Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 408 Province
As he said that, Wang Jing waved his hand and asked people to place maps of Huaibei, Huaidong and other places in the hall.This is the territory occupied by the Huai army at this stage.

Huaibei is already on the right track.The original seven prefectures and dozens of counties began to pay taxes and provide soldiers for Wang Jing.

When the fields were divided, Wang Jing once reduced or exempted the grain tax. Up to now, the military rations of the Huai army are still supported by the grain and grass stored in the past, and the grain and grass in the military station of the guard.

When the common people farm and wait for a bumper harvest, except for the rations and seeds, the rest of the food will always be sold.

And the grain stores under the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Department of Internal Affairs of the Palace bought grain on a large scale...

Although the Huai army has no grain tax, it hoards more and more grain.

When the tax payment starts, the number of hoarding food and grass can rise again!
These seven prefectures have become the basic base of the Huai army.

And this time.

Wang Jing and his officials set their sights on the large area south of the Huaihe River and east of the canal, which is the southern part of Huai'an Mansion and the entire Yangzhou Mansion in the Ming Dynasty.

One and a half mansions in the source world, in the Shenzhou world, because the area is too large, it must be divided into about ten mansions.

You know, the Ming Dynasty in the original world had only 160 prefectures and more than 100 counties in the Chongzhen era.

Right now, Yangzhou and southern Huai'an occupied by Wang Jingxin can be divided into ten prefectures and about one hundred counties, equivalent to one tenth of the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty.

It is equivalent to two or three provinces.

"Qingjiang Mansion and Shanyang Mansion on the south bank of the Huaihe River will not be moved, Yancheng Mansion can be set up in the east, and Baoying Mansion can be set up in the south..."

Shen Yi, Wang Guangyang and others began to speak.

According to the terrain of mountains and rivers and the number of people under the rule, he began to make suggestions.

Their opinion is to set up Jinhu Mansion, Baoying Mansion, Gaoyou Mansion, Xinghua Mansion, Taizhou Mansion, Taixing Mansion, Yancheng Mansion, Dongtai Mansion, Nantong Mansion and the most core Yangzhou Mansion in the south of Huaihe River from west to east. .

There are ten prefectures in total, and if you count the Guishan prefecture established earlier, there are eleven prefectures.

Each mansion covers a large area of ​​land, and there are at least nine counties, dozens of towns, and countless villages under the mansion...

According to the rules of the Huai army.

The government directly goes down to the townships, that is to say, there are nearly a hundred officials in a government, such as magistrates, Fu Cheng, Tui Guan, county magistrates, county magistrates, town chiefs, and village officials.

Coupled with the maintenance of public security inspections, county lieutenants, and other Liucao officials, more officials need to be filled.

The Huai army has won a complete victory, expanding its territory twice, but the gap in employing people has also doubled.

"Also...according to the current division, there are [-] mansions under the center, and each mansion has a lot of things to report. The staff of the three provinces and six departments of the center cannot handle so many things!"

"Above the mansion, we need to set up provinces. The center only takes care of major issues, and other things are under the jurisdiction of the provinces. Only in this way can we cut down the complexity and make the center focus on competing with other princes!"

Wang Guangyang suggested.

Setting up a province is tantamount to putting the power of the administrative herdsmen into the hands of the three ministers of the province. This is the separation of power from the monarch... However, the division of the center, provinces, and prefectures and counties has existed since ancient times until the advent of Wang Jing It has been used before, so there is a reason for it.

Human energy is limited.

As a monarch who ruled tens of millions of people, Wang Jing couldn't focus on those trivial matters. This was something that middle and low-level officials needed to consider.

When it comes to the monarch, the prime minister, and the officials of the central group, what they have to consider is the whole, the outline, and the operation of yin and yang.

What they have to think about is the "outline", and what the local officials have to do is the "eyes".

The higher Wang Jing's status, the more enlightened he was.

