Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 363 Actually, I really want to revive the Han Dynasty
Zhang Chunhua worked as a book assistant in the household department. After some experience, not only did his work efficiency and practical achievements satisfy Lu Kang and others, but his personality also improved a lot—at least he learned some of Jia Xu’s Tibetan style, not to mention Just like before, he was so sharp that he affected his subordinates.

After completing the New Year's task of "war zone audit" the year before last, Lu Kang gave her "Shu Zuo" a promotion and added some responsibilities. Later, because Nanyang County also wanted to open a "household department" - that is, The Ministry of Household Affairs is a local department under the county-level administrative unit, and the chief officer is the "Director of the Ministry of Household Affairs".

Lu Kang recommended Zhang Chunhua as the chief clerk of the Household Department, that is, the adjutant of the "Household Department". At the same time... the chief officer of the Household Department was concurrently held by Zhang Xiu.

The Liubu Department at the county level and the Liubu Department at the county level were both created by the General's Office. In addition to being controlled by the prefect, the Liubu Department was also directly under the jurisdiction of the Six Departments of the General's Office. For example, the Household Department in each county was directly responsible for a county. In taxation and finance, on the one hand, it is a professional counterpart and improves efficiency; on the other hand, it also strengthens the centralization of the six ministries.

In fact, it is modern vertical management...

Of course, in many counties now, the six directors of the Department of History are concurrently appointed by the prefects, or they are also appointed from the local nobles. However, most of the deputy chief administrators are directly appointed by the general's office.

After all, if a local prince like Zhang Xiu takes the initiative to serve, or if a local nobleman supports the general's palace as a prefect, the general's palace can't just mess around and reduce people's sense of security.

The greater significance is to set down the rules first, cooperate with the development of all aspects in the future, and then gradually implement them...

For example, in Nanyang, Zhang Xiu, the director of the six departments, actually didn't care about anything at all. As long as the household department allocated enough "military expenses", he would leave all other matters to the chief clerk.

It can be said that Zhang Chunhua is now the top official of Nanyang Household Department...

Zhang Chunhua and Jia Xu had discussed the general trend of the world before, and Zhang Chunhua also knew that this was his weakest point.

Jia Xu always spoke in a cryptic manner and never directly analyzed the situation for Zhang Chunhua. He always gave a hint when Zhang Chunhua was about to become furious.

I have to say that this method of "teaching" is very suitable for smart people.

Although Zhang Chunhua did not predict that Jingzhou would send troops, he had previously determined that Wancheng would definitely be an important war zone in the future!

Therefore, within the scope of his authority, he kept Nanyang's tax revenue in the treasury as much as possible in the form of arrows, tung oil, wood, hemp rope and other materials consumed by the defense equipment, in addition to grain and grass.

In addition, they "suppressed" the funding of the Civil Affairs Department of the same county and gave the "Ministry of Works Department" as much as possible to build city walls, dig trenches, and produce equipment for defending the city.

If it weren't for her special status and her ability to communicate with others, I'm afraid she would have been complained to the Ministry of Civil Affairs...

Although he is far from being proficient and has nothing to do with being a master of all things, Zhang Chunhua uses his own "splashing" energy to demonstrate his own social skills.

Of course, Zhang Chunhua also took certain risks. If Wancheng had not become a frontline, even if the inventory was filled with hard currency, she would inevitably get a "C" in the official evaluation.

But now it turns out that Zhang Chunhua's bet was right. Once Wancheng's war warehouse opened, Zhang Xian and Lei Xu became more confident.

When the main force of the Jing army arrived in the Wancheng area, according to the estimates of the scouts, there were only [-] people in total. It can be seen that most of the troops were concentrated in Xiangyang!

On the other hand, Jian Yong was in Jiangling and finally found out what was happening in Nanyang, but he didn't know that Wancheng was already ready to face the enemy at this time, and thought that the Jing army was really unstoppable - after all, several counties were directly Returned to the embrace of Jingzhou Mansion.

