Chapter 997

Xuchang was renamed Xudu for some time, which was the name of Liu Xie, the emperor of Han Dynasty, temporarily changed by Cao Cao.

Just like many cities, no matter how magnificent they were before, they have become dilapidated after the ravages of hooligans, and some cities have simply become wastelands with ruins in large pastures.

"There is also a palace foundation in the city." Sang Yu strolled around Xuchang City: "the local government was unable to remove the foundation and built a fence around it."

It means that there used to be a palace city. Without special instructions, the county magistrate of Xuchang didn't dare to move. Not only did he not build a government office on the former site of the palace city, but also he didn't settle the people.

Zhuxia has a long history. It is hard to say during the Xia and Shang Dynasties. After the Zhou Dynasty was enfeoffed, in fact, the cities that had just begun to be built could be regarded as capitals. Only the princes had the resources and labor to build cities, and the rest were in the form of villages.

The three thousand princes who were enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty fought for annexation. The former princes' capital became an ordinary city, but the cities that can be used as the capital became bigger and bigger, and the walls became higher and thicker, which looked more and more magnificent.

In the world of great strife, it is common for all countries to move their capitals. For example, the state of Chu, which has always been the most extensive territory in the Warring States period, moved its capital seven times.

The history is too long, and there are many long separatist regimes. In fact, there are not a few cities that used to be the capital of one separatist regime.

In today's Han Empire, Jiankang, with the largest population, is the capital of a generation. Linzi was once the capital. The rest, such as Xiangguo, Yecheng, cheng1du, guzang and Shengle, were once regarded as the capital or accompanying capital, so there was a complete urban defense and related foundation.

As the capital city, the more time it takes, the more details will be left. Like Yecheng, which was built by Shi Hu with great efforts, although her political status in the Han Empire is not high, she can definitely rank in the top five in terms of the perfection of the city and the scale of land occupation.

Xuchang was the capital more than two hundred and sixty years ago. Not to mention that she had not been the capital for a long time. In fact, after Cao Wei moved the political center to Yecheng, she declined at a very fast speed.

The national road from Jiankang to Chang'an is to Tongguan, and there is another national road to the northeast.

Chang'an, as the center of the country, although its geographical location is not in the center, with cross national roads, it can ignore its location, whether from the political level or other aspects, and truly become the heart of the country.

Liu Yan didn't care about anything in Xuchang city. He didn't even have time to think about what significance Xuchang had brought to the nation or what role he would play in the future.

The main purpose of this tour is to make a show. For example, talking about filial piety after camping is one of them.

What happens will be transmitted through various channels, may become many versions of stories, and may also produce allusions to increase the spiritual wealth of the nation.

There may be risks in advocating other spirits, but there will be no risk in encouraging filial piety. That is, some stories created are too exaggerated.

Liu Yan is not very serious. It is good to achieve the goal advocated.

The world simply can't afford to be serious. Once serious, no one will be comfortable. For example, Yu Yi went to check the slave camp.

They will stop at Xuchang. There is a camp here to close up the slaves who built roads. The number is 120000.

The national highway has been put into use, but it is still very far from the completion of the real construction. The section from Xuchang to Ruyin is available, but it is said that there is not even 20% of the construction process.

"It is also a big project to castrate only the slaves on the Shaofu register." Yu Yi said with a wry smile, "how to arrange castration in batches is a fine job."

Going on a tour is one of the things that must be done to understand the local actual situation and investigate the people's livelihood. The next thing is to picket against lawlessness.

Before, as a Tingwei, Yu Yi took at least three months to go to the place in person every year. He basically didn't leave empty every time he went out. He checked the illegal officials in the countryside without lowering his identity. The officials arrested were above the county level. If he could catch a prefect, he could be said to have gained a lot.

This time, the Ministry of punishment got the relevant authority to picket the Shaofu. Yu Yi was eager by many colleagues and only had to stare at it every millimeter with a microscope.

