Chapter 650 Administrative Adjustment

Beiping.

The inner city wall only has the last kilometer left to be closed. From a distance, it rises from the ground like a giant dragon.

The Di people who were forced to migrate here were shocked to see such a huge building.

From time to time, some people swallowed their saliva, extremely shocked.

Compared to their shock, Xin Qu did not feel the scale of Peking’s buildings was grand, but just felt they were ordinary.

Its specifications are not as good as those of the Forbidden City in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It just looks intimidating. In fact, if a few armories, government treasuries and internal warehouses are built, the building area will be used up.

"Stop the troops, quarantine, check the water source, and prevent the disease."

Xin Qu stepped out of the carriage and immediately gave the order.

For the next month, everyone will have to rest in Peking. Fortunately, the current military and political center of Yan State is located in Changping next door, and the densely populated area is also upstream. Otherwise, the 200,000 people brought from the west this time will be gathered together, and it will be quite troublesome to isolate them.

Therefore, a complete isolation zone has been designated now, and then a month will be used to allow these people to adapt to the local soil and climate, and to carry out land reclamation and construction, so as to implement what he wants to do during this period of time.

Especially reclamation.

After I finish the work, it will probably be spring.

It just connects seamlessly with spring ploughing.

However, before that, the speed of ditch digging must be increased, as well as the composting of silt and manure.

The number of composting sites also needs to be increased.

The project is huge.

Fortunately, he had ordered local reserves before the expedition, and had rushed to accumulate a batch of pottery jars, which were just right for distribution.

As a result, the Peking Swamp, which had been a little quiet, now began large-scale dredging and polder construction, and trees were also cut down.

The domestic dogs brought from the west also entered their first breeding period.

The puppies bred from these animals have also become a major feature of the northern market.

……

"In addition to the adjustments to the hegemony, there are also new arrangements between states and counties."

Xin Qu met alone with civil and military officials from all over Youzhou in a large camp in the city of Beiping, and announced the plans he had envisioned during this period.

Let them put forward their opinions and discuss the arrangements of the three-level administrative system of states, counties and districts.

As the population increases and the territory expands, the power of the generals will also grow. Therefore, their power should be divided, while at the same time, the generals should be allowed to save their energy and shift their focus.

From being in charge of both military and political affairs, he gradually shifted his focus to military affairs and assisting in government affairs.

This is not the Song Dynasty, and the population is not so large that it is necessary to perfect the separation of civil and military officials. The main theme for everyone is still to become a general or a prime minister.

And Xinqu also discovered that with his expedition, the administrative system in the rear had actually undergone a certain degree of alienation, or game.

The aristocratic system of the Qin and Han dynasties has officially entered the mainstream.

After all, the State of Yan evolved from the original system of vassal states, and the core bond that truly held power in this era was blood ties.

Xinqu's military title simply opened up a separate channel for advancement, singling out the monarch as a link between blood relatives and military aristocrats.

That is, the game referee.

When Xin Qu went on an expedition, all matters in the rear were handed over to the foreign relatives led by Queen Wu Xiaoye. As a result, the Feng nobles rose rapidly during this period.

The rise is accompanied by the encroachment of interests, so the Feng family has fought fiercely with other forces.

The Feng family's in-laws not only had to fight against the military nobles who rose from the lower classes, but also had to fight against the Yao family nobles from Xinqu's uncle's family.

In particular, the struggle between the Feng and Yao families was the main theme of the Xin family's court.

As for other forces, they are basically serving as generals outside and don't care about the affairs of Youzhou. They are happy to accept money from the Feng and Yao families, but they will not be happy if they are not paid. Anyway, they obey Xin Qu's arrangements.

Xinqu was not worried that they would really rebel, because around these generals outside, there were also a group of naturalized nobles who had risen from slaves, and they would also fight among themselves. In the game framework, Xinqu's arrangements have always advocated dynamic balance. Except for him, the monarch, no one can escape from his framework.

In short, after Xin Qu came back, he also saw the open and secret struggles between the Feng and Yao relatives.

Therefore, the first thing he did when he came back was to split the two factions again and bring all the factions from the Western Regions into this game framework. He even wanted to formally integrate the first and second waves of rising nobles.

Therefore, the next administrative division adjustment is the most important arrangement.

