"Go and call Director Xie, Officer Wang from the Cavalry Battalion, the two chief officers from the Artillery Battalion, and the Lei Craftsman from the workshop. Then take the things off the table and replace them with tea."
Since we are setting new rules, everyone must participate. In addition to the military and bureaucrats present, civil affairs and workshops will also be present.
It is a pity that the Liaodong Navy is still in North Korea and Wu Aheng cannot come.
Liu Zhaosun was quite willing to have a good chat about the Kaiyuan Ocean Strategy and the short-sighted subordinates in front of him.
In the past two years, Kaiyuan's power has expanded rapidly, from a mere city in the beginning to more than half of Liaodong, and even began to penetrate Shandong. As the territory and interests continued to expand, the first group of subordinates also began to have their own team.
When a team does not have an efficient organizational structure, people will organize it in a way that they think is reasonable.
To put it simply, it is nepotism.
When a chief official has his own team, a new interest group will be formed with him as the center. This small interest group is exclusive and self-interested.
When Kaiyuan's business is going smoothly, everyone can still work hard in one place. Once there is a disturbance, as happened in Hetuala not long ago, when small interest groups conflict with the team's interests, the entire team may be in danger of falling apart. .
As representatives of small interest groups, even if the chief officials do not fight for power and profit, those below will encourage them to fight for it.
Just like Kang Yingqian could encourage Liu Zhaosun to enter the Pass and proclaim himself emperor, Kang Yingqian's lieutenants could also encourage Lao Kang to squeeze out Sun Chuanting and dominate the Kaiyuan family.
The table of exquisite dishes in front of them is all the benefits of the Kaiyuan system, but some people have too much appetite and are beginning to be dissatisfied, thinking of dividing the cake again.
"Am I too lenient to them?"
Liu Zhaosun put his hands on his cheeks and felt slightly dizzy. The scene of Ming Taizu killing the heroes appeared in his mind.
Subconsciously, Liu Zhaosun was still the kind and honest person in the company from his previous life.
Looking back now, I realized that the people I faced were all the best among the best. Except for new scholars like Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chuanting, none of them had been in officialdom for more than ten years, killing people without being seen.
After all, I was still too naive. From the beginning, I treated these old fritters with all my heart, but now I have fallen into such a passive position.
In any case, since the old relationship of king, king and minister cannot be maintained, a new organizational structure is needed to replace it.
Since the tolerance and self-discipline of the past cannot solve the evil of human nature, it can only be replaced by iron-bloodedness and terror.
In a pre-industrial era when the literacy rate was no more than one percent and the sense of national identity at the bottom of society was zero, economic reforms that seemed like a big pie could be achieved by relying on a few slogans and a few pie-in-the-sky economic reforms to awaken national consciousness in just a few years. Entering into constitutional monarchy, parliamentary democracy or any kind of nationalism is undoubtedly a fantasy.
Liu Zhaosun thought for a while, took out the charcoal notepad from his arms, turned to a blank page, and wrote seriously on the notepad:
"Everything is based on reality."
It is very necessary for an inspection agency like Jinyi Weidong Factory to exist, and it cannot be as tolerant to these subordinates as before.
At this moment, he missed Shen Lian very much. He didn't know whether this brother was dead or alive, or how he was doing.
Zhang Chao hurried out and looked at Ping Liaohou worriedly before leaving.
The Chinese guards came up and removed the dishes from the table and served tea to the superior officers.
The tea was steaming, and eight guards stood around the table holding Yanling knives.
Liu Zhaosun put away his notepad and looked up at everyone. His subordinates had different expressions.
Qiao Yiqi shook his head and sighed, looking at Kang Yingqian reproachfully. Lao Kang turned his head away as if he was a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
Yuan Chonghuan looked blankly at the tea in his hand, his fingers kept opening and closing the lid of the tea cup, his expression seemed a little dull.
Deng Changxiong was in a daze, secretly looking at Marquis Pingliao from the corner of his eye. Although the massacre of the city of Hetuala was ordered by Sun Chuanting, it was Deng Changxiong and his No. 2000 Headquarters who ultimately executed it.
Afterwards, both Kang Yingqian and Sun Chuanting's adjutants came to Deng Changxiong and told him some ambiguous words, to the effect that Deng Qianzong should not worry. If Pingliao Hou holds the responsibility, they will bear it.
