Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Your Majesty, what I said is true. This Tian Meng is around forty years old and in good health. I have seen this man many times. Although I said that I don't have much communication with him, I actually think he is a talent." Fang Fang Xuanling said bluntly.

"No, why is he a talent? You said it yourself. You don't communicate much with him. This is a talent? He just helps me deal with the things around me. You let him become an official?" Li Keren You are so stupid, you said that you have never seen him, so you think he can be an official?

"Isn't Huo Shangshu doing a good job?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Li Ke: "..."

Isn't there an inevitable connection between the two?Oh, A is doing a good job by my side, so you deduce that B by my side must also be a talent?What kind of arbitrary inference are you making?

If Cheng Yaojin said that, Li Ke would still understand. After all, when Cheng Yaojin didn't want his brain, he just threw it away.

The problem is that this is Fang Xuanling!

Among the ministers in the entire Tang Dynasty so far, how many people dare to say that their brains are easier to use than Fang Xuanling?

"No, Zheng Guogong, don't you hate him?" Li Ke looked at Wei Zheng, who was beside him with an old god, and was speechless.

"Eh? What does this have to do with the minister?" Wei Zheng looked at Li Ke with a confused expression on his face.

"Let me teach you this? Isn't it child's play to impeach Fang Xuanling? How can you let a person become a third-rank official without knowing him at all? Isn't this delaying state affairs?" Li Ke looked at Wei Zheng Open the mouth directly.

If the place where Xue Yantuo is located is a prefecture, it must be at the level of the middle governor, and it belongs to the third-rank official in the Tang Dynasty.

It may even be a second-rank senior member.Of course, this depends on how the future official position is adjusted.

For example, in the current Tang Dynasty, the seven prefectures including Jingzhao, Henan, and Taiyuan, the governor, the governor, and the guardian are all second-rank local officials with real power.

However, there is a high probability that this level will be reformed in the future. According to what has been discussed so far, the highest official position in the Tang Dynasty in the future should be the third rank.

"Oh, Your Majesty impeached Liang Guogong." Wei Zheng turned around and bowed to salute.

"Okay, impeachment or impeachment, there should be a reason for Fang Qing to speak, and you don't use the excuse just now, just say it if you have any reason." Li Shimin waved his hand.

Li Ke: "..."

"Yes, I'll just say it straight, but it's actually simple, because Tian Meng has always been His Highness's housekeeper, and he has full authority to handle all the properties and things around His Highness. His Highness founded Yuelai Firm, an inn, a shopping mall, etc. The scale of the industry is not too much concealed by His Highness now."

"In addition to the large scale of these industries, as well as the previous Datang Industrial Zone, so many factories under the name of His Highness, including the maintenance of Chang'an City, the construction of the Datang Everbright City, etc., are almost all handled by Tian Meng. So many things are handled in an orderly manner, and he has been by His Highness's side all the time, that ability is beyond doubt."

"To be honest, regarding the industries around His Highness, even if you find a third-rank official Shangshu to deal with them, it may not be able to handle them properly."

"But Tian Meng has always been able to handle it perfectly, and has been with His Highness for so many years, and can perfectly understand His Highness's thoughts. If it is to deal with Xue Yantuo's matter, I think this is the most suitable person. In fact, the people around His Highness There are still a lot of talents." Fang Xuanling said solemnly.

"Well, it makes sense." Li Shimin thought for a moment, then nodded.

"No, everything makes sense. If I let him go, who am I going to use?" Li Ke was stunned. Tian Meng must be capable. If he is not capable, he can't handle this mess. The problem is that Tian Meng leaves. Now, where will Li Ke find such a caring person.

"Your Highness, from what you said, it is definitely impossible for Tian Meng to handle such a big mess by himself. He must have many assistants. You can choose one of his deputies to be reappointed as the housekeeper. ?” Fang Xuanling asked directly.

Li Ke; "..."

"Li Ke, what do you think? Now you also know that Xue Yantuo's affairs here are very important. It is really not easy to transfer people from other places, not to mention easy. If you can't achieve your goal, It may affect Datang’s next strategy.”

"Since Datang wants to reform, it is natural to select talents in an eclectic manner, not to mention that he has also proved his ability." Li Shimin looked at Li Ke and said directly.

Li Ke: "..."

"Okay, what else can I say." Li Ke was a little speechless, but he really didn't have a good candidate, because people who went to Xue Yantuo had to do practical things.

Moreover, Tian Meng can indeed understand some arrangements made by Li Ke. In this case, Xue Yantuo can enter the state faster.

"Okay, Wei Zheng drafted it, and named Tian Meng under Li Ke's command as the governor of the Hanhai Prefecture to be established, and is fully responsible for all matters in the Hanhai Prefecture." Li Shimin waved his hand directly.

"Yes." Wei Zheng agreed simply, and didn't think it was outrageous at all.

"Okay, since Hanhai Prefecture is going to be established here, then Datang's Daozhou reform should also be carried out by the way." Li Ke thought for a while.

"These aspects have already been prepared. It is nothing more than changing an administrative level and re-dividing local officials. In addition, it is enough to revoke some command organizations of the Tao." Fang Xuanling said immediately.

Withdrawal of the road and establishment of the state, with the state as the highest local administrative unit, in fact, the state is the province of later generations.

The reason why later generations called provinces is because provinces were the name after the decentralization of provincial powers under the ancient system of three provinces and six ministries. Later, the management agencies of local administrative divisions were gradually called provinces.

But now the three provinces of the Tang Dynasty are still in a very important position, so they use the name of the state since ancient times. The state is actually the same as the province of later generations.

Strictly speaking, the Tao of Datang is not a complete administrative unit. A Tao of Datang belongs to the division of a supervisory area. The highest local administrative unit of Datang has always been the prefecture.

But now that the reform of the three provinces and six ministries comes with the supervisory committee belonging to Shangshu Province, and it has its own branches in the local states, then there is no need for this supervisory area to exist, and it is a matter of course to abolish it.

As for the division of the local states, this is rather simple. Li Ke can just copy the division of the provinces of later generations, but just change the provinces into states.

"Okay, I will hand over some divided administrative agencies to you at that time, you discuss it, and then implement it." Li Ke waved his hand.

The division of administrative divisions in China is very interesting. It is not like the old beauty of later generations. It is horizontal and vertical. The division of provinces in the country, even with rivers and mountains as the boundary, you will find that there is me in you and me. There is your way of dividing.

Take Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces in later generations as examples. You can find that part of the east of the Yellow River belongs to Shaanxi, and part of the west of the Yellow River belongs to Shan.
