Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 248

[Chapter 248]

“See Your Highness.” The

meeting hall of the palace.

Zhu Tuo, Qu Lu, Zhuang Jiande, Tian Wenhao saluted Zhao Xu.

These four were the four prefects of Yanzhou selected by him and Liu Fu.

Among them, except Zhu Tuo who is not from Yanzhou, the other three were all selected from the fourteen county magistrates of Yan County and Shanggu County.

The holding of the official examination is naturally to take care of poor scholars.

But he also couldn’t chill the hearts of his old subordinates.

It is impossible to let all the prefects of the four counties be selected from the scholars on the list.

Otherwise, his old subordinates will definitely be dissatisfied.

Furthermore, many of the scholars on the list have no official experience.

They must be trained at the grassroots level, after all, theory and practice are equally important.

If they are really capable, they will naturally be recognized by Yanzhou officials.

When the time comes and they are promoted to such high positions as county guards, the officials will not chew their tongues.

“Excuse me.” Zhao Xu’s eyes swept over the four of them one by one.

At the very beginning, he only controlled Yan County, and Liu Fu, the governor of the county, was also in charge.

With the addition of Shanggu County, the government office can still barely operate.

But now that there are two more counties suddenly, Liu Fu’s subordinates cannot do without the county guards to help him manage Yanzhou’s affairs.

“Currently, the four counties of Yanzhou are full of waste. You should be diligent in government affairs when you are in your respective positions. At the same time, you must actively implement the government orders issued by the palace. Don’t shirk and procrastinate. Remember, the official hats on your heads are given by the king. This king can also take it off.” Zhao Xu said slowly.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Zhu Tuo and the others responded with serious faces.

Zhao Xu nodded, he was putting his ugly words up front.

But the following will give them some sweetness.

So he gave Liu Fu a look.

Liu Fu understood, and immediately brought the county guard’s official uniform and official seal.

“Zhu Tuo, the governor of Yan County.” Zhao Xu came to Zhu Tuo.

The position of sheriff is only under Wang Fu.

As the king of Yan, he felt that it was necessary for him to personally present them with official robes.

Firstly, to show their importance, and secondly, to make the relationship between him and the county guard more harmonious, so that the entire officialdom in Yanzhou can be more harmonious.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Zhu Tuo’s voice trembled.

He never thought that one day he would become a sheriff.

In his consciousness, it is very rare for a scholar from a poor family like him in Dasong to be able to achieve the position of county magistrate.

The sheriff is only prepared for the children of the wealthy family.

“Do it well.” Zhao Xu patted Zhu Tuo on the shoulder.

Zhu Tuo was speechless for a while, but nodded heavily.

“Qu Lu, the governor of Shanggu County.” Zhao Xu came to a tall and thin official.

He used to be the magistrate of Wu’an County, and he was active and brave in the battle against Beidi.

Zhao Xu handed the things to him, and also patted him on the shoulder.

But Qu Lu was much calmer than Zhu Tuo. Although he was excited, he was an old man in the government office after all.

“Zhuang Jiande, sheriff of Pingjun.”

“Tian Wenhao, sheriff of Liaojun.”

Next, he issued official seals to the other two in turn.

Liu Fu stood on one side, looking at them with a smile on his face.

With the prefects of the four counties settled down, Yanzhou’s government affairs system is basically complete.

After a few more instructions, Zhao Xu asked the seven county guards to go back.

“The officials of all county government offices have also been selected.” Zhao Xu asked Liu Fu.

Naturally, the sheriff cannot be a polished commander.

When they go to office, they have to bring a set of officials from their own government.

“It’s all done,” Liu Fu said.

In the past few days, he and government officials have been assigning officials to the counties day and night.

It can be said that as long as these four county guards take office.

The officials accompanying them went down to the counties of the counties, and the government affairs system in Yanzhou was smoothed out.

What King Yan wants to do next, only needs a government order.

Hearing this, Zhao Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

The matter of the government affairs system has finally come to an end.

Next, he will be able to drastically transform the four northern counties.

“Go back and tell them that after taking office, the first thing to do is to copy the model of Yan County, one is taxation, one is the distribution of acres, and the other is the rural Lizheng Baochang and the village military system.” Zhao Xu After taking charge of Yanzhou , issued the first major decree.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Liu Fu bowed.

Yan County was created by King Yan.

It is these basic policies that make the people of Yan County support King Yan very much.

After the implementation in Shanggu County, the hearts of the people are equally deep.

This proves that this set of policies is successful, and it is completely possible to replicate it to the other two counties.

Zhao Xu nodded and waved Liu Fu back to get busy.

Liu Fu turned to leave, suddenly remembered something and said: “By the way, Your Highness, there are many scholars who have failed the rankings these days and want to enter the Three Great Halls, this matter…”

Zhao Xu smiled, this is the charm of the official examination.

He was like opening a window for these scholars to change their fate.

People who come out of the three schools will definitely work under the command of the palace in the future.

Naturally, they rushed to enter.

For Zhao Xu, this is also a good start.

These scholars can read to some extent, and it is much easier to teach them, saving the time of teaching them to read.

“The Science and Technology School only recruits 100 students, the Government Affairs School recruits 500 people, and the Military School also recruits 500 people.” Zhao Xu said.

After a pause, he said: “But you have to explain clearly to them the conditions for entering the school, especially the science and technology school. Once they enter the science and technology school, they can’t go wherever they want in the future.”

Zhao Xu knew very well The biggest advantage is the knowledge in the head.

If he teaches a proud student, once this student falls under the enemy’s command, it will be a nuclear bomb-level threat.

Therefore, they will implement very strict monitoring on these students.

If they have the intention of betrayal, he will make them disappear from the world.

As for the military school, he recruited these students not for marching and fighting, but for educating soldiers.

He is not a weaponist.

In his opinion, the most important thing in an army is discipline, training and thinking.

After all, in this era, there is no absolute difference in the power of various weapons.

As for the School of Government Affairs, of course it was second.

Because the policies that can be implemented in Yanzhou cannot be implemented outside Yanzhou.

After all, in Dasong, where there is no rich family, Yanzhou is the only one.

Therefore, he is not afraid of the students from the Government Affairs School leaving Yanzhou.

Of course, even so, he still hopes that the people he cultivated can stay in Yanzhou to serve.

After solemnly telling Liu Fu the request of the Three Great Halls, Liu Fu left in response.

After Liu Fu’s figure disappeared, Zhao Xu stretched and stood up.

When he came to the map of Yanzhou, he looked at his own land with a smile on his face.

Although his seal is still very dilapidated, everything is waiting to be done.

But it won’t be long before it will definitely be the most affluent place in Dasong.
