Saint Immortal Way

Chapter 567 Daotai

How to establish the South China Sea State is a science. The institutional system is like the cornerstone, frame and beams of a house. Without the institutional system, the country will not be a country.

Lu Yang divided the entire large archipelago into ten regions, and the central archipelago where Xuanming Palace is located is Zhongjing Road, including capitals such as Shengshui City.The rest of the Quartet Islands are divided into nine regions.

They are Qingping Road, Yunluo Road, Bohai Road, Suhai Road, Leiyun Road, Guanhe Road, Sanshan Road, Yuhu Road, and Hainan Road.

Lu Yang and Li Ruoshui discussed in detail the construction of the ten roads. The ten roads focused on Zhongjing Road.In Shengshui City, a palace was set up to exercise the royal power and give ten orders.

Li Ruoshui hung up the large map of the Great Sea Islands, which clearly divided into ten plates, and there were ten land boundaries.Among them, Zhongjing Road is the smallest, and Hainan Road is the most extensive.

Ten roads away, there is a vast ocean. Although there are scattered small islands, they are uninhabited. It is meaningless to set up roads, but the entire Great South China Sea, even the ocean, is the sea area of ​​the South China Sea.

"My lord, the boundaries of the ten lands have been divided, who do you plan to send down to establish the ten yamen?" Li Ruoshui said.

"How about this, you and a few priests are high-ranking and powerful, and you will open a mansion in the palace, be the old minister of the cabinet, and take an overview of the affairs of the South China Sea!" Lu Yang laughed.

Li Ruoshui smiled, nodded and said: "Very good, I thought the prince was going to leave my Xuanming Palace behind!"

"How is it possible?" Lu Yang shook his head, "After all, the South China Sea Archipelago is the territory of the water god Xuanming. Although I took the South China Sea Kingdom by laying eggs with chickens, the Xuanming Palace has contributed a lot. If there is no Xuanming Palace, we How to unite the hearts of Nanhai, how to inform Nanhai?"

"It's good for the lord to know!" Li Ruoshui smiled and said, "The lord has not made a statement these few days. I guess the priests are already anxiously waiting?"

"Haha..." Lu Yang laughed loudly, patted Li Ruoshui's naughty buttocks, and said, "What are you thinking? How can I be the kind of person who crosses rivers and destroys bridges? The priests are all wise and far-sighted people. Understand what Lu Yang is like!"

Li Ruoshui glanced at Lu Yang, patted Lu Yang's dishonest hand, and said somewhat resentfully: "Yes, yes, yes, the priests know what the prince is like, but they don't know that the prince is sometimes too dishonest!"

Lu Yang laughed triumphantly, and shyly withdrew his salty pig's hand.The pleasure of the boudoir is another matter, where is there any talk of honesty or dishonesty?

Lu Yang coughed and said sternly: "Although this king is in charge of the royal power, someone will always make decisions, right? There must always be someone to implement them? If I don't rely on Xuanming Palace, my government order may not be smooth!"

Li Ruoshui nodded and said as a matter of course: "After all, Xuanming Palace has ruled the South China Sea Islands for thousands of years, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If the prince wants to establish the South China Sea Kingdom, he must inherit the lineage of the South China Sea Kingdom. Xuanming Palace must be attached to it, so that it can be stable!"

"I still understand this truth! Just call the five priests over, and I will explain it clearly to them!" Lu Yang patted the back of Li Ruoshui's hand to comfort him.

"That's good!" Li Ruoshui beckoned to his servants, and ordered the five priests to come over immediately.

There are more than a dozen priests in the Water God Xuanming Palace, but after several turmoil, there are only five priests left in charge of the entire Xuanming Palace. What is rare is that they all support Li Ruoshui, the saint.

After a while, five priests arrived one after another.

Lu Yang opened his mouth and said: "The purpose of summoning a few priests today is to establish the status of Xuanming Palace and the arrangement of several priests!"

"Your Majesty, please order!" said the leading priest.

"Okay!" Lu Yang calmed down, and said: "Several seniors have also seen that the situation of using the Xuanming Palace to command the Sifang Islands in the past is indeed not ideal. Because there is no clear organizational system, this junior wants to establish it outside the Xuanming Palace. The royal mansion concentrates the kingship, and the large archipelago is divided into ten roads, namely Zhongjing Road, Qingping Road, Yunluo Road, Bohai Road, Suhai Road, Leiyun Road, Guanhe Road, Sanshan Road, Yuhu Road, and Hainan Road."

