Chapter 320 Reshaping the Bureaucratic System
After the public trial, Yue Shan became busy.

On the one hand, a large number of salt fields were built in Bohai County and Yanci County.After the first successful drying of salt, Deng Jian took people to dry the salt twice more, and he was familiar with the technology and trained a group of skilled workers.

These skilled workers can serve as team leaders to lead the newly recruited workers to build salt pans and carry out salt drying work.

After all, there is really no technical content in drying salt, as long as you don't do it twice stupidly.

Moreover, building salt fields in large quantities requires a lot of manpower, and it also gives poor people in the two counties a chance to make a living.

On the other hand, it is to carry out anti-crime and evil work in six counties of Texas.

Yue Shan knew very well that this mass killing of officials once was enough.This time, everyone turned a blind eye for the sake of the salt government's huge profits, but if he goes to war like this every time, he will just wait to be alone.

So he must take this opportunity to clean up Texas, absolutely not leaving a tail.

Of course, the cleansing of the other five counties was not so serious. Generally, only the chief criminals were eliminated, and those who did not die or aroused public anger were given a way out.

And his reasons for purging the other five counties are very legitimate... Governor Yu Kexun was "enthusiastically retained" by Yue Shan to discuss academics in Yanci County.It happened that people from several other counties came to complain spontaneously, and Yu Kexun was furious and sent someone to investigate.

So Yu Kexun and Yu Cishi have another scapegoat, but because of a blessing in disguise, he has become the "blue sky" among the people.

As for whether the governor is willing to have this good name... Generally speaking, it is painful and happy.

He definitely doesn't want to be forced to take the blame for killing so many people, but most people who are good at talking have a problem, good name.Fame is their destiny, so he likes the compliment of "Qingtian" very much.

But no matter what, he really didn't object to Yue Shan's actions, nor did he make small moves behind his back.

The third thing Yueshan has to do is to reshape the Texas bureaucracy.

The first step was to relocate the Dezhou government to Yanci County.

Yue Shan is going to make Dezhou his own back garden, and he has already got the tacit approval of the court.

Yanci County is his base camp in Dezhou, and it is easier to control Yu Kexun and others by relocating the state government here.

Right now, Yue Shan still needs Yu Kexun to be his puppet, without him, his foundation is too shallow to have someone suitable to take over the governor's position.

Tian Xuechen is very suitable to be the governor, both in ability and qualifications.However, he has only served as the county magistrate of Yanci for half a year and has not made an inch of merit, so he is not suitable for direct promotion to the governor of a state.

Besides, who will succeed Tian Xuechen as the county magistrate after Tian Xuechen leaves?
Yue Shan's plan is to stay for half a year.Half a year later, when the Yan government is complete, Tian Xuechen can take over as governor of Texas with his merits, and at worst he must be an individual.

And in the past six months, the group of cronies he recommended by himself should have been sharpened, and it is justifiable to take over Yanci County by taking advantage of the situation.

Right now, the best way is to relocate the governor's office to Yanci County, and take away the power of the governor's office.

And even if he leaves Dezhou and returns to the capital after a while, Tian Xuechen's ability is enough to control Yu Kexun.After all, he was a person who had served as an order of Chang'an for several years and escaped unscathed, so he still had this ability.

Yu Kexun also knew Yue Shan's plan, but unfortunately he didn't have any resistance in front of Yue Shan.He could only submit a letter to the court obediently, requesting that the government be moved to Yanci County.

To his despair, the court not only did not object, but also approved the resolution with lightning speed.

This made Yu Kexun finally put down the last bit of resistance, and since then he has completely let himself go, and went further and further on the road of talking.

Along with the official documents of the imperial court, there were also a group of gentlemen from the academy, that is, those who were recommended by Yue Shan as officials.

"Gan Yuanfeng has met the dean." The leader is Gan Yuanfeng of Xingzhou, the math genius who once challenged Yueshan.

"I have met the dean." More than a dozen other people followed suit.

"Excuse me." Yue Shan said with a smile: "Yuanfeng, you are finally here, if you don't come again, my head will explode."

"The hospital has kept us waiting for a long time. We have already traveled all day and night after receiving the notice, but the journey is far away and we will arrive today." Gan Yuanfeng explained.

Yue Shan shook his head secretly, this Gan Yuanfeng is good, but his personality is too serious and he has no sense of humor at all.It was clearly a joke just now, but he actually explained it seriously.

But... Isn't it because of his serious character that he was elected as an official this time?This kind of character is what people who really do practical things should have.

Yue Shan, who was familiar with his character, didn't say anything more, but said: "Okay, let's go, and clean up the dust for you today."

There are so many things going on in Texas, everyone wants to split into eight pieces and serve as an envoy for eight people, so they have time to pick up people everywhere.So this time the only person who came to greet him was Yue Shan.

But the reception banquet at night was quite lively, and everyone who could arrive was there.And Gan Yuanfeng and others also learned the current details of Dezhou through chatting with their colleagues.

Their first feeling is disbelief.

Killing so many people in one go, and still continuing to kill, is this the gentle dean they know?
This is a proper butcher.

The second feeling is that the scalp is numb for a while, the dean has such strict requirements on the officials, it will be difficult for them to do their jobs in the future.The joy of being recommended as an official also dissipated a lot, followed by caution.

On the second day, Yue Shan placed the people from the Academy in various departments of Yanci County and Bohai County, completely completing the control over these two counties.

Among them, Gan Yuanfeng was recommended as the head book of Yanci County, which is equivalent to the second in command.

In name, the county magistrate is the county magistrate's second-in-command, but in fact the county magistrate's position is the most embarrassing.

His scope of duties completely overlaps with that of the county magistrate, and he is only half a step away from the county magistrate in terms of rank. Once he is put in power, the county magistrate will be removed.

Therefore, he is deeply suspected by the county magistrate, and he is usually invisible without any real power.

The scope of duties of the master secretary covers [-]% to [-]% of the affairs of a county, but there is a big step between him and the county magistrate, and this step is a natural barrier.No matter how powerful the chief bookkeeper is, he cannot threaten the county magistrate.Therefore, the county magistrate generally does not deal with the master book.

The result of this is that the nominal second-in-command, the county magistrate, is basically invisible, and the master book becomes the de facto second-in-command.

This position can basically manage everything and is very training. Being able to be a good bookkeeper basically means that it is not a big problem to be a county magistrate.

To put it bluntly, Yue Shan put Gan Yuanfeng in this position to train him as the future Yanci county magistrate.

Of course, first of all, Gan Yuanfeng must have this ability, if he is not capable, then don't mention it.

As for other people, they are also placed in various important positions for training, and their positions will be adjusted according to their actual working ability in the future.
