Chapter 480 Civil Disturbance
Pei Xiao21 stayed in Jianzhou City for seven days. During this period, Pei Xiao3, Liu Xianchun, Zhao Xinlan and other female family members heard the bad news and rushed from Baocheng to Jianzhou overnight to keep vigil for Mr. Pei. As for Liu Zhizu, Wang Daozhi
, Liu Changle, Chen Tianming and others, although they could not come in person due to their duties, they all sent condolences one after another.
After waiting for the first seven days, Pei Xiaoer took Father Pei's body to nearby Chengdu, looked for a Feng Shui treasure cave, and hurriedly buried him.
Time is not waiting for me, the chaos in central Shu is getting bigger and bigger, and it has the potential to spread to the entire four rivers. Although Zhang Bangchu led his troops to suppress it in four places, the situation did not improve at all. After one group of bandits was defeated, two or even three groups
Four groups of thieves appeared, making it hard to guard against.
"General, judging from your humble position, the reason why bandits are so rampant is because the officials in the previous Ming Dynasty were too corrupt and incompetent, and they were very good at oppressing the people and killing the good. This time, the people are no longer able to survive. This time
Then I stood up to resist. 2 Later, I thought that the reason why the rebels quickly rose up and spread across several prefectures in just half a month had something to do with the connivance of the local officials."
In front of the desk, Qiao Chun frowned, pointed at the Sichuan Kanyu map, and expressed his opinion.
"That's right." Pei Xiaoer nodded, "Since our army entered Sichuan, not a single official has been killed and not a single position has been removed. Perhaps these people just want to give us a blow and let us know what these people are like.
sharp."
"Damn it, how dare these bastards think like this? General, let your subordinates lead people to arrest all of these people." Pei Zhuer stood up with a curse and asked for orders.
"No!" In the hall, Qiao Chun, Liu Xianchun and others tried to dissuade him in unison.
Pei Xiaoer also waved his hand and asked Pei Zhu'er to sit down, "Although these people are not the same thing, we rely on our brothers to rule the world, but we really need this group of people. Otherwise, who will help us appease the people?
, who is going to settle civil lawsuits, and who is going to make friends with local tycoons? Should you go, or should I?"
Pei Zhuer said nothing and went back.
After Pei Zhu'er retreated, Pei Xiaoer then said to Qiao Chun: "It's just that we can't remain completely still, otherwise how will this civil unrest be quelled? Not only that, even if we want to send out troops, we can't all shout to kill and kill all the civilians.
If you kill them, who will plow the land and pay taxes?"
This matter is said to be military, but in fact most of it is a civil affairs issue. We only need to solve the problem of people's survival and at least let everyone have enough to eat. Otherwise, it will be like the Ming Dynasty. Not only will the people not support it, but the gentry will also not support it.
The Pei Family Army will always be regarded as thieves. The rule of the Pei Family Army will always be floating in the air, unable to mobilize the full strength of the entire Sichuan River, and there is a risk of collapse at any time.
When it comes to civil affairs, it is Liu Xianchun's business. Liu Xianchun pondered for a moment, stood up, and said: "General, I humbly believe that to deal with these officials, we cannot just use force, and of course we cannot be too weak. Use both soft and hard tactics.
The combination of hardness and softness is the kingly way.
In addition to humble positions, the military government can issue orders in the name of the general to order various places to eliminate civil unrest within the territory as soon as possible and release civilians who have no blood on their hands to return home. Those who do well can be rewarded and promoted by the military government.
However, it was still unable to quell the civil unrest, so the military government needed to use thunderous means.
Anyone who incites civil unrest will be killed without mercy. Those who cannot quell the civil unrest within the country within the time limit will be demoted if necessary, and dismissed if necessary. The military government will never tolerate it. It is expected that within one month, the situation may be dire.
Gradually it calmed down."
This was to pass on the pressure to quell the civil unrest to the local officials in Sichuan. Pei Xiaoer raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xianchun to understand what he meant.
"What do you think, Mr. Qiao?"
On the side, Qiao Chun heard the words and immediately stood up and said: "What Mr. Liu said is absolutely true. It's just that the humble position is considered civilized and it is impossible to lack martial arts. Although the local officials deliberately condoned this civil unrest, it has lasted for so long. Among them,
There are also ambitious people.
For these people, they have long been out of the control of the local officials and are blindly putting pressure on the local officials. I am afraid that even they do not have the ability to solve it."
