Chapter 251
Even if a war is won, the aftermath work will be very complicated. Xuanwei army and Qinrong army are transferred to the direction of the Khitan, and the remaining troops must be reorganized and trained. The war with Dangxiang cannot be fought immediately. Taking advantage of this time, while Xu Ping carried out the aftermath of the war, he reorganized the remaining three armies, waiting for the court to negotiate with the Khitan and Dangxiang, and at the same time began to divide the original local counties and counties into the prefectures and counties.
After taking down Tiandu Mountain, there are deserts and grasslands ahead, and it is a smooth road without being restricted by weather factors. When everything comes to fruition, spring will pass, and fighting in summer will be more beneficial to Xu Ping.
As nomadic peoples, summer is their most important production season, and the military strength and mobilization ability of the entire country are greatly affected. Xu Ping is under a standing army, and as long as it does not affect the war, he ignores the season. As the rise and fall of the other, the army in Xu Ping's hands will widen a bigger gap with the strength of the Dangxiang military, and the war will be smoother.
Moreover, this seasonal advantage is not only for Dangxiang, but also for the Khitan. After autumn, the Khitan can easily pull up hundreds of thousands of troops in a short period of time and move south, but in summer, it is not easy to pull out a hundred thousand troops.
This is the gap in national strength. In the past, the Song Dynasty had no ability to take advantage of this advantage, but now it is different.
In addition to the specific difficulties in governance, we also face how to attract officials.
The Song Dynasty government was very interesting to do things, which made Xu Ping feel familiar and friendly, and sometimes a little amused and irritated. The most common way to do things in the official business is to shoot or cast a letter. In the words of Xu Ping's previous life, it is to bid.
For example, if the official business, restaurant, and restaurant, you will be given a ancestral value if you hand over the business to the people. If you have successfully invested the business, you will be given no less than the ancestral value to the government every year, and the remaining profit is the money earned by the operator. After the Xining reform in history, a "true ban" was developed, that is, a secret bid. When investing the business, the official did not establish a ancestral value, and the participating households each claimed a price, and the higher the price would be. Because this is easy to cause vicious competition, the winners will lose money and even some will go bankrupt, which has caused criticism of taking advantage of the people. However, it is beneficial to the political achievements of officials, and the "true ban" has been endless.
In the past, in order to solve the food and grass problems of the garrison, many camps and land affairs were built. These camps and land affairs were different from those under Wang Gongchen's management. They were not officially operated, but were also handed over to the households to farm. The official collects rent like the landlords. How can the people obtain the right to cultivate these lands? The same method of bidding is called commando.
If Xu Ping feels familiar and friendly in terms of economy, when extending the fingering to the officialdom, Xu Ping sometimes feels funny and crying.
The management and appointment of officials in the Song Dynasty can be roughly divided into three levels. The attendants who are above the rank of the waiting system, the two provincial officials with officials above the rank of the ministers and the ministers of the censors, all of whom were promoted and demoted were issued imperial edicts, and the prime ministers were not allowed to be self-dedicated. The officials below were divided into halls that were granted by the Political Affairs Hall, and the regular transfer officials who were responsible by the Judicial Office and Liu Neiquan.
The halls are divided into hall selection and hall occupation. In summary, the court believes that certain positions are particularly important and cannot be allowed to appoint officials according to the old rules, and to receive the power to the government office and be excluded from the government office after consultation by the prime minister. The positions in these halls have specific lists, which are constantly adjusted according to the actual situation. Because as time goes by, the positions are limited, and there are many officials waiting for the missing, the government office and the government office have been constantly competing for positions in the hall. For example, the prefect, the government office and the government office have divided the positions many times, which states are divided and which states are often transferred.
The division between the hall and the regular transfer is not based on the level and order of official positions. The standard of the hall is summarized into four words: clear, tight, complex, dramatic, pure and expensive, heavy, capable, and hard-working. The hall and the position of the hall can be as low as the county magistrate, the official position, and the lowest selection among the regular transfer officials. Compared with Xu Ping's system in his previous life, it is roughly equivalent to the distinction between the central government, the department-managed cadres, the provincial-managed cadres, and the municipal-managed cadres.