He suddenly thought of what General Fubo Ma Yuan said about Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu in history,

At that time, Ma Yuan was working under Kai Xiao's command, and the other party sent him to the capital to investigate the reality of the world's heroes. After returning, Kai Xiao asked Liu Xiu what kind of person he was.

Ma Yuan spoke very highly of Liu Xiu, saying that he is a man of courage and strategy, and he is not an enemy.

Moreover, Liu Xiu is open-minded, open and honest, has nothing to hide, and is open-minded and informal. In this respect, he is similar to Han Gaozu Liu Bang.Moreover, Liu Xiu has read all kinds of classic books and is familiar with political documents. In this respect, none of the previous kings can surpass him.

Kai Xiao asked again, how does Liu Xiu compare with Liu Bang?

However, Ma Yuan said that Liu Xiu was inferior to Liu Bang, and said that Liu Bang did not have to do things well, and he must not do well.And Liu Xiu likes to deal with government affairs, is very strict with herself in everything, and doesn't like drinking.

Kai Xiao was very dissatisfied immediately, thinking that Ma Yuan was teasing him. According to Ma Yuan's statement, Liu Xiu is not much better than Liu Bang?

Liu Xiu is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, whether it is politics or leading troops, he is top-notch. If he governs the world, he can compare with those famous prime ministers in history, such as Xiao He and Fang Du. Leading troops in person is comparable to the top marshals...

And Liu Bang is just a rogue leader.

"Liu Xiu handles government affairs in person, has strict requirements, and doesn't like to drink... This is the nose and eyebrows. According to historical records, when Liu Xiu died, he was still holding a red pen to review the memorials. Like! And Liu Bang's nothing is impossible, he put himself at the level of outline and overview of yin and yang! The means are indeed a level higher than Liu Xiu's!"

Such a thought flashed through Wang Jing's mind.

He collected himself and asked: "In my opinion, how should the eighteen prefectures be divided, and how many provinces should be established?"

Wang Guangyang pondered slightly.

"In my opinion, it is better to set up the seven prefectures of Huaibei as the Huaibei Province, Huainan, with the canal as the line, establish Huaixi Province in the west, and Jiangdu Province in the east..."

According to Wang Guangyang's suggestion, Huaibei Province has seven prefectures, and Jiangdu Province also has seven prefectures.

There are only four prefectures in Huaixi Province, Guishan, Jinhu, Baoying and Gaoyou.

"Wang Shangyingwu, from now on our army will move westward, Fengyang, Chuzhou and other places will be brought under the rule sooner or later. The scope of the three major provinces is only initially established, and there will be adjustments in the future..."

Wang Jing thought about it carefully, and felt that Wang Guangyang's suggestion was okay.

"Shen Yi, what's your opinion?"

Wang Jing asked.

Shen Yi said: "I agree with Mr. Wang's opinion. Our army's eastern territory has reached the seashore. In the future, the provinces of Huaibei and Jiangdu will be stabilized. There is still a lot of room for expansion in the four prefectures of Huaixi! But Jiangdu will do. Yangzhou Prefecture in the province, I thought it would be better to set it as Zhili Prefecture..."

Now the center of the Huai army is in Sihong, but it will definitely be transferred to Yangzhou in the future.

Therefore, it is necessary to improve the status of Yangzhou.

"Well, your suggestion is good, so let's do it this way. You go back and write a formal statement, and then use the center to issue an edict..."

Since the division of provinces and prefectures and counties has been discussed.

Wang Jing stopped hesitating and made a direct decision.

In the hall, the other generals, as well as Bu Zhi and Xie Hui, the ministers in charge of military affairs of the Privy Province, rarely spoke when Wang Jing and Shen Yi were discussing the division of prefectures and counties.

Even Bu Zhi didn't make any suggestions.

After all, they are biased towards military affairs.

Wang Jing usually expresses the intention of separating the military from the government, and Bu Zhi and the others will naturally not break the taboo at this time.
