Five hundred and thirtieth chapters back the pot
"The people must be careful when recruiting people. Now that the people in Guanzhong are not stable and the people are not attached, we are hiring rather than recruiting. The money will be given, and the price is not low, so they can rest assured that they are not doing vacancies. In addition, food and accommodation are calculated separately. If the project can be accelerated and ended early, there will be rewards for money, but not too much."
On September 17th, the sixth year of Zhangwu, it was already late autumn. The subsequent impact of the Battle of Guanzhong had gradually been eliminated. However, if you want to make a big move at this time, you must prevent the people who have just stabilized from changing again. Therefore, Zhuge Liang was very cautious in his responsible recruitment of civil servants.
Early in the morning, Liu Yi had just entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw that Zhuge Liang had already started a busy day.
"Bo Song, when will the Prime Minister get up to work?" Liu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang's adopted son Zhuge Qiao and asked.
Zhuge Qiao was Zhuge Jin's second son. Because Zhuge Liang had no descendants yet, he adopted Zhuge Liang. However, Zhuge Liang treated this adopted son as his own and was quite strict. Now, as a prime minister, he has a salary of 300 stones. This official position is too low compared to the second generation who have gradually become famous. But this is what Zhuge Liang meant. He should practice Zhuge Qiao at the grassroots level. As the prime minister, Zhuge Liang was very strict with his own moral integrity and ethics. In order to avoid gossip, it was very strict for the children who were in the family who were officials.
"Often you wake up when the Yin and Mao alternate, and come here to handle government affairs at three o'clock in the morning." Zhuge Qiao bowed and said.
Liu Yi nodded and signaled Zhuge Qiao to go and sit down in Zhuge Liang's hall to help Zhuge Liang share some things. Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Yi, nodded slightly, and continued to handle government affairs.
At present, Guanzhong has newly established many things to be implemented, and Zhuge Liang is rigorous by nature. He must personally inquire about these major issues related to people's livelihood to be at ease.
The two of them did not complete their official duties until the beginning of Si Shi.
"Thank you, Bo Yuan. If you hadn't come to help, I'd probably end it before I could get it." Zhuge Liang stretched his waist and smiled at Liu Yi.
"You, let the officials in the palace do these things, you have done them all, then Prime Minister Sizhi, Prime Minister and Chief Secretary, what are the Prime Minister's activities? What are the salaries of the court's white hair?" Liu Yi twisted his neck and looked at Zhuge Liang speechlessly.
"It is related to people's livelihood, how can we ignore it?" Zhuge Liang sighed, mainly because he was not very relieved.
"You! I will exhaust myself sooner or later." Liu Yi did not agree with Zhuge Liang's idea: "Yes, now things are just in Jingzhao, you can get busy, but in the future, will you recover lost territory? Or do you? The manpower is poor, you are the prime minister, not a minor official. Instead of focusing on these things, it is better to let them do it and have a child quickly."
"Boyuan!" Zhuge Liang looked at him with a smile and cried, "What would he do if it were Boyuan?"
"Leave the things to them." Liu Yi pointed to Si Zhi who was serving tea and water, "A good official from Qianshi, you have to be a servant. People are not born with anything, so let them do it. As the top leader here, what you have to do is correct them in time when problems arise. In this way, in a few years, you will have more capable officials around you. The officials who were invited by the court to serve tea and water here. How unfair is this money spent?"
"What Bo Yuan said makes some sense." Zhuge Liang nodded, thinking.
In fact, how could Zhuge Liang not understand the truth? But he was afraid of making mistakes, especially at this time, Guanzhong must be stable.
"It's not reasonable, but fact. Listen to me. Let them do these things tomorrow. You are still sitting here. If they have any questions, you can ask them and help solve them. But if there are more than three times and they are replaced directly, it means they can't do it. The people invited by Hua Qianshi of the imperial court are not here to have idle meals." Liu Yi said very bluntly. Zhuge Liang's personality must be broken up for the other party. It would be fine if there was no one available in Shu Han in history. Now Liu Bei has a lot of talents, so it's wrong for Zhuge Liang to take on such a big burden.
"But..." Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile.
"No, these things can be solved in one hour, but you spend most of your time alone. You seem to be diligent, but in fact, you are losing talents." Liu Yi pointed to the officials around him and said, "If you don't use them, you will be ruined. No matter how talented you are, you have to give him the opportunity to experience them, otherwise you will do everything and they will depend on you. Over time, these carefully selected talents will become nothing."
Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and nodded. He knew the truth about Liu Yi, but it was okay in normal times, but when something big happened, just like now, the entire Guanzhong problem needs to be solved urgently, Zhuge Liang was a little worried and unconsciously took everything on himself and did it.
