Jianghu I am the only one

Chapter 311

Ouyang Ye told Ran Yuehua about the idea of ​​taking the three passes of Yiyang before the main force of the Red Lotus Sect returned to Yu Province, and Ran Yuehua bluntly agreed.

"The three passes in Yiyang are formed by the confluence of Dabie Mountain and Tongbai Mountain. They are the boundary between Jing and Henan. They have been the main road for north-south communication since ancient times, and they are also important passes for military confrontation between the north and the south.

Winning the three passes in Yiyang will not only prevent the three major cult bandits from going south to Jing Province, but also facilitate our northward march to Henan Province. We should act as soon as possible. "

Hearing what Ran Yuehua said, Ouyang Ye should write to Jiang Bai, Yang Erqing, and Liu Sheng to explain the matter.

The reason why he wrote letters instead of directly giving orders was because Ouyang Ye knew that he could not form the habit of being good at military operations—not to mention that he did not have much military talent and accomplishment, but he did. Always go your own way and one day you will fail.

Therefore, he first sent a letter to the three of them to explain the matter, and only after they expressed no objection would he issue a formal order of action.

After Ouyang Ye wrote the letter and handed it over to Xuntang for delivery, Ran Yuehua said again: "Husband, after all, our gang now actually controls more than one province. Quite a lot.

That is to say, according to the previous plan of 'building high walls, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly', the name of the gang will not be changed for the time being, but the organizational structure and personnel level in charge of government affairs in the gang should be the same as the army was built before. Changed it. "

Ouyang Ye nodded when he heard the words, and said, "It's really time to change."

Ouyang Ye knew that he couldn't be unwilling to change the organization structure just because he changed it in the past - if he couldn't keep up with the changes of the times, the development of the gang would be hindered.

Just like dealing with government affairs, Ouyang Ye didn't know what Ran Yuehua did in the past three or four months. Anyway, in the past few days after he came back, he gradually took over various things from Ran Yuehua, and felt that the affairs were much more complicated than at the beginning of the year. Energy and brain power can be supported, but it can also feel boring.

It must be known that martial arts are the most respected in this world, and he also wants to pursue a higher realm of martial arts than innate, but he doesn't want to waste a lot of time on government affairs in the future.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Our government officials should be regarded as civil servants, right? So their ranks are easy to change, just change from the previous five-color nine-leaf system to nine-rank and eighteen-rank."

In this world, Dayu and the previous dynasty used rank nine and eighteen ranks, and this was true for both civil and military.

But first of all, Ouyang Ye was determined to take the line of elite soldiers, and secondly, he didn't want to engage in the traditional routine of Dayu's civil and military system, but planned to establish a clear separation of military and government.

As for the system of civil servants has also been changed to a system similar to the modernization of his previous life - unless he conquers the country in the future and does not want to engage in a feudal system, it will still be avoided.

As for saying not to implement the feudal system, but to implement the modern political system of later generations, it will not work in this world where martial arts are more prosperous.

The implementation of the political system of later generations needs a foundation, but this world does not have such a foundation at all.

After hearing what Ouyang Ye said, Ran Yuehua just nodded this time and didn't say much.

Because she felt that in this kind of political affairs, it was enough for her to remind Ouyang Ye, and if she continued to dictate how to act, she would be a little at a loss.

Although Ouyang Ye didn't know Ran Yuehua's inner thoughts, he also felt that since he had the knowledge of his previous life, it was better for him to think about changing the organizational structure of government affairs.

It's not too late to ask Ran Yuehua and the others to make suggestions and supplement when they figure it out.

···
Because Xiangyang City and Wa County are not too far from Wu County, Ouyang Ye received replies from Jiang Bai, Yang Erqing, and Liu Sheng one after another the next day.

In their letters, all three expressed their support for the proposal of "winning the three passes of Yiyang early".

When he wrote back, Yang Erqing had joined forces with Gao Qiang's Second Army in Yuwa County.

Therefore, he said in his letter that it would take only a few days to set up the framework of Wa County, the camp for attacking Anyongfu City, and then he would return to Xiangyang first to prepare for the attack on the three passes of Yiyang.

After reading the three people's replies, Ouyang Ye issued a formal edict to attack the three passes of Yiyang.

