In February of the fourth year of Chuping, everything was ready, Yuan Shu immediately ordered his civil and military officials to start implementing a new official system, and at the same time spread the newly stipulated laws all over the country, so that the people under his rule would know it.

Yuan Shu's change was very thorough, with detailed arrangements from county magistrates to soldiers.

First of all, General Yuan Shu completely separated his military and political affairs, and the army did not interfere in politics, and politics was not the same as the army.

In terms of government affairs, there are eight departments, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Commerce. Each department has different rights and responsibilities.

Ministry of Personnel: in charge of the assessment, promotion, transfer of officials in various places, and Shangshu Yan Xiang;

Ministry of Revenue: in charge of the salaries of officials in various places, counting population, household registration, drawing maps, and Secretary Li Feng;

Ministry of Public Security: In charge of the arrest of thieves and arrests in various places and maintaining public order, Shangshu Yang Hong;

Ministry of Justice: in charge of justice, accepting cases, picking up the culprits, and handling civil disputes in various places. Shangshu Man Chong;

Ministry of Rites: in charge of sacrifice, rituals, education, and Shangshu Lu Kang (although he is old, but he can still use it);

Ministry of Agriculture: in charge of agriculture, water conservancy and other affairs in various places, and is also responsible for popularizing advanced farming technology, Shangshu Han Yin;

Ministry of Industry: is in charge of scientific and technological development, and records patents reported by the public, Shangshu Mo Yun (mentioned above);

Ministry of Commerce: In charge of trade in various places and ensure that road checkpoints are usually the same, Shangshu Jin Shang;

The eight ministries need to set up branches in various places to ensure the smooth flow of local policies.

Gu Yong is the prime minister and Zhang Zhao is the deputy prime minister. He is responsible for all the things in the eight departments. Unless there are major things, you can make a choice by yourself and there is no need to report to Yuan Shu.

In addition, there are two other departments in addition to eight departments, namely the Supervision Department and the Finance Department.

The Supervision Department is responsible for supervising officials and generals from all over the country. If any person who embezzles and accepts bribes, knows that the law breaks the law, or abuses power, he will immediately report it to the Ministry of Justice for disposal. The Secretary of State is Zhang Hong.

The Finance Department is responsible for collecting taxes and food savings from various places, and at the same time distributing funds and salaries of officials from various departments. Even the expenses of the army are arranged by him. The Secretary of the State is Yuan Feng (the housekeeper of the Yuan family, of course, the money bag must be in the hands of his own family).

These two departments are only responsible to Yuan Shu.

In terms of military affairs, Yuan Shu also refined it into four departments, namely operations, logistics, staff and intelligence.

The generals were only responsible for combat and training troops; the Logistics Department directly withdraws from the Finance Department, and of course they had to explain the purpose, and the Finance Department would also send people to conduct verification; the General Staff Department Yuan Shu handed over to Xun You, such as Zhang Hong, Man Chong, Yan Xiang and others, all of whom were staff members; the Intelligence Department was under the charge of Feng Ji.

In fact, Yuan Shu's candidate in charge of intelligence was Jia Xu from Chang'an. Although Feng Ji was good, he was still much worse than Jia Duyan.

Unfortunately, Jia Xu had not yet served, so Yuan Shu could only let Feng Ji take responsibility.

Finally, Yuan Shu carried out another currency rectification.

As today's chaos is coming, prices in various places soar, and Wuzhu coins are depreciating greatly. Although Yuan Shu's rule is relatively calm, it has also been affected to a certain extent.

So, Yuan Shu ordered people to return all the Wuzhu coins to cast them into newer coins, re-establish prices, and then forcibly exchange coins with the public.

At the same time, Yuan Shu minted gold coins, silver coins, one gold coins exchanged for one hundred silver coins, and one silver coins exchanged for one thousand copper coins.

In this way, even if wealthy families in other places bring a large amount of Wuzhu coins to Yuan Shu, they will not have a huge impact on prices, which will ensure the interests of most people.

Yuan Shu called the order, and all the places under his rule started to operate, and it was a busy scene.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuan Shu made arrangements for the newly appointed civil and military personnel. Needless to say, Man Chong served in the Ministry of Justice. Lu Qian, who accompanied him, was sent to Xiangyang by Yuan Shu to assist in the Wenpeng.

After obtaining Jiangdong, Yuan Shu's next goal was Jingzhou, and he sent Lu Qian to Xiangyang, but he was preparing to seize Jingzhou in the future. Mao Jie stayed in Shouchun to help Xu Chu train his army.

As for Liu Ye, Yuan Shu stayed by his side, now serving as a staff officer, and also served under Mo Yun, the Ministry of Works.

Jiangdong Jiang, Zhou, Dong, and He four generals, Yuan Shu kept Dong Xi, He Qi assisted Wei Yan, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai were transferred back to Shouchun by him and made other arrangements.

As early as after conquering Huainan, Yuan Shu was determined to establish a naval army and even ordered Mo Yun to secretly study new warships.

However, the training of naval forces is different from infantry and cavalry. Without good generals, it is absolutely impossible to train a strong naval army. Due to the lack of good naval generals, Yuan Shu has always supported this matter. Even Mo Yun has successfully developed a new warship, but Yuan Shu still failed to find a good naval general.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai's appearance solved Yuan Shu's urgent need.

