Chapter 385: Rules and Talents

The rewards are justified, the punishments are justified, and the superiors are not rewarded and punished because of the momentary happiness and anger, and everything is done according to the rules. Jiang Jiaquan has always wanted to establish the rules in the Zhengdong Mansion. Injustice, punishment must not be uneven. Rewards know what they do, and the warrior knows what he will die; punishments know what he inflicts, and evil knows what he fears. Therefore, rewards should not be given in vain, and punishments should not be imposed indiscriminately. Rewards given in vain will cause labor and officials to resent, and punishments that are imposed indiscriminately will lead to resentment.

The discipline of the Fufeng Army is extremely strict, and the rules are well established, but this order has not been extended to the high-level. In Jiang Jiaquan's view, this is a very fatal problem.

Listening to Jiang Jiaquan's words, Gao Yuan's eyes were a little strange, "Mr. Jiang, these are my good brothers who have been through life and death. I never regard them as subordinates, but as friends."

"This is exactly the problem!" Jiang Jiaquan said mercilessly: "General, the superior must make the subordinates awe, and this awe is not only based on personal bravery and mutual friendship, it should be established In terms of system, let's use an inappropriate analogy. The current Niulan Mountain camp will be full of labor. , if it is necessary to send another person, will He Lanxiong, Zheng Xiaoyang and the others obey this person's order without reservation?"

Gao Yuan's expression could not help but shudder.

"For another example, Sun Xiao is now in charge of Jishi Mountain, but judging from the process described by Bai Yucheng, He Lanyan Helan coach has a lot of irregularities in this operation. It can be said that for this time The battle of Renbaokang added a lot of variables. Although the result was good, and the instructor of Helan also made great contributions by accident, it was just a coincidence, general. Can you expect such a coincidence in every battle in the future? In my opinion When they find out that there are a thousand Hejian soldiers in Baokang City, this operation should be cancelled." Jiang Jiaquan talked eloquently: "The general can think about this battle. There are too many coincidences. It can be said that there is a difference in any point. What awaits us is a failure, and failure will inevitably lead to unpredictable consequences. If this Hejian County will be a powerful person, he will block our attack. Then The next step is to detect where this force comes from? Then, the secret of Jishi Mountain may not be kept, and now, Jishi Mountain is still in its infancy and vulnerable to a single blow."

"Why can't Sun Xiao do anything to Instructor Helan? This involves the identity of Instructor Helan." Jiang Jiaquan smiled slightly, "I heard what Bai Yucheng said, the relationship between the general and Instructor Helan is not simple, right?"

Gao Yuan's face couldn't help but feel hot. "The things in it are hard to describe."

Jiang Jiaquan didn't get entangled in this issue either, and just laughed it off, "Why did this change happen? It's because the rights and responsibilities between Sun Xiao and He Lanyan are unclear, and it's hard to understand. Besides, during the banquet today, County Magistrate Wu It's quite casual, I know that the relationship between County Magistrate Wu and the general is extraordinary, but I hope that when this kind of friendship appears, it will only be between the general and him in private, not in public."

"The general now governs a smaller territory,

Most of the troops under your command are the army. In other words, the area under the jurisdiction of Zhengdong Mansion is basically under military control, but general, with the expansion of your territory in the future, the military and government will inevitably be separated. The army has military discipline and other constraints, but the local administration Woolen cloth? If the local chief executive doesn't have enough authority, then it's too easy to let those policies that are beneficial to the people and the general be ignored. He glanced at Gao Yuan, saw that the other party was sitting upright, with a serious expression on his face, and nodded with satisfaction, "The edict of the King of Yan is difficult to come out of Tianhe County, and the princes of the following counties will take care of it if they want to, and ignore it if they don't want to. Why? ? King Yan's authority is insufficient. Of course, the problem here is not only the law, it involves many problems, but general, think about it, will there be any problems in the execution of King Qin Wulie's orders in Qin? The answer is yes, no. "

Gao Yuan understood, "Friendship is private, but above official business, there must be rules and regulations. Presumably Mr. Chang Shi already has a secret plan in his heart."

"It's not just a belly case!" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "I have already drawn up a specific law, and I just want to wait for the general to come back and submit it to the general for approval, and then go all over the general's jurisdiction."

"Okay, then you can show me." Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Chang Shi has worked hard."

"What about hard work?" Jiang Jiaquan shook his head again and again, "This is what I have studied all my life. The general can make what I have learned useful. Jiaquan is extremely grateful."

"May what you have learned help me succeed!" Gao Yuan nodded, "Let's do what the gentleman said. Well, Cao Tianci, the military justice, can be your assistant."

"Although Tianci is young, he is very upright and rigorous in his work. I appreciate it!" Jiang Jiaquan nodded, "It's really rare at such a young age, general, this son will be a court officer in the future!"

