Chapter 496
Chen Qing nodded and said: "Now I have two headaches, I would like to ask Zhizhou for help!"

"Jiedu envoy, please speak!"

"One is the chief officer of each department. I am seriously short of people who can use it. It would be fine to use the backup officials of the state school, but I am really worried. It can be said that I know nothing about them."

Jiang Yanxian smiled slightly and said: "There is a solution. The Jiedushi can transfer local officials to serve as chief officials, and put these spare officials in various places as officials, so that it will be easier to observe their character and ability."

This method is good. Chen Qing has a good impression of several county magistrates and has long wanted to reuse them, such as Li Wanlou and Zhang Hong, the magistrate of Jichuan County, Wei Yun, the magistrate of Qin'an County, Wu Hongwei, the magistrate of Di Dao County, etc., indeed. A big shakeup is possible.

"This method is fine! I will write you a list later, and you can consider how to adjust it."

After solving a problem that gave him a headache, Chen Qing was in a good mood. He thought for a while and said: "The second problem is about Yang Yuanqing. I want to change him to a civilian job. How do you think it is better to arrange it?"

Jiang Yanxian told Chen Qing about Yang Yuanqing's problem in Ganquanbao. Yang Yuanqing's character is not bad, but just like Wu Jie, he is too loyal to the king. Once Chen Qing becomes self-reliant, his attitude will be dangerous. .

Therefore, in order to avoid turning his face in the future and hurting his friendship for many years, it is the best way to remove his military power in advance and reassign him to a civilian position.

Jiang Yanxian also agreed with Chen Qing's plan. He pondered for a moment and said, "I happen to be resigning. Either I will order him to take over the Qinzhou affairs, or I will set up another supervision and inspection department under the Jiedu Mansion to perform the supervision functions of the states and counties. Both roles are important, and he can choose one of the two."

Chen Qing nodded, "I'll find a chance to talk to him!"

In the afternoon, Chen Qing came to the barracks. He was going to inspect the situation of the army's farmland. Yang Yuanqing, as the director of military affairs, accompanied Chen Qing to inspect outside the city.

The military fields of the Xihe Army are about [-] hectares, mainly distributed in three places: the south bank of the Weihe River, the east bank of the Taoshui River, and the Hehuang Valley. are.

What Chen Qing inspected today was the [-] hectares of military fields on the south bank of the Weihe River.

Five hundred hectares is [-] mu. It covers an endless area and stretches for more than ten miles. Wheat and black beans are mainly planted.

It was early summer in April, the weather was slightly warm, but the wind was very cool, the breeze was blowing, and the fields were lush and green, which made people feel refreshed.

Chen Qing rode slowly along the field ridge, and Yang Yuanqing introduced to him, "There are a thousand field soldiers here, most of whom are veterans who have been wounded. It is difficult to fight, so we arrange them to field."

"Isn't it too much to cultivate fifty acres?"

"Actually, it's a group of two people. The two of them cultivate one hundred acres. They are usually relatively free, that is, they are a little busy during spring plowing, and they will send [-] soldiers to assist in harvesting. It's easy. I feel that they are not very tired. So far, no complaints from soldiers have been heard, which shows that they are generally satisfied."

"Has General Yang talked with them personally? Or did the commander say they are satisfied?"

"The humble staff have talked with them, at least [-] people have been interviewed."

Chen Qing nodded and said with a smile: "It's still General Yang who has the patience to interview thirty people. If it were me, three interviews would be enough."

Yang Yuanqing leaned forward and said: "That's a matter that the government has to take care of everything. It's not like a humble job. It's a full-time military job. This is the responsibility."

"General Yang has been in charge of various trivial military affairs for so many years. Have you ever thought about changing positions?"

Chen Qing said it very implicitly, but Yang Yuanqing understood that everyone wanted to mobilize him. Needless to say, he must have been dissatisfied with his unauthorized establishment of military relations with Wu Jie. Yang Yuanqing secretly sighed in his heart.

