Chapter 149 System and Manpower

The former judge of the Jingliu Department, Tian Kuang, was transferred to the deputy commander of the Ningshuo Army. Xu Ping wrote a letter to ask the new judges in the court to come and recommended Zeng Gongliang. After weighing the matter, Zhao Zhen finally agreed to Xu Ping's request and sent Zeng Gongliang as the judge of the Qinfenglu Jingliu Department. Zeng Gongliang compiled military books in the court, which was considered to be a military officer, and also served as a lecturer at Tianzhang Pavilion. He explained the meaning of the scriptures to Zhao Zhen, and was considered to be a minister he was familiar with.

As emperors, they always have to send ministers whom they are familiar with and trustworthy to the border areas. Among the other routes along the border, it is difficult for Zhao Zhen to do this. The officials who are in charge of civil officials are themselves, and military generals simply exclude literati from participating in military affairs. Only Xu Ping here will refuse anyone and will take the initiative to ask the court to be assigned to subordinates. Most of Zhao Zhen's confidants will come here.

In the northwest, winning and destroying the party is one of the goals, and reorganizing military culture and systems in the war is the second goal. The talents he wants are people with high cultural level, and everything else is second. If you can't fight, then learn it. As long as you are careful, you can always learn it here. In the process of learning, the new military culture and systems are also promoted. Moreover, with Xu Ping's current status, there is no need to worry about officials coming to Qinzhou to suffer a disaster. Now, except for a few old ministers, no one in the court dares to act wildly with him.

Xu Ping's basic foundation in the court was originally a financially specialized civil servant who was mainly officials of the Three Divisions. After arriving in Qinzhou, there were more generals who grew up in the new military system. As the war progressed, the affairs under Qinzhou were becoming more and more complicated, and these two officials began to intersect. Xu Ping was not sure what they would grow into in the future.

The arrival of Zeng Gongliang furthered the regularization of the Qinzhou army, and various systems began to be systematic and written regulations were formed. Perhaps in the future military books, the new military system of Qinzhou will become an important part.

Immediately afterwards, in the same year as Xu Pingxin, Liang Feng, was in charge of the affairs of the Strategic Office in Qin Fenglu and was responsible for the daily affairs of the General Administration. Xu Ping himself escaped from the daily affairs and re-examined the military and civil affairs west of Longshan.

As the war progressed, the staffing of the General Administration Department began to increase compared with the past to adapt to the trend of the new system of border military and civil affairs becoming increasingly concentrated in the General Administration Department. Qinfeng Road General Administration Department should now be two judges, one in charge of official affairs, one in business affairs, one in an opportunity, and one deputy chief officer who was deployed by the deputy chief officer. At this time, due to the promotion of military merits, Sang Yi was appointed as the Deputy Chief Officer of Qinfeng Road, and the Commander of the Xuanwei Army. In terms of organization, Xu Ping's General Administration Officer was still less engaged in business affairs, and Xu Ping had not yet thought of a suitable candidate. The five chief officers of Qinfeng Road each had their positions. Although most of the generals in charge of each department were military generals, they also understood the affairs of officials and were not in a hurry to add the missing candidates.

When Xu Ping was not in the General's Mansion, the military decision-making power was handed over to Sang Yi, and the daily affairs were handed over to Wang Kai. The military power of the Strategic Envoy actually came from the deployment of the officers, especially the power to command operations. Wang Kai was the supervisor of Qinzhou. His power in the existing system was limited, and everything came from Xu Ping's authorization. Xu Ping's military reform in Qinzhou gradually involved the organizational structure, personnel establishment, and their respective powers. Since it was still being piloted, there were many conflicts between the Qinzhou General's Mansion and the institutional design, and it could not be changed for the time being, and it was operated with Xu Ping's direct authorization.

The core of Qin Fenglu's operation in this way is that Zhao Zhen did not take back the right to act cheaply. As long as this edict is still in Xu Ping's hands, he can largely bypass the Privy Council and the Three Yases and act in Qinzhou with his own will. Several consecutive military victories consolidated Xu Ping's power, but temporary authorization is ultimately not reliable.

The military system of the Song Dynasty was highly decentralized in design, and it was difficult to form a situation where a person was arbitrary. Even at the same time, the power of the commanders on the side and the commanders on the side was actually different. It depends on the position of the concurrent position and the power given temporarily. Among the five border roads in the northwest, Xu Ping had the greatest power, while the commanders on the Fuyan and Huanqing roads had the least power. In terms of military, there was also one of the Shaanxi roads above them, both of which were deployed in Xia Shouyun.

After several months of running-in, Qinfeng Road's military system has only become normal. Although it lacks institutional guarantees, it is enough to adapt to the current situation. In the summer, Xu Ping's life in Dingxi City has become less and less, and he spends more time in Qinzhou. He rarely interferes in the daily affairs of the army.

On this day, Xu Ping summoned Shi Yannian, Fan Xiang, Wang Gongchen and the new Qinzhou governor Zhao Zi at the Qinzhou General's Office to discuss matters, discuss the achievements of combining accounts with villages and households and people over the past year, as well as the principles of future system implementation.

Shi Yannian said: "Since a year ago, the merger of the tents around Qinzhou was completed. Now it has been completed to the west of Longxi County and north of Tianshui County. I originally thought it would cause dissatisfaction among the foreigners and cause trouble, but after a year, I didn't expect that things would turn around. Now, near Qinzhou, there are often foreigners asking the provincial government to implement the merger of the tents in their places. However, now the prefectures are short of officials and scarce staff, so they can only be dragged down. Now Longxi has established a county, and if the place to promote the merger of the tents is wider, there must be more counties and towns. However, Qinzhou is located in the northwest, and many officials in the court are unwilling to come, so this is a problem."

Wang Gongchen said: "The foreigners have shallow eyelids. They are willing to combine the accounts, but they are just jealous and posting the accounts. The foreign households get benefits from the officials. In autumn and winter, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the government will give them grass and food to credit them. After the spring comes, there are more cattle and sheep left. The rules for thousands of years are that the pastures are there. Whoever has more cattle and sheep, eat more grass, and the cheaper they can make. Seeing this benefit, there are so many foreign residents who ask for a village to be a village. However, when they combine the accounts, we have to credit them grass and food to be collected. Things that are on credit may not be collected, and there are always risks. I remember that when I was on Jingxi Road, the manager did not agree to the implementation of the Qing Seedling Law, and the same is true for credit grass and food to be credited."

Dingxi County is the ancient Weizhou. Before the Sui Dynasty, it was Dingxi County, and when Dingxi County was abolished during the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to Weizhou. Later, after the invasion of Tubo, it was repeatedly passed and repeated. The prefecture was temporarily placed in Pingliang. Later, Pingliang was changed to Weizhou, which is the Weizhou of the Song Dynasty. After that area was implemented to merge the tents into villages, Dingxi County was re-established and under Qinzhou was under Qinzhou. Large-scale merger of tents into villages and households were allocated to all the people, which inevitably led to the civil affairs of Qinzhou becoming more and more complicated, and the existing Qinzhou organization could no longer adapt.

When Qinzhou merged the tent into a village, it was accompanied by economic support. Especially in the past winter, with the support of the land under Wang Gongchen, the herdsmen who merged the tent were given a large amount of forage and food without interest, avoiding the large-scale reduction of their livestock. This caused a problem. After the tent was merged, the livestock of herdsmen was far more than usual, so they gained the upper hand in the competition for pasture land, causing the jealousy of the unaccepted tent. Now, on a large scale, Qinzhou's manpower and material resources are somewhat difficult to support.
