"The time and number of people inspected by the Supervision Division in various counties are not fixed. As long as the prefects and magistrates can be diligent and diligent, the Supervision Division will not embarrass you. In addition, if you have any objection to the Supervision Division's practices, you can directly appeal to me, and I will send a special dispatch. trial."

Considering that the Supervision Division might become a mad dog who would bite anyone he saw, Chutian gave his subordinates the right of appeal in order to protect the officers of various counties and avoid causing panic among the civil servants.

If the Supervision Division bites people, once the appeal is successful, the Supervision Division will get burned.

It's a check and balance.

Hearing that he could appeal, the expressions of the civil servants present softened slightly. They all understand that the Supervision Division is a double-edged sword used by Chutian to supervise subordinate officials. If they are accidentally targeted by the Supervision Division, they will all be in danger.

Even Xia Xia Liang, who has been with Chutian for more than three years, is not willing to be targeted by the Supervision Department. However, the Supervision Division did not dare to trouble her, otherwise she would go to Chutian and successfully appeal, and the entire Supervision Division would be removed from the 150 people.

Chutian will not let the Supervision Division bite people everywhere.

"Fang Xuanling is responsible for assessing the administration of officials in various counties and counties. There is a small examination every year and a major examination every three years. The assessment standard depends on each county and county, which will serve as the basis for future promotions, rewards, and even the application for the title of lord in the above table."

Considering that different counties have different levels of development and different natural resources, Chutian cannot generalize the assessment of each county magistrate.

How to formulate an assessment plan was left to Fang Xuanling.

"The source of candidate officials is the imperial examination system. In June of this year, which is the fourth year of the lord's calendar, the second imperial examination will be conducted, which is also divided into two forms: civil examination and military examination."

Chutian intends to extend the imperial examination system from Langya to the entire Xuzhou, as a mechanism for selecting talents in the future, completely replacing the examination of filial piety and integrity.

The talent selection system of filial piety and honesty has given the aristocratic family too many resources, and they often recommend disciples of the aristocratic family, monopolizing the upper-level resources.

Chu Tian estimated that his use of the imperial examination system instead of filial piety would cause severe opposition from the aristocratic family, because it would damage their interests.

Sure enough, many officials from Xuzhou aristocratic families whispered in private and criticized Chu Tian's actions.

"Please don't whisper. Langya has already held an imperial examination and selected hundreds of talents, so Langya is so strong. It can be seen that the imperial examination system is conducive to discovering talents."

Chutian did find many gold-level and silver-level heroes in the first imperial examination.

The screening method of the imperial examination system reduces the cost of finding talented people for Chutian, and at the same time breaks the monopoly of the inherent family to a certain extent.

"Everyone, don't think that the imperial examination system will have too much influence on each aristocratic family. If each aristocratic family cultivates disciples with heart, and with the resources and family style of the aristocratic family, the success rate of the younger generation is very high, no better than that of ordinary people. If it is a mediocre person who cannot even stand out in the imperial examination, then Even if you are filial and honest, you will only harm one side of the people. You must all understand this truth."

Chutian's principle is very simple. Since he is a disciple of an aristocratic family, he has the ability to pass the imperial examination system.

The Xuzhou aristocratic families present at the scene could not admit that their descendants might not be as good as the descendants of the commoners, so they had to acquiesce to the fact that the imperial examination system replaced filial piety in Xuzhou. The success rate of the disciples of the aristocratic family is much higher than that of ordinary civilians. From this point of view, the family still has the advantage.

Chutian couldn't do better, and selecting talents by the imperial examination system was already the best solution.

The system of supervision, assessment and selection of officials was established, which basically solved the problem of management of officials.

Second, there is punishment. Each county has a county government responsible for handling disputes, as well as dungeons and head arrests.

"When judging each case, a file should be prepared so that the case can be reversed in the future."

"For cases that cannot be decided by each county, or that may be controversial, they will be submitted to the county government. If the county government cannot determine the matter, it will be handed over to Li Kui and Wang Lang. Li Kui and Wang Lang will determine the new laws and regulations. It will be promulgated after approval.”

Chu Tian made Li Kui and Wang Lang responsible for the punishment, with Li Kui as the leader. At the same time, Li Kui also served as the Prime Minister of Lang Ya, so the difficult cases were decided by Wang Lang. Wang Lang's characteristic of "governing prison" just works.

"If there is a case that even Li Kui and Wang Lang can't decide, then submit it to me, and I will decide it myself."

