Chapter 161: Military and Political Reform

"Feng, Wu Yue is the commander of the Tiger Army, receiving the title of earl, and the general is ......" Sima Wen continued to read aloud:

"Feng, Su Muzhi is the commander of the Huwei Army, receiving the earldom, and the general is ......"

"Feng, Zuo Shuang is the commander of the Longxiang army, receiving the earldom, and the general is ......"

"Feng, Wang Yan is a lieutenant general, and the title of viscount is ......"

"Feng, Sima Wen is the supervision order, and he will receive the earl ......"

"Feng, Liu Yuan is the prime minister's long history......"

As Sima Wen finished reading the edict one by one, the hundred officials in the hall knelt down one after another, and in the end, they had already knelt down a large number.

Among them, in terms of military attaché, Lu Chen appointed Xiao Wang as the left prime minister, led the military and political affairs, and then revoked the position of the former commander of the Feng Country, and divided the 800,000 Feng Army into four armies, which consisted of:

Xiao Wang served as the commander of the Pingzhou Army, Su Muzhi served as the commander of the Huwei Army, Wu Yue served as the commander of the Huben Army, and Zuo Shuang served as the commander of the Longxiang Army.

The 200,000 soldiers of each army, including 600,000 infantry troops and 200,000 cavalry, and the four commanders in peacetime, all the soldiers were handed over to Lu Chen, and they only had the right to manage their respective armies, and to mobilize more than 30,000 troops, they needed Lu Chen's approval. In wartime, if Lu Chen wants to mobilize any troops to engage in battle, he will give him a commander's talisman and order him to command his troops to ......

In terms of civil officials, Lu Chen appointed Xue Huairen as the right prime minister to lead the major affairs of the court, and then removed all the empty official positions that had no practical meaning before the Feng Kingdom, and under the left and right prime ministers, he set up the post of Shang Shuling, in charge of the affairs of the three ministries of the country, to balance the prime minister's too large power of the court.

This is his reference to the three provinces and six ministries in the history of China in the previous life, but he only selected three of them, including the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials.

These three departments, led by Li Miaocai, and the chief officials of the three departments under him are also served by some of the more talented civil officials under Lu Chen's previous account.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of the construction of national water and land projects, the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of household registration and taxation, and the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the evaluation of the performance of officials. The three divisions of work are clear, the administrative efficiency is improved, there is no mutual blame, and the relative weakening of the power of the prime minister and the centralization of power are strengthened.

Sima Wen was appointed as a supervision order to supervise hundreds of officials, and Liu Yuan was appointed as the prime minister, which is equivalent to the deputy prime minister.

Lu Chen's conferral is more like a military and political reform, so that the officials in the middle and middle of the Fengguo Dynasty can perform their duties, with a clear organization and a clear division of labor.

He not only firmly held the military power of the whole country in his hands, but also added the post of military captain in each county, dividing the power of a county into the county head in charge of political affairs and the military captain in charge of the military, which greatly limited the power of the county head over the county army.

Among them, only two people were awarded the title of marquis, more than ten earls, dozens of viscounts, and none dukes. And the Zhengyipin Minister, in addition to the left and right prime ministers, there are also more Shangshu Ling Li Miaocai, and Supervision Ling Sima Wen.

The second-rank official is Prime Minister Shi Liuyuan and the other three chief officials.

Then there are the main generals, deputy generals, partial generals, and chief and deputy corps commanders in each army. The deputy positions of the civil service departments, engaged in the county heads, county officials, county guards, etc., etc.

After a conferral ceremony, more than ten edicts were written, and Sima Wen, who read it, had a dry mouth and a hoarse voice.

After he finished reading all the conferral seals, there was almost no one standing in the hall anymore, and after Sima Wen handed over the edict to Lu Chen, he also returned to the bottom of the hall and knelt on the ground.

Lu Chen stood up and said: "Let's all get up, can there be any objections to the award of this king?" ”

He was the king, and he said who would be given an official position, and who would dare to disagree, and the people knelt down and shouted in unison: "The ministers have no objection-"

After everyone got up, Lu Chen began to formally discuss politics with the hundred officials.

He will never forget the original Longshan defense line, so the first question he raised on this first day of the official court meeting was also a matter of people's livelihood!

When he threw this question out, Jian Rong was the first to speak, he walked out of the train, Shi Li said:

"The king can be the first to think of the people's livelihood, and he is really the king of the Holy Ming!"

He was originally the head of Lingnan County, and this time he was awarded the ceremony, Lu Chen promised him to capture Ding Rui, not only did he remove him from the position of county head, but also crowned him as a viscount. You must know that in today's ceremony, those who have received the title are all heroes who have fought for Lu Chen, and the title is also extremely rare, and sometimes, it is more important than the official position.

Jian Rong came out of the ranks, first praised Lu Chen, and then said: "My country has just pacified the civil strife, and many people have been displaced, and all counties and counties are also barren and uncultivated. Therefore, Weichen believes that the most important thing at the moment is not to collect taxes, but to make the people in various places settle down, and distribute the wasteland to a certain size, reward farming, and restore national strength. ”

Yo, I didn't expect this Jian Rong to not only be a sycophant, but also a little talented! Lu Chen nodded when he heard this, and asked, "Do you have any detailed suggestions in this regard?" ”

Jian Rong returned to the train, and Xue Huairen then came out and said: "King, Weichen also agrees with what Master Jian just said, first, my country should divide all the wasteland with the landless homeless, so that not only the acres of land will be cultivated, but also those homeless people will naturally settle down if they have good land. Second, the land tax on these barren fields is exempted, and it is changed to the fact that in the first three years, half of the grain produced by the acres of land will be handed over to the state, and half will be retained for themselves, and after three years, the acres of land will be owned by the people, and the state will only collect the normal annual grain tax. ”

At that time, the state distributed the barren land to the people to cultivate, not to say that the field was yours, but to charge a certain amount of land tax. What Xue Huairen said was to suggest that Lu Chen collect half of the grain produced by the acres in the first three years, and after three years, the acres of land would be completely returned to the people.

To put it simply, the state is responsible for planting fertile land for some homeless people, and then the people exchange the production for three years for this fertile land, which is a matter of benefiting the people and the country, and the people will definitely compete to be willing to do it.

Lu Chen went through Xue Huairen's suggestion in his mind, and he immediately felt that it was a good idea! He immediately said: "What Lord Xue said is very reasonable, this king has decided to immediately issue a national decree, and all counties and counties must inform the people of this policy, and if anyone dares to dare to dare to make an edict, he will not be pardoned!" ”

"Obey the king's edict—" the ministers said in unison.

"The king is wise." Xue Huairen gave a salute and returned to his train.

Subsequently, Lu Chen reformed various policies one by one, and his starting point was to restore national strength, he really wanted to recover Hedong, but the current wind country was simply unable to support this big war, he could only endure and wait for the recovery of national strength.

Under his royal command, the massive machine of the Windy Nation began to turn.
