After the small talk, the conversation turned to business. Chen Hua said sweetly: "Lin Sima, what position will brother Guo Jia get under your command?"
Hearing this, Lin Mu was slightly startled, while Guo Jia raised his eyebrows slightly.
After a while, Lin Mu replied in a deep voice: "Our first military advisor! We lead the village and are preparing to establish one, and Fengxiao, he is the chief staff officer of our staff cabinet!"
Counselors were the shortcomings of the Great Wilderness Territory. Now that the legendary historical counselor Zhang Hong and Guo Jia, the top of the list of divine counselors, suddenly joined, their background has suddenly increased sharply. Compared with the counselors currently under Cao Cao's command, they are even worse.
The establishment of Lin Mu was an important milestone in the construction of territory and the development of military power. The establishment of this department has long been planned in Lin Mu's mind, but there has always been a lack of talented counselors.
Now with Guo Jia, even if he is the only one in this department, he can still support it! Guo Jia alone is worth a lot of counselors!
I originally thought that Zhang Hong was the first counselor to appear in the Great Wilderness Territory, but I didn't expect that Guo Jia would appear and join the Territory earlier than Zhang Hong, who had not yet pledged allegiance to the Great Wilderness Territory.
The first counselor to join the territory is actually the number one counselor on the list of divine counselors. What a coincidence!
Hearing Lin Mu's calm words, Chen Hua nodded without any trace, while an imperceptible light flashed in Guo Jiaxing's eyes.
"That's very good. Brother Guo Jia is talented and worthy of the title of chief!" Chen Hua smiled and then looked at Guo Jia with his eyes.
All the tiger generals also nodded in approval. Guo Jia, sometimes humorous, sometimes as profound and mysterious as the universe.
"Brother Guo Jia, do you have any suggestions for joining Lin Sima? Can you give them to me?" Chen Hua asked.
Hearing this, Guo Jia and Lin Mu looked at each other as if they had a tacit understanding. Lin Mu and Guo Jia both heard the meaning of Chen Hua's words.
Generally speaking, the territory's strategies, tactics, etc. are all secrets and cannot be disclosed to the outside world casually. Now, as an outsider, Chen Hua actually takes the initiative to listen to the advice, which must have deep meaning!
Lin Mu sighed in his heart. Chen Hua deserves to be from a big family. She knows how to measure the potential of a territory, and there is also a hidden consideration in it.
"Haha, I also want to hear Feng Xiao's advice." Lin Mu gently turned his head and looked at Guo Jia, expecting.
After pondering for a while, Guo Jiadao said: "In fact, Lin Sima's territory is currently developing vigorously and prosperously. Besides, these internal affairs are managed by talented people, so I won't say more for now."
Guo Jiayi pointed out that during the previous chat, Lin Mu informed Guo Jiayi of the general situation of the territory.
"I will analyze and make suggestions from two aspects: the overall situation of Guiji County and its development direction."
"First of all, it is the overall problem of Kuaiji County. Since the territory has begun to be secretly laid out, it is better to be more generous. We not only need to control it from the military aspect, but also need to combine the management of officials. A two-pronged approach can be foolproof. It is best to control the prefect, county magistrate, etc. If a higher-ranking pastoral official bribes him, he will get twice the result with half the effort."
Hearing this, Lin Mu smiled bitterly, bribed the prefect? The difficulty is too high and the cost is too high. If you don't even know the character of the new governor, how can you plan?
Chen Hua, on the other hand, just chuckled at Guo Jiazhi's words and did not refute.
"Lin Sima should know that in the current Longting of the Han Dynasty, the so-called merits are not very important. The real competition is wealth. Because the officials of Longting are greedy and corrupt, and a large number of officials follow suit, the overall situation is a kind of corruption. The smell of corruption.”
"Even if a stranger has ten thousand meritorious deeds, if he has the backing and channels to bribe high-ranking officials and ministers, he may not have a higher official position than Lin Sima, who has millions of meritorious deeds!"
"This is the political status quo and the general trend, and it will not be changed easily."
"At least, our territory has no ability to change this general trend. Therefore, given such national conditions, we also follow the trend, spend resources, fight for important official positions, accumulate political foundation, and find our backing! Then, we will concentrate on development and work hard to govern, And with the help of other general trends, we will continue to move forward and continue to grow our territory.”
"Actually, things like politics are easy to accumulate and easy to lose. Especially in times of turmoil, if you don't have matching strength, you're just a paper tiger."
"Secondly, on the basis of comprehensively appeasing the people, treat the nobles and nobles in the county well. This Lin Sima has already noticed that he enforces the orders and prohibitions and does not harass them excessively. This is a clear move." Guo Jia said solemnly.
"Lin Sima asked the soldiers to only recruit some diners to guard them as soldiers. This is completely acceptable. For the nobles and nobles, what they value more is the safety of the family and the wealth of the family."
"Honestly, I didn't think of this plan to kill two birds with one stone."
