Zhang Chong first looked at the title of the list and knew that it was the name of Xu Si, the prefect of Taishan Military County. ◆????????????Search????????????.????
??◆
Xu Si is the representative of the officials who stayed in the central and southern Shandong region, and has been in charge of the government affairs in the central and southern Shandong region since Zhuge Gui and others went north.
This important official wants to impeach the governor of Yitai region, so we can't take it too seriously.
So Zhang Chong put aside the other memorials and concentrated on reading the above table.
Zhang Chong looked at it very carefully, but after he finished reading it, Zhang Chong was stunned for a while because of his decision.
Just because the things involved here are related to the basic policy of the Taishan Army today, which is land.
Because the matter was of great importance, Zhang Chong asked his visitors to call several ministers on the side of the front hall to discuss it.
With the foundation of the system and the pacification of Hebei, the military and political affairs of the Taishan Army also began to be institutionalized. Although this did not happen overnight, there was still quite a new atmosphere.
The first one is that Zhang Chong consciously reformed the current Taishan military system by imitating the bureaucratic framework of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The Taishan Army is a new force, but it is still deeply influenced by the Han Dynasty, and generally follows the Han Dynasty's system.
However, the political model of the Han family, which neglected the three public affairs and emphasized the internal dynasty and generals, is undoubtedly a political system with a high degree of internal friction, so reform is imperative.
As a downstream person in history, Zhang Chong naturally knew that the Three Provinces and Six Ministries system that had matured after four hundred years of turmoil was more efficient than the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers system.
Of course, Zhang Chong is not arrogant. He does not necessarily think that the three-province-six-ministry system is necessarily suitable for today's Taishan Army. Therefore, he did not make big strides but carried out reforms on a small scale.
The first step of the reform was to place his office in the front hall of the Zhao Palace, and then build a number of reed houses outside the front hall, and then let the three high-ranking officials work here.
The reason here is very simple. The reduction of geographical distance itself is a means of improving administrative efficiency.
It is possible that as the number of personnel increases in the future, the three provinces will be separated into separate institutes, but at present this method is suitable for today's Taishan Army.
Because all political affairs were dealt with in that row of houses, Zhang Chong also named it the Political Affairs Hall.
Then according to the process of government affairs processing, a local government affairs must first be sent to the form and seal, and then someone has to sort out these forms and seals according to the type of government affairs and send them to the front hall to be processed by Zhang Chong, who can handle it
Zhu will directly give the approval to the imperial edict, and then someone will specifically execute it.
Therefore, according to this process, the division of government affairs can be divided into three important processes: administration, discussion, and governance.
This aspect of government administration is mainly a confidential department, and Zhang Chong also established it as the "Secretary Department" to deal with documents sent by county guards from various places.
In the process of deliberation, Zhang Chong and the six ministers and ministers who were experienced in government affairs came together to discuss the matter. In fact, it was the highest think tank of the entire Taishan Army. Zhang Chong established this department as the "Menxia Province", meaning that it was the highest think tank of the entire Taishan Army.
For the department that discusses political affairs together under the front door.
After all the ministers and provinces have discussed it, the edict will be drafted and sent to the six departments.
This department is equivalent to Zhang Chong's pen, and it is specially recruited. Therefore, it does not work in the outer political hall but directly in the front hall, so it is also called the "front hall department".
When these edicts are correct, they will be transferred to the six relevant ministries or directly sent back to the local officials who submitted the edicts.
The six ministries serve as executive departments, and together they are called the Shangshu Province. Each minister is also called a Shangshu Lang, and the deputy minister is called a Shangshu Shilang.
These six departments are modeled on the six-official system of Zhou Rites, with six departments including officials, finance, etiquette, military, punishment, and work. Each department has its own responsibilities. For example, the official department, as the main department, has four departments, namely the selection department and the merit examination department.
, Education Department, Fenghui Department.
These four divisions were innovated by Zhang Chong based on the modern talent management model.
As the name suggests, the Selection Department is responsible for drawing up candidate lists, assessing candidates' abilities, selecting and assigning candidates to corresponding positions, and handling transfers.
The Merit Examination Department specializes in assessing the administrative results of Taishan officers and officials. It is divided into four levels: upper, upper, lower, lower, upper, and lower. It is evaluated once a year. Those who can get the upper level twice can be promoted to one level.
Then there is the Education Department. Compared with the past, where officials' abilities were left to their own devices, the Taishan Army will continue to train officials under its rule. This training is included during their tenure to ensure the continued growth of Taishan Army talents.