When things got to this point, no matter how stupid Deng Changxiong was, he knew that it was the civil servants who were forming cliques and wanted to win over him.
After the war in Hetuala, Marquis Pingliao never mentioned this matter, which made Deng Changxiong even more panicked.
This fierce general who was born as a servant only wanted to fight in peace and contentment under the command of Marquis Ping Liao, but he did not expect to be inexplicably involved in the power struggle between civil servants.
Sen Ti and Wang Erhu, who were sitting next to them, both had blazing eyes. If Liu Zhaosun hadn't been there, they would have jumped up and hit someone.
Song Yingxing and Ma Shiying rubbed their little hands from time to time, and they could feel their uncontrollable excitement without speaking.
Mao Yuanyi and Xu Xiake looked like they had nothing to do with anything, especially Xu Xiake. He had just returned from the North Korean mine a few days ago. At this moment, he was not affected by the people around him at all. He was writing and drawing on the table with his fingers dipped in hot tea. What to draw.
Finally, Liu Zhaosun's eyes fell on Sun Chuanting in the corner.
When Sun Chuanting saw Marquis Ping Liao looking at him, he quickly averted his eyes and looked a little uneasy. It could be seen that he was still worried about the massacre of the city in Hetuala.
This man has a history of being willful and angry.
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, because he was dissatisfied with Zhu Youjian, Sun Chuan said in court that he was deaf and deaf, so he was dismissed from the post of governor. Bing thanked the emperor for demoting him to one level to avoid his crime and meritorious service. (Note 1)
Liu Zhaosun knew somewhat about this important minister of the late Ming Dynasty. He had heard about Sun Chuanting's stubborn temper and thought to himself:
"If you work hard, you may become a great talent."
At this time, several civil affairs officials and workshop leaders arrived one after another. As soon as the chief officials entered the door, they noticed the tense atmosphere in the room and all found a corner to sit down.
When Liu Zhaosun saw everyone sitting down, he looked around, stood up, tapped the table with his fingers, and said:
"Okay, everyone is here. I won't talk nonsense. I want you to come here today to tell you my vision for Kaiyuan's future. Of course, there are also Kaiyuan's new rules. Before that, please let me know. General Deng Qian and Director Xie will report on the current military and civil affairs situation in Kaiyuan."
There were tuts in the room, and they all looked up and turned to Deng Changxiong, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Deng Changxiong stood up quickly, but his face was confused. He had no preparation at all and stood there awkwardly.
Liu Zhaosun's eyes were soft and he encouraged:
"Mr. Deng Qian, let's talk about Kaiyuan's current military strength, the area we occupy, and the strength of the imperial court and Liao Town. I see that you are familiar with military affairs, so I should have paid attention to this."
"ah?"
Only then did Deng Changxiong come to his senses, hesitated, and looked at Marquis Pingliao with a troubled expression.
"Why are you nervous? You are not afraid of fighting but are you afraid of talking?" After Liu Zhaosun said this, he turned back and pointed at the crowd, and said meaningfully to Deng Changxiong:
"Mr. Deng Qian, what you don't know is that you adults can only see a corner of your eyes on weekdays. Very few people can understand the overall situation. It's rare that everyone is together today, so you can tell them the overall situation of Kaiyuan's military affairs. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. I The official won’t blame me.”
Deng Changxiong had a burst of cold sweat on his forehead. Hearing Ping Liaohou's words, he clearly had some bad luck.
He looked up suddenly and found that everyone in the room was staring at him, and Kang Yingqian seemed to be still winking.
Deng Changxiong ignored the man and said bravely:
"Since this is the order of the Marquis of Ping Liao, my colleagues, then the general has made a fool of himself. If there is anything wrong, please..."
Liu Zhaosun waved his hand and interrupted:
"After all, he is the first general under my command. Don't be like this, mother-in-law. I, the Kaiyuan soldiers, must move forward courageously. Don't say that we don't have these!"
Deng Changxiong took a breath and said quickly:
"yes!"
"As of the end of this year, after the Jiannu were wiped out, there were six thousand headquarters and one naval battalion in Kaiyuan, with a total of 28,000 wounded soldiers, half of which were fire soldiers, and 5,000 pike soldiers. The rest are all types of soldiers such as sword and shield soldiers and soldiers. There are also two artillery units of the flag corps and the water camp of North Korea's Pidao, totaling 1,600 people."
Note:
