10.23 Talent training, financial administration

"Where did he get so many people?" Suddenly thought of something, Han Chu suddenly raised his head, "Since he can serve in a county, at least he is a talented person, but although the world is big, there are many scholars.

Now in the whole of Jiangnan, each county has arranged at least four to five people. There are no 500 people in the whole of Jiangnan. Where did he find these talents?Why did the court know nothing about it? "

"This is what I also don't understand." Lin Ruhai was also puzzled by this, "These people's work style and administrative habits are almost the same, obviously they have been trained uniformly, but I have never heard of them.

What's more, it's no secret that Marquis Pingyuan's talent training habits are in the world, that is, he will only use the people he cultivated, or he will train people after promotion. There is no room for outsiders in the entire Jiangnan system.

The same is true for the military, and so is the administration. You must have discovered that he has a place in the mountainous area northeast of Jinling, which is similar to the Jiangwu Hall or Jiang Ben Hall, just to train his own officers.

But there is another point that you may not know, he actually repurposed the original Jiangdongmen Qianhu Office to train administrative talents, but this is not serious, the biggest problem.”

"When he trained these people, he didn't use our people or our books." Han Chu looked gloomy, and then explained with Lin Ruhai's surprised eyes, "I have observed the government personnel he set up privately, and there is no How many traces of scholars.

All of them have talents no less than that of Juren. Although there are few main persons in charge in each government, they also have qualities no less than those of Jinshi background. However, all of these people are armed with swords or knives, which is completely different from us. "

"It's more like the talents of various families in the pre-Qin period." Lin Ruhai said puzzledly, "Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that 'leading the army on horseback and herders off the horse' is a bit exaggerated, it is not an exaggeration to say 'all-round talent in civil and military affairs'. I have seen them with my own eyes. Follow the local garrison to quell the civil unrest."

"What kind of civil disturbance? It's just that the enemy gentry was dissatisfied with the oppression of the Jiangnan army and was forced to stand up to resist!" Having said this, Han Chu became even more angry. slaughter!
Ru Hai, you are also a scholar, do you just sit and watch this kind of thing happen?Don't forget, what is the reason why we can stand in the court and look down on those warriors? Haven't you thought about your own name behind you? "

"Wen is not in charge of the army, and military is not involved in politics." As soon as Lin Ruhai said the words, he saw Han Chu's disdainful eyes, so he had no choice but to explain, "This is completely implemented throughout the entire Jiangnan. a small flag.

Administrative officials can only mobilize government staff, and each has a division of labor. For example, the county magistrate is the one who decides the case, but the county magistrate is the one who investigates and hunts down the case. Pass the above two.

The county magistrate and the county magistrate are under the yamen servants. In fact, these people are only responsible for official document exchange or management implementation, not military affairs. It is the county lieutenant and his subordinates who are really responsible for public security and local peace.

The supervisory censor can impeach the above three, but there must be solid evidence. Just relying on a "rumor" will only cause trouble for himself, and the garrison in the county is in the hands of the school lieutenant. No affiliation.

If the government in charge of local administration wants to mobilize the army, it can only discuss and coordinate with the person in charge of the local garrison. The garrison is rotated and is only responsible to the higher-level military department. Anything in the local area, unless there is a war, is handled with him. It doesn't matter. "

"This is a new way that has nothing in common with the existing government." Han Chu said with a gloomy expression, "Ruhai, you know very well that the reason why we can stand like this is inseparable from two things.

One is the imperial examination, which can only be carried out in the existing imperial court. Wei Xu made that set of things and there is no room for us to intervene; He is an official, and he is a gentry when he returns to his hometown! "

"But, we have nothing to do!" Lin Ruhai couldn't help but smile wryly, "Ever since I learned about this method, I've been thinking about how we can avoid being kicked out. The final conclusion is that there is no way."

In fact, what Wei Xu has done is a hybrid of the modern government system and the feudal system, combining modern decentralization and specialization with the ancient government system. In essence, it is more like the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period. Only because of strong execution can it be implemented.

The so-called "three giants of the government" still have too much power. Once the strong core constraints are lost, such a system can easily lead to "warlord separatism" or "local separation". Repeatedly.

