Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

The first month, Chengdu, Dahan Xingong.

The sky was hazy and slightly bright, and the cold wind was blowing. All the ministers stood outside the hall, holding wat boards, whispering to each other, talking and laughing happily. They surrounded Jiang Wan and congratulated him.

"Boom!"

Hearing the sound, the crowd formed quickly and neatly. Jiang Wan straightened his clothes slightly, and walked into the hall with a dignified demeanor.

Jiang Wan looked at Liu Chan who was empress, knelt down and shouted: "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, I wish His Majesty ten thousand years of happiness!"

"Free gift!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Wan, who was the top leader of the inner government, stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, all counties in all counties have arrived in Chengdu this year, and the inner government is preparing to check last year's counties. Taxation, money and grain, etc.”

The above plan originated in the Warring States period. Every year, the local prefect needs to write the budget figures such as household registration, land reclamation, and taxes in the area under his jurisdiction on the wooden voucher, report it to the monarch, and divide the wooden voucher into two. The monarch holds the right voucher. The minister holds the left ticket.

At the end of the year, officials must go to the central government to report and verify the current year's situation.The central government will give promotions, demotions, rewards and punishments according to the assessment results.

Liu Chan was wearing a mianfu, nodded slightly, and said: "Shan, Jiang Changshi must check it out to prevent the counties from cheating on timekeeping. Anyone who cheats will be dealt with according to the "Shangji Law"."

During the Han Dynasty, Shangji often practiced falsification. Hao Xian, the prefect of Shanggu during Emperor Wu's reign, was dismissed because of the fraudulent scheme.Shangji is generally an important position in the county, and it is a great talent or confidant in the county who is sent to the central government. After all, the objects they report to are the ministers and ministers in the central government, which is related to the future career of the county guard.

At the same time, if Shangjiyu performs well, it is easy to stay in the central government as a doctor, that is, an alternate official, and reach the sky in one step.

"promise!"

After a pause, Liu Chan looked at Li Yan again, and said, "As far as the plan is concerned, Da Sinong should pay more attention to assisting Jiang Changshi."

In the case of Da Si Nong in charge of money and grain, Han Dynasty had the right to participate in the plan. Even though the rights of the Da Si Nong were restricted, he still had the responsibility to review the plan.

"promise!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Chan knelt down on the couch, looked around at the people below the steps, but saw no trace of the old man, sighed and said: "Last year when I was in court, I still remembered to laugh and entertain Zhang Qing. Now that he died of illness, I am really saddened by it." Yea!"

Everyone bowed their heads in silence. In the eight or nine years since Liu Chan ascended the throne, Yang Hong, Fei Shi, Liu Yan, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Yi were either high-ranking officials in the court, or local officials all died of illness. not big.

Liu Chan regretted for a while, and said in a deep voice: "What is the character of Zhang Qing's heirs, can they handle big things?"

The servant of Shangshu shot Li Fu and drove out, bowed his waist and said: "Zhang Junsi has two sons, the eldest son Zhang Wei is Xiaolian, and he is currently the meritorious Cao of Qianwei County. He has made many achievements during this period. Zi is still young, studying at the Wudan Academy."

After pondering for a while, Liu Chan ordered through the Mian: "I will make Zhang Yi the Marquis of Jieyang Township, his son Zhang Yu will succeed him, and he will be appointed as the prefect of Yunnan County. After three months of filial piety, he will start to serve. .And ask him not to bear the name of his father Zhang Junsi, and encourage him in the office, and do more good governance."

"promise!"

In the Han Dynasty, there was no custom of keeping filial piety for three years. Usually, 25 months of filial piety was regarded as three years. The emperor's words were even shorter. When Lao Liu passed away, Liu Chan kept filial piety for 27 days.

As for Liu Chan letting Zhang Yu stay in office for the rest of March, it can be seen as a kind of love.After all, if Zhang Xun really kept his filial piety for three years, there would still be a place for Zhang Xun with the big man, and the big guy is currently short of people, and there are still a lot of vacancies waiting to be filled in the settled Liangzhou.

Liu Chan also knew about Zhang Wei. Although he was not as talented as his father, Zhang Yiguo, he was still talented. After a little time, he would be a talented person in a state.

Liu Chan raised his hand slightly, his gaze fell on Jiang Wan, and asked, "After Wang Zhenbei pacified Liangzhou, I wonder if Jiang Changshi has any candidates for officials at all levels in Liangzhou?"

Jiang Wan hesitated for a while, held the wat board, and said, "Your Majesty, the war in Liangzhou will stop soon, and there will be riots in Wenshan and Qiang in the west. Therefore, the selection of officials at all levels in Liangzhou is still in consultation with the ministers. Discuss, I hope His Majesty will forgive you."

There are many major events in the court near the end of the year. To select officials at all levels, it is necessary to review the performance of the officials for one year, and then select officials at all levels to take up posts in Liangzhou according to the situation. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider who can succeed them.In addition, the news of the pacification of Liangzhou had not reached Chengdu for more than a month, and with the return of the Northern Expeditionary Army, they had to be rewarded for their merits.Not only Jiang Wan was too busy to come back, but the whole big man was also busy running around, so Liu Chan could understand.

"Discuss the list as soon as possible, so as not to delay the political affairs of spring farming in Liangzhou this year."

"No, I will discuss with the ministers and prime ministers the candidates for officials at all levels in Liangzhou as soon as possible," Jiang Wan said.

Liu Chan nodded slightly, and said: "I and the Prime Minister think that this list is not limited to official qualifications, and we need to think more about whether the officials know Liangzhou."

Jiang Wan's eyes flickered, and he heard His Majesty's implication.To be an official is not limited by seniority, it means that you have reached the official position, you are not an old man, or you are an official from Longyou who has just joined. But to know Liangzhou, apart from the local scholars, the one who is most familiar with Liangzhou is Longyou, which is adjacent to Liangzhou.Therefore, Liu Chan is implying that the officials who govern Liangzhou can consider more from the perspective of Longyou scholars.

"Promise!" Jiang Wan knew what was in his mind, and said in response.

In recent years, after the Dahan lost Jingzhou, the vacancies of Jingzhou scholars could not be filled at all. Therefore, the Dahan basically relies on Jingzhou scholars to serve as senior officials in various places.Slowly release the positions of the middle and lower levels. For example, Ma Liang, a scholar from Xiangyang, served as the governor of Qinzhou, Yang Xi from Shu, and Jufu from Ba served as the local governor; the same is true in Liangzhou. Although the county officials have not been filled, it is basically certain that scholars from Longyou or Bashu will serve.

Therefore, after dividing the cake in Longyou, scholars from Bashu and Jingzhou agreed with the Northern Expedition. This Northern Expedition to Liangzhou has no worries, which has something to do with internal unity.

"Where has the Prime Minister arrived so far, and how long will it take to return to the teacher?" Liu Chan asked.

"Your Majesty, according to what the Prime Minister said, he has already arrived in Mianzhu County, and he will return to the capital in a few days." Dong Yun came out and replied.

"Good, at that time, Chen Weiwei (Chen Zhen) will lead the ministers out of the palace to welcome the prime minister back to his teacher. I will entertain the prime minister, the generals of the Northern Expedition and the ministers at the Jue Hall."

"promise!"

Speaking, Liu Chan said in unison, raising the corners of his mouth and saying: "Everything in the first month is cumbersome, whether it is planning, or fighting, or political affairs, so after all the affairs are over, the officials of the court will take a three-day bath to relieve the burden of paperwork."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the court stood up one after another, bowed their hands in salute, and shouted in unison: "Thank you for your kindness."