Along with this edict, there was another letter from Ouyang Ye to the three of them—in this letter, Ouyang Ye mentioned his idea of ​​reforming the government affairs organization, which was to let the three of them know first.

In the next few days, Ouyang Ye began to visit Wuxian, Yufu, Beijing, Jianshi, Babei and other surrounding counties in a micro-service.

One is to see how these counties are governed, and how well the people at the grassroots level implement the policies issued by the general helm.

The second is to get some inspiration for reforming government agencies through micro-service tours-government agencies are set up to deal with various current government affairs, and they cannot be based on fantasies and divorced from reality.

Although Kazebu and Yubu also contributed some information and materials in this regard, some things cannot be seen in paper and words, and must be experienced personally.

Ouyang Ye is traveling alone, so as long as it is not the destination (where the county is located), he will continue to use the Golden Goose Kung Fu to travel regardless of shocking the world.

This not only greatly shortened the time for him to travel to several counties, but also exercised his lightness kung fu—it should be noted that since he learned Jinyan Kungfu, he has never used this lightness kung fu to travel for a long time.

Ouyang Ye first went to Yufu County, which is closer to Wu County.

Ouyang Ye saw in the documents of the general rudder that because Yufu is located in the center of Chongqing Province, it is also surrounded by numerous mountains. Years of similar "stability, peace".

The government, the tyrants, and bandits restrict and collude with each other to oppress and exploit the local people. Although the people can survive without raising the flag to rebel, they live a miserable life.

The gang came with the second army, and directly defeated the power of the government, gentry, and bandits, and then re-selected those who met the criteria for the gang from among the managers of the three forces, and put them in appropriate positions , Such as the county magistrate, the master book, the third class of arresting the head, the sixth house pawn and so on.

Of course, such positions as county magistrates and inspectors, who hold the highest political power in a county and the positions of military generals in the county, must be done by "old" gangsters from gangs.

These people have just gathered together to manage the affairs of a county, and they may not be as proficient as the officials in Dayu's team before, but as long as they can avoid corruption, do not bully the people, and focus on doing practical things, compared with Da Yu. Yu Na's decadent governance is a great improvement.

At this time, Ouyang Ye stood outside the gate of Yufu City, and what he saw was completely different from before.

First of all, the guards of the city gates served by gang soldiers are working very energetically - some stand in two rows outside the city gate, holding weapons, ready to deal with enemy situations such as bandit attacks at any time; Or chariot.
There are also city fees, but they are only collected from merchants who have shipped more than a certain amount of goods, not from ordinary people and small merchants.

In fact, Ganbang has not made any innovations in county management for the time being, basically following Dayu's example.

However, the officials under the Ganbang government really followed the official system established by the Dayu court and benefited the country and the people. They abandoned those methods of creating names and exploiting the people, and the executors rarely used their power to oppress the people.

Just this makes the people feel relieved, and their support is born from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, most people are relatively slow to the changes of the current situation, as Ouyang Ye saw at the time:
After a businessman with a large cart of goods was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city gate, he couldn't help but stepped forward nervously, and secretly stuffed money into Shi Chang's hand while saying flattering words.

Because as far as the businessman knew in the past, most of the soldiers guarding the city gate wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail them, and if they wanted to avoid being blackmailed, they had to take the initiative to send money.

However, Na Shichang's face turned dark, and he pushed back the money secretly handed over by the merchant, and scolded him to stand aside, let the soldiers check the goods on the cart, and reported it to the clerk next to him.

Then, after the clerk with the abacus calculated the entry fee that should be paid for this cart of goods, the chief minister asked the vendor to pay.

The businessman couldn't help being amazed when he saw that the little silver he had paid was put into a large wooden box with a hole on the top and a locked door on the bottom.

He thought to himself: The officials of this gang are really different from those in the previous imperial court, they just don't take the opportunity to extort money from me, but they even put all the entrance fees that should be collected into the cash box that should be handed over to the county government. Is it true that you are not greedy for money?
Ouyang Ye saw the behavior of the soldiers at the city gate and the change in the merchant's expression, but he smiled.

Of course Ouyang Ye knew that the chief and the soldiers did not really love money, but that there were strict laws, effective supervision, and other precautions so that they did not dare to be greedy for money.

Immediately, seeing people standing around the notice on the city wall watching, Ouyang Ye also turned his attention to the notice...
