"Very good!" Qi Xiaobai appreciated.

At this time, the craftsmen saw Qi Xiaobai coming in, and they fought harder, and the strong army should not only improve the military quality of the soldiers, but also improve the equipment!

Qi Xiaobai, under the leadership of Lu Yun, inspected the factory that built Dongyi Dao!

"Very well, when they are finished, I will give them a heavy reward!" Qi Xiaobai said to Lu Yun.

"I'm replacing all the craftsmen here, thank you!" Lu Yun gave Qi Xiaobai a salute, and Qi Xiaobai nodded.

After inspecting the work of this group of blacksmiths, Qi Xiaobai came to the office of the Ministry of Industry, and after Qi Xiaobai sat down, he looked at Lu Yun: "The arquebus I handed you a while ago, can you improve it?" ”

"Back to Gong, at present, I can only imitate this batch of arquebuses, and I can't improve it yet!" Lu Yun said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai nodded, in fact, he didn't have much hope, after all, the improvement of the arquebus is not something that can be completed in a while, it will take decades, or even a hundred years to have a qualitative improvement.

"Okay, you can study it well, if you can make this arquebus qualitatively improved, the range and loading have been improved, then our Qi army will be invincible in the next hundred years, and the attack will be invincible!" Qi Xiaobai said to Lu Yun.

"The minister will definitely do his best to study this arquebus, and strive to complete the improvement for the princess within a few years!" Lu Yun said to Qi Xiaobai.

"Alright, I should go back too!" Qi Xiaobai has been in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, it is almost evening at this time, Qi Xiaobai still has a lot of excerpts to read, he has to go back to see the excerpts, otherwise he will have to work overtime at night.

After returning to the Qi Palace, Zhang Tianshang came to meet Qi Xiaobai, Qi Xiaobai flipped through the fold and said, "You said that there is a person named Shang Ying who is reforming in the Qin State?" Reformed the hereditary system of aristocracy? ”

"Yes, the minister arranged a guest in the Qin State, and specially wrote to tell me that the current Qin State is undergoing a major reform!" Zhang Tianshang reported to Qi Xiaobai.

"Do you think we can reform the country of Qi?" Hearing that the Qin State was reforming, Qi Xiaobai's heart was rising to reform.

"Your Majesty, you want to carry out reforms?" Zhang Tian looked at Qi Xiaobai.

"That's right, the system of abolishing the secular official system, advocating that the capable should be on top, and the system of buying and selling officials has also been abolished." Qi Xiaobai said to Zhang Tianshang.

"The minister is willing to carry out this reform!" Zhang Tianshang said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect Zhang Tianshang to decide to carry out the reform of Qi with his own hands, he originally hoped to get Zhang Tianshang's support, but if Zhang Tianshang reformed with his own hands, then this would be more beneficial to Qi Xiaobai.

If the reform fails, Qi Xiaobai can put the blame on Zhang Tianshang and has nothing to do with him Qi Xiaobai, if the reform succeeds, then it is better, Qi Xiaobai can stabilize his power more.

The abolition of the hereditary system is to weaken the power of the aristocratic family, which is conducive to allowing the central government to absolutely grasp the power.

After all, the current hereditary official system, the titles and titles of the aristocratic family can always be passed on, but if the hereditary official system is abolished, it will be different, if your son is not capable, then your family may be out of the political arena, and the power of the family will be greatly weakened......

However, if Qi wants to greatly increase its national strength and become stronger, only reform can ......

The important thing is that Qi Xiaobai realizes that the aristocratic power is a threat to the central forces, and if the family is strong, they can threaten Qi Xiaobai together, so Qi Xiaobai wants to weaken the aristocratic family to increase the control of the central forces.

"Then I'll leave it to you, and I'll let Wei Dexian follow you!" Qi Xiaobai said to Zhang Tianshang.

Zhang Tianshang was stunned, thinking in his heart what can this Wei Dexian help himself?

"I asked Wei Dexian to cultivate a force, although the number is less than 10,000, but all of them are good hands, and there are many people who are proficient in assassination!" Qi Xiaobai said to Zhang Tianshang.

During the Qi-Yue War, Qi Xiaobai was not idle at all, and in order to make his position more solid, he asked Wei Dexian to recruit a group of dead soldiers.

Because it was a secret recruitment, the number of people recruited was small, less than 10,000, of which only 3,000 were capable of fighting, and most of them were market spies...... These spies are basically Qi Xiaobai's eyes outside the palace.

After hearing Qi Xiaobai's words, Zhang Tianshang was stunned, he didn't know that Qi Xiaobai still had this kind of power under his hands......

"Kill those who stand in the way of our reforms!" Qi Xiaobai said lightly.

"It is said that I know that Zhongjun doesn't seem to want to carry out reforms!" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"Where will I say Zhongjun, but our reform only involves civil officials!" Qi Xiaobai said to Zhang Tianshang.

Although Qi Xiaobai wants to reform, but Qi Xiaobai's reform is just those gate valve families, those military aristocrats, Qi Xiaobai does not dare to touch them, after all, if the military aristocracy is directly moved, then there is a possibility of civil war.

And these gate valve families Qi Xiaobai are not afraid, they have no military power or anything in their hands, and they are not like the nobles of Chu State, who have private pawns, these people are easy to deal with, but these people are also the most dangerous group of people to Qi State.

However, it is impossible to let the military nobles be hereditary, and the military nobles will not be moved now, but Qi Xiaobai will move in the future, but the military nobles cannot be taken directly, but they must be gradually weakened.

After Zhang Tianshang was awarded by Qi Xiaobai, the state of Qi began the road of reform......

Many aristocratic gate valves were inexplicably wiped out overnight, and the murderer could not be found, but people could guess that this was Qi Xiaobai's doing.

Although the reform was presided over by Zhang Tianshang in the court, it is known that it was Qi Xiaobai who really gave Zhang Tianshang power.

The great Confucian families, although they wanted to rebel against Qi Xiaobai, but they had no soldiers and were not qualified to fight against Qi Xiaobai at all, and because they did not touch the interests of the military nobles, those military nobles who held military power, the Sun family, and the Jiang family, were all standing by.

This time the military family stood by and watched, which was related to the perennial Chinese martial arts struggle, and they were also happy to see the gate valve family suppressed.

The official system of the Qi State has gradually transformed into a bureaucratic system, but the families still exist, but their power is not as great as before, and they can only recruit disciples from all over the world to strengthen their families.

Because Qi Xiaobai has canceled the hereditary official position, you have to leave when you are done, they want to keep the position of the nobles, they can only recruit talented disciples, in order to gain a foothold in the officialdom, so that the nobles will not wither.

But at this time, a group of new nobles gradually appeared, although these new nobles cannot be compared with the old nobles, but they will also become a threat to these old nobles in the future.

The so-called new aristocracy is the official who is not attached to the family after the talented person becomes an official, and if they can produce officials from the three dynasties, then it is possible to become a new nobleman.
