Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 244: The transformation of Xuzhou
"The inspection time and the number of 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 actions, you can directly appeal to me. I specially send someone to judge."
Considering that the Supervision Division may become a mad dog that bites anyone it sees, Chutian gave his subordinates the right of appeal in order to protect the chiefs of various counties and avoid causing panic among civil servants.
If the Superintendent bites people, once the appeal is successful, the Superintendent will get burned.
It's a check and balance.
I heard that I can appeal, and the faces of the civil servants here softened a little. 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 Division. 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 allow the Supervision Division to 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. ."
Chutian considers that different counties have different levels of development and natural resources are also very different, so the assessment of each county magistrate cannot be generalized.
It is up to Fang Xuanling how to formulate an assessment plan.
"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 held, which is also divided into two forms: civil examination and military examination."
Chutian intends to extend the imperial examination system from Langya to the whole of Xuzhou, as a mechanism for selecting talents in the future, completely replacing the examination of Xiaolian.
The talent selection system of filial piety and honesty has given the aristocratic family too many resources. They often recommend disciples of the aristocratic family, monopolizing the resources of the upper class.
Chu Tian estimates that his use of the imperial examination system instead of filial piety will cause violent opposition from the family, because it will harm their interests.
As expected, many officials from Xuzhou aristocratic families whispered in private and criticized Chutian'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 a lot of gold and silver heroes in the first imperial examination. The screening method of the imperial examination system reduced the cost of finding talents for Chutian, and at the same time broke 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 family. If each family is dedicated to cultivating disciples, with the resources and family style of the family, the success rate of the younger generation is very high, no better than the commoners. If it is the imperial examination, it cannot stand out. If you are mediocre, 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 who were present 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 Ju Xiaolian 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 can't do better, and selecting talents by the imperial examination system is already the best solution.
The system of supervision, assessment, and selection of officials was established, which basically solved the problem of management of officials.
Secondly, there is the penalty. Each county has a county government responsible for handling disputes, as well as dungeons and head arrests.
"When determining 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 which 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 law. , and promulgated after my 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 even Li Kui and Wang Lang can't decide a case, 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 families are most concerned about.
The vast majority 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 palace, they will definitely rise up, or contact other states. Mu replaces Chutian.
In order to temporarily appease the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, Chu Tian, who did not intend to do anything to the aristocratic family, said: "The private land of each family should be reserved. The farmland reclaimed by the lord's mansion and the abandoned farmland will be owned by the lord's mansion. All. Private land, temporarily prohibited from buying and selling."
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 and planting of various crops in an effort to increase grain yield. Li Kui and Miss Xia have already experimented with a one-year new crop rotation arrangement in Langya. The habits of Langya have been well known. In the future, various counties can learn from the experience of Langya, especially the experience of Kaiyang County in Langya.”
The county with the best governance under the Chutian rule is Kaiyang County. Try to grow new crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, potatoes, etc., and already have detailed information, you 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 expeditions 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 has an empty treasury.
"The resettlement of refugees and the reclamation of new farmland will be left to the three ministers: 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, next year You can harvest a lot of snacks.”
Chutian made a supplement 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 has dropped sharply, ten rooms and nine empty spaces, and it is still impossible to count."
Chu Tian was silent.
Xuzhou was very chaotic for 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 is at war, and the population changes every day, it is impossible for Xuzhou officials to conduct household registration statistics even for the huge Xuzhou.
A village and town founded by a lord may exist today and be destroyed tomorrow. Xuzhou officials were powerless and meaningless.
"The counties and counties carry out strict statistics on the household registration. The current Xuzhou is no longer the chaotic Xuzhou before. It is necessary to thoroughly check the number of people in Xuzhou to determine the field, corvette and labor."
"For the villages living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, persuade them to surrender to the government, or migrate 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 wars."
"Suppress the bandits in the counties and counties in Xuzhou, forcing them to surrender, and enriching the population of the counties and counties."
The experience of governing the kingdom of Langya made Chutian gradually mature, and he drew inferences from one case.
“Then repair roads, bustling markets, and promote trade.”
Chutian has detailed arrangements for agriculture, population, household registration, roads and economy.
Roads, that is, the construction of roads connecting all important towns in Xuzhou.
Especially, the official roads between Langya City-Xiacheng-Tancheng-Xiapi City should be widened, so that Chutian can adjust troops calmly, and it is also convenient for caravans to transport goods and food.
Economic development depends on the cash crops and specialty products of each county.
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, and financing is also essential.
Chutian has received a lot of benefits from the bank, and many financial crises have been overcome 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 might think.
Chutian, who had benefited from it, simply extended the Langya bank to the entire 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 one million taels of silver. Reserve 30% of the reserve fund, which can temporarily use 700,000 taels of silver when starting a war.
This is the power of finance.
However, the reputation of the bank needs to be maintained for a long time 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 didn't 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 people to build a large number of sea ships to engage in trade and fishery. The people who coordinate foreign trade are Miss Xia and Mi Zhu. In case of disagreement, Miss Xia's judgment shall prevail."
Chutian once again placed Summer Cool on Mi Zhu.
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 is 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 will be 500 to 1,000 sea ships, including no less than 50 building ships and various medium-sized warships."
Chutian considered a 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 will find a way to shorten the time required for the voyage. Otherwise, the sea transportation will not only be unprofitable, but will suffer heavy losses."
Summer cool reminds Chutian of one thing.
Actually, 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. Considering the influence of three-dimensional space, the straight-line distance is extended by more than four times.
That means the voyage time is at least four times longer than reality.
How can long shipping times be shortened?
Chutian couldn't imagine that it would take a year to travel back and forth from Xuzhou to Liaodong by sea.
Lord is a game after all, and there should be a way to shorten the long voyage.
There are teleportation arrays on land that can solve the journey of too long distances, and there should be also on the sea. After all, the sea is bigger than the mainland.
Chutian can't send someone to spend four years to reach Europe~IndoMTL.com~ The logistics can't be replenished at all...
"Ding! The second national war event - 'The First Collision of Civilizations' will open 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 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 begin, which will promote exchanges and collisions between civilizations in the main world. Each port will be able to build teleportation arrays for ships, Teleportation Arrays can teleport ships to 'neutral waters' to reach their target ports faster. Making full use of the Teleportation Arrays 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 began 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, all of them may encounter this time..."
Chu Tian thought about it for a while, and his Tian Khan characteristics finally came into play.
