The sixth year of Qianfu, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This day is one of the most grand and lively festivals of the Tang Dynasty. Every year on this day, the Tang Dynasty government and the people of the Tang Dynasty had three days off. From Chang'an to all parts of the country, the ban on Jinwu's midnight snacks was abolished to facilitate people to enjoy the lanterns, which was called nighttime.

The Northeast China Tourism Administration has also issued an order to come this year for three days of the Spring Festival holiday.

During this rare three nights, from civil officials and generals to peddlers and pawns, all went out to enjoy the lanterns. From Dengzhou to Liaodong, all the cities in Northeast China were full of traffic, with surging men and women and uniforms, and extremely lively.

Various lanterns have already started to sell well early on. For this reason, Li Rang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, specially pulled out 100,000 yuan to decorate the festive atmosphere of Liaodong City and Dengzhou City in these three days.

So although it started to snow heavily since the morning, there were still endless cars, horses and pedestrians coming and going on the streets of Liaodong City. Parents also allowed their children to wear new clothes and pile up snowmen beside the streets, shouting and chasing, and fighting, without stopping.

Even the patrol soldiers who walked by from time to time were wearing big red cotton robes today, majestic and handsome.

However, Li Jing, who had just returned to Liaodong City, could not enjoy all this.

Since the establishment of the Northeast Road Daxingtai, Li Jing has promoted all the former governors of the Six Towns to serve in Taichung, and the position of the Six Towns Daxingtai has been vacant.

Li Jing has not appointed a new commander of the Six Towns, but the civil servants and generals below have been staring at it. Now, it is already a blink of an eye, and the small-scale war against Youzhou has ended. At this time, Li Jing has no reason to drag this matter any longer.

In the Daxingtai Yamen, the Minister of the Daxingtai Zuo Pushe Cui Yunqing's eyes stopped on a self-ringing bell on the table on the north side of the hall. The shape of the bell was a jade carved with a handsome horse and one foot on a flying swallow. The entire bell shell was carved with gold and jade, and the clock face was a jade plate, marked for twelve hours. Below was a jade sway, swinging back and forth.

The sound of "tick-tick" is constantly ringing.

This self-tone bell is a luxury type and is given to Daxingtai by the Self-tone bell factory. Cui Yunqing knew very well that this self-tone bell factory is actually Li Jing's industry, but the income is also divided into the finances of Daxingtai. It is considered to be Li Jing's internal treasury, but the money in the internal treasury is also handed over to Li Rang for use.

This self-ringing bell can now be regarded as the hottest product in Northeast China, and it is priced but not in the market. In Chang'an, it costs 1,000 yuan, but in Silla, Bohai, and Japan, it is 3,000 yuan. However, it is exported to Thai merchants such as Dashi, Daqin, etc., at least 5,000 yuan. This is just a luxury type. The collection and treasure type that is more luxurious than this is at least 3,000 yuan, and the sales of overseas are as high as 1,000 yuan.

The Ziying Bell Factory is located in Liaodong City. Although it recruits a large number of craftsmen and workers, its current output is still very low. But even so. After the production started, within six months of last year, the Ziying Bell Factory has sold 3,000 self-tone bells, achieving sales of more than 9 million guan, creating more than one million guan taxes to the big market. The Ziying Bell Factory has also achieved a profit of more than 6 million guan, which is truly a huge gold mountain.

Moreover, since this self-ringing bell is a luxury item, a luxury tax is also imposed, and it is mainly sold overseas. The newly established customs department of the large bank Taiwan has to impose a large tariff. Moreover, although this bell is expensive, it earns money from rich people, and does not affect ordinary people at all.

"Clang!" As soon as half an hour arrived, the self-sounding bell rang out on time. Cui Yunqing was shocked. Until now, he still felt that the self-sounding bell rang out every half an hour, and the sound was so loud.

He glanced at Li Jing and found Li Jing sitting there waiting for their opinions.

"Brother Xingxu, I wonder what your opinion is on this?" Cui Yunqing was not the first to speak, but pushed Li Zhen's head first and asked him to speak first.

This is not because he is smooth, but because this time Li Jing summoned the left and right servants, the left and right ministers and the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice to discuss matters, and the matter to be discussed was too important. There was no news in advance. After coming in, each person suddenly sent a memorandum, which was written about the changes to the current official positions in the major bureaus.

According to what was said above, this time the change was too big. First of all, the position of the Six Towns Jiedushi, which everyone is watching, will be cancelled.

Not all the abolishment of the military system for more than a hundred years is the only thing that is to comprehensively reform the existing official system and military system. This reform is extremely great, and Cui Yunqing didn't know whether it was Li Jing's intention. Therefore, he did not agree or object immediately.

Li Jing wore a hard winged head today, a purple robe with a jade belt around her waist, but a pair of high-tube calfskin wool boots, sitting upright on the chair.

When Li Zhen received this memorial, he could see at a glance that the unsigned memorial must have been written by the prince. He just glanced through it quickly and understood that the original intention of this memorial was to cut power and decentralize power. Just like the previous decentralization of power to the governor, this time he was divided into the power of the governor.

In this memorandum, Li Jing's reform plan was written very clearly, and the Jiedu system would be abolished and the province would be established instead.

Today, Northeast Road belongs to the Shangshu Province, but the grade is a big Shangshu Province. According to this note, it seems that a smaller provincial province is to be established. However, it is different from the previous Shangshu system. The new provincial system replaces the original Jiedu and abolishes the Jiedu, but does not have the Xingshu Order.

Instead, the power of the Jiedushi who was originally in charge of affairs in a town was divided into three, and the original state governor was divided into three, and it was changed to the governor. The defense envoy was the same as the inspector, and the same was true for this province.

The new province will have a governor in charge of civil administration, a governor in charge of justice, and a governor in charge of military affairs in a province.

