Chapter 365: Candidates for the Shogunate

"The Commander-in-Chief, the General who opens the mansion, is different from the Three Dukes and Doctor Guanglu." In front of the bronze mirror, Concubine Pei said while arranging her messy hair.
"How can I do it differently?" Shao Xun was lying on the couch and felt that there was no cigarette in his hand, so he could only concentrate on admiring the beauty.
Concubine Pei sat facing him sideways, with the beautiful curves of her upper body exposed.
Below the waist, the hem of the skirt was pushed back and dragged on the carpet.
Maybe there was sweat on the body, and the middle of the skirt was slightly concave, as if it was absorbed.
"When Governor Chijie opened his mansion, he had more Sima and lieutenants than Dr. Guanglu, and more soldiers than Jia Binggong's mansion." Concubine Pei said.
"Then Sima Yue——" Shao Xun said.
Concubine Pei glanced at him.
"What happened to Situ Xian?" Shao Xun asked.
"When the Zong Wang appointed three Dukes, he often added the title of General, held multiple positions, and opened several offices." Concubine Pei said: "When discussing matters, the staff may not all come from the same shogunate. It is difficult for outsiders to understand the internal situation, which often leads to misunderstandings."
"If you open a shogunate in the name of General Pingdong, you can have one chief official, one Sima, and two ministers. It is said to be two members, but in fact there is no fixed number. There are many shogunates with five or six members. Joining the army also requires six members.
, but most shogunates have less than six members, and a few shogunates have more than six members, so you have to decide what to do."
"In addition, it depends on whether you want to set up a military department. If you want to set up a military department, you will also need to install a number of military counselors and wine ministers."
"The military chief, the chief historian, and the Sima, who are engaged in the position of lieutenant general, need to report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for permission, and the court will issue a salary - in fact, it will not be issued, but it is true that it must be reported."
Shao Xun nodded.
He is the military chief of the Yanzhou shogunate, so he must report it to the imperial court for approval by Zuopushe, the minister.
"The military commander will not be in charge anymore. I will handle the military affairs myself." Shao Xun said, "Chang Shi, Sima, who is the best person to serve as a lieutenant?"
Those who have a long history are engaged in Zhonglang "chief official" and Sima "chief general". They are both personnel management positions and are relatively important.
He was actually asking Concubine Pei if she had any manpower to arrange.
"You can make your own." Concubine Pei had already put on her jewelry, looked in the mirror, and said casually.
"Then let's choose from the old people of the government." Shao Xun said: "Pei Kang will be the long history."
Concubine Pei rolled her eyes at him, as if to say that the word "Pei Kang" was also called by you.
Shao Xun laughed playfully, stood up, walked over, hugged Concubine Pei from behind, and said, "I have always been talented, and I am more than qualified to be a long history officer."
Concubine Pei stopped what she was doing, sighed, and said: "I can't marry you. If you let Yue Mansion disperse, and I enter your house, although the reputation is not good, it will not be a big problem. Today
The General's Mansion has established a firm foothold, and the nine counties and kingdoms are integrated. If I enter your mansion, Yanzhou may be in chaos."
"Some people may be able to pretend they can't see you secretly and don't know. If you can't enter your house openly, it will be bad for your reputation."
Shao Xun stopped kneading.
He knew that what Concubine Pei said was true. He had tens of thousands of troops and was so powerful in Henan that no one dared to look up to him. But even to this extent, he could not do whatever he wanted.
Just like Concubine Pei said, having an affair is the limit. Until now, he didn't even dare to stay overnight at the General's Mansion just to avoid suspicion.
"So you need to have more power. Yanzhou accounts for half of your strength." Concubine Pei slapped Shao Xun's hand covering her chest and said, "You still dare to provoke me."
"Nine years ago, I only had a few dozen soldiers, so I wanted to provoke you." Shao Xun sat aside angrily, feeling a little guilty in his heart.
"Who do you prefer, Shogun Sima?" Concubine Pei asked.
"I want to put Sima on both sides." Shao Xun said.
"General Pingdong just wants to have a commanding officer?" Concubine Pei said in surprise: "General Zhendong is not qualified, at least he must be General Zhendong."
"How can this meeting be so particular? There are many things that exceed the rules." Shao Xun said: "Hua Nu, believe it or not, I will report it accordingly, and the court will definitely approve it."
Concubine Pei glanced at him helplessly and asked, "Who is Sima?"
"If I take Chen Yougen as the left Sima and Yang Chen as the right Sima, what will Hua Nu think?"
Concubine Pei was silent for a moment and said: "Sheep chief is a good man in both civil and military affairs. He has done a good job in Chen County, right?"
"Compared with him, the likes of Cui Gong and Cui Kuang have to be thrown away." Shao Xun said.
He doesn't shy away from hiding things in private between "husband and wife" and tells the truth directly.
Yang Chen was responsible for the resettlement of refugees in Chen County, and his management was in an orderly manner, even better than Shao Xun imagined.
Now he has gone to Nanton County and Xincai to "guide the work."
Moreover, Yang Chen does have military strategy, his own martial arts is also very good, and he is also good at handwriting - the aristocratic family has top-notch educational resources. Maybe most people don't cherish it and just eat, drink and have fun, but there are a few people who make full use of these.
Resources, study hard, Yang Chen is one of them, otherwise Sima Lun would not have arrested him to join the army.