Gao Yuan glanced at Jiang Jiaquan and couldn't help laughing. "Let's not talk about this, sir. I have a difficult problem to solve now. I don't know why sir taught me?"

"General, please speak."

Gao Yuan scratched his head, "There are many people under my command who can fight wars, but there are too few scholars who can manage affairs, especially civil affairs, and understand foreign affairs. Some things can be done with twice the effort. What can be done to solve it?"

"Unexpectedly, the general is famous for his martial arts, but he values ​​scholars so much?" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile.

Gao Yuan said sternly: "I don't understand this very well. Conquer the world immediately, but you can't rule the world immediately. Let those guys like Sun Xiao manage the civil affairs. It must be messed up. Dividing civil and military affairs is the right way!"

Jiang Jiaquan's eyes lit up, "Civil and military divisions, mutual restraint, the general's idea is good. But let alone Fufeng Chima, even Liaoxi, there are not many seeds for reading, and the only ones are held in the hands of Zhang Junshou. As for the friendship between the general and the sheriff, it is embarrassing to pry the corner of the wall."

"I think so too, so I'm going to ask my father-in-law for some people." Gao Yuan nodded.

"No!" Jiang Jiaquan's expression changed. "General, this matter needs to be cautious. Now, the Ye family has injected tens of thousands of craftsmen into Fufeng, and the number of family members has reached tens of thousands, which is almost more than the total number of people in Fufeng and Chima, and Ye Zhenshu Thousands of elites join the East Conquest Army. If the general uses people from the Ye family to manage civil affairs, how can I ask whether the future conquest of the East Mansion will be done by the general or by the Ye family? General, don’t forget, These people also have a backbone in Fufeng, and that is Madam."

Gao Yuan's face changed slightly, "My husband and wife are one, why do we need to be different?"

"The general and his wife think so, I understand, but the people below may not think so. If I don't dislike scholars, these people are well-informed, have many thoughts, and come from the same place, so they will inevitably form groups and form cliques." Standing on the top of the mountain, this is a big disadvantage in the early days of the general's business!" Jiang Jiaquan said solemnly: "What's more, from Jiang's point of view, what the general needs now is not necessarily a scholar?"

"What's that?" Gao Yuan wondered.

"He is an official who is good at managing affairs!" Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile.

"What's the difference?"

"That's a big difference, General. What you need most now are those scholars with special skills. To put it bluntly, they are some experienced officials who can act as some practical affairs."

"Where can I find such a person? It is more difficult to find such a person than to simply find someone who can read and write." Gao Yuan sighed.

"Of course it is to poach other people's corners." Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "I have been in Yuyang for many years, and I have also met many pragmatic and experienced low-level officials. I have written to them, but I don't know how many people there are. Can you come here? After all, compared to Yuyang, Fufeng is too remote."

"So the master has thought of this long ago?" Gao Yuan couldn't help being overjoyed, "Those old people from Yuyang must be capable if they can get the master's insight."

"It's true to be capable." Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "I used to be with Mr. Jiang and had contact with many official documents and such officials. In fact, in a place like Yuyang, there are really many talents, but Yuyang is already rotten. The employment system is completely messed up, it all depends on the boss's happiness and anger, and nepotism is prevalent, but it is difficult for those talented people to display their talents and waste their time at the bottom, so that these people can come here, Zhengdong Mansion will definitely have a new look."

"Great!" Gao Yuan clapped his palms together, "Why don't Mr. write another letter, and I'll countersign my name and stamp my seal. This way, it may be more convincing."

"Wonderful, this shows the general's eagerness to seek talents. Even if some of them don't come, there are always some people who are unwilling to be mediocre, have ambitions, and want to make a career. People will take the risk to come. That's ten people. Only three or four people responded, and we made a profit." Jiang Jiaquan laughed.

"It's just that, will it cause a backlash from Yuyang? After all, this is an act of stealing someone's corner!" Gao Yuan was a little worried.

"Don't worry, general. Most of these people are low-level officials, and the one with the highest official position is only an assistant food and grass position in the county mansion. They may be very happy when they leave, and they can finally install some people. I'm on my own." Jiang Jiaquan knew Yuyang's inside story very well, and said with a smile while touching his beard.

Gao Yuan was relieved, but his thoughts jumped to another matter, "What do you think I should do with Ye Zhen's elite?"

"The general has made a decision a long time ago, it is wonderful to think about it." Jiang Jiaquan said.

"I'm not going to put them into the army, put them by my side first, and let me command them personally. In the name of personal guards, my original five hundred personal guards can go back to Jishi Mountain !" Gao Yuan said lightly.

"It's a good move." Jiang Jiaquan nodded bluntly, "I know Ye Zhen is a very capable person, and he must be more considerate than Tie Xuan and Ding Wei to protect the general's safety. Tie Ding and Tie Ding are loyal , but congenitally deficient, Ye Zhen, regardless of his martial arts, or his ability in security, is better than the two of them and is not at the same level."
