The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 529: : Opening up the frontiers and expanding the 14 states!

Xiao Rui was willing to pretend to be dead, but persuading His Majesty who was the king of a country to pretend to die, this...Xiao Rui was not sure.

"The method is a good method, but I am afraid that your majesty will not agree." Xiao Rui expressed his concern.

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "How do you know if your Majesty will agree if you don't try? And now I really can't think of a better way, because we know too little about the situation. As the saying goes, knowing ourselves and the enemy can win all battles, and the success rate of other strategies is too low. ."

Jia Xu said: "His Majesty, this is a great matter of killing the king. It involves treason and cannot be held in our hands. It must be truthfully reported to Your Majesty. As for your Majesty's willingness to settle the plan, it depends on your Majesty's intention."

"Mr. Wenhe is right. This time it is not a small fight, but a rebellion against the king! The messenger is probably another prince. You can't hide this thing! In order to avoid being framed in the future, your Highness is eradicating dissidents." Xiao Heye Put forward his own views.

Guo Jia said: "His Royal Highness, you hand over the packet of poison to your subordinates, and the subordinates will go and look for Hua Tuo to see if he can distinguish the type of poison, so that we can facilitate our strategy!"

Xiao Rui handed the poison to Xiao Guojia, and finally nodded: "The four gentlemen are reasonable. I will enter the palace now, and I will persuade your majesty to pretend to be dead at any cost. Once your majesty agrees to the plan, what will happen next? It depends on your majesty's instructions."

The four nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Xiao Rui returned to the palace.

But it was getting late, and when Xiao Rui came to the Hall of Cultivation of Hearts, His Majesty was not in the Hall. After inquiring, he learned that he had read too many memorials today, and his Majesty was a little tired.

The internal officer asked Xiao Rui if he needed to see him urgently. Xiao Rui hesitated and shook his head and returned to the Eastern Palace.

The next day, Xiao Rui got up early and went to court.

Going up early, His Majesty asked Yang Feiyuan, the minister of household secretary, about the progress of clearing the grain fields in the world. Yang Feiyuan replied that 80% of the areas have been completed, and other areas are intensively clearing the land, which is expected to be completed within two months.

This nationwide Qingzhang Grain Field is of great significance. Only by familiarizing yourself with your family can you better cope with the coming Little Ice Age.

In addition to clearing the world’s grain fields, His Majesty also asked the Ministry of Households to check the internal and external depots of the households and the local grain storage and grain reserves. This task is simpler than that of the Qingzhang grain fields. The last step of statistics and verification.

"Within seven days, after completing the statistics and verification, I need to know how much grain there is in Daxia! No matter how much grain reserves there is for ten years!" Xia Huang sat high on the dragon chair, glanced at the officials, and said leisurely.

Xia Huang tried his best to cure for twenty-three years. The first ten years were like doctors treating the barren Da Xia, bringing the battered Da Xia back to life and prosperity, and regaining lost ground, even frightening Zhao and Qi. After ten years of recuperation and rest, benefiting the people, coupled with the fact that the heavens are beautiful, there was no large-scale severe weather, and the disaster in some areas was effectively controlled. Therefore, the people lived well, and the large granaries of the imperial court were also full of surplus, so Emperor Xia doesn’t have an accurate figure on how much grain there is in Daxia, but as he said, there must be a grain reserve for ten years!

Yang Feiyuan, Shangshu from the Ministry of Households, respectfully said: "Weichen understands that we must check the number as soon as possible and submit it to your majesty."

Emperor Xia nodded.

Yang Feiyuan arched his hands back to his position, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if there was something frustrating, it made Xiao Rui, who secretly observed him, raised his brows, which made it even more interesting.

It seems that your Majesty allowed himself to investigate Yang Feiyuan, not just because he formed a party to protect his family, but now the top priority is not to deal with him, let Wei Zhongxian investigate him first.

This morning, in addition to clearing the grain fields and taking stock of the grain silos, there was another major event.

Just listen to Emperor Xia again: "Let’s discuss how to manage the expanded territory."

As soon as these words came out, Mandian Wenwu was silent, and his eyes were eager.

Leaving aside Qi, although the champion Hou hit Fengtian City in Qi, the people of Qi have a strong sense of resistance, so the occupied areas are guarded by troops, and even for a long time in the future, they have to rely on them. Force deterrence.

Why are the people of the occupied land of Zhao obedient, but the people of Qi have to resist?

In the final analysis, it is because of popular sentiment.

Emperor Qi was inspiring to be a good emperor, so after he was enthroned, the light corvee and tax cuts won the recognition of the people. Even if he later played faintly to attract wolves into the house, the people of Qi still had to protect their country against the Xia army.

On the other hand, Zhao’s forced conscription, heavy military service, and heavy taxation made the people breathless. In the end, in order to resist the Xia army, they were forced to recruit males. The people lived in such a hopeless country. In China, can you still count on the people to resist for the country?

The people just want to eat, drink, and be warm. Their needs are simple. Zhao Guo also has righteous men who resist, but most of them are simple people.

Today, the territory east of the Qijiang River is included in the Great Xia Territory. There are a full 14 counties, a land area of ​​more than 4 million square kilometers, and a population of 30 million. It is not easy to manage such a large area. .

At this stage, the method adopted by Emperor Xia is to garrison troops in important counties and capitals to form a deterrent, and then send officials to manage it.

However, the territory is too large, with 14 big counties, 60 or 70 prefectures, and countless counties and villages under the prefecture. Now the officials sent by Daxia are limited, mainly relying on the original officials of Zhao Guo to govern.