"All the Sikong Mansion has been done?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi and asked.
"It's just some resource allocation issues. The way from Hanzhong to this side was repaired by people from Hanzhong. I went there and sent the money, leaving people to supervise it, and sent the progress back regularly. It takes some time to mobilize resources here. In terms of manpower, you just said that coordination is a problem and cannot stir up civil unrest. Supervision has been done at least three levels in various places, one by one, and one by one. The possibility of problems is not high, so now I spend most of my time with my wife and children every day." Liu Yi nodded. He was willing to let go of things. Now he has gathered a group of capable officials. Many things don't need to worry about, but he is much more carefree than Zhuge Liang.
What's more, there are also assistance from the young governments in various places. The young governments are basically the people he brought out, so they naturally have a tacit understanding in terms of coordination and cooperation.
"What Bo Yuan said is very much." Zhuge Liang nodded and looked at Liu Yi and said, "I wonder why Bo Yuan is here today?"
"In terms of manpower coordination, Ji County and Chen Cang chose two tracks to shop first this time, and 30,000 people were mobilized in Hanzhong. I plan to start construction from Chen Cang and Ji County to connect with each other. At least 10,000 people are needed. It is best to hire locally from that area. The money is ready, so I will be sent to you." Liu Yi smiled.
"This is not difficult. You can get enough people in the Wugong area in Mei County. As long as you get the money, there is no other problem." Zhuge Liang nodded, took over the document handed over by Liu Yi, read it once and there was no problem, and took out his seal and stamped it.
Liu Yi was not dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's attitude. He and Zhuge Liang both had a more pragmatic personality, and it was not easy to make mistakes if he did this.
"Okay, then I'll leave first, come tomorrow." Liu Yi put away the document, stood up and smiled.
"Tomorrow?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Yi in confusion. The matter was over, what else to do tomorrow?
"You are sick and need to be cured." Liu Yi looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "I am really worried that on the day when the world is pacified, you will be exhausted by yourself, or I will talk to my sister-in-law and ask her to supervise it? I'm afraid I won't do it."
Zhuge Liang: "..."
In the end, he compromised and agreed to Liu Yi's idea of supervising him in the future. He was a dignified prime minister and his position was slightly higher than Liu Yi, but now he is going to be supervised by Liu Yi. How can I reason about this?
"Let's go, I'll take the blame for your previous move in the end. Now I'm almost a public enemy of the scholar." Liu Yi put away the documents and waved to Zhuge Liang.
Previously, Zhuge Lian's sudden attack on corruption and sent the money from the house to Liu Yi, but now Liu Yi is in the officialdom, but he is not popular.
Zhuge Liang showed a polite smile on his face and stood up to see him off.
Although Liu Yi was ranked among the third ministers, his current situation was not very good. The previous investigation was reasonable and well-founded, and the incident had already happened. The families behind them could not say anything, and it was even more impossible to show dissatisfaction with Liu Bei because of this, and even Zhuge Liang could not do it. Therefore, this dissatisfaction was finally posted on Liu Yi.
However, Liu Yi is not a person who had only Liu Bei's trust and had no foundation at all. He was ranked among the third official, but not just his ability. Liu Yi's connections have grown little by little on the territory of the Han Dynasty, and they have grown to the point where even if these people are dissatisfied, they cannot move.
After this series of cleanups of county-level units, most of the newly appointed students were academy disciples, especially in Guanzhong, which accounted for almost 70%. Liu Yi’s construction work this time was mainly connected with local young governments. Those books were Liu Yi’s lineage, and others could not interfere. With the cooperation of county magistrates from all over the country, the financial power was in the hands of Liu Yi. In this way, at least it would be impossible to make Liu Yi’s reconstruction second this time, and he could only show up in a dignified duel from the open.
Now that Guanzhong is newly established, everything is in trouble and the people are not in favor of their support, Liu Yi's large-scale construction will definitely cause dissatisfaction, and many places are even secretly instigating the people to resist the recruitment.
However, Liu Yi said clearly that it is employed and gets money every day, so people can still raise it. After all, it is the slack season, and the income of a hundred yuan a day is not low for ordinary people. Ordinary people have their wisdom and will not openly work with aristocratic families. However, when the county government order is issued, they will still come to apply. After all, is the court the largest?
Sometimes, interests can indeed be exchanged for people's hearts. Local people are not the same as local tyrants, so the problem is much easier to deal with, and it also promotes the popularity and control of new county magistrates in various places in the local area. This is a win-win situation for the court. Of course, if the 3 billion yuan is paid, Liu Bei's heartache has never been over.
