Chapter 206: Chaos in Guangnan

The supervisor was regarded by the other party at this time. The Jinshi was not demoted, but rarely served. This is not because the literati disdained financial management officials. Many people have always fought for the official positions of the three departments, but because it is related to the system of the supervisor and the promotion system of the official. The main responsibility of the supervisor was to collect taxes. At this time, people's eyes were to plunder the people's wealth and be looked down upon. Another supervisor was not a person-friendly official, and in the order of promotion of officials, the qualifications required were often several people-friendly officials.

To change all this, major reforms are needed, from concepts to systems. Du Zhongxiao is really powerless now. He can only give more money to technical officials present, but political treatment cannot be solved. He can only take his time with the development of society.

Wu Yu said: "Officials are in charge of people, but they are not familiar with affairs. What is difficult now is that officials in the Iron Supervisory Office are mostly recruited from various prefectures and counties in the road and learned from schools. They only know how to do this and cannot be transferred to other places. When the years go by, these people are complicated and control their practice, and they will inevitably undermine officials. At that time, it was difficult. The so-called officials are not feudal, and officials are feudal. Some of the people in the Iron Supervisory Office have official positions, but they are actually officials. If they have been in one place for decades, their descendants will be here, and they cannot be shaken even if they change officials."

Du Zhongxiao nodded. This is indeed a very troublesome thing. Once a place's affairs are controlled by several specific families and then connected by marriage, it is easy to undermine the court. At that time, there are policies and countermeasures at the top, and no matter what is damaged, no matter what is going on, it cannot be implemented. Why do officials want to travel to the public? That is, they do not let power take root. As long as power does not take root, other forces can be destroyed.

Chen Zonggu said: "There is no other way to do this. You can only recruit people from other prefectures and counties to join the school, and new people will serve as old people. Anyone who is in charge of people and affairs in the Iron Supervisor will not need children or locals, and will all come out of the school."

Wu Yu said: "But those who work in it need to have a way out after working for a long time, and their children need a way out. If they don't give a way out, they only use new people to replace the old people, and it will be difficult for new people to do a stable job. They must vomit the old and accept the new in order to last for a long time."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Then you can only rectify the regulations. When the people who work in the industry reach a certain age, they will be transferred to those who do not care about others and work, and they will be technical consultants, giving money and grain without giving power. Other places can mobilize each other. Those who do well and do not have power can be given a certain status and will be given to the elders in the prison. If they do not do well, they will be given money and grain, but they will not be able to gain power. In history, when famous officials and generals of all dynasties emerge, the world is often not peaceful or the foreign war is endless. It is not that there are many talents at that time, but that they are damaged.

If you spend too much money and pile up many deeds, you will look particularly different. Moreover, at this time, those who are capable can quickly take up the position and take on heavy responsibilities. Just like eating, eating more, ejaculate more, and eat poorly, you can still be strong. The officials of the Iron Supervision Bureau must also do more things, take on heavy responsibilities, and promote them if they perform well. If you do a long time, if you do not have special performance, you will be idle at the age of your life. If you do practical things, you will not be in power, and give them money and food to live a worry-free life, which is not considered bad treatment for them."

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "I often hear people say that it is not easy to train an official, so you should pay attention to love. What should I care about? As long as they are still allowed to do things and give money and food, it is enough. Power cannot be given up easily. It is not easy to train an official, so I will train more. The school is open there, and every position in the Iron Supervisory Office is not weaker than the current officials, or even better than them, and I am not afraid that no one will be an official."

Wu Yu and Chen Zonggu laughed together after hearing this. This is indeed a simple and crude method. I only heard that there are too many officials, but I haven’t heard that there are enough officials. Not to mention the officials in the Iron Supervisory Bureau, even the magistrates will be replaced when they take office. Once they make mistakes, they will be demoted to a few levels, so why can’t the subordinates be able to do so? The primates in the court are still frequently changed. Wu Yu was appointed as the Privy Councilor for several years to prevent dictatorship, but it is enough to put them down as the magistrate, and the treatment remains unchanged.

