"What my subordinates originally wanted to do has now been done. I wonder what else I can do to recruit my subordinates?" Man Chong came back on the third day after Chen Mo sent the order. The county officials surrendered, and the Wei family cannot say that they have surrendered.

, but it can be regarded as taking shelter from Chen Mo. In addition, the people are loyal and the military power is in control. The big problem has been solved. As for the remaining small problems, even if they are not favored, these county officials under Chen Mo can do it. He does not believe that he is being

These county officials who Chen Mo had the handle for now still have the guts to make trouble with Chen Mo.

"As the governor of Hedong, supervising the administration of officials, and magistrate of various counties, I can let go of past events as long as they are not outrageous and resentful. But from now on, anyone who accepts bribes will be severely punished." Chen Mo unfolded a bamboo slip and said seriously:

"These are some legal changes that I am thinking about. Bonin is familiar with the laws, and these regulations are only slightly modified."

"The laws of my Han Dynasty are actually not bad." Man Chong looked at Chen Mo's updated regulations, frowned and thought: "But these regulations changed by the emperor are more suitable for the county. If the area is larger, it will not be suitable."

Yes, and..."

Chen Mo raised his head, looked at Man Chong and said, "But it doesn't matter."

"Power is difficult to control, and it is easy to drive away talented people." Man Chong sighed.

The regulations that Chen Mo changed were mainly aimed at the supervision and punishment of officials. The regulations themselves are not problematic. In fact, whether it was the Qin Law or the later Han Law, there was not much problem in itself. The real problem is the implementation process.

.

Not to mention the misunderstandings that occur during the transmission of government orders, there are also various possibilities for the executors themselves. Human nature is selfish. Chen Mo has seen this countless times, so among these changed orders, the most important point is,

It is to establish a separate department, directly managed by Chen Mo, and Man Chong is responsible for it on weekdays. It is responsible for monitoring the accuracy of government orders in the process of transmission and whether officials are corrupt and bending the law.

In itself, there is no problem with this regulation. In theory, as long as the person in charge is wise and will not be easily misled, it will definitely be beneficial to the purge of officialdom. However, there are two problems.

First, this department consumes money, and it is easy to have too much power. Once something goes wrong here, it will be a disaster for the officialdom. And the other point is that now the trend of fragmentation in the world is very clear, and the talented people in the world

There are many, but there are absolutely few who can have both ability and political integrity. Chen Mo's regulations are somewhat outdated and can easily drive away those talented but somewhat inferior people. However, if their rights are reduced, this regulation will be in vain.

If Chen Mo was just the prefect of a county, this regulation would have a very good effect, but in that case, Chen Mo would almost lose the qualification to compete with other heroes.

Chen Mo nodded when he heard this. He was planning to establish a sound system to allow the entire Hedong to operate normally and efficiently, but he only considered the compliance of the rules, but had not yet considered these issues.

Looking at Chen Mo who fell into silence, Man Chong said nothing more. Chen Mo is a smart man and can accept opinions. What he fears most is not Chen Mo's incompetence but his arrogance based on his own intelligence. Such a person will lose sooner or later, at least for now.

It seems that although Chen Mo is still a little immature in some aspects, he has gradually shown the qualifications of a wise master.

Having a strategy is not the most important thing for a monarch. Of course, it is better to know it. Especially when Chen Mo does not have an outstanding counselor at the moment, Chen Mo can hold Hedong in his hands step by step with almost no omissions.

, this strategy is already impressive.

But as a monarch, the most important thing is the ability to make decisions. This is most obvious in Chen Mo. Once a decision is made, it will be implemented immediately. It is extremely purposeful. It can be said that he will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.

But for a monarch, this courage is necessary for him to go further.

Although his martial arts skills are good, his archery skills are of little use to Chen Mo. As a Lord, there are many things he has to do, but they do not include charging into battle.

Of course, there are also weaknesses, such as focusing too much on the political system and ignoring the details, but this is not because of Chen Mo's lack of ability. First, Chen Mo looks too far ahead. What he is doing now is already preparing to establish a complete political system like Dahan. Second, Chen Mo looks too far ahead.

Chen Mo is too young. Although he has a well-organized layout, things in the officialdom are still a little immature.

But precisely because Chen Mo is too young, this is his advantage. He still has a long time, and he can go further than others.

"What Boning said is true, but I was negligent." Chen Mo looked at Man Chong and said seriously: "However, we cannot ignore this matter. We can build a prototype first. We will be responsible for detecting the enemy's situation on weekdays, but secretly investigate internally.

, collected evidence, but did not have the power to expose and judge.”

Basically, from the outside, this unit is a unit that collects intelligence from the outside world, but at the same time, it secretly collects corruption issues among officials in various places, but it cannot be publicized, let alone executed. It just needs to hand over the collected intelligence to Chen Mo. What happens after that,

They will not deal with it anymore. Even if Chen Mo investigates based on the evidence, their affairs and achievements will not be attributed to them. At least the promotion of these people will not be related to this matter.

Of course, how to prevent these people from secretly colluding with officials requires further improvement of the internal system. We are also creating a prototype now. When Chen Mo's power gradually takes shape, this department will slowly be pushed to the forefront to intimidate officials.

effect.

