Chapter 274 The first step in the founding of the country
Zhao Xing took Xu Jie and Le Yi and were driven back to Dai County by Zhao's ministers in disguise. They did not feel humiliated, but felt that they were more relaxed to be free from the constraints.
In the lobby of Dai County, all these subordinates, including their own Andaloudi, were not angry because Zhao Xing was expelled by Zhao State in disguise, but were extremely happy.
Everyone took the initiative to change their name to Zhao Xing, no longer called Zhao Xing Jun and Lord Shang, but directly called Zhao Xing Jun.
Zhao Xing held Loudi's hand and asked: "My good brother, are you willing to join my team? We once again started from poverty and white, and launched a new princely country, and played—" After pondering for a long time, he raised his head and looked at the hopeful eyes at the bottom of the building: "Would you like to follow me and create a unified world including this vast grassland?"
As soon as these words came out, the lobby was silent.
Loudi slowly knelt in front of Zhao Xing. The man on the grassland was not full of bold words. This was according to the highest etiquette in the Central Plains, and kowtowed to Zhao Xing, and his voice trembled: "Your Majesty."
With this title, the entire lobby immediately burst into earth-shaking cheers.
The Tang Kingdom was not poor but had a vast grassland land, which would be the foundation for unifying the world.
Zhao Xing sat upright in the lobby and solemnly announced. "I have paused for a moment" and reached an agreement with the king of Zhao. They allowed us to continue to recuperate in Dai County for three years. After three years, they will lend us 50,000 cavalry to help us capture Linhu, and then go south to occupy Hexi County. Help us establish our Tang Dynasty."
The ministers raised their arms and shouted: "Da Tang, Da Tang, Da Tang."
"In order to adapt to our future founding of the country, I have now decided to divide the Tang Empire into two institutions under the cabinet, one is the General's Mansion and the General, and Loudi is responsible for it."
Loudi immediately stepped forward and delayed: "My good Anda, Ah, my lord, I am the one who leads troops to fight and charge in battle, there is no problem, but if I am in charge of command, it will ruin the lord's affairs. I will never do this position."
Zhao Xing looked at this sincere brother and finally pondered: "Then I will adjust the structure of the General's Mansion. The General is still my good brother Loudi, but two deputy generals are set up below, Zhao She and Le Yi." Seeing that Loudi still refuses, Zhao Xing said directly. "The General is in charge of the whole country's army. We will follow the Zhou Li, the Six Army of the Emperor, and the Three Armed Forces of the Prince. In addition to Lin Hu's Poxi Army, we will establish three armies, but the scale is 60,000, all of which are cavalry. They are led by Le Yi, Zhao She and Zhao Wuji. The third division garrison army is established, with each division 10,000 garrisons in various places. The national army is controlled by me and dispatched by General Loudi."
The generals immediately burst into cheers like wolves howling.
"The Prime Minister's Office is established at the same level as the General's Office, and will help Xu Jie and control the national government affairs."
Xu Jie, who delayed the title of Zhao State and restored his status as a scholar again, was not depressed, but was more eager to try. This time he was finally satisfied with the position of helping each other, and naturally he was a dignified nobleman.
"The other six ministries and nine ministers are all under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Office. Because we are no longer the lords of the army, we are the country, so now you are all Shangshu, and your salary increases in turn."
The civil servants forgot the etiquette of the scholars and cared for indulge in love.
They did not revel in their salary increase, but they cheered for their improved status. They were no longer vassals, but monarchs and ministers, and the first hero in the Tang Empire's expansion of territory.
"The General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are responsible to the cabinet, and the cabinet is responsible to me."
All the ministers agreed to the promise together, and Yin Qi was so excited that his beard shook.
After arranging this, Zhao Xing officially announced: "Don't cheer, because our good days are over. Now we will start rolling up our sleeves and working hard, giving up enjoyment, and doing our best to make the most preparations for the founding battle three years later."
The people in the cabinet stood behind Yin Qi, facing the king and the queen, waiting for the next specific task.
Tofu Xishi was very excited. He went from being a tofu seller to the most noble woman in the Tang Empire in the future. He knew that he had a great responsibility, and at the same time he knew what kind of person his husband was. There was no saying that women interfered in politics, so he said to Xu Jie seriously: "You guy is the most sinister. Now we need countless money and food to build a country. So your first task to help is to form a debt collection team of elite soldiers and generals, to collect debts from Yan State, South Korea, and our old boss Zhao State."
Xu Jie deliberately asked: "What if the students of the Lord don't give me the others?"
Tofu Xishi immediately opened his almond eyes and grabbed the gentle Qianqian beside him and the fierce concubine Lou Di: "Then I will take my two sisters and a group of children to his house and roll around."
Everyone admires such a mother of the country who ignores her image.
Zhao Xing proudly agreed: "That should be done. If he doesn't give it to him, you can light the palace with a torch."
With the support of her husband, Tofu Xishi became even more excited: "There is also the four-pass clearance level, the territory there is ours, and the taxes there must be all ours. From now on, there will be no more money for Zhao State. Then, second brother, go and ask that Cong Sheng, whether he is a minister of our Tang Dynasty or a deputy general of Zhao State, he must choose 2 or 1. If he chooses the latter." Then he looked at Zhao Xing.
Zhao Xing said calmly: "Give him enough money and let him get out immediately."
Zhao She asked in a low voice: "What if he doesn't get out?"
Zhao Xingyin**: "Destroy him."
"Here."
"Qi Fei." Zhao Xing called Qi Fei.
"I'm here."
"From now on, your Ministry of Revenue will start to do professional plundering. Remember to register those who are willing to follow us. For those who do not leave, you must knock on the bones and suck the marrow and scrape the ground three feet."
"Are those Zhao families the same?"
Zhao Xing said bluntly: "Same, if you dare to resist, you will destroy him."
Qi Fei bowed: "Here."
"Senior Minister of Works."
"I'm here."
"Now, you are the demolition team, or the kind of demolition that you are willing to follow us. We help demolish them. If you are unwilling to follow us, you will demolish them. If you are not willing to follow us, you will demolish them. Everything that is useful must be demolished, first placed in Loufan, and then transported to Linhu." Then tell everyone: "We will build the capital in Hetao because we are a farming nation."
"Here."
"Sir of the Ministry of Personnel."
"I'm here."
"Now you and the Minister of Justice work hard to investigate those who do not become cruel officials. Whoever fails to meet the standards of cruel officials will be punished."
The two ministers were eager to try.
"What should the Minister of Rites do?"
Zhao Xing said naturally: "When is this now? Now is the time when the rituals collapse and the music is broken, so your Ministry of Rites has a huge vacation."
Then he said to Yin Qi: "Old Ge Lao, now from now on, the entire Dai County and Loufan will be handed over to you and your cabinet. I am going to Linhu now."
"You are also Lin Huxiang's help?"
Zhao Xing shook his head firmly: "Of course, I am Lin Hu's helper, go to Lin Hu to quell the rebellion, including the current King Lin Hu." Then he pulled up Loudi: "We brothers are walking."
