Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 170 [Six Different Parts, Ambitious]

On the same day, at the General's Mansion, Lu Bu called Chen Gong to discuss matters.

For now, there are the following big things to address:
The first one is that Jiaozhou will soon be occupied by the whole territory. Next, we should consider how to divide these soldiers, where to divide them, who will lead them, who need to be laid off, and how to train them.

The second is the selection and appointment of officials. The people Lv Bu brought from Luoyang were basically soldiers, who were well-versed in arts and martial arts. To manage Jiaozhou well, it was necessary to select a group of reliable local talents.

The third one is that the addresses of five new counties have been selected. There are three in Nanhai County: Huidong, Lufeng and Jieyang; two in Hepu County: Maoming and Suixi.Then there is the issue of organizing the migration of the population, which involves too much and is also a big project.

Fourth, Huashen Medical College and Sinong College will also start to select sites and organize personnel. This is something that cannot be completed in a short time, but it must be started.

Fifth, prepare a grand celebration banquet to reward the soldiers.At the same time, it is necessary to choose a geomantic treasure land, build a martyr cemetery, and bury and pay homage to those soldiers who died in the battlefield.

Sixth, build the organizational structure of the General's Mansion. Only by building the basic structure can the military and government of Jiaozhou be unified, so as to better govern Jiaozhou.

Seventh, Lu Bu plans to choose a good day to marry Diao Chan before the Spring Festival.

Today, Lu Bu and Chen Gong are discussing the seven major issues. Regarding the placement of soldiers after the war, most of the cavalry will definitely be deployed to Nanhai County and Cangwu County, mainly to face the changes in the situation in the Central Plains.

In addition, Jiaozhi County must garrison a lot of troops to deal with the barbarians and Yi people. Yulin County also needs to garrison troops. One is to deal with the barbarian tribes, but to face the situation in Jingzhou and Yizhou.

Then there are the checkpoints leading to the Central Plains in Nanhai County and Cangwu County. In addition, some new recruits must be stationed, one is for training, but to help open up wasteland, build ditches, new county towns, and deal with internal emergencies. Incidents and other affairs are equivalent to the reserve army.

Regarding the selection of officials in various counties and counties, the separation of military and government is adopted. At present, it can only be selected from among the original officials. After the overall situation is stabilized, available talents will be selected through other channels.

As for the relocation of the population for the five new counties, it still needs a lot of publicity, and it should not be difficult to cooperate with many benefits.As for the matter of the two colleges, first of all, it is necessary to choose a site, find the core personnel needed by the college, etc., step by step.

For the matter of marrying Diao Chan, you can arrange people to start preparations now, choose a good day, and it will be realized soon.

The next step is to build the organizational structure of the General's Mansion. In order to avoid suspicion and save unnecessary trouble, Lu Bu wanted to use the system of later dynasties, such as the six-part system.

"The six ministries, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishments, and the Ministry of Industry, combined the system of the Han Dynasty, and it was more perfect. My lord is a great talent. He can come up with such a perfect system, which is beyond my reach."

Although Chen Gong no longer regarded Lu Bu as an ordinary person, he still did not expect to have extraordinary attainments and wisdom in the political system.

Compared with the current system of the Han Dynasty, the six-part system has been improved too much, with clear powers and responsibilities, and has a great centralization effect.

"Gongtai is wonderful. Most of these things are inspired by the heavens, and they are only realized. It is a blessing to be able to use them."

Lu Bu smiled, and he liked hearing people like Chen Gong praise him face to face.

By God's will?Although Chen Gong disagreed, he still acted as if he believed it. Anyway, many strange things that Lu Bu came up with had to be covered up with "the will of heaven", otherwise it would be difficult to explain clearly.

"Gongtai, the establishment of six departments requires a lot of talents, do you have suitable candidates?" Lu Bu asked.

Now that Jiaozhou is basically settled, the basic structure of the General's Mansion should be built quickly so that the entire Jiaozhou can be better governed.

Chen Gong thought for a while, and then replied: "Among the six departments, the Household Department is the most important, in charge of territory, fields, household registration, taxation, money and food, and all financial matters."

"The minister of the household department must be a person trusted by the lord, and have extraordinary talents and knowledge, so that he can take on this important task. The candidate should be chosen by the lord himself."

Land, population, taxation, money and food are the lifeblood, and they need to be managed by someone he trusts. Of course Lu Bu knows it himself, but he just wants to see Chen Gong's attitude and reaction.

The result was quite satisfactory to him. Lu Bu smiled, looked at Chen Gong, and said, "Shangshu of the Household Department, the public platform is none other than you. You have this talent, and you are someone I trust very much. I hope you don't refuse."

To tell the truth, Chen Gong was very moved, and he bowed his hands and said, "Thank you for your trust, my lord. Chen Gong is willing to do my best to help my lord realize his lofty ambitions and usher in a new era!"

"Come on, please. With your help, I can rest assured."

"In addition, I plan to set up various departments under the Ministry of Accounting. You, Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, will see if it is feasible." Lu Bu helped Chen Gong up and said.

Chen Gong said respectfully: "My lord, please give me your instructions."

"Under the Ministry of Households, I plan to set up a financial department: to be in charge of money and food, taxes and materials, and their distribution and scheduling; a taxation department: to formulate taxes and supervise the implementation; to set up a commercial department: to be in charge of commodity circulation transactions, formulating regulations and management Regulate the trading behavior of merchants, etc.”

"Then set up a field chieftain: in charge of land, cultivated land, forest land, and livestock land; set up a household registration department: register the population and each person's place of origin, fields, labor, etc.."

"In addition, the existing Department of Agriculture will also be transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs to take charge of agricultural affairs."

"That's all I can think of for the time being. If something is inappropriate or needs to be added, just let us know."

Lu Bu articulated some ideas that he had thought up in his mind long ago, and he only knew some directional things, and he had to rely on talents like Chen Gong for the specifics.

"Finance Department, Land Chieftain Department, Household Registration Department, and Agriculture Department should be located under the household department. It's just the taxation department and the commercial department. I still don't quite understand the specific intentions of the lord. Does the lord have any specific ideas?"

After Chen Gong pondered for a while, he said.

According to Chen Gong's thinking, it would be easier to transfer taxes and other taxes directly to the Finance Department, and setting up a separate department would be overkill.

As for the Department of Commerce, Chen Gong was even more confused.Since ancient times, the status of merchants has been low, and the taxes levied on them are also small.

In the Han Dynasty, there were only some city taxes, that is, some taxes were collected on sales and transactions in some big cities.

In general, agriculture is more important than business, and taxation mainly depends on taxes on land.

Regarding this, Lu Bu thought about it for a while, and after sorting out his thoughts, he explained: "The reason why we want to set up a separate taxation department is to try to change the Han Dynasty and the previous situation where land tax was the main tax."
