Chapter 2890: Guan Yiwu, the governor of Yanzhou, is short of food and still burns it?

Chapter 2886: Guan Yiwu, the governor of Yanzhou, is short of food and still burns it?

The reason why Ying Hao chose Guan Zhong was not only because he was suitable, but also because if he did not interfere, Guan Zhong's normal promotion speed would be too slow.

  Guan Zhong, the first prime minister of China, has too gorgeous five-dimensional attributes: 100 commander, 78 force (+3), 101 intelligence, 105 politics, 103 charm, and 100 education;

To put it bluntly, only Ying Hao in Da Qin was better than him in terms of attributes, but Ying Hao was able to cheat, while Guan Zhong relied solely on himself, which is quite rare.

With such a strong ability as Guan Zhong, Ying Hao naturally wanted to reuse it, but he was born too late, after the war against Japan.

Da Qin has its own set of official promotion systems. No matter how much Ying Hao values ​​​​a person, he must also pay attention to propriety in appointing officials.

As an emperor, Ying Hao can directly intervene in the appointment of officials, but if he is promoted without merit and his virtue is not worthy of his position, then he will not be valued, but praised.

Fortunately, the identity implanted in the system for Guan Zhong is that of a veteran of the Jin Dynasty, and his position is Bingzhou Bijiajie. This level is not low. Otherwise, if he were to be promoted from the bottom bit by bit, Ying Hao would also have a headache, and he might even be promoted. There is no need for Guan Zhong's sharp blade, so he can only leave it to his son in the future.

  The position that Guan Zhong held when he was born was Bingzhou Biejia. He was already the second-in-command in the administration of a state, and his next promotion was to the position of governor. However, the appointment of Guan Zhong at that time caused Ying Hao to face difficulties.

The timing of Guan Zhong's birth was a bit awkward. Even if he had a system-implanted identity, it was not enough for him to be directly promoted to the governor of a state.

 Who are the governors of the ten states of Qin Dynasty?

 Sizhou Governor, Wang Anshi;

 Yongzhou governor, Wu Qi;

 Youzhou governor, Wei Yang;

 Zhuge Liang, governor of Jizhou;

 The governor of Bingzhou, Fang Xuanling;

 Qingzhou Governor, Fan Zhongyan;

 Jingzhou governor, Zhang Jiuling;

 Hezhou governor, Wen Tianxiang;

 Liangzhou Governor, Qin Ji;

 Yingzhou Governor, Qin Zheng;

Out of the above ten governors, except for Qin Ji, the governor of Liangzhou, who is slightly weaker, the other nine governors can serve as prime ministers of a country individually.

But even for Qin Ji, when he served as the governor of Liangzhou, Da Qin only had one and a half counties in Liangzhou. With his ability, identity, and status, being the governor of a state with only one and a half counties was considered humiliation.

 The military generals of the Qin Dynasty are also involved in the rolls, as well as the civil servants.

 The Qin Dynasty's national strength has developed rapidly in recent years, and all aspects have been significantly improved. Naturally, these top ten governors have also made outstanding political achievements, and each of them has solid political achievements.

Although Ying Hao wanted to reuse Guan Zhong, if he wanted to promote Guan Zhong to an official position, he would have to remove one of these ten people. However, it would not be good for anyone to replace Guan Zhong.

 As for the promotion of these ten people? Then they can only be promoted within the court, but it would be too wasteful to allow these state governors who were sent out to serve in the Sixth Department of the Central Government.

Moreover, there are many ministers with outstanding merits in the Qin Dynasty. These people have basically occupied all the positions in the court. Only if they are promoted can the seats be vacated in the court. But if Wang Meng, the prime minister, does not move his position, naturally the people below will also. No way to get promoted.

That’s right, the prime culprit is still Wang Meng.

As the head of a hundred officials, Wang Meng has been unable to rise in his position. Now he is blocking the promotion channels of a group of people by himself.

Of course, there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, the Qin Dynasty has only been established for four years. Even if ministers have merit, they cannot be promoted too quickly, otherwise they will soon fall into a situation where there is no promotion.

 This is the situation Guan Zhong faced. He did not have enough merit to be promoted to the governor, and he was demoted to the post of prefect. He was right, and he could not be demoted for no reason.

Faced with this thorny problem, Ying Hao struggled for a long time, and finally decided to transfer Guan Zhong from Bingzhou to Jingzhou to continue to serve as a special commander. In this way, there would be no problem of demotion, and Jingzhou is on the front line, so with Guan Zhong His ability will surely make him successful quickly.

