I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 498 Make Bingzhou the same as Youzhou

After Liu Jian was surrendered to the Black Mountain Army, his strength reached its peak.

The local governor of Bingzhou and all the prefects felt both admiration and fear for Liu Jian.

It's not that Liu Jian's army is too aggressive, but that he issued a rectification policy on officials in Bingzhou.

Because Bingzhou belongs to the border and has contact with foreign races, Liu Jian, the general of Fuyuan, has the right to assess all the officials in Bingzhou to ensure that he can confirm that these officials are indeed suitable for governing Bingzhou.

Only when all officials can really pass Liu Jian's assessment, will he keep these officials in office.

Liu Jian's original intention to formulate the assessment policy was indeed for the sake of Bingzhou.

The officials in the states and counties of the Han Dynasty did not all attach great importance to people's livelihood, and it can even be said that most of them were for the family's self-interest.

Especially in a border county like Bingzhou, Liu Jian, an official here, really knows it very well, because he grew up in the border county.

In order to obtain sufficient resources and benefits, the local officials colluded with the local clans to absorb resources and squeeze the bottom people.

There will be corrupt officials under any dynasty, and there is no way around it.

No matter how wise Liu Jian is.

But everything needs a bottom line.

At least, the officials cannot be allowed to harm the bottom people so that they cannot live normally!To cause huge social turmoil, this is absolutely not allowed for Liu Jian.

When Liu Jian was in Jizhou, he had established the Third Disciplinary Inspection Department, and the administrative assessment and supervision of local officials had reached an unprecedented height.

Now, he is going to move all this system to Bingzhou.

Of course, there is another main reason for rectifying Bingzhou officialdom.

When Liu Jian first occupied Bingzhou, he still didn't know whether these officials sincerely obeyed him. After rectifying the officials, he was able to make these officials in Bingzhou realize who they should listen to in the future.

To master Bingzhou, the first thing is to firmly control these officials, let them recognize themselves as masters, and serve themselves sincerely.

Of course, in addition to rectifying the officialdom in Bingzhou, Liu Jian also had to replace the prefects in the main areas and the governors responsible for coordinating the various counties with his confidants.

There are so many talents under Liu Jian, it is not difficult to choose a confidant who can govern the state and county.

The key is the selection of coordinators.

The governor of Jizhou, who is responsible for supervising all the prefects, must have a suitable candidate.

After some careful consideration, Liu Jian thought of someone.

On this day, Liu Jian found Guo Jia in front of him.

"My lord wants me to be the governor of Bingzhou?"

After hearing Liu Jian's reason for coming here, even Guo Jia, who is known for his calmness on weekdays, couldn't help being surprised.

"Exactly, don't you want to be the governor?"

Guo Jia seemed a little hesitant after hearing these words.

"Guo received the teachings of the lord in the past, and decided to learn everything from the lord in order to become a talent. Now that I have not completed my studies, the lord asked me to be the governor of a state. Isn't it a bit too hasty? Guo also thinks he has no This ability."

But Liu Jian shook his head: "Feng Xiao, this statement is wrong! The best way to learn...is to practice."

"Actually, you have been with me for so long, and you have heard so much from me. With your ingenuity, you must have some understanding of my strategy in Hebei and how to develop Bingzhou."

"However, it's useless to just listen to me about these things... You must personally serve as the governor, do a good job in overall planning, and exercise your abilities through practice."

"Just like Wen Ruo, Wen Ruo was not omnipotent from the beginning, but he has great potential. He dared and was willing to take over Youzhou to deal with foreign tribes and internal affairs. This kind of heavy responsibility that others cannot shoulder, Wen Ruo didn't refuse."

"Today's Bingzhou is the same as Youzhou back then. It is a place that needs to be managed by capable people."

"But I can also tell you that Bingzhou is still a place with great potential."

"The mineral resources in Bingzhou far exceed the two major mines I developed in Youzhou."

"However, the mining industry in Bingzhou will be exploited, and the distribution of benefits will be reached with the local noble families. At the same time, the refugees of the Baibo Army and the Black Mountain Army will be dealt with. A new household registration system will be established in Bingzhou. It's not easy."

"You have a successful example like Xun Wenruo in front of you, so you have to target him and reach his level. This is a lot of pressure."

"Of course, if you think you can't do it yourself, I will never force others to do it."

Hearing what Liu Jian said, Guo Jia couldn't help feeling excited.

Yes, what Liu Jian had in front of him now was a daunting task.

To accomplish this task is by no means an overnight effort, and it is even difficult every step of the way.

But as Liu Jian said, once Guo Jia manages Bingzhou to be similar to Youzhou, it proves that his abilities in all aspects have grown tremendously, and he is enough to be alone.

Bingzhou was a backward area in the Han Dynasty. There were Xiongnu in the territory and Xianbei in the north.

Moreover, it is a relatively poor place, and the folk customs are sturdy.

Of course, if Guo Jia is alone, it is still very difficult to achieve Liu Jian's goal.

