Chapter 182 Pang Tong's Decision
At the same time, in a courtyard in the house, Pang Tong looked at the little boy in front of him in surprise and asked, "Is he really looking for me?"
"Yes, he didn't go to see Mr. Qiao, but asked to see the prince." The little sw said respectfully.
"Well, I know. I'll go now." Pang Tong was a little surprised when he dismissed the boy. In his opinion, Liu Qi should have come for Mr. Qiao this time, but now it seems that this is not the case. At least it is not because of Mr. Qiao, otherwise Liu Qi will not see or see Mr. Qiao.
"Forget it, let's meet him. What's strange about Liu Qi?" On the way back to Xiangyang, he had heard a lot about Liu Qi and was also a little curious about Liu Qi. Thinking of Pang Tong getting up and going to the hall, he soon came to inquire and happened to hear the conversation between Liu Qi.
"Lao Pang, don't worry, my nephew will definitely use it for me."
Pang Tong was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Is the eldest son talking about me?"
Liu Qi, who was above the hall, turned her head and saw a young man striding forward. Although several ordinary people were ordinary people who were lost in the crowd, the momentum under his body was not weak at all. At this time, the young man was standing with a smile.
"Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, I miss you very much." Liu Qi got up with a smile and saluted.
"I've met the eldest son."
"I've met my uncle."
Pang Tong saluted the two of them.
"Let's talk about it. I'll take a break first." Pang De waved his hand and asked Pang Tong to get up and leave the hall, leaving space for the two.
"Please." After Pang Degong left, Liu Qi invited Pang Tong to take a seat.
Pang Tong looked at Liu Qi in surprise. This was his house. He should have invited guests to sit down. He didn't expect Liu Qi to be so informal.
"Ha ha, big son, please." Pang Tong did not refuse to sit opposite Liu Qi.
The two sat down one after another and looked at each other. Obviously, they had heard of each other.
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Wolong Fengchio can be safe in the world. I saw Fengchio today. I don't think I will be disappointed, but I don't know what the Wolong is."
"The eldest son laughed. The eldest son has done so many amazing things in a few months, which is also very admirable." Pang Tong said with a smile. Only after he returned to Xiangyang did he know that the Cai family, who had just returned to Xiangyang for a few days, could not raise their heads.
"Ha ha, I don't hide that I came here this time to ask Shi Yuan to help me." Liu Qi did not hide it directly. It's not good to be too pretentious for people like Pang Tong.
"Oh." Pang Tong looked at Liu Qi in surprise. He didn't expect that Liu Qi would call her Shi Yuan directly when she met for the first time. He didn't expect Liu Qi to come straight to the point and said with a smile, "It's an honor for Mr. Pang to let the eldest son come to recruit in person."
"Shi Yuan wondered why I was so honest?" Liu Qi looked at Pang Tongdao.
"Yes, I really have some doubts about the eldest son's frankness." Pang Tong did not hide it.
"That's because we are all unwilling to be lonely. Shiyuan just wants to show his strengths and realize his ambitions. Although Shiyuan is famous, no one knows how much talent you have, but I know, so only I can give you what you want." Liu Qi looked at Pang Tongdao.
"Oh." Pang Tong smiled and said nothing. He did not say anything about Liu Qi's words. Although he was a little surprised by what Liu Qi said, he did not fully believe what Liu Qi said.
"Shi Yuan is wondering why I said so?" Seeing Pang Tong's expression, Liu Qi smiled and said, "Today's situation in the world is getting clear. More and more people have chosen the lord for themselves. Isn't Shi Yuan just looking for a person who can give full play to his talents? Although I'm not a master, I dare to use you? Do the others dare?"
"Then I don't know how the eldest son is going to use me?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Qi with a smile.
"Five thousand elite soldiers, a general, is that OK?" Liu Qi smiled.
"Uh?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Qi in surprise. He thought that Liu Qi would say tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, or about appointing his military and political power. He didn't expect that Liu Qi gave him so little, but thinking about it, he was just a little famous but had no experience. It was enough to give so much.
"I speak with military merit, and no one will convince you if I give you too much. I think these 5,000 soldiers and horses are enough for you. As for the general, it depends on your ability." Liu Qi looked at Pang Tongdao.
"This..." Pang Tong looked at Liu Qi and didn't say anything. The conditions offered by Liu Qi were indeed very generous. With these Pang Tong's confidence, he would make military achievements in a short time and win the trust of others, but these were not enough for him to follow Liu Qi from now on.
Pang Tong looked at Liu Qi and said, "Do you have the capital to let me work for you?"
Since Liu Qi has made the case, he doesn't have to worry too much and directly raised his own questions.
