Liu Bei, who was far away in Liangzhou, was naturally not idle during this period.
After a period of laying, the restoration and construction of the entire Liangzhou has been fully launched.
In order to make the government he led more adaptable to the development of the entire Liangzhou, Liu Bei launched a round of reorganization of the entire bureaucracy that he directly controlled in Liangzhou while retaining the name of the state pastoral office.
He imitated the increasingly professional professional bureaucracy of later dynasties and made a new plan for many employees whose current responsibilities were not clearly assigned.
He set up the administrative department, civil affairs department, military service department, finance department, warehousing department, law department, talent selection department, literature department, craftsmanship department, and animal husbandry department in the Liangzhou Prefectural Mufu. Engaged in the ten major departments of the company.
The original state government system only retained the state clerk and the state register, who served as his full-time deputy.
These ten major departments are responsible for a series of affairs that need to be handled by the state pastoral office. The director is the head of the department, the secretary is the deputy of the department, and there are many staff responsible for specific duties below.
After a period of work and inspection, Liu Bei almost understood the ability of his subordinates, and allocated them in the new layout of the Prefecture and Mufu.
Yan Zhong is still in charge of Zhou Biejia, which is equivalent to Zhou Mu's deputy.
Han Hao originally held the position of Prefectural Registrar, but now the position of Prefectural Registrar is taken up by Liu Bei's close friend Qian Zhao, who is equivalent to the senior counselor and chief secretary of the Prefectural Shepherd.
In addition, in order to show his importance, Yan Zhong was appointed by Liu Bei to join the army and work in the department.
In addition to being Biejia's deputy to Zhou Mu, Yan Zhong also has the responsibility of assisting Liu Bei in consulting military aircraft, which can be regarded as the role of chief of staff.
Han Hao was appointed by Liu Bei to be in charge of the Civil Affairs Department because of his outstanding administrative skills. Liu Bei admired Han Hao for his ability to handle specific affairs and his strict and upright character.
In addition, Jian Yong, who was the first to follow Liu Bei, was still in charge of personnel work as always. He was responsible for the administrative affairs department and was responsible for the selection and promotion of talents. This meant that Liu Bei still firmly controlled the power of personnel work.
It is the responsibility of selecting talents to work in the department or to select talents to work in Guoyuan. This is actually a supervisory agency. Guoyuan, who has a square personality and a strong sense of principle, is the best candidate.
The Finance Department is still in charge of Zhen Yan, the Warehousing Department is in charge of Yin Da, and the Literary Department is still in charge of Ruan Yu. They are all political veterans who first followed Liu Bei, and they are the most trusted by Liu Bei. .
Liu Bei appointed Yan Wen, a native of Liangzhou and the first to accept his call, to be in charge of the legal affairs department, and the position of being in charge of the craftsmanship department was given to Sun Qian.
In addition, Xun Yu, who attracted Liu Bei's attention, showed good ability in doing things during this period of time, which made Liu Bei confirm that Xun Yu was really talented, so he gained Liu Bei's appreciation.
However, because his qualifications were still relatively low, he was appointed as the assistant secretary of the Civil Affairs Department and served as Han Hao's deputy.
Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, who also attracted Liu Bei's attention, were appointed by Liu Bei as the assistant secretary of the Army Engagement Department because of their mature and practical ability and some military talents. He became Yan Zhong's deputy.
As for the person in charge of the Animal Husbandry Department, because it involves raising horses, Liu Bei still has to think about it a little bit.
This is the civil service system of the state pastorate.
In addition, there is a military service system directly under the state pastoral office.
Previously, Liu Bei had arranged some military positions for his generals in the governor's office. These positions were not permanent in the system. They mainly depended on the individual needs of the governor. If there were too many demands, it didn't matter if he created a few himself.
But this is a name, a very important name. With this name, the military personnel under his command can legitimately command the army.
