Chapter 383

"The Leizhou battle will still be under the command of the general." Ouyang Shuo himself has no intention of personally commanding the army.

"promise!"

Bai Qi is doing his part.

After the discussion was completed, Ouyang Shuo announced the end of the meeting.

The next work, including the drafting of the combat plan, the deployment of logistics materials, and the mobilization of troops, is the responsibility of the Military Affairs Department.

This is another big battle launched by Shanhai City after the Battle of Lianzhou. It will take at least half a month or even longer for the preparation work.

The quickest way to attack Leizhou is from the sea. Therefore, the Military Affairs Administration also coordinates the first formation of the North Gulf Fleet, which is responsible for the transportation of troops and supplies.

After the meeting ended, Ouyang Shuo summoned Black Snake.

"The territory plans to take Leizhou, and the Black Snake Guards should also be dispatched. Order the Quanzhou intelligence station to infiltrate the major territories of Leizhou as soon as possible, and lay a good front for the military operation." Ouyang Shuo cut to the chase.

Hearing the words, the black snake was shocked, and solemnly said: "Please rest assured, my lord!"

The Black Snake Guard, which has invested a huge amount of money in its construction, has really come to the time to test the results. Black Snake knew very well what this battle meant to the Black Snake Guards, and there was no room for loss.

"Go!"

After the black snake left, Ouyang Shuo sat alone in the study, closing his eyes and meditating.

The Leizhou battle was a battle that Shanhai City could not afford to lose, and it was also the first time Shanhai City fought outside its territory. It was a great test for both logistics and intelligence.

In addition to dispatching the Black Snake Guards, the Military Intelligence Department is also on the move. The task of the Military Intelligence Department is to find out the geographical terrain of Leizhou and the number of troops in each territory as soon as possible, so as to provide intelligence for the army.

The two major intelligence agencies each have their own focus.

As a lord, Ouyang Shuo has more to consider. Now he has to plan Leizhou's post-war situation. Who will be the governor of Leizhou County is the biggest problem.

The territory has yet to find a qualified civil servant who can take on this important task. Among the magistrates, Wei Ran is the only one who has this ability, but it's a pity that Shanhai City still needs him to sit in charge.

Among the various departments of the Hou Mansion, only Fan Zhongyan can take on this important task. Fan Zhongyan was even more unable to mobilize. Soon Tian Wenjing will go to Yashan City to take up his post, and the Hou Mansion still needs Fan Zhongyan to take the helm.

Not only that, but how to strengthen management outside the isolated territory of Leizhou is also a problem.

All in all, things are complicated.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo felt a little headache, the reserve of civil servants in the territory was still too weak.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Ouyang Shuo could only comfort himself in this way, this kind of mentality is really not what a lord should have.

In the afternoon, Ouyang Shuo summoned Fan Zhongyan.

He will attack Leizhou and then attack Chiyou City. He briefly explained the military operation to Fan Zhongyan, and then said: "Xiwen, you have to shoulder the heavy burden. From now on, you must find qualified officials to take over Leizhou and Wuzhou smoothly. ,prepare in advance."

Fan Zhongyan was a little embarrassed when he heard this.

The construction of Yashan City and Shenjuan City has successively poached two batches of low-level officials.

Even with the Southwest University Hall and schools in various prefectures and counties providing a steady stream of students, the grassroots officials in the territory cannot meet the needs of the two counties at once.

Seeing Fan Zhongyan's expression, Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to frown, Xiwen. The most important thing is to select a group of young officials with potential. As for the basic officials, you can select them locally."

Fan Zhongyan relaxed when he heard the words: "So, I understand!"

Ouyang Shuo waved his hands and said, "Okay, let's go to work!"

"promise!"

After Fan Zhongyan left, Ouyang Shuo wrote another letter to his brother-in-law Song Wen.

Tianshuang County is located in the Zhaoqing area. Ouyang Shuo hoped that Tianshuang County could provide some logistical support when the Shanhai City army passed through Zhaoqing.

In return, the Shanhai City army will stay in Zhaoqing for a short period of time to assist Tianshuang County in unifying the Zhaoqing area. Whether he can seize the opportunity depends on Song Wen's methods and the strength of Tianshuang County.

In addition, there are estimated to be members of [Shanhai League-Sky Frost League] in Leizhou area, Ouyang Shuo asked Song Wen to provide a list. For these members, if they are willing to surrender, Ouyang Shuo will deal with them lightly.

After finishing his work, Ouyang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.

The various arrangements finally paved the way for the army to attack Leizhou. This is exactly what the lord should do. The general in charge fights on the front line, and the lord is responsible for clearing all obstacles outside the battlefield.

************

April twenty-eighth.

In the morning, Shanhai City ushered in a special guest, and he was Jing Jian from Qin State. This person is not only Wei Yang's recommender, but also Wei Yang's most important right-hand man during the Qin Reform.

Hearing that Wei Yang was serving as an official in Shanhai City, Supervisor Jing specially came to vote.

This is the agglomeration effect of top talents. For example, although Jiang Shang did not become an official, he attracted Sun Wu, and then Sun Bin, bringing out a series of talents.

As a patriarch of Legalism, a patriarch of Qin, Wei Yang's influence cannot be ignored.

Among them, the title [Xiongzhu] that Ouyang Shuo obtained is also subtly exerting influence.

Jing Jian is a tall, thin middle-aged man, because he was born as a general, and his body is unusually strong. This person is introverted and enthusiastic, gentle on the outside, but full of resilience on the inside. He is a rare talent.