Chutian announced the contents of the new ruling system one by one, from official management to punishment, to establish the most basic framework.

More specific content, such as how to assess the performance of officials and the regulations applicable to civil litigation, depends on how Fang Xuanling, Li Kui, and Wang Lang are determined.

Anyway, Chutian is the last person to handle it, and everything needs to be approved by him before everything takes effect.

"And then there's the matter of Nong Sang."

Chutian mentioned the land issue that all the families are most concerned about.

Most of the aristocratic families are big landlords and own a lot of land. If Chutian declares that there is no king's land in the world and turns their private land into the lord's mansion, they will definitely rise up, or contact other state shepherds to replace Chu. sky.

In order to temporarily appease the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, Chu Tian, ​​who was not planning to do anything to the aristocratic family, said: "The private land of each family should be reserved. The farmland that the lord's house arranged for the refugees to reclaim and the farmland that was originally abandoned belong to the lord's house. Private ownership. Land, the sale and purchase is temporarily prohibited."

Chutian plans to win over the Xuzhou family first, and then try to turn the farmland into king's land, and the ownership of all the land will belong to the lord's mansion. As for the newly reclaimed farmland organized by the lord's house, as well as the farmland that no one cultivated because of the war, they belonged directly to the lord's house.

"Agricultural affairs in various counties and counties should be adapted to local conditions, with rotating tillage, planting a variety of crops, and striving to increase grain yield. Li Kui and Miss Xia have already experimented with the new crop rotation arrangement for one year in Langya Country, and they have already learned about the habits of each new crop. I know everything like the palm of my hand. In the future, all counties can learn from the experience of Langya Kingdom, especially the experience of Kaiyang County of Langya Kingdom.”

The best-governed county under the Chutian rule is Kaiyang County. It has tried to grow new crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, and potatoes. With detailed information, they can know their growth habits and then arrange agricultural production.

Because of the inflow of new crops in the Americas, the food production in Langya country has increased, which can feed more people, and the food for future wars will be worry-free.

The difference from the real world is that there are various bonuses in "Lord" that can increase the production of food.

For example, the special building of the Observatory can increase the food production by 5%.

When a city develops for decades, it may be able to support 2 to 10 times the population.

Therefore, farming is very necessary.

A state that has grown over decades is stronger than a state that is constantly at war and whose treasury is empty.

"The resettlement of refugees and the reclamation of new farmland are left to the three prime ministers of Langya, Donghai, and Xiapi. Be sure to complete the reclamation of new farmland and resettlement of refugees before sowing in October this year. Sow in October and harvest next year. Lots of snacks."

Chutian added more and asked Mi Zhu, "Are the household registration statistics in Xuzhou detailed now?"

Mi Zhu shook his head: "The wars continue, the population of the counties and counties has dropped sharply, and there are ten rooms and nine empty spaces. It is still impossible to count."

Chu Tian was silent.

Xuzhou was very chaotic in the first three or four years.

The various lords first fought at the village level, then at the town level, then at the county level, and finally at the annexation between the county and the state.

According to Mi Zhu, because every village and town was at war, and the population changed every day, it was impossible for Xuzhou officials to conduct household registration statistics even if they wanted to count the huge Xuzhou.

A village and town founded by a lord may exist today and be destroyed tomorrow. Xuzhou officials were powerless and meaningless.

"Counties and counties conduct strict statistics on household registration. Now Xuzhou is no longer the chaotic Xuzhou before. It is necessary to thoroughly check the number of people in Xuzhou to determine Tianfu and corvée."

"For the villages living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, persuade them to surrender to the government, or move them to the plains. The plains of Xuzhou still have huge agricultural potential, and there is no need for them to go to the mountains and forests to avoid war."

"Clean up the bandits in the counties and counties of Xuzhou, forcing them to surrender, and enriching the population of the counties and counties."

The experience of governing Langya country made Chutian gradually mature, and he drew inferences from one case, and the same principle was also applicable to other counties and states in Xuzhou.

"Then repair roads, bustling markets, and promote trade."

Chutian has detailed arrangements for agriculture, population, household registration, roads and economy.

Road, that is, the construction of roads connecting all important towns in Xuzhou.

In particular, the official roads between Langya City-Xiacheng-Tancheng-Xiapi City should be widened, so that Chutian can easily adjust troops, and it is also convenient for caravans to transport goods and grains.