The last one is the Department of Retirement and Retirement, which mainly deals with the affairs of retired and retired officials.
In order to prevent officials from following the same rules, Zhang Chong specially introduced the retirement of officials so that the people below could improve their abilities and ensure the combat effectiveness of the official group.
Of course, Zhang Chong also knew that in today's world of great strife, people with government capabilities were already scarce, and it was too late for other forces to put them to good use, let alone let them go.
Moreover, if officials are allowed to leave their posts rashly, it will be easy to leak the Taishan Army's intelligence.
Due to the above practical considerations, Zhang Chong did not adopt the final elimination system commonly used by some modern enterprises. Instead, he only transferred those who were rated poor in the government affairs assessment for four consecutive years to other departments.
In addition to the innovations in the specific duties of the six ministries, there have also been huge changes in the logic of government affairs processing.
In the Tang Dynasty, the six ministers were office-bearers and did not participate in political affairs, so they always had conflicts with their subordinates.
Now Zhang Chong has given all the chiefs of the six ministries the authority to discuss political affairs, which means that they usually sit in Cao Si, but if there are matters involving him, they have to come to the front hall to discuss political affairs.
There are two advantages to doing this. One is that these six ministers have a better understanding of the situation in the district, and their participation in decision-making can ensure the rationality of the decision-making.
Another important reason is that the participation of these people in political affairs can eliminate the gap between planning and execution to the greatest extent.
After all, there is a saying that goes like this:
“Because I participate, I agree.”
When each minister takes the edict issued by him to discuss affairs, he will promote it himself instead of passing the blame to each other.
The above-mentioned government affairs reforms have been implemented not long ago, and nothing is certain yet. But even from the current point of view, Zhang Chong's reforms are still very original. It does not mean that the three provinces and six ministries of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are directly copied and used.
Whether this set of small-scale reforms can adapt to the current situation still needs time to be verified.
…
Soon, the visitors from the front hall summoned the six ministers from the province, as well as the Minister of Finance who was involved in land affairs.
These visitors were also very hard-working, drafting and recruiting, and summoning them back and forth. This was also Zhang Chong's hiring style, and he tried his best.
The Ministry of Finance is located outside the front hall and is the fastest to arrive, while the Ministry of Finance and other six departments are in the south hall outside the palace, so they are the slowest to arrive.
While waiting for the Minister of Finance, Zhang Chong had already asked his visitors to copy Xu Si's impeachment form into six copies.
This was not only to facilitate the reading of the six subordinate officers, but also to hide Xu Si's notes from being recognized by those present.
The six disciples present now were all carefully selected by Zhang Chong. They include old bosses from the Taishan Army and senior talents who are proficient in government affairs. In short, Zhang Chong spent a lot of time on this list.
The layout in the front hall at this time is like this.
Zhang Chong sat facing south, facing the door.
On his left hand side were placed six mats for the six ministers to sit on. On his right hand side were also placed six mats for the six ministers to sit on. Although these people did not always discuss politics.
Participate, but still reserve your seat to show respect.
However, although the disciples and the ministers all sit side by side, in this world, the left is respected, so it still reflects the nobility of the disciples.
At this time, the first person in the left column is Duman, and below him are He Kui, Tao An, Cai Yong, Zhuge Gui, and Tian Feng.
This ranking of seats itself illustrates the rank of each sect.
Duman, as Zhang Chong's childhood friend and founder of the business together, is naturally the chief. And He Kui, Zhang Chong's biggest mastermind during the entire transition to war, has outstanding achievements and is ranked second.
And Tao An had a long-term plan and planned the strategic decisions of the Taishan Army several times. Then Cai Yong was a high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty and Zhang Chong's father-in-law, so naturally he also had a seat. Zhuge Gui was skilled in government affairs and was in charge.
As a capable minister in general affairs, he also has a seat.
But the strange thing is, how can Tian Feng be so virtuous? He is just a subordinate. Even if he is really capable, even if he is the last person, he will not get his turn.
Indeed, Dong Zhao was also considered as an alternative. After all, this person was stronger than Tian Feng in terms of ability, merit, and social standing. But in the end, after careful consideration, Zhang Chong still chose Tian Feng.
There is no other reason, just because Tian Feng is from the north.
Looking at the five disciples above alone, they are all very capable and everyone admires them. But looking at them together, who are these five people? They are either from Qingzhou or Yanzhou. What do the people of Hebei think now?
Every sect member can participate in government affairs, and every edict issued from here involves the interests of a large group of people. If the people of Hebei have no one under their sect, then they will wonder whether their own interests will be ignored.
care.