However, he had already realized that he had worked hard for so many years without credit, even if he was transferred, Chen Qing would not treat him badly.

He smiled slightly and said, "I'll listen to Dutong's arrangement!"

Chen Qing explained with a smile: "I transferred you for a reason. The Jiedu Mansion will be formally established, and military affairs will be brought under the control of the Military Cao Division under the Jiedu Mansion. It would be nonsense for you to continue serving as a Sergeant and join the army." , you must change the guard, I have considered three official positions, which one do you like?"

"Thank you, Dutong, for giving back the humble job choice!"

"You have followed me for so many years, how can I not consider your feelings? I have decided to appoint Zhang Xiao as Sima, but he still needs a deputy, that is, the secretary to join the army. There is currently a vacancy. This is one of your considerations. "

Yang Yuanqing felt chills in his heart, if he was appointed as Sima, it would be more or less the same, but he was a deputy secretary under Sima to join the army. There are many things, but he has no decision-making power. The decision-making power is in Sima's hands, and he is the commander alone!How could he become someone else's deputy, this position is hard for him to accept.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and asked again: "And then?"

Chen Qing knew that he would not agree to join the army as a recorder, he wanted to transfer Yang Yuanqing out of the army and transfer him to a civilian position, focusing on the following two positions, "The second choice is to take over Jiang Yanxian's position and serve as the governor of Qinzhou. "

'Know Qinzhou things? '

Yang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, "Dutong, this is a civil job, is a lowly job competent?"

"Your abilities and qualifications are enough. It's not surprising that you were transferred from a military position to a civilian position. Didn't I also serve as an official in Zhiyue Prefecture? The key depends on whether you are willing or not!"

Just as Yang Yuanqing was about to speak, Chen Qing waved his hand to stop him, "After listening to me, you can think about the third option."

"Please tell me all!"

"The third choice is to serve as the chief officer of the Supervision and Inspection Department, responsible for patrolling various states and counties, inspecting people's livelihood, and listening to people's opinions."

Yang Yuanqing understood in his heart that Chen Qing wanted to turn himself into a civil servant, so he nodded silently, "Let the humble officials think about it!"

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "Think carefully, and reply me in a few days!"

At dusk, Yang Yuanqing returned home unhappy, his wife Wei Su stepped forward to take off his coat, and seeing her husband was in a heavy mood, she asked, "Your husband has encountered something unhappy?"

Yang Yuanqing sighed and said, "I might have to take off my military uniform."

Wei Su asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"Chen Qing talked to me today and wanted to adjust my position. The reason is that the Jiedu Mansion will be formally established. The military affairs I am in charge of now will be under the jurisdiction of the Jiedu Mansion Army Cao Canjun. This reason is also correct, but it is not the real reason. I will not mention it. Forget it!"

"What does the Jiedu envoy want to transfer your husband to do?"

Yang Yuanqing sighed slightly, "He asked me to choose three positions, one is to serve as a secretary and join the army, I will definitely not do it, the other two are civilian positions, one is to know Qinzhou affairs, and the other is to be the chief supervisor, I can only choose two One, then you have to turn into a civilian job.”

Wei Su thought for a while and said, "My husband said that Wu Jie welcomes you at any time. If you don't want to leave the army, you can join him."

Yang Yuanqing smiled wryly and said: "Being under Wu Jie's command is too aggrieved. The civil officials in the Xuanfu Department of Sichuan and Shanxi can reprimand the generals, but they can only bear it. I really don't want to be bullied by civil officials."

"Since that's the case, wouldn't my husband know if the court will accept it if he is still in charge of knowing Qinzhou's affairs?"

"It should be admitted that with the supervising army in charge, the imperial court will not be too embarrassed to unify them. The officials he appoints will generally be recognized by the imperial court."

"Then choose Ren Zhizhou, my brother is still the county magistrate! You will be the magistrate, and it is easy to offend people when you are a supervisor. You, a good old man, can't do it."

Yang Yuanqing thought it would be good to know the state, maybe he could be transferred to the imperial court as an official in the future!

His mood gradually improved again.