Guan Zhong did not live up to Ying Hao's expectations. After taking office as Jingzhou Biejia, he quickly flourished both military and political affairs. In terms of government affairs, he assisted the governor Zhang Jiuling to solve many problems. In terms of military affairs, he served as a military adviser to the governor Xue Rengui, and played a decisive role in the Jiangling Battle. role.

With Guan Zhong's current achievements, he can naturally be promoted to governor, but he is not the only one who can be promoted, such as: Di Renjie in Yongzhou, Zhong Yao in Jizhou, Gu Yong in Hezhou, and Zhang Hong in Youzhou. ;

There are five people who can be promoted to governor, but Da Qin only has two more governors, Yanzhou and Haizhou.

After Li Jing destroyed the Sui Dynasty, the land of Qiang, also known as Haizhou, was basically determined by passing the imperial edict, so now the position of governor of Haizhou is also vacant.

 Guan Zhong has been appointed as the governor of Yanzhou by Ying Hao. As for the candidate for the governor of Haizhou, Ying Hao decided to let Di Renjie be the one.

 "It is my will to transfer Jingzhou Biejia Guan Zhong to be the governor of Yanzhou, and to transfer Yongzhou Biejia Di Renjie to be the governor of Haizhou." Ying Hao ordered in a deep voice.

The reason why Di Renjie was chosen was naturally because Haizhou was conquered by the Yongliang army, and Di Renjie belonged to the Yongliang faction. His rise to power was internally digested by the Yongliang faction, and there would be no opposition from above or below.

Guan Zhong was not only Jingzhou Biejia, but also Xue Rengui's military advisor. When he left, Biejia and the military advisor were both vacant, so Ying Hao naturally had to find someone to fill the vacancy;

 “Assigned Yongzhou Military Advisor Baili Xi to serve as Jingzhou’s farewell driver, and concurrently served as Ling Jingzhou Military Advisor;”

 Baili Xi has an intelligence score of 97 and a politics score of 101. Whether he is serving as a military advisor to assist the governor, or as a military advisor assisting the governor, he can take on both roles.

Having sealed two governors in a row, Ying Hao naturally assigned them an assistant.

"Li Kui, who was in charge of Yongzhou, was transferred to serve as a farewell officer in Yongzhou, Xiao He, the governor of Yanmen County, was appointed as a farewell commander in Haizhou, and Yu Qian, the prefect of Liaodong, was appointed as a farewell commander in Yanzhou." As the first civil servant in Li and Tang Dynasties, Li Kui knew Yongzhou well. He was originally the best candidate for Yongzhou Biejia, but he was a demoted general before and was not suitable for occupying a high position as soon as he came up. Now that Di Renjie has been promoted, he can naturally fill the position, and re-using Li Kui can also make Li Tang The generals are relieved.

Xiao He is worthy of being one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty. Although he has done well in Yanmen over the years, it is limited to this. After all, Yanmen is the birthplace of the Qin Dynasty and has a high degree of development. Even Xiao He cannot accumulate too high political achievements. .

But the Haizhou that he had just returned to was different. Han, Qiang and Hu ethnic groups lived there, and it was close to the Tubo Kingdom on the plateau. It was a place where it was very easy to make political achievements.

Given Xiao He's political attributes, I believe he can definitely assist Di Renjie and govern Haizhou well. Maybe Xiao He will be selected for promotion to the governor next time.

As for Yu Qian, when he was the governor of Liaodong, he was overqualified and underused, because until the civil war between the Qing and Jin Dynasties ended, it would be impossible for the Manchu Qing to go south.

There is no war in Youzhou, but Yu Qian, a talented man with both civil and military skills, is allowed to stay in Liaodong as the governor, so it is naturally difficult to give full play to his talent.

But it's different when you come to Yanzhou. Although Biejia is a civil servant, frontline civil servants can also lead the army, such as Wu Qi, so Yu Qian can better display his talents by attacking Yanzhou;

After solving the most important governors and Biejia, Ying Hao still needs to select governors for the newly acquired four counties of Yanzhou. There are even more people to choose from. After all, the eleven states of Daqin total more than 150 In counties, as long as they are prefects and county magistrates with good political performance, they can be transferred to serve.

However, considering that Yanzhou is located on the front line and will be the logistics base for the Qin army on the front line after production is resumed, Ying Hao still gives priority to people with high political attributes and military knowledge to serve as prefects.