The shogunate Sima is mainly responsible for personnel work in the military.
Chen Yougen is an old man. He solved his official status problem when he drove a car for the emperor. Now he has accumulated merits and is now a seventh-rank official. He has no problem being the left commander of the shogunate.
To be honest, in terms of management, Yang Chen was much better than Chen Yougen, but Shao Xun didn't trust him enough, so he made him the right Sima to assist Chen Yougen in his work.
"Chen Yougen is brave and good at fighting, and he is your old man Yuancong. He is just right to be Zuo Sima. The sheep leader is not familiar with the place, so he may not be able to command those arrogant and powerful generals." Concubine Pei said: "Very good.
"
The Sima of the shogunate may also lead troops in battle.
Not only the Sima, the Chief of History, but also those who were engaged in the field, joined the army, and were in charge could become the commanders of large armies. Because many positions in the shogunate were not necessarily assigned according to their ability, the phenomenon of "occupying officials" was very serious.
The so-called "occupying official positions" means that if there are no positions available for people who defect to the job, they will be assigned first wherever there are vacancies.
People like Shao Xun were selected based on their job descriptions, which could only have happened when the shogunate was founded.
"How about we hire two people first, Mao Bang and Liu Anzhi as the best ones?" Shao Xun asked again.
"You don't have to think about the Pei family in everything." Concubine Pei held Shao Xun's face and said, "Although I am the Pei family's daughter, I am already married."
Shao Xun nodded and said, "That's it."
Hearing the word "marry", he felt secretly happy.
Concubine Pei asked him not to always think about benefiting the Pei family, and he felt more and more that he had to take care of her. At the same time, he secretly thought that it would be great if their children were so sensible in the future.
The power of a lieutenant depends entirely on the trust of the master of the shogunate.
If the Changshi is in charge of all large and small affairs in the government except military affairs, then the Zhonglang has the power to advise the Changshi.
Yes, there is no right to decide, only the right to make suggestions.
But if the Zhonglang was very trusted by the Kaifu generals, Chang Shi would have to seriously consider their opinions.
"There are six people joining the army temporarily: Li Chong, Yu Liang, Yuan Yan, Xun Zhen, Jin Zheng, and Wang Que'er." Shao Xun said.
As far as the shogunate Shao Xun is concerned, the full name of joining the army is "Sen Pingdong General Military", which is actually the staff officer.
Everyone who joins the army is responsible for their own affairs, some are responsible for intelligence, some are responsible for external relations, some are responsible for logistics, some are responsible for military production, and some are responsible for military planning...
Correspondingly, they will interface with other departments of the shogunate according to their respective business scopes.
For example, those in charge of logistics deal with departments such as Cang Cao, Bing Cao, and Kai Cao.
But this is a normal situation. Nowadays, when the phenomenon of occupying official positions is very prominent, people who join the army often lead troops in battles, which is completely out of the scope of staff officers.
Shao Xun organized six major armies, each of whom was responsible for a part of the work, and at the same time it also had the meaning of united front.
There are generals here that he relies on very much, but does not trust absolutely.
I have a brother-in-law.
There are external governors and prefects.
There are powerful nobles.
There is a silver spear army general.
Concubine Pei asked about everyone's responsibilities, and when she learned that some were purely staff advisors, while others had specific duties, she nodded and said, "I'm not familiar with them, so you can make your own decision."
Shao Xun then discussed with her the candidates for the positions of chief bookkeeper, office supervisor, secretary, Xidong two pavilions, etc.
"Don't make a decision in a hurry." Concubine Pei said: "After the news spreads that you are going to marry Yu Wenjun, the scholars in Yuzhou will visit you privately. You have to leave some positions for them to win people's hearts. Furthermore,
Don't ask me about these things. It's more legitimate to discuss them with Lu Zhi and Yu Zhi than asking me."
"Hua Nu, you..." Shao Xun was a little surprised.
"I am a woman too!" Concubine Pei pinched him, got up, changed her clothes, and left.
Shao Xun reacted and sighed secretly. It turns out that no matter how generous, majestic and strong a woman is in front of others, there are times when her defenses are broken.
He slumped back on the bed again, tapping his fingers, and began to think.
Well, as he was tapping, he found something was wrong. His finger hit a dry lump.
Behind the hard lump, there are two obvious peach-shaped outlines.
So he moved his position and continued to think about how to unite the soldiers.
According to his principle, more positions in the shogunate can be given to scholars, but more positions in local counties can be given to his students.
Most of the outstanding students had their names in Taixue, so appointing them as officials was barely justified and did not break the old rules. At most, they were taking advantage of loopholes in the rules.
These people have already been rotated through the positions of county officials. The largest group is already in their twenties. Next, they can start as county-level assistant officials (such as county magistrates) in Xiangcheng and Chenjun, and have several years of experience.
Later, he can serve as county magistrate.
This group of them is lucky, because the powerful gentry in Xiangcheng and Chen County have been greatly weakened. Although it is impossible to completely equalize the land, it can be achieved relatively evenly. In this way, the authority of the government is greatly strengthened.
Easy to manage.
If you want to bargain with aristocratic families, you must have such a core ruling area.
Otherwise, he is just an alliance leader.
Of course, at this stage, Shao Xun is an alliance leader, the kind of alliance leader whose rule is very unstable, which is common in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Everything has to happen slowly.