"That's right, at that time, how could the local officials deal with the group of bandits? At the critical moment, the army still had to line up to see who could cause trouble."
When Pei Xiaoer saw Pei Zhuer squealing again, his face suddenly darkened. Pei Zhuer's expression was always on his face. Seeing this, Pei Xiaoer became displeased again, so he wisely closed his mouth.
, sat back again.
"General, I think what General Pei Zhu'er said is reasonable." But it was Pei Xiaosan who stood up and said, "At the beginning, that group of people may have been considered a riot, but after such a long time, they have killed a lot of people.
, some of them have long since become violent bandits. But if local officials are left to handle it on their own, I am afraid they are beyond their capabilities."
"What General Pei said is absolutely true. The subordinates are not thinking carefully." Liu Xianchun continued, "But the humble position means that the main thing is to provide peace of mind to the people, and the military is the supplement. The people of Sichuan are the foundation of our army. Try not to
Only by causing too much damage can there be enough strength for the general to conquer the world.
Otherwise, the four rivers will be destroyed and a piece of scorched earth will be restored, but we don’t know what year or month it will take to recover.”
During the argument, the truth became more and more clear. When he saw this, Pei Xiaoer said: "Then the situation is clear. Those officials can't kill them all, but they can't just let them go. Let's do this, Zhong Fang, you
Orders were issued in the name of the military government for these officials to put down the rebellion, and these officials were divided into four levels based on their merits.
The non-excellent ones are divided into excellent and medium-level people, and the number of people in each level is roughly the same. Among them, those who are excellent can be promoted to officials. County magistrates can be promoted to prefects, and prefects can be promoted to chief envoys, inspectors, and other positions. Those who are rated poor will be promoted to posts.
To deal with it, the magistrate will be the county magistrate, and the county magistrate will be the magistrate, the county magistrate, removal from office, imprisonment, etc.;
As for those who are rated as good, those who are rated as good will be transferred to important states and counties, and those who are rated as good will be transferred to remote and small counties."
Liu Xianchun's eyes lit up, and he nodded yes. In fact, it's not that there was no official assessment in the Ming Dynasty, but it has always been there since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang. It is called Jingcha in Beijing and kaoman outside. Generally, it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Service Examination Department and the Supervisory Office.
However, after more than 200 years of operation in the Ming Dynasty, the assessment in the Ming Dynasty has long become a mere formality and a tool for party unity and opposition.
Nowadays, the Pei family army is generally considered a relatively young force. Under Pei Xiaoer's precautions, most people have not been infected by the habits of the Ming Dynasty officialdom or the bandit spirit among the bandits and chaos.
'Simple and innocent'.
Furthermore, unlike the wealthy Ming Dynasty, the Pei family's territory was limited to a corner of Sichuan. There were only a few state capitals and magistrates in Sichuan. Pei Xiaoer was confident that under his personal supervision, there was no
People dare to play tricks on this.
"Yes." Liu Xianchun agreed, and then asked, "General, the assessment is in line with God's will and the people's support, but it is a good method. It's just that the officials at the county magistrate level are either promoted or demoted, and there are a lot of them.
, I’m afraid there won’t be that many famous people to fill the vacancies all of a sudden.”
"This is an easy matter." Pei Xiaoer said easily, "Over there, all county magistrates, county magistrates, county officials, and officials at lower levels will be included in the assessment, and those who have meritorious service will be selected and promoted to county magistrates."
"Ah!" Liu Xianchun never expected that the plan given by Pei Xiaoer would be like this. County magistrates and magistrates, that's all. After all, he was also from the imperial examination, he was an assistant to the county magistrate, and he could be regarded as a saint's disciple. It's just that group of officials
What are the members of the Communist Party of China? They are just a group of lowly households. What qualifications do they have to be promoted to the position of chief official of a county? Doesn't this mean that they are blocking the path of disciples of saints all over the world?
If word spreads, I am afraid that the Pei family army will completely offend the world's scholars. Then they want to conquer the world, but they don't know that it will be thousands of times more difficult than now?
"General, I'm afraid we need to consider the matter of promoting officials to official positions in the long run." Liu Xianchun said everything on his mind, but Pei Xiaoer gradually became silent.
In Pei Xiaoer's concept, officials are one entity regardless of family. Now that his identity has been changed, he is actually an inconspicuous official in the county government. Now someone suddenly told him that among officials,