 After some screening, Ying Hao finally appointed: Cheng Yangku of Youfufeng County as the prefect of Yingchuan;

 Zhang Juzheng, the magistrate of Bohai County, serves as the prefect of Chenliu;

Sun Wuji, the chief minister of Fufeng County, serves as the prefect of Dongjun;

Ji Dan, the Prime Minister of Wuwei County, served as the prefect of Jiyin;

Although the eldest of the four, Sun Wuji and Ji Dan, were demoted generals, their abilities were strong enough. Zhang Juzheng's commander attribute was low, so Ying Hao made him the prefect of Chenliu. After all, after occupying Jiyin County, Chenliu no longer Bordering an enemy country.

In addition, Ying Hao also appointed four peasant officials, Zao Zhi, Han Hao, Ren Jun, and Jia Sixie, to serve as county magistrates of the four counties respectively, to assist the prefects of the four counties in presiding over the restoration and reproduction of the four counties.

Ying Hao couldn't help but let out a long breath after issuing dozens of imperial edicts. Although he had a way to crack Cao Cao's conspiracy, the prerequisite was that his subordinates could implement his plan thoroughly.

Guan Zhong serves as the governor of Yanzhou, Yu Qian serves as the commander, Yang Ku, Zhang Juzheng, Sun Wuji, and Ji Dan serve as the prefects of the four counties, and Zao Zhi, Han Hao, Ren Jun, and Jia Sixie serve as the county magistrates of the four counties. I believe that it will not be long before the Qin Dynasty can control the four counties. The county was completely digested and a piece of iron was built to provide blood transfusion to the army on the front line.

While Ying Hao was closing his eyes and concentrating, Guo Jia on the side said again: "Your Majesty, Jia has a plan that may be able to add a batch of emergency rations to our army."

Ying Hao immediately became energetic after hearing this, and asked quickly: "Fengxiao, please come quickly."

"Your Majesty, Yingchuan, no, it is the Yanzhou family. In order to integrate into our Great Qin, they are now desperately trying to show off in front of Your Majesty. Why don't you give them this opportunity."

Hearing Guo Jia mention the Yanzhou family, Ying Hao couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Although the Yingchuan family still has some surplus food, most of it was forcibly taken away by Cao Cao, and the remaining salary is a drop in the bucket and will not be of much use at all. "

Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty, the surplus grain in the hands of the Yanzhou family does not have much use, but it does not mean that they have no other uses."

 “What do you mean by Fengxiao?”

“Although the Yanzhou family has no food, they have money.”

"Yes, why did I ignore this? The Yanzhou family has money, and the people of Qin have surplus grain. We can ask them to donate money to buy grain."

With the popularization of high-yielding grain varieties, grain prices in various countries have dropped. In order to protect their own grains from leaking, all countries have banned the export of grains, so that every household except Cao Wei has a surplus of grains.

 Great Qin is naturally no exception. Even the people of Great Qin have the largest surplus of grain among the people of other countries. Therefore, Ying Hao's sixth strategy is actually to purchase grain from the hands of domestic people.

Ying Hao has sent a letter to Queen Ren Hongchang, asking her to take charge of grain purchase matters. There are basically two methods:

 First, the state treasury pays to buy grain directly from the people;

 The second is to mobilize high-ranking officials, nobles, powerful families, and ordinary people to donate money to purchase grain, or directly donate grain;

 The former is the main way to purchase grain, but it will increase Daqin’s financial pressure.

Since the latter donation is purely voluntary, it can only respond to emergencies but cannot completely solve the problem.

Now Guo Jia has proposed a third method, which is to let the Yanzhou family contribute money to help Daqin purchase grain.

The Yanzhou family was too deeply tied to Cao Wei before, and now they are eager to integrate into the Qin Dynasty and at the same time atone for their previous actions. Spending money to help Ying Hao relieve his worries is the best way to atone.

The Yanzhou family is a group. The purchasing power of dozens or hundreds of large families is definitely stronger than voluntary donations.

"This is a good idea. Since the Yanzhou Family wants to help me solve my problems so much, then I will give them this opportunity. As a filial piety, you can contact the Yanzhou Family." Ying Hao said with a smile.

After receiving the order, Guo Jia was about to leave, but before he could leave, a carrier pigeon landed on his shoulder.

After Guo Jia sighed helplessly, he took off the letterhead from the pigeon's leg. After reading it, he reported to Ying Haohui with a strange expression: "We have another channel to obtain a large amount of grain and grass, but Bai Qi wants to use this batch of grain and grass Burned."

 “What? Why is this?”

Ying Hao also looked puzzled when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Our army is short of food now. My hair is almost turning gray in order to raise food. Why does Bai Qi burn food?"