Under normal procedures, Liu Bei was able to command the troops not because of his status as General Zuo, but because of his status and authority as a state pastor. He led the troops to fight in Liangzhou as a Liangzhou pastor.
This also means that Liu Bei's military power can only be exercised within the scope of Liangzhou. Beyond the scope of Liangzhou, his military power does not exist.
Unless the imperial court appoints him to go out on an expedition as General Zuo, then Liu Bei can legitimately exercise military power away from Liangzhou.
Now his status as General Zuo has not yet been activated, so everything must be done as Liangzhou Mu. The military personnel under his command must also rely on their military status to properly command the army directly under the State Mufu. .
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dong Huang, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were nothing more than this.
Therefore, Liu Bei also made new arrangements for the military service system of the Prefectural Mufu. He set up a dedicated military management department and expanded the original Bingcao Department into the Bingcao Department. He also held the position of Bingcao himself and appointed many military personnel downwards.
Wu Yong was in charge of Guan Yu, Wu Meng was in charge of Zhang Fei, Wu Gang was in charge of Dong Huang, Wu Sheng was in charge of Xiahou Dun, and Wu Ding was in charge of Xiahou Yuan.
However, they all now have the responsibility of county guards and need to go out to manage a county and cannot always follow Liu Bei. So after them, Liu Bei appointed new military positions.
For example, his close subordinates Liu Yong and Liu Sheng were appointed as Wu'an and Wujie officers respectively.
There was also Pang De, a local general in Liangzhou who was recommended by Gai Xun to enter the Prefectural Mufu to serve Liu Bei, and was appointed by Liu Bei to work in Wuping.
Xu Huang, a minor official in Hedong County who had volunteered to join the army earlier and entered Guan Yu's command, had distinguished himself in previous battles and had made meritorious deeds. Guan Yu commended him for his merits. Liu Bei then transferred him back and appointed him as Wu Rui.
Nine military officers and Liu Bei himself basically formed the highest command system of the Liangzhou Army.
In addition to the army directly under the jurisdiction of the Prefectural Mufu, the governors of the counties in Liangzhou also have armed command authority.
For example, after Guan Yu and other five people served as county guards, according to the powers of the county guards, they could command one thousand to three thousand county soldiers to engage in armed activities.
The command power of these county soldiers who did not have the status of county soldiers was the institutional power of county guards, and it was also an institutional remnant of the military status of county guards in the early Han Empire.
On Liu Bei's side, Liu Bei directly stipulated that the number of soldiers in the county be fixed at one thousand, which can be less but not more, and they are mainly responsible for the security and security of the county.
Moreover, Liu Bei also stipulated that except for emergency military situations, officials below the prefect of each county are not allowed to use county soldiers to handle personal chores. County soldiers are public weapons and cannot be used privately.
The main reason why Liu Bei did this was that the counties in Liangzhou lacked population, and most of the manpower and material resources should be used for agricultural and industrial production instead of meeting the personal needs of officials, so as to fix the political status and number of soldiers in the counties.
As a result, the power of commanding the armed forces possessed by the prefects of each county was restricted, and the prefects were unable to use their authority to obtain more armed forces.
However, the military leadership power held by the military officers of the Prefectural Mufu became the main military power, and it completely overshadowed the status of the county magistrate himself.
In this process, the power of the county government became relatively weaker, while the authority of the state and pastoral government became more prominent.
Originally, Zhou Mu was the legitimate ruler of a state and the superior of the prefect. As the so-called high official level suppresses people, it is normal for the prefect to be afraid of Zhou Mu.
However, in terms of rules, the prefect is also a serious "lord of the government", controlling the military and political power of an important county. The scope of authority of the two parties conflicts.
After a series of operations, Liu Bei gradually restricted the power of the prefect and highlighted his absolute power as a state pastor to achieve centralization of power within Liangzhou.
The trend of centralization of power in the Prefectural Mufu has already appeared in Liangzhou, and the process is proceeding extremely fast.
