The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

"How to use these people? If they are suddenly used, there is no suitable position, and they are afraid that their talents will not be used." Judging from their names, these people were all good officials when they were in Beixiang, at least better than the second uncle. The location is high. Song Yingkui wanted to use it, but the position given to them was too important, and the existing bureaucrats would first get into trouble.

"Isn't there a secretariat around the commander? Let them get used to the secretariat first, get in touch with political affairs, and then use them according to their talents! They may not be given high positions at the beginning. The faster they adjust, they will be able to take on heavy responsibilities in a few years. ." The second uncle had many ways to promote people, and he came up with a plan without even thinking about it.

"Okay! The missionary order is to recruit these people to Yinzhou first. By the way, uncle, now we occupy several large states such as Yinzhou, Wazhou, Qinzhou, Lintao, etc., and then use Yungu's The name is no longer appropriate, what should we change it to?" Seeing that his second uncle wanted to talk, Song Yingkui asked the question that troubled him the most.

"Indeed, it is no longer appropriate to use the name Yungu! How about the commander calling himself the Jiedushi of Xisu? Open the Jiedu Mansion!"

Xisu Jiedushi? This name doesn’t seem to be very good either. There is no one up there, so who can we go to for the festival?

"Now that the area we are photographing is not in the province of Xisu, it seems inappropriate to call it the Jiedu Envoy of Xisu. What does my uncle think of the title of Governor of Anxi? Originally, to take up this position, there must be a court above, but The state of Zheng is too weak to be called its lord. The right to rule is the divine right of kings, so my position should be directly assigned to me by heaven! I will call you the Governor of Anxi, who advocates righteousness and upholds righteousness from heaven!"

"Good! This is an excellent name!" The second uncle praised Song Yingkui's idea repeatedly, feeling that it was much higher than what he thought of as the Jiedu Commander of Xisu. Especially this kind of advocating righteousness to heaven is even better used, which is equivalent to directly bypassing the emperor.

"Then make sure to use this name! Get ready and announce the name change to the world as soon as possible. Since you want to be called the Governor of Anxi, you have to consider the location of the Governor's Office.

This is what I think. The headquarters of the Metropolitan Governor's Office is located in Taoyang, the camp is located in Huizhou, and the administrative center is located in Wazhou. What do you think? "If there is no suitable place to be a unified center, it will be divided into three.

Taoyang City serves as the rear and home base, and is mainly used as a resettlement place for the family members of the rear. Wazhou has great potential for economic development, and it is located in the middle of water transportation between the two important places of Hezhou and Yinzhou. It is more suitable to be an administrative and economic center. Huizhou has an important geographical location and is most suitable as a military command center.

"How to distinguish the functions of the camp and the headquarters?" The second uncle didn't understand Song Yingkui's three-divided arrangement.

"The headquarters is the rear area. It is the governor's palace in name only. It mainly houses the old and weak soldiers. This side of the camp is the military command center, and the military command headquarters will be located there."

"That's fine. With the current size of the Governor's Mansion, Huizhou is indeed suitable for marching orders. It's just that Huizhou is small and not suitable for gathering troops." Although the second uncle is not a military general, he is familiar with geography and has basic military knowledge. Even more than many generals of the Yungu Army. If there is a large-scale gathering of troops in Huizhou, logistics support will be a problem.

"It is mainly used for marching orders. There will not be too many troops stationed there for a long time. If the troops are gathered for war, Huizhou will not be prioritized."

"Separating the military and political affairs into several places will not be conducive to centralization of power? It is better to concentrate power in one place." The second uncle is interested in politics. The military and political affairs are divided into two places. In the future, they will be ordered to separate two places.

"Under normal circumstances, I will be stationed in Wazhou. When there is a war situation, the Huizhou camp will be fully activated. Huizhou is mainly responsible for the distribution of military intelligence. Most of the functional agencies of the military command department will also be in Huizhou in normal times. Wazhou. Furthermore, the current settings are only temporary, and there may be major changes in the near future."    Just as far as the current region is concerned, this setting is reasonable, but the region under the rule will change in the future. where? Therefore, it is said that the Huizhou side is the camp, and the key to the camp lies in the line.

After discussing with his second uncle where the employees and administrative center should be located, Song Yingkui said: "Before the troops entered Yinzhou, the frontline generals came to my tent to persuade them to enter. I understand their thoughts! I think so. At present, we The governance area has become larger, and the interests involved are also many. It is inappropriate to use the previous method to reward merit.

However, it is not advisable to establish a fiefdom and nobility! After much thought, I am ready to implement the military nobility system. Military nobility does not grant land, but is divided into five levels based on merit. The fifth-level military nobility, after the world is at peace, can get hundreds of acres of farmland. A first-class military knight can get two thousand acres of farmland, and other titles are in between.

The land gained will be exempted from grain tax for fifty years and can be passed down to the family. In addition to the land reward, the official property will provide [-]% of the net profit every year as a bounty for the title. How to divide it specifically? My uncle will arrange for someone to come up with a plan based on the division. The title of meritorious service can be hereditary, but it can only be hereditary for three generations.

Recently, we will decide on the first batch of candidates for military knighthood! The first batch of knights is tentatively set at fifty, including thirty for military positions and a total of twenty for government and official property. Those who are knighted will be rewarded starting next year. Since there are too few people in the first batch of knights, the reward will be halved. "

After all, asking horses to run and not eat grass is not a long-term solution. It is unrealistic to expect people in this era to have any noble cognition, so what should be given must be given.

In the understanding of most people, isn't what we are doing now just to help the Song family conquer the world? We have done our best for you, but you can't take advantage of all the benefits. If you work hard for your whole life, you can't lose nothing?

Besides, meritorious deeds should be rewarded. Isn’t that what people in that era did? Appropriate transfer of part of the interests is in line with human needs. There is nothing wrong with giving a portion of the proceeds from government property to meritorious groups. For the time being, this is the arrangement, and we will make adjustments in the future based on actual circumstances.

The more people there are, the more complex the ideas, the greater the interests involved, and the more difficult it is to manage. How to strike a good balance is very challenging.

"How to select the first batch of fifty people to be knighted?" When the second uncle heard that they were going to be knighted and rewarded, it was hard for him to calm down and he quickly asked for specific details.

"The Military Command Department, the Administrative Department and the Government Property Department will make separate recommendations, and the report will be submitted to me for my decision. The principle of selection is based on merit first, and secondly the number of years of service. If the merit is about the same, the longer the number of years, the greater the advantage.

Let me state in advance that this is just the first review of merit. After this review, the meritorious service achieved will be reset to zero. Any subsequent knighthoods will be based on new merit and previous merit will not be taken into account! Moreover, the knighthood will be adjusted. After a new knighthood is established in the future, the current first-class knighthood is likely to be downgraded. "

The purpose of setting up titles and rewards is to give people more goals and to inspire more people to make contributions. What Song Yingkui fears most is that after being knighted, his subordinates will start to relax their demands and pursue pleasure! I feel like this life is enough!
