Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 223 I have reserved a place for them in the center

Official positions were transferred.

This is what Li Chengqian is going to do this time.

The Tang Dynasty was not without such systems and measures.

However, this measure has not been effectively implemented and has encountered great resistance.

No one wants to leave the place where they have worked so hard to take root and govern.

This place has its own connections and its own influence.

Go somewhere else and you have to start all over again.

Who would like to go through so much trouble?

There are too many people with vested interests, so the implementation of this measure will face a lot of resistance.

"Your Highness."

"Do you want to transfer and swap them all at once?"

Changsun Wuji said excitedly: "This may cause great chaos in the area."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly.

He naturally understood the essence and key points of it.

But he didn't say anything now, waiting to see how the prince would respond.

Fang Xuanling was also frightened, "Your Highness, should we consider this matter in the long run?"

"After all, we have to consider the actual situation. Some places are rich, and some places are poor."

"If the chief officers were to switch places, there would definitely be resentment."

Wei Zheng also agreed, saying: "Let's replace a small amount first, this way it will be within a controllable range."

No wonder the prince didn’t mention this before.

If this gets out, the world will be in an uproar and it will cause a huge shock.

"It would be an overstatement to say that there is chaos in the area."

"Duke Liang's resentful words are also funny."

Li Chengqian said calmly: "Duke Zheng mentioned a small amount of replacement. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain."

He leaned forward slightly, looking at them with a dignified look, "All places have soldiers stationed to cultivate the land."

"Now that the chief officer has left, the place will be in chaos?"

"How dare the officers disobey the imperial order? They only care about themselves, not the imperial court, right?"

"Look, they are living comfortably in one place, and they are used to being bossed around, and they can't move away from their own nest."

"The court wants to transfer them to other places for appointments. Is there still room for bargaining?"

If the government troops have not yet deployed.

Li Chengqian wouldn't do that yet.

But now that the system of the local soldiers has been reformed, they are now spread all over the country, especially in Shandong and other places.

These soldiers are not self-sufficient and do not work out of their own pockets.

It was the imperial court that paid the military salaries and supported them.

Who do they listen to?

Of course, we have to obey the emperor.

Li Daozon's position as the Grand Commander of the Imperial Army is not for nothing.

"Your Highness, the main reason is that this matter involves too many people."

Chang Sun Wuji said: "Let alone other things, even if the chief officers are traveling and familiar with the local area, it will take a lot of time."

"Besides, what if someone arrives at a new position and becomes self-pitying and doesn't care about his job?"

Li Chengqian suddenly laughed and said, "Duke Zhao's words do remind me."

"It just so happens that if someone doesn't want to do anything, then let the lower-level officials be promoted."

Changsun Wuji's expression changed slightly.

In the officialdom, everyone has his own job.

This becomes more true the higher you go.

I don’t know how many officials below are waiting for positions to be made available so that they can take over.

Do nothing and don’t take care of things?
There are many people who want to do things and get promoted.

"There are many officials in the court who are very talented and capable."

"It's just that I lack some qualifications and local experience, so I can be sent out."

Li Chengqian said: "If you don't want to sit in the seat below your buttocks, then give others who want to sit there a chance."

"His Majesty."

"Should we order the Ministry of Personnel to conduct a selection process in the imperial court first, and draft a list of those who meet the requirements to be sent out as officials?"

"All officials sent out from the imperial court will be promoted to a higher position."

"In addition, we can also select the deputy governors of Daozhou and the chief officers of the governor's office as preparations?"

Li Chengqian never fights a battle without confidence.

Now that the decision has been made to transfer and exchange officials horizontally, corresponding preparations must be made.

The chief official of Daozhou opposed it, but the officials one level lower than them gave them hope of promotion, so they naturally knew what to do.

As I said, there are so many provinces and cities in the world, and there are countless officials who want to climb up, but if others don't move up, there will be no pit for themselves.

Officials in the court who seek promotion will be promoted one level and sent to other places.

Used for promotion of local officials.

They would rather someone do nothing and take their place.

The three of them were completely silenced.

Fang Xuanling wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Wei Zheng shook his head.

The prince's move of using the opponent's strength against him made countless officials watch covetously. Those officials who were transferred horizontally probably dared not say a word.

Who knows, this might even lead to a major struggle in official circles.

"What the Crown Prince said is quite right. There are many capable and talented people in the court who need more training and more experience."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Assistant, I'll leave this matter to you."

"It can also be regarded as a screening of the abilities of officials in the court. If there are hidden talents, they can be employed."

"As for local officials, we will start selecting from the county magistrate level."

He took the initiative to expand the range of candidates.

There are many officials at the level of county magistrate in the world. It would be strange if they said they had no ambition to move up.

This is the case of a single move affecting the entire body.

Transfers at the top often mean opportunities for those below.

Especially when someone dismounts.

