Chapter 487

After Zhao Tai returned to Pizhou, he reformed the Qi army, established the Five Army Governor's Office, and reorganized the Qi army into Zhongyi, Ninghai, Wuwei, Xuanwu, Huben, Wuyi, Feijie, Xiaosheng, Huqi, Xiaoqi,

Guiyi, Shenji, and Polang thirteen armies.

Among them, Wuxian and Li Fen each controlled three armies, while Zhao Tai controlled seven armies, completing the integration of Qi's army.

At the same time that the army was reorganized, Shandong's administrative system also completed major changes.

Zhao Tai established the Sisi as the central court of Shandong, with six internal ministries, and renamed the shogunate the cabinet as the highest authority in Shandong. Wang Wentong and Wang Bin were appointed as bachelors to handle Shandong's military and political affairs.

As soon as Zhao Tai was appointed, scholar Wang Bin immediately wrote a letter, "Since ancient times, if we want to rule the world, we should be the first to legislate and make rewards and punishments clear. Now that the king has established himself in Shandong, he has the ambition to restore it. I think that if the king wants to achieve great things, he should let the army and the people know what is wrong and why.

Because the legal system in Shandong is in chaos today, I ask the king to revise the legal system and establish the "Shandong Criminal System" to stamp out evil and lawlessness!"

Zhao Taiguan was overjoyed when he received the memorial. He approved Wang Bin's revision of "Shandong Xingtong", and revised "Tongli" and "Zhengyue" to confirm the rituals and music and win over the northern scholars.

In the same month, Wang Wentong wrote a letter, "Since the end of the Jin Dynasty, the Jin people have reversed the decline and rewarded princes with excessive rewards. In order to win over people's hearts, the Mongols also lightly promised the position of princes, so that in the world, those who have a little military power but do nothing to the world can also be the princes.

Marquis. Since ancient times, the dynasty has collapsed, and officials and titles have been chaotically granted. I believe that the king is wise, and the affairs of the lord should be carefully scrutinized. Jin, the title awarded by Meng, is gold. The title of Meng is not awarded by the king, so the king should set it himself.

My lord, those who are able can enter!"

In order to win over people's hearts, the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols issued numerous titles, which resulted in the northern land being filled with princes and princes. Even within the Qi army, there were many people with titles conferred by the Jin and Mongolia.

If Zhao Tai recognized this title, it would lead to unfair titles within the Qi army.

At that time, those who have made meritorious deeds will have no titles, and those who have made meritless achievements will have no titles, which will dampen morale.

This would also give Mongolia the opportunity to undermine the unity of the Qi army.

As far as Hebei is concerned, there are many Han princes. If Zhao Tairuo recruits them, if they recognize their status as princes, what will the Qi army officers think, and whether they will also be given to princes.

As a result, the indiscriminate distribution of titles will inevitably lead to military and political chaos if Shandong can afford it.

After Zhao Tai read the memorial, he also accepted it. For the generals who had obtained the titles of Jin and Mongolia, they were not required to be knighted. However, Shandong did not recognize the titles of Jin and Mongolia, and the government would not give any corresponding salary or reward.

In July, scholar Wang Bin wrote again, "Since Jingkang, the northern region has been occupied by barbarians. There are many gentry and people in prefectures and counties who, forced by the current situation, have attached themselves to the barbarians. Today Shandong is owned by the king, but the people of Shandong,

There are still secret communicators

Please! Your Majesty, I will inform all the counties and order those who have cooperated with the captives to correct themselves. If it is found out, they will be rewarded with half of the assets they reported. If a relative surrenders himself, his party members will be punished and the person who surrenders will be pardoned. In this way,

No one in Shandong dares to join the captives."

Zhao Tai occupied Shandong, but Mongolia was still powerful, and not all Shandong gentry and people were optimistic about Zhao Tai.

The last time Kublai Khan invaded Shandong, many people surrendered directly to Mongolia.

Nowadays, in Shandong, there are many people who believe that Mongolia will attack again. In order to protect the safety of their families, or are confused by interests, there are many people who secretly provide Shandong news to Mongolia.