The problem is that based on the current overall level of the world of "Red Mansions", it is simply impossible to apply the modern government system. No matter it is a red country or a blue country, it cannot be applied. Just communication and transportation will make the above two systems hopeless. .Therefore, Wei Xu could only create a "modern hybrid based on the feudal system" because there was no good way but to make power less concentrated as much as possible, and then clean up the wealthy gentry to make life easier for ordinary people.

"What do you mean there is no way?" Han Chu said dissatisfied, "Whether it is the capital or the world, we are the main ones. As long as we continue to find ways, we will be able to wipe them out one day."

"See where the problem is?" Lin Ruhai continued to smile wryly, "With this invincible Jiangnan army as the foundation, no one can touch a single hair of Pingyuanhou, even if the Tian family's opinions are strong, they can only endure it.

I believe that some people's thoughts now have turned into waiting, waiting for the day when Wei Xu collapses by himself, because as long as he is still alive, no one can do anything about it, no matter how loud the opinions are, it is useless, because no one can do anything about it Solve the Jiangnan Army! "

"But he didn't stop, let alone let us wait with peace of mind." Han Chu sat down on the chair as if he had been emptied of gas balloons, "The entire Jiangnan Province is now a big construction site, I know There is a problem, but I don't see where the problem is."

"If you want to get rich, build roads first." Lin Ruhai began to explain, but he didn't quite understand, "Marquis Ping Yuan got all the prisoners from Jiangnan out to work as coolies, and promised them that if they did well, they would get a reduced sentence. .

The material used is something called 'cement', but ordinary people prefer to call it 'water stone powder'. After mixing with water and gravel, once it is formed and dried, the hardness is no worse than that of stone. It can be used to build roads for 100 years. It's not bad at all.

The plan is to connect all the prefectures and cities in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and connect the county towns as much as possible, but there is still a long way to go, but the two roads that have been built, from Jinling to Yangzhou and Xuzhou respectively, have achieved results. "

"I've already seen it." Han Chu sighed and nodded, "I don't know how convenient the travel between these three places is, and the caravans are continuous. It's okay to go from Yangzhou to Jinling. Anyway, there is a waterway. that is."

"Did you know that the total agricultural tax in Jiangnan has reached 600 million taels, which is twice as much as in previous years, because there is no family that can not pay taxes, even the fields under the name of Pingyuanhou.

The commercial tax is more than 200 million taels, because all the shops are collected by the government. If you don’t pay the tax, you will be seized. inevitable'.

There is also the salt tax. Nowadays, except for a small number of private salt dealers, most of the income for every catty of salt in Jiangnan is actually from the government. Only a small part of the profit is given to the distribution stores below. The annual salt tax is not much. Less than 700 million taels! "

"That is to say, even after the highest annual income in the past is handed over to the imperial court, the income in Jiangnan is not much less than that of the imperial court?" Han Chu was completely stunned by such data.

"Marquis Pingyuan's income is not limited to these." Lin Ruhai sighed, "Sometimes I wonder what he wants to do, if he is just a powerful martial artist, there is no need for this.

Although Xue Zihao is named after the Xue family, the whole world knows who owns this firm. It is managed by the Xue family, the concubine of Pingyuanhou. Exactly how many stores there are, with the sign of Xuezihao.

There is also the world's largest marine trade fleet, which is also owned by Marquis Pingyuan, and the manager is another concubine of his. I don't know the specific harvest, but most of the silk and porcelain exports in the entire Jiangnan are from this company. doing. "

"That is to say, the annual income in Wei Xu's hands is probably twice that of the imperial court?" Han Chu was dumbfounded. A person who can be a minister of the Ministry of War will naturally not be like some fools who study hard. profit".

"Actually, in my position, I am more concerned with coordinating the overall situation. As for the policy implementation strategy, it has already been decided. What I need to do is to coordinate and advance under the established strategy." Lin Ruhai sighed and looked at the Friends glance.

The corner of Han Chu's mouth twitched a few times, but in the end he couldn't figure out what to say.