No matter how capable he is, he has no resources in his hands, which is a difficult task.

But it was different with Liu Jian supporting him in the rear.

He just let go of his arms and went to work.

"Jia takes orders."

……

……

Therefore, in Bingzhou, Liu Jian imitated the governance plan in Youzhou and asked Guo Jia to stay in Bingzhou to take care of the overall situation for him.

Xun Yu is in Youzhou, and Guo Jia is in Bingzhou.

However, compared to when Xun Yu was just letting Xun Yu govern Youzhou, it is actually easier for Guo Jia to govern Bingzhou now than it was to govern Youzhou back then.

Because the economic strength and military strength that Hebei has now are incomparable when Xun Yu first arrived in Youzhou.

Especially in these years, Hebei Group has accumulated a lot of governance experience that can be used for reference.

As a result, the work of rectifying and merging the state began in full swing.

The first is to clean up the incompetent officials, and replace all those officials who are unpopular, rich in private pockets, and too oppressive to the local people, and replaced with Liu Jian's confidantes.

In order to enable the officials to better serve the entire Han Dynasty, Liu Jian formulated a set of performance appraisal methods for the management of the entire Hebei Province when he was in Jizhou.

This set of assessment methods includes some incentive policies and punishment measures for public officials in later generations, as well as some welfare benefits and management methods. Of course, they cannot all be copied. Instead, they also refer to the national conditions of the Han Dynasty for overall integration. Revise.

In order to maintain the rule of Bingzhou, the three states of Hebei began to transfuse blood to Bingzhou.

At the same time, the foreign tribes in the north who are now under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty also provided Bingzhou with cattle, sheep and horses according to their own conditions to develop Bingzhou's local animal husbandry.

In terms of farming, due to the experience of Jizhou, Youzhou, and Qingzhou, these big states, the merger of the states was relatively smooth, and the surrender of the Black Mountain Army and the Baibo Army provided Liu Jian with a large number of people.

These populations will all be resettled in Bingzhou.

Regardless of the fact that the Black Mountain Army and the Baibo Army provided Liu Jian with millions of people, the land in Bingzhou has been abandoned for too long. There are really too many barren fields here, because of the war in the border counties, or Because the population is hiding, or because the local population in Bingzhou is not large... In short, the land is really barren.

So everyone can be accommodated.

But in fact, although the local population of Bingzhou is small, Liu Jian knows that it will never be as small as it is on the books.

There are too many hidden populations of local prominent families, as well as black households hidden because of the war.

In order to dig deep into these hidden populations, Liu Jian set up some settlement and people's livelihood policies.

That is to completely abolish oral calculations and household registration, measure land at the same time, and vigorously encourage people to have children.

For the children born, the government will routinely provide subsidies according to the number of fetuses every year, and at the same time provide various resettlement benefits after the birth. This is a policy that Liu Jian has established as early as in Jizhou and Qingzhou, and the effect has been achieved over the years significantly.

In this way, not only many illegal households were identified, but also the birth rate of local babies in Hebei Province increased significantly.

Of course, in order to prevent those powerful and powerful families from using their own hidden population to casually settle down to obtain financial support from the government, Liu Jian also imposed a strict review policy on this system of hidden and black household registration.

And once registered, these former hermits will be strictly controlled and monitored by the government, and their residence will be designated, and the government will allocate farmland for them so that they have a new residence, completely out of the control of the original noble family.

Undoubtedly, the Hebei Chamber of Commerce and Trade will continue to accompany Liu Jian to settle in Bingzhou, and draw on the local power from poor families to check and balance the powerful families in Bingzhou.

Bingzhou is also a relatively special existence in the Han Dynasty, because it has always been on the edge of the earth and connected to the residences of the Qiang people and the Xianbei, so the local powerful and powerful families are more perverse on the surface than the famous families in the middle land.

For the prefects who have served as prefects in the counties of Bingzhou over the years, the famous families and powerful people in Bingzhou have never given them good looks, and have never been convinced.

Although Liu Jian is famous all over the world, if he forcibly changes the original rules of Bingzhou, the local prominent families will not tolerate it.

As a result, many people began to secretly lead troubles and resist the official policy.

Of course, Liu Jian will not show mercy when dealing with these people.

Rules are made by man, why can't your rules be changed?

Of course, it is a bit unrealistic for Liu Jian to kill all these people at once. After all, local construction also needs their follow-up support, but it is still necessary to catch a few typical companies and clean them up severely.

Let these ignorant guys know that from now on, who should have the final say on the northern border of the Han Dynasty!

Your rules that cannot be changed, I can change them at any time from now on.

There is only one rule here from now on, and that is my rule.

Among these families, the Wang family of Taiyuan was the most troublesome, the most powerful, and the most displeasing to Liu Jian.

Since we want to kill chickens and monkeys, we must kill a few big ones!

This Taiyuan Wang's size is the most suitable for fat and thin.
