Chapter 1397: The Transfer and Appointment of Officials (Part 2)
Chapter 1397: Transfer and Appointment of Officials (Part 2)
There are only three counties in Hetao, so it cannot be counted as a state. However, because it is a major grain-producing area, its importance is greater than that of a state. Therefore, Qin Hao upgraded the Hetao area to a state level, and the highest administrative officials and military generals were also governors. and the governor.
Qu Yuan, the former prefect of Yinshan, was transferred by Qin Hao to be the prefect of Nanyang;
Wen Tianxiang, the former prefect of Ningxia, was promoted to the post of Hetao Biejia;
Yang Ye, the former prefect of Yinshan, had died in the battle at Zhenbeiguan, and the post of prefect was temporarily held by his son Yang Liulang.
Therefore, all the prefects of the three counties of Hetao are currently vacant, and there is an urgent need for Qin Hao to send another official to serve.
Since Hetao is an important grain-producing area, and only this one produces more grain than the other three states, the prefect is mainly responsible for grain-gathering matters, so the requirements for political attributes are relatively low.
After discussing with Liu Bowen, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai and other military advisers, Qin Hao finally decided:
The prefect of Yinchuan: Li Yan; the county magistrate: Li Daoyuan;
Ningxia Prefect: Wang Xizhi; Commander of the County: Wang Kuang;
The governor of Yinshan: Yang Liulang; the county magistrate: Su Wu;
Both Li Yan and Wang Xizhi were over 90 in politics, which was more than enough to serve as the governor of a county in Hetao.
Although Yang Liulang's political attributes are not high, with the Yang family's reputation in Hetao and the assistant of the county magistrate Su Wu, it is enough to serve as the prefect of a county.
In addition, the battle in Hetao can only be blamed. Although Yang Liulang failed to defend Zhenbeiguan, it was not a lack of ability on his part.
Coupled with Yang Ye's self-sacrifice, the Yang family has a very high prestige in Hetao. As long as the Yang family is stationed in Hetao, it will give confidence to the people of Hetao.
Therefore, Qin Haocai chose to let Yang Liulang inherit his father's business and continue to serve as the prefect of Yinshan.
The reason why Qin Hao asked Li Daoyuan to serve as the governor of Yinchuan County was mainly because Yinchuan County was in contact with the Yellow River, and once the Yellow River flooded, it would affect the defense of the Loop.
Li Daoyuan's landscape attribute was as high as 98, and Qin Hao asked him to serve as the governor of Yinchuan. The actual reason was to let him sort out the Yellow River waterway and prevent the Yellow River from affecting the harvest of Hetao.
The importance of the Hetao is self-evident. It borders Yuanmeng to the north and Liangzhou to the west. However, only Zhenbeiguan in the north is dangerous to defend, so heavy troops must be deployed to protect the safety of the Hetao.
After discussing with a group of military advisers, Qin Hao decided to establish the post of Governor of Hetao to be responsible for all military and defense affairs in Hetao.
Regarding the post of Governor of the Hetao, after repeated discussions, Qin Hao decided to appoint Bai Qi to take the post, while Meng Tian, who had performed well in the Battle of the Hetao, would serve as the Deputy Governor.
Qin Hao's arrangement was obviously to help Meng Tian ascend to the throne. After all, Meng Tian was the most suitable candidate to take charge of the Loop.
Meng Tian was born in the Jin army, and he had enough merits, but his qualifications were insufficient and he was not suitable to serve as the governor directly. He needed someone to support him first, so that he would be able to convince the public when he took the position.
With Bai Qi's status and achievements, he would definitely not be able to stay in the Hetao for long. At this time, Bai Qi needed to be in the Hetao to frighten Yuan Meng and other princes, so Qin Hao put Bai Qi in the Hetao.
If the Qin army goes to Hebei in the future, the leader will definitely be Bai Qi, and the person who will succeed Bai Qi as the governor of Hetao will only be Meng Tian.