The governor of a lower province wanted to be the governor of a middle province, and the governor of a middle province wanted to be the governor of a higher province. A promotion meant a leap in one's official rank and a rise in rank.

In the future, your chances of going to the central government will be greater, and it will also be easier to get a number with the emperor.

"I obey your order." Changsun Wuji had no choice but to respond.

Li Chengqian said: "Those who are currently present know about this matter."

"I don't want anyone else to hear this, and I don't want to hear any rumors outside."

He was warning the people present.

If anyone dares to spread it and cause a stir in the local area, don't blame him for being rude.

"The prince is right. This matter is of great importance and must not be spread outside." Li Shimin also said seriously.

"Yes!"

"I'm waiting to retire."

After everyone left, Li Shimin was about to take a rest, but suddenly he thought of something and ordered someone to bring the map.

"Paper and pen!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Ananda didn't know what to do. He just watched His Majesty stepping on the map, squatting there for a while, then squatting there for a while, writing and drawing.

It was only after Li Shimin was tired that Zhang Ananda skimmed through the contents on the paper.

The governor of a certain state was exchanged with the governor of another state.

He quickly looked away and lowered his head, pretending he saw nothing.

……

"Your Highness, this is too hasty."

Wei Zheng took a deep breath. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. So he decided to go and talk to the prince.

"Master Wei should also understand the harm that can be caused when local officials become powerful, right?" Li Chengqian said with a faint smile.

"I know. That's why I'm a little worried."

Wei Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "The governors of various provinces in Shandong are basically located in places where clan power is intertwined."

"Officials transferred from other places may not get any good results and may even be sidelined."

"I'm afraid it will backfire."

Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Master Wei's worries are not unreasonable, but if we don't do it, it will only make things worse."

"With one stroke, it will be clear who is just a show-off and who has real talent and knowledge."

"If one person is not good enough and is sidelined, then someone else will take over. There will always be someone who can do it."

Wei Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, do you think Shandong and Jiangnan would be swapped?"

"No, I want the Shandong people to go to Jiannan."

"People from Jiangnan come to Guanzhong, and people from Jiannan go to Shandong."

Li Chengqian said lightly.

Wei Zheng felt his scalp tingling, and was very shocked, "Your Highness is determined to make great use of the Jiangnan gentry?"

"Whether to use it or not is up to me."

Li Chengqian said casually and glanced at Li Zhi, this guy is very well-behaved.

Because he had been criticized by Wei Zheng before.

They said that he did not know the rules of etiquette and acted rudely in front of the prince.

Li Zhi wanted to scold but didn't dare to, and finally he was very angry. Li Chengqian had to help Wei Zheng to coax him.

"Yes, thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord."

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that Your Highness would want to send officials from Jiannan to Shandong."

"They are no match for the Shandong family. I'm afraid they will suffer a lot. They have the position but no real power."

This is true. For officials from Jiannan to go to Shandong, it can be said that they are like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

The Shandong family has been cultivating that land for many generations.

It has long been deeply rooted and intertwined, and it is unknown how strong the clan's power is.

Countless officials at all levels are dependent on them.

But what Li Chengqian wanted was to break this situation.

"True gold needs to be refined by fire."

Li Chengqian said: "If Jiannan wants to take the top position, he must use his family's wealth to support others."

"I have reserved a place for them in the center."

Forehead!
Wei Zheng asked quietly: "What position?"

"Master Wei, why don't you take a guess?" Li Chengqian smiled mysteriously.

"Forget it. Your Highness, I cannot guess what you are thinking."

Wei Zheng shook his head nervously. He already believed that this matter would become very exciting.

Jiannan has a central position.

What else can be missing from Jiangnan?

Wei Zheng left shaking his head, and Li Zhi could not help but say: "This old dog has nothing to do after eating every day!"

"Still thinking about licking the family's groove."

Li Chengqian: "..."

Giving him a cold look, Li Zhi changed the subject and asked, "Brother, do you want the fight between the parties to be more intense?"

"In this way, the more fiercely they fight, the more they need Father and Brother Crown Prince."

"Zhi Nu, don't you think it's actually quite interesting that they bring money and manpower to develop and build a place?"

"Ah? Why? Are they so stupid?" Li Zhi didn't understand.

Li Chengqian lay down and dozed off, saying, "Wei Zheng and the others still haven't looked far enough."

"No matter what the aristocratic families are like, the basic base is there."

"Now there is an opportunity for them to extend their influence to other places. What do you think they will do?"

Li Zhi was stunned at first, then his eyes widened, "Brother..."

His voice was trembling.

"They will definitely find ways to support us in every possible way."

"What if we knew there was a place for them in the center?"

Li Zhi was full of admiration, but he soon thought of a problem, "But brother, there are only so many central positions, how can I possibly satisfy all of them?"

"Does it mean that other people should give up their seats?" His scalp tingled at the thought. If someone had to give up their seats, many people would be affected.

Li Chengqian opened his eyes at this time and said:

"Decentralization!"

"what?"
