I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 537, the cone is in the bag

After this rural inspection, Xu Wei found that Dagan's village is not as beautiful as he imagined. No matter how good the policy he formulated, someone must implement it. What Dagan lacks now is the implementation of Xu Wei. The grassroots officials of the will.

At the same time, Xu Wei also understood why Dagan's textile industry entered a bottleneck period so quickly. How could a village like Hanshan Village have much cloth consumption capacity, but now most of the villages in Dagan are the same as Hanshan Village. There are only a few million workers in the textile industry. Naturally, such a textile market cannot be large.

However, it is obviously impossible to develop industrialization with a large scale. It is obviously impossible to follow the old road of Great Britain. It can only take the road of expanding domestic demand. Now expanding the land by three times the population is equivalent to expanding the means of production by three times the population. Let the people accumulate wealth faster.

The high-level officials of Dagan were persuaded by Xu Wei, and everyone discussed and decided to use Yuyang County as a pilot first. The land in Yuyang County with less than [-] mu of land can make up to [-] mu.

But in the desert grassland, this is even simpler. The entire desert is full of pastures, and these pastures do not need infrastructure construction. It is only necessary to expand the herdsmen's family pastures in proportion!The whole Daqian only needs to send some staff to measure the land to go to the desert!
After the pilot project was decided, Xiang Kai said: "Government, since Yuyang County has been used as a pilot county, we should arrange a senior person to complete the idea of ​​governance. You must know that collecting villages and relocating people are not easy things to do. Especially to ask the people to give up their houses and land!"

Xu Wei also felt that it made sense, so he asked, "Are there any talented officials under your command that you can recommend?"

Niu Gui said: "Zhuo County Magistrate Zhao Gui is an old member of my cadres. He came from Litian. He has been doing things sincerely and without any mistakes over the years. Moreover, because he is an expert in farming, every time he Where the government is in charge, the food production will gradually increase, and the prestige among the tribesmen is also very high, and now the government wants to merge the villages and divide the land, Zhao Gui should be the most suitable candidate!"

Then Xu Wei asked Jia Xu to find Zhao Gui's resume. He was really Xu Wei's old tribe. He followed Xu Wei from Jizhou to Bingzhou, and followed Xu Wei to fight horse thieves in Mayi. This is an ordinary resume, but when he becomes a villager A small team leader, the grain output of the team he led was [-]% higher than the others, so it can be said that he has farming skills.

Then, because of Daqian's Litian policy, after training, he was appointed as the head of the township, and then he brought his farming skills to the various places he was in charge of. important food producing area.

Now Zhao Gui has been the magistrate of Zhuo County for three years. Even though he became the magistrate, he has not changed his true colors. It is said that he often inspects the fields in the countryside, and his inspection is different from other people who just stand on the shore. Zhao Gui Really will take off the boots.Follow the people under his rule to plant fields, transplant rice seedlings, and use his own methods to guide everyone to have a good harvest. It can be said that Zhao Gui is not so much an official as an agricultural technical expert.

But it is Zhao Gui's style that allows him to quickly become one with the local people, and the people also believe in him as a farming expert!
Xu Wei nodded in satisfaction after reading Zhao Gui's resume. He has become a county magistrate and will go to the fields to mingle with the people. Zhao Gui is also a person who has never changed his mind. skill!

At this time, Xiangkai said: "The old man also has a candidate to recommend to the ruling party, that is, Xizhong from Yingchuan! He is now the county magistrate of Quan County. At the beginning, I started the banknote run because he discovered Treasure Island, and it quickly subsided. !"

In fact, there is no need for Xiang Kai to introduce, everyone present knows Xi Zhong's name, after all, Xi Zhong became famous all over the world because of the discovery of Treasure Island last year.

Xi Zhong and the others actually brought back five shipments of gold and silver with salt. The profit from this trip alone was more than a hundred times. The meritorious service he made was appointed as the county magistrate of Quan County.