Northeast Road will lay off and merge the existing states, and finally establish 30 prefectures and 100 counties.

The original six towns will be changed to the Five Elements Province.

The five provinces are Liaodong Province, Liaoxi Province, Shandong Province, Beiping Province and Andong Province.

The current Ziqing Town and Denglai Town are combined into one, becoming the new Shandong province, with the jurisdiction of Zizhou, Qingzhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qizhou.

The Liaodong area will be bounded by the Liaohe River, east of the Liaohe River, north of the Yalu River, and south of the Bohai Sea Fuyu, including the Liaodong Peninsula, which will be classified as the Liaodong Province. After the merger of prefectures and counties in Liaodong Province, it will be governed by seven prefectures: Jinzhou, Jianzhou, Anzhou, Liaozhou, Tiezhou, Xizhou and Shenzhou.

To the west of the Liao River, to the south of the West Liao River, to the east of the Tu River, to the north of the Yanshan Mountains, and to the eastern part of the Khitan Grassland, they will be designated as western Liao provinces, including Yingzhou, Jinzhou, Ningzhou, Fuzhou, Fuzhou, Kezhou, and Panzhou.

The Andong Province is the area east of Wugu River and south of Yalu River. Xiuzhou, which was originally the mouth of the Yalu River on the Liaodong Peninsula, was designated as the Andong Province. It includes Qingzhou, Hengzhou, Danzhou, Hezhou, and Xianzhou. Among them, Hezhou and Xianzhou are all lands that were later ceded from the Bohai Kingdom.

Beiping Province is the Yanshan area, east of Taihang and west of Liaohai. It includes Pingzhou, Jizhou, Tanzhou, and newly established Shunzhou and Jingzhou.

The original Liaodong land was merged and severed several states.

The six towns and five provinces are not very different at all. Basically, the territory of each province has been expanded a little.

However, the Jiedushi who originally took charge of a town was abolished and changed to the three governors to take over the power of one province.

It can be seen that the core of the reform is decentralization.

It turned out that the governor had great power, but since the reform, the governor only took charge of civil affairs, and even lost judicial power, and even less military power.

However, the defense envoys of each state actually had no real power. After seeing the reform of this province, Li Zhen began to focus on the position of governor in charge of the military of a province. The defense envoys of the state did not really control the actual power of the army, so does this governor have the actual power of the army?

If the governor still actually holds the military power of a province, then there will be little change in this reform.

Li Zhen continued to flip back and immediately saw what he was guessing behind.

After the repeal of the Jiedushi and changed it to the provincial government to establish the third supervisor, the reform of the military system became deeper this time.

The Governor's Office and the General Staff of the Five Army were newly established, and together with the Ministry of War, they were in charge of military orders and political affairs.

But these three departments are different. According to the above statement, after the reform, Daxingtai established the Governor's Office of the Five Army Front, Back, Left and Left. The Governor's Office of the Five Army will be in charge of all the troops in Daxingtai, and will be the highest commanding authority of the army in Daxingtai, controlling all the military training of the Northeastern Road, guarding the foreign troops, and relocating and repatriating the rewards and punishments. The five armies are not affiliated with each other, and each army commands about twenty battalions. The Governor of the Five Army is directly under the Minister of the Daxingtai. He has the right to command the military, but has no right to dispatch military troops.

The General Staff is responsible for formulating strategic decisions, handling defense affairs, and recruiting, reviewing and dispatching troops. The General Staff has the right to mobilize troops, but does not have the right to command the troops.

After the restructuring of the Ministry of War, all the important authority was distributed to the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the General of the General of the Staff. The generals of the Ministry of War were only responsible for the examination and selection of military generals, in charge of uniting soldiers, township soldiers, managing the guards of honor, carriages, and coordinating the Ministry of Revenue to allocate military rations and military pay, and are responsible for logistics and equipment. They handle administrative and logistics work.

According to the new regulations, the military power is in the hands of the Daxingtai Shangshu Ling. Every time the army goes to war, the general will be appointed by the Daxingtai Shangshu Ling. It is also stipulated that the commanders of each army must also implement the garrison and rotation method. Generals must change the generals after leading the troops for up to three years. And soldiers must also rotate the garrison and the garrison area after three years of garrison.

In short, it turned out that the Ministry of War, which had the highest authority among the six provinces of Tai, suddenly all rights were given to the General Staff and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and the Ministry of War became only a clean yamen responsible for administrative and logistics affairs.

The newly established staff is equivalent to the Privy Council of the imperial court. It has the power to mobilize troops, but does not have the power to command military troops.

The Governor's Office of the Five Army was equivalent to the twelve guards in the early days of the imperial court. It had the power to command military command, but did not have the power to transfer military commands.

The Daxingtai Shangshu Ling had the power of military power. When the army went to war, the commander was appointed by the Daxingtai Shangshu Ling.

In this situation where the power of governing the military, holding the power of military power, and communicating the military power is separated, although the local provincial governors have the name of unifying the military of the province, they are actually the same as the Ministry of War in the Daxingtai. They are in charge of the military administration and logistics work of a province, and they are in charge of the united soldiers and village soldiers.

Moreover, under this system, during non-war times, the army was stationed in various places in battalions, and the generals above the battalions stayed in the Governor's Office of the Five Army where Daxingtai was located. When encountering war, the Minister of the Daxingtai ordered the general to use troops. After the war, the troops returned to the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

In addition, this restructuring also includes the Supervision Department system that has begun to operate and the restructuring of officials from various counties.

However, compared with the major changes in the abolition of the Jiedushi and the establishment of a province, the reduction of the authority of the Ministry of War, the establishment of the General Staff and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, Li Zhen and others did not have the heart to pay attention to the reform of the official system.