"Ha ha, I have known for a long time that Shi Yuan would definitely ask this. Now I won't say anything about the situation in Jingzhou. Xiangyang has hundreds of thousands of soldiers with sufficient food and grass and good armaments. Of course, these are not my credit. I'm just ready-made. Then let's talk about what Xiangyang doesn't have now. Liu Qi smiled and said, "Does Shi Yuan know Hua Tuo?"
"The magic doctor Hua Tuo naturally knows." Pang Tong nodded.
"He is now in my house. I promised him to build nearly a hundred medical schools for him, just like a college. The dean of his first medical school will invite famous doctors in the world to sort out the existing medicine into books and give it to those students in the medical school, and then these students will serve as deans one after another. In such a cycle, I know that I can open nearly a hundred medical schools. During this period, the medical school must send students to treat the wounded, set up a military doctor position in the army, and set up a certain official position to treat injured soldiers. Liu Qi said slowly.
"Hmm?" A wisp of light flashed in Pang Tong's eyes. It was the first time he had heard of setting up an official position for the doctor who accompanied the army, but this could indeed treat the wounded in time and avoid death due to delayed treatment. Although there are also doctors in the army now, their status is low and the number is very small, and there is no time to treat injured soldiers. Liu Qi's establishment of a medical school can naturally train more doctors and treat more soldiers.
"In addition, Shiyuan should know why the world is in chaos. Although the emperor is mediocre on the other hand, it is also a hidden danger that the power of the courtiers is too huge. I am ready to reopen the official system." Liu Qi came with a strong medicine. It is not so simple to reopen the official system. It involves all aspects and must be considered carefully.
"I don't know what good ideas the eldest son has?" Pang Tong couldn't help asking.
"It's just an idea, and Shiyuan needs to correct it. Naturally, the three princes and the prime minister will not change, but some functions need to be changed. If the three princes and the prime minister have too much power, it will inevitably breed different intentions. The prime minister assists the emperor to deal with government affairs, the lieutenant assists the emperor to deal with military affairs, the master is in charge of the world's finance, and the master is in charge of the world's criminal affairs. There are no nine ministers under the three public officials, but there are nine departments. The nine parts are the Ministry of Ceremonies, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Supervision. The nine departments have set up Shangshu, and the status of the nine ministers and the three public are equal. Liu Qi thought for a moment and said that these were improved by him in combination with the official positions of later generations. Although it seems that they are no different from Sangong Jiuqing, theirs can only be changed.
"This looks no different from Sangong Jiuqing?" Pang Tong said doubtfully.
"No, officials are all divided by grade, from one grade to nine grades of eighteen levels, each of which does not affect each other." Liu Qi said.
The supply level to divide the size of official positions was not systematically divided until the Tang Dynasty. Although there was such a division before, it was not clear. There was no such division in the Han Dynasty.
"On this basis, the Zizheng Pavilion is set up. There are 15 cabinet members of the same as the three public ranks. Only the emperor can be dismissed. These cabinet members help the emperor deal with government affairs. If officials feel that there is anything improperly handled, they can respond to the emperor or the supervision department. If more than half of the cabinet members do not agree, then This resolution cannot be implemented and must be decided by the Son of Heaven. Moreover, the appointment and removal of officials above the five grades must be witnessed by the emperor before it can be implemented. Liu Qi said so much in one breath, grabbed the teacup on the table and drank it all, and then looked up at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong looked at Liu Qi unexpectedly at this time. Although these have changed a little, the effect is indeed conceivable. At that time, the power of the emperor will inevitably increase greatly.
"As for the military system, it is not easy to say in detail, but it is certain that the fiefdom of the princes must be abolished and replaced with regular distribution of salaries. That is to say, people with titles can be passed down from generation to generation, but they can only have salaries, not fiefdoms, and marquises and princes can't have military power. Liu Qi said in a low voice.
Hearing Liu Qi's words, Pang Tong finally changed his face. Since ancient times, there have been countless princes and agance of soldiers. Although Liu Qi can completely eliminate this problem in this way, it is really difficult to implement. Without a fiefdom, the title can only be a symbol. At this time, even he couldn't help mentioning that Liu Qi was worried that there would be a lot of resistance to the implementation of such a military system.
"Of course, these are just a prototype. There is still a long way to go from the specific implementation, but if you can't unify the world, these are all fantasy." In fact, Liu Qi also wanted to say that he wanted to establish a military academy, but he still didn't say anything after thinking about it.
"Today's troubled times are a good time to make contributions. It is difficult for me to implement these policies alone, and I still need the help of Shiyuan." Liu Qi saluted Pang Tong.
"This..." It was a little difficult to make a decision between Pang's unification. Liu Qi's conditions and ideas made him excited. There were very few people in the whole world who could have such insight as Liu Qi, but after a conversation, he was a little hesitant to work for Liu Qi.
"That's all. If it doesn't work, just leave in the future." Pang Tong sighed that he really didn't want to miss this opportunity.
