Wuchuan.
The strong wind came and roared, but it did not affect the noise in the city at all.
The roads in the city were crowded with people, and all kinds of carriages were parked on the roadside, some of which could not even be parked.
It was as if a bunch of people were dropped into the city out of thin air. There was no free space in the entire city, and there were seas of people everywhere, bustling with people.
The military households in Wuchuan opened the door and stared blankly at the situation outside, amazed.
One person stuck his head out, looked outside, and then closed the door helplessly.
A young man was eating barbecue in the courtyard. When he saw the man coming back, he asked, "Brother, are there still so many people outside?"
"There are more people than yesterday. Wuchuan hasn't seen so many people in many years. It's really scary."
The young man giggled, "The city can no longer accommodate so many people. I heard from people that temporary camps have been set up outside the city for them to stay. I'm afraid the banquet cannot be held in the official office. Hahaha, maybe
It has to be done on the school grounds.”
The man nodded, "That's probably what's going to happen."
The general returned to his Wuchuan, and he brought many people with him.
Of course, just the people he brought back would not be enough to turn Wuchuan into such an impenetrable state. The main reason was that the general was going to hold a banquet.
Officials and generals from all over the country had to come to Wuchuan to attend the banquet.
Listening to the noise on the street, the young man said with envy on his face, "Brother, why are you so unsatisfied? If you can make some achievements and go to the banquet with you, I can follow you to see the general!"
"
The man glanced at him and said, "If you don't think the barbecue is delicious, I have some sticks and rocks here that I can feed you."
The young man chuckled and continued to chew the meat.
On the road outside the house, carriages could no longer pass. The coachmen dared not speak out in anger, and no one could tell whose carriage and horse were in front. After all, they were all dignitaries, and they were relatively polite to each other.
Both inside and outside the government office were already busy.
Officials were coming in and out, and the doors were no longer sufficient at the moment.
Once again, several walls of the official office were demolished because it could not accommodate so many people.
In the courtyard, Zu Jue stroked his beard and looked around calmly.
"As expected, the banquet still has to be held in the school grounds. The government office cannot accommodate so many people."
"Wuchuan also needs to be replaced. It is too small and remote to be used as a capital."
The civil servant on the side suddenly raised his head and asked with a blank look on his face: "What did Grandfather say?"
"Oh, I said Wuchuan is not a good place to open a government."
"Okay, get ready quickly. The banquet will start soon, so we can't delay."
"only!!"
The clerk left quickly, and Zu Jue walked toward the inner room with a smile.
Everyone under Liu Taozi's command was summoned to this banquet, which was nominally to celebrate Liu Taozi's knighthood.
But in fact, this banquet is a big meeting, about personnel arrangements, future work, and most importantly, the opening of the government.
Zu Jue is full of confidence in this.
As soon as he reached the front of the inner room, he heard noises in the distance. A strong man pushed away the people in front of him, rushed forward, squeezed out of the road, and walked to the front of the house. He saw something on the side.
Zu Jue suddenly raised his head and bumped into him.
Zu Jue couldn't dodge and was hit hard by the opponent. Zu Jue stumbled and fell to the ground.
Zu Jue raised his head and looked at the strong man displeased.
The strong man lowered his head, as if he had just seen Zu Jue, "Oh!"
He hurriedly helped Zu Jue up, "No wonder, no wonder, I was in such a hurry that I didn't see you."
Zu Jue asked slowly: "But General Yao Xiong?"
"It's me, it's me, but Grandpa Zujue?"
"Oh? General Yao Xiong also knows me?"
"I know, I know, Kou Liu told me about you before. My brother, thanks to my grandfather for taking care of me!! Thank you! Thank you so much!!"
Yao Xiong immediately reached out and patted Zu Jue's shoulder several times.
Zu Jue gritted his teeth in pain.
Qihu was clearly helping Kou Liu to vent his anger on him.
