The Great Qin Dynasty Meeting.

After a long period of calm, gunfire filled the air for the first time, and even Guan Yue, who had always been a good old man, was affected.

Guan Yue's Du Agricultural Supervisor was mainly responsible for agricultural affairs, and agriculture was the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. During the debate, Chen Ping used the number of officials in the Du Agricultural Supervisor as an issue to refute Li Zheng's performance appraisal basis.

There is leisure and busyness in farming.

When the harvest is busy, it is obviously not enough to rely on only a few agricultural supervisors in each county. At this time, we have to rely on the local elders and village pavilion personnel to assist, and this assistance is generally voluntary and does not require assistance.

There may be very high remuneration, or there may be performance appraisal for the assisting staff.

If a work error occurs during this period, how should we consider whether to determine that the official's performance is low, or to let him go due to extenuating circumstances?

Li Zheng and Chen Ping each refused to give in for their own governing ideas. When they worked together to assist Li Yuan in bringing Qin to a strong country, the disciples of these two different schools had differences of opinion for the first time.

Should it be prudent or radical?

Should we stick to the laws and regulations, or should we be more liberal and make up for our mistakes?

This time, they argued for their ideals.

This time, they did not care about their personal feelings, but only focused on the power behind them.

While Li Yuan listened, he was also thinking about how to calm down this dispute that was related to the political stability of the Qin State. Simply forcing one party will inevitably cause dissatisfaction on the other party, which will subsequently bring about negativity at work, and if

If you just talk to Xini without making any judgments, both sides' views will not be supported. As a result, the flames may be stoked for a while, but it will lead to more intense conflicts in the future.

Regulators and the regulated.

They are contradictory opposites in themselves. Now, the dispute between Chen Ping and Li Zheng has gradually evolved into a conflict of ideas between Confucianism and law.

The main reason for these contradictions is still rooted in the "simplified administration" national policy set by Li Yuan.

Governing a county, a county, or Guanzhong. Unlike governing a huge territory composed of twenty-seven counties, in a county, some urgent matters can be reported quickly by horse and post, but this is not possible in the current Qin State.

If what happened in Donghai County on the seashore were reported to Chang'an by fast horse, even if the road was smooth, it would still take six days.

In this era, the telegraph and telephone had not yet been invented, and the beacon transmission could only represent some simple signals. It could not provide all the details.

What's more, in order to prevent the occurrence of the farce of King You like "playing beacon fire on the princes", and also for military considerations, beacon fire can rarely be used in internal affairs.

Far away from the central court, the affairs of a county require more local officials to handle it themselves. This kind of self-handling exercises the officials' abilities on the one hand, and also increases the risks at the decision-making level.

.

"My dear ministers, the matter discussed today. I believe that the root cause does not lie in whether an assessment is needed, or whether the assessment should be carried out according to the order. The root lies in how much manpower is actually needed to do something. And once these manpower are provided,

Whether we can achieve the expected goal, I think this is the most critical thing. I was wrong about this matter——!" Li Yuan humbly reviewed.

Chen Ping, Li Zheng, and Guan Yue were stunned. They did not expect that Li Yuan listened for a long time. Not only did he not make a tendentious conclusion, but he admitted that he was wrong. To be honest, this was something they did not expect when they started to defend themselves.

.

Unknowingly, as Li Yuan's status was consolidated, as he became king from a marquis, and as the people of Qin increasingly regarded Li Yuan as the new emperor, Chen Ping and others subconsciously began to regard Li Yuan's words as

When making an imperial edict, no one would think about whether Li Yuan's decision was right or wrong.

This is the tragedy of human nature.

Even if more than two thousand years have passed, the situation will still be the same. Even those countries that shout democracy and freedom will still become practical when it comes to interests. What’s even more fun is that two thousand years later,

In a country on the southern border of Qin, there are still political parties that have resigned from power and are marching and rioting in the streets shouting about democracy, but the purpose is to overthrow a democratically elected government.

Of course, this is all off topic.

"As for the shortage of officials in some places, please go back and coordinate with each department. Each county and department will report the number of people needed. However, the specific number of personnel must be agreed upon by the Yushi Cheng and Yushi Zhongcheng. If there is any objection,

"Yes, the opinions of the Prime Minister's Office shall be subject first, and the probation period shall be one year. If the person with outstanding performance after one year can be retained, if the person is available or not, he will be transferred or dismissed. Do you think this is good?" Li Yuan

continued.

"What King Wu said is feasible. However, the performance appraisal after one year must be submitted to King Wu for review before confirmation." Li Zheng thought for a while and nodded.

The law of the country.

It lies in strictness and execution. Li Yuan placed the final supervision power on the Yushitai, which means he recognized the importance of Legalism. Therefore, Li Zheng was not dissatisfied.

"King Wu, we are going to issue an order to inform all the counties and departments. They must get ahead of the farming work and send the instructions one by one, so as not to miss the state affairs." Chen Ping also nodded.

The prime minister's job is mainly to let the officials execute the decrees and ensure the normal operation of the state machinery, rather than to fight against the censors. Since Li Yuan agreed to the idea of ​​increasing the number of officials, he will naturally not make any extra trouble.

