Mi Han

Shi Bao and Deng Ai were friends in Weishi.

In addition, since Deng Ai discovered Shi Bao, he did not show contempt for Shi Bao because he is now in a high position, so Shi Bao did not have much restraint in front of Deng Ai.

Shi Bao, who was secretly complaining in his heart, quickly stopped Deng Ai's call, and he said to Deng Ai: "Shi Zai, if you have any questions in your mind, you can speak up, you don't need to call me by my name."

If you continue to call it, I am too embarrassed to eat it.

Deng Ai didn't know what was going on in Shi Bao's heart, but he readily agreed to his friend's proposal.

Deng Ai signaled the guard on the side to hand over a bowl of water. After he took the water from the guard and handed it to Shi Bao, he immediately asked about Shi Bao's experience in recent days.

How did Shi Bao, who once had the reputation of "Shi Zhongrong, unparalleled", become this downcast appearance.

And why it has been a year since his letter was written, but Shi Bao has only just gone south now.

Hearing Deng Ai's question, Shi Bao took a mouthful of noodle cake first, and then hurriedly drank a mouthful of warm water, and then he watched Deng Ai tell what happened to him during this period.

It turned out that Shi Bao, as a county soldier from Yecheng, was sent back to Yecheng by Sima Yi after the two sides exchanged prisoners outside Jiyang city that day.

On the way back to Yecheng, Shi Bao took the opportunity to escape from the team.

As Shi Bao expected at the beginning, since his identity was not a soldier, his disappearance did not trigger a large-scale search by the Wei army.

Under such circumstances, Shi Bao went all the way south across the mountains to the outside of Xinye City.

But when Shi Bao came outside Xinye City, it was at the time when Mi Yang left Xinye to avoid Zhang Wen and other Jiangdong envoys, so Shi Bao rushed to the sky without any surprise.

But Shi Bao was not discouraged.

Mingzhu, it is normal to be difficult to chase.

Inspired by this mentality, Shi Bao went south again.

But since he had already eaten all the dry food on his body at that time, he could only go south while hunting all the way.

This is undoubtedly time consuming.

So when he arrived outside Xiangyang City in tattered clothes, Mi Yang led the army to leave Xiangyang City the day before.

After finding out the news, Shi Bao sighed incessantly.

He wasn't angry, he was angry because his speed to the south was too slow, it was barely a day away.

But Shi Bao is a very resilient person.

In history, he was unappreciated for his talents. After selling iron in Yecheng for several years without success, he turned to Chang'an to sell iron for several years, which shows the resilience in his heart.

Shi Bao with this personality, of course, will not give up the pace of chasing Mi Yang easily.

On the day when he knew that Mi Yang led the army back to Hanzhong, Shi Bao immediately set off from Xiangyang to Hanzhong.

And because he was not familiar with the road and the previous lessons, Shi Bao didn't waste time because of hunting along the way. He kept heading towards Hanzhong while asking for directions all the way.

With Shi Bao's perseverance, he finally managed to reach the outside of Nanzheng on the day Mi Yang arrived in Nanzheng.

It's just that it is understandable that Shi Bao, under such a situation, will behave like a starved ghost in front of Deng Ai now.

This is really chasing after the Lord.

Shi Bao answered in detail what happened to him during this period, but avoided talking about the reasons why he didn't go south in time.

Regarding Shi Bao's careful thinking, Deng Aiming did not expose it.

They both came from humble backgrounds, and each has the most unbearable past, so there is no need to get to the bottom of this point.

Deng Ai only showed admiration on his face after listening to Shi Bao's experience during this period of time.

Without knowing whether Mi Yang will be reused, he can still follow Mi Yang so firmly all the way, Deng Ai asked himself that he couldn't do it.

It was also fortunate that Shi Bao had his own letter in his hand, otherwise Shi Bao, who was acting suspiciously, might not have been brought to see him by the soldiers of the Han army.

Deng Ai picked up another piece of bread and handed it to Shi Bao. Looking at Shi Bao in front of him, Deng Ai seemed to think of himself before.

If he hadn't met Mi Yang, how much better would his current situation be than Shi Bao?
Deng Ai, who had empathy with Shi Bao in his heart, immediately comforted Shi Bao and said:

"No matter how wronged you have been before, now that you have found me, after a few days my affairs are finished, I will bring you to see the lord immediately."

Deng Ai's promise made Shi Bao's dirty face finally show joy.

After hearing that Deng Ai was busy with important matters in the past few days, Shi Bao couldn't help asking curiously: "Recently, the two armies have just stopped fighting, so why is Shi Zai busy for several days?"

Faced with Shi Bao's curiosity, Deng Ai felt that what he was busy with was not a secret, so he told Shi Bao what Mi Yang had ordered him to do.

