Chapter 253 New Official Takes Office
"Greetings, Your Highness. Reading"
The meeting hall of the royal palace.
Zhu Tuo, Qu Lu, Zhuang Jiande, Tian Wenhao, four people saluted Zhao Xu.
These four people were selected by him and Liu Fu as the four county governors of Yanzhou.
Among them, except Zhu Tuo who was not from Yanzhou, the other three were selected from the fourteen county magistrates of Yan County and Shanggu County.
The official examination was naturally held to take care of the poor scholars.
But he also couldn't let the old subordinates feel cold.
It's impossible to let the four county governors all be selected from the scholars on the list.
Otherwise, his old subordinates will definitely be dissatisfied.
Moreover, many of the scholars on the list have no experience in serving as officials.
They must be allowed to gain experience at the grassroots level, after all, theory and practice are equally important.
If they are really capable, they will naturally be recognized by the officials of Yanzhou.
At that time, they will be promoted to high positions such as county governors, so that the officials will not gossip.
"No need to be polite." Zhao Xu's eyes swept over the four people one by one.
At the beginning, he only controlled Yan County, and the county governor Liu Fu was also in charge of it.
With the addition of Shanggu County, the government office could barely operate.
But now there are suddenly two more counties, and Liu Fu can't do without county governors to help him manage the affairs of Yanzhou.
"At present, the four counties of Yanzhou are in ruins. You must be diligent in government affairs when you take your respective posts. At the same time, you must actively implement the government orders issued by the royal palace. Don't shirk or procrastinate. Remember, the official hats on your heads are given by this king, and I can also take them off." Zhao Xu said slowly.
"Yes, Your Highness." Zhu Tuo and others responded, all with serious faces.
Zhao Xu nodded, he said the ugly words in advance.
But he also had to give them some sweet things below.
So he gave Liu Fu a look.
Liu Fu understood and immediately brought the county governor's official uniform and official seal.
"Zhu Tuo, the county governor of Yan County." Zhao Xu came to Zhu Tuo.
The position of the county governor was just below the royal tutor.
As the King of Yan, he felt that he had to personally present them with official robes.
First, to show his respect for them, and second, to make the relationship between him and the county governor more harmonious, so that the entire officialdom of Yanzhou could be more harmonious.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhu Tuo's voice trembled a little.
He had never thought that he would become a county governor one day.
In his mind, it was already precious for a scholar like him from a poor family in Dasong to be able to reach the position of county magistrate.
The position of county governor was only prepared for the children of wealthy families.
"Do a good job." Zhao Xu patted Zhu Tuo's shoulder.
Zhu Tuo was speechless for a while, but nodded heavily.
"Qu Lu, the county governor of Shanggu County." Zhao Xu came to a tall and thin official.
He used to be the county magistrate of Wu'an County, and he was active and brave in the war against Beidi.
Zhao Xu handed the things to him and patted his shoulder as well.
However, 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, the governor of Ping County."
"Tian Wenhao, the governor of Liao County."
Next, he issued official uniforms and official seals to the other two in turn.
Liu Fu stood on one side, looking at them with a smile on his face.
The governors of the four counties were decided, and the government system of Yanzhou was basically complete.
After giving a few more instructions, Zhao Xu asked the seven governors to go back.
"Have the officials of the government offices of each county been selected?" Zhao Xu asked Liu Fu.
The governors naturally cannot be commanders without troops.
When they take office, they must bring a set of officials from their own government offices.
"All is ready." Liu Fu said.
In the past few days, he and the officials of the government offices have been assigning officials to each county day and night.
It can be said that as long as these four governors take office.
When the officials accompanying them go down to the counties of each county, the government system of Yanzhou will be unblocked.
Whatever the King of Yan wants to do next, he only needs a government order.
Zhao Xu heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter of the government system has finally come to an end.
Next, he can make drastic changes to the four northern counties.
"Go back and tell them that after taking office, the first thing is to copy the model of Yan County. One is taxation, one is the distribution of land, and the other is the village head and village soldier system." Zhao Xu issued the first major decree after taking charge of Yanzhou.
"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu bowed.
Yan County was created by the King of Yan.
It is these basic policies that make the people of Yan County very supportive of the King of Yan.
After being implemented in Shanggu County, the people's hearts are also deeply rooted.
This proves that this set of policies is successful and it is completely possible to copy it to the other two counties.
Zhao Xu nodded and waved Liu Fu to go back to work.
Liu Fu turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, Your Highness, there are many failed scholars who want to enter the three major colleges these days. This matter..."
Zhao Xu smiled. This is the charm of the official examination.
He is equivalent to opening a window for these scholars to change their destiny.
People who graduated from the three academies will definitely work for the royal palace in the future.
They naturally rushed to get in.
For Zhao Xu, this was also a good start.
These scholars can read to some extent, so it is much easier to teach them, saving the time of teaching them to read.
"The Science and Technology Academy will only recruit 100 people, the Government Affairs Academy will recruit 500 people, and the Military Academy will also recruit 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 will not be able to go wherever they want in the future."
Zhao Xu knew very well that his greatest advantage was the knowledge in his mind.
If he teaches a proud student, once this student falls under the enemy's command, he will be a nuclear bomb-level threat.
Therefore, they will implement very strict monitoring of these students.
If they had any intention of betrayal, he would definitely let them disappear from the world.
As for the military academy, he recruited these students not for marching and fighting, but for the education of soldiers.
He is not a weapons onlyist.
In his view, the most important things in an army are discipline, training and ideas.
After all, in this era, there is no absolute generational difference in the power of various weapons.
As for the Government Affairs School, of course it comes second.
Because policies that can be implemented in Yanzhou cannot be implemented outside Yanzhou.
After all, in Dasong, where there are no wealthy families, 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 has trained can stay and play in Yanzhou.
After solemnly stating the requirements of the Three Great Halls to Liu Fu, 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 land and smiled.
Although his territory is still very dilapidated, everything is in ruins.
But before long, it will definitely become the richest place in Dasong.
