"Let's not talk about them for now. I called these two gentlemen here this time because I want to discuss how to manage the newly conquered territory."
Wang Jing came to his senses. Anyway, he maintained his strong personal strength and still had an army at hand.
Those wealthy families could only obey and act according to his rules.
Their children either joined the army or became officials.
From another perspective, they are gradually integrating into the Huai Army, which is a good thing, and there is no need to think so much.
With that said, Wang Jing spread out the map on the table.
This map is made by combining the topographic maps of Sihong and Wu Jun. In addition to the terrain around Sihong, it also includes a large area east of the canal.
The map reaches Suining in the north, and further north are the soldiers and horses of Nan Yan. According to the intelligence, Nan Yan is fighting around Pizhou with some forces, including Chimei, Tao Qian's army, and the remnants of Lu Bu...
To the west of the map is Xihe City, and further west is Lingbi occupied by Xiang Jiajun.
The south side is divided into left and right wings, one corner is Wuhe, guarding Deng Qiang and Yingbu, and the other corner is Shanyang.
Suining, Xihe, Wuhe, and Shanyang are four places that must be under military control.
In addition to these four places, there are large areas of territory east of the canal, such as Siyang, Gucheng, and Shuyang. The furthest they can reach is Shuyang, and the large land further east cannot be completely controlled by the Huai Army's current situation.
"If you want to govern a territory, you must first assign officials!"
Chen Yi looked at the map and said: "I suggest that the prefectures and counties should be divided first. For example, Suining can be promoted to Suining Prefecture, and Wuhe can be promoted to Wuhe Prefecture... To the east of the canal, Qinghe Prefecture, Shanyang Prefecture, and Shuyang Prefecture can be set up. Mansion!"
"Each prefecture has five to nine counties!"
According to Shen Yi's classification.
The territory occupied by Wang Jing at this time can be divided into seven prefectures, namely Suining, Wuhe, Sihong, Qinghe, Shanyang, Shuyang, and Siyang.
Among them, Sihong governs Wanshou, Baize, Quy Nhon, Taoyuan and other counties. This is also the most complete move developed by Huaijun.
Most of the other prefectures and counties are still in the planning stage.
But as Shen Yi said, if you want to govern, you must first divide the prefectures and counties, then dispatch officials, mobilize the people, reclaim the land, and build health stations.
"There are seven prefectures, in addition to Sihong, there are six more. Among them, Zhu Wu is temporarily the prefect of Qinghe, and there are still five vacancies..."
"This is still a magistrate-level official. If it is as detailed as the county magistrate, six cao and township chief inspections, more talents will be needed!"
Wang Jing rubbed his brows with a headache.
Shen Yi said: "I have told the king before that we can first let those soldiers who have served and retired due to injuries serve as security guards, armor commanders and patrol officers. After filling in these people, only county magistrates and six-year-old soldiers will be considered. Just fill in the vacancies of Cao and the prefect!”
They were talking about political affairs. Although Bu Zhi was also proficient in civil affairs, he did not interrupt rashly.
"Well, my principle is that no reward will be given without merit. Only officials who have made meritorious service and have been trained at the grassroots level can be promoted... But this is the rule of the time of peace."
"In today's world of great strife, if adhering to this rule leads to a shortage of talents, it will be a waste of food because of choking!"
Wang Jing said.
His original idea was very good, and was close to the modern civil service system of the original world. After passing the examination and becoming an official, he would first work as a junior official at the grassroots level, and then be promoted according to ability.
With experience at the grassroots level, it is difficult to find any nerds who are indifferent to all aspects of work.
only.
This rule works well in normal times, but now that the princes are competing for hegemony, it is a bit inappropriate. Needs slight modification.
"In urgent matters, let's let the talents who come from the Talent Recruitment Office take over first. Well, those junior officials who have shown their ability at the grassroots level should also be promoted as much as possible and serve as the sixth Cao Cao in the county..."
Wang Jing said helplessly.
Chen Yi said quickly: "Your Majesty, I see that there are two talented people in the Talent Recruitment Hall now, who are suitable to assist Your Majesty in governing the people!"
"Oh? Who are they?"
"The first is Xu Xuan who defected not long ago. He was once a member of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was promoted to the official minister. Now he has settled in Han Shilang's house. The king might as well let him enter the center and let Tian Liangyun be decentralized and serve as a prefect. Practice some more!”
Wang Jing had never heard of Xu Xuan's name.
However, Shen Yi quickly gave a brief summary of Xu Xuan's historical experience. This person was often in the central government, so it was not appropriate for him to be the prefect.
So Chen Yi thought about letting Xu Xuan enter the center as a civil servant, temporarily replacing Tian Liangyun's work, and replacing Tian Liangyun who was hardworking and conscientious.
"Tian Liangyun is the prefect... This is a good idea. By the way, there are also Yang Hong and Yan Xiang! Let them temporarily serve as the prefects of Wuhe and Suining."
"If you do well, you will be promoted to a regular employee; if you are unqualified, you will be directly demoted!"
"In addition, appoint Qiao Xuan as the prefect of Sihong!"
Wang Jing's mind turned and he soon had five candidates to serve as prefects.
"Where is the other talented person? What is his identity?"
Wang Jing continued to ask.
Chen Yi said: "Another wise man is Uncle Zhongqin and Right Prime Minister Wang Guangyang who assisted Ming Taizu in founding the country!"
When Wang Guangyang's name was mentioned, Shen Yi looked obviously excited.
Among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, the most famous civil servants are Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and Zhu Sheng who proposed the nine-character mantra of "Build a Wall High". Wang Guangyang is not too famous.
However, in the eyes of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, especially orthodox imperial examination scholars like Shen Yi, Wang Guangyang's political ability was second only to Li Shanchang, and he really had the talent of a prime minister.
"Wang Guangyang?"
Wang Jing's expression changed slightly. Not long ago, Hu Weiyong took the initiative to join him, and now Wang Guangyang is here too.
He felt that he had poached many of the people who started his career from Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
Maybe more heroes from the early Ming Dynasty will come to join him in the future.
"He is indeed a talented person. Send someone to invite him immediately..."
Wang Jing immediately ordered.
According to the information given by Shen Yi, Wang Guangyang has a solemn, steady, tolerant and self-respecting personality, and is not a person who forms cliques for personal gain.
He has a style of doing things according to his position.
Historically, Wang Guangyang's no-fight, no-grab style aroused Yang Xian's resentment. When he failed to win over him, he was criticized and Wang Guangyang was demoted many times.
He was demoted three times, three times up and three down.
If it were an ordinary official, being demoted once would make him unable to get ahead, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Wang Guangyang was capable, so after being demoted, he summoned him into the court again.
When Hu Weiyong was in power, he was still considered to be the right prime minister to check and balance Hu Weiyong.
Unfortunately.
Perhaps because he was repeatedly belittled and suffered too many grievances, Wang Guangyang indulged in alcohol after becoming the right prime minister, drowning his sorrows in alcohol, drifting with the crowd, and only retaining his official position.
Just pretend that Hu Weiyong usurped power and didn't see it.
The final result was to be reprimanded again, and in the process of being reprimanded, he was given a glass of poisonous wine to die.
Now Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang are here.
"I don't know, will Li Shanchang come to join me when he learns that Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang are working under me?"
Wang Jing had a thought in his mind.
