More than half a month later, Yizhou Prefecture.
At this time, Xiao Yuan had already returned and was sorting out books in the study. Shangguan Wenruo was naturally assisting him.
Those books are all the files of officials at all levels in Shu, ranging from state capitals and county guards to county magistrates and officials. There are so many bamboo slips that Xiao Yuan is very busy.
To be honest, this was all thanks to Shangguan Wenruo, otherwise, he might explode.
But if he wants to govern Shu, he must review all these materials, and waiting for him later are more official documents from Shu and past political and policy issues.
This busy work lasted another whole day. With Shangguan Wenruo's dedicated help, Xiao Yuan classified these official records, especially important positions such as county guards, and he knew it well.
After putting down a roll of bamboo slips again and rubbing his forehead, Xiao Yuan suddenly said: "No, I have to establish a staff department."
This was his reference to the three provinces and six ministries system in his previous life. Under the feudal dynasty, this was a very complete system that could effectively divide the power of the ministers and strengthen centralization. It was very necessary to exist.
At that time, there was no such department. Under the monarch, almost all the prime ministers had the final say. Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wenruo was confused and asked: "Personnel department?"
Xiao Yuan is not the king yet. He has just been busy for too many days and just mentioned it casually. Seeing that Shangguan Wenru was confused, he didn't bother to explain it now, so he said: "Let's talk about this later. Let's discuss the issue of officials in Shu first." ."
Mentioning this matter, Shangguan Wenruo said: "My subordinates still believe that it is best not to disturb Shu officials now. After Shu is completely stabilized, we will look at the performance next year and either dismiss him or investigate him. By then, there will be no problem. "
Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said: "Okay, I accept this suggestion, but with a slight change."
"What my lord means"
Xiao Yuan said directly: "Replace the county guards from various places and the Shu army officers. In addition, establish the Wuwei Mansion as soon as possible."
"Well, my lord, this strategy is feasible." Shangguan Wenruo nodded first, and then asked: "However, my lord has never made a clear position regarding the Wuwei Mansion. We should take advantage of this moment to bring the superiors of the Wuwei Mansion and The official issue has been finalized.”
This is a big problem. The current Wuwei Mansion is present in every county in Qin. However, the county magistrate and Wuwei Mansion do not have a clear position. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible.
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but stood up and took a few steps back and forth. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, you are right. In this case, taking the county as an example, the county magistrate is still the highest official of a county. He is responsible for people's livelihood and politics, and decides life and death. The decision is still made by the county magistrate. For example, if a murder occurs and the people complain to the officials, the county magistrate can order Wuwei Mansion to pursue the murderer. The county magistrate has the right to directly mobilize Wuwei Mansion, but the appointment of personnel within Wuwei Mansion is not left to the county. Let’s decide.”
In this way, although the county magistrate is an official of the county-level Wuwei Mansion, he cannot dismiss his officers. The appointment of his officers is also decided by Xiao Yuan, which is reported to the general government. This will play a certain role in checking and balancing. Although the county magistrate is the largest , but they dare not bend the law for personal gain.
Regarding his decision, Shangguan Wenruo thought about it for a while, then handed it over and said: "This is a good strategy, my lord is wise."
"Okay, let's talk about the issue of Shu land decrees."
Xiao Yuan added: "Before the land of Shu, under the rule of Huang Songyuan, the people were taxed heavily and business travel was sluggish. Although Sichuan and Shu were a land of abundance, with thousands of miles of fertile fields and abundant products, they were not rich. The world-famous Shu brocade was in the hands of Huang Songyuan. It’s even more of a waste of natural resources, and we have to deal with all of this.”
"In terms of business, we focus on Shu brocade and make this strategy the primary goal of revitalization. In terms of agriculture, we dredge water conservancy, control floods, and encourage farming. In terms of agriculture, we order county magistrates to go to the countryside in person, inspect the people's conditions, and then organize official documents. Report to the state capital.”
"As for other government orders, they will all be implemented in accordance with the existing government orders in Qin and will be promulgated immediately. Anyone in any county who changes the government orders privately will be executed without mercy."
"Especially the law, it must be strict! Those who killed someone with a knife in anger must not do it again!"
"In addition, our administrative regions need to be re-divided, and counties and counties need to be unified. The division of counties and counties in Qin is currently unclear and needs to be re-drawn. Of course, this is a big issue and needs to be carefully considered."
Xiao Yuan said a lot in one breath, and Shangguan Wenruo recorded them all.
Immediately after this meeting, a series of government decrees in Shu were promulgated. Xiao Yuan urgently summoned Lian Xiao and ordered him to recruit soldiers from the Shu army to establish the Wuwei Mansion.
The latter took the order and left. He saw all the policies Xiao Yuan initiated after his lordship, and became even more convinced that he was not with the wrong person.
Under the supreme command, the land of Shu, like the land of Qin, underwent earth-shaking changes.
A certain county in Yong'an.
An official was bringing more than a dozen guards to a mountain village, where he was the county magistrate.
Xiao Yuan gave the highest order to all counties to inspect and report the situation. The county magistrate had no choice but to go to the countryside. However, he looked impatient and kept complaining: "I am a proud parent in this county. How noble is my status?" ! It’s totally unreasonable to go to such a remote place and talk about being considerate of the people’s sentiments!”
"Oh my lord, this is an order from the state government, I have to obey it." The county master Bo said beside him.
"Hmph! After Xiao Yuan took charge of Shu, he didn't mention promoting the official positions of us officials. Instead, he thought of these Guizhou people first. It's really ridiculous."
The county magistrate continued to chatter, but at the same time he seemed to have remembered something, and asked Lord Bo: "By the way, what is the population of our county?"
He is a county magistrate, and he probably doesn't even know the population of the area he governs. You can imagine what kind of parent official he is.
And he complained a lot about going to the countryside. Xiao Yuan has not touched these officials now, but after the stability of Shu, next year, there is no need to say more about the fate of officials like him.
Longyou County.
Since Zhang Jingrui took office, he has been studying water conservancy issues without any instructions from the state government. He has gone to the countryside countless times.
At this time, Zhang Jingrui's eyes lit up when he received the political orders from Xiao Yuan, and the last thought of rejecting Xiao Yuan in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He is a good official, so he naturally hopes for great rule in Shu. These actions of Xiao Yuan undoubtedly cheered him up.
At this time, I am afraid that in his heart, he has completely identified with the lord Xiao Yuan.
After reading the instructions from the state government, Zhang Jingrui rolled his eyes, then picked up his writing brush and immediately wrote a letter to Xiao Yuan.
This petition was nothing else. Zhang Jingrui directly asked Xiao Yuan for money, and the reasons were sufficient. They were all related to the construction of Longyou water conservancy and people's livelihood issues.
After Xiao Yuan received this letter from him, he couldn't help being angry.
"This Zhang Jingrui!"
He shook his head and muttered, but despite this, he finally gave the instructions.
He absolutely supports people's livelihood issues. There is nothing to say about this.
At this time, he had been staying in Shu for a long time and was about to return to Qinzhou.