Economic development depends on the cash crops and specialty products of each county.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains and water, counties on the plains develop agriculture, counties located by the sea develop trade, and counties with mineral veins develop mining…

"Establish a unified bank in Xuzhou, named 'Tongbao Bank', set up a head office in Xiacheng, and set up branches in each county to attract deposits. The head office must reserve 30% of the reserve fund."

To get rich, build roads first, and financing is also essential.

Chutian has already received a lot of benefits from the bank, and many financial crises have been survived by borrowing from the bank. It can be said that without the bank established by Xia Xia Liang, Chutian has gone bankrupt many times.

Being a lord is not as easy as you think.

Chutian, who got the benefit, simply extended the bank of Langya to the whole of Xuzhou, and used the bank to make money. When necessary, Chutian can reach out to Qianzhuang for money.

If one person deposits 100 copper coins in the bank, the population of 10 million is 1 million taels of silver. Reserve 30% of the reserve fund, which can temporarily use 700,000 taels of silver when starting a war.

That's the power of finance.

However, the reputation of the bank takes a long time to operate before the people can trust it.

"The account book of Tongbao Bank is reported to me every three months, and a copy is prepared for Miss Xia to check."

Chu Tian also did not dare to ensure that he would not be fooled by the subordinates who managed the bank. After all, the account books were easy to be falsified, so he could only entrust Xia Tianliang to review. She is one of the people who doesn't want something to happen to Xuzhou.

"And foreign trade..."

The foreign trade that Chutian refers to is not entirely the trade with other civilizations. The foreign trade here refers to the area outside Xuzhou.

"At present, there are two important ports, Qu County (Lianyungang) and Xihai County (Rizhao), which can encourage the private sector to build a large number of sea vessels to engage in trade and fisheries. The people who coordinate foreign trade are Miss Xia and Mi Zhu. If there is any disagreement , subject to Miss Xia's judgment."

Chutian put Xia Liang on Mi Zhu again.

The reason is not too complicated. Xia Xia Liang knows which civilizations exist outside the sea, and can contact the forces and lords of other civilizations and reach trade agreements with them. Mi Zhu couldn't do that.

The role of Mi Zhu was to integrate the resources of Quxian and even the East China Sea, and to establish coastal and even ocean-going fleets.

"In one year, build 100 sea ships. In three years, there must be 500 to 1,000 sea ships, including no less than 50 high-rise ships and various medium-sized warships."

Chutian considered the proposed goal.

"The target of foreign trade is Liaodong, Korea, Yangzhou, and Dongying, and the target of the trade is negotiated by Miss Xia."

"Lord State Shepherd, the sea voyage is longer than you think. We need to find a way to shorten the time required for the voyage. Otherwise, not only will the sea transport not be profitable, but it will suffer heavy losses."

Summer cool reminds Chutian of one thing.

In fact, when Chutian knew about the existence of the world trade node, Chutian had already learned a rather terrifying thing from Xia Liangliang - after the area of ​​"Lord" was expanded, the area of ​​the Pacific Ocean and the Yellow Sea was quite large, regardless of the three-dimensional space. , the straight-line distance extends more than four times.

That means the voyage time is at least four times longer than reality.

How can I shorten the long shipping time?

Chutian could not imagine that it would take a year to travel back and forth by sea from Xuzhou to Liaodong.

Lords is a game after all, and there should be a way to shorten the long voyage.

There is a teleportation array on the land that can solve the journey that is too long, and there should be one on the sea. After all, the sea is bigger than the mainland.

Chutian can't send someone to spend four years to reach Europe, so the logistics can't be replenished at all...

"Ding! The second national war event, 'The First Collision of Civilizations', will be launched in August of the fourth year of the lord calendar. Please check the content of the event notice. This national war covers all civilizations, only the great lords of each civilization. can participate.”

"Ding! Considering that the ocean area is too large, after the end of the second national war, a preliminary era of great sailing will be opened to promote exchanges and collisions between civilizations in the main world. Each port will be able to build a teleportation array for ships, and the teleportation array can Teleport ships to 'neutral waters' to reach the target port faster. Making full use of the teleportation array can effectively shorten the sailing time, trade with other civilizations, or attack hostile civilizations."

Chutian suddenly received a system notification, and the whole person was stunned.

The second national war started in the fourth year of the lord calendar. It was not a historical battle, but a competition covering all civilizations? The port's teleportation array will also be opened, and the era of great sailing is beginning to take shape!

"Western civilization, North African civilization, Indian civilization, and the Arab Empire may all encounter this time..."

Chu Tian thought about it for a while, and his Tian Khan characteristics were finally useful.
