The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 210 Talent
"Then there is Xuzhou, with five counties and 62 counties, second only to Qingzhou in terms of tax revenue. This year, a small-scale war occurred along the border, but it did not have much impact on Xuzhou. It has more than 300 large and small factories and a current population of [-] million." Xuzhou used to be a well-known rich state in the world. Unfortunately, after the rise of Qingzhou, Xuzhou's original production suffered a great impact. However, many clever clans and businessmen have learned from those businessmen in Qingzhou, opened factories, and brought a lot to Liu Bei Group. Large financial revenue, and those factories in Xuzhou are still blooming like sparks, Chen Ziming believes that it will not be long before the financial revenue Xuzhou brings to Liu Bei is not much worse than that of Qingzhou.

"Fuzhou, with a population of more than 58, is divided into six counties and 34 counties. It is not suitable for planting crops, but it is rich in minerals. Now all counties have found usable minerals, and discovered [-] gold mines and [-] silver mines. , the remaining [-] iron mines, coal mines, etc., have all started mining, but Fuzhou still needs a lot of labor and a lot of money to build ports in various places so that various minerals can be transported back to Qingzhou." The island country of Little Japan, apart from ** ***Besides being famous, the other is the rich mineral reserves.

In particular, the reserves of silver mines are astonishing. The famous Iwami Silver Mine in later generations is called the real silver mine, which fully supports the ultra-rapid development of Japan in modern times. Otherwise, how could such an island country have so many resources? developed so powerfully.

"Youzhou, a newly occupied land this year, has been in constant war, and refugees are everywhere, and most of them are homeless. We will mobilize a large number of officials to serve as officials in Youzhou. People in Youzhou have homes to return to, clothes to wear, and food to eat. In the coming spring, Youzhou can resume production.

According to preliminary statistics, there are more than 330 million people in Youzhou. In addition to the original eleven counties and ninety counties, the land of Sanhan was renamed Xin'an County, and eight counties were established. "Youzhou is definitely a large state in the north, not only including Beijing, Tianjin and other places in later generations, but also a part of Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province. Now it has incorporated the Korean Peninsula, and its population is second only to Qingzhou.

"Jizhou, the original Goguryeo country was renamed, divided into five counties and 65 counties, with a population of 220 million. Except for the chief official, the rest of the officials took office. The clan was eliminated, the land was divided, and the people's hearts were available, but because of the strong folk customs, Most of them have alien customs and need to be governed for a long time.” Jizhou area, in later generations, is also a part of Heilongjiang Province, plus a part of Russia, the land is fertile and very suitable for planting various precious medicinal materials. Now as Liu Bei becomes stronger and stronger , The medical school established by Chen Ziming is also slowly affecting various places, and with the development of the war, the demand for medicinal materials will increase. Xinde Youzhou and Jizhou are definitely treasures for mass production of Chinese herbal medicines.

Counting now, the Liu Bei Group has occupied the land of five states, and the population has reached 300 million. You must know that the population of the Han Dynasty is nearly 6000 million, distributed in thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, not counting Fuzhou and Jizhou. Liu Bei In the land of three states, it has one-sixth of the population of Dahan.

However, there are still two states that have not been recognized by all parties, that is, Fuzhou and Jizhou.

Fuzhou is still being kept secret, but with the advent of the age of great voyages, Fuzhou has been discovered by many forces. Although they don't know the specific situation of Fuzhou, they are well aware of Fuzhou's existence. Today, only the people in the world know much about Fuzhou Nothing less.

Moreover, Liu Bei and Chen Ziming have already discussed and are going to announce the existence of Fuzhou in the near future, because Liu Bei's current strength is no longer afraid of the princes of the world, and Yuan Shao, the great enemy, is gone. The current Cao Cao alone cannot threaten Liu Bei at all.

In the land of Jizhou, Liu Bei reported to the emperor, but now the emperor is still in the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si, and there is no freedom of life at all, let alone the right of the emperor.

Liu Bei reported to the emperor, but it was just a formality. Before reporting to the emperor, Liu Bei had already named Jizhou privately, and at the same time sent officials at all levels to Jizhou to start exercising sovereignty.

"My lord, these are the officials and various talent gaps reported from various places. Also, this is the evidence sent by the dark guards that some local officials cheated, oppressed the people, and accepted bribes." After talking about the general situation of Liu Bei's forces Finally, Chen Gong put the stack of materials in his hand in front of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei frowned after hearing this, and picked up a piece of paper to look at it. The more he looked at Liu Bei's frown became tighter, and finally he even became angry, cursing those officials who were corrupt and accepting bribes.

"Brother, please calm down. You can just let someone deal with you, and you don't need to be angry." Seeing Liu Bei's expression, Chen Ziming probably knew what those officials had done.

Corrupt officials have existed since ancient times, even if it is under the blue sky and broad daylight in later generations, corrupt officials will not be wiped out, let alone such a troubled world.

"It must be severely punished, and the inspectors should immediately send officials to investigate the matter, deal with it according to the law, and never tolerate it." In the end, Liu Bei did not order the massacre, but everything followed the law. Chen Ziming was really afraid that Liu Bei would order the secret guards to dispatch. Come on, some cancerous tumors can be removed in the early stage, but a bigger cancerous tumor will be left behind, which Chen Ziming absolutely does not want to see.

"Ziming, Fuzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou all came to report. There is a serious shortage of officials in various places. Many positions are vacant, and there is a lack of various talents, such as water conservancy and agricultural conservancy. There is a serious shortage of talents. Many places have no professional guidance, and development is very slow. .” Liu Bei held another report and said to Chen Ziming.

Now that Liu Bei's territory has formed a complete management system, it is very clear what departments the local government has set up and what functions they perform.

Moreover, some local official positions require corresponding professional knowledge, and Linzi Academy has special courses for these professional knowledge.

"Brother, it's normal for officials at all levels to be unable to keep up within a short period of time. Within a year, under the rule of my elder brother, there will be two more prefectures, more than 200 counties, and a large number of officials will be needed.

Nowadays, only a large number of people with outstanding political achievements and clear officials should be promoted. At the same time, the examination will be held again to recruit grassroots officials to relieve the urgent need. "For this kind of thing, Chen Ziming couldn't come up with a better way, but Chen Ziming advocated that all officials must pass the assessment and be appointed.

In particular, the chief officials of various places must be selected from among the grassroots officials, and those old scribes who are slightly talented but cultivated by the clan must not be directly appointed.