Relying on Zhao’s original officials is not a long-term solution. At least the principal must be Daxia officials. However, people who are not familiar with the place of life can easily be emptied. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a comprehensive official system of their own. Then, with the cooperation of Zhao’s officials, it will be enough. The maximum speed allows the people in the occupied territories to have a sense of belonging and completely become Daxia people!

Of course, official governance is only one of them. For better governance, other means are needed. Such as excellent policies, rewarding land, reducing taxes, relocating the people, etc. Now your Majesty has issued these policies to benefit the people.

It’s worth mentioning that some time ago, it was the season of autumn harvesting and cultivation. After the war to the east of the Qijiang River, the people began to grab their own crops. Before the change, the autumn harvested grains were not soft and warm, they were taken away by the government, but now only Commit to joining Daxia, take the initiative to complete the re-registration of household registration, and measure the land under your name, you can enjoy the benefit for the people, as long as the land is your own, you don't need to hand in a grain! Not only the payment of grain, but also the tax on young crops, cattle tax, etc. have also been reduced or exempted, so this policy of benefiting the people directly attracted the people of Zhao State.

at this time.

Emperor Xia said: "Now that the fourteen counties east of the Qijiang River are included in the territory of Great Xia, I have considered repeatedly and plan to remove the counties as states and establish fourteen states. The area of ​​each state is the same as the original county, and no changes will be made. In addition, in order to better manage the fourteen states, I am going to establish Anxi Province and the Anxi Prefecture Protectorate to coordinate all the administrative affairs of the fourteen states. Where is Li Mingchong?"

"The minister is here!" Li Mingchong said hurriedly out of the queue.

Xia Huangdao: "Since the county has been changed to a state, the prefecture will naturally be abolished and the governor will be established in accordance with the Daxia system. Therefore, the cabinet will draft a candidate and select the appropriate candidate for the governor! In addition, the officials will choose the prefects of each prefecture at their discretion. Candidates. This time the selection is not limited to Daxia officials or the original Zhao Guo officials, as long as they pass the word of mouth and character, they can be nominated. For example, the Shou Diqing of Zangdong County, I heard that he took the initiative to surrender for the people and soldiers in the city. I would rather bear the treasonous infamy on my own. Such a loyal official, even though he was once an official of the State of Zhao, I can rest assured to use him, so I appoint him as the governor of Eastern Tibet!"

"Yes, Weichen understands!" Li Mingchong replied.

After a pause, Li Mingchong suggested: "Your Majesty, the newly established fourteen states have a vast territory. If you want to fully establish an official system, you need at least 20,000 officials, and you also need to take precautions to prepare for the new northern territory. So. Weichen boldly suggested that the number of shortlisted candidates for the spring imperial examination next year needs to be increased!"

"I have this reason! Then follow Aiqing's words and let the cabinet negotiate." Xia Huang nodded.

Next year will be the three-year imperial examination. This time it will require a large number of officials. It is a big opportunity for scholars. In previous years, there may be only one or two hundred Jinshi, but this time it is estimated to double.

And even doubling is far from enough. Xiao Rui estimates that in the spring of next year, Enke will have to be opened the next year, and talents will be selected through continuous imperial examinations.

After all, the number of officials from 20,000 to 30,000, remove a small part of the appointed officials of the original Zhao State, and leave a large part of the main positions, and you have to use Daxia officials. And don’t forget, champion Hou hit Fengtian City, occupying six states of Qi, covering an area of ​​more than two million square kilometers. It's impossible to spit it out after eating it in your mouth! Sooner or later, it is Daxia's site, so a lot of officials are also needed there.

At this time, Emperor Xia looked at Xiao Rui and asked, "Does the prince have anything to say?"

Xiao Rui stepped out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, next year's Spring Wei imperial examination, will the original Zhao Guo Juren in the fourteen prefectures also be allowed to participate?"

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "Naturally, as long as you are willing to become a citizen of Daxia and complete the household registration, you can come to Kyoto to participate in the imperial examination if you are willing to become a citizen of Daxia and complete the household registration. If you are a high school, you can enjoy all the same treatment."

Daxia Country^_^ People are willing to come.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with your son." Xiao Rui backed away.

In fact, Xiao Rui is more concerned about the establishment of Anxi Duhu Fu!

The administrative system of Daxia is the state capital and county, and the state is the highest administrative region of the locality. Unexpectedly, the Anxi Duhu Prefecture has been established to directly govern the 14 states. This is incredible!

But His Majesty didn't introduce too much, so not only Xiao Rui, but also civil and military officials were curious.

Afterwards, several political issues were discussed, and the early dynasty ended.

Xiao Rui was preparing to accompany Emperor Xia to return to the Hall of Nurturing Heart~www.wuxiahere.com~ Emperor Xia made a whim and said, "Let's go with me..."

"Yes!" Xiao Rui respectfully replied one step behind him.

The two walked in the palace, the imperial army followed far away, and the rising sun rendered the east golden.

"Emperor, the establishment of Anxi Protectorate above the fourteen prefectures is my temporary intention, and I haven't communicated with anyone." Xia Huang said suddenly.

Xiao Rui nodded, no wonder even Li Mingchong, the chief minister of the cabinet, was a little surprised.

"The fourteen states must be controlled as soon as possible. Didn't you find out? When I talked about the governance of the fourteen states, the civil and military officials all had a keen eye. Now these fourteen states are full of sweet steamed buns!" Xia Huang said leisurely.

Xiao Rui was startled, and suddenly understood what his Majesty meant.