Zu Jue, who has always been eloquent and eloquent, did not rush to ridicule when faced with this Qi Hu. Damn it, there will be plenty of opportunities to tease you in the future!
Yao Xiong ignored him and walked into the house.
"Brother!!!"
The house was extremely lively.
Zu Jue followed closely behind, and there were five or six people standing in the room now, all of whom were old people from Cheng'an. Lu Qubing was sitting aside, and the rest were standing, and everyone was enjoying themselves.
Zu Jue stood not far away and didn't bother him.
Liu Taozi saw him and signaled him to come forward.
Zu Jue stepped forward, Lu Qubing, Tian Zili, Kou Liu, Yao Xiong, Chu Jiande and others immediately fell silent and stopped talking.
"Lord, I have already made arrangements and it can be carried out tomorrow."
"Well, very good."
Zu Jue raised his head at this moment and said with a smile: "My lord, Mr. Tian and I have different opinions on the issue of seating."
"explain."
Zu Jue hurriedly said: "Tian Gong is responsible for the seat arrangement. I have seen it. Tian Gong is divided into civil and military seats. The civil officers are headed by Lu Gong, and the military officers are headed by General Bao."
Tian Zili immediately interrupted him, "What's wrong with this? Lu Gong was once our division commander and the one we admired the most. Even a man like Wei Gong who served in the third division is now white and is not qualified to sit. As for
Military general, General Bao is a general of chariots and cavalry. His official position is higher than that of my brother. Is there anything wrong with him taking the first place?"
Zu Jue shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that the ranking is wrong, it's that the classification is wrong."
Hearing this sentence, Tian Zili was very puzzled, "Classification??"
Zu Jue looked at Liu Taozi and continued: "My lord, now that you have opened a mansion, you must make full use of the advantages of opening a mansion."
"When you open a government, you can set up your own officials, and you can have your own officials."
"This seat should be divided into government officials and Daqi officials."
Yao Xiong was confused. He gently pulled Kou Liu down and asked, "What is he talking about?"
Tian Zili and Lu Qubing naturally understood.
After officials have the privilege of opening a government, they can recruit officials on their own to serve as good assistants. These people regard the general who opened the government as their lord and eat his salary, while the remaining officials eat the salary of Daqi, and they are still Daqi in name.
of officials.
Zu Jue said calmly: "In the future, the general will be responsible for many things, and we cannot just rely on local officials to maintain them."
"A general must have his own ministers. To put it simply, he must have his own three stations and his own ministries."
"Temple officials and local officials must be separated."
Yao Xiong suddenly realized this.
Isn’t this just setting up a small imperial court?
Liu Taozi nodded lightly. Zu Jue's words were not too much. After all, the owner of the mansion had such privileges and could have his own team.
Lu Qubing and Tian Zili looked at each other, Lu Qubing lowered his head and said nothing.
In the past, every time when powerful ministers wanted to usurp the country, they would use this method to create their own team in the name of opening a government and set up a small court. Then as soon as they ascended the throne, the small court immediately turned into a real court.
This was the routine used by Wei Wu, Jin Wu and others back then.
Now that Liu Taozi's sphere of influence is relatively large, he can no longer govern so many areas alone. He needs a centralized group of officials.
Zu Jue immediately took out the watch and put it aside.
"My lord, this is my proposal. According to the power to open the government, the generals should have a long history, one commander each, two lieutenants, twenty-nine subordinates, and thirty-one imperial subordinates!"
"The chief historian makes plans, Sima formulates orders, and is responsible for the work of the Zhonglang, who controls the subordinates. There are twenty-nine subordinates, and six people are selected to serve as officials, subordinates, governors, rituals, soldiers, and all officials.
The other twenty-three subordinates are located under the subordinate subordinates, serving as Lang and Cheng."
Lu Qubing was frightened when he heard this, and Tian Zili looked shocked when he heard it.
