Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 52 The Privy
"It turns out that one person is missing."

Xue Xian's eyes were gloomy, and her heart was covered with a haze.

She came to Wenyi this time in the name of the God Envoy of the Honghu Department, looking for the whereabouts of something. It is said that this is an errand ordered by Her Royal Highness. The thing she is looking for is very strange. According to the Honghu God Envoy An ambiguous description, "passed down from ancient times, shaped like a mortise and tenon, and its power is unpredictable..."

With the Douyi compass combined with the perception of the Suzaku spirit talisman, it seems to be in Yuntai Mountain, but the specific location, like the dangling pointer of the Douyi compass at this moment, is very mysterious.

Yuntai Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, how to find it?

But on this side, there is not much clue yet, the whereabouts of the subordinates sent out have disappeared, and Xue Xian can be imagined feeling depressed.

This time, Chu Man looked at the manpower he had brought, and naturally saw something, her complexion changed slightly, and she said in surprise, "Banner Master, something happened slightly?"

Although it was a questioning sentence, there was an ominous certainty in his expression.

Xue Xian was upset when she heard the words and said in a cold voice: "It's too early to say these things now, wild beasts are infested in the mountains and forests, maybe I have encountered wild beasts, you follow me to find them."

Saying that, Xue Xian led Chu Man and others to follow Lin Qingqing's previous running direction.

These people are either immortals or martial arts practitioners, and they are eager to find people. In about a quarter of an hour, they have arrived at the place where Lin Qingqing was captured earlier.

"Banner owner, Sister Man, there is blood on the ground, and I found a light strip of cloth."

At this time, a woman with sharp eyes picked up a piece of cloth among the thorns and grass.

The strip of cloth was obviously torn off intentionally and kept. It can be seen that Lin Qingqing is not a brainless person. He has received basic training and left some clues. As for Su Zhao's guards, they are not so meticulous.

Seeing the bloodstains, Xue Xian sprang out her consciousness, and quickly swept across the surrounding area, and soon found some horseshoe prints in the soft grass, her cold eyes flickered, and she asked, "Chu Man, is there any army around here?" Soldiers stationed?"

Chu Man was startled, worried about Lin Qingwei, whose whereabouts were unknown, after hearing the inquiry, she replied: "The Yuntai Camp in Su State is at the foot of the mountain twenty miles away. Met a military scout?"

"It's hard to say, you go and send someone to check it out." Xue Xian ordered in a cold voice.

From her point of view, it would be very difficult to rescue her if she fell into the hands of the garrison, and there was no guarantee that Lin Qingwei would not reveal her background, and accidents would happen in vain.

Chu Man nodded when he heard the words, and headed towards the Yuntai Camp with a few of his men.

……

……

When it was the hour of Youzheng, the evening sun was shining, Su Zhao and Wei Xiangge also led the imperial army back to the palace of the State of Su.

In a side hall of Ganlu Hall, in the open and bright Baosha Hall, the two sat on their knees separated by a small pear wood table.

Outside the window, the setting sun passed through thousands of green bamboos, and the cool breeze came in. The bamboo shadows whirled and fell on the thin book above the case. Then jumped into the eye.

"The system of the Privy Council."

Su Zhao read it, and under the timely communication and coordination between him and Chen Shao, some of the constructions basically conformed to his idea.

The Privy Council has a Privy Envoy, who can be called Guowei, Taiwei, and Deputy Envoys according to the common titles of all countries at the moment. There are also other affairs and orders, and they handle documents and military orders in the Siwu Office.

In terms of structure, there are five departments, including training, military affairs, Yuhou, joint logistics, and military law.

In this way, all the military orders of the Soviet Union belonged to the Privy Council. As for Sima, one of the six officials, it became a military and political government office similar to the Ministry of War. The registers of soldiers and garrisons, the map of vital points in mountains and rivers, and the number of armored battles in stables and shepherds, all are well known.”