Lu Yang pointed to the map of the South China Sea Islands that was hung high up. The ten boundaries were clearly visible in his mind. It was indeed much clearer and more detailed than the previous division of the Sifang Islands. [

The five priests looked at it and nodded, obviously approving the division.

"Juniors in every district plan to set up yamen and green camps to manage and suppress the place..." Lu Yang continued, explaining the detailed plan for setting up yamen.

The eyes of the five priests lit up slightly, obviously agreeing.Lu Yang smiled slightly, understanding that these priests usually manage the Xuanming Palace. Apart from worshiping the water god devoutly, they rarely think about how to rule such things, so they don't know much about the Yamen.

But it can be denied that the establishment of yamen in each province will bring the control of each place into the palm of your hand.

"My lord, there is no problem in establishing the palace and ten yamen. The key is the palace and the Xuanming palace. In the future, my Xuanming palace will belong to the palace?" The leading priest frowned, and the other four priests also looked worried. Obviously they are worried that they will lose their previous power, if so, the loss will be great.

Not only that, Xuanming Palace will lose its supremacy in the future.

Lu Yang waved his hands and said: "Seniors, rest assured, the juniors will definitely give an explanation to the seniors. Let's talk about the Xuanming Palace first. It is the palace of the water god Xuanming, and its functions have become pure. It is only responsible for preaching. What's wrong... I know that the seniors are worried that Xuanming Palace will lose power!"

The five priests were a little embarrassed, but they still nodded.

Now that Lu Yang is in the limelight, he has already surpassed their Xuanming Palace. In Shengshui City, Lu Yang's elite soldiers are enough to sweep the entire South China Sea Islands, let alone a water god Xuanming Palace. If Lu Yang really If they want to go their own way, there is actually no way for them to stop them.

Lu Yang chuckled and comforted: "Seniors, don't worry, Lu Yang is not the kind of person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges. How about this? My plan is to let several seniors serve as the high priests of the Xuanming Palace and concurrently serve as the elder ministers of the palace. , take charge of decision-making, let's take this as a permanent example, so that the seniors don't have to worry about the power of the Xuanming Palace, right?"

The five priests were overjoyed and quickly agreed.

"I don't know how many old cabinet ministers there are in the palace?"

"For balance, there are twelve people in total. In general, there are six people on my side, and the high priests of Xuanming Palace plus the saintess, there are also six seats!" Lu Yang thought about it.

"It's so good, I thank the prince for his trust!" Several priests quickly thanked.

Lu Yang waved his hand: "Without the Xuanming Palace, my royal palace can't manage the Nanhai Kingdom, so I still want to thank you, the younger generation. As long as we are of one heart and one mind, the Nanhai Kingdom will be as stable as a rock!"

"We all understand what the prince means!" The priests deeply agreed.

Lu Yang paused, and then said: "The ten yamen down below, five of the priests should also come out, and I also want five to come out from my king's side, to serve as the Taoist platform, manage and suppress the place, and the place where the king's mansion operates, in the end it will be Rely on them, so the candidates must be cautious!"

"Thank you, my lord!" The priests were overjoyed again. According to Lu Yang's intention, Lu Yang's faction and Xuanming Palace's faction can be regarded as a perfect balance. From now on, Xuanming Palace will be responsible for offering sacrifices and preaching, while the palace will concentrate royal power and rule the ten kingdoms of the South China Sea. place.

This sacrificial offering and kingship are completely separated. From now on, offering sacrifices is offering sacrifices, and kingship is kingship.

This way is good, Xuanming Palace will save a lot of trouble, but letting the five priests of Xuanming Palace come out will cause headaches for several priests.

If Daotai was in the Great Kuang Dynasty, it would be equivalent to a governor, and what they needed was wisdom in management. They didn't have such talents in Xuanming Palace.

The priests looked at the saint, and Li Ruoshui smiled and said, "It's enough for the smart ones to come out. If you are an official, you just have a big idea. Naturally, there are people around to help you, so nothing big will happen!"

Lu Yang nodded, and said with a smile: "The seniors don't have to worry about it. There are juniors who sit in the South Sea Kingdom, and there will be no major problems no matter what. Isn't it just a few Taoists? As long as they are smart, they can be good!"