When the two arrived in Shouchun, Yuan Shu ordered him to form a navy army without saying a word, with a preliminary 20,000 and an increase as appropriate in the future. The army was temporarily trained in Chaohu.

Jiang and Zhou were overjoyed and were even more grateful for Yuan Shu's attention.

Then, the two began to select soldiers and went to Chaohu for training.

He recruited another 20,000 troops, and Yuan Shu already had an army of 250,000.

After conquering Jiangdong, Yuan Shu captured a large number of surrendered soldiers, and the number of troops expanded greatly.

For this reason, Yuan Shu ordered the troops in various places to be reorganized, and all the thin and weak people were eliminated, and most of them were included in the reformed Ministry of Public Security, leaving only strong soldiers.

Wancheng, Runan and Xiangyang still have 30,000 troops stationed in each of them; Lujiang County and Wancheng left 10,000 troops; Jiangdong important areas were stationed in 50,000 troops; Shouchun had 80,000 troops, plus 20,000 naval troops, a total of 250,000 troops.

After arranging the affairs of the navy, Yuan Shu was completely idle. The reform was handled by Gu Yong, Xun You and others. This year, it was not suitable for going to war, so Yuan Shu was idle and teased his son and daughter all day long, and was happy.

At this time, Yuan Shu didn't know that a crisis gradually approached him.

...

When Liu Biao learned that Yuan Shu was named General Pingnan, he was shocked when he controlled Yang, Jing and Yu.

After gathering together to discuss, Liu Biao said worriedly: "Yuan Shu has always been eyeing Jingzhou. Now that he has a court enthronement and has occupied great justice, he may invade our Jingzhou soon. How do you think we should deal with it?"

Although everyone was talking, they had no choice but to do anything.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang went out and said, "If Yuan Shu wanted to attack Jingzhou, there were only two ways to go. One was to send troops from Xiangyang to attack Jiangling; the other was to send troops from Jiangdong to Yuzhang and attack Jiangxia."

Speaking of this, Kuai Liang glanced at everyone in the scene, and then continued: "Liu Yao, the prefect of Yuzhang, is an alliance with us. Moreover, in the previous Jiangdong battle, he formed a great hatred with Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu came to attack, Liu Yao would definitely resist to the death. Therefore, Yuzhang ignored all the way, and the only thing he really wanted to deal with was the army along Xiangyang."

"What's the trick of Zirou?" Liu Biao asked hurriedly.

Kuai Liang smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry! What a strong city in Jiangling? Even if Yuan Shu has a million troops, why should we be afraid?"

"That's it! However, Yuan Shu was able to occupy Jiangdong in just a few months, and his military strength was evident. We may not be our opponent." Liu Biao's face was full of worry.

Seeing Liu Biao's expression, Kuai Liang couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Now that Yuan Shu hasn't come, Liu Biao has just this expression. If Yuan Shu really comes to attack, Liu Biao will still run away without looking for the wind?

Although he was disappointed with Liu Biao, Kuai Liang always remembered Liu Biao's kindness to him, calmed down and said, "Yuan Shu has won Jiangdong in a new way, and it is not stable yet. Good news that he will not have any actions this year, even next year, I'm afraid it will be the same."

When Liu Biao heard this, he felt relieved.

Kuai Liang frowned and looked at Liu Biao and said, "My lord should not be careless! Although Yuan Shu doesn't come at this time, it will not be certain in the future. The lord should take advantage of Yuan Shu's stable rule to advance to Xiangyang. As long as we have Xiangyang, we can defend Xiangjiang and no longer be afraid of Yuan Shu."

Liu Biao was stunned. He was extremely lucky that Yuan Shu had not come. Now he still wanted him to attack Yuan Shu. Liu Biao could not imagine that if Yuan Shu got angry and led his troops to take revenge, he might have died without a place to bury him.

Kuai Liang knew what Liu Biao was thinking when he saw his expression and said, "The lord may not be able to win alone, but if he joins the other princes to attack Yuan Shu, there may not be no chance of victory."

Liu Biao's eyes lit up and he asked, "Who do Zirou thinks he should form an alliance with?"

"Xuzhou Tao Qian!" Kuai Liang said firmly.

"Tao Qian?" Liu Biao whispered.

"That's right!" Kuai Liang bowed and said, "Guangling City under Xuzhou is located behind Huainan, before Jiangdong, and it is like a sharp thorn piercing behind Yuan Shu. If Liang was Yuan Shu, he would definitely remove this sharp thorn, otherwise he would be unable to sleep or eat."

Speaking of this, Kuai Liang's meaning is already very obvious.

If Yuan Shu wants to remove this sharp thorn, he will definitely offend Tao Qian, which gives Liu Biao the opportunity to join forces with Tao Qian to deal with Yuan Shu.

"Tao Qian is old and timid, and I'm afraid he may not dare to offend Yuan Shu." Liu Biao frowned.

"You are not much better!" Kuai Liang slandered and said confidently: "Don't worry, lord! As long as Tao Qian still wants to protect Xuzhou's foundation, he will definitely join forces with the lord."

Liu Biao hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Let this matter be handled by Zirou. Be sure to persuade Tao Qian and I to join forces to fight against Yuan Shu."

Kuai Liang smiled with relief. Although Liu Biao was indeed a "rabbit" who ate grass by his nest, the scholar died for his confidant. Kuai Liang had decided to assist Liu Biao for his whole life.