In Su Zhao's vision, the four military Sima's in the Grand Sima's Mansion will be changed to the functions of the four divisions of Wuxuan, Staff, Driving Department, and Treasury Department.

Chen Shao naturally understood Su Zhao's intentions.

With piercing eyes, Su Zhao said in a deep voice, "Chen Qing, there is nothing wrong with the structure of the five divisions, but we still need to add a teaching division."

"Department of Education?" Chen Shao frowned, his eyes full of incomprehension.

Su Zhao put down the teacup and said in a clear voice: "Preach comfort to the sergeants, educate the officers, to show their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and to inspire their courage to fight the enemy. This part of the military academy can only be served by people who are not educated and reasonable. I have recently planned to build it Lecture hall, train low-level generals, and at the same time inspect military academies with potential, and entrust them with the responsibility of educating people's hearts."

Naturally, the generals and schools of the Teaching Department can't just play tricks, relatively speaking, they must have good military qualities.

Chen Shao's eyes twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, the Junhou has such a strong desire to control military power because of Yuan Bin's incident.

Apparently, in Chen Shao's view, whether it was the sending of a similar supervising army by the teaching department or the preparation of the martial arts hall, it all showed that the young prince in front of him had the will to control the military power of Su.

Chen Shao pondered for a moment, and said: "Instructions to increase the structure of the department, and the officials will make it after returning."

Su Zhao said with a smile: "I don't worry about being lonely. With Chen Qing's talent, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Then, Su Zhao mentioned the establishment of the inspection department, which can be regarded as a refinement of the functions of the Sikou Mansion.

The duties of the chief officer are in charge of prisons and pickets. The latter functions have now been replaced by the Yushitai.

Today's Sikou Mansion is also a collection of arrests and prosecutions, and its duties are chaotic.

The inspection department is in charge of public security and anti-piracy. In Su Zhao's vision, corresponding inspection departments are set up in various places. In this way, the local garrisons of county lieutenants and county lieutenants in various places can concentrate on military preparations, and cooperate with the Ministry of War and the Privy Council's conscription and training. .

The inspection department has undoubtedly become an internal security force similar to the public security armed police.

After listening to Su Zhao's construction of the Inspection Department, Chen Shao thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, if you expand the manpower and set up more organizations, Meng Situ..."

Su Zhao shook his head and said: "Splitting the personnel and clarifying the responsibilities can't be said to be an expansion, and the establishment of the Inspection Department is also deliberately set up for some generals, so that their martial arts will not be lost in the rivers and lakes."

In his opinion, the reason why there are many bandits and bandits in the country is that raising minor illnesses into serious troubles does not prevent micro-duration.

The three squads of policemen in the county government not only help the six subordinate officials to collect land taxes, but also maintain law and order, and they have heavy responsibilities.

There are also county magistrates, who recruit and recruit officials on their own, integrating civil administration and judicial power, and working with the gentry and gentry to manipulate the judiciary and exploit the people, so that land annexation and injustice have intensified.

Then the common people who don't want to be attached to the nobles can only gather in the mountains and forests to steal for the bandits, and the country of Su will naturally become weaker and weaker.

"The territory of the seven counties is comparable to a province of China in the later generations, but the population on the books is only a million. How can we compete with other countries?" Su Zhao these days, the more he looked at the information of the seven counties, the more shocking he felt , tossing and turning sleepless.

The gentry, the public and the ministers all pay food and work as one?It's just pasting.

Only the word land reform hovered in my mind for a long time.

But after thinking about it for a while, in the rehearsal of all seven counties, he finally suppressed the urge to undergo major surgery. There are some things that can be done but cannot be said.

The only way is to firmly control the army first, then rectify the administration of officials, build the Yushitai, reshape the supervisory authority, use the name of rectifying discipline, fighting corruption and advocating honesty, etc., to attack the corrupt public and official class, and at the same time distinguish loyalty from traitors...

Well, this step by step seems familiar.
