The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 78 The Way of Governing the Country
"Crassman Fan Zhongyan pays homage to His Majesty!"

Fan Zhongyan looked like a young literati, dressed in green clothes, he was full of righteousness, giving people a sense of uprightness.As soon as Liu Bian saw Fan Zhongyan, he had a good impression of him, and a kind of love spontaneously arose.

Fan Zhongyan was led by soldiers in the study room. He had a loud voice, a straight body, and saluted Liu Bian without being humble or overbearing.

Liu Bian's eyes lit up, this Fan Zhongyan was very capable, and he was proficient in military affairs and politics.The most rare thing is his character, this is a talent who can do things, Liu Bian is quite satisfied with this call.

But no matter how satisfied he was, Fan Zhongyan was summoned by himself. He knew his ability, but it was necessary to try it out as an examination school.

"It's only been half an hour since I sent out the recruitment list, and I didn't expect that there would be talents who would apply for it! Judging by your appearance, you must be a talent who has read the classics and history, and possesses the strategy of governing the country! Hurry up and tell me about your ability to govern the country, and I will give it to you." You arrange a position!" Liu Bian said with a pretentious gesture.

Fan Zhongyan's expression was shocked, he understood that Liu Bian was going to test himself, and he thought that the opportunity to show what he had learned finally came.

Fan Zhongyan cleared his throat, and shared the strategy of governing the country in his heart.He even commented on Liu Bian's current situation.

Fan Zhongyan's politics, command, and intelligence are all very important. Facing Fan Zhongyan's eloquent talk, Liu Bian sat upright and listened carefully.

"Your Majesty, the grassroots believe that to govern the country, the first thing to do is to rectify the administration of officials. All the officials in the world are filial and incorruptible. But who has no selfishness in the aristocratic family? There are very few fair and honest people!" Fan Zhongyan eloquently Talking, telling the key point in one sentence, without being afraid of Liu Bian's scolding?
"The sons of the aristocratic family hold the official position. In this way, the officials from all over the place seek benefits for themselves and the family, and do not pay attention to the people. As a result, the people of the Han Dynasty become more and more impoverished, and it is even difficult to maintain their lives! They gradually become subordinates of the aristocratic family. , sold themselves as slaves, became the power of the family, the land that originally host the people was annexed by the family, and the people who originally belonged to the great Han became private slaves of the family!"

"The great family is becoming stronger and stronger step by step, but the country is becoming weaker and weaker step by step!"

Fan Zhongyan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the grassroots believe that the first thing to do in governing the country is to rectify the officials! Abolish redundant officials and select officials who can truly benefit the people. In this way, the people will be prosperous and strong, and Your Majesty will be wise, and the great man will gradually become stronger!"

Liu Bian touched His Majesty and heard the meaning of this sentence.Xindao said that the big man is weak now, another reason is that Emperor Huan and his cheap father are stupid and unreasonable, making the people miserable, you are embarrassed to say it clearly?

Your majesty is wise?In other words, if I am fatuous, it is still impossible for the big man to recover!Yes, no matter how good it is, in a perfect system, if the ruler is fatuous, the country will gradually collapse.

Liu Bian's expression straightened, and he said in his heart: "I must be a wise king, so that the big man can stand on top of the world!"

"Every sentence you said is thought-provoking, but sir, can you have a specific solution!" Liu Bian continued to ask.

"Your Majesty, today's official recruitment system is for filial piety! And the qualifications for filial piety are in the hands of the aristocratic family. Let alone whether these people have real talents and learning, even if they are really benevolent and filial people, we don't know."

Liu Bian nodded, deeply agreeing.

"So if we want to solve this situation, the most urgent task is to change the recruitment system of officials! Appoint people with real talents and practical knowledge!"

"Then what kind of system do you think you can use to promote real talents?" Liu Bian said with deep meaning.