Before, he had arranged the county-level administrative divisions in a general way. The state unit was just an inheritance of the division of the Nine States after the Xia Dynasty. It was a separate state that was opened up to compete with Dayi Shang.

However, with the expansion of the country, an ambiguous Youzhou with more than a dozen counties could no longer meet its needs.

Then the states, counties, and districts have to be arranged.

He was not Emperor Wu of Han, who needed to negotiate with so many ministers for years. He only needed to use the excuse of rewarding his ministers after returning from a long expedition to promote everyone up a few levels, and then set up a ranking system of nine grades and eighteen levels, and easily finalize the framework of prefectures, counties and districts.

So when he saw the people coming back, Xin Qu spread out the map and said, "We have brought back nearly 300,000 people from the Western Regions. I'm afraid the total population of our Yan State has exceeded 500,000.

The food, drink, defecation and urination of these 300,000 people is a big problem.

Not only do we have to consider how to accommodate them, but we also have to consider the possible conflicts arising from the differences between Eastern and Western customs, as well as their management issues.

In other words, our current talent and manpower are no longer sufficient to support our management.

So, I decided to further improve the system.

First, there is the issue of the Left and Right Guards of Youzhou. From now on, each state will arrange left and right guards, with each guard having 100,000 people, who will be responsible for the promotion and naturalization of public slaves.

The slave class was divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D.

Only when the slaves of levels A and B are confirmed can they be sent to the lottery to fulfill the original promise of the court, especially the needs of disabled veterans.

Of course, you can also spend money to purchase slaves of the C and D grades, but they need to be tested and selected every year. Only slaves who reach the A and B grades are eligible to go to the battlefield with the army. "

Xin Qu used his ultimate move and further refined the slave hierarchy under the existing title system.

Levels A and B are equivalent to the original naturalized people and can go to the battlefield, while levels C and D are specifically responsible for work and production to improve production efficiency.

"As for how to upgrade the slave level, this group of people will be dealt with according to military control, so a battle is needed. But it is not a military battle, but a production battle. Therefore, in order to avoid criticism, I am considering refining the slave level.

Finally, the children born to slaves of levels A and B can be taken care of by themselves.

The children of the Bing and Ding grades will be taken in by the Fubo Colonel, the Conghu Colonel, and the Huqiang Colonel to supplement the three colonels. "

After Xin Qu finished speaking, the ministers just frowned slightly but did not deny it.

"As for the original naturalized people, they will be strictly controlled. All naturalized people who are registered in the household register will be naturalized forever unless they were born in the country. If their sons and brothers are born after they are registered, the sons will be promoted for the merits of their fathers, the younger brothers will be promoted for the merits of their elder brothers, and the nephews will be promoted for the merits of their uncles. If there are no merits, they will not be promoted."

Xinqu further strictly controlled the promotion program for naturalized people.

Previously, naturalized people could be promoted quickly through military merit, but now this opportunity is gone.

However, Xin Qu did not limit their opportunities for promotion. Instead, he made it clear that naturalized people were equivalent to green cards and could only participate in simple social operations. They had no chance of being promoted or becoming officials. At most, they could be given a certain degree of tax reduction (but in fact, it was only slightly better than slaves. The highest level of naturalized people paid 5% of the tax, and common people paid 3% of the tax), allowing them to invest their capital in the operation of the family and the cultivation of their descendants.

That is to say, after making meritorious service, any child born after settling in the State of Yan will be able to achieve a breakthrough.

Merit inheritance.

Therefore, this is a test of the offspring's ability. If they don't have the ability, they may be killed.

Therefore, Xin Qu did not have to figure out how to match and how to select. The naturalized people would first send their outstanding children to the Yan government. This would save a lot of expenses and also provide Yan with a large number of high-quality next-generation labor force.

Be it being an official or a soldier, Xin Qu's idea now is very simple. The population is too large, there are limited vacancies, and there are too many foreign ethnic groups. Differentiation and screening are necessary, and the previous barbaric growth period must end.

Now we need to start pinching the tips precisely.

As for whether the father would take away the merits and then divide them equally among his descendants, making them all commoners.

Xin Qu said this is the best!

It also saves you from having to worry about a large number of local powerful families emerging.

In the court, some people who had naturalized early breathed a sigh of relief.

Ok!

They caught up! (End of this chapter)