After Jian Yong made some preparations, he came to visit him again. To his expectation, Bai Tu actually accepted him without any excuse. This made Jian Yong, who lacked first-hand information in Jiangling, believe that Wancheng was in danger.

Jian Yong is more confident. As long as the journey from Xiangfan to Wancheng is under the control of Jingzhou Prefecture, and he becomes a part of the forces supporting the Han Dynasty in the future, his mission will be perfect.

However, before Jian Yong could speak, Bai Tu directly handed a letter to Jian Yong...

"Mr. Bai, what is this?" Jian Yong took it over doubtfully.

"I have an injury on my shoulder and it is not convenient for me to write it myself, so I entrusted Cheng Ji to write it." Bai Tu finally had a legitimate reason to not hold the pen himself, and continued: "It contains my request to the court. If the court is willing to accept it, , not only can I stop Nanyang and Nanjun, but I will also submit an additional letter asking for the removal of the 'Chuhou'."

Bai Tu's serious tone and the directness of his words made Jian Yong stunned when he heard the words - a "request" for the imperial court?This may sound harsh, but now is obviously not the time to choose words.

Baitu's tone and expression all showed his seriousness, and his negotiating skills are also skillful. If he uses rebuttal words at this time to maintain the authority of the court, Jian Yong is worried that Baitu will send the guests off directly...

At the same time, Jian Yong also felt that what Bai Tu said about asking him to be removed from the position of Marquis of Chu didn't seem like he was trying to impress himself.

Could it really be possible to make Duke Bai give up the fight for the world?

That's right, the lord also said that Duke Bai is a man with feelings...

It was just the situation of using letters that made Jian Yong feel a little inappropriate. As a professional negotiator, Jian Yong felt that this "condition" should be negotiated several times by both parties, testing each other's bottom line, and then striving for a win-win situation. Otherwise, if it is just Wouldn't it be a pity that a slight disagreement led to the failure to reach an agreement in the end?
"Can Yong consider the content of this letter for me?" Jian Yong asked after holding it in for a long time.

"Yes, but this is the bottom line... I didn't finish what I just said. If the court is not satisfied, this general has worked hard and made great achievements. Please add him to the throne of King Chu." Bai Tu said in a strong tone.

During the Xudu Rebellion, Xun Yu fought for Cao Cao as the "King of Wei". In comparison, Bai Tu's "Marquis of Chu" now seems stingy.

Of course, Bai Tu has indeed considered fully assisting the resurgence of the Han Dynasty, which can indeed reduce many casualties.

However, Bai Tu has his own ideals and a large group of people under his command. It is impossible for him to just throw away and leave like Kou Zhong in Master Huang Yi's works.

After all, Kou Zhong's ideal is not to be an emperor, but just for the recognition of others, while Bai Tu's ideal, although not to be an emperor, has more practical things to do.

The reason why Bai Tu's tone is so harsh is because he has been sulking recently!

A few days ago, after Bai Tu raised his idea with his staff, Chen Gong, Zhou Yu... and even Sun Ce, Zhang Xiu and others unanimously opposed it, and they all slapped the table and slapped him on the face. …

This is not the reason why Bai Tu is angry. Although Bai Tu's "requirements" include dividing the river to rule, at least not giving up Yangzhou and Jingnan in the short term, and will try his best to satisfy his subordinates, but... No wonder they were indignant when he suddenly said that he wanted to assist the Han Dynasty. In fact, only Lu Bu was willing to support Bai Tu out of pure emotion.

What made Bai Tu really angry was that after he showed his "request" to everyone, everyone became less angry...

Each and every one of them just had expressions written on their faces: "So you don't want to help the Han Dynasty at all" and "If the court agrees to this request, I will eat the dragon's chair alive", and then dispersed as if nothing happened, leaving Baitu to rest for a while. Don't always come to them just because of this little thing, everyone is very busy now...

Jian Yong didn't know why Bai Tu looked angry, but he heard that if he didn't agree to his request, he would "invite the King of Jin and Chu". Why didn't he understand that Bai Tu was really going to show off?

I quickly opened the letter and read it...