Now that the main body of the Taishan Army is in Hebei, this aspect must be considered. Therefore, as a Hebei person, Tian Feng is the most suitable.
One is that this person is indeed very capable, and because he surrendered early, he had no blood feud with the Taishan Army.
Of course, the second condition is the most important. Otherwise, the other Jiangren Jushou was also from Hebei, so why didn’t Zhang Chong choose him?
Isn't it because this person stubbornly resisted when he was guarding Xiangguo and caused a lot of casualties to Guan Yu's left army?
If Jushou is chosen as his disciple, the generals of the Marshal's Mansion of the Left Army will be sad.
The above is the difficulty of political affairs. Zhang Chong would rather fight the battle of Zhongrenting again than have to worry about the distribution of interests.
But this is politics. If you don’t do it, others will do it, and then the authority will belong to others.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, Zhang Chong still managed the government tirelessly every day.
With the inhuman physique of our Taishan Superman, he is naturally a good material for documents.
…
Sure enough, as the six disciples read the list, they had different thoughts.
Even when the Minister of Finance solemnly entered the palace, no one raised their heads to take a look.
Although the name of this petition was anonymized, none of the six disciples present were intelligent. Judging from the content and the objects of impeachment, we knew that the impeacher must be the chief official of Fenggao area, but we did not know that it was Xu Bin.
It's still Hu Mu's class, of course there are other people too.
The content of the petition was not long. The impeachers mainly impeached Marshal Guan Yu of the Left Army for one crime, which was to invade the local area.
The tone of the impeacher was not harsh, but even a little aggrieved. He said that he had advised Guan Yu several times, but none of them were accepted. He ignored the opposition of local officials in Fenggao and went his own way.
So what exactly did Guan Yu do to invade the place?
It turns out that our Marshal of the Left Army has once again divided his fields in the Laiwu area.
This is what the disciples present value, and this is what Zhang Chong finds difficult.
In terms of authority, Guan Yu, as the Commander-in-Chief, was in charge of all military and political affairs in central and southern Shandong Province, and dividing the fields was an important means of developing the Taishan Army and cleaning up the place, so it was naturally Guan Yu's authority.
But this time Guan Yu did not divide the land among the powerful, but once again divided the land among the Guizhou leaders who had been given the land five years ago.
this is the key of the problem.
Among the people present, everyone else was thinking a lot, but only the chief, Duman, had eyes twinkling.
Because he knows this matter best, or this issue.
He had discovered this problem before in the Laotaishan area, that is, the headlands of Guizhou became local and local tyrants.
At that time, he also wanted to reorganize the land distribution in the Taishan area, but Duman was more cautious and only piloted it on a small scale. He planned to obtain Zhang Chong's consent before promoting it.
But when he went north to Yecheng to report the matter, he was categorically opposed by Zhang Chong.
The reason given by the king at that time was that at this critical moment, the elderly could not be distracted and must give birth with peace of mind.
Judging from the subsequent results, the king was indeed right.
During the two subsequent Northern Expeditions, the reason why the Taishan Army had no worries about food supply was the result of the hard work of the farmers in the rear and their bravery in supporting the advance.
But what makes Du Man full of doubts now is why the king would bring up similar matters now.
According to the conclusion made a year ago, what Guan Yu is doing in the Laiwu area is definitely inappropriate. In this case, it is enough to directly recruit the Marshal of the Left Army who ordered Shen Fenggao.
But now we have gone to such great lengths to call in the Six Sects and the Minister of Finance to discuss matters. What does this mean?
It shows that the king has a new view on this matter.
So, Duman decided to see what the king had to say.
While Duman was thinking, Zhuge Gui, who was sitting at the fifth seat, was quite uneasy.
In fact, he knew about this, and he also knew that this impeachment letter must have been written by Xu Si, the current Taishan prefect.
Why is Zhuge Gui so determined?
Because Xu Bang had mentioned this matter in a private message to him before, and wanted Zhuge Gui to convey it on his behalf.
Xu Bang was Zhuge Gui's deputy in Mount Tai, and he recommended Xu Bang to take charge of Fenggao after he left Mount Tai.
According to the tradition of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Gui was Xu Si's successor, and Xu Si was his disciple. The two were politically connected.
But Zhuge Gui hated this practice so much that he even regarded this old custom among his disciples as the source of the troubles caused by cliques in the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhuge Gui did not make any commitment to Xu Bang, but only asked people to understand Feng Gao's situation.
With this understanding, Zhuge Gui knew that he could never express his position on this matter.
What did Zhuge Gui know? It could make such an official with moral ideals remain silent.
