officials.
"
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Wang Can laughed and said: "Heroes have the same views. What I consider is also to adjust the location of officials. Unexpectedly, Yuan Long's considerations are exactly the same as mine."
Chen Deng said: "The governor Wang is so complimentary."
Wang Can continued: "Then I'd like to ask you again, after adjusting the officials of each county and country, how to bring each county under control, otherwise it would be too confident and arrogant to think that you can control all places with just one adjustment.
Already."
Chen Dengdao: "What Governor Wang said is true. In order to truly control various places, in the final analysis, you still need to send your own people to take office. That is truly appropriate."
"Officials from various counties and countries are not actually the most critical."
"The most important thing is local officials."
"If you can win the loyalty of officials from various counties, you will truly control the place. In fact, for such an arrangement, it is best to select scholars from Langya Academy and let the scholars from the academy go to the local area to take up their posts."
Chen Deng said: "On the one hand, a county is not big, so it is not too difficult to govern a county. These academy scholars go to the county for training. On the one hand, they are loyal to the governor Wang, and on the other hand, they can increase their experience."
"With these people, within the next two to three years, Governor Wang will be able to build Xuzhou into an impregnable city."
"Of course, local county magistrates may not all be outstanding."
"Some people even do not manage well."
"So after arranging these people, Governor Wang also had to arrange his own people to monitor all parties. In fact, the postal supervisors sent by the imperial court to local areas are of little use except to extort money."
“The only way to understand a place is through your own people.”
Chen Deng said sternly: "Only by doing this, Xuzhou has a chance to reverse the situation. Otherwise, such a huge Xuzhou will still be poorly governed. Governing a place is not a matter of one day, but a long-term matter."
After Wang Can heard this, a look of approval appeared on his face.
Chen Deng is not simple.
Although he only mentioned a general policy for governance, in practical terms, Xuzhou has the opportunity to become better. Although such an arrangement will have many problems, in fact, it is impossible to govern the place without difficulties.
All of this is worth it.
Wang Can said: "What Yuan Long said is true. So, Yuan Long came to join me and recommended himself. What official position will he take?"
This is to ask Chen Deng to see what position Chen Deng wants to hold.
Chen Dengdao: "I invite you to take up the post of a special driver!"
Biejia, also known as Biejia, is an official who specializes in assisting the governor and is equivalent to the existence of a county magistrate. If the governor is absent, Biejia can handle government affairs on his behalf.
This is where Biejia's power lies.
Of course, this is not necessarily the case, it depends on whether the driver is respected.
Wang Can said with a smile: "Since Yuan Long said it, if I don't allow it, wouldn't it look like a coward? No problem, I will appoint you to work as an assistant and serve as my assistant."
"Thank you, Lord!"
After hearing this, Chen Deng showed a happy look on his face.
At this moment, Chen Deng felt that he had a chance to realize his ambition.
"Report!"
An attendant came in and reported: "Sir, the Governor of Donghai County, the Prime Minister of Pengcheng State, and the Governor of Guangling County are outside the house asking for an audience."
"coming!"
Wang Can showed a smile on his face and ordered: "Please!"
The attendant immediately went to inform, and Wang Can arranged for someone to call Zhuge Gui and Lu Fan. Zhuge Gui was the prime minister of Langya Kingdom, and Lu Fan was transferred back from the place by Wang Can.
The governor of Donghai County was named Liu Luan. He was in his early thirties and had a good relationship with Mi Zhu.
Yandu, the Prime Minister of Pengcheng Kingdom, was over forty years old and had a grayish look on his temples.
The governor of Guangling County is named Ji Kang, who is nearly forty years old.
After the three people entered, they respectfully saluted Wang Can.
Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Gui and Lu Fan also entered.
Wang Can glanced at everyone, waved his hands and said: "Everyone, please sit down."
"Thank you, sir!"
Everyone thanked him together and sat down one by one.
Wang Can took the lead in introducing Chen Deng, and after talking about Chen Deng's official position, he finally said: "The reason why I invited you here is that in view of the current situation in various places, I plan to make some adjustments."
"Please show me, sir!"
Liu Luan took the initiative to speak and seemed very calm.
Ji Kang and Yan Du also spoke immediately, but both of them were slightly uneasy because they had learned from Cao Bao's mistakes. If Wang Can wanted to kill them, even if they wanted to resist, there would be no chance for them to resist. So one by one
When I looked at Wang Can, I was worried. But I didn't know how Wang Can planned to treat them.
On the contrary, Zhuge Gui and Lu Fan are the most relaxed. After all, they are direct descendants of Wang Can. If they follow Wang Can now, they will only get benefits and cannot be punished. (To be continued)
