The establishment of the Han Dynasty itself was the product of the integration of the Qin Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty systems.

It neither split the land and enthroned the marquis directly handed over power to the local government like the Zhou Dynasty, nor was it completely controlled by the emperor to appoint local officials like the Qin Dynasty, forming a complete centralized power.

The Han Dynasty had both, combining the strengths of both, but it also produced such disadvantages.

But at this moment, for Guo Peng, this rule is undoubtedly of great benefit.

When Guo Peng was a lieutenant, he did not have the qualifications to be an official, so he could only win over talents by taking chances, family background and personal prestige.

This will either win over your own family, such as the Cao brothers and the Xiahou brothers.

Either they are poor scholars from poor backgrounds who have no background, such as Cheng Li.

Or they are purely low-level civil servants, such as Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

There are also businessmen who are rich but have low social status, such as Mi.

Others, who have some social identities, will not come to join Guo Peng because Guo Peng cannot let them be officials. In the legal sense, Guo Peng does not have the power and qualification to appoint officials himself.

Cheng Li, the chief of the army, Zang Hong's army Sima, the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers and others, were all public offices in the army. Guo Peng recommended it and served as the imperial court.

In the legal sense, there is no second-level relationship between them and Guo Peng.

The so-called "lord" or "Ming Gong" can only be called senior military officers or officials with qualifications to open a government.

The three dukes in the court, who were highly named General, the governor of the local prefectures, the prefect of the county, and the prime minister of the state. These officials had the qualifications and power to establish officials in the court to be called "Lord" or "Ming Gong".

The title of lord appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty and originated from the title of Ming Gong, which was the leading one in the Western Han Dynasty.

But the key point is that those who call their superiors this way are officials appointed by their superiors as the lord of the palace. When they hold the official position granted by the lord of the palace, they will call the lord of the government who is appointed as the lord or Ming Gong to show respect and gratitude.

With such a level of identity, Guo Peng has the qualifications to build his own team of disciples and former officials. Of course, he does not have the qualifications to teach disciples in classics and cannot be considered an disciple. At most, he is considered an old official.

This is also a treatment that many people can meet but not expect.

Once he became the prefect of the county, he could establish an official and become a prefecture. In Shanggu County, Guo Peng was the king's position, and he created his own power openly and appointed officials loyal to him.

This kind of thing is really wonderful.

In a county, except for the county magistrate, the chief magistrate and the county magistrates and the county magistrates of various places, the other officials are appointed by the court, and are subordinates under the prefect.

Generally speaking, considering the relationship between transportation issues and local protectionism, county insiders are basically chosen to serve as the county.

However, Shanggu County belongs to the border county and is the front line against the Xianbei. It has suffered repeated wars, is sparsely populated and has high mobility, so it is not easy to form local forces, so there are few scholars and many officials need to come from other counties.

When Gao Yan left, most of the original Shanggu County administrative team had chosen to leave with Gao Yan. They were all Gao Yan's former officials and he hired them, so they naturally followed him.

The county magistrate, the chief magistrate and the chief magistrate were nominally appointed by the court, but most of them were recommended by the prefect. The appointment of the prefect is no different from the prefect's official position.

They basically knew that Guo Peng would not appoint them, so they resigned on their own and could follow Gao Yan after waiting for Guo Peng to handle the handover and continue to become an official in another place.

Guo Peng soon arrived at the county seat Juyang County and Gao Yan to handle the handover, took over the seal and ribbon of the prefect of Shanggu, and everyone under his command and everyone under Gao Yan also handled the handover.

At this time, Guo Peng was worried and found that his talents were not enough.

Cheng Li must stay by his side.

Guo Peng planned to give Cheng Li a formal identity as a prefect, let him become Gongcao, and determine the relationship between the second monarch. From then on, Cheng Li could call Guo Peng Ming or lord.

Gongcao is a very important position in the county bureaucratic system and belongs to the Right Cao.

The Han system was respected by the right, so important subordinates were called right officials or right Cao at that time.

In a county, Gongcao, five-staff officer, supervisor, and chief clerk are all qualified to take charge of public affairs, while the rest of the Cao can only take charge of their own positions.

When the Eastern Han Dynasty developed to this day, the political rules were almost to regard the county as the country. The prefect of the county who founded the prefecture was like a monarch to the officials in the county, so they had the honorary title of "官网", and Gongcao was equivalent to the prime minister of the country.

So Guo Peng did not hesitate to hand over Gongcao's position to Cheng Li, officially appointed Cheng Li as Gongcao, and gave him a salary, allowing him to follow him to do things, and never leave him.

Then there is the Five-Second Cao. The Five-Second Cao is an honorary position. It is not necessarily in charge, and it can also be taken care of. Basically, it is a perfect match. If Gongcao is lacking, the Five-Second Cao will be used to temporarily serve Gongcao, etc., and the status is very high.

Guo Pengsi thought about this position and handed over it to Zang Hong. In addition, he also expressed his support for Zang Hong as the county magistrate, for his contribution to Zang Hong's years of war with him.

Guo Peng took into account that Zang Hong had an additional identity, so in addition to establishing an official, he also stated that he was the county magistrate and gave him the identity of the court. Zang Hong could also take the salary given to him by Guo Peng and receive the salary of the court.

As the prefect of the county, the general's eyes and eyes clearly distinguishes good and evil from the outside, and his main accusation is to supervise the county government.

The scope of supervision is that there are two departments, three departments, four departments and five departments in a county. The main subjects of supervision are the county magistrates and officials who are affiliated to investigate their good and evil and whether they are competent, and then report to the government to reward and punish them, and sometimes they are authorized to arrest criminals.

There are many people who can be appointed. Shanggu County has eight counties under its jurisdiction. Guo Peng decided to divide the county into four departments, and each department will arrange a supervisor.

There is no doubt about this. Guo Peng asked the opinions of the Xiahou brothers and the Cao brothers, but they did not object. So Guo Peng officially appointed Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren and Cao Hong as subordinate officials, and was appointed as supervisors and also in charge of military positions.

He also represented Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun as left and right commanders, in charge of the Great Wall Defense.

In addition, there were only a dozen local officials left in the prefect of Shanggu.

Except for a warehouse named Rongliang, the rest are small officials such as secretary and assistant officials, which is enough to reflect the lack of local talents in Shanggu County.

There is no way. The population of Shanggu County is not as high as that of Zhuo County, and now it is less than 100,000. The disadvantages of the border counties are here, but at the same time, the advantages of the border counties can also be reflected.

There are few powerful people and few landlords, and the local forces are almost destroyed by war and basically do not exist. The authority of the prefect is much higher than that of many mainland counties and states.

Moreover, Guo Peng was also the General of Guru Wuhuan, and he was in charge of military and political power in Shanggu County and had prestige. He also listened to him at Wuhuan Youshan Nanlou, Shanggu County, and this position seemed even more special.

Even so, Guo Peng, who has great power, feels that he does not have enough civil servants to take on existing positions.

After thinking about it, it was not a temporary moment to establish an official from another place. Now, we must first build an administrative team to declare our governance of Shanggu County. We must give up those who have a little bit of cultural level when they know the text and make a little bit of cultural level.