After the official issues in the Hetao were dealt with, the only remaining issue was Bingzhou.
Bingzhou is the only completed state owned by Qin Hao, with nine counties and a population of four million, so naturally we cannot be careless when it comes to selecting the governor.
After a long discussion with all the military advisors, Qin Hao made the following decision:
The governor of Taiyuan: Meng Ao; the county magistrate: Ouyang Xiu.
The governor of Yanmen: Li Dingguo; the county magistrate: Su Shi.
The governor of Shangdang: Bai Juyi; the county magistrate: Liu Zongyuan.
The prefect of Shangjun: Liu Bingzhong; the county magistrate: Liu Yuxi.
The governor of Xihe: Li Dongyang; the county magistrate: Du Fu.
The governor of Wuyuan: Xun Yan; the county magistrate: Wang Bo.
The governor of Yunzhong: Xiang Lang; the county magistrate: Sima Guang.
The prefect of Dingxiang is Mi Zhu; the county magistrate is Du Mu.
The governor of Shuofang is Dong He; the county magistrate is Wang Wei.
This time, except for Meng Ao and Li Dingguo, who were military generals, the candidates for the nine major county governors were all civil servants.
As for the other nine county magistrates, although they are all great poets, in fact, their political attributes are not low, and poetry and poetry are just their hobbies.
The heroes challenged Dong, and Qin Hao served as the leader of the alliance. Coupled with the disclosure of high-yielding grain varieties, Qin Hao's prestige greatly increased. When Qin Hao unified Sizhou, many people naturally took the initiative to join him.
People like Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, and Liu Zongyuan all came over during or after Qin Hao's campaign against Dong.
At that time, Qin Hao had newly acquired the four counties of Sizhou and needed a large number of talents to govern the place. There were many people who came to seek refuge with him, so Qin Hao selected the best among them and sent them to each county as county magistrates.
As for the transfer of officials this time, Qin Hao selected the person with the most outstanding political performance among the many county magistrates to serve as the county magistrate of the nine counties in Bingzhou. Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi and others were just the best among them.
After winning the Battle of Hetao, Qin Hao's prestige rose to another level and attracted more talents to invest, including: Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Kan Ze, Yi Ji, Deng Zhi, Wang Can, Yu
Turn over and wait.
Zhang Hong and Liu Ye were good friends, and they were persuaded by Liu Ye's letter, so they took the initiative to apply.
Gu Yong was a disciple of Cai Yong. He was originally ready to defect to Sun Jian, but was persuaded by Cai Yong's letter, so he turned to Qin Hao.
Yi Ji, Deng Zhi, and Wang Can are all local talents in Jingzhou. They were resentful of Qin Hao's suppression of the family before, so they did not join them and have been waiting and watching.
This time Qin Hao defeated Temujin, defended the Han Dynasty, and eliminated the grudges in the hearts of these talented people in Jingzhou, and they all took the initiative to join Qin Hao.
After Wang Lang's power was annexed by Sun Jian, in addition to taking the initiative to seek refuge, Wang Lang also brought his capable minister Yu Fan, and with him was Kan Ze.
In short, a group of heroes fighting against Dong and a battle in the Hetao not only raised Qin Hao's reputation by two levels, but also brought many talents to Qin Hao. It can be said that he achieved multiple things with one stone.
At present, Qin Hao's territory only has three prefectures, including nine counties in Bingzhou, four counties in Sizhou, four counties in Jingzhou, and three counties in Hetao, totaling twenty counties.
After settling the candidates for the governors and magistrates of the twenty counties, Qin Hao made arrangements for the farming issues in the three states.
In troubled times, food and grass are the most critical, and grain harvesting cannot be neglected.
Currently, the only agricultural talents under Qin Hao are: Zao Zhi, Ren Jun, Song Yingxing, and Jia Sixie.
Therefore, after thinking over and over again, Qin Hao decided to appoint each of these four people to be responsible for all aspects of agriculture in a state.