Shaofu is the private property of the emperor, not only the officials, property and resources... Anyway, it is all the private property of the emperor. It is a department that belongs to the state, but can not be interfered by the three provinces and six ministries.

Officials from the three provinces and six ministries regard the Shaofu as their biggest competitor. This time, the emperor finally opened his mouth. They didn't have a whim to kill the Shaofu, but no one would miss the opportunity to find more mistakes from the Shaofu.

For a department with exaggerated resources, many functions overlap with the three provinces and six ministries, which is equivalent to a competitive relationship between the Shaofu and the three provinces and six ministries. However, the serious state department can never suppress the Shaofu in competition.

The Shaofu in the Qin Empire was a terrible department. If Zhang Han just liberated the criminals in Lishan, he could pull out more than 400000 young people under the Shaofu's name. He could arm more than 400000 people without opening the Taiwei's arsenal.

Shaofu in the Western Han Dynasty was dispensable at the beginning, but it was strengthened again and again in the Liu Che period. How strong is it? It will not be difficult to arm an army of 500000 people with the staff and related slaves on the roster, weapons and food in the Treasury.

At present, the Shaofu of the Han Empire has nearly 800000 employees on the roster and nearly five million slaves.

If there are only a large number of people, it is nothing. The most terrible thing is that there are at least 200 more weapon workshops under the Shaofu's name than the Ministry of work. Even the Shaofu almost controls the manufacture of firearms.

In terms of arms, just controlling the manufacture of firearms is equivalent to strangling the neck of the military, not to mention the control of non military supplies. Simply speaking, there are seven Ocean Trading fleets under the command of the Shaofu. The smallest fleet has more than 200 ships, and the largest one is close to 1000.

The three provinces and six ministries competed with the Shaofu for their functions. As for how many fleets the emperor placed in the Shaofu, no one shouted what to compete for profits with the people.

The fact is that not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries get rich behind the emperor, but also the people get rich behind the emperor.

It is a very reasonable way to make a fortune that the emperor eats meat, senior officials and dignitaries chew bone and meat, and the people drink soup.

The reason why the three provinces and six departments compete with the Shaofu is that the Shaofu does not seek personal interests for the emperor. If the Shaofu only seeks self-interest for the emperor, it will be too late for them to be happy. It's the Shaofu who has done better than them in the same field. In that case, it's necessary to set up relevant departments in three provinces and six ministries. What are they doing!

The castration of slaves this time is definitely not one-time castration, but must be carried out in batches.

Shaofu is the most slave department and the private property of the emperor, so it is best to castrate from Shaofu. First, it can set an example for everyone. The emperor's slaves have been castrated. What else can others say. Second, there are so many slaves in Shaofu. The castration personnel can change from unfamiliar to familiar. Even if they practice to kill a large number of slaves, it is completely regarded as accumulating technical experience.

"The servant knows what they are up to."

Zhang Shi's claim to Liu Yan is "servant", which is different from other people's claim to be "minister". The Shaofu order is indeed the emperor's private servant, a family minister who can be ranked in the imperial class.

Liu Yan also knows.

It is nothing more than that the main labor force of Shaofu is slaves. The slave castrated, even if he didn't die, he couldn't work for a while. In this gap period, the three provinces and six ministries will make every effort to fill the gap.

"The Shaofu managed by a servant is a department with a matrix organizational structure. How can that happen?" Zhang Shi said with a smile, "they have been competing with the servants. The competition is so fierce. Haven't they figured it out?"

The so-called matrix organizational structure, also known as planning target structure, combines the departments divided by functions and the departments divided by products (or projects, services, etc.) to form a matrix. It is a structure in which the same employee not only maintains organizational and business ties with the original functional departments, but also participates in the work of the product or project team.

This is not created by Liu Yan. In fact, the three provinces and six departments are matrix ancestral structure.

The three provinces and six departments were founded only in the Sui Dynasty, waiting for Li Tang to improve. Before that, the Western Jin Dynasty implemented the nine grade Zhongzheng system, which was actually the predecessor of the three provinces and six departments.