The positions included in the hall are hall occupation, which means that they have been occupied by the Political Affairs Hall, and the Court of Justice and Liu Neiquan are not allowed to intervene. There are also some officials who are often transferred to the hall, either because the court attaches special importance to a certain person, or the temporary position is particularly important, and the position is also awarded by the Political Affairs Hall, which is called the Hall Selection.
The judges' court and Liu Neiquan are distinguished according to their official ranks. The officials in the Beijing court are transferred to the judges' court and the candidates are selected.
These three levels are divided into different political treatments of officials. The emperor's imperial edict is naturally the highest level. Although it is mainly based on the advice of the prime minister, at least the emperor knows this person. The hall means that his name reaches the first level of the prime minister. Specifically, it is the Jinshi Gaodi and the same medium-level official, as well as the kind of officials who have shown outstanding abilities or made special contributions. Among them, the top scholar and the third-level official, usually enter the first level after a very short time or as soon as they pass the imperial examination. It is a special situation. The officials below are often transferred to officials. Even if you die, you will not have any impression of the senior officials of the court, and you will not know that you are.
In the northwest counties and counties, if they want to attract capable officials, Xu Ping tried his best to get more positions in the hall. He also suggested adding a job subsidy to these remote places, but the economic benefits were too attractive to officials of this era. If the separation of the halls is often adjusted, it is sufficiently attractive to middle and lower-level officials.
Because the officials are often transferred according to the text and follow the rules, and the direct qualifications are adopted, and the public officials of the Judicial Officer and Liu Neiquan have too much room for operation. In view of the constant drawbacks, in this era, together with the third class of military officers in charge of middle and lower levels, they all adopted the method of shooting. Whenever there is a quota, the ranking will be released and posted at the door of the yamen, and the officials of the waiting yamen were pointed at. That is, the officials of the Waiting Que took a fancy to which position and met the qualifications on the list, so they prepared their own official complaints and background texts, and went to the Judicial Officer, Liu Neiquan and Liu Neiquan and the third class of the yamen, saying that I want to be this official. The three yamen collected official information and compared it, and chose the most suitable one from the Waiting Que who was qualified and willing to hold this position.
Under the arduous conditions of establishing new counties in the northwest, if the prefecture and county officials are often transferred to officials for shooting, the result can be imagined. If one is not good, he will face the embarrassment of the previous Lingnan official position. Some positions have been posted in the yamen for several years, or even exaggerated to the 20 or 30 years, no one will be the official. If the positions for shooting are conducted, officials cannot be sent to force them to be sent, so local road-level officials have to recruit them from the local area and take positions in the name of the powerful officials. With such treatment, many of Xu Ping's policies will not be implemented.
The stylist cannot completely prevent fraud by public officials. A common practice is to make a fuss about the qualifications. This position requires special qualifications, such as how many years he has been an official, how many years he has been a civil servant, and how many years he has served, and he is not a person who has been missing the information of the official, and he could not have expected that there might be only one person in the capital to meet the qualifications. This position naturally disappeared and fell into the hands of the person who gave gifts to the officials in charge. When Sang Yi returned to the capital to change his official position, he was asked for bribes by the public officials in the Third Class Court. Sang Yi was angry and arrived in Yongzhou because the positions in Yongzhou were hung in the gate of the Third Class Court for many years, and no one was stylist at all. Sang Yi did not need to be free from others.
Xu Ping's current status is lower than that of Li Di and Lu Yijian in the court, and even Deputy Prime Minister Yan Shu cannot suppress him. However, if he does not enter the Political Affairs Hall for a day, he cannot decide which ones are divided and which ones are often transferred, and cannot give enough political and political experience to newly established county officials in the northwest. He cannot attract talents, and his future will be uncertain after his efforts in the past two years.