"On the surface, it gives the nobles and nobles an inexplicable sense of security. It can not only make friends with the nobles, but also recruit soldiers with extraordinary qualifications. It also brings the nobles and nobles in the county together on the same boat. Because, they By 'subsidizing' our side, we are invisibly standing on the sidelines, thus establishing a very fragile but seemingly reliable relationship. This is a good strategy."
"This measure will play a huge role in solving the problem of the gentry and wealthy families in the county in the future."
"Of course, we will also consider the issue in the future: this noble family is not mine. Those noble families that cannot be used by me must be expelled or suppressed!" Guo Jia said solemnly.
When Chen Hua heard Guo Jia's domineering words, her beautiful eyes turned and she continued to remain silent.
"The second step is to restore the vitality of the county, with light corvees and low taxes. Due to the impact of the Xu Zhao Rebellion, the situation in Kuaiji can be said to be very bad. There are many cities with ten rooms and seven empty rooms. Some are temporarily hidden in the countryside. Some of them directly transferred to other counties and left their hometowns."
"In normal times, no one would have the time to count the number of people who have moved to other counties in the county, but during this Xu Zhao Rebellion, there must be a lot of people who left Kuaiji County!"
"The people are empty, there is a lack of talents, and there will be many troubles in the future. This matter needs to be resolved early. After all, stabilizing people's hearts and developing people's livelihood is the kingly way." Guo Jia said solemnly.
Lin Mu nodded in approval.
"As for the method, as discussed before, recruit a large number of craftsmen to repair city walls, roads, water conservancy, etc., increase people's income, activate the market, and restore the prosperity of the city."
"The last point is to recruit talented people and strengthen our troops!"
"The former requires meritocracy and an open mind; while the latter ensures a foundation in troubled times!"
“By combining the two, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”
"Although these measures require the rights of a pastoral official before they can be implemented. However, there is no need to worry too much. According to past rules, the pastoral officials who come to remote counties, such as Kuaiji County, should be purchased through Officials, or through recommendation of close associates, etc."
"Officials born in this way are generally either greedy or have no great talent. When the time comes, we will use money to buy officials from them, and there should be no big problem. After that, with a little manipulation, we can eclipse their power." Guo Jia is confident. road.
Buying an official position is no longer an unfamiliar word in the official circles of Longting in the Han Dynasty. Many county magistrates, prefects, governors and other officials, covertly or overtly, have clearly marked the price for sale!
In the past, in the hands of the county magistrate of Dongyecheng, he also bought an official position.
What's even more detestable is that the top positions in the center of the Face Dragon Court have also begun to be sold, which shows how deep-rooted their lust is!
The positions of the tiger ministers of a Yun Dynasty can be used as commodities. This Yun Dynasty is really not far from destruction!
"Of course, these are all my humble opinions. There must be many loopholes. We can discuss it later." Guo Jia added, with a hint of humility on his face.
…
After that, Guo Jia continued to propose some effective measures to everyone, which made everyone's eyes brighten. Guo Jia is also good at government affairs management.
"After settling the issue of Kuaiji County, let's talk about territorial development and external expansion." Guo Jia said in a deep voice with the index and middle fingers of his right hand tapping the stone table rhythmically.
"Nowadays, under the overall peaceful environment of China, the development of the territory has not made much progress on the land. Our eyes should turn to the vast sea! According to rumors, there are countless treasures in the vast ocean. Countless islands are dotted all over the place." Guo Jiadao.
"Actually, Lin Sima should have already prepared for maritime matters!" Guo Jia looked at Lin Mudao with a smile on his face.
"Fengxiao is like a god. Indeed, our territory has already started in the maritime field, but it just lacks the key pillars. The recent additions of Youping and Gongyi have greatly enhanced the naval foundation of our territory. In addition, There is no problem in starting a glorious journey for the mysterious thing that sits in our territory!" Lin Mu said with a smile.
To the mysterious thing, Guo Jia and Chen Hua
The maritime construction of the Great Wilderness Territory had already begun when Lu Hao was acquired and the Xuan-level Luban battleship could be produced. Coupled with the two god-level ships, there is no big problem in going out to sea.
"Originally, we expected that Xu Zhao would not start a rebellion so early. At that time, we had the idea of expanding to the ocean."
Hearing this, Chen Hua took her eyes away from Guo Jia, took a deep look at Lin Mu, and said, "Lin Sima's territory has a very deep background, and he has the ability to expand into the extremely dangerous ocean. sharp!"
"Miss Chen is ridiculous. The expansion of our territory to the ocean has only entered the offshore waters. In terms of maritime affairs, we are just a fledgling leader." Lin Mu said solemnly.
Nowadays, the naval forces in the Great Wilderness Territory are indeed just beginning their journey to conquer the sea.
Afterwards, Lin Mu revealed some maritime information. Some important trump cards, such as the god-level battleships and the Mingli sailor camp, were not revealed.
Everyone began to discuss heatedly about expanding to the ocean.