During this period, Daqian territory expanded rapidly, as long as talented people were promoted faster, and last year's paper currency turmoil could not be said to be quelled by Xi Zhong, but he found that Treasure Island did speed up the quelling of the incident. Huge credit, and everyone doesn't think that Xi Zhong is not qualified to be the prefect now!
Jia Xu came with information about Xizhong. He became an official in the imperial examination. After becoming an official, he also took the initiative to go to Liaodong to become an official in the army. In more than a year, the development of Xizhong’s army was better than that of ordinary villages. The population doubled even more. Because of his outstanding political achievements, he was promoted to be the director of a 600-shi salt factory. Then, a year later, because of the discovery of Treasure Island, which brought prosperity to the people of Quanxian County, he was promoted exceptionally to Quanxian County. magistrate.

If this is the case, everyone just thinks that Xi Zhong was lucky, and he discovered Treasure Island when he was selling salt, which is not considered ability!

But in the second year, everyone tried their best to cross the strait and come to Wodao to pan for gold.

But Xi Zhong is not like this, he asked the people of the whole county to prepare a lot of food and cloth, pots and pans, and all kinds of gold mining tools!Everyone doesn't understand why this is done.But because of his high prestige, everyone still followed him.

At this time, the temptation of the gold mines brought hundreds of thousands of people to Wajima in less than a year. Survival supplies for many people, the price of the entire Japanese island skyrocketed for a while!
At this time, Xizhong's fleet came to Wa Island. The food, cloth, pots and pans, and various gold pans on the fleet were purchased by these gold diggers at ten times or even dozens of times the price, so these gold pans Xi Zhong and the others basically earned all the gold that the guest worked so hard to find!

Seeing this resume, Xu Wei was surprised and said: "He is really a great talent. He has been promoted all the way, and his political achievements are also exceptional. He became the county magistrate in less than 5 years. Even the old people in Mayi They are very rare! Especially the gold earned by the gold diggers, it can be said that all the income of the gold diggers in Wajima has been collected for a year, I am afraid that he is the only one who can think of this in the whole Dagan!"

This is the legendary you panning for gold, I sell gold panning tools, and finally the boss who sells gold panning tools gets rich!
Others have always admired what Xi Zhong did on Wa Island. This should be an exhaustive strategy in the legend!He completely calculated what was going to happen in Wajima, which allowed Xizhong to earn the most lucrative profit!
Compared with the outstanding Xizhong, Zhao Gui is a bit mediocre, and it can even be said that this Xizhong surpasses most of the high-ranking officials in terms of talent alone!From Xu Wei's point of view, this Xizhong's political ability is probably 90 points in the game. Logically speaking, such a person should be a historical celebrity, but the name Xizhong is very strange to Xu Wei, and he has never heard of it?
Could it be that he met a political genius who was buried by history? Xu Wei thinks it is very possible, because the great man in history experienced various natural and man-made disasters. By this time, the population was only about [-] million, but now there are [-] million. The population has almost doubled, and within this doubling, there is a great possibility that there will be counselors and generals who died tragically but are now alive, and this Xizhong might be one of them!

Xiang Kai continued: "Besides, Xizhong is originally the county magistrate of Quanxian County. He has a very high prestige in Quanxian County, even in the entire Yuyang County. The local people believe in Xizhong who can bring them benefits. Letting Xi Zhong become the prefect of Yuyang County now can quickly make the people of Yuyang agree with Xi Zhong and lay a solid foundation for the pilot project of governance!"

After hearing this, Xu Wei said: "Since this Xizhong is so talented and has prestige in Yuyang, then appoint him as the prefect of Yuyang County, and let him start the pilot work as soon as possible!"

It seems that Xi Zhong's resume and Niu Gui are hard to say anything, after all, everyone can see who is better, so everyone said in unison: "No!"

In October of the second year of Jian'an (AD 197), Yuyang, Quan County!
"The prefect of Yuyang County!" Xi Zhong was excited as soon as he got the letter of appointment. The prefect of 2000 shi is one of the few high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty. It can be said that as long as he becomes the prefect, he will become the top [-] senior officials in the world.

