Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 23 Wang Shang
Liu Zhang thought of Wang Shang in history. Wang Shang was not well-known in history. His career experience was all under the hands of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang and his son. He died before Liu Bei entered Shu, so he had no chance to show his talents. .

There are only a few records of Wang Shang in the historical records. Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" has no record of him at all. It was Pei Songzhi's annotation of "Three Kingdoms" that quoted "Yizhou Qi Jiu Zhuan" to record Wang Shang's deeds.

According to historical deeds, Wang Shang was a man who knew current affairs.

This year, when Liu Yan and Ma Teng teamed up to raid Chang'an, Wang Shang strongly advised them, but they did not stop Liu Yan's ambition.

The result was just as Wang Shang expected, Liu Yan did not get any benefits, and even lost the lives of his eldest son and second son, and Liu Yan also died of illness due to grief.

This shows that Wang Shang's vision is precise.

Of course, in addition to his ability, Wang Shang's loyalty is also unquestionable.

Liu Zhang in history was cowardly and suspicious, and could not trust his ministers.Wang Shang then wrote a note of advice, which made Liu Zhang feel quite enlightened.

In addition to these, Wang Shang was also good at recognizing people. Historically, he often recommended outstanding people from Shu to Liu Zhang. He recommended Chen Shi, a celebrity from Bajun, Gong Yang, Zhao Min, Li Jing from Dianjiang, Wang Dan from Langzhong, and Jiang Meng Biao, a native of the state, all held important positions in Yizhou.

Wang Shang has a certain strategic vision and has made achievements in domestic affairs. He is also very good at recognizing people. Most of his recommendations are talents.

For Liu Zhang, this is a small Xiao He.Wang Shang was still a native of Shu and knew Shu very well. In the future, when Liu Zhang led his troops on an expedition, he would have to let Wang Shang control the country, feed the people, provide military supplies, and provide food and wages.

"You really know how to recognize people. The newly appointed Chengdu Commander-in-Chief, Dong Youzai, is a simple and honest man. He wears coarse clothing and eats only vegetarian food every day. He enforces the law without missing anything. He is really a rare talent." Wang Shang praised Dong He.

He valued Dong He, a native of Nanjun who moved west to Shu. Although Dong He was less than thirty years old, he was simple and elegant both in person and in actions. He was indeed a rare political talent.

Given time, this Dong He will be able to move to a county governor.

Wang Shang then praised Dong He: "I think it won't be long before Chengdu's extravagant atmosphere will change under the leadership of this Chengdu magistrate."

Liu Zhang smiled and nodded: "Youzai is indeed talented, and he is a simple man without any vanity. For him, the Chengdu Order is just a small test. After a few years, I want him to be the governor of a county."

Wang Shang nodded in agreement. This was also his idea. He had no prejudice against people who fled to Shu. As long as they were talented and did not harm Shu people, he had no objection to being county magistrates or prefects in Shu.

"Speaking of which, the position of governor of Shu County is vacant. I wonder if Wang Qing has anyone to recommend." Liu Zhang asked Wang Shang about the candidate for governor of Shu County, hoping to get a talent from him.

But what Liu Zhang said made Wang Shang a little surprised. Shu County is the richest county in Yizhou. Yizhou's state government, Chengdu, is also in Shu County. This location is the most important for the foreign Yizhou herders who enter Shu. Important things are usually given to close people of Yizhou Mu and will not be given to Shu people.

But Liu Zhang wanted him to recommend a Shu man to be the governor of Shu County.

The new Ambassador Liu is not only benevolent, but also has an unusually broad mind. It can be said that he has great courage.

'People should not be judged by their appearance. Wang Shang sighed in his heart, Liu Zhang has been in Shu for two years and has not made friends or traveled around. No one can see his depth. There are only rumors that he is weak and cannot do anything.

Now Liu Zhang is appointed as the shepherd of Yizhou. He acts fairly, without deviation, and has the courage to do his job. It seems that the past is hidden in the abyss.

Liu Zhang was appointed as the shepherd of Yizhou, which was a great blessing for the people of Shu.

Without too much thinking, Wang Shang recommended a person: "There is a person whose surname is Chen Mingshi and whose courtesy name is Shengxian. He is simple and unadorned. He has served as county magistrate and engaged in government affairs and has great political talents."