Ouyang Shuo personally met Jing Jian and temporarily placed him in the Hou's residence.

[Name]: Jing Jian (King level)

【Dynasty】: Warring States (Qin)

[Identity]: Resident of Shanhai City

[Occupation]: civil servant

[Loyalty]: 75 points

[Commander]: 55 [Force]: 55 [Intelligence]: 55 [Politics]: 70

[Speciality]: Encouraging talents (increasing the popularity of the territory by 5%), worrying about the country and the people (increasing the efficiency of the territory's affairs by 20%)

[Comment]: The surname is Mi, the Jing family, the family of Chu, and the name is Jian. Qin Xiaogong's favorite minister once recommended Shang Yang.

After looking at the attributes of Jingjian, Ouyang Shuo was thoughtful.

The attributes of Jingjian in all aspects are relatively ordinary, and there are no outstanding specialties. What is rare is that he has no obvious shortcomings and can easily adapt to the two major categories of military and political positions.

Since Jing Jian came for Wei Yang, Ouyang Shuo naturally had to think about it when arranging his duties. Coincidentally, Ouyang Shuo also needs to make some changes to the Department of Internal Affairs, so it's a good idea for Jing Jian to come here.

Coincidentally, the next day, Wei Yang returned to Shanhai City, and the journey was full of dust and dust.

Knowing that Jing Jian came to vote, Wei Yang was also very happy. Before that, he lingered in restaurants and teahouses, but he didn't contact the old Ministry of Qin. He didn't expect that the old Ministry would come to vote as soon as he showed up in Shanhai City.

It is really a pleasure to meet old friends.

Seeing Wei Yang's expression, Ouyang Shuo roughly guessed that Wei Yang's inspection of Lianzhou for a month will surely bring him something. When I came back, I met my old friend again, so I was naturally more happy than happy.

That night, Ouyang Shuo hosted a banquet in honor of Wei Yang and Jing Jian at the Hou Mansion.

At the banquet, it is natural for the host and guest to have a good time.

Taking advantage of the excitement, Wei Yang told a lot about what he had seen and heard along the way.

The foundation of Lianzhou County is better than Wei Yang imagined. Compared with the original Qin State, it is even better. Ouyang Shuo's painstaking planning all this time was in vain.

The painstakingly managed Lianzhou County is really Ouyang Shuo's proud work. Whether it is the administration of officials or the people's livelihood, they are all above the passing line.

Of course, there are hidden dangers.

The one that impressed Wei Yang the most was that with the widening gap between the rich and the poor, local tyrants began to breed everywhere. And far away from the base camp, some bad things have begun to rise.

And that's the job of the Home Office.

Wei Yang deserves to be Wei Yang, and he sees the problem to the point.

After the banquet, Ouyang Shuo brought the two of them to the study room and explained their positions in advance.

Both of them are quite satisfied with their respective positions. Ouyang Shuo even consulted Wei Yang for the adjustment of the structure of the Internal Affairs Department, and got a satisfactory answer.

************

On April 30th, Ouyang Shuo presided over the political discussion.

Before the political discussion, Ouyang Shuo introduced Wei Yang and Jing Jian to all the courtiers present. Both of them are famous historical figures, and all the ministers already know it when they are mentioned a little bit.

Especially Wei Yang is even more famous.

Ouyang Shuo looked around and said, "Before the political discussion, the Marquis will announce a few appointments and dismissals."

As soon as the voice fell, the hall fell silent.

For a period of time, Junhou did not announce the appointment and dismissal of personnel in public.

"Remove Tian Wenjing from the post of Director of Internal Affairs and transfer to the post of City Guard of Yashan City. Wei Yang succeeds Tian Wenjing as Director of Internal Affairs."

The first appointment and dismissal is shocking.

The courtiers did not expect that it was a director who was transferred.

From the director of the interior affairs department to the city guard, it seems that he has been downgraded by one level, but seeing Tian Wenjing's expression, there is nothing unusual. A minister with a delicate mind can think that there is another reason for the horror.

Tian Wenjing and Wei Yang came out at the same time and accepted the appointment.

"Thank you Junhou for your trust!"

Wei Yang came out and bowed to thank him.

When Wei Yang first appeared, Song Yin, the director of criminal punishment, already had a happy expression on his face. Strictly speaking, Song Yin can be regarded as a half legalist disciple.

Seeing that Wei Yang became the Director of Internal Affairs and became his immediate boss, Song Yin became even more excited.

Ouyang Shuo continued: "The Audit Department of the Internal Affairs Bureau has been renamed the Supervision Department. In addition to the original audit duties, it will also be responsible for the supervision of the prefectures, counties and officials in the territory."

Another bombshell.

After the renaming, the Supervision Department has its powers among the various departments, and it can definitely be ranked in the top three.

"Qin Shen, the former Director of Audit, was transferred to the Director of Taxation of the Finance Department. Qian Lifei, the former Director of Taxation, was transferred to the Director of Taxation of the Shanhai Prefecture Finance Department."

The hall was silent again.

Qian Lifei became the second department chief to be demoted after Song San, and his face was already pale at this moment. The rest of the directors also had different expressions, and they were all worried.

The signal released by Junhou today is obvious, no position is an "iron rice bowl". The capable go up and the mediocre go down, it's not just talk, it's for real.

Ouyang Shuo publicly announced the appointment and dismissal of personnel, which implied deterrence, and then said: "Jing Jian will succeed Qin Shen as the Supervision Director."

"Thank you Junhou for your trust!"

So far, a new round of appointment and removal of personnel has come to an end.