In the big Han family, only when there is a prefect in the family can it be regarded as an aristocratic family. At the same time, because the prefect has the right to recommend, he can install his own protégés and old officials in the court. By recommending each other, a family is born in this way, so the appearance of a prefect in the family is the threshold for entering the family!
Of course, Dagan doesn’t pay much attention to recommendation now, but Dagan is more energetic. Xizhong is less than [-] years old and comes from a poor family. With this kind of background, it is impossible for a big man to be a prefect, but now he can not only To become a prefect, you can even go one step further. In the future, you may have the opportunity to become a state shepherd, or even Dagan is a minister of various ministries, and may even be the prime minister of Dagan!

Prime Minister, this is a position where he can truly govern the world!Xi Zhong admired their ruling mind very much. During the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, the Han emperors had seized very little of the power of the prime minister. In this dynasty, the emperor Shizu even replaced the right of the prime minister with the Sangong, making the Sangong a figurehead.

But in Dagan Shangshu Ling's power is greater than that of the Han Dynasty at any time, even comparable to the prime minister in the pre-Qin period, commanding all officials, and only responsible for ruling!Therefore, Xi Zhong is full of ambitions for the position of Shang Shuling. Niu Gui, a knight-errant, can become a powerful Shang Shuling. Why can't the top students of Yingchuan Academy replace him as Xi Zhong?

But now that he has become the prefect of Yuyang County, he has gone one step further by becoming the minister. Yuyang has taken on the task of the pilot this time, and it must be a great achievement to do well, so he can continue to move forward!
For a moment, Xi Zhong felt that his body was full of strength!
But after the excitement, Xi Zhong looked at Jia Xu who came to deliver the appointment and apologized: "I made Jia Canjun laugh!"

Jia Xu smiled lightly and said, "Becoming a prefect before the age of [-] is rare among big men, even the top aristocrats. It is understandable that the prefect is so excited!"

At this time, although the noble families of the big Han have solidified their class, they still have to show face at this time. Unless they make military achievements, otherwise there will be no [-]-year-old prefect, [-]-year-old Sangong Jiuqing, like Yuan Shao in Sangong. At the age of ten, he was just a general's staff officer, and Cao Cao also experienced the official positions of Lang Guan, county magistrate, school lieutenant, etc., starting from the grassroots, no matter how fast they were promoted, there was still a process.

After a few hundred years, when the world's powerful and noble families are completely shameless, even a newborn baby can become the prefect and state shepherd!The official position of the imperial court has completely become a plaything in the hands of the nobles, and the children of the poor can only become the subordinates of these nobles, and any credit they make belongs to these nobles, so the order of the world has completely collapsed!

Jia Xu waited for Xi Zhong to be excited and said: "The ruling said that this pilot project is related to the national policy after the big work, and the burden on all the Xi prefects is very heavy!"

Xi Zhong also said seriously: "Xi Zhong will definitely not disappoint the ruling party!"

Jia Xu continued: "If you have any difficulties, you can talk about it now, and I can report to the ruling party!"

Xi Zhong also said unceremoniously: "First, there must be enough officials. Even if the villages are combined, Yuyang will not have fewer officials, or even more officials. According to the ruling plan, the village can already be said to be a The county seat, and a county must have a county magistrate, a master, a county lieutenant, and six Cao officials. It can be said that the villages in the ruling plan need dozens to hundreds of officials to manage each! So Yuyang needs There are 500 grassroots officials!"

Jia Xu laughed dumbly and said, "With so many officials, can Yuyang County afford the financial expenses?"

There were hundreds of officials in Yuyang, and now with the addition of Xi Zhongyao officials, there are almost a thousand officials in a county of Yuyang. This plan is equivalent to the officials of a state in Dahan!Of course, there is no distinction between officials and officials, so it seems that there are a lot of officials. Although there are few officials in the Han Dynasty, the central government and the local government may only have 2 to 3, but they still have 10 times as many small officials as officials. From this aspect It is said that the officials of Dahan are not much less than Dagan!But even so, the appearance of thousands of officials in one county is still too exaggerated!

But Xi Zhong said firmly: "As long as you don't overstaff people, but do things with your heart, the more officials there are, the tighter the imperial court will control the localities, and the more taxes the imperial court will receive. Naturally, thousands of officials can be supported! After all, the big village is a new thing, and it is not known whether we will treat it as a county town or a village, so I have to prepare early!"