Liu Zhang nodded: "If you can get Wang Qing's recommendation, I'll take it upon myself to see you."

Of course, Chen Shi didn’t mean that he could meet someone now. In this era, there are no phones or mobile phones. If you want to meet someone, send someone to notify them, and then wait for the person to come to your door. You should not talk for a day or two. This is because you want to meet the person in Chengdu. In this situation, if this person is in another county, he will not be able to get a bottom for ten days.

After Liu Zhang and Wang Shang discussed other government affairs for a while, Wang Shang resigned and left.Next, Liu Zhang will summon Zhao Wei, the tent commander with scales on his belly, but he will have to wait for a while, and it will take time for Zhao Wei to arrive.

At this moment, Liu Zhang thought of his father Liu Yan. Liu Yan was an ambitious man. He was originally a member of the clan of the Han Dynasty and was worshiped as Zhonglang. He successively served as the Luoyang order, the governor of Jizhou, the governor of Nanyang, Zongzheng and other officials.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Yan gave an opinion to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Abandoning history and establishing animal husbandry is a poison that penetrates the intestines.

The Han Dynasty implemented two-level administrative divisions of counties and counties.

As the top administrator of a county, in addition to having the power to govern the people, recommend talents, and hear cases, the prefect can also select and appoint his own low-level officials and staff, which is not a small power.

In order to restrain the power of the prefect, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, created the governor system. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty positioned the governor as a supervisory position rather than a local chief executive. In order to use these governors to strengthen the restraint on local officials, especially the governor, and let the governor Don't be presumptuous.

The governor's salary is [-] dan, while the prefect's salary is [-] dan. There is a sense of using the weak to control the strong, similar to the censor. Although his official position is low, he can criticize the prime minister.

At the beginning, the governor did not even have his own office. He began to inspect the area he was responsible for every August, and was basically on a "business trip" all year round.

Under such circumstances, the Eastern Han Dynasty could still be stable. The prefect could only control the power of one county, and the governor only had the power of supervision. Even if there was any trouble, it was still within the territory of one county, and it would be easy to bring peace.

But Zhou Mu is different. Zhou Mu combines administrative, military and financial power, and it is also a state. The Han Dynasty only has thirteen states. Zhou Mu naturally has the conditions to cede land and become a king.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for Liu Yan to manage local officials. These people are masters of corruption, but they are not good at governing the local area. They make local people miserable, but they do nothing to clear up the rebellion.He persuaded Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty that if he allowed the clan and important ministers to serve as state pastors and take over the power, he would surely make those local officials who did nothing to serve the court wholeheartedly.

The clan, they are all members of the old Liu family, and they will definitely do their best for the big man's affairs.The important ministers of the imperial court must be people who are loyal to the imperial court and have strong abilities. If they are allowed to work locally, they can supposedly do something good.

But if the clan members and important officials with their own ulterior motives went to serve as state shepherds, could they really be loyal to the court? Liu Zhang couldn't help but sigh.

Both Liu Yan and Liu Biao, as members of the royal family, had a history of disobedience. Liu Yan made carriages for carriages, which were more than a thousand carriages used by the emperor. Liu Biao was in Jingzhou, and he held no guests in the county. He looked like an emperor.

As a non-clan minister, not to mention, as soon as he got to the local level, he divided the states and counties and ignored the imperial court. Yuan Shao had different ambitions and set up his own official office in order to conquer the world. Yuan Shu was extremely arrogant and directly proclaimed himself emperor. .

People who have gained power will not give up their power easily, even if a knife is placed on their neck.

It can be said that his father Liu Yan's proposal to abolish Shi Li Mu was to pour a bucket of gasoline on the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was on fire after the Yellow Turban Uprising. The overall situation of the country was suddenly out of control. He was called the gravedigger of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

'Abolition of history and establishment of animal husbandry is a big disaster. 'Liu Zhang gave an evaluation of this suggestion.

Liu Zhang didn't have much time to think about the situation. His time was very tight. After becoming a shepherd in Yizhou, he rarely had free time. He had to meet guests almost every day, both those he didn't want to see and those he didn't want to see.

He heard footsteps coming from the door.

Zhao Wei is here.

The inner trouble is coming.
