Chapter 83 Rui Xue's Prosperous Year

The chief of the General of the East, Sima: 2,000 stones (originally one thousand), 800 mu of public land, 5,000 yuan a month, and 36 hu of rice.

The state is engaged in: one thousand stones (originally one hundred), six hundred mu of public land, four thousand dollars a month, and thirty-two hu of rice.

The county magistrate, the prime minister of the country: 2,000 stones (unchanged), 1,000 mu of public land, 6,000 yuan a month, and 40 hu of rice.

County magistrate, chief secretary, and chief lieutenant: one thousand stones (originally six hundred).

The county and state governments have: 600 stones (originally 300), 400 mu of public land, 3,400 yuan a month of money, and 28 hu of rice.

County Magistrate, Hou Guo Prime Minister: One thousand stones (unchanged).

The county magistrate, Wei, six hundred stones (originally four hundred).

County Magistrate: 600 stones (unchanged), the small county magistrate who cancels 400 stones.

The small county magistrate, Wei, four hundred stones (originally three hundred), three hundred mu of public land, three thousand acres of monthly money, and twenty hu of rice.

Other officials:

Two hundred stones: 200 acres of public land, 2,000 yuan a month, and 16 hu of rice.

One hundred stones: 150 acres of public land, 1,600 yuan a month, and 12 hu of rice.

The little official of fighting food: 100 acres of public land, 1,000 yuan a month, and 8 hu of rice.

After three days of research, Chen Fei finally came up with the reformed official system.

The previous chiefs, Sima, prefecture-employed, county-level officials, mostly generals, prefecture-governors, and prefects themselves recruited staff. The status and staff were temporary workers with the employment system. Most of them did not require approval from the court, so the treatment was generally low, which did not match the power they actually held - similar to the governor of 600 shi to supervise the prefect of 200 shi.

Therefore, Chen Fei comprehensively improved the official rank and treatment of these officials, and at the same time, compressed the originally very complicated and cumbersome ranks, such as temporarily abolishing the small county magistrates who were rated by 1, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100

In addition, he also began to promote the "official land" system. As long as he works under his command, public land will be distributed according to the level, thereby subsidizing officials' family income - the ownership of these public lands will always belong to the state.

Anyway, the population has dropped sharply now, and the amount of barren land needs is as much as it needs. Instead of being uncultivated, it is of course a good choice to win over the hearts of the rich.

Of course, the significant increase in the treatment of officials means that the financial pressure Chen Fei needs to bear also increases. According to previous estimates, after the official system reform, the salaries of officials increased by at least 30%!

Currently, Chen Fei controls six counties and states, a total of 110 counties and towns. The officials at all levels who serve under him are now close to 20,000, and they need to pay 30 million copper coins and 20,000 stones of grain every month!

In twelve months a year, this is 360 million copper coins and 240,000 stones of grain!

After thinking for a long time, Chen Fei finally decided to learn from most prefectures and counties, and the salaries of officials were mainly distributed.

Because, this era does not have the ability to cast so many copper coins!

On October 25, Xuzhou envoy Sun Qian arrived in Yangdi and conveyed his intention to form an alliance to Yuzhou on behalf of Liu Bei.

Sima Guo Jia from the East was engaged in the engagement with Xun You. Chen Fei only met him on the last day. After all, his identity is far higher than that of Liu Bei, who is living under someone else's roof, and it is not impossible to make a proper posture.

"I have always heard that Liu Envoy is a kind and righteous gentleman. I have always admired him very much, but unfortunately I have not been able to meet him for the time being. Gongyou will definitely convey my admiration for Liu Envoy."

While saying goodbye, Chen Fei said a few polite words.

Although he was a little insincere, Chen Fei's admiration for Liu Bei was not polite. In any case, in this troubled world, Liu Bei has always been the relatively benevolent and righteous prince, especially in this troubled world, such quality seems rare.

Sun Gan was also polite:

"Chen Yuzhou is a talented man. Wherever the troops arrive, the thieves are restrained. Like my lord, people-oriented, kind and kind, you can help you, and Xuzhou can be worry-free!"

Chen Fei then let go of his arm:

"You should pay attention to safety when you return to Xuzhou."

Sun Gan nodded and bowed:

"It's really touching to see Chen Yuzhou off for a trip. Please stop here, Sun Gan said goodbye."

