Chapter 22: The Chief Sima
After Zhao He returned home, Zhao He first took a good rest at home for three days, and then began to take office.
The first origin of the position of Grand Sima was roughly the "Li of Zhou", which described above: "The position of Grand Sima is in charge of the nine laws of building a country, and assisting the king in pacifying the country.
…The law of the country is corrected by nine attacks.”
But now it is the end of the Warring States Period, which is nearly a thousand years old. Now the land under the rule of the Zhou emperor is not as large as the Zhao State, and the Zhao State has long stopped using the Zhou Dynasty.
According to the definition of King Zhao, the Grand Sima was a brand new official position specially established to commend Zhao Kuo's contribution. It belonged to the deputy general Lian Po, equivalent to the deputy marshal of Zhao's military and horses and the second person in the Zhao military.
As a Grand Sima, you must have your own office office.
Zhao Kuo's Grand Sima Office is located on a wide street in the southwest corner of Handan. Next door is Lian Po's General Office Office, and next door is Pingyuan Jun's Xiangbang Office, Pingyang Jun's Siko Office, Lin Xiangru's Internal Historian Office, etc.
Simply put, Zhao Kuo became neighbors with a group of top bosses, because he is now one of the top bosses of Zhao! Zhao Kuo, who went to work on the first day, sat in the lobby, and hundreds of Zhao officials saluted him: "I have met the Grand Sima!"
Many people secretly looked at Zhao Kuo, with an excited expression on their faces, just like fans seeing their idols.
There is no way, Zhao Kuo's record is really impressive! I have to say that seeing a group of officials saluting him, it feels a little bit cool.
Xu Li brought a list and said, "Master, this is the list of all officials."
Although the Grand Sima was a newly opened official office, the officials were basically all equipped, but most of them were deputy officers, and some more critical official positions were free to be left for Zhao Kuo to decide.
Zhao Kuo was also unceremonious and came up and said, "From today on, Xu Li will be the chief secretary of the Grand Sima Office! As for other official positions, this general has a list here, and someone will take office soon."
After all, Zhao Kuo's father Zhao She was also named Ma Fujun and had some of his own team. Now Zhao Kuo is dragged to the Grand Sima residence to do his job for him.
Of course, no one dares to object to this.
Zhao Kuo coughed and said, "Of course, as long as you do your best, you will naturally have a way to get promoted in the future.
If I don’t do things well, I will kill you directly no matter who you are or what background you have!”
Zhao Kuo was very serious and domineering when he spoke. I listened to my territory, even the king could not point fingers here! Everyone should be.
Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's start working!"
After a while, several large baskets of wooden bamboo slips were placed in front of Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo: "..." He realized that there is no paper in this era.
Forget it, what's so great about bamboo slips? I will review them the same as me! Zhao Kuo picked up his pen and began to review them carefully.
The Grand Sima actually divided some of the powers that originally belonged to the General, specifically, military law and logistics.
If someone in the army breaks the law during the war, it will naturally be directly punished by the general. In peacetime, it is different. Any officer with more than 500 officers who break the law must report to Zhao Kuo, the Grand Sima, to deal with it.
Logistics is easier to understand, and food, supplies, weapons and equipment are also under the jurisdiction of Zhao Kuo.
To be honest, this power is actually quite large.
However, the real core power is like the power to mobilize troops under the control of King Zhao himself, while another extremely important personnel power is controlled by General Lian Po, so Zhao Kuo is indeed worthy of his name.
Zhao Kuo looked at the file sent and slowly frowned.
"Two five hundred masters duels because of a woman, one of them was killed and the other was imprisoned?"
"In order to compete for a rewarded fertile land, two thousand generals gathered their subordinates to confront each other, and almost broke out in a conflict?"
"A hundred generals risked their lives to rescue a thousand generals. Thousand generals promised to promote him to the five hundred masters, but they did not do it. In the end, the hundred generals were angry and killed Thousand generals with swords?"
...These things are actually not difficult to judge, but they gave Zhao Kuo a deeper understanding of the ancients'... wind, this "Yan and Zhao Feng".
After working for a day, Zhao Kuo felt soreness in his back and cramps in his hands.
A bamboo slip is not too heavy, but it has to be reviewed hundreds or even hundreds of copies a day, so the combined weight is a bit scary.
According to the historical knowledge in Zhao Kuo's mind, the diligent maniac Qin Shihuang can review memorials with a total weight of hundreds of kilograms in a day, and he persists for decades! He can even exercise his body by placing files, which Zhao Kuo did not expect.
Moreover, there were no chairs in this era, and everyone was sitting (the kind of kneeling sitting that Japanese people learned to be the ones they learned in Japan). After sitting for a day, they felt so sore. Zhao Kuo, who worked at high intensity at the first day, didn't stand up all of a sudden, and almost fell down and ate the dog.
After moving his body for a while, Zhao Kuo walked out of his office and prepared to go home.
Xu Li appeared next to Zhao Kuo on time: "Master, the carriage is ready."
Zhao Kuo glanced at Xu Li and said in a gentle tone: "Uncle Xu, you are also the chief minister now. No one in this official office is bigger than you except me. You don't need to do this in the future."
Xu Li said seriously: "The lord is so bad. He will be a minister for one day and be a minister for the rest of his life. He will receive great kindness from his ancestors and the lord. How dare he be arrogant?
Lord, please get on the car.”
Zhao Kuo sighed. These ancients were indeed a bit stubborn in this regard, but it has to be said that this stubbornness is still of a very excellent quality in Zhao Kuo's opinion.
After Zhao Kuo got on the carriage, Xu Li also followed in the carriage.
As the carriage drove out of the official office, Zhao Kuo suddenly spoke, "How is the situation familiar?"
Xu Li seemed to be prepared for a long time, and said to him, "I already have some clues, and I should be able to control it in a few days."
The Grand Sima Office is a new official office, so many officials are dispatched from other official offices, and it is inevitable that some other people's attention will be mixed.
Zhao Kuo didn't want others to know everything he did. It is necessary to remove the eyeliner. This is what Xu Li is doing.
After explaining a few more words, Zhao Kuo opened the window and pointed to the General Office next to the Grand Sima Office next to the Grand Sima Office and said, "Turn in and find General Lian Po."
