Chapter 659 Transformation
Taipu Temple, one of the Nine Temples, was responsible for raising imperial horses and providing carriages and ceremonial guards for important occasions for the royal family.

Subordinate officials: one each of the third rank Taifusi Qing, the fourth rank Taifusi Shaoqing, the sixth rank Taifusi Shangcheng, the fifth rank Taifusi Yuanwailang, and the sixth rank Taifusi Zhubu. The subordinate departments included the Chariot and Vehicle Department (in charge of providing chariots and carriages as well as escorting chariots), the Horse Department (in charge of dispatching imperial horses; distinguishing the good from the bad for use in the military and the country), the Herdsmen Department (in charge of feeding horses and cattle, providing miscellaneous livestock, and collecting taxes on herdsmen), the Pastoral Department (in charge of providing the livestock and butter, cheese, dried meat and preserved food. The calves sent by the herdsmen were used for the supply of sacrificial offerings and food for the emperor), the Chariot Department (in charge of the chariots and vehicles for the princes and below, as well as the methods of training and driving them), the Saddle and Rein Department (in charge of the gold and jade saddles and reins for the imperial horses, the saddles and reins for the army, and the saddles and reins given to the princes, ministers, foreign envoys, and state messengers), the Camel and Chariot Department (in charge of raising miscellaneous livestock for carrying loads and transportation), the Game Farm Department (in charge of dispatching and training elephants, beasts and birds), the Horse Safety Department (in charge of treating horses and beasts, and teaching students), and the Skinning Department (in charge of slaughtering cattle, camels, donkeys, mules, etc. if the horses were in bad condition).

Referring to the official system of Tang and Song dynasties and combining it with the "Gao Domestic Treasury Books" sent by his grandfather-in-law, Zhao Zhen, Wu Yong, Chai Jin and others combined the Liang State's own situation and set up ten offices in the Imperial Household Department.

Each of the ten offices has one magistrate, whose rank is seventh rank; one secretary, whose rank is eighth rank; and one chief clerk, whose rank is ninth rank.

The officials such as the Minister of the Imperial Household Department and the Vice Minister of the Imperial Household Department were temporarily vacant, and even the ten departments were not complete.

The supervisor of the Chariot and Horse Bureau was Bai Waerhan, the supervisor of the Qiji Bureau was Duan Jingzhu, and the supervisor of the Herdsman Bureau was also Duan Jingzhu, who was concurrently in charge of the Herdsman Bureau. Under him were the Herdsman Supervisors Li You, Chao Cuo, Wu Sanniang, Wu Gulun, and Tuoergu, who were in charge of Yangmadao, Qingqiu Horse Farm in Qiancheng County, Nanmafang in Linzi County, and Lushan Ranch respectively. In addition, the ninth-rank managers Zhu Yuanpeng, Zhao Tuan, Wu He, and Tang Sen were in charge of the pig farm, goose farm, and chicken farm respectively. They raised large-scale Dapulian pigs, Tuhe black pigs, Wulong geese, Baizi geese, Shitou geese, and white-feathered chickens for use.

The chief supervisor of the Anji Office was the Purple Bearded Earl Huangfu Duan, who also served as a doctor of veterinary medicine. Sun Ji, Sun Pi and Sun Shan also served as veterinarians of the ninth rank. The chief supervisor of the Pi Pei Office was the Surgeon-wielding Ghost Cao Zheng.

As for the [Game Park Office], it merged the elephant house, deer park, and eagle house, and the supervisor was Zhao Shiqilang. The animals raised there were elephants, deer roe deer, falcons, parrots, white-naped cranes, Kangguo hounds, palace lion dogs, Shih Tzus, as well as some other species that were still being bred, such as the white chicken of the Langshan Mountain, the ridge-spotted reed chicken, and the mountain red dog. Once they reached a certain scale, they would be sent to the [Group Animal Husbandry Office] to set up a new farm.

The Dianmu Office, the Chariot Office, etc. only had government offices but no staff.

After reading the [Gao Guo Ku Shu], Zhao Zhen and others found that the previous idea of ​​following the Tang and Song system could not meet the current situation. First, Liang State did not have so many talent reserves. Second, on the [Floating Continent], as long as your level was high enough, you could theoretically live forever.

It was only after Ji Qingwan reminded them that Zhao Zhen and others changed their minds.