What is the history of General Wei, you are General Wei's Shizhong, General Wei Sima is General Wei Zhongshu Ling, and General Wei's engagement has become General Wei Shangshu Ling, General Wei's deputies have become six ministers, and the rest of the officials are
Became a clerk of the minister
Everything is legal and reasonable, the name is still the same, there is nothing arrogant in it, but a small centralized court has been formed directly around General Wei.
The room was very quiet. No one spoke.
Zu Jue was particularly satisfied with this effect. With all these young people, they couldn't even fight for him.
He looked at Liu Taozi again and said with a smile: "My lord, people like Lu Gong, Tian Jun, and Cui Jun outside are still young after all and have no qualifications in the temple. If my lord wants to go to the palace, they will be the ones to serve."
I am afraid that the local governor and governor will not allow it easily, and some people may mistakenly think that the lord is disloyal to the temple."
"Therefore, these people can enter the government and serve as officials."
"Lu Gong can serve as the Guard General and Sima, while Tian Jun and Cui Jun can serve as officers. The other positions can also be promoted by your closeness."
Zu Jue did not mention the position of Chang Shi. Obviously, this position was reserved for himself.
"As for local officials, people like Yi Lou Gong, Yuan Gong, Wei Gong, Baolao General, Pi General, Shi Jun and others can all serve as governors."
"As for people like Wei Shou, they are not suitable to be released as officials. It is best to stay in the government as officials."
Tian Zili felt a little frustrated at the moment. Looking at Zu Jue talking eloquently in front of Liu Taozi, he felt a little powerless for a moment. He had discovered these problems long ago, but he was still thinking about it, but the other party had already given it to him.
Got the answer.
Could it be that the gap between me and him is so big?
Zu Jue stood next to Liu Taozi at this moment and told her many plans for appointment and dismissal.
Tian Zili sighed softly.
Lu Qubing smiled and took his hand, "Zili, don't sigh, come closer and learn from your grandfather."
"My grandfather is not of good character, but for this talent, there are few rivals in the world. So Prime Minister Yang may be able to compete with him. Study hard, and one day you will be able to solve my father's problems."
Tian Zili then raised his head.
They discussed in the house all day long.
The next day, Wuchuan South Campus became extremely lively.
Outside the school grounds, patrolling soldiers were everywhere. They occupied various places, holding crossbows and looking around vigilantly.
The South Campus was temporarily transformed into a huge 'main hall'.
Well, the decoration is extremely simple and has no dignity.
Not to mention comparing it with Yecheng or Shuocheng, it looks unworthy.
Liu Taozi sat in the upper position. He was currently wearing an exquisite royal crown. As a prince of Da Qi, his clothes were not arrogant. The whole clothes were pitch black, with various beasts embroidered on them. Around his waist were
Jade belt, wearing Gaowang sword.
His seat was very simple, but when he sat on it, it actually looked a little different.
The whole person is majestic and majestic.
The officials sat on the left and right respectively.
Lu Qubing, Tian Zili, Cui Gang, Chu Jiande, Zu Jue, Wei Shou, Yuan Xiubo, Tang Yong, Lu Sidao, Shi Daozhi, Cheng Zhe, Gao Mai, Zhang Chong, Changsun Kasyapa
Bao Xian, Pi Jinghe, Yi Lou, Wei Juan, Shi Yao, Yao Xiong, Kou Liu, Zhang Heizu, Po Duoluo Ku, Liu Chengcai, Tu Xi Yue, Yan Heitai, Li Qinhu, Xu Zhicai, He Bacheng
,Dugu Festival
When Liu Taozi looked at it like this, she couldn't even see her head. It was so vast.
Zu Jue stood up first, looked at everyone, and then looked at Liu Taozi.
"Congratulations to the general on his promotion to the rank of nobility!!"
Only then did everyone stand up and salute Liu Taozi, "Congratulations General!!"
Everyone spoke in unison, and the sound was deafening.
Even though this case, this station, the surrounding fences, etc. are all so simple, at this moment, this simplicity is completely covered up by the passion of everyone.
Liu Taozi motioned for everyone to sit down.
