The atmosphere in the Qingzhou Mansion was a little relaxed and joyful at this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Three successive arms orders have relieved the government officials led by Pang Yukun, and now the financial constraints of the fiefdom have finally been alleviated by these orders.

Fifteen hundred artillery pieces and 28,000 arquebuses were enough to bring more than 10 million taels of silver to the fiefdom.

"Don't be too happy now, these materials haven't arrived in our hands yet, so you have to do a good job of handing over the materials with the imperial court, King Zhao, and King Liang." Xiao Ming reminded.

Just like the last time I did business with the King of Chu, silver, gold, and copper were only a part of this transaction, and most of the silver was offset by materials.

After discussion, King Zhao took out 100,000 taels of gold, 1 million taels of silver, 120,000 catties of brass, 92,000 catties of iron, 1,000,000 stones of wheat, 5,000 catties of silk, 50,000 horses of cloth, 300,000 pieces of banknotes, and 20,000 horses.

The open-pit coal mines in the fiefdom of King Liang were abundant, and he took out 50,000 taels of gold, 900,000 taels of silver, 62,000 catties of brass, 108,000 catties of iron, 1,200,000 stones of wheat, 1,000,000 catties of coal, and 600,000 taels of banknotes.

Compared with King Zhao and King Liang, the materials of the imperial court were the most diverse, including 200,000 catties of saltpeter and 160,000 catties of sulfur.

The amount of these materials looks terrifying, but in fact, it is not much at all, for example, Liang Wang's one million catties of coal is actually only 500 tons of coal, and 62,000 catties of brass is only 31 tons.

One of his cast-iron cannons is at least 500 catties, and the heavy city defense cannons are even more than 1,000 catties.

"Yes, Your Highness, your majesty, let the various treasurys in Qingzhou prepare to receive these materials." Pang Yukun said.

Compared with silver, Pang Yukun prefers specific grain, iron, copper and other hard currency, after all, the war is together, and when there is silver, these things may not be able to be bought.

And even if it is all traded silver, they still have to exchange it with the merchants for these materials, so it is convenient and fast to barter directly, and the only idea that needs is that the quality of the materials needs to be controlled.

Xiao Ming nodded, and he continued: "In the future, our arms transactions will only increase, and the treasury of Qingzhou may not be enough, and the previous way of piling everything together must be changed, and there must be special warehouses for different materials." ”

Pang Yukun didn't feel anything before, but now with the more and more transactions day by day, the warehouse of this government is indeed gradually insufficient, he said: "His Royal Highness said very much, but when it comes to this matter, the lower official remembered something, these days the lower official read His Royal Highness's government affairs books in the Bowen College, quite a lot, the lower official thinks that now the fief should rectify the government affairs, after all, there are more and more affairs in the fief now, and the government affairs should also be refined, at least to imitate the imperial court has its own set of official systems." “

"The official system?" Xiao Ming showed a playful look, it seems that Pang Yukun has really learned some advanced government affairs experience of the Bowen College.

Pang Yukun Mu Ne's face showed an embarrassed look, originally he was not very sad about these government affairs books, but after reading them inadvertently, he suddenly felt that many things in the books were very useful, so he re-examined Xiao Ming's government affairs books in Bowen College.

"Yes, Your Highness, the lower officials think that the government should be rectified, so that the government offices of the states and counties in the fiefdom can complete the policies of His Highness from top to bottom, and at the same time deal with different affairs of the people." Pang Yukun said firmly.

"Well, you're right, this king has been busy with the affairs of Dengzhou during this time, but he ignored this matter, and since this is the case, he put this matter on the agenda." Xiao Ming said.

Generally speaking, his fief was a vassal state, and since it was a vassal state, it had to have a complete system of officials of its own, so that he could manage the fief more effectively.

Secondly, the establishment of a complete system of officials is also to be able to control newly acquired territory at any time, such as the current Ryukyu Island.

In the future, Xiao Ming will have more and more colonies, which requires the ability to establish government institutions in unfamiliar places at any time, so a mature official system is particularly important at this time.

Because this is not only to manage the fiefdom at this stage, but above all to be able to reserve officials in case of emergency.

After deciding on this matter, Pang Yukun ordered to convene the chief officials of the prefectures and counties of the fiefdom to come to the Qingzhou Mansion to discuss matters, and at the same time, he and Xiao Ming worked out the specific establishment of the organization and the scope of responsibility in a few days.

Five days later, the heads of all prefectures and counties went to Qingzhou to participate in the deliberations.

In the Qingzhou Mansion, Xiao Ming was in the main position, and the officials were under Xiao Ming, and the situation was like a court discussion.

Pang Yukun stood at the forefront of the first hundred officials of the fiefdom, followed by Qingzhou Thorn History Zhan Xingchang, Dengzhou Thorn Shi Yang Chengye, Cangzhou Thorn Shi Chang Yuchun, Yizhou Thorn Shi Yan Changhao, Yunzhou Thorn Shi Kong Yongan, Laizhou Thorn Shi Wei Changming, Youzhou Thorn Shi Han Jin.

After the history of the state assassination is the county order of the county in charge of them, and there are hundreds of people in total.

Some of these officials were elected by Pang Yukun, some were promoted from the previous fiefdoms, and some were assigned from the Bowen Academy.

Looking at the officials below, Xiao Ming suddenly smiled, and at this moment he suddenly understood Xiao Wenxuan's fascination with imperial power.

Just imagine, with so many officials standing in front of them, everyone will have a feeling of looking down on the world, right?

"This time you came to Qingzhou to discuss the matter, you must know the matter of government reform, now the affairs of the fief are becoming more and more numerous, the changes are changing with each passing day, the state and county governments must make changes in advance for the future development, at the same time, this meeting is also to let you clarify the official system of the fief, who will deal with the problem in government affairs in the future, to avoid the situation of prevarication."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiao Ming said loudly at this time.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The officials immediately bowed down and said.

At this time, Xiao Ming continued: "In this case, this king will inform you of the government affairs and official system of the fief, from today on, this king orders Pang Yukun to be the first assistant of the cabinet of the feudal country, and set up a feudal cabinet, the cabinet will be composed of nine cabinet ministers, including the first assistant, responsible for hearing the government affairs of various states and counties and discussing government affairs with the king, and the cabinet is divided into six divisions, with responsibilities like six departments, in addition to the establishment of the Supervision Yuan independent of the six divisions, in charge of the judicial and criminal law of the feudal country, and the supervision of fiefdom officials......"

Recalling the official system designed, Xiao Ming said his thoughts one by one, and from then on, his feudal state would get rid of the chaotic government management system and have the comprehensive management system of a small imperial court.