It is best to place specific people in specific positions.

For example, Duan Jingzhu and Huangfu Duan, who worked under Zhao Zhen, could also serve as the Minister of the Imperial Household Department and the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household Department. However, since they were not officials, they could not advance even if they served. It would be better for them to be a supervisor and do their work with peace of mind.

In addition to official positions, all countries on the [Floating Continent] have their own miscellaneous officials, honorary officials, and titles, and their respective salaries are related to the miscellaneous officials, honorary officials, and titles.

Take the Imperial Household Department as an example. The salary of the Imperial Household Department Minister was not necessarily higher than that of Huangfu Duan, the Purple Bearded Earl, who was the Supervisor of the Anji Office. The Imperial Household Department Minister was more responsible for managing the Imperial Household Department and cooperating with other departments.

For example, when Zhao Zhen ordered the formation of a cavalry battalion, he ordered the Imperial Household Department to allocate horses and saddles. The Imperial Household Department would check the account books and assign the [Group Herdsman Office] to allocate war horses and other items from subordinate ranches. Domestication and breeding were the responsibilities of each ranch. The Imperial Household Department was only responsible for overall supervision.

Of course, in addition to the Imperial Household Department, the Ministry of War will also have the Ministry of War, which also has the responsibility of supervision. In addition, the Court of Remonstrance and the Imperial Censorate are responsible for preventing illegal activities.

For this purpose, Ji Qingwan also asked Zhao Zhen for the position of Sigong Ling of the [Palace Department] to take charge of the affairs of the palace.

Of course, you don't have to have a corresponding profession to be an official. As long as you use your luck to confer an official title, you can also be promoted to a higher level in this position. For example, to confer an official title on the queen, there were too many prompts after the founding of the country, and Zhao Zhen couldn't take care of them all at once. He added several new official offices in the Imperial Household Department, such as the You Office, An Ji Office, and the Pi Bo Office, which actually cost 1000 points of luck.

Zhao Zhen looked through the world log and found that when he re-established the Medical Department as the Imperial Academy of Medical Officers, he actually deducted 100 points of luck. After carefully looking through the [Gao Domestic Library Book], he found that in addition to the official system selected when the country was founded, the establishment of new government offices and the conferment of titles all cost luck. If it does not cost luck, the government office can naturally be established, but the people who do the work will advance slowly.

The good news is that when manifested, all heroes have a blessing of luck in their current positions. If there is no change, in addition to their own profession, there is also a blessing of official position.

In the past few days, just conferring titles on the four concubines cost 3600 points of luck, and 4000 points on the five concubines.

It is actually based on the grade, 900 points for the first grade, 800 points for the second grade...

Offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, and establishing a nation, increased the total by 50,000 points. Zhao Zhen did not pay attention to it at the time. After the enthronement, he looked at the luck again and thought that the luck did not increase that much. Zhao Zhen quickly turned on the world log inquiry reminder to prevent similar situations from happening again.

After discussing the Imperial Household Department, Liu Hui Niang suddenly said, "Your Majesty, if we talk about the most important thing, is it to recast the copper coins?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned.

Wu Yong nodded and said, "What Empress Xiurong said is right. The new dynasty has just been established, and it is imperative to mint copper coins. There are a lot of copper mines in Laiwu Prefecture, Yanzhou, and Linyi Prefecture, Yizhou, which can be used to mint copper coins."

"However, the copper coins used in the country now have been in use for many dynasties. Do we also need to exchange them and recast them?"

Liu Hui Niang said: "Recasting copper coins will cost 10%. And it will take a lot of time to collect and exchange them. However, recasting is imperative. In the future, we can't let people use copper coins to exchange our products. From now on, only our copper coins will be accepted."

Regarding trading with other countries, Zhao Zhen also didn't know what the future process would be.

Liu Hui Niang said, "I checked the ancient books and found that there is a Baofeng Mint in Xuzhou. It used to mint copper coins and there should be many minters there. Your Majesty can send someone to find them and choose a place to re-establish the Mint."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Laiwu Prison has copper and is not close to the border, so it is naturally the first choice."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's also set up one in Linyi, and cast coins at the same time. In this way, we can quickly exchange the copper coins of various dynasties. When the time comes, we can also set up a money house in Liangshan to melt the old copper coins."