"This..., the grassroots have no good solution for the time being. But as grassroots, if you want to abolish redundant officials and suppress soldiers, you should appoint poor students, and use the poor to deal with the aristocratic clan! Mutual checks and balances!"

A gleam flashed in Liu Bian's eyes, he exhaled secretly, and thought, "Fortunately, the summoned person only has the ability and insight of his previous life, this Fan Zhongyan doesn't know the imperial examination system yet!"

"Mr. really has real talents and practical learning. I have a lot of insights from what I said! If you use Mr. to rule the country, the prosperity of the great man will not be far away!" Liu Bian praised.

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high!" Fan Zhongyan said modestly.

"My subordinates are short of a political expert like Mr. Wei Xiaokuan is so busy now, how about Mr. being his deputy for a while?" Liu Bian straightened his body and got to the point.

"Master Wei managed Taiyuan well in just a short period of time. It is an honor for the grassroots to be Lord Wei's deputy!" Fan Zhongyan said with a smile on his face. Although Liu Bian did not clearly give himself an official position, he understood that the current Wei Xiaokuan It is the power of the prefect of Taiyuan, and Wei Xiaokuan did not have a specific position, which shows that he has other duties, and there is not enough manpower to govern the place.And Liu Bian asked himself to act as Wei Xiaokuan's deputy, and the prefect of this county would not be able to escape until he calmed down.

But Fan Zhongyan didn't know that Liu Bian had high hopes for him. He was a prime minister in the central government, and he was capable of supervising the military and political power of a state in the local area.

……

One month had passed since Liu Bian summoned Fan Zhongyan, and it was September!
Taiyuan is thriving under the governance of Wei Xiaokuan and Fan Zhongyan, two great talents who have broken through the [-]s in politics.

And Wei Xiaokuan was also gradually liberated from government affairs, and concentrated on the work of Jinyiwei.All the government affairs in Taiyuan also fell on Fan Zhongyan's head, and Fan Zhongyan was also equivalent to the right to act as the prefect.

Originally, the civil officials were quite critical of this, but Fan Zhongyan proved himself with practical actions.In just a short time, Taiyuan was managed in an orderly manner.Even the old-fashioned Cai Yong admired Fan Zhongyan.

However, to Liu Bian's disappointment, the recruitment order had been issued for more than a month, and apart from two or three small fishes, there was not a single famous talent congenial.

However, there is also another thing for comfort, that is, the grain in the fields in various places is also gradually turning from green to yellow, and it will be harvested in a few days.Especially in the Shangdang area, because of the farming, there is a piece of yellow everywhere.Just the grain from the fields alone has been eaten by the princes Liu Bian's army for two years.

Although Taiyuan, Xihe, and Shangjun did not garrison the fields, they were governed by three sages and ditches were widened. The grain originally planted did not fail as in previous years, but a bumper harvest.

In fact, Liu Bian knew that another reason for the demise of the Han Dynasty was natural disasters. It is said that the Little Ice Age caused climate fusion, which often led to crop failure in many places.

But this is also related to the inaction of officials. The natural disasters in the late Han Dynasty were far less serious than the natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty. As long as they are carefully managed, although natural disasters will affect agriculture, they will not be ineffective.

Sure enough, under Liu Bian's special instructions, officials from all over the country are also very serious about agricultural governance.In September, the harvest will finally be ushered in.

However, in September, it is a harvest season in the Central Plains, but on the grasslands, it is equivalent to a bleak one.

Unlike the land of the Central Plains, the grasslands in the north entered autumn and winter. After the rainy season, many water sources dried up, and the aquatic plants gradually withered and turned yellow.If there are not enough food reserves, they will face starvation and freezing in winter.

At this time, the alien races in the northern grasslands will have their eyes on the land of the Central Plains, and the grain is about to mature.

Among the golden fields, Liu Bian, the inspector, stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the land in the north: "I will protect this beautiful land now, foreigners in the north, I hope you don't make unwise decisions!"