"This matter will be dealt with later. I wonder if my lord has ever thought about the name of this department?" Man Chong quite agrees with Chen Mo's idea of ​​getting rid of his minions. This can make people think that Chen Mo is inscrutable and unfathomable.

Awe.

"The so-called Skynet is vast and sparse, so this part is called Skynet Bar." Chen Mo looked at Man Chong and said with a smile.

Manchong nodded, as long as the name was passable, the two of them were discussing the future planning and development of Hanoi.

There is no need to make major changes to the officials in Hedong for the time being, but several important positions in the hands of the county government must be held by Chen Mo. The first one is the county magistrate. This position can only be filled by Man Chong at the moment. Chen Mo can't find a more suitable person for the time being.

, in fact, if Wei Ji was willing to serve as an official, he would be more suitable. Unfortunately, Wei Ji did not want to, so he had no choice but to come with Man Chong.

In addition, there is the Postal Supervisor, a meritorious officer. In fact, Manchong is more suitable to be the Postal Supervisor, responsible for supervising the government affairs of each county. But Chen Mo has these people under him now, and Manchong is also good at other aspects. This time he is going to Hedong, and Manchong is in each county.

Running around, he can handle all kinds of things with ease, even if the prefect asks him to do it, he will have no problem, but his merits are much weaker in comparison.

"What do you think of Cui Geng?" It's easy to choose a meritorious officer. Chen Mo asked Zhong Yun to be the meritorious officer and manage all the troughs. However, in terms of postal supervision, several of his generals are actually more suitable for fighting. However, the position of meritorious officer now also requires trusted subordinates.

Do.

"Although Cui Geng is good at fighting, he is also quite experienced in dealing with things. If you don't have a suitable candidate for the time being, you can let him take over the postal duties temporarily." Man Chong thought for a while and said.

These generals under Chen Mo are all capable generals, and they can fight without any problem, but when it comes to governing, Bao Geng and Dian Wei are definitely not good. Gao Shun is more suitable for commanding troops, and he can also govern, but he will definitely offend people easily.

The remaining Yu Sheng is more practical and perseverant, and can complete the tasks assigned by Chen Mo, but he does not understand the situation and is a bit embarrassed to be an official.

"Then let Cui Geng take over the postal duties for the time being." Chen Mo stood up with a smile and said, "As for the rest of the county affairs, I'll leave it to Boning. If there's anything you need, send someone to tell me."

"Congratulations to the envoy!" Man Chong did not shirk. The position of county magistrate is the highest official position he has held so far. Although the salary is only 600 dan, he is finally an official rather than an official. In previous years, this was the imperial court's highest official position. Even if he is directly appointed, he may not have the opportunity to do it, so naturally he wants to show off his talents.

Chen Mo left the government office, and Shi Geng led the county guards. Chen Mo took Dian Wei and his personal guards away. There were two things to do next. The first was to rectify the army. In addition to the two thousand soldiers he brought out, In addition to the troops of Sili Xiaowei, he also raised 6,000 troops and horses from various counties, and surrendered 6,000 Yellow Turbans. This adds up to 14,000 troops. If we add more than 2,000 troops from Humphrey With his fine cavalry, Chen Mo now has nearly 17,000 troops under his command.

Before the late emperor established the Eighth School of Xiyuan, this force was almost equal to the entire force of Luoyang. As a prefect of a county, he was not qualified to command so many troops. He should have handed them over or demobilized after the war. But now, Chen Mo wants to To establish his own power and plan to annex the state in the future, these armies cannot be handed over or disbanded. Of course, in the battle report to the court, these armies were disbanded. Chen Mo still nominally holds two thousand soldiers. horse.

However, apart from the two thousand elites he brought, apart from the Xiongnu soldiers and horses, the remaining Yellow Turban Army has a certain fighting strength, but it is definitely not strong, and the new army recruited has no fighting strength. That's all. If you want to put them to use, you should naturally gather together and train.

However, this military training cannot be discovered by the court, so Chen Mo plans to bring the New Army and the Yellow Turban Army to the vicinity of Jilei Mountain and let Gao Shun conduct training. Chen Mo will also take time to watch, but he will not stay here. He has other plans. Doing one thing is also related to the people's livelihood issues in Hedong.

While traveling around the counties these days, Chen Mo had already started asking people to collect manure and dry it. After it was made into manure, Chen Mo was ready to start promoting manure throughout the county.

Food is the most important thing for the people, not to mention anything else, just to feed the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. In addition to raising taxes, increasing the grain production per mu in the county is what Chen Mo is best suited to do at the moment.

Of course, there are other ways, such as purchasing from outside, negotiating with the Wei family to trade with various states, but in Chen Mo's view, promoting manure in his own territory to increase people's income and replenishing the treasury is a long-term solution. Since the world is about to be in chaos, stocking up on more grain is absolutely necessary. That's right, the New Year has passed, and February is a good time for spring plowing. Before that, he must lead everyone to make more manure. As long as this year's yield comes out, others will naturally follow suit without him having to say anything.