The battle over domestic affairs.

It is no more bloody than the military, but more reflected in the different opinions on a policy or measure, and behind it are the interest demands of different groups.

When Li Yuan ended the court meeting, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The Qin State was still in its rising period, and various contradictions had begun to appear. If one was not dealt with in time, it would cause confrontation between different groups of officials. Once this confrontation

If it continues, it will cause turmoil in the national system.

How to resolve this contradiction is a test of whether a manager is excellent, qualified or unqualified. Li Yuan suddenly felt that he was under tremendous pressure.

——.

Chang'an City.

In the gradually warm spring breeze, we welcome the sprouting of willow branches and the melting of ice.

Thousands of miles away, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a vast expanse of yellow sand. Li Zhongxiang, the commander-in-chief of the Western Region Allied Forces, the Great Qin general Li Zhongxiang, led more than 8,000 allied troops stationed in Yanqi City at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Small countries have their own way to survive, and that is alliance, which is what the experts in the art of war and strategists call the vertical alliance. In the Central Plains, due to the fall of the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, the vertical alliance eventually came to nothing. But in the Western Regions,

Due to the limitations of the natural conditions of desert oasis, small countries can continue.

From March 20th to April 13th, Li Zhongxiang led his army stationed in Yanqi City. He ignored King Wusun in the west who sent envoys several times to request a joint attack on Da Yueshi. In addition to training, he also practiced every day.

This made the soldiers from various countries who were eager to defeat the Da Yuezhi people and return home for meritorious service to receive rewards filled with complaints.

However, Li Zhongxiang was unmoved and continued his planned plan. Eight thousand troops and horses were already the total strength of the countries in the Western Regions. If it weren't for the support of King Loulan, Li Zhongxiang would have been able to gather five thousand troops.

.

Among these 8,000 people, the Loulan Army is the main force, with nearly 3,000 people. Most of these 3,000 generals are veterans who followed Li Zhongxiang to pacify the Xiongnu in Hexi. They had many contacts with the Qin Army.

Weapons, equipment, tactical literacy, etc. also basically follow the example of the Qin army.

As for the other 5,000 people, they range from seven to eight hundred to three or four hundred. Each small country has limited strength, so its soldiers mostly choose those who are more powerful. As for battle formation drills, not to mention battle formation drills, such a group

If the miscellaneous armed forces are used to defend the city, they may still be of some use, but if they are sent directly to the battlefield, they will most likely be completely destroyed in one round.

Li Zhongxiang understood that his main purpose on this journey was not to show off and fight the Dayue clan for the first time. The Qin army's real trump card in attacking the Dayue clan this time was the Luo Jia cavalry on the eastern front.

Although the number of the five thousand Qin army war cavalry was small, each soldier was selected from thousands of troops in Hexi and Longxi. Many of them had experience in fighting the Huns.

Luo Jia shouldered the heavy responsibility of defeating the enemy for the first time.

He, who has longed for glory and victory for a long time, is leading his army by the Swan Lake. Here, the Qin army has just defeated a tribe of Dayuezhi. Facing Luo Jia, a cavalry armed to the teeth, the Yuezhi people are just Qiupao.

It was no match for the crude copper-clad weapons, and what disappointed King Dayuezhi even more was that Xumibutong, the Xiongnu envoy, never returned, and the few Xiongnu deputy envoys left behind were completely useless.

Xumibu is an adulterer, and of course he will not return immediately. The Yuezhi people and the Qin people have turned against each other, and now they have officially started fighting. This is what the Great Shanyu Maodun wants to see most. If the Qin people and the Yuezhi people

If people can continue to fight fiercely and eventually both sides suffer losses, that will be the best news for the Huns.

Of course, with the current strength of the Yuezhi, it is almost impossible to compete with the powerful Qin. However, Xumibutong is not worried. Although the Yuezhi people are not strong enough, the Western Region is far away from Qin, and the Yuezhi people have geographical advantages.

With the advantage, it would not be easy for the Qin army to defeat the Yuezhi all at once.

The Huns sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

The one who was anxious was King Dayuezhi. The short-sighted Yuezhi people got a large number of cattle, sheep and supplies when they surrounded and annihilated the Baiyang tribe. Now, they suddenly realized that they had been tricked by the Huns. In desperation, Dayuezhi people

The king sent people several times to the nearby Xiongnu Youxian King Huyanxie to seek help, but Huyanxie never received any response.

The war lasted until early May, and Li Zhongxiang's troops, who had completed preliminary training, also began to move north. At this time, the Wusun army on the western front had approached Lake Ilk, and the Qin cavalry on the eastern front had beaten the Yuezhi people back steadily.

The Yuezhi people had to abandon the summer grasslands at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and move further north to the Altai Mountains for rest.

The Qin army pursued them closely.

Luo Jia, who vowed to go all out to take the head of the Great Yuezhi King and avenge Bai Guangji, pursued him all the way along the Buxel pasture. The various tribes of the Great Yuezhi were divided and surrounded. When the Yuezhi King's headquarters arrived in the Altay area, they followed him

There are only less than 6,000 members of the tribe left.
