One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin wants to send these four hundred people to seven counties including Jinghu South Road, Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, Fujian Road, Chengdufu Road, Tongchuanfu Road, and Kuizhou Road. These seven roads are currently still open. Without being covered by the flames of war, first get the military power of these seven counties, and then Li Xin will start to rectify the Xiang Army. Li Xin will build the Xiang Army into a force similar to the armed police of later generations.

After finishing these items, Li Xin went to bed first. In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Xiaochun and others arrived in Quanzhou with an infantry of horses. The Xie Ke family also accepted the reality after meeting Zhao Ding and Lu Yihao.

Li Xin said to the Xie Ke family: "Master Xie, I know your abilities. Now I will promote you to the Fujian Road System Envoy, and Lu Deng, you will be the Fujian Road Xuanfu Envoy. From now on, the various system envoys will only be in charge of civil affairs, and The Xuanfu envoy is in charge of the army, and the military and political affairs are separated. In peacetime, the two positions are of the same rank, but the Zhizhi envoy is responsible for the supply of food and grass for the garrison in various places. The imperial army and the Xiang army in various places were put under the command of the Xuanfu envoys, while the rural soldiers were put under the command of the Zhizhi envoys. This is the first reform measure taken by this king after he took office."

Zhao Ding worriedly said: "Although the prince's move is good, I am afraid that the generals who are out there will not agree. Besides,"

Li Xin said: "I understand what Yuan Zhen means, and I have my own plans for Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong."

Lu Yihao cupped his hands and said, "But the prince and Zhang Jun are here. Previously, the emperor gave him all the military and political power in Sichuan and Shaanxi."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Put Sichuan and Shaanxi aside for now. I will make my own arrangements. Now we must first stabilize Jinghu South Road, Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, and Fujian Road, which are the four places that have not been affected by war or have relatively little war. , Zhang Xiaochun, I now promote you to be the Zhizhi envoy of Jinghu South Road, Zhe Yanzhi to be the Xuanfu envoy of Jinghu South Road, Zhu Shengfei to be the Zhizhi envoy to Guangnan East Road, Cheng Mai to be the Xuanfu envoy of Guangnan East Road, Li Gang Huang Zuo is the envoy for Guangnan West Road, and Huang Zuo is the envoy for Guangnan West Road." Huang Zuo was the person Li Xin asked Gao Ping to kidnap three years ago. According to the original history, Huang Zuo would have become Prime Minister Zhong's right-hand man, but this time In his first life, he was tied to Xinghan, and because of Li Xin's ambition, he devoted himself to work under Li Xin. Of course, in this life, Zhong Xiang, Yang Yao, and Xia Cheng were all assassinated by Gao Ping, so later It is unknown whether the Dingzhou Uprising will happen again.

Zhao Ding bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will prepare the decree right now."

Li Xin said: "Wait a minute, the current decree is still issued in the name of the emperor, and the students transferred by this king from Chongwu Academy are all sent out to Jinghu South Road, Guangnan East Road, Guangnan Road, etc. The county captains of seven counties including Nanxi Road, Fujian Road, Chengdufu Road, Tongchuanfu Road, and Kuizhou Road."

Lu Yihao frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this is what you want."

Li Xin explained: "The king wants to reorganize the troops in each county, eliminate the old and weak, and recruit the young and strong, and expand the number of troops in each county to one thousand."

Zhao Ding asked: "What about the old and weak who are eliminated?"

Li Xin replied: "All the old and weak people from Jinghu South Road, Guangnan East Road, Guangnan West Road, and Fujian Road will be sent to Quanzhou, and then sent to Xinghan for resettlement through Quanzhou. Xinghan can resettle at least two people." There are millions of people, and the government will support the other three groups first to ensure that they do not starve to death for three months. After three months, the king will have his own way to resettle them."

Lu Yihao asked: "What about money, whether it is to reorganize the army or feed the people, but we currently have insufficient tax sources."

Li Xin smiled and said: "I am not a poor man like the emperor. Lu Shangshu, do you know how much savings I have now?"

Lu Yihao shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Li Xin said: "I now have a savings of tens of millions of dollars, and I keep it in Hui'an."

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this. Lu Yihao sighed: "As expected of the prince, I have surrendered. Then I, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, don't have to worry about it for the time being."

Li Xin added: "So, Lu Shangshu, the monthly payment policy promulgated some time ago can be revoked. The tax burden on the people is already very heavy, so there is no need to increase taxes."

All the ministers bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Li Xin continued: "Lv Shangshu, from now on, the Municipal Shipping Department will be placed under the Ministry of Household Affairs. The two Municipal Shipping Departments in Guangzhou and Quanzhou should pay more attention to it. In the future, the two Municipal Shipping Departments should buy less foreign luxury goods, and at the same time, increase the amount of ore and goods." As for the purchase share of grain and kerosene, I am not interested in those luxury goods. I can only keep a small amount for rewards. In addition, our luxury goods can also be sold through foreign ships, such as glazed mirrors. I want you to be there. Xing Han has already seen it, selling these things can also increase our income, or we can exchange them for things we need."

Lu Yihao replied: "I understand."

Li Xin finally said: "Okay, Yuan Zhen, finally send a decree to Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, ordering Han Shizhong to lead the troops to intercept the Jin army on its way back, and ask Zhang Jun to lead the troops to Quanzhou quickly. I will do it first." Conquer Zhang Jun, and the court will resume its work tomorrow, so all the memorials should be submitted. Currently, there are only four of us, Yuan Zhen, Yuan Zhi, and Zhao Liangsi, so we are very busy."

It was already very late after everyone had discussed everything. After Li Xin invited everyone to have a meal, he went to bed. The next day, with the issuance of decrees, Li Xin's court began to operate at high speed.

On this day, Zhang Jun led his men to the outside of Quanzhou City. Far away, Zhang Jun saw the huge military camp outside Quanzhou City. Zhang Jun ordered the troops to stop, and he walked forward with a few of his men. The guards saw Zhang Jun and others came forward and said, "But Zhang Jiedushi is here."

Zhang Jun replied: "That's right. Your Majesty can be inside."

The servant said: "Envoy Zhang Jiedu invites you."

Zhang Jun led Tian Shizhong, Yang Yizhong, Zhao Mi and others into the military camp. The more Zhang Jun walked, the more strange he became. When did the emperor have such a powerful army?

After entering the tent, he saw a man writing something at his desk. When he noticed someone entering the tent, the man didn't even look up and asked, "But Zhang Jiedushi is here."

Zhang Jun heard the voice was familiar but couldn't remember who it was for a moment, so he had to answer: "It's me."

The man directly ordered the guard next to him to recite the imperial edict. After reciting the two edicts, Zhang Jun's face changed drastically. He thought that the emperor must have encountered a big change again, and he and his subordinates must have entered the tiger's den, so he clenched one hand After taking the sword handle, everyone else understood what was going on and quietly clenched their weapons.

The man at the desk raised his head and said calmly: "Why, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, so I don't recognize you now."

When Zhang Jun saw the man's face, he was stunned. After a while, he broke into a cold sweat and said: "Liu Shuai, it turns out you are still alive."

Liu Fa pushed the wheelchair out and said: "Of course X is still alive, but his legs are broken. It was the prince who saved X, so now X is serving under the prince."
