“You’re talking about Zhan Xingchang, the Sima of Qingzhou?”
Xiao Ming had some impression of this person. He had been recommended by Pang Yukun and later appointed as the Sima in the Qingzhou government office.
The position of Sima in the Great Yu Empire was relatively minor, roughly equivalent to a modern-day city mayor’s secretary.
“Yes, yes, I think his name is Zhan Xingchang,” Medical Officer Sun seemed to recall.
Currently, among Xiao Ming’s advisors, Pang Yukun was his top civil official, Lu Fei his top military officer, and Li Kaiyuan his top merchant. Beyond these, he truly lacked capable individuals.
In the past, when he hadn’t been involved in governance, he hadn’t noticed this. But now that he needed capable people, he found himself short-handed.
Although Pang Yukun was competent, his abilities were limited. He couldn’t handle everything.
Moreover, Pang Yukun excelled in logistics. He was adept at managing horse administration, agricultural production, and infrastructure construction. However, when it came to handling special events, he often found himself at a loss.
In essence, Pang Yukun was similar to a figure like Xiao He—highly skilled in administrative affairs but not suited to be a strategic advisor.
Simply put, Pang Yukun was somewhat rigid and lacked finesse in political maneuvering.
Almost every scheme against the noble clans had been planned by Xiao Ming alone, with Pang Yukun offering little assistance.