Only then did he say: "Fortunately, Your Majesty appreciates me and gives me the title of Duke and entrusts me with important tasks."
"Today you are willing to follow me, manage the border fortress with me, repel foreign enemies, make achievements, and display your ambitions. It is really my great fortune."
"Today, the world is in a state of exhaustion, with powerful enemies outside and traitors within. This is the time for our people with lofty ideals to work hard to stabilize the world, support the country, and save the people of the world."
"I would like to encourage you all!"
Liu Taozi raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Want to follow the general!!"
Everyone shouted and drank immediately.
The banquet was officially begun, and Liu Taozi was the first to give rewards and promotions.
Bao Xian was appointed as the governor of Yanzhou, Pi Jinghe was appointed as the governor of Anzhou, and Yao Xiong was appointed to guard the Yanzhou frontier. Following Bao Xian, Zhang Heizhu was appointed to follow Pi Jinghe in Anzhou, Kou Liu was appointed to Shuozhou, and Po Duoluo Ku
Based in Hengzhou.
There was no shortage of local officials in Liu Taozi. Many officials came to Liu Taozi and left many people in the local area. Gao Rui also recommended a group of people to him.
After the appointments of local officials were completed, the appointments of government officials began to be read out.
Zu Jue, Tian Zili, Lu Qubing, Cui Gang and others were all included in the government officials and became "ministers of the temple", which were different from other local officials.
Only then did everyone realize that their seats were distinguished, and were divided according to government officials and local officials.
The general is really going to rebel!!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is arranging a small court for himself under the premise of legality.
It's just that the temple is getting weaker and weaker now, and Liu Taozi has long had a tendency to sit on the sidelines. The temple couldn't control it in the past, and it can't control it now.
Liu Taozi not only gave them formal appointments, but also gave them many rewards.
Finally, he did not forget to remind everyone that under his rule, the law must be strictly enforced and must not be violated!
After talking about these important appointments, Zu Jue came out again, this time he began to discuss the governance of various places and other matters.
This time, he came out as General Guard Commander Shi.
It's actually very simple to say.
There are only three things to do now.
The first is to grant land, and we must actually grant land.
The second is the study room. Open more study rooms and set up a more complete assessment mechanism to select the real talents.
The third is the military government, which combines soldiers and civilians, implements the military government system, changes the original military system, and recruits strong farmers to form an army.
But under these three major events, there are many smaller things subdivided. For example, land granting includes punishing local temples, taking back many mines, ensuring the safety of farmers from officials, etc.
However, the situation in each place is different, which requires the 'temple' to continue to connect with the local areas.
After talking about these serious topics, the banquet became more relaxed.
People can talk to each other and get to know each other.
People often come to toast Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi's face still looked a little cold and not friendly enough, so he was not suitable for such a lively atmosphere.
Just when everyone was talking to each other and the scene was particularly lively, a soldier walked in quickly.
The soldier ran all the way to Liu Taozi's side and whispered something.
Liu Taozi frowned. Zu Jue was the first to notice the strangeness and hurriedly walked to Liu Taozi's side.
"Lord? What happened?"
"A warrior camp of more than 600 people has arrived and has just entered Shuozhou."
"ah??"
“Why did the Warrior Battalion come to Shuozhou??”
"They said they came to take over many garrison towns outside Shuozhou to resist the Zhou people."
"You send some soldiers over to take their place in garrisoning the town, and let the warriors from the camp come directly to Wuchuan."
Zu Jue suddenly realized, oh, it was the man sent by the old lady.
He looked at the school grounds again. The school grounds were very lively and full of talented people, including Zu Jue. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but feel excited and felt that great things could be expected.
"Lord, we have to move the capital."
"What?"
"Well, Wuchuan is too small and too remote. I think General Wei's Mansion can be located in Pingcheng."
"Pingcheng is the center of various places. The city is large and there are ready-made palaces in it, which can be used directly."
Chapter completed!