"I'll wait until I find out. After I have considered it, I will report the personnel in a few days!" The priests were about to resign.

Lu Yang distributed the regulations of the palace and Daotai to everyone one by one, and sent them off.

Following Lu Yang's order, the corps under his command immediately moved into action, mobilized ten elite soldiers to form the first batch of green camps, with 5000 people, and set up camps in ten places in batches.

At the same time, ten Daotai and a group of auxiliary personnel also set off from Shengshui City to the corresponding area to repair the yamen, hire laborers, and build the city.

A lot of money was thrown out, shaking the entire South China Sea archipelago, and some islanders who were not living well came to build cities one after another.

Notices were posted one by one, and people were arranged to preach the content of the notices at noon every day. Only then did many people understand that the South China Sea archipelago was officially called the South China Sea Kingdom, and Lu Yang officially became the king of the South China Sea. Set up Yamen, the Prime Minister Nanhai.

There are mixed opinions about this. Some powerful families are naturally outraged and dare not speak out. They are very aware of Lu Yang's deterrent power. In the entire South China Sea, there is no opponent of the King of the South China Sea, so the King of the South China Sea is the only powerful one. He said What is what is what, everyone has to listen, if you encounter bad luck, you don't know how bad luck will be!

And the islanders below are naturally supportive. Since Lu Yang came to the South China Sea Islands, life seems to be getting better, and there are enough food trades everywhere. No one can starve to death. This is indeed better than before.

In Taiping City, Qingping Road, there were people coming and going on the street, and a group of green battalions of thousands of people ran to open the way. Luo Jun, wearing a blue official robe, walked to the yamen that was being built quickly.

Looking up, most of the yamen has been repaired, and many craftsmen are shouting, building in full swing.Under a few big green trees on the side of the street, a few women set up a big pot and cooked it on fire. In a big pot, the overcooked beef rolled in it, and bursts of aroma came out from time to time.

"Okay, along the way, it's getting more and more prosperous!" Luo Jun smiled, he is no longer a hermit, but an official.Originally, he was able to enter the palace to serve as the old minister of the cabinet and take charge of major affairs in various parts of the South China Sea, but in the end he still asked to be appointed as the Qingping Daotai, so that his tenure as an official would benefit one side.

This is also a long-cherished wish of a Confucian, so he naturally cannot avoid it.

Luo Jun has traveled to the eleven prefectures of Dakuang in recent years, and his knowledge and wisdom are first-class, and his reputation is also high. Now he is appointed as the Qingping Daotai of the South China Sea, and he is naturally full of ambitions.

He has already made a comprehensive consideration, and he is full of confidence in how to govern Qingping Dao. He only needs to give him three years, and everyone in Qingping Dao can live and work in peace. If you give him five years, everyone in Qingping Dao can have food and clothing.

Luo Jun was followed by Luo Lin, she said with a smile: "Senior brother, it's time for us to show off. In Yanzhou, we all saw how the prince managed the place with his bare hands. Not as good as the prince, but not too bad, right?"

Luo Jun nodded and smiled: "Okay, you can follow me to do business with peace of mind. After three to five years, I must give you a platform to do it!"

"Really?!" Luo Lin was surprised and delighted.

"It's true, don't you envy those women Taoists who came out of Xuanming Palace? But the premise is that you have to do things with your heart. I will only do it for you when I see you put your heart into it. When the time comes, I guess I will You can enter the palace and be an old minister!" Luo Jun chuckled.

Luo Lin repeatedly assured that it was true that she was envious of the five female Taoists who came out of Xuanming Palace.Speaking of which, this is the difference between the Nanhai Kingdom and the Great Kuang Dynasty. Lu Yang has great courage, and the atmosphere of the Nanhai Kingdom is much more open than that of the Great Kuang Dynasty. On the issue of appointing officials, Lu Yang did something that shocked the world. The most important thing is that five women were appointed in one go, and there were also five women among the cabinet ministers. Such appointments really set a precedent for women's politics.

The Nanhai King's Mansion has also become a rather strange power governing institution, discussed by Confucianists in the eleven states of the dynasty.However, Lu Yang will not change it. Except for the establishment of a vassal king, the affairs of Nanhai Kingdom are completely up to him, and outsiders have the right to interfere.