After Shi Bao heard about Deng Ai's recent busy affairs, he couldn't help showing a strong envy on his face.

Shi Bao, who is proficient in military strategy, knows that the rotation system of soldiers can greatly boost morale.

Due to the importance of this matter, the person who can handle this matter must not only have requirements on his own ability, but also must be very trusted by the general.

At present, Deng Ai can take charge of this matter for Mi Yang, which shows Deng Ai's position in Mi Yang's heart.

Shi Bao couldn't help thinking of the Han army's attitude towards him after he was discovered by the Han army, but they treated him as a spy.

But just as he took out Deng Ai's autograph letter from his arms, after a group of Han soldiers learned that he might be Deng Ai's friend, the attitude of those Han troops towards him changed 180 degrees.

It can be seen from this that Deng Ai's prestige in Mi Yang's army is not low at all.

Both came from a poor family and are at the same age, but the life experiences between him and Deng Ai are as different as heaven and earth. How can this make Shi Bao not feel envious?

With envy in her heart, Shi Bao suddenly said to Deng Ai with emotion:
"Bohai Zhongrong is unparalleled, but there is still Deng Shizai in the world!"

After expressing these words, Shi Bao couldn't help but feel a strong desire:

I hope Liangzhou Mu will value him so much in the future!

It has been several days since Mi Yang returned to Nanzheng City.

In the past few days, Mi Yang has not been idle at all.

The newly established Liangzhou is like a start-up country, with too many things to take care of.

The most important of these is to establish Liangzhou's state government structure as soon as possible.

Liu Bei had an imperial court to assist him in governing the country's military affairs, and Liangzhou should also set up a state court to assist Mi Yang in controlling Liangzhou's military and political power.

The first important thing Mi Yang has to do in the next few days is to confirm the subordinate officials of the Zhou Dynasty.

Otherwise, even if he had many reform measures in mind, he would not be able to carry out any of them.

Fa Miao has been confirmed to be the most important official in the state court, and now it is time to decide who the other subordinate officials will be.

Although the post of prefectural pastor was not often established in the Han Dynasty, many officials related to prefectural pastors have been customized for hundreds of years.

Among the officials of the state shepherd, apart from Biejia's very important status and power, there is another position that is not at all less important than Biejia.

That is to engage in governance, referred to as governance.

When Wen Hui was appointed governor of Yangzhou, Cao Cao wanted to find a talented person to assist Wen Hui, so he said to Wen Hui, "Is there no reason why Jiang Ji can cure the evil?"

Later, Jiang Ji was appointed by Cao Cao as the Biejia of Yangzhou.

It can be seen from this that in the eyes of the world, sometimes Zhizhong and Biejia have equal power and status.

Apart from the example of Cao Wei, let’s just say that when Zhuge Liang was serving under Liu Bei, Pang Tong was in charge of Zhizhong. From this, we can know how high the status of Zhizhong is.

The difference between the two positions is that Biejia often goes out to inspect with the state shepherd, supervises the states and counties, and is the first conveyer of the state shepherd's will.

And Zhizhong is mainly in charge of the specific affairs of the state under the leadership of the state pastor.

It's just that the duties of the two cannot be simply divided, nor can they be limited to textual provisions.

The two are like the left and right hands of the state shepherd. They often participate in discussions on all major military and political affairs, and they don't make a clear distinction.

Don't drive is like the Zhongshu Province among the three central provinces of the later Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is mainly responsible for drafting documents for the state pastor and conveying orders to all the officials in the state for the state pastor.

And Zhizhong is like the Shangshu Province among the three provinces, responsible for commanding each Cao and undertaking various affairs.

Of course, in the current world, the nature of this authority in Biejia and Zhizhong was not very clear, it can only be said that there were some tendencies.

However, Mi Yang, who was determined to reform, deliberately drew on the advanced system of later generations, and clearly demarcated the boundaries of this kind of authority in Biejia and Zhizhi in advance.

Because of this kind of thinking in my heart, coupled with the importance of the post of Zhizhong, the candidates for Zhizhong are very important.

This person must have strong executive power and be loyal to Mi Yang, otherwise the idea in Mi Yang's heart cannot be realized.

In the end, Mi Yang decided to recruit Lu Yi as the governor of Liangzhou.

Needless to say, Lu Yi's executive power in government affairs.

After the first battle in Xicheng, the reason why Mi Yang was able to lead the army to attack Wudang without distraction was thanks to Lu Yi who took care of everything for him in the rear.

What's more, Lu Yi was originally his Hanxing county magistrate, and it is reasonable and reasonable to be promoted from a county magistrate to a state government.

After deciding on the candidate for good governance, Mi Yang was a little worried about the candidate for the director.