Du Zhongxiao worked hard to build the Iron Supervisor, but he did not expect that many years later, he was technically controlled by academic clans and managemently controlled by local tribes, which became a tool for them to make a fortune. It is necessary to ensure that the official has completely controlled all the power of the Iron Supervisor and prevent the feudalization of power.

The few chatted for a while and saw that it was getting late, so they returned to the Iron Supervisor's Office together.

As soon as I entered the yamen, I saw a public official hurriedly holding the mansion newspaper and sending it to Guo Zi's case.

Du Zhongxiao shouted and said, "Don't hurry to send it in, let's see what major events are going on in the court these days."

The public official handed over the mansion report and said, "There is no major problem in the court, but there was a chaos on Guangnan West Road. A barbarian chief made a rebellion and broke through Hengshan Village. The village leader and several inspectors were caught off guard and died in state affairs."

"What? Take it to me!" Du Zhongxiao was shocked after hearing this, and he was finally here.

After taking the official newspaper, Du Zhongxiao looked at it roughly and found the entry of Guangxi Nong Zhigao's chaos. The statement was very rough, saying that he was rejected and was revenge with Jiaozhi, so he started to make trouble and invaded Hengshanzhai. The village leader Zhang Rixin and Yongzhou inspector Gao Shi'an would die in battle.

He handed over the mansion to Chen Zonggu around him, and Du Zhongxiao said: "The rise of the barbarian chief of Guangyuanzhou, Nong Zhigao, broke through Hengshan Village. This matter is very small. Guangnan West Road was already sparsely soldiers and mostly in a few northern states to prevent the surrounding barbarians. Yongzhou has few soldiers and is almost empty, so he may be ridden by thieves."

Chen Zonggu looked at it and said, "But a small group of barbarian thieves are in chaos, and there are many Guangnan, which is not a big deal."

Wu Yu read the newspaper, pondered for a while, and said, "Nong Zhigao should not be underestimated. A few years ago, Jiaozhi sent troops to encircle him and was defeated by him. If Yongzhou did not prepare for it, he might take risks and attack this big city."

In Du Zhongxiao's memory, Nong Zhigao had never hesitated when he started to cause trouble. He was not able to attack Yongzhou on a dangerous basis, but he would definitely attack Yongzhou. However, no one would believe that the surrounding barbarians were in chaos every year, and most of them were limited to one state, and involving several states was a chaos.

It is late April, and it is the first time that the miasma in Lingnan begins to arise. It seems that Nong Zhigao has been planning for a long time. There are not many soldiers on Guangnan West Road, and there are even fewer imperial guards. Most of them are around Guizhou to guard against the barbarians there. Over the past decade, there have been constant barbarian chaos in the central and southern parts of Jinghu South Road and the northern parts of Guangnan West Road. Yang Ting has wiped out several times, and the military strength in the Yongzhou area is very empty.

After choosing this time to start the uprising, Nong Zhigao bought himself for more than half a year, and the court could not raise troops to go south to quell the chaos. The miasma in Lingnan was not a joke. The northern army went south this season, and before they could fight against the enemy, most of them would die if they were not adapted to the local conditions.

Du Zhongxiao has been to Yingtian on Jingxi Road for a few years, and he no longer naively believes that the miasma in this era is a mistake made by the ancients' lack of knowledge. Not to mention Lingnan, even Jinghu Road not far away is very dangerous. Miasma is a special geography and climate, and the special environment formed. In this environment, northerners will be unable to adapt to the local environment and get various diseases, and are mostly infectious diseases, which will cause a large number of people to die in a short period of time.

In the future, it is similar to tropical diseases, and it is even more severe and lacks effective drugs. It is precisely because of this that the areas in Lingnan where people have transformed the environment and eliminated the miasma after the environment is transformed.

In this season, Nong Zhigao is in chaos. Not to mention that the court does not pay attention to it, it is useless to pay attention to it. It is impossible to mobilize troops on a large scale. You can only wait until after the autumn before you can organize effective military operations and encircle and suppress them. Whether it is to transfer the northern imperial guards or the surrounding troops, you must wait for the opportunity.