Therefore, it is also necessary to clear out the people who are secretly communicating with the Mongols.

Zhao Taisui immediately approved the execution, but false accusations must be strictly guarded against, and those who make false accusations must be sentenced to death to avoid causing chaos.

Wang Bin submitted two letters in a row, both of which were approved by Zhao Tai, so he immediately submitted a third letter, "Although Mongolia and Song Dynasty negotiated peace, the Mongolian army will not move, but in order to prevent them from using small groups of elite cavalry to pretend to be bandits and harass, affecting military and civilian production.

.I take the order of the king

Villages on the border formed a rural camp, with retired sergeants as generals. When a village was attacked, drums were played and fires were raised, so that young men and women would gather. With such a small number of enemies and many people, and with the support of the government and army, no one would slip through the net.

.The Tartars would not dare to enter the country!”

Zhao Tai followed his plan, but the two bachelors seemed to be secretly competing with each other. In August, Wang Wentong also made another appointment.

"It has been many months since February, when I, in the name of setting up a new government agency, urged the people to resume farming and cultivate crops. I have recently inspected the prefectures and counties and observed that although the people in each county resumed farming, there are still vast areas of barren land in each county.

I asked for the reason, but the people were unwilling to cultivate it! I asked the reason again, and it was because the land was being cultivated, and the officials sent officials to take over the land and increase taxes.

The people are all suspicious and fearful, yet they do not open up more land! Shandong is short of food and cannot yet be self-sufficient. There is a lot of land but few people. The vassal government should encourage the people to open up land for cultivation. If the newly cultivated land is exempted from taxes for five years, the old land will be exempted from taxes for five years.

If the land is only taxed according to the old tax and never added, then the field governed by the king will be wide, and if the field is wide, the grain will be abundant, and if the grain is large, the country will be strong!"

The ministers wrote letters one after another, and Zhao Tai adopted useful strategies one by one.

In just a few months, the politics of Shandong were clear, the laws were strict, the people were actively farming, and the atmosphere was completely new.

After the military and political system in Shandong was rectified, the opportunity for such changes was visible to the naked eye, and in the face of such changes, the military and civilians naturally returned home.

Zhao Tai took advantage of this opportunity to open up his voice and issued orders to summon virtuous people, causing Shandong talents to rush to join him.

~~~~~

While Zhao Tai was rectifying the military and political affairs in Shandong, opening up channels of speech, and attracting talents, other actions of the vassal government did not stop.

At the beginning of Zhao Tai's teaching, he proposed to solve the stallion problem.

At this time, on the vast Yellow River, a merchant ship departing from Dengzhou was plowing through the waves.

After the vassal government took over the military and political power in Shandong, Zhao Taizai limited construction to the prefectures and counties under his control.

The land of Dengzhou controls the throat of the Bohai Sea and is the main port connecting Liaodong and Korea.

With the benefit of Zhao Tai, Wang Wentong sent officials to Dengzhou to establish a shipping department and open up routes to Liaodong, Goryeo, and Japan.

At this time, Lu Wende led the warships of the Breaking Wave Army and followed several merchant ships to go to Goryeo for trade.

The fleet sailed at sea for many days, and finally an island appeared in front. The piloting sailor immediately shouted: "Commander, Ganghwa Island has arrived!"

Lu Wende quickly walked to the side of the ship, looked at the islands in the distance, and found more than a dozen small boats on the sea, sailing towards them, which should be the Goryeo navy.

"Liu Yuanwai! What's going on in Goryeo now?" Lu Wende asked aloud while observing the passing Goryeo warships.

Liu Yuan, whose nickname was Liu Jiyuan, was a merchant from Haeju. His business extended to Korea and Japan. In order to get in touch with Korea, the feudal government specially invited him to go to Korea with him.

Liu Jiyuan said: "Reporting to the officials, Mongolia invaded Goryeo a few years ago and captured Kaesong, the capital of Goryeo. Now the Goryeo royal family is hiding on Ganghwa Island. Because of the war in Goryeo, business cannot be done, so I have two