Among the subordinate officials of the state, the position of the master book is second only to Biejia and Zhizhong.

Although the rank of the master is lower than that of Biejia and Zhizhong, compared to Biejia who sometimes takes the place of Zhou Mu to tour the counties, the master is the one who is always by Zhou Mu's side.

Due to this characteristic of the master book, the master book is often the confidant of the state shepherd, and the master book has a lot of room for promotion.

For example, Wen Hui, who was originally the director of Cao Cao, became the governor of Yangzhou as soon as he was released.

Another example is because of Mi Yang's own case, now there is a saying in all the counties of the Han Dynasty: "It is better to be a master than a county magistrate."

The power of role models is infinite. Under the influence of Mi Yang, many Han scholars now regard the position of master book as the best post after official career.
In addition to the particularity of the position of the chief bookkeeper, it is also because in Mi Yang's conception, the chief bookkeeper of Liangzhou should assume the responsibility of the descendants of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

The master of Liangzhou should not only hold the key points with Biejia and Zhizhong, discuss state affairs together, but also be responsible for reviewing state orders, and dare to point out his mistakes when necessary.

After all, Mi Yang is not a god, and he will make mistakes sometimes.

Therefore, from the overall situation, it is very necessary to give the registrar the power to review state orders and think that it is necessary to take precautions.

The three provinces each perform their duties, and the organizational structure of mutual checks and balances has been verified in later generations.

It can be regarded as an organizational structure that is both in line with the national conditions and very advanced in the current world.

Because of the importance and particularity of the master book, Fa Miao kept proposing several candidates, all of which were rejected by Mi Yang.

Finally, after much deliberation, Mi Yang planned to let Deng Ai be his chief bookkeeper.

Although Deng Ai's political EQ is not high, perhaps it is precisely because of his characteristics that he dares to point out Mi Yang's omissions when necessary.

He used to do this often.

Apart from this reason, what Mi Yang valued was Deng Ai's loyalty to him.

Those who have the right to object to his orders must be extremely loyal to him.

Only in this way can we guarantee that all the objections raised by that person are for my own good.

Mi Yang properly carried out some reforms on the official system of the state court, thinking about improving the administrative efficiency of the state court, not to let people with ulterior motives use it as a means to restrain him.

After deciding on the candidates for Haozhizhong and the chief secretary, Mi Yang asked Fa Miao to write two formal recruitment documents first.

Then he issued another order.

That is to attribute most of Cao in the state capital to the jurisdiction of Zhizhong.

Zhizhong is similar to the Shangshu Province of later generations, and the functions of the later Shangshu Province are mainly carried out by the six departments under his jurisdiction.

The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishments, and the Ministry of Industry.

But many people may not know that as early as the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, some names of the six parts appeared.

For example, Xu Yun, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who valued Shi Bao very much.

It's just that the names of these six ministries have not yet become popular in the world, and Mi Yang does not plan to directly set up six ministries in Liangzhou, because it is unnecessary.

Although the Six Parts were not popular in the Han Dynasty, there were Cao Caos.

Meritorious Cao: appointment and promotion of officials in charge, performance appraisal.

Cangcao: In charge of warehouses, rents, markets, weights and measures, etc.

Hucao: In charge of household registration, fields and houses and other affairs.

Bing Cao: In charge of military affairs.

Fa Cao: In charge of criminal law.

Shi Cao: in charge of transportation and construction.

There are all kinds of Caos, and their functions cannot be said to be similar to the six departments of later generations, which is basically a state of overlap.

It can be said that the six departments of the later generations came from the departure of the Cao Caos in the Han Dynasty. If this is the case, why did Mi Yang go to the trouble of setting up the six departments?
Mi Yang only needs to formally issue documents to bring all these Caos under Zhizhong.

As for this point, it is reasonable and reasonable, because in the official system of the Han Dynasty, the original Cao Caos were scattered in Biejia and Zhizhong and administered separately.

Of course, it is impossible for Mi Yang to hand over all the Caos to Zhizhong, otherwise the power of Zhizhong will be too great.

For example, Gongcao, whose name is Cao, is actually an important position that is as important as his job, so Mi Yang will separate him out and be directly responsible to himself.

There is also Bing Cao, an official office that nominally controls the military in the state, and it is impossible for Mi Yang to give him such great power.

Soldiers who do not have much combat effectiveness, such as county soldiers and county soldiers, can be under the jurisdiction of Bing Cao, who is responsible for capturing thieves and maintaining law and order in the territory at ordinary times, similar to the police in later generations.

As for the military power of the group of soldiers used to fight, Mi Yang must firmly and directly hold it in his hands.

An army of tens of thousands is the greatest confidence for Mi Yang to carry out drastic reforms.