To some extent, the nine grade Zhongzheng system in the Western Jin Dynasty only improved the three Gong and nine Qing system. In short, it was at the time of the alternation of the new and the old.

The three princes and nine princes system is a linear organizational structure. Although the Han Empire has abandoned the three princes and nine princes system and directly entered the three provinces and six departments system, the three provinces and six departments are also linear organizational structure. The courtiers may have found some differences in the Shaofu, but no one really knows what a linear organizational structure is and what a matrix organizational structure is.

All officials think that the Shaofu has many resources, but they don't see that the management mode is the key.

Similarly, to master those resources, there must be differences in the efficiency under different management modes, and then there is an obvious gap in efficiency output.

Liu Yan knows all kinds of management modes, but he only knows them. He is not a senior executive. He has no practical operation and management experience. He can take the Shaofu to carry out his own experiment, and give priority to national departments.

Waiting for the Shaofu to sort out a set of feasible matrix organizational structure one day, Liu Yan will try to reform the three provinces and six ministries, or the kind of slow reform.

After all, no matter how advanced the management system is, it may cause more harm than the rigid system if it gets the wrong place or operates by different people.

Liu Yan said nothing about Zhang Shi's complacency.

Shaofu just wants to adopt the mode of batch rotation. As long as the planning is appropriate, the impact of castration will be, but it is definitely not as exaggerated as all officials think.

"Castration..." Liu Yan looked at the wilderness without expression. There was no fluctuation in the sound line: "maybe it may bring more medical branches to the world..."

Any kind of science is based on sufficient experience accumulation, and the same is true of medicine.

After castration, should we think about some hemostasis, and then conduct relevant tests on the drugs. Maybe we try to think that we should make a drug with anesthetic effect. With anesthetic drugs, we will find that the object undergoing surgery will lose the sense of pain. Since there are hemostasis and anesthesia methods, do we want to try to open the belly.

That process is like planting a sapling. It grows slowly. The trunk grows branches, which continue to extend, and then full of branches and leaves.

How did modern medicine come from? It is based on countless experiments.

Then why did World War I and World War II lay the thickest foundation for modern medicine? It is because the war has produced countless casualties, as well as various inhumane studies that are unknown or already known in the context of the war.

They have left Xuchang for four days, and the distance from Jiankang is only about three days.

When passing through Huainan County, Liu Yan deliberately went to Bagong mountain.

Standing on the back of Bagong mountain, Liu Yan looked at Feishui. If history had not been changed, the land under his feet would become a huge military camp in 383. The army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was mainly based here, facing the overwhelming Fu Jian army on the other side of the river.

"Anshi." Liu Yan turned to look at Xie an standing on the side and asked, "if you command 80000 troops to meet 800000 troops from the North...", he said the forces of the enemy and us in the Feishui war and the relevant background again, and then asked: "how to meet?"

Xie'an was stunned.

During the Han Kingdom, the Han Army also competed with the Eastern Jin army in this place. The background was that the Han army went south to fight for reunification, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty made every effort to resist.

At that time, Xu Zheng was in command of the Han Army, which numbered 120000.

At that time, the commander of the Eastern Jin army was Chu Li. The regular army seemed to be 50000, but there were 160000 private troops from various families to help.

In Xie an's memory, the main battlefield of that war was not Huainan. It was clearly that the Han army came with the momentum of Mount Tai. Chu Li didn't know what consideration it was that he took the lead in crossing the river and arranged the main force in Ruyin county. The war in Huainan county was not very fierce.

These people who came from the gate valve of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will more or less study the battle of unification. Without exception, they secretly scold Chu Liqi for being as stupid as a pig. How can they choose to cross the river and deploy defense? If they deploy defense in the south of several water systems, the Han Army may be able to go south, but it will never be so simple.

"Your Majesty..." Xie an's cheeks twitched for a moment, and he still decided to take full strength to make a hypothesis: "the enemy is overwhelming, and there are no water troops available, so Bagong mountain should be the main camp..."

Liu Yan listened quietly and found that Xie an's layout was no different from "history"