Seeing him turn over and lead ten followers to leave slowly, Chen Fei also took his subordinates back to Yangdi.

Before they entered the chamber, snowflakes were scattered in the sky, and everyone immediately accelerated.

"It's snowing in Yingchuan too!"

Guo Jia rushed into the hall first, got straight to the brazier, and stretched out his hands to dispel the chill.

Chu Liang glanced at the snowflakes outside the house:

"Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. As long as there is no chaos next year, the five million people in Yuzhou can usher in another good harvest."

Guo Jia is not as optimistic as him:

"Next year... there will be war in the Central Plains. Cao Cao and Lu Bu have already reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, and it is impossible for them to be peaceful."

Xun You also said:

"Cao Cao used his father's revenge as an opportunity to conquer Xuzhou. He was determined to win. If Xuzhou was eventually occupied by Liu Bei, Cao Cao would be angry and would never give up. Therefore, once the king and the prince gave up an alliance, Liu Bei would definitely agree."

Chen Fei nodded:

"Liu Bei is indeed very anxious, otherwise he would not let us open our mouths."

Chen Qun looked at the negotiation results and shook his head:

"They are indeed very generous, five hundred thousand stones of rice, one hundred thousand stones of salt, and three thousand pieces of silk."

Tao Qian was also vigorously restoring agriculture in Xuzhou. Xuzhou is close to the sea and the sea salt industry is very developed. Of course, he had to take the opportunity to ask for a batch of strategic materials. Anyway... if we follow the historical trajectory, these things will only be lost in the chaos of Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. It would be better to be cheaper than Chen Fei.

Guo Jia bared:

"If we want to send troops to fight against powerful enemies, we can't just rely on a few sashimi, right?"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that he was still obsessed with Liu Bei’s food, everyone laughed.

At this time, the doorman walked in quickly:

"Report to the general, the envoy of Zhongmu County asked for his visit."

Liang Xia took the letter of worship and handed it to Chen Fei.

Chen Fei was still thinking:

"Where is Zhongmu County?"

Chu Liang replied:

"Zhongmu is a land in Henan, adjacent to Chenliu, and 80 miles east is Junyi County."

Chen Qunze added:

"Yang Yuan, the Zhongmu Order, is said to be a poor family from Jingzhou. He is diligent and loving the people. He has a reputation in Henan. Now that there is no one in charge in Henan, he is equivalent to half of the Henan Yin. Now he takes the initiative to send envoys to ask for a visit. Perhaps this is good news. The king and the prince may as well treat the envoys with kindness."

Although Chen Fei’s problem is a geographical issue, Chen Qun took the lead and reported more important information directly, and the level of the two was judged immediately.

Chen Fei nodded, and saw that the post read:

"The chief clerk of Zhongmu County, Ren Junboda."

Chen Fei recalled a little. He seemed to have an impression of the name, but it was not particularly clear. He finally gave up and raised his chin to the doorman:

"If you ask him to come in, you will not be rude."

But in a moment, Ren Jun stepped into the hall door. He just glanced in the direction of Chen Fei, and immediately bowed and bowed:

"Ren Jun pays homage to Chen Yuzhou!"

Chen Fei raised his right hand:

"There is no need to be a chief clerk, please take your seat."

Ren Jun thanked and sat half of his butt on the seat.

I heard Chen Fei ask:

"Zhongmu and Chenliu live next to each other, but unfortunately they don't often come and go. I wonder what is the important thing about Yang County Magistrate sent a chief clerk to see me?"

Ren Jun bowed:

"The current situation in the Central Plains has become corrupt. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan competed for Hebei, Cao Cao and Lu Bu to split Yanzhou, and Xuzhou was even more disintegrated. Only those who could manage the people were Liu Zhennan and Chen Zhengdong of Jingzhou. Although Henan was ruined, after all, the old capital of the Han Dynasty, Yang Jun served as the post of Zhongmu County Magistrate to serve in Henan. He heard that Chen Yuzhou governed the prefectures and counties with benevolence, and the people wanted to support millions. For the sake of the men and women of the twenty-one cities in Henan, they were willing to join the county."

Chen Fei glanced at Chen Qun, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

[I haven't recruited you yet, why do you have to submit to yourself?]
